Chapter 441: Deep Love
Emperor Jinghong was extremely moved for a while, and only then did he misunderstand that Chu Junlan wanted to ask for a decree to give her to others, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and his tone became gentle.
"Chu Junlan, I will give you another chance, you think about it carefully, now Xu'er's situation is not good, to tell you the truth, I can't recognize him, Prince Gong has a grudge, and he won't be really good to Xu'er, what is the situation in the palace, I think you know very well, if Xu'er doesn't wake up for three or five years, you have to take care of him for three or five years, if you don't wake up for the rest of your life? For the sake of your sincere consideration of Xu'er, I will give you a chance to regret it. ”
Emperor Jinghong is not a foolish person, who can sit in this position is not ruthless? Chu Junlan knew that he could ask the greatest kindness, if she really repented, she was afraid that she would enjoy the bumpy second half of her life in the future - which emperor would allow his son to be disliked?
But Chu Junlan is really for Xiao Xu, he doesn't want anything, and he is not afraid of the harsh environment of the palace at all.
"The emperor's good intentions and courtiers have received it, but the courtiers have made up their minds, and they ask the emperor to give them marriage, and the quasi-courtiers will enter the palace as soon as possible to take care of the son." Chu Junlan knelt down upright and kowtowed solemnly.
Emperor Jinghong lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Junlan, his eyes were complex and gentle, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Xiao Xu is a hard-working child, when he knew that Xu Mo had slipped the fetus, he thought that his child was no longer there, and later learned that Xu Mo dyed and gave birth, only when she and Prince Gong had a husband and wife.
She gave birth to someone else's child, and it was natural for him to completely let it go and ignore it.
It's just that he didn't expect that his child had been alive all the time, he had been a fool for more than ten years, living a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs in the palace, and after growing up and recovering, he showed such outstanding talent, no wonder he liked that child so much, just seeing him felt fond of it.
He also once thought that maybe it was because Xiao Xu looked like Xu Moran that he would always be happy when he saw him.
I just don't want to, it's the child that Ink Dye gave birth to for him. But before he could recognize the boy, he fell.
When he opened his eyes, Emperor Jinghong sighed: "That's it, I will allow you to marry Xiao Xu on the sixth day of the first lunar month." In the past few days, I will arrange for the attendants around me to go to the palace to take care of them. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Junlan gave a grateful salute.
Emperor Jinghong sighed and bent down to help: "That's it, get up, you have a deep love for Xu'er, I understand it in my heart." Although I can't recognize Xu'er, you are also my daughter-in-law, and I have a lot of last resort, I just hope that you can take good care of Xu'er, and if there is anything that cannot be solved, you can come to me. ”
"The courtiers obey." Chu Junlan bowed down, but he would not take Emperor Jinghong's words seriously.
The real prince Emperor Jinghong didn't pay much attention to it, let alone Xiao Xu, who was not recognized?
Emperor Jinghong arranged for Li Defang to send Chu Junlan back to the Maoguo Mansion and passed the decree by the way. He also ordered Zhao Lu to take people to Prince Gong's mansion to pass the decree, and stayed in the palace to take care of Xiao Xu until the marriage.
When Chu Junlan returned home, it was already early in the morning, and the family had just dispersed, and Xu and Chu Hua had just returned to Zhiyuanzhai.
Hearing that Chu Junlan was personally sent back by the great eunuch in the palace, Xu and Chu Hua hurriedly put on their robes and hurried out.
"Father, mother." Chu Junlan took three steps and made two steps to get closer, and just as he was about to salute, he was hugged by Xu.
"Good boy, it's good to come back, it's good to come back," Xu patted Chu Junlan's back and found that the already slender person had lost a little weight again, and said distressedly, "I've been suffering from you these days." ”
The Chu family already knew about Xiao Xu's affairs, although they didn't know the bottom line of affection, they also knew that Chu Junlan would definitely be having a hard time these days.
When no one cares, she has to be strong if she is not strong, but as soon as she gets home, Xu Shi doesn't ask anything, just give her a warm embrace and sincere comfort first, Chu Junlan can't hold back the anxiety in her heart anymore, and tears gushed out uncontrollably.
"Mother."
The cat barked, and then gritted his teeth and said nothing, but Xu knew that Chu Junlan was crying.
Such a strong child didn't blink an eye when he encountered strong winds and waves, but now he was helplessly shedding tears, and Xu also burst into tears.
Chu Hua sighed, and politely led Li Defang to the front hall to speak, Chu Junlan was afraid that Chu Hua would object, so he also wiped his tears and helped Xu Shi to follow in.
"Lord Chu, the emperor's will orders Miss Chu and Prince Gong to marry on the sixth day of the first month." Li Defang sighed lightly, "There are still five days to go, so hurry up and prepare." ”
Chu Hua sighed in his heart, as a courtier, he could only obey the order, but his heart was full of questions.
Isn't Xiao Xu still getting better, how could the emperor suddenly give him a marriage?
Chu Junlan was afraid that Chu Hua would say too much, so he explained: "Father, this matter was only granted by the daughter who went to ask the emperor. Xiao Xu is unconscious now, he has no one to take care of him in the palace, I really don't feel at ease, so I went to take a look, the situation is really ...... Not so good. I thought about getting married as soon as possible, and I would like to go over and take care of it nearby. ”
“…… You kid. "Chu Hua can't say much in front of the inner servant.
Li Defang also knew that the Chu family had something to say, so he got up and said goodbye: "Lord Chu." Our family has to go back to the palace to restore their lives, and the emperor is still waiting. ”
"I'll send my father-in-law."
"You stay, you stay."
Chu Hua politely sent Li Defang out of the door, turned back, and asked when he entered the door: "Sister Lan, what's going on?" These days, the gossip in the capital has gone crazy, and they all say that the prince is actually the emperor's child, how could the prince suddenly vomit blood that day? What's going on here? ”
Chu Junlan did not hide it at all, and explained all the details to Chu Hua and the Xu family.
"I just went to the palace, they didn't allow me to enter the main gate, I had to climb over the wall, and when I got to the Shizi house, I found that there was no warm kang in the house, and there was no charcoal stove in the house, Xiao Xu was lying in a single dress, not even a quilt was covered, there were two old women in Princess Zhang's house wearing thick cotton jackets eating wine and food, and Prince Gong arranged six or seven guards in the courtyard, and no one was allowed to approach."
Chu Junlan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with his nose in his pocket: "I see that Prince Gong is about to go crazy with hatred now, but he doesn't dare to do anything to the emperor, so he can only use Xiao Xu to be angry, the people around Xiao Xu have been arrested and locked up by Prince Gong, if I don't care, Xiao Xu will probably be tortured to death by them." ”
"But if you marry, you may be a widow for the rest of your life!" Xu grabbed Chu Junlan's hand and shook his head again and again.
"No, no, my mother can't agree, Xiao Xu doesn't know when she will wake up, if she doesn't wake up, you have to protect him to make a living in the palace, what kind of place is the palace? Although Princess Zhang's father is only a member of the criminal department of the fifth grade, she has children and daughters, how deeply rooted is she in the mansion? There is also Princess Cai, there is the Cai family behind you, with the support of Concubine Shu and Mrs. Hanmei, you have always been at odds with His Royal Highness the Sixth and Concubine Shu, not to mention that there are other sons and young ladies in the house, do you have to live a hard life when you go? ”
