Chapter 237 Conspiracy
Emperor Yongle wanted to support the intention of Zhengxihou to check and balance the government. How could he hide it from Chu Yuanshan? When he was in power for more than ten years, how could he give others a chance to step on himself?
The palace sent back the news, and his eldest daughter Chu Ruoxi returned to the palace, which surprised him. For the sake of safety, the first thing he wanted was to test whether his eldest daughter here had noticed that there were killers she had sent to the assassins.
"Your Highness sent you back home in person. How can you bear it? When my father learned the news, he just had time to pick you up. Come on, my father will take you home."
"No... Duke Ding, you misunderstood. I didn't go to your house. My father's order ordered me and my sister Ruoxi to go to the Western Houfu to mourn and express condolences to my wife and children."
Yang Yiping grabbed Chu Ruoxi and said, "Sister Ruoxi, it's getting late. Let's go quickly. If you can't catch dinner, you will be hungry."
Chu Ruoxi burst into tears and looked at Chu Yuanshan with a wry smile, "Father, the emperor has issued a decree to tell the world that her daughter is the crown princess who personally 'married' into the palace from the Duke of Dingguo. The emperor's order is in it, and it can't be delayed!"
No matter how popular the wind is, he has also been eliminated by Chu Yuanshan. Emperor Yongle became more and more disobedient, which made him have a grudge for a long time. At present, the emperor is terminally ill, and the prince is stupid. He is obsessed with his daughter. What he wants is to shock the mountain and knock the tiger, and let the people of the court stop evil, thinking that the Chu family has lost its power to be the wall. Grass, we should clearly teach Emperor Yongle a lesson. Without Chu Yuanshan, the dragon chair of Dazhou would not be so easy to sit on.
"The Zhengxi Hou Mansion has just died. It's miserable. You are the new crown princess. It's hard to go anywhere. Your mother doesn't know how much she cried for your affairs. Come on, go back with your father. Where is the emperor? My father will explain it well."
Chu Yuanshan waved his hand behind him. The frame of the Chu family was not inferior to that of the palace. He led Chu Ruoxi to step on the car and said to the stupid Yang Yiping, "Your Highness, if you don't dislike it, the house is equipped with thin wine and drink a few cups, which is also a good way for Ruoxi to come back to pick up the wind and wash the dust."
"This..." Yang Yiping's stupid face flashed away with excitement. He shook his head and said, "No, no, my father ordered me to go to the West House first. I can't help but listen to my father's words! Sister Ruoxi, your father asked you to go to the Western Houfu with me. Do you still want to go?
Chu Ruoxi has 100 important things to do. It is exactly what she wants to do. Chu Yuanshan finally dared to challenge the emperor. She was even more happy. It's better to force him to rise up immediately against Emperor Yongle. "I'm tired of my parents' worries. I can come back by chance, and I can't be unfilial. I'll go back to see him first. Mother, please give my mother a good look! Please forgive me!"
Yang Yiping was stunned for a while and frowned at Chu Ruoxi. He didn't know what to do. Chu Yuanshan smiled at him and said, "Ruoxi's daughter's house is not suitable to go to the funeral place. The old minister will take her back home first. If your Highness does not come to the old minister's house, please feel free!"
He raised his arm gently, put down the curtain and said, "Let's go!" Yang Yi, who left with a blank face, left unrestrainedly.
The carriage gradually moved away, Yang Yiping's stupid eyes gently closed, and the terrible murderous atmosphere surged. In an instant, he returned to his car, "Go to the West Waiting House!"
After the mistress Liang saw Chu Ruoxi, she cried exaggeratedly and made her feel false. Everyone was ashamed. After several hypocritical feelings, Chu Yuanshan took her to the study, sent everyone, and looked at her daughter with a worried look.
Chu Ruoxi's eyebrows were deeply locked and looked back at Chu Yuanshan, with a trace of resentment, "Yunxi... why did you enter the palace?"
Although she is capricious and unruly, she has always been obedient in front of Chu Yuanshan. This time, her words are heavy, and she is more questioning.
It was forced by the situation to let Chu Yunxi replace Chu Ruoxi in the palace. In order to preserve Yang and Chu's marriage and consolidate the power of the Chu family, she must do. Now that she has returned, Chu Yuanshan can't give her an explanation. "My father knows that this is wrong, but... the prince's wedding is approaching, but the crown princess is nowhere to be found, and the emperor intends to help her. Zhengxi Hou's woman is the side concubine of the prince. Isn't this hitting you in the face? However, the emperor insists on doing so. Although the prince likes you, he can't disrespect the emperor's will. His heart is even more simple. With all kinds of helplessness, his father let Yunxi enter the palace. In this way, at least when you come back, the prince's thoughts will not fall on Ke Qinyao. Yun Xitong Your sisters, you sisters, don't have to worry about losing in the palace. It's not my daughter of the Chu family who spoils the harem!"
Chu Yuanshan said so much in one breath and carefully checked Chu Ruoxi's expression. Her eyebrows were lowered and he couldn't help sighing again, "Ruoxi, you don't know anything. The emperor's mind has changed. The Chu family is in deep trouble, and his father was forced to do so!"
"My father is the first noble in the dynasty, and it is not difficult to call for wind and rain. How can he be deep and hot?" Chu Ruoxi deliberately looked stunned. She just wanted to attract Chu Yuanshan to start the army as soon as possible!
"The cunning rabbit cooks the dog to death. The emperor doesn't need the Chu family now. The Chu family is in the way!" After saying that, his eyes were more lonely. He put his hand on Chu Ruoxi's shoulder and was gently afraid. After walking back to the bookcase, he looked solemn.
"Does the emperor want to kill his father?" Her voice trembled slightly.
"Accompanying you like a tiger, the emperor's mind is difficult to guess, and the road ahead of the Chu family is worrying..." He frowned and his eyes became more angry, "You had an accident in Tian'en Temple. The prince saw you fall off the cliff with his own eyes. After knowing it, the Tian family was not in a hurry to send someone to find your whereabouts. Instead, it blocked Tianen Temple within ten miles. No one can Entering, even the people sent by my father... were blocked out, which was really annoying! It can be seen that the emperor is indifferent to my Chu family.
When he said lies, he was not ambiguous at all, but unfortunately, Chu Ruoxi in front of him was no longer his unruly woman who could only mess around. She took a step forward, "In this case, what is your father hesitate about?"
"Ruoxi, you?" Chu Yuanshan's heart jumped. Although Chu Zhihuai, a new son far away in the frontier, had hoped that he could do this in private, Chu Yuanshan always had some scruples and did not dare to act rashly. He planned to wait for Emperor Yongle to return to heaven, and the fool took advantage of his obsession with his daughter to seize power again. He was worried that Chu Ruoxi would be partial to the heavenly family and could not do it for me. Used.
I didn't expect her to be so bold and directly turned herself against it!
"The heavenly family is faint and ruthless. If the Chu family does not protect itself, do they have to sit and wait for death and be doomed? Father, what are you still hesitating about?
Chu Ruoxi's eyes were full of tears, lying on the bookcase, and his body kept trembling. "Although His Royal Highness is stupid, he knows a lot of things. He doesn't understand. How can he not understand when it reaches his daughter's ears? Does your father still remember Brother Zhicheng? Big brother... The eldest brother was killed by the design of the emperor and the former prince. Father, you..."
She was heartbroken and speechless.
Hearing her mention of her tragic death, Chu Yuanshan's heart seemed to have been stabbed. With a muffled sound, his fist fell on the table, and the brush resting on the green jade pen holder bounced and rolled to one side.
Chu Yuanshan's eyes were full of sadness. After a long time, he opened the dark grid, took out a letter, and handed it to Chu Ruoxi, "Look..."
He was still extremely angry before, and in an instant, he turned back to the quiet Duke Dingguo above the court.
Chu Ruoxi opened it and almost laughed three times with excitement. Inside were two secret letters. One was Chu Zhihuai complaining that the emperor had added a major army around his station, and secretly demoted several of his capable vice generals to other places to assume idle positions and overhead power.
There were many dissatisfactions in his words, and his brother died tragically. His sister's death in distress was bitter to the heavenly family, and he had the intention of taking troops back to Beijing to ask for a speech for Chu Ruoxi.
Another letter was intercepted by Chu Yuanshan and ordered by the emperor to march to the west and secretly transfer troops to the suburbs of the capital with the king of Ruijun, who was far away in Chang'an County...
Chu Ruoxi's hand was trembling, looking up at Chu Yuanshan and swayed slightly, "This... this... father, emperor... are you really going to destroy the Chu family? Is it true that the Empress's matter is that the emperor personally pushed down the deer platform?
"Ruoxi, there are some things that my father doesn't want to hide from you anymore. The Chu family is in danger. We have to protect ourselves, but... There is a strong hidden power around the emperor. They kill without trace and are not fully sure. My father dares to gamble with the whole Chu family, let alone destroy your glory and wealth!"
"What does father mean?"
Chu Ruoxi gently bit her lower lip, as if no matter what decision Chu Yuanshan made, she was willing to sacrifice herself for the Chu family.
"Clean up the details of the 'Long Yin' that protects the royal family. Only by removing them first can we save the Chu family, so as not to be secretly prevented by this group of people from replacing the Yang family from becoming the supreme plan in the world!"
Chu Yuanshan is really worried about Liang Ziyang!
"Father, don't worry. Ruoxi can start from the prince and find out Longyin's context and help his father and brother achieve success as soon as possible!"
"Good! Good Ruoxi!" Chu Yuanshan loosened his clenched fist, pressed on the back of Chu Ruoxi's hand, and held her hand. "If the prince ascends the throne and can let the Chu family live, his father doesn't want to go anywhere to delay your glory and wealth. However, don't worry, no matter who will become king in the future, his father will not treat you badly!"
Chu Ruoxi quickly interrupted Chu Yuanshan's words, "Father's words are serious. Ruoxi didn't ask for those. The eldest brother was killed. If Ruoxi can help him revenge, there will be no regret in his heart. This is enough."
"Don't worry, your father will avenge the death of your queen's aunt!"
Chu Yuanshan was determined to replace Yang as the lord of the world. He negotiated with Chu Ruoxi. He secretly wrote to the border army's son overnight, negotiated to deal with the emperor's plan to surround the army, and explained some things to Chu Ruoxi. Then he was relieved and ordered Chu Ruoxi to send him back to Yilanju.
The moon shadow slanted to the west, and Chu Ruoxi returned to Yilanju. Everything was the same as before, but she seemed to have been reborn. Her heart was full of blood and she couldn't sleep for a long time.
"Miss!"
A figure fell silently and stood beside her. She was happy and Qiao Alin came back.
"Alin..." Chu Ruoxi sensed from Qiao Alin's eyes that something must have happened outside. For a moment, she didn't care to ask him how to get out of danger. She moved and walked to the inner room. "It's just right to come back. I'm tired. I can't sleep well without you to protect me at night!"
