Absolute protagonist
51 The World is a Chess Game 2 (1/2)
The night deepened.
In Zhao Prison, a very faint moonlight shone in through the small window above the cell, and the hazy light was reflected on the face of the young man sleeping in the corner.
He leaned against the wall of the cell, his eyes slightly closed, his face as pale as snow, and looked very harmless.
A figure appeared like a ghost, and the bright dagger flashed in the moonlight, reflecting the sharp cold light on the young man's face. He suddenly opened his eyes.
"It seems that Qu Yingfei is unreliable." Looking at the dagger that appeared in front of him, Chu Si had no intention of dodging, but just sighed softly, "Just agreed to it, and then sent someone to silence me?"
... Such an eager reaction is not like his style. It seems that there are indeed other people involved behind the incident, and they are even closely related.
While thinking, the shining light in Chu Si's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he even had a smile on his lips.
This strange calmness also startled the visitor. Looking at this calm face under the moonlight, he suddenly felt an unspeakable regret.
He was indeed the famous young master of Yulou in Yongjing. It was a pity that he was born in a bad time and fell into the dust...
Wiping out all the emotions in his heart, the man finally asked: "Does Mr. Chu have any last words?"
... If it is not a difficult matter, just do it for him.
"Last words..."
The young man's eyes were deep, and a strange smile emerged. In the vigilant eyes of the visitor, he casually turned his body to reveal the stone wall behind him.
On the stone wall, the lines of handwriting written in blood were particularly eye-catching. This is a long poem with fierce words and self-proving innocence. Every word is awe-inspiring. The whole poem is of high style, like a vast ocean.
The visitor laughed dumbly, secretly laughing at the other party's naivety.
——It is not uncommon to leave a letter in prison. This young master Chu seems to have done the same thing as every person who was wronged and humiliated in the past. It will not make the emperor wake up at all. However, after he dies, maybe this will become an anecdote known to all, and will be passed down for generations.
...Wait, known to all, and passed down for generations?
The smile on his lips suddenly froze, and his eyes were fixed on the wall.
There is a mystery hidden in this poem!
Yuan, Qing, Tai, Zi, died, Yu...
The poem that originally seemed to be full of talent was immediately broken down into individual words one by one in his eyes. Although the message hidden in it was very secret, it was particularly conspicuous to someone like him who knew the inside story.
As a famous talent, it is conceivable that after the other party dies, this last poem will be repeatedly studied by many literati... and the secret hidden by the person behind him will be revealed to the world!
...Destroy the body? No, no, no, the other party absolutely cannot have left only such a clue. Maybe the jailer had already taken his last words out.
Yue Xiong was filled with emotions, and his thoughts were fluctuating. He turned his gaze to Chu Si again. He stared at the young man who looked harmless.
Now, killing people to silence them has become a last resort. No one knows what other party has in store. Maybe they have already arranged everything... They even have to protect this young master of Yulou. It is best to rescue him directly from Zhaoyu, so as to prevent the other party from leaking everything after his death.
"Did you see it clearly?" After showing his "last words", Chu Si leaned back against the wall again, waving his sleeves. There was a sense of carelessness in his tone. He seemed to have no feeling for the impending death.
"I understand what Mr. Chu meant."
The cold dagger was slowly retracted. The man looked at the figure that was becoming more and more like a fairy in the moonlight, but a chill rose in his heart unconsciously. He clenched his teeth.
"...I will pass it on word for word later."
Chu Si's lips slightly raised, his eyes as dark as black jade were clear and transparent: "That's good."
...It seems that he will be able to go out soon. As for who is the person behind the scenes who is related to Qu Yingfei? The answer will naturally be delivered to him.
The current emperor's governance level is average, but the harem is diligent. There are at least a dozen princes under his name, but the only ones who really came to the eyes of the important officials of the previous dynasty are the crown prince born by the queen and the fourth prince born by Concubine Li. Of course, there is also the deceased Prince Yuanqing, who is also the eldest son of the emperor and the elder brother of the current prince.
Prince Yuanqing was precocious, wise and decisive since childhood. He was the best candidate for succession, but he suddenly caught a cold and died three years ago. The current prince is the third child, gentle and cowardly, indecisive. If he were not a legitimate son, the emperor would not look down on him at all.
In comparison, the fourth prince, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, is more favored by the emperor and often rewards him. Therefore, the Huarong Palace where he lived was the most luxurious among all the princes.
Huarong Palace.
Before Princess Xinhua entered the palace, she heard a woman's giggling, but there was a sense of artificial stiffness and fear in the laughter. She tried to calm herself down and comforted herself before walking forward.
The decoration in the palace was extremely luxurious. Carved beams and painted buildings, pearls hanging high in the dome, and a drop of whale oil worth thousands of gold burning in the gorgeous palace lanterns. I don't know what special spices were put in the incense burner, making the whole palace in a misty white mist. It was like a fairyland on earth.
The fourth prince was leaning on a soft couch, his scarlet outer robe was loose, revealing his equally loose inner garment and delicate collarbone. Although he and Princess Xinhua were twins, they did not look alike. The former was beautiful and graceful, while the latter had a face as handsome as a demon.
At this time, he was leaning on the couch with a lazy look on his face, his eyes were slanting, his eyes were moving, and there was a seductive smile on his lips. He looked really indescribably moving. Two beautiful maids served diligently on the left and right, and fed the peeled grapes into his mouth with their slender fingers.
Such a romantic posture did not make Princess Xinhua relax. She stepped forward and called carefully: "Royal brother."
"Hmm?" The fourth prince responded lazily, and his fingers gently stroked the face of a maid, making her cheeks blush, "What do you want to find me for?"
His tone was very cold, and there was boredom in the coldness.
Princess Xinhua's heart was at ease. To be honest, facing this famous moody psychopath in history, even if she was his biological sister, she was always careful and tense.
"Royal brother, I, I want to borrow another person from you..."
"Borrow someone?" The fourth prince paused his hand on the maid's face, and suddenly let go of it, kicked the maid aside, glanced at Princess Xinhua from a high position, and uttered two words, "No!"
"I was looking forward to you bringing me a dramatic, grand and wonderful performance."
His handsome face like a demon could not be seen clearly in the white mist in the hall, and he spoke slowly and leisurely.
"As a result, you, a fool, ruined the plan and attacked the prime minister, but staged a one-sided plot without suspense, which was really boring!"
"No, royal brother..."
Princess Xinhua wanted to say something else. A sound of breaking air sounded in her ears, and a black shadow flew towards her head. She subconsciously tilted her head slightly, and her cheek was stinging.
"Pah!"
The crisp sound of porcelain breaking sounded behind her, and Princess Xinhua covered her face with her hand. At this time, the left half of her face was red and swollen due to the intense friction just now.
"Get out!" The frivolous voice of the fourth prince came from the top, "If you don't get out, I'll kill you."
...
Leaving the fourth prince's palace in disgrace, Princess Xinhua couldn't help but tear off a jade pendant from her body and smashed it to pieces.
With her status, if others threatened her, she would not worry. But if it was the fourth prince, the future tyrant who was always moody, she really couldn't guarantee whether the other party would do what he said.
"Psychopath!" She cursed in her mouth, and Princess Xinhua's already red and swollen face became more terrifying because of the distortion, "If it weren't for me..."
Looking at the palace servants and eunuchs following her from a distance, she swallowed the unfinished words into her stomach.
You have to know that Prime Minister Chu has always been cautious and it is not so easy to overthrow him. When the tyrant Fourth Prince comes to power in the future, there is no way to deal with Prime Minister Chu within the rules.
When he takes up the butcher knife, the Chu family has already seen the situation and secretly arranged a way out. Even if there were chaos in the Great Yong Dynasty afterwards, they were not affected too much, and even returned to the court after the tyrant died. Chu Yuzhi, a world-famous talent, was fortunate to become the teacher of the young emperor...
If she hadn't had the sporadic historical information that she had looked up in her previous life and taken action in advance with the advantage of foresight, how could the Fourth Prince have easily eliminated a major obstacle in the future?
She thought she had helped the Fourth Prince a lot, but now she was ruthlessly driven out by the other party. For a while, she was embarrassed and angry, and mixed with fear that she didn't even notice.
Without the help of the Fourth Prince, how could she make Chu Yuzhi compromise? Is she really going to give up?
Thinking of this, Princess Xinhua was unwilling.
In the various TV series remade in later generations, the imperial teacher Chu Yuzhi has always been a popular character. The story of his childhood sweethearts and loving each other for a long time with his cousin Lu Yingying has satisfied the fantasies of many people. She was also crazy about this couple.
But when she came to this era and saw the bright and bright Yulou Gongzi, she suddenly became crazy jealous of Lu Yingying, whom she had never met.
As a princess of the royal family, the biggest possibility for her future is to marry a man in the frontier and live a lonely life. And this woman who is inferior to herself in every way will be held in the palm of Yulou Gongzi's hand and protected for a lifetime... This is too unfair! She wants to replace Lu Yingying and become the heroine of this love fairy tale.
To this end, she borrowed the poems that Chu Yuzhi would publish in the future, created the image of a talented woman to meet each other, and even deliberately borrowed Lu Yingying's gentle and generous temperament... Everything was fine originally, and Chu Yuzhi initially regarded her as a confidant in poetry and prose... Why did the other party's attitude change so much afterwards?
Everything happened after Lu Yingying went to Beijing. This woman must be doing something bad in secret! As expected, she is not as kind-hearted as she appears to be. How can such a hypocritical woman be qualified to be with Chu Yuzhi? ... Everything I did was right!
"Princess, Princess..." Cuirong, the personal maid who had always been following Princess Xinhua, noticed that the princess's expression was not right, and thought that she was worried about the wound on her face, so she hurriedly and carefully called her twice, "Are you okay? I will call the imperial physician..."
Princess Xinhua came back to her senses from her memories, and her thoughts became more determined. For Chu Yuzhi, she had already paid so much, how could she be willing to let go like this?
Before she could think about what to do, the next day, a piece of news reached the harem, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky exploding in Princess Xinhua's ears!
——The emperor personally issued an order to release Chu Yuzhi.
"What? Who spoke in front of the emperor?"
Princess Xinhua asked angrily, while someone outside the prison asked the same question.
"I don't know which minister in the court spoke to help me, can you tell me?"
The pale young man who was escorted out of the prison by the jailers suddenly stopped and looked back. He smiled, as fresh and refreshing as a pine and cypress covered with snow.
"Mr. Chu, you don't have to be polite. There is nothing unspeakable about this matter. It was the Marquis of Xuancheng who spoke for you."
It wasn't the Marquis of Quyang... So, the Marquis of Quyang might not know about it. That thing was done by Qu Yingfei alone.
As for the Marquis of Xuancheng? As the current uncle of the emperor, there are very few people who can order him to come forward.
...Is the person behind the scenes the prince?
