"The prince knew that he was traveling to the south of the Yangtze River and was imprisoned."
Seeing this line of words, Zhou Ci's pupils tightened and his heart beat violently.
They originally planned to wait until they went to the brothel and understood the cause and effect of the square handkerchief before they proposed to go to Jiangnan.
He thought that he might be hindered by Yanque, but he didn't expect that Yanque's reaction to this matter would be so big!
Thinking of Yanque's unusual attitude towards Chu Luoci, Zhou Ci felt sour and bitter in his heart.
He couldn't help but think, why did Yanque get to know Chu Luoci first?
Why did he meet Chu Luoci late?
If Chu Luoci knew him from the beginning, would they have been together long ago?
However, this thought only stayed in Zhou Ci's mind for a few seconds and was quickly suppressed by him.
In any case, he was lucky to meet Chu Luoci in this life.
He admires this tough and bright woman and is willing to make certain efforts for the future of the two of them.
Even if Chu Luoci only regards him as a good friend now, as long as he leaves Prince Huai's Mansion and there is no banquet in front of him, one day, he will definitely be able to move Chu Luoci's heart!
Thinking like this, Zhou Ci became more determined in his decision to bring Chu Luoci back to Jiangnan.
The most urgent task now is to find a way to rescue Chu Luoci from the courtyard where he was imprisoned by Yanque.
He thought of many ways to do this.
He first tried to attack the guards guarding Chu Luoci, but soon failed.
Those are the most loyal soldiers under Yanque, and he simply refuses to accept either soft or hard orders.
Although Zhou Ci had a few friends in Kyoto, they were all fair-weather friends. As soon as he heard that the matter was related to Prince Huai's Mansion and the famous Prince Huai's Banquet, he immediately stayed away from him.
Only at this time did Zhou Ci truly realize that Yanque was serious.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ci thought of something.
Maybe he can start with Fu Yun and Chu Ruanruan?
Both of them should hope that Chu Luoci can leave Prince Huai's Mansion.
He did this carefully and contacted Chu Ruanruan and Fu Yun respectively.
He even informed the two of them of Chu Luoci's decision to leave Prince Huai's Mansion. When the two heard about it, they expressed that they would give it a try even if they were under pressure from the banquet.
So the two of them went to find Yanque separately. However, not only did they not let Yanque release Chu Luoci, they were severely reprimanded.
Although the two of them wanted Chu Luoci to leave Prince Hua's Mansion as soon as possible, one of them, Fu Yun, was carefully waiting for her wedding to Yanque, not daring to make any mistakes;
The other Chu Ruan Ruan had just been punished by Yanque and was even more afraid to make any extraordinary move.
For a moment, Zhou Ci felt that no one in the huge palace could help him!
Three more days passed. Chu Luoci couldn't wait for Zhou Ci's reply, so he thought of another way.
She controlled a sparrow and asked Zhou Ci how things were going.
Zhou Ci then used the sparrow to convey the news to Chu Luoci, roughly talking about the things that had been going against each other in the past few days.
After the sparrow left, Zhou Ci had been anxiously waiting for a reply.
Another day passed, and he finally received Chu Luoci's reply.
There were only three words in the letter: Looking for the imperial concubine.
After Zhou Ci thought for a moment, he understood the meaning of Chu Luoci's move.
There are many people who want Chu Luoci to leave Prince Huai's Mansion, but the only one who can really make Yanque compromise is the imperial concubine.
What's more, the imperial concubine didn't like Chu Luoci in the first place, but now her eyes are full of Fu Yun, who is about to become her daughter-in-law, so she will definitely help them.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Ci hurriedly entered the palace.
In the palace.
The imperial concubine is drinking tea with Aunt Zheng.
When they heard about Zhou Ci's purpose, both of them were stunned.
The imperial concubine gently hid the smile on her lips, thinking to herself, isn't this just sleepiness that met the pillow?
But she wouldn't tell her clearly that she wanted Chu Luoci to leave. Instead, she sighed softly.
"I know, I feel sorry for you and Miss Chu, and this matter is indeed a joke by Que'er."
"It just so happens that I have some other things to talk to Que'er about. I will go back to the palace with you today."
The things that the imperial concubine wanted to tell Yanque were naturally what Fu Yun came to tell her before, about how to deal with the princess.
Since Zhou Ci told her about Chu Luoci's departure, it was a good idea to solve it together.
So Zhou Cidian and his concubine, Nanny Zheng, went to the palace together.
In the palace.
Yanque is very busy these days.
There was no other reason. Since she decided to marry Fu Yun, the imperial concubine went to the emperor to ask for a decree to let him stay at home for the next few days to prepare for their marriage.
This also expresses the importance attached to the cloud.
Therefore, after the imperial concubine arrived, she saw Yanque directly.
At the banquet, everyone bowed politely.
"Why did the mother and concubine come to the palace?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "I can't come and see you if I have nothing to do?"
After she finished speaking, she sighed with emotion.
"Oh, it's all my fault. Ever since you left the palace to build a palace, I thought that you had grown up, and I definitely didn't want my mother and concubine to interfere more in your own life, so I didn't come to see you much. After all,
It strengthened our mother-son bond."
"That's why I came here to see you."
Of course Yanque knew that the imperial concubine must have come because she had something to do.
Most likely it was because of what Fu Yun had told him before about how to deal with Chu Ruan Ruan.
So he replied politely, "The mother-in-law made a strong statement. No matter how old the child is, he is still the mother-in-law's child."
The imperial concubine smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, good boy, I really have something to tell you when I come here today."
"I heard that you punished the princess for a trivial matter?"
She said with disapproval on her face, "Que'er, you did something wrong. The princess is the master of the queen's house. Even if she makes any mistakes, she must have a good talk with her. What's more, you have been married for so long.
There has been no movement among the heirs in the house. For the sake of the royal family’s reputation, this first child has to come out of the concubine’s belly, otherwise the ministers in the court will accuse you of violating the rules of etiquette.”
Yanque was not surprised to hear what the imperial concubine said.
Things have become a foregone conclusion after so long, and since Fu Yun came to him that day, he knew that this day would come.
He didn't want to get into trouble with the imperial concubine because of this matter, not to mention that even if he relented and let Chu Ruan and Ruan Chu sleep together on the 15th and 15th, he had plenty of ways to keep her away from him.
He simply agreed.
"For the mother and concubine to worry about such a trivial matter is because the child is unfilial. If the child finds out, he will tell the princess."
Seeing Yanque's cooperation, the look of satisfaction on the imperial concubine's face became even greater.
"Okay, okay, you are the best. In this case, I will talk to you about another thing."
Yanque frowned: "Concubine, do you have any other advice?"
"What my concubine wants to tell you is about Chu Luoci. I heard that you imprisoned Chu Luoci in the palace and did not allow her to leave?"
Yanque frowned even more tightly now.
"Where did my concubine hear this?"
"Still, where do you want to hear it from? There is no airtight wall in this world! You act in such a big way, and all the guards have surrounded Chu Luoci's courtyard! Are you afraid that people won't know?"
"What on earth do you want to say?"
"My mother-in-law hopes that you will let Chu Luoci leave immediately!"
