Chapter 88 Bloody Past
Chu Wuxun's words were actually a bit abrupt.
After all... eating and presenting treasures don't seem to have anything to do with each other.
The naive Jiang Yuanbo and Xie Yanqing thought that Chu Wuxun said this mainly because he wanted to bring a gift to the princess and make her happy.
but……
Jiang Yuehua frowned silently.
Something from overseas?
His Royal Highness Prince Jing suddenly mentioned this, and I always felt that there was something else behind it.
Chu Jiayi's eyes, on the other hand, suddenly lit up.
Because she had been weak since childhood and could not leave the palace, and she had no playmates of the same age, Chu Jiayi always felt lonely...and seeing this, Chu Wuxun would often give her some small gifts from outside.
Even if Chu Wuxeng was fighting outside, if he saw anything interesting, he would have someone send it back to Chu Jiayi.
There are precious jewellery, gemstones and jade, dried flowers made from wildflowers on the roadside, and even small grasshoppers woven from straw...
Every time Chu Jiayi received a gift from Chu Wuxian, she would be happy for several days.
So Chu Jiayi didn't find it strange at all when Chu Wuxun said he would bring her a gift.
only……
Foreign things?
That……
"Okay, thank you, Brother King Jing! I knew you would not forget me if you had anything good."
"By the way, Yaoyao, Sister Yuehua, why don't you all come and take a look when the time comes! You might find something good there."
"I don't know what those foreign things are like, and whether there are any fun or delicious foods."
"It would be great if we could find something useful for our Great Chu."
Chu Jiayi spoke casually.
But when Jiang Yuehua heard it, she understood instantly...
Yes, foreign things... If Yaoyao is given the opportunity, can she secretly put those seeds in there and pretend that they came from foreign countries and flowed into Da Chu?
In this way, people will not be suspicious, and the seeds can pass through naturally.
Anyway, His Majesty and His Majesty can hear Yaoyao's thoughts and have long known how important those seeds are... As long as Yaoyao can take them out, His Majesty and His Majesty will definitely find a way to make everything reasonable and vigorously cultivate these new seeds.
In just a few years... these seeds will surely spread throughout Da Chu.
Jiang Yuehua and Chu Jiayi looked at each other and saw a glimmer of light in each other's eyes.
only……
The two excited people turned to look at Jiang Yueyao...
Jiang Yueyao: “Ahhhhhhhh…muamuamua…it smells so good!”
It seems like she didn't hear anything just now.
Just ate it.
But it doesn’t matter…
Little fairy, you are already on board, you can't escape!!!
…
…
"Hiccup~~"
Jiang Yueyao left the palace very full.
Today's trip...although a bit tiring, it was indeed very rewarding.
Jiang Yueyao had a bellyful of delicious food, while Jiang Yuanbo and Xie Yanqing received assignments at the camp outside the capital.
Even Jiang Yuehua received a box of gold needles from the little princess.
"Speaking of which, why do I feel that the atmosphere in the palace is a bit strange? Usually, the young palace maids would smile when they saw me... me, but today, even the people from Kunning Palace lowered their heads and dared not speak when they saw us... Did something happen in the palace?"
After leaving the palace, Jiang Yueyao finally realized something was wrong.
Jiang Yuehua supported the forehead...
My sister is good in every way except that she can be a little slow sometimes.
"You just discovered..."
Jiang Yuehua discovered something was wrong as soon as she entered the palace.
Fortunately, I asked Chu Jiayi and knew it was nothing serious, so I didn't rush to remind Jiang Yueyao, but...
Now it seems that I still need to give my sister some advice.
"Actually, this matter is related to the Royal Concubine."
"Yesterday, the Imperial Concubine and her brother, Marquis Cheng'an, introduced the so-called old immortal from Changsheng Temple to Your Majesty... They originally wanted to win credit for Your Majesty, but... Your Majesty immediately recognized that the so-called old immortal was a fraud. Not only did he kill the old immortal directly, he also asked His Royal Highness Prince Jing to investigate Changsheng Temple."
"Oh, so that's how it is... No wonder Shuai, cough, no wonder His Royal Highness Prince Jing showed up at Changsheng Temple. It turns out that His Majesty asked him to investigate."
[Hey, don’t say that, really don’t say that…]
[The handsome old man has a pretty good eye. He wasn't frightened by the so-called immortality.]
[This level of determination is rare among all the emperors in history.]
[He is indeed my favorite handsome guy! 】
[And the handsome guy's mobility is also very good, he killed him that night]
[On par with this fairy]
Jiang Yuehua listened to her sister's thoughts and smiled slightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and he will not be deceived."
Jiang Yueyao paid some attention to the handsome old man, but not much.
She would rather be a fun person.
"Sister, aren't the Imperial Concubine and her brother in trouble? Hahaha, they actually brought an old liar to deceive Your Majesty... They are simply old and tired of living! No wonder the atmosphere in the palace is so bad, everyone is probably afraid of being implicated by the Imperial Concubine."
Jiang Yuehua nodded and shook her head.
"It is true that the Concubine's actions are not advisable, but she does not really want to deceive Your Majesty."
"So, although Your Majesty punished the old immortal and Marquis Cheng'an, He only gave the Royal Concubine a minor punishment."
Jiang Yueyao tilted her head, a little confused.
"Why?"
"Sister, I feel like the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress is pretty good, but the Imperial Concubine... seems to have a brain..."
Jiang Yueyao pointed at her temples and curled her lips.
After experiencing the last incident with the little pill, Jiang Yueyao finally figured it out.
The Royal Concubine is obviously not in a good mind.
Her palace fighting skills are not even as good as Jiang Yueyao's.
Such a person is actually still alive today.
It's incredible!
Jiang Yuehua smiled.
"That's exactly what I want to remind you of."
"Although sometimes, Your Majesty..."
Jiang Yuehua imitated Jiang Yueyao's movements and stretched out her fingers to shake them at her temples.
"But His Majesty has her in his heart. Even though his relationship with the Imperial Concubine is not as close as that with the Empress, he still treats her as a relative and protects her under his wings. Moreover, the Imperial Concubine has several children... So Yaoyao, you must not be disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine in the future in the palace."
[Okay, it seems the old handsome guy is still nostalgic]
[Although you are a bit of a scumbag, this fairy can’t control the current trend...]
[But it's still very strange. Did the imperial concubine save the old emperor's life? Why did the old emperor pamper her so much?]
Jiang Yueyao asked subconsciously.
Jiang Yuehua opened her mouth and told the past in detail.
"When your majesty received the imperial edict from the late emperor, although you had a legitimate reason, you were weak... At that time, it was your father who was the first among the military nobles to fight and support your majesty... He was also the one who charged to the front in that crucial battle..."
"You know that in that battle, your father, your eldest brother, your second brother, your third brother, and even your eldest sister-in-law...all died in that battle. It was because of their desperate actions that Your Majesty won that battle."
"Today, only the Concubine and the Marquis of Cheng'an are left in her family... The Concubine's road to wealth and status was built with the blood of her entire family. How could Your Majesty let her down?"
"Besides... Her Royal Highness once told me that in these years in the palace, although the Royal Concubine always had a bad temper and did some ridiculous things... but she never really did anything to the Queen and her children."
"On the contrary... when the Empress gave birth to the Seventh Prince, the situation was critical... Your Majesty was restrained, and it was the Concubine's second and third sisters-in-law who led the first people to rush to the rescue. They died in battle to protect the Empress and the people of the city."
"It is for them that the Empress will protect the Concubine for the rest of her life."
