Princess Chu listened to Yun Xiangye's words and asked in confusion, "Why not for the time being?"
Yun Xiangye slowly looked towards Her Royal Highness the Princess, "You probably don't know that Zhao Jing intends to seize the throne, right?"
Princess Chu's expression changed. She frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xie Zhixuan said, "Yuxiu, Xiangye isn't lying. We've been keeping this a secret from you because we're afraid you'll worry and get angry. Zhao Jing is indeed colluding with the Fu and Wei families to seize the throne."
Princess Chu was shocked and said, "How dare this rebellious son do such a big mistake? I will not let him do such nonsense. I will go back and persuade him to give up this idea."
The Princess of Chu hurried back to teach Zhao Jing a lesson.
Yun Xiangye said to the Princess of Chu, "Second Aunt, when you return, do not mention the matter of Zhu Ting. Also, the maids around you are probably Zhao Jing's people. Zhu Ting and Chen Qing encountered danger on their way to Chang'an and nearly died. Therefore, the maids who came with you must be detained in the Princess's residence for the time being."
When the Princess of Chu heard about someone who almost died, she asked, "What happened? How could he almost die?"
Chen Qing said, "Perhaps the Zhu family knew Zhu Ting's identity and knew he was coming to Chang'an, and that he was sent by Prince Ning. They couldn't stop him, so they planned to kill Zhu Ting and me on the way during a stormy day to silence us and prevent us from reaching Chang'an. Fortunately, my childhood friend rescued us, and we were able to reach Chang'an City."
When Princess Chu heard this, she couldn't help but feel distressed and hated herself even more. She almost couldn't even see her own child.
"Second aunt, now that Zhao Jing has ulterior motives, if he knew the truth, he would definitely kill to silence us. He has considerable power behind him, so it would be best if you didn't reveal Zhu Ting's identity for now."
Princess Chu nodded slightly: "I understand, Axuan, I'll trouble you to take care of Ting'er."
Xie Zhixuan smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, we're in the Princess's Mansion."
The Princess of Chu looked at Zhu Ting deeply, and then hurried back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. As soon as she entered the Palace, she went to look for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.
I saw Xu Jie still sitting in the room.
The King of Chu gave Xu Jie a look, and Xu Jie understood and said, "Sister."
The Princess of Chu approached the King of Chu and said, "Have you known for a long time that Jing'er was planning to seize the throne? How could you allow him to act so recklessly? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dying, the little grandson is also His Royal Highness's bloodline!"
The King of Chu said to his wife, "I only just learned about this. I tried to persuade Jing'er, but he wouldn't listen. I have no power in the court, and he's grown up now, so he doesn't listen to me. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry..."
"Alas!" The King of Chu sighed deeply. "Jing'er has made such a serious mistake. I'm afraid even her life is in danger. This child won't listen to advice. I have no other choice."
Princess Chu looked at Xu Jie and said, "You are not allowed to use the troops of the Zhenbei Marquisate to support Zhao Jing!"
Xu Jie sighed and said, "I definitely won't use the troops from the Zhenbei Marquisate to help Zhao Jing. However, I'm afraid Pei'er... well, I don't dare tell Pei'er's mother yet."
Princess Chu asked, "What happened to Pei'er?"
Xu Jie said, "Pei'er went to Lizhou to gather information. Han Jian, the governor of Lijiang, is the man behind Zhao Jing's plan to take over. The three cities in Lizhou have all fallen into the hands of the traitor Han Jian. It's extremely dangerous for Pei'er to go to Lizhou, and Zhao Jing is threatening me with Pei'er's life..."
Princess Chu said, "I'll go and persuade Jing'er. He can't be so foolish."
Although she knew today that Zhao Jing was not her biological son, she had raised him for twenty-four years after all, so she still treated Zhao Jing as her own son.
The Princess of Chu waited in the mansion for a long time before she saw Zhao Jing return.
The Princess of Chu looked at Zhao Jing. She didn't know if it was because they had been together for too long, but in fact, she could see some of their shadows in Zhao Jing. After all, he was her child whom she had raised for twenty-four years. They ate the same food and had the same habits, so they were more or less similar.
This is why the Princess of Chu had never doubted it before.
But Zhu Ting looked like the King of Chu at first glance, and that feeling of blood connection was something that Zhao Jing did not have.
When the Princess of Chu saw Zhao Jing return, she said, "Jing'er, I've heard some rumors outside. You must not do anything foolish. Abandon all your plans."
Zhao Jing said, "Mother, I can't give up. I can't watch our Zhao family's kingdom fall into the hands of the Gu family. I'm not willing to be suppressed by Gu Yan and live in mediocrity all my life. I'm also not willing to hand over my beloved woman to Gu Yan!"
"Zhao Jing! Don't be foolish." Princess Chu cried, "You can't seize the throne, you will never become emperor. Stop it. If you stop now, I will plead with your father and His Majesty the Queen, and I can still save your life."
The Princess of Chu couldn't help but hate the Zhu family. Zhao Jing also had the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his body, but after all, twenty-four years of feelings could erase the hatred she had for him.
The Princess of Chu just wants Zhao Jing to live well.
Zhao Jing frowned and said, "Mother, you are my biological mother. Even the Fu family supports me wholeheartedly. Why can't you? Why do you and father want to pour cold water on me? This kingdom, Zhao Jing, will take it!"
Princess Chu raised her hand and slapped Zhao Jing, "Jing'er, wake up!"
Zhao Jing's eyes were red. "I'm very clear-headed, mother. I love Xiangye, but Xiangye married Gu Yan. She could have married anyone, but she had to marry Gu Yan. I won't accept it!"
Princess Chu looked at Zhao Jing and said, "If you really loved her, she and Gu Yan are now deeply in love and their family of three is happy. You should also bless her. You don't love her at all. You are just unwilling to accept that she ended up marrying Gu Yan."
