"Are you fully prepared? Why did you suddenly rebel? I thought you could wait longer." Cheng Xi knew that Xu Ye's rebellion would definitely succeed, so he did not dissuade him, but just asked a few questions.
Because the previous emperors continued to build various large-scale buildings, the national treasury was in short supply. In order to make up for the gap, the government had to levy heavy taxes year after year. The people were miserable and displaced, and the society became more turbulent. However, the current emperor Xu Changrong knows how to eat, drink, have fun, and indulge in Although she is beautiful, she never cares about national affairs.
The current situation requires a new monarch, even if it is not Xu Ye, there will still be Zhang Ye, Chen Ye, and Li Ye. A change of dynasty is inevitable, and Xu Ye's rebellion is the best opportunity for all this to happen.
"Well, I just think the time is right." As for why he suddenly revolted, Xu Ye did not answer.
A few days ago, he was in the royal study room reviewing and approving memorials on behalf of the emperor, when he suddenly heard the old man say: "Third brother, what do you think about sending the eldest princess to get married?"
Hearing this, Xu Ye's hand that was writing paused, and the ink blurred and stained the paper, "I think it's inappropriate, and being with relatives is not the best way to communicate between countries."
"The eldest princess is arrogant and domineering, and she is not yet married. She is the best choice for marriage." The emperor didn't care what Xu Ye said. He had been dissatisfied with Cheng Xi for a long time, and he just wanted to find a reason to send her out this time.
Xu Ye's jaw was so tense that he even wanted to insert the brush in his hand into the old emperor's throat so that he would not continue to say those unpleasant words. Xixi was obviously so good, but it was not in his mouth at all. Arrogant and domineering look!
He also wanted to send her for a marriage ceremony. Xu Ye thought extremely that as long as he was still breathing, Cheng Xi would not be sent for a marriage ceremony!
Xu Ye suddenly crossed the line and held Cheng Xi's hand. This was one of the few close contacts between the two. She only felt that the young man's palm was very hot, with enthusiasm for the country, and some vague indescribable emotions. Feelings.
"It must be safe." Speaking of safety, Cheng Xi suddenly stood up and opened the dressing box, which contained a peace charm she had asked for before. She turned around and handed the peace charm to the young master, and said again: "Xu Ye, you You must come back safely."
Xu Ye held the red peace talisman in his hand. He thought that with Cheng Xi's words, he would never die. Even if he died, he would have to crawl back from the King of Hell to see her.
That day was the last time the two met. Xu Ye became busier and busier. He rarely even returned to his residence. He was busy recruiting troops and gathering influence. Cheng Xi used most of the property in the warehouse to help him, even jewelry. A lot.
It was getting darker and darker in the palace, everyone's faces were tense, and a storm was brewing.
Cheng Xi was leisurely and contented. After she beat Biluo dozens of times and sent her back to Yikun Palace, the queen was so angry that she turned green. Of course she knew that Cheng Xi was slapping her in the face openly, but she chose to take the blame first. , so I could only hold my neck and swallow this breath.
From then on, all the concubines and maids in the palace knew that the eldest princess was a ruthless person, so even if they just saw her coming from a distance, they all trembled and didn't even dare to speak out, for fear of offending her. Her words made her unhappy and she lost her life.
Cheng Xi knew what they were afraid of, so in order not to frighten those people, she simply stopped going out of the palace.
After letting An Wu tell a story to her last time, Cheng Xi was surprised to find that this kid was a good storyteller, so she simply arranged for him to tell her a story. Isn't this a proper ancient version of a radio drama? .
An Wu has a good memory and can tell a complete story basically just by reading it once, so he tells Cheng Xi different stories every day, from the love story of a poor scholar and a fox to the story of the governor and the brothel. The love affair of the young waiter focuses on the fact that every day is never the same.
Chang Yue's injury also improved a lot. In order to repay Cheng Xi's kindness, he immediately ran back and forth to serve her as soon as he could walk. He refused to rest for a whole day. Cheng Xi saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he gave up. .
With An Wu beside her telling stories, Chang Yue massaging her and washing fruits, and many other secret guards practicing calligraphy and playing chess with her, Cheng Xi was extremely happy every day.
She just had to arrange the medicine for the palace maid to drink with Xu Ye every day. Looking at the dark and steaming stuff in the bowl, Cheng Xi felt conflicted mentally and physically. She pinched her nose, opened her mouth wide, and poured it into her throat. No matter, it was hard to swallow, but you can still taste the bitter taste when you close your mouth.
"It's so bitter..." Cheng Xi frowned. The bitter taste left on her tongue made her unable to help but spit it out. Changyue quickly picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it into the girl's mouth.
"The third prince said that this medicine is good for the princess's body. I have tested it and it is not poisonous. The princess can drink it with peace of mind. Good medicine is bitter. If you drink it bitterly, it means that the medicine is effective and is a good thing." Changyue Zai Beside Cheng Xi, he spoke earnestly while embroidering.
Cheng Xi hummed a few times, and when the bitter taste completely passed, he temporarily forgot about it.
Xu Ye on the other side did not have such a smooth life.
He had long contacted the power of his mother-in-law's family and won over officials from several places. With financial support, he quickly recruited a large-scale army in the north. These days, he arrived quietly just for training. these soldiers.
Chen Si held his waist and stood panting. He had been very busy these days. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He reached out and grabbed Xu Ye and said fiercely: "When you come to the throne, if you don't give me a general title, I won’t give up!”
Xu Ye lazily raised his eyelids and looked at him with a half-smile. Chen Si was shocked and immediately let go of the hand that was still holding his clothes.
"You are so boring," although Chen Si was a little frightened, he still continued to complain without fear of death, "I don't know which girl will like you. If my aunt were still alive, you would definitely not be like this."
When Chen Si said this, he couldn't continue, and his thoughts drifted away. He lowered his head and let out a long sigh.
Xu Ye's late mother-in-law was actually Bai Lan's biological aunt. Ever since the news of his aunt's death came, his father had been looking forward to bringing back the only flesh and blood left by his sister, but the fatuous old emperor refused to let go. , this matter can only be delayed again and again.
Later, Xu Ye took the initiative to contact them. His father was surprised and happy. Zaosan told him to do his best to help Xu Ye.
"Don't worry, I will help you." Chen Si looked at Xu Ye's eyes and knew his worries, so he comforted him.
"It's enough to rebel once. If we fail, we may have to be separated from each other." Xu Ye suddenly felt sad and said jokingly.
"Yin and Yang are separated? Why don't we two brothers be companions on the road to hell?" Chen Si raised his eyebrows and said seriously.
Chen Si put his arm around Xu Ye's shoulders, and both of them laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
The light of the fireworks shone on their faces, the firewood made a crackling sound, and the soldiers' drill commands came from the distance. This was one of the few smiles that belonged to them since the conspiracy.
The "defeat" that night was just a joke among friends. No one took it to heart, but Xu Ye and Chen Si never expected that it would turn out to be a prophecy.
The uprising launched by Xu Ye failed.
The defeat was so sudden that the capital was not even captured, and it ended hastily. No one knew.
The news of the defeat of the uprising spread quickly. The emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of the third prince and his rebel party. All ministers in the court who were related to Xu Ye were imprisoned. For a while, people in the capital were panicked, fearing that they would be infected with the fishy smell. .
When Cheng Xi learned the news, she thought Chang Yue was telling her a joke. The girl turned a page of the book in her hand disapprovingly and said calmly: "How is it possible? I heard this nonsense again. How could the third prince rebel?"
Cheng Xi even pretended to know nothing about Xu Ye's rebellion. She always kept her identity in mind and didn't let any news out.
"Really," Chang Yue became anxious when she saw that she didn't believe it, but after hurriedly gesticulating for a long time, she couldn't find a more convincing way, "Princess, I didn't lie to you. The third prince really lost. Your Majesty." We have ordered his arrest, how can this be false!"
Cheng Xi still didn't react at all. She still didn't believe Chang Yue's words at all. How could the villain be defeated? No matter what happened in the plot, it should be successful.
[Sister, the villain is really defeated,] Xiao Xueqiu, who has a God's perspective, screamed while hurriedly flipping through the plot book, [I don't know what link went wrong, obviously this part was not in the plot before, Is there another bug in the plane? ]
