Chapter 333 Whatever Father wants is fine!
Chapter 333 Whatever Father wants is fine!
The old emperor ordered Princess Yan to treat Princess Yu as a matter of course, but at the same time he cold-bloodedly ordered Xiao Hanye to enter the palace alone.
Although he knew it was a trap, Xiao Hanye had no choice but to follow it.
Because his princess is inside.
Feng Chuan, Jiang Yan and Leng Jiu looked at each other and hugged him in unison: "Your Majesty, please do not act on impulse. You should think long-term."
Xiao Hanye struggled to break free from the crowd and said angrily: "If he wants to take back my military power, then he can do so. I just want my princess to be safe!"
What about the kingship and hegemony? These things that were the most important in his heart in the past are now not as important as his Ah Yue!
Feng Chuan did not give up. Facing his heavy gaze, he hugged his waist again and said earnestly: "My lord, please do not be impulsive. If you really step into the palace alone this time, it will be a dead end with no chance of turning back... But if you can give up when necessary, then your long-cherished wish can be fulfilled..."
After saying that, he couldn't help swallowing.
Although Fengchuan's words were very cruel, they were true. Moreover, if he was not loyal to his prince, he would never dare to say it. It was just that he really couldn't bear to see his prince's long-cherished wish fail, and he couldn't bear to see his prince die innocently!
Qin Siang also said passionately: "Damn it, Your Majesty, you have fought for the emperor, risked your life, and defended your country, but in the end you got such a fate. It's better to rebel. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, I am willing to break into the palace for you and seize the throne!"
He was a hot-tempered man and didn't understand the twists and turns. He just spoke from his heart. Moreover, the old emperor was too ruthless and even his son-in-law was exiled to Youzhou.
He was a hot-tempered man. His daughter seemed polite, but in fact she was also hot-tempered. She actually abandoned her family and brother and followed Xiao Yihang to Youzhou.
His son was even more hot-tempered. When he saw his sister was gone, he wrote him a letter directly, saying that he was already fourteen years old and it was time to fulfill his promise to join the army. So, he went to Dongjun to look for his old friend Su Xun without asking for permission.
Now he is all alone, what is he afraid of?
Not only was he not afraid, but some other generals who were nearby were also afraid. Upon hearing his expression of loyalty, they immediately knelt down and surrendered.
"For so many years, it has been Prince Yan who has been protecting our Beixiao River and Mountains. Prince Yan has worked so hard and made so many contributions. The Emperor cannot treat you like this. I will obey your orders in everything!"
"I have no royal authority in my eyes, only the prince. I will do whatever the prince tells me to do!"
"I swear to follow you till death!"
"I swear to follow you till death!"
Seeing the huge crowd of surrendering soldiers, Feng Chuan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, he who wins the hearts of the people will win the world!"
Xiao Hanye sneered and raised his hand to stop the kneeling: "If you soldiers follow me to seize the throne, you will become traitors, and some of you will even lose your family's reputation for loyalty!"
He was not a man who cared about fame. Although he had never thought about usurping the throne, he would not even blink an eye if that day came. However, if he forced the emperor to abdicate at this time, he would undoubtedly lead all the soldiers to their deaths... because his princess was held captive inside...
From the beginning, he lost the initiative...
Thinking of this, he felt annoyed for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the palace with big strides...
Leng Jiu and Jiang Yan looked at each other and quickly followed. They were the prince's personal servants, so they could naturally follow the prince into the palace.
But the others were all on duty in the military camp, and not being summoned to the palace was considered treason. Looking at the resolute figure of their marshal, they all knelt down and kowtowed sadly...
At this time, in the palace, Chu Nanyue was performing a caesarean section on Ouyang Yu to give birth to a child.
Although the three men all chose to save Ouyang Yu, they were no match for the determination of a mother. Ouyang Yu knelt down in great pain and begged for help, otherwise she would refuse to cooperate with anything.
Upon hearing that Xiao Hanye came in, the emperor glanced at Su Hu and went straight to the imperial study.
Su Hu naturally knew what he meant and immediately obeyed the order.
Since Xiao Jun'an and Ouyang Qing were men and it was inconvenient for them to be present, they left behind enough manpower and imperial doctors and waited outside the door.
Chu Nanyue touched her belly, took a deep breath, and then slowly comforted Ouyang Yu: "Don't be afraid, Princess Yu, I will definitely try my best to save you."
Ouyang Yu said weakly: "Well... I'm not afraid... Sister Nanyue is the best person I have ever met..."
Looking at her innocent face, Chu Nanyue felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Firstly, it was for herself and her prince, and secondly, it was for fate. The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times. If there were no such calculation and cruelty, it would be better for them to be as free as ordinary people.
Then, she put away her compassion, finished the preoperative work, and gently cut open Ouyang Yu's belly with the knife...
The atmosphere here was solemn, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was also depressing.
Seeing that Xiao Hanye really came alone, the old emperor said meaningfully: "Prince Yan has worked hard in this battle with Nanye."
Xiao Hanye said calmly: "Sharing the worries of the emperor is the duty of a son and a minister. It can't be said to be hard work."
The old emperor nodded slightly and said slowly, "The King of Yan has fulfilled his duty as a minister, which comforts me." After a pause, he said tentatively, "But, I heard that you have always had a very high prestige in the army, and the soldiers all follow your lead. Is this true?"
Xiao Hanye sneered, and then said calmly: "Father, I am just doing my duty and being strict with myself, and the soldiers are convinced. As for prestige, I dare not think about it."
The old emperor smiled and said, "But what if Father has this idea?"
Xiao Hanye also laughed: "You should hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. Father has imprisoned the Princess of Yan and has strangled the lifeblood of this son and subject. Father can do whatever he wants!"
The old emperor slammed the table angrily and said, "How dare you! How could I imprison your princess? She happened to be born in the harem to treat Princess Yu!"
Although he did imprison the Princess of Yan, this was not an upright method for a king, so when he heard Xiao Hanye tearing off the last layer of membrane between the two, he was still very angry.
And a larger part of this anger comes from his disobedience to him!
And he always disobeyed him.
Even though he had his lifeblood at this moment, he still refused to bow to him.
He is the emperor, the supreme ruler, and is used to people bowing down to him, groveling and flattering him... So, how could he allow others to disobey him again and again?
Xiao Hanye looked straight at the old emperor and said word by word, "In that case, please allow Princess Yan to return home. She will give birth soon and cannot stand the slightest torture." After a pause, he added, "As for me, I am willing to stay in the palace for her."
The old emperor suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Han'er is indeed the one who looks most like his father among all the princes. If he is not emotional, it's fine. But if he is emotional, his love is as deep as the sea. He is actually willing to achieve such a status for the Princess of Yan!"
It saved him the trouble.
Xiao Hanye was dismissive. The old emperor's self-proclaimed deep affection was worthless in his eyes, so he sneered: "Father, what you said is wrong. How can a son compare to your love?"
Upon hearing this, the old emperor was immediately furious. He slammed the table with such force that even the documents on the table flew up. He glared at Xiao Hanye and said sinisterly, "Benevolence? How can I be as benevolent as your lowly mother?"
He had never thought of telling the truth about his cuckoldry, but at this moment, he was really mad at Xiao Han. How dare this rebellious son disobey him like this? So he spoke too quickly and killed one thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of his own.
He originally thought that it would be embarrassing to say it out loud, but looking at his rebellious son whose face suddenly darkened, he felt a sense of revenge in his heart: "I originally thought that the awkward relationship between you and your mother was caused by you, but now it seems that it is because that bitch has someone else in her heart. Do you know who that person is?"
Although Xiao Hanye has always rejected his mother, she has always been his Achilles' heel.
So, he said sinisterly: "Nonsense, I don't believe a word of it!"
The old emperor sneered: "You can't help but believe it, bring Concubine Rong up!"
Since this evil son does not believe and thinks himself noble, he will personally break his arrogance today, and no one in this world can disobey him.
Soon, Concubine Rong was brought up by two imperial guards. Her once beautiful face was now haggard and exhausted. Especially when she saw Xiao Hanye, she burst into tears: "Han'er... Han'er... you're back..."
Xiao Hanye looked at her with extremely complicated feelings.
Although he had never been close to her and even disliked her in his heart, she was his biological mother after all.
The old emperor looked at the loving mother and filial son scene in front of him, curled his lips in mockery, and then ordered Rong Fei, "Rong Fei, tell the King of Yan, who was the man before you entered the palace?"
Concubine Rong sobbed even louder, her face showing extreme pain and regret: "Your Majesty... Han'er... I was forced..."
"Speak!" The old emperor suddenly became furious and picked up an inkstone from the table and threw it at her. Xiao Hanye raised his hand to block it, and the dark ink splashed on his hand, just like his gloomy heart at the moment: "Who is it?"
Facing the two men's wrath, Rong Fei turned pale with fear. She trembled and said, "...Chu Zhaoyu..."
The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Xiao Hanye heard it extremely clearly. He felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
Chu Zhaoyu is actually his mother's lover? It turns out that the power in Chu Zhaoyu's palace is actually his mother's?
He felt dizzy, and suddenly he understood things that he couldn't understand before.
Why did his mother abuse him so much when he was a child? Why didn't she protect her son like other mothers?
Although the queen was so insidious, her love for Xiao Jingrui was unquestionable. She had always loved her son with her life, so he had secretly envied her when he was a child. He also wanted a mother like her. As a young boy who was beaten all over his body, he could not understand why his dearest mother treated him like that.
"It turns out that mother is putting all her hatred for father on me..."
"It turns out that Chu Zhaoyu actually took out his hatred for his father's wife on me..."
"So that's why Father is determined to take action against me... And my seventh brother... It's also because of this..."
......
Looking at the old emperor and Concubine Rong, Xiao Hanye's eyes were more empty than ever before. He murmured to himself...
Here, Chu Nanyue had successfully taken the fetus out of Ouyang Yu's belly, but the baby's face was bruised and it didn't cry.
Chu Nanyue's forehead was covered with sweat, and it was unclear whether it was due to fatigue or nervousness.
She held the baby in one hand, tilted her head slightly downward, and patted her back skillfully. As a stream of amniotic fluid spurted out, the child let out a "wow" and began to cry loudly.
The midwife heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this: "The Princess of Yan's magic hands have brought the child back to health. She has indeed saved the child."
At this time, the imperial physician shouted: "Princess Yan, it's not good, Princess Yu seems to be dying..."
Chu Nanyue narrowed her eyes, and suddenly, she felt something like liquid dripping out from under her body, followed by a sharp pain in her abdomen, and her heart sank.
Oh no, she's about to give birth...
She told the imperial physician: "Use the suturing method to sew up Princess Yu's abdomen layer by layer...ah..."
After saying this, she fell down with a look of pain on her face.
Because she had a good relationship with the imperial doctors, they quickly asked the midwife to place her on another bed for delivery.
At this time, Lin Yueyao in the corner had been tortured to the limit by Ouyang Qing's pill. She actually swallowed the cloth stuffed in her mouth. She rushed towards Chu Nanyue with a pair of red eyes, pinched her neck and said: "It's all your fault, bitch... Why do you have to be so lucky to get pregnant with his child... Ah ah ah... I'm sorry... I actually killed someone..."
She mistook the pregnant Chu Nanyue for Ouyang Yu, and fell into endless pain under the influence of the pills. Her mind was filled with hatred and regret for Ouyang Yu. These two endless struggles almost tore her in two...
"Ahhh... I didn't mean to hurt you... You forced me to do it... Why would I kill someone for a man who doesn't love me at all..."
"Prince Yu... I love you so much... Why don't you even want to touch me... Why... It wasn't like this at the beginning... Why... You call me "A Yue" so lovingly... Why..."
Ouyang Qing gave her Fu Sheng Zui to take. She insidiously framed his sister. He wanted to torture her to death and let her sink endlessly in the painful abyss of not being able to get what she wanted and not being loved when she got it.
"Let go..." Chu Nanyue tried to pry her hands away, and she was pinched by him. She saw stars in her eyes, "Look carefully, I am not the King of Yu... Help..."
"Ah! Someone's been killed, Concubine Lin has killed someone... Someone come quickly..." The midwives shouted upon seeing this. How could they dare to interfere in the affairs between these powerful people?
Just when Chu Nanyue was about to faint from being strangled, she felt a wetness on her forehead, and then Lin Yueyao loosened her arms...
