The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Upon seeing this, the Empress Dowager nudged Xu and agreed.

"Well, my little daughter-in-law, you should go and stay with Sheng'er. The second play on this stage is about to begin."

"it is good."

Xu Ke followed his instructions and sat down next to Chu Musheng, enjoying the next song with everyone.

Fortunately, the next track is not one that Xu Ke has heard before.

otherwise......

She was distracted again.

Chu Musheng quietly held Xu Ke's hand and whispered in her ear.

"My beloved, do you want to know why I came here?"

Xu Ke blinked and asked curiously.

"Why?"

Chu Musheng raised the corners of his mouth.

"I missed you, so I came."

License can...

You really know how to play!

She leaned over to Chu Musheng's ear and whispered.

"Your Highness, have you ever heard that deep love brings a short life, while displays of affection bring a quick death?"

Chu Musheng......

My dear, you are really good at chatting.

The show on stage was brilliant, but neither of them was paying attention to it.

Chu Musheng would explain a few things to Xu Keke from time to time, and Xu Keke would laugh out loud at his amusement.

This scene made the surrounding concubines feel panicky again.

After the second play, the Empress Dowager said:

"I am tired too, you can go your separate ways after you have given me your reward."

Everyone donated generously.

I was thinking, next time I see a show on stage, will I still come?

After bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager, Chu Musheng and Xu Keke walked out of the theater and strolled along the official road in the palace.

Xu Keke looked up at Chu Musheng.

"Your Highness, it's great to be able to watch a play with you in the palace today."

Chu Musheng stopped and looked at her gently.

"There will be many more times like this in the future."

The two of them are in love, so sweet...

A silly eunuch came to report.

"Your Highness, the steward of Prince Shou's residence has come to report that Prince Shou... has passed away."

Chu Musheng and Xu Keke were both shocked, and the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.

Chu Musheng frowned and asked, "What happened? When did it happen?"

The eunuch lowered his head and answered.

"Replying to Your Highness, it just happened a while ago. The specific circumstances are still unknown."

Chu Musheng looked at Xu Keke.

"Princess, I need to go to Prince Shou's Mansion. You should go back and rest first."

Xu Ke nodded worriedly.

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Chu Musheng and his guards left in a hurry.

Xu Ke also returned to Prince Sheng's Mansion accompanied by Nanny Wang Dingdang Anxiang.

Chu Musheng rushed to Prince Shou's Mansion, only to see a scene of sorrow in the mansion.

The housekeeper of the mansion is already busy setting up the mourning hall.

White silk flutters in the wind.

The servants all looked sad and were busy preparing for the funeral.

Seeing the Regent coming with his men, Prince Rui, who had arrived earlier, hurried forward.

"Prince Sheng, Prince Shou..."

Prince Rui hesitated to speak, his expression solemn, his eyes filled with regret and sorrow.

At this time, Princess Shou came with several young children and kowtowed to them.

Princess Shou was heartbroken and burst into tears.

"Regent, my prince has been frightened since he fell off his horse while hunting two months ago.

The leg injury did not get better no matter who treated it, and the prince started to have a high fever the day before yesterday.

I asked the palace physician to prescribe medicine for you, but the prince still had a high fever after drinking it.

I watched helplessly as the prince suffered from illness, but was powerless to do anything."

Princess Shou cried out at the top of her lungs.

Several children also started crying.

Those sorrowful cries made those who heard them sad and those who listened to them shed tears.

Chu Musheng took a few steps back, signaled Prince Rui to help Princess Shou up, and comforted her:

"Don't be too sad, sister-in-law. Take care of your health. I will help take care of Brother Shou's funeral arrangements."

King Rui also agreed.

"Yes, my dear sister-in-law, please accept my condolences and take good care of my nephews and nieces."

Chu Mucheng looked at the layout of the mourning hall and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

Prince Shou was two years older than him and was only twenty-three this year, but he passed away first.

Sadly, this is the fate of the men of the Chu royal family. Death will only come earlier and will not exceed thirty.

I remember telling the princess today that we still have plenty of time...

It’s hard to say. I’m afraid I’ll break my promise to the princess.

Chu Musheng ordered his men to assist the housekeeper in preparing all the funeral supplies.

It must be grand and solemn to show the status of the King of Shou.

Just when everyone was busy, an imperial decree came from the palace.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor expressed deep sorrow upon hearing the tragic news.

He specially granted many funeral items and asked the Regent Chu Musheng to be fully responsible for Prince Shou's funeral.

In the next few days, Chu Musheng was busy and exhausted both physically and mentally.

Xu Ke also often went to the Shouwang Mansion to help and comfort the Shouwang Princess and the children.

After the funeral, Chu Musheng fell into deep thought.

Prince Shou's sudden death made him feel powerless to fight against fate.

Thinking of the grief-stricken look on Princess Shou's face, Chu Musheng was afraid that when he was gone one day, what would happen to his beloved concubine?

After returning to the palace, Chu Musheng called Chief Steward Yao and Nanny Wang.

"You two should take stock of all my assets. I want to transfer all of them to the princess."

Chu Musheng said with a serious expression.

Manager Yao and Nanny Wang looked at each other, their mouths wide open.

No, Your Majesty, do you love the Princess so much that you are willing to entrust your life and property to her?

With this adoption, all the power of decision fell into the hands of the princess.

If the princess gets unhappy one day and sells all these properties, the prince will not be able to interfere.

The princess continued to be unhappy and ran away with the money. Wouldn’t the prince lose both his money and his life?

The two Xuanming elders thought further and further away.

I already thought that the prince had no money to eat, so he went to the Empress Dowager to eat...

"Why are you two still standing there? Why don't you go?"

Chu Musheng's low roar was like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

The two were so shocked that they didn't dare to disobey in the slightest. They quickly agreed and went about their business.

You are really overthinking it. Can they change the prince's order?

Besides, even if the prince had nothing, he would have no problem getting rewards from noble ladies because of his unparalleled handsome appearance.

Damn, I was overthinking it again.

How could the prince, who holds such high position and power, have nothing?

Chief Steward Yao and Nanny Wang went to the palace's accountant and began to check all the properties under the prince's name.

After several days of liquidation and formalities, most of Chu Musheng's assets were successfully transferred to Xu Keke's name.

These things are not known to the parties involved.

She took Dingdang and Anxiang to Xie's house.

Because her sister, Xuanyunduo, gave birth to a big fat boy.

This made the entire Xie family very happy, and they immediately sent someone to inform the second wife of the Xu family.

The second wife sent someone to tell Xu Keke.

When Xu Ke heard this, he realized that these were his own sister and nephew, and he had to go and see them no matter what.

Of course, she informed the prince before leaving.

When Chu Musheng learned that the Xie family had a new baby, he found it difficult to stop it.

Moreover, it would be inconvenient for a grown man like him to attend such a happy event when a woman gave birth.
