Chapter 126(1/2)
"My son has met his mother."
After seeing Chu Xuan, Concubine Yin quickly walked forward and stroked Chu Xuan's cheek with one hand, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Chu Xuan went there this time no shorter than when he fought outside the country before, and in recent years, Chu Yu went to every war, so Concubine Yin Shu had not seen Chu Xuan for so long as this time.
"Although it's hard, it's worth it to satisfy the father."
Concubine Yin Shu and Chu Xuan sat down, and she held the palace servant away and prepared to discuss the matter with Chu Xuan.
"Xuan'er, you did a good job this time. Your father is very happy. And with your ability and the power of our Yin family, why should you always rely on Chu Xun?"
Chu Xuan couldn't believe what he had heard just now. If he didn't understand the wrong mother's meaning, would his mother want him to fight for the throne?
Chu Xuan suppressed his excitement, "What mother's meaning is to let the son minister compete with the prince and the King of Chu?"
"Why not? Since ancient times, those who succeeded the throne are either legitimate sons or eldest sons. Chu Xun can fight for anything that is neither legitimate nor eldest. Why can't you fight for something Xuan'er?"
In fact, Chu Xuan had long wanted to be suppressed by Chu Xun for a long time, but he did not dare to openly oppose Chu Xun. But now that his mother has proposed to let him fight for the throne, what's wrong with him?
"Did the mother already have an idea?"
"If you plan to fight for the throne, your uncle will definitely support you. Although your grandfather has always been neutral and does not participate in party struggles, the people he supports will always give you some shame, so we don't have to worry about the power in the court."
Yin Shufei's father, Yin Zhongshuling, was no younger than Jiang Ge, and their power in the court. They didn't need to worry too much about their power in the court. The weakest part was military power.
"My mother has been trying to get in touch with Princess Siyu to win over Prince Mu's Mansion, but there has been no progress now, so the mother mother plans to help Prince Zhong's Mansion."
"Prince Zhong's Mansion? But Prince Zhong's Mansion has long been gone. What's the use now?"
He agreed with what Concubine Yin Shu said before. She planned to win over Prince Mu's mansion. Prince Mu's mansion was the best choice for them to guard the northern border with heavy troops, but what else is the use of Prince Zhong's mansion now?
King Zhong has been dead in the battlefield for more than four years. The Zhong Mansion is now barely supported by Aunt Zhixuan. Yun Zhiyuan has only a title and has no power at all, so he cannot understand how his mother wants to help Prince Zhong Mansion.
"Xuan'er, your father, Princess Zhixuan, is a brother and sister. As long as the eldest princess is there, Prince Zhong's mansion will always be there. The mother has seen Yun Zhiyuan. He has the ability. What he lacks now is an opportunity. If we can give him this opportunity, are we still worried that he will not help us?"
After Yin Shufei said this, Chu Xuan understood a lot. He didn't blame his father for being afraid of Lin's Mansion and Prince Zhong's Mansion. The people in both of them were indeed very powerful.
Lin Qingyang was the top scholar in high school at a young age. He rose to Qingyun to serve as the Minister of Personnel and then married his sixth sister. Lin Qingwan was also a talented woman in the capital. She married the crown prince and became the crown prince's concubine. Although Chu Yu has always been naughty, he grew up instantly after the Lin family and Prince Zhong's mansion. In recent years, he led his troops to fight and achieved many military achievements...
As Prince Zhong’s only son, Yun Zhiyuan would not be an ordinary person. If he helped Yun Zhiyuan now, there would definitely be more Yun Zhiyuan could help him in the future.
"I understand, but my mother is still considering it carefully."
If they want to help Prince Zhong rise, they still have to wait for a chance now.
"With Mu Siyu, Mother will do her best. If she can succeed, it's best. If she can't succeed, we still have the Zhong Palace."
Concubine Yin Shu and Chu Xuan knew that what they planned now were secret. If they were discovered by Marquis Jian'an or Chu Xun, they would probably have been destroyed by Marquis Jian'an's Mansion until they could rise.
Liuli's injuries have healed now. She spent the New Year outside the genius doctor's sect for the first time and felt that everything was very different.
"Sister, where is the best place to hang this lantern?"
Liuli held a lantern in her hand, ran to the left to try it out if it looked good, and then ran to the right to try it out to see what it looked like.
Yun Wange pointed to a place casually and said, "Hang it there."
Liuli ran over and put the lantern there and looked at it. It seemed that it was indeed a little better than the two places she had just found.
Liuli nodded to Yun Liange, then climbed up to hang a lantern, "Sister, is Liuli hanging it crookedly?"
"No, it's pretty good."
With Yun Wange's words, Liuli hung the lantern with confidence and then jumped down.
Liuli looked at the row of lanterns, all of which were hung by her, and she felt it was quite beautiful.
"You can continue hanging up, I'll go back to the room first."
Yun Wange left after saying this. For some reason, Liuli always felt that after Yun Wange met Yu Chen yesterday, she was not very happy. Even if the Chinese New Year was about to be celebrated, she was not very happy.
Yun Wange was unhappy, and Liuli had no intention of continuing to decorate. She had to ask Yu Chen what was going on.
Yun Wange returned to the room, sat on the stool, and rubbed his forehead with his hands.
Yesterday, Yu Chen reported to her about the situation in Beixiao. Xiao Jingyu has been mobilizing troops recently and has contacted everyone from Xiqin and Dongling.
Xiao Jingyu has had too many actions recently, and if she remembered correctly, the border agreement between Nanchu and Beixiao seemed to be about to be invalidated. During the emperor's birthday party, the emperor seemed to have mentioned this matter to Xiao Jingyu, but Xiao Jingyu even said that he could not make the decision and was not in a hurry to perfunctory way. Then a lot of things happened in Nanchu, so His Majesty might not be in a hurry to deal with this matter.
If Yun Wange is not wrong, Xiao Jingyu may have to start a war against Nan Chu recently.
This matter should be a good thing for Chu Yu, but it is not a good thing for Nan Chu.
Without any defense, Nan Chu would not be able to withstand a large-scale attack like Bei Xiao. It is estimated that at least three cities will be lost. The people in these three cities will be homeless and even lose their lives...
Although it was sudden, she had already received some news. Since she had received the news, she would not know in vain. She would definitely come up with a way to deal with it.
She could be sure that Chu Yu must have led his troops to the northern border. In the critical moment of the northern border, Chu Yu resolved the crisis in the northern border. This matter was enough to give him a certain position in the hearts of the people of Southern Chu.
With the power of the court, military power, and people's hearts, Chu Yu was qualified to compete with Chu Heng at that time.
Liuli ran to find Yuchen, and Yuchen knew that she might be here to ask about yesterday, but Yun Wange told him yesterday that she should not tell Liuli about this matter first, so as not to worry about her.
"What did you say to your sister yesterday? It's weird after she sees you."
"I didn't say anything. My master asked me to send someone to investigate the situation in various countries before. I finished checking it yesterday and said it."
Liuli kept staring at Yu Chen to see if he was lying.
Yu Chen was always looked at by Liuli, and he felt a little uncomfortable, not to mention that he didn't tell the truth to Liuli, so he felt even more guilty.
Fortunately, there was a mask blocking it, and Liuli couldn't tell that Yu Chen's face was already red, but Yu Chen's eyes dodged a little, so Liuli could see it.
Liuli knew that Yu Chen might be lying or not telling her all the facts. No matter what he was hiding, she could guess that the things he was hiding might be the reason why Yun Wange was wrong.
Although she didn't know what the reason was, she knew something serious must have happened.
Chu Heng was waiting for the evening palace banquet in the study. For some reason, he was a little absent-minded no matter what he did.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Ran felt that Chu Xun seemed a little strange today, and Chu Heng seemed to be unable to calm down today, but he never did this before, except for the days when the Crown Princess just passed away...
"Your Highness, have you thought of the Crown Princess?"
When Chu Heng heard Yuran mention Qingqing, he wondered if he hadn't visited her for a long time.
Chu Heng walked out of the study room and walked to the door of Shuanglan Palace. He opened the lock on the door of Shuanglan Palace and walked in.
Chu Heng might have left too anxiously and did not notice that there was always someone following him behind him.
The prince has never had a concubine. This year, Yin Kexin is still in charge of the East Palace. She just happened to have something that she didn't know what to do. She knew that Chu Heng was still in the study and wanted to ask Chu Heng what to do.
But before she could walk outside the study, she saw Chu Heng hurried out of the study. She ran all the way and barely followed Chu Heng's pace.
Unexpectedly, Chu Heng stopped at that place again - Shuanglan Palace.
Lin Qingwan has been dead for so long, but Chu Heng still has not forgotten her. He thought that Chu Heng had not gone to the Shuanglan Palace recently because he had already let go of Lin Qingwan. Unexpectedly, she was thinking too much.
Yin Kexin has been in the East Palace for so many years. Although Chu Heng doesn't like her, she treats her well. People like Chu Heng are really attractive. Even though she always remembers that she is a chess piece sent by the Yin family to him, she still gets in thought.
Yin Kexin looked up at the three big words "Shuanglan Palace". She vowed that she must live in the Shuanglan Palace and Chu Heng's heart.
Chu Heng walked around the Shuanglan Palace and finally sat on the couch, looking at the pillows and quilts on the couch. Qingqing had only lived in the Shuanglan Palace for three days, but everything in the Shuanglan Palace was placed by him.
Qingqing...
Cloud Elegy...
Chu Heng thought Yun Wange was Qingqing, but he still found no evidence, and he was afraid of admitting the wrong person.
Chu Heng opened the drawer of Qingqing's dressing table and took out the small brocade box.
He opened the brocade box and looked at the two Tianxiang cardamoms. These two Tianxiang cardamoms were found after searching for a long time. Qingqing was weak and wanted to prepare this life-sustaining magic medicine for her to avoid leaving him. However, the magic medicine did not even have a chance to use it, and Qingqing disappeared.
Chu Heng put the brocade box back, walked out of the Frost Lan Palace, and locked the door again.
There are still a few hours before the palace banquet, which is enough for him to go to Tingyuxuan.
Chu Heng rode out of the palace, but no guards dared to stop him. The guards looked at Chu Heng's leaving figure and couldn't help but worry for him. Is there something important to do when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so anxious to leave the palace? But what should I do if the palace banquet?
Yun Wange kept locking herself in the room. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was Liuli, so she opened the door, but when she saw the person outside the door, she was stunned for a moment.
"Elegy has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Why did Chu Heng appear here? Wasn’t he going to prepare for a palace banquet?
"How could Your Highness appear here?"
Chu Heng looked at Yun Wange, she was covered with a veil, and Chu Heng stared at her eyes, exactly the same as Qingqing's.
"It's the New Year, I want to say to you... Happy New Year."
Yun Wange was silent for a while, and Chu Heng ran out of the palace for such a sentence. She didn't know what she felt in her heart, so she couldn't say it.
"Happy New Year."
Yun Wange looked at Chu Heng's eyes and looked at him like that.
She has really changed a lot now. If she had been four years ago, Lin Qingwan would never dare to look at Chu Heng.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to go back..."
Liuli stood on the stairs, looking at Yun Wange and Chu Heng. For some reason, she always felt that the person in her sister's heart was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but why did her sister always care so much about His Royal Highness Ning?
