Chapter 287 Is the Fifth Brother Han Yun's Son?
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes.
When Jikong said that, that was what he thought.
But I was embarrassed to tell Xiaojiu.
Now that Xiaojiu has said it himself, it’s good.
An Jiu frowned.
A little unhappy.
The princess's male lover...
It doesn't sound like a good career, just like her...
She didn't think An Tai was stunningly handsome, so why did the Princess of Chu like him? She was really impressed. Couldn't she just be a good hostage?
And you still want people to sell themselves...
That sounds so unhappy.
"It must be the Princess of Chu who forced my brother to do that." An Jiu said with certainty: "Damn Chu people."
"The Emperor of Daxia must have forced my sister." An Tai was angry: "Damn Daxia people."
He sat on the shabby stone chair in the City God Temple, his face covered in dust and dirt, thinking about what had happened not long ago.
That man said that he was the emperor of Daxia. Judging from what happened later, that might not be a lie, but why would my sister be in that kind of place?
His sister is so naive, she must have been deceived by the emperor.
What were they doing in a place like that?
An Tai thought of many restricted scenes.
The Chu people on the other side saw that he was annoyed and still angry, so they smiled and said, "The Daxia people are not good people. Now you know, don't you?"
An Tai nodded: "I understand."
The Chu State is not a good thing either...
Birds of a feather. All the same.
The man said, "Soon, we will be able to rescue your sister."
An Tai nodded: "Then I will wait and see."
The man smiled and said, "You still need your sister's help. After all, she is the only one who can get close to the emperor."
An Tai nodded again: "Why don't I meet my sister and talk to her. She may not believe what others say."
The Chu people looked at him and said, "You are not going to play any tricks, are you?"
An Tai shook his head: "Of course not, why do you miss me so much?"
The man said, "That's right. Before you came, the princess told me many times to protect you."
An Tai smiled: "The princess is really sincere to me."
The man's eyes were full of contempt, but he smiled and said, "Your blessing is something that others can only envy."
An Tai lowered his eyes and did not respond.
Whoever wants this blessing can have it, but he doesn't want it.
What princess likes him? He is just a little pet when the princess is bored. If it weren’t for his sister, he would have run away long ago.
It was already daybreak when we returned to the palace.
The emperor was as sleepy as a dead dog, so he changed his clothes and went to the morning court.
But today's morning court is destined not to be peaceful.
Because General Zhenyuan led his troops to defeat the Western Rong.
This news made everyone feel relieved.
Everyone was very happy and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
The emperor was in a good mood...
but……
He and Jiang Cheng below looked at each other.
Prime Minister Jiang and General Zhenyuan were rivals and had always been at odds with each other. Now that General Zhenyuan had won, he didn't know how he would be so proud when he returned.
and……
Prime Minister Jiang said: "Since the war has been won, we should return to the capital as soon as possible. However, General Zhenyuan has not returned yet. I wonder if something has delayed him..."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Yes, according to the news sent back, they had defeated the Xirong half a month ago, but why haven’t they heard any news coming back yet?
Could it be that...
The emperor hates people who are more successful than him the most. What does it mean that General Zhenyuan has not returned yet?
There were voices of discussion from below.
The emperor didn't say anything, but said he would send someone to investigate.
But Prime Minister Jiang always felt uneasy. The emperor's attitude was too strange, and he had a premonition that something was going to happen.
He sent the message to Concubine De and asked her to check it out.
Defei held the letter with a gloomy expression on her face.
Didn't her family know that she was out of favor? The emperor had already begun to dislike her.
But they still asked her to check things.
What could she find out about such a confidential matter? She couldn't just ask the emperor directly.
Concubine De’s eyes darkened.
The family is totally unreliable. They only care about themselves. How could they care about her life or death, or how unhappy she was in the palace?
She might as well rely on herself.
An Jiu slept until the afternoon. After washing up, she prepared to go to Guanghua Palace to work.
Now all people in the palace are talking about is the marriage of the two princes. I heard that the betrothal gifts have been given and the Ministry of Rites has helped prepare them.
There were also people who sympathized with Princess Jing, and at this time Xiao Qiu would sneer, saying that everyone else was drunk but I was the only one sober.
An Jiu felt like laughing when he saw it.
The emperor was also catching up on his sleep.
Eunuch Li said that the emperor had been busy all morning.
"Is Xiaojiu here?" the emperor's voice came. Anjiu entered the inner hall. The emperor was still in a daze, with the curly hair on his head flying.
An Jiu took a comb and combed his hair. He closed his eyes, obviously not awake yet.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yan is here." Eunuch Li came in and said.
The emperor opened his eyes: "Let him in."
An Jiuwan was very happy, and soon Yan Wenjie came.
He looks quite happy.
"Your Majesty, I have caught you."
Yan Wenjie checked the people from last night one by one, and actually caught one, and...
"He's a eunuch."
If it was a eunuch, he was most likely from the palace, and that person was just out to deliver a message. He had no time to swallow any poison, and he had no chance to commit suicide.
The emperor asked, "Did he say that?"
Yan Wenjie: “Yes.”
The torture instruments in the Dali Temple were no worse than those in the palace, and it didn't take much effort for the young eunuch to tell them all.
The emperor asked him to inform Jiang Sheng.
The two men were very efficient and soon caught the person in the palace according to what the young eunuch said.
She was a maid in the Empress Dowager's palace.
The emperor was not surprised. The Chu spies were very cunning and putting the blame on the queen mother was one of their common tactic.
…
"Your Majesty, Chunhe has been captured." Madam Yang ran back to Concubine Shu with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, Concubine Shu looked up at her and asked, "When did it happen?"
"Just now." Nanny Yang frowned: "It seems that something happened outside the palace."
She worriedly asked, "Will they find us?"
She was visibly panicking.
Concubine Shu glanced at her and said coldly, "Are you scared now? I warned you not to act rashly."
She exhaled: "How did it suddenly get exposed?"
Nanny Yang didn't know either. The palace has been under strict surveillance recently, and their news cannot be spread so easily.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Chunhe won't tell anyone about us. Even if she does, I will bear the blame alone." Nanny Yang said with her eyes closed.
Concubine Shu shook her head. The emperor had remained silent about Han Yun's matter before, and never came to question her afterwards. Concubine Shu felt that something was not right. If Nanny Yang was found out again, she would be completely exposed.
"Notify our people to get ready, time is running out." Concubine Shu said with a serious look.
Nanny Yang nodded.
At this time, a palace maid came in to report.
"My lady, the prince is here."
What is Prince Duan doing here at this time?
Concubine Shu: "Let him in."
Prince Duan looked a little decadent, his beard had grown out, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot. He looked at Concubine Shu, but did not salute, and he was no longer as warm as before.
"Why are you here suddenly?" Concubine Shu asked with a frown.
Prince Duan looked at her, which made Concubine Shu feel very nervous. He then said, "Mother, I was in Ningxiang Tower last night..."
Concubine Shu was startled: "You?"
Prince Duan recounted what happened last night in general.
Then he looked at Concubine Shu and asked, "Mother, is Fifth Brother Han Yun's son?"
