Poor Family

On the second day of the Li family's exile, Chu Yao returned to Beijing.

As soon as Chu Yao entered the city gate with his front foot, Prince Rong, who had sent people to watch the city gate, found out about his back foot.

When Chu Yao returned to Beijing, the first thing he wanted to do was to enter the palace to face the Holy Emperor. However, as soon as he entered the imperial city, he was stopped by Prince Rongjun.

"Shi's disobedience to the elders, I have written a letter of divorce for you, and now I am waiting to report it to the emperor and the elders."

Without asking Chu Yao whether the journey was going well, and without understanding that Chu Yao would be tired and hard after traveling for so long, Prince Rong made a direct threat in his first words when he saw Chu Yao.

After hearing this, Chu Yao's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Prince Rong with a serious face: "Father, Shi is the wife of his son Ming Media. We were married by the late emperor. You have no right to make any decisions for your son."

Prince Rongjun saw that Chu Yao actually had no submissive attitude and was secretly worried. However, in order to force Chu Yao to save Chu Zhao, he could only shout angrily: "Really, do you believe that I will ask the elders to make the decision?"

Hearing that Prince Rong wanted to ask the royal family elders to come forward, Chu Yao's eyes suddenly burned with raging fire. If he had looked at Prince Rong with a hint of impatience before, now, his eyes showed hatred. .

Once the royal clan elder comes forward, Shiliu will be judged by all aspects of the royal clan. He knows Shiliu's temperament very well. How can she allow outsiders to judge her if she is as proud as she is? The trouble will definitely not end.

He is such a good father, but he is sincerely trying to destroy his family.

Chu Yao looked at Prince Rong without emotion. At this moment, he didn't even want to say the word 'father': "What did Shi do to make you want to divorce her?"

King Rongjun's heart was pricked by Chu Yao's cold eyes, but when he thought of Chu Zhao who was still locked up in the Prison Prison and could be beheaded and exiled at any time, he suppressed the panic in his heart and said forcefully:

"Zhao'er has been implicated because of the fourth prince's affairs. Go and talk to the emperor. As long as Zhao'er is fine, Shi can return to the palace."

Chu Yao suddenly raised his head and laughed, with water gleaming in his eyes. When he lowered his head and looked directly at Prince Rong, his eyes were calm: "In your eyes, you have always only had a son, Chu Zhao. Now you beg Benevolence is worthy of mercy.”

After saying that, Chu Yao led his entourage straight to the palace.

Seeing Chu Yao's retreating figure, Prince Rong breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

As long as Chu Yao is willing to plead for Zhao'er, as for what he just said.

"Ha~"

Prince Rongjun sneered. He understood what Chu Yao meant. Didn't he mean that he would no longer recognize him as his father after this time? It was really whimsical.

His blood is flowing on his body, and no one can change this. No matter whether Chu Yao wants to or not, he can never escape.

Qianqing Palace

After Chu Yao reported what happened in Jiangnan, he tentatively asked the new emperor: "Your Majesty, how will Chu Zhao be punished?"

The new emperor looked at Chu Yao: "What, you want to plead for him?"

Chu Yao was silent for a moment, and then Prince Rong stopped him and said something.

The new emperor looked at him: "What do you think?"

Chu Yao: "I don't care what happens to Chu Zhao, but my father will definitely be reckless for him. The only thing I care about is that my wife cannot be affected."

The new emperor looked at Chu Yao: "You know how much Chu Zhao has done for the fourth child. I don't blame the palace for the crimes he committed because of your face. Now you have to plead for him, but You have to use your credit in exchange for it.”

Chu Yao bowed his head and saluted: "I am willing."

Seeing him giving up his future so simply, the new emperor was a little surprised by his feelings for the cheap master, and was silent for a moment: "Okay, since you have spoken, Chu Zhao's death penalty can be spared, so he will be sentenced to exile. Let’s go to Lingnan.”

Chu Yao felt relieved: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor: "After such a long journey, go back and rest quickly."

Seeing Chu Yao leaving briskly, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said to Gao Changshou beside him: "This is good, lest I don't know how to reward Chu Yao."

Chu Yao is both the commander of the Supervision Department and the elder of the Reincarnation Hall. Judging from how Uncle Yu is doing, Chu Yao will be asked to take over the reins of the Reincarnation Hall in the future. If he is given too much power, who knows if he will produce the next regent. Come.

You must know that Prince Rong's branch and theirs are both direct descendants of the Xingzong, and inheriting the throne is much more legitimate than the regent during the emperor's grandfather's time.

After Chu Yao left the palace, he did not go back to Prince Rong's Mansion directly. He just asked his subordinates to go back and inform Prince Rong about "Chu Zhao's exile in Lingnan". Then he went straight to Wuchang Bo's Mansion, preparing to take Shi Fuxin back to the palace with him.

Shi's family was extremely happy for Chu Yao's return. Shi Fuxin saw that Chu Yao could not hide the fatigue in his brows and eyes, so she took him back to the yard where she lived.

After Chu Yao took a bath and changed into clean clothes, Shi Fuxin asked him to lie on the chaise longue and held a silver needle to soothe his body.

"Is this going well?"

"Well, father, don't worry about it. I've already taken care of it. You can follow me back home later."

"Do you know everything?"

"Well, on my way into the palace, my father stopped me."

"Have you agreed to your father's request? Begged for Chu Zhao's favor?"

"Well, Chu Zhao has done a lot for the fourth prince. According to the emperor's wishes, he was to be executed, but now his sentence has been changed to exile in Lingnan."

Shi Fuxin's expression paused, but she didn't say much about it. After all, this was a matter between Chu Yao and Rong Jun Wang and his son. She had better not get involved as much as possible. She just asked, "The emperor is so easy to talk to." ?You agreed as soon as you asked?"

".In exchange for the power of the dragon."

Shi Fuxin paused while applying the acupuncture: "Your Majesty is really good at business, but you have suffered a big loss."

Chu Yao pulled Shi Fuxin's hand and held it: "It is better to suffer some losses now than to be jealous of the emperor in the future."

Shi Fuxin stopped talking and applied the needle silently: "Go to sleep for a while, I will call you later."

Chu Yao woke up after sleeping for an hour. Today was his first day back from going out. If he stayed at Shi's house and didn't return to the palace, I don't know what rumors would spread tomorrow.

After days of running around, his tense and exhausted body became lighter. Chu Yao turned around and hugged Shi Fuxin, burying his head in her neck: "It's so nice to have you here."

Shi Fuxin smiled and patted the back of his hand: "Okay, let's go out and say goodbye to the elders."

After saying goodbye to his elders, Chu Yao took Shi Fuxin back to Prince Rong's Mansion.

According to Chu Yao's opinion, he was absolutely benevolent and righteous by exchanging the power of Conglong for Chu Zhao's chance to survive. But what he didn't expect was that Prince Rong would be so aggressive.

Looking at the closed door of the palace, the anger in Chu Yao's heart rose slowly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Go and knock on the door!"

The entourage held the door open for a while before the palace steward lowered his head and opened the door. He led a group of palace servants to block the door, as if they would not let Chu Yao and Shi Fuxin in.

Chu Yao's eyes flashed with danger: "What do you mean?"

The palace steward lowered his head as low as possible and glanced at Shi Fuxin quickly: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Third Lady will not be allowed to enter the palace unless the Second Master comes back safely."

Chu Yao was furious: "Chu Zhao has been lightly sentenced by the emperor and exiled to Lingnan. Doesn't your father know about this?"

"Is being exiled to Lingnan a light sentence?"

King Rongjun suddenly walked out and looked at Chu Yao with dissatisfaction: "I asked you to save your second brother. How did you save him? Are you trying to save him when he is exiled to Lingnan? You are clearly doing harm to him. he!"

"I don't care, Zhao'er must return home safely, otherwise..." Prince Rong looked at Shi Fuxin and shook the divorce note he had been holding in his hand.

Chu Yao looked at Prince Rong with an expressionless face, and his heart that was extremely angry suddenly calmed down strangely: "What do you mean by returning home safely?"

Prince Rong: "Of course he is acquitted."

Perhaps the sarcasm in Chu Yao's eyes was too much, or perhaps Prince Rong realized that his request was too much. Prince Rong changed his mind and said, "Even if Zhao'er has to be punished, he shouldn't be exiled. What kind of place is Lingnan?" , how can your second brother, who is as noble as gold and jade, endure such suffering?"

Chu Yao looked at the palace and saw that the old prince and the old princess had never sent anyone to come forward. He looked around at the passers-by who heard the noise and looked here in the distance. He seemed to have made some kind of determination and turned to look at Shi Fuxin: "You go back first. Live in Wuchang Bo Mansion for a while."

Shi Fuxin felt Chu Yao's emotional changes and held his hand tightly: "No matter what you do, I will be with you."

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Yao's lips, and he held Shi Fuxin's hand tightly: "I know, let's go, I'll take you back."

Seeing Chu Yao and Shi Fuxin leaving in despair, Prince Rong felt a little proud, feeling that he had Chu Yao under control.

After Chu Yao sent Shi Fuxin to Wuchang Bo's Mansion, he did not enter the door. After Shi Fuxin entered the door, he turned around and mounted his horse and went straight to Prince Yu's Mansion.

"What did you say? You want to adopt the lineage of Prince Li?!"

King Yu looked at Chu Yao kneeling in front of him with a shocked face.

Chu Yao looked at King Yu: "Prince Li's lineage has no chance to take the throne. This is an unknown rule set during the Taizu period."

"Although the Emperor has not yet expressed his position on the Palace of Samsara, he has to be on guard against the Palace of Samsara's responsibility to supervise the royal clan."

"I want to be adopted by Prince Li and take over the position of the palace master in the future. The emperor can also feel at ease; and I can also completely get rid of Prince Rong's palace."

King Yu looked at Chu Yao with a complex expression: "Is it worth doing this for a woman?"

Chu Yao shook his head: "Not only for the Shi family, but most importantly for myself." As he spoke, strong hatred burst out of his eyes.

"Don't the people in Prince Rong's Palace just think that I can never get rid of them, so they persecute me without any scruples? When I was a child, I was powerless against their oppression. Now that I am capable, why should I continue to endure it?"

Chu Yao looked at King Yu: "Palace Master, I suddenly realized that I can resist them now. No one can be my master anymore, even if they are my parents and relatives!"

Looking at Chu Yao with a firm expression, King Yu sighed: "Prince Li's lineage died out during the Renzong period, you might as well adopt him."

Then, he confirmed again, "Have you really thought about it?"

Chu Yao nodded affirmatively: "Think about it!"

King Yu looked at Chu Yao: "Okay, you can follow me into the palace to meet the saint!"
