Chapter 236 Two Concubines and One Queen

There are really too many things that have happened during this period. After a series of changes, Emperor Yongle finally couldn't afford to get sick, and Concubine Li stepped out of the cold palace! The court blocked the news of the disappearance of the crown princess. On the day of the crown prince's wedding, in addition to "marrying" the crown princess, Chu Yunxi, the second daughter of Dingguo, and Ke Qinyao, the second daughter of Zhengxi, were also admitted to the palace. Both women were awarded the crowned as the crown princess's side concubine!

For a while, not long after returning to the west, Ke Dingliang was in the limelight, and there was a tendency to go hand in hand with Chu Yuanshan, the Duke of Ding.

Here comes the problem!

The news Chu Ruoxi got on the way back to the palace was that he passed through the bustling area of East Street. He was accidentally injured by two groups of angry hooligans and was stabbed in the chest. Before the imperial doctor came to treat him, he died.

When Yang Yiping took Chu Ruoxi back to Beijing, Yang Yiping got the news and his expression changed greatly. Chu Ruoxi sitting next to him was shocked by the haze emanating from his body. He dared not touch his reverse scales again, and secretly moved away.

Yang Yiping quickly returned to the palace, went to Qianyuan Hall to see Emperor Yongle, and ordered people to serve Chu Ruoxi to bathe and change clothes. It was almost an hour away. Chu Ruoxi soaked in the warm and comfortable bath and enjoyed this short comfort!

A storm is coming! There is no need to think much about the death of Zhengxihou. Everyone will naturally suspect that it was Chu Yuanshan's hands and feet. Imagine the identity of Zhengxihou, and the guards around him are all first-class masters. In the capital, not to mention some short-sighted ruffians and hooligans, even the killer sent by the emperor may not be able to assassinate him!

"Alas!" Chu Ruoxi sighed gently and reluctantly got up from the bath and changed his clothes. The pink skin was soaked more and more. The white gauze tents overlapped, and his eyes were not so clear!

"Where do I... live?" Chu Ruoxi paused slightly and told the truth. She had a choice. She hoped it was the Qingyao Palace, but unfortunately, the maid told her that it was Zhengde Hall! She was stunned. Yang Yiping was crowned prince. Why didn't she move to Longxiang Hall?

"His Royal Highness is unwilling to move, and the emperor will give it!" Xiaoyu, a maid of honor, was 17 or 18 years old, calm and experienced, and helped Chu Ruoxi explain to her. It seemed that he had carefully selected the people who could stay with Yang Yiping.

Back to the Zhengde Hall, everything was as old as before. Time went back to a hundred years ago. A slender figure, white clothes floated, and a man like a fairy stood on the stone steps. When he saw people from afar, his faint sadness was overwhelmed by a smile, and his voice was like the sound of heaven, "Yanran!"

"Brother Seven!" Chu Ruoxi's eyes were hot, and tears surged up. With a blink of an eye, the corridor was still there. Where is anyone?

"Princess..." The little fish, the maid of honor, saw Chu Ruoxi stop, looked lonely, and her eyes flashed with tears. She didn't know what to mutter. She didn't dare to ask or persuade her, but whispered to her.

Chu Ruoxi's nails pinched into the palm of her hand, and the pain made her wake up. She moved her feet gently and stepped on the steps of the Zhengde Hall step by step. The past was like a painting curtain flowing in front of her. Ten thousand words of words of sorry could not make up for the mistakes of that year. Her heart was like a blunt knife cut. One by one pain at a time, she could only force herself to be plain and walk towards that no longer Familiar hall!

Yang Yiping did not come back, and her two side concubines Chu Yunxi and Ke Qinyao disappeared.

Chu Ruoxi didn't want to see them, which saved a lot of trouble, but it was still strange in her heart that she was the imperial concubine. They were just two side concubines who could not stand on the table. The first time they returned to the palace, she dared to neglect them like this. Who gave them courage, or because of the violent death of Ke Qinyao's father, she Go home for mourning?

But where is Chu Yunxi? What did she do?

Before Chu Ruoxi's buttocks sat hot, she was summoned by the little eunuch beside Emperor Yongle: "The emperor told me to go to the Qianyuan Hall to see the princess!"

It is said that it is Qianyuan Hall, but it is actually the Yangxin Hall of Yongle Emperor's Bedroom Hall. Because of recuperation, the Yangxin Hall is filled with the smell of soup and medicine. The light is dim, which makes people feel depressed.

The footsteps are almost inaudible, and there are not many slaves in the room, and the crows are silent. Seeing Yang Yiping again, he half knelt in front of Emperor Yongle's bed. The emperor of Long** was really sick. His pale face, his cheekbones were towering, and he couldn't see any meat...

"Ruoxi kowtow to the emperor! "Your Majesty Jin'an!" Chu Ruoxi stared at the sick Yongle Emperor. He should have been happy, but unexpectedly, he had a strange feeling and couldn't bear it! She was shocked and secretly annoyed that she was a bastard. She quickly put away the trace of pity and bowed her head.

Emperor Yongle raised his eyes, and Yang Yiping quickly held him: "Father..." His voice was hoarse, and it was difficult to hide his sadness!

"Get up...!" The old voice of Emperor Yongle is like a 70 or 80-year-old man. Who can believe that the man lying on the collapse is only in his 40s!

"Your Majesty..." The woman's voice shocked Chu Ruoxi, and Concubine Li was also there!

She suddenly raised her head and happened to look into the eyes of Concubine Li. Both of them were stunned. Concubine Li's eyes were like water. After seeing her, she was stunned for a moment and her eyes became indifferent. From her expression, it could be guessed that she did not know that she was the daughter of her great enemy Chu Yuanshan before?

Chu Ruoxi smiled bitterly and saluted Concubine Li, "Ruoxi saw..." She only knew that Yang Yiping called her "Mother Concubine", but she didn't know what title the emperor gave her after she left the cold palace, so she didn't know what to call Princess Li. Yang Yiping didn't come forward to relieve the siege. She bit her lip, "... Mother!"

"It's cold on the ground. Your Highness, get up first! Hurting your body will only worry your father!" Concubine Li didn't hear Chu Ruoxi's invitation. She didn't care that Chu Ruoxi didn't respect her as a "mother concubine". Her eyes fell on Yang Yiping, soft and delicate. "Don't let your father worry about you anymore."

Yang Yiping hated Chu Yuanshan's unscrupulousness in his heart. When he saw that Chu Ruoxi was neglected by his mother's concubine, he was angry with her for not calling her "mother concubine" and ignored her. How can the mother's grievances and resentment for so many years be so easy to resolve? Chu Ruoxi was rude and thought she would make things difficult for Chu Ruoxi fiercely. Fortunately, she just turned a blind eye and was kind to her.

Yang Yiping was raised by Concubine Li, and Chu Ruoxi could only continue to kneel. Even the attention of Emperor Yongle fell on Yang Yiping, and a touch of kindness appeared in his dry eyes, "Ping... son, cherish... body!"

"My son knows, please don't worry about it!"

Emperor Yongle looked tired and looked at Chu Ruoxi, "Get up! Suffering from this... great hardship, and... you have suffered... I have been awarded the title of Ping's biological mother, Noble Concubine Ning, and you are the crown princess... I will... be filial..."

Ning?

Is peace more important than peace?

Suddenly calling another woman "mother" made Chu Ruoxi, an "ancient man", very unaccustomed to it. He was rude and forced by the situation, so he could only sue Ning Guifei, "My minister is rude, please punish the mother!"

Today's noble concubine Ning, the chill in the eyes of Yang Yiping's biological mother has disappeared, and she can't be close to her. It's more of alienation. "The crown princess is serious. I have avoided the world for too long. It's human nature that you don't recognize it. How can you be blame!"

With a "dong", a chill came. She said that avoiding the world naturally refers to the fact that she had been imprisoned in the cold palace for many years. Chu Yuanshan and the Empress Xixian were the originators of her tragedy, and she was the daughter of Chu Yuanshan. What she said was tantamount to laughing at herself...

Forced back to the palace by Yang Yiping, she didn't even see Chu Yuanshan's face, and she didn't know what happened to happen to the capital. Emperor Yongle let Concubine Li out of the cold palace. According to reason, Chu Yuanshan would not agree. She was eager to know everything, but she was trapped in the palace and had no chance to investigate!

"Ruoxi... There is an accident in Zhengxi, cough... He is bold and loyal, I... He should have gone to mourn in person, but his body is not strong, so the matter will be replaced by the prince... Instead, Ping'er's mind has not changed, I... I don't worry, so you... cough, go with me!"

Ning Guifei's words made Chu Ruoxi's face change slightly, and she couldn't say a word. Emperor Yongle knew that Ning Guifei was angry and was worried that she would be scared when she was young and didn't know how to deal with it, so he forced her to accompany the prince to the Western Hou Mansion.

Chu Ruoxi was shocked. Most of the death of the expedition to the west was inseparable from Chu Yuanshan. Ke Qinyao was also the prince's side concubine. At this moment, there was no one. Most of them asked for an order to go home. As Chu Yuanshan's daughter, she went to the Western Houfu. The prince was "stupid". It was really a dragon pool tiger's den, which was a thankless thing.

Before she didn't want to, the two said goodbye to Emperor Yongle, hurriedly left the palace and went to the Western Hou Mansion, but they didn't expect the dragon flag to fly, and the group was blocked at the gate of the palace.

When Chu Yuanshan learned that his daughter had returned, he hurried to see Chu Ruoxi and burst into tears, "Ruoxi, my son, you have suffered."

Chu Ruoxi was disappointed with Chu Yuanshan. In his eyes, he only had the interests of his Chu family. Even his daughter could be used as a chess piece and could be destroyed. Her body was slightly deflected, avoiding Chu Yuanshan's hugging fingers and pinching her fiercely in the palm of her hand, with tears: "Father...daughter...daughter..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, just come back, just come back!" Chu Yuanshan patted her gently on the back, but he was a little annoyed. He didn't know what happened to the assassin who sneaked under the cliff. Chu Ruoxi returned safely, and the assassin showed any clues.

This daughter's fate is too hard, and she has had several bad luck several times. She fell off the cliff, and the prince did not want to find her, so that he, the first powerful minister in the world, couldn't help changing his mind.

After all, the fool was a fool. He had thoughts about his daughter, but he had not been able to live without her. For a while, he would not find Chu Ruoxi. The prince's wedding was approaching. He weighed and asked Emperor Yongle to let his second daughter Chu Yunxi replace his sister, but he didn't want the fool to be unwilling. He had to wait for him. Sister Xi is back.

The most annoying thing is that Emperor Yongle actually agreed to this fool's words and did not let Chu Yunxi replace Chu Ruoxi to enter the palace as the crown princess, but deceived the world. With the specifications of the crown princess, he carried back the overhead sedan chair from Yilanju, crossed the sea secretly, and married Chu Ruoxi!

What annoyed Chu Yuanshan most was that Emperor Yongle also awarded his second daughter Chu Yunxi to marry Ke Qinyao as a side concubine and married him on the same day!
