Chapter 178 The Ninth Brother Can't Always Have a Woman to Serve
Just a small flow of loose mud.
But the prince's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't even bother to hold an umbrella. He quickened his pace and said, "It's okay. Let's go quickly. I think there will be a landslide here at any time."
Several people braved the rain and turned back all the way. In the middle of the night, they returned to the summer resort.
After returning home, Chu Yu fell ill and had a high fever that would not go away.
The emperor heard about His Royal Highness King Yu's behavior from Lin Quan and came to visit him in person.
When Chu Yu saw his father, who didn't look much better, his nose felt a little sore.
The bit of family affection buried deep in my memory caused a dense pain in my heart.
When he was young, this man stayed with him all night when he was sick.
He was also the most favored one in everyone's eyes.
But all this beauty was destroyed in that palace incident.
In the eyes of his father, family affection is far less important than power. He no longer needs this little favor.
Chu Yu suppressed the emotion in his heart that should have been forgotten for a long time. He said that he was tired, turned over and closed his eyes.
The emperor looked at his distant figure with complicated emotions, and was helped away by the old eunuch.
…
Wei Qingjie had no obvious external injuries, but his health was getting worse day by day. The imperial doctor diagnosed him as suffering from internal injuries and prescribed medicine, but it never showed any effect. He left within half a month.
Once Wei Qingjie died, Shi's position as commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei became vacant.
Mo Ruchu was brought up by Wei Qingjie single-handedly, and he was highly valued by the prince, so the history of commanding the Imperial Guards naturally fell on him.
Chu Yu didn't expect that he had been worrying about how to unseat Wei Qingjie, and just like that, he would successfully push Mo Ruchu to the top through a natural disaster.
The mountain road was cleared and the mountains on both sides were reinforced.
In mid-August, the large army returned to the capital in a mighty manner.
Chu Yu returned to the palace.
During his absence, a major event occurred in the palace.
Honglian disappeared.
Bitao was disfigured, went crazy, and is now locked in a woodshed.
Ai Cao reported everything one by one.
On that day, Chu Yu added fuel to the flames and provoked a conflict between Wei Jiayi and Bi Tao.
Wei Jiayi asked Honglian to tamper with the cream used by Bitao, causing the wounds on Bitao's face to begin to fester.
Bi Tao was not allowed to go out to see the doctor, and was drugged on the way. When she woke up, she was being touched by a group of beggars...
Chu Yu just frowned slightly. He didn't expect Wei Jiayi's methods and heart to be so ruthless.
"Where's Honglian?" Chu Yu asked.
Ai Cao replied: "I ordered someone to instigate it behind the scenes. Hong Lian knew too much. She was afraid that Miss Wei would retaliate against her, so she was so frightened that she ran to complain to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage. Hong Lian is currently
I still don’t know if I’m alive or dead in the Tai’s womb.”
"What are you going to do next, Master?"
Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "If such a big thing happens, the prince will definitely ask Wei Jiayi to see him when he comes back. You will send someone to keep an eye on it soon and let me know if there is any news."
"yes."
Ai Cao turned around to leave, and Chu Yu said again: "By the way, has Axiang sent a letter recently?"
"Yes." Ai Cao took the letter.
Chu Yu was at the Summer Resort, which was heavily guarded by the Royal Forest Army. There was nothing urgent, so Chu Yu did not let Wormwood take any risks.
Ruan Ningxiang's letter contained only a few simple sentences.
Riding on the red dust concubine laughed, no one knew it was lychee.
There is also a row of small words on the back of the letter, "Lychees are delicious, but I don't want to be the arrogant and lascivious Concubine Yang."
The corners of Chu Yu's mouth slowly raised, showing warmth, "What if you play with the princes with a beacon fire just to make the beauty smile?"
Whenever Chu Yu saw Ruan Ningxiang's letter, he felt that everything he had planned so hard for that person was worth it, even though he was so far away.
As expected, the prince sent someone to invite Wei Jiayi into the palace not long after, and Chu Yu followed him into the palace.
The two of them bumped into each other at the gate of the East Palace.
In the past, Wei Jiayi would have been elated when she saw Chu Yu, but now she just wanted to avoid this man.
"Miss Wei, don't you want to see me?" Chu Yu's eyes reflected a faint cold light and he stood directly in front of Wei Jiayi.
Wei Jiayi had no choice but to hide. She lowered her eyes and saluted, "Prince Yu."
Chu Yu sneered coldly, ignored her, and turned around to enter the prince's residence.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was talking to the Crown Princess. When he saw the two people coming in together, the expression on his face became subtle.
Immediately, that touch of subtlety was replaced by joking and romantic words, "Oh, why did you two come together?"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I just met at the door. I think Miss Wei must be here to visit the Crown Princess."
Wei Jiayi bowed again, and the prince asked Wei Jiayi and the prince to retreat first.
"Ninth brother, why are you here?" The prince asked him to sit down politely.
Chu Yu also said politely, "Private matter."
"Oh?" The prince looked over and said, "Ninth Brother's private affairs make me curious."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Some time ago, my father wanted me to give Bitao an identity."
"This is a good thing." The prince said, but a dark cloud appeared between his eyebrows.
"That Bi Tao is a well-behaved person, and she has been with me for half a year. I originally wanted to choose a date to officially move her into the house after she comes back, but unfortunately..." Chu Yu sighed, "This period when I am not at home.
It’s time, but something happened at home.”
The prince was holding the tea cup, and Chu Yu lamented: "This Bi Tao is crazy, and Hong Lian is gone."
"Oh?" The prince pretended to be surprised, "How could this happen?"
"This is a bit long to say." Chu Yu sighed again. He glanced outside with his peripheral vision and caught a glimpse of a shadow in the corner of the window. "This matter may have something to do with the third lady of the Wei family."
The sound was neither light nor heavy, enough that the shadows outside could hear it clearly.
The prince's face couldn't help but darken a little more. Honglian was in his palace at the moment, and he had been informed of everything that happened in Prince Yu's palace.
It was he who came forward to propose marriage to the emperor, Wei Jiayi, and the two maids were also brought over by him. The prince had already figured out what the ninth prince meant by this.
His own people had taken care of his own people. The prince was naturally angry, but he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"After all, the palace maid is from a small family. She must not understand the rules and bumped into the sister of the Wei family." The prince said with a thick face, "Well, it happens to be August 15th in two days. My name is Crown Princess.
I will be the host and invite the girls of the right age from the courtiers of the fourth rank and above to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers. When you are here, see if you like any of them and bring them into the palace as concubines."
The prince not only wanted to protect him, but he also practiced Tai Chi and wanted to get women into his place.
If you want to dissolve your marriage with Wei Jiayi, relying on this fire alone is not enough.
Chu Yu declined politely: "The princess is pregnant, so don't worry too much about me. Besides, I haven't been thinking about it recently."
"I know that Ninth Brother values feelings, but Ninth Brother can't always have a woman to take care of him."
