Chapter 119: Escape

Old Madam Lin touched her head: "Of course, the emperor can find out who is behind the scenes, but this incident has a bad impact, and the emperor needs to give an explanation to the world."

Chu Wanxiang gritted her teeth and grinded her teeth with hatred.

Jiang Qiyun is really a good means, and he can instigate the suspicion of Chu Duhan and the emperor in this situation. However, Chu Wanxiang was not to be outdone, she had to cancel her marriage contract with Chu Wanhan as soon as possible.

"I will try my best to persuade the emperor." Chu Wanxiang said firmly.

"There's no hurry." Mrs. Lin said, "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and it is the time to employ people, he needs to stabilize the situation in the court, and he is definitely unwilling to divorce his wife at this time."

"yes, I understand." Chu Wanxiang nodded, suddenly remembered something else, and hesitated, "But...... Twilight Han doesn't want to marry Jiang Qiyun! Grandma, Twilight is your own nephew, and the person he likes in his heart is me. Don't you push him, okay? He also has two sons, and he can't be an heir!"

Old Madam Lin frowned and said, "I don't care, I only recognize you as my granddaughter-in-law, and the concubine of Duhan must be you!" You must not back down, or Grandma will never spare you!"

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I will work hard."

Chu Duhan returned to the East Palace and saw Su Jinxuan standing in front of the door to greet him, and his mood was inexplicably irritable: "What are you doing here?"

Su Jinxuan saluted: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness. The concubine heard that His Highness was injured, and she was worried about His Highness's body."

Chu Duhan waved his hand impatiently: "Get out."

Su Jinxuan said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, the concubine is really worried about you, and the concubine should not enter the palace to find you without permission. The concubine is wrong. The concubine has been kneeling in the Buddha hall for three days and three nights, begging the Bodhisattva to forgive the concubine's recklessness."

Chu Duan snorted coldly, "This is the first time you have cheated on me? Are you still finished? I'm tired of it, so you'd better be more interesting." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Su Jinxuan bit her lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. Chu Duhan is always so indiscriminate, ignoring other people's feelings. Every time she saw Chu Duhan like this, her heart was like a knife, and she was suffocated in pain.

Chu Wanxiang saw her crying pitifully, and sympathy rose in her heart. She comforted softly, "Sister, don't cry, the emperor is just impulsive. After a while, when he calms down, he won't treat his sister like this again. Sister, don't be sad, I will accompany you into the Buddhist hall to recite sutras and pray for blessings."

Chu Wanxiang pulled Su Jinxuan into the Buddhist hall and knelt all day. Their knees were frayed and bloody. Chu Wanxiang was very distressed: "Sister, go back, don't stay here with me."

Su Jinxuan shook her head: "I'm not going anywhere. The mother is in the Buddha hall, and the concubine doesn't want to leave. Niangniang, we all have to take care of ourselves, otherwise the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will all be worried."

Chu Wanxiang held her hand and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, sister, for making you suffer."

Su Jinxuan's face was pale: "I'm not hard. I will not give up on the emperor, please don't let down my admiration."

Chu Wanxiang smiled: "You are the emperor's side concubine, you should know the rules and abide by your duty."

Su Jinxuan shook her head: "If the emperor really loves me, he won't abandon me because of this."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I just hope that the emperor can see what is going on."

The two chatted for a long time before Chu Wanxiang left. Chu Wanxiang was so heavy that she didn't notice that a little eunuch beside her was staring at her for a long time.

In the evening, Mrs. Lin sent her grandmother to call Chu Wanxiang over.

"The emperor summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the matter of dealing with the imperial concubine." Mama said, "Imperial Physician Li, the chief imperial physician of Tai Hospital, will also be present. Is the mother ready?"

Chu Wanxiang's heart was shocked: "Are the imperial doctors here?"

"Yes."

"I see, I'll go over right away." Chu Wanxiang hurriedly got up and went back to her room. She took off the beaded hairpin from her bun, replaced it with a plain white silk, and pulled her hair up high.

"Is the mother going out?" The maid asked.

"Hmm. The Queen Mother announced that the palace would go to Cining Palace to meet her." Chu Wanxiang commanded in a low voice, "If the emperor summons the palace, you will notify me immediately."

She walked out of the house, but saw the emperor standing in the courtyard

, was looking in the direction of the pond with his back to her.

Chu Wanxiang stepped forward and shouted softly, "Your Majesty."

"How's Wanqing?" The emperor turned around.

Chu Wanqing was lying on the bed, her eyes were blank, her mouth opened and closed a few times, and she spit out the indistinct words: "Father...... Emperor"

Chu Wanxiang was so distressed that she cried.

The emperor sighed: "After Wanqing woke up, he shouted to see Wanqing. You go and see it for me."

Chu Wanxiang wiped away her tears and smiled gently, "Yes. The concubines obeyed." She turned around and walked out of the dormitory and walked towards Chu Wanqing's room.

"Niangniang, where is the emperor?" The guards guarding the door stopped Chu Wanxiang.

"The emperor is tired for a day today and has fallen asleep, I want to go in and accompany Wanqing."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then let her in.

Chu Wanqing was lying on the bed, and when she saw Chu Wanxiang, she smiled weakly: "Sister Queen, why are you here?"

"You're sick, I'll come and see you." Chu Wanxiang sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand, "Wanqing, tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Wanqing's eyes dimmed: "I don't dare to say it."

Chu Wanxiang frowned and said, "We are the closest people, what are you afraid of. Tell me the truth, and I can help you."

Chu Wanqing hesitated for a long time: "When the emperor and his sister came to look for me together, they met an assassin."

"What!" Chu Wanxiang was taken aback, "Are you okay?"

Chu Wanqing shook her head: "Fortunately, my brother-in-law saved me. He blocked the dagger with his sword and stabbed me and the emperor."

"And then?" Chu Wanxiang said anxiously, "What about the emperor?"

"The Emperor passed out at that time, and the assassin fled."

Chu Wanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Scared me, I thought it was ...... Luckily, it's fine."

Chu Wanqing whispered, "That assassin is very powerful, when the emperor was unconscious, that assassin wanted to kill the emperor, but fortunately, the emperor escaped with his life."

"Assassin?" Chu Wanxiang's heart sank, and she suddenly became vigilant.

Chu Wanqing nodded: "That assassin quickly caught up with the emperor. The emperor did his best to get rid of him."

"Who is the Assassin?"

"I don't know, but his kung fu is good, and he knocked me out with one move." Chu Wanqing's eyes flickered, "He seems to recognize the emperor and wants to kill the emperor."

"What you say is true?"

Chu Wanqing nodded affirmatively: "It's definitely true." She paused, "Those killers are a group of black-clad masked men, they are very good at martial arts, and they also have a very strong archer."

After Chu Wanxiang listened, her heart was pounding wildly, and she felt fear inexplicably. She tried to calm herself and comforted Chu Wanqing softly: "Don't be afraid, since you are sure that the emperor is out of danger, then the emperor will come back soon."
