Chapter 140
Anti-theft chapter updated and replaced.
Even though Chu Lin's surname is Chu, he is Wang Huan's grandson, if he ascends the throne one day. The one who benefited was the Wang family. Therefore, Chu Xiang's move to let Chu Feige interfere in politics this time is obviously to weaken the power of the Wang family, and at the same time, it also puts Chu Lin's position as the crown prince in jeopardy.
In the Great Chu State, even though there is no precedent for a woman to be the emperor, there is no clear regulation stating that a woman cannot be the emperor.
Chu Xiang's move definitely did not have a little impact on the entire Great Chu State. It had long been rumored that Emperor Yongxiang favored the eldest princess Chu Feige, and even surpassed the prince. Now, this Chu Feige is a woman, but Guan Ming is seriously interfering in political affairs. In this way, whether it is in the DPRK or the common people, there is such a saying.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then the three of them got on their horses and walked slowly towards Shucheng in front of them. At night, the roads in the mountains and woods are not easy to walk, so they naturally want to spend the night in Shucheng tonight, and then head towards Suzhou City the next day.
Cheng Duiyuan left in a hurry this time, and she didn't have anything herself, she only brought some silver out, and only brought one or two clothes that she often wears, and let Xiaocui take the rest back to Chengjiabao. Since you are going to Fugui Village, you have to buy some supplies in Shucheng before going. After all, there is a plague in Suzhou City, and things should be difficult to buy.
After a qiฤ was ready, the three of them found an inn to stay. When opening the room, Luo Lanling only needed two upper rooms, and it was obvious that she was going to live with the woman in black. Cheng Duiyuan knew this in his heart and did not express any opinions.
However, the shopkeeper looked at Luo Lanling with some doubts, and just wanted to ask something, but was frozen back by the cold aura emanating from the woman in black. "She can't see with her eyes, and many things are inconvenient, so I share a room with her to take care of her." When she went upstairs, Luo Lanling said this, and Cheng Duiyuan nodded in understanding after hearing this.
In Suzhou City, the most luxurious restaurant Lanyue Pavilion, a man in a white robe stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking down at the passers-by who came and went.
"Childe, the first batch of supplies has been delivered to Fugui Village, but the soldiers sent still haven't found the missing doctor in the village." After a moment, a man wearing a black night suit suddenly appeared in the room, judging from his actions coming and going, he must be a master with extremely light skills and no low internal strength.
"Yes, I see. Tomorrow we will leave for the village, and I will see what is going on in the village. The man in white said lightly, but his delicate and warm voice was not at all as coarse as a man, but exactly the same as a woman.
"Yes, Childe." The man in black retreated, and the room was calm again. The man in white was still standing by the window, playing with the golden token in his palm. Although the style of the token is simple, it can be seen from the texture that it is made of pure gold. There is a Chu character clearly engraved on it, which is obviously related to Chu Xiang, the emperor of the current Great Chu State.
Look at the man in white, even though he is tall, he is too slender. The waist that can be grabbed almost with one hand from a distance, and the thin shoulders, really don't fit the man's physical characteristics. And the slender willow eyebrows, the delicate โกโก nose bridge and the thin two pink lips, which one looks like a man?
Therefore, this so-called man in white is simply Chu Feige pretending to be!
This time, the reason why she was able to leave the palace was entirely because of the plague in Fugui Village. I thought that the method proposed in the imperial study was foolproof, but who knew that there was a business trip during the implementation. Not only did the doctors sent to Fugui Village disappear without a trace, but even the soldiers sent to search for people seemed to have evaporated from the world without any information.
This thing is really weird. Cheng Duiyuan knew that there were only a handful of people in the court who could make Chu Xiang trustworthy, so he took the initiative to ask Yin to ask to leave the palace to investigate the matter thoroughly. At first, Chu Xiang was very resolute and disagreed. After all, he loved Chu Feige too much, and he was worried that something would happen to her. However, Chu Feige thought that with his martial arts, coupled with those secret guards, there was no danger at all.
"Father, if the ministers can't even go out of the palace to thoroughly investigate the plague, how can they talk about the big things in the future? The matter of Fugui Village is really too weird, and if it is not thoroughly investigated, it will be a trouble sooner or later. Father and Emperor are in a hurry, and he has already overworked, so please let his sons go to investigate this matter, Xiaoge will definitely protect himself and will not let himself be a little bad. โ
At that time, Chu Feige swore to Chu Xiang like this. And Chu Xiang also agreed to Chu Feige's repeated requests. Only twenty guards were sent with him, and no other troops were sent. It can be said that this time Chu Feige's trip to Fugui Village was completely confidential. Chu Xiang once told her that unless it was a last resort, she must not show her gold medal at will and leak her identity.
The reason why Chu Feige asked Chu Xiang to send him out of the palace to investigate this matter thoroughly was not without selfishness. It has been twenty-one days since Cheng Dusk's farewell. Although it was only a short period of more than twenty days, for Chu Feige, it seemed like twenty-one years.
In the palace, except for Chu Xiang, she no longer had anyone to talk to. However, the matter between himself and Cheng Dui, and the relationship with Cheng Dui, should not be talked about to Chu Xiang. No one knew how uncomfortable she felt in her heart, every night when she slept alone on that cold bed, Chu Feige would be so scared that her whole body trembled and cried.
She knew that if Cheng Duiyuan didn't take the initiative to find her, she might not be able to find that woman for the rest of her life. How long is a lifetime? This year, she is only fourteen years old. For a lifetime, it was strange and distant to her. If Cheng Dusk Kite was by his side, even if it was a lifetime, Chu Feige believed that he would not feel long.
But now, how do you want her to live without Cheng Duikite?
The wound on his forehead had healed, and the imperial doctor said that there would be no scarring. Chu Xiang asked himself again and again what caused the injury, and Chu Feige only said that he accidentally bumped into the table. However, as the king of a country, Chu Xiang is so smart. He saw that Chu Feige had something to hide from him, but he didn't force her to ask.
During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, Chu Feige didn't know how he survived. The external injuries on her forehead, as well as the internal injuries after the night she went mad, were all physical torture on her. However, the wound of the heart is the torture of the soul. It hurts the most, and it hurts the most. Bowls of bitter medicine poured into her mouth, and she only hoped that these medicines could also heal the wound on her heart.
"Where are you, Iris? Now, I'm out of the palace, but I still haven't heard a word about you. This Great Chu Country is big, how about it, to be able to see you again? Chu Feige muttered, but his eyes were red. She laughed to herself as she wiped away the tears that were about to overflow with her sleeves, and she knew that she couldn't always be so weak.
Crying can only be the behavior of the weak.
Cheng Duiyuan and his entourage, after leaving the inn, rushed all the way to Suzhou City. As the city of Suzhou, the distance of Shucheng is not very far, but there is a mountain in the middle of it, and it is a little obstructive to turn over, so it will delay some footsteps. Even so, the three of them rushed to Suzhou City before dark.
