Rebirth Of the Vicious Empress - C99
First Madame was startled, Chu Jinxiu frowned, “Second Brother killed someone? When did this happen? Wasn’t he in the manor just now … ” Suddenly, she thought of something, and stood up, “Could it be that the one who died was Liu Changqi?”
When the old woman heard the name, she immediately shook her head. “No.”
Chu Jinxiu couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved, “Isn’t it good that it’s like this? But as long as it’s a dead person, we can deal with it later. Is it worth it to make such a big fuss over it? Does the dead person know who it is? ”
After the old woman heard this, she said: “In reply to Eldest Miss, the military lord who came to visit said that Second Young Master had killed some young Heir of the Marquis’ Mansion. He wants, he wants Old Master to go to the imperial prison.”
Chu Jinxiu’s relieved smile stiffened on his face, “Didn’t you say it wasn’t Liu Changqi who died?”
When the saw this, she hurriedly said: “First Miss, how could you not recognize a single character? How could you not know the name of the Crown Prince Palace’s Crown Prince? Ma’am, how do you think this is… Madam, what is the matter with you? ”
Chu Jinxiu looked over, but she did not know when Madame Song was lying unconscious on the bed, “Nanny Zhao, take good care of mother, I will go take a look.”
However, she did not see that devastatingly beautiful face in the guest hall. Chu Jinxiu felt slightly more at ease.
Chu Changxi had sharp eyes, being the first to see Chu Jinxiu, he immediately went forward to welcome him, “Big sis, this is Master Lin from Imperial Guards, she said that Second Brother killed Heir of Marquis of Chengen and had ordered to follow up on this matter.”
As she finished speaking, Chu Changxi couldn’t help but lower her voice.
As though she had sensed that someone had arrived, the Master Lin slowly turned around and revealed a bronze mask. Chu Jinxiu jumped in shock, and then, she slowly bowed and said, “Master Lin, my brother doesn’t have any grudges with the Heir of Marquis of Chengen, so how can I kill him? Imperial Guards have always been fair, so I hope that you can return my elder brother’s innocence. ”
Big Sis is right, Second Brother is a good general who protects his country. How could he know when to break the law, I hope Master Lin can investigate this case thoroughly and restore Second Brother’s innocence.
It was a good thing that the bronze mask concealed all of his expression, “This humble subject greets princess. Prince has instructed this humble subject to investigate this matter thoroughly, this humble subject will naturally give Prince an explanation.”
Earlier, when Chu Qinghuan spoke on Chu Wenjin’s behalf, she actually made Second Brother suffer. Now that they had repeated the same old trick again, Chu Jinxiu was dissatisfied but she suddenly heard Lin Muyan mention the two words “Prince” and her heart immediately tightened.
“That’s only natural, but I have something that Qing Huan doesn’t understand. Master Lin, please inform me.”
Chu Siyuan had originally walked to the door, but upon hearing Chu Qinghuan’s sudden question, she could not help but stop in her tracks. She only heard Lin Muyan’s indifferent voice, “Princess, please speak.”
“I wonder when and where Crown Prince was killed, and who witnessed Second Brother killing people?”
He had long heard Wei San mention the person in front of him being smart. Last time, he saw that she was extremely quick-witted on the drill grounds, but now that he had asked the question, he was definitely not an ordinary woman. It was no wonder that the Prince thought highly of her.
“Reporting to the princess, Crown Prince is drinking at the Orchid House in the Red Courtyard. During this time, he went to the cleaning room and served the courtesans … When people saw that Crown Prince had not returned for a long time, they thought that he had fallen drunk in the clean room. They sent people to find out that he had died a horrible death in the clean room, and Master Gui, who relied on the Red Court, said that today, the Second Young Master of Gui Palace had gone to the Red Court to look for Crown Prince. The coroner said that Crown Prince died from a dagger wound on his chest around one quarter past noon. ”
Hearing that, Chu Qinghuan gently nodded her head, but Chu Jinxiu just stood there in a daze.
Even though it didn’t take more than two hours to go from the General’s Estate to the Red Court, the Second Brother was still aggressively searching for Liu Changqi … Thinking about that, Chu Jinxiu’s face turned pale white, if not for Chu Changxi’s support, he would have fallen to the ground.
“Then this is definitely not what Second Brother is doing. I’m afraid that Master Lin has found the wrong person to suspect.”
Lin Muyan’s eyes flashed with a bright light, “Oh, please advise me, Princess.”
Outside the guest hall, Chu Siyuan’s gaze was deep as he stood with his hands behind his back, listening intently to what was happening inside.
Second Brother said that he was going to look for Crown Prince, the first thing he did was to go to Hou Mansion. From there, it would take him a quarter of an hour to get to the Hou Mansion on horseback, and when Second Brother is angry when he goes out, he might not even ride his horse in, which would take a long time. Since there were no traces of anyone from the Marquis Palace, Second Brother should have been the first to go to Qin Huai Tower to look for Crown Prince, since no one was unaware of Crown Prince’s love for Qin Huai Tower’s Miss Ruo Chu and she was not at Qin Huai Tower either. After all, it was impossible for Second Brother to look for someone from a few restaurants and spend an entire two hours searching for someone from them. I wonder what Master Lin thinks? ”
Lin Muyan remained silent, while Chu Jinxiu stood there in a daze. Could it be that Chu Qinghuan was afraid that she would make things difficult for her in the matters of the brothel, and that was why she was willing to please her?
“Qing Huan is right. Although Wenjin is not a good person, he won’t kill the innocent.”
Chu Siyuan slowly walked in, and looked at Chu Qinghuan with a hint of praise in her eyes, “It’s hard on you.”
Chu Qinghuan slightly lowered her head, the corner of her mouth carrying a bashful smile. Lin Muyan had long known of Chu Siyuan’s arrival, upon seeing him, he nodded his head and said: “Since that’s the case, then I will go back to investigate, but if there are any more questions, please do not blame me.”
Lin Muyan did not give Chu Siyuan any face, and was even less respectful than him. Chu Changxi could not help but say: “What is there to be proud of about a lackey of Imperial Guards?”
Chu Siyuan did not think that he would be the one flattering him. His expression was resentful, and he did not dare say another word.
“When Third Sister speaks, you must pay more attention. Don’t forget that trouble comes from the mouth and the disease comes from the mouth. The Imperial Guards is all-pervasive, don’t you think, Third Sister?” Chu Jinfu slowly walked in, the moment she entered the door, it was filled with ridicule and mockery, and her expression became even more unsightly.
Chu Siyuan could not help but frown, “Didn’t you say that you were hiding this from the Old Mistress? Why are you here, Fuer?”
Chu Jinfu laughed, “Father, if good things do not go out of the door and do evil things for a thousand miles, how can we hide this from Grandmother? Furthermore, she is worried about the Second Brother and is still reciting Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall. ”
Chu Siyuan frowned, “Take good care of your grandmother, tell her that I will take care of your Second Brother, and don’t let her worry.”
Chu Jinfu cutely nodded, and pulled Chu Qinghuan’s hand: “Father, Second Elder Sister and I will go take a look at Chang Le, pity her …” Being glared at by Chu Siyuan, Chu Jinfu no longer spoke, but instead walked out with a cold expression, “Second Elder Sister, what do you mean by saying that in the entire Residence, father is son, father is not son, and brother is not brother?
If it wasn’t for him being familiar with Chu Jinfu, Chu Qinghuan would definitely think that those words were directed at him.
“However, it’s a good thing that Liu Changqi is dead now, so there’s no need for Sixth Sister to marry into the house of the Marquis.” As he spoke till here, Chu Jinfu let out a long sigh. Chu Qinghuan couldn’t help but gently shake his head.
Seeing that, Chu Jinfu could not help but widely open her eyes: “Could it be …”
“That’s right, although this marriage wasn’t really decided, there are a lot of people who know, I’m afraid that in order to take care of our Prime Minister’s reputation, Father will make sure that Sixth Sister and Liu Changqi will marry each other.”
Chu Jinfu immediately raised her voice, “How can this be? He’s above everyone else by herself, could it be that she’s going to use her daughter to befriend this noble?”
Chu Jinfu was excited, but no one else heard it, “Father is also helpless, the Cheng En Marquis Palace only has one child, the eldest daughter is the current Empress, and after all these years, the Marquis Palace has no children, and their only hope is to pass on the heir, but at Marquis’s age, if you continue to be a heir, the eldest son might not be able to do anything to the Marquis family, and if you are too young, the Marquis might not be able to do anything to you. If you marry Liu Changqi, for the sake of the Madam Hou’s sixth sister, you will treat her well.”
Chu Jinfu was not stupid, she was able to figure it out in an instant, but she could not help but say: “But, but Chang Le is younger than me!”
Chu Qinghuan shook her head, “Children of aristocratic families, all marriage is in the hands of their parents, this is the worst case scenario, I can only hope that Sixth Sister can bear it.”
When Nanny Zhou said that Chu Changle had heard of Liu Changqi’s death, she was stunned like a wooden statue. Originally, Chu Changxi wanted her to go with him to the guest hall, but she rejected him.
“Then, then we …” Chu Jinfu found it hard to accept that. After all, something like this actually happened in the Prime Minister’s Estate, which was something that she found somewhat hard to accept.
“Let’s not talk about it later.” Chu Qinghuan comforted her gently. Seeing that Chu Jinfu had calmed down, she walked towards the Pleasant Garden.
It was just that the presence of the Concubine Liu surprised Chu Qinghuan more or less. After all, the Concubine Liu had always been indifferent to this daughter of her.
But since Chu Changle could be a wooden person for ten years, how could Concubine Liu not hide the love she had for her daughter and pretend that she did not care? After all, the reddish circles in her eyes would not lie.
“Second Miss, Fifth Miss.” Concubine Liu immediately stood up and bowed, but Chu Qinghuan stopped her, “Aunt is pregnant, so there’s no need to be so courteous.”
Concubine Liu looked at the face that was right in front of him and couldn’t help but feel that the person in front of him looked exactly like a little miss. Seeing that Chu Changle was calling out to him, Concubine Liu finally made up her mind, “I wonder if Second Miss is free, can I have a word with you?”
The corner of Chu Qinghuan’s mouth rose slightly, “I have some medicinal ingredients that the palace has bestowed to me, Aunt’s body has always been weak, so it’s not bad if I can make up for it. How about you follow me to get some medicinal ingredients? “Although the nurturing of the child is just a word, it would be beneficial for the future delivery of this aunt if we were to walk around for a bit.”
Concubine Liu nodded, “Then I’ll be troubling you with your expenses.”
Tang Mei and Mei Xiang looked around. Concubine Liu walked to the side of Chu Qinghuan, then suddenly stopped in her tracks when she arrived at the side of the Wind-Wave Pavilion. She pleaded with a slightly imploring voice: “Second Miss, can you save Chang Le? She’s just a child! ”
As expected, it was her own flesh that had fallen off, or her own mother’s heart that was pained for her daughter.
“Why would aunty say that? Now that Crown Prince is dead, Sixth Sister and Crown Prince’s marriage will naturally come to an end. It’s not like Father will allow Sixth Sister to marry a dead person.” Chu Qinghuan pretended not to know, but Concubine Liu’s face was anxious. She bent her body and was about to kneel down, but she was stopped by Chu Qinghuan.
“Aunt, what are you doing? If you really get pregnant, then Father will blame Qing Huan.”
Concubine Liu did not stop there for a moment. After a long while, he said, “Second Miss, I beg you, for the sake of the deceased Madam, please save Chang Le!”
