“Is His Majesty well?” Lu Hehao’s green shirt and bamboo crown, gathered his sleeves, and walked into the Xuanming Palace’s bedchamber unhurriedly.
He’s only a commoner, so he’s not qualified to speak to Emperor Duanhua in such a casual tone, and he can’t even look directly at the Emperor at all yet he acts as if he’s still the King of Liang, and after arching his hand when he enters the hall, he looks Emperor Duanhua up and down, and laughs, ”Looking at Your Majesty’s complexion, you should be getting over it. I think you’ve recovered? That’s right, His Majesty is young, and the occasional anger attack is not a big deal after all.”
“Why?” Emperor Duanhua hadn’t actually fully recovered, he put on an overcoat and leaned against the head of the couch, his complex expression mixed with deep confusion, “Why do you want to harm me like this?”
Lu He Hao sniffed slightly related, revealing the color of hatred, sighed, “I just in the Jia Mu Palace, received the news that you want to summon me, guess that’s what happened I really do not understand, the late emperor so wise, how will you such a son, selected as the Crown Prince? ”
He spread his hands and said indifferently, ”Naturally, it is for the purpose of scheming for the throne! All of us are the son of the former emperor, you are just taking advantage of the convenience of the first born, but there is no talent that is sufficient to convince the public, we do younger brother, to put it nicely, is not tolerate to look at the beautiful mountains of Da Rui, in your hands to lose; hard to hear a little bit, is unwilling to bow down in front of you in the future, this is not a very normal thing? At this point, you actually still do not understand?”
Emperor Duanhua laughed miserably, “But even if you have calculated me to such a point now, will you be able to ascend the throne? It’s just a graft for the Crown Prince or King Su!”
He tiredly closed his eyes, “If I am on the throne, you did not do those things that make me cold, how can I treat you poorly? In addition to this seat, power and beauty, status and honor, gold beads and jade … what you want, I will not give you? I only have you a halfbrother!!!”
“If I succeed in ascending the throne, I can also give my elder brother such treatment.” Lu Hehao smiled, “How about that? Would elder brother be willing to go and tell the entire court that you do not intend to pass on the throne to the crown prince and intend to pass it on to me?”
“…” Duanhua Emperor opened his eyes and looked at him, half a long time before he disheveled, “The Empress is right, now the wood has become a boat, no matter for what reason you betrayed me, looking for you to ask you face to face to understand is no longer meaningful! ”
He paused, but was still reluctant, “But I still want to ask you: king Qing … this thing, is your own idea, or, those people behind you, give you the idea?!”
Seeing that Lu Hehao just laughed and didn’t seem to intend to answer, Emperor Duanhua became furious, “Answer me! Don’t forget that even though I can’t keep this seat anymore, your life is still in my hands now I am now infamous, what do you think I have to be afraid of?!”
“This matter, was started by Jian Li Kuang.” Xu is to see that the end of the emperor is not intimidating him, Lu He Hao will ponder, in the end, let a step, light voice, “but his earlier advice, is to let the warm consort and Jane Xubai happen something, so good to hold Jane Xubai, see the opportunity, but also can borrow your hand, give Jane Xubai a hard after all, you also know, due to the Jin imperial aunt’s pulling the side frame, Jane Li Kuang these two years is really not good, not to mention that between him and Jane Li Miao, there is also the murder of the mother’s vengeance!”
“But after I heard it, I felt that … the one who has a grudge against Jane Void White is Jane Li Kuang, and not me, so what do I have to do?”
“So change that plan around.”
“Rather fortunate to have changed.”
“Otherwise, that time at the beginning of the year, Jane Yiyu went crazy and almost spoiled my big event!”
He smiled slightly as he said this, “Of course, it’s only right to thank Your Majesty for the aftermath of this!”
Emperor Duanhua was so angry with him that he simply didn’t know what to say, and in turn calmed down, “Since you know that King Qing is not your blood, why did you pretend to be terrified and hesitant when you dropped your blood to recognize your kin on the Qingxi Palace in the first place?”
At that time, Lu Hehao’s explanation was that he was afraid of pain at that time, he was in the eyes of Emperor Duanhua and the Empress Dowager, he was still just a simple and ignorant prince, and the result of the blood drops also proved his innocence, so the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Duanhua were speechless for a while, but did not pursue the matter in depth.
But how could Emperor Duanhua believe that again now?
The city and ruthlessness that this cyborg brother has shown during this period of time, is he not someone who is afraid of the pain of skin and flesh?
“Although I thought that when the time and place and people were ready, the truth of King Qing’s life would never be seen in advance, but things are unpredictable.” Lu He Hao said slowly, “To be precise, I was very jealous of the Empressthat would be Royal Grandmother and you didn’t have any suspicions about me, but the Empress was different, in order to prevent the Empress from being so shrewd as to kill off one of my biggest cards, I naturally had to give her some hope. ”
He smiled and said, “The Empress was not on the Qingxi Palace at the time, but with His Majesty’s trust in the Empress at the time, when he went to the Weiyang Palace, he was bound to talk to the Empress about what happened! So that the Empress heard your description, she was bound to be skeptical of me, thinking that I was King Qing’s biological father, only to use some means to confuse the results of the blood drop identification!”
“Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Your Majesty, for this as well!”
“After all, that time when the blood was dripping, you took the initiative not to verify that the water and the basin had not been tampered with in order to show your trust in your Royal Grandmother!”
“In that basin of water back then, me, Cousin Xu, and King Qing, each other’s blood didn’t mix.”
“Who knows if I did something to make whatever blood was dripping in that tub of water not blend?”
“Having suspected me in this way, the Empress will naturally not only not be unfavorable to Mrs. Nuan’s mother and son, but on the contrary, she will also make sure that they are well and alive, with a view to dropping blood with me when she has the chance and sending me into the abyss of ten thousand abysses!”
The smile at the corner of Lu Hehao’s mouth deepened, “However, the Empress fell for it in the end because it wasn’t even me who touched Nuan Tai Fei in the first place, but, Your Majesty, you!”
Emperor Duanhua couldn’t stop shivering and was lost in thought for a moment before he said, “At first, A Xu told me that the old court judge who revealed to me that the King of Qing was not the son of the late Emperor was a person from Jian Ping Yu! But this morning the Empress told me that the reason why you were able to break into the Mingren Palace at night and make such a big mess was … because of the inside and outside cooperation between Old Lady Duanmu and the Dowager Empress?!”
“I thought before that Hollow had lied to me in the first place!”
“He knew early on that Elder Lady Duanmu was the one behind you, but in order to cover for Elder Lady Duanmu, he dragged Jian Pingyu out to be the scapegoat!”
“But now that I think about it …”
“What Hollow said is true behind you, it was originally Jian Pingyu!”
“But after Jian Li Kuang gave you that idea of trapping A Xu in injustice, you … you took that opportunity to pull in Old Lady Duanmu, didn’t you!”
If Jian Li Kuang’s ploy succeeded, Jian Xu Bai’s life and death would be within his grasp!
So Duanmu old lady and Jane Li Miao, not only revenge on the second house of no hope, even because of the sake of jealousy, even with them to kneel in front of the second house, at the mercy of the slaughter!
One could imagine how Old Lady Duanmu would be enraged when she heard about this!
The natural result of shock and anger is retaliation!
“The reason why Jian Yiyu instructed that old court judge to reveal the matter of King Qing’s bloodline to me was because he thought that King Qing’s biological father was Ah Xu!”
“It’s evident that although the person you’re really counting on is me, you’ve concealed this matter from Jane Ping Yu’s side and told them that you’ve done it in accordance with Jane Li Kuang’s advice!”
“Just how did you manage to make such a thing with your skills and having to hide it from Jane Ping Yu?”
“I think it’s only Old Lady Duanmu the late emperor told me before he was born that I must guard against this old lady!”
A touch of bitterness flashed across Emperor Duanhua’s face, “In the end, I still haven’t properly remembered the late emperor’s teachings! I only thought that Old Lady Duanmu was on her way out, a widowed old lady, what’s there to guard against?”
“Although Your Majesty had a bit of hindsight, it was a good guess.” Lu He Hao lightly laughed and said, “However, your remorse is still not right! For Old Lady Duanmu, you really did not need to be too defensive, after all, you and Jian Xubai can be said to have a deep friendship before, is not it? The reason why Mrs. Duanmu will help me to count you, in fact, just out of her old man has seen too many people’s hearts change, subconsciously to the Yan Marquis House to leave a backhand just!”
“As long as you keep favoring Jane Void White, King Qing’s birth, that will always remain a secret Old Lady Duanmu will absolutely silence all those who know about it, including me, before she dies!”
“Leave only those who are absolutely loyal to her to preserve this secret and continue to guard the Yan Marquis!”
He sighed, “But Your Majesty, you didn’t even wait for Old Lady Duanmu’s big deadline to arrive before you turned your back on the Marquis of Yan, and coupled with Old Lady Duanmu’s hatred of the late Emperor for reneging on his word, it truly is a mixture of old and new grudges, so how could she possibly spare you and the late Emperor?!”
“The late emperor was also your biological father!!!” Emperor Duanhua roared as he couldn’t stand it anymore, “It’s just that you’re plotting against me and counting on me! Why do you even disregard the late emperor’s posthumous name? When the late Emperor was alive, he certainly had the deepest hopes for me, but how could he ever be harsh on you!”
Lu He Hao before has been smiling, heard this, the expression is steeply cold down, half a long time, only seem to smile, not laugh, “I do hope that the late emperor to me harsh, this at least proves that he is the expectation of my son I always thought that the late emperor is only to your majesty you strict requirements, to us I always thought that when I was young, the late emperor was only strict with you, and pampered us as his younger brothers, and never asked for much in the way of schoolwork because the late emperor was so busy with government that he couldn’t instruct us like he instructed you, and regretted that he made up for it by pampering us!”
Emperor Duanhua was stunned, “Isn’t it? Could it be that the late Emperor could still be unfavorable to you?!”
“Later I gradually grow up, only to understand, that is because you are too waste!” Lu Hehao snorted out, “The late emperor was afraid that after you ascended the throne, can’t suppress these younger brothers of ours, resulting in the royal family chaos, so it’s no good for these few of us, each slacking off on their homework, to be a rich and noble king of the leisure on the good!”
His tone was icy cold, “Otherwise, the late emperor himself did not have any useful brothers, and the heirs under your knees are not considered plentiful the Lu Clan looks like it has not yet run out of gas, but it is withering on the inside! The late emperor was always wise, wouldn’t he not want his brothers to work together to continue the prosperity of the world?”
“You don’t believe me?”
“Look at our brothers: the King of Shu is young, so let’s leave it at that for now.”
“King Su has the backing of his mother as well as the Su family, which is why he was able to pass on his reputation for intelligence since he was a child!”
“And I, with King Xiang, have always been in obscurity!”
“Do you really think that King Xiang and I can’t compare to youI’ll be honest, you’re really just a middleaged man!”
“Judging from the situation you’ve landed in today, to say you’re a middleman would be an exaggeration!”
“How could I, with King Xiang, be any less than you?!”
“Is the reason for the lack of reputation not that we don’t have it?!”
“And yet it’s all because when we excel a little, we are explicitly and implicitly admonished not to take the limelight from you, the Crown Prince!”
“It’s usually a biological son, so why should we have to consider you in everything we do?”
“You cannot be outdone, you cannot be offended, you cannot be alienated, you cannot …”
“Since I was a child, I have heard so many of these admonitions … so many that, since years ago, I have spent my days thinking, when will I do something without paying attention to these kinds of words?”
“For the sake of bloodline, I’ll tell you one more thing: it wasn’t even Jian Pingyu who took the initiative to approach me in the first place!”
Lu Hehao looked at Emperor Duanhua’s deathly white face and softly said, “Rather, I took the initiative to find Jian Pingyu!”
“Didn’t … you want to usurp the throne?” Emperor Duanhua was lost in thought after a long time, “You … you now, don’t want to live?”
