After the Ninth Prince was injured, the Emperor was furious. Although he guessed that it was the Second Prince who did it, he did not touch him. Not only did he take the Wang family into consideration, but he also wanted to strike a balance, letting the Second Prince and the Third Prince continue to fight, and the Wang family and the Sun family continue to fight. Only in this way can he have enough time to save the Ninth Prince, and at the same time let Concubine Shan give birth to a son, or the Ninth Prince give birth to a son, and continue to cultivate the power of the Chu family...
If God really didn't let his wish come true, he could only support the seventh prince. Those two women killed his most beloved son, and he would not pass the throne to their sons. The emperor considered for two days, took away Chu Guangche's position as the commander of the imperial guards, and conferred him a nominal title of General of the State, and let him marry Rong Zhao. It seemed that Chu Guangche was completely away from the center of power, but in fact he was still working for the emperor in secret, and the emperor began to support Chu Guangkai who was far away at the border.
In order to prevent Shan Jieyu from being killed, she was also asked to go to Huang'en Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to become a nun, saying that it was to pray for the Ninth Prince...
These plots, which only exist in storybooks, have taken his father eleven years to perform, and he wonders how many more years they will be performed. Thinking of the Ninth Prince who is almost recovered, his father's suffering should be over soon, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Lingxuan's eyes turned red. He said, "Thinking of my father, I feel very lucky. I met the woman I love most, and I got to marry you as I wished. I will live a peaceful life with you in the countryside in the future." After that, he took Chen Afu's hand and kissed him on the mouth.
Chen Afu said quietly, "When my father-in-law and mother-in-law were young, it was just like this. They met, fell in love, and got married. They also had two children and spent fifteen years of peaceful life together. But later, my father-in-law wanted to be a loyal subject, so he wronged himself, and also wronged his wife and children."
Chu Lingxuan continued to kiss Chen Afu's hand and said, "It will be soon. Once the Second Prince and his party fall, my father will be able to bring my mother back."
Chen Ahfu shook his head and said, "Although I know that my father-in-law is helpless and I sympathize with him. But if I were the mother-in-law, I would not come back to live with him without any grudges. He is a good minister, but not a good husband. His behavior is understandable, but not forgivable. If I were the mother-in-law, I would rather continue to live in Yingxue Temple than return to the man who made me heartbroken for more than ten years, not to mention that this man has been used by others for more than ten years."
When Chu Lingxuan heard the last sentence, his face turned red all the way to his ears. He said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by giving it to someone else? That's really ugly. He's my father, you're not allowed to say that."
Chen Ahfu said, "The words are ugly but the logic is sound. So remember, if you also have this idea, be a good subject first and then come back to be a good husband, even if you have no choice, I will not forgive you. I will hide far away and let you never find me."
After saying that, she pulled her hand back from his.
Ever since Chu Lingxuan knew the real purpose of Chu Guangche marrying Princess Rongzhao, he had been dreaming that the Ninth or Eleventh Prince would become the Crown Prince and inherit the throne, and then his father would bring his mother back home to reunite the family. But after hearing what Chen Afu said and looking at his empty hands, he became uncertain again. Can his mother forgive his father and reunite?
Seeing Chu Lingxuan frowning and thinking about something, Chen Afu smiled and wiped his brow and said, "Okay, these things are between father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's useless for us to say anything. Mother-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and she may be willing to forgive father-in-law."
The thinking circuits of ancient women are different from those of modern people. For example, Jiang Shi took the initiative to give Chen Shiying a concubine in order to win over Chen Shiying. But Lord Chu was a loyal minister and had no choice. Ancient women would not only forgive him, but also perhaps regard him as a hero, right?
Chu Lingxuan sighed and said, "My mother looks gentle, but in fact she has a very stubborn temper and is very principled in dealing with some things. I remember when I was a child, my mother was pregnant with my sister, my father was drunk, and a bold girl climbed into my father's bed... My mother didn't say anything, she just locked herself in the room and cried all night, and my father stood outside the door all night to comfort my mother. It was only when the servants couldn't stand it and invited my grandmother to come, that my mother opened the door. After that, my father never touched alcohol again except for a small amount of wine at the imperial banquet, until that incident happened... My father and mother have been very loving since they got married, and they are a couple that all women envy. It was also because of this that Rong Zhao, who was still young, spoke wildly and said such shameless words as "I will not marry anyone other than the eldest son of the Chu family"..."
The beautiful and gentle Lechen still has some temper.
And that Lord Chu, he seems to be very innocent.
Chen Ahfu gossiped, "Where's that girl who climbed onto the bed?"
"What else can I do? I was sold out by my father." Chu Lingxuan replied.
He is indeed a good man who values friendship and loyalty. However, in order to be a loyal subject, he was pushed by Rong Zhao, the sow, and was "forced to push".
Thinking of the cold Lord Chu, I wonder how he coaxed his wife. Chen Ahfu asked curiously, "Your father coaxed your mother all night, what did he say?"
Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "I was still young at that time. I only remember my father repeatedly saying, 'Don't cry, Yun'er. I will feel bad if you cry and hurt yourself.' Later, I was taken away by my wet nurse."
After hearing Lord Chu say this, Chen Afu felt that no matter what happened, Lechen should forgive him.
As the two were talking, a servant from Anrong Hall came to report that Mrs. Chu San had returned and asked them to come over.
The two went to Anrong Hall, and the old marquis was already there.
Mrs. Chu San smiled and asked Chen Afu, "Are you okay?"
Chen Ahfu shook his head and asked, "Where's the second sister? Is she hurt?"
When Chu Zhen was mentioned, Mrs. Chu's face darkened and she cursed, "That silly girl is as brainless as her mother." She then said, "Don't worry, that dish is a cold dish, it just stained Chu's clothes."
Chu Lingxuan said with a gloomy face, "Is this another incident caused by Rong Zhao? Damn it!"
Madam Chu San laughed and said, "This time it wasn't Rong Zhao, it was me. I asked someone to do it. Rong Zhao is so abominable, I don't know what trouble she will cause in the afternoon. I asked someone to take the initiative, so that you can leave earlier and help her..."
It turned out that when the maid was serving the dish, one of the maids under Madam Chu San flicked a small stone in her hand and hit the maid's arm, causing the plate in the maid's hand to tilt towards Chu Zhen.
Chu Lingxuan also sent two maids to follow Chen Afu, but they were not qualified to enter Zhaoyang Hall and were blocked outside. Chen Afu only brought Hong Fei in. No one of Mrs. Chu's servants dared to stop them, so two maids stood behind Chen Afu to protect her at any time.
