Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Therefore, Chu Ci was only willing to believe a very small part of the words of the Chu couple.

Chu Ci really had no idea whether the person behind the scenes was smart or stupid. Every time, he would either make a plan that could be easily seen through, or he would just use a killing move to kill the person once and for all.

Are they insignificant people? Or is there another conspiracy?

Chu Ci couldn't figure it out, but he could use the Chu couple. "I can help you plead with the Fifth Prince, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed. After all, the Fifth Prince has also been abandoned by the Emperor. What can a prince who has fallen out of favor do?"

As expected, the Chu couple were not satisfied with this, "No, Chu Ling'er must come back."

Chu Ci rolled his eyes after hearing this. He was really spoiled by them. "I don't have that ability. Why don't you go and beg for it yourself? Or just die. Anyway, I don't believe what you say."

Chu Xiaxiong and Li Yanran were almost so angry that they almost passed out. But at this moment, they could do nothing about it. "We know."

Afterwards, the two left reluctantly.

Chu Junyi felt guilty and mouthed, "I'll go back and take a look first," and followed with his son and brother.

Chu Ci did not stop them, because after they left, she took Fan Jingrui to find Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan, and then expressed her doubts one by one.

Finally, she made her purpose clear: "Husband, Grandpa, Grandma, you are all smart people, please help us analyze what the mastermind behind this is trying to do."

However, Chu Ci's information was too mixed, and he added his own speculation. The three racked their brains and came to only one conclusion: the person behind the scenes was secretly amassing a large amount of money.

"If it's for making money? The second prince has a gold mine, so that can be ruled out." Chu Ci blurted out a piece of information that shocked everyone present.

Chu Ci seemed to be unaware of this, and continued, "Besides, fifteen years ago, the Second Prince was only three years old. It's unlikely that the other princes were involved. Excluding the fights between the princes, could it be the Tatars?"

It was so simple and crude. Fan Jingrui shook his head: "It's not that simple."

Chu Ci was puzzled and asked, "Isn't that so? But isn't Concubine Ming a spy of the Tatars? They played a role in framing the prince."

Chu Ci asked again, Fan Jingrui's eyes flickered slightly, but he just shook his head.

Chu Ci was anxious: "If they are not Tatars, could they be people from Southern Xinjiang? No, haven't they been hiding in Southern Xinjiang and not coming out? They can't be neither of them, right? In the end, they made so many troubles just to vent their anger? Only a fool would do such a thing."

Chu Ci felt his head was in a mess, and finally he just randomly guessed: "The person behind the scenes spent so much effort, it can be seen that his power is not strong. Could it be that someone is trying to rebel? After all, every dynasty will have a few fish that slip through the net and try to stir up trouble."

Chu Ci really made such a reckless guess that Fan Jingrui's veins popped out. "Stop guessing. The truth will come out one day. Before that, all we have to do is protect ourselves. Contact Dr. Hua as soon as possible."

Fan Jingrui said, and deliberately glanced at Chu Ci's abdomen. Chu Ci shuddered, and immediately ignored everything else. "When will Doctor Hua arrive?"

"It will probably take at least half a year at the fastest. After all, Doctor Hua often goes in and out of deep mountains and forests, so he may not be able to receive the letter in time." Fan Jingrui did not lie.

But Chu Ci is now living a miserable life!

In addition, Chu Ci always felt that the matter of exchanging lives was not that simple, but the Chu family had always stood in the way, so even if he wanted to guess, he had no way to start. This was the most troublesome thing.

How could the emperor not have a headache after hearing the news? He had been on the throne for 30 years. In the first 10 years, he had really worked hard to govern the country, but later, more and more people flattered him. The emperor began to feel proud, thinking that under his governance, the country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace.

Gradually, he stopped listening to advice, otherwise he would not have exiled the Fan family without verification.

However, now, one thing after another showed him that the Great Zhou was only prosperous on the surface, and behind the scenes, anyone dared to stir up trouble in the capital. His old face was almost shattered.

But he is the emperor, how can an emperor be wrong?

Therefore, the only ones who were wrong were the Chu family, the eldest princess, and even the Fan family. What Grand Tutor Fan reported to the court every day were just trivial matters. (In the emperor's mind, officials' corruption and princes' bribery of officials were just trivial matters.) Once exiled, could it be that the Ren and Du meridians were opened?

The emperor became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. "Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me. Don't let go of even an inch of the Princess, the Fan family, and the Chu family."

If the emperor wants to investigate someone, basically no one can escape.

The eldest princess was no exception, so all the things that the prince consort did behind the princess' back were investigated. Among them, the prince consort imprisoned the original master, and had a daughter with a famous prostitute in the capital, and then swapped her with Chu Xiaxiong and his wife.

However, Chu Ci, who was in Jiangyou, was unaware of this.

The further south you go, the hotter the weather becomes and the more rampant the mosquitoes become.

Although Chu Ci had prepared high-quality mosquito repellent incense bags, mosquito coils, floral water, mosquito repellent liquid and even insecticide for everyone, they had been trekking in the wild all the time!

The role these things play is really limited.

Almost everyone who has lived in the north all their lives has their bodies covered with large mosquito bites, which makes them miserable.

Fortunately, Chu Ci provided everyone with spiritual spring water almost uninterruptedly along the way. Otherwise, if the situation continued to develop in this way, it would only be a matter of time before they contracted malaria.

In this era, there is no specific medicine to treat malaria.

However, what you fear often comes true. First, Liu Balang's grandmother felt weak, had a headache, and had sore limbs. Later, more and more people began to feel chills, shivering, and shaking. In just two days, even the fifth prince had such symptoms.

Qian Chuanzi and his companions often walked on this road and had seen many people die from this disease. When they saw this situation, they understood what was going on and were extremely frightened.

Qian Chuanzi had no choice but to find Chu Ci in private: "Madam, the Fifth Prince's illness looks very serious. Do you have any solution?"

What could Chu Ci do? She didn't know any medical skills. But this kind of thing couldn't be left alone. "Let's go to the city and find a better doctor. When I was young, I vaguely heard a prescription from my master, but I don't know if it will work."

"Hey, hey. I'll go and ask the doctor to come in right now." Because of Chu Ci's performance along the way, Qian Suanzi had complete trust in Chu Ci.
