Rebirth: Remarrying the Emperor's Uncle

Chapter 283 You Shouldn't Marry Zhaoping (Part )
On the ground in the center of the meeting hall, there is a black lacquer painted gold cage, the black paint is mottled, and gold painted birds and animals, with intricate and exquisite patterns.

Zhao Chen was dressed in a dark black cloak, his face was as pale as paper, his phoenix eyes were bloodshot, but his aura remained undiminished, standing majestically.

The alcohol in Han Jun's eyes faded a lot, and he walked into the hall and said coldly, "I didn't go to ask the prince for an explanation, but the prince came here by himself."

Zhao Chen's eyes were heavy, he looked at Zhao Chengyuan and said, "Uncle Seventh Emperor and Zhaoping are engaged, and I'm here to congratulate you."

His breath was vain when he spoke, and his middle breath was obviously insufficient, and he tried his best to maintain a stable voice.

Zhao Chengyuan said softly, "The prince's internal injuries seem to be worse than yesterday. Although the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are average, they will not make your condition worse. Congratulations, don't rush for a while. The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the king and Zhaoping On the day of great joy, the prince should recover from his injuries first, so that he can accompany me to pick up the bride when the time comes."

"Twelfth lunar month twenty-eight."

Zhao Chen repeated it slowly, "The wedding date has been set, so it's time for the orphan to come here, there must be etiquette."

Zhao Chengyuan stared at the old cage on the ground, his face sinking like water, "Prince Congratulations, why are you using a black lacquered cage?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I don't recognize this caged uncle, but Duke Ding should recognize it, right?"

Han Jun didn't pay much attention to the cage at first, but when he looked carefully at this moment, his face darkened.

"Things from Southern Chu."

"Dingguo Gong has good eyesight and good memory. This cage comes from the royal family of Southern Chu. Southern Chu advocates black, and the black is painted with gold, which is noble and auspicious. Among them, the phoenix is ​​the most favorite. The Phoenix is ​​the totem of the Southern Chu Kingdom and their patron saint."

Zhao Chen raised his hand to signal, Wei Xiao opened the cage, and inside was a jade phoenix circling and flying, with a noble and proud posture, gorgeous feathers, and great beauty.

"After Duke Dingguo destroyed Southern Chu, he brought back countless treasures from the royal family. Among them was this jade phoenix. I don't know if Duke Dingguo still remembers it. It was originally placed in the emperor's grandmother's bedroom. She took a fancy to it at the first sight, and the imperial grandmother gave it to Gu. Now that Zhaoping is married, it is the most suitable gift for her."

Han Jun had faint veins on his forehead, and said in a cold voice, "I remember that the Empress Dowager said at the time that this phoenix was to be reserved for the empress, and Dingguo's mansion can't afford it. If your highness is fine, please go back."

While speaking, he made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

Zhao Chen smiled, "Don't worry, I haven't listened to the emperor's uncle yet. Is this congratulatory gift, the emperor's uncle is satisfied?"

Zhao Chengyuan's expression was cold, he bent down to cover the cage, and said calmly, "Lord Yuezhang is right, this is a phoenix, and it is not appropriate for the Dingguo Palace to accept it. The crown prince's body may not be able to hold on anymore. , let’s go back home.”

Zhao Chen stared at him with gloomy eyes for a long time, his eyes filled with frost that could not melt away, "Duke Ding please stay away for a while, I have something to say to Uncle Seventh Emperor."

After Han Jun and the guards withdrew, Zhao Chengyuan gave Ye Chang and Luo Ping an indifferent look, and they also retreated, inviting everyone outside the hall to leave and guarding from afar.

Only Zhao Chengyuan and Zhao Chen were left in the outer study.

Zhao Chengyuan found a chair and sat down, "If the prince has anything to say, just say it."

Zhao Chen sat next to him, a short distance away from him, and his eyes were serious, "Uncle Huang has always had a plan in his mind, and he has made all kinds of preparations before he does everything. The infatuation of entering the Duke of Zhen's mansion with a sword Drama, Uncle Huang has deceived others before, but he can't deceive Gu. From the moment you drew your sword, what you thought was to drive yourself to a dead end, to force Duke Guo and Zhaoping to agree to this marriage, right?"

Zhao Chengyuan said in a low voice, "The moment this king drew his sword, he was thinking that nothing would happen to Zhaoping. People can count people's hearts when they are alive, and they can count people in the world. After all, there must be true feelings."

Zhao Chen sneered, "Even if Uncle Huang has true feelings, how much is it? One point or ten? Is it because Uncle Huang wants to marry Zhaoping because he has a big heart, or is there some other purpose?"

Zhao Chengyuan said indifferently, "The prince has never thought about it. Is it because I like Zhaoping?"

Zhao Chen sneered, "Uncle Huang can hide the truth from Duke Ding, but he can't hide it from Gu. One of you pretends you don't know anything, and the other pretends nothing happened, and you want to make this marriage happen. Uncle Huang thinks that if one day the truth Dabai, Zhaoping can bear it?"

Zhao Chengyuan remained expressionless, "I don't understand what the prince said."

Zhao Chen sneered, "Uncle Huang is still not frank enough. You didn't kill Gu, and you identified Yu Gu to your father, wasn't it because you were afraid that Gu would be forced into a desperate situation and tell your secret? Why was the assassination planned in Dingguo?" After the Duke entered the city, the real intention was only understood by you, the emperor, but you directed the attention of the father to other places, and even blamed Yongping Hou. Guard this tacit understanding alone, guarding for you This is a secret. But Seventh Emperor Uncle, you shouldn't marry Zhaoping."

Zhao Chengyuan poured a cup of cold tea, and said in a low voice, "Since you know it's a tacit agreement, then keep it. It's not up to the prince, a junior, to say whether I should marry Zhaoping or not."

Zhao Chen laughed wildly, blood oozes from the corner of his mouth, winding down to his clothes.

"It's not Gu's turn? Yes! Gu is not qualified! In the whole world, Gu is the least qualified to talk about Zhaoping's marriage! But what Gu can do for Zhaoping, the uncle may not be able to do!"

His gaze was like a falcon, staring at Zhao Chengyuan fiercely, "In the whole world, the person who is most unqualified to marry Zhaoping is you, Seventh Emperor! Why did you refuse the marriage offer from your father at the beginning, and why are you willing to marry now? The emperor's heart A person who is as cold as ice for thousands of years, calm to the point of being cold-blooded, not to the point of life and death, how can you have no grievances? We have only known each other for four months, Zhaoping can really make you let go of everything and have no grievances?"

Zhao Chengyuan drank the herbal tea slowly, and looked at the almost crazy Zhao Chen with Shen Mou, "We only met each other in April, where did the prince come from with such a passionate relationship?"

Zhao Chen leaned heavily on the chair, wiped the blood gushing from his mouth with a handkerchief, clinging to the secret that belonged to him and Zhaoping, "Uncle Huang will never know the relationship between Gu and Zhaoping. Gu will not allow it." If Zhaoping suffers even a little bit of harm, it doesn't matter who that person is, even if it is the father."

He held the blood-soaked veil in his hand, and his words were as heavy as a hammer, "If the uncle insists on doing his own thing, even if he fights for the position of the crown prince and his life, he will die with you."

Zhao Chengyuan's face turned cold, his phoenix eyes were as dark as an abyss, "When did the prince and Zhaoping meet?"

Zhao Chen's face was extremely pale, and he tried his best to support the chair with both hands, maintaining his strength, "You don't need to ask, Uncle Huang. Zhaoping won't tell, and Gu naturally won't say either."

Zhao Chengyuan looked at him, "Prince like this, it seems that we have known each other for many years. Before Zhaoping was fifteen years old, he had been in Xiangping Mansion, but the Crown Prince has lived in the capital for a long time in recent years and was busy with official business, so he didn't have the opportunity to go to Xiangping Mansion."
