Royal Palace

After the morning court session, the ministers left the palace one after another.

Chu Chenyu also walked towards the palace gate. The Sixth Prince Chu Chenxuan followed behind him. When they were almost at the palace gate, Chu Chenyu saw Chu Chenxuan still following him and asked, "Sixth brother, where are you going with me?"

"Second brother, I just want to ask if Lanmei should be safe. I heard that Liu Qingxiu... is that true?"

"Well, who told you that?"

"Someone in the palace spread it."

"Has anyone in the palace heard about it?" Chu Chenyu asked doubtfully.

"Did you learn this from my mother? Is this true or false?"

"Don't worry, isn't Sister Lan protected by my third brother? Go back, I have something else to do."

"it is good"

……

Chu Chenyu left the palace and asked the driver to go directly to the back door of his grandfather's house, Prime Minister Xue's Mansion. He got off the carriage at the back door. He quietly entered Prime Minister Xue's Mansion through the back door and came to his grandfather's study.

When the guard at the door saw that it was Chu Chenyu, he bowed as "Your Highness" and quickly opened the curtain to let Chu Chenyu in.

"Grandpa!"

"Yu'er, why are you here?"

Xue Xiang had just finished his morning court session and had just changed his clothes before entering the study. Chu Chenyu sat next to Xue Xiang.

"Grandfather, I received news last night that Liu Qingxiu brought people to chase Lanmei. She wanted to replace Lanmei..."

"Well, this little girl is quite open-minded and isn't picky." Unexpectedly, this old fox could point out Liu Qingxiu's true face so accurately.

"She was kicked out of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. She has lost the chance to find a backer in Western Chu. She and the Second Prince of Southern Chu are senior and junior brothers, and I heard that he is still in love with her. She has no choice but to take this step."

"Well, Chu Chenjing is still here. She doesn't have the ability to assassinate Lan'er."

"Grandfather, I have found out that she brought a lot of people with her this time, and I have sent people to stop her."

"What's wrong, Yu'er, are you still thinking about her? You can't bear to do anything to her." Xue Xiang looked up at him and said coldly.

"No, Grandfather, I put her down a long time ago."

"It's best to let her go. Why don't you just stop her instead of decisively dealing with her?"

"Grandfather, it's useful to keep her."

"Humph, you still miss her in your heart, right? What use is she to you? You have to know that you haven't got that position yet, so don't let women ruin your business. When you get that position, you can have any woman you want."

"Grandfather, I know you are always thinking about me."

Seeing that he was still trying to argue, Xue Xiang said angrily, "It's good to know. Then why can't you do anything to her? This will cause endless troubles."

"Grandfather, don't be angry. I really don't care about her anymore. I found out that she can make a lot of powerful poisons. If she is really the daughter of Lai Gong, then she can definitely make the magic water. I want to use her to deal with the prince."

After hearing what Chu Chenyu said, Xue Xiang habitually touched his beardless chin, thought for a while and said, "Yu'er, your idea is good, but this woman is not simple. You can't control her, unless..."

"Grandfather, unless, unless what?" Chu Chenyu asked Xue Xiang with shining eyes.

"Unless you marry her as a concubine, she will have the potential to be used by you."

"Concubine? My father won't agree." Chu Chenyu said in annoyance. It seems that Chu Chenyu is still thinking about Liu Qingxiu.

Xue Xiang thought for a while and said, "Don't worry for now, there will be a way. Now just as you said, send more people to stop her, and don't let her go to the Southern Chu Kingdom."

"Grandfather, you are right. Once Lanmei and Liang Haobo get married, she will have no hope. Your grandson will extend an olive branch to her again."

"Well, Yu'er, your thoughts are much more mature now. Grandfather is very pleased." Xue Xiang looked at Chu Chenyu with a slight smile on his face. This old fox is really good at playing the game. He slaps him and gives him a date.

He went on to say, "Yu'er, you gave up the assassination of Chu Chenjing when you were outside Zhenyang City. This shows that you are really mature. There will be many opportunities in the future. You must be steady and..."

The Imperial Study in the Palace

The emperor was resting in the side hall, while the prince was in the imperial study, helping the emperor review memorials. If the emperor had not yet dealt with the Xue Xiang lineage, he would have handed everything over to the prince and laid down like a modern person.

Ever since the poison in the prince's body was cleared by Ouyang Yunyao and his body recovered, the emperor handed over many things to the prince, and he lived a leisurely life every day.

The prince now had no choice but to sit here and help the emperor review the memorials. With a "ding dong" sound, the prince took out his mobile phone from his sleeve. This phone was given to him by Chu Chenjing from Ouyang Yunyao before he left. He thought it was great and it was very convenient to contact his third brother. He couldn't put it down every day.

The person on the phone was Chu Chenjing, who sent a text message through Ouyang Yunyao's phone.

The prince took the text message and came to the side hall, "Father, there is news from my third brother."

"Tell me quickly, what's the news?"

"..., Third Brother has interrogated the men in black. According to the men in black, these people are from the King of Yan of Beiyue State. They want to assassinate the princess and prevent the alliance between Western Chu State and Southern Chu State." The prince told the emperor that Chu Chenjing and his ship encountered a group of men in black last night and came to assassinate Chu Chenlan.

"I didn't know that the King of Yan has such a long hand. It seems that they still want to deal with us, Western Chu..."

"Father, if the King of Yan of Beiyue Kingdom is not removed, there will be no peace between us and Beiyue Kingdom."

"Well, this time Jing'er is sending Lan'er to marry, and there are so many people trying to stop him. The journey will definitely be dangerous. Let him and Yao'er pay attention to their safety."

"Don't worry, Father. My third brother and his wife will be fine. The weapons they have now are very powerful."

"Yao'er is really Jing'er's lucky star. Yao'er is so smart. How come she knows everything? The little cube in Yao'er's hand can also send messages. It's much better than those carrier pigeons."

"Father, I can still talk to my third brother and the others."

"How come this thing is so magical? When Jing'er comes back, let Yao'er make one for me too."

……

On the big boat in the Cang River, Chu Chenjing and his wife, who were missed by everyone, were having lunch on the boat. The rain had stopped, the sky was clear, and the sun had risen.

The people on the boat were delighted to see the long-lost sun.

In Chu Chenlan's room, two maids were telling her what happened on the boat last night. "Princess, I have inquired about it. Those men in black last night came to assassinate you, the princess."

"Who assassinated this princess? Who is it?"

"I heard that they were sent by the King of Yan of Beiyue. There were a lot of them, but most of them were killed by the people of Prince Jing. Only a few escaped."

"Fortunately, I have my third brother. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would not have peace on this journey." At this time, Chu Chenlan felt that it was fortunate that her royal brother did not kill her third brother.

"Princess, when I went downstairs, I heard a piece of news from Prince Jing's people. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Speak quickly."

"What I heard was that Miss Liu is not the daughter of Master Liu. Yes, she is the daughter of her master."

"Ah... her master, how could it be?"

"Princess, it's true. His master used to be the second young master of Duke Pan's mansion in Kyoto."

"Duke Pan's Mansion? Not..."
