Chapter 232: One in a million



Chu Qianhuang comforted her and said, "Aunt, as long as Brother Yi gets the title, you can return to the Marquis' Mansion."

Aunt Jiang opened her eyes slightly, a flame ignited in her eyes, and then suddenly extinguished, and she repeated the old words: "Sister Huang, I don't know how Brother Yi is doing in the palace. I am really worried about him..."

"You and he are both a piece of my flesh. When I think about it, my heart aches..."

Aunt Jiang's curved dark eyebrows seemed to be frowned, her eyelashes trembled, and the crystal tears finally slid down from the corners of her eyes. She looked so pitiful, weak and helpless.

"Aunt, don't cry and hurt yourself." Chu Qianhuang hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Aunt Jiang's face.

Aunt Jiang's eyes were blurred with tears, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She sighed sadly and said, "The result of the three-court trial came out today. The emperor pardoned your father and sentenced him to exile for 800 miles. His title of marquis was also preserved... This was earned by Brother Yi with his life."

"Before I came to the palace, I went back to the Marquis' Mansion. Now the Marquis' Mansion is full of joy. The servants all said that the fourth young master is too young to inherit the title, and the title will definitely be inherited by your second uncle..."

"Poor Yi Ge'er, his life or death is still unknown, they have completely forgotten about him..."

Aunt Jiang cried more and more sadly, and choked slightly.

Chu Qianhuang was originally panicked because of Chu Yunyi's injury. It was not until this moment that she began to calm down and frowned.

Chu Yunyi is still in danger at the moment, but the second branch seems to be fine and has already coveted the title.

Yes, the third and fourth wives are both concubines and have no power to compete with the second wife for the title.

The second uncle and the second aunt have long been dissatisfied with the eldest house. This time when the eldest house got into trouble, the second uncle and the second aunt did not help at all. Instead, they kept complaining about the eldest house and blamed it for implicated the other three houses.

Now that the title has been preserved, they still want to take advantage of the situation.

Without Chu Yunyi's contribution in saving the emperor, the title of the Marquis' Mansion would have been lost long ago. Needless to say, the title definitely belongs to the eldest branch of the family, and no one can take it away.

Chu Yunmu is the legitimate son, but he is only five years old. If he inherits the title, according to the rules, he must wait at least another seven or eight years. After all, there has never been a five-year-old marquis in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Even if the emperor showed extra grace and allowed Chu Yunmu to inherit the title, the Chu family is now in turmoil, and Chu Yunmu is not able to support the Chu family at his age.

Chu Qianhuang's eyes were calm, with a thoughtful gleam in them.

"Sister Huang, if..." Aunt Jiang stared at Chu Qianhuang, held her hand again, and panted rapidly.

She took two deep breaths before she calmed down a little. She said in a trembling voice, "If Brother Yi really does... won't you and I be left alone in the future..."

"Auntie, Brother Yi will be fine." Chu Qianhuang raised her eyes to meet Aunt Jiang's, and spoke slowly, as if she had made an important decision, and said, "This is the title that Brother Yi saved with his life, and it cannot be given to others."

That’s right, the title should be inherited by Chu Yunyi.

Chu Yunyi is her biological brother. Both in character and talent, he is far superior to Chu Lingxiao, Chu Lingyu and others. For the eldest son of the family, it is definitely better for him to inherit the title than for his uncle from the next room to inherit the title.

After all, she was also somewhat responsible for Chu Yunyi's serious injury this time.

He is now recovering from his injuries, and she cannot just sit there and wait. She must find a way to get his title back for him, as a way of repaying his kindness.

Aunt Jiang's brows finally relaxed slightly, as if she had found a backbone, and she said earnestly: "Sister Huang, I'm relying on you."

"I only trust you. I am really worried about Brother Yi staying in Prince Chen's Mansion and Sister Chen's place..."

Chu Qianhuang met Aunt Jiang's eyes and couldn't say no, so she could only agree: "I'll go find grandma when I get back."

As she responded, she was having a headache thinking about how she should persuade the lady to go to Prince Chen's Mansion to bring Chu Yunyi back.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianhuang frowned again and bit her lower lip slightly.

I don't know what Chu Qianchen was thinking. Originally, she could have asked the imperial physician and the doctor to come directly to the Marquis' Mansion to treat Chu Yunyi, but she insisted on taking him to the Prince's Mansion, causing her to have to go to the trouble of persuading the Lady Dowager to pick him up.

If you are not careful, you may even make the lady unhappy.

Chu Qianchen is really pretentious. Even though Chu Yunyi is not her brother, she still pretends to be affectionate and righteous.

etc!

Chu Qianhuang suddenly thought of something and whispered to herself, "Could it be that..."

"Did you say something?" Aunt Jiang asked anxiously, clenching Chu Qianhuang's fingers.

Chu Qianhuang pursed her lips.

Chu Yunmu is Chu Qianchen's younger brother. Under normal circumstances, Chu Qianchen should naturally help Chu Yunmu fight for the title.

Just before she entered the palace, she saw from afar that the carriage of Duke Mu's mansion entered the palace before her, which means that Shen should have also gone to the palace.

Why did Shen Shi go to Prince Chen's Mansion? !

The reason is obvious, for the title of Marquis Yongding.

so--

Chu Qianchen had just said so much to her "righteously", but in fact he just wanted to make her feel guilty and prevent her from helping Chu Yunyi fight for the title.

Chu Yunyi was young and naive, and he had always thought that the title should belong to the Shen mother and son. Now that he was seriously injured, only Chu Qianchen was guarding him. He was afraid that if she just coaxed him, he would open his heart to others.

Chu Qianhuang answered irrelevantly and said, "We should bring Brother Yi back as soon as possible."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. No matter how beautifully Chu Qianchen spoke, in the final analysis, she had her own selfish motives.

The carriage had already gone several blocks away, and she could no longer see Prince Chen's Palace.

The sky was clear and blue, with a flock of wild geese occasionally flying overhead.

The geese pass by without leaving a trace, and the autumn breeze blows gently.

Chu Qianchen, who was still in Shaohua Hall at this moment, was also looking at the geese in the blue sky. The geese flew away and Su Mubai arrived.

Without waiting for Su Mubai to salute, Chu Qianchen ordered: "Su Mubai, pick some people to go south to meet the prince."

"Princess?" Su Mubai looked at Chu Qianchen in confusion.

Chu Qianchen was worried about Gu Jue, so he didn't hide it from Su Mubai and told him everything that was wrong with Chu Qianhuang.

Su Mubai had a solemn expression, standing there motionless like a sculpture, but his mind was racing as he methodically sorted out the clues given by Chu Qianchen.

He was a smart man. He figured it out in a split second and his pupils shrank slightly.

"Princess, do you suspect that Wuhejialou might be in danger on his way back to Nanhao?" Su Mubai asked directly.

Amber was standing next to Chu Qianchen. She was confused by what she heard and blinked suspiciously.

She was present when the princess and Chu Qianhuang were talking just now, so why couldn't she figure out how the princess and Su Mubai came to such an irrelevant conclusion? Chu Qianchen nodded, confirming Su Mubai's guess: "Not bad."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy and depressing.

The danger encountered by Wuhejialou had nothing to do with Prince Chen's Mansion, but the prince was also with Wuhejialou.

What they were worried about was the prince's safety.

Su Mubai and Chu Qianchen looked at each other. Su Mubai narrowed his eyes, pursed his thin lips, and undercurrents filled his deep, dark eyes.

If someone else said these to Su Mubai, Su Mubai would just think that the other person was drunk or mentally ill, which was why he was talking nonsense.

But, this is what Chu Qianchen said.

Their princess is not someone who follows the crowd.

He had only been in contact with her for a few short months, but she had already gone through many ups and downs with the Prince Chen's Mansion.

He could see that their princess was very smart, extremely smart, and she always put the Prince Chen's Palace and the Prince Chen first in everything.

She is on the same side as these people.

Since Chu Qianchen feels there is a problem, then there is most likely a real problem.

Besides, since this concerns the prince, they should be as careful as possible.

Nothing must happen to the prince!

Without Chu Qianchen saying anything, Su Mubai took the initiative to say, "Five thousand people from the north are on their way to the capital..."

Previously, the emperor promised the Prince Chen's Palace to transfer another 30,000 people from the north to the capital. These 5,000 people are the first batch of elite troops, each of them is one in a hundred miles, and now they are less than 300 miles away from the capital.

"Princess, I will immediately dispatch these people to change their route and rush directly to the Qihao border to meet the prince."

Su Mubai came up with the best solution in the shortest time.

Chu Qianchen understood what Su Mubai meant. If the Black Armor Army stationed in the Beijing Camp was mobilized at this time, it would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion. Directly mobilizing these 5,000 people would be the fastest and would not alert the enemy or arouse the emperor's vigilance.

"You arrange this matter." Chu Qianchen nodded.

Su Mubai is now much more familiar with the military than she is, and his arrangements must be better.

The two exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

Both Su Mubai and Chu Qianchen hoped that this guess was just their over-intelligence. In that case, at most they would just let these 5,000 troops practice a raid.

Even if the possibility is one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand, it is not overly cautious when it comes to the prince's affairs.

They don’t even dare to think about “what if”…

"Su Mubai, you go there in person." Chu Qianchen said again.

She wanted to go there in person, as it felt too terrible to stay in the capital waiting for news. However, considering the overall situation, she couldn't leave.

She is the Princess of Chen. The prince is not in the capital, so she has to show up from time to time to comfort the emperor.

Moreover, women are naturally weaker than men in physical strength and endurance. She knows that she cannot keep up with the elite soldiers in the army in terms of physical strength. Not only will it slow down the marching speed, but if they really encounter danger, they will have to spare some manpower to take care of themselves even with her there.

Now, she is just a burden on the battlefield.

Chu Qianchen looked at his slender arms and fingers, feeling a little self-loathing.

She is still too lazy. She needs to practice riding and archery well so that she won't be a drag on the prince in the future.
