Chapter 290: Who Counts Whom
In the past six months since Su Ye went on the expedition, Su Yanran has gotten closer and closer to Chu Meiluo, and with the acquiescence and matchmaking of the Yang family, the relationship between the two is just a layer of window paper.
If it weren't for Su Yanran's lack of time, Chu Meiluo probably couldn't help but gnaw on this piece of fat a long time ago.
"Brother Merlot, I, I'm afraid ......" Su Yanran pursed her lips, her eyes were red, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of anything that happens." Chu Melo gently hugged Su Yanran, and Su Yanran leaned on his arms, a pair of lovebirds.
"Buddhism is pure, and they haven't married, so they don't know how to be honest!" Chu Yunyi stood behind the wall and looked at the two people who hugged each other as soon as they entered the temple gate, and sneered. "Chu Melo is really getting bolder and bolder now, and he doesn't hide it in front of so many people."
Ban Feng looked at it, not too surprised.
"Lord, let's go back to the house, the eldest princess told you not to show up, otherwise Lingyin Temple will definitely bleed today."
Chu Yunyi's thin and dull face was tense, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.
Why didn't he know?
In order to hide his whereabouts, the imperial aunt has sacrificed many elite guards, and even exposed a force she is hiding in the capital.
"Well, let's go back." Chu Yunyi took a deep breath and suppressed the unevenness in his chest.
Ban Feng glanced at Chu Yunyi's clenched hands, and blood flowed out between his fingers, obviously he was clenching too hard, and his nails were carved into the flesh and blood.
Chumerlo, I remember all the humiliations you have given me.
We'll see!
Lingyin Temple.
The eldest princess did not come out to greet Chu Melo herself.
Even if Chu Meiluo is now the identity of the prison country, it is not enough in Chu Jin's eyes.
Chu Melo looked at the grandmother who was leading the way in front of her, and her face was not very good.
This imperial aunt dared to put up a shelf for herself while hiding in the temple! If she ascends to the throne of God in the future, will she still have to save face in public?
Rather than having hidden dangers in the future, it is better to get rid of them quickly.
Eldest princess, can't stay!
"Third Prince, please wait here, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is chanting and praying inside, praying that my Dasheng army will repel the army of Lingyun Kingdom in one fell swoop." The old lady said very respectfully, and sighed after speaking. "Hey, the eldest princess starts kneeling before dawn every day, I'm afraid this body will be unbearable!"
Chu Mello's face became better when he heard this.
"The imperial aunt really has a heart, and the grandmother should persuade the imperial aunt more, after all, the age is here, and the body and bones must not be as tough as when she has been practicing martial arts before."
The old lady smiled, a little sad. "Why don't you persuade the old slave, it's just that the eldest princess is that stubborn, hey......"
With another sigh, the old lady lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.
Didn't the third prince mean that he wanted to test the eldest princess?
"Knock ——!"
Suddenly, there was a sound in the chanting hall.
"What's going on?"
"Eldest princess? Are you okay? ”
The old lady called a few times but there was no sound, and several people looked at each other and quickly pushed the door in.
"Eldest Princess!"
I saw Chu Jin lying on the futon, his hair spilling out, hanging weakly on his shoulders, and his face was very pale!
"Someone! Come on, people! ”
For a while, there was a mess in the chanting hall, and the maidservants and monks outside were panicked when they saw the eldest princess fainting, and they were in a hurry.
Chu Meiluo pulled Su Yanran to stand in the hall and watched coldly, except for the perfunctory anxious look on his face, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
After tossing for a long time, she finally pressed the eldest princess into the room, and the eldest princess's accompanying medical officer gave her an injection before she gradually improved.
"Third prince, look at this situation...... The eldest princess is afraid that she will not wake up for a while, you are now in prison, and you are very busy, why don't you come back another day? Mama secretly wiped away her tears, but Chu Melo was unmoved.
"Mama said this is too angry, I came today to visit the imperial aunt, and now she is an old man, how can I ignore it and turn around and leave?" Chumelo was 100 percent sorrowful. "Filial piety comes first, national affairs are important, and I can't neglect to care for my family because of this, right?"
"My father's stubborn illness is still not improving, I am already exhausted, and I am struggling to support myself, if the emperor's aunt has three long and two short now, I am afraid that the court will be out of balance in the future!"
This sounds like nothing, but the old grandmother's eyes are bright.
Didn't the third prince say this to say that if the eldest princess was not sick, if she was safe and sound, it would definitely pose a threat to his rule?
sneered in his heart, and pretended to be a filial son, but he was actually a white-eyed wolf!
Mama didn't respond, Chu Melo sneered, thinking that she was weak-hearted.
At this time, Chu Jinqian let out a whisper. "Mama...... Water...... Drink ...... water"
The old woman's face lit up, and she hurriedly poured into the water.
Helping Chu Jinqian to sit up, Mama felt that the back of her hand was pinched by her, and when she looked down, she met Chu Jin's eyes full of dark light.
I felt a sigh in my heart.
The eldest princess is afraid that she will hear Fang Cai's words!
Hey, although the eldest princess has always been strict, but the relationship between the children is real, and now I hear that the third prince is so unpleasant, how chilling it should be!
"Aunt Huang." Chu Meiluo leaned closer and carefully observed Chu Jin's complexion.
"Merlot is here." Chu Jinyan choked twice while drinking water, waved his hand, and asked Mama to step aside. "Good boy, come, let the imperial aunt see if she is too tired to supervise the country these days, and everyone has lost a lot of weight."
"Don't be tired, it's the duty of your sons to share your father's worries." Chu Meiluo didn't smile, and felt that Chu Jinqian just wanted to sarcastically say that he couldn't supervise the country.
"Aunt Huang, my nephew will set off in a few days and lead his troops to Pingcheng."
Chu Jin's face was surprised. "No, if you go, who will be in charge of the government?"
Chu Melo smiled. "The imperial aunt doesn't have to worry, the nephew has already been arranged, everything in the court is respected by the prime minister, Lord Fan and a few Shangshu lords will assist him, and the nephew's expedition this time is bound to win, and he will definitely be able to sweep away all the remnants in my Dasheng territory and pacify the frontier within a few months!"
Hearing this, a trace of mockery almost invisibly crossed Chu Jin's eyes.
As a martial artist, she knew this nephew's physical fitness very well.
Marching to fight?
He couldn't stand it.
I'm afraid that it will take more than half a month to stop all the way to Pingcheng, and by the time he really arrives at the battlefield, it is estimated that Su Ye has already fought his way out of the encirclement and pursued all the way.
And then this nephew is going to say that he is helpless to pick up the bargain in the back?
Hehe, go and pick up military merits in vain, this abacus is really loud!
"Aunt Huang, these days when my nephew is not in the capital, I also ask my aunt to take care of the situation in Beijing for me."
"Mellot, of course my aunt would like to say that, but for now...... Ahem...... Aunt is afraid that her body is coughing and coughing...... "Chu Jinqian is not an acting school, and in the face of Chu Meiluo's fake words, she almost couldn't act, so she could only cover her mouth and pretend to cough.
"Hey, auntie, your body is important, let's drink medicine first!" Chu Meiluo gave a look, and Su Yanran immediately went to serve the medicine.
The medicine jar is boiling in the house, and you don't have to go out of the house at all.
Chu Jin looked at Su Yanran's stiff back, and his eyes sank.
"I haven't seen the children of the Su family for a few days, I didn't expect them to grow up so much, Merlot, has the marriage of the two of you been decided?"
As soon as Chu Jin opened her mouth, Su Yanran, who was extremely nervous, almost couldn't hold the spoon steadily.
"Not yet, Yanran is still young." Chu Meiluo was actually not comfortable in his heart, and he tried his best to obstruct this matter, saying that he could only let Su Yanran be a side concubine no matter what.
But for the position of side concubine, Su Yanran must be unwilling, and she is not happy, after all, Yanran is his childhood sweetheart, the most intimate villain.
"Can't get engaged at a young age? Merlot, don't grieve anyone. Chu Jin glared. This child's sister is my righteous daughter, so her identity has to be raised, and when I am well, please join the emperor, and also make her the identity of a county lord, and then personally assign you a marriage, how about it? ”
Hearing this, Su Yanran's whole person lit up.
Princess! Personally ask for marriage!
It's what she's always dreamed of!
If this is the case, she will no longer have to be pressed under Su Yue's coldness, she Su Yanran will finally have a bright future!
Thinking of this, the movements in her hands immediately stopped, and she looked at Chu Melo expectantly.
The eldest princess has this heart, so how can she still harm her?
Chu Melo is also entangled, if he can marry the county lord, it will be more beneficial to his rights and reputation, but ......
Turning her head to look at Su Yanran, Chu Meiluo shook her head slightly, her fingers moved and she gestured, and Su Yanran could only purse her lips and bow her head.
"Eldest princess, please drink the medicine." Su Yanran lowered her little face, and reluctantly stepped forward with the medicinal soup, and took a closer look, her hands were shaking.
"Good boy, really sensible." When Chu Jinyan took the medicine bowl, I don't know if it was because Su Yanran's hands were shaking and nervous, so she spilled some soup.
Chu Jinqian watched the medicinal soup drip on the bracelet, turning into a cloud of ink in the turquoise, and his eyes were extremely cold.
It's all over this, and he still insists on it?
After drinking the decoction with his sleeves, Chu Jinqian was no longer in the mood to talk to them.
Wave your hand. "I'm tired of this palace, you can go back."
Chu Meiluo looked at the medicine that he drank to the bottom, and he was light. "That nephew will come back another day." Collect your body.
"Mama, send-off."
"Yes."
When the people left, the old lady hurriedly ran back to the house, and saw Chu Jinqian sitting calmly.
"Eldest Princess, your body—"
"It's okay, I'm all in the dark sleeves." Chu Jinyan looked at the bracelet in his hand, and his cold gaze softened slightly. "I didn't expect this bracelet given to me by Yue Leng to really come in handy one day, and I didn't expect that the first person to let me use it would be my own nephew!"
"Then you're not worried that they're giving you an immediate-onset poison?"
"Chu Melo cares about his reputation, and he definitely doesn't want to be called a cruel elder, so I believe that this poison is a chronic poison, at least until they return to Beijing, it will definitely not attack." Chu Jinqian poured out the medicine in the dark sleeve. "Show the doctor what kind of poison it is."
"Yes."
Chu Jinyan took a deep breath, and his heart was extremely sad.
"My good nephew...... Your aunt has given you so many opportunities that you don't want to seize, so don't blame your aunt for not being affectionate. ”
