cold hearted son-in-law

The army returned triumphantly, the soldiers returned, and the emperor held a celebration banquet in the imperial garden.At the end of August, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, chrysanthemums are in buds, clear and fragrant spirits are served at the banquet, and the ministers are singing and dancing.

Chu Yunxi was alone, sitting quietly in a conspicuous position, but drinking alone, drinking one cup after another.She was dressed in bright armor, her helmet was placed on the table, her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes were gloomy, and she was so murderous that no one dared to speak to her to toast.

In fact, today's banquet can also be said to be Chu Yunxi's Marquis Banquet.After today, the Chinese history books may record that Bai Lie, who was promoted from General Pingxi to General Zhenxi, and the second prince was named King Wu, opened his mansion, but the main record will be: Jianwen 11th year, August 28th, Zhaoyi Jiedushi Chu Yunxi, commanded an army of 17 vassals and towns on the border to resist the invasion of Xirong and Hu people. He was invincible and expelled the Hulu from Xiyang Pass. It is Tsing Yi Hou with a different surname.Huzhou was enshrined as a land, with thousands of households in the city, officials, hereditary titles, and the right to clothing, food, rent and taxes. The 1-year-old Chu Yunxi was unparalleled in talent. Because of his meritorious service, he became the No.

But at the banquet, after the emperor honored the meritorious officials, Chu Yunxi thanked him and returned to the table, but his expression was cold, he drank alone, and he was not at all happy to be an official or a knight. At the age of 17, she became the Marquis of the third rank after the fourth founding father, title: Marquis of Tsing Yi.Such kindness and special honor are rare in the ages.Since the ancestors of Xia Gaozu came to Huaxia, there were only three titles of king, duke, and marquis. At the beginning of the country, princes and princes and queens of the four kingdoms were honored. Because of "no merits, no merits", only the princes and concubines who received favors became the ranks of marquises. , there are few marquis with different surnames, let alone 17-year-old knights due to meritorious service?Since ancient times, there have been many teenagers who have become famous, but Chu Yunxi is the only one who can reach such a height at the age of 17. It is considered unprecedented. It is admired by people, but it is left in history books and will be famous for future generations.With such a feat, if it were someone else, who wouldn't be ecstatic?After Chu Yunxi was named Marquis, he ignored everyone and drank alone.

The world only sees her glamorous side, but they don't know her inner worries. The emperor didn't check that the Bai family might have let Hu into the customs, collaborating with the enemy and judging the country. carry.Now that she came back to Beijing in victory, the emperor sent her away as a Marquis in Tsing Yi. You must know that princes do not participate in political affairs, but only have the right to food, clothing, rent and taxes, and she, a Marquis in Tsing Yi, also has the newly appointed envoy of Zhaoyi Jiedu. What's the point of giving her a hereditary position as a fief in Huzhou, which she manages?Moreover, the nobility is inherited, and the inheritance system is adopted.The concubine and the concubine generally do not have the right to inherit the title.If there are no sons who inherit the title, the feudal state will be abolished. This is the so-called "removal of the country without sons".And now, let alone the concubine, she will never go back to the Huzhou fiefdom with her, judging by the eldest princess' attitude!Now that the emperor granted her a Marquis, it would be like a chicken rib to her. It is useless to get it, but it is a pity to discard it. Make enemies and attract hatred?

Chu Yunxi was three points drunk from drinking, Fang raised his head and stared straight at Qin Jue who was opposite, with a half-smile on his face, deep and unclear eyes, all the shocked ministers dared not approach.Qin Jue sat diagonally across from her with his head down, not daring to look at her.

Chu Yunxi was half-drunk and pretended to be six-pointed. The second prince was seated above her, and Bai Lie, General Pingxi, and Bai Shaotang, who had joined the Imperial Forest Army as the commander-in-chief of the right, sat next to her.On the opposite table was the crown prince, under the crown prince was Prime Minister Qin, and Prime Minister Qin was seated next to Qin Jue, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites who had been promoted to the fifth rank.

Chu Yunxi looked at Qin Jue and thought in his mind. At first, he thought that he would be able to find out the truth and avenge the Chu family when he arrived in Huzhou, but when he found the Bai family, he also found Mrs. Hua behind the Bai family.But now she has nothing to do with the Bai family, let alone Mrs. Hua who is helpless even the emperor?But she is not reconciled in her heart, she has done so much, and now she is in this position, if she just gives up like this, how can she be worthy of the wronged soul of this body?How can I be worthy of the Chu family who have been massacred?And now she will not let go, and others will not let her go, life and death are at stake, there is no way to make a wrong move.Before the expedition, she told the eldest princess that if she came back alive, she would tell the eldest princess the secret of her life and death, but now, she hesitated.Moreover, before arriving in the capital, she heard the gossip and rumors about the princess and Qin Jue, and she was in a panic. She had to find out if the princess had unpacked the bag and acted by chance, as well as the Qin family. This disrupted the next plan.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi was about to get up when Shi Ze who suddenly appeared suddenly held him down.

"Don't be impulsive, the emperor is still here, and I'll help you teach that Qin sternly later!" Holding a glass of wine in one hand, Shi Ze patted Chu Yunxi's shoulder with the other, and said to her in a low voice.He has been paying attention to Chu Yunxi tonight, afraid that she will do something young and energetic after hearing the rumors.It wasn't that Chu Yunxi would be at a disadvantage, after all, only Qin Jue was unlucky for poisoning an army of Hu people.But if Chu Yunxi couldn't hold back and moved his hands in front of the emperor, then Prime Minister Qin would probably peel off Chu Yunxi's skin, so when he saw Chu Yunxi's face was cold and murderous, he stood beside her Yes, just in case.

"What are you talking about? I'm just going to toast." Chu Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, she just wanted to go over and make a toast, and make a routine, Shi Ze must have misunderstood something, how could a gentle and calm person like her act impulsively? impression?And if you want to teach anyone a lesson, you will never do it in public.

"Uh, really?" Shi Ze didn't believe it, looked at her suspiciously, moved his hands away, and kept his body in the way.If the rumors are true, this is the 'hate of taking his wife'. No man would want to be cuckolded, and for someone as proud and capable as Chu Yunxi, wouldn't it be a great shame if he lost to a love rival who was inferior to her in every way?But looking at her now, she was murderous just now and kept away from strangers, but now she has a calm face and wants to toast her love rival?Did he trust the eldest princess too much or did he look down on Qin Jue's ability to snatch the eldest princess away?

"Don't guess, I have my own measure." Chu Yunxi said, took the wine glass and touched his cup, drank one cup, filled another cup, stumbled towards the prince, and smiled with the prince After chatting for a few words, it was like the target Qin Jue was walking.

Seeing her walking towards him, Qin Jue smiled unnaturally, stood up holding the wine glass, with a smile on his face, and before Chu Yunxi could speak, he said, "Master Chu, congratulations on your title, I will offer you a toast, let me do it first."

"Brother Qin is too polite. Needless to say, we also have the friendship of entering the court as an official in the same department. Even according to the relationship between you and the eldest princess, I can also call you 'cousin'. And you have a bright future, and you will be promoted all the way. , is far better than others? Come on, don't say anything respectful, just drink three cups with me and talk!" Chu Yunxi was half-drunk and half-awake, his tongue was a little stiff, but his mind was still clear, and his eyes carefully observed Qin Standing beside Qin Jue, smiling and drinking three cups.

Those gossiping eyes are all looking at them, if they fight in front of the emperor about the eldest princess, who will the eldest princess protect?But everyone watched gossip for a long time, only to see that Chu Yunxi and Qin Jue were chatting more and more happily, and they actually sat together. Everyone was really confused at this moment, and they wanted to see this grievance and hatred in their hearts. , As a result, not only did the parties not make a move, but they sat together chatting and laughing happily, making people who wanted to watch the show anxious for them. This matter developed unreasonably.

"Brother Qin, the eldest princess really hasn't mentioned me during this time? Well, it's all because I'm too busy. The eldest princess must be angry, otherwise she should come to the banquet today." Chu Yunxi sighed and said regretfully .

Qin Jue looked at Chu Yunxi, whose eyes were drunk and his face was covered with rouge, and he moved his eyes away, with a faint smile on his face, but he said gently: "Mr. It should be waiting for you in the mansion, and you can see it when you go back."

"If you're not angry, why didn't you mention me? Brother Qin, I've already called you brother, why are you still talking about Chu Hou? Do you think that I, Chu Yunxi, are not worthy to be your brother?" Chu Yunxi frowned, and said in a tone Displeased, his face changed like turning the pages of a book.

Qin Jue saw that Chu Yunxi's face darkened, and he was looking at him fiercely. His expression froze, and he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Why, being brothers with Chu...Brother Chu, how many people can't wish for it, Qin is afraid of being climbed Brother Chu, don't get me wrong, if you have something to say, speak up..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunxi had already laughed happily again, completely missing the frightening appearance of being cold and ferocious, and sternly questioning him just now.Qin Jue glanced at Chu Yunxi. Since this man came to him, the topic has always revolved around His Highness the eldest princess. She asked him about everything from the eldest princess's diet to her recent mood, which made Qin Jue look embarrassed. Are you drunk or awake, what exactly do you want to ask?Feeling uneasy in her heart, she didn't want to talk to her anymore, and she had drunk a lot of wine just now, but she was still drunk, so she persuaded with nice words: "Brother Chu has been tired all the way, now Why don't you go back to the mansion earlier, leave for half a year, and don't go to see the eldest princess first?" While talking, looking at Chu Yunxi's expression, Qin Jue didn't believe it, Chu Yunxi didn't know anything yet.

"Well, it makes sense. I'll go back now." Chu Yunxi smiled and got up, and walked out of the banquet staggeringly.The people who were staring at them saw it, and they were still drinking. Shi Ze saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and his voice reached everyone's ears, "Are you drunk? You mistook the direction of the latrine."

Chu Yunxi looked at him and remembered that the eldest princess hadn't said anything to Qin Jue, but she couldn't go back now, she brought Lin Qi to her, and she had to go see the emperor for a play. "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills" Chu Yunxi muttered, nodded, and followed Shi Ze to the hut.

The emperor was not in good spirits, seeing everyone's kindness, chatted with the meritorious generals, drank a few glasses of wine, took a look at Chu Yunxi's vacant seat, and prepared to leave first.

It's a pity that as soon as he returned to Daxing Palace, the eunuch reported on his back: Marquis Chu asked for an audience outside the palace.The emperor rubbed his head, and said a word heavily: Xuan!

"May the emperor be the master for my subjects." Chu Yunxi knelt down and shouted as soon as she entered the hall without even shouting long live, letting the emperor be the master for her.

"Oh... what do you want me to call the shots?" Seeing her grief-stricken face, the emperor frowned and asked, pretending not to understand.

"The Bai family poisoned the minister!" Chu Yunxi said with tears in his eyes, reeking of alcohol.

"Is there any evidence to prove it?" The emperor was expressionless, holding a teacup in his hand, and the eunuch and maid retreated knowingly when Chu Yunxi came in.

"My body is the evidence. If I hadn't met the grandson of the old master Qi, the Xinglin Sage, I wouldn't know that I have a strange poison in my body that has no cure, and the poison has penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no cure. Now I only hope that the emperor will murder my parents." I am the master, as long as I can avenge my parents before I die, I am willing to pay any price, and die without regret!" Chu Yunxi gritted her teeth and said angrily.

"There is no cure for the strange poison created by the evil doctor? The grandson of Xinglin Sage Qi Yiwen? I heard people say that your medical skills are also good, better than your cousin Xiao Yichen who practiced medicine for generations. How could you be poisoned?" The emperor didn't believe it. At the banquet just now, I saw her ignoring everyone and chatting happily with Qin Jue. Now that she said that she was poisoned and dying, who would believe it?But just forgive her for drinking too much and not daring to talk nonsense in front of him, so the emperor will continue to ask her.

"Qi Yi asked his grandson, Lin Qi, who is outside the palace. The emperor can let him in to ask about it. As for the subject, he is indeed good at medicine, but the three strange poisons of evil doctors: broken heart in one moment, no cure in three years, and death in ten years. None It is colorless and tasteless, and it is impossible to guard against, until Lin Qi told his ministers at the border that he did not know that he was poisoned by such a strange poison, and his life would not be long." Chu Yunxi's tears were still in his eyes, but his expression was sad.

The emperor looked at Chu Yunxi carefully, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Let the imperial doctor take your pulse first, maybe it's too early, and you can still be cured." On the one hand, he is a rare general and wizard in ancient and modern times. If he really hits the 'no solution', he will die in three years, and he will not live to be crowned.

Countless famous doctors and rare medicines failed to save the "dead life" among the empresses in the past ten years.The emperor looked at Chu Yunxi who was kneeling, his expression was unclear, and he didn't ask Lin Qi to come in. He only called the eunuch to invite the imperial doctor, and he knew in his heart that this matter was not like drinking nonsense. Chu Yunxi showed his sharpness, so naturally someone Knowing how to use secret hands, assassination has been done twice, and now it is possible to poison her.If it is really confirmed that Chu Yunxi has hit 'no solution', 'no solution' means no solution!Then all the plans will have to be rearranged.And his eldest daughter, Huangfu Mingyue, who became a widow at a young age?
