Chapter 84
In fact, just like what King Rui himself said, the guards of the capital really dare not check him carefully. After all, King Rui is the only alive brother of Emperor Cheng, and Emperor Cheng personally ordered him to leave the capital. Emperor Cheng didn't know the news that Chu Xiuming came to the capital, so Chu Xiuming sat in Princess Rui's carriage and left the capital openly.
But before they arrived in Chuyuan, they learned a news that surprised everyone. The Prince of Ying actually heard news that there was a news about the late emperor's prince's legitimate grandson.
King Rui's face changed again and again before he whispered, "This is true."
Chu Xiuming also frowned and did not speak. Could it be that Prince Ying knew about Chu Xiuyuan's life experience?
Zhao Qi's face was also a little ugly, and Princess Rui smiled and said, "Who knows whether what he said is true or false, let alone who can guarantee that that person is true? If you really want to be shocked, why not say that it is the prince's legitimate son? It's just that someone knows the prince's legitimate son and the princess remember the appearance of the prince and the princess. Now it's reasonable to say that he is a grandson."
Chu Xiuming also smiled and said, "Father-in-law, do you think Your Majesty will leave such a handle?"
King Rui thought that even the family members who had served the prince had not let go, let alone the descendants of the prince, "That's right." But after saying that, he looked at Chu Xiuming in surprise.
Princess Rui poured a cup of tea for Prince Rui, and then said, "Does the prince think that the third son-in-law doesn't know the past?"
King Rui was embarrassed to nod, but he really thought so. Chu Xiuming said, "The prince's concubine was also my cousin."
"Then you..." King Rui looked at Chu Xiuming with some hesitation.
Chu Xiuming spoke, "My Chu family has always protected the country and people of Tianqi."
King Rui didn't know what to say, Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly, covering the emotions in his eyes, "My father and brother knew they were going to die, but they still went there. They just wanted to make peace in the world and the people live and work in peace, and they had no complaints until they died."
But those were all the ideas of his father and brother, but Chu Xiuming never thought so. Chu Xiuming only felt that the blood debt was to be paid for by blood, but Chu Xiuming would not tell King Rui about these.
When talking about Chu Xiuming's father's death, Emperor Cheng felt a little embarrassed. After all, Chu Xiuming's father's death was a bit strange at that time, including Emperor Cheng's work, but King Rui didn't know much, so he couldn't hide his shame and said, "It's my Shen family that I'm sorry to the Chu family." Compared with the righteousness of the Chu family, Emperor Cheng's thoughts were too despicable. Even if they were brothers, King Rui didn't like this brother very much. When he was young, he liked to play in the prince's uterus, or be taken by the sixth prince and other brothers. He still remembered that the Crown Princess would prepare gold silk rolls and rose candy for them.
At that time, the late emperor was in poor health and rarely cared about their young princes. They only met the prince. They were all taught by the prince himself. The prince was already in charge of the country at that time, but no matter how busy he was, he would come to the study to teach them homework every day. In addition to them, the prince's eldest son also studied in the study, and his second son had just entered school.
This is why after Emperor Cheng ascended the throne, he was the only one left of all his brothers. King Rui still remembers that at that time, his fifth and sixth brothers rushed into the prince's mansion with his personal guards, trying to rescue the prince's concubine and nephew, but was eventually shot to death by arrows. The fire that night ignited from the prince's palace...
It seemed that everything changed overnight. King Rui was full of energy at that time and came to see his mother. The mother asked him to be in the inner room, but he didn't expect King Rui to secretly listen to Emperor Cheng and the mother's words.
King Rui still remembered Emperor Cheng's expression at that time, which was ferocious and terrifying. He excitedly spoke about the death of his father, the death of the prince, the death of the prince's concubine, and the death of so many brothers.
Even the fourth prince was killed by Emperor Cheng because he was angry and scolded Emperor Cheng.
It seemed that from that moment on, King Rui understood that Emperor Cheng was just Emperor Cheng, so when he was young, the prince praised the intelligent King Rui, who was becoming more and more mediocre and absurd.
Neither Emperor Cheng nor the Empress Dowager had any comments on this, and he no longer went to the study room, nor did he want to learn from his master. If he hadn't had a good foundation when he was a child, he would have probably been developed to be careless of human life, and not like this now, he was just a playboy.
Sometimes King Rui will forget these things, I really think that this drama is so confused.
Maybe it was because he left the capital, or maybe it was because the prince of the Ying Dynasty mentioned the descendants of the prince, King Rui couldn't help but remember the past.
When he saw his father and the prince again, only the cold corpses left that had been cleaned. The late emperor and the prince were both poisoned to death by Emperor Cheng, and the remaining brothers...
In fact, Emperor Cheng sometimes wondered if he hadn't been locked up in the house by his mother at that time, but had seen the prince die with his own eyes, would he be like other brothers, and would he be dead like those brothers?
Princess Rui would not know. What he said to his mother to marry Princess Rui. The reason why Princess Rui forgot, maybe because the princess smiled and said to him softly, Xiao Liu now has a lover, just wait for you to grow up, and his sister-in-law will definitely show you what she likes...
If the prince was still there, wouldn’t he be so wise that he would not be as good as he is now?
After all, although the prince loved them, he attached great importance to their homework. At that time, the prince told them that our Shen family was a royal family and that when enjoying the worship of the people, he should also protect all the people.
Chu Xiuming and the others looked at King Rui who was silent and looked at each other. Zhao Qi said, "So what are you going to do now?"
"Return to Chuyuan." Princess Rui said, "Even if the descendants of the prince appear, the one who should be in a dilemma is Emperor Cheng."
"If there are really descendants of the prince..." King Rui paused and continued, "I just hope I won't be raised by the prince of the British." Then even the descendants of the prince will be deposed.
Princess Rui looked at Prince Rui in confusion and said, "Prince, can it be..."
King Rui was not saying anything, and everyone did not ask again when they saw this. However, Chu Xiuming saw the nostalgia in King Rui's eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although King Rui was soft and confused, he was much better than Emperor Cheng today. Even if King Rui ascended the throne, he would not have caused the Tianqi to be in trouble with internal and external troubles as he did now.
When he was resting in the evening, King Rui whispered to Princess Rui, "Actually, the prince is a very good person."
Princess Rui said softly, "Why did the prince suddenly remember these things?"
King Rui sighed, "My brothers are also very good, but it's a pity. Is this what luck mean? Will the heavens perish? Is my apocalypse?"
Princess Rui's heart trembled violently when she heard King Rui's words. She pursed her lips so that her voice would not tremble. She comforted her, "Prince, don't be so pessimistic, and there is still the prince here."
"I?" King Rui said, "No, Princess, are you talking about the descendants of the prince true or false?"
"I don't know either." Princess Rui's voice was soft.
King Rui sighed again, but Concubine Rui Wan closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
In the border town, when they learned the news, everyone's eyes looked at Chen Jin were a little subtle. If they guessed one or two things correctly, it would be a coincidence. However, now, whether Chen Jin talks about Emperor Cheng or Prince Ying, it is almost right. The only thing that is not sure is the matter between Jiangnan and Nanjing. However, everyone also thinks that the Prince Ying regards Jiangnan as a wallet, it is very credible.
Chen Jin drank warm brown sugar ginger water and watched everyone staring at him inexplicably. Madam Zhao asked directly, "Madam is very accurate in thinking about Emperor Cheng and Prince Ying. They are just surprised and worshipped."
Manager Zhao also said, "How did the madam guess? But what are the rules?"
Chen Jin thought for a while and thought that she seemed to be right, "I just said it casually." After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out how she guessed it, it seemed like that was the guess.
General Manager Wang suddenly said, "Mrs. I said that the prince of the British was in poor health..." Everyone narrowed their eyes when they heard this.
Zhao Duan said, "Do you want to inquire from this aspect?" Although it is still difficult to find out, it is much easier to find out after you have the direction than to inquire aimlessly.
Manager Zhao nodded and said, "I'll go and arrange it later."
Chen Jin was stunned and said, "I just said it casually."
Manager Zhao smiled and said, "Is it true that my wife has a good relationship with them?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Jin stared at Manager Zhao in horror, "That would be too terrifying!" She didn't want this at all!
Seeing Chen Jin's appearance, Madam Zhao glared at Manager Zhao fiercely before comforting her, "Madam, don't listen to their nonsense. This is because her wife is extremely intelligent. They can't guess it's just because of her stupid qualifications."
Mr. Wang, who was dull in qualifications, looked at each other, and was a little amused and crying, holding a grudge against Madam Zhao? They dared not, and held a grudge against Madam Zhao. They had nothing to do with Madam, so they all held grudge against Manager Zhao. After reading so many books, they read to Dogs and couldn't even say anything.
Manager Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm talking nonsense."
"It doesn't matter, people make mistakes and horses make horses lose their hooves." Chen Jin comforted, "Actually, I thought about it, maybe because we are relatives."
Everyone didn't react for a moment, and Chen Jin explained, "You just asked me how I guessed it? I think it might be because Emperor Cheng and Prince Ying are relatives, so I think the same thing?"
It feels a bit irrefutable.
Chen Jin continued, "Because I am of the same generation as Prince Ying, I have a relatively consistent idea. Emperor Cheng is much older after all. In fact, if it were me, I would not have recognized the identity of Prince Ying at the beginning, just say that he was pretending."
General Manager Wang frowned and said, "In this way, although the ministers all know the identity of the Prince of England, ordinary people don't know it."
Zhao Duan also felt that although Chen Jin's method was rough, he had to say that he directly blocked the next plan of the Prince of England. Emperor Cheng scolded the Prince of England in this way and recognized the identity of the Prince of England, which was not conducive to him.
"But why hasn't the Prince of England been deployed yet?" Chen Jin asked in confusion.
Mr. Wang and others discussed this matter together, and Wen Yan said, "I'm afraid I'm waiting for something."
"And the case that the Prince of England said that he knew the news of the prince's legitimate grandson... is it true or false?" Manager Zhao was worried about this.
Manager Wang said, "I'm afraid it's fake."
Zhao Duan frowned and said, "Do you want to blame the general?"
"Actually, that's not considered a scapegoat." Chen Jin asked hesitantly, because there was indeed a prince's and grandson on their side. If they denied it this time and had already announced Chu Xiuyuan's identity, it would probably make people feel that they were not honest enough.
It is indeed not considered a scapegoat, but they all dared to be sure that the Prince of Ying could not know, because even Zhao Duan and the others guessed the identity of that person after they arrived at the border town, and they were even more surprised by Chu Xiuming's boldness.
Manager Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's better to start first."
Zhao Duan said, "I think the prince of the British will bring the so-called prince's legitimate grandson with him. This is the orthodox. In this name, some ministers will hesitate."
"Yes." Manager Zhao also said, "but I'm afraid that when his prince's grandson comes out, those who come out later will suffer losses."
General Manager Wang nodded and said, "Unless there is iron proof." They had no evidence in their hands. After all, in order to make Emperor Cheng believe that all the descendants of the prince could not escape, they did not take out the jade plaques representing the identity of the royal family."
Chen Jin suddenly thought that Chu Xiuming had chosen to go to Beijing at this time. Could it be that after learning about the Prince of Ying, he thought of these things? He bit his lip and said, "If it doesn't work, I will imitate one at that time."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned and looked at Chen Jin, and then they heard Chen Jin say, "No one can tell whether it is true or not, anyway, no one can tell whether the true or not. With the identity of his husband, it makes people feel credible that the prince of the King of England protects the descendants of the prince is credible or is it that the Chu family sacrificed their lives to protect the descendants of the prince?"
After saying this, General Manager Wang also spoke, "This can also explain why Emperor Cheng is so taboo to the Chu family."
Manager Zhao also nodded, "Not only that, but also the prince's concubine was a member of the Chu clan, and some things are true."
Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes, "My brother-in-law is about to arrive in Chuyuan. At that time, I will borrow his ID card for use and find a skilled craftsman. I don't believe that I can't just use fakes to make the real ones."
Seeing that everyone had already discussed the matter with one word, Chen Jin stopped talking about it, and Madam Zhao said, "I still have a few relics of the Crown Princess."
After the matter was discussed, everyone left and went to work elsewhere. Chen Jin took Mama Zhao to the main courtyard. She left Anping and An Ning with Dongdong, and only Mama Zhao was brought with her.
"Madam, does Xiuyuan look like the prince?" Chen Jin asked curiously.
Mama Zhao thought for a while and said, "It's not like it, but the Major General is more like the Chu family." That is, she looks more like her mother.
Chen Jin nodded and said, "It's safe."
Madam Zhao nodded and Chen Jin asked, "What kind of person is the Crown Princess?"
"Crown Princess." Madam Zhao was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, the Crown Princess is very good, just like Princess Rui and her wife are combined." She is smart and kind.
Chen Jin sighed when he heard this, "What a pity."
Madam Zhao responded, "The Crown Princess actually likes to laugh."
"The Crown Princess must be both beautiful and intelligent." Chen Jin sighed. With her beauty and the intelligence of Princess Rui, such a woman is really rare.
Madam Zhao looked at Chen Jin after hearing this. In fact, the Crown Princess looks just average, but she is particularly happy when she smiles, and even the people around her will feel comfortable.
When Chen Jin went back, he saw Dongdong playing with Xiaobudian. It should be said that Xiaobudian was playing with Dongdong. Dongdong practiced turning over on the thick stall. When he had no strength to turn over, he saw Xiaobudian, who had been lazily lying beside him, stretching out his big claws and pulling it, helping Dongdong with one claw. When Dongdong was sitting, the whole dog was nestled behind him, so that Dongdong could lean against it.
Seeing Chen Jin, Dongdong patted his hands and kept whining, and Xiaobudian also whined.
In fact, at the beginning, the wet nurse was not willing to get close to Dongdong when Chen Jin was away, but she was afraid that Xiaobudian would seriously hurt Dongdong. Chen Jin observed for a while and directly ordered the wet nurse not to stop Xiaobudian from playing with Dongdong, because Xiaobudian was very good at being trained. Except for An Ning, An Ping and others, they would not let others get close to Xiaobudian at all. Even the wet nurse was close to Xiaobudian, so it had to keep a guard all over.
Not only that, the thing is not serious now. That time, I pulled off Xiaobudian's hair. Xiaobudian just squeezed his tail in pain, but he didn't struggle or bite the thing like others worried about. Instead, he rubbed the thing with his big head.
Chen Jin carried Dongdong into his arms, then smiled and kissed him in the face, "The little villain bullied Xiaobud again."
When he heard his name, Xiao Bud turned his head and said, "Ao Woo?"
"Little Buddian is so good." Chen Jin reached out and touched Xiao Buddian's big head, and said with a smile.
Zhao Duan did not write a letter, but instead directly found a Zhao family's child and prepared some specialties from the border town for him to send them back to his home. Not only that, he also brought a message to his father Zhao Ru, and only mentioned the jade plaque of King Rui's identity. I think Zhao Ru would understand what he meant.
Yongle Hou Zi and Shen Qi did not leave with King Rui, but chose to stay in the capital, but sent the wet nurse and Shuangqiao to take their daughters to follow King Rui's family.
Nowadays, Concubine Chen takes care of her two children, but in fact, it doesn’t require Concubine Chen to work hard. After all, these two children are not only nurses, but also maids and mother-in-laws. If these people can be brought out at this time, they are naturally all confidants, and they dare not be negligent at all.
Moreover, everything has its own division of labor. Every time you take care of your children, you will not be alone. It does not make people too hard, and it has a sense of mutual supervision.
Concubine Chen didn't feel tired. She took her children in the carriage every day. Concubine Chen and her two children's carriage were even more comfortable than those of King Rui and Princess Rui.
However, Concubine Chen was a little worried, because Chu Xiuming was actually with them, so what should she do with her daughter? Is the border town safe? But although Chen Jin is her daughter and Chu Xiuming is Chen Jin's husband, she could not call Chu Xiuming in directly, and she needed to avoid suspicion.
Both Princess Rui and Chu Xiuming are careful people. Although Chu Xiuming did not explain to Concubine Chen personally, he also asked Princess Rui to appease Concubine Chen. If we count it, the border town is really safer.
Because King Rui was thinking about the news that Prince Ying had heard of the news of the prince's legitimate grandson, he was silent all the time. When it was Chu Yuan, King Rui calmed down. He might have not seen his father-in-law for a long time, so he was inevitably more attentive.
Zhao Ru's attitude towards King Rui was quite gentle. He did not ask King Rui about his knowledge, but instead talked to King Rui. Because King Rui liked antiques and toys, he told King Rui a lot of these things. King Rui breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.
However, the Prince of Ying seemed to be in conflict with King Rui. Before King Rui could be happy for two days, the Prince of Ying actually directly called King Rui's name and even directly questioned that Emperor Cheng had not yet appointed a crown prince, so whether he wanted to make King Rui the crown prince.
The Prince of Ying may feel that what he did was not guilty enough, so he immediately questioned that King Rui left Beijing with his family this time, was it because Emperor Cheng was preparing to start the 37th year of Yongjia, so King Rui ran away early?
What happened in the 37th year of Yongjia? Not only did the people who were officials outside have vague speculations in their hearts, but even many people began to wonder about the 37th year of Yongjia. Although twenty-six or seven years have passed, because the 27th year of Yongjia is too big, not only the threat of barbarians, but also the British king's troops arrived in the capital, the fire in the palace, the death knives of the late emperor, the funeral of the crown prince and many princes, Emperor Cheng ascended the throne...
The people in the capital who know the situation better than those from other places were the people. Although no one dared to say anything for a while, the atmosphere was already a little wrong.
As a result, King Rui was pushed to the front of people. Apart from that earthquake, King Rui was known to everyone for the second time, but unfortunately it was not a good thing.
When everyone thought that the Prince of Ying would continue to talk about the prince's legitimate grandson, who knew that the Prince of Ying actually started to talk about King Rui.
Not only Princess Rui and Chu Xiuming were all confused by the prince of Ying.
King Rui's face turned pale, and he looked at Zhao Ru and asked, "Father-in-law, what should I do?"
Zhao Ru looked at King Rui and said, "If you return to Beijing now, there will be absolutely no problem in your life."
But he will just live well, and I'm afraid it's hard to say anything more. After all, the Prince of Ying mentioned the matter of the Crown Brother. Even if King Rui didn't have this idea, would Emperor Cheng believe it?
The Prince of Ying has actually blocked all the roads for King Rui. If the Prince of Ying had something to do and wanted to cooperate with King Rui, then King Rui had offended the Prince of Ying. So now the Prince of Ying is taking revenge on King Rui, and King Rui is now in a dilemma.
Zhao Ru looked at King Rui. Of course, he didn't want King Rui to go back. After all, King Rui had to go back, and his daughter had to go back. In the situation in the capital, King Rui might have lost his freedom when he went back.
At this time, Emperor Cheng overturned the table in the empress dowager and said angrily, "It's all you, something happened now! Call him back to me! Write a letter to my good brother, call me back, the prince..."
太后看着儿子,手指紧紧捻着佛珠,“你知道,你弟弟不会如此想的.”
"I know! I only know now that you advised me to let their family leave! You are really my good mother!" Emperor Cheng looked at the Queen Mother with gloomy eyes and said coldly.
Chapter completed!
