Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Volume I_Chapter 2860 Scared the Emperor

Emperor Hongyuan laughed all of a sudden, "As expected of Princess Li, she is smart."

As he said that, he regretted and said: "Hey, why did I try to guess at eggs and ducks just now? Of course the face is the one that doesn't look good!"

Yun Ruoyue thought to herself, this is a brain teaser she learned in modern times. For this scene, she specially taught it to Xue Tianxiang. Of course, these ancient people would not be able to guess it.

Xue Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, since Princess Li won, shouldn't she be the first one to order?"

Emperor Hongyuan smiled and said, "Okay, she should order."

Xue Tianxiang took the playbook from Amina, handed it to Yun Ruoyue, and said, "This is the playbook. Princess Li, order it!"

"Thank you, ma'am." After Yun Ruoyue took the playbook, she flipped through it seriously.

After flipping through for a while, she pointed to a page of the script and said, "I've seen most of the plays in it, but this one called "The Legend of Cheng Jun" hasn't. "Bar?"

Xue Tianxiang said: "Okay, Amina, hurry up and ask the theater troupe to prepare."

"Yes, empress." After Amina finished speaking, she walked out of the hall.

When Emperor Hongyuan heard the name "Chengjun Biography", his face was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ruoyue would order this drama. Hearing the name Cheng Jun, he felt a little uncomfortable.

At this time, all kinds of music sounded suddenly, and then all kinds of characters came on stage and began to perform this opera.

Seeing the characters on stage, Emperor Hongyuan remembered the story of Cheng Jun.

This Chengjun was a tyrant in ancient times.

Legend has it that he was cruel by nature, fatuous, extravagant and dissipated.

For the sake of pleasure, he arbitrarily extorted money from the people, levied exorbitant taxes, and forced a lot of corvees to build tombs and palaces for him, even women and children.

Chengjun's actions made the people miserable, causing the people to suffer unspeakably, mourning and complaining.

Finally, the people couldn't bear it anymore, and they took up arms and declared an uprising.

They rushed into Chengjun's palace angrily, killed Chengjun on the spot, insulted his body, divided his body into five horses, and finally fed it to the dogs.

Cheng Jun spent a huge amount of money to build the imperial mausoleum, which was also trampled down by the rebels, and his luxurious palace was burned down by the rebels.

It can be said that Chengjun was overthrown by the people, which is the fate of a tyrant.

At this time, the scene of Jun Cheng being wiped off his neck by the rebel army was being performed on the stage.

This scene was so real that Emperor Hongyuan's neck felt a chill when he saw it, and he felt uneasy and very nervous.

God!

He doesn't care about the people now, will he also end up like Cheng Jun?

When he saw the rebels dismember Cheng Jun's body by five horses and dragged Cheng Jun's body to the dogs, he was already trembling with fright and dripping with cold sweat.

When he saw Cheng Jun's tomb was trampled down and the palace was burned to the ground, a chill came from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he was sweating profusely on his forehead.

As he watched, his heart became more and more panicked, and his head suddenly ached sharply.

"Ah!" Emperor Hongyuan held his head and suddenly groaned in pain.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xue Tianxiang asked nervously.

As soon as the voice came out, the performance on the stage came to an abrupt end, and the ministers in the hall also stood up one after another, staring nervously at Emperor Hongyuan.

"My head hurts. Eunuch Xu, hurry up and find Chen Changqing to get the Longevity Pill." Emperor Hongyuan said sadly.

"Yes, the slave will go right away." Eunuch Xu said, and ran out quickly.

Seeing this, Chu Xuanchen winked at Mo Li who was next to him, and Mo Li immediately sneaked out and followed behind Eunuch Xu.

At this moment, Yun Ruoyue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, would you like me to take a look at you?"

"I don't need you anymore, as long as I have the Longevity Pill. Concubine Xue, please help me go to the bedroom to rest first, Concubine Wan, you can accompany everyone here for me." Emperor Hongyuan ordered.

Dong Shishi hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xue Tianxiang hurried over to help Emperor Hongyuan, "Your Majesty, come, my concubine will help you."

As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue, and helped Emperor Hongyuan away.

When everyone saw Emperor Hongyuan leaving, their faces changed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongyuan would suddenly have a headache. He used to be in good health, what happened recently?

Could it be caused by taking too much medicine?

Seeing Emperor Hongyuan leave, Chu Xuanchen also held Yun Ruoyue's hand, and said, "My lady, it's too stuffy in here, shall we go out to get some air?"

"Okay, let's go!" Yun Ruoyue said.

Then, the two also walked out of the hall and walked towards the imperial garden.

When he came to a deserted garden, Chu Xuanchen said: "Yue'er, did you see the emperor's expression just now? When he saw the "Chengjun Biography" you ordered, his face changed drastically, as if he was horrified. It seems that he also thinks of himself from Cheng Jun."

Yun Ruoyue nodded, "Yes, he is a tyrant just like Cheng Jun, he is only slightly better than Cheng Jun, if he continues like this, he will end up like Cheng Jun, that's why he is so afraid."

"He can be frightened by this play, which means that he is not hopeless." Chu Xuanchen said.

Yun Ruoyue said: "Xuan Chen, thanks to the way you came up with a play, coupled with the cooperation of Concubine Xue, this "The Legend of Cheng Jun" can be performed smoothly."

Chu Xuanchen stretched out his hand and rubbed Yun Ruoyue's head, and said with a smile, "The brain teaser you thought of was also great. It's as interesting as the eyebrows growing under the eyes last time. They didn't even guess it."

Yun Ruoyue smiled slyly and said: "Are we talking about business mutual praise? The emperor will definitely feel uneasy after watching this scene today. If we persuade him again, maybe he will let go. But he is now He insists on going his own way, doesn't listen to us at all, and there is no way to persuade him."

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said: "Yue'er, didn't you say last time that you can cure the emperor's headache? If you can relieve his pain, then his mood will improve. When he is in a better mood, let's persuade him again." He might be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Yun Ruoyue said worriedly: "I can relieve his pain. But you also saw that I wanted to treat his illness just now, but he refused at all. He only trusts Longevity Pill."

Chu Xuanchen curled his lips slightly, "Eunuch Xu went to get the longevity pill just now. Yue'er, if Eunuch Xu has something wrong on the way, he can't get the longevity pill for the time being. Then tell me, will the emperor come to beg you?"

When Yun Ruoyue heard this, she suddenly realized, "Xuan Chen, did you ask Mo Li to follow Eunuch Xu just now to prevent Eunuch Xu from getting the Longevity Pill? I said it was such a coincidence that Mo Li also followed. It's deployed!"

Chu Xuanchen chuckled lightly: "You actually saw him coming?"

Grandma Yun Ruoyue glared fiercely at Chu Xuanchen, "You bastard, you were clearly prepared tomorrow, why didn't you tell me?"
