Chapter Seventy-Four: I Can't Say Anything About Suffering
When he went down to the early court, Chu Nanyue noticed the look in Donglinyan's eyes looking at him.
She frowned, knowing that she couldn't hide, so she simply stood there and waited for Donglinyan to find her.
It didn't take long for Dongling Yan to really walk up to her side and said with a smile: "General Chu is a clever trick, did you know in advance that I would talk to General Chu?" β
"Why does His Royal Highness King Qi come so politely again? It's better to say what you want to say. Chu Nanyue said simply.
"If you are not mistaken, today is the first time that the second brother has been in court in the past month. I don't know where he has been since this month? Dongling Yan asked.
Chu Nanyue knew that he was asking knowingly, but he didn't mean to answer.
Probably because Dongling Yan felt bored, he continued: "General Chu is really a good means. In the capital, King Yu did such a thing that endangered the people, and we didn't even know it. I'm ashamed. β
Although they were brothers, there was almost no brotherly affection in Dongling Yan's tone, as if he wanted to find out something from her.
And Chu Nanyue listened to what Dongling Yan meant, and Dongling Yan already knew what had happened. Even if the emperor did not publish all the information, his spies had already found out.
Chu Nanyue frowned and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi doesn't need to praise, if you say that you find something, it's a coincidence." If it weren't for the fight between the villagers of the two villages in Pingjiang, the last general would not have had the opportunity to find out about this matter. β
"Good life high-sounding statement." Tanglin Yan clapped his hands and praised.
He looked at Chu Nanyue's eyes with exploration, and there was a trace of self-righteousness.
Dongling Yan said softly: "General Chu, it turns out that you don't like me here, but you have already found another good place to go and be a good backer." β
"What does His Royal Highness King Qi mean by this?" Chu Nanyue's voice was cold.
Chu Nanyue couldn't help but feel ridiculous. Donglin Yan will be the same as Dongling Hong, and invisibly classify her as Dongling Shuo's person. It seems that as long as she Chu Nanyue didn't stand on their side, she chose Dongling Shuo's side.
"Compared to us, General Chu admires Sixth Brother more, doesn't he?" Tanglin Yan said to her firmly.
"If you talk about appreciation, I do appreciate His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince even more." Chu Nanyue did not deny it.
But he turned to say: "But what does this have to do with my Pingjiang water case?" β
Dongling Yan heard Chu Nanyue's meaning, but his heart fell for the most part. Since Chu Nanyue was not really involved in Donglin Shuo's command, he still had a chance.
So Dongling Yan said: "It seems that General Chu is quite reasonable. I know that my sixth brother is not the best place to go. β
Chu Nanyue felt slightly uncomfortable because of his tone. I heard Dongling Yan enumerate the situation in Beijing: "The Zhao family, the Xie family, the Xu family, the Chu family, and now the four major families in the capital." But General Chu should know that since General Chu has severed ties with the Chu family, the Chu family cannot return. As for the Xu family. General Chu just happened to be offended. And speaking of the Xie family......" Dongling Yan laughed. "Xie Yinhua, the daughter of the Xie family, doesn't seem to have a good relationship with General Chu."
Chu Nanyue listened to his step-by-step analysis, and waited for his final conclusion.
I only heard Dongling Yan say: "Among the four major families, only my Zhao family is still friendly with General Chu." And if you want to really gain a firm foothold in the court, there is no family care behind you. General Chu lacked something after all. β
"His Royal Highness King Qi seems to be talking about it in a clichΓ©." Chu Nanyue's eyes were clear, and her tone was casual, "But the last general is not as leisurely as His Highness, and he has no time to chat with His Highness." β
"No, no, no. Today, I am not here to persuade General Chu to ally with me. "Tanglin Yan changed his words." I just want General Chu to know. Among the four families, only my Zhao family can really be trusted. Other families are prosperous on the surface, but useless on the inside. Perhaps General Chu has already seen it clearly today. β
Chu Nanyue knew that Dongling Yan was talking about Dongling Hong, but he was also too arrogant and devalued the other three families.
Not to mention the Chu family, which is the most disadvantaged, it is also the family of the prince. Although Chu Nanxuan is not angry, after all, Jingninghou is still there, and with Jingninghou in charge, the Chu family will not fall.
Besides, the Xu family, Concubine Duan is naturally more favored than Concubine Hui. Tanglin Hong is also currently more powerful than Tanglin Yan.
As for the Xie family, it is the queen's mother's family, and in the early years, it was supported by the emperor as a poor family, and its roots are deep.
"His Royal Highness King Qi is confident in the Zhao family." Chu Nanyue said indifferently.
Dongling Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Chu Nanyue with deep meaning: "Isn't General Chu also very confident in himself?" β
After speaking, Dongling Yan turned around and left.
Back at the General's Mansion, before Chu Nanyue could take a break, Qingshuang greeted him.
Chu Nanyue was nervous for a while, thinking that something had happened again. But listening to Qingshuang's smile, he said mysteriously: General Chu guess, what happened to the Chu family? β
"What?" Hearing that it was the Chu family's business, Chu Nanyue was not in the mood.
Although she let Qingshuang be in charge of occasionally paying attention to the movements of the Chu family. But that's just in case. Now that there is really news about the Chu family, she has lost interest.
I only heard Qingshuang say slowly: "General, the Xu family has the intention of marrying the Chu family." β
"Marriage?" Chu Nanyue repeated. She wasn't too surprised, but she had a sense of realization.
Yes, because she withdrew from the marriage at the beginning, the Chu family offended the Zhao family. The relationship between the Chu family and the Zhao family is not as good as before.
Shou Anhou's face couldn't hold it, maybe he really wouldn't choose to marry the Chu family again.
Then the only object that the Chu family can choose, and the object that they want to choose, is the Xu family.
If you talk about the Xu family, with their usual arrogance, they probably don't look down on the Chu family at all. After all, the Chu family is not prosperous, and Chu Nanxuan is even more useless, which is a joke among the children of the capital family.
But after Chu Nanyue's toss this time, the Xu family's power is very weak, and Dongling Hong lacks those helpers around him, and he has a lot of constraints. And if the Xu family wants to gain more power through their in-laws, they can only lower their horizons.
Among the four major families in the capital, although the Chu family is slightly weaker, it is not without merit, probably because of this, the Xu family chose to marry the Chu family.
Chu Nanyue understood these truths, but she didn't think about these, but Chu Nanxin. Chu Nanxin loves Zhao Jingyu deeply. If the Xu family really proposed, would Chu Nanxin be willing to marry into the Xu family like this?
I'm afraid that the current Chu family, in order to persuade Chu Nanxin to marry Xu Qingchang willingly, has already become a pot of porridge.
As Chu Nanyue thought, in the Chu Mansion.
Second Lady Chu was sent by Marquis Jing Ning to persuade her.
Now the Xu family only mentioned this matter implicitly, because Tanglin Honggang had an accident, everything should not be too public, so the two families did not make a public announcement.
"Xin'er, the Xu family is also a relative of the emperor and has a noble status, and Xu Qingchang is also a talent, why don't you want to marry?" Second Lady Chu said worriedly.
"Mother! Don't you know anything about my mind? "Chu Nanxin is really bitter and can't say it.
