The Survival Path of a Vicious Female Partner

Father Fu Yuan came to the East Palace, "His Royal Highness, the Holy Master declares you to go to Longyin Temple."

Chu Ran put down the memorial in his hand and said, "My father announced that I will go to the Longyin Palace, what's the matter?"

"The slave doesn't know it, and it's just acting on orders."

"I see."

"I beg your prince to hurry up, the sage seems to be anxious."

Chu Ran came to the Longyin Temple, under the Dragon Tent, the saint was holding the concubine lotus, and the two met with wine. He said in a tired voice, "Ran'er, just now Ai Fei mentioned something to me, and I suddenly remembered. My son has already reached the age of getting married, but in my heart, is there a suitable candidate?"

Concubine Lian Jiao said: "Holy, the concubine thinks that Prime Minister Lu’s daughter Lu Manman is good. Prime Minister Lu has always been loyal and loyal. A few days ago, the Holy Master gave the marriage to King Chu Huai and the second lady of the Lu family. King Chu Huai has a marriage, and she must be uncomfortable in her heart. Although Prime Minister Lu doesn't say it on the surface, it is inevitable that he will have an idea in his heart. The concubine thinks it is very good to grant Lu Manman to His Royal Highness."

Listening to Chu Ran, he naturally understood that she did it just because she wanted him to turn against the Chu Qing brothers. Marrying Lu Manman is something he has been thinking about, but he dared not do it.

The saint said: "Ai Concubine, but Miss Lu has been named Princess Yongan by me. She is Ran'er's younger sister."

"Holy, those are brothers and sisters who have no blood relatives. Lian'er thinks it's okay."

He looked at Chu Ran, "What do you think?"

"Emperor father, the sons and ministers rely solely on the emperor father."

She said softly: "Holy, when Lian'er was in the hunting grounds, she had already seen that His Royal Highness was not ruthless and unjust to Miss Lu. Lian'er felt that lovers would eventually be married, and Lian'er could join the holy Being together is Lian'er's greatest honor, and Lian'er also wants His Royal Highness to be with Miss Lu, so that it will be more perfect."

Although the saint said that he loved Concubine Lian, he was not yet obedient to her. Chu Qing told him very clearly that he would not marry Lu Manman in his life. If he forcibly marry Lu Manman and Chu Ran, it must be Chu Qing and Chu Ran. Brothers must turn against each other, this is what he doesn't want to see.

At this moment, Father Fu Yuan came to report, "Holy, the fifth princes ask to see you."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard...The Empress Empress has been frustrated since she returned from the hunting grounds. The five princes came in a hurry, presumably because of the queen's affairs."

"not see."

"Yes."

After Fuyuan informed Chu Ye, Chu Ye said loudly: "Father, if you don't go to see the mother and concubine, Ye'er will kneel down."

Chu Ran said: "Father, why don't you go and see the queen?"

The sage looked at Concubine Lian, and then said: "Lian'er, you go back to the palace first, and I will see you later."

"Yes, Lord."

After Concubine Lian retired, he said, "Why do I want to see that cruel woman? I want her to see. Without my favor, she is nothing in this deep palace. Don't think what she has done. Because I don’t know, I used to open one eye and close one eye because of my past feelings, but I don’t want her to be getting more and more aggressive and daring to murder the prince. She is a family of Shang family, she deserves to be exhausted. NS."

"Father, my son wants to ask the godfather for something."

The sage looked at Chu Ran, and there was no mother in this world who hurt her child so much. Chu Ran sent someone to stare at Fengqi Palace because she felt that she was not the queen's biological child.

That's right, if something like this happened, if he wasn't the queen's child, he would still have some thoughts in his heart.

"Yeah, I know what you are going to say. You send someone to stare at Fengqi Palace, but you don’t believe why a mother is so cruel. I have the same doubts as you, why a wife is so cruel. Cruel. Although she married me and became my queen, she still pretended to be the Shang family. You and Ye'er are her children, but because of your inconvenience, she wants to harm you and wants to support Ye. Ye'er is in the top position. Ye'er is innocent by nature, and he is not suitable for the throne. If he becomes a saint, then he will definitely be emptied by the Shang family. Then he will be a puppet, and the real power is the Shang family. I absolutely don’t allow it. The rivers and mountains of West Chu fell into the hands of the Shang family."

"Father..."

He stepped down from the top of the dragon bed and walked to his side, like a father.

"Ran'er, you are the prince I chose. From now on, the rivers and mountains of Xichu will be yours. Qing'er was expelled from the capital city since childhood and suffered all the wrongs. He is now the King of Qingtian and can guard the peace of Xichu. I know your love for Lu Manman, but I cannot fulfill you and her. Qing'er has already expressed to me the relationship between him and Lu Manman, and you need his support."

"Father, my son understands."

"Of course, my sons are thin, and only you can reassure me. I hope that after you succeed to the throne, you will be kinder to them. After Huai'er became ill, his temperament changed drastically, and he didn't compete for fame and fortune like before. I have talked with Qing'er, he is a person who wants beauty but not the world. Although Li'er is a bit more competitive in his bones, he is not bad in nature. It is my fault for him to become what he is now. Ye'er is naive. Innocent, you are his most respected eldest brother."

The saint said so, but wanted to prevent Chu Ran from killing all the other princes after he was in power. After all, the kings of the past have been like this. Once they are in power, they will kill all those who threaten them, even their own brothers.

Chu Ran said: "Father, you are in good health, and you can continue to give pointers to the country for more than ten years."

He waved his hand, "Of course, I am tired. I think about it carefully. I am not a good husband. The harem concubine fears me more than admires me. My favorite woman guards me against me, and I think I stay with her. The comfortable woman around me resents me and does not want to forgive me. I am not a good father. Although I am a saint, I cannot protect my children. If it weren’t for Lu Manman to hide Yu’er this time, I’m afraid I would be caught in a dilemma again. There has been no major disaster in Western Chu in these years. Although there were wars in the frontiers, they did not allow the war to extend to the country. I still barely count as a qualified king. I hope that you will be diligent, thoughtful, and insightful in the future. To be a good king can also be a good husband and a good father."

"Father."

The Supreme Master took out the prepared imperial decree and covered it with a jade seal, "Oh, now, I will pass on the throne to you. At the same time, there is a secret decree."

The two imperial edicts were handed over to Chu Ran at the same time, and he continued: "Ran, now open the secret edict. I want you to read it in front of me, and then promise in front of me that you will be able to complete the contents of the secret edict. ."

Chu Ran opened the secret edict. He looked at the content on it. His expression changed from incredible to solemn. After reading it, he asked: "Father, is there no other way?"

"Of course, I also want to see if he will do that in the end."

"But... this is too risky."

"Of course, don't say anything, get out!"

"Erchen retire." Chu Ran left the Longyin Palace. At this time, his mood was not joyful, but heavy. Those two imperial edicts were not suitable for anyone to see except him for the time being, so they were also placed on the secret surface of the Longyin Palace.

Thinking of other things in his heart, he was pushed by the court lady in the wheelchair. After he recovered, he felt that everything in front of him was strange. And the maid who was pushing the wheelchair just now was gone.

This is a place in the harem. Since the harem is very large and his legs and feet have been disabled since he was a child, he is not familiar with these places.

Chu Ran turned the wheelchair, "Is anyone?"

No one answered him, but a touch of green clothes flashed past him. He had seen this green suit, and Lu Manman had worn it before.

"Manman." He chased after him, but the woman stopped in a courtyard.

"Manman, why are you here?"

The woman turned around, with a successful smile on her face, "His Royal Highness really has love for Lu Manman. It's no wonder that in the Longyin Palace just now, she would rather risk turning her head against His Highness King Qingtian instead of directly rejecting this palace's request."

What she said was naturally the matter of her asking the sage to marry Chu Ran and Lu Manman.

"Why did the Concubine Lian attract this prince?"

"His Royal Highness is so smart, don't visit and guess."

"This prince is the prince of the Western Chu country and will not associate with the Dongliang people."

She pulled her clothes down, revealing her snow-white shoulders, and she smiled slyly, "So, then we are enemies."

In fact, this answer was something she had expected.

As she ran, she messed up her hair, "Help...Help..."

She happened to smash into the saint who was coming here, and she slammed into his arms, crying with tears, "Holy, save me, save me."

Seeing her disheveled clothes, the sage hugged her into his arms, "What a madman, dare to be unreasonable to Concubine Lotus and take him down."

Consort Lian shook her head again and again with tears on her face. I felt pity when I saw it, "Holy, no."

"Ai Concubine, what's the matter?"

She hesitated to say, "Holy, let's go! It was actually the concubine who accidentally fell."

"If you really fell, why call for help. The Yulin Army took orders and searched the Lotus Jade Palace thoroughly, found the madman just now, and rectified the law on the spot."

Chu Ran heard all these words in her ears. It turned out that this is the Lotus Jade Palace, the palace of the concubine Lotus, and the emperor father just said that he will come here in a while. She calculated the time, so this acted the play. .

He turned the wheelchair out by himself, "Father."

The blue veins on the forehead of the sage came out, and he pointed at Chu Ran, "Ran'er, it turned out to be you."

"Father, please find out, the son and minister did not belittle the lotus concubine."

The saint looked at Concubine Lotus, and then asked: "Ai Concubine, please tell me carefully about what happened."

She whispered, "Because the sage said that he would come back to the concubine later, so the concubine has been waiting here. I don't know where the crown prince came out from, calling Manman, and then...and... "When she said this, she cried again.

The sage was so angry that he roared: "Prince, you can talk about things going on."

"The son-chen came out of the Longyin Palace, thinking about things in his heart, so the court lady pushed the wheelchair. Somehow, the court lady pushed the son-chen here, and the court lady disappeared. The son-chen didn't know this place, so he wanted to find one. People asked for directions. A green figure dangled from Erchen's eyes, and Erchen chased after him."

"Who was pushing the wheelchair for the prince?"

A court lady immediately knelt down and said, "Holy Lord, spare your life, and your Royal Highness is a slave and maidservant."

"Tell me again, what happened just now? If there is a lie, Ma Shanzhang will be killed."

The maid was trembling all over, "If you return to the Holy Spirit, the prince came out of the Longyin Temple just now and happened to meet the servant maid. He said that since the concubine lotus entered the palace, he hadn't visited him, so he asked the servant to lead the way for the prince, and the servant brought the maid to After the lotus jade palace, the prince asked the slaves to retreat. The slaves did not dare not follow, so they retreated. But the slaves did not go far, they heard the voice of the concubine lotus calling for help, so the slaves folded back. See... see..."

"Say."

"Seeing His Royal Highness holding Concubine Lotus and touching and kissing her, she is still calling Manman."

"Puff..." Hearing this, the sage spurted out a mouthful of blood. Concubine Lian hurriedly supported him, and she yelled in her ear: "Holy, holy."

He was already unsteady, and "will...should...should this great treacher to abandon his position as a prince and put him in prison."

After that, he fainted.

As soon as Chu Li returned to the capital city, he heard the news that Chu Ran was sent to prison. The guilt announced by the court was disrespect to the holy, but according to the eyeliner he arranged in the palace, Chu Ran was furious because he molested the concubine lotus. He was sent to jail, but based on his understanding of Chu Ran, Chu Ran was a person who was not chaotic. How could he molested Concubine Lian so regardless of importance, it must be Concubine Lian's framing.

Although his body was healed, he remembered the care of him by Chu Qing when he was in the small mountain village. At that time, he actually felt the warmth from family love. At this time, he felt a little uncomfortable with Chu Ran's experience.

Chu Li said, "Come here, prepare a car, I'm going to Dali Temple."

Dali Temple is the place where Xi Chu specializes in interrogating prisoners, and Chu Ran is also detained here.

"Master, but your body is not easy to be overwhelmed."

Chu Li's eyes flashed, "Hurry up."

"Yes."

In the cell of Dali Temple, Chu Ran wore a prison shirt. Without a wheelchair, he just sat on a bed made of hay.

Despite the mess in the cell, nothing affected him. He sat upright with his eyes closed, and the breeze was clear.

Chu Li came to the door of the cell, and the head of the cell refused to let him in, "Four princes, this time the sage is furious. He has already abolished the position of the prince of the prince, and the servant really dare not let you in."

"If anything happens, the prince will bear it."

"this……"

"Open the door, otherwise the prince will break in."

The head of the cell opened the door, "Four princes, hurry up, otherwise if this matter is known from above, neither you nor I can escape."

Chu Li saw Chu Ran sitting in the haystack. In the past, he was sitting in a high position. He looked up at him. He resented the injustice. He gave Chu Ran such a noble life experience, but he gave him such an unbearable identity.

However, he seems to be wrong.

Although his mother is just a little palace lady, they used to depend on each other, and his mother gave him the best she had. And Chu Ran, although he was a prince, his mother tried to get rid of him over and over again. He knew all these things, let alone Chu Ran as the client.

Nowadays, even the father of the emperor has abolished his crown prince for a concubine lotus who has just entered the palace. The person who was in the cloud suddenly fell into the quagmire.

Chu Ran opened his eyes, he looked at him, there was no trace of sadness in his eyes, only calm and indifferent.

Chu Ran, he will always look like this.

He opened his mouth and said, "I didn't expect that the first person to visit me was you."

"Neither did I expect that I would come to see you."

"Is your health better?"

"It doesn't matter much."

"Then... where is Lu Manman?"

"she's fine."

"That's so... it's fine." After saying this, he closed his eyes again, "Fourth brother, please go back!"

"Father is not an unreasonable person. After he finds out about this matter, he will definitely return you innocent."

"Sometimes, even if the father is wrong, he won't admit that he was wrong, such as Chu Qing. Fourth brother, let's go! If you stay for a moment, I will endanger you for a moment."

"You... cherish it yourself. Things will eventually come to light."

"hope so."

Chu Li walked out of the Dali Temple. He looked up at the gray sky. For the first time, he was wandering and entangled. Whether the path he chose was right or wrong.

It began to rain in the sky, and his entourage held an umbrella for him, and he said: "Spread out the true picture of the Prince's imprisonment."

"Yes."

He left Dali Temple step by step. The former prince was abolished from the position of prince for molesting the harem concubine of the saint. There is such a stain, even if his father gave him an innocence in the future, he can no longer be a prince. .

Chu Qing and Lu Manman dressed up in disguise and were eating in a small restaurant. Under Chu Qing's orders, the group of Yulin army who had protected them had returned to the capital with Qingzi. They had already chased them down. All of the killers were thrown away, and he was planning to spend some time outside and return to the capital.

Lu Manman was eating vegetables and said, "Where are we going to play today?"

"There is a Qingcheng Mountain in Qingcheng, the scenery on Qingcheng Mountain is pleasant, and although it is autumn, but there are flowers blooming on Qingcheng Mountain, vines love peach blossoms, we will go there for a few days later."

She nodded and was happy with him wherever she went.

At this moment, a group of people came to the table next to them. One of them, a middle-aged man with a beard and face, said, "Have you heard? His Royal Highness was abolished the position of prince."

Lu Manman looked at Chu Qing. She didn't speak, but her eyes were asking, what's the matter?

Chu Qing shook her head and motioned for her to continue listening.

The young man who came in with him said: "How is it possible? I heard that the prince is very fond of the prince, even if his feet are broken, he still let him be the prince."

"You don't know about that. A few days ago, the envoy of the Dongliang Kingdom dedicated to a beauty of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit named him a lotus concubine and loved him every night. Moreover, the Holy Spirit had not come to court for many days. I heard that His Royal Highness was offensive. This lady, that's why she suffered such a disaster."

There was no smile on Lu Manman's face. She said, "Let's go back to the capital."

"good."

On the carriage, Lu Manman asked, "Do you believe that Chu Ran will molest Concubine Lotus?"

"Naturally don't believe it, it must be the lotus concubine who has planted and framed her."

Why didn't even Chu Qing believe in things? The saint looked at Chu Ran when he grew up, but he actually believed it.

"Chu Qing, you shouldn't show up after you go back. I will solve this matter."

"But Concubine Lotus is in her favor, I don't worry about you going."

"Then... it's better for you to pretend to be a woman and go with me as my maid."

She was originally a joke, he was stalwart, and he was the **** of war of Xi Chu. Even if he was more beautiful than a woman, he would not agree to disguise him as a woman.

"good."

She looked at him with her mouth open, did he really agree? Did she hear me right?

They drove a horse-drawn carriage for a day and a night, and finally arrived in the capital. Lu Manman returned to Mingyuexuan to rest, and Chu Qing visited Dali Temple at night.

He entered the Dali Temple cell quickly and accurately like a hunting in the dark night. He stood in front of Chu Ran's cell and grabbed the iron lock. The internal force in his palm was surging, and the iron lock made of steel was deformed. Fall off.

Chu Ran was still sitting on the haystack like a breeze, and he gently said, "Are you back?"

The light in the cell was not good, and there were a few kerosene lamps in the musty corridor.

"The news that the prince was deposed has spread throughout Xi Chu. I am afraid... we were wrong."

Chu Ran looked at the darkness in front of him, "The wedding of King Chu Huai and Lu Youran is coming soon, I'm afraid there will be some action on the side of Dongliang Kingdom."

"I will pay attention to their every move."

He looked in the direction Chu Qing was speaking, "The third brother, Consort Lian confuses the country, if you don't get rid of it, Xi Chu is in danger!"

"I know, brother, I will do my best to repay you innocence, let you be released from prison early, and wait for me."

"I believe in you, but...you have to be careful too."

At this time, the head of the cell was over, and he whispered in Chu Qing's ear: "King Qingtian, it's time."

"Take good care of your Royal Highness, whether it is the Prince's food or clothes, you must carefully check it. Anyone who comes to see His Royal Highness must inform this king."

"Yes, King Sky King."
