Chapter 101 Overturning the Piece in the Vinegar Game
When Wan Qing was sent back to the mansion, Mrs. Zuo realized what the problem was and immediately got busy with Mo Xiang and Zhi Yuan.
Zhiyuan was ordered to boil some brown sugar water, while Mo Xiang and Mrs. Zuo changed Wan Qing's clothes into clean clothes.
Chu Luchen and Jiang Zizhen were both invited to the lobby to wait.
In ancient times, putting plant ash into a small cloth strip and tying the two ends with a thin thread around the waist could cope with the problem of sunflower water. Since Zuofu was relatively wealthy, the cloth strip was filled with white ash.
Paper.
Of course, Zhi Yuan secretly told Jiang Zizhen this, and it was also a later story.
Due to Wan Qing's discomfort, the arrangements for this day ended in vain.
Chu Luchen returned to the palace with unanswered questions, and was summoned by Emperor Chu not long after.
However, Chu Luchen was very glad that he did not meet Emperor Chu in the harem this time.
When he was led by the palace servants to the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Chu was drinking and a little tipsy.
"Lu Chen, you're here. Come and have a drink with me." Chu Tianba patted the stool next to him and called Chu Luchen over.
Chu Luchen bowed quietly, sat next to him silently, and poured wine for him.
Chu Tianba patted Chu Luchen on the back and talked about the past three years.
"Lu Chen, tell me, with my status, I can get any woman I want, right? There are some women I can't get." Chu Tianba put his arm on Chu Luchen's shoulders.
Without the majesty of an emperor, he looked like a young man in love, but this was not something to be thankful for in Chu Luchen's eyes.
Seeing Chu Luchen listening silently, it was rare to have someone to talk to, so Chu Tianba took advantage of his drunkenness to express his worries.
"I'm telling you, I never thought she was much better than Ye Xue before, but when I saw her that day, I was absolutely shocked." Emperor Chu continued talking.
"You should have seen it, the adopted daughter of the Zuo family. That look in her eyes is really unforgettable." Chu Tianba didn't notice Chu Luchen's flash of anger, so he just handed him the
The glass was drained in one gulp.
"If the father likes it, he will marry her into the palace." Chu Luchen didn't know what his intention was when he said this. Maybe it was because of the old jealousy?
Chu Tianba shook his hand with a look of disdain, "Wan Qing said that if he married her into the palace, he would hang himself to death. And... and... she has a sweetheart. Naturally, I have to respect it too.
Let me know what she means. But...she also said that if her sweetheart still hasn't returned after four years, she will marry into the palace."
Seeing Emperor Chu who was completely in the mood of his little daughter, Chu Luchen silently pushed him gently to prevent him from focusing all his weight on himself.
However, listening to Emperor Chu's intermittently talking, Chu Luchen felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
Wan Qing said that he has a sweetheart, and it will be four years later, so it should be him...
"But Chen'er, I'm really a little sad today. The border seems to be... getting more and more chaotic. This Zuo Jian and this Sun Quan seem to think I'm stupid, fighting openly and secretly, thinking I'm blind?" Chu Tian
Ba burped and fell to the side.
Chu Luchen stretched out his hand and pulled it to prevent Chu Tianba from falling, "Father, be careful."
"Well... Chen'er is still good." Chu Tianba patted Chu Luchen's hand, and soon started snoring.
Chu Luchen called the attendants beside him and helped him lie down on the magnificent bed.
After returning to his palace, Chu Luchen showed a thoughtful expression.
From what Emperor Chu said, it can be found that he had thoughts about Wan Qing. And it seemed that it was three years ago...could it be the Autumn Harvest Ceremony?
According to what Aunt Ning Ci said, the Queen Mother probably had a lot of input.
And Emperor Chu, who had always looked down on him, suddenly summoned him today, so it was definitely impossible to do it out of thin air.
Unless, someone forced him to establish a crown prince, but he was not on the list, so he suddenly felt that he was a good person to talk to.
As for the border area, he had heard about it, but it seemed that it was time to intensify the collection of intelligence, as Fan Bang was already ready to make a move.
If there is a chance, it would be great to take Jiang Zizhen and Wan Qing for a walk around the border, secretly reward the soldiers, win over the soldiers, and facilitate future arrangements.
Chu Luchen was thinking about future plans and how to deal with the secret fighting in the palace these days.
"How are you doing, my second brother?" Chu Lurong saw Chu Lvchen dazed alone in the palace, so he called out to remind him that he was here.
Chu Luchen was secretly annoyed that there was no calm moment today, but he still had a smile on his face and saluted gently.
Chu Lurong raised his eyebrows, then slowly sat down and spoke in a confused manner, "Second brother, it seems that our cooperation will continue..."
Chu Luchen raised his eyebrows and met Chu Lurong's obviously sarcastic smile.
"My father called you today, don't you understand?" Chu Lurong sent someone to eavesdrop for a while, so he could hear the first half very clearly, but the second half, which was like a mumbling sound, could not be heard clearly.
Chu Luchen looked at Chu Lurong, neither nodding nor shaking his head, waiting for his next words.
"Wan Qing, I will not let go. Of course, I cannot give in. However, I would rather the opponent is you, not that father who is full of thoughts." Chu Lurong's eyes flashed and he blocked it with a folding fan.
The hatred in his eyes disappeared.
Chu Luchen poured tea for the two of them and drank tea by himself, still no reply.
"Think about it slowly. I believe that after tomorrow, you will be willing to join forces with me." Chu Luchen waved his fan and walked out without waiting for Chu Luchen's respectful reply.
Chu Luchen's doubts just now have been solved a lot. It was naturally Chu Lurong who mentioned Wan Qing, which led to Emperor Chu's abnormal reaction.
But what will happen after tomorrow?
Since he said this, I'm afraid Wan Qing will be in trouble again.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
Chu Lurong and his own intelligence and information sources seemed to come from completely different people.
But if the information from the two people could be combined now, it would probably be a complete piece of information.
When all coincidences point to one point, it can only be said that it is not a coincidence.
In other words, someone is secretly controlling it.
The person who can do this has already shown off his cards in front of Wan Qing - the Queen Mother.
Every move of the Queen Mother has her own meaning, and in her eyes, she is just a well-used chess piece. Of course, if it is not herself who becomes the crown prince in the end, she will spare no effort to suppress it, and then use the other chess piece.
The chess pieces are on top.
Step by step, link after link.
However, despite all her calculations, she missed one point: the chess piece would be released at some point.
