Chapter 5
"Report ~~~~"

The Lin family and Chu Yue were sitting around sipping tea, planning to propose marriage to the emperor after Chu Huaishan returned from the victorious battle, and betrothed Chu Yue to the crown prince Murong Xuanjue.

Thinking that the scourge of Chu Jin was eliminated today, the mother and daughter were happy in their hearts, but the tea that Fang drank was almost choked by the servant's shout from afar.

Lin's complexion suddenly sank, and he said angrily, "Do you think this is the vegetable market in Zhaodu? What are you talking about!"

The servant didn't care about Lin's reprimand, and knelt down and cried, "Ma'am, the emperor died!"

"What did you say?" Lin Shiben slapped the palm of the yellow pear wood table into a fist unconsciously, she stood up, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "A few days ago, when the master came to the palace to pay a visit, he said that his complexion remained the same. , how did you go all right?"

How could the servant answer her question?

Compared to Lin who cared about the big picture, Chu Yue was thinking about other things, "A calamity is a calamity. Just entering the palace will kill the emperor. It's bad luck." Fen looked at Lin with a clear face, and said again: "Father fought on the battlefield and marched for three days. After getting this order, I am afraid that he will turn back. The emperor left in a hurry. The eldest prince from Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian Staring at the throne with the third prince, Babaer, Zhaodu is afraid that the sky will change."

Lin's thin lips twitched, pointed at the beam with his index finger up, and said: "The sky will change again, but it's just dark clouds covering the sun and thunderstorms. After the haze is gone, the sky above the head is still the same, and no one has the ability to do it." Can punch a hole in it!"

She ordered her family Ding Kuaima to report the matter to Chu Huaishan who was on the march, and sent someone to inquire about the movement in the palace.

After everything was in place, she stepped back and closed the door, held her hand and Chu Yue said solemnly: "You and the prince agree in love. In the past, it was almost an imperial decree from the emperor. Now that the emperor is here, the prince will inherit the throne. Can you become a mother?" The Empress of Yitianxia is nothing more than a word from the Crown Prince. All the glory of your mother in this life has been placed on you."

Chu Yue smiled and nodded, quite self-confident: "Mother is at ease, my father has always been close to the prince, our Chu family holds military power in our hands, and this time helping the prince to ascend the throne and achieve hegemony, the father's credit is indispensable. Treat your daughter Entering the palace, relying on family background and beauty, you will definitely be able to win a good position."

"Don't laugh too brightly." Lin's movements gently covered Chu Yue's lips, and said, "After all, your eldest sister is a concubine who will be buried for the late emperor. The great funeral of the country is also for the family of our Chu family In mourning, you should cry when you should cry, so as not to be scratched by someone's painful feet."

'Clap clap clap'

A few crisp knocks on the door stopped the mother and daughter's words, and Lin ordered the door knocker to enter in a solemn voice.

But she never thought that it would be Chu Jin who came.

She was wearing the red narcissus cloak that Lin had prepared for her, and she added beautiful sunset makeup, making her appearance even more beautiful.

Lin was shocked, frowned and sighed: "Why are you back? Your Majesty, isn't he?"

"My daughter has not entered the palace." Chu Jin bowed to the end, and said respectfully: "Before stepping into the gate of the imperial city, there was news of the emperor's death. The father-in-law in front of the emperor sent his daughter back, and the daughter hurried to come Tell your mother about it."

Hearing what she said, Chu Yue couldn't sit still anymore.

Her eyes were full of mischief, and she stared at Chu Jin, "The jade book has been handed over, how can you still have a reason to go back to the house?"

With tears in his eyes, Chu Jin said with infinite sorrow: "Second Miss's lesson is that the rules in the palace are that when the emperor dies, the palace gate will be keyed. Except for the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials are not allowed to enter. How can a humble body trespass?"

Chu Yue wanted to say something more, but Lin stopped her and said, "Since you're back, let's go down and rest."

In this way, Chu Jin withdrew.

Murong Ke's death spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhaodu.Because of mourning, men and women shave their hair to mourn.

Chu Jin curled the end of her hair, picked up the scissors and cut off a small section, put it in an ebony brocade box, and handed it to Linglong to take it.

"Today is the luckiest of misfortunes." Linglong let out a long sigh of relief, and stepped back from the business with the brocade box in hand.

Thinking of what happened after being taken away by her father-in-law, Chu Jin couldn't help feeling that if it wasn't for the mercy of the heavens, it was the blessing of her biological mother's spirit in heaven.

When the first emperor passed away, there was a certain number of people who would be buried with him.

Chu Jin fled for a long time, but when the father-in-law found her and took her to the queue to the underground palace, he was stopped by the palace guards who led the way.

The people in the palace only said that the number of 88 concubines to be buried was full, and Empress Zhang ordered that if the remaining concubines were old people in the former palace, they would all be moved to live in the cold palace.If you are a beautiful girl who has just entered the palace today, and the new emperor ascends the throne to accumulate blessings and virtues, then go out of the palace.

In this way, she was kicked out of the palace inexplicably like a piece of shit luck.
At night, it was already late when the maid in the dining room brought the dinner.

During the national funeral, the Chu family was located in Zhaodu, and was highly valued by the late emperor, so naturally they had to deal with many trivial matters.

Once people get busy, they can't take care of Chu Jin, the 'scourge'.

Today's dinner is the same as in the past, a bowl of white rice porridge, a steamed bun with corn flour, and a plate of sour side dishes.

The maid threw the plate on the table in Chu Jin's room, and ran away in a panic.

Even a person of such a humble background as her was afraid of getting her own bad luck, Chu Jin laughed it off and didn't blame her.

She picked up the stack of side dishes with her chopsticks, and took out a silver hairpin from her sleeve and stuck it into it.

The silver hairpin has turned black, this dish, this porridge, and this steamed bun have all been poisoned by people.

She had expected early in the morning how Lin and Chu Yue would deal with her after she returned home safe and sound, so she didn't find it surprising.

Over the years, Chu Jin has long been used to such a cautious and step-by-step life.

She has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to turn around completely.

After years of dormancy, now, the opportunity finally came.

Early the next morning, Chu Huaishan rushed back to Zhaodu.

Not only the Lin family sent the letter in haste, but even the crown prince Murong Xuanjue also entrusted someone to deliver the letter to him, fearing that there would be a change in Zhao, and summoned him to return to the court as soon as possible.

It is not suitable for Chu Huaishan to enter the palace in a military uniform, so after rushing back to Zhaodu, the first thing to do is to go back to the Chu residence and change into a plain court uniform.

Lin's catkin wrapped her fingers around Chu Huaishan's chest, fastened the last button for him, and said softly in her ear: "Master has worked hard, dispatching troops to protect the crown prince. With this great achievement, the crown prince will surely ascend the throne." Thank you. So, don't forget our daughter."

Chu Huaishan nodded in response, hooked Lin's delicate jaw line with his index finger, and laughed openly.

Just as he was about to leave from the main hall, he ran into Chu Jin who had come to pay his respects.

Chu Jin saluted Chu Huaishan several times, but Chu Huaishan seemed to be blind, and went straight away without even noticing her existence.
