Chapter 156 Winner
Bai Chuxiao asked in a deep voice, "Wouldn't it be better to send it to an ordinary family..."
It would be fine if Chu Tianze never knew about it, but as Chu Wenzheng said, there is no impenetrable wall. If Chu Tianze knew about this, how would he deal with it after calling Emperor Wenxuan his father for so many years... She could see that Chu Tianze had expectations of Emperor Wenxuan as a father before, at least he had never thought of rebelling against this father like Chu Tianling did...
Lady Jing sighed slightly, "Firstly, the palace was indeed the safest place at that time, so it would be most appropriate to send the child back to the palace as my child. Secondly, the truth was unclear at that time, and we couldn't be sure that it was Chu Wenxuan who did it. We just thought that he didn't want the young lady to have a child, and the young lady still hoped that the child could grow up in front of his father. With the truth that General Wan died, and the child having already been seen by Chu Wenxuan, it would not be so easy to send him away... Your grandfather could only lie low and send people to protect us in secret."
After that, he laughed again, "Zer grew up and was sent to the border and given a fiefdom. We unanimously decided to keep this secret. Zeer is not a tool for revenge. The grudges of our generation should not involve him. But the child is so grown up and still only knows how to fight and kill. I think it's time to find him a marriage."
Bai Chuxiao lowered her head, and Concubine Jing smiled again, "Your grandfather thought about it and said that his granddaughter was not very interested in marriage. He also felt that you and Ze'er would definitely get along well, as both of you like to play with swords and guns, so he facilitated this marriage. However, he still took your thoughts into consideration, so when I asked for an order, I didn't say it was a sure thing. I thought you could meet in the capital first. If you don't like it, there is room for negotiation... Xiaoxiao, can you blame us?"
Bai Chuxiao's face turned slightly red, "What are you talking about, mother? Tianze is very good..."
Grandfather and Lady Jing wanted to bring them together, but they had no other purpose. They simply thought that the two of them were compatible and had reached the age of marriage. But they didn't insist on tying them together. She had nothing to complain about. Besides, Chu Tianze was indeed a rare and good match. He supported her in everything and went along with her...
After thinking for a while, Bai Chuxiao whispered again, "But I'm afraid this secret can't be kept secret for long..." Chu Wenzheng obviously wouldn't be so kind as to help them keep this secret.
Lady Jing was also helpless, "It's better to keep it a secret for a while, but it's better for Chu Wenxuan to die like this, it won't be too difficult for Ze'er to do anything after he finds out."
The next morning, the sound of bells continued to ring in the capital. Bai Chuxiao opened her eyes with a sharp look. This was the result...
Lan Xiang, Qing Zhu and others came over and whispered, "Princess, do you still want to enter the palace?"
Bai Chuxiao nodded, "After the emperor passed away, I naturally had to go to the palace. How are the industries in the capital going?"
Lan Xiang said in a deep voice, "Everything is ready, you can leave at any time"
Yu Fengyang had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Bai Chuxiao in plain clothes, he smiled and asked, "Did the princess sleep well? The battle last night was very brutal."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."
She had been running around these past few days and was very tired. She fell into a deep sleep after talking with Lady Jing last night. How could she have time to care about the war situation outside?
The two of them got on the carriage, and Yu Fengyang slowly said, "Chu Wenzheng and Prince Consort Zhang have raised quite a few private soldiers over the years. With the help of our good prince, they successfully crossed the borders of other states and came to the capital. Most of the troops in the suburban camp have long been controlled by them. In addition, Wei Junyan mobilized the northern army to pass through Liangzhou and directly besiege the capital. How could Cheng Song's imperial guards and He Yan's remaining troops resist?"
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "How is the East Palace?"
Yu Fengyang chuckled, "The bad news is that the Crown Prince and Queen Li are dead, the good news is that the Princess's sister is still alive."
Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Who cares about her life or death? What about Liu Shuyao? She's still pregnant with the prince's child."
Yu Fengyang raised his eyebrows, "Liu Shuyao escaped under Cheng Song's protection"
Bai Chuxiao touched her chin and said, "Cheng Song is indeed loyal. Isn't the capital surrounded by the Northern Army? Where can an orphan and a widow escape to?"
Yu Fengyang said with some resentment, "So, if the orphans and widows can't escape, can we escape?"
Their situation is not much better than that of an orphan and a widow. The few men they have are not enough to kill them. Moreover, it seems that the King of Qi has a big grudge with the Prince of Yan's Mansion. After everything is settled today, the Prince of Yan's Mansion will be the next one to go. It doesn't matter that Chu Tianze is far away, but pity these old, weak and sick people!
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Seeing that you are so leisurely, I thought you already had a perfect plan for leaving Beijing."
Yu Fengyang said in a somewhat flattering manner, "The princess is wise and powerful, so this little thing should be no problem for her. I swear to follow the princess till death."
Bai Chuxiao helplessly spread her hands, "Thank you for your compliment, but unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. You know Chu Tianling has a grudge against me."
Yu Fengyang's face fell, "Is it too late for me to surrender to the King of Qi now?"
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "Well, go ahead. I also want to see how Chu Tianling's perverted torture method works."
Yu Fengyang laughed awkwardly, "I don't want to fall into his hands and be tortured by him."
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Okay, being an emperor is not that easy. Everything must be done according to the rules. If Chu Tianling wants to deal with us, he must find a legitimate reason, otherwise how can he convince the people of the world?"
Yu Fengyang frowned and said, "Chu Wenzheng went through so much trouble just to help the King of Qi take the throne?"
Bai Chuxiao blinked, "If Chu Wenzheng is destined to be childless for his whole life, what's the point of him sitting on the throne at his age? It would be nice to be a powerful regent."
Yu Fengyang was speechless. This was true. As for why there were no offspring, it was self-evident.
Bai Chuxiao smiled again and said, "However, since ancient times, regents have never had a good ending. I am curious about how they will explain the death of the emperor and the prince to everyone." Those who seek to usurp the throne hate it most when others say that they came to the throne illegitimately.
The capital was under martial law, and white silk was hung in the city. No one was walking around. However, the carriage of Prince Yan's mansion was not stopped by anyone, and it arrived at the palace gate.
The guard said, "Stop, His Majesty has passed away, outsiders are not allowed to enter the palace."
Bai Chuxiao opened the curtain and said sternly, "Open your eyes and see clearly, am I an outsider?"
Another guard went in to report. Another carriage drove slowly over. The curtain was lifted. The guard immediately changed his expression and respectfully greeted Zhang Miaoke and Princess Zhaoyang in plain clothes.
