Chapter 624: Accident
Chu Junlan raised her eyebrows, got up lazily, her long hair hanging down on her shoulders, slightly messy: "It seems that the sixth prince performed enough last night, and it will be the turn of others." ”
As expected, after last night's dinner, the ministers of the court and the central government will have some guesses about the selection of the crown prince, among the several princes of Emperor Jinghong, it seems that the most favored is the sixth prince, after moving the capital, If the courtiers who have some thoughts want to stand in line, they have to think about it.
Zi Yan and Zi Yuan served Chu Junlan to make up, changed into a new makeup jacket, put on silver fox fur and shoulders on the outside, and said with a smile: "The black chicken soup is hot on the stove, you can eat some and go to the prince and princess to say goodbye." ”
Chu Junlan's appetite was still not very good, but she always knew what she needed to do, so she nodded: "Take the medicinal diet house I wrote earlier to the small kitchen, and let them prepare it." ”
"Hey." Zi Yan nodded, and happily trotted out to command.
In just a moment, breakfast was served, with eight exquisite side dishes, a bowl of fragrant and thick japonica rice porridge, and a cup of black chicken soup, all of which had been boiled and boneless.
Chu Junlan ate, pressed his acupuncture points for a long time before holding back his vomiting, got up and went to say goodbye to the prince and princess.
When he went out, Chu Junlan directly put on soft deerskin soft boots, although they didn't match the clothes on his body, but they were light, the weather in Huaijing was wet and cold, a layer of sleet fell on the ground, and a thin layer of ice formed in the early morning.
All the way to the landlord across the courtyard, Prince Gong had already gone out, and only the two princesses Zhang and Cai were at home. Chu Junlan and the rest of the sons and daughters generally performed the junior ceremony.
Princess Cai sneered: "Now you are very noble, and it is so perfunctory to see your mother-in-law." ”
Chu Junlan naturally knew why Princess Cai was proud, if the Cai family wanted to produce a prince, Princess Cai's status in the palace would be even more transcendent, and naturally she didn't look down on her background, and her family background was false.
Without waiting for Chu Junlan to answer, Princess Zhang already smiled and said: "Sister Cai's words are serious, the Chu family is pregnant now, these first few months are the most difficult time, seeing that her thin wind is about to fall, as a mother-in-law, she naturally has to be more tolerant, in the future, Sister Cai is pregnant, and I will never criticize you for this." ”
As he spoke, he asked the maidservant to bring a brocade and sit on Chu Junlan.
Princess Cai tightened her teeth, and squeezed out a smile for a while: "Since ancient times, there has only been Sister Zhang, a rare virtuous person in ancient times, and as a mother-in-law, she doesn't set rules for her daughter-in-law to have a good life, and don't look for someone to cry when she turns around and is trampled on her head." ”
Princess Zhang sneered: "This doesn't bother Sister Cai." ”
Aunt Lu and the rest of the concubines and beauties looked at each other, and they didn't say much, after being placed under house arrest by the prince of Huai'an, these concubines who rarely even saw the prince once on weekdays were much more restrained than before.
Chu Junlan only sat at Princess Zhang's place for a while, and then said goodbye and returned to Linlang Garden.
Zi Yan helped Chu Junlan and said in a low voice: "In recent days, Princess Cai has become more and more domineering. Does she really care what the prince thinks of her? ”
"The emperor has just moved the capital, and the prince has a lot of things to do, so naturally he can't take care of Princess Cai."
Chu Junlan is also very tired in her heart, she is now pregnant, she has more worries, she can do whatever she wants like before, she tries to avoid trouble when she encounters problems, and Princess Cai is always looking for provocations, which is boring.
At noon, Chu Junlan was just about to take a lunch break, and a message came from outside: "Concubine Huishi, someone from outside asks to see you, saying that there is something important, and I want to tell you about Young Master Chu Huayun." ”
Chu Junlan blinked in surprise.
Zi Yan frowned and said: "After Aunt Sun died, Young Master Yun rarely interacted with you, but went to the eldest young master's house more often, so I don't know what the matter is." ”
"Invite someone into the side hall, and you'll know when you see it." Chu Junlan gave an order to the outside, and then dressed neatly and helped the hands of the two maids to go out.
There was a charcoal basin in the side hall, but it was only arranged by Xu Cai, and the temperature in the room was not high. A tall young man was turning around like ants on a hot pot, and when he saw Chu Junlan coming in with the support of the maidservant, the man hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Prince Gong's princess." ”
Chu Junlan looked at this person and saw that he was really familiar, the last time Aunt Sun besieged the Chu family with mountain bandits, Chu Huayun brought a few brothers to protect him, and this one was among them.
Chu Junlan said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, and I haven't asked the name of the strong man yet, but thanks to your help last time, my family can be safe and sound." ”
The young man's face was black and red, and he saluted: "I can't afford the thanks of the princess, the villain Duan Juyun, and Chu Qian have always had a lifelong friendship, and this time I came rashly, there is really no other way but to come to you." ”
Duan Juyun's face became more and more uncomfortable, and he looked at Chu Junlan very worriedly, and there was a kind of apprehension of ordinary people seeing the royal family and nobles.
Chu Junlan was puzzled and asked, "Brother Duan, what's the matter, but it's okay to say it." ”
Duan Juyun was afraid that Chu Junlan would regret it, and his speech was as fast as a splash: "That's the case, since Mr. Chu Qian was promoted to an official, he took his brothers to do a lot of practical things, and everyone was very convinced of Mr. Chu Qian, but this time he came to Huaijing, and he was inexplicably arrested within a few days, saying that he had made something wrong and was tortured, and he didn't have a good skin on his body when he came to the camp tent." ”
"What did he do wrong?" Chu Junlan asked with a twisted eyebrow.
Duan Juyun shook his head: "We don't know, I asked Mr. Chu Qian, but he refused to say, I wanted to ask the doctor to treat his injuries, but I didn't want the doctor to wait for him, and the wound medicine allocated by the military doctor didn't have time to use it, so someone came to take him away, this time it's even more strange, so far no one has been gone for four or five days, and there is no news at all." ”
The more Duan Juyun said, the tighter his brows wrinkled: "Princess, I'm just afraid that something will happen to Chu Qian, if someone in Huaijing can save him, it's only you." ”
Chu Junlan pursed his lips and nodded. Although Chu Huayun's biological mother, Aunt Sun, is not a good person, Chu Huayun has reformed and treats Chu Huating with great respect, in the end, he and the original owner of her body are also sisters, and she naturally can't ignore it if something happens.
"I know, I'll order to investigate."
Seeing Chu Junlan agree, Duan Juyun smiled in surprise: "Really? In this way, Chu Qian will be saved! ”
Chu Junlan smiled: "I will do my best, this time thanks to you for coming to report the news." ”
Duan Juyun shook his head again and again, and his face became more and more red after being thanked, and he could see that he had always been such a thin-skinned red-faced man.
Chu Junlan thanked him again, asked people to take Duan Juyun down, and turned around and asked Zi Yan to call Huo Yeqing.
"You go and find out, when did my brother Chu Huayun arrive in Huaijing, I heard that something happened to her, what happened."
"Yes." Huo Yeqing immediately nodded and was about to go out.
Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and thought about it, and hurriedly stopped him: "You have to be careful, it's best to do this quietly, too many people have been called to find out." ”
