Chapter 230 230 Face to face (first update)

Chu Qianhuang's lips trembled violently, and her expression changed several times.

She pinched her fingertips, quickly stabilized her emotions, and straightened her back.

Although seeing Chu Yunyi seriously injured made her somewhat regretful, Chu Qianhuang did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

One cannot stop eating because of choking.

"I'm doing this for the Chu family." Chu Qianhuang covered her red and swollen left face with one hand and looked directly into Chu Qianchen's eyes.

"No, you are doing it for yourself." Chu Qianchen said firmly, with a sneer on his lips.

Chu Qianhuang's words could probably only be used to deceive an innocent little kid like Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianhuang's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes dark.

Yes, her starting point was indeed for herself, but this matter was obviously more beneficial to the Chu family. It was because of uncontrollable changes that Chu Qianchen blamed her.

If everything went smoothly and Chu Yunyi only injured his hand, would Chu Qianchen still pursue the matter? ! I'm afraid no one would know that she had a share of credit for Chu Yunyi's rescue.

This is how things are in this world, whether you become a king or a bandit, what others see is just the result.

However, Chu Qianhuang would not say these words, nor would he admit it: "Second sister, if you want to accuse me, there is no need to hesitate."

"Brother Yi obviously put himself in danger for the sake of the Chu family and brother Mu."

"He told me that he wants Brother Mu to inherit the title of Marquis of Yongding in the future."

"I just gave him an idea..."

The more Chu Qianhuang talked about it, the more she felt that it was Shen and Chu Yunmu who clearly benefited from this matter. What qualifications did Chu Qianchen have to question her.

Chu Yunyi was her biological brother from both father and mother, and she felt sorry for him. She would not have given him this idea if she had no other choice.

Chu Qianchen kept staring at Chu Qianhuang, his gaze fixed, and his expression did not change at all.

When the other party had said enough, Chu Qianchen said slowly: "Really? So, are you not doing it for yourself? Aren't you afraid of losing your status as the daughter of the Hou family? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go to Nanhao?"

Chu Qianhuang's eyes suddenly widened following these words, unable to control her emotions at all, with an obvious look of surprise on her face.

How could it be? ! How did Chu Qianchen know that he wanted to go to Nanhao? !

He had obviously never told anyone that he wanted to go to Nanhao, nor had he shown any intention.

At this moment, Chu Qianhuang seemed to have been struck by lightning. His thoughts were extremely confused, and he was completely unable to think calmly. He was shocked, suspicious, panicked... In addition, there was a trace of fear.

"Do you think no one knows about your little thoughts?" Chu Qianchen raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

As long as you are a human being, you will have your own little thoughts, maybe for yourself, maybe for your loved ones, maybe for others.

Chu Qianchen was too lazy to care about Chu Qianhuang's little thoughts. It was her business for Chu Qianhuang to want to go to Nanhao, but she should not encourage Chu Yunyi to take risks.

A cold light bloomed in Chu Qianchen's eyes.

She was obviously sitting and Chu Qianhuang was standing, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Qianhuang was a bit condescending and arrogant, and her words released a pressure as heavy as the weight of a mountain.

"I didn't..."

Chu Qianhuang wanted to say something else, but Chu Qianchen no longer wanted to listen to Chu Qianhuang's words, and interrupted her with a sneer: "It's useless to talk more, why don't you go find the queen now and resign as the princess's companion?" How is the location?”

Once Chu Qianhuang is no longer the princess's companion, even if Da Qi marries Nan Hao, she will not be able to follow the third princess to Nan Hao.

Chu Qianhuang had been planning for so long and took great pains just to keep the position of the princess's companion, so how could he agree?

She couldn't take it anymore and looked at Chu Qianchen silently.

The two looked at each other quietly, as if they were engaged in a silent game, and there were faint sparks where their eyes met.

Chu Qianhuang took the lead to look away, avoiding Chu Qianchen's eyes, and whispered: "What's wrong with me finding a way out for myself?"

"You have also been a concubine, and you know how difficult it is to be a concubine. Without a mother or a maternal family to rely on, you have to rely on yourself for everything!"

She just wanted to keep her position as the princess's companion. She had no intention of sacrificing Chu Yunyi, nor did she deceive Chu Yunyi. Chu Yunyi was willing to go to Yuanqing Temple to save him, which was of his own free will.

Chu Qianchen looked at her coldly, his eyes full of ridicule, and his tone became more fierce: "Then why don't you go to Yuanqing Temple by yourself?"

"Why don't you go and save the driver yourself? Do you have to be generous to others?"

Chu Qianchen gradually raised his voice.

"..." Chu Qianhuang was caught off guard by this series of questions, as if he was being strangled by the neck, and could not answer any of them.

Chu Qianchen unceremoniously lifted off her mask of self-deception and said almost word for word: "Using Chu Yunyi's life to achieve your retreat?"

Chu Qianhuang's face turned pale at first, then turned flushed again, and her cheeks were burning. Even she didn't know whether it was because someone told her what she was thinking, or because of the slap just now.

Chu Qianhuang bit her lower lip guiltily until her lips turned white. Then she looked back at Chu Qianchen directly in front of her again, her lips twitching slightly.

She wanted to defend herself, but facing Chu Qianchen's cold eyes, she couldn't say a word.

Chu Qianchen's eyes flashed, and he could see that Chu Qianhuang was beginning to waver.

She calmly stroked her sleeves and gave Jiang Yuan a wink.

Jiang Yuan knew that it was his turn to appear, and said: "Princess, why do you have to be angry for this kind of people!"

Her tone was respectful when facing Chu Qianchen, but when she looked at Chu Qianhuang, her eyes were contemptuous and contemptuous, as if she were looking at bed bugs on the ground.

Chu Qianhuang felt as if her heart was spasming, and she clenched her hands tightly into fists.

The look in Jiang Yuan's face just now was like a knife cutting into her heart.

She is just a slave in the palace, and he can humiliate her like this and trample on her dignity like this.

Chu Qianhuang's cheeks hurt, and her heart hurt even more. She had to face the reality. She was too weak and naive now. Chu Qianchen just married into Prince Chen's palace, but once he became powerful, he became pretentious...

At this time, Chu Qianchen sighed and lowered his eyes slightly, "I just feel sorry for Brother Yi..."

Her voice was soft and soft, filled with deep compassion.

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, burning away the remaining sanity of Chu Qianhuang.

What does Chu Qianchen know, and what qualifications does she have to say that!

Chu Qianhuang's eyes were red and his chest was heaving. Suddenly, her emotions erupted like a volcano, she glared at Chu Qianchen and shouted, "What do you know?!"

"If it wasn't too late, if it wasn't the only way, how could I..."

Halfway through his words, Chu Qianhuang immediately realized that he had let something slip, so he shut up and stopped talking.

Chu Qianhuang glanced at Chu Qianchen again, that look was extremely complicated.

"I'll come see Brother Yi next time."

She said nothing more, rolled her sleeves, and left without looking back.

Chu Qianchen stared at Chu Qianhuang's leaving figure, his eyes gradually becoming deeper and deeper.

In the courtyard, Chu Qianhuang walked forward like the wind, her slender back showing a sense of dignity and absolute determination, as if nothing could shake her determination.

The autumn wind blows up the fallen leaves and flowers, adding a bit of desolation.

Amber also looked at Chu Qianhuang who was getting further away outside the room, and couldn't help but ask: "Princess, what on earth does she want to do?"

Chu Qianchen was also thinking about this issue and remained silent.

Just now, what did Chu Qianhuang mean by "it's too late"?

Chu Qianchen tapped his knuckles on the armrest a few times, and his thoughts began to change.

Her meeting with Chu Qianhuang was not just to vent her anger, but also to confirm something...

Sure enough.

Thinking back to what Chu Qianhuang had just said, Chu Qianchen's eyes became sharper.

Chu Qianhuang wanted to go to Nan Hao. Chu Qianchen had guessed this before, and she probably wanted to accompany the third princess as a companion when she married Nan Hao.

This is obviously unreasonable.

While thinking, Chu Qianchen slowly withdrew his gaze.

Everyone knows that Wuhejialou rejected the marriage between the two countries. Although the emperor still refused to give up, Chu Qianhuang was still sure that the marriage could be achieved. Why? !

Unless Chu Qianhuang is convinced that the marriage between the two countries is not something Wuhejialou can decide.

Only the emperors of the two countries can decide on the marriage between the two countries. Everyone knows how much Emperor Hao attaches importance to the eldest prince Wuhajialou, and the meaning of Wuhejialou is also what Emperor Hao means.

However, Chu Qianhuang is still sure that the marriage will happen, so where does her confidence come from? !

Chu Qianchen closed his eyes, discarded distracting thoughts, and sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

Did Uhagalou suddenly change his mind, or was Emperor Hao persuaded by others, or perhaps Uhagalou was unable to object...

Chu Qianchen thought about various possibilities, and then ruled them out...

Impossible, this is impossible, and that is even more impossible.

etc!

Chu Qianchen suddenly opened his eyes again.

Could it be said that something will happen to Uhagalou? !

Chu Qianhuang said "it's too late". She was in such a hurry, which meant there was not much time... Could something happen to him on the way back to Nanhao? !

Bang bang bang!

Chu Qianchen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he felt flustered.

The prince will send Wuhe Jialou to the territory of Nanhao. Counting the days, they should have reached the border of Qihao.

If something happens to Uhagalou, then the prince...

Thinking of Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen was in a state of confusion. He turned around and asked Jiang Yuan, "Is there a letter from the prince today?"

Because Gu Jue was on the road, it was not convenient to send letters. The carrier pigeons flew to Prince Chen's strongholds in various places before they could be delivered to Gu Jue. The period from when she sent the letter to when she received the reply was very long. So far, Chu Qianchen only received three letters in total.

"No." Jiang Yuan shook his head.

Chu Qianchen narrowed his eyes.

Until now, this has all been her speculation, without any actual evidence, and maybe nothing will happen...

However, Chu Qianchen couldn't let go.

She was certain that Chu Qianhuang knew a lot of things, many things that she shouldn't know.

Chu Qianchen looked outside the house again. Chu Qianhuang could no longer be seen outside, only the fallen leaves were still flying.

At this moment, Chu Qianhuang was sent off by the concierge and went out through the east corner door of the palace. The carriage of the Marquis Mansion was waiting outside the palace.

"Miss, your face..." Baoqin quickly saluted Chu Qianhuang, looking at her with a somewhat complicated look, and he was hesitant to speak.

There are still obvious fingerprints on the left side of Chu Qianhuang's face. Not only has there been no sign of slowing down, the swelling has become even worse.

With Baoqin's reminder, Chu Qianhuang felt more pain on her cheeks, her eyes were extremely sinister, and in her mind, Chu Qianchen's step-by-step approach just now appeared, peeling off her selfishness layer by layer, exposing her to the outside.

Chu Qianhuang's face turned blue and red, and she felt increasingly embarrassed.

She didn't want to say anything more, so after leaving the word "go home" behind, she picked up her skirt and got into the carriage.

When she entered the carriage, she discovered that there was another slim figure hidden in the carriage.

The woman was wearing a green coarse cloth dress, with a pointed chin, beautiful eyes with tears, her hair was tied up, and there was no jewelry except for a bamboo hairpin. Her body was so thin that she could hardly hold up the clothes.

"Aunt..." Chu Qianhuang called in a low voice.

The woman hiding in the carriage is Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang put her index finger on her lips and made a silencing gesture. She cautiously opened a corner of the curtain and glanced outside the carriage, fearing that someone would discover her.

Baoqin simply didn't enter the carriage, quickly closed the carriage door, and sat next to the coachman.
