Chapter 79 Injury

Chu Zhenxuan has been particularly busy these two days.

Chu Zhenxuan found a woman who was similar to Xia Xue in body shape and other aspects to "lie down" for Xia Xue, while Xia Xue moved to Fuhua Pavilion.

Xia Xue didn't ask too many questions, but when she saw that the number of guards in the prime minister's residence had increased several times, she knew that something big was about to happen.

Caideqijia hadn't found Caideyangji yet, and he felt worse and worse.

"Have you received any response from other places?"

"Four places responded. Two places left messages saying that things were tense recently and they were hiding for a while. The other places didn't respond at all."

Cai Deqijia’s face became increasingly darker.

"How many of our people have come in?"

"There were 2,300 before, and now there should be about 1,000 from the four places that have responded, and there are still 500 at the prince's place."

"That's enough. Our people are all elites."

"Someone from the palace came to tell you to act as soon as possible."

"The princess hasn't been found yet. Please wait a little longer."

Cai Deqijia had to wait for another three days.

However, things changed.

Everyone in the capital knew that something big had happened in these three days.

First, Lord Qian went to the government office to report that someone had dug a hole in his backyard, but he had no idea where it led to, so he asked the government office to investigate.

Then Prince Lu reported that his brother Prince Guo was colluding with the Hu people to rebel and had raised more than a hundred soldiers in his mansion.

By the time the emperor sent people to capture Prince Guo, he had already escaped and his entire family was nowhere to be found.

Not long after, Prince Guo went to the prison to rescue Caide Yangji, but was killed on the spot by the jailers.

Caide Yangji was also shot dead during the resistance.

Cai Deqijia and others resisted stubbornly and suffered heavy casualties. Cai Deqijia was captured but died suddenly on the way to the palace.

All the key figures involved in the rebellion died overnight, and Prince Guo’s relatives are still missing.

The emperor questioned the captured people but learned almost nothing, so he stabbed them all to death.

Prince Lu received many rewards for his meritorious service in killing his own relative for the sake of justice.

The Qian family was meritorious in reporting the crime, but the thieves almost took advantage of them to succeed, so their merits and demerits were offset and no further action was taken.

This matter seemed to be picked up so heavily and put down so lightly.

But there is no doubt that the Hu Kingdom suffered heavy losses.

As most of the remaining Hu people in Seabuckthorn were unarmed, the emperor ordered that they could be sent back to the Hu State and designated Xia Tianyu to send them back.

When Chu Zhenxuan returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, Xia Xue was also stunned.

His eyes were bloodshot, with two big dark circles under his eyes, and one arm was hanging.

"Injured?"

Chu Zhenxuan smiled nicely, "It's no problem."

"Is it all over?"

"For now."

Xia Xue sighed, "I always thought that Prince Lu was the biggest boss, but I didn't expect that he would become the biggest contributor in the end."

"Whether it is a meritorious official or not, the emperor must recognize it."

You have been rewarded with so much gold, silver, jade and silk, why aren't you showing it off?

After all the effort, you contributed the most, but in the end you were left with your arm hanging.

Forget it. Since you're injured, I won't attack you.

"That's right. In the emperor's heart, he still values ​​you the most."

That’s what I want to hear!

Chu Zhenxuan sighed helplessly, it was beyond his expectation that Prince Lu would report Prince Guo, but he absolutely did not believe that Prince Lu was innocent. After all, from Prince Guo's Mansion to the Heavenly Prison, he was able to kill people and silence them. What kind of power had he achieved?

The Emperor gave Prince Lu an unparalleled reward, and he believed it was for the purpose of appeasement.

But he couldn't say these words.

Chu Zhenxuan smiled bitterly, walked forward and grabbed Xia Xue.

Xia Xue struggled a few times, but was afraid of touching his injured arm, so she simply stopped moving.

Chu Zhenxuan placed his head on Xia Xue's shoulder and said softly, "Thank you, ma'am."

Xia Xue played an indispensable role in finding the eleven strongholds of the Hu Kingdom so quickly. If Xia Xue hadn't thought of starting with Cai Deyangji, the problem wouldn't have been solved so quickly. When she put Cai Deyangji under house arrest, she wanted to get some clues from her, but most importantly, she wanted to use her as a last resort to protect the emperor. Later, she thought that if it came to a matter of life and death, Cai Deqi and the others would be desperate, and they could completely ignore Cai Deyangji's life or death and just put the blame on Da'an afterwards.

So they thought about it and came up with the plan of using Xia Xue to lure Cai Deyangji to attack her, and then capture her first.

I didn't expect to get twice the result with half the effort.

"If you can recover from your injury as soon as possible, that would be the greatest thanks you can give me."

"As you command! But even though my wound has not healed, it will not affect my service to the Madam!"

"Disgusting!" Xia Xue pushed Chu Zhenxuan away.

Chu Zhenxuan staggered and groaned.

"How are you?" Xia Xue's face changed and she hurried over to help him.

The next second, warm lips came over.

Xia Xue instinctively took a step back and covered her lips with the back of her hand.

Chu Zhenxuan pulled her and chased her to kiss her.

......

Xia Xue didn't know when her body suddenly became lighter and her feet left the ground.

Later, later...

Xia Xue kept thinking in her mind, wasn't your arm hanging? How did you hold her up with one hand?

Chu Zhenxuan stayed there for several days, refusing to attend the morning court or go out, and just stayed in her Floating Cloud Pavilion.

When she went to the yard, he followed her; when she returned to the inner room, he followed her too.

Although the matter of the Hu Kingdom came to an end for the time being, the number of guards in the prime minister's residence did not decrease.

Xia Xue didn't ask any more questions, after all, Chu Zhenxuan had his own considerations.

Just after lunch that day, the butler came to report that Prince Guo's family was found thirty miles outside of Seabuckthorn City, and almost all of them were killed.

"Almost? In other words, there are still survivors?"

"Our people found a child about 5 or 6 years old who was still breathing. Because of facial injuries, we don't know who he is to Prince Guo yet." said the butler.

"Does anyone else know that there is a survivor?" Chu Zhenxuan asked.

"They should all be our people." replied the butler.

"Okay. Don't let the news leak out. Heal the patient first."

"yes!"

Xia Xue had just been quiet at home for a few days when she heard from the spies in the palace that Xia Lu was under house arrest.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Some say it's related to Concubine Ying's diet, but some also say it's related to Jiang Xiaoyi." The spy answered.

"Go and ask around."

"yes!"

Chu Zhenxuan's face was filled with anger. "After the last incident, the emperor asked Prince Lu to stay in the palace temporarily. Now, all the people from Prince Lu's mansion have entered the palace. But the strange thing is that after they entered the palace, several of our spies disappeared."

"In other words, this was done by Prince Lu?" Xia Xue frowned.

"It's hard to say. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong about Prince Guo's rebellion. The emperor wanted to let Prince Lu watch under his nose, but I felt that things were not going well, so I gave up Li Tingting's Concubine Rong and started to contact Li Tingting."

Xia Xue stood up suddenly and looked at Chu Zhenxuan seriously.

Chu Zhenxuan sighed.

"Do whatever you want."

"I want to go to the palace!"
