Chapter 232 2.32 million (third update)
Aunt Jiang poured a cup of tea for Chu Qianhuang herself, "Sister Huang, I think you are a little angry. I have some scented tea that can clear away heat and relieve internal heat..." Aunt Jiang sighed and said no more.
Chu Qianhuang comforted her and said, "Auntie, as long as Brother Yi gets the title, you can return to the Marquis Mansion."
Aunt Jiang's eyes widened slightly, a fire ignited in her eyes, and then suddenly extinguished, she mentioned the old words again: "Sister Huang, I don't know what's going on with Brother Yi in the palace. I'm really worried about him..."
"You are just like him, you are a piece of flesh that fell from my body. When I think about it, my heart is as sharp as a knife..."
Aunt Jiang's curved eyebrows seemed to be frowning, her eyelashes trembled, and the crystal tears finally slipped from the corners of her eyes. She looked pitiful, weak and helpless.
"Auntie, don't break your body from crying." Chu Qianhuang hurriedly wiped the tears from Aunt Jiang's face with a handkerchief.
Aunt Jiang's eyes were dim with tears, and her rolling tears couldn't stop falling.
She sighed sadly: "Today the results of the joint trial of the three divisions came out. The emperor pardoned your father and sentenced him to eight hundred miles of exile. The title of the Marquis Mansion was also kept... This is what Brother Yi paid for with his life." ”
"Before I came to the prince's palace, I went back to the prince's palace. Now the palace is full of joy. The servants said that the fourth young master is too young to inherit the title. The title must be inherited by your second uncle..."
"Poor Brother Yi, his life and death are still unknown. They have completely forgotten about him..."
The more Aunt Jiang cried, the sadder she became, choking slightly.
Chu Qianhuang was initially panicked because of Chu Yunyi's injury, but it was not until this moment that she began to calm down and frowned.
Chu Yunyi was still in danger at this moment, but the second wife seemed to be fine and already coveted the title.
Also, the third and fourth bedrooms are both concubines, and there is no way they can compete with the second bedroom for the title.
The second uncle and the second aunt had long been dissatisfied with the eldest brother. This time something happened to the eldest brother, the second uncle and the second aunt did not help at all. Instead, they blamed the eldest brother for causing trouble to the other three eldest brothers.
It's good now that the title is saved, and they still want to take advantage of it.
Without Chu Yunyi's rescue, the title of the Marquis Mansion would have been lost long ago. There is no doubt that the title must belong to the eldest son, and no one can take it away.
Chu Yunmu is the legitimate son, but he is only five years old. If he inherits the title, according to the rules, he will have to wait at least another seven or eight years. After all, the Daqi Dynasty has never produced a five-year-old prince.
Even if the emperor showed extra mercy and allowed Chu Yunmu to inherit the title, the Chu family was now in a state of turmoil, and Chu Yunmu would not be able to support the Chu family at his age.
Chu Qianhuang's eyes were calm, and a thoughtful light flashed across his eyes.
"Sister Huang, what if..." Aunt Jiang stared at Chu Qianhuang and held her hand again, breathing heavily.
She took two deep breaths before she regained her composure, and said in a trembling voice, "If Brother Yi really... won't you and I be helpless in the future..."
"Auntie, Brother Yi will be fine." Chu Qianhuang raised his eyes and met Aunt Jiang's eyes, spoke slowly, as if he had made an important decision, and said, "This is what Brother Yi wants to do." The title that has been saved by one’s life cannot be given to others.”
That's right, Chu Yun Yicai should inherit the title.
Chu Yunyi is her biological brother. Both in terms of character and talent, he is far superior to Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu. For the eldest son, it is definitely better for him to take the title than the uncle next door.
After all, she was partly responsible for why Chu Yunyi was seriously injured this time.
He was recovering from his injuries now, and she couldn't just wait around. She had to try to win the title back for him, so as to repay his favor.
Aunt Jiang's eyebrows finally relaxed slightly, as if she had a backbone, and she said earnestly: "Sister Huang, I completely rely on you."
"I only believe in you. Brother Yi is staying in Prince Chen's Mansion and with Sister Chen. I really can't worry..."
When Chu Qianhuang met Aunt Jiang's eyes, she really couldn't say no, so she could only agree: "I'll go find my grandmother when I get back."
While she answered, she was thinking with a headache on how she should persuade Madam Tai to go to Prince Chen's Mansion to bring Chu Yunyi back.
Thinking about it, Chu Qianhuang frowned again and bit her lower lip slightly.
I don’t know what Chu Qianchen was thinking. Originally, she could ask the imperial doctor and the doctor to come directly to the Hou Mansion to treat Chu Yunyi. However, she had to take the extra step to take him to the palace, causing her to spend more money now. He persuaded the madam to go and pick him up.
If you don't do it right, it will make the Dowager unhappy.
Chu Qianchen was really pretending, even though Chu Yunyi was not her brother, she still pretended to be affectionate and righteous.
etc!
Chu Qianhuang suddenly thought of something and whispered to himself: "Could it be that..."
"What did you say?" Aunt Jiang asked eagerly, clenching Chu Qianhuang's fingers.
Chu Qianhuang pursed her lips.
Chu Yunmu is Chu Qianchen's younger brother. Under normal circumstances, Chu Qianchen should naturally help Chu Yunmu fight for the title.
Just before she entered the palace, she saw from a distance that the carriage of Duke Mu entered the palace before her. In other words, Shen must have also gone to the palace.
Why does Mrs. Shen want to go to Prince Chen's Mansion? !
The reason is obvious, for the title of Marquis Yongding.
so-
Chu Qianchen just said so much to her "righteously", but in fact he just wanted to make her feel guilty and stop her from helping Chu Yunyi fight for the title.
Chu Yunyi was young and naive, and originally thought that the title should belong to Shen and her son. Now that he was seriously injured, Chu Qianchen was the only one standing by his side. He was afraid that if she coaxed him casually, he would reveal his heart to others. Lungs.
Chu Qianhuang didn't answer the question and said, "We should bring Brother Yi back as soon as possible."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was like this. No matter how beautifully Chu Qianchen's words were said, in the final analysis, she had selfish motives. Chu Qianhuang raised a hand and opened a corner of the curtain, turned back and glanced in the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion.
The carriage had already driven several streets away, and she could no longer see Prince Chen's Mansion.
The sky is clear and blue, and occasionally a group of wild geese fly over high in the sky.
The geese pass by without leaving a trace, and the autumn breeze blows.
Chu Qianchen, who was still in Shaohua Hall at this moment, was also looking at the wild geese in the blue sky. The wild geese flew away and Su Mubai arrived.
Before Su Mubai could salute, Chu Qianchen ordered: "Su Mubai, pick some people to go south to meet the prince."
"Princess?" Su Mubai looked at Chu Qianchen confused.
Chu Qianchen was worried about Gu Jue, so he didn't hide it from Su Mubai, and told him everything he could about what was wrong with Chu Qianhuang.
Su Mubai's expression was solemn, standing there motionless like a sculpture, but his mind was spinning rapidly, methodically sorting out the clues given by Chu Qianchen.
He was a smart man, and he judged it immediately, his pupils narrowed slightly.
"Princess, do you suspect that Wuhejialou may be in danger on the way back to Nanhao?" Su Mubai asked directly.
Amber stood beside Chu Qianchen, confused as he heard it, and blinked suspiciously.
She was obviously present when the princess was talking to Chu Qianhuang just now. Why couldn't she understand how the princess and Su Mubai came to such unrelated conclusions?
Chu Qianchen nodded and confirmed Su Mubai's guess: "Not bad."
The air in the hall suddenly became solemn and depressing.
Wu He Jia Lou's distress had nothing to do with Prince Chen's palace, but the prince was also with Wu He Jia Lou.
What they were worried about was the prince's safety.
Su Mubai and Chu Qianchen looked at each other, squinting their eyes, pursed their thin lips, and undercurrents intertwined in the bottomless black eyes.
If someone else said this to Su Mubai, Su Mubai would only think that the other person had drunk too much or had an abnormal brain, so he was blabbering.
However, this is what Chu Qianchen said.
Their princess is not someone who just follows what others say.
He had only been in contact with her for a few months, but he had already gone through many ups and downs with Prince Chen's Mansion.
He could see that their princess was very smart, extremely smart, and she prioritized Prince Chen's palace and the prince in everything.
She was on the same page as them.
Since Chu Qianchen thinks there is a problem, then there is a high probability that there really is a problem.
Furthermore, since it concerns the prince, they should be careful no matter how careful they are.
Nothing can happen to the prince!
No need for Chu Qianchen to say anything, Su Mubai took the initiative and said: "Five thousand people from the North are on their way to the capital..."
Previously, the emperor promised the Chen Palace to transfer another 30,000 people from the north to the capital. These 5,000 people were the first batch of elites, all of them selected from a hundred. Now they are less than 300 miles away from the capital.
"Princess, I will immediately redirect this group of people and rush straight to the Qihao border to meet the prince."
Su Mubai put forward the best plan in the shortest time.
Chu Qianchen understood what Su Mubai meant. If he mobilized the Xuanjia Army stationed in the capital camp at this time, it would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion. Directly transferring these five thousand people would be the fastest, and it would not alarm the snake, nor would it attract suspicion. The emperor's warning.
"You arrange this matter." Chu Qianchen nodded.
Su Mubai is now more familiar with the army than her, so his arrangements must be better.
The two exchanged a look of understanding.
Whether it was Su Mubai or Chu Qianchen, they hoped in their hearts that this guess was just their suspicion and overthinking. Then, at most, they would just let these five thousand troops practice their attack.
Even if the possibility is one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand, one cannot be too cautious when it comes to the prince.
They don't dare to think about "what if"...
"Su Mubai, please go there yourself." Chu Qianchen said again.
In her heart, she wanted to go there in person. It felt too bad to stay in the capital and wait for news, but in terms of the overall situation, she couldn't leave.
She is Princess Chen, and the prince is not in the capital, so she has to show her face from time to time to keep the emperor's heart at ease.
Moreover, women are naturally inferior to men in physical strength and endurance. She knows that her physical strength cannot keep up with the elites in the army. Not only will it slow down the march when she is on the road, but if she is really in danger, with her here, she will They also allocate people to look after themselves.
Now she is just a burden on the battlefield.
Chu Qianchen looked at his slender arms and fingers and felt a trace of self-disgust.
She was still too lazy. She had to practice riding and shooting so that she wouldn't be a hindrance to the prince in the future.
