"That's right."
Yao Jinzhong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have noticed that the Third Prince seems to be quite interested in a woman beside the King of the Western Regions."
"oh?"
"Yes, that woman wears a veil all day long, and her identity is unknown. The King of the Western Regions only calls her Miss. I have seen that the Third Prince has had private contact with her, but I have not been able to find out her identity."
The Emperor of Chu's eyes darkened slightly, and just as he was about to ask again, he heard the voice of a palace servant reporting from outside.
"Your Majesty, the princess is back."
Emperor Chu was startled at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Qingluan is back?"
"Quick! Let her in."
The palace door slowly opened, and a slender figure slowly walked in.
Chu Qingluan was still wearing plain clothes and had a beautiful face. Although she looked a little tired, her unparalleled charm was still unstoppable.
On the side, Yao Jinzhong widened his eyes when he saw her outfit.
this……
Why does this dress look so familiar?
By the way, he had seen him at the gate of the posthouse an hour ago.
It’s the mysterious woman following the King of the Western Regions!
Seeing the Emperor Chu, Chu Qingluan bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
The King of Chu quickly stepped forward and helped her up himself. His eyes paused slightly when they touched her dress, and then he said with concern: "I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back!"
Chu Qingluan raised her eyes and swept her gaze across the hall inconspicuously, just in time to catch Yao Jinzhong's astonished expression.
She smiled slightly, "Eunuch Yao, how are you?"
Yao Jinzhong quickly bowed and said, "This old servant pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Emperor Chu patted her hands and said, "Why did you come back so suddenly? I heard that it was Qi Che who kidnapped you. How was it? Did he bully you?"
Chu Qingluan shook her head, "No, she wanted to take me abducted to the border, but she met the Western Region King and his entourage on the way, so I escaped and followed the Western Region delegation back to the capital."
When the King of Chu heard the word "Qi Che", his face instantly darkened and he slapped the table next to him, causing the teacup to jump.
"Qi Che, this traitor, actually dared to kidnap my princess. He is so tired of living!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anger.
"I have already sent a message to Xie Yunqi. If you capture that guy, you don't need to report back, just execute him directly!"
Chu Qingluan felt a little warm in her heart, and said softly: "Father, there is no need to be so angry. I am fine."
The King of Chu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Did the King of the Western Regions say anything besides congratulating you on your birthday when you came to the capital this time?"
Chu Qingluan's eyes moved slightly, and she asked tentatively: "The King of the Western Regions respects my father very much, but... I always feel that he has another purpose for this trip."
Chu Qingluan stared at the face of the Emperor without blinking, "Father, I heard that 20 years ago, a noble lady from the Western Regions was sent here to marry a foreign prince. But is she the current Concubine Jiang?"
The candlelight in the hall flickered, shining on the faces of the father and daughter, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment.
Emperor Chu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand, "Everyone, step back!"
Yao Jinzhong immediately bowed and led the palace servants to go down, leaving the space for the father and daughter.
After everyone left, Emperor Chu slowly spoke: "You are quite perceptive."
Chu Qingluan lowered her eyebrows, worried in her heart: "Father, if the King of the Western Regions really comes for old love, I'm afraid he won't give up easily."
Emperor Chu sneered: "He wants someone, humph, wishful thinking!"
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chu suddenly started coughing violently again, and his face turned pale instantly.
I saw him covering his mouth with a handkerchief and his body was shaking slightly from coughing.
Chu Qingluan was startled and hurried to his side, patting his back gently.
"Father! Why is your cough so severe?"
The King of Chu waved his hands, suppressed his cough, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay! I just caught a cold, I will be fine in a while... cough cough..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he started coughing violently again.
This time, he failed to suppress the fishy and sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Father!"
"Come quickly, call the imperial physician!"
Chu Qingluan was shocked and hurriedly gave orders outside the door, and helped Emperor Chu to lie down on the soft couch nearby.
Just as she had placed the person on the couch, a report came from the eunuch outside the palace: "Your Majesty, King Amur of the Western Regions wants to see you, saying... he has brought a doctor who is good at treating coughs!"
Chu Qingluan's heart tightened.
Amur suddenly asked for a meeting at this time and brought a doctor with him.
Is it a coincidence?
Or was it premeditated?
She looked back at the weak Emperor Chu lying on the couch and gritted her teeth, "Tell him to wait outside and tell him that his father is resting."
"Ahem...let them...come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Emperor Chu giving orders to the eunuch.
Chu Qingluan made a prompt decision.
"Xuan!"
The palace door opened, and Amur strode in, followed by a woman covered with a veil. She had a graceful figure and a pair of eyes as bright as the crescent moon. The silver bell on her wrist rang crisply as she walked.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Chu."
Amur bowed and glanced at the person on the sickbed. He pretended to be surprised and said, "I heard earlier that your majesty was ill, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Then, he glanced around and quickly spotted Chu Qingluan standing nearby.
When they saw her stunning face, Amur and Yao Jinzhong were both stunned.
"you--"
"Zhaoyang greets the King of the Western Regions." Chu Qingluan took the initiative to bow to him without deliberately hiding her voice.
Amu suddenly realized what was going on, and his handsome face was full of surprise.
