Chu Mingcui knelt on the ground, her face pale.

As smart as she is, how can she not know how to play this chess game of grandfather?

To my grandfather, she was already a discarded pawn.

She was full of grief and indignation, and she didn't care about the etiquette, so she asked coldly: "I'm afraid that my grandfather doesn't want me to be this princess of Qi, right?" I don't know who my grandfather has found? Mingyang? ”

"You don't have to worry about it, just do your part." Chu Shoufu didn't frown.

"Why?" Chu Mingcui said hatefully: "My granddaughter just did one thing wrong, why did my grandfather abandon me?" I went outside the city to distribute porridge, which is also what my grandfather meant, if you insist on being responsible, grandfather, you are the ......"

The four words of the culprit stopped alive, and no matter how brave Chu Mingcui was, he didn't dare to say these four words.

However, Chu Shoufu said coldly: "The culprit? That's right, you open a porridge shed, Bo Xian's name, it's all the meaning of the old man, but unfortunately, you don't succeed enough to fail, you open the porridge shed widely, send it for a few days, there are people in Beijing who praise you, why do you go to Mrs. Liang and Princess Rui? In everything you do, you have to be foolish, for fear of wasting your efforts in vain and taking shortcuts. If you have one thing to do in a down-to-earth manner, it will not be like this today, since the emperor was seriously ill, and you pretended to use the old man's words to threaten Mama Xi, the old man had the intention to abolish you, just thinking that after all, he was the granddaughter of his relatives, and gave you one more chance, but unfortunately, you don't know how to cherish it, and now that something happens, you want to escape the blame with pregnancy as an excuse, and you don't have any responsibility, how can you be the princess of Qi? The old man will never allow you to ruin the reputation of King Qi. ”

Chu Mingcui was full of grief and indignation, "But I am your own granddaughter, you think about King Qi, why don't you think about me?" ”

Chu Shoufu stared at her, "Because, King Qi is the grandson of the old man, and he also has the opportunity to be the Ming Jun that the old man will support in the future." ”

Chu Mingcui laughed, smiling sarcastically, "It's a pity, it will disappoint you, King Qi has no intention of being a prince, and he has no ability to be this prince." ”

Chu Shoufu's expression remained unchanged, "That is also his creation, I can't complain about anyone, if he doesn't succeed, then the king of Chu." ”

After Chu Shoufu finished speaking, he got up and left the study, leaving Chu Mingcui in the study full of grief and indignation.

She originally went back to her parents' house to ask for help, but it turned out that the most ruthless person was not an outsider, but a grandfather.

How ridiculous.

What's even more ridiculous is that he actually said that if the king of Qi is not successful, then the king of Chu.

But when she heard him say that she would support King Qi with all her might, if it weren't for his words, how could she be willing to give up Brother Hao to Yuan Qingling, a slut?

She walked out slowly, and at the door, Chu Shoufu's attendant was standing.

He said expressionlessly: "Princess, Lord Shoufu explains, let you do what he wants, and he can guarantee you the position of Princess Qi." ”

Chu Mingcui was furious and slapped him, "Dog minion, you dare to say these things to me?" Do you even look down on me? ”

The attendant didn't dodge or dodge, he was born, and still said without any expression: "The princess walks slowly!" ”

Chu Mingcui left angrily.

All the way back, she was shocked and angry, racking her brains, and couldn't think of a way to counteract.

She wasn't stupid enough to go against her grandfather.

However, if the grandfather wants to find a daughter from the Chu family to replace her as the princess of Qi, it will not be so easy.

Before getting off the carriage, the anger and cruelty on her face were completely gone, and she was replaced with a gentle and guilty look.

She ordered her maid to go to the kitchen to get soup, and she personally brought it to King Qi.

When King Qi saw her, he remembered her words and deeds today, and was silent for a while.

Chu Mingcui walked in, put the soup on the table, walked over and sat down, and looked at King Qi.

King Qi could only look at her and said, "You're back?" ”

She nodded slightly, opened her lips and said softly: "I want to enter the palace tomorrow." ”

King Qi didn't know what she was going to do for a while, so he just hummed and didn't speak.

Chu Mingcui's eyes were slightly red, tears flowed, and his voice was slightly choked, "I did something wrong, I want to make amends, in fact, in the past two days, I feel very guilty, and I don't know what to do, I have been drilling the horns, I am afraid that I will hurt your reputation because of what I have done, and I am afraid that you will be punished by my father, so I will do everything possible to avoid responsibility, I really thought I was pregnant, but it turned out to be just a farce, I really regret entering the palace early to report it." ”

She took a breath, raised her head slightly, and stubbornly forced her tears back, "So, I decided to enter the palace tomorrow to ask for guilt and take my share of responsibility." ”

These words were unexpected by King Qi.

He looked at her, and there was sadness, guilt, remorse, self-blame, and stubbornness in her eyes.

King Qi held her hand and said, "Don't worry, this king will intercede for you." ”

"Hmm!" Chu Mingcui burst into tears, but forced himself to squeeze out a smile, which made people feel distressed, "Thank you for believing in me, I ...... today." I don't know why I said that, I'm really crazy. ”

King Qi relieved: "Everyone will have emotions, the matter outside the city is so big, your intentions are good, but you don't want to cause this kind of consequence, so the father will understand, and he will also treat you lightly." ”

Chu Mingcui lowered his head, buried it in his chest, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you for still believing in me." ”

King Qi stroked her hair for a long time before he said softly: "This king naturally believes in you, you are my princess." ”

However, his eyes were glazed.

He didn't know whether to trust her or not.

He's not a fool.

From what Chu Mingcui said today, it can be seen that her mind is on the position of the crown princess, and the fanaticism in her eyes and the contempt for him in the end cannot be disguised.

On the contrary, gentleness can be disguised.

It's just that he hopes in his heart that she is real at the moment.

"If you really want this king to compete for the crown prince, this king is willing to do his best, but whether it succeeds or not, it is not something that this king can control." King Qi said.

She raised her head, her eyes shining, "It's not that I want you to compete for the crown prince, I just believe that you will become a virtuous monarch, so if you work hard, your grandfather will definitely help you." ”

King Qi smiled, but his heart slowly sank.

He knew he wasn't, and she knew it.

This is too false.

Cui'er is very smart, and at the same time she understands the situation, she will know what the risks are in the fight for the crown prince now.

She didn't show any concern, just told him to fight for it.

The fetters in her eyes concealed the flame of ambition.

He never believed Yuan Qingling's words, but now he sadly found that she was right.

King Qi didn't know what to do, and his heart was very confused.

He has an almost demanding perfection of feelings.

If the feelings are tainted, or if there is any utilitarian component, he will feel as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
