cold hearted son-in-law

That night, it was the eldest princess standing outside the funeral hall. Chu Yunxi was stunned for a long time after hearing what Li Mo said, but he didn't go out to look for her.I only know that it took a long time before the eldest princess put on a silver and white cloak, walked in slowly, went straight to the high platform, watched silently for a long time, and finally walked in front of Chu Yunxi who was still kneeling on the futon.The four eyes met, speechless, wei hugged each other gently, we hadn't seen each other for more than four months, the eldest princess was thinner than Chu Yunxi, she said softly in Chu Yunxi's ear: "This is a joke!" It's over." After the words fell, tears streamed down her face, dripping on Chu Yunxi's neck, Chu Yunxi only felt pain from the hot tears, her heart felt as if stabbed by a knife, she gritted her teeth and hugged her tightly. holding the person in his arms.

When it was already ugly outside, Chu Yunxi left Li Mo alone to watch the spirit, and then took the man in his arms back to his bedroom, washed and changed his clothes, and cleaned up.Chu Yunxi saw that the eldest princess's lips were chapped, so she fed some water. Seeing that she didn't want to swallow anything, she didn't force her. The two lay side by side on the bed. Chu Yunxi hugged the thin person and asked distressedly: "Didn't you say you didn't come back until three days later? What's going on? Is Mrs. Hua going back on her word?"

The eldest princess leaned against Chu Yunxi's arms, looked at the void with empty eyes, shook her head, interlocked her fingers with Chu Yunxi's, and held them tightly like grasping a life-saving straw.

Chu Yunxi saw that her face was pale, her eyes were blood red, and her expression was haggard, so she stopped asking, and patted the eldest princess on the back lightly, telling her to close her eyes and go to sleep.

The eldest princess closed her eyes obediently, but opened them again after a while, looking at Chu Yunxi nervously, but didn't say a word.

Chu Yunxi kept watching over her, seeing that she was restless in sleep, and wanted to get up and massage her acupuncture points, but one hand was tightly held, and he struggled gently.As soon as there was a movement, the eldest princess' eyes looked over, and her eyes quickly changed from bewilderment to fierceness. Chu Yunxi was taken aback when she met him suddenly, and for some reason suddenly remembered the fierce and vicious expression of the emperor before his death. eyes, a cold sweat broke out.

After a while, the eldest princess seemed to wake up, and she lowered her eyes when she saw the person in front of her was startled, but she still stubbornly refused to let go.

"Sleep well, I'll massage your acupuncture points, don't worry, I won't leave, I'll be with you all the time." Chu Yunxi said it twice, and finally handed over her sleeve, and the eldest princess let go awkwardly Holding her sleeve with his hands, pulling it tightly, as if wanting to tear off the sleeve, Chu Yunxi gently massaged the eldest princess's head, although the technique was jerky, but cautious, until the eldest princess's breathing became stable and she Settling down, he rubbed his numb hands and quietly looked at the sleeping face of the Eldest Princess.

It was dark outside, and unknown bugs flew in from the window, flying around the candlelight, and the sound of wings vibrating could be heard in the silence around.

"Chengqian! Chengqian!!!" The eldest princess suddenly yelled anxiously, and woke up suddenly. Chu Yunxi hurriedly hugged him and patted him to comfort him.

The eldest princess was in a trance, as if she couldn't hear anything, she just grasped Chu Yunxi's sleeve tightly, and muttered to herself: "I dreamed that Chengqian was covered in blood, so I pulled my sleeve and asked, "Sister Huang, Why did you leave the orphan alone? Didn’t you take care of the queen mother to keep the orphan safe? His whole body was covered in blood and his clothes were all stained red."

"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream. If the Empress knows what you've done for her, she won't have the heart to blame you!" Chu Yunxi coaxed.In fact, she also checked the prince's body when it was transported back. It should be that he killed himself, and after the defeat, King Qi collected his body and sent it back.

The eldest princess didn't answer, she looked up at Chu Yunxi in Chu Yunxi's arms, Chu Yunxi also lowered her head and looked seriously into the eyes of the eldest princess, her eyes met each other, one was gentle and firm with a cool indifference, and the other starry eyes were hidden deep Bewildered.

"Sleep, I will accompany you." Chu Yunxi raised a soothing smile, clear and shallow, and gently embraced the eldest princess.

"Yunxi, will you blame me for being selfish? Huangfuxu said she wants you, so she won't even think about it, Yunxi, will you go to her for the medicine?" The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi with tears in her eyes, holding her tightly. Grabbing Chu Yunxi's arm, the nails pierced into Chu Yunxi's flesh.

"No, sleep peacefully, I'll be by my side and watch over you." Chu Yunxi endured the pain and coaxed her softly, and she understood in her heart that Huangfu Xu was Mrs. Hua's name, and Mrs. Hua probably wanted to imprison her again. The eldest princess was offended, so she called her by her first name.

"Really?" The eldest princess finally relaxed, but still asked with red eyes.

"It's absolutely true, I lied to you as a puppy." Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, and kissed the eldest princess on the forehead pitifully. Then the eldest princess felt relieved, took a look at Chu Yunxi, and shrank into her arms obediently. , and closed his eyes again.

Chu Yunxi quietly looked at the sleeping face of the Eldest Princess snuggled up in her arms, her eyelashes were like fans, and her nose moved slightly, showing a bit of cuteness. She couldn't see any precautions or calculations when she woke up, and it made people feel closer , Chu Yunxi's eyes were as gentle as water, and he didn't feel relieved until the eldest princess was breathing steadily, but she didn't feel sleepy.Carefully got up and walked to the window, the cool wind blowing in from outside made her long hair flutter, Chu Yunxi looked at the bright moon like water in the sky, the starry night sky, thinking that when she first came to Huaxia, she was often awakened by nightmares and could not sleep at night It is really unpredictable.The vicissitudes of life seem to have passed away, why did I come here?Chu Yunxi stood silently by the window for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Murong family's rebellion was reduced to a minor one, and the entire Murong family was punished without implicating others. It was dealt with swiftly and swiftly.All the ministers suspected that Chu Yunxi used his power to oppress others in order to gain power, but the Qin family and the Murong family had precedents here, and no one dared to criticize them, they only wanted to save the lives of the whole family.

And Li Mo even imitated Chu Yunxi, and even used more ruthless methods.In the Linshuo Palace, Li Mo became impatient. He wanted to get rid of the Qin family quickly. The eldest princess had already returned. Duke, if you can’t be punished, how about removing the hereditary position of Lord of the Four Kingdoms?”

How can Chu Yunxi not know Li Mo's plan, which is to fight for power, eliminate differences, and cultivate influence.The founders of the Four Kingdoms, the Li family of Rong An Gong rebelled, the Bai family of Zhongxin Gong rebelled, the Qin family of Mingxian Gong was imprisoned, and the Yang family of Wende Gong fell.Today's rebellion of the four kingdoms is rebellious, and the decline is declining. Even the royal family and Huangfu are now declining, whether they are reformed or not.Chu Yunxi ignored Li Mo, and looked at the battle report just received in his hand. King Li Taiqi and Bai Shaotang led an army of 30 troops, divided into three groups, and they were rushing towards the palace, but the army that Li Mo originally set up to stop him was dispatched by him. After returning to the palace, Chu Yunxi was furious and remained silent for a long time.

"Yunxi, did you hear what I said?" Li Mo raised his voice in displeasure when he saw that Chu Yunxi didn't agree with him.

Chu Yunxi glanced at him, and said after a while: "Release Qin Jue and his wife, and punish the others according to the law."

Hearing this, Li Mo was relieved, and asked with a grin, "Did Zhang Han come to you to intercede? From his face, Qin Jue's wife, Zhang Yue, can let him go, but Qin Jue is the son of the Qin family. You Do you really want to let him go?"

"Zhang Yue asked someone to find me. She is pregnant, and she doesn't want to lose her father after the child is born. Besides, the Qin family has collapsed, and Qin Jue's life and death will not affect anything." Chu Yunxi said calmly.

But Li Mo said disapprovingly: "Cut the weeds and root out the roots, and if Zhang Yue is really pregnant, I won't be able to let her go."

"Li Mo!" Chu Yunxi shouted, enraged by Li Mo's words, and Li Mo's secret deployment of troops, his heart was burning with anger.

Li Mo didn't take it seriously, he smiled and found his original book which was put aside by Chu Yunxi. Li Mo was in charge of finding out the case and other things, and he took the jade seal to seal it.Chu Yunxi watched what he did with cold eyes, not wanting to scold them angrily in front of all the servants, Li Mogai put the jade seal back to its original place, bowed, and went away with a triumphant smile.Chu Yunxi stared at his back and walked away, just watching with cold eyes. The fate of the Qin family was decided by Li Mo in this way, but he didn't expect that Li Mo would do more than that.

According to the records of Chinese history, in the Huzhou massacre in the ninth year of Jianwen, in August of the 12th year of Jianwen, the general Li Mo found out that the mastermind behind it was the prime minister of Qin. The case involved more than a hundred officials of all sizes, including six high-ranking court officials of the fourth rank or above.When the case was closed at the end of August in 11, there were records in the register: 31 officials committed suicide, 56 were executed by ransacking their homes, [-] were demoted and exiled, and countless families were implicated in this case and their families were ruined.At the time when the new emperor was enthroned, the case was extremely sensational at the time, and General Li Mo was conferred the title of marquis by the new emperor for his contribution.

At the end of August in the 12th year of Jianwen, the two-year-old seventh son of the emperor, Huang Fuhan, ascended the throne in the Nanhang Palace and continued to use the reign name Jianwen.The son-in-law Chu Yunxi was granted the title of prime minister and emperor's teacher, and the general Li Mo was granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty and commander of the three armies, and was ordered to crusade against the rebel Mrs. Hua.

"Do you also think that I am evading responsibility?" Huangfuze asked with a wry smile. He only returned two days after the eldest princess returned to the palace. Things, all day sitting under the osmanthus tree in the palace and drinking, silent.Huangfuze was still wearing a black robe and his hair was not tied up. He let it fly loose in the wind, and the sleeve of his left hand fluttered in the wind. He didn't wait for Chu Yunxi to answer after he finished asking, he just looked up at the golden and finely shattered leaves on the tree. Osmanthus, don't smile bitterly.His face is still immature, but his eyebrows are dark, his eyes are vicissitudes, and his expression is low.

"You can't force anyone if you don't want to, but if you become depressed because of setbacks, that will be the most disappointing." Chu Yunxi approached, and saw that there were several jars of unopened mud that had just been moved out of the wine cellar beside him. He picked up an altar of wine, and sat with him on the ground under the tree, and then continued: "You have also been on the battlefield, and it is life and death in an instant, and it is lucky to come back alive."

Huangfuze looked at Chu Yunxi, raised the wine jar, the two touched each other, and each took a big gulp of wine.Huangfuze was still dull and silent, Chu Yunxi lowered his head and coughed twice after drinking, smiled, and asked Huangfuze: "What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know." Huangfuze shook his head, eyes confused.

"How about going to train soldiers?" Chu Yunxi thought for a while while drinking before saying.

"The 5 horses you transferred to me are under the command of Linye, and you can direct them directly, while most of the other soldiers and horses are in Li Mo's hands. I think he is also a good trainer. It is useless if I go. He is proud of himself now. He might not pay attention to me, an idle prince." Huangfuze laughed at himself, and wanted to have a drink with Chu Yunxi, but he casually glanced at Chu Yunxi's expression, only to find that Chu Yunxi's face was a little pale, his eyes I don't know what to think.

"Then you just drink to live like this?" Chu Yunxi glanced at him lightly, if Huangfu Ze went to Li Mo's place, would Li Mo still be able to push it away?Even if he was an idle prince, Li Mo would not dare to belittle him, it's just that Huangfuze didn't want to go.

"What I do now has nothing to do with you." After Huangfuze finished speaking, he stopped talking, drank a few sips of wine, and fell silent again.

"You think I'm an official who steals the country!" After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, Huangfuze was surprised for a moment, and she just smiled and said, "You can see what you think on your face."

Huangfuze was a little annoyed, took another sip of wine, and said angrily, "Isn't it? You and that Li Mo are working together!"

Chu Yunxi didn't care about his attitude, and took out the imperial decree he found in the secret room from his bosom, handed it over and said: "This is the imperial decree written by the first emperor himself, you can take a look."

Huangfuze took it suspiciously and read it, clutching the imperial decree tightly, his complexion ashen, read it carefully several times, pondered in silence for a long time, and carefully looked at the people sitting beside him.Chu Yunxi's jade face is cold, her eyebrows are cold, her eyebrows are thin and her lips are thin, she is dressed in a smoky purple silk dress with treasure-face patterns, a purple gold cage crown inlaid with purple gemstones, black leather boots, and a leather belt around her waist. Hanging sachet, in the shape of a crane and a mantis, is unparalleled in elegance.It's a pity that no matter how he sees her, she doesn't look like a loyal minister. He has also seen Chu Yunxi from afar wearing a jacket, an official uniform with double-breasted and large sleeves, long boots, a gold hook and a jade belt, and a jade pendant ribbon. , an extremely human minister, looking down on everything.However, no matter whether she is dressed up or in casual clothes, nothing can hide the noble and indifferent aura on her body. This kind of coldness comes from the bottom of her body. It is definitely not the same as his own cold outside and hot inside. He couldn't figure out why Chu Yunxi He wants to help him, but he doesn't want to think about these things anymore. Now he doesn't want anything, he just wants to stay away from all of this. If it is true that he is demoted to a commoner like this decree, he will have no complaints.Since the beginning of the war, he has experienced too many changes, falling from the peak to the abyss, all his vigor and arrogance have been wiped out, and he has developed a heart to avoid world-weariness.

Chu Yunxi looked back at him, the two suddenly had nothing to say, Chu Yunxi drank wine in silence and sat with him for a while, seeing that Huangfuze was drinking more fiercely than before, and seemed to be half drunk and half awake, Chu Yunxi retracted his words The imperial decree on the ground suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Do you know why the emperor always wants to abolish the crown prince?"

Huangfuze's eyes were clouded, he was taken aback for a while, looked at Chu Yunxi, and saw that there was no one around in the courtyard, he hesitated for a while before saying, "Why did you ask this suddenly?"

"Then do you know?" Chu Yunxi felt confident after seeing his actions.

"This involves royal secrets, and it's a matter of the previous generation. Few people know about it, and I just heard about it. If you want to know, it's okay to tell you." Huangfuze smelled of alcohol, and his tongue was already a little stiff.

Chu Yunxi listened to him quietly, Huangfuze didn't beat around the bush, and said directly with drunken eyes: "You have seen the empress, she is better than the eldest princess in terms of appearance and temperament, and she was born as a loyal and trustworthy public daughter, appointed by the late emperor. Crown Princess, it stands to reason that such an unparalleled woman should be dignified and elegant, dignified and indifferent, and respectful of etiquette, right? But who knows that she provoked Mrs. Hua and the emperor into a situation of death! At that time, Mrs. Hua was still The princess Huachao, who is much loved by the emperor and empress, sneaked out of the palace once to play. The carriage of Princess Huachao was frightened and was about to hit a pedestrian on the side of the road. That's when we met. Do you know who that young man is? That young man is the future queen! It is said that the queen and the princess of the Hua Dynasty had a very good relationship when she was still in her boudoir, and they were inseparable all day long. The first emperor passed away, and the princess of the Hua Dynasty married into the Bai family, but she was still entangled with the queen. My mother and concubine fought for favor back then, and they were in the same situation as the queen, so I told the emperor about them. She dotes on Wushuang, how could she tolerate this matter, and after a secret investigation, she found out that the Queen and Madam Hua had agreed to flee privately. The Emperor was furious and threatened the Qin family, forcing the Queen to kill Madam Hua herself. I don't know what happened, but later on the emperor also felt disgusted with the prince and the eldest princess, and hated the prince even more, and even poisoned and tortured the queen. I also heard that Mrs. Hua had searched all over the world for a wonderful medicine to heal the queen. Did you find it? I don't know where to find them, but in the end the two turned against each other. The queen once said, "Flying to the east and flying swallows to the west is not as good as Huangquan, and you will never see each other." So even though the two of them are only separated by a palace gate, one wall and the other outside, for more than ten years They came and avoided each other, and in the end the queen didn't even see Mrs. Hua again after she died."

Huangfucheng's short anecdote made Chu Yunxi stunned for a long time before recovering, and he was sobbing for that sentence that was not as good as Huangquan Wuxian.What happened in the first place?She knew that Mrs. Hua had found the Tai Chi Pill, so she should be able to save the queen, why didn't she?And during the time she was treating the queen, she never heard the queen mention Mrs. Hua.But immediately raised his brows, the carriage was frightened?Boys in men's clothing?Isn't this the scene when she pretended to be Li Mo and first met Mrs. Hua?How much did Mrs. Hua deceive her when she confessed to her the reasons for staying and rebelling to seize the throne?And the eldest princess, is this heredity?So no matter how calm, self-reliant and intelligent she was, the eldest princess, she didn't escape her own disaster?Chu Yunxi smiled wryly in his heart, what is this called?And the emperor, who was not only suspicious, but also so ruthless that he killed his wife and harmed his son, did he become perverted because of being hurt by love?

Chu Yunxi was about to say something again, but found that this guy who didn't have much drink had passed out again, so he had to call someone to carry him back. Watching the sunset, he covered his mouth and coughed again. Seeing nothing unusual, he went back to the bedroom alone to find the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was waiting for Chu Yunxi outside the hall, when she saw someone approaching, she smiled and took Chu Yunxi's arm and went back to the hall together, it became a habit after a few days.

"Let someone pass the meal now?" the eldest princess asked with a smile, and handed over a glass of water.

"Okay." Chu Yunxi took the cup and drank it slowly. The eldest princess sat beside her, holding her other hand without letting go. The palace servants in the palace watched Chu Yun secretly. Xi didn't dare either.

Since the eldest princess returned to the palace, she gradually began to cling to Chu Yunxi more and more, and Chu Yunxi let her hold hands and hug her.Now they are all alone, only care about each other.The eldest princess said it was even, so forget all the grievances and lies in the past, and start all over again.

Chu Yunxi didn't mention the emperor and the prince, nor the Chu family case and the Qin family extermination, she didn't say anything about the past.

The eldest princess didn't ask how the emperor died, nor did she ask about Chu Yunxi's poison. The eldest princess didn't ask anything, but sometimes she would lie in Chu Yunxi's arms and touch the unhealed wound on her arm in a daze. What are you thinking.
