Chapter 36

===

Regarding the case of Jinnian, Liu Wenchao knew that Liu Fang would not be able to find out anything. He just gave Jinnian an idea to let her tell the truth on the birthday of Concubine Lan Gui. Liu Wenchao did not expect it.

The court meeting began. Emperor Huiming sat on the throne with a tired face, as if he hadn't slept all night. His voice was a little hoarse: "Liu Aiqing, what did you find out about the Jinnian case?"

Liu Fang stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, I checked the matter thoroughly last night, and compared the empress's handwriting, it is undoubtedly the empress's handwriting. Since the empress lived in seclusion in the palace, she has served you as usual. So, there is nothing abnormal, and there is no close contact, only one day, she went out of the palace to buy glutinous rice cakes for the empress, I have also asked other court ladies, it is true."

Emperor Huiming sighed softly, and asked again: "Then, was the kidnapping of the woman into the palace the order of the crown prince, or Jinhua's own doing?"

Liu Fang: "I interrogated all the eunuchs who are close to the prince, and they all said that they obeyed the prince's wishes." His voice was the same as his own, with a round accent and a sound like a bell, which was transmitted to all the ministers word by word. In the ears, people from the princeling faction all sighed, sighing because the prince would never turn over again, and sighing because they were in the wrong team.

While the remaining faction of the Chu royal party looked serious on the surface, but they were already happy in their hearts, thinking that they would definitely find some people to celebrate after the court was over.

Emperor Huiming was over half a hundred years old. Looking at his strong body, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that his temples have already grown gorgeous hair, and his eyes are vicissitudes and cloudy. Sitting on the throne, he looks lonely and lonely. have no choice.

He is still the one sitting on the throne now, but his ministers are all thinking about supporting the next emperor. He is not dead yet, and he does not allow anyone to escape his control.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a decisive decision in his eyes. He said: "Since ancient times, it has been the tradition of every dynasty to set up a heir but not a concubine, and to set up an elder but not a young. I believe Li Changshuo At that time, it was just a moment of confusion that made such mistakes. Think about it, would a person who can tell how to control the flood at the age of 15 be a mediocre person? As the crown prince, all my loves, what do you think?"

There was an unquestionable meaning in his words. The princelings were surprised by the sudden victory and were speechless. Only Chen Xueliang remained rational and spoke first: "The old minister thinks what the emperor said is very true." The rest Only the princelings followed suit as if awakened from a dream.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Chu royal party who have already won the victory. I thought that in the future, I could be tough in front of the princelings, and I could speak proudly, without being inferior, but what Emperor Huiming said was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. They were burnt inside and black outside, but after all, it was the emperor's words, so they could only grit their teeth and go along with it.

After the dynasty was over, the rest of the Chu Royal Party confided a few words to Liu Wenchao, and then they all left. Tang Weizhen walked side by side with Liu Wenchao as usual, and said, "Qingchuan, don't be discouraged, let's see how I can make Li Changshuo be crushed in Wuzhishan again." Down, you can't get over the mountain again."

Liu Wenchao smiled and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't ask," Tang Weizhen also said with a smile, "Just wait patiently for a few more days."

When Liu Wenchao returned to Nanyuan, Li Chengyun had already disappeared. He smiled wryly, yes, Li Chengyun didn't need to stay here to waste time.His whole body was sore and weak, and he was about to go back to his room and sleep again, when he just opened the door, a hoarse voice sounded: "Qingchuan, I miss you...Qingchuan, I miss you... ..”

Liu Wenchao: "..."

"You taught the parrot how to talk again." Liu Wenchao said, "I thought you were gone."

"Where can I go?" Li Chengyun said: "It took me all morning to teach this stupid parrot how to talk. This parrot is so stupid. It doesn't have the slightest bit of my cleverness. When you teach me to read, it saves effort. Bar."

"Bullshit," Liu Wenchao fed the parrot with food, and the parrot yelled a few more words, Liu Wenchao continued: "I was so angry with you at the time, I thought to myself, if my children are as mischievous as you are, I will definitely Beat him hard with a whip."

Li Chengyun bent down and picked up Liu Wenchao and went to the bed. He put Liu Wenchao flat, and then pressed the whole body on it, and said viciously: "You will never have a child of your own in this life. You can only talk to me. You have lost your dignity to me, and no one wants you anymore." The more he spoke, the softer he became, the more confident he became.

Liu Wenchao made a false alarm. He thought that Li Chengyun was going to torment him because of his animal nature. After hearing what he said, he let go of the tension in his heart, and said with a smile, "I'm a man, why do I lose my virginity?"

"I don't care, you are mine, you can only be with me again," he kissed Liu Wenchao's face: "As for the others, don't even think about it."

"How did I find out that you are so unreasonable." Liu Wenchao put his hand on Li Chengyun's back.

"It's not too late for you to find out now, maybe if someone touches you in the future, I'll cut off the place where he touched you." Li Chengyun said while pressing your waist for Liu Wenchao, how cruel the words he said, How gentle the movements of the hands are.

Liu Wenchao chuckled, thinking that what Li Chengyun said was a joke, but the strength of his massage was just right, making people extremely comfortable and relaxed.

"Your massage skills are good. I didn't expect the majestic king of Chu to do such flattering work." As soon as he finished his teasing words, he was pinched by Li Chengyun, who happened to pinch his itchy flesh, and Liu Wenchao laughed uncontrollably stand up.

"Let's see if you still dare to make fun of your man." Li Chengyun turned Liu Wenchao over, and while admiring his beautiful back line, he rubbed his lower back for him: "I specially hired a masseuse when I returned to Changping this time. I learned a few tricks just to serve you."

"Thank you, the service is good, I am very satisfied with the teacher."

Li Chengyun snorted and said, "Your back is sore because I have been doing it for too long. It is right to serve you."

Liu Wenchao: "..."

Hearing about Changping, Liu Wenchao became interested. A month ago, he didn't ask why Li Chengyun returned to Changping. He said that he was to suppress the bandits. The clever Liu Wenchao didn't believe such a lame reason.

"You can tell me now, what did you go back to Changping for?"

Li Chengyun said in one sentence: "Now is not the time. I will tell you when it is necessary. By the way, are you hungry? I have someone make you your favorite Dongpo pork."

Seeing him, Liu Wenchao looked around and said to him, and said in a deep voice, "Li Chengyun, do you want to usurp the throne?"

"You think too much," Li Chengyun was afraid that Liu Wenchao would continue to ask, and couldn't bear to make him sad, so he said again: "Should someone bring it in to eat, or go to the dining room to eat."

Liu Wenchao frowned, no matter how unhappy he was, he could only bear it temporarily. He had no reason to ask Li Chengyun to tell him everything in detail. People always have their own secrets, and he, Liu Wenchao, was no exception. Yukou's secret, he looked at Li Chengyun and said, "It's best if I think too much, don't worry, I will definitely help you to sit on the crown prince, don't do such things that are not right and wrong."

Liu Wenchao sighed, and said: "Let's go to the dining room to eat, it's not good to bring the food to the room."

It was just time for lunch, and the servants had already arranged the meals. As soon as Liu Wenchao sat down, he felt that the dining table seemed to have changed, which was quite distinctive, until Li Chengyun said: "Sir, I didn't expect that the dining tables in your garden are so fashionable. , I have never seen this style of table in China."

Liu Wenchao asked people to move the food away, and carefully looked at the table in front of him. No matter whether it was up to the palace or down to the homes of ordinary people in Huaguo, the tables used for eating were only wooden tables, and there was no such thing as the stone-faced heart inlaid in front of him. round table.

He was also a little curious about where the round table was set up, so he asked Ji Rufeng to call the housekeeper Chen Shaoqing over.

Chen Shaoqing is also from Lingzhou, and he was Liu Wenchao's childhood playmate. When he was young, he, Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen did a lot of stealing. Once, the three of them went to steal plums from other people's house, and Liu Wenchao ended up on the tree. He was caught straight, and one of them was a tall man with a knife, who was about to cut off Liu Wenchao's hand on the spot. Chen Shaoqing was the oldest, the eldest of the two of them, and had the most impulsive personality. Tang Weizhen took advantage of the chaos and rescued Liu Wenchao when the tall man smashed towards him. Finally, the three of them ran for dozens of miles before they escaped from the tall man's pursuit.

At that time, among the three of them, Chen Shaoqing's family was the most prosperous. He didn't like reading since he was a child, so he could only watch Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen step by step in high school, and he opened a foreign gadget shop in his hometown in Lingzhou. They all love to see new things, and they all like these strange things that have never been seen before. The business has been very hot, and even the bandits on the mountain have heard of it.

Bandits have always been unreasonable, and they will do everything possible to get what they like. On a windy and rainy night, the bandits went down the mountain in twos and threes to Chen Shaoqing's shop, intending to loot his shop.

Due to lightning, thunder, and violent storms outside, Chen Shaoqing planned to wait for the rain to subside before going back, but he did not expect that what he waited for was a turning point that changed his life and destiny.

The bandits broke into the door and saw that there were still people in the shop. The viciousness in their bones was revealed. They didn't distinguish between young workers and white workers. When they went up, they beat Chen Shaoqing violently until they thought Chen Shaoqing was dead, so they threw him aside like garbage, and then He snatched up everything in the shop with lightning speed, patted his ass and left without leaving him a feather blanket.

On the second day, just before dawn, the shopkeeper next door saw that the door of the shop was open, and the tables and chairs inside were scattered in disorder, as if they had been robbed by someone. Chen Shaoqing, who was dying on the ground, hurriedly called other people to help carry Chen Shaoqing to the hospital.

After Chen Shaoqing woke up, she realized that her life was saved temporarily, but her leg was broken.

Many years later, Liu Wenchao returned to his hometown to work, and after hearing about this incident, he brought him to his side.
