Chapter 286: A False Alarm

The next day, Chu Mohan said goodbye and went home, and Chu Wanxiang stayed in the palace to accompany Nangong Yi. Nangong Yi reluctantly hugged Chu Wanxiang and kissed her forehead, her eyes full of doting pity.

"Father, the child and the mother will say goodbye first." Chu Mohan bowed and saluted, took Chu Wanxiang's hand and left.

Chu Mohan took Chu Wanxiang home. As soon as Chu Mohan left, Nangong Yi summoned the Dark Guard Commander.

"Your Majesty?" The Commander of the Dark Guard fell to one knee and saluted.

Nangong Yi instructed, "Go and check the details of Chu Mohan, especially his experience in recent years, as well as the situation in Chu Mansion."

"Yes." The Dark Guard Commander led the way.

Nangong Yi sat alone in front of the bookcase and thought for a long time. Chu Mohan suddenly proposed to go back to the border pass, it must be because of Chu Wanchuan, no wonder Chu Mohan was in a hurry to go to the border pass as soon as he came back.

Nangong Yi sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Chu Mohan, he still failed to kill you in the end, he is worthy of being my younger brother, I want to see how long I can let you live!

Back in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang went separately to visit Chu Tianyi.

"Mother, I've come to see you." Chu Tianyi was chatting with the Shen family, when he heard the footsteps and turned around, he saw that it was Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang, he was stunned, and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Huang!" Chu Mohan shouted, and then held Chu Tianyi's hand, "How are you? Did you hurt anything?"

"Nope." Chu Tianyi smiled slightly, "It's you, I heard that you have been poisoned and in a coma for three months, is your body better?"

Chu Wanxiang said: "The emperor gave me medicine, and I have been cured." As he spoke, he took out the porcelain bottle and handed it to Chu Tianyi, "This is the antidote pill. After you take it, drink another dose of decoction to strengthen the wound."

Chu Tianyi took the antidote pill and took two more medicines, and the wound slowly improved.

"Why did you get back?" Chu Tianyi asked. He knew that Chu Mohan was not worried about Chu Wanchuan, so he sent someone to protect her secretly.

Chu Mohan said, "There is urgent information coming from the border, I need to rush back immediately."

Chu Tianyi frowned: "Is there any news that Xirong is preparing to attack the frontier?"

"No definite news yet." Chu Mohan shook his head, "I hope it's a false alarm."

While the two were talking, the eunuch sent a message: "The emperor Xuanning has come to see you."

Chu Mohan went to the imperial study with the eunuch, and Chu Wanxiang also followed.

"Concubines attend Your Majesty." Chu Wanxiang curtsied.

"Excuse me, get up." Nangong Yi raised his hand and motioned for Chu Mohan to sit down.

"Why did the royal brother and his mother come together?" Chu Mohan asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you say that you have something to deal with? The royal sister will accompany you." Chu Wanxiang said with a smile.

Chu Mohan was slightly stunned: "The place I'm going to is not suitable for the imperial sister-in-law to go with."

"Then the royal sister will also go together, our sisters haven't been together for a long time." Chu Wanxiang insisted, "I miss the imperial sister."

Chu Mohan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's go together."

The group came to the door of Chu's house by car. Two carriages were parked in front of the Chu family, Chu Wanxiang and Chu Mohan boarded the carriage, and Mrs. Chu and Chu Tianyi rode on the side.

"Your Highness......

"Shut up!" Chu Wanxiang interrupted the guard's words sharply. "Say, what's wrong with my father?"

"The subordinates didn't dare to hide it, the general was poisoned and died last night."

"Poisoned? Who did that?"

"It's unclear who poisoned the poison, but it's certain that the prince did it. The crown prince assassinated His Highness at night, but he missed."

After hearing this, Chu Wanxiang's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and tried to restrain her emotions before she allowed herself to rush over and choke the guard's neck. "What about the Prince? Where is the prince now?"

The guard hesitated for a moment: "Back to Your Highness, the crown prince has already fled."

Chu Wanxiang clenched her fists hard, her nails sank into the flesh of her palms, and there was a sharp pain. "Rubbish! The prince actually escaped?"

"Yes, my subordinates are incompetent!"

"Get out!" Chu Wanxiang scolded angrily. "Gather people and chase them immediately

Kill the prince, and if you can't find him, the whole army will be destroyed."

"Subordinates obey."

The guards were ordered to retreat.

Chu Wanxiang stood in place in a daze for a long time, and suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind, and she immediately called someone into the house to clean up.

"Mother, what are you doing?" The palace maid was startled.

"I'm leaving the palace." Chu Wanxiang commanded with a calm face, "Go and prepare things."

Although the palace maid was puzzled, she didn't dare to say more.

After Chu Wanxiang cleaned up briefly, she hurriedly rushed to the palace gate with a few clothes and a few pieces of jade pendants, gold and silver jewelry.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw a jujube red horse galloping towards him.

Chu Wanxiang knew that it was Chu Mohan's horse, and hurriedly dodged to the side, watching the horse crash into the stone lion at the palace gate, with a loud bang, it was torn apart, and lime dust filled the entire sky.

Chu Wanxiang was stunned.

Chu Mohan turned over and jumped off the horse, walked towards Chu Wanxiang, and took her into his arms and hugged her. Chu Wanxiang struggled to push him away: "You let go of me!"

"Xiang'er, don't be angry." Chu Mohan soothed softly.

Chu Wanxiang's anger did not subside: "Let go of me! Chu Mohan, why do you treat me like this!"

"Xiang'er, I didn't mean to." Chu Mohan stretched out his hand and patted Chu Wanxiang on the shoulder, comforting her as if he was coaxing a child, with an extremely gentle and patient attitude, "Don't lose your temper, Xiang'er, let's go home."

Chu Wanxiang glared and said angrily, "Don't touch me! Chu Mohan, you bastard!" Resentful, she wrenched free of his arm and turned away.

Chu Mohan stretched out his hand to hold her: "Xiang'er, don't run around anymore, we'll talk about it when you are angry."

"Let go!" Chu Wanxiang shook off his hand and quickened his pace and ran towards the palace gate.

Chu Mohan watched Chu Wanxiang run away, his brows furrowed.

"Your Highness, what now?"

"Catch up."

"Chasing?" The guards were stunned.

"Isn't it okay?" Chu Mo's cold eyes swept at him, and the guards suddenly shuddered, lowered their heads and said, "Subordinates obey."

Chu Wanxiang kept running outside the palace gate until she collapsed on the side of the road and gasped.

Chu Mohan chased after him on a horse, stopped, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Chu Wanxiang. "Xiang'er." He squatted down and took Chu Wanxiang's hand. "Let's go back.".

"Let it go! Get out of here!"

"Xiang'er......" Chu Mohan clenched her hand, "I was really forced to drug you out of desperation. I don't want you to be uncomfortable, so I can't bear to let you compromise and ask for perfection...... Xiang'er, believe me, I really love you."

Chu Wanxiang twitched, shook off his hand, and turned to walk towards the palace gate: "You love me? Is your love ruining my happiness and forcing my father to death? You love me, what right do you have to love me? Chu Mohan, you bastard, I hate you so much!"

Chu Mohan looked at her decisive figure and stood in place in a daze.

"Your Highness, what should I do?" The guard asked.

"Keep catching up." Chu Mohan was silent for a moment and insisted, "She will forgive me."

Chu Mohan chased Chu Wanxiang out of the palace, and encountered many Praetorian Guards along the way, and Chu Wanxiang desperately squeezed into a crowded place. The Praetorian Guards chased her until Chu Wanxiang ran to the gate of the palace and finally stopped Chu Wanxiang.
