Chapter 28 Decided not to endure anymore
Yu Jinyi was also worried about Chu Chengyi's injury, so she took a look.
But, where were the injuries on the face in front of her?
Sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, moist lips, and even the stubble on his face is full of vitality...
As Yu Jinyi watched, her face turned red and she secretly swallowed her saliva.
"Your Highness, there is no injury on your face."
Then why did he cover his face when he returned to the palace yesterday? It made Shu'er dislike him.
"Jinyi, take a closer look. It's not that there's no damage. It's that it's healed."
Chu Chengyi touched the injured spot on his cheek and still found a shallow mark. This wound was caused by the assassin during the assassination in Jingzhou.
Knowing that he was the heir apparent, those people still insulted him. The ambitions of the people behind them were obvious.
"Yes, it has healed. You can't tell unless you look carefully."
Yu Jinyi moved closer and looked again carefully, and indeed saw two long, thin, pink wounds.
This pink and tender texture is obviously new flesh that has just grown.
"This wound has been there for some time, sometimes getting better and sometimes getting worse. Doctor Cheng said that the wound that injured my husband was smeared with poison, which made it difficult to heal.
I just mixed Shuer's bath water into my bathtub and took a bath. When I came out of the bathtub, the wound on my face healed into this state.
Also, the serious wounds on my husband’s body are no longer red and swollen, and the minor wounds have also healed like the wound on his face.”
Chu Chengyi really had the urge to take off his clothes and show Yu Jinyi the wounds on his body.
But he remembered that Yu Jinyi was still in confinement, so he held back.
Alas, he was just too excited.
Shu'er, such a rare treasure in a thousand years, was reborn in the East Palace and became the daughter of Chu Chengyi.
To be honest, he really didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment.
"Your Highness has suffered, but the people behind this are so vicious? Can you find out their origins?"
Yu Jinyi is not a sentimental person. Most of the time when she encounters something, she thinks of the overall situation first.
"Yes, we caught two alive. When my uncle's people came to pick them up, they took them back to Beijing via the official road. As for the bandits this time, they also sent all the alive to him."
Chu Chengyi's elder brother-in-law is Yu Jinyi's elder brother, Yu Jinming, the Minister of Dali Temple.
When Yu Jinyi learned that Chu Chengyi would be attacked at Heishankou, he sent him a message and asked him to arrange for the Yu family soldiers to pick him up.
The Yu family already had business in the south, and it would not arouse suspicion if the palace soldiers disguised themselves as employees and drove the carriage to transport goods out of the city.
They took the official road and waited for Chu Chengyi a hundred miles away from Heishankou.
Yu Jinyi's original intention was to hope that Chu Chengyi would not go through Heishankou.
But if he had to go through Heishankou for a reason, he would let the Yu family soldiers escort him.
"Oh, that's good. I don't know if what Shu'er said yesterday has anything to do with these people."
Yu Jinyi always remembered what Chu Qinshu said when she met Chu Chengyi yesterday.
"If Chu Chengyi can't protect them, they and their children will all die miserably..."
"Don't worry. Regardless of whether it's related or not, I will never be as soft-hearted as before."
Chu Chengyi was made crown prince at the age of three. During these twenty-three years, he encountered countless assassination attempts, both large and small.
When the late emperor was alive, he was still young, and those people used small tricks like pushing him into the water or drugging him.
However, with the protection of the late emperor's dragon guards, he was safe.
After the previous emperor passed away, he encountered various assassination attempts every year.
Fortunately, he had a good foundation in martial arts and was protected by the prince's secret guards around the clock, which allowed him to survive to the present day.
In the past, he always remembered the teachings of the late emperor that the royal heirs must not be killed or murdered.
If they cannot be friendly and respectful to each other as brothers, just find a way to send them to their fiefdoms as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, his brothers mistook his kindness for weakness and challenged his bottom line again and again.
Now, he decided not to endure it anymore.
His daughter's words had already told him the end of his life. If he still didn't make up his mind to change his fate, wouldn't it be true as his daughter said, that he was so weak that he couldn't even protect his wife and children?
"Well, it's good that you know the answer. Have you ever doubted what happened to Sui'er back then?"
Seeing that Chu Chengyi had no intention of leaving, Yu Jinyi asked about his second son Chu Yansui.
This matter has been on her mind for more than ten days. How could she be willing to give up without getting to the bottom of it?
"But Shu'er mentioned it?"
Chu Chengyi frowned. Sacrifice is no small matter, and the altar cannot be used to harm people at will.
"Well, Shu'er said that the Imperial Master had buried black gunpowder under the altar, and would ignite it and blow it up when Sui'er was born. How similar is this to the incident with the crow on the day Shu'er was born?"
Yu Jinyi has thought about these two things countless times in recent days, and the methods are indeed the same.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what black powder was.
I can't understand why the national master has no reverence for the altar?
"Black powder?"
Chu Chengyi had never heard of black powder, but he thought of fireworks.
Among the five countries in Changxing Continent, only Sheng'an has fireworks.
Although fireworks have only been around for three years, he somehow feels that there may be a connection between the two.
"I don't know what it is either. Since Shu'er said it was buried by the Imperial Master, then the Imperial Master must know."
Yu Jinyi thought of the Imperial Master and then the Empress...
The Empress' mother's family was the Duke Xuan's Mansion. Although Duke Xuan and his son were incompetent, they both entered the camp outside the capital with the Empress' strong support.
The father and son were respectively the commander-in-chief and the right deputy general of the Yingjiao Camp.
The main purpose of the Beijing Suburbs Camp is to protect the safety of the capital...
"This matter requires long-term consideration. Your husband will find a way to find out.
You must not mention this to your mother-in-law, lest she goes to my father to plead for mercy, which would only cause more trouble."
Five years ago, on the day Chu Yansui was born, the imperial teacher said that he was a disaster.
He also said that if he grew up, he would bring disaster to Sheng Anguo, and he even insisted on asking Emperor Yongping to order him to be burned to death.
If Cui had not accompanied Chu Chengyi in kneeling and begging for half a day, and had not mentioned the former General of the Cavalry's achievements in fighting for Sheng Anguo, I am afraid Chu Yansui would really not have been able to save himself.
If Cui knew that Chu Yansui was framed, she would definitely rush to Yu's study to ask Emperor Yongping for an explanation.
"I tried to ask my mother, but she didn't believe it. After all, the altar is a serious matter, and she wouldn't easily believe that someone would use the altar to harm others."
Yu Jinyi did not hide it from Chu Chengyi.
To avoid the matter being clarified and Cui bringing up their speculations from the past few days, Chu Chengyi would not think too much.
Although Chu Jun was not an emperor, he certainly did not like people close to him to hide things from him.
"Yes, if Shu'er hadn't said it, I would have found it hard to believe."
Chu Chengyi understood Cui and believed what Yu Jinyi said.
"Why isn't Shu'er awake yet?"
Yu Jinyi was in confinement after giving birth, and according to the rules, he could not stay in her bedroom for long.
But the reason he came here was not only to let Yu Jinyi see the effect of her daughter's bath water, but more importantly, he also wanted to hug his daughter.
I really hope that when my daughter sees his face, she will change her opinion of him.
Not only is he not weak, he is also very handsome.
Don’t children like beautiful things?
He is much more pleasing to the eye than his old father.
