Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 38

Sitting on the chariot, Chu Yan's expression was extremely tense. During this time, she kept pulling her hand hard, nervously picking her palm with her index finger, and that piece of skin was reddened by her.

Zhao Ronghua's desolate and desperate appearance kept swaying in front of her eyes, suffocating her chest, and she felt a little out of breath.

She is not from this era, but she has worn it, and it has been so long. She also has a heart, and she will have feelings for the person who raised her.

She can carry Wei Meng's unrestrained style and carelessness in this era, but there seems to be a part of the real Zhao Chuyan's emotions in her body. She understands the burden on her shoulders, and understands that Zhao Ronghua is also a part of her. part of the responsibility.

The walking chariot finally stopped outside the gate of Huayan Hall. Chu Yan tightly squeezed her palms, stepped off the chariot with big strides, and then walked towards the hall.

"See Your Highness the Crown Princess!" The two eunuchs on duty hurriedly knelt down.

Chu Yanli ignored them, and strode in without looking sideways, and the two eunuchs seemed to say something behind her, Chu Yan's mind was buzzing, but she didn't hear anything.

She walked around the courtyard with ease and went to the study. Along the way, she passed the pond with green willows, countless flowers and plants. It was the first time she stepped into the Huayan Palace for the banquet, and the scenery when she was with him.

Chu Yan didn't have the heart to stop and watch, walked to the door of the study, and said in a cold voice, "Chu Yan begged to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The room was silent and there was no response.

She said it again, and Hanzhi who came up from behind weakly said something behind her, "Master, there is no one guarding the door, so His Royal Highness must not be in the study."

It was only then that Chu Yan realized what she had overlooked. The two eunuchs were chattering behind her just now, so they were talking about this.

She was restless, and she didn't know who she was asking, "Then where did he go?"

Hanzhi glanced at the sky, "I don't know, this servant...it's not time for lunch yet."

She glanced at Chu Yan's ugly face, and quickly comforted her, "Master, don't be in a hurry. His Highness must be busy right now, so he is not in the study. Let's go to the door and ask the eunuch on duty to know where His Highness has gone."

Having said that, Hanzhi sincerely hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince would not be found by the master too soon. Seeing that the Master was angry with this appearance, if he met His Highness the Crown Prince, he did not know what would happen.

Chu Yan strode towards the door again, and asked the two young eunuchs, "Where did the Crown Prince go?"

One of them replied, "Going back to His Royal Highness, the servant does not know, His Royal Highness left early today, it has been quite a while, but look at the direction... it seems to be returning to Yong'an Palace."

Back to Yong'an Palace?
Chu Yan pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, just stepped on the chariot quickly, "Get up and go back to Yong'an Palace!"

She just wanted to ask clearly what happened to her grandfather's illness. She didn't believe that he would do such a cruel thing, but when she thought that it had happened for so many days, she was always in the dark. In the middle of the day, another voice in her heart said to her coldly: Isn't this the obvious fact?He didn't tell you, but because he did something wrong, what are you expecting?
Chu Yan's eyes drooped, and her hands tightened her sleeves.

She thought she knew him a little bit, but now it seems that people who want to be emperors are probably not so good-looking.

Gu Qi went back to Yong'an Palace early today, and everything went well in Xijiang. In the morning, he learned that Prince Gong had arrived in Xijiang yesterday with his troops, taking Zhao Wu's place.

Due to Zhao Wu's illness, there were no generals in Huai City, the people were a little panicked, and the garrison was a little confused.Fortunately, Prince Gong arrived in time to appease the people and the soldiers. Qin Shu, the son-in-law, undertook the task of distributing food and grass, while Xiao Che stayed on the tower, guarding with the soldiers guarding the city, and also supported the battlefield in the rear Zhuo Dingyuan on the Internet, in case of emergency.

Things in Xijiang were back on track again. Gu Qi was in the study for a while to approve papers, and Wanxi reported that when the imperial physician went to Yong'an Palace to check Chu Yan's pulse yesterday, he had already said that she was fine, and there was no need to drink any more from today. medicine.

He smiled slightly, and looked at the sunny day outside, "Since she doesn't need to take medicine, let's go back earlier today, and take her out for a walk to bask in the sun. After being bored in the house for a few days, she must have It's getting moldy."

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and told Wanxi, "Inform the people in the imperial dining room that you can cook some good dishes today, and bring big fish and meat, and the taste can be a little stronger than usual. "

These days when she was ill, because the imperial doctor said to avoid food, the dishes served in the imperial dining room were all light and nourishing, but seeing Chu Yan's appearance, it seemed that eating was not fun, and her mouth almost faded out.

Gu Qi walked out while laughing, other girls eat as light as they like, but she likes some spicy and exciting tastes.

When he returned to Yong'an Palace, he walked straight towards Chu Yan's side hall, but Chen Xiang leaned over to him in the yard and said, "His Royal Highness went to Yuanxi Hall early this morning, and said that she wanted to Let's see how Zhao Ronghua is doing these days, I don't know that you will come back so early, but I want my servant to go to Yuanxi Hall to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Princess?"

Gu Qi was surprised, "She went to Yuanxi Hall?"

But after thinking about it, she has such a close relationship with her mother. It is normal for her to go back and act like a baby after seeing her for a few days.

He continued to walk towards the side hall, "It's okay, I'll just wait in her room."

Since she didn't say she wouldn't come for dinner, she must be back soon.

Gu Qi never took a good look at her room before. It was only because she fell ill the moment she came here, and he didn't pay attention to the things around him. This time, there was no one in the room, so he had time to take a good look. Look.

Passing through the main hall of the side hall, the surrounding decorations are unexpectedly simple. The teacups and teapots on the table are all ordinary porcelain made according to the order, nothing special, unlike some people in the palace who like elegance, so I always like to use some delicate things.

He walked slowly to the room where she lived. There were more furnishings here than outside, but they were all simple things, such as two pots of untrimmed and thriving tiger piranha on the window sill, such as the one at the back of the house. A simple, elegant and fresh screen.

Gu Qi slowly raised his eyebrows at the screen, then walked closer to have a look.

Embroidered on the screen is a bamboo forest in the morning light, the green bamboos are still glistening with dewdrops, and the bamboo leaves flutter in the wind.The red sun has not yet risen, and the glow is hidden behind the clouds, but the faint morning light has penetrated through the clouds.

Upon closer inspection, every stitch and thread is very delicate, and the color scheme is elegant and dusty, which looks pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

He stretched out his hand and touched the fabric lightly, the touch was not very smooth, but it was very comfortable to the touch, as if he could feel how the person who embroidered it was concentrating on it at that time.

But just as he was concentrating on admiring the screen, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and following Wanxi's unspoken "See Your Highness the Crown Princess", another cold voice interrupted him hello.

"Is His Royal Highness in there?"

Wan Xi was taken aback by Chu Yan's attitude, "...Yes, Your Highness is inside, and this servant will go in and let you know."

"No need, I'll do it myself."

Chu Yan's voice was clear, and she said without warmth, "Chu Yan begs to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Qi seemed to have noticed something strange in her voice, and without turning his head, he still looked at the screen, but replied slowly, "Come in."

This was her house, and he was the one who came uninvited.

The door opened, Chu Yan strode into the room, and saw the person whose back was to her.

Gu Qi is only wearing a light blue gown today, with silver moiré embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, and with a slender back, he looks slightly comfortable.

But Chu Yan couldn't feel at ease, the more she saw him acting like nothing had happened, the more restless she felt.

She gritted her teeth, controlled her anger and asked him, "Your Highness, what is the current situation in Xijiang?"

Gu Qi's back froze, and then he turned around to look at her, there was a little bit of anger hidden in those bright and clear eyes, obviously he knew something.

He looked at her calmly, "Just say what you want to say."

With such a nonchalant attitude, such a bland and unashamed expression, Chu Yan was suddenly irritated. Why was this son still talking and laughing as usual when his aunt was so desperate?

She clenched her fists suddenly, "Your Highness thinks that when my grandfather was lying on the sick bed and was in danger, he lied to me for three whole days and let me stay in the room without knowing anything. This is really a person with a conscience. did something?"

Her words were too intense and her attitude was too tough, Gu Qi's eyes darkened, and her voice became tense, "Zhao Chuyan, do you know who you are talking to?"

The person who did something wrong still used his figure to suppress her?

Chu Yan felt angry, and suddenly smiled coldly, "Your Highness, you don't need to remind me, of course I know who I'm talking to. You are the high and mighty Prince, who doesn't respect you and love you? Anyone who dares to compete with you for power You have the absolute right to punish your relatives, no matter how close or distant they are, even your own grandfather, if he violated your imperial power, wouldn't he also end up dead and return to court?"

If it is said that Gu Qi had the heart to pamper her before and kindly reminded her of her speaking attitude, then the prince's authority has been seriously challenged now that he said these words.

His expression changed suddenly, and he approached Chu Yan step by step, "What did you say?"

"What I said, His Highness should know better than anyone else." Chu Yan looked at him without moving, the sharpness and anger in his eyes did not diminish at all, as if he was in a state of preparation for battle.

Gu Qi's heart was filled with anger, not only because of her desperate attitude of fighting to the death, but also because what she said was accusing him of murdering Zhao Wu for imperial power.

Not to mention whether he did it or not, even if he did, what right does she have to reprimand him?What's more, he never did such a thing from the beginning to the end.

Gu Qi only felt that his nerves were tense to the extreme, and there was a voice in his head clamoring to strangle her to death.

How relaxed and happy he was thinking of her originally, seeing the weather was good, and thinking of coming back to take her to bask in the sun, go out for a walk, then have a good meal, and relieve her worries when she was sick.

Even on the way back to the palace, he was thinking about how she would look at him with a smile on her face, and how she would be overjoyed when she said thank you.

But who would have expected that such a scene would be ushered in. She looked at him as if facing an enemy, her eyes were full of hatred and anger, she kept accusing him of murdering her grandfather, and she needed to rely on poisoning to achieve her goals in order to become despicable villain!
Fortunately, he was always thinking of her before, how could he know that he was such a despicable and shameless person in her eyes!She was so cruel and cold-blooded that she attacked her closest relatives, but all she wanted was to hold the world in her hands on the cold throne!

Gu Qi's chest suddenly ignited raging anger, anger and disappointment invaded alternately, driving away all his good moods, replaced by only pain and frustration.

"Do you think I did it?" He squeezed out the words word by word, his temples throbbed, and his fists were clenched tightly, wishing to tear this person who provoked him to pieces.

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, as if awakened by this sentence.

According to her thinking, he should have become angry from embarrassment, and should have ridiculed her for overreaching herself, even if he did it, so what could she do?

But he didn't say those words, he just looked at her so sadly and furiously, and asked, "Do you think I did it?"

The rationality that was expelled due to anger and things seemed to run back to the brain in an instant, and Chu Yan stared at Gu Qi blankly, as if to see the emotion in his eyes clearly.

There is heartache, disappointment, anger, and disbelief, but no matter how you look at it, the only thing that doesn't exist is guilt.

Chu Yan seemed to have realized something, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked up at him, "Didn't... His Highness do it?"

Her awakening came too late, just because Gu Qi was already enraged by her unhesitating conviction, he almost felt a fire in front of him.

He thought she was different, even though she was still respectful to him, but she was not someone else, and she would not make false claims with him.

She should be the little girl who stood in front of him desperately, telling him tearfully that she would protect him.

She should be the smart woman who stood up to his side when the crowd was besieging her. Just one look in her eyes could bring him the hope of dying and reviving.

She should be the Xie Yuhua who comforts him and understands him when he is fighting a trapped beast like a bereaved dog. Even if there is sympathy in her eyes, she always believes that he will become an excellent emperor, rule the world, and guide the world.

But she didn't, her understanding and support, tolerance and admiration were all replaced by indifference and hostility.

She didn't believe him at all, and sentenced him to death without asking.

The hatred in Gu Qi's chest grew stronger. The stupid thing he did in his life was to put his trust in the hands of someone who didn't trust him at all!

He gave her the right to approach him, so she had the opportunity to hurt him as a matter of course, and she hurt him without hesitation, piercing his heart like a dagger.
