C289 Chu Xiong

"Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of someone. " Dou Tianlai said after thinking for a while with a tensed face.

Ou Yezi raised his eyebrows. "Who?"

Dou Tianlai immediately lowered his voice and said, "The Prince Regent, Chu Xiong. "

"Chu Xiong!" Ou Yezi said in shock, "You mean the Prince Regent, Chu Xiong, who disappeared mysteriously fifteen years ago?"

Dou Tianlai nodded.

"Well, if it is him, then all the questions seem to be able to be explained. " Ou Yezi smiled bitterly, "With that person's ability, if he wants to do this, it might not be difficult at all. Looks like another name will be added to the Emperor's name list. "

Chu Xiong, Chu Yu's younger brother. After Chu Yu died, he once replaced the young Chu Feng to handle the state affairs. It was rumored that this person had great talents and great strategies when he was in power. The entire army ruled the country without slacking off. Moreover, he was born with the appearance of an overlord. It was so expensive that it could not be described with words. However, he had no fate with the throne twice, which made people sigh with regret. From then on, he was disheartened and depressed. Finally, after Chu Feng ascended the throne for three years, he mysteriously disappeared in the palace. This matter had once caused a huge stir. However, he could not find any clues. Until now, Chu Xiong's whereabouts were still unknown. He was suspected to have been harmed by Chu Feng.

"I was just guessing. Although the regent had the intention of becoming a monarch all those years ago, he would never collude with other races. In my impression, he was. . . How could a man with a backbone do something that would let down the Great Chu?"

"Maybe it was out of hatred. " Ou Yezi sighed, "After all, from a certain point of view, the Emperor is equivalent to seizing his throne. If not for the late Emperor suddenly changing his mind before his death, perhaps he would be the one sitting on the throne now. "

This matter was talking about a secret from back then. It was said that the former Emperor Chu Yu had a final edict when he found out that his time was approaching. He passed the throne to Prince Rui, Chu Xiong, but suddenly changed his mind before he died. He ordered someone to change the decree overnight, and Chu Feng became the new Emperor. Chu Xiong was conferred the title of Prince Regent and specially assisted the young Chu Feng in handling political affairs. Chu Xiong had once caused a huge ruckus regarding this, and even almost flipped his elder brother Chu Yu's memorial tablet in a fit of anger. After that, it was stopped by Empress Ning Ci, who was still alive at that time, which was also Chu Feng's biological mother, Zhao Shi. This matter was finally left unsettled, and after that, Chu Feng. . . He had always felt guilty towards this Royal Uncle of his.

This matter was later classified as a secret by Chu Feng, and very few people knew about it. However, Dou Tianlai and Ou Yezi were elders and held important positions in the government, so they naturally knew about this matter very well.

When he heard this, Dou Tianlai immediately disapproved and said, "Even so, I don't believe that he would do such a thing. You have to know that he doesn't want others to harm him. No matter what, Little Rouer is his granddaughter. "

"Then what if his hatred towards the Emperor has already reached an irreparable stage?" Ou Yezi said with a sigh. "Don't forget, but there have always been rumors saying that. . . The Prince Regent's disappearance fifteen years ago was closely related to the Emperor. Some people even suspect that the Prince Regent was killed by the Emperor. "

Dou Tianlai's eyes suddenly narrowed. He played with the chopsticks in his hand and asked without thinking, What happened?" Old Fraud, even you suspect that the Prince Regent's disappearance was caused by Chu brat?"

Ou Yezi laughed and said, "If I said yes, would you immediately poke my neck with the chopsticks in your hand?"

Dou Tianlai shook his head and looked at his head. It was as if it was not his head but a plate of delicious food and desserts. He licked his lips and said, "Compared to your neck, I am more interested in your head. "

"F * ck! You damn pervert!" Ou Yezi suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He said with disgust from the bottom of his heart, "Don't tell me you have really eaten dead meat before?"

"What do you think?" Dou Tianlai deliberately disgusted him once, so he pretended to play with the taste. "Actually, human flesh is not as hard to swallow as you think. After being cooked, the taste is almost the same as the mutton in front of you. It just doesn't have the smell of mutton. I suggest you dip it in vinegar when you eat it. As for the human brain, it's one of the best dishes. Although it looks similar to the plate of tofu you ate, the taste is absolutely not comparable to tofu. Especially when mixed with some blood and human brains, it would be mixed in a bowl and eaten. Tsk tsk, that taste. . . Ugh. . . "

Before he could finish his words, he had already vomited. Ou Yezi immediately gloated when he saw this. "Haha, I have made you, an old thing, feel bad. You deserve retribution. If you want me to say it, I will say it. Serves you right!"

Dou Tianlai spat and said, "Get lost!"

. . .

"Although I don't like that little bastard, at least I can trust his character. For the sake of the throne, he wouldn't do such a thing to harm his own uncle. "

At this moment, the two of them had already changed to another room to continue their conversation. As for the room just now, it had already been ruined by Dou Tianlai. No matter what Ou Yezi said, he wouldn't stay there.

"The rumors naturally cannot be easily believed, but if the person in question thinks the same way, then. . . Then how can you explain it?" Ou Yezi took a sip of tea and analyzed, "The Prince Regent went missing for 15 years for no reason. No one can guarantee what happened in these 15 years. If he is still alive, He never died, but he never showed up. That can only mean one thing. He is planning a scheme to harm the Emperor. "

" That shouldn't be the case. He has no reason to do that. Although that little brat Chu Feng did not say it out loud, he has always felt guilty for snatching his throne. How could he harm him? " Dou Tianlai retorted.

Ou Yezi said, "No one can say clearly about this. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding that caused him to not hesitate to turn against the Emperor and even take revenge on the Emperor. Who knows?"

Dou Tianlai immediately clenched his fists and sighed. "I hope it's not him. Otherwise, I. . . Sigh! "

"On the contrary, I would rather he is the mastermind behind all of this. This way, at least we have someone we can suspect. " Ou Yezi said with a serious expression, "Otherwise, if it was someone else. . . Think about it. . . All of this was done by one person, including the disappearance of the Prince Regent. Including the fact that the princess had encountered an assassin from the Barbarian Tribe, there must be a connection between these two things. If the culprit was not the Prince Regent himself, then it meant that there was a person who had set up a trap fifteen years ago. Now that fifteen years had passed, what exactly did he set up? Could it be that the Barbarian Tribe assassins had entered the border? Does this mean that his plan has begun?"

Dou Tianlai also noticed the seriousness of the situation. He did not speak glibly anymore. Instead, he asked seriously," Can't you calculate the whereabouts of the Prince Regent until now? "

Ou Yezi could not help sighing, "He always wore something that can cut off the secrets of heaven, presumably because he is afraid of being discovered by us. . . "

At this point, the night was silent. For the first time ever, the two overlords in Great Chu, who could call the wind and summon the rain, felt powerless because of the same thing.
