Chapter 326 Chu Yunqing is favored
They were heading towards the capital at a leisurely pace, but they didn't know that many disturbances had occurred in the capital during their absence.
Prince Jin fell to his death on Duanyun Mountain in Qiangdi, and his body was never found. Chu Yian was an eyewitness to this incident.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Defeng was so shocked that he fell ill and even stopped attending court for several days.
Soon after, the epidemic in the city broke out again.
There was something wrong with the prescription written by the old doctor Jiang, which caused the people and soldiers to be possessed by evil spirits.
Fortunately, Zhao Shuning took action and turned the tide, finally bringing the epidemic under control.
That’s not all, worse things are about to happen.
General Gu Qishan of Zhenxi was framed by his disciple Ge Xubai and beheaded on his horse, leaving no trace of his body.
These bad news came one after another, making people worry about the situation in Xiping.
If the Xiping border is unstable, the lives of the people inside the pass will be in danger, and Emperor Defeng will also be unable to sleep peacefully.
Emperor Defeng was in a bad mood, and everyone behaved themselves, no one dared to offend him.
Of course, some people were secretly happy.
The happiest one among them was Xiao Yanqing.
Xiao Yanci was his biggest thorn in the eye. Now that this thorn in the eye had been removed, how could he not be happy?
Chu Yian made great contributions, and Zhao Shuning did not disappoint him. During that period, Xiao Yanqing often stayed in Chu Yunqing's yard, giving her considerable respect.
Lu Shiyin was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, but she didn't dare to do it easily. If she made Xiao Yanqing unhappy, she could only cause her some trouble that was not too painful.
When the news reached Jiang's ears, he couldn't explain his feelings for a moment.
Chu Yian's contribution was in secret, and he did not make any contribution in public. But Zhao Shuning's contribution was in public, and it was real.
Jiang hoped that the Marquis' Mansion would also benefit from Zhao Shuning's achievements, but she also didn't want to see her smug look, so she felt a little complicated.
But in the final analysis, most people are happy.
This daughter-in-law does have some real abilities.
Chu Yunqing was a concubine. Generally speaking, a concubine was not qualified to go home to visit her parents, but Xiao Yanqing was in a good mood, so he made the decision to allow her to go home to visit her parents.
This first honor made Chu Yunqing even more proud.
As a result, Li Yunshang, who had always been calm, was so angry that she smashed a set of tea sets.
Jiang took her daughter's hand, looked her up and down, and asked her in detail about her situation in the palace.
Chu Yunqing was very concerned about her reputation and did not mention the past neglect. She only talked about how Xiao Yanqing doted on her, which made Jiang smile from ear to ear.
"My son is a blessed man. He will be extremely noble in the future."
Finally, he added, "In my opinion, Lu Zhiran is a jinx who brings bad luck to her husband. When she was in our mansion before, she didn't help An'er at all. Now, she has even brought death to Prince Jin. I want to see who dares to marry her in the future."
At the end of her speech, Jiang's tone was filled with undisguised gloating.
Chu Yunqing also smiled with his eyes curved.
"She thought she had soared to fame and fortune. Little did she know that in the end, everything was in vain. She must be hiding in her yard crying right now."
If she can't become Princess Jin, what future does she have?
From now on, whenever she sees me, she will have to kowtow and bow to me.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunqing felt happy.
The mother and daughter got together and mocked Lu Zhiran harshly, and had a very pleasant chat.
Finally, Jiang said, "Qing'er, Zhao is indeed quite capable. Our mansion will have to rely on her in the future. You need to be more polite to her in the future. Don't be as harsh as before."
Although Jiang was a little unhappy, she still put profit first.
If Zhao Shuning is really that capable, it would be beneficial for them to live in peace with her.
Chu Yunqing snorted coldly, "No matter how capable she is, you are still her mother-in-law, and I am the concubine of the King of Wu. How dare she put on airs in front of me?"
Seeing her attitude, Jiang frowned slightly.
Jiang knew her daughter's personality very well.
Once she gets proud, she tends to lose her composure.
The current situation in Prince Wu's Mansion is still unknown. She is too complacent and is afraid that something unexpected will happen.
Jiang could only earnestly persuade her to restrain her temper, and finally said: "The King of Wu is so fond of you this time, I'm afraid it is also because of Zhao's meritorious service."
Unexpectedly, Chu Yunqing snorted coldly after hearing this, "It's not because of her. The prince is remembering my brother's contribution."
Jiang's face was filled with confusion. "What do you mean by that? Didn't your brother accomplish any great feat this time?"
Chu Yunqing lowered his voice slightly, "Your Highness accidentally let it slip. Brother has made a great contribution this time, and it's a great contribution."
Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up. "Really? Then, if that's the case, why hasn't anyone claimed credit for him? Could it be that his credit has been taken away by someone else?"
Chu Yunqing: "Because his achievements cannot be known to others."
She leaned close to Jiang's ear and whispered something, and Jiang's heart skipped a beat.
“This, this…”
It turns out that Prince Jin died at the hands of his own son?
"Qing'er, you must not talk nonsense about this. Are you really sure?"
Chu Yunqing nodded firmly, "Nine out of ten times, it's correct."
Although the prince did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was obvious.
Although she was not smart, she was not stupid either. When she thought about the whole matter, she became more and more certain of her guess.
Compared with Zhao Shuning's insignificant contribution, eliminating Prince Jin, a serious threat, is the greatest achievement.
She was favored because of her brother's influence. What did it have to do with Zhao Shuning? Chu Yunqing didn't want to humble herself to please Zhao Shuning.
Jiang's mind was racing, and she slowly sorted out her thoughts and calmed her mind.
In the future, if King Wu ascends the throne, An'er will be a great contributor.
If Qing'er could give birth to a grandson, their Chu family would be able to completely change its status!
Jiang warned Chu Yunqing, "Don't mention this to anyone."
"I know the seriousness of it."
The King of Wu has not yet taken that position. If even a word of this matter is leaked, the good days of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will be over.
In the palace, Concubine Li was also in a good mood.
Even if Xiao Yanci died, she would still be able to eat one more bowl of rice.
Thinking of something, he asked again, "How is Xiyan Palace doing?"
With her only son gone, Concubine Rou must be crying herself to death!
The palace maid went to inquire immediately, but found that the door of Xiyan Palace was closed and found nothing else.
Concubine Li slowly stroked her hair.
"She must be hiding in the house crying."
At this time, Concubine Rou did not hide and cry as they wished.
Her face was tense and her eyes were filled with worry, but she didn't shed a tear.
Jinse was filled with worry, "My Lady, if you feel bad, just cry it out."
Concubine Rou shook her head, her tone firm, "No, I believe Aci will be fine, and Gu Qishan will be fine too. Unless I receive the news sent back by Han Yi, I won't believe it."
If anything happened to them, Concubine Rou felt that she would definitely feel it.
Just like when Xiao Yanci got into trouble, Concubine Rou had a dream at night.
Recently, Concubine Rou hasn't had that kind of dream again.
Somehow, she felt that their situation had taken a turn for the better and they would be safe.
