Hearing this, the eunuch was startled, and then he waved his hands to the maids, signaling them all to retreat.

"No." The maids responded crisply.

After everyone had left, Shang Rui was still breathing heavily, and at the same time pushed the things he had just collected to the ground again.

There was a crashing sound, and the eunuch did not dare to pick it up again, but said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you miss your beloved concubine, but... your beloved concubine is the concubine of King Chen..."

"I don't care! In short, I just want her! No matter what!" Shang Rui shouted.

"This... this..." The eunuch didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said, "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, this old slave has a plan."

"Oh? Say it quickly!" As long as he can get his concubine, Shang Rui probably won't care about anything anymore.

The eunuch Yin** said: "Your Majesty can issue an edict to summon King Chen and his concubine to the capital to meet the Holy Spirit. If they come by then, Your Majesty will devise a clever plan to falsely accuse King Chen of deceiving the king.

If you behead him, that beloved concubine will belong to His Majesty..."

After hearing what he said, Shang Rui's eyes widened immediately, and then he reacted and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Summon King Chen to the capital!"

He did what he said, and an imperial edict was immediately sent to the State of Chen.

King Chen is one of the few princes and kings in the world who is truly loyal to the royal family. The King of Chen also pays tribute every year, and has called on all countries to respect the emperor several times.

For such a king, Shang Rui, under the extravagant desires, wanted to kill his people and steal his wife just for the sake of beauty!

This shows how stupid he is as an emperor!

The imperial edict was quickly transmitted to Chen State. After hearing this, King Chen was a little dumbfounded. It was nothing to meet the saint in the capital. How could he bring his concubine with him?

He knelt on the ground and didn't speak for a long time. When the eunuch who issued the imperial edict saw this, he couldn't help but screamed: "King Chen still doesn't accept the edict?"

"Ah?" The latter came back to his senses, and had no choice but to respond: "My lord, I obey the order."

"Your Majesty also said that this time we have important matters to discuss with King Chen. We should not wait too long and set off as soon as possible." The eunuch said again.

"Yes." King Chen responded.

After the eunuch left, he held the imperial edict and was speechless for a long time.

That night, King Chen was full of sorrow. He couldn't help but think of what the concubine said before. He looked at the concubine and said worriedly: "My concubine, you said that your majesty asked me to take you to see the saint. This...

"

Isn't this obvious? The concubine said directly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you can't go on this trip, otherwise it will be dangerous."

"But this, this is the emperor's edict. If I don't accept it, I will be guilty of resisting the edict." King Chen frowned.

"Hey!" The concubine also sighed deeply: "I have told the king before that although I have a grudge against the emperor, I have never thought that he is so shameless and despicable. Why should we discuss anything important?

Call me a woman, and if there is something really important, why not make it clear beforehand? Why not make it clear at this time?"

What she said was true and reasonable. King Chen understood clearly, but his face was still full of worry.

Whether he accepts this imperial edict or not, he does not accept it.

Knowing his difficulty, the concubine said sternly: "No matter what happens, nothing should happen to the king. I would rather die. Isn't he just coveting my body? I can go alone."

"No!" Upon hearing this, King Chen's heart shrank instantly and he hugged his beloved concubine tightly into his arms.

He really loves her.

So does she.

If the concubine is allowed to go to the imperial capital alone, what is the difference between killing King Chen!

Seeing that he was suddenly nervous, the concubine was moved in her heart, her eye circles were red, tears fell slowly, and she said with tears in her eyes: "But if you don't go, then the foolish king will definitely punish the king, and if this causes Chen Guo to suffer."

, How can I face the people in my country..."

"No! No matter what happens! I will never separate from my beloved concubine! Not anyone else!" King Chen growled, hugging his beloved concubine even tighter.

At the same time, there was undoubtedly deep resentment in his heart!

The so-called hatred for killing one's father and taking away one's wife are irreconcilable!

If the emperor did this, King Chen would definitely be angry and humiliated. How could he obey his imperial edict?

When this imperial edict was introduced into the Chen Kingdom, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no movement for a long time. Shang Rui waited and waited, but there was no news.

On this day, he couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "How dare you, Prince Chen, resist the decree! Come here! Summon Lu Bolin into the palace quickly!"

Lu Bolin did not dare to neglect his urgent summons, and hurriedly entered the palace, knelt down in the palace study and saluted: "See Your Majesty——"

"Ping Shen." Shang Rui had a gloomy face. After Lu Bolin got up, he got straight to the point:

"Prince Chen is so audacious! He actually disobeyed orders and ignored the imperial edict! Lu Bolin! I now order you to mobilize all three armies and send out troops to attack Chen!"

"Ah!?" Hearing this, Lu Bolin was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please think again."

"Why are you thinking twice! What King Chen did is really treason! If I don't defeat Chen, I will never be able to let go of the hatred in my heart!" Shang Rui was furious.

Lu Bolin had been in power for many years and was aware of his temper. When he saw this, he had no intention of persuading him. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I mean. What I want to say is that if you want to attack Chen, you must do it first."

I want to win the battle and let the world know the majesty of the emperor. However, your majesty has also seen that I am already old. I am afraid... I am afraid that I am too ambitious but not strong enough."

"What do you mean?" Shang Rui stared at him.

Lu Bolin swallowed his saliva: "In my opinion, in this battle, if General Zhong Bai is appointed as the commander, he will be able to defeat the enemy with overwhelming force!"

In terms of military ability, how could Lu Bolin be comparable to Zhong Bai, and there is no need to say more about his little thoughts.

However, when Shang Rui heard this, he thought deeply for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "Ai Qing is right, you are indeed a little old. I can't bear to ask you to go on an expedition again. In this case, let me tell you

Zhong Bai."

Lu Bolin didn't want to, didn't want to, and didn't dare to fight this battle, so he pushed it on Zhong Bai. After the latter entered the palace, he didn't know what was going on, so he naturally wanted to see the ceremony first.

When he stood up, Shang Rui still went straight in and made it clear that he was going to attack Chen.

After Zhong Bai heard this, his eyes widened on the spot.

It was because he was shocked and he said urgently: "Your Majesty, you can't! King Chen has always supported your Majesty and paid tribute every year. What crime is there?"

"He resists the decree!" Shang Rui shouted sharply.

"This...how is this possible?" Zhong Bai naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't know the inside story.

Seeing him like this, Shang Rui couldn't help but became angry. He pointed at Zhong Bai and said: "Zhong Bai! I am ordering you to send troops now! Do you want to resist the order and disrespect me?"

"This, this, how dare I!" This big hat made Zhong Bai kneel down again.

"Then you still don't accept the order!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"There's nothing more to worry about! Zhong Bai! Do you really want to resist the decree!?" Shang Rui pressed forward step by step.

In this situation, Zhong Bai had no choice at all.

"I, I don't dare, I just accept the order..."
