Blood Eater

Chapter 22 Does the stupid prince still understand this?

Chu Ruoxi estimated that even if the prince was not dead, as long as the prince was suppressed and the queen was disgusted, he would not be able to get ahead.

No wonder when I saw him so decadent that day, he was such a big man. He didn't want to make progress and thought of a cat.

Chu Ruoxi secretly despised the slightly stupid Third Highness from the bottom of his heart and suddenly woke up, "Brother, that...who?"

"That's right, it's Yang Yiping. Is he a little... a little problem?" Chu Ruoxi pointed to his head.

"Why do you care so much about him? I just told you not to pay attention to him anymore." Chu Zhicheng rolled his eyes and looked like he hated that he couldn't make steel. "Can't you make your brother worry-free..."

Chu Ruoxi stroked the phoenix on her wrist through her shirt sleeve and no longer asked Chu Zhicheng. Yang Yiping in Zhengde Hall had a problem, so he couldn't find out if he didn't believe it.

The carriage passed Chang'an Street, and the street crowd** almost hit something.

Chu Zhicheng's face sank, "Shit, how did you drive?"

"Master, many officers and soldiers are going out of the city, and the villains are worried that they will bump into the prince and the eldest lady."

Liu Bei was Chu Zhicheng's confidant. When he saw that the officers and soldiers of the brigade went to the south gate with long knives and short guns, he let the carriage give way.

Chu Ruoxi raised the curtain and said to Chu Zhicheng with a light smile, "Is such a big battle a major crime of the court?"

Chu Zhicheng snorted coldly, "Xier, my brother will deal with the aftermath for you. That's all for this time. Don't mention it again."

Chu Ruoxi quietly looked at the heavily guarded imperial city. The dragon flag of Zheng'anmen was displayed, and the cold light reflected on the silver gun of the imperial guard on the tower penetrated her heart. In those years, Yang Zicheng trampled on the blood of the Guo family from Zheng'anmen and ascended to the throne that had been peeped for a long time.

At the Duke of Dingguo Mansion, Chu Yuanshan went down and returned to the house. Chu Ruoxi saw that his father's face was not good and did not know what had happened. Chu Zhicheng's handsome sword eyebrows sitting under his father were also tightly gathered, with an angry face.

Chu Yuanshan put the tea heavily on the red willow tree. "This Qin Yongzhong is too ignorant. He has helped me several times in vain. He is not grateful. Today, he is actually in front of the Lord and openly accuses me of ignoring the suffering of the victims and enriching my own pockets. Can I be the Duke of the country and still be jealous of those bitches to save the people's money? It's really annoying."

Liang also looked embarrassed, "This Qin Yongzhong is really an ungrateful thing. If it hadn't been for the master's suggestion, he, a small Taoist, would not have known where he was?"

She glanced at Chu Ruoxi and said, "Last time about Taiye Lake, his daughter didn't know the depth of heaven and earth. She had the idea of hitting the crown princess before entering the palace. Fortunately, God had eyes and didn't let them harm Ruoxi. This time it was even more excessive and dared to attack the master."

For Chu Ruoxi's fall into the water, the Chu family had a lingering heart. When the old things were mentioned again, Chu Yuanshan and others couldn't help looking at Chu Ruoxi.

When Chu Ruoxi saw Liang complaining about Qin Yongzhong in front of Chu Yuanshan, she knew that it must have been something Liang secretly did, forcing Qin Yongzhong's dog to jump over the wall. In order to protect himself, he would rather offend the first powerful man of the dynasty and not hesitate to let go.

"It was indeed Miss Qin who pulled me into the water that day, and I really didn't push her." Chu Ruoxi's eyes turned from Liang's face to Chu Yuanshan, "Father, Lord Qin must be worried about the imperial garden that day. Does he... still refuse to let me go?"

While she spoke, her helpless eyes made Chu Yuanshan more heartbroken. He twisted his hands in a handkerchief. "His Royal Highness once said that the daughter of the Qin family is dignified and the most suitable for the family. It is rumored that Qin Yulan's sister is more beautiful than Qin Yulan. Father, does His Royal Highness intend to marry Qin Da? Does someone's daughter enter the palace?

It doesn't matter whether the prince said this or not. Chu Ruoxi felt that as long as his father thought there was a crisis, it was the most important.

Sure enough, in Chu Yuanshan's sophisticated and deep eyes, a sharp light that people could not look directly shot out in an instant. He looked out of the hall, "The spirit of heaven? Except for my daughter Chu Yuanshan, who dares to get this honor?

Chu Yuanshan stood up and ordered, "Liu Sheng, take my name post to the residence of Lord Xin Deshengxin, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and ask Lord Xin to go to the Jade Bamboo Garden to taste tea someday."

Chu Yuanshan said to Chu Zhicheng again, "Zhicheng, come to the study with me. My father has something to negotiate with you and ask his wife to take Ruoxi back to the room to rest first."

Chu Ruoxi saluted and left, and a light smile appeared in her eyebrows. Counting the days, her heart ached, and her father's death was coming. Poor Guo's descendants for so many years had no news, but I'm afraid that her father's lonely grave would have been desolate for a long time.

Rumor has it that Yang Zi became an emperor who showed his mind and ordered people to bury Emperor Shunyi with the emperor's gift. At the same time, he buried the bodies of many concubines in the harem in Luoyan Mountain 30 miles away from the capital.

The treacherous villain guessed Yang Zicheng's intention, praised Yang Zicheng's righteousness, and even took the beginning of the new dynasty. On the grounds that it was appropriate to be simple, in the end, it was just a hasty burial and deceived the world.

Chu Yunxi looked at Chu Ruoxi and his party passing through the corridor and went to Yilan's back, and said unwillingly, "Mother, Chu Ruoxi is incompetent and can't please the prince. If it goes like this, won't it give everyone a chance to take advantage of the glory of the Chu family?"

Liang glanced at the direction of Yilanju, turned to Chunhui Hall, and sarcastically said, "His Royal Highness likes dignified and gentle women. Chu Ruoxi has been used to it since she was a child, and she can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. It's no wonder that Her Royal Highness likes her."

Chu Yunxi caught up with Liang and said gladly, "Thanks to my mother's thoughtfulness, she accommodated her from trivial matters and indulged her, which made her arrogant and capricious today. When I was a child, I was secretly annoyed that my mother did not help her daughter, and now I finally know my mother's good intentions."

"It's good to know, and it's not in vain for my mother to suffer for so many years for you and Zhi."

Chunhuitang was close in front of him. Liang's face was straight and whispered, "Although you are young, the prince is different from Chu Ruoxi. Chu Ruoxi's all kinds of things are not your mirror. You must not learn from her."

"Yes, Yunxi knows how to measure."

Liang stepped into Chunhui Hall, "Remember, without natural good luck, everything is won by yourself."

Chu Yunxi's elegant and handsome face flashed in Chu Yunxi's mind, gritted his teeth with hatred for Chu Ruoxi, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would replace Chu Ruoxi to sit in the position of the crown princess.

Yilan lived under the purple bamboo forest, and the two figures stood one by one. The person standing was dressed in a purple robe. The soft moonlight pulled his figure long, and his resolute face showed awe of the little girl sitting in front of the stone platform.

The little girl has beautiful facial features, and her eyebrows have not yet grown, like a clear lotus. Under the hazy moonlight, she has a charming posture.

The little girl was exactly Chu Ruoxi. Her pair of shallow eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes unconsciously fell into the distance, but her heart was as restless as a river and blue waves.

For a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind and looked together, "Alin, are you sure that the Third Highness is a fool? Isn't it pretend?"

"Alin has carefully investigated that when the new emperor ascended the throne, because of the favor of the harem, the imperial concubine was defeated and was thrown into the cold palace. Her five-year-old son almost died in the imperial garden. At that time, he was lucky..."

Qiao Alin hesitated for a moment, and Chu Ruoxi was shocked by what he said. "In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, there are so many eunuchs and maids. How can they fall into the little prince? The snobbish people understand what's going on, and they won't poke their own nose into their own death. The strange thing is that the young lady went to the palace to play and bumped into her. You were only two years old, but you had to let the imperial doctor save him, otherwise you were afraid that he would have fallen to death.

Chu Ruoxi's heart jumped suddenly, but she had no impression of what she had done in those years. When she met him in Zhengde Hall that night, she felt a little strange.

His words are indeed not like what a normal prince should say, but Chu Ruoxi always feels that something is hidden in the invisible eyes in the dark. Is he really a fool?

"You mean, the little prince died in a big disaster, but broke his brain?"

Qiao Alin nodded and said, "It is precisely this truth. The lady's presence shocked the emperor, and the imperial doctor did not dare to neglect the little prince any more. It was true that he was saved, but his brain was broken. The emperor's sons were already few. It was very sad to suffer from this blow, and he did not hope for this prince."

Chu Ruoxi frowned and said nothing. Qiao Alinton continued: "The emperor took care of his stupidity, so he did not let him move to the palace and stay in the palace to take care of him. Because he was not favored and the queen's disgusted, the people who took care of him were very casual. This prince could not be on the table. The emperor did not remember him, and almost in the palace It's an invisible person."

"No hope, invisible man..." Chu Ruoxi muttered softly and looked up at the bright moon in the air. He couldn't help but feel: If he hadn't pretended to be crazy, then this situation may be the best protection he can live in this life.

The dark clouds covered the moon, and the night was deep. Chu Ruoxi straightened his mind and withdrew his eyes, "Alin, have you found out where the tomb of Emperor Shunyi is?"

"Miss Hui, everything has been found out. The remains of the emperor of the previous dynasty are buried on the north slope of Luoyan Mountain."

"Beast!"

Chu Ruoxi scolded in her heart that Yang Zicheng, a treacherous sycophant, actually buried his father's generation of monarchs in the north. The vicious heart is really worse than pigs and dogs.

"Help me get ready. I'm going to Luoyan Mountain in three days."

Qiao Alin answered "yes" behind Chu Ruoxi.

The wind makes the leaves rustle. Qiao Alin's body suddenly flashed in front of Chu Ruoxi and whispered, "Be careful, there is someone."

A dark shadow flew out of Chu Ruoxi's inner courtyard like the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye over the wall.

Chu Ruoxi didn't think about it. As soon as she raised her anger, she wanted to catch up. "Oh", she just jumped and fell back to the ground, forgetting that this body had no martial arts!

quickly told Qiao Alin, "Come on, follow me and get it back."

"Yes."

Jiao Alin pointed to the ground, and his body rose in the air and quietly followed the shadow away.

Had given time for Chu Ruoxi to sigh, a scream came from Yilanju's warm jade pavilion. She turned around and secretly said, "No, something happened..."
