Chapter 76

After hearing Xia Keyu's words, Chu Yuan immediately got up and sent Chi Yan to ask the prince to come out of the palace to discuss countermeasures.

Xia Keyu continued to say the second thing he heard:
"What I heard from the fifth princess is that there seems to be a princess in the palace who died on the way to get married with Tubo. This matter was caused by Concubine Ning."

Before she finished speaking, she keenly felt that Chu Yuan's temperament had changed drastically. The clean and noble aura before had completely turned into a murderous aura.

The emperor was angry, but that's all.

"Sure?"

He stared fixedly at Xia Keyu, and there was even an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

Xia Keyu was stared at, a little afraid of such Duke Chu, so he couldn't help taking a step back.In Yuan Zhen's memory, he didn't know how many princesses there were in the palace.

So I don't know much about the secret behind this matter.

Seeing Xia Keyu's actions, Chu Yuan took a deep breath to calm himself down.Only then did an old news slowly begin.

It turned out that the queens in the palace gave birth to a daughter and a son one after another. The son was naturally the current prince, but the daughter was two years older than the prince, and she was the eldest princess in the palace.

This eldest princess is the well-deserved jewel in the palm of her hand, and is much loved by her majesty and empress.

Seven years ago, the Tubo family bowed their heads to the Great Zheng State and asked for a marriage; now, in order to show their friendship, His Majesty sent the eldest princess who had just grown up to a marriage.

Although the queen was reluctant to give up her beloved daughter, due to the good relations between the two countries, there was no room for redemption under the emperor's decree, so she had to give up.

Unexpectedly, shortly after leaving the capital, the eldest princess died on the way as soon as she arrived in Tubo.

When the news was sent back to the capital, the empress was heartbroken for a moment. She blamed herself for being weak for not protecting her daughter well, and also resented the emperor for being cruel.

Grief-stricken, he asked himself to become a monk, and has been leading the practice in Ganye Temple to save the eldest princess
At this point in the story, Xia Keyu already understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also remembered that when he first met Chu Yuan, the elderly woman in Ganye Temple was probably the current queen.

Chu Yuan reached out and gently stroked Xia Keyu's bun, signaling her not to be afraid, and only said in a low voice:

"For many years, my sister has been blaming herself for the death of the eldest princess, and she is in such pain. Now, she can be relieved."

Seeing that Chu Yuan's aura had returned to normal, Xia Keyu nodded obediently.

Chu Yuan gently touched an inconspicuous scar on Xia Keyu's white forehead with his fingertips: "You are injured."

"Really?" Xia Keyu was at a loss.

In today's carriage, she actually collided with Bai Xiaoxiao, and was stabbed to the forehead by the golden hairpin on Bai Xiaoxiao's head.

It's just that although she is bold and careful, she is always a bit rough towards herself and doesn't care.

Chu Yuan nodded, his gaze became hot, he took another step forward, and then kissed her scar.

Xia Keyu's breath was so frightened that he stared at him with wide eyes, feeling the warmth from his forehead.
She didn't understand why Chu Yuan kissed her wound, would it make the wound heal faster?

Suddenly, a woman's crisp voice came from outside the window, it was Qing Ya: "Miss, Duke Chu, it's time to eat~"

In Qing Ya's voice, there was a bit of joy from the heart.

Hearing the sound, Chu Yuan took a step back and looked at Xia Keyu tenderly.

Xia Keyu was puzzled, but she still said to Qing Ya, "Come in~"

Hearing the sound, Qing Ya opened the door swiftly, and the other maids behind her hurriedly brought in all the food.Immediately the table was full.

“Today’s meal is so rich~”

In the past, according to the rules, each meal for Xia Keyu, from the main course to the dessert, consisted of eight courses in total.Today, it is far more than eight dishes.

When Xia Keyu saw her favorite salt-baked chicken drumsticks, she immediately rushed over.

Qing Ya pursed her lips and snickered, "Miss, there are guests here today~"

Xia Keyu belatedly said to Chu Yuan, "Would you like to have some food together?"

In fact, she is a bit protective of food. Other vegetables, meat and fish soup can be given to Chu Yuan, but the chicken legs can only be hers alone.

She thought that Chu Yuan would refuse, after all, Duke Chu's mansion was next door, so it was very close to walk.Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan broke his mouth and said: "Okay~"

Xia Keyu's face was full of confusion. When it was time to eat, she desperately picked up vegetables for Chu Yuan. From the green vegetables to the soft stewed braised pork, including fish soup, they were all scooped up for Chu Yuan, intending to feed him.

He still didn't forget to say to Qing Ya: "Remember to add food to Duke Chu~"

Just to keep Chu Yuan from "touching" her salt-baked chicken legs.

Chu Yuan was very moved when he saw Xia Keyu adding food to himself.

Qingya on the side also sniggered, her young lady really loves Chu Guogong deeply, look at this virtuous appearance.

The two were having dinner when a person walked in through the gate outside.

Qing Ya raised her foot and saw Fan Yin from the window, she was startled and whispered, "It's Young Master Biao."

Xia Keyu and Chu Yuan looked calm and continued to eat.

As soon as Fan Yin stepped into the room, what he saw was Xia Keyu and Chu Yuan sitting together, eating like a couple!

"You guys!" Fan Yin felt his anger bursting out from the top of his head.

Xia Keyu smiled all over his face and said, "Cousin is here, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, let's eat together~"

Fan Yin glanced at Chu Guogong next to him, who looked calm and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his presence here.

Fan Yin's official position is under Chu Guogong, so naturally he can't say anything, so he sat down and said to Qing Ya in a rough voice: "Add food!"

He wanted to take a closer look, where did Duke Chu get his face to eat.

In order to prevent Fan Yin from eating his salt-baked chicken drumsticks, Xia Keyu added vegetables and meat to Fan Yin as usual, saying: "Cousin, eat more~"

Although Chu Yuan on the side didn't show it on the surface, he was a bit appetizing after all.

Only then did Fan Yin look at Chu Yuan proudly, and said, "I heard that Duke Chu's mansion is always rich, why do you have to eat out even for a meal?"

Xia Keyu was busy smoothing things over and said, "The food tastes better if people eat more."

Fan Yin really admired his cousin a little bit, this person was not married yet, and her elbows were turned out.

At the moment, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and then he threatened:

"I'm afraid Chu Guogong is not clear, our Fan family is a younger generation, we can live in a daughter's family. If you want three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right, and insulting my cousin, my Fan family will never let it go."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan only put down his chopsticks, and solemnly said: "Please rest assured, the Fan family, such a thing will never happen."

Even if Fan Yin was full of anger, facing Chu Yuan's attitude, he had no chance to vent.

It seems that he still has to find an opportunity to mention his cousin.How can you bring someone home before you are married? It's against the rules, it's really against the rules!
