Hua Cai was silent for a while, and after organizing her words, she said slowly:
"About three or four years ago, the current emperor arranged a marriage for Your Highness, marrying the daughter of the former Minister Su as a concubine. At that time, Your Highness had just returned from the Southern Barbarians and accepted this marriage, which was already on the chopping block."
"On their wedding night, the concubine poisoned the couple's wedding wine. After drinking it, His Highness saw that the concubine had gone mad and realized something was wrong, but it was too late."
Having said that, Hua Cai paused and looked at Chu Yanyan a few times, seeing that there was no expression on the opposite face.
But she was still a little worried, and whispered to Chu Yanyan: "The following matter is only known to us insiders, and outsiders don't know."
Ahem, although the rumor is almost close to the truth.
"Well, go on." Chu Yanyan understood and said that he knew.
Hua Cai said, "The drug took effect very quickly. After His Highness drank it, the concubine went mad. His Highness also felt his inner strength dissipating and realized something was wrong. In anger, he had the concubine thrown into the side courtyard to fend for herself. Within a few days of being assigned to live there, the concubine hanged herself."
"Even after the concubine died, His Highness didn't let Minister Su's family off. After failing to find the person behind the incident, he immediately executed all of Su's clan. Those who should be confiscated were confiscated, and those who should be sold were sold. Ever since that incident, His Highness's temper has become increasingly violent. At first, it was only every two or three days, but as time went on, it became a daily occurrence, and he could have died at any time because of it."
Hua Cai's face grew heavy as she spoke. She looked at Chu Yanyan, who was deep in thought. "It's just that since you've been with His Highness, His Highness's health has improved. Don't worry, I, Hua Cai, am here, and I won't let anyone hurt you in the slightest."
After Chu Yanyan learned some things, he asked Hua Cai to go out as he wanted to rest.
After the person left, Chu Yanyan thought about the plot provided by this character, not to mention whether it was subjective.
Su Ranyan's medicine is in the hands of that legitimate daughter. Isn't this killing someone with a borrowed knife?
The key is how Su Ranyan can convince the legitimate daughter to do something that will implicate the entire family and concern their physical, mental and life.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. If Su Ranyan entered the body of that legitimate daughter, manipulated all this, and left after the task was accomplished, it would cause the original legitimate daughter to go crazy.
It's not impossible.
The information provided by the system is that Su Ranyan needs certain conditions to enter someone else's body, but what exactly is that medium?
Chu Yanyan was puzzled.
A low humming sound came from another place.
"Mr. Lu, can you please let me go? I only want to serve Your Highness." A soft young boy's voice came.
His words made Lu Yu even more angry. He slapped the boy's shoulder viciously and said, "Want to serve His Highness? Do you think he would dare to take your body?"
"Woo woo."
Cheng Xi was saddened by Lu Yu's words. He bit his lip and replied pitifully: "No... well"
"No, so just serve me well. Although I am not as rich as the prince, I can support you." Lu Yu said, biting the boy's shoulder.
"Oh, Ayu Ayu, stop biting, it hurts." The young man's low and painful voice came.
When Lu Yu saw the mark of "slave" on the boy's shoulder, his eyes turned red and he bit his tongue even harder. He said angrily, "Were you in a relationship with someone else before you met me?"
Tears welled up in Cheng Xi's eyes: "No...no."
His denial made Lu Yu even angrier, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Little liar."
The sound of wind and snow outside drowned out the sounds inside the house.
After a few days of preparation, the palace was decorated with lights and red lanterns, and red paper was pasted on the walls, creating a festive atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve in this dimension, a dinner party will be held in the palace, and all the ministers and envoys from small countries that are vassal states of his country will be invited to attend the banquet.
Feng Qingwu has been busy these days dealing with these envoys, finding out their background, and taking down those who are disobedient next year.
On the day before New Year's Eve, Feng Qingwu discussed with Chu Yanyan in bed and found that his violent temper was gone, and his long-lost inner strength was slowly returning.
We'll definitely meet at the dinner anyway.
Feng Qingwu was merciful and allowed Chu Yanyan to go back in the morning.
After n days, Chu Yanyan was finally able to step out of the East Palace.
The people who came to pick him up were still the same people as before, except that this time his elder brother was also there.
"Brother." Chu Yanyan called out.
"Little brother." Big Brother Chu Feng, wearing a blue cloak, was about to walk up to hug his younger brother.
There was a coughing sound coming from the side.
Only then did Chu Feng notice Feng Qingwu standing next to Chu Yanyan.
He held back the tears that were about to fall and hurriedly bowed to Feng Qingwu: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yeah." Feng Qingwu responded.
Chu Yanyan held the warm hand warmer and turned to look at Feng Qingwu. His eyes flashed and he said respectfully, "Your Highness, I will leave first."
"Well, I will miss you." Feng Qingwu said with a smile on his face.
Chu Yanyan's face turned even redder from the cold. Worried that Feng Qingwu would say something bad, he hurried down, using his free hand to pull Chu Feng's sleeve: "Brother, let's go."
"Goodbye." Chu Feng said, and hurried away, still shocked by Feng Qingwu's words. Why would the prince say such words to his younger brother? Could the rumors be true?
Watching the carriage go farther and farther away, Feng Qingwu withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into his mansion.
