Chapter 248 Chapter 248 Return to Beijing (first update)

A hint of guilt flashed in Chu Qianchen's eyes, but he firmly denied it: "Do I have to explain to you when I go out?"

"I'm not an 'injury'."

She emphasized the word "injured", and Chu Yunyi felt like he had been stabbed by a needle, and his anger was gone.

He touched his nose and said humbly: "I was wrong."

Those three words mean so much.

He thought about it over and over for nearly half a month, and he really knew that he was wrong, a big mistake.

Now thinking back to what happened that day at Yuanqingguan, he just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in. Hey, he was just like Chu Qianchen said, he was just a little kid who had eaten so much more than Chu Yunmu. Year's rice.

"Just think about it, don't be stupid next time!" Chu Qianchen raised his hand, stretched out his finger and flicked Chu Yunyi's forehead, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile.

Looking at Chu Yunyi, whose eyes were level with his own, Chu Qianchen had a faint smile in his eyes.

It's been half a month. If this kid couldn't figure it out for so long, he would be really stupid. He has grown up like this in vain!

Chu Qianchen's hand was actually not heavy, but Chu Yunyi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His cheeks turned red and he couldn't help but said: "Sister, I am already twelve years old, you don't know …”

"Can't you touch a man's head?" Chu Qianchen continued for him, then asked with a crooked face and a smile, "Do you want to ask Brother Mu if you should hit him?"

Chu Yunyi fainted instantly and choked on his saliva, "Ahem... no need."

Sister, he is only twelve years old, she doesn’t need to be so cruel!

Chu Qianchen was too lazy to pay attention to this awkward naughty kid. He waved to Hu Hu and said happily: "Hu Hu, the prince is coming back soon. Go to Duobao Zhai and ask if the hair crown I ordered for the prince is ready?"

"By the way, let's have someone clean the courtyard outside the study room and prune the flowers and trees. I looked at the flowers and trees outside the window to provide shade. It's a bit cold in the house."

"Let's go to the cloth store and send some winter materials for the prince to choose..."

“…”

Chu Qianchen said as he walked inside, it seemed that he had completely forgotten about Chu Yunyi in just a short while.

Chu Yunyi touched his nose, and a sour smell flowed out of his heart.

His sister simply has two faces!

Chu Yunyi kicked the pebbles on the ground, stood there for a while, and then followed slowly.

His eyes fell on Chu Qianchen's cheerful profile in front of him.

The girl's rosy lips were curved high, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Chu Yunyi naturally noticed the huge contrast between Chu Qianchen in the Hou Mansion and the Wang Mansion, and the corners of his lips turned up unconsciously.

In the past half month, he had lived in Prince Chen's Mansion and watched with his own eyes that everyone in the Prince's Mansion was treating Chu Qianchen well, much better than when Chu Qianchen was in the Chu family.

In fact, they treat themselves a little bit like a house and a bird.

Thinking about what he saw and heard in Prince Chen's Mansion these days, Chu Yunyi was also happy for Chu Qianchen.

but…

He stopped suddenly, touched the fifty taels of silver notes hidden in his belt, his smile faded, and he snorted coldly in his heart: Humph, don't think that you can bribe him with just fifty taels of silver notes!

He still can't relax, and he will have to support the Chu family from now on!

Chu Yunyi made a decision in her heart and shouted to Chu Qianchen, who was about a foot away in front of her: "Second sister, it's time for me to go back."

His injury has been healed, and it's time to return to the Chu family. He still has to go to the Imperial Academy to attend classes, so he can't be so lax anymore.

Not wanting to, Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "There's no rush."

Chu Qianchen turned his head and walked towards Chu Yunyi again.

This time, she raised her hand and rubbed his head with a bright smile.

But inexplicably, Chu Yunyi saw a hint of bullying cunning in his sister's smile.

"I'll teach you a lesson when the prince comes back." Chu Qianchen said with a smile.

Chu Yunyi: "..."

Chu Yunyi felt that this day was almost unbearable. Didn't he already admit his mistake?

Amber and Jiang Yuan rarely expressed sympathy towards Chu Yunyi with the same expression.

People can make mistakes, but who made him make such a big mistake that almost cost him his life? Their princess always has a good memory, so he should be blessed!

After Chu Qianchen said this, he ignored Chu Yunyi again, turned around and continued walking forward. At the same time, he told Amber: "I brought back some live fish and crabs from the village, so I might as well make a fish today." Let’s eat three, fish fillet porridge, fish head and tofu soup, and add a braised fish breast with onion flavor!”

"As for the crabs, steam a few and make some crab roe dumplings and fried crab cakes."

Chu Qianchen said whatever he thought of, Hu Huo responded repeatedly, and another woman hurriedly went to fetch the fish and crabs from the carriage.

The entire palace became more lively because of Chu Qianchen's return, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Chu Yunyi in the back stood alone, motionless for a while.

After a while, his servant cleared his throat and asked cautiously: "Young master, shall we still go..."?

Before the last word came out of his mouth, the boy got a roll of his eyes from Chu Yunyi and fell silent.

"Why are we walking?" Chu Yunyi put his hands behind his hands and walked forward, "Can you walk?"

"..." The young man thought about it. The princess had already said she would not let the eldest young master go, and the people in Prince Chen's Palace probably wouldn't let him go either.

The boy quickly caught up with Chu Yunyi and said in a low voice: "Young master, my second aunt still cares about you very much. Crab roe dumplings and fried crab cakes are your favorites."

Chu Yunyi gave him another roll of the eyes, meaning, you don't have to say this!

The young man: "..." The young man deeply felt that his young master just took advantage of his second aunt's grandma.

Chu Yunyi went back to the guest house where he lived temporarily, but Chu Qianchen, who had just returned home, was not in a hurry to go back to the inner courtyard. He went to the Shaohua Hall first and had someone call Cheng Linhua over.

"How are the emperor and the prince doing now?" Chu Qianchen asked.

Listening to Chu Qianchen's words, Cheng Linhua obviously knew that the emperor was "sick" by the prince, so he directly replied: "The emperor is still 'sick' now, and even the empress and Duke Cheng'en are missing."

"Yesterday, Yushi Wang went to the court to impeach the prince for being unfilial and to depose him. The emperor pressed the court while he was ill. Everyone in the court knew about it. Some people had already gone to see Prince Li and Zhang Shoufu in private. Most of them were Still waiting to see the situation.”

"The prince is still kneeling in the Ancestral Temple. He has been kneeling all day and night."

"Sure enough." Chu Qianchen said in a low voice.

Since the emperor pressed the key to dethroning the prince, it means that the key to deposing the prince was indeed the emperor's intention.

To put it bluntly, Wang Yushi was just a sword in the emperor's hand, and it was a dull sword that could be discarded easily.

Cheng Linhua couldn't say he was sympathetic, but he still sighed with emotion: "The emperor is really cruel to the prince."

The emperor just pressed the button but did not say anything. The implication was that he agreed with the charge of "the prince is unfilial".

Even if the emperor didn't really intend to depose the prince this time, he just gave the prince a warning, but with the stain of "unfilial piety" on the prince, it will only be more difficult in the future. He is equivalent to being caught in the wrong by the emperor. In the future, the emperor will depose him if he wants to. It can be destroyed.

However, from the standpoint of Prince Chen's Palace, Cheng Linhua wished that the emperor and the prince were at odds with each other and that the royal family was in chaos, which would be a good thing for Prince Chen's Palace.

The same goes for Chu Qianchen, who half-smiled but said, "The emperor wants to raise Gu."

Ancient books record: The method of making voodoo is to put hundreds of insects in a dish for each other to eat. One insect will eat all the insects, which is called voodoo.

Cheng Linhua didn't understand for a while.

After thinking about it carefully, he came to his senses.

The prince is the son of the queen and the eldest son. As the eldest son, he was the undoubted successor and his position was very stable.

Moreover, the prince had been with the late emperor since he was a child and was raised by the late emperor himself. When he was fifteen years old, he was named the grandson of the late emperor. The other princes could not compete with him. After he ascended the throne, he was the grandson of the late emperor. It is natural for Sun to be promoted to prince.

The prince is the crown prince. If he has no fault, even the emperor cannot dismiss the prince lightly.

But now there is a stain on the prince's body, as if the gods and Buddhas in the sky were suddenly pulled down from the altar and turned into mortals, and the gap between him and the other princes is not so obvious.

The emperor put the prince and the princes together into a "gu" vessel, hoping to arouse the princes' fighting spirit and make them fight for the throne.

Cheng Linhua also sighed and said: "I am afraid that there will be another **** storm in this court."

The throne is too tempting, and the succession of heirs in the past dynasties will set off a **** storm, resulting in the tragedy of fratricide, and the results are often extremely tragic.

"Whoever takes the throne has nothing to do with our Prince Chen's Palace." Chu Qianchen said calmly, without even moving his eyebrows, and gracefully took a sip of hot tea, "By the way, does the Emperor have an order for who to welcome the prince?" ?”

Cheng Linhua shook his head, frowned in dissatisfaction, and then said: "The prince got sick of the emperor because of this matter."

Gu Jue escorted Wuhejialou back to Hao in compliance with the order, just like Kang Hongda had been ordered to go to various places to conduct military parades on behalf of the emperor. Under normal circumstances, when he returned to the capital, he would be greeted by the Ministry of Rites or the prince on behalf of the emperor.

However, if the emperor and the prince quarreled like this on this matter, other people would naturally watch his words and not try to get into trouble with the emperor again. After all, even the prince had fallen into this fate.

It is conceivable that if other people mentioned this matter to the emperor, they would not get much benefit. The emperor would also suspect that they had colluded with King Chen, or that they only had the prince in mind, not the emperor.

Chu Qianchen said happily: "Then let's welcome it ourselves."

Chu Qianchen didn't care about those unrelated people going to greet the prince. She felt that it was just for outsiders to see, and it was extremely boring. She might as well go and greet him herself!

Cheng Linhua was stunned. He was a little surprised at first, but when he thought about it from the perspective of the prince, he felt that it was natural for the princess to react like this.

The prince would definitely prefer them to greet him, so the same goes for the princess.

It couldn't be simpler.

Cheng Linhua bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, Princess."

Both Chu Qianchen and Cheng Linhua knew that the emperor wanted to deliberately keep Gu Jue cold, but they didn't worry about it.

In the next two days, Chu Qianchen was in a very good mood, and his attitude toward Chu Yunyi became much gentler and more approachable.

Chu Yunyi was almost flattered by his sister's "love", and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He knew that the second brother-in-law was coming back.

During the time he was in the palace, he heard a lot about his second brother-in-law's deeds in the North. There used to be many thorns in the North Army, and all those people were tamed and submissive.

In this nervous mood, the first day of October came and Gu Jue returned to Beijing.

On the same day, Yunzhan led the Xuanjia Army to dispatch. The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army marched ten steps along the south city gate to clear the road, which extended to the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion.

These black armor soldiers were dressed in a uniform black armor, with sword scabbards of the same color on their waists. The red tassels on their helmets were so bright and eye-catching against the black armor.

They were dressed differently from the Imperial Guards in the capital, which attracted the attention of the people and speculated on the identity of these soldiers.

Until the loud voice resounded throughout the world: "Welcome His Royal Highness King Chen back to the capital! Thousand years ago!"

When these thousands of voices overlap together, like thunder or ocean waves, they naturally reveal a thrilling and shocking force, and the shouts shake the sky.

The common people naturally knew who King Chen was. When they heard the voice, they were also infected by this atmosphere. Many people also shouted after these Xuanjia Army soldiers in high spirits.

The neat shouts seemed to spread throughout most of the capital, and everyone knew that Chen Wang Gu Jue had returned to the capital.

Chu Qianchen personally went out of the city to welcome Gu Jue back to Prince Chen's Mansion amidst the roaring shouts around him. No one noticed that there was an extra carriage in the convoy.
