Chapter 144: Reaching a Cooperation
Yan Que's words quickly attracted Chu Luoci's attention.
"Do you know what happened to my dad back then?"
Yan Que nodded and told Chu Luoci about the things he had found out in Kyoto in the past few years, as well as the things that had been raised for grain and grass back then.
And told her her guesses.
"Back then, your father's death and disappearance may not have been an accident, he was probably missing because of the framing of someone with a heart, and in addition to inspecting on behalf of my father, the most important purpose of my coming to Jiangnan was to find out the cause of his death!"
"If my guess is correct, many officials in Jiangnan, and even many important ministers in the court, the prince, may have something to do with your father's disappearance......"
Even if Chu Luoci felt that the reason for the disappearance of the original owner's father was not so simple, but when he heard Yan Que talk about the reason for this, and it also involved some secrets of the royal family at the beginning, he was still shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
If this was the case, then she could understand why it took so long for the handkerchief to be delivered to her, and she was so cautious.
Why did she guess that General Chu was not dead, but General Chu had never been missing......
If the secret of this is true, General Chu is afraid that even if he is alive, he will not dare to show his face!
As long as he shows up, there is only one dead word waiting for him!
Seeing that Chu Luoci seemed to have figured out the reason, Yan Que immediately put forward another very tempting suggestion.
"Do you want to go with me to find out the truth about your father's death?"
Hearing this proposal, Chu Luoci hesitated.
Seriously, if General Chu was dead, she might hesitate at Yan Que's proposal, after all, she didn't want to get involved in deeper court disputes, and she was afraid that the two children would be in danger because of her rash choice.
However, the fact is that the news I got from her is that General Chu may still be alive......
If that's the case, she'll have to work with Yanque.
Because after listening to Yanque explain the cause and effect, Chu Luoci understood that with his own ability, there was no way to find out the grievances of General Chu and the truth of his disappearance.
Even if General Chu's whereabouts are found, General Chu will have to risk losing his life all the time!
Seeing that Chu Luoci hesitated, Yan Que thought that it was his own proposal that made Chu Luoci tempted, and he wanted to say something, but Chu Luoci sighed and told Yan Que what he had found over the years and the news that General Chu might not be dead.
"Lord Wang, I can cooperate with you, but just because I know that with my own strength, I can't return my father's innocence, and if the truth is not revealed, my father will always have to hide, and I don't want to see him like this."
Yan Que couldn't listen to what Chu Luoci was saying, and there was only one thought in his mind-
Chu Luoci agreed! She said yes!
Whatever the reason, at least Chu Luoci didn't exclude himself!
He also understood what it meant for Chu Luoci to agree, which meant that before General Chu found it, before the truth of the matter back then was revealed, he would be able to get along with Chu Luoci for a long time......
As long as he thinks of this, Yan Que feels full of energy!
"Okay, I'll let the dark guard show you everything I found before tonight, and if you have any ideas, you can also tell me, I ......"
He was so excited that he didn't know what to do, but Chu Luoci seemed much calmer than him, "Don't be excited, don't be excited, you just follow your direction to investigate, I will be by your side, pretending to be a servant girl who is serving closely, and I will go with you to find out the truth of the year." ”
Yan Que frowned when he heard this, Chu Luoci had suffered a lot over the years, how could he be allowed to pretend to be a maidservant?
But Chu Luoci couldn't refuse to finalize the plan.
"That's it, I sent someone to talk to Zhou Ci, and the prince is also ready to prepare, since there is no reason to stay here, let's go back to where the prince lives."
"Didn't the prince save the descendants of a wealthy businessman back then and protect them? Why don't you go there and ask for any useful clues? ”
Chu Luoci said, and called the subordinates of the other courtyard to send news to Zhou Ci.
And after Zhou Ci got the news, he only felt that one head was two big.
The subordinate also expressed the meaning of Chu Luoci when he passed the word-
Yan Que still misunderstands that the two children are Zhou Ci, so he can only grieve Zhou Ci and be the father of the two children for a period of time.
In Zhou Ci's view, this is all a trivial matter, there is nothing to disagree to, he is more worried about Chu Luoci.
He understands the paranoia in Yan Que's personality too well, and now Chu Luo has revealed his identity for the sake of General Chu, and he has promised to cooperate with Yan Que.
But if the truth of this matter is revealed in the future, Chu Luoci wants to withdraw, can it still be so easy?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and hurried to the courtyard with his subordinates.
When he saw Zhou Ci, Yan Que's eyes were a little unkind, but considering that Chu Luoci was still beside him, he quickly put away the hostility on his body.
He even said very generously, "You two have something to say, then the king won't bother you, and the king will go to rest first." ”
Chu Luoci nodded, and after the banquet left, Zhou Ci could no longer hold back the anxious look on his face.
"You really promised him?! Have you ever wondered? What should you do if he doesn't want to let you go? ”
Chu Luoci was silent, she had thought about this idea herself.
"But my father's business...... There are too many people and relationships involved, with my own strength, even if I find him, I can't give him an upright identity, I have to do this, this is my responsibility as a child! ”
Zhou Ci saw the firmness in her eyes, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head, "Since you have made a decision, then I can only support it, as for the two children, are you sure that the prince still doesn't know their identities?" ”
Chu Luoci nodded, "He thought the child was yours, and I didn't explain it to him, we must hide this matter!" ”
Zhou Ci nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my mother and sisters and brothers-in-law, and they will keep it secret for you." ”
Chu Luoci sighed, "The two children have a special status, and it is not my intention to involve your family in this dispute, after this matter is over, I will leave Jiangnan and take the two children to another place, and I hope I won't cause you too much trouble when the time comes." ”
Zhou Ci was anxious: "Where are you going?" ”
Chu Luoci raised his head and looked into the distance.
Where is she going? She didn't know either.
If there was anything she was familiar with, it was Nanban......
Chu Luoci made a decision in his heart, but he didn't tell Zhou Ci immediately, but only said: "Let's talk about it in the future, maybe I won't be able to get rid of the banquet by then, and I will still stay in Jiangnan, these things are still far away." ”
Seeing that Chu Luoci didn't want to say any more, Zhou Ci didn't ask much, and asked again: "Since you and the prince want to conspire with each other, whether the two children will be taken to the mansion by me, my mother also likes the two children, and it seems that it is not bad to let her raise them." ”
Chu Luoci shook his head, "Forget it, they are still the president, it's not good to be separated from me for too long, it doesn't matter, the identity of me and the children ...... This problem is left to Yanque to solve. ”
Chu Luoci now thinks about it, she thought about the banquet everywhere and tolerated everywhere, what did she get in exchange?
Now she just wants to achieve her own goals, as for these difficulties, she simply doesn't care about it, and leaves it to Yanque to arrange!
In any case, the two children are Yan Que's biological flesh and blood, even if they don't recognize each other, for so many years, Yan Que has never fulfilled his obligations as a father, and these should be what he owes to the two children!
In the end, Zhou Ci left worriedly and did not take the two children with him.
After Chu Luo resigned back to the room, he saw the two children looking at him with blank eyes.
After thinking about it, I simply told them the truth.
"Yan Que is your biological father, then he did a lot of things to be sorry for me and you, so my mother doesn't want you to recognize him, and my mother wants you to follow your mother and be carefree."
"Those things that have nothing to do with you shouldn't be borne by your age, don't you think?"
"Of course, if you have other ideas...... My mother will not object. ”
The two children only thought about it for a moment, and quickly made a decision.
"We were born to our mothers, and we also followed our mothers when we were young, and our mothers were our only relatives! As for the feast, he has never lived with us, he is a stranger to us! We won't leave your mother for him! ”
Listening to the words of the two children, Chu Luoci smiled with satisfaction.
She knew that the two children were precocious, so she didn't hide it, and said to the two children, "Later, my mother may take you to follow Yanque, in order to find the whereabouts of your grandfather, Yanque's side...... I'll tell them that you're Uncle Zhou's son, and you must remember this time and don't show your stuff again, okay? ”
The two children nodded hurriedly: "Got it, mother!" ”
After instructing the two children, Chu Luoci immediately went to find the banquet.
Now that we have decided to cooperate, there are some things that should be done sooner rather than later.
That night, Chu Luoci packed up some personal things, changed his appearance again, and followed Yan Que in a low-key manner, only calling him his personal maidservant to the outside world.
She followed Yan Que back to the place where Yan Que lived, and the people around Yan Que didn't know if they had been instructed by Yan Que, and they didn't question Chu Luoci's identity, but they were very respectful to Chu Luoci.
