Rather be a concubine

Chapter 258
Chu Zheng's eyes were as hot as a soldering iron, and Bo Yuqiao couldn't ignore it, but she was suffocating in her heart, and she didn't want to pay attention to Chu Zheng, she just lay on the bed without a brocade quilt on her body, after all Yangzhou in mid-June is really very hot, making it extremely difficult for Bo Yuqiao, a young lady who has lived in the capital for more than ten years, to adapt.

Bo Yuqiao is pregnant with Chu Zheng's first child, if so, she can be regarded as an extremely precious amulet, and since she is traveling from Prince Rui's mansion, the dirty things in the mansion will not affect Bo Yuqiao, Even if her fetus is not very stable, it is better than staying in Beijing and being the target of public criticism.

At this moment Chu Zheng took a few steps forward, the footsteps stopped in front of the bed, Bo Yuqiao could hear them very clearly, but at this moment she still closed her almond eyes tightly, Chu Zheng had nothing to do with her.

Now Chu Zheng is not happy. After all, the soup that he made earlier was given to A Yue. What's the reason?
If sister Qiao didn't know Ayue's true identity now, Chu Zheng would have liked to have Chu Yue change back into men's clothes immediately, and then stay away from Bo Yuqiao, so as to save him from having any thoughts that he shouldn't have.Chu Yue is Chu Zheng's only younger brother, so he is extremely confused right now, and Chu Zheng can't act rashly. I just hope that Chu Yue can figure it out, and don't ruin the relationship between brothers because of a little lady. point.

If A Yue's feelings for Bo Yuqiao were known by the saint, the saint would probably not keep Bo Yuqiao in this world anymore, even if the little lady was still pregnant with his blood, the saint would not care.

Because of this, Chu Zheng didn't want to bring this matter up with Chu Yue. After all, if the eldest brother got the news, things would be bad.

People in the world often say that today's Emperor Chongwen is the most lenient, reducing taxes and exempting taxes, and working hard to govern, which is not a little bit better than the previous emperor.However, Chu Zheng knew his biological elder brother very well. If he had hidden ambitions in his heart, he would not stand out from the many princes and become the new emperor.

Although the sage occupied the position of the eldest son of the emperor back then, the queen mother was just a little noble concubine, and her mother's family had no power in the court. The elder brother's situation was extremely difficult. If he hadn't been decisive and ruthless, he might have died a long time ago. Died in the battle for succession.

This point, Chu Zheng sees it most clearly, so when Empress Dowager An wanted to support him to fight against his elder brother, Chu Zheng did not hesitate to defile himself, and won the title of King Li, because he did not want to fight between brothers. A rift arises because of power.Because of the reputation of violence, Empress Dowager An couldn't let Chu Zheng make any changes. After all, this was also her bloodline. If she was really demoted to a commoner, Empress Dowager An would not bear it.

However, in recent years, Chu Zheng had not been with Chu Yue for a long time since he left the palace to open a mansion, so it was not clear that Empress Dowager An had already shifted her focus and put her mind on Chu Yue.

After all, both the eldest and the second sons were too unfilial to suppress An's family and not allow their relatives to monopolize power. For Emperor Chongwen, this was a matter of course.Although Empress Dowager An is now a queen mother, she was also a girl of the An family back then. Now that the emperor wants to seize the power of the An family, even though Emperor Chongwen is her eldest son, Empress Dowager An still can't bear it.She is not only Chu Yao's son, but now that the eldest son is unfilial, she can only choose the youngest son to support her. After all, Ayue is still very young, and he is much easier to control than Ayao and Azheng.

Chu Zheng stayed in Yangzhou for longer than Bo Yuqiao had expected. At first, Bo Yuqiao thought she would never see that Yangzhou skinny horse named Qingnu again, but after more than ten days of goodbye, that charming woman reappeared In front of her, she just looked really embarrassed.

The lotus blue satin gown with gold thread embroidered with pomegranates was originally worn by this Yangzhou skinny horse, but now it has been stained by mud and water, stained with blood and mud, it is really annoying to look at.Besides, Qing Nu's temple hair is messy. Originally, this prostitute had a very good life, but now her hairpins are scattered, and her hair is also tangled into knots. Coupled with her red and swollen cheeks, Bo Yuqiao doesn't want to look at Qing Nu more.

The well-behaved Yangzhou skinny horse didn't know what he had experienced before he fell into such a predicament.

Bo Yuqiao frowned slightly, and there was a trace of surprise in her apricot eyes. She was not a person of pure character, but now she was in danger. It was not because she felt pity for this slave, but because this prostitute exuded a The butt smells bad, and there is a strong fishy smell in it, just like abalone.

At this moment Chu Zheng is also in the upper room. The reason why he didn't bring Qing Nu to the main hall is because Qing Nu's current appearance is really too eye-catching. Accidents arise.Although Chu Zheng is very capable, but a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, and he does not want to ask for trouble.

Both Chu Zheng and Bo Yuqiao sat on the mahogany stools, their slender fingers were as long as those carved from white jade, with a thin layer of calluses on them from martial arts practice, which added a bit of rigidity.At this moment, Chu Zheng casually looked at the teacup with his fingers, and then his phoenix eyes squinted at Qing Nu who was kneeling on the ground, and his thin lips curled into a sarcasm.

Seeing Chu Zheng's regal appearance, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help shaking her head secretly.Although she knew at first that it was impossible for Chu Zheng to fall in love with a thin Yangzhou horse, after all, with a pair of jade arms and a prostitute that thousands of people tasted, Chu Zheng despised it very much.

But this Qingnu seemed to treat him sincerely, and Chu Zheng also brought Qingnu back to the inn before, why did Chu Zheng ignore this little lady in such a state of desperation now?

Bo Yuqiao couldn't figure out what Chu Zheng was thinking, so she kept silent, and after about half a cup of tea, Chu Zheng finally spoke.

"Qing Nu, where is Master Qi?"

At this moment, there was an undisguised coldness in Chu Zheng's words, and even Bo Yuqiao felt a little uncomfortable, and when Qing Nu, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the words, his dilapidated body trembled as if sifting chaff, which added a little bit of discomfort. Poor.If Qing Nu still had the original delicate and charming appearance, Chu Zheng might still have a heart of pity and pity, but with this dirty appearance, even the beggars on the side of the road would not pay more attention to Qing Nu.

Qing Nu raised her eyes tremblingly, looked at Chu Zheng, and said firmly.

"What are you talking about, son? Why can't the servants understand?"

Hearing this, the coldness in Chu Zheng's phoenix eyes grew stronger. He was originally not a good-natured person, and he tolerated Chu Yue because Chu Yue was his mother's brother.Even if he tolerated Bo Yuqiao, it was because he liked her. Otherwise, even if Bo Yuqiao was pregnant, if Chu Zheng was angered, the child would not be a weed.

Seeing that she was still talking hard about Qing Nu at this moment, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help shaking her head slightly. This prostitute is really too bold, just as Chu Zheng is a rich man?To fool His Royal Highness King Rui like this, presumably this humble life will not have to be left behind.

Contrary to Bo Yuqiao's expectations, Chu Zheng did not kill Qing Nu immediately, but directly threw the teacup in his hand on Qing Nu's forehead.The force on the teacup was not small, and Qingnu's forehead immediately became red and swollen, showing a trace of dark red blood.

There was a slap, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattered into pieces, which made Bo Yuqiao think inwardly that it's a pity, this is a high-quality Ru kiln teacup, if it can be taken to the present world, it is said to be worth it Wanjin is not an exaggeration, and now it is ruined by a prostitute, which is really a pity.

Qingnu seemed to be shocked by Chu Zheng's cold-blooded and ruthless behavior, and immediately widened her phoenix eyes, but unfortunately, the eyes were full of bloodshot eyes like a silk net, and she had long since lost the previous appearance of cutting her pupils with autumn water. The actual oozing blood left along the dirty cheeks is really annoying.

"Qingnu, I'll give you another chance. If you don't tell me where Master Qi is, you don't have to keep this life."

Knowing that this prostitute is related to Master Qi Zimuqi, Bo Yuqiao also knows that Qing Nu's life is probably safe.Originally, Bo Yuqiao thought that he could only get the news of Master Qi after getting Suzhou, but he never thought that he found the clues after arriving in Yangzhou, which was a surprise.

Qing Nu was probably scared out of his wits by Chu Zheng, and kowtowed at him immediately, and then said anxiously.

"I hope you will spare the life of the slave family! The slave family has only heard of Master Qi's name, but has never been lucky enough to meet him, but Yu Nian, the magistrate of Yangzhou, must be aware of this matter. When the slave family went to the magistrate's mansion to accompany him for a drink, I just heard the news from Master Qi."

Hearing that this matter was related to Yu Nian, the magistrate of Yangzhou, Chu Zhengjian frowned even tighter. If Qi Zimu is now in the magistrate's mansion, he still has to send a few dead men to investigate in the magistrate's mansion. Corrupt officials had long been on guard against him, but Chu Zheng would feel ashamed if he did not save Lord Qi.

After getting the news he wanted, Chu Zheng didn't want to let Qing Nu dirty his eyes in front of him again, so he called Ah Yi into the upper room and asked him to take Qing Nu down so that he could take care of him.

As for the sad look on Chu Zheng's brows and eyes, Bo Yuqiao naturally saw all of it, but she couldn't figure it out in her heart. It was clear that Chu Zheng was His Royal Highness King Rui of the dynasty, so he justly and honestly wiped out all the corrupt officials. so what?Why does Ming Dynasty insist on insinuating, maybe even fold himself in, it is really a bad idea.

Although Bo Yuqiao knew that the Yan Gang was powerful and colluded with local officials, he didn't know that the Yan Gang also had great influence in Beijing, and Anjia and Zuoxiang Wanzhen were the big leaders.

With the An family on top, if Chu Zheng really insisted, Queen Mother An would have to be involved. After all, Queen Mother An was also the most honorable woman in the Daqian Dynasty. If she was found guilty of murdering the imperial court official, It must have shaken the foundation of the country.

Although Chu Zheng was not a loyal minister, the Daqian Dynasty was ruled by the Chu family. As a child of the royal family, he naturally wanted to protect the foundation of his ancestors.
