Chapter 857: Face Saint
The prince had a calm face, he was not yet an adult, and he couldn't rely on marriage to help a family to help him, which was very unfavorable to him, and now that Chu Jingshuo had become a thief, Jing Song naturally peeked at the Wing King with Jing Ruixue, and after that, there was a Duanwang with a wooden fish head behind him, which should not be underestimated.
Originally, Chu Muhan had no one to help him, but Yun Jinglan's life experience now had no intention of adding wings to him, who could be quite the daughter of the despised Yunfu Lady everywhere, who would actually be the daughter of the King of Zhongzhou?
But the prince is not stupid, he doesn't want to add icing on the cake to Chu Muhan at this time, now who in these four countries doesn't want to form an alliance with Zhongzhou, but unfortunately no one in Zhongzhou looks down on him, if Tianyue can marry Zhongzhou because of a cloud, then Chu Muhan's status will be even more raised.
He knew these things in his own heart.
Because of these elites sent by Lou Xiao, the way Queen Li was buried, Chu Qirui couldn't sit still even if he wanted to do anything, so he had to watch Chu Muhan running around in front of them.
Before Yun Jinglan left, the bad rumors about her in the market gradually cooled down, so that no one asked now, Chu Muhan was originally worried that she would be upset because of these things when she came back, and he didn't want the rumors to go faster than he imagined, and the prince didn't have the leisure to re-spread the rumors, after all, he Chu Muhan didn't care.
He still underestimated the relationship between them too much.
After Empress Li was buried, he led Yun Jinglan back to the Hades Mansion to rest for a few days.
When they got up and went out, they found that the dead leaves in the courtyard had begun to fall, Yun Jinglan stretched out her hand to catch a fallen leaf, and the breeze hit, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Autumn has arrived so soon, this year she first went to Nanxun to participate in the enthronement ceremony of Nanfeng, and then was taken away by Chu Jingxuan and taken to Liuzhou, and then she went back and forth to Zhongzhou, most of the time she was in the carriage, and now it is rare to have a moment of peace She is really a little dazed and tired.
From Nanxun's Chu Guifei, to Aunt Hong, to the Queen Mother, and then to Queen Li, she has witnessed a lot of deaths along the way, but she still can't avoid feeling a little sad, so there is a sad and lonely sentence since ancient times, no, she can't stay like this anymore, otherwise sooner or later she will be more sentimental.
She has to prepare to leave for Zhongzhou, the people sent by Lou Xiao followed all the way to the imperial capital, presumably Chu Muhan's identity will not be a secret after she goes back, this time they don't have to hide anything, just go back openly.
Chu Muhan thought about it, so he went into the palace hand in hand with her.
After dealing with Empress Li's funeral, Emperor Chengqi's eyes were cloudy, and even the two of them knelt on the ground and couldn't see it really, Yun Jinglan got up and looked at him with some concern, and then got Chu Muhan's nod to agree before he mustered up the courage to say to Emperor Chengqi: "Father, let the sons take the pulse for you." ”
Emperor Chengqi did not refuse, put his hand on the table, and the chamberlain sensibly put a silk silk on his wrist, Yun Jinglan reached out at this time, fortunately, Emperor Chengqi's body is not seriously problematic, all functions are normal, but he is a little tired, and after all, small pains and illnesses are indispensable when he is old.
She smiled, "My father's body is fine, it's good to rest, so many things have happened recently, presumably my father's is also very worried, and the sons and daughters will prepare some ginseng pieces for their father, and they will be used to make tea more on weekdays." ”
Emperor Chengqi nodded, "It's still your filial piety." ”
She walked to Chu Muhan's side, but she wanted to speak and stopped.
After holding up and putting down the silk scarf, he glanced at the two of them, "You didn't come to the palace just to take my pulse, right?" What else? ”
Chu Muhan stretched out his hand and pulled Yun Jinglan and knelt on the ground, "Father, my son is here to hope that my father will allow my son to go to Zhongzhou here." ”
Emperor Chengqi naturally frowned, "Didn't you just come back from Zhongzhou?" That place is so good, even my son and daughter-in-law can't forget it? Now that the alliance of the four countries has not retreated, we are still in an antagonistic relationship with Zhongzhou, do you think Zhongzhou will easily let you go? ”
"Father, please rest assured, this matter Erchen has already prepared, when Erchen won the first place in the literary test at the birthday banquet of the King of Zhongzhou, the King of Zhongzhou promised to give his son a wish, and he couldn't agree to the matter related to the safety of the people of Zhongzhou, but it was not difficult for me to enter Zhongzhou, right?" Yun Jinglan's life experience is still not to be said, although Emperor Chengqi will not be ruthless enough to threaten the king of Zhongzhou with her life, but more is better than less, who knows if there are spies on Tianyue's side, in case it reaches Zhongzhou, it will not sound good.
"Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being, then if you want to return to Zhongzhou, you have to give me a reason, because of King Wei? You've been there for so long, but have you ever seen him? ”
Chu Muhan nodded, Emperor Chengqi was a little surprised, although Zhongzhou is a country in the sea, it is not a place with a big palm, you can see it when you see it, "Not only have I seen it, Erchen is the leader of the literary test, he is the leader of the martial test." ”
"You can't beat him?" After asking Emperor Chengqi, he knew that he had lost his words, if it was Chu Muhan before the poisoning, how could Chu Jingshuo be his opponent, now that he was disabled, how difficult it was to defeat Chu Jingxuan.
Chu Muhan didn't mind, the residual poison on his body was almost cleared, not to mention that he was not such an invincible person, he had been abandoned for a long time due to physical reasons for so many years, so naturally he couldn't study and practice Chu Jingxuan diligently.
"Father, this time, it is not all because of King Wei that the sons want to go to Tianyue."
"What else?"
"About the concubine."
When it comes to Concubine Jin, Emperor Chengqi is naturally trembling, what does Concubine Jin have to do with Zhongzhou?
"Your mother, isn't she ......?"
"Yes, the mother concubine may be from Zhongzhou, and the princess's biological mother Aunt Hong died of a poison from Zhongzhou, the son thought that this matter was no coincidence, so he suspected the cause of the death of the mother concubine, maybe the mother concubine did not commit suicide at all, she and may have died of the same poison in the same Aunt Hong, and must be inquired clearly, and forget that the father and the emperor can be fulfilled." He sighed inaudibly.
Emperor Chengqi suddenly stood up, didn't Concubine Jin commit suicide? He has felt guilty for so many years, and has always thought that it was because of his distrust that she was heartbroken and ended her life, he didn't care if she was from Zhongzhou or Hanxing, since she entered the palace, she was his Tianyue's person, and he absolutely could not tolerate the forces from Zhongzhou who murdered his concubine.
"Okay, you go check it out, and if you need my help, just ask."
"Thank you, Father!" Chu Muhan stood up excitedly.
