Chapter 85
Zhao Ru looked at King Rui and continued, "Of course, you can't go back, such as being injured or assassinated."
King Rui was happy, but his face changed quickly. Looking at Zhao Ru with a serious face, he said, "If it weren't for the Crown Prince of Ying, this would be possible, but now, Emperor Cheng would only think that I was deliberately ruling."
Princess Rui and Chu Xiuming also came over. Princess Rui glanced at Princes Rui, sat beside him, and said, "Has the prince made a decision?"
Chu Xiuming also spoke, "Father-in-law, if you are willing, I will escort you and your mother-in-law to the border city. Even if Emperor Cheng issues an imperial edict to let his father-in-law go back then, I can save you."
King Rui's eyes lit up, but dimmed again, "The current situation, according to Emperor Cheng's nature... unless I die or be taken care of by him, I'm afraid I will all be implicated by my mother."
No matter what the Empress Dowager is a good person or a bad person, or what he has done, the Empress Dowager is still very good to the son of King Rui, so Emperor Cheng cannot leave his mother alone.
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything because King Rui said it well. Emperor Cheng's personality would never consider himself if he encountered setbacks and would only vent his anger on others. Then he tied King Rui to speak, so that the empress dowager who left the capital would naturally bear the brunt of the first.
In fact, there is another way now to send a son back to Beijing. The illegitimate son is not good enough, he must be a legitimate son, which means that the two children, Shen Xuan and Shen Xi, must be sent to Beijing.
Everyone thought of this, but no one was willing to mention it. Even King Rui was like this. In his mind, these two legitimate sons must inherit the legacy. If it is useful to send the concubine's son, then King Rui would not hesitate at all. Even if the legitimate daughter is useful, he hesitated at most and would choose to send Shen Qi and his wife back.
Shen Xuan is now in central Fujian and is preparing to make a career. Shen Xi is also in the border town. "What's wrong with Xi'er?" King Rui suddenly looked at Chu Xiuming and asked.
In fact, when Chu Xiuming came here, King Rui asked about this matter, but suddenly he asked again today. Princess Rui pursed her lower lip and had already guessed it in her heart, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she took a tea cup and took a sip. Zhao Ru liked to drink tea and preferred to make tea himself. The tea leaves at home were all teas grown in Zhao Ru's own garden, and then made it by himself. It was a bit bitter, but after drinking it, she left a fragrance on her mouth.
In the past, Princess Rui liked it very much, but today I feel that even my lips and tongue are bitter.
Chu Xiuming said after hearing this, "Because Brother Xi wants to go to the battlefield to make achievements, and makes his father-in-law and mother-in-law proud, my wife and I have no choice but to send him to the military camp first and let him train with the new recruits. Even if Brother Xi wants to go to the battlefield in the future, it will be a little more safe."
King Rui slowly breathed out and said, "This child is more promising than me."
Neither Zhao Ru nor Chu Xiuming nor even Princess Rui spoke. Princess Rui looked at Princess Rui and said, "The princess gave birth to two good sons for me, like me!"
As soon as these words were said, even Zhao Ru, who had always been respected, couldn't help rolling his eyes. Princess Rui was used to the words of King Rui and said, "The eagles always have to grow up, and they will fly to higher places."
King Rui glanced at Princess Rui and said, "I'll go back, third son-in-law, you escort the princess and the others back to the border town."
As soon as these words were said, Zhao Ru looked at King Rui with a little surprise. No one expected that King Rui would make such a choice. Chu Xiuming frowned and looked at King Rui and said, "Father-in-law... I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out again when I go back like this."
"I know." King Rui said, "It doesn't matter, I don't like to go out anyway."
Princess Rui smiled and said, "I will go back to Beijing with the prince and ask Concubine Chen to take her two children to the border town. She will have three sons-in-law, Jin Yatou and Xier to take care of her. I'm relieved."
King Rui looked at Princess Rui with a touching look and said, "Princess, the capital is dangerous, you should go with your third son-in-law and others."
"I said I will accompany the prince forever." Princess Rui didn't know, but since she married Prince Rui, the prince should have, Prince Rui gave her all the prince's mansion, and the entire prince's mansion was handed over to her, so even if Prince Rui did not love Prince Rui, she would not abandon Prince Rui at this time.
What's more, Princess Rui's eyes flashed, and she wanted to see Emperor Cheng get retribution with her own eyes.
Zhao Ru sighed slowly. He knew that his daughter was. Since he had made a decision, he would not regret it anymore. So he just looked at King Rui and said, "Son-in-law, I am just such a daughter, I am a little more spoiled. When I arrive in the capital, you should protect me more."
"Don't worry, father-in-law." King Rui was moved, and even his eyes turned red. He said, "She is my wife, I will definitely protect her."
Zhao Ru smiled and looked at Princess Rui and said, "Since you have chosen, I won't say much, but you have to remember that you still have your son waiting for you, and your parents waiting for you, do you know?" Zhao Ru knew about the Sixth Prince, and her daughter decided that something would not change it. Since she had identified the Sixth Prince, even if someone who was better than the Sixth Prince would not be moved again.
The sixth prince was killed by Emperor Cheng. If one day he learned that his daughter really stabbed Emperor Cheng to death, Zhao Ru would not be too surprised. However, he knew that his daughter was a person who was still alive. However, the longer he endured, the deeper the hatred in his heart.
Zhao Ru suddenly thought that if one day Chu Xiuming protected the prince's legitimate grandson and attacked the capital, he would have said that the city gate was opened by his daughter. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that this time his daughter would be a disaster and not a blessing for Emperor Cheng.
Princess Rui didn't know what Zhao Ru was thinking. She just smiled and said, "Then let Concubine Chen come over. I will tell her something. Since the prince has decided to return to Beijing, we should be early rather than late. If Emperor Cheng's imperial edict comes down, the meaning will be different."
After hearing this, King Rui nodded and said, "Then pack up now and we will leave in the next two days."
Princess Rui responded. When Chu Xiuming saw that Prince Rui and Princess Rui had decided to say nothing more. Anyway, it would be enough after he brought Concubine Chen back. However, Chu Xiuming thought of the news brought back by the Zhao family's children and said, "Father-in-law, I want to lend your jade token for a while."
King Rui looked at Chu Xiuming with a puzzled look, and Chu Xiuming spoke, "It's useful."
Princess Rui also knew about this and agreed in her heart, but she didn't expect Chu Xiuming to speak directly like this. However, after thinking about it, she understood that it was a jade plaque. If King Rui found out that he lost it, then after returning to Beijing to report, Emperor Cheng would be on guard and even guess their purpose. If King Rui took the initiative, it would be different. Prince Rui almost didn't need to use a jade plaque.
Jade plaques are very important to the royal family. In normal times, you can just use identity cards. Jade plaques can only be used in formal or important occasions, and there are very few such occasions.
Princess Rui glanced at King Rui and said, "Prince, the third son-in-law has always been a steady child, and I think it has its own purpose."
Jade plaques of different generations are also different. Jade plaques of the prince's lineage are even different from ordinary royal families. The prince's natural and the prince and the others, but in comparison, it is already the closest, and fooling people is enough.
King Rui hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "Okay."
Chu Xiuming said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhao Ru also said at this time, "When you go back, you will stay in Prince Rui's mansion and don't go out, except when you go back to see the Empress Dowager."
"I understand." King Rui said respectfully.
Zhao Ru said, "You guys wait for me here." As he said that, he got up and walked towards the inner room.
Chu Xiuming looked at King Rui and said, "Father-in-law, if there is anything difficult to deal with, please ask someone to go to Kexianju, Beijing to order a piece of their signature jade bamboo lamb meat and pay the bill with pearls."
King Rui looked at Chu Xiuming in surprise, and Chu Xiuming just said in a deep voice, "If there is anything wrong, then the people from Kexianju will take the initiative to send secret bacon to your house."
If King Rui was hesitant just now because Chu Xiuming asked for a jade plaque, he was completely willing at this time. Even if he didn't know anything, he would understand that it would be extremely difficult for Chu Xiuming and others to set up such a spy in the capital, especially Kexianju has been famous for decades. If Chu Xiuming didn't say it, no one would have thought that Kexianju was actually Chu Xiuming's.
"I understand, don't worry, third son-in-law." King Rui said.
Chu Xiuming shook his head and said nothing. Concubine Chen had already come over. Although Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, he stood up when Concubine Chen came in and sat down again after Concubine Chen took the seat.
Princess Rui looked at Concubine Chen and said, "The prince and I decided to go back to Beijing. You will follow Chu Xiuming back to the border town with you with your two children."
When Concubine Chen heard this, her expression changed. She didn't say much, but just said seriously, "Prince, don't worry, princess, I will definitely take good care of the children."
Seeing that Concubine Chen was so straightforward, King Rui felt a little uncomfortable again, so his face became much ugly. However, Princess Rui and Concubine Chen ignored him, and Chu Xiuming only thought he could not see it.
Princess Rui smiled and said, "Okay, go back and ask the maid to pack up."
"Yes." Concubine Chen said respectfully.
Princess Rui continued, "I asked someone to call Wu Yatou and Brother Hao over."
"yes."
Chu Xiuming said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, then I will say goodbye first."
King Rui heard this and said, "I will send you the jade token tonight."
Chu Xiuming nodded.
After everyone left, Princess Rui looked at Prince Rui and said, "Prince, please give Xiao Si a name, too."
King Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's just have the word Qing."
"The Yuanfang invades the ancient road, and the Qingcui connects the deserted city." Princess Rui's voice was filled with a sense of regret. It was a bit appropriate at this time, "Good name."
King Rui was stunned. In fact, he was just thinking about the rain and the sky was clear. However, when he heard Princess Rui's words, he felt that this explanation was better, so he didn't say anything.
Chen Rong and Shen Hao came together. Since leaving Beijing, the siblings have almost never separated. They have no idea what happened, and they don’t even know what Chu Xiuming came. After arriving in Chuyuan, they are almost never discharged from the hospital.
After paying homage to King Rui and Princess Rui, the two stood aside. Princess Rui said softly, "Sit down."
"Yes." The two of them sat down and Chen Hao secretly looked at King Rui. When King Rui saw Chen Hao's appearance, his expression calmed down a lot and said, "Your mother and I are going to return to Beijing. You can follow Concubine Chen and continue moving forward. Remember to be obedient?"
When Chen Rong heard this, she quickly said, "Father, my daughter wants to stay by my father's side to serve him."
In fact, if there was a choice, Chen Rong was not willing to leave Beijing at all. Now they were asked to follow Concubine Chen. Thinking about Concubine Xu's bullying Concubine Chen and the situation where their sisters bullied Chen Jin, how could Chen Rong be willing?
King Rui sighed, but he thought Chen Rong was sensible. He heard this and said, "You are obedient and follow Concubine Chen."
"I don't want it." Chen Hao shouted, "I want to go back to the capital with my father."
Princess Rui had actually expected it a long time ago. She didn't want Chen Rong to go to the border town to cause trouble for her son. Hearing this, he said, "Is there any danger in the capital?"
"The daughter wants to stay by my father's side to serve him." Chen Rong clenched this sentence.
Princess Rui said, "It's good, but I can only take one of you two siblings back to Beijing. After all, because of some things, we have to hurry on our way, and the two children will inevitably be unable to take care of them."
Chen Hao looked at Chen Rong with a gaze. Chen Rong also glanced at Chen Hao, gritted her teeth and said, "Let your younger brother follow Concubine Chen. You are a boy. You should go out and take a look."
As soon as these words were said, Chen Rong thought she was considerate, but even King Rui saw Chen Rong's true intentions, let alone Princess Rui. Although Chen Rong was a little scheming, she was still young and could not help but show some of her face.
"Since you want to follow, just follow." King Rui said with a deep expression.
Chen Hao couldn't believe his sister, "Sister, do you want me anymore?"
Chen Rong said, "I'm for your own good. You are young and you can't hold on if you rush to go."
"I'm not afraid, my father asks me to go back with you." Chen Hao looked at King Rui begging.
King Rui said, "You guys go out, and that's what we've settled."
Princess Rui said softly, "Brother Hao, don't worry, Concubine Chen will definitely take good care of you."
Chen Hao burst into tears, but when he saw King Rui's face, he didn't dare to say anything. Chen Rong saw that his goal was achieved, so he quickly pulled Chen Hao out. Anyway, Chen Hao was young, so he could just coax him.
After Chen Hao and Shen Rong left, King Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Since she wants to die, let her die. She is so scheming at a young age. Brother Hao is her own brother, and she dares to do this."
Princess Rui sighed slowly and said, "The fifth girl is not young anymore. This time she will go back to Beijing with her. I'm afraid the marriage will be difficult."
"Don't worry about her." King Rui said with a very bad tone.
Princess Rui wanted to say something else, but saw that Zhao Ru had sent someone to call them over, so she stopped talking. Zhao Ru and Zhao Qi were waiting for them in the study. When they came in, Zhao Ru put a key that looked a little old in the hand and said, "The old house in the Zhao family in the capital is under the corner of the wall. If something really happens, you can take people from there and go to a farm outside the city. But remember that you will go west immediately after you go west, and you will see an abandoned charity village. There is a dry well inside. After you go down, you will have a dark room that can hide about fifty people. I think the things you prepared at the beginning are no longer useful now. Remember to arrange people to prepare things in advance."
That secret room was the key to sending away the second son of the prince. It was originally prepared by the Zhao family for their own family, but now they have left Beijing and no longer need it. It is exactly what King Rui and Princess Rui need the most.
King Rui had already gone from the beginning to the admiration behind him and said, "I remember."
Princess Rui thought for a while and said, "I will keep Cuixi. Then my father will help us arrange a few trustworthy people, and then we will go to the charity village to arrange it."
Zhao Ru nodded after hearing this and said, "It's OK."
King Rui also knew that this was more secure and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Zhao Ru looked at King Rui and said, "Remember, you can only bring the safest ones at that time, otherwise there will be no other way out in the Yizhuang."
King Rui gritted his teeth and nodded, "Our province."
Zhao Ru looked at Princess Rui and said, "Your mother misses you, go see her and say more with her."
Princess Rui glanced at her father, then stood up and said, "Okay."
After Princess Rui left, Zhao Ru looked at King Rui, "I have a few words, I want to die and talk to you."
"Father-in-law, please tell me." King Rui said with a respectful attitude.
Zhao Ru asked, "If the thirty-seventh year of Yongjia happens again, then what are you going to do?"
King Rui said without hesitation, "Take your wife, children and guards to hide through this road."
"What about Emperor Cheng?" Zhao Ru looked at King Rui and asked in a deep voice.
King Rui said without hesitation, "You can't let him know about this."
Zhao Ru was not surprised, looked calm, and suddenly asked, "What about the queen mother?"
King Rui was stunned and looked at Zhao Ru with a daze. When he knew there was danger in the capital, would he really take his people away and ignore his mother?
The Empress Dowager and Emperor Cheng are not the same. King Rui would not feel that Emperor Cheng was so sad that he died, but what about the Empress Dowager? If he hadn't been afraid of hindering the Empress Dowager, his grandfather would not have chosen to return to Beijing.
Zhao Ru sighed slowly and said, "If you take the Queen Mother, can you guarantee to hide it from Emperor Cheng and everyone's eyes and ears?"
No, unless the Empress Dowager lives in Prince Rui's Mansion, it is absolutely impossible to hide it. But can the Empress Dowager leave the palace? It is impossible, Emperor Cheng will never allow it.
"You think about it yourself." Zhao Ru said.
King Rui nodded, his face full of struggle.
At this time, Shen Jin suspected that she had heard the wrong ears. She was taking advantage of the sun and was holding Dongdong outside to play, but listening to Mama Zhao's words, she always felt something was wrong, "How many cousins do you have, Husband?"
"If the lady wants to ask the one who came to join us and almost got engaged with the general but betrayed the general, that's just one." Madam Zhao said, "She said she had a letter written by the Prince of Ying to the general." If it weren't for this, she wouldn't even enter the gate of the border city.
Shen Jin frowned and said, "Then let's bring the letter and bring it to General Manager Wang. Since she can deliver the letter to the Prince of England, she thinks she knows some of the Prince of England's situation."
Madam Zhao heard this and said, "Yes."
Shen Jin thought that Madam Zhao and the others were worried that Chu Xiuming's cousin would make Chu Xiuming unhappy, so he comforted him, "When your husband comes back, I will tell you my idea."
Madam Zhao looked at Shen Jin and laughed and said, "Madam, even if the lady said she wanted to see that cousin, when the lady saw her, the old slave would suggest that the lady deal with it like this. Whether it is Manager Zhao or Manager Wang, he had to ask the lady for everything. Even if she had an idea, she had to report to her wife to act. She just showed respect for her wife."
Ma Ma Zhao didn't say more, because she said too much but instead went over.
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and understood in his heart. Both General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao were expressing their attitude to others. If they neglected for a long time and did not talk to Chen Jin, no order was passed through Chen Jin, then the people below would inevitably despise her in their hearts and even followed suit. It was not a joke. Moreover, with the ability of General Manager Wang and others, it was not difficult to underestimate Chen Jin.
Madam Zhao can say this because she is really polite to Chen Jin and is afraid that Chen Jin will despise Mr. Wang and others, which is very unfavorable to Chen Jin.
"I understand." Chen Jin drew Dongdong. Now Dongdong is raised, his arms are like lotus roots, and he is scattered in one stream after another. Chen Jin hugged her for a while and then turned her arms into An Ning's hand. Then he looked at Madam Zhao and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Madam Zhao said, "Madam, it's better if I don't think I'm having trouble."
"No, I know you are for my own good." Chen Jin said.
Mama Zhao's eyes were particularly gentle. She knew that Chen Jin was not the kind of proud temperament, but it was because of her concern that she thought more. "By the way, Manager Zhao and others reassured the wife. Although the Prince of Ying framed King Rui and forced King Rui to make things difficult for him, the general was by King Rui's side now and would definitely bring Concubine Chen back safely."
Chen Jin listened to Mama Zhao's comfort, but in fact she was not worried about this at all, because her husband was there, and neither Zhao Ru nor Princess Rui would be willing to offend her now, so she forced Concubine Chen to do something thankless. How could they do such a thankless marriage? So Chen Jin never felt that dealing with smart people is dangerous, because smart people can measure gains and losses. What she feared the most was drinking the kind of self-righteous people who thought they were smart.
But Chen Jin would not say these words. She liked other people's concern and kindness and said, "Well, that's good."
Madam Zhao looked at the Ritou and said, "Madam, it's time to go back."
Chen Jin nodded and said, "Ha, Dongdong should be hungry."
When Dongdong heard his name, he twisted his head and looked at Chen Jin. Chen Jin pulled his hat for him, and then said, "Madam, I'll go in first."
"Okay." Madam Zhao sent Chen Jin and others in, and then went out to arrange the cousin's affairs.
Chen Jin actually didn't think he could get any news from that cousin. If she knew a lot, she wouldn't have been sent by the Prince of England. It was just a way to say that, but could this cousin have any support? Otherwise, how could he dare to go like this after doing such a thing?
After thinking for a while, Chen Jin put the matter aside and took the child into the inner room. Dongdong was indeed hungry. As soon as Chen Jin reported to her arms, he arched her to her chest. After stolen it, he started to eat it.
Chen Jin thought about what kind of support the cousin had, but she didn't think that she had such a big support. When she released it, not only Mr. Wang and others, but Chen Jin was stunned. He looked at Madam Zhao and said, "She said she has any posthumous child?"
"It's the general's third brother, Chu Xiuyao." Madam Zhao's face looked ugly. "It was said that she gave birth to the child after she found out she was pregnant. She knew that the general would not forgive her. She felt that she had no face because she had done something wrong for a moment and felt that she had no face. Now that the child is in the hands of the Prince of Ying, she came here."
"But, wasn't it my husband who almost got engaged to her at the beginning?" Chen Jin couldn't figure it out and asked hesitantly, but how could there be the child of Chu Xiuming's third brother?
Madam Zhao shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on."
This matter is difficult to deal with now. Chu Xiuyao is no longer here. No one knows whether it is true or not. If it is true, this child is Chu Xiuyao's only son.
Chen Jin and Ma Ma Zhao looked at each other, and the most important thing is that this child is still in the hands of the Prince of England!
Chapter completed!
