Chapter Seventy-Six: Speculation
"Although Nanyuan is not far from the city gate, it is not close, and it is not a place that must be passed through to reach the city gate. Even if the deposed prince wants to find a place to hide, he shouldn't go to Nanyuan. Unless, the deposed prince has long been in contact with Xiang Ao, and he goes to Xiang Ao for help. ”
Chu Mingyi carefully explained the cause and effect, expressing what she thought was the most reasonable conjecture.
"If you said that, what would Miss Gu's explanation be?"
Xiao Wu felt that what she said made sense, so he continued to dig deeper.
Chu Wanxiang pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth gently: "The purpose of the abolished Huai King to come to Bei'an is to ask Bei'an's army to help him regain the throne, and use the military plan to exchange troops with the Bei'an Emperor, but the second uncle's army is the strongest in Bei'an. My cousin was kidnapped, and I think it's a bargaining chip they want to use to threaten their uncle. ”
"Them." Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows.
"I say they because I'm not sure who did it, it was Xiang Ao. is still the abolished King Huai. ”
It's possible for both of them, but she's more inclined to be under Ruyi's men.
Because this man never treats people as human beings. For him, it's the tools that help him achieve his goals.
"The analysis is indeed clear and logical, but there is no evidence, this is just speculation after all."
While Chu Mohan admired Chu Wanxiang's quick thinking, he also regretted that there was no definite evidence to prove her guess.
But even if there is no evidence, his judgment is the same as Chu Wanxiang's. This incident is very likely to be a comeback of Ruyi.
He wanted to take credit in this matter, and wanted to gain status and power in Bei'an.
It looks like this sleeping lion is about to wake up, so should I stop hiding my powers?
Looking up at the sky of Kyoto Castle, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the situation is becoming more and more unpredictable.
No one knows what the next situation will turn out to be, but what is certain is that the danger will be more dangerous than ever.
The news of the death of the abolished prince soon reached the ears of the Bei'an Emperor, and Junli's subordinates deliberately chose a lively road and dragged the body to Dali Temple, so that everyone in Yujing could see that it was he Junli who killed the deposed prince.
The young woman who was kidnapped from the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was personally sent back to the mansion by Xiang Ao. Zhenbei Hou was very grateful and owed Junli a favor.
Emperor Bei'an looked at the monument handed over by Ye Xiu, which clearly stated the cause of death and the state of death of the deposed prince.
"This time, Xichen played an important role in the arrest of the abolished prince of Yunguo. One hundred taels of gold, one pearl of coral. ”
With the decree, all the officials knelt down and saluted.
After the court, Emperor Beiming went to the palace of Concubine Li to rest, and heard that Jun Li was quite knowledgeable, so he took the opportunity to mention to him that Jun Li should marry Xiaoyue.
She begged the queen for a long time, but she didn't see her make any moves. Concubine Li couldn't wait any longer, so she took this opportunity to directly raise the matter to Emperor Bei'an.
Satsuki has lost her virginity, and she can only rot in her stomach and no one dares to say it, because this is a scandal for her royal family.
If she is engaged to someone else, this matter will be exposed sooner or later, why not marry her to Ruyi.
Although she didn't know how Xiang Ao found out about this, he made it clear that even if Min'er was not a virgin, he would still marry Min'er, and he was willing to help hide it.
This is a unique good thing for Concubine Li and Xiao Yue.
Especially Satsuki, she has always liked Xiang Ao, and she is very happy because of it.
I thought that Emperor Bei'an would have some criticism, but I didn't expect that he agreed without hesitation.
In less than three quarters of an hour, the holy decree of marriage came down, and Nanyuan and Wugong Du Mansion were all jubilant.
Xiang Ao sat in the main hall, looking at the holy decree in his hand, his eyes were deep.
Wanxiang, you wait, soon I will let you return to me.
When the good news reached Prince Gong's Mansion, Chu Wanxiang was taking the pulse of the nine princesses.
"Sister Minghuang, aren't you sad?"
Chu Qiang asked cautiously, is there anyone in Yujing City who doesn't know how much Princess Ming liked Xiang Ao before?
Chu Wanxiang chuckled and said, "Princess, I want to be the man of your fourth sister-in-law, if others don't marry you, why should I be sad?" ”“
When she heard the news, her heart was not messed up at all, and she even wanted to laugh.
Seeing that she really didn't feel sad at all, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
I have been taken care of by Chu Wanxiang for the past few days, and I like her very much, and it can be seen that the fourth brother is also sincere to her. The fourth brother was unhappy.
"Okay, your body has fully recovered, and from today, you don't have to take this medicine."
The poison of the four bones has been cleaned up, and the symptoms of physical weakness have also been improved. Looking at Princess Anle, who had regained her former glory, Chu Wanxiang felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Great, I finally don't have to take bitter medicine." Chu Qiang showed a hint of a smile, picked up the plum cake on the table, and put it in her mouth.
She has been eating those bitter things these days, and she can finally eat some sweet things.
"Seeing that the princess is so happy, His Royal Highness Prince Gong must be very happy."
Chu Wanxiang put away the medicine box and looked at Chu Qiang who was smiling and eating happily.
Now that the deposed Prince of Yunguo is dead, she no longer has to worry about getting married, and her body and mind are naturally much happier.
"Those who know me have a heart, and the emperor is also."
Xiao Wu walked in with a smile and naturally sat beside Chu Wanxiang.
"Fourth brother." Xiao Yun called out obediently, and when she saw Xiao Qing behind him, she stood up happily: "Brother." ”
"Xiao Jiu, I heard that you're okay, let's go, starling brother will take you out for a walk."
Xiaoqing rubbed her sister's head, and led her out without looking back.
"Princess An Le is in good health, His Royal Highness King An, please be more careful," out of concern for the patient, Chu Wanxiang asked deliberately.
"I understand the fourth sister-in-law." Xiaoqing waved her hand with her back to her, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
"Don't worry, although Lao Ba is a little thin, he still has his measure."
Xiao Wu said that he and Xiao Qing are Xiao Yun's only brothers.
To Xiao Yun, he feels like a father, and Xiao Qing is her own brother and playmate because of his age and personality.
So from childhood to adulthood, it was Xiaoqing who dragged Xiaoyun around.
"Your Majesty must have been thirsty when he just came back, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Seeing that he hadn't taken off his palace clothes, Chu Wanxiang knew that he had just come down from the court and ran over before he had time to rest.
Poured a cup of tea for him to moisten his throat, and then asked Tsing Yi to bring some snacks.
"This king's concubine really cares."
After drinking a cup of tea, my originally dry throat felt much better. He woke up early in the morning, without a drop of water, and he spoke for a long time in court.
Chu Wanxiang blushed and said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness and Ye Daren joined forces to perform, sent Brother Wu to serve as the supervisor of Dali Temple, and sent him to Yunzhou. ”
