Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 218 Everyone is weird

So Yan Chu had no choice but to cooperate.

He said to try it, so try it.

When he got to the yard, he drew his bow and shot arrows, and of course his shots were 100% accurate, with every arrow hitting the target, and his momentum was quite fierce.

King Shuo stood by and clapped his hands.

"Brother Qin Wang's archery skills are indeed well-deserved. It's been so long since you came back from the war, but this is the first time I've seen it. If I had known you were so good, I should have come here earlier to learn from you."

He said it sincerely.

Even Yan Chu heard a hint of compliment in these words.

Now he felt even more awkward.

So what does this guy want to do?

"you try?"

Yan Chu handed over the heavy bow and arrow.

King Shuo was stunned for a moment, then took it.

But he was, after all, a prince who lived a life of luxury in Kyoto. Although he was proficient in archery and was both civil and military, how could he be compared with Yan Chu, who had fought on the battlefield?

It was already very difficult for him to lift the bow and arrow and shoot it.

Although it didn't hit the center of the target, it was still on target, so it's not shameful.

"I am naturally not as good as Brother Qin Wang in archery."

"My arm strength is OK, but my accuracy is not good. I need to practice."

Yan Chu also gave his opinion.

"Yes, yes, I have indeed neglected practice in recent years."

King Shuo nodded continuously, looking very willing to learn.

Yan Chu felt even more awkward now.

Then they chatted awkwardly for a while, and King Shuo continued to shoot arrows, refusing to give up.

Yan Chu occasionally gives some guidance.

The picture seems harmonious, but there always feels a cool breeze blowing.

In the evening, King Shuo had dinner at King Qin's mansion before leaving.

As soon as he left, everyone in the Prince Qin's mansion was in chaos.

Because everyone knows that King Shuo and their own prince are in opposition.

But Su Rong was very happy after knowing this.

If he is willing to come, it means he has accepted her opinion.

This is a signal that he intends to cooperate with me.

So, she subconsciously stroked her belly.

"My child, wait and see how my mother will promise you a kingdom."

Yan Chu betrayed her, so there was no need to keep him.

When he ascends the throne in the future, she will get rid of him and let her own child succeed to the throne. Then she will be the most powerful woman in the world.

Since she has lost her love, why not follow the example of Emperor Wu and become a glorious history in this time and space?

However, after Shen Zhishu learned about this, he couldn't figure out what King Shuo meant by doing this.

To show goodwill? Does he not want the throne anymore?

If he gave up so easily, he wouldn't have had the most miserable end after Yan Chu ascended the throne in his previous life.

So what’s the point of doing this?

Could it be that he also had evidence that Yan Chu would never be able to ascend the throne and become emperor?

So the friendly gesture now is just to appease him in case Yan and Chu launch a mutiny and seize his throne?

In short, when he took this step, everyone became uneasy.

But Yan Chu knew that Shu'er was right. He had to be vigilant and not give King Shuo the opportunity to frame him.

That night, he ordered the secret guards to send more people to monitor every move in the palace, especially around the emperor, and not let any strangers get close.

"My Lord, could the sudden appearance of King Shuo be related to the Third Princess?"

Late at night, when everything was arranged, Chu Er finally expressed his guess.

This also reminded Yan Chu.

"But the Third Princess is at the inn, what is he doing here?"

On the second day after the welcoming ceremony, Su Rong had quietly transferred everyone to the inn and assigned additional personnel to keep an eye on the place at all times, waiting to catch the person behind the assassination of the third princess.

"Maybe he came to get information. On the day of the welcoming ceremony, maybe King Shuo knew that the third princess was not in the carriage. Maybe he was the murderer behind the scenes? He knew that it was you who secretly rescued the third princess, and he came here to find out the truth."

You know what, Yan Chu felt that this guess did make some sense.

"But why did he want to assassinate the third princess? What grudge did he have with the third princess?"

You can't bring the grudges from ten years ago back to now for revenge, right?

"I am just guessing. If the Third Princess and the Prince Consort were assassinated in Kyoto, the outside world would definitely ask our dynasty for an explanation, and it is very likely that they would go to war. Then perhaps King Shuo would take the opportunity to recommend you to go to the battlefield to quell the war. It will take at least two months for you to return. If he stays in Kyoto, no one can stop him."

The emperor is critically ill.

He is the only one in Kyoto at the critical moment, so isn't the throne his?

Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You're right."

If analyzed in this way, it makes more sense.

"Send someone to the post house to keep an eye on it. Don't let anything happen to the Third Princess and her husband in Kyoto."

Unsure of King Shuo's motives.

Therefore, he must be careful to guard against any possibility.

"There are also the princess's people, keep an eye on them as well."

If this is King Shuo's purpose, will his princess, who has a close relationship with him, betray him?

Yan Chu really had no confidence in her.

"Yes."

Chu Er was not surprised at all, and seemed to want to do just that.

The next day.

Finally, nothing happened, so Zhao Rui and Li Yan went back home.

When Yan Chu came back from the morning court and learned the news, he took Shen Zhishu and prepared generous gifts and went to Zhao's house.

General Zhao was very happy when he saw him coming.

Who cares about what happened before?

No one mentioned what happened that day, and they got along very happily.

Moreover, King Cheng is here today as well.

It was Zhao Rui who asked her father to invite this person specially after she came back.

So, King Cheng sat together with Yan Chu in a private setting.

They are obviously brothers, but they are not familiar with each other at all, and King Cheng is a little reserved, even his smile is tense.

"Cousin Prince Cheng, when are you going to visit Concubine Hui in the palace?"

At the dinner table, Zhao Rui called him affectionately.

King Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled very honestly the next second.

"I can go anytime I want. Cousin, do you want to go to the palace to see my mother?"

"I would like to go, but it's not that easy. I can't enter the palace without the emperor's order. But I still want to let Concubine Hui know that I'm married, so I specially prepared a generous gift for her. When you enter the palace, please bring it in for me."

As she spoke, she picked up the mahogany box beside her, which looked like a finely crafted jewelry box.

"What is it?"

King Cheng suddenly became curious.

"It's a secret. If you're curious, take it back and open it. But you're not allowed to open it now, especially in front of King Qin and my father."

Zhao Rui said with a serious face.

When King Cheng heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face turned red instantly.

"Okay, I'll help you take it in tomorrow."

Perhaps it was a private matter between women, and King Cheng had no interest in hearing about such boring things.

Zhao Rui immediately smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

It seemed harmonious, but Zhao's father and mother frowned, as if they felt that their daughter's behavior was very abnormal.

As for Yan Chu, he didn't look at anyone but stared at the book.

Obviously, she didn't say anything and didn't do anything, but Yan Chu seemed to think that she was weird today.

When I'm with Zhao Rui, we talk surprisingly little.
