Chapter 278
When Chu Yunning looked at General Chu and the bright yellow imperial edict, she had mixed feelings in her heart. At that moment, all her grievances seemed to be comforted.
General Chu dismounted and came to Chu Yunning's side. He untied his cloak and put it on Chu Yunning's shoulders. He said softly: "Aning, don't be afraid. Father is here to support you."
"Hmm." The tip of Chu Yunning's nose felt sore, and she caught a glimpse of the imperial edict in General Chu's hand. She asked, "When did the emperor give the imperial edict to father?"
"The emperor sent people to deliver this imperial edict at high speed. My father did not dare to delay for a moment and sent it." General Chu was about to open the edict when Chu Yunning suddenly held down General Chu's hand and said in a very low voice:
"Father, there are some things that a daughter can endure."
Xiao Jingheng was still fighting outside, and she didn't want to disturb him because of these things, nor did she want him to be caught between the Queen Mother and Prince Xiao.
Now that she knows that Jamel Xiao is towards her, this is enough.
"The fighting is still going on at the front, so we can't keep arguing at the rear." Chu Yunning also figured it out. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation.
She believed that Jamel Xiao would definitely find justice for her after he came back.
Therefore, she cannot cause trouble to Jamel Xiao.
"Girl Ning?" General Chu looked worried.
But Chu Yunning held General Chu's hand tightly and smiled: "Continuing to dwell on some things will only get out of control and damage your heart. The emperor treats me very well, and I can't drag him down."
At this point, General Chu felt sorry for his daughter and had no choice but to give up. He raised his head and looked at the old prince: "It's a matter of several children's generation, why does the old prince have to mobilize so many troops?"
"I just came one step earlier than General Chu. We are all working hard for future generations, and our thoughts are the same." The old prince smiled. He knew that this storm was over, and moved out the Queen Mother: "Shichen
It's not too early, the Queen Mother has been thinking about Xi'er for a long time, and wants Xi'er to go back early, so I won't delay."
When General Chu heard this, he turned away with a cold face, not wanting to look at these people again. He should have tried his best to stop Chu Yunning from marrying Prince Xiao back then.
This bastard thing actually hurt this girl so much.
Chu Yunning watched helplessly as the group of people got on the carriage. Before leaving, Princess Mighty smiled provocatively at her.
Seeing this, she closed her eyes, clenched her fists tightly under her cloak, and waited for the sound of horse hooves in her ears to get farther and farther before opening her eyes.
General Chu handed the imperial edict in his hand to Chu Yunning. She reached out and took it, opened it and looked at it. There were seven big words, "Behead first and then report. I agree to it."
Sure enough, it was pretty much what he thought, and it was hard for him to still think about him. That was enough.
"Girl Ning has grown up, and she is so generous as a father." Even General Chu may not be able to do what Chu Yunning is, and he has already taken revenge on the spot.
Chu Yunning smiled slightly, revealing the soft and cute side of her youngest daughter: "It's all my father's teachings. Everything should be prioritized, and the overall situation should be put first."
The father and daughter chatted for a few more words. General Chu looked at the mess on the ground, looked around and took a deep breath. He thought of Chu'er, so he asked: "I heard on the way that Chu'er is still alive. Is this true?"
?”
"Yes!" Chu Yunning nodded and took General Chu to see Chu'er.
When the two met for the first time, General Chu sighed and patted Chu Er gently on the shoulder: "Good boy, you have suffered."
Chu Yunning introduced: "This is..."
"Grandfather!" Chu'er looked at General Chu with admiration: "I heard from the emperor that my grandfather was a great general. He guarded the border all year round and made the enemy troops frightened. He was also a great hero!"
Chu Yunning was stunned by these words. She didn't expect that Xiao Jingheng would actually talk to Chu'er about this. General Chu looked at Chu'er's thin body, felt sad, and said with a smile: "Chu'er, after returning to the capital, we will
Live with your grandfather, and he can teach you martial arts."
"Really?" Chu'er's eyes shone with longing, which made General Chu's heart melt. He said with a tone full of pity, "Grandpa will protect you in the future."
Chu Er smiled and turned to look at Chu Yunning worriedly: "Mother, your face looks so ugly. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"It's just windy and cold outside, it's okay." Chu Yunning's heart still hurt, but she just didn't want to show it in front of Chu'er.
The few of them chatted for a while, and then General Chu said, "Staying here is not an option. Let's go back to the capital."
Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment. On the one hand, he was worried that Xiao Jingheng and Beibei were at the border.
There were too many dangers. General Chu saw his concerns and said: "Chu'er's body cannot withstand the hard work. He will temporarily return to the capital to recuperate. It won't be too late to go back when he has recovered."
This is all that can be done now, so Chu Yunning nodded.
…
Beijing
The old prince and his party rushed back day and night, and without even having time to take a breath, they sent people straight to the direction of the palace.
"Grandfather, it's already so late, why do you still want to enter the palace?" Princess Mighty was puzzled.
Prince Xiao on the side was also confused.
"Chu Yunning is not easy to deal with. In order to prevent her from coming back to do anything, we must take a preemptive strike."
To be honest, the old prince was feeling uneasy all the way back. General Chu arrived too timely with the imperial edict. As for why Chu Yunning did not let him read it out, the old prince guessed that the other party must have scruples.
"The emperor's heart is for Chu Yunning. While there is still room for change, we must seize the time to make plans." The old prince said worriedly.
Prince Xiao covered his mouth and coughed twice: "Grandpa, don't worry, my mother and brother will not blame me. Besides, I have done nothing wrong."
"Do you really think Beibei is not your child?" The old prince frowned: "Beibei looks exactly like the prince when he was a child. Is there any misunderstanding?"
He thought that the child was clever, smart and very lovable. Moreover, the old prince had watched Xiao Jingheng grow up. He believed in Xiao Jingheng's character and would not have taken action against his sister-in-law at that time.
This question made Xiao Wangyu choke. There was indeed evidence to prove that Beibei was not his child. A blood test was conducted!
But now, King Xiao is not sure anymore.
"Chu Yunning was a famous idiot before she came out of the cabinet. She was always thinking about the prince. I think there must be some misunderstanding." The old prince really couldn't figure it out, how could that child not be Prince Xiao's?
Prince Xiao lowered his head and looked at his clenched white fingertips without saying a word. The old prince added: "When you see the Queen Mother later, please don't slander Beibei again. Everyone knows that the Queen Mother likes Beibei."
.”
For the Queen Mother, this child must be her grandson.
"Grandfather!" Princess Weiwei was confused as to why her grandfather wanted to help Chu Yunning speak.
The old prince said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have to think carefully about this matter. Once Xiao Jingheng really passes the throne to Beibei, your status will be embarrassing."
"Grandpa, do you want me to recognize Beibei?" Prince Xiao was hesitant in his heart.
The old prince nodded: "Not only must you recognize them, but you must recognize them with great fanfare. Both children are your children. Beibei can only inherit the throne as his heir. When the time comes, Beibei must take into account your identity as the biological father. The most important thing is
What's more, if the prince doesn't let go of Chu Yunning, Xiao Jingheng will never have the shame to ask for your first wife. This is what Xiao Jingheng will always owe you."
Hearing this, King Xiao understood instantly.
"Once Chu Yunning really takes the position in the middle palace, everything will go as planned, but it will be troublesome in the future. While the situation is not that serious yet, with the Queen Mother supporting you, there is still a turning point." The old prince is sure.
The Queen Mother could not let go of her mother-son relationship with Prince Xiao, so she dared to mention it like this.
