Chapter 244 The Victory Has Been Determined
The moment he saw Xiang Qingyuan, Emperor Chu Hui froze there. Looking at the old and blind Xiang Qingyuan, Emperor Chu Hui seemed to be completely unacceptable, as if he was sleepwalking, naked Feet, he stumbled out of bed and approached Xiang Qingyuan step by step.
"Prince...Brother...how did you...become like this?" He looked shocked, as if he had returned to the time when he was still the child who grew up under the protection of the prince.
His hand subconsciously wanted to reach out, but was interrupted by Xiang Qingyuan's words:
"That's all because of you, Xiao Twelve." Xiang Qingyuan's old voice sounded, with a little anger.
"Brother...I..." Emperor Chu Hui was at a loss for a moment and stammered about what to say, but in the end nothing came out.
Whatever happened back then, whether it was a frame-up or a rebellion, someone helped Emperor Hui of Chu do it. Even until the second before Xiang Qingyuan was taken away by the late emperor, he acted as an obedient person in front of Xiang Qingyuan. good brother.
After wearing the mask for a long time, I thought that was just the way I was.
Therefore, he had never faced Xiang Qingyuan's tragic situation head-on. Even in the years when he first ascended the throne, he was still comforting himself that it was the late emperor who forced his prince brother to death and it had nothing to do with him.
Xiang Qingyuan opened his eyes and stared at Xiang Qingyuan with white eyes: "Xiang Yingjing, I have been curious over the years. I have never been sorry to you, and I even saved your life. Why are you doing this to me?" solitary."
Xiang Qingyuan's dull eyes looked in the direction of Emperor Chu Hui, his brows furrowed slightly, and his white eyes stared at him with a little terror.
Emperor Chu Hui froze, as if he was frightened, or as if his acting had been exposed.
The expressions on his face were all kinds of complicated. In the end, the distressed and helpless look on his face slowly disappeared. On the wrinkled face, all the emotions were replaced by indifference, and the superior man's momentum gradually increased.
"Brother..." His voice was a little low, with pity in his eyes. He glanced sideways at Xiao Yinchu: "I didn't know that you are so naive until now."
Emperor Chu Hui's tone was flat, but such a flat tone irritated Xiang Qingyuan. He raised his head and stared at the direction where Emperor Chu Hui's voice came from. The anger in his eyes was undisguised: "What did you say?" !”
"I said," Emperor Chu Hui looked at Xiang Qingyuan with pity in his tone, "You have become what you are now, and you are still so naive."
Emperor Chu Hui sneered, not caring about Xiang Qingyuan's face that turned red with anger: "There is only one throne, why do you think it must be yours? Because you are the eldest, the legitimate son, or because you Do you have the love of your father?"
The sharp ridicule in his tone became thicker and thicker: "Why? You were noble when you were born, a legitimate son, rich in clothes and food, and supported by thousands of people. But I was born humble, bullied by eunuchs, and competing for food with wild dogs. That old pious woman, Concubine De, wishes she could starve to death."
His face looked a little crazy. Xiao Yinchu's long sword was unsheathed a few inches. If Emperor Chu Hui made any move, he could draw the sword at any time.
Emperor Hui of Chu Xu also understood that when Xiao Yinchu and others appeared here, his rule and his dynasty were already a thing of the past.This knowledge made him unscrupulous, and he laughed at Xiang Qingyuan's incompetence: "You still don't know, Xiang Qingyuan, when I met you, I bribed the little eunuch around you, and I knew that you would definitely kill him that day. Passing there, I deliberately aroused your pity."
He slapped the table with his hand, and the look on his face was obviously crazy: "How ridiculous you are, Xiang Qingyuan, how ridiculous you are, just a little bit, just a little bit of gold, the people around you can sell your moving line Give it to others, even if you don't go there, someone will lure you there! Gold, just a little bit, the scraps of gold that Concubine De doesn't want can send her to the west. Brother Prince, tell me, is it funny or not."
He didn't wait for anyone to come back, then he laughed to himself: "You think I am a pitiful little person, but in fact I am a white-eyed wolf who plots against you. You think you are my father's favorite, but in fact, after discovering the witchcraft He was the first to suspect you when he was practicing martial arts; you think your son can bring you the glory you once had at your fingertips, but in reality?"
He glanced sideways at Xiao Yinchu: "You once had the best trump card, but you lost everything." He mocked and made the final conclusion to Xiang Qingyuan: "You are just a naive wretch. You are not suitable. This political game.”
Xiang Qingyuan's face turned red after being scolded by Emperor Chu Hui. He pointed at it, but he didn't point to the right spot.But those trembling hands had revealed his inner fear.
The blindness of his eyes made him feel uneasy about his own existence, and now the solid foundation he had always believed in was exposed by Emperor Chu Hui. Xiang Qingyuan couldn't accept it for a while, and he let out a loud cry in his throat. sound.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yinchu swung his long sword and knocked Emperor Chu Hui unconscious.
"Father." He took two steps forward and supported Xiang Qingyuan, "Are you okay?"
Xiang Qingyuan shook his head. The always tense expression on his face relaxed at this moment, and his always sharp eyes softened at this moment.
"Father..." Xiao Yinchu noticed this change and called him hesitantly.
Xiang Qingyuan patted Xiao Yinchu's hand: "Kun'er," his expression looked particularly peaceful, as if he had thought about it, "What he said was like a revelation to my father. .”
Xiang Qingyuan said melancholy: "Once, my father thought that he just trusted the wrong person, was unlucky, and met an ambitious bastard, so he wanted that position very much, because he just felt that that was the position of being alone. , no one is alone sitting there. Now it seems that my father has been praised and killed!"
Xiang Qingyuan smiled bitterly: "My birth is a grand celebration. From childhood to adulthood, I have the most complete teacher. I can learn anything I want, and even have everything I want. My father Emperor, your Grandfather Emperor pampers me very much. As long as I want, I can get it. But what I get in exchange for pampering is an infinitely expanded heart and complacency. I begin to feel that your Grandfather Emperor is old and confused, and I am the only one. decision is the right one.
Your grandpa is not only a father, but also an emperor. My arrogance made him feel threatened. The wife is the root cause of the witchcraft disaster. The father does not know the son, and the son does not know the father.You want too much, you want to give too little... Jingkun," Xiang Qingyuan held Xiao Yinchu's hand tightly, "Father, father wants to retire in Zhuangzi at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. That is your emperor. The first Zhuangzi that grandpa gave to Gu, you, can you give it back to Gu again? "
Xiao Yinchu held Xiang Qingyuan's hand with his backhand, and said affectionately and sincerely: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely give it to you."
The two father and son held hands and looked at each other. For a moment, the air was full of warmth.
