"Not here? Where did you go?" Chu Yan said angrily.
"I don't know! No one in the general's mansion knows either. They only said that after the court session today, General Mo said he wanted to talk to his sons, and then they went into the study. They didn't come out until I went to summon them. I took people in to check, but there was no one in the study!" Wang Zhi looked anxious.
"Father!" Chu Younan stood up and saluted, saying seriously, "Perhaps Mo Gai Shi learned that the Gaoliu people were defeated in the battle of Fengyuan, so he fled."
Chu Yan's eyes were unusually sinister, and he looked out the window. The green trees were getting thicker, and the heat was getting longer, but his heart was chilled. He originally thought that Mo Gai Shi was just being spoiled, but he didn't expect that he actually had a rebellious heart! After a long time, he slowly said: "Mo Gai Shi is collaborating with the enemy and treason, the evidence is conclusive, confiscate his property! Kill all nine clans! All the female relatives will be sold!"
This day, it's early.
Chu Younan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he has divorced Mo Qingying in this life.
There were more than a hundred people in the Mo family, and the search took five days and five nights. Perhaps Mo Gaishi left in a hurry, so most of his property was still there. It took a whole day to move it from the Mo family's home to the national treasury.
As for the women in his family, Mo Gaishi did not take any of them away; they were all sold off.
Ever since Chu Younan returned from Fengyuan, people have been quietly spreading the word that Prince Su is becoming more and more popular, and Prince Mu, the eldest son, has married the unvirtuous Princess Gaoliu, so Prince Su is almost certain to be the crown prince.
Even the court officials began to change their attitude, and those who used to revolve around King Mu were now half gone.
Chu Youchen wanted to bite his teeth to pieces. He had originally thought that he would wait until the baby in Mo Qinglian's belly was born, so that the emperor could pay attention to him again. But when the news of the Mo family's treason came out, he could no longer sit still.
Tonight is the fifteenth night. He has two wives, and Yaruo is pregnant, so he went to Mo Qinglian's room. After all, she has prepared a young and beautiful Biyu for him, but Yaruo never lets him touch the maid beside her.
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the prince must go to the wife's room. In this way, doesn't it seem that Yaruo is still a concubine? She was almost angry to death, and immediately asked someone to go and call him, saying that she was not feeling well.
But Chu Youchen didn't want to see her at all. How could sitting with her until dawn compare to spending a night with Biyu, who obeyed his every word? Chu Youchen was just galloping on his horse, ready to soar into the sky, when he heard Yaruo send someone to say that if he didn't go, she would return to Hefu immediately.
My ancestor! She is pregnant too! If he goes back to He Mansion and makes a fuss all night, won’t his precious son die in that woman’s belly?
Chu Youchen reluctantly got up and went to Yaruo's room, where he saw her calling two servants to massage her legs. The two of them had agreed that no man was allowed to get close to Yaruo in the palace, and Chu Youchen would not go to the He Mansion, no matter what she did in the He Mansion.
He was about to explode with anger, but Yaruo was still caressing her belly leisurely, and said unscrupulously: "Prince, this child didn't listen to you today and was very noisy. My waist is sore and my legs are swollen. I can't wait for you, so I have to find someone to help me relieve it."
Chu Youchen was speechless. He kicked the two servants out and then rested at Yaruo's place.
But in the middle of the night, Biyu suddenly came running to call him, saying that Mo Qinglian was about to give birth and had a severe stomachache.
"How could it be such a coincidence? It's obvious that she wants you to pass by!" Yaruo hooked her arms around his neck tightly, looking displeased.
Chu Youchen tried to get up, "She's almost due, I'll go check on her."
"Even if I want to give birth, there are midwives and doctors in the palace, so why do I have to trouble you?!" Yaruo narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her lips, "I am pregnant, but today, let the prince try something new!"
Chu Youchen thought it made sense. He was not a court doctor, and he would just stand there doing nothing. It would be better...
When Biyu called out for the second time, Chu Youchen was praising Yaruo for her eloquence. Even if he became a god at this time, he would not change.
When Biyu came for the third time, she was already crying, saying that she had been holding the baby for too long and the baby was stillborn.
Chu Youchen finally woke up from his dream. His eldest son was gone!
"Hurry! I'll go and take a look right away!" Chu Youchen panicked.
But Yaruo sneered, "Your Highness, you haven't forgotten, have you? The Mo family colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and all nine clans were executed. You are so close to her, aren't you afraid that the emperor will have other thoughts?"
It seems to be true! Chu Youchen sat back down.
Yaruo continued, "Although I am from Gaoliu, I have lost contact with my mother's family since I married far away. But she is different. It seems that someone from her mother's family came to visit her last month. Think about it, how can His Majesty be willing to see you when she is the daughter of a traitor as the princess?"
Hmm! That makes sense! Chu Youchen lay down again.
But he thought about it and still felt that it was inappropriate. He should completely draw a line between himself and Mo Qinglian! "Come here! Princess Lian failed to protect the emperor's grandson, causing the emperor's grandson to die in the womb. Give her a divorce letter! This king is kind and will not sell her out. Let her be responsible for sweeping the yard!"
After Chu Youchen finished speaking, Yaruo's lips curved up. She was the eldest princess of Gaoliu, why should she be a concubine? Not even equal! Mo Qinglian never expected that after just experiencing the pain of losing her son, Chu Youchen would immediately stab her. It was all her fault, why did she covet this eldest daughter-in-law of the emperor? A while ago, she was still laughing at Mo Qingying being divorced, but now she is even more miserable.
Soon, people all over the city were gossiping about the private lives of King Mu's family.
But Su Bei didn't have the mood.
Song Zhu had taken the medicine Xiao Han brought back and had woken up. Although her face was still yellow, she looked healthy. This meant that she would soon marry Ling Ziyou.
I don't know if that expert's prediction is accurate or not. Is Ling Xiao's perfect match really Song Zhu? And Mu Hui doesn't know about this yet.
Mu Hui sat in the private room of Su Bei's store. She didn't speak for a long time. When she spoke, she blushed. "Abei, what does the emperor think about my third brother marrying you?"
"Don't mention it. I have to deal with the ghost soldiers passing through the border, and I have to cure the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Jiang, and..." Su Bei paused and skipped the second question, "It's simply a matter of going through five levels and killing six generals! You said that it's not so difficult for those young ladies to marry princes. Who made me... uh... born as a maid!"
Mu Hui felt her scalp tingling. If Su Bei was so outstanding and it was so difficult, what about Ling Ziyou, an ordinary person? Would it be more demanding to become a royal consort?
"Princess? Princess!" Su Bei waved his hand in front of her, "Do you have someone you like? Tell me, I'll help you with some advice!"
Mu Hui quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I'm fine being alone, I don't want to get married!"
Su Bei: Oh! Jiang Ruwei still doesn’t know how to solve this problem, so Mu Hui’s problem is probably even more difficult.
Fortunately, the current Princess Mu is a pig-like opponent.
Yaruo naturally became the only princess of Prince Mu, but she did not know how to restrain herself and became even more unbridled. Chu Youchen thought she was only three months pregnant, but he did not know that she was actually five months pregnant. She was strolling on the street and happened to see Ling Ziyou packing up at the door of a store, and her evil intentions became aroused again.
"Go! Tie him up and take him to He Mansion for me!" A wicked smile appeared in Yaruo's eyes.
