The peerless and dark princess

Chu Lianyao was so anxious to discuss his daughter's affairs and yet he still cared about her feelings. At this moment, Yu Yan'er felt a little better.

"I just couldn't calm down, and now I've been called out by the servants. Qinya, our Chu family only has one maid, Xuan'er. How can I not be afraid? They are the royal family. If we are not careful, the Chu family will also be implicated. Oh, what do you think we are doing..."

Yu Yan'er paused and didn't say anything else. She had risked her life to summon Chu Moxuan.

"Sister-in-law, Xuan'er's problem will be solved. Parents, A Yue and their younger generations will also find a way. Look, Ge'er reminded Xuan'er. Maybe with Ge'er's cleverness, she would have thought of a solution a long time ago." Huang Qinya said these words to comfort Yu Yan'er, but in her heart she still had great hope that Mu Wange could see through the situation and could come up with a solution.

Chu Lianyao was talking about this matter with Lu Yishan and Chu Tianxiong, and Chu Lianyue had just heard Huang Qinya say it in his room. He also knew that his elder brother Chu Lianyao would come to his parents, so he hurried over.

When Chu Lianyue came over, Chu Lianyao had just told the two elders about Yu Yaner's worries and the conspiracy of the person in the deep palace.

"Boss, I haven't thought about this all this time. Well, it's true. Mo Xuan will be coming of age in October, so it's time to get married. Right now, the Chu family's relatives are definitely being watched by the princes. It's not just Xuan'er; I'm afraid those two's marriages are being watched as well. Therefore, our Chu family must work together. I haven't been involved in matters for years, and the Empress has probably forgotten about it. However, she is the Empress after all, and the Chu family attracts attention. If I or your father went to the palace to see His Majesty, I'm afraid the officials would think that we, the Prince of Yan's Mansion, are ignoring the law and disrespecting the Imperial Family. After all, our family holds half of the military power, besides the imperial family and His Majesty..."

Chu Lianyao and Chu Lianyue agreed. Once Chu Tianxiong and Lu Yishan went to the palace, even if His Majesty trusted the Chu family, he would still have some doubts. The current His Majesty was not the late Emperor. Although Lu Yishan was His Majesty's aunt, she was not his biological aunt.

"Father, Mother, could it be that the Queen really arranged for her to marry the Second Prince? Chen Yunfeng had just beaten Ge'er not long ago, and he's been having a close relationship with Ge'er's concubine sister..."

"Boss, where's that calm demeanor you had in the court? Xuan'er will definitely not marry into the royal family. Aren't you thinking of a solution? First, get Yan'er and Qinya here, and also get Lixiu and his siblings here, so we can all work together to find a solution. Forget about Ge'er and his siblings, let them rest. Ge'er's Shangshu Mansion is also a problem..."

"Mom, my sister-in-law and I are here."

Huang Qinya came in with Yu Yan'er and bowed slightly, then called the maid beside her, "Go, call the young master and the young lady over."

"Okay, you two come."

Madam Chu stepped forward and took Yu Yan'er's hand. "Yan'er, it was me who didn't notice Xuan'er. Besides, Ge'er and his sister came over these past two days, and there are the two children left by Wanran, so... Yan'er, it's not time yet. Let's work together to find a solution. We will definitely not let Xuan'er..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I, as a mother, hadn't thought of this before. Speaking of which, if Ge'er hadn't told Xuan'er, she probably wouldn't have known about the intricacies of the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Ge mentioned it to Xuan'er, and that's when she got anxious and came to tell me, her mother."

Yu Yan'er looked at Madam Chu's eyes sincerely with slightly red eyes, and held Madam Chu's hand tightly.

"Hmm? That girl Ge'er actually understood what the Queen of the Hundred Flowers Banquet was planning?"

"Yes, Xuan'er just told me before she went back to her room. Xuan'er thought she would just show up like usual, so she didn't expect so much. So when we were visiting the temple today, Ge'er talked to Xuan'er about it..."

Yu Yan'er and Huang Qinya carefully helped their mother-in-law Lu Yisan to sit down in the main seat, and then sat down on the two seats on the side.

"I didn't expect that several of our elders here are not as insightful as that teenage girl Wange. I'm afraid she must have suffered a lot in the Shangshu Mansion to become like this."

Old Master Chu, Chu Lianyao, and Chu Lianyue felt a pang of sadness when they heard this. As men, they naturally understood that to use a Hundred Flowers Banquet to figure out the conspiracy behind it required more than just intelligence and the ability to see through the surface. Their sons, Chu Lixiu and Chu Lixiao, were not as good as Mu Wange, but she was younger than them, even a few months younger than Chu Moxuan...

"From now on, we should just love Ge'er and her brother more. What's worrying now is Xuan'er's matter. We have to be respectful and not let Xuan'er be excluded from the Empress's plan..."

"Mom, we've been thinking about it too. Even though Dad and I are both men, we don't really understand what goes on in a woman's boudoir. We really don't have any good ideas."

Chu Lianyao said impatiently. Chu Lianyao was indeed anxious. In the entire Chu family, there was only one girl, Chu Moxuan. In the past, Mu Wange was not close to the Chu family. Since Chu Moxuan was the only one in the family, everyone doted on her.

What he said was true. The only legitimate daughter of the Chu family was Chu Moxuan. Even if the Chu family liked Mu Wange and doted on her, in this world, all everyone knew was that Chu Moxuan was the daughter of Prince Chu.

Who wouldn't want to marry the ambitious prince of Dali? Marrying Chu Moxuan would give him the capital to conquer the world. Therefore, it was understandable that the queen planned to do something for the second prince.

"Grandpa! Grandma!"

Chu Lixiu's clear voice came from the door, interrupting Chu Lianyao who was about to speak.

"Li Xiu, Li Xiao, and Li Yin are here. Where's Xuan'er?"

"Grandma, I'm here."

Chu Moxuan came in looking refreshed, but her slightly red eyes revealed her mood.

"Xuan'er, come, come to Grandma. Don't be afraid, Grandma and Grandpa are here, as well as your parents, uncles, and aunts. They will find a way."

"What is there for my sister to be afraid of? She has beaten up every dandy boy in Kyoto."

Chu Liyin said nonchalantly.

"Li Yin, you don't even know what's going on, why are you talking nonsense about your sister?"

Huang Qinya stepped forward and pinched Chu Liyin's ear tightly, "Go and apologize to your sister."

"Aunt, Li Yin is right. Xuan'er beat up all those people. If it were just those people, Xuan'er wouldn't be afraid, but they are the royal family..."

"Grandma, Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, Xuan'er, what is this matter that requires us as a family to discuss together?"

Li Xiu realized that this matter was unusual, so he was no longer so casual and became a little more steady.

Chu Lixiao next to him also put away his cynical look.

"Li Xiu, mother is going to take Xuan'er to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace in a few days. This..."

Yu Yan'er took Chu Moxuan's hand and told her the story.

"So, in order to gain the support of our Chu family for the Second Prince, the Empress is very likely to grant Xuan'er a marriage and let her marry the Second Prince, Chen Yunfeng? If she is not sure, it is very likely to ruin Xuan'er."

Chu Lixiu's tone became colder with every word he spoke, and even Chu Lixiao felt how terrifying Chu Lixiu was.
