Chapter 184: I want to return to Beijing
For half a month, there was no movement at all in Chao'an Temple, and even the side of King Chu Muzhi of Qin had been quiet, as if he was waiting for something.
There was no movement in this Chao'an Temple, but there was already a lot of discussion in the court.
"Lord, there have been many ministers in the court who have complained about your stay in Chao'an Temple, a few days ago, Ping An Bo mentioned the matter of rediscussing the prince in the court, and he was blocked back by Xu Sheng and Zhang Ge Lao just after opening his mouth. This has happened several times......" Chang Lu said as he cautiously looked at Chu Muzhi's expression, "Moreover, recently, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has frequently been in and out of Xu Sheng and Zhang Ge's old mansions, and his subordinates feel that the prince has put aside the affairs of Chao'an Temple and returned to Beijing to preside over the overall situation?" ”
It has long been rumored in the capital that King Shen has taken a fancy to Princess Yan, and what is even more outrageous is that there are rumors that the father of the child in Princess Yan's womb is King Shen. Although these rumors are just chasing after the wind, but for a person who is about to be set up as a prince, it is a taboo, not to mention that King Yan is now not cold, just the identity of Princess Yan, who is not only a married woman, but also the younger brother and daughter-in-law of King Shen, such an identity is a stain that cannot be washed away for King Shen. He privately thought that a smart person like King Shen should not make such a mistake, but now ......
Chu Yanzhi's slender eyes slowly swept towards Chang Lu, Chang Lu shuddered, and subconsciously lowered his head.
"What this king wants to do, it's not your turn to dictate."
"Yes, yes, the lower official has said a lot." Chang Lu said continuously.
King Shen's mind is really becoming more and more elusive, and the gentle and warm fourth prince behind the original prince is really a world of difference, knowing that he is so difficult to get along with, he should not have gone to this troubled water in the first place.
Chu Yanzhi glanced at Chang Lu indifferently, then got up, didn't look at him, turned around and walked out.
After Chu Yanzhi's figure disappeared, Chang Lu slowly straightened up and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
Chu Yanzhi walked out of his room and walked directly in the direction of the small courtyard where Xiao Xiwei lived.
Before I went in, I heard the girl's 'squeak' laughter from the distance.
"Princess, you see how handsome and strong our little prince looks, and he can't tell that he was born prematurely." Biyun smiled around Chu Tianye, who was holding the nurse in her hand.
Not long after Xiao Xiwei gave birth to the child, Zhongyong Houfu picked two nurses from the house, one to take care of the child and the other to take care of Xiao Xiwei, and sent Lian Biyun to the mountain by the way.
Now in the Hou Mansion, the old lady is gone, and the old lady's body is not as good as day by day, Zhou Shumei is crazy, and although Xiao Yan is Xiao Xiwei's biological father, it is still inconvenient to visit in person after all, so he can only send the nurse, and send the gold collar and longevity lock that have been prepared for a long time.
"Thanks to Aunt Ruosu for taking good care of you." Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ruo Sudao with a smile.
"It's still Lord Xiao who has a heart, if he hadn't sent Mama Wang here, I'm afraid that the slave and maid would still be in a hurry now." Ruosu said with a smile.
Since Xiao Xiwei's accident, Yan Guifei didn't dare to use the previously selected nurse anymore, for fear that the nurse would be manipulated again, and when she was in a hurry, Xiao Yan sent Mama Wang and Mama Qin up, plus Biyun, so that there would be plenty of manpower.
Xiao Xi smiled and stretched out his hand to Mama Wang, "Let me hug me for a while." ”
"Yes." Mama Wang responded with a smile, got up and carefully put Chu Tianye, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, into Xiao Xiwei's arms.
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the curtain in the inner room moving, and followed by, a long figure walked in.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Shen." The girl in the room hurriedly stood sideways and saluted the visitor.
"Go down, you all go down, this king has something to say to the princess." Chu Yanzhi walked up to Xiao Xiwei and stood still, waved his hand indifferently, and spoke.
Ruosu and Hongyu looked up at Xiao Xiwei at the same time.
Especially Hongyu, the last time her master provoked King Shen to kill him, she was really afraid that her master would not be able to hold his breath this time and provoke King Shen to be angry.
"Go down, all of you." Xiao Xi looked down at the little baby in his arms, his voice was faint, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, and then bent down and retreated.
Chu Yanzhi lowered his head and looked at Xiao Xiwei's gaze, only to see that the baby in her arms was sleeping deeply, and her little face was pink and tender, but after more than half a month, it had already faded away from the shriveled when she was just born, and there was a faint hint of Xiao resembling that person between her eyebrows.
Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows suddenly couldn't help but pick.
At the beginning, everyone thought that this child would not survive, but they didn't expect it......
It is true that he did not think of attacking this child, but when the midwife said that he could only save one, he still had a trace of irrepressible joy in his heart. At that time, he was thinking, if this child was gone, then there would be no barrier between him and Xiao Xiwei.
However, the child survived.
His vision was suddenly blocked, and he raised his head, only to see Xiao Xi move Chu Tianye in without a trace.
"Is there something wrong with the prince?"
Seeing the faint suspicion in his eyes, Chu Yanzhi hurriedly took his eyes off Chu Tianye, "It's nothing, just to see you." He said as he walked over to the chair next to him and sat down, "Are you feeling better?" You can take those medicines from Du Ercai, but if they are not good, I will go find some snow ginseng for you. ”
Xiao Xi glanced at Chu Yan suspiciously, and said with some vigilance, "What does the prince want to say?" ”
Looking at Xiao Xiwei's expression, Chu Yanzhi's chest froze, and Chang Lu's hinting words just now sounded in his mind.
He had left everything behind for her, and she was still suspicious of him.
He suddenly wondered if he was worth it to her.
But these thoughts only flashed in his mind, no matter what, she is the woman she identifies after all, and now she has paid so much, so she might as well pay a little more, he believes that one day she will willingly become his woman.
"I'm going down the mountain in a while, something happened in the capital." Chu Yanzhi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei, and there was no trace of calm in his eyes.
He knew that when he told Xiao Xiwei this, she wouldn't respond to him, but he always felt that he should tell her.
Sure enough, Xiao Xi's slightly clear eyes did not fluctuate, and even his eyebrows were faintly a little impatient.
"Don't you ask me something?" After waiting for a long time for her to speak, Chu Yanzhi finally couldn't bear to ask.
He suddenly thought that if Chu Xizhi had changed his question, then she would definitely not be so indifferent, and she would definitely ask Chu Xi's reason.
Sometimes, he really couldn't understand why she was so insistent on liking Chu Xizhi? Obviously he was the first person to meet her? He was one step earlier than Chu Xizhi, but why did she fall in love with him?
Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Tianye in his arms, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a light smile, "The concubine body just wants to bring Tianye up now, and other things...... The concubine doesn't want to care, and the concubine doesn't have the ability to care. ”
"It has been a long time since the death of the crown prince, and now, it is time for the DPRK and China to have a new situation." Chu Yanzhi stared at Xiao Xiwei's eyes and said lightly.
Xiao Xi patted his swaddling hand slightly, and then continued his actions as if nothing had happened.
Now that he is dead, the foundation of King Chu Mu of Qin is thinner, and there is no prince in the court who can compete with him, presumably, he has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Xiwei, I'll give you time. That position, I will always leave it to you. Chu Yanzhi's gaze was on Xiao Xiwei, and his voice sounded hoarsely.
He treated her with patience that surprised even him.
Xiao Xi didn't move slightly, her long eyelashes covered those clear eyes, so Chu Yanzhi couldn't see what she was thinking at this time, but he vaguely noticed that when he finished saying these words, her slender eyebrows moved slightly.
He was about to say something more, when an attendant hurried in and whispered something in his ear.
Although Xiao Xiwei lowered his eyes to look at Tianye in his arms, the corner of his eyes kept paying attention to Chu Yanzhi, and he saw that the attendant's words had not yet been finished, and his face changed suddenly.
"Xiwei, I want you to think about it." Chu Yanzhi threw down this sentence, then turned around and hurriedly left.
Behind him, Xiao Xi's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.
What was the reason why Chu Yanzhi left in such a hurry? In the court, although there are still voices questioning him, but in the end, he is now a dominant family, and no one can compete with him, plus the emperor originally liked him, and those voices can be ignored and not far-sighted for him, so why did he leave in a hurry?
"Red Rain." Xiao Xiwei shouted outside the house.
"Princess." Hongyu walked in and blessed Xiao Xiwei. , along with Ruosu and Biyun.
"You go to Ziyan and think of a way to let the people of the dark night come to see me." Xiao Xi looked at Hongyu and said in a low voice.
Ziyan was twisted off by Chu Yanzhi last time, and now although the bones have been connected, the action remains the same in the end, so he has been recuperating in the house for half a month.
"Yes." Hongyu lowered his head in response, then turned around and walked out.
"Princess, what are you ......" Ruo Su looked at Xiao Xiwei with some concern.
King Shen is still in Chao'an Temple, and there are eyeliner everywhere around it, so it is really inappropriate to use the dark night at this time.
"Defenseless." Xiao Xi smiled slightly at Ruosu, then lowered his head and kissed Chu Tianye's forehead gently.
Chu Yanzhi waited for so long and didn't wait for any movement, presumably, the doubts in his heart had subsided a lot at this time, even if he found out that she was secretly meeting the people of the dark night, then she could also say that there was no news from Wucheng from King Qin's side, so she couldn't help but find the dark night and send them to Wucheng to find out the news. The two sides competed, but I was afraid that Chu Yanzhi would be more convinced that Xizhi was dead.
After getting along for so long, Ruo Su naturally knew that this princess of her family was really a beautiful princess, full of wit, and looking at her now light and breezy appearance, her heart naturally let go.
"It's good that the princess knows what to do. The hour is not early, and the concubine should be in a hurry, so the slave and maid will not take the princess to rest, so Mama Wang will take the little prince back with me. Ruo Su smiled and looked at Xiao Xi and said.
Although Xiao Xiwei was reluctant, she also knew that her current body really couldn't take good care of Tianye, so she had to bow her head and kiss him on the little face, and then handed over the child to Ruosu.
Xiao Tianye, my mother really hopes that you can grow up soon!
