Chapter
King Rui didn't expect that the prince's legitimate grandson was Chu Xiuyuan. Shouldn't he hide the people tightly? And he also heard that Chu Xiuyuan led his troops to the barbarians more than once... King Rui was so impatient. This was the prince's legitimate grandson, the precious prince's legitimate grandson, the prince's legitimate grandson who would not have died...
Wait, the prince and his grandson treat them like this, what if they were themselves?
Let him go to war with the barbarians? Or fight with the British prince?
Chu Xiuyuan looked at King Rui who was about to faint with some confusion, and looked at Zhao Duan beside him. Zhao Duan couldn't understand his brother-in-law, so he just shook his head slightly. Chu Xiuyuan simply stopped thinking about it and began to whisper to discuss business with Zhao Duan. When King Rui himself reacted, he looked at Chu Xiuyuan's side face and suddenly said, "You and your grandfather really don't look like you."
If this was heard by people who were not familiar with King Rui, they would probably think that King Rui was not saying good things. Chu Xiuyuan and Shen Jin had been having sex with King Rui for so long and had been with King Rui for a while, so naturally they knew that King Rui was just saying such a thing, "Yes, I look more like my mother."
"Your mother?" asked King Rui.
Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "My father is the second son of the emperor's grandfather, and his mother is from the Chu family."
King Rui nodded. Chu Xiuyuan was really Chu Xiuming's cousin, "Dongdong looks like your grandfather."
Chu Xiuyuan responded, and King Rui didn't know what to say to Chu Xiuyuan. He only looked at Chu Xiuyuan for a long time before sighing and saying, "You are very good."
Zhao Duan didn't say anything. He would come with him just to beware of what King Rui said inappropriately. Now it seems that he can rest assured. Thanks to Chu Xiuyuan's good temperament, if it were the same as Emperor Cheng's personality, King Rui would have offended people by these few words.
King Rui said, "My mother...had a last resort. You will sit on the throne in the future..."
"I know." Chu Xiuyuan knew what King Rui meant and spoke, "Great-grandmother is still great-grandmother."
King Rui nodded, "Okay, I'm leaving. If you know anything in the future, I won't come to the daily meeting room."
In the palace, Shen Jin has been pregnant for more than three months. If someone familiar with Shen Jin takes a closer look, he will find that her belly is actually slightly pregnant. If someone is not familiar with him, he will probably not notice this. What's more, when he first learned that he might be pregnant, Shen Jin has already started to get used to wearing looser clothes. In addition, she has grown a lot taller. At first glance, she doesn't think it's a problem with the clothes. Instead, she looks like she has lost a lot of weight, so she looks loose. This is exactly the little trick An Yi helped to arrange. She did not let go of her clothes at once, but put it a little bit, and then slightly changed the rest, subtly causing Shen Jin to lose weight day by day.
When Princess Ruyang arrived, she looked at Shen Jin's appearance and sighed in her heart that even with the protection of the queen mother, Shen Jin's life in the palace would not be easy. Shen Jin seemed to be unaware of it, and still smiled brightly, "Cousin, please sit down."
"Yeah." Princess Ruyang said, "If you want to use something, just let the kitchen do it. If there is no, tell me and I will find a way to get it for you."
When Princess Ruyang sat down, she sat next to her. Naturally, she took a cushion and hugged it in her arms. Then she leaned lazily on the other cushion, "I know." Shen Jin has always been a very careful person. Even if she knew that Princess Ruyang had not discovered her situation, she would hide it. When she sat down, "I don't know how the border town is now."
Princess Ruyang didn't know that she had lost a lot of weight. After all, she was worried about the prince consort and the children. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Chen Jin when she heard this, but at the same time she understood that she had to protect Chen Jin, "Father, a few days ago..."
As if she was chatting, Princess Ruyang told Chen Jin about the news she found. Chen Jin looked at the scenery outside the window casually and responded from time to time. Princess Ruyang didn't know whether Chen Jin was interested in it, but that's all she could do. She couldn't let her send messages to the border town by herself, "I heard from my mother that the emperor's grandmother left Beijing to pray for the Apocalypse."
"Oh?" Chen Jin looked at Princess Ru Yang in surprise, "It's very dangerous outside. Who knows where the prince of the British prince has gone. The safest place should be the palace."
Princess Ruyang carefully observed Chen Jin's expression and said, "Father seems to be a little moved."
Chen Jin frowned without saying a word, Princess Ruyang continued, "The emperor's grandmother's meaning seems to be taking you, Chen Rong."
"I don't want to leave Beijing." Chen Jin pursed his lips and said, "My husband asked me to wait for him in the palace."
Princess Ruyang shook her head and said, "It depends on the meaning of the father and the emperor's grandmother. The mother can't speak with her father." In fact, the queen agreed to the empress dowager leaving the capital. In that case, some things would be convenient.
Chen Jin didn't say anything, Princess Ruyang asked, "By the way, have you seen Chen Rong?"
"No." Chen Jin was obviously still thinking about leaving Beijing and said absent-mindedly.
Princess Ruyang said with some displeasure, "How come she is a sister?"
Chen Jin opened his mouth, "We don't have a good relationship."
Princess Ruyang didn't say anything else, but talked to Chen Jin about something else. Chen Jin was indeed in her heart, but it was not what Princess Ruyang thought. Leaving Beijing was a good opportunity for Chen Jin. What's more, Yue Wen and others did not return to the border city, but were hiding around the capital. As long as they left the palace, Chen Jin could find an opportunity to leave the capital secretly. Her purpose had been achieved. Chen Jin came to the capital as a hostage, but not as a hostage for Emperor Cheng, but for the people of the world to see. If Chen Jin disappeared, even if Emperor Cheng suspected Chu Xiuming, how many people would believe this?
After all, Chen Jin came on the initiative, not Emperor Cheng demanded it strongly.
The most important point is that Xu Yuan should succeed. If Xu Yuan succeeds, then Emperor Cheng will never let Chen Jin leave the palace, because it means that the strength of the Prince of Ying is weakened. Although Chu Xiuming's strength remains unchanged, it has the upper hand. Even if Emperor Cheng is willing to join forces with Prince of Ying to deal with Chu Xiuming, the two of them will not be Chu Xiuming's opponents. As long as Chu Xiuming does not take the initiative, it will be foolproof. The cooperation between Emperor Cheng and Prince of Ying can only be short-term and cannot be long-term cooperation, because neither the ministers nor the people will be willing.
As long as Emperor Cheng dares to contact the prince of the King of Ying, those aristocratic families will dare to surrender to Chu Xiuming. After all, Emperor Cheng does not hate the prince of the King of Ying, because without the King of Ying, Emperor Cheng cannot take the throne. The aristocratic families and many ministers have a deep hatred for the King of Ying. Who has not died at the hands of the King of Ying? The soldiers that King of Ying brought in the first place harmed people a lot.
Now the aristocratic family has not said anything, but they are unable to figure out the strength of the Prince of Ying. When they find out that Chu Xiuming has weakened the Prince of Ying and even sent his wife to the capital to serve as a stake, how will they demand Emperor Cheng? Even if he is forced, he will force Emperor Cheng to fight Prince of Ying. What if Chen Jin suddenly disappears at this delicate time? I am afraid that everyone will not suspect that Chen Jin ran away by himself, but Emperor Cheng is more concerned about Chu Xiuming, thus hiding Chen Jin, or the Prince of Ying takes all his bets against Chen Jin...
What we have to do now is to find a way to leave the capital before the news came from the Prince of England. If it weren't for what Princess Ruyang said today, Chen Jin wouldn't have thought of this. Now she is taking advantage of the situation. In fact, after all, why did the Empress Dowager want to take Chen Jinli with Jing? Naturally, because Chen Jin was pregnant, it was discovered that Emperor Cheng could not protect him, which dragged King Rui to the throne. The Empress Dowager must have efforts.
Princess Ruyang discovered Chen Jin's distractedness, but did not take it seriously. Finally, she comforted her, "Don't think so much, I'll go back and talk to my mother and find a way to stay for you."
Chen Jin lowered his eyes slightly and nodded, "The Prince of England is elusive. If I leave the palace, I am afraid he will not let me go. I am the princess in the palace, and Your Majesty is also my uncle. With the care of the Prince of England, it will be natural that it will be fine. If it falls into the hands of the Prince of England..."
Princess Ruyang also understood what Chen Jin meant and said, "Don't worry."
Chen Jin nodded. Princess Ruyang came here to test Chen Jin today. Now that she got the answer, she didn't leave much, so she said goodbye first and went back to talk to the queen. In fact, Princess Ruyang was also contradictory. On the one hand, she would tell Chen Jin about the news in Jingcheng because the prince consort and the child were in Chu Xiuming's hands, but on the other hand, she helped the queen test Chen Jin, because she understood what her mother said that she is now a princess, but not the only daughter of Emperor Cheng. If her younger brother became the emperor and her mother was the queen mother, then her identity would be different. So... While secretly betraying Emperor Cheng, Princess Ruyang also betrayed Chen Jin for her own interests.
When Princess Ruyang said goodbye, Chen Jin went to see him off in person. Princess Ruyang went directly to the queen's palace, described Chen Jin's expression carefully, and said, "I see that Chen Jin's complexion is not very good, and I really don't know about this, I'm afraid it's the empress dowager's own decision."
"But why?" the queen frowned.
Princess Ruyang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it was for King Rui. After all, King Rui is also the Empress Dowager's biological son. Now no one knows where King Rui is. The Empress Dowager is suspected to be in Chu Xiuming's hands, and is afraid that Chu Xiuming will hand over King Rui to Emperor Cheng for Chen Jin. So those who are waiting for King Rui are afraid..." Princess Ruyang did not finish speaking, and the queen also understood, "So the Empress Dowager wanted Chen Jin to be in her hands, and she could negotiate with Chu Xiuming at a critical moment to protect King Rui."
The queen also understood, "And Chen Jin was not wrong with being greedy. In the capital, she was the wife of the Marquis of Yongning and the princess, but it was nothing if it fell into the hands of the Prince of Ying. What if King Rui was in the hands of the Prince of Ying, would the Queen Mother send Chen Jin to exchange for King Rui for the safety of King Rui?"
"I'm afraid it will." Princess Ruyang said after thinking for a while.
The queen nodded and Princess Ruyang asked, "Mother, what should I do?"
"What should I do?" the queen said indifferently, "This is all the decisions of Emperor Cheng and the Queen Mother, not mine... Let the Queen Mother leave the palace as soon as possible!"
Princess Ruyang narrowed her eyes and nodded, "Yes."
The queen thought for a moment. If there was no queen mother, some things would be much more convenient, and she would only have one son left. This son was all her hope. When the eldest son died, the queen was full of hatred.
