Chapter 436: Assassination

The top priority now is to find out if Chu Xinying is really pretending to be stupid. Qin Xue Chuxue found that Chu Yufei was distracted, so she gently touched Chu Yufei's arm with her hand, but Chu Yufei came back to his senses but did not speak.

Qin Xue Chuxue asked someone to clean up the things on the floor just now, and the maidservants in Jingde Hall saw Chu Yufei coming in angrily, and knew that the third prince was in a bad mood today, and no one wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun. Just now, the people shirked for a long time before they hurried to clean up the mess.

The maidservant in charge of cleaning stared at the floor the whole time, not daring to raise her head. Everyone knows that the three princes are short-tempered and moody, and today I don't know what makes the three princes so angry, the three princes have never had the same good character as the seventh prince.

However, Chu Yufei hates others to compare himself with Chu Xinying the most in his life, which is a taboo in Chu Yufei, even if he has this kind of thought, the maidservants just think about it.

When the maid finished cleaning the floor, Qin Xue Chuxue waved her finger and motioned for the maid standing next to her to come to her side. Qin Xue Chuxue sat on the chair, and the whole person looked decent and dignified. Qin Xue Chuxue said: "You go to the imperial dining room to keep an eye on it, and ask the master of the imperial dining room to cook a few more good dishes for the third prince to eat at noon." ”

The maidservant agreed to come down, and just as she was about to walk to the imperial dining room, she heard Chu Yufei's voice: "There is no need to eat, I have something to go out now." Saying that, Chu Yufei had already left Jingde Palace. Qin Xue Chuxue was just about to ask Chu Yufei where he was going, but he only saw Chu Yufei's back.

After Chu Yufei left his palace, he went to Empress Lin's bedroom. Queen Lin couldn't eat because of the unsuccessful election, so she kept lying in bed to rest. Empress Lin's personal maid saw that it was Chu Yufei who came, and informed Empress Chu Yufei of the situation, saying that the queen was not feeling well and didn't want to see anyone.

Chu Yufei said that he had something important to report to the queen, and Queen Lin's personal maid decided to go in to help Chu Yufei report it.

As soon as Chu Yufei entered, he saw Queen Lin lying on the huge bed. Chu Yufei immediately ran to the bed, held Queen Lin's hand and asked, "Queen Mother, are you okay, why are you lying on the bed?" ”

Queen Lin was covered with a hand-embroidered quilt at random, and the hairpin in her hair had not yet had time to be taken off, even if she was lying on the bed, she gave people an aura that could not be ignored.

As soon as Queen Lin saw her son, most of her anger disappeared. Chu Yufei told Queen Lin all his concerns without reservation. Empress Lin was shocked and said: "No wonder I thought Chu Xinying was a little wrong before, but I couldn't say what was wrong, now I think about it, Chu Xinying should usually pretend." ”

The two of them analyzed Chu Xinying's previous affairs and suddenly understood that Chu Xinying was so young when Chu Xinying's mother died, and in order to save his life, he could only pretend to be stupid and stunned, so that he could survive. At this time, Chu Yufei completely understood that Chu Xinying was pretending to be stupid.

Chu Yufei asked again: "Why are those ministers all looking at Chu Xinying, could it be that they already knew that Chu Xinying was not sick?" ”

Empress Lin was woken up by her son's words, it seems that the emperor has long known that Chu Xinying is pretending to be stupid, just to protect him, he has been pretending not to know, but secretly he has been cultivating him as a future prince, this Chu Xinying is too scheming. One person has played so many of us around.

The two of them finally confirmed that Chu Xinying had been playing dumb for so many years. Empress Lin suddenly remembered that Chu Xinying's mother was the most favored concubine by the emperor, and the status of the harem concubines could hardly surpass her, and she and she were the best sisters when she first entered the palace.

But because he was jealous of Chu Xinying's mother, he only wanted to get more power, and he took advantage of Chu Xinying's mother's trust in him and killed her.

Soon after this incident, Queen Lin became the queen and used her relationship to suppress the matter.

In order to conceal this matter, Empress Lin killed all the people who knew about it at the time, and the emperor wanted to investigate the matter at first and bring the murderer to justice, but the people involved died or disappeared one after another, so that the investigation could not start, and then there was no way to do it.

Queen Lin never expected that she missed one person in the matter back then, and that was Chu Xinying. Chu Xinying was also involved in this matter back then, but Chu Xinying was too young at that time, and Chu Xinying became stupid after the death of her mother. Empress Lin didn't pursue it too much.

Chu Xinying has suffered humiliation for so many years in order not to let others find out that she is pretending to be stupid, and it is common for her to eat bad leftovers. Another time, Chu Xinying was put in a pigsty and forced to grab food with the pigs, but Chu Xinying endured it.

Chu Xinying's only wish is to find out the truth of the year and let the murderer bury his mother, which is also the only reason to support him to live for so many years. He was careful to endure in this prison only for the sake of his mother. But all this changed after meeting Qin Xue Chuhan.

Qin Xuechu was like a glimmer of light, illuminating Chu Xinying's dark life for more than 20 years. Qin Xuechuhan's optimism and cheerfulness gave Chu Xinying the motivation to live, and Chu Xinying couldn't help but want to live well, even if she continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

He just wanted to do his best to protect this girl, Chu Xinying didn't want Qin Xue Chuhan to be hurt a little more. Chu Xinying wants to always accompany Qin Xue Chuhan, grow up with her, and grow old with her.

At night, the owl stood in the treetops and keenly observed the situation in the imperial city, and the brocade guards patrolled the palace over and over again. The palace, which was already quiet, was even quieter at night, and I am afraid that the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly at this time.

Suddenly, a dark figure leaped over the city wall and walked on the roof. This man in black is strong in martial arts, wearing a hat, and his face cannot be seen clearly.

The man in black came and went freely in the heavily guarded palace with his excellent light skills.

I saw the man in black walking to Queen Lin's bedroom in three steps and two steps, and while the night was thick and no one was paying attention, the man in black climbed in through the window.

Although Queen Lin had already taken off her headdress, she hadn't changed her clothes, as if she was waiting for someone......

Chu Yufei's hands began to tremble involuntarily when he heard his mother say this. Chu Yufei spared his life, thinking that he still had a good year and didn't want to be planted in Chu Xinying's hands.

Chu Yufei was restless and paced around the hall. Chu Yufei couldn't help but say to his mother: "Queen Mother, what are you going to do next, I'm still so young, I don't want to die yet." ”

Empress Lin played with the jade ring she was wearing, and said, "The queen mother won't let you die, and the dog that is not well disciplined should be killed." As he spoke, there was a fierce look in his eyes.
