Those things are no longer important. How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?
Chinatsu Ueno stopped what she was doing, opened the door, looked around to make sure no one was there, closed the door, came back, took a scroll from a vase inside the room, and handed it to Masako Izumi.
"Midai-sho, this is what Musashi wrote about his experiences in the Great Chu. He swore that he had not told a single lie. I don't think he would dare to lie either, since his life is still in Midai-sho's hands."
As for the seaside, I also had someone inquire about it. The ships of Da Chu are three times larger than the largest ships of Da He, and their workmanship and details are many times more exquisite than those of Da He.
Recently, the younger sister of the Princess Consort of Great Chu bought one of our Yamato ships; I wonder what she'll use it for.
Masako Izumi opened the scroll and began to read it carefully.
Finally, she rolled up the scroll and said, "Chika, it seems I made the right bet. They have the strength."
Chinatsu Ueno looked worried. "Lord Odai, what if the Shogun finds out..."
Before she could finish speaking, Izumi Masako interrupted her, "Chika, you know what I want. With Tokugi Yasuhito's suspicious nature, how could he not be suspicious?"
Wasn't that exactly what I wanted to achieve by having Deyi Yongcheng lured to see the Great Chu princess?
She was the one who secretly had Musashi executed and then switched out, from whom she learned a lot about the Great Chu.
Knowing that Deyi Yongcheng liked young girls, the younger the better, she deliberately had someone lead him to the Great Chu princess.
In this way, the Prince and Princess of Great Chu will surely hold a grudge against Shang Deyi Yongcheng.
Some hatreds, once sown, will one day sprout.
Ueno Chinatsu asked worriedly, "Midai-sho, what should we do next?"
"Chika, you should go," Masako Izumi suddenly said.
Ueno Chinatsu suddenly knelt down upon hearing this. "Lord Odai, did Chinatsu do something wrong? Please punish me, Lord Odai, and don't send Chinatsu away."
Izumi Masako stepped forward to help Ueno Chinatsu up. "Chinatsu, the matter of the prince's poisoning has many flaws, but the truth will eventually come out."
This is something I have to do. I can't drag you into this. While they haven't come after me yet, you still have a chance to escape.
"Go, Chika, it's not worth losing your life."
Ueno Chinatsu raised her head, her face covered in tears. "No, Odai-sho, ever since I accompanied you into the shogunate, I've never thought of leaving your side. Odai-sho, Chinatsu isn't afraid to die."
Seeing Chinatsu like this, Izumi Masako knew that she would never leave her, and sighed, "Fine, do as you please."
"Thank you, Odai-sho." Ueno Chinatsu's eyes welled up with gratitude.
In fact, when the Imperial Palace poisoned the Crown Prince, Chinatsu Ueno had already prepared for this. She had nothing to fear about dying with the Imperial Palace.
She had served the Imperial Palace since she was a child. The Imperial Palace treated her like a sister, always sharing good things with her and never treating her like a servant. They even helped her father and brothers find good jobs.
The kindness shown to her by the Imperial Palace reminded Ueno Chinatsu of Tokuyoshi Yasuhito, filling her heart with even more hatred.
When Yutai learned that she was pregnant, she was overjoyed. However, she knew that the general would not allow her to give birth to the child, so she secretly made an excuse to leave the mansion and went to a temple to cultivate for five months.
Unexpectedly, the general discovered the matter and brought the person back. Ignoring the Empress Dowager's desperate pleas, he forced her to drink an abortifacient.
Not only that, she also ordered people to use sticks to roll back and forth on the Empress's belly to ensure that the fetus in her womb could not survive.
The Imperial Palace was covered in blood and nearly lost his life.
If it weren't for Ueno Chinatsu's efforts to improve her health, even if Odai-sho had survived, she would have been bedridden for years and unable to get out of bed.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Lord Otai, the elder requests your presence."
