cold hearted son-in-law

As the sun rose in the early morning, Chu Yunxi brought Xiao Wei back to pay homage to Xiao Yichen.The maids and servants in the son-in-law's mansion were busy, but they were doing their own things quietly and orderly.

Chu Yunxi took Xiaowei to the backyard calmly and calmly. Wherever he went, the servants stopped their movements as usual, bowed their heads quietly and saluted. Chu Yunxi walked past without looking sideways.

The cold air in the morning was misty, and the exhaled breath became mist and dispersed. Chu Yunxi wore a bamboo green fine silk non-patterned gown with a white magnolia pattern embroidered on the open collar, a sash around the waist, and a jade pendant on the right. , wearing an E'e crown, the crown belt is tied under the jaw, revealing a slender and slender neck, wearing a light and simple white wide-sleeved fox fur and crane cloak, and wearing white deerskin short boots. When walking slowly, it looks fresh and weak. free from vulgarity.Xiao Wei is wearing a water-green gown, combing her hair in a bun, wearing cyan soft-soled shoes, without any accessories, with a plain and elegant face, her eyes full of autumn water, her spirit like orchids, and she silently follows Chu Yunxi.

The son-in-law's mansion has winding paths and a vast area, but Chu Yunxi still saw people she didn't want to see.The prince is dressed in court clothes, leading the East Palace and leading the others to walk slowly in the front corridor. The apricot-yellow python robe, the jeweled gold crown, the gold silk and jade belt, and the guards of the crowd are a bit of the grace and luxury of the crown prince, but it is a pity that the prince of the world is missing. Majestic momentum.

The few officials in front saw Chu Yunxi and Xiao Wei, and immediately reported to the prince. Huangfu Chengqian stopped, and when Chu Yunxi approached, he first asked with a gentle and polite smile: "Chu Ai I haven't seen you for a long time, are your eyes healed? What a happy event, did you just come back from outside?"

"I have seen the prince, and it is indeed a long time. Thank you for your concern. I have nothing to do with my eyes. I just went out for a stroll. The prince is dressed so grandly today, is he here to visit me?" Chu Yunxi also laughed, laughed The casual, tone also with a joke.

Xiao Wei, who was beside Chu Yunxi, looked at the prince and her, so he had no choice but to come out to pay respects: "Xiao Wei sees His Royal Highness, Your Highness, I wish you good fortune and golden safety."

Seeing how kind Chu Yunxi was, and seeing Xiao Wei coming to salute him, the prince relaxed his expression and said with a smile: "Chu Aiqing and Miss Xiaowei don't need to be polite, let's come and see Chu Aiqing and the emperor today." Sister, it's okay for Chu Aiqing to go first if there is something urgent." As she spoke, she raised her hand kindly to signal that Chu Yunxi could go first.

"The prince is here, so there's no reason to ignore the abandoned guests. It just so happens that the minister is also looking for the eldest princess, let's go together." Chu Yunxi said, stretching his palms upwards, making a gesture of invitation.

The prince nodded and went ahead with a smile.Chu Yunxi said to Xiao Wei again: "Xiao Wei, go and pack your things, you don't need to follow." Xiao Wei nodded, and walked obediently from the other way, the prince looked sideways at Xiao Wei's back as she went away He disappeared, turned around and saw Chu Yunxi looking at him with searching eyes, the prince coughed unnaturally, and walked ahead.

Chu Yunxi took a step behind him, followed him, and said casually: "The prince rescued Xiaowei from prison last time, and he has never thanked him well. If you are free at noon today, why don't you stay for lunch? I asked Xiaowei to do it myself. Make a few dishes to show your gratitude, what do you think, Prince?"

"This..." The prince hesitated for a moment, but nodded in response, and said politely with a smile: "It's just a little effort, why be polite? I have some free time, so I'll bother you." The smile this time was gentler than when we first met A little more polite and close.

Chu Yunxi also smiled faintly, and the two chatted casually, and the prince told Chu Yunxi about the future help of the eldest princess.It turned out that Mrs. Hua brought many generals with her. After arriving at the border, there was a huge response. The border army quickly gathered more than 40 people and recruited more than [-] recruits. In the hinterland plain area, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, approaching the capital, and many ministers in the court proposed to move the capital, and the emperor also meant the same, and they had no intention of fighting.

When the prince said this, he frowned and sighed.Chu Yunxi didn't have time to comfort the prince, but now she had more doubts in her heart. In the morning, she asked the people outside the city and found out that after she was assassinated, some people outside the city disappeared inexplicably. If there was an accident, it would be a defection. Others dare not be careless. After checking, they found out that the few people she ordered to find were going to use disguise techniques to pretend to be real substitutes. Even though they did not do much for assassination and just in case, if they fell into the hands of someone, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Oh!" Chu Yunxi sighed, how could things be like this?Originally, before the war, the war could be suppressed at a small price. At the sensitive moment when the war is about to start, the fake King of Martial Arts prepared by her who has always been close to Mrs. Hua only needs to bring his entourage with fake tiger charms and her poison and explosives. Going to the border, although it is impossible to seize military power, with the cooperation of Li Mo from Huzhou, it is still possible to kill several generals in charge of the border.As the saying goes, "capture the thief first and capture the king". Those who want to rebel and have the ability to fight for power are leaders, and the soldiers just obey orders. If the border generals are killed or injured, and there are many soldiers and major generals on the border, the court will pay attention to it, and naturally some people will move their minds. Looking for a military position on the border, no matter how cruel the factional struggle between North Korea and China is, at least there is no such great harm as war chaos, and everything will develop in another direction.

Chu Yunxi also knows that although this method is not open and aboveboard, and it is not considered the best strategy, as long as it is simple and practical, can prevent wars from happening, and does not harm innocent people, this method is a good method.It's a pity that she, Chu Yunxi, almost 'died before leaving school'!And she died in her own consort's mansion!If the assassination this time had nothing to do with the eldest princess, she might believe it.But if it is said that the eldest princess doesn't know anything about it, then she will write the word "Chu" backwards in the future!Perhaps Mrs. Hua's ability to safely reach the border after the defeat of the Imperial Forest Army was due to the eldest princess' intention!However, why did the eldest princess ask her to invite the queen mother back to court?What does the eldest princess want to do?

Going all the way to the main hall of the living room, I saw that the eldest princess was wearing a gold and silver silk phoenix embroidered court dress, with a red jadeite dripping bead and a phoenix head golden step Yao inserted into her bun, and her right hand, wearing a blue water floating green bracelet, was playing with a The small celadon tea pot with elegant glaze color and elegant patterns sits quietly and elegantly, but with a slight worry on his face, as if he is anxiously waiting for someone who will not come, his brows are lightly furrowed, his eyes are like autumn water, his appearance is peerless and charming, The country is alluring.

The crown prince and Chu Yunxi entered the hall, and the other officials were led to the side rooms.The prince greeted the princess with greetings, Chu Yunxi did not move, she sat on the chair next to the eldest princess, and looked at the eldest princess earnestly and inquisitively, she was puzzled about everything now, but what if she asked?Will the eldest princess answer all her doubts now?Isn't the eldest princess worried that she will never return, or does she really want her to never return?

"Chu Yunxi, what do you think?" The prince's sudden question brought Chu Yunxi back to his senses, looked at the prince, then at the eldest princess, and shook his head.

"Chu Aiqing also thinks that the capital cannot be moved?" the prince asked hurriedly.

"She shook her head to mean that she didn't listen at all just now!" The eldest princess gave Chu Yunxi a sideways look, and finally spoke, put down the teapot, straightened her face, but her ears were slightly suspiciously red, and said to the prince: " When things are unstoppable, listen to the opinions of the ministers in the court. Since the emperor has made a decision on the matter of moving the capital, you can follow it. If you have nothing to do, go back to the palace first. The outside is not peaceful, so you don’t go out of the palace if you have nothing to do."

The prince answered one by one from the side, Chu Yunxi saw that the eldest princess was preaching again, and hurriedly said: "I have something to do with the prince, prince, let's go to the study to talk."

The eldest princess was going to continue to teach the prince to let him learn to think and have his own opinions at this critical moment of national chaos, but she was very displeased with Chu Yunxi's sudden interruption, but she didn't say anything, she just gave Chu Yunxi a look and agreed.

The prince was a little ashamed and went out with Chu Yunxi. When he arrived at the study and sat on the chair, the prince heaved a sigh of relief and asked in a low tone: "What can you do with me?" Chu Yunxi closed the door and stood by the desk. As for the two of them, the prince spoke casually, as if he felt that Chu Yunxi was just helping him out.

"When I lost my eyesight, you sent someone to kill me, right?" Chu Yunxi said with certainty, a word that almost made the prince jump up in fright.

"I'm not alone!" The prince immediately denied it, looking at Chu Yunxi nervously, wanting to stand up and leave or ask someone to come in.

Chu Yunxi approached with a sneer, twisted the prince's back collar and pressed him on the desk, and then said: "Dare to do it or not to admit it? I have learned a lot from your father!"

"Gu... Gu has never done it before... You are presumptuous... Let go... let go!" The prince said in a panic that Chu Yunxi was so bold that he dared to make a move against him.

"Say one more word and I'll tie you up like a fool!" Chu Yunxi pressed the prince's neck, pulled out a silver needle and placed it next to the prince's neck to threaten him, and continued: "Why do you do this? Let you be so cruel! At that time, I couldn't see anything, how could I offend His Highness the Crown Prince?" Chu Yunxi said, and the silver needle approached the Crown Prince's eyes again.

The prince's face paled in fright, looking at the needles beside his eyes, he didn't dare to struggle, and hurriedly said: "Don't... This is not my idea, it's Qin Jue, it's him who said that you have colluded with Mrs. Hua in Furongyuan, If you don't get rid of it early, it will be a big trouble in the future! I don't want to do this either, you just look at the emperor's love, show mercy, and forgive me this time, I swear, I know I was wrong, you forgive me This time, you can make any compensation you want." The prince said, seeing Chu Yunxi's expressionless face, tears were about to come down.

"What's the use of compensation for death?! The eldest princess' affection? She has always protected you, and she doesn't care about other people's lives!" Chu Yunxi said, looking at the frightened and tearful prince, and smiled wryly. After closing his hand, he retracted the needle and said: "I owe the eldest princess but not you. I will let you off this time. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future. People will die and many innocent people will be involved."

The prince nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."

But Chu Yunxi shook his head and went out. Outside the door, Xiao Wei was standing outside. Seeing Chu Yunxi's expression changed after he came out, he went directly to the stable, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Master going?"

Chu Yunxi said without turning his head: "Don't follow, I'll settle the score, you can rest assured and wait for me to come back!"
