Chapter 241: 241 Concern (second update)
Chapter 241 241 Concern (second update)
The passers-by who were watching pointed in the direction of Chu Lingxiao and talked excitedly.
"Who is this person? He has been sentenced to exile!"
"You don't even know this. What kind of prince is this man? He was so stupid that he was deceived by enemy spies. The emperor almost wronged his loyal ministers."
"I heard that he unjustly accused His Highness King Chen and Prince Nanyang of treason!"
"How could His Highness, King Chen, be traitorous to the country!"
"That's right. I think this Mr. Hou is just trying to die!"
Chu Qianchen raised the corners of his lips sarcastically.
Wasn't Chu Lingxiao just "seeking death"? !
In other words, he is just cold-blooded and selfish. He only has himself in his heart!
His future, his title, his pride... nothing else matters.
Thinking about his past and present lives, Chu Qianchen's face was calm and his eyes were cold, like a lake in autumn.
Whether it was Chu Lingxiao or Aunt Jiang, these two people would no longer cause any fluctuations in her emotions.
To her, these two people were just unrelated people.
Instead of being angry because of them, she might as well spend more time on the prince and Prince Chen's house.
Chu Qianchen was about to lower the curtains when he heard an old and familiar female voice shouting excitedly: "Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao, my son!"
There was obvious sadness in the old woman's voice.
Chu Qianchen raised her eyes and looked over. On the other side of the street not far away, the familiar figure of Mrs. Tai came into her eyes. Her eyes were red and blurred with tears, and there were deep lines on her forehead, corners of her eyes and corners of her mouth due to excitement. Deep wrinkles, showing age.
Beside Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu was holding one of her arms and comforting her.
Obviously, Mrs. Tai came to see Chu Lingxiao off.
When Chu Lingxiao saw his wife, he was very excited and shouted: "Mother, help me!"
"I don't want to be exiled to Qingzhou, save me!"
"Mother, go into the palace and beg the emperor to forgive me..."
Chu Lingxiao cast his last hope on Mrs. Tai, with eager eyes.
Didn't Chu Yunyi have the merit of rescuing him? !
As long as the Chu family doesn't want the title, wouldn't it be enough to ask the emperor to use the title to save him from exile for eight hundred miles? !
For Madam Tai, the Chu family managed to keep their title with great difficulty, and they didn't even think about it in that direction.
She choked and said: "Ling Xiao, don't worry, Aunt Jiang will accompany you to Qingzhou to take care of you, and my mother will also help you take care of things over there in Qingzhou..."
"You have to be careful along the way."
As the wife spoke, tears fell down, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly wiped her tears.
The official pushed Chu Lingxiao from behind impatiently and said rudely: "Quickly go! Don't wait any longer!"
"If we can't make it to the inn, we'll have to sleep outdoors tonight!"
Chu Lingxiao was pushed and staggered a step, becoming even more embarrassed.
His last glimmer of hope was shattered at this moment, and his sinister eyes were blocked by a few strands of hair hanging down by his ears.
He knew that the wife was reluctant to part with the title, so she refused to enter the palace.
Yes, she not only has his son, she also has a second child. As long as the second child inherits the title, she will still be the old feudal lord of the Marquis. How could she be willing to give up the title for him!
The hatred in Chu Lingxiao's heart grew stronger and stronger.
The wife didn't notice anything strange about her eldest son, and was still shouting: "Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao..."
The scenes of deep love between mother and son made the people watching sigh with embarrassment. They said such sarcastic remarks as "the hearts of all parents in the world" and "if I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?"
Chu Qianchen felt extremely bored. He lowered the curtains and dropped two words: "Go back home."
The Zhu Lun Chai circled the street in front and continued on the road. This time, it went straight back to Prince Chen's Mansion and never stopped again.
After Chu Qianchen entered the palace, Prince Chen's palace closed its doors and thanked guests.
This has always been the case in Prince Chen's Mansion, and the entire capital has long been used to it.
However, as the story of Nanhao's coup gradually spread in the court, all the palaces in Beijing were speculating whether something had happened to King Chen and Wuhe Jialou. Each government's eyes were fixed on the emperor and Prince Chen's palace, thinking Let's see if the emperor will take the opportunity to eradicate Prince Chen's Mansion.
As a result, one day, two days, three days, three consecutive days passed, and no one moved, neither the emperor nor Prince Chen's palace.
The court at this moment is like a seemingly calm sea, with undercurrents turbulent and unpredictable.
Many dignitaries and courtiers were secretly speculating on the holy will, and they also did not dare to act rashly. The atmosphere became increasingly tense. God seemed to feel something. It was rainy for several days in a row.
However, these things did not disturb the ordinary people at all. They did whatever they were supposed to do and did not feel the change in the situation at all.
"It's going to rain again!"
Chu Qianchen looked out the window and said casually.
It had been raining for the past three days, and the cat couldn't go anywhere. It was almost making it sick. The little black cat meowed, seeming to agree.
Chu Qianchen's mood was like the continuous drizzle outside, gloomy and gloomy.
She had already done what she had to do, and the emperor did not dare to act rashly as she expected.
However, there has been no news from the prince and Su Mubai, which makes Chu Qianchen always feel a little uneasy.
"Crack. Click."
Chu Qianchen absentmindedly trimmed the potted plants with scissors until Amber exclaimed from behind: "Princess, Yueying is eating..."
Only then did Chu Qianchen come back to his senses. He looked at the little black cat and found that the orchid leaves she had cut had been eaten by it.
"Meow?" The cat looked at them puzzledly and continued to eat bluegrass.
Chu Qianchen casually rubbed the cat's head, smiled at Amber and said, "It doesn't matter."
Amber looked at the pot of orchid grass that had been cut too "thinly" by Chu Qianchen, and felt that the cat was fine and the orchid grass must be in trouble.
She is the maid who serves Chu Qianchen personally, and she can tell from some of the subtle changes in Chu Qianchen's body -
The princess was very worried about the prince. At first, Amber was worried that Chu Qianchen would not be able to eat or sleep well because of this, but to her surprise, Chu Qianchen was doing great.
Her daily routine has become very normal. She no longer stays up late or is locked in the pharmacy for most of the day. For the past three days, she had followed a rigid schedule every day, getting up on time, eating on time, and sleeping on time.
Amber had a vague feeling that Chu Qianchen was recharging his energy in order to cope with unexpected emergencies.
Thinking of this, Amber felt that the pot of orchids was not unfair. She asked cautiously: "Princess, do you want to cut it again? I haven't had enough of the moon shadow yet."
The black cat heard his name and said "meow" again.
Ever since, Amber went out to find a potted orchid plant for Chu Qianchen. When she came back, she didn't bring the orchid plant. Instead, she brought a letter and trotted closer.
Amber was Chu Qianchen's eldest maid, and she always behaved calmly. It was rare to see her look so impatient, which attracted the other maids and wives to look at her.
"Princess," Amber didn't pay attention to the other people's eyes at all, and walked into the Zuoji Room with a brilliant look, "it's Fei Ge who is passing the message, and it's Fei Ge who is here from the prince!"
Chu Qianchen's hand slipped and the scissors fell next to the potted plant. The "bang" sound frightened the cat on the other side. The cat bounced up as if someone had stepped on it. Escaped to the beauty's bed.
Amber was stunned. Chu Qianchen "snatched" the letter from Amber's hand and opened the envelope impatiently.
She read the letter intently, her lips curled up, a smile spread from the corners of her mouth to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and there was a deep smile in her eyes.
The joy was palpable on her face.
Even without asking, Amber could guess that the letter contained good news, and she was relieved.
The black cat, which had regained its composure, jumped down from the beauty's couch, walked to her side again, and circled around her skirt. Its cry was soft, sweet and waxy, and it was even more coquettish than a little girl.
"Yueying, the prince will be back soon." Chu Qianchen put down the letter, bowed his head and said to the black cat on his skirt, he was so happy that his heart almost flew up.
When she lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes looked long and curled, and her phoenix eyes were as bright as sparkling gems.
She had a light smile on her face, and her smile was as beautiful as the first bloom of an epiphyllum, as clear as the breeze and the dawn moon, so bright and beautiful that it made people's hearts beat.
Yueying meowed, and Amber asked cooperatively: "Princess, when will the prince arrive?"
Chu Qianchen estimated the time and said happily: "It will arrive in about five or six days." She couldn't help but read the letter in her hand again.
After she collected the letter, she felt relaxed and refreshed.
Amber and Jiang Yuan exchanged a look, cleared her throat, and joked: "Princess, there are still five or six days left, can you make the prince's clothes?"
Chu Qianchen: "..."
No, she had to hurry!
Chu Qianchen could neither care about the cat nor answer Amber. He turned around and ran to the inner room, personally carrying the embroidery basket over.
She decided to stay up a few nights and catch up, and she should be able to finish the dress.
She stayed up as late as she was told. This night she stayed up until the fourth watch before going to bed. The second night she stayed up until the fourth watch. By the third night, she was already so tired that she was drowsy.
She rubbed her eyes, yawned again, and said to herself, "Almost."
In the past two days, she had been working all night, and her efficiency was pretty good. The only thing missing about this straight jacket was the sleeve trimming, so she would definitely be able to do it in time.
She put down her clothes and was about to get the tea at hand, but the teacup had already been handed to her.
The hand holding the tea cup was obviously not a female hand. The fingers were long and well-defined, and the nails were neatly manicured, but the color was slightly white.
Chu Qianchen recognized this hand as soon as he saw it. His eyes widened and he quickly moved up to meet a pair of narrow eyes.
The visitor's dark eyes were like floating shadows in the bright candlelight, filled with a faint smile.
"My lord, you are back!"
Chu Qianchen's pupils suddenly lit up, and his eyes curved into a pair of cute crescent moons, filled with excitement and joy as he looked forward.
Her whole face was smiling, and the smile softened her whole temperament, making her delicate and soft, just like the peach blossoms in full bloom in March, delicate and delicate, with a subtle fragrance floating around.
Gu Jue could smell a subtle fragrance coming from her body, elegant and slightly sweet.
"Well, I'm back." Gu Jue said softly, his eyes turning on her palm-sized face, and then falling on the almost finished dress on her lap.
Chu Qianchen couldn't help but want to show off, "Your Majesty, this is..."
After saying just a few words, she noticed that Gu Jue frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips, seemingly unhappy.
etc!
She suddenly realized slowly that it was already getting late, and maybe, it seemed... it was probably past her bedtime.
Chu Qianchen's eyes wandered guiltily.
As if she wasn't embarrassed enough, the sound of the midnight clock could be heard in the distance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In this silent night, the sound of the night watch was extremely penetrating and resounded so clearly throughout the surroundings.
Chu Qianchen could no longer look directly into Gu Jue's eyes.
Her little thoughts seemed to be written on her face, and they were clearly visible in Gu Jue's eyes.
Gu Jue always knew that she was not wary in front of him. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, feeling as if an invisible feather was stirring in his heart, gently and softly.
Gu Jue couldn't help but chuckle, the smile in his eyes shaking slightly from his neck to his chest.
For some reason, Chu Qianchen felt that the air around her was vibrating, and her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
Gu Jue raised his hand and touched the top of Chu Qianchen's soft hair with gentle movements.
He had only been away from Beijing for less than two months, but this time, just a few days after setting off, he was already calculating his return date.
Originally, it was supposed to take him two days to reach the capital, but he rushed all the way and rushed back to the palace tonight.
For the first time, he felt concerned in his heart. This feeling was really novel and interesting.
The last day for double monthly votes. If you have a monthly vote, just vote, mua~
Did Xiaoxiang not display updates on time yesterday? I looked backstage and it was released on time, but I don’t know if it was smoked. I'll post it early today and take a look.
