Chapter 123
When Chu Xi woke up, it was already afternoon, but because she was frozen this time, she drank the medicine drowsily, and fell asleep again without paying attention to her surroundings.
When I woke up completely, it was already the next morning.
She opened her eyes, looked at the unfamiliar furnishings around her, and frowned faintly feeling something was wrong.
But thinking about it again, this is probably the closest palace to the place where she fell into the water.
Because she didn't wake up, she was placed here for the time being.
Seeing that she was awake, two little maids hurried over.
Chu Xi looked around, but didn't see the maid who was close to her before, so she couldn't help frowning.
She asked a few names, "Where are they?"
The two little maids didn't speak, they just waited for her to get up.
Then stepped back.
Two more older court ladies came over to comb Chu Xi's hair and put on her clothes.
At this time, no matter how dull Chu Xi was, she understood.
Just now, she looked outside the door, but she didn't find anyone from Chu country.
What about them?
She is a princess, and they should be by her side when something happens.
Chu Xi's hands tucked into her sleeves trembled slightly, she walked to the door and said that she was going to see the empress.
"The princess was standing next to me at the time, so some people might misunderstand that the princess pushed me. I have to go out and explain to everyone."
The guard at the door didn't move or look at her.
Chu Xi said it several times, but they didn't respond, so she could only grit her teeth and walk back.
Something big must have happened.
Otherwise, why would she not be allowed to go out.
But what kind of event is it that causes this to happen.
Chu Xi didn't dare to think about it, but forced herself to think about it.
She walked up to the imperial guard again, "If you have trouble, go and tell His Majesty that he wants to easily take down Chu State. I have some solutions."
The guard was expressionless and did not respond to her words.
Chu Xi was not in a hurry, she believed that these words would reach the emperor's ears.
Chu Xi was right. After she left, the imperial guard called one of his subordinates and asked him to pass on the news.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously, "She is a princess, what can she know?"
"But bring her here."
Soon, Chu Xi arrived at Guangming Palace, and she took the initiative to kneel on the ground.
Such knowledge made the emperor feel much better.
He was originally unwilling to let the prince lead the troops to the frontier, but it was not because he was reluctant to part with his father and son.
Instead, he was worried that once he succeeded, the crown prince would take the credit.
There is already a state of Yun, and with the addition of a state of Chu, I am afraid that the prince will plot against him to abdicate at that time, and the courtiers and people will not disagree.
As for Jiang Guo...
The emperor ignored it.
"If you have anything to say, let the princess speak."
Chu Xi: "These words, I want to change my promise."
The emperor looked at her in surprise... What kind of promise, could it be that he let his parents go?
I'm afraid this won't work. Only after the death of the king can he annex Chu completely.
Thinking of this, the emperor complained to the crown prince. If he hadn't followed the plan at the beginning, the Yun kingdom would not be helping to attack the Chu kingdom, but obeying orders.
Chu Xi took a deep breath, "I will be the prince's side concubine."
"Your Majesty, this is not an excessive request. No matter how respectful the crown prince's side concubine is, she is only a concubine, and my identity is suitable to be a crown princess."
"If Chu State is defeated, you will need me to appease the people of Chu State. If they know that Chu State Princess is willing to be Prince Bei Xiao's side concubine, they will be more obedient to you."
This is true, but... the emperor is not very willing.
"Bei Xiao has a lot of good men. The princess is mainly willing. I can help her host a husband selection banquet."
The corner of Shou'an's mouth twitched, he had never seen anyone say that name directly.
Chu Xi didn't panic, "Your Majesty, I want to marry the prince not because of his status, but because I fell in love with him when we first met."
No matter how many good men there are, how many are princes.
Even a prince may not necessarily ascend to the throne.
Even if you can ascend to the throne, you may not be able to rule the world.
If she wants to marry, she must marry the overlord of the world.
The emperor didn't believe this, he was accurate in judging people, and it was precisely because of the accuracy that these days he always didn't want to think about the past and the queen's words.
truth……
This is a rarity.
He couldn't help being a little displeased, "Princess, let's talk first."
"Then His Majesty has to promise me first."
Chu Xi didn't understand, but it was just the title of side concubine, why not give it to her.
Could it be that the prince will not allow women into the East Palace in the future?
The emperor bent his fingers, lightly pinched the jade beads on the bracelet, and chuckled, "I haven't met anyone who dares to negotiate terms with me for many years."
Chu Xi raised her head boldly, "Then I will be the first one His Majesty has met in these years."
"Okay, when the prince comes back, I can make an order."
"However, I cannot guarantee whether the crown prince will accept it, or whether you will change your mind at that time."
Hearing this, Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she hadn't reached the conditions she expected, she knew she couldn't go any further.
Going one step further, I'm afraid there will be nothing.
"More than half a year ago, Chu State had an additional national teacher."
"He can calculate the future by pinching his fingers, and the emperor trusts him very much."
Calculate the future?
The emperor was silent for a while, "How much trust?"
Chu Xi said, "There was a severe drought in Chu State before, and the national teacher asked Father to fast for three days. After three days, there will be rain."
"Father did as he did, and there is indeed rain..."
The emperor was thoughtful, "What else?"
Chu Xi's face was not very good, "Father's pampering concubine, and the time of pampering, are all set by the national teacher, Father trusts him very much."
"One more thing, my third brother, the third prince of Chu, does your Majesty know how he died?"
The emperor had heard about the death of the prince of a country, and said, "He was robbed and killed by bandits."
Chu Xi nodded and shook her head again, "That's what the public said, but in fact, the national teacher told the father that the life of the third prince is hard, and it is not good for the father to live."
emperor:"……"
Even killing parents and children, this is no longer simple trust.
"As long as His Majesty can let the national teacher obey your orders and attack the Chu State, you can cooperate with the outside without any effort."
Chu Xi lowered her head, thinking that as long as she wins the national teacher, not to mention her father, even the people of Chu country will obey Bei Xiao.
"I see, let's send the princess back."
Shouan hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty, where should the servant send the princess?"
The emperor glanced at him and said, "The place where I lived."
Is this not going to be locked up?
Shou'an took Chu Xi back to the original bedroom in a daze, but soon, the guards who were guarding over there came again.
The leader walked up to Chu Xi, "If the princess wants to go out or meet someone, you can tell me."
