Chapter 214 Venting



"Meow!"

The little black cat cried happily and ran over briskly to greet Chu Qianchen. As it walked, it rubbed against him stickily, forcing Chu Qianchen to slow down.

This scene made Shen feel much more cheerful, and she couldn't help but think of the way Chu Yunmu was pestering Chu Qianchen.

At this time, Shen was no longer too worried. The Jinyiwei had already withdrawn from Prince Chen's Mansion an incense stick ago. Amber reported the matter to Shen immediately to reassure her.

Since the Jinyiwei have withdrawn, it means that this matter should be able to be resolved amicably.

However, before Chu Qianchen came back, Shen was still somewhat worried, fearing that some unexpected changes might occur, or that the emperor would do something weird again.

Now that she saw her daughter return safe and sound, Shen felt relieved.

"Sister Chen," Shen took Chu Qianchen's hand and sat down, and ordered the maid to quickly serve tea and snacks, "Are you hungry?"

After hearing the news that the Jinyiwei had withdrawn, Shen told Amber to warm up the food quickly, fearing that her daughter would be hungry.

Amber was busy running around and couldn't stop. She was left in the palace waiting for news, and she was also worried. She also had to distract herself to comfort Shen. Now she finally felt at ease again.

The room was infused with vitality because of Chu Qianchen's arrival.

Chu Qianchen said in a coquettish tone: "Mom, can you stay and have dinner with me?"

Shen had no intention of leaving, so she agreed with a smile, and personally helped Chu Qianchen take off the heavy pearl crown on his head, and asked casually, "Are you okay?"

Chu Qianchen rubbed his sore neck, feeling alive again, and said with a smile: "Nothing, everything is resolved."

She smiled brightly at Shen, and her confident expression seemed to say, if I take action, there is nothing that can't be solved!

"I'm glad you're okay." Shen said without asking any more questions.

After all, this was a matter of Prince Chen's Mansion, involving the secrets of Prince Chen's Mansion. If she asked, it would make her daughter embarrassed.

If it weren't for the Emperor's marriage, Shen would never have let Chu Qianchen marry into Prince Chen's mansion. Qi Da is not a good match. Although Prince Chen is good, being Prince Chen's wife is too hard. As long as the Emperor is in power, things like today will continue to happen...

She hoped that her sister Chen could live an easier and freer life. Sister Chen had wings, and she didn't want this child to have her wings clipped and be kept in a cage.

She hoped that the child's husband would be someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Shen gently combed Chu Qianchen's hair, suppressed the slight sadness in her heart, and said to herself, since Sister Chen has already married Prince Chen, the matter is done and there is no point in thinking about these assumptions.

Shen could see that Sister Chen respected Prince Chen very much. She only hoped that after Prince Chen returned to the capital, he would know that Sister Chen had been with the Prince Chen's family through thick and thin, and would treat her well in the future.

As time goes by, the Prince will definitely know that he has picked up a rare treasure.

They will definitely live better and better.

Shen curled the corners of her lips, her eyes firm yet gentle, "My sister Chen is really capable!"

Her eyes seemed to say that no matter what Chu Qianchen did, she would stand by her side and support her decision.

Chu Qianchen smiled with his teeth showing, and there was a cheerful smile in his phoenix eyes, which seemed to be shining with starlight, twinkling.

"Mother," Chu Qianchen pulled Shen to sit down, and made eye contact with her. His eyes flashed, and he said concisely, "Chu Lingxiao has been taken to the Heavenly Prison for falsely accusing the prince and Prince Qin. The emperor has ordered the three courts to hold a joint trial."

Chu Qianchen did not explain the cause and effect, but only the result of the whole incident.

Shen was stunned.

She was a smart person. After a little thought, she understood something and showed some enlightenment.

The smile on her face deepened and she felt extremely happy.

This man is not only unfit to be a father, he is not fit to be a human being at all. His death does not deserve to be a pity.

Chu Qianchen stared into Shen's eyes and asked seriously again, "Do you want to divorce him, mother?"

Chu Lingxiao had offended the emperor this time, and the emperor was still angry, but he could not vent his anger on Gu Jue and Qin Yao, so he would inevitably vent his anger on Chu Lingxiao.

Chu Qianchen knew that Shen no longer had any affection for Chu Lingxiao.

The reason she didn't want to divorce was not only because she was holding a grudge in her heart, but also more for Mu Ge'er.

Now Chu Lingxiao is in the Heavenly Prison. The crime he committed is very serious and he will most likely be stripped of his title.

Now that the Chu family has lost the title, the Shen family naturally no longer needs to continue to compromise themselves in order for Mu Ge'er to inherit the title.

Shen shook her head silently.

Even if she lost her title, she still couldn't take Mu Ge'er away.

Not divorced.

She can't divorce.

Chu Qianchen understood it very well in her heart. She stopped trying to persuade him. She changed the subject and said briskly, "Mom, the Chu family must be frightened now. If you go back now, they will praise you to the sky."

She winked slyly, implying that Shen could now let out the anger she had been holding.

Shen pulled the corner of her mouth coldly, "No hurry."

They had to let the Madam and the others rush out and try it out first, so that they would know how difficult this matter was to handle. Only then would they know how to ask for help, and avoid not knowing how to ask for help, and always being condescending, as if she and the Shen family were begging their Chu family.

"That's right." Chu Qianchen nodded seriously, and flattered Shen, "As expected, the old ones are still the wisest!"

Shen was amused by Chu Qianchen and laughed out loud, then raised her finger and pointed at the tip of Chu Qianchen's nose.

The mother and daughter laughed together, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot lighter.

At this time, Amber came over and said, "Lunch is ready."

The maids placed lunch in the side room next to the main hall.

The mother and daughter moved to the west wing, and the little black cat followed them closely.

The lunch passed with the soft cry of the kitten. After the meal, Shen said goodbye.

She had come from the house next door, so she returned the same way and left in the same carriage.

From beginning to end, no outsiders knew that Shen had come and left.

After Shen left, Chu Qianchen went back to the main courtyard to change his makeup, put on some light clothes, and went to the main hall, Qiongbi Hall, in the front yard.

There were quite a few people sitting in the hall, including Su Mubai, Cheng Linhua, Yun Zhan, and others, sitting in different postures, some elegant, some lazy, some sitting with their legs crossed, and some sitting upright...

They were drinking tea and chatting, having a lively time.

Seeing Chu Qianchen coming, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone stood up to greet them, all eyes looking at the girl walking towards them in the courtyard.

Chu Qianchen changed into a lilac-colored silk gown, tied her jet-black hair into a bun, and wore a few velvet flowers on her head. She looked simple and plain, completely different from the luxurious and elegant look she had just had in the palace.

She has a straight posture, eyes like stars, and her every frown and smile is as beautiful as a flower. There is a sense of heroic spirit in her steps, which is elegant and straightforward.

Everyone looked at her, and everyone's eyes were shining brightly.

Today's game with the emperor was like a battlefield without the smoke and killing, and their Prince Chen's Mansion won a great victory.

Who could have imagined that the one charging at the front was their young princess!

Su Mubai narrowed his eyes, an unusually bright light flashed in his fox eyes, and he cheered for Chu Qianchen in his heart.

Their princess was even more outstanding than he had imagined. She seemed to know naturally how to gain the greatest benefits for Prince Chen's Mansion, which made him think of the prince.

While thinking, Chu Qianchen walked into the hall.

They said these four words in unison and with great respect, and the atmosphere became solemn.

They were all convinced by the princess.

"Please sit down." Chu Qianchen felt very comfortable and sat down leisurely on the armchair at the top.

Compared with this room full of tall and strong generals, she looked out of place sitting here, like a sheep thrown into a pack of wolves.

Su Mubai and others also sat down.

Everyone exchanged glances, and Cheng Linhua indicated that Su Mubai should speak.

Su Mubai said, "Princess, after you left, the emperor drafted an edict, which will be announced to the world tomorrow. With Prime Minister Zhang and others as witnesses, there will be no problem with this matter."

Su Mubai smiled slightly.

Today’s event went so smoothly, all thanks to Chu Qianchen.

It was impossible for them to discuss everything in advance because the emperor's attitude and the development of events were uncontrollable. It was completely beyond Su Mubai's expectation that Chu Qianchen could do this.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

They received a letter from the prince five days ago, in which the prince told them about Chu Lingxiao's situation in the northwest and when Qin Yao would send a victory report, and asked them to seize the opportunity and help Qin Yao get Bingzhou Guard.

At the beginning, their target was Bingzhou Wei.

In addition, it was to add fuel to the fire and assist Qin Yao in inheriting the title as soon as possible.

Su Mubai never expected that Chu Qianchen would even get Ding Ling and force the emperor to issue an edict of remorse.

Wonderful! This is such a pleasant surprise!

Su Mubai had always known that although the princess was young, she was courageous and extremely intelligent. He had never expected that she would be so fearless in front of the emperor and handle the matter so beautifully.

I... No, it’s the prince who really found a treasure.

Su Mubai winked at the others calmly, implying that if it weren't for him, the princess would not have come to their Prince Chen's Mansion, and the prince would still be single.

Xue Fengyan and Yun Zhan smiled and gave Su Mubai a look, indicating, yes, yes, you are awesome!

Cheng Linhua also nodded and couldn't help laughing, secretly sighing that the prince and the princess were such a perfect match.

Su Mubai took a sip of tea, looked at Chu Qianchen again, and continued: "The emperor instructed the prince to let the three courts try Chu Lingxiao's case as soon as possible. After sending us away, the emperor became 'sick' again."

Cheng Linhua and others also looked at Chu Qianchen, wanting to know Chu Qianchen's attitude towards Chu Lingxiao. After all, Chu Lingxiao was Chu Qianchen's biological father.

Chu Qianchen sat there quietly, listening and drinking tea elegantly, with a graceful demeanor and not even a frown on his face.

Su Mubai observed the changes in Chu Qianchen's expression, his eyes flickering.

Because the emperor was wary of the Nanyang Palace, he would definitely send someone to the northwest. If it wasn't Chu Lingxiao, it would be someone else. In this plan to seize Bingzhouwei, Chu Lingxiao was actually dispensable and not necessary.

At the beginning, the reason why the prince had the idea of ​​sending Chu Lingxiao to the northwest was to make him suffer a little and setback his career.

And now, the prince dragged Chu Lingxiao into this situation for the princess, but did the princess know? !

This was what Su Mubai wanted to know. He wondered whether he should remind the princess tactfully, lest the prince, with all his good intentions, end up flirting with a blind man.

Chu Qianchen put down the teacup and said in a firm tone: "You don't need to interfere in Chu Lingxiao's affairs anymore."

Cheng Linhua and others breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged glances quickly.

Su Mubai noticed that the corner of Chu Qianchen's mouth curled up and understood.

The princess knew it.

Well, it's easy to talk to smart people.

Su Mubai was in a good mood. He drank two more sips of tea and turned the topic to Kang Hongda. "Kang Hongda is indeed a cautious person. Originally, the emperor summoned him to the palace to lead troops to encircle and suppress the Fengtai camp, but he did not move in the end."

Su Mubai narrowed his eyes, his eyes were deep.

Today's situation is also a good fuse. He is using it to observe the attitudes of all parties towards this matter.

The Jinyiwei is a knife in the emperor's hand. They will do whatever the emperor tells them to do. However, Kang Hongda is obviously much more cautious than Lu Siji.

Su Mubai said slowly: "I suspect Kang Hongda may have guessed that this is a trap... He is really an old fox!"

"Now that Kang Hongda has returned to Beijing, we must not let our guard down."

Kang Hongda acted very cautiously and knew how to read the emperor's mind. He stayed out of today's incident and was not involved in any scandal. Instead, the prince was in a thankless position.

When Su Mubai said that Kang Hongda was an old fox, everyone else showed an indescribable expression.

This Su Mubai, he himself is a fox, and he has the nerve to call others old foxes!

Su Mubai didn't notice their expressions, he lowered his eyes and thought.

The main hall was silent for a while. Cheng Linhua cleared his throat and respectfully asked Chu Qianchen, "Does the princess have any instructions?"

Chu Qianchen thought for a moment and said, "Find someone to give some advice to the Imperial College."

"Don't worry, Princess." Cheng Linhua agreed with a smile.

He understood Chu Qianchen's worries and concerns.

The Great Qi Dynasty had been on the decline long before the late emperor ascended the throne. The late emperor worked hard for twenty years to try to turn the tide, and there was some initial success. However, the current emperor has been on the throne for only a few years, and the late emperor's hard work has been almost destroyed.

The current Great Qi Dynasty has become extremely corrupt, with corruption spreading from the top to the bottom. Even the Imperial College, the top institution of learning in the Great Qi Dynasty, is plagued by corruption.

In recent years, there have been many tricks in the Imperial College's admissions. On the surface, the admissions are based on merit, but in fact, there are many twists and turns hidden in secret, and all the prefectures in the capital are well aware of it.

Although the Chu family was not among the most powerful and influential people in the capital, it was still a marquisate after all, and it had a royal concubine. In the past, other families would have given them some respect.

Most people at that time tend to bully the weak. Once the Chu family falls, Chu Yunyi will probably have a hard time in the Imperial College. He may be bullied and excluded by some of his classmates, or even be expelled from the Imperial College.

"Cheng Changshi, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. This kid has thick skin and rough flesh, so there is no need to pamper him too much." Chu Qianchen smiled slightly.

In her opinion, whether Chu Yunyi will have a promising future and whether he can achieve his own achievements depends on himself. However, Chu Qianchen will not sit idly by and watch this silly boy being ruined by some insignificant things.

Since he was admitted to the Imperial College based on his own abilities, this was his chance, so with Prince Chen's Palace around, no one could drive Chu Yunyi out of the Imperial College.

However, the family's decline is bound to cause Chu Yunyi to encounter some cold eyes and strange looks, and he will have to adapt to it on his own.

If this kid can't even see through this, then he'd better not go to the battlefield and harm others and himself.

Cheng Linhua and the others could all hear the intimacy in Chu Qianchen's tone when he called Chu Yunyi. It was obvious that their princess did not care about Chu Lingxiao as her biological father, but this younger brother still had some weight, even though the princess always complained that this younger brother was stupid.

Xue Fengyan, Yun Zhan and others exchanged glances with each other.

During the month that Chu Yunyi had been in Xuanjia Camp, they had taken care of him and observed him. They felt that the princess's younger brother had some talent and a good character, which was completely different from his father.

Chu Qianchen looked out of the hall. The sun was setting in the west, and the branches were gradually dyed yellow by the autumn. The autumn wind was blowing the fallen leaves around in the air...

A few fallen leaves were blown over the wall by the wind.

Chu Qianchen also looked into the distance. At this time, the Chu family should have also received the news.

Just as she had expected, the news that Chu Lingxiao was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison had already reached the Yongding Marquis' Mansion. The entire Chu family was in an uproar. From the master to the servants, all of them were like headless flies, panicked and confused.

It seems like there will be a cold wave coming everywhere today, please keep warm~

Starting today, the monthly votes will be doubled. There haven't been many updates in the past two days and I'm embarrassed to ask for them. Please give them as you see fit ~mua~
