Chapter 45 Sister vs Sister 45
"Doesn't the Yiguo Mansion prepare meals for Mrs. Gu?" Opposite the second prince, a certain lady who was feasting was eating fragrantly, half a roast chicken, a bowl of bird's nest, and she didn't stop, and continued to attack shrimp dumplings, she had a good appetite.
"Barbaric and vulgar, no rules, starving ghost reincarnated" Chu Hua drank the soup in small sips, and was very disgusted by Chu Ci's appearance.
Chu Ci took a bite of the fragrant shrimp dumplings, the cook in the second prince's mansion was delicious, and he was very satisfied in his heart, ignoring Chu Hua's sarcasm, her secrets were too many and should not be exposed, but there was a sad look on her face,
"Alas, the prince is busy trying cases, getting along with that slut day and night every day, and eyebrows at me, instead of looking at people in the house, it is better to look at my grandmother here, not to mention, I have something to discuss with His Highness today"
The second prince lowered his eyebrows, his gloomy eyes narrowed, and the current situation was very unfavorable to him.
The third brother found out the fraud case in the imperial examination and won the emperor's heart, and the eldest brother was regarded as guilty of the anger of the people in the world, and was completely excluded from the ranks of the heirs.
Originally, according to his plan, he took the military power of the northwest into his hands, and used Chu Ci to master the secret guard, slowly arranged, and won without a fight, but now the third brother has risen suddenly, and he is deeply favored by his father, and the courtiers praise him.
Yesterday, I received news that the third emperor's younger brother was crowned Prince Qizhu, and he entertained the nouveau riche of Kyoto in the mansion, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Gu Yu, Li Heming, etc., were all on the list.
This is very terrible news, which means that my father has a favorite candidate for the crown prince in his heart, not the eldest brother, nor him, but the third brother.
Even if the second prince tried his best to suppress his anger and grievances, there was still a bit of dissatisfaction poured out, the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, it was too late, he had to make a decision as soon as possible, and he didn't expect that in the next second, a ladder was handed to him.
"I'll show His Highness something" Chu Ci took out a thick stack of account books, and looked at the second prince with sympathy, because of his background, he was used by the emperor as a whetstone to temper the eldest prince, and now that the eldest prince is abolished, the emperor has brought out the third prince, and he is still a whetstone.
"What is this?" The second prince turned to the back, and the more surprised he became, the eldest emperor's brother embezzled 500,000 taels, and the huge number of officials involved was jaw-dropping.
On the surface, the honest and honest three princes colluded with the eunuchs, spied on the emperor's traces, meddled in Cao Yun, poisoned more than a dozen students, and blamed the eldest prince.
"What do you want?" The second prince calmed down his mood, he still underestimated the woman with a shallow smile on the other side and no offensive power.
"Although Chu Ci is a woman, he can't watch the Chu family being wiped out, I hope that the second prince can ensure the safe return of his father" Chu Ci glanced at Chu Hua meaningfully.
"Okay, this king promises"
Return to Miao Tang Temple
Chu Ci took off his heavy coat and waved his fan vigorously, "It's hot, but it's finally done."
Moshu held a bowl of smoothies, "The kitchen made a red bean smoothie, Mrs. eat it quickly to relieve the heat"
"Your Majesty Xuan Shizi entered the palace, and he hasn't come back yet" Mo Qi skillfully calculated, recently his wife went out every day, and all the accounts in the house fell on her head, and she was tired to death.
"I'll take a nap for a while, and when the prince comes back, tell me" Chu Ci ate half a bowl of smoothie, suppressing the dryness in his heart, in the past two days, he has been acting every day, mixing half-truths and half-truths, and finally won the trust of the second prince.
No emperor wants to see his son kill each other for that chair, the third prince should not use Shangshufu as a raft, I hope the second prince will not let her down.
In the afternoon, Gu Yu returned to the mansion, "Madame is back?" ”
Moshu was holding a plate of cold cakes, "Mrs. is taking a lunch break in the room, and she hasn't woken up yet."
Gu Yu took off his robe, lifted the curtain, half lay on the couch, and a certain cat who was sleeping in a daze, sniffed the familiar smell, and hugged him in his arms, "I'm back"
"Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"No, it's just a little sleepy."
"Haven't used your lunch today?"
"I ate too much in the morning, and now I'm nauseous and don't want to eat"
"The bait has been released, just waiting for the fish to take the bait"
In just two sentences of Chu Ci, Gu Yu already understood the meaning, the Yiguo Mansion and the Chu family are in-laws, and they should avoid suspicion, if Gu Yu intervenes, he may arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and it is most appropriate to let the second prince intervene in royal affairs.
Gu Yu originally planned to use the third prince to rescue the Chu family, but he didn't expect Chu Ci to do better, so he lowered his head and dropped a kiss on the woman's eyebrows, "Sleep, I'm here"
The next day, above the court, the second prince publicly exposed that the third prince framed Chu Shangshu, brutally killed the students of the imperial examination, and blamed the eldest prince.
And the eldest prince who was imprisoned suddenly appeared, went crazy, drew his sword and pointed at the third prince, "You hurt me"
The cold sword that sharpened the iron like clay pierced the shoulder and elbow of the third prince, cutting off half of the third prince's arm at once, and the blood gradually fell to the spot.
"Presumptuous"
On the Jinluan Palace, the scene of the three brothers fratricidal wounds made the old emperor angry and half dead, "Imperial Doctor, quickly treat the three princes"
"Father, the son didn't mean it, please spare me" The eldest prince was splashed with blood, and when he came to his senses, he did something stupid, and knelt down with a disgraced face.
"Your Majesty, the third prince's arm is broken, and he has no power to return to heaven, and the old minister is not good at learning, so he begs His Majesty to atone for his sins" The Tai Hospital trembled for the first time, for fear that the emperor's anger would burn on his head at once.
The third son was abolished, and the old emperor was furious, "The eldest prince made friends with traitors, embezzled and corrupted, killed each other, came to people, stripped his title, degraded him as a commoner, guarded the imperial tomb for life, and was not allowed to go out for a step"
As soon as the old emperor finished punishing, he saw that the second prince seemed to be smiling, and he was even more disappointed in his heart, "Punish the second prince for copying the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times, and he will be sentenced to three years, and from now on, he will be confined in the house, and he will not be allowed to go out without an edict"
Chu Shangshu was acquitted, the Chu family finally resigned their grievances, the ban on the gate was lifted, and Chu Ci immediately ordered someone to clean the house and invite the old lady back.
Chu Family Health Hospital, headed by Chu Shangshu, the family is old and young, respectfully "Thank you for the grace of Miss II for saving your life"
It was the first time for Chu Ci to receive such a heavy gift, and he was shocked for a moment, and stepped forward to help Chu Shangshu up again and again, "Father, what are you doing here, tormenting your daughter?"
Chu Shangshu was imprisoned for ten days, as if he was ten years old, in the officialdom, how could he not know that he was the first scapegoat, if it weren't for Chu Ci running day and night for the Chu family, now the Chu family is only afraid that the house will be raided and destroyed to calm the anger of the people in the world to cover up the truth.
"You are the benefactor of the Chu family, no matter how big the gift is, you can afford it, second girl, thank you for your hard work"
"Master, the eldest lady asks to see," Wang Shan's chief manager said, his tone was not good.
"Drive that evil obstacle out, don't allow her to enter the Chu family for a single step, and don't allow her to use the reputation of the Chu family to deceive outside, in the future, whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with my Chu family" Chu Shangshu held on to the chair and panted.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law walked away hand in hand, and when Chu Ci came to the courtyard of the second brother, he smelled a pungent smell of wine.
"Second brother, are you alright?"
Chu Ci opened the envelope, and it read, "Brother Chu, the family has a marriage for me..."
The wine jars on the table were all empty, Chu Xuan was dressed in coarse linen clothes, as if he had lost all his light, holding the wine bottle and dreaming drunkly, "Jiayun, married"
"Ahem... She's going to marry someone else" Chu Xuan said a word, choked on the wine in his mouth, and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes, how much effort did he put in in order to marry the woman he loved, why, just a little.
"Vomit~" Chu Xuan lay on the corner of the table and spit out.
"I'm going to drink, I'm going to drink"
Chu Ci thought of the sunny and cheerful young man when she first wore it, and then looked at Chu Xuan now, so he angrily picked up a scoop of cold water and poured it on his head.
"Is the second brother going to be decadent like this?"
"Now Sister Jiayun is just married, and she hasn't gotten married yet, second brother, cheer up a little, maybe there is still room for things to turn around, you give up now, let Sister Jiayun do her? Alone to face it? ”
"Do you want to watch her marry someone else, or get drunk, cheer up, find the person who loves you, snatch her back, and be happy for the rest of your life"
"Second sister, I'm so uncomfortable" Chu Xuan sobered up a little, and leaned in the direction of Chu Ci as a gesture.
"Second brother, don't let me down, for the sake of Sister Jiayun, you must cheer up"
Chu Xuan walked in the endless darkness, as if he heard a word, breaking through the night and smashing him awake.
"Jiayun, I'm going to find her"
As he spoke, he staggered to his feet and rushed out.
Chu Ci was dumbfounded, "Second brother, you are so tidy up and then go to Sister Jiayun, this image is too ugly, beware of Sister Jiayun's empathy and don't fall in love."
chased people out of the mansion, but he didn't catch up, but was waited by Chu Hua, who was hovering at the door.
"Chu Ci, you are very proud" The Chu family was pardoned, Chu Hua's heart was not what it felt, his father hated her and drove her out, but Chu Ci was treated as a guest.
Chu Ci stopped, looked at Chu Hua walking slowly, and said coldly, "Killed Lu Zhengqian, the champion of the new department, killed his father in prison, killed the Chu family and almost wiped out, harmed the Fei family, harmed Fei Changyan was imprisoned, and killed so many people, have you ever felt guilty?" ”
"You, what are you talking about, I don't understand?" The blood on Chu Hua's face was completely lost, and her heart was extremely flustered, and those things that she deliberately ignored surfaced little by little with Chu Ci's questioning.
"The champion of the previous life was named Lu Zhengqian, a talented man who made the "Song Order", he, he died"
"No, it's not my fault, I just want to live well, it's not me who killed him" Chu Hua subconsciously resisted his subconscious acceptance of this truth.
Chu Ci saw that she was self-deceiving, stubborn, and angry, "Don't you feel ashamed yourself, don't you feel ashamed?" It's really selfish and disgusting, I wonder how you live in the world with a thick skin? "
