Qiqi really didn't think that she could remember the past and how much it meant to the northern prince in front of her.

Her past man was Chu Xuanchi, her senior brother was Chu Jiangnan, and Ah Chu had lived together for more than two years.

As for Chu Dingbei, no matter how you look at it, I don't think I have too deep a friendship with her, so I can't remember those pasts.

Chu Dingbei didn't think so much in his heart, although he didn't know which piece of his heart was empty, but when he heard her say that the Fifth Emperor Brother was injured, he couldn't think about anything else at this moment.

The Fifth Emperor Brother has always lived in a simple house, and rarely has a grudge against others, why did he get hurt? Could it be that last night's encirclement and suppression of the medicine man also had something to do with him?

In the bedroom, Concubine Jin was feeding Chu Jiangnan to drink medicine, and when Qiqi and Chu Dingbei entered the door, most of the bowl of medicine had already been drunk.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Chu Jiangnan's gaze swept over Qiqi's face and fell on Chu Dingbei.

"Have you talked to your Fourth Emperor Brother?" he asked.

"No, the Fourth Emperor Brother still has something to deal with in a hurry. Chu Dingbei walked to the side of the bed and looked at him with lowered eyes, and seeing that his face was really a little pale, he was a little anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Was the Fifth Emperor Brother injured by the medicine man last night?"

Chu Jiangnan shook his head and said with a light smile: "I didn't go out last night, I stayed in the palace all the time, as for the injured ......"

His eyes fell on Qiqi, and he smiled: "It's to remind this girl of the past and cast the sound of the soul piano on her, so that it will hurt her heart." ”

Qiqi's eyes changed invisibly, I don't know why he wanted to hide these things from his Seventh Emperor Brother, but since he intended to hide it, it was inconvenient for her to say anything, but she was a little more suspicious in her heart, could it be that this Chu Dingbei was not something to be trusted?

He came on behalf of the King of Chu this time, and he had heard Chu Xuanchi casually mention the things he wanted to discuss, probably hoping that their Xuanguo would return the few northwest cities that had been divided from the Chu State.

The city was Chu Xuanchi's territory at the beginning, he established the Xuan Kingdom, and those cities were also included in the territory of the Xuan Kingdom, which originally belonged to the Chu State, and it seems that it is reasonable to return them.

Chu Dingbei didn't say anything more, but Concubine Jin looked at Qiqi and said softly: "Did ......the seven girls really forget the past?

She looked at Qiqi, then at Chu Jiangnan, and wondered a little: "Your marriage is ......?"

"Mother, Qiqi can't remember the past anymore, and there is no need to mention those things in the past. Chu Jiangnan suddenly interrupted her words, and when he looked at her, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

That bit of embarrassment, not only Concubine Jin noticed it, but even Qiqi could see it clearly.

"What kind of marriage?" She glanced at Chu Jiangnan, then at Concubine Jin, and said in surprise: "You said that I and my senior brother are married again?"

Concubine Jin's thin lips moved slightly, but after seeing the anxiety in Chu Jiangnan's eyes, she raised her head and smiled at Qiqi, and said gently: "I remember wrongly, it's not your marriage with the emperor, I mean that the emperor hasn't married yet, I'm anxious as a mother, I hope you can also help, don't let him be such a big person, he is not serious at all, and he doesn't even have a home." ”

Hearing this, Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what she was anxious about inexplicably, but hearing her say this, her heart finally relaxed.

Looking at Chu Jiangnan, she smiled mischievously: "Senior brother is really not small, it's time to get married." ”

He was originally the southern prince of Chu State, how could a man in the palace not want to marry at the age of twenty-six or seven?

Chu Xuanchi is the same, there are twenty-seven, why don't you even have a concubine in this palace?

Chu Jiangnan didn't want to mention this matter, his eyes fell on Chu Dingbei, and said lightly: "The mother concubine should persuade the seventh emperor brother, she has already talked about marriage with Princess Qinglan two years ago, why has it been delayed until two years later, and the marriage has not been completed today?

"How can it not be?" Concubine Jin glanced at him, and also looked at Chu Dingbei, and her eyes were stained with a touch of reproach: "The boss is not small, and he and Qinglan are in love, after so many years of relationship, who knows what this kid is thinking? When your father mentioned that he wanted them to get married, he flatly refused, saying that the boy has ambitions in all directions, and the Chu country has not yet stabilized, and he has no intention of caring about his children's affairs." If he didn't know that he really liked Qinglan, the mother concubine would have wondered if he had no intention of the girl's family. ”

When Chu Dingbei heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he pouted his lips busily, and said disapprehantly: "The man's ambition is in all directions, and the Chu State is now in such a mess, and the fourth and fifth emperor brothers are not here, how can I consider my marriage at this time?"

After that, he glanced at Chu Jiangnan resentfully, and said helplessly: "Have you really decided to break with your father?"

Chu Dingbei was straightforward, he said whatever he thought, and he didn't care that Concubine Jin was still in front of him, but after saying this, he also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he was busy lowering his head and didn't dare to snort anymore.

Something flashed in Concubine Jin's eyes, looking at Chu Jiangnan's still somewhat pale face, she sighed lightly: "Emperor, don't you really plan to go back to Chu State?"

"There are still the crown prince and the second and third emperor brothers by my father's side, as well as the sixth emperor brother and the seventh emperor brother......"

"If you don't go back, what's the point of me staying there alone?" Before he finished speaking, Chu Dingbei protested: "Fifth Emperor Brother, I am the closest to you and the Fourth Emperor Brother, you will all stay in Xuanguo in the future, so I ...... I ......"

"How are you doing?" Chu Jiangnan glanced at him, and now it was a softness that Qiqi rarely saw on weekdays: "Do you also want to come to Xuanguo?" If so, tell your fourth emperor brother as soon as possible, you should know that he will be very happy about this matter." ”

"Naturally not. Cha Chu Dingbei pursed his lips with a look of resentment: "The Fifth Emperor Brother knows that I can't leave my father and grandmother alone now. ”

Several large cities on the northwest border of Chu were taken by the four emperor brothers, and now the national strength has been greatly reduced, and the neighboring countries are eyeing it, if even he is gone at this time, the neighboring countries will not take the opportunity to make trouble, and at the same time attack the Chu State?

At that time, the state of Chu will really be torn apart, which is by no means what the four emperor brothers and the fifth emperor brothers are happy to see, although Chu Xuanchi led the troops to fight his own country, but Chu Dingbei still believes that he is by no means the accumulation of his original intention to trap the state of Chu in danger.

Chu Jiangnan no longer mentioned this topic, and what he said just now was just a joke with him, although the picture of several brothers staying together was indeed very peaceful and moving, but how could he ruin the entire Chu State for his own selfish desires?

The State of Chu, after all, is their country, as for this Xuan Kingdom......

After gathering his thoughts, he looked at Qiqi and said: "There is a banquet tonight, you take the Seven Emperor Brothers around first, let him see the scenery of Xuandu, I and the Four Emperor Brothers will attend at night, if we have something to say, we will talk about it then." ”

"Oh. Qiqi knew that he had something to say to Concubine Jin alone, probably because it was related to what Chu Dingbei said just now, she was inconvenient to disturb, and after telling him a few words to take the medicine on time, she looked at Chu Dingbei and said, "Do you want to look around?"

How could Chu Dingbei not hear the five emperor brothers' eviction order, whether he wanted to leave or not, now he could only leave first.

The two of them left the dormitory one after the other, and it was not until the footsteps outside completely disappeared that Chu Jiangnan looked at Concubine Jin and said lightly: "Erchen saw the concubine enter the secret room of the medicine man's stronghold last night. ”

Concubine Jin was slightly stunned, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

Chu Jiangnan didn't give her much time to react, and continued: "Mother, although the son-in-law is now well, he has never been interested in the affairs of the court, and I also ask the concubine not to think about what she thought back then, let alone do the same thing as back then." ”

Concubine Jin's palm tightened, and her face suddenly changed color.

She stared at Chu Jiangnan, her eyes were indescribably deep and cold, and her indifferent gaze was as if she was looking at the enemy, not her own son.

Chu Jiangnan met her gaze, but his gaze was calm and soft: "Mother forgive me, Erchen just doesn't want to talk to you, Erchen is always the biological son of the mother, and the last thing he wants to see is to be estranged from the mother." ”

"Why do you think that the events of the year are related to the concubine?" Concubine Jin just collected the shock in her heart after being stunned, and when she faced him again, her eyes had already recovered her usual indifference: "The emperor knows that the royal family is most taboo about this kind of thing, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense, frame your mother, the emperor should know very well, such a few words are enough to make the mother concubine fall into a desperate situation." ”

"Mother, there is no one else here. Chu Jiangnan still looked at her lightly, and his words were calm: "Before the catastrophe in the hunting ground, Erchen saw his mother's earrings nearby, which were earrings that Erchen saw from his father when he was a child, and asked his father for his mother's earrings, and his mother liked it very much and wore it until that day. ”

Concubine Jin's eyes flickered, she didn't expect that her son's heart had been hiding so many things, for more than ten years, he could actually endure it until this moment, and this tenacity is rare.

In particular, he was only a ten-year-old boy back then.

I don't know what to think, but after a while, she casually said something painless: "Does the emperor know that there are so many precious ornaments in the hands of the concubine, why do you keep wearing the earrings that the emperor begged?"

Chu Jiangnan didn't speak, it's not that he couldn't guess, it's just that he shouldn't say this kind of thing at this time, he still has a lot to say, warm words, he can't say it at this moment.

Concubine Jin said: "In the life of the mother, the only thing she cherishes is the emperor, even your father and the emperor are not more than Erer in the heart of the mother, in the final analysis, it is dispensable, the emperor should be very clear, the greatest wish of the mother concubine is to see the glory of the emperor's life, always above ten thousand people, the most noble person in the world." ”

Chu Jiangnan's heart was slightly blocked, more than ten years have passed, why, she can't see through it?

"Erchen's serious illness, isn't it enough for the mother concubine to let go of her obsession?" he sighed lightly and said softly: "The mother's wish is not what the son thinks, why can't the mother understand it." ”

When Concubine Jin heard this, her face did not change in the slightest, and she only asked lightly: "What does the emperor think in his heart, but Murong Qiqi?"
