The concubine is often hard to chase: the prince stands aside

Chapter 88

Pulling Xiao Ruoyi, Xiaoyao Rufeng sat down opposite Chu Xun, poured a glass of water for each of the three, and said, "Xun, I think that as long as you are willing, the matter can be resolved in other ways, There is no need to involve the common people.”

Chu Xun looked at him, then sighed deeply, and said, "To tell you the truth, I actually don't agree with this method, but I don't care about family affairs, and it's my sister who decides!"

"What does your sister want to do? Based on what I know about her, she shouldn't really disregard the safety of Six Nights City." Xiaoyao Rufeng continued.

"I don't know either. In short, sister may hate Xuanyuan Yi to the bone, right? I didn't see what happened back then, but my sister has experienced it from the beginning to the end, so I don't know exactly what she thinks!" Chu Xun said.

"What did Xuanyuan Yi do to hurt you?" Xiao Ruoyi asked.Although she also knew that people shouldn't ask more questions when they didn't want to talk about it, but many things were misunderstood because people didn't want to talk about it.On the contrary, if you can talk about everything frankly, you are likely to find that the matter is easily resolved.

Xiaoyao Rufeng didn't stop her, in fact, he also felt that it would be easier to deal with the matter.He didn't want to help Xuanyuan Yi, but after all, if Liuye City is broken, many innocent people will be implicated in it.Such things are naturally avoided as much as possible.

Chu Xun was silent for a while, then as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. After listening, you come and tell me, shouldn't we do this?"

30 years ago, Chu Xun and Chu Ye's father Chu Tianxing met their mother Yang Yuefeng. At that time, Chu Tianxing was a well-known prodigal son in Liuye City. There are no more places.But he still thinks that he is the young master of the Chu family all day long, and never bothers to find a job to earn money to support himself.

And Yang Yuefeng is the daughter of a famous family.They met by chance, but the fate made Chu Tianxing never forget Yang Yuefeng ever since.Later, he sneaked into Yang's mansion against his courage, but was regarded as a thief and severely injured.And at this moment Yang Yuefeng happened to pass by and rescued him.

While he was recuperating in the Yang Mansion, Yang Yuefeng also gradually developed feelings for him.But the members of the Yang family were unwilling to let their daughter marry someone who didn't even have a family.But Yang Yuefeng was determined to follow Chu Tianxing.

Later, the Yang family made a condition that as long as Chu Tianxing could rank first in the imperial examination that year, they would agree to their marriage.

It was already summer at that time, less than three months before the autumn imperial examinations.Such a requirement is clearly a challenge for the strong.What's more, since Chu Tianxing fell behind in his family, he hasn't touched books for a long time. At this time, if he is asked to spend three months preparing for the imperial examination, it is a question of whether he can pass the exam, let alone top the list.So no one is optimistic about him!
But Chu Tianxing didn't think so. In short, it was an opportunity for him, so he must grasp it well.And Yang Yuefeng had always stood on the same side with him, so he was even more confident.

From that day on, for three months, he didn't even leave the door of the study.Those who did not believe that he could do it gradually began to believe that he could fulfill this demanding requirement.

After a few months, the results of the exam came out.Chu Tianxing was the No. [-] in the first class, that is, the number one scholar!

After learning the news, Chu Tianxing rushed back to Liuye City immediately.And the Yang family had no reason to push back, so they held a wedding for them and let them get married.

Not long after the marriage, the imperial court's imperial decree arrived, allowing Chu Tianxing to enter the court as an official.

Yang Yuefeng had never left Liuye City since she was a child, and when she heard that she was going to leave, she felt sad.Chu Tianxing took out all his savings and built a courtyard on the east side of Liuye City. At that time, it was just a three-room thatched hut. Then he planted a maple tree beside it with his own hands, and said to Yang Yuefeng: "Maple Son, no matter where we go, we will come back one day, this is our home!"

Then they went to Beijing, and every year in the future, Chu Tianxing would send people to repair those houses, and would also collect all kinds of maple trees to plant there.A few years later, the original thatched cottages became Hongye Villa.It's just that Chu Tianxing's position at that time was getting higher and higher, all the way to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The husband and wife don't have time to go back to Liuye City on weekdays, so the Red Leaf Villa has been taken care of by servants.However, they always believed in their hearts that Hongye Villa was their home, and they had been looking forward to returning to Liuye City with their children after Chu Tianxing passed away.But no one thought that they had never lived in the home they built with their own hands.

About 13 years ago, the first emperor was seriously ill, and the imperial physician was helpless.At this time, all the ministers in the court began to prepare for their future official careers.At that time, the court was roughly divided into two factions, one was the princeling party headed by Prime Minister Hua Yuebin, and the other was the Prince Yi party headed by the sixth prince.

Crown Prince Xuanyuanze's succession to the throne as the heir should be without controversy, but the news from the palace in those years all said that the former emperor intended to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.This is not groundless either.Xuanyuan Yi's mother, Concubine Mu, has been favored by the late emperor for many years in the palace.And if it wasn't for some Hua Yuebin and others who made obstacles, the first emperor would have already straightened Concubine Mu, and would not have left her seat vacant for many years.

Because of such remarks, many people also believed that the late emperor would probably pass on the throne to Xuanyuan Yi.

At that time, almost all the ministers in the court stood in these two teams, but Chu Tianxing, who was the Minister of the Ministry of War, never made a statement.Chu Tianxing's mind is very simple, whoever the previous emperor passes on to will be the new emperor.This kind of thing is not what they should worry about as courtiers.

One night about half a year later, news suddenly came out from the palace that the emperor had passed away!By the time Chu Tianxing changed into mourning clothes and entered the palace, all the ministers had already arrived.

After they knelt outside the hall in the middle of the night, Prince Xuanyuanze, his mother and concubine Li, and Hua Yuebin came out of the hall together.What Hua Yuebin held in his hand was the photo of the late emperor.

He read the posthumous photo in front of everyone.Crown Prince Xuanyuanze ascended the throne as the new lord immediately, Concubine Li became the Empress Dowager, and Hua Yuebin became the assistant minister.In addition, Concubine Mu's mother and son incited Chao Gang for their own selfish interests, and they were executed immediately!

Hearing such a result, those who supported Prince Yi were all in despair.They just wanted to save their own lives, and no one stood up to speak for the mother and son.

Chu Tianxing has only met Concubine Mu's mother and son for a few days, but he concludes that Concubine Mu herself has no desire to compete at all.She has been in the harem for many years, and she has collected thousands of pets, but she has never been spoiled and arrogant.So Chu Tianxing didn't believe that she was making waves.And Xuanyuan Yi was only a child of twelve or thirteen years old, how could he have such scheming?Besides, when the first emperor was alive, he loved the concubine and Xuanyuan Yi so much, how could he want to kill their mother and son?

"Master Prime Minister, the so-called instigators are not Concubine Mu and her son, are they? They are just being used by others!"

At that time, Chu Tianxing never thought that it was because of such a fair statement that his death was unclear.

In the end, Concubine Mu died, and it was said that Xuanyuan Ze killed it with her own hands.As for why Xuanyuan Yi didn't die, no one knew the reason.But a few days later, Chu Tianxing received the imperial decree, saying that he was the remnant party of the sixth prince, and was sentenced to death.

At this time, Chu Tianxing knew that all the people who had stood by Xuanyuan Yi had been executed.And because of that sentence, he was regarded as Xuanyuan Yi's person.

On the day of the execution, Chu Tianxing hugged his wife, crying, "Feng'er, I'm sorry, I can't be with you anymore. You must take good care of yourself!"

On the contrary, Yang Yuefeng herself was very calm, she said: "Master, you can go at ease, don't worry about me!"

Then when all the people in the mansion went to the execution ground to see Chu Tianxing off, Yang Yuefeng hanged himself to death.

That year Chu Ye was 15 years old.Regardless of other people's obstruction, she watched her father be beheaded with her own eyes. She said that she would record all this with her own eyes, and then she would definitely avenge what happened that day.At that time, she did not shed a single tear.But when she got home and found her mother who was cold all over, she finally couldn't bear it and passed out.

She was in a coma for three days, and she didn't wake up until Chu Xun, who missed all this because she was taken out to practice by her master, rushed back after hearing the news.At that time, the painful scene of the two siblings hugging each other made everyone present feel heartbroken.

Later, with the help of Chu Xun's master, the two sold off their belongings in the capital, and brought a few heartfelt servants back to Hongye Villa.

After hearing what Chu Xun had said, Xiaoyao Rufeng and Xiao Ruoyi were silent. After going through such a thing, even if they were comforted, they felt that they would not hurt their backs when they were standing and talking.

"What? Do you think we shouldn't take revenge?" Chu Xun asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Ruoyi answered subconsciously.She originally had a character of revenge. When she saw her parents die in front of her, didn't she also swear that she would take revenge?Isn't it precisely because of this that she embarked on the path of a killer?

"Then is it because we are so uncooperative?" Chu Xun asked.

"It's not wrong to take revenge! But what does this matter have to do with Xuanyuan Yi? He was only a child back then, so he didn't participate in this matter!" Xiao Ruoyi argued.
