Chapter 682 Interest Exchange
"If Nuomin hadn't come to see me quietly at that time, I wouldn't have gotten the silver needle, and with my physical strength at that time, it would be impossible for me to successfully break out of the palace. Not to mention that Concubine Shu brought the eunuchs of the palace to "sincere" me. Apart from Nuomin, who was in full swing, who would dare to protect me in front of Concubine Shu?"
Chu Junlan's voice was filled with some nasal sound, and tears hang on her long eyelashes.
Xiao Xu was already frightened when he heard it.
"You haven't told me before that it was so dangerous in the palace. Concubine Shu had wanted to kill you?"
Chu Junlan pursed her lips and shook her head, not wanting to mention what happened before.
But Xiao Xu had already guessed what happened at that time in his heart.
He was outside, in order to overturn the case for Chu Junlan, and he used extreme methods in anger, but never thought that Concubine Shu had hundreds of ways to torture Chu Junlan in the palace to vent his anger.
"It's mine, it's me that I'm not thinking well. I thought I was saving you, but I didn't want to get you into a more difficult situation."
It was precisely because Chu Junlan was afraid that Xiao Xu would think too much that he refused to tell Xiao Xu about what happened at that time in detail.
But now that the matter involves Nuomin, Chu Junlan has to explain in detail how Nuomin helped her in the palace.
Xiao Xu frowned, and after listening for a long time, he sighed lightly, squatted in front of her and held her hand: "Why didn't you tell me these things earlier?"
Chu Junlan smiled wryly and said, "It's all over the past, what's the point? I just couldn't imagine that I was tired of Nuomin before I could repay her."
Xiao Xu took her hand carefully and kissed her cherishedly and piously on the back of her hand: "Don't be sad, I support you no matter what you want. We will repay you if you deserve revenge, and we will not let anyone who deserve revenge be, and we will not let those people be proud for too long."
Chu Junlan sniffed: "I want to see Nuomin."
Xiao Xu thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult. After the reception banquet, as a relative of the royal family, you can naturally go to pay tribute to the empresses of each palace, or walk more with the clan relatives and nobles."
"What you said is that I can go home and take a look at it. And my elder brother, I don't know what his situation is now. I'm afraid that the news of my death will suddenly come to my heart." Thinking of what happened to her and Xiao Xu, Chu Huating and Xu would be in the mood. Zi Yuan and Zi Yan didn't know what was going on now, Chu Junlan felt a soreness in his heart again.
But for a moment, an eunuch outside replied: "The eldest prince, the palace maid whom the eldest prince's concubine had already brought it here."
Chu Junlan nodded in the arms of the child, and Xiao Xu said, "Call them in."
A sound of footsteps came, and the palace people who came in the door bowed together and bowed: "See the eldest prince and the eldest prince's concubine."
Xiao Xu sat back to his original position and smiled and signaled Chu Junlan to deal with it.
Chu Junlan did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Get up."
The palace maids who came in, especially those who had dressed like Haitang, who had been wearing Chu Junlan in close proximity, were surprised to hear the familiar voice. Haitang plucked up her courage and looked up carefully. When she met Chu Junlan's sight, she subconsciously lowered her head to avoid it, but she reacted in an instant.
Princess? Isn’t this Princess Prince Gong?
But Eunuch Li ordered someone to call them, clearly saying that he would serve the eldest prince and the eldest prince's concubine who had just been recovered.
Chu Junlan smiled at Haitang and others comfortably and said, "No gifts, I have to work harder in Zhongcui Palace in recent days. You need to be more careful in life in the palace, so let's take care of each other."
Haitang looked at Chu Junlan, then at the cradle in her arms, and her eyes finally fell on the handsome, innocent and cold-tempered young man.
For a moment, Haitang was so moved that she wanted to cry.
She had no courage to say something as a slave, but her excitement and joy were hard to hide.
"Yes, I can leave the washing clothes bureau, thanks to the world... The eldest prince's concubine will be kind to me, and I will serve you well."
Chu Junlan couldn't help but smile and felt much better.
But after a moment, Li Defang brought four more women.
"When I go back to the eldest prince's concubine, these four are all wet ladies prepared for the Sixth Prince's Grandson. I have carefully checked it and they are all the healthiest and cleanest."
Chu Junlan originally planned to feed the child himself, but was worried about any accidents and was prepared for any trouble, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Li, you are intent."
"If that's the case, I'm just following the orders, and the emperor cares about the little prince. The dinner will be held in the Yangxin Hall later. The eldest prince, the prince's concubine can prepare first."
Chu Junlan nodded and responded, and Li Defan stepped back first.
At the same time, when Concubine Shu heard the news, she came first to meet Emperor Jinghong.
Emperor Jinghong knew what she wanted to say when he didn't see Concubine Shu. He deliberately let her drink tea before instructing Zhao Lu to bring Concubine Shu in.
This is a big deal, so how can the skill of a cup of tea be calm enough for Concubine Shu?
Zhao Lu had just come out and bowed, but before he finished speaking, Concubine Shu had already pushed Zhao Lu away and rushed in.
"Your Majesty, it's about the emperor's heir. How could you be so hasty? Xiao Xu is the prince of the Prince of Gongding's Mansion and often walks around the capital. There are countless people who recognize him. Wouldn't you be blinded by this? Do you say that he is the eldest prince and the people below believe it?"
Emperor Jing Hong lowered his head and read a leisure book, and casually said: "My beloved concubine, now she is more concerned about the court affairs."
If it were usual, Concubine Shu was most afraid of being the charge of interfering in politics in the harem, and Emperor Jing Hong's threat was enough to make her stop.
But not only did Xiao Xu not die, he also became the eldest son of Emperor Jing Hong. Originally, the sixth prince was the person who had the most hope of inheriting the throne. In the blink of an eye, there was no advantage left at all. How could Concubine Shu calm down?
"Your Majesty, it is about your bloodline, which is the matter of the inner palace. How can I turn a blind eye to such things in my heart by orders? I don't care about it, but the ministers in the court are not blind fools, so how can they ignore it?"
Emperor Jing Hong put down his idle books, lit the table with his fingertips, and whispered: "I have thought that I should set up a foundation for the country as soon as possible. In this way, the courtiers will feel more at ease. Seeing that Lao Liu's behavior has become more steady, I have the intention to make him the crown prince."
Concubine Shu was stunned immediately.
Emperor Jing Hong had never said such words to her. Now he suddenly mentioned it, like a big stuffed cake falling from the sky and hitting her face, making Concubine Shu feel so happy that she couldn't come back to her senses.
Emperor Jing Hong glanced at Concubine Shu's expression and said, "If Lao Liu becomes the crown prince, you must have the identity of a prince's mother. This is already in my plan."
Another big stuffed cake, Concubine Shu was so happy that she almost fainted on the spot.
She did not agree with Emperor Jing Hong's recognition of Xiao Xu as the eldest son of the emperor, because she was afraid that she would make the eldest son the crown prince in the future, but if Emperor Jing Hong agreed to make the sixth prince the crown prince, this concern would be completely gone.
