Chu Yuniang lay in the arms of the prince of Shu, crying sobbingly, the more she cried, the more aggrieved she became.

The prince of Shu gently patted her back at first to comfort her, but when he saw that she had been crying, he said, "Good Yu Niang, don't cry." Although it is not easy to see each other now, but you and I can get together today, right? There are eyes and ears sent by the palace on the other side of my house, and even if I can hide for a while, it is difficult to guarantee that I will disappear for a long time, and it will not arouse the suspicion of those ears and eyes. We still have business to discuss, so you wipe your tears first. ”

When Chu Yuniang heard this, she hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears on her face, but she was reluctant to leave the arms of the prince of Shu, and said softly: "Shizi, today, Chu Zhengfang's wife has blocked me several times, if I didn't say that my grandfather was about to move to live in Tongzhou, and I needed to come to say goodbye, maybe she wouldn't let me go." Rao also sent a mother-in-law to follow me, and now he is in the courtyard outside. ”

The prince of Shu nodded, let her go, and pulled her to sit down next to her: "I know." Let's make a long story short in a moment, don't make that woman suspicious. Now you still need the help of Chu Zhengfang and his wife, don't make them suspicious at this time. ”

Chu Yuniang was a little regretful to see that he let go of himself, but she still responded obediently: "Yes." Remembering the big news he had just gotten today, he hurriedly told the prince of Shu, "Chu Zhengfang's wife just told me that the matter of sending me into the East Palace as a concubine is already eyebrows, so I am not allowed to go out from time to time, and I am not allowed to expose my relationship with the Shu Palace." The prince ......" she stopped talking, and her eyes gradually turned red, "I...... Do I really want to enter the palace?"

Let her enter the East Palace, make a concubine for the prince, and give birth to an heir for the prince in the future, which was ordered by the prince of Shu when he met several times before. She was devoted to the prince of Shu, and promised to be happy at the time, but now that the matter is in front of her, she remembers that she is still innocent, from the prince of Shu to the prince of Shu, she has always dreamed of marrying him, but now she can't serve the man she loves, but wants to commit to others, how can she not be wronged in her heart?

The prince of Shu showed a happy expression, and comforted her softly: "Yu Niang, you treat me wholeheartedly, how can I bear to let you down and let you wait for other men? In my house, no one is allowed to enter or leave freely. Even if I have a heart for you, what can I give you? Is it true that you will not be able to see the light for the rest of your life? Even if you can endure it, the Chu family will not be able to bear it! When the Chu family decides on your family affairs, you still don't know where you will marry, and then I just want to see you, and it will be even more difficult! If you can't stay in love, isn't it a tragic thing in the world? But if you are wronged and go to the palace to earn a future, as long as the imperial grandson you give birth to can become the imperial heir in the future, you will have the confidence to restore my freedom! And as long as you and I have higher status, the greater the power in our hands, even if we stay together every day, who will dare to stop us?"

Chu Yuniang lowered her head and listened, her heart had softened, and she said softly: "It's me who is confused." I shouldn't be willful at this time. ”

The prince of Shu smiled: "How come? This is your sincerity to me, I will only feel happy." ”

Chu Yuniang was also happy when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Lord Shizi, let's talk more." Every time we met, we couldn't say a few words in our hearts, and we had to part in a hurry. If I have to enter the palace soon, I will never be able to come to see the prince as I want. I listened to Chu Zhengfang's wife, and it seemed that after today, she would not let me go out again. I don't know how many years it will take before I can meet the prince again, I ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, the prince of Shu held her hands and interrupted her: "You said very well, we have to be careful, we may not be able to meet again for a long time." Now that you and I can talk face to face, I will explain some things to you clearly, so as not to omit anything when others convey it, or leak the news. He took out a purple gold bamboo bracelet from his arms and put it in Chu Yuniang's palm, "You must put this thing away, don't leave it! Don't let others get too close." ”

Chu Yuniang's eyes lit up, and she held the bracelet tightly: "Is this what the prince gave me?" Don't worry, I will definitely put it away, and I will never leave it!

The prince of Shu paused for a moment before he said: "There is a mechanism in this bracelet, you take a closer look, there are a few bamboo joints that are hollow, and there are some medicinal powders in them." He lowered his voice, "These powders are silent and tasteless, and they can quickly dissolve into tea. If you give it to a man, it will damage the essence and make it impossible for him to conceive a woman and give birth to an offspring!"

Chu Yuniang was stunned for a moment before she reacted, looked down at the bamboo bracelet, and felt a little nervous: "What does the prince mean...... Let me enter the palace and drug the prince?"

The prince of Shu nodded and said with a smile: "I can't let other women give birth to the imperial heir and block your child, and I also don't want the royal heir to be confused, so it is safest to drug the prince." You can rest assured, this medicine is mild and will not make people show any abnormalities, which is just right to deal with people like the prince who are already in poor health. He held Chu Yuniang's hand, "In the future...... If you and I have a chance to meet again, I have the antidote here, so naturally I don't have to worry about you not being able to get pregnant......"

Chu Yuniang suddenly understood, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "It is my long-cherished wish in this life to be able to serve the prince and give birth to an heir for the prince......

The prince of Shu smiled and gently hugged her into his arms: "Good Yu Niang, I can't bear you, but it's all for our future ......"

He hugged Chu Yuniang, instructed her a lot of precautions, and taught her how to open and close the mechanism on the bamboo bracelet, repeatedly told her not to be discovered secrets, and finally told her a way to contact "her own people" in the palace, before letting her go.

Chu Yuniang's face was flushed, although her mind was still clear, and she remembered the words of the prince of Shu firmly enough, but at this time, she was already soft, and she was completely fascinated by the prince of Shu, where could she tell the truth from the false meaning in his words?

After instructing the words that should be instructed, the prince of Shu saw that the time was not early, and he had to leave from the secret passage quickly, so he said: "In a few days, someone will rent this house of your grandfather, that is my old belonging, I only found it from Shu a few days ago, and it is quite credible." When you can't get in touch with your grandfather, you can give the letter to the porter. But even so, you have to be careful, the letter needs to be written in the code language I taught you, never reveal the truth, and not use your usual handwriting, so as not to reveal your identity!"

Chu Yuniang nodded with red eyes, and was reluctant to hug his arm, wanting to spend more time with her sweetheart.

The prince of Shu continued to instruct: "If you enter the palace, you can make the appearance of believing in the Buddha and worshiping the Buddha." The queen mother and the crown princess in the palace are both people who are Buddha-oriented, and if you recite a few more Buddhist scriptures, you can also talk to them. When the Buddha's birthday or the big temple is doing a great ritual, you can find a reason, either send someone out of the palace to worship the Buddha, or go out of the palace to pray for blessings in person, it is feasible. Go a few more times, and when we get used to it in the palace and relax our vigilance, we will have the possibility of meeting each other. But you need to be patient, and you must not be impatient! You must know that this is all for our future, and we must not bury our future for the sake of momentary pleasure!"

Chu Yuniang listened carefully, and hurriedly promised: "I will definitely be careful!" and then hesitated again, "That...... If there is another woman in the East Palace who is pregnant with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's child, should I ......"

The prince of Shu shook his head with a smile: "You don't have to do it, someone will do it." On the contrary, you must avoid suspicion, do your best to stay out of the matter, and never get involved in the slightest right or wrong! Only in this way will you have a better chance of rising to a high position when you give birth to an imperial grandson in the future. Now that the crown prince is still in the East Palace, no one can shake the status of the crown princess, but when he ascends the throne as the emperor, any concubine in the harem may be corrected. With the Chu family behind you, you are naturally more hopeful than others, and maybe even the crown princess will help you. Therefore, you must please the crown princess and make everyone in the palace believe in you. The more secure your position is, the better I will be in the future. But if you fail, I'm really hopeless. You have to remember that!"

Chu Yuniang's expression was pale, and she nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, the prince." Even if I die, I won't live up to your request!"

After the prince of Shu finished explaining, he was about to leave. Although Chu Yuniang was reluctant in her heart, for the sake of the "overall situation", she couldn't entangle her sweetheart ignorantly, so she could only watch him get into the secret passage.

She came out of the inner room of the Buddha hall in despair, but found that her elderly grandmother was kneeling on the futon at some point, praying silently to the statue of Guanyin, she couldn't help but blush, and called out: "Grandmother ......"

Grandmother Chu looked up at her with a complicated expression: "Yu Niang, you have to know what you're doing." ”

Chu Yuniang nodded, her expression firm: "I know, grandmother, don't worry, I am willing to do this!"

Grandmother Chu sighed, picked up an inconspicuous Nanmu box from her side, and handed it to her: "This is what I want to give you, some jewelry, silver tickets, and broken silver, you can take it with you." That's all your grandmother can do to help you, and I hope you really know what you're doing. After a pause, "It's not a bad thing to enter the palace, but you have to abide by the rules to last for a long time, don't do things that hurt people, once you do it, you can't go back." You have to know that if you really enter the palace, you will follow ...... With that person, you won't be able to stay together for the rest of your life. Don't be coaxed and get dizzy!"

"Grandmother, what are you talking about!" Chu Yuniang stomped her feet, refused to even take the box, turned around and left.

She returned to the front yard and met Grandfather Chu. Grandfather Chu saw that there was no one around, so he asked her quietly: "Have you been instructed by the prince? You must remember the preferences of all the nobles in the palace, and you must please them! As long as you can give birth to an heir for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and gain a firm foothold, when you have confidence in the future, you only need to say a few words of intercession in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and our prince will be expected to be free again! Even we, the old ministers of the Shu Prince's Mansion, can get rid of the current predicament, and the future of your uncle and cousins is also promising. This is a big deal, and you must be cautious!"

Chu Yuniang's eyes were blank for a moment, and she suddenly heard her grandmother's habitual servant calling behind her: "Sister Yu, what Mrs. wants to give you, you forgot to take ......" She hurriedly took advantage of this excuse to avoid her grandfather's gaze, took the Nanmu box in the servant's hand, and then responded in a low voice: "Grandfather, don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
