The public opinion in the capital suddenly changed direction. More than half of the civil and military officials still prayed for Chu Xuanzhi to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible. By the way, they also prayed that Chu Xuanzhi canonize Jiang Yunxu as empress as soon as possible.
Hongqiao told Jiang Yunxu the news she had learned early in the morning with a smile.
"No one on the street dares to openly slander the princess. There are many porridge shacks inside and outside the city, all built in the name of the princess. Some people also donated 30,000 taels of silver notes to build temples in the name of the princess."
Hong Qiao heard the two little maids talking about it, and she was still a little in disbelief. After asking about it, she found out that it was true.
Jiang Yunxu was stunned.
Then I quickly understood that this must be Chu Xuanzhi’s handiwork.
"Where is the prince?"
Hong Qiao shook her head.
So Jiang Yunxu went to the yard next door. He didn't see Chu Xunzhi, but he saw Yin Feng who was hurriedly looking tired.
"Princess." Yin Feng bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty is not at home?"
"The prince did not return home last night. Does the princess have something urgent to do with the prince?" Yin Feng was also tired. He spent two nights running around the homes of major ministers in the capital without stopping for a breath.
Jiang Yunxu pursed her lips and then said: "It's nothing important, just go ahead and do your work."
Chu Xuangzhi must be very busy at this juncture. She had something to say, but she didn't want to delay him yet. She just told her maid to notify her if the prince came back.
However, Yin Feng did not dare to conceal any information about Jiang Yunxu, and immediately reported it to Chu Xuanzhi.
"What did you say?" Chu Xuazhi frowned, faintly worried.
Yin Feng said: "Back to the prince, the princess said there is nothing important."
Having said that, Yin Feng could tell that the princess was worried. Chu Xuangzhi hesitated for a moment, summoned Yin Lei, and asked about the past two days.
Yin Lei did not hide anything. He told what happened to Jiang Yunxu in the past few days. Rumors and rumors did not affect Jiang Yunxu's eating and drinking. Princess Qing did not get angry when she came. Everything seemed normal.
Chu Xuanzhi was still worried after hearing this. After finishing what he was doing, he went back before dark and went directly to see her without having time to wash up.
He saw Jiang Yunxu sitting on a chair, holding a book in her hand, reading leisurely. There were fruit snacks on the small coffee table beside her. She had candied fruit in her mouth. He didn't know what touching things she had seen.
I opened my eyes in surprise, and after a long time I turned the page.
"Xu'er." He called out in a low voice.
Jiang Yunxu thought she had heard wrongly. She looked up in surprise and saw Chu Xuazhi coming back, and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Your Majesty is back, have you had a meal?"
Chu Xuanzhi waved his hand: "After eating, come and sit here when you have nothing to do."
He sat down, and Jiang Yunxu poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him. Chu Xuanzhi reached out to take it and pointed to the chair: "Sit down."
She sat down as instructed.
Hong Qiao saw the situation and left wisely.
The room was quiet, and Chu Xuazhi looked at Jiang Yunxu: "Xu'er, are you worried about something?"
Jiang Yunxu hesitated for a moment and then said what was in his heart: "I know that the prince has done a lot of things in private in order to quell the rumors in the past few days. It's because I don't know how to praise him. There is no need for the prince, as long as he can ascend the throne and become the emperor.
My original intention has never changed."
When Chu Xuanzhi heard this, his heart sank.
My original intention is to leave, have a place to stay, have no plots, no pursuit, just want to be with Feng and Brother Tuan.
He was not included in her plans.
"Xu'er, if... I don't become the emperor, will you change your original intention?"
Chu Xuazhi was most worried about this issue. He even considered supporting the young prince to ascend the throne and did not want to imprison Jiang Yunxu.
Jiang Yunxu was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
"Xu'er, I have included you in the future from a long time ago. I have no intention of becoming emperor. As long as I can protect you, what's the point of being an emperor?"
Chu Xuanzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, fearing that he would miss some words if he didn't say anything. He stretched out his long arm and took Jiang Yunxu's hand, and his big hand covered the small hand: "Xu'er, if I were King Xuan, you would
She is the only Princess Xuan. If I become the emperor, you will be the only queen. There will be no one else in the harem and I will allow you to be the only one."
Jiang Yunxu was shocked.
What's going on?
"Xu'er, being an emperor is a forced and helpless act. After this war is over and the government is stabilized, I can let go..."
Jiang Yunxu's fingertips gently placed on Chu Xuanzhi's lips: "What nonsense are you talking about? How many people have worked hard with you? You have suffered a lot to get to this point. How can you just give up?"
