Chapter 1,056 Confirmation of the News
The eldest princess Ruian looked at Chu Liuyue, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said: "I have taken medicine before, I should be asleep by now!"
"Since you have gone to bed, come and see cousin Hao next time!" Chu Liuyue said with a smile, "Cousin Hao is now the heir apparent of the Marquis of Xingguo, and my aunt's wish has come true."
"It turns out that all this belongs to Hao'er." Princess Ruian's face turned cold.
"No matter where you say it, I think it belongs to Hao'er, but will Marquis Xingguo really be willing to accept it? My aunt should be more careful!" Chu Liuyue said with concern.
Here, after pausing for a moment, Chu Liuyue said again: "Does my aunt know about the collision between the eldest son of the Xingguo Hou Mansion and Yuan An's car?"
"How do you say that?" Princess Ruian frowned, not understanding what Chu Liuyue meant by this.
This matter had been aroused before, so of course the eldest princess had heard of it.
"That matter is actually..." Chu Liuyue hesitated and looked at the people around Princess Ruian.
The eldest princess Ruian coughed: "Don't worry, everyone here is my confidant. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"When he bumped into Princess Yuan'an, Shao Huaan actually did well. Yuan'an had someone beat him!" Chu Liuyue's voice was lowered a bit.
Princess Ruian's eyes immediately widened: "Why... is this?"
"When I was the crown prince, I once went to Aunt Ruiping's house. Speaking of this matter... Aunt Ruiping must also dislike Marquis Xingguo very much!" Chu Liuyue said with a slight smile.
The words were implicit, but the meaning was not difficult to understand. It was Chu Liuyue who said something in front of Princess Ruiping. Princess Ruiping did not like Marquis Xingguo because of this. This is why Princess Yuanan was hit. After that, he attacked Shao Huaan for an excuse.
This was a sign of goodwill to the eldest princess Ruian. When Princess Yuanan was in the palace before, what she said was a complete accident.
The eldest princess Ruian was stunned for a moment, but then she understood. The smile on her face became gentler. She narrowed her eyes and nodded appreciatively: "Is Yuan An's injury healed?"
"It's the face that was hurt. My second brother has a good miracle doctor there. He has excellent medical skills, so there shouldn't be any big problem." Chu Liuyue said.
"That's good, I'll have someone go see her later!" Princess Ruian said warmly.
This means inheriting Princess Yuan'an's love, and also inheriting Chu Liuyue's love. Hearing this, Chu Liuyue was very happy. If he could get Princess Ruian to stand on his side, it would be of great benefit to him. .
Not to mention the relationship between the eldest princess Ruian and the Queen Mother, the granddaughter of the eldest princess Ruian is Shao Wanru, and she has always stood firmly behind Shao Wanru, which is enough for Shao Wanru to be used by herself. The actual situation of Chu Liuchen has always been It's a mystery. If you press a chess piece next to Chu Liuchen, it will be very beneficial to him.
"Auntie, Princess Yuan'an's injury shouldn't be a big problem. It doesn't matter whether my aunt goes or not. If she goes too soon, it will make people suspicious, and it may also allow the Xingguo Houfu to seize some things and stir up chaos with my father. What to say." Chu Liuyue said with her whole heart in mind for Princess Ruian.
What he said before was just casual, just to please the eldest princess Ruian. It would be inappropriate if the eldest princess Ruian went to Princess Ruiping to say more. It would be better for everyone to know better.
Princess Ruian thought for a while and nodded, "I am worrying too much!"
"Auntie, I'm afraid Shao Jing won't let go of cousin Hao's matter, right?" After Chu Liuchen expressed his good intentions, his expression became more and more concerned.
Princess Ruian's face was serious and she snorted coldly: "He can do whatever he wants. I'm not afraid of him."
"My aunt is not afraid, but what if Shao Jing wants to deal with Princess Chen and cousin Hao? At this time, the third brother is not in the house. If something happens in the house, Princess Chen will be young after all, and I am afraid it will be difficult to handle!"
Chu Liuyue reminded Ruian that justice should be done.
"Even if King Chen is not here and his status is there, Shao Jing can no longer use filial piety to suppress Princess Chen. Besides, Mrs. Xingguo Hou is not in the mansion." Princess Ruian has been paying attention to the affairs of Xingguo Hou's mansion. Madam has already packed up and gone to Yuhui Nunnery.
Xiaoyi suppressed it, and Mrs. Xingguohou said it was okay, but Xingguohou Shao Jing was a little reluctant!
"What my aunt said is that I am just afraid that Shao Jing is not simple. I heard that the emperor even sent the Imperial Guard to Prince Chen's Mansion before. I don't know if it has anything to do with Shao Jing!"
The purpose of Chu Liuyue's visit today was to inquire about Shao Wanru. She originally wanted to ask through Shao Yuanhao, but since Shao Yuanhao was ill, she could only inquire through Princess Ruian in a roundabout way.
Princess Ruian waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "It was a false alarm before. Nothing happened. The emperor sent people to capture the remnants of the previous dynasty. He thought they had fallen into Prince Chen's Mansion. After asking the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion, He left without disturbing Princess Chen, so it is unlikely to be related to Shao Jing."
Shao Wanru is okay? Did his plan fail?
Chu Liuyue was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She still looked concerned: "That's good. Third brother is not here. I am also afraid that something will happen to the Xingguo Hou Mansion. My father asked about it the day before yesterday. Third brother’s matter.”
"Did the Emperor say when His Highness King Chen will return to Beijing?" Princess Ruian became more energetic.
"This... my aunt has to forgive me for my unspeakable sin!" Chu Liuyue said in embarrassment.
This kind of thing can be regarded as a military and national event, and indeed it cannot be said. Going all the way to the capital will be nothing under normal circumstances, but there is no guarantee that no one will try to harm Chu Liuchen, or the two people who followed him to the capital. Princess of the country.
It was revealed that Chu Liuchen's itinerary could easily lead to accidents. The best thing is not to ask or tell!
"I asked too much!" Princess Ruian understood the meaning and said slowly.
"Auntie, if the third brother enters the capital, I will come and inform my aunt immediately." Chu Liuyue stood up and said with a smile, "I have something else to do right now, so I won't disturb my aunt!"
Princess Ruian nodded: "If you have anything to do, please leave first!"
After Chu Liuyue bowed to the eldest princess Ruian, she turned around and strode away.
The eldest princess Ruian frowned slightly. Chu Liuyue came over and said one sentence here and there, but there was no key point at all. There seemed to be no substantive issues. What was his purpose?
Zhuo Zhuo has sent someone to tell her before, saying that if anyone comes to inquire about her, Princess Ruian will pay special attention to it. But here, many people have asked about Zhuo Zhuo, including several people who have been with her in the past. Madam, whenever she meets her, she will always talk about Zhuo Zhuo, especially since the Emperor’s Imperial Guard once entered Prince Chen’s Mansion.
In addition to these ladies who often come and go, the eldest princess Ruiping mentioned her granddaughter to Chu Liuyue.
Who is the person who secretly wants to deal with my granddaughter? Princess Ruian had always thought Princess Ruiping was suspicious before, but now she felt that Chu Liuyue seemed a bit suspicious as well.
He just thought about Chu Liuyue's words and didn't say anything, just a few words of concern.
Who on earth is it? The eldest princess Ruian was very entangled, but no matter what, she had to tell her granddaughter about this matter. Her granddaughter was smart and would definitely find clues among these people...
Chu Liuyue walked out with a calm expression, but her heart was already churning. There was nothing wrong with Shao Wanru, that was because her plan had not succeeded!
I was a little angry in my heart, but I couldn't help but think about it. The plan was so detailed and so closely linked. What went wrong and allowed everyone in Prince Chen's Mansion to escape?
Needless to say, Shao Wanru, the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion must have been recruited this time, but nothing happened at the moment.
It would be much easier to get rid of the chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion first, and then deal with Shao Wanru. At that time, it would not take much effort to make Shao Wanru die immediately or make her disappear. The chief steward of Prince Chen's Mansion is the most important trouble. The identity of the first empress's chief steward is enough to make people understand that this chief steward is not simple and not easy to deal with.
After they got into the carriage, Chu Liuyue's face turned cold, and there was a stern look in her eyes. There must be a reason for this, but she didn't know which part was wrong.
The carriage slowly walked out of the gate of Princess Ruian's Mansion.
"Go to the Zhuangyuan Building." Chu Liuyue ordered as soon as he walked out of the door.
The carriage driver responded, raised his whip and drove the carriage in a different direction, heading towards Chu Liuyue's favorite Zhuangyuan Building.
Halfway along the road, the carriage stopped for a moment, and a young eunuch dressed as a servant got out of the carriage. He disappeared quickly and went to the Mansion of Prime Minister Wen to invite Wen Xichi, the Third Young Master of Wen, as ordered.
The business of the Zhuangyuan Building is very good. He has not been officially appointed yet. From time to time, he will entertain guests here. In addition, many elegant people also like to come here, so the business is getting better and better.
When Chu Liuyue got off the carriage, a sharp-eyed waiter immediately saw him, recognized him, and greeted him with a smile: "Master, please hurry up and invite me!"
Chu Liuyue had previously ordered that the waiters here were not allowed to call him His Highness, expressing his unwillingness to reveal his identity here.
Chu Liuyue followed him into the Zhuangyuan Building. The first floor was almost full, so he didn't stop here and went straight to the fourth floor.
There is a private room on the fourth floor that the restaurant has reserved for him.
"Who is this? Didn't you say there are no private rooms?" Someone said in dissatisfaction as the waiter fawningly led the person to the private room above.
"He must be a noble son from the capital. Even if people like us pass the exam, we can't compare to them." The one next to him curled his lips and said in a sinister tone, feeling really unconvinced.
Some of them passed the exam, and some failed. When we drank together before, we all seemed to be on the same page, so we deliberately gathered here a few more times.
We were originally going to book a private room, but just now the waiter kept saying that we didn't have it, but now we saw someone being led directly up, and we were very dissatisfied.
Yan Xi's eyes also followed Chu Liuyue upwards. Coincidentally, he was also among this group of people...
