Daughter of the prosperous age: the multi-faceted prince and the only favorite concubine

Chapter 51
In the early morning of the next day, Murong Hao bid farewell and left.But Yunxi was called by Chu Weijing to the study outside.

Looking at his daughter standing there slim and graceful, Chu Weijing said softly, "You lost a lot of blood earlier, please sit down."

"Thank you, Daddy."

Jun Xi didn't delay much, and sat down directly, waiting for Chu Weijing to speak.

After a period of unbearable silence, Chu Weijing took the lead and said, "I heard from Steward Qin that you used your blood to drive away the Heart-eating Gu?" There was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Yeah." Yunxi only answered one word.She knew that Chu Weijing would ask about this sooner or later, but she didn't want to say too much.

"How do you know that you are the host of Lingshuiyu? Did your mother tell you?" There was some inquiry in her tone, which made Yunxi feel uncomfortable.

Yun Xi suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, and said bluntly: "My mother never told me about this, she just told me that Ling Shuiyu must not fall into the hands of others before parting."

Chu Weijing sighed and said, "That's what Murong Hao told you?"

Yun Xi saw that she couldn't hide it, so she nodded directly.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this answer, Chu Weijing's face suddenly became ugly, and he raised his voice and asked, "Has he ever done anything with Lingshuiyu?"

The discomfort in Yun Xi's heart was even worse, but on the surface, she only acted as if her father was worried about her body, afraid that Murong Hao would come prepared and hurt her.

In order to reassure Chu Weijing, Yunxi said with some panic on her face: "No, he just asked me to keep it well and not tell others."

"Really?" Chu Weijing asked suspiciously.

Yun Xi only felt that her father was only looking at her, as if to see if she had lied.

She raised her head to meet Chu Weijing's provocative gaze, and nodded softly but firmly.

Chu Weijing didn't ask any more questions, and continued, "King Jing is right. Lingshuiyu is not an ordinary item. If it spreads, it may bring you endless disasters. I have explained to Steward Qin and Doctor Cheng. You usually Keep it well and never expose it to others.”

"Yes, Daddy." Yun Xifu solemnly replied with a salute.

"Okay, you go back and rest. Instruct the kitchen to make some good buns for you these days. It's not peaceful outside, so don't go out if you have nothing to do." Chu Weijing continued.

"The daughter will leave first." Yun Xi turned and left without talking about anything else.

"Old Qin, what do you think?" Chu Weijing suddenly spoke to the air when there was only Chu Weijing left in the room.

The bookshelves moved away silently from both sides, and a muscular figure flashed out from behind. It was Qin Yi, the chief steward of the General Military Mansion and the commander of the emperor's hidden guard.

He walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down steadily, with no respect on his face when outsiders were around.

Chu Weijing's expression was normal, but he seemed to be accustomed to such scenes.

Qin Yi calmly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before saying, "It seems that the second lady is not an ordinary person, so she must not be telling the truth."

"You guessed right. The princess once mentioned that King Jing was the one who rescued Yunxi from Anye Pavilion." Chu Weijing sighed and continued.

"Oh? That's interesting, but I don't know if King Jing is doing it for Lingshuiyu or for Hongluan Xingdong!" Qin Yi's playful voice sounded, as if he was really interested in this kind of gossip.

"My fear is that it's both."

Qin Yi chuckled twice, his voice somber and penetrating.

"How...how will you report this matter?" Chu Weijing asked hesitantly.

"Truly."

As if he knew Chu Weijing's worry, Qin Yi said indifferently: "Don't worry, perhaps King Jing is not the only one who is moved by Hong Luan's star, maybe he can also achieve a marriage?"

"You know that King Jing is not just a prince who has been ill for a long time and is far away from court." Chu Weijing gave Qin Yi a hard look, and said, "I have been operating in Jingcheng for many years, and now I have the military power in the south of the Yangtze River. What do you think? Will the emperor marry my daughter to the prince?"

Qin Yi shook his head and retorted: "No matter how extraordinary King Jing is, it can't change the fact that his body is absolutely impossible to participate in the competition for the position."

"What's more, his identity..." Qin Yi stopped suddenly, "That's all I can say. But you have to understand in your heart that since the second lady is definitely the host of Lingshuiyu, she is destined to be a member of the royal family in this life , then ordering King Jing is her best choice."

The atmosphere in the study room became more and more serious, Qin Yi continued: "The crown prince has already appointed the daughter of Prime Minister Helian, and the marriage was originally arranged for the emperor to balance the struggle between the crown prince and the third prince. If the emperor agrees to order the second lady Give it to King Jing, then the crown prince's position will be stable."

"Does King Jing support the prince?" Chu Weijing asked suspiciously. He has been stationed at the border for many years and has never heard of such rumors. He only thinks that King Jing is like an invisible person. , Frail and sickly is everyone's inherent impression of King Jing.But now it seems that these impressions are not so accurate.

Chu Weijing knew that what Qin Yi said in front of him was true, and this had reached the limit of what he could say. For the rest, as the leader of the hidden guards, he couldn't possibly say anything else.

"In short, no matter what. I was the one who betrayed Yun Xi's biological mother back then, and now I only hope to protect her forever."

Qin Yi shook his head in disbelief, and changed the subject: "The stronghold of An Ye Pavilion in Lin'an is Tianxiang Tower, and the Qianfan Pavilion opposite Tianxiang Tower, do you know whose business it is?"

"King Jing's?" Chu Weijing asked in surprise.

"You guessed right. Someone deliberately revealed the existence of Tianxianglou to me. It seems that King Jing's power cannot be underestimated, and he has no intention of hiding it from the emperor. It seems that he has a deep affection for the second lady. "

"We'll discuss this matter later. I wonder how the matter of Tianxianglou is handled?" Chu Weijing was upset and didn't want to say any more.

Knowing Chu Weijing's troubles well, Qin Yi changed the subject very cleverly, saying: "My hidden guards are already interrogating. If there is a result, I'm afraid I will go back to Beijing to report to the emperor first."

"Afraid they will cause trouble in Yanjing?"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Jiangnan has been settled, and you can handle the rest."

Yun Xi, who was listening to Xuelou alone, recalled every sentence Chu Weijing asked herself, thinking about the meaning behind each sentence.

Yun Xi was sure that she couldn't completely hide it from her father.

But about Murong Hao, she still didn't want her father to know too much, she always felt that her father would definitely not allow her to use Lingshuiyu for Murong Hao.

Suddenly, a small figure flashed to Yun Xi reluctantly, blocking her way.

Xiao He quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Yun Xi, and Yun Xi, who was immersed in her own thoughts, was also taken aback.

Gather your mind and take a closer look at this dusty little animal nestled on the ground like a ball of hair, still looking pitifully at Yunxi.

A word "cute" popped up in Yunxi's heart!
"Is this a puppy raised by someone in the house?"

Jun Xi squatted down and tentatively stretched out her right hand to Mao Tuan.Sure enough, the hair ball also slowly stretched out its front paws, and put them on Yunxi's hand.

"It's so cute." Yun Xi sighed, she likes this kind of furry animal the most, and when she saw it, she felt her heart soften.

Xiao He pushed Yun Xi and said, "Miss, it seems to be injured."

Junxi also saw the blood stains on the little hairball, and felt so distressed that she picked up the hairball herself regardless of Xiaohe's obstruction.

"Let's go to Doctor Cheng and let him have a look."

"Miss, don't worry, it's just a skin injury, it will be fine in two days." Dr. Cheng said.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to put it back to Xuelou to take care of it.

While bandaging, Doctor Cheng said suspiciously: "I didn't expect this kind of fox to exist in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it looks docile, it's wild and hard to train. Miss, you have to be careful."

"fox?"
