Chapter 490 Concubine Wu

Chapter 490

Qiao Anan frowned slightly when she heard this, feeling a little puzzled. She was weak after giving birth and would not see any guests except those very close to her, let alone men.

If a normal person knew about his situation, he wouldn't have the nerve to come and ask to see me, right?

Qiao Anan subconsciously looked at Chu Haojue beside her, only to see that he also had a look of suspicion on his face.

"Do you know whose son that young man is? Has he been here before?" Qiao Anan thought for a moment and asked the servant in a low voice.

The servant thought for a moment and shook his head, then remembered that the door was closed and the young lady couldn't see him shaking his head, so he quickly replied, "Young lady, the young man said his last name was Zhou. Oh, and he also brought a jade pendant. He said that after the young lady and His Highness had looked at it, they would see him."

After hearing this, Chu Haojue's eyes instantly became sharp. He gently put down the rattle he was using to tease the baby and said to Qiao Anan, "Don't worry, I'll go see who's coming."

After saying that, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out the door.

Qiao Anan didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, she is a woman, and it is not appropriate for her to meet other men during the confinement period.

When Chu Haojue arrived outside the Qiao family's door, he saw Zhou Chengyu standing at the door.

"Cousin?" Chu Haojue didn't expect that the person who came was Zhou Chengyu.

"Cousin, can I come in?" Zhou Chengyu turned around and looked at Chu Haojue and asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, cousin, please come in!" Chu Haojue didn't understand why Zhou Chengyu came to the Qiao family at this time.

However, he believed that Zhou Chengyu must have something important to tell him, which was why he came here secretly.

Chu Haojue led Zhou Chengyu to the Qiao family's study. Along the way, although Chu Haojue was full of doubts as to why Zhou Chengyu came to visit at this time, Chu Haojue guessed that the matter must be complicated.

Perhaps, this matter is also related to the envoys from the six countries coming to the Chuyuan Kingdom.

The two of them soon arrived at the study. Chu Haojue had tea served and then sent the servants away.

"Cousin, is there something important that brought you here?" Chu Haojue asked first.

Zhou Chengyu nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Cousin, I'm here this time because of the six kingdoms visiting Chu Yuan. I received news that the six kingdoms are ostensibly here to attend the Chu Yuan Queen's Thousand Years Banquet, but in reality, the six kingdoms have secretly discussed and are planning to unite against Chu Yuan, forcing it to hand over its gunpowder and annexing it. They intend to stir up trouble at the banquet."

Chu Haojue's face instantly turned ugly when he heard this.

Chu Haojue frowned as he looked at Zhou Chengyu and asked, "Is Xijing Kingdom also among the six kingdoms?"

Chu Haojue received news from six countries, including Xijing Kingdom.

But now, Zhou Chengyu came early.

And tell me this news?

This made Chu Haojue a little confused about what Xijing Kingdom was planning.

"Cousin, my mother and I will never forget it. If it weren't for you, we would have died in that palace fight. You gave my mother and I our lives. If Chu Yuan Kingdom wants it, Xijing Kingdom will give it to us with both hands, so what?" Zhou Chengyu said with some self-mockery.

He naturally knew how powerful the gunpowder was. If his cousin had not taken out the gunpowder, he and his mother would have been two dead souls by now.

"The reason we agreed to form an alliance with the other five countries is that we want to infiltrate the enemy and pass on more useful information to my cousin and uncle." Zhou Chengyu laid out his plan.

Although Chu Haojue had never doubted Zhou Chengyu, he was still touched when he heard Zhou Chengyu say this. After all, this at least proved that he had not helped the wrong person.

"Does your aunt know that you are doing this?" Chu Haojue looked at Zhou Chengyu and asked.

"In order not to alert the enemy, I didn't tell anyone about this matter. In fact, I only told my cousin. Even this time, when I sneaked into the Chu Yuan Kingdom among the envoys, my mother was unaware of it." Since Zhou Chengyu planned to be a spy for Chu Yuan Kingdom, he prepared for the worst.

"Cousin, I will never forget this great kindness." Chu Haojue first bowed to Zhou Chengyu.

It also represents that the Chu Yuan State accepted the great favor of the Xijing State.

As for what Chu Yuanming wanted to do, he would have to wait until he entered the palace to discuss with Chu Yuanming before making a decision.

"I wonder where my cousin is going now?" Chu Haojue thought, Zhou Chengyu risked his life to come to him to inform him of the news, so he should protect his safety.

"Don't worry, cousin. This time I came here mixed in with the envoys from Xijing State. I have to go back quickly soon." Zhou Chengyu said with a smile.

"Won't they be suspicious if you go back at this time?" Chu Haojue asked somewhat worriedly.

Zhou Chengyu shook his head, a trace of calmness flashing in his eyes. "Don't worry, cousin. I had already made arrangements when I came out. At that time, I pretended to be unwell and found an excuse to leave the team, saying that I needed to see a doctor to get medicine. I was delayed for a while, so others wouldn't be suspicious."

What Zhou Chengyu didn't say was that when he came, he was just an unknown servant and no one would care whether he went back or not.

Chu Haojue nodded slightly, his expression still tinged with worry. "Even so, you must act with caution. The other nations are quite ambitious right now, and if you're not careful, you'll be in danger. From now on, you should stay with the envoys. If anything happens, I'll send someone to find you. Don't risk coming out again."

"Then I'll have to trouble my cousin." Zhou Chengyu thought to himself. Now that they have arrived at the territory of Chu Yuan Kingdom, it will definitely be more convenient for Chu Haojue's people to handle everything than for him to take the risk of coming out.

Qiao Anan was anxiously waiting for Chu Haojue to come back in the house.

After all, she was also very curious about who that man was.

However, Chu Haojue hasn't come back for such a long time, obviously, something is not simple.

East Palace

"Your Highness, are you going to Concubine Wu's place or Concubine Deng's place tonight?" The eunuch looked at the Crown Prince respectfully and asked carefully.

The prince pretended not to hear and continued to review the memorial in his hand.

The young eunuch looked embarrassed, not daring to disobey the emperor's will, nor urging the prince.

After waiting for almost a cup of tea, the eunuch saw that the prince still ignored him, so he whispered again, "Your Highness, the emperor said that if you don't choose, he will not look for anyone else."

Although the young eunuch didn't know who the emperor was looking for, but thinking of the Crown Princess who had not yet woken up, the young eunuch thought that perhaps he should go find a miracle doctor to save the Crown Princess.

The prince was holding a red pen at this time. After hearing what the eunuch said, he held the pen in his hand and was stunned for a while. He knew that although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to compromise in order to save the princess.

"Let's stay at Concubine Wu's place tonight." The prince thought to himself, Tutor Wu was his master, and he had met Wu Yuru several times.

He thought, perhaps Concubine Wu would understand him?
