"Please, Princess, let me go free, I, I want to get married!"
"Marrying? To whom?"
Chu Yunxi thought that Xiao Feifei would ask her to let her go to the funeral of Princess Pingyao, but she did not expect that it would be such a request.
She was obviously devastated by the death of the eldest princess. Why did she want to get married when her body was still cold?
Xiao Feifei said seriously:
"The eldest princess's consort, for the rest of my life, I will live as the mother of those two children."
Chu Yunxi was slightly stunned, which was unexpected, but also reasonable. Chu Yunxi did not persuade her. After all, it was Xiao Feifei's life, and she had no right to interfere too much. He only asked:
"Have you thought carefully and won't regret it?"
Xiao Feifei nodded affirmatively. Her life had no meaning. Now, at least she knew what she wanted to live for.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Chu Yunxi agreed.
"Okay, it's just that your status as an official slave is the emperor's will. Your body deed cannot be given to you yet. If the prince-in-law is willing to marry you, you can go. As long as you keep your peace, sooner or later, I will give you your freedom.
."
Xiao Feifei kowtowed to Chu Yunxi and sincerely regarded her as the future mother of the Yunxiao Kingdom.
Her previous self-righteousness was a complete joke. How could she be so obsessed at that time that she thought she could compete with such a transparent and open-minded woman?
Xiao Feifei smiled gratefully at Chu Yunxi, then stood up and left. Outside the gate of General Chu's mansion, Xiao Feifei saw the carriage sent by the consort to pick her up, and felt warm in her heart.
Chu Yunxi saw the carriage leaving and thought that it would be a good thing if these two people could really put aside their grudges and live a good life.
No one can be more dedicated to the eldest princess’s two children and take responsibility for their lives than Xiao Feifei.
"Miss, Xiaolian suddenly feels that this Xiao Feifei is not as hateful as before. She is quite pitiful."
"She will find the right path."
This is Chu Yunxi's hope and her blessing for Xiao Feifei.
"Let's go see my mother and sister."
Thinking of her sister's soft and tender little hands, Chu Yunxi couldn't help but smile. Si Qi was also looking forward to it because she had never seen such a small baby.
"Mother."
Chu Yunxi poked her head in, making Mrs. Chu laugh for a while.
"Come in quickly."
She had already heard from General Chu that Xi'er found out the eldest princess behind the scenes and brought her to justice.
Seeing the gentler expression on her mother's face than before, Chu Yunxi felt a sense of happiness in her heart.
"Your sister is asleep. I will bring her to you later. You can look at this first."
Mrs. Chu took out a letter and handed it to Chu Yunxi.
"Whose letter?" Chu Yunxi asked curiously.
Mrs. Chu didn't show off either.
"Your third brother sent it from Nan Yan Kingdom."
Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up a bit. Ever since his third brother Chu Wenjin went to Nanyan Kingdom with Princess Shengya, there was no news about them, and now he actually sent a letter back.
She opened it hurriedly and looked at it carefully.
"My son is unfilial and fails to serve his mother. He truly loves Princess Shengya and wants to work with her for the rest of his life. I hope that my father and mother can fulfill her wish. I hope that the letter of betrothal is enclosed and I will prepare the betrothal gift by myself."
Chu Yunxi looked at it and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. She sat down next to Mrs. Chu.
"Mother, I think the third brother really likes Princess Shengya. You are not as good as my father, so just follow the third brother's wishes, right?"
Mrs. Chu was a little melancholy.
"Princess Shengya is indeed very good. Your third brother can find his own happiness, and my mother is also very happy. But, it is of no use just agreeing with us. I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy."
What the mother meant was that both she and the father agreed? Chu Yunxi was happy for Chu Wenjin.
"Mother, the Crown Prince will go and clear the emperor's barrier, so mother doesn't have to worry."
Mrs. Chu said angrily:
"You kid, you can't use chicken feathers as arrows. After all, His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country and cares about national affairs. How can you always bother him with the affairs of our Chu family?"
Chu Yunxi smiled along with Mrs. Chu and said:
"Yes, yes, but this is the third brother's lifelong happiness, isn't it? It's not too much to just bother me a little bit."
She was still thinking about what her mentor Sikong Yu had said. She wondered when her mentor would come to Beijing. If things really went as her mentor wished, she still had no idea whether the emperor would step down first or the third brother would get married first.
Chu Yunxi quickly stopped her wandering thoughts. There were some things that were useless to dwell on.
"Mom, bring my sister here quickly. I miss her so much. There is also Si Qi, she hasn't seen her yet."
Si Qi nodded and Xiaolian pointed at herself.
"Xiao Lian misses me too."
Mrs. Chu finally regained her smile.
In her heart, she was actually somewhat reluctant to let Chu Wenjin go so far away, but Chu Wenjin's happiness was more important than her reluctance. She left this matter to Xi'er and his wife to handle.
He told the maid in the house:
"Ask the wet nurse to bring the baby."
"Yes, ma'am."
Chu Yunxi's heart melted when she saw her sister with a soft compress. Unknowingly, she stayed in the Chu Mansion for another half day. It wasn't until Jun Lingyun came to pick her up in person that she realized that it was already getting late.
He happily got on the carriage back to the palace, tilted his head and asked Jun Lingyun.
"Why don't you ride a horse?"
Jun Lingyun took her into his arms and smiled.
"The carriage is convenient."
As for what to do conveniently, Chu Yunxi, who was already leaning on the hot chest, naturally understood. No matter how many times I heard this kind of words, I would still be a little embarrassed.
"Xi'er, do you mind if I use your junior brother?"
Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jun Lingyun.
"That depends on whether he is willing to be used by you."
Jun Lingyun pretended to be sad.
"What a lady with her elbows turned outward."
Chu Yunxi smiled and ignored him. She knew that Jun Lingyun was under great pressure now.
There are not only matters involving Xizhao and Beiman that are waiting for him to deal with. There are also the sins committed by his own father that are waiting to be repaid. As long as he can resolve one or two, let him give up.
Early the next morning, a letter was sent from General Chu's Mansion to Nan Yan Kingdom at high speed.
Another letter was sent from the East Palace to the Dongyi Kingdom at high speed.
At this moment, the emperor was listening to Jun Lingyun's report, sweeping away yesterday's decadence.
"Is this true? Are you really sure that you can capture Xizhao Kingdom?"
Jun Lingyun nodded.
"With the personal surrender of the young prince of Xizhao Kingdom, as long as the plan is proper, Xizhao Kingdom will become the territory of Yunxiao Kingdom from now on."
"Hahaha, okay, you two, husband and wife, are of one heart and one mind, and you are indeed blessed with good fortune."
Ever since the prince's wedding, things have been smooth sailing for Yunxiao Kingdom.
Although Jun Lingyun couldn't bear to break the emperor's good mood, there was still news that he had to tell the emperor.
"Father, during this trip to Qingfeng Mountain, I met the master of the Life and Death Sect."
As expected, the emperor stopped laughing. How could the man who was hiding in the dark and plotting and plotting be exposed to Jun Lingyun so easily?
"Who is he?"
Jun Lingyun looked at the emperor and uttered three words clearly.
"Sikong Yu!"
The emperor's eyes widened suddenly and he took a step back. Eunuch Fu quickly stepped forward to support him.
Is he still alive? Is that person still alive? Not only alive, but also transformed into the master of the life and death sect? A scholar who founded a world-famous killer organization? How is this possible?
