The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter Ninety

After the meal was over, Chu Xiuming took Chu Xiuyuan and left, while Shen Jin held Dongdong who was yawning after he was full and said, "Mother, when Dongdong sleeps, I will go to you again."

Concubine Chen said with a smile, "The child is important. When I go back and put the child to sleep, it will be fine to see you."

Shen Jin smiled and nodded and said, "When the weather gets warmer, you can let the three children play together."

Consort Chen nodded and left with Shen Hao.

Chu Xiuming took Chu Xiuyuan and did not go elsewhere, but to the study room. At this time, the study room was the two brothers. Chu Xiuyuan asked directly, "Brother, what do you think?"

"En?" After Chu Xiuming sat down, he began to deal with the affairs of the border town.

Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming and said with a serious face, "Brother, that's the third brother's child."

"I see." Chu Xiuming paused, then looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "I will find it back."

Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and said, "Brother, what are your plans?"

Chu Xiuming said, "If you let him lead us, then we will never want to find that child."

"So brother, do you want to find a condition that the prince of England has to exchange with you?" Chu Xiuyuan also understood why, when discussing yesterday, Chu Xiuming didn't answer his question, but instead said that he would send a spy to that mountain range. Chu Xiuming didn't abandon the child, but just changed the method.

Chu Xiuming nodded, and Chu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly asked, "Then the King of England won't jump the wall in a hurry, right?"

"Heh." Chu Xiuming sneered, "Let him not even have a chance to jump over the wall."

Chu Xiuyuan was completely relieved and didn't bother Chu Xiuming. Instead, he sat next to help Chu Xiuming classify all the affairs. After Chu Xiuming finished his comments, he took it for himself. He didn't look at the comments directly, but Think about what you would do first, and then look at the comments. If it’s different from what he thought, take a closer look at the comments and think about it. If you don’t understand, just put it aside and ask when Chu Xiuming is resting. , If the meaning is the same, Chu Xiuyuan will happily put it on the other side.

After dealing with the new affairs, Chu Xiuyuan took out the ones from when Chu Xiuming hadn't come back. Chu Xiuming looked at it next to him. Chu Xiuyuan also talked about his thoughts on handling things from time to time.

When the two brothers Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan were close in the study, the atmosphere between the other pair of brothers in the palace was not so harmonious.

Although King Rui took the initiative to take Concubine Rui back to the capital, Emperor Cheng did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he asked King Rui to call his sons back. On the surface, King Rui agreed, but did not do it at all. Instead, he sat down. He lowered his head on the chair and listened to Emperor Cheng always saying that it was not easy for him, and there was danger outside.

"Yes." King Rui responded respectfully, without interrupting Emperor Cheng.

At this time, Princess Rui arrived in the Queen Mother’s Palace. When she saw Princess Rui, the Queen Mother slowly sighed. At this time, the Queen Mother was much older than when they first left Beijing, and even the Madam Zhen beside her was not seen. Instead, there are many new faces.

Although Princess Rui didn’t know where Mother Zhen had gone, she didn’t have a good time to ask. She just greeted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother looked at Princess Rui and asked someone to bring tea and cakes and say, "It’s fine when you come back. It's against the people and the prince of England. What a mess."

"Yes." Princess Rui said with a smile after hearing the words, "How well is the queen lately?"

"Anyone who can eat and sleep is worried about my son's condition outside." The queen mother looked down slightly, fumbled for the bracelet on her wrist and said, "How well did you go out?"

Princess Rui picked up some interesting anecdotes along the road and talked to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother nodded her head from time to time. She looked at her mentally better. Princess Rui said, "The prince brought a lot of things back for the queen mother and waited for her daughter-in-law tomorrow Just send it to the queen."

"En." The queen mother beckoned to Princess Rui and said, "Why do I watch you lose a lot?"

Princess Rui got up and walked to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother held Princess Rui's hand and looked up and down, and said, "I really suffer."

"I think I was a little anxious when I came back," Princess Rui said softly, "It's the queen who looked at her that she lost a lot of weight."

The queen mother smiled and did not speak. How could she not be thin? Ever since Emperor Cheng came to her palace and made a big quarrel that day, she got rid of many useful people around her, and even Madam Zhen was taken away. After she was punished for ten boards, she was sent to the palace. Chengdi said that these people confuse her, but...

Upon learning the news of King Rui's return, the Queen Mother felt uncomfortable and unspeakable in her heart. After all, King Rui has always been a child of love and justice, but it's a pity... it's all evil.

Princess Rui didn't say anything anymore. The queen mother reached out and took her bracelet off and put it on Princess Rui's hand, saying, "This bracelet has been with me for a long time, so I'll give it to you."

"Thanks mother empress." Princess Rui was full of joy, and she shook a little to look at it. She noticed that the somewhat face-to-face court ladies had carefully looked at her bracelet, and then she withdrew her gaze.

I said a few words with the Queen Mother. Seeing that she was tired, she served the Queen Mother and went to rest. The Queen Mother did not say anything, but asked to carry a box of prepared pastries for Princess Rui. Bring it back to the palace, the contents are all liked by King Rui. After knowing that Princess Rui will enter the palace today, the Queen Mother ordered the kitchen to do it.

When Concubine Rui left the palace, King Rui hadn’t come out yet, she was simply waiting in the carriage, and it didn’t take long for King Rui also came over, but her expression was a bit ugly. When she saw his wife, she stretched out and shook her hand, and then let the carriage go. Rui Wang Mansion walked.

No one said anything along the way. Princess Rui also saw that King Rui was in a bad mood. When she arrived at Royal Palace, Princess Rui got out of the carriage with the food box. King Rui saw it and asked, "What?"

"It was specially made by the queen mother for the prince." Princess Rui explained softly.

King Rui sighed slowly, nodded, reached out and took it. If he was facing Emperor Cheng in the study, King Rui had some regrets, but after seeing the box of pastries, the slight regret disappeared. Now, the two of them went directly into the inner room, and now the Royal Palace of Rui was much quieter, and even the child was left with Shen Rong and Shen Jing who was ill and locked up.

After Shen Rong returned to the capital, she was also directly imprisoned by King Rui. It was her own daughter and the treatment was not bad, except that she could not leave her yard.

Everyone waited on King Rui and Princess Rui to wash and change their clothes. After all, Princess Rui was in charge of King Rui's residence. Even if she was not in the residence for a while, the situation in the residence was not messed up. After the two changed their clothes, Princess Rui sent them out. , And then personally opened the food box and laid out the pastries inside. The few pastries in it were all that King Rui liked. King Rui looked at it a lot, but didn't say anything.

Princess Rui took a closer look at the fit and made sure that there was nothing hidden inside, and then took the bracelet on her wrist that the queen mother gave. King Rui looked at Princess Rui's movements and asked, "But what happened?"

"The mother's queen...something is not so good." The words used by Princess Rui are still relatively euphemistic, but the face of King Rui has changed. "It's nothing else, but looking tired, Madam Zhen didn't wait on her side. Not only that, but also a few new faces, and the original maids in the mother's harem also disappeared."

King Rui's face changed and changed again after hearing this, "That's the queen mother!"

Princess Rui shook her head and looked at the bracelet in her hand carefully, and said, "Because there are so many new faces over there, no matter whether it is me or the queen, I have scruples about speaking. Is there news about the second prince?"

"No." Rui Wang said, "Your Majesty didn't tell me this. He asked me to call Xuan'er and the others back to Beijing."

Concubine Rui slowly sighed. They thought about this situation on the road. They just asked King Rui to come down and just drag it. After all, Emperor Cheng didn’t really make a decree, and they weren’t considered resisting the decree. Just say that the cold weather is not suitable for the road.

Rui Wang's eyes were red, "Mother...How could he treat her mother like this?"

It goes without saying who he is. Princess Rui didn’t say anything. After carefully inspecting the bracelet and not finding anything special, she turned her gaze on the cakes. She felt that the Queen Mother had something to think about today. I had to tell them, but because there were people around Chengdi, I couldn't say it directly. This was another way.

King Rui is still sad because of the Queen Mother. Princess Rui has already started to break up pieces of pastry and crushed them. Sure enough, a small paper ball was found in a piece of pastry. Open the outermost oily paper. Inside is a very thin piece of cake. The yarn has three words written on it.

"Lord, look." After Princess Rui wrote down those three words, she called King Rui.

King Rui was thinking back about what happened when she was a child. At that time, when the queen mother had any good things, she would think of the two brothers... When she heard Princess Rui’s voice, she looked over, and took a moment to take the thing that Princess Rui handed over. , Looked at the words above and said, "Gave it from the queen?"

"Yes." Princess Rui said, "I thought that the queen would hide things in the bracelets, and these cakes were the guise. After all, it was safer to wear the bracelets directly on my hand, but I didn't expect the queen to hide things. It's in the pastry."

King Rui nodded and said, "What does this mean?"

"Could it be a location?" Princess Rui thought for a while and said.

Rui Wang felt it was possible, "Send someone to find it."

Concubine Rui stopped King Rui and said, "Master, I am afraid that as long as we leave the house, our every move will be monitored."

"That..." King Rui hesitated.

Princess Rui just smiled and said, "Why don't the prince order some authentic Beijing dishes for appetizers?"

King Rui understood what Concubine Rui meant and nodded and said, "Alright! Call someone to..."

Thanks to Chu Xiuming for keeping the manpower outside for them, otherwise, even if there are things the queen mother gave, they would have no way to investigate, but Rui Wang thought that Chengdi might be embarrassed by the queen mother, but did not expect that even if they came back, Chengdi Will treat the Queen Mother in the same way.

Princess Rui also felt stunned in her heart. Even if the queen dowager has many bad things, she would be really good to these two sons, but now...this is also a causal cycle.
