Chapter 108: Blocking Their Way
This is to block their way and not let them delay the reward for the Duke's wife.
Just this moment.
Chu Jiuning's face completely darkened.
"Miss Chu."
Shen Liuguang's voice sounded from not far behind. Chu Jiuning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Liuguang waved and led them to a carriage.
Take out two sets of clothes.
"You and the old man change quickly, and let's go into the palace."
Said.
Shen Liuguang helped the old man onto the carriage. Chu Jiuning got on his own carriage, changed into the eunuch's uniform as quickly as possible, and then followed behind Shen Liuguang.
The guards naturally knew who was following them, but pretended not to see them, so the group entered the palace smoothly.
And at the same time.
A group of eunuchs also marched out of the palace carrying the imperial edict and rewards.
The two teams passed each other.
Chu Jiuning's eyes almost cracked. This should be the eunuch who went to the Song Mansion to announce the imperial decree.
She released the flare that Eunuch Chen had given her, and about half a minute later, she saw Eunuch Chen in a secluded corner of the Imperial Garden.
"Godmother, why are you in such a hurry?"
Chu Jiuning grabbed his wrist and said anxiously.
"A team of eunuchs carrying the imperial edict has left the palace. Please go and stop them. We can't let the imperial edict fall into the Song Mansion."
"good."
A vicious look flashed in Eunuch Chen's eyes, and he turned around and chased after him.
Shen Liuguang led Chu Jiuning and his group walking quickly inside the dark red palace wall. Their steps were fast, but the palace alleys were very deep, as if there was no end, which made people feel anxious.
Two old eunuchs were standing quietly at the corner. When they saw them, they raised their hands to stop them.
There are many eunuchs hiding around, so it is impossible to break in by force.
Sweat broke out on Shen Liuguang's forehead, and he clenched the hidden weapon tightly in his hand.
Chu Jiuning stepped forward.
Two jade gourds worth one hundred thousand taels were placed in their palms.
These two old eunuchs are the emperor's men.
Waiting here is to stop them.
Looking at the good stuff in their hands, the two old eunuchs struggled fiercely in their eyes, then silently stepped aside and looked away.
Heaven is our witness.
It’s not that they don’t stop.
Really.
She gave too much.
soon.
They met up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He just came out of the Ministry of Justice.
When the prince saw Chu Jiuning in eunuch's clothes, a charming look flashed in his eyes.
The old man and Chu Jiuning bowed and said respectfully.
"Your Highness, shall we talk while we walk?"
"Can."
The prince nodded and then led them to the emperor's Longzhang Palace.
The old man stepped forward and asked him softly.
"Your Highness, when you were investigating the Song family, did you lose the clue after reaching Yingzhou?"
"That's right."
People just disappeared without a trace.
The old man nodded.
"Your Highness, you will never guess what earth-shattering deeds the Song father and son have done."
The prince and Chu Jiuning looked at each other. What earth-shattering things could these two useless guys do?
"Yingzhou is a trading city, where merchants from all over the world gather and a hundred flowers bloom. The princess of Linghao Kingdom visited Yingzhou and met the Duke of Song and his son. They then met the princess who went by the alias of October. The naive Fifth Princess thought they were good people and followed them on their journey. But guess what happened in the end?"
Everyone looked at the old man, only to see that he was furious and speaking with gritted teeth.
"Duke Song drugged the Fifth Princess and made her feel ill. When she woke up, she was terrified and desperate, so she went to find Song Jinhuai. But she was tricked into having sex with him again..."
"What?"
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but look surprised.
What are you talking about?
"After discovering their actions, these two shameless people decided to go all out and kept the Fifth Princess in a treasury until she became pregnant. Only then did they let down their guard. Later, the Fifth Princess escaped. Ling Haoguo didn't dare to publicize this matter, but they have been secretly monitoring the Duke of Song's Mansion, demanding huge compensation from them, and at the same time acting as Ling Haoguo's accomplice."
"Is the baby born?"
Chu Jiuning went straight to the point.
"No, the baby was not saved. The Fifth Princess's health was seriously damaged. I heard she was bleeding profusely and the imperial physician was at a loss."
Chu Jiuning frowned.
The fifth princess of Linghao Kingdom was the favorite daughter of the emperor and empress. She started choosing a husband when she was ten years old and got engaged when she was thirteen. The fifth princess was fifteen years old when the accident happened. She had planned to go back and get married after traveling.
Now, because of the Song father and son, not only is it difficult for him to survive, let alone get married!
When we arrived at the gate of Longzhang Palace, the guards came out and stopped us from entering.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just glanced at him indifferently, and the guards' legs went weak and they rushed in.
At that time.
The emperor's eyes were full of joy. These old guys were stopping him from returning his beloved and from letting his son recognize his ancestors.
He insisted on coming back.
The imperial edict had already left the palace, and by the time they discovered it, it was too late to stop it.
"Father."
The prince saluted with a cold face, and the emperor said "en". When he raised his eyes, he saw that Old Master Chu and Chu Jiuning had been treated like eunuchs. The emperor was immediately angry and was about to lose his temper when he pointed at him, and the prince said in a deep voice.
"Father, why don't you listen to what they say."
Old Master Chu stepped forward, bowed, and told the emperor everything.
The emperor's face darkened, and after a while he spoke in a cold voice.
"This is easy. I will restore Jin Huai's status as His Royal Highness and immediately go to Linghao Country to ask for marriage. I will marry the Fifth Princess and this matter will be concealed."
"Father."
The prince looked at the emperor with disappointment in his eyes.
"Right now, it's not a question of whether we are willing to marry or not. The other party regards this as a great humiliation. I'm afraid war between the two countries is only a matter of time."
"If a war breaks out, the Crown Prince will personally lead the army. Our Great Dynasty has been quite strong in recent years, so we should be able to fight."
The emperor continued to speak calmly and did not take the matter to heart. In his mind, the most important thing at the moment was to bring Bai Yueguang and his son into the palace.
Chu Jiuning was so angry when she heard the emperor's words that it was none of her business that she wanted to slap him twice.
I've seen biased ones.
But I've never seen such bias.
All the troubles were caused by the Duke's wife and her son, but all the responsibilities were borne by the Crown Prince and himself.
"They truly love the Fifth Princess, which is why they caused such a thing. As long as it can be properly resolved and everyone can reach an agreement, it will be fine. After marrying her, give her a child to live on, and the rest is up to her."
Old Master Chu frowned, thinking that the Great Dynasty had always been weak, and the emperor was probably responsible.
If one day.
It would be better for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible.
The emperor suddenly looked at Chu Jiuning.
"If it weren't for this incident, you wouldn't be marrying into the Song Mansion, Chu Jiuning, you should know what to do."
Now that you've entered, you should play your role. It's inappropriate to make a lot of noise.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do."
Chu Jiuning stood up and saluted the emperor with a serious look. If she was asked to swallow all the pain and spit out all the money, that would be impossible.
"How could I not know?"
The emperor was furious.
"Didn't you already know why they wanted to marry you? Now that you know the reason, you should handle this matter for him."
Chu Jiuning's eyes were cold.
so.
When you need money, go to her; when you need help, go to the prince. She and the prince are the stepping stones for Song Jinhuai and his mother.
"Your Majesty, that doesn't make sense."
Chu Jiuning shook her head to refuse. The emperor looked at Chu Jiuning's face with a cold gaze.
"But since you've already married into the Song Mansion, you should help them solve some of the necessary problems with money and effort. This will improve your status and allow you to gain a firm foothold in the Song Mansion. This is what a smart woman does."
"Father."
The prince interrupted the emperor, and his anger grew stronger.
The emperor saw him like this.
Frown.
His face looked angry.
The prince had a slender figure, and in the bright light, he cast a long shadow, exuding an imposing aura.
"In this world, it's not right to harm someone and expect the victim to be grateful. If that's the case, I've taken your throne and told you I'm being considerate and sharing your worries. Do you agree?"
