Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

The eunuchs and palace maids followed silently in the imperial garden.

The emperor in front was talking happily with Prince Kang. Xu Jin looked at the absent-minded Prince Duan with some inquiry. If this lord really didn't fight, it would be a bit bad for him...

Chu Shiyu quietly responded with a calm look. Xu Jin felt slightly relieved, but in a moment, he became worried again!

The group strolled leisurely, and the scenery of Huaqing Pond gradually came into view. The emperor and Prince Kang saw it first. The graceful woman on the wooden plank road beside the pond pulled the concubine's hand off her face and shouted "... shake hands and make peace..."

The emperor was not in a hurry and just glanced at Chu Shiyu.

But Chu Shiyu had his eyes fixed and his steps hurried, walking past the emperor without caring about seniority!

Then, when the imperial concubine fell backwards, Liu followed closely and jumped down! Chu Shiyu immediately rushed away, as if everything except Liu was irrelevant...

This is an act of usurpation! In more serious cases, it can be considered as deceiving the emperor!

But Xu Jin had followed the emperor for nearly twenty years, and he could see the disappointment in the aging Ruifeng's eyes!

Prince Duan is so confused! Xu Jin couldn't help but feel anxious. He was with the emperor every day, so he could naturally sense that in his majesty's mind, Prince Duan was the only choice for the crown prince!

Following the still slow but increasingly powerful footsteps, Chu Shikun pursed his lips and said softly: "Father, I seem to have been poisoned by aphrodisiacs at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but considering that it was Consort Xian who arranged the banquet... In order to avoid damaging the reputation of the royal family, I did not make it public."

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly. Most of Concubine Xian's actions were under his control. He knew that she had put drugs in Chu Shikun and Liu's meals. After confirming that the drugs would not harm Chu Shikun's health, he acquiesced...

Although he did not think that this crude plan could successfully alienate Kun and Yu, he did not expect that the eldest sister would get involved, and that Liu would be able to break the situation on her own again.

Chu Shikun spoke out at this time to protect Chu Shiyu, saying that Concubine Xian had ulterior motives and was framing Liu.

The emperor pretended not to know and frowned, saying, "I will investigate in detail. If it was done by Consort Xian, I will give you an explanation."

"Thank you, father." Seeing that the emperor's anger had subsided a little, Chu Shikun said no more.

The two swam to shore.

Everyone on the shore couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Liu's clothes were wet and stuck to her body, showing her beautiful figure. Her charming face was like a lotus emerging from the water, which made people feel even more pity...

On the other hand, the exquisite makeup on Concubine Xian's face, whom she had dragged ashore, became a mess in the water, which was particularly tragic in comparison with Liu...

But almost no one paid attention to Concubine Xian. Everyone, regardless of gender, followed Liu's movements with their eyes, their minds in a trance.

All I can say is that it's a good thing that the only healthy men here are the Chu family's father and son, and the father and brother are both men of strong will. Otherwise, if Liu Rusi's appearance was seen by any man, it would actually be suspected of losing her chastity.

Chu Shikun avoided Liu's gaze, took off his outer robe, and lightly touched the back of Chu Shiyu, who had a sign all over his body saying "Keep Away".

Chu Shiyu turned around and saw the dry and gorgeous robe. He was slightly surprised for a moment, then nodded in thanks and took the clothes handed to him by his brother.

The emperor had a puzzled look on his face, and he saw everything… If we only look at the present, it seems to be a blessing that the two talented brothers have a harmonious relationship.

But the human heart is unpredictable! Chu Shikun can work hand in hand with Chu Shiyu now, what if he sits on the throne in the future? Can he still tolerate Chu Shiyu who can threaten him? Maybe he can tolerate him for one or two years, but can he do it for ten or even decades without any suspicion and vigilance?

Can Chu Shiyu really be content to assist his brother who is inferior to him? One day, the love between the man and the woman fades, Chu Shiyu's ambition returns, and Chu Shikun can't suppress him at all. I'm afraid that by then, Daxia will fall apart due to internal strife!

Concubine Xian woke up and blamed Liu in a pretentious manner. Chu Shikun, who was standing beside her, showed an expected look.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, thinking about how to make a choice... Chu Shiyu's ambition is no longer there, and Chu Shikun's importance has risen, but he does not want to give up Chu Shiyu easily... He still has to balance the relationship between these sons, and then try to make Chu Shiyu change his mind.

However, Chu Shiyu only heard a few words of Liu's crying, and his face was filled with anxiety! He picked up Liu, threw away the words of no concern, and turned around to leave!

"Chu Shiyu! Do I allow you to leave?!"

The emperor was furious!

Chu Shikun, who originally wanted to help turn the situation around, immediately fell silent!

The emperor's anger was directed at Chu Shiyu, but Concubine Xian was more afraid than happy about her success. Would the emperor be furious because of her? I guess not...

The eunuchs and palace maids around him knelt on the ground! Xu Jin couldn't help but tremble! The emperor always remained calm in the face of adversity, and he had never seen the emperor show anger in front of others!

The imperial guards on duty in various positions came out one after another! They surrounded Prince Duan! They drew their swords halfway, waiting for the emperor's order!

Liu Rusi was horrified and hurriedly pulled Chu Shiyu's sleeve and advised: "Don't be impulsive!"

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen." Chu Shiyu comforted softly.

Without moving, he turned his head to look at the emperor and said calmly: "Father, I have not yet fully revealed my surprise."

The emperor frowned slightly, looking suspicious.

Chu Shiyu held Liu Rusi tightly with one hand, and with his free hand, he took out a white jade tablet and raised it into the air.

The guards surrounding him paused, looked at each other, and their mighty momentum slowed down a little. Several of them bowed to the emperor and then ran away.

"This is not a tiger talisman, nor is it..."

The emperor narrowed his wrinkled eyes and asked with a smile, "You infiltrated the Imperial Guards?"

"The Imperial Guards' duty is to protect the royal family. They know that I only prepared a surprise and it will not harm your father, so they just cooperated." Chu Shiyu answered calmly.

Chu Shikun's face was solemn. He understood that this was just a humble word to save face for the emperor... So the third brother could already do such a thing...

And Liu Rusi in Chu Shiyu's arms looked even uglier! Chu Shiyu just played his trump card! Will he end up in such an irreversible situation?

"Ah…"

The emperor sneered, but he was mixed with joy and anger. Chu Shiyu was able to infiltrate the Imperial Guards without him realizing it. As long as he planned well, it would not be impossible for him to directly replace him and sit on the throne...

This shows how talented Chu Shiyu is! He is the best choice to lead the Great Xia Dynasty! But now, because of Liu, he has revealed everything! He is not hesitating to let the secret operation go to waste!

A team of guards came in one after another, breaking the eerie silence.

There were eighteen guards among them, using extremely thick wooden sticks, struggling to lift a heavy object covered with red cloth. Under the outline of the red cloth, one could see a human-shaped object, but if it was a human, it shouldn't be so heavy.

The heavy object was lifted several feet away from the emperor and lowered, with the base touching the ground with a "bang", making its heaviness even more apparent!

Chu Shiyu raised his chin slightly, and the commander of the Imperial Guard bowed to the emperor, then walked to the heavy object and lifted the red cloth...
