Chapter 124

When everyone dispersed, Chu Xi walked into the room, her body was limp and weak, she fell to the ground, recalling everything that happened just now.

I don't even know what I'm doing.

She betrayed the state of Chu without knowing whether the state of Chu would fail.

Chu Xi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down.

no she ain't betrayal
A good bird chooses a tree to live in, she just made a correct choice.

Ending the war as soon as possible is also good for the people.

After convincing herself, Chu Xi stood up calmly and finished drinking the medicine brought by the maid.

At first, she wanted all the maids and guards who were with her to come back, but after thinking about it, she gave up again.

If they knew what she did, the people of Chu State might not serve her sincerely.

Chu Xi went back to live in the original place, which didn't arouse too much suspicion.

The queen knew in her heart that there was probably something behind the scenes, but she didn't ask because she wasn't interested in it.

On the contrary, Concubine Zheng felt very strange.

When I met the emperor several times, I almost couldn't help asking.

Then it was Xiao Changluo who entered the palace with gentleness every now and then, which made Concubine Zheng gradually forget about it.

But looking at the tenderness standing in front of her, Concubine Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't insist on it at the beginning, and she didn't start to prepare a plan.

If the plan accidentally succeeds and Chu Xi really becomes the Seventh Prince's Concubine, then she will cry to death now.

It's not that Chu Xi's status is not worthy of Zijin in the future, it's just...Concubine Zheng is very suspicious of how Chu Xi returned to her original residence.

She must have done something behind her back.

As for Chu Xi's hundred and ten minds, Zijin couldn't get enough of them.

Concubine Zheng pointed at Shizhu and Liuxu with a complicated expression, "You two, send Miss Wen back to the mansion later."

Seeing the grievance on Xiao Changluo's face, Concubine Zheng's eyes twitched, and she could only continue to say, "Together with His Highness Seven."

What sin did she do to give birth to such a son.

For more than ten years, who is she planning for?

Well now, nothing can be done.

Your Majesty treats her like any other concubine with a son, and Zijin is stuck in the Ministry of Rites. Even the seventh concubine she married is very ordinary.

Let Zijin ascend the throne... Concubine Zheng thought about it for several nights, and if she said something outrageous, it was very possible for her to usurp the throne herself.

After the two left, Concubine Zheng just sat there and sighed.

Now I can only watch the crown prince ascend to the throne, and the crown prince is not bad for Zijin. If other princes sit in that position, maybe they will even torment Zijin.

……

"Crown Princess, it's getting cold, don't open the window so wide."

Yun Zhao nodded, and closed the window without much energy.

In her hand were several letters, from her brother, and from Xiao Changyin.

It was just words of general concern, and nothing about the battlefield was mentioned.

Yun Zhao once asked the emperor, and the emperor asked her tentatively, "I remember that your brother should have written to you."

Yun Zhao tightly grasped his sleeves and loosened his hands again, "That's right, but my brother didn't mention the battlefield to my son."

"My son is worried after all, the two closest relatives are there."

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while. He had read those letters, and they were ordinary words of concern.

only……

"Crown princess, don't worry." The emperor rummaged around, took out a booklet and pushed it in front of Yun Zhao, "The prince led the troops to capture two cities, and in the middle... your brother is very brave."

Yun Zhao smiled, "My son, thank you for letting the emperor know."

The emperor nodded, "Go back first."

Thinking of this, the smile on Yun Zhao's face faded.

She closed the window and let out a slow breath.

After the state of Chu, where will it be?

Jiang Guo... Maybe Jiang Guo would raise his hand and surrender without even having to march.

After all, there is a huge disparity in strength, and there is no way to resist.

To rule the world, it is annexation and belonging, not in one position.

The day she was worried about would come sooner or later.

Sitting on the small couch by the window sill for a long time, some guards came outside Fanghua Hall.

Qiuyue hesitated for a while, then walked in, "Crown Princess, Princess Chu wants to see you."

"I remember that there are guards outside her bedroom."

Qiuyue: "Yes, it is the imperial guard who came to spread the word."

The imperial guards were personally arranged by the emperor. If Chu Xi made any movement, the first to know about it was the imperial guards, followed by the emperor.

So it was approved by the emperor.

"The servant girl went to find the empress."

Yun Zhao grabbed Qiuyue's sleeve, "It's just to say a few words, and it's not like jackals and leopards are there."

"Auntie, if you are worried, just wait outside."

Yun Zhao took a thick cloak and a fluffy hat, and then went out.

It was really windy outside, so she grabbed both sides of the cloak tightly and walked there slowly.

Soon, the place is reached.

Chu Xi asked someone to make good tea, and brought some snacks.

Seeing Yun Zhao come in, he smiled and said, "Princess, please sit down."

There was nothing unusual in her expression, as if the falling into the water did not exist before.

Yun Zhao sat across from her and took her tea again, but didn't drink it.

"I should have gone to the East Palace in the first place, but it's not convenient for me to be weak, so I can only invite the Crown Princess to come."

In fact, it wasn't that Chu Xi was putting on airs and didn't want to go there in person, but that she couldn't get out.

But she wasn't bothered.

It will be the same when she goes out again after the crown prince returns in victory.

"Your Majesty has promised me one thing."

Yun Zhao listened carefully.

"Your Majesty said that when His Highness the Crown Prince returns, he will arrange for me to enter the East Palace as a side concubine."

"I didn't want to." Chu Xi smiled wryly, "But the Crown Princess also knows that I can protect the people of Chu Kingdom only if I enter the East Palace."

Yun Zhao: "..."

"Prince Princess, don't worry, I will not rob Your Highness the Crown Prince with you."

"I just need a place for me in the East Palace."

Yun Zhao: "..."

She looked around at the snacks on the table, but she had no appetite.

Chu Xi said again, "Crown Princess, you have been silent all this time, are you angry?"

Yun Zhao was stunned, then shook his head, "Don't be angry."

If she can enter the Eastern Palace, this is her ability.

"I know that His Highness the Crown Prince often has conflicts with the Crown Princess..." Chu Xi paused, then lowered her head as if she was a little shy, "I will persuade Your Highness in the future."

Yun Zhao: "..."

She was silent for a long time before she looked at Chu Xi with a complicated expression, "Then I want to thank you in advance."

Just as Chu Xi raised her head, she lowered her head shyly, "This is what I should do."

Yun Zhao rubbed his arms, seeing that what Chu Xi was talking about was all about her going to the East Palace, so he lost interest in listening.

After listening for a long time, it was all unimportant words.

"It's getting late, I still have to go to my mother's place, the princess is still weak, let's rest first."

After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Chu Xi to stay, she smiled, quickened her pace, and walked out after a while.
