Chapter 196 Dog Jumps Over the Wall
Xiaocao has only seen the benefactor mentioned by Concubine Li. Although it is a profile picture, it has made the little maid of honor flutter and admire the man.
"Are you talking about the tall and big son? I have only seen him once, and I have never seen him again.
There was a wry smile on Lifei's face, and the huge cold palace had to be their master and servant. If an outsider came, how could she not know that the prince who rescued her in the fire appeared twice afterwards, but after that, like a broken kite, there was no more news from him.
Ask Xiaocao casually is just a self-deception. At present, the situation is not clear, and she would like to ask the prince for help so that she can find out something about the prince.
Although the prince never said much, he repeatedly extended a helping hand to himself, a depressed man, and did not ask for anything. Invisibly, Concubine Li has regarded him as a trustworthy person.
"If the previous girl hadn't come, no one would have been to this cold place for a long time!" Concubine Li picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it cleanly. "Well, I'll ask for half a day to have a good night's sleep."
She turned into the inner room and left a stunned grass. It was not until the old bead curtain made a crisp "jingle" sound that she came to her senses and quickly followed, "I am waiting for the maidservant to sleep!"
At dawn, the eunuch in the palace opened the Zhuqi gate of the Duke of Dingguo Mansion. Chu Yuanshan learned that the queen had fallen into Lutai and died tragically. His eyes were wide open and he stared at the eunuch who reported the news, "Really!"
The eunuch was dressed in plain clothes and looked at Chu Yuanshan's cold eyes with a sad expression. He was even more frightened. His body trembled with fear and trembled and explained the queen in detail.
Chu Yuanshan clenched his fists, and Liang, who served on one side, could clearly hear the "sneer" of his gums, but he had excellent endurance and did not go crazy in front of the eunuch. When the eunuch finished speaking, Chu Yuanshan woke up like a dream and sighed with tears: "Empress, my poor sister!"
"Master... I'm sorry!" The eunuch who reported the news with Liang was trying to comfort him. Chu Yuanshan covered his chest and shouted, "It hurts me!" He fell straight back and fainted.
The Chu family had a series of disasters, and the Duke of Ding was also the head of the Chu family. He scared the Liang family and cried a little, and the Duke of Ding was in chaos.
Chu Ruoxi was quite surprised to hear the news that the queen had died for the first time, especially when she learned that the queen went to Lutai to relax and that the slave died tragically by neglecting!
How could Lutai fall the queen? What else should Lutai do?
However, according to the news in the palace, the "stupid prince" was angry with the slave's dereliction of duty, killed the queen, and fainted the emperor. He angrily took the sword and went to kill those powerless eunuchs Gong'e. Later, the eunuch beside the prince stopped him and persuaded him bitterly. He asked the prince to order the bodyguards to kill dozens of people, large and small. Only then will he give up.
Yang Yi pretended to be stupid and killed people. He could deceive people all over the world, but he could not deceive Chu Ruoxi. He did not wait for Chu Yuanshan to destroy the human certificate first, and it was clear that there was a ghost in his heart!
A breeze hit, and Qiao Alin flew in from the wall of the courtyard and fell in front of her. "Miss, Alin is back."
After more than a year of planning, Chu Ruoxi's eyesights were all over the capital. As early as the eunuch left the palace to deliver letters, her people sent the news first.
Qiao Alin only delayed half a cup of tea from the eunuch in the palace and returned home.
"Have you found out about the queen?"
"This time, it was very tricky, but you can be sure that Emperor Yongle tamped in the middle of this. When the queen had an accident, all the servants around him were killed by the prince. No one knew what happened at that time. Moreover, when the queen's accident, Emperor Yongle and the prince were not present. They also avoided suspicions too cleanly. It's suspicious!"
Chu Ruoxi shook his head slightly and felt that Yang Yiping was not so simple. His city was so deep that he would not do such a superficial thing to help the father and son get rid of suspicion, which was deliberately suspicious.
"Have you checked the prince? What's the difference between him?"
Speaking of the prince, Qiao Alin wanted to stop talking, which made Chu Ruoxi very unhappy. "What do you say is when you become so awkward?"
"No, the young lady misunderstood. The prince doesn't seem to be as simple as it appeared. Last night, in order to investigate him, Alin deliberately sneaked into the Zhengde Hall and found that the Zhengde Hall was no longer what it used to be. Not to mention many secret whistles, some of the powerful masters were hidden in the dark, and Alin could not approach the prince!"
Qiao Alin's face was ashamed. Since he knew that the masked man's martial arts were above him, he had a feeling that he could not raise his head in front of Chu Ruoxi and felt that he was powerless.
Chu Ruoxi's eyelashes flashed and thought to himself: The powerful person Qiao Alin felt must be Liang Ziyang. Liang Ziyang was arrogant and willing to be the prince's retreat, which was not like his temperament.
Turning to think about it, Liang Ziyang naturally knows how the queen died...
Chu Yuanshan's son died tragically. Now it's his sister's turn. No matter how resourceful he is, I'm afraid he can't stand this increasingly tight crisis and won't sit back and wait for the death of a mermaid.
"Alin, if such a big thing happened in the court, my father will not forget it. You let people find a way to lead the death of the queen to Yongle Emperor, and then involve Chu Yuanshan, which can make Chu Yuanshan feel that the emperor is the best layout to deal with the Chu family..."
"Alin understands. I'll arrange it later."
Hundreds of thousands of troops in Chu Yuanshan's hands, coupled with the forces controlled by his cronies in the court, as long as he rebelled and his party members are in chaos, the Zhou Dynasty will be punctured with thousands of holes.
I just thought it was an exciting thing. Chu Ruoxi was full of confidence. Although Chu Yuanshan would definitely write to her second brother Chu Zhihuai, she would not miss this great opportunity to tell Chu Zhihuai about the grievances of the Chu family.
I looked for pen and ink, thought for a while, and cried about the queen's misery. The Chu family was in deep water and fire. They were about to enter the palace, and no one took care of them. I'm afraid they would be in a worse situation than the queen...
Chu Yuanshan's confidant came to ask for it. It was expected that Chu Ruoxi went to see Chu Yuanshan with sadness for the queen's business.
I found that Chu Yuanshan only passed on to her, not to mention the other sisters and brothers of the Chu family, not even the mistress Liang family.
"Father, aunt...Queen..." Chu Ruoxi's nose was sore that she couldn't say anything sad when she saw Chu Yuanshan.
Chu Yuanshan was sad and angry. He couldn't bear his daughter's sadness and comforted her, "Ruoxi, the queen is blessed. She went without an explanation. Don't be too sad. Although the queen is gone, his father will take good care of you and won't let anyone hurt you."
"However, the queen's death is so miserable. She is the master of the harem. As the mother of the dynasty, there are so many slaves and guards. How can she fall off the deer platform? Father, Ruoxi doesn't believe it!"
Chu Ruoxi's eyes were sad. Speaking of the queen's death, he was indignant and didn't believe it at all.
Of course, Chu Yuanshan would not believe it, but Emperor Yongle's hand tail was clean this time, and his people could not find any mistake of Emperor Yongle at all. Even the murder was owned by the stupid prince, which had nothing to do with Emperor Yongle.
"Alas, I don't know what happened to the Chu family during this period. Well, unexpectedly..." As soon as he said this, Chu Yuanshan remembered his beloved son. His heart seemed to have been sawed by a saw knife, but when the Chu family came to life and death, he could only resist the pain. "The dead are dead, and the living can't watch the misfortune coming. Attack, but it will only be submissive. We have to protect ourselves.
"Father's meaning... Was the queen really murdered?" Chu Ruoxi pretended to be surprised and looked incredible.
Chu Yuanshan was heartbroken, but his tone was still stable. "Ruoxi, it was my father who was sorry for Zhicheng and the empress. He thought that the emperor would take care of his old feelings and would not do anything to the Chu family. However, his father was wrong. The minister will always be a foreign surname, not the emperor's own family. No matter how much the credit is, there will be a day when the lackey cooks. My father is ignorant. Ah!"
Is Chu Yuanshan going to think about the pain and make up his mind to turn against Emperor Yongle?
Chu Ruoxi did not show his face, but just cried, delicate and helpless appearance, which made the people feel sad.
"Father, was the queen killed by the emperor's order? How come, the emperor and the queen are deeply in love. Did the emperor forget that they experienced the rebellion of the vassal king together? Without the Empress and our Chu family, there would be no emperor today!"
It's okay not to say what happened in those years. Chu Yuanshan was annoyed as soon as he said, "Those things have passed, and it doesn't make sense to mention them again. It was only when his father was fascinated by the wind and sand that he supported such a white-eyed wolf."
Chu Yuanshan waved his hand, "That's all, it's useless to say more. Solve the current dilemma first. Twenty days later, it will be the day you died, that is, when you entered the palace as a concubine. The fool cared you very much and listened to you very much. My father expected you to enter the palace as a mistress and could protect hundreds of people in the Chu family. Now it seems that things may not be as simple as we think.
Chu Ruoxi replied indifferently, "The prince is too stupid. Although he can listen to his daughter's words, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not listen when others charm him and deceive him..."
"Ruoxi, my father ignores those. As long as my father asks you to enter the palace first, charm this fool and control the power in his hand, you can put the rest aside first." Chu Yuanshan's eyes were a little praying, "If you marry a fool, my father also knows that it's wrong you, but a fool has the benefits of a fool. At least he is obedient. His father can't continue to let others control. His father wants to protect the Chu family, protect you after entering the palace, and control the harem. No one dares to be disrespectful to you at all."
"What does father mean?" Chu Ruoxi was a little suspicious that Emperor Yongle was still there. Even if he entered the palace, Yang Yiping did not have real power. What's the use of listening to himself? What's more, he wouldn't really listen to himself at all.
