As Grandma Bingyan said, Yu Jiujiu thought about it secretly.
Twenty-four years ago.
Wen Baiyi and Chu Hanchen are both about thirty years old this year, so they are exactly the right age.
I'm afraid Wen Baiyi's real name is Wen Lan.
But Chu Hanchen said that he died as an elder brother to protect him and his sister, so he should be Chu Quan's second son, so Chu Hanchen may not be his real name.
"Mommy, you really have a good memory. It was twenty-four years ago, but I still remember it so clearly." Yu Jiujiu said with a smile in her eyes.
"Princess, thank you. The reason why this old slave can remember it so clearly is because Mrs. Chu Ying, the late wife of Lord Yong, was a close friend of the eldest princess. At that time, Mrs. Chu was unfortunately killed by a mob. For this reason, the eldest princess also
I have been sad for a long time." Grandma Bingyan said modestly.
"Eldest princess?" Yu Jiujiu looked confused.
"She is the eldest daughter of the Queen Mother and the eldest aunt of the little princess."
Speaking of the eldest princess, Grandma Bingyan couldn't help but bring a smile to her eyes.
"But, why have I never seen her?"
Yu Jiujiu scratched his little head.
"That's because after the eldest princess got married, she went to Xuzhou with her consort, who was appointed magistrate of Xuzhou, and their whole family was there." Grandma Bingyan explained patiently.
"Xuzhou? Last time I went to Dali, I passed by Xuzhou! What a pity. If I had known that my eldest aunt was there, I would have definitely gone to visit!" Yu Jiujiu said with great regret.
"The little princess wants to see the eldest princess?" Grandma Bingyan couldn't help but ask when she saw what she said.
"Yes!" Yu Jiujiu nodded her head.
"But the little princess didn't know what kind of person the eldest princess was before. Aren't you afraid that the eldest princess would embarrass the little princess if she met her?" Grandma Bingyan asked her deliberately.
"Although I have never met my eldest aunt, I have seen the happy look on my face when my grandma mentioned her."
Yu Jiujiu smiled sweetly, and Xiao Lidou made people feel very fond of her, "Just because grandma likes eldest aunt so much, Jiujiu can conclude that eldest aunt must be an easy person to get along with!"
When Grandma Bingyan heard this, she burst into laughter.
She couldn't help but stroke the top of Yu Jiu Jiu's hair lovingly.
The little princess is so lovable.
"The little princess's wish will soon come true. Last month, the eldest princess wrote a letter to the Queen Mother, saying that the prince-in-law was not in good health recently and planned to resign and return to Beijing to see the imperial doctor. Now he is on the way.
In about a few days, we will be able to return to the capital."
Grandma Bingyan said with a loving expression.
"Really? That's great!"
Yu Jiujiu clapped her little hands happily, and suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that the emperor's grandmother couldn't sleep well because of her eldest uncle's illness?"
"No matter what the reason is, the little princess is here to accompany the Queen Mother today. I believe the Queen Mother will be able to have a good sleep tonight." Grandma Bingyan said softly.
After hearing this, Yu Jiujiu realized that there might be something else that really upset the Queen Mother.
However, she did not continue to ask further questions.
"By the way, I still need to trouble grandma. When the imperial grandmother wakes up, please tell her that the miracle doctor Chu Hanchen is in the capital now. When my uncle comes, I will ask the miracle doctor Chu to treat my uncle. I think it will be very long.
The disease will be cured soon by the medicine!"
Yu Jiujiu said softly.
Aunt Bingyan looked surprised.
"Don't worry, little princess, I will definitely tell the Queen Mother this good news!" she said hurriedly.
"Yeah! Then I'm going back, mama, so you don't have to send me off."
Yu Jiujiu waved her little hands and skipped away.
Aunt Bingyan watched her leave peacefully.
It wasn't until her little figure was no longer visible that he turned around and returned to Kunning Palace.
At this time, Queen Mother Yin was not asleep yet.
"Xiao Jiuer called you out specifically. What did you say after talking for so long?" Queen Mother Yin asked, lying half on the couch with a book in her hand.
"When I went back to the Queen Mother, the little princess asked my servant about the events that happened twenty-four years ago, when Chu Ying, the Duke of Yong, her mother and her son, and the family of the Crown Prince of Yong'an were rioted and killed during the Lantern Festival."
Aunt Bingyan repeated everything she had just said to Yu Jiujiu without missing a word.
Queen Mother Yin rubbed the book in her hand.
She looked thoughtful: "It's been so long since this happened, and those who still remember it are already old people.
"Why did Xiao Jiuer suddenly ask?
"Could it be that someone from the Chu family approached her?
"Could it be that woman again, trying to make some trouble?"
When she thought of that person, Queen Mother Yin's expression became gloomy and depressed.
She was a little worried and immediately ordered, "Bingyan, send someone to protect Xiao Jiuer during this period. If anyone from the Chu family takes the initiative to approach her, tell me immediately!"
"Yes, I understand." Grandma Bingyan quickly agreed.
The weather is getting colder.
Yu Jiujiu took a shower and huddled in bed, sorting out the news she had received from Aunt Bingyan, as well as some other news she had just heard from her mother-in-law about the current situation of the Wen and Chu families.
The tragedy twenty-four years ago was said to be related to the Wen and Chu families, but it was the two brothers and sisters of the Chu family who died.
For the Wen family, it was the loss of the Duke's wife and the young prince.
One year after the death of Chu Ying and his son Wen Lan, Duke Yong married Chu Ying's cousin Chu Liujin.
The most obvious person to benefit from this is Chu Liu.
However, Duke Yong married his wife a year after his death, and Chu Liu gave birth to a child less than a year after she entered the house. This shows that they had hooked up a long time ago. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether Duke Yong took action against his deceased wife.
For the Chu family, the eldest son of the Chu family died, and the position of the eldest son fell to the biggest beneficiary of the whole incident, Chu Quan's younger brother Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng is now the Marquis of Yong'an.
But the beauty's mother said that Chu Quan's qualifications were mediocre and that the Marquis of Yong'an must be cowardly and incompetent.
It would be difficult for a cowardly person to plan such an elaborate murder unless he was pretending.
If he was pretending, then he must be the mastermind behind the murder of the Chu Quan family.
Deeper and more exposed.
Yu Jiujiu couldn't help but yawned.
These things were so exhausting that she fell asleep before she knew it.
It was a cold and windy day for two consecutive days.
As soon as Yu Jiujiu returned to the palace, Jiang Youyou fed her a large bowl of ginger tea, saying it was to ward off the cold and prevent her from getting cold due to the wind.
At this time, Concubine De suddenly came with a mysterious look on her face.
"Mother De Fei, it's so cold, why are you here? Hurry up and drink the hot ginger tea to warm yourself up." Seeing the beautiful mother busy trying on the newly made winter clothes in the room, Yu Jiujiu took the opportunity.
Bring the ginger tea in your hand to Concubine De.
"Xiao Jiu'er is such a considerate little cotton-padded jacket!" Concubine De was so moved that she took the ginger tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Yu Jiujiu showed a successful smile on his face.
Several palace maids and eunuchs saw this and secretly held back their laughter without making any show of it.
When Jiang Youyou came out, he saw that the ginger tea in the small bowl had reached the bottom, so he thought Yu Jiujiu had drank it, so he didn't ask any questions.
"Sister, why do you have time to come over now? It just so happens, let's have dinner together." She sat down next to Concubine De and said with a smile.
"I have something to tell you." Concubine De said with a gossipy smile.
"Mother De Fei, what's going on?" Yu Jiu Jiu quickly leaned her little head over and asked curiously.
Jiang Youyou had a melon-eating expression on her face.
Concubine De's beautiful eyes glanced at Jiang Youyou, then at Yu Jiujiu, and then whispered: "I heard just now that the emperor went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, but he had a big quarrel with the Queen Mother and was kicked out by the Queen Mother
