The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

Chapter 152: Secrets of the Deep Palace

Emperor Wenxuan said coldly, "I spared your life out of consideration for our friendship, and I have provided you with good food and drink over the years, but you have developed such a wolfish ambition."

Chu Wenzheng was unmoved, he just stared at Bai Chuxiao and smiled, "My nephew's wife is very loyal to my brother, the emperor, what a pity..."

Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow, "If the emperor's uncle has any last words, please tell me."

Chu Wen Zheng suddenly burst into laughter. Bai Chuxiao's hand tightened. Chu Wen Zheng teased, "I have a secret. Do you want to know?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled and shook her head, "This princess never likes to hear any gossip."

Emperor Wenxuan said coldly, "Girl, stop playing."

Chu Wen Zheng smiled and said, "My niece, why do you have to help him like this? If my brother knew this secret, the first person he would want to kill would definitely not be me, but your Yanwang Mansion and even the Murong family would not be able to escape death."

Bai Chuxiao's eyes tightened slightly, but she inexplicably believed these words. Emperor Wenxuan felt a little uneasy when he saw this, and said sternly, "Chu Wenzheng, stop talking nonsense, Xiao girl, kill him immediately."

Bai Chuxiao did not make a move. Chu Wenzhen dared to stand here alone, how could he not have a backup plan? I'm afraid that the harem has already been under his control. Even if it's not for the secret, he has to make good use of this hostage.

Chu Wenzhen laughed wildly, "Chu Wenxuan, Chu Wenxuan, you hypocritical person, ask yourself who conquered this world for you. In the past few decades, have you ever dreamed of my sister-in-law? Have you ever dreamed of the loyal ministers and generals who tried their best to help you but died tragically?"

Emperor Wenxuan's heart suddenly jumped, and he shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Bai Chuxiao's eyes flickered slightly, "What does this have to do with the Murong family of King Yan?"

Chu Wen Zheng smiled and said, "Twenty years ago, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, including my sister-in-law, was massacred. Guess who did it?"

Emperor Wenxuan seemed to have touched upon something that was buried deep in his heart and that he was most reluctant to mention. He became furious and started to cough violently.

Chu Wen Zheng laughed again, "How could the remnants of the destroyed countries under the emperor's feet have such great ability? Back then, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was very famous, and the emperor's sister-in-law was pregnant. I'm afraid my brother couldn't sleep every night. It was not enough to kill all the male members of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and even the female members were not spared."

"Shut up, you traitor..." Emperor Wenxuan's forehead was bulging with veins as he cursed

Chu Wen Zheng continued, "Haha, this brings up my brother's sad part? Back then, when the emperor's sister-in-law was about to give birth, she still left the palace to visit her mother. Everyone thought that the child died in the womb along with the emperor's sister-in-law... But that's not the case. The emperor's sister-in-law gave birth to a son."

Emperor Wenxuan suddenly became angry and coughed non-stop. Chu Wenzheng paused and admired Emperor Wenxuan's appearance with interest for a while before looking at Bai Chuxiao who remained calm and raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite patient."

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "The story isn't very interesting."

Chu Wen Zheng smiled and said, "The interesting part is what's to come. Since my brother has killed all the members of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, even his first wife, he naturally wouldn't leave any blood of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. Even though the child is his own flesh and blood, how could my sister-in-law, a woman of her generation, not have noticed it at all? She had already arranged for someone to escape with the child. My brother blocked the capital and launched a massive search in the city, and finally killed his own child as he wished."

Emperor Wenxuan suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something. He drew out the sword beside him and stabbed Chu Wenzhen fiercely, "Traitor... traitor... I will kill you..."

Bai Chuxiao took Chu Wenzhen and dodged to the side. Emperor Wenxuan's stab missed and he could only hold the sword and breathe heavily. He had been in poor health recently, and now he was stimulated again. He looked old and frail.

Chu Wenzhen raised his head and laughed, "Chu Wenxuan, you killed your father and brother, harmed good generals, and killed your own son. You can still shamelessly say that you have a clear conscience when you sit on the throne of the emperor. It's really a big joke. Over the past few decades, I'm afraid that the number of wronged souls who want to take your life is too numerous to count..."

He laughed until tears were about to come out, then he continued, "What a pity! If you had killed all the good generals and my younger brother with an iron fist, it would have been fine, but you chose to be both the emperor and the emperor, wanting to leave behind the good reputation of the emperor, and left behind the Murong family and Prince An..."

Emperor Wenxuan slowly calmed down and suddenly chuckled, "So what? Do you think you can win? I have been an emperor for most of my life, and I believe that I have governed well. At least I have done my best to serve the people. As for the rest, the royal family has many shady tricks. It's either you die or I live. I believe that my ability is better than that of the prince back then, but father still prefers the legitimate son..."

Chu Wenzheng said sternly, "Is this the reason why you killed the prince?"

Emperor Wenxuan sneered, "How can there be brothers in the royal family? Even if your brother, the prince, came to the throne, he would still be afraid of you. It's just that the prince died early, so you are now hypocritically mourning for him."

Chu Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, "You are so resentful of your father and believe that the throne should be filled by the wise, but what about you now? The crown prince is so mediocre, but you still insist on establishing the heir. Why?"

Emperor Wenxuan was suddenly startled and speechless for a long time. He made the same choice as his father. At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand the significance of his father's insistence on establishing the heir.

Chu Wen Zheng continued, "Are you speechless? But what you just said is not wrong. There are no fathers, sons, or brothers in the royal family. However, good and evil will be rewarded. What my father, the crown prince, and my brother experienced back then is about to happen again. Right now, I am not the only one who wants to rebel against you..."

Bai Chuxiao was not interested in these dirty deeds of the royal family. As for the other person who wanted to rebel, there was no need to say anything. "Have you finished talking about your old grudges?"

Chu Wenzheng smiled faintly, "Didn't the princess say that she is not interested in gossip?"

Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "It would be better if the emperor's uncle really has some interesting stories."

Chu Wen Zheng smiled, "My life is in the hands of the princess. How can I do this without some bargaining chips? The dagger is piercing my bones. Princess, why don't you let it go first?"

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that the inside and outside of the palace are now under the control of the emperor's uncle and Chu Tianling. It may not be so easy for this princess to leave the imperial city today. Just like the emperor's uncle said, how can we do it without some bargaining chips?"

Chu Wenzheng smiled faintly, "Actually, I am not very interested in the throne."

Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "Uncle Emperor, are you trying to tell me that you did all this just for the sake of justice and to avenge those who died that year?"

Chu Wenzheng shook his head, "I am not as hypocritical as my brother, who talks about his ambitions in such a righteous way."

Bai Chuxiao tightened her grip and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't delay any longer. If you don't tell me the so-called secret, it will be buried underground."
