Feng Qingmo took Qi Yu's hand: "Let's go, we can't stay here for long."
Qi Yu dodged backwards once again, "No."
Feng Qingmo's expression froze. Just then, Jun Zibi returned and landed on the ground. He pointed at the two of them: "Why are you two still here? Something big has happened! "
The two of them were shocked and asked at the same time, "What happened?"
"abandoned crown prince is dead!"
"What?!"
Qi Yu looked at Jun Zibi in shock: "Where did this news come from? "Are you sure?"
Jun Zibi said: "According to the news that came from the palace, it is hopeless for the abandoned crown prince to return to the Eastern Palace.
How could this be?
Qi Yu looked at Feng Qingmo blankly. Feng Qingmo remained silent and his expression slowly became gloomy.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Feng Qingmo said.
This time, Qi Yu was no longer against it. After quietly following Feng Qingmo and Jun Zibi back to the Jun residence, Bi Su also returned back to her home from the scented rice restaurant. Seeing Qi Yu and Feng Qingmo return, Bi Su welcomed them but was unable to say anything. The news of Chu Yizhao suicide also caused Bi Su to be deeply shocked, unable to express her opinion.
Feng Qingmo remained silent throughout the journey. After bringing Qi Yu and Bi Su back, he said: "You guys stay at home. I'll make a trip to the palace to see what's going on."
Feng Qingmo did not enter the room. Under the moonlight, he was standing on the stairs, wearing a set of clear and cold moonlight.
Although he and Chu Yizhao were not brothers who had grown up together, there was still the same blood flowing in their bodies. He had previously saved Chu Yizhao's life in the forest, and later protected Chu Yizhao back to the Ji City, so he must have also remembered this kinship. Therefore, now that Chu Yizhao was dead, it was definitely an unspeakable blow to him as well.
Qi Yu retreated two steps out of the room and could only advise him, "Be careful."
"Yes." Feng Qingmo nodded, and glanced at Jun Zibi, as if to say that he should take good care of the both of them.
Jun Zibi, of course, understood and nodded: "With me here, don't worry."
Feng Qingmo turned around and walked out, and quickly disappeared from Qi Yu's sight.
Bi Su quietly came over to Qi Yu's side and said: "If this is the case, I wonder what kind of changes will occur in the Dongluo?"
If Chu Yizhao died, what kind of change would happen to the Dongluo?
Reshuffling, of course.
Just that, this time, there would be some subtle changes that would happen after the reshuffle, even Chu Yixuan was unsure of what kind of change that would occur.
That's right, Chu Yixuan …
This time, the death of the abandoned crown prince, would it help or obstruct his advance?
Even if Chu Yixuan was here, he probably wouldn't be able to answer this question.
From the surface, the death of the abandoned crown prince would probably help him a lot when he enters the Eastern Palace. After all, the eldest son of the Emperor and the second prince wouldn't have the chance anymore.
However, their Royal Father Elder Chu Zhe had always favored Chu Yizhao and had always been willing to step on his other sons in order to help him, the eldest son of the Emperor, stabilize his position as the crown prince. Now that the crown prince had miserably died, wouldn't that be a huge blow to him?
His heart ached, he was afraid that he would miss Chu Yizhao even more, and would blame Chu Yizhao's death on someone else. Being able to push the blame to someone else was something they, the old Royal Father, were best at.
Although Chu Yizhao had committed suicide just now, when the Crown Princess and her servants had arrived and saw the tragic scene with their own eyes, their Royal Father had no reason to believe that Chu Yizhao had been framed and killed. Thus, if they truly wanted to blame others, how could they not?
Perhaps when the time came, their Royal Father would say that although no one had directly caused the death of their eldest son, the death of that son had actually been indirectly caused by someone!
Therefore, they did not know whether he would be pushed out to be the scapegoat or not, so that their Royal Father could vent their anger! At that time, the death of the cripple would be a disaster for him.
Another new morning came.
In the palace, Chu Yixuan and the Fourth Prince Chu Yi Ye stood silently outside the Imperial Study.
Fourth Prince Chu Yi Ye was only eighteen years old. What had happened in the past six months was probably the biggest and most complicated thing that he had experienced in his life!
First, the crown prince had fought with the Prince Qi and the crown prince had been crippled; now that the crown prince had been assassinated, the Prince Qi had to take responsibility and go to jail. Then, the whole situation reversed and the messenger king had to be sent to jail.
In the past eighteen years, although his mother had been treated unfairly in the palace, she had not been in any life-threatening danger, so she had lived a bland life. When had he ever seen such a dramatic event happen before his eyes one after another?
Right now, the second imperial brother was still in prison. The first imperial brother had died, and he and the third imperial brother were the only ones left. What would their fates be?
The Imperial Family's struggle was so cruel. Until the end, who knew what would happen? Chu Yi Ye didn't dare to imagine!
Chu Yixuan looked at the shivering Chu Yi Ye and sighed. He lightly patted her shoulders and whispered: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Chu Yiye raised her head in shock and looked into his dark eyes. There was a trace of pity in them, which made Chu Yiye feel flattered. He felt the warmth of spring in his heart. This Third Imperial Brother had always been in bad health and rarely saw him a few times a year. Normally, they didn't have much interaction with each other, but at this moment, the Third Imperial Brother actually comforted him. He nodded vigorously. "Uh-huh!
Inside the Imperial Study, it was currently deathly still and quiet without any signs of life.
This terrifying calmness caused Chu Yi Ye to involuntarily lean towards Chu Yixuan. Chu Yixuan lightly patted the back of his hand, indicating that he should relax.
After a short while, the steward who was standing beside the emperor, Chu Zhe, quietly walked out and said to the two of them: "Your majesty, you are too sad, and have already fallen asleep. It is still chilly outside, the two princes should return first.
Chu Yi Ye hurriedly nodded, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and immediately turned around to leave. Chu Yixuan bowed to the steward and said softly: "I will have to trouble you to take care of Royal Father. Thank you."
The steward said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. Taking care of His Majesty is this old servant's duty. This old servant will definitely do his best."
Chu Yixuan nodded and turned.
Chu Yi Ye was waiting for Chu Yixuan outside the palace. Seeing that Chu Yixuan had come out, she hurriedly took two steps forward and greeted him with tears in her eyes: "Shiro is young and inexperienced, if he has offended Third Bro in any way, please take responsibility, Third Bro, please forgive me!"
Did this child mean that he was worried that he would harm him in the future? Chu Yixuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but a faint smile appeared on his face. "We are brothers, it is only right for us to take care of each other, don't say such things."
Chu Yi Ye did not stop bowing and bowing before taking his leave. Chu Yixuan looked at Chu Yi Ye's back as he quickly left.
Was he respected like this by his younger brother like a tiger? If that was the case, wouldn't outsiders be even more afraid of him?
Turning his head to look at the high palace walls, Chu Yixuan quietly boarded the carriage at the side. Lu Ming asked softly: "Are we directly returning to the Duke Palaces?"
"Let's head back first." Chu Yixuan said calmly.
Thus, Lu Ming picked up the carriage and rushed in the direction of Prince Qi Palace.
After walking for a while, Chu Yixuan said: "To the Rice Fragrance Inn."
Could it be that the Prince is going to see the Prince E again? Lu Ming was startled, but still turned his horse and headed towards the Scented Rice Wine House.
At the Rice Fragrance Inn, not a single figure of Feng Qingmo could be seen. But Chu Yixuan still walked to the table that Feng Qingmo had sat at the other day and slowly sat down.
His face was so pale, so tired, so weak.
Lu Ming looked at Chu Yixuan, feeling pain in his heart and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not. Standing silently behind Chu Yixuan, the two of them waited.
Feng Qingmo finally appeared, and his footsteps that took him upstairs sounded somewhat tired and heavy as well.
He slowly sat opposite to Chu Yixuan. Feng Qingmo looked at his half-brother and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. "Did you see me in the palace just now?"
Chu Yixuan said: "Unexpectedly, you also went."
Feng Qingmo pushed the teacup that had already been poured by him to Chu Yixuan, and then poured himself another, "Brother Huang, you just died, so you ran over to this wine shop. Be careful that he finds out and is not happy with you."
Chu Yixuan smiled faintly: "He never had a good impression of me, so he's not afraid to add this on."
"Why do you say that?" Feng Qingmo frowned, "He was the one who passed down such an important organization like Seven Treasures Division to you."
"Seven Treasures Division?" Chu Yixuan scoffed softly and said, "He only revealed this kind of situation for the sake of training Big Brother Huang, so he wanted Big Brother Huang to feel more threatened. He thought that he wanted to use me to balance the situation. But in actuality, the authority to arrange Seven Treasures Division is in Geng Yichun's hands. "
When he mentioned Geng Yichun, the teacup that Feng Qingmo brought to his lips couldn't help but pause. Thinking back to that Geng Yichun guy, he must be extremely shrewd, why was he so vigilant now that he thought of Geng Yichun?
"Has she left?" Chu Yixuan asked.
"Who?" As he was still thinking about Geng Yichun, Feng Qingmo did not react.
"Little Yu." Chu Yixuan said.
How new! He also followed him and called Qi Yu Little Yu Little Yu. Feng Qingmo replied: "Not yet, still in Ji City."
Chu Yixuan was startled, why was he still in Ji City? Didn't they already leave the Xu Mansion last night under the protection of his subordinates? Xu Chang's bodyguards had even pierced one of his subordinates. He thought that Feng Qingmo would take the opportunity to send Qi Yu out of the Ji City …
"We heard about the Eastern Palace last night when we left." Feng Qingmo sighed, "Besides, if I let her go, she wouldn't listen to me."
Chu Yixuan's hand that was holding the teacup became slightly stiff, his long fingers started to spin, "You can think of a way."
Feng Qingmo said: "This should be your problem, it should be done by you."
Chu Yixuan was silent for a long time, then, where is she?
Feng Qingmo looked at Chu Yixuan, and after a long while, he stood up: "Follow me!"
He believed that Chu Yixuan would need to meet Qi Yu at this time, and Qi Yu would definitely want to meet Chu Yixuan as well!
