Chapter 576: A New Battlefield
"Although Princess Zhang and Princess Cai are separated, more than a month has passed, and everyone should be able to do it this time."
Chu Junlan moved a comfortable angle on Xiao Xu's shoulder, his cheek pressed against his soft clothes, and his voice was lazy.
Xiao Xu bowed his head and rubbed his chin against her forehead: "It will take a while for my side to do things, and when the time comes, I will finish with the last group of entourage in the mansion, and you will leave for Huaijing to settle down first, okay?" ”
Chu Junlan is actually a little reluctant to be separated from Xiao Xu, these days they have to stick together every day as long as they have time, even if they don't do anything, just snuggling up to each other and reading quietly together can make her feel comfortable. At first glance, where is Chu Junlan willing to separate?
It's just that Chu Junlan has always been rational and knows what he should do when.
Xiao Xu rarely asked her to meddle in what he was doing, but she could see that Xiao Xu was very busy and tired during this time, and it was difficult to solve the private affairs, not to mention the errands in the prince's army? Since Xiao Xu had already mentioned it, it was a deliberate decision, and she just had to believe him.
"Okay, I'll get ready tomorrow. Anyway, it wasn't long before we met again. Chu Junlan raised his eyes and smiled at him.
Xiao Xu also laughed, and couldn't help but tighten his arms tighter, and cherished the kiss on top of her head.
The two embraced each other in silence for a long time, and Xiao Xu said: "Huaijing is now a hot place, and there have long been relatives of Emperor Xu and the family of noble and high-ranking officials who have secretly made arrangements, and the king of Huai'an has been rooted in Huaijing for a long time, where the relationship network is very anti-chaotic, and the local snake is even more difficult to deal with. ”
"Got it," Chu Junlan smiled briskly, "I'm not a troublemaker, we have moved, I am also going to live, and I still have business to do, why should I be bored?" Anyway, the prince has already been deployed in Huaijing, so I just have to listen to the prince's orders. ”
Xiao Xu smiled: "Actually, the deployment of the prince in Huaijing is also limited. ”
"Oh?" Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, pulled Xiao Xu to sit up straight on the side of the Luohan bed covered with a light green mattress: "But what's the new news?" ”
Xiao Xu bowed: "Indeed, the king of Huai'an and the prince have been parting with each other for a long time, and the emperor wants to move the capital, which is moving the interests of the king of Huai'an, and the king of Huai'an naturally resists in order to protect his own interests." In addition, the king of Huai'an is a local snake, and it is not good to tear his face with the emperor head-on, so he has to arrest someone to open the knife. ”
"So he chose the prince?"
"Exactly," Xiao Xu said in a low voice, "The news from my people, the two princes have different positions, and the fight has already reached a white heat, and the king of Huai'an has done everything he can to order someone to pretend to be a bandit to attack the prince." ”
Chu Junlan was shocked when he heard this.
Prince Gong was assassinated, and she originally doubted whether there was such a thing, but now it seems that it was her heart.
"But I heard that the Cai family has made a lot of efforts to build the palace for the emperor, and there must be people from the Cai family in Huaijing, in the end, Princess Cai is the daughter of the Cai family, even if you look at the relationship between in-laws, the Cai family should secretly support the prince, right?" Chu Junlan was puzzled.
Xiao Xu smiled, smiling approvingly, talking to a smart woman like Chu Junlan was just effortless.
"You're right, it should be."
"Oh? Is that actually not the case? Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, then fell into deep thought, and after a while, a flash of inspiration flashed, "Could it be that the Cai family refuses to help the prince?" ”
Xiao Xu bowed his head and frowned slightly: "That's true, the Cai family now fully supports Concubine Shu and His Royal Highness." ”
Chu Junlan saw Xiao Xu's tangled look, and then thought of Xiao Xu's bowl of "medicine primer" after being poisoned that day, but anyone with some status may already know that Xiao Xu is actually the son of Emperor Jinghong.
The Cai family supported Concubine Shu and the six princes, not to do charity, what they wanted was to let the six princes sit in that seat in the future and let Concubine Shu be the queen mother.
The emperor has many heirs, and Xiao Xu was born to be loved by Emperor Jinghong, and many people are speculating that the emperor may have plans to let Xiao Xu recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Once the emperor recognized Xiao Xu's identity, the six princes had one more competitive opponent.
How could Concubine Shu and the Cai family allow the throne to fall on someone other than their family?
Therefore, under the influence of Concubine Shu and the six princes, the Cai family would have been kind if they did not stab Prince Gong secretly.
Now with the full support of the Cai family, I don't know what the six princes will become.
Chu Junlan smiled: "It seems that the prince's life in Huaijing is also very nervous, I know, I will be cautious when I go to Huaijing." The sixth prince is now busy with the errands in his hands, and he is very happy to catch people, he doesn't come to mess with me, and I don't bother to deal with them, but I pity Princess Cai, and she is used as a rafter. ”
Xiao Xu didn't care about Princess Cai at all: "The family has a choice, if she doesn't want to use Concubine Shu to bully you, she won't let people take advantage of it." ”
Princess Cai has done a lot of things outside of eating and drinking, but now the Cai family has chosen Concubine Shu and the six princes, it seems that they have given up Prince Gong, and naturally they have also given up Princess Cai.
Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu's ears and temples rubbed for a while, and then went to order people to prepare for departure.
Before leaving, Chu Junlan went to visit Chu Huating and Xiang Yixin, and went back to the Maoguo Mansion again.
Unexpectedly, when I went home this time, Mao Guogong was also in the house.
Chu Junlan smiled and saluted both Mao Guogong and the old lady: "My granddaughter is here to leave today, and she will leave for Huaijing tomorrow." ”
Mao Guogong and Chu Junlan were not familiar with each other, and there was a difference between men and women, so he only nodded slightly.
However, the Duchess of Maoguo took Chu Junlan's hand and was reluctant.
Xu's eyes were also a little red, but fortunately, she had the bottom in her heart, and explained Chu Junlan in a low voice: "Don't worry, our family will move after a while, and there will be more opportunities to meet at that time." ”
Chu Junlan asked in a low voice, "Really?" Decided? ”
"Not yet, but your grandfather is coming home, and everything is coming soon." Xu smiled.
Chu Junlan also put his mind at ease. It is good to know that at such a critical moment, the Chu family will not disobey the emperor.
Chu Junlan left tomorrow because he didn't wait for dinner. When he went out, he squeezed his eyes at Lu Ruohan, who was already dressed as a woman.
Lu Ruohan's face was flushed when she teased her, but she still smiled and sent her out with Chu Zhan.
In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, Chu Junlan planned to set off when the city gate was opened.
Xiao Xu stuffed the hand warmer into Chu Junlan's hand, and said worriedly: "It's all my delay, the weather is cold now, and I am afraid that I will suffer on the road. ”
