Chu Jingmao read the contents of the letter carefully again, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Her Highness ordered me to put the royal business under her control, including the shop, cloth shop, dyeing shop, and embroidery shop."
The old housekeeper frowned and said, "Master, this is the entire wealth of the Chu family!"
Chu Jingmao looked at the letter in his hand. After a while, the paper felt like a hot potato.
He put the letter on the table with a slight trembling, and said: "It doesn't matter. You see, when she came back here last time, she was not hostile to me. Jiao Li has a good temper. After Ping'er fell ill, she sent someone from the Prince's Mansion
If someone comes to take care of her, she must no longer care about the hatred of the past. After all, I am still her biological father, and blood is thicker than water. As long as I treat her well from now on, and she does not marry into the prince's palace in the future, our Chu family will prosper."
The old housekeeper thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
In the morning light, the birds chirped melodiously.
Beigong Tengxiao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the girl's sleeping back, raised his hand and gently stroked her smooth black hair, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
Chu Jiaoli clutched the sheets tightly, frowned, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, Beigong Tengxiao, who was dressed in royal robes, was pierced through the heart by a long sword. She couldn't help but feel heartbroken. She bit her lips tightly, her face full of guilt and sadness.
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips, and was about to stand up and kiss her cheek, but suddenly he heard her murmuring in a low voice: "Your Majesty... you can't die, Li'er is really wrong, Li'er doesn't want to be a
The princess is..."
Beigong Tengxiao's eyes darkened instantly. He clenched his fists tightly and stood up angrily.
After a moment, Beigong Tengxiao picked up the clothes beside the bed and saw a small porcelain vase rolling out from Chu Jiaoli's sleeve next to her.
He frowned slightly and opened the bottle, revealing tiny red pills inside.
He took one out of it, capped the bottle, and put it back in her sleeve pocket.
After a while, Chu Jiaoli frowned and opened her eyes as he put on his coat.
I cried so much in my dream just now that my eyes were filled with tears. When I woke up, I felt a bit of pain in my throat.
She looked at Beigong Tengxiao's tall and slender back and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is still alive, alive in front of her eyes...
Today's destiny is different from that of the previous life, and he will definitely be able to escape that tragic fate.
Beigong Tengxiao heard the movement behind him, glanced lightly, and said: "When you wake up, clean up and leave the house."
Hearing that cold voice, Chu Jiaoli was slightly startled and a little confused.
She pursed her lips and said softly: "Okay."
Beigong Tengxiao clenched his fists tightly. After thinking about it, he still felt out of breath. He turned around and walked to the bed, raised his hand to lift Chu Jiaoli's chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "
Chu Jiaoli, do you blame me for everything I did to you?"
Hearing him calling her alive, Chu Jiaoli suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. There was confusion in her eyes and she said: "I never blamed him."
Beigong Tengxiao let out a long sigh and said, "Then do you have me in your heart?"
Chu Jiaoli hesitated to speak, but finally pursed her lips and said: "Your Highness, you are going to achieve great things, so don't care too much about the love between your children."
"Huh." Beigong Tengxiao sneered, raised his hand and gently stroked her messy hair, with a puzzled sullenness hidden in his eyes, and said, "You just had a good dream..."
Chu Jiaoli was suddenly startled. Could it be that...did she say something in her sleep that he shouldn't have heard?
"I'm really sorry for causing you so many painful memories." Beigong Tengxiao's eyes dimmed and he said, "I didn't expect that until now... you still miss him in your heart..."
"Who?" Chu Jiaoli frowned in confusion. She was clearly dreaming about him, who was he talking about?
"Don't you know who you are thinking of and calling for in your dreams?" Beigong Tengxiao's hand slowly left her.
Chu Jiaoli paused for a moment, thought carefully about it, and suddenly realized it.
After Beigong Tengxiao ascended the throne as emperor, she changed her name to him as "emperor". He must have misunderstood!
But now she was having a hard time explaining herself, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Beigong Tengxiao showed a smile that did not reach his eyes and said: "There is no need to think about how to explain. You are no longer my maid, and you no longer need to cater to me like this." He said lightly.
He sighed, turned around, and said, "I have already taken care of you in Chu Mansion. You can take over when you return to Chu Mansion at any time. Jinglan and Zilin will follow you, but from now on, I and you will not be together."
Never meet again."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli felt a chill in her heart. Although this was the result she wanted, deep down in her heart, she couldn't accept the blow like the sky was falling.
Her lips trembled slightly and she lowered her head and said, "So... Jiao Li also wishes His Highness to find a good man and marry the Crown Princess as soon as possible."
Half an hour later.
After packing her luggage, Chu Jiaoli picked up her skirt and got on the carriage.
Chu Jiaoli quietly opened the curtain and looked at the plaque in front of the Prince's Mansion with a sad expression.
The Princess's Mansion is not far from the Prince's Mansion, but it is impossible for her to step into this mansion again...
She slowly lowered the curtain, took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill in the bottle, and took it with tears in her eyes.
It's good that if he has nothing to do with her anymore, he can calm down and marry Xiang Yini.
And she also has her own way to go.
Biluo Palace.
Beigong Tengxiao looked at Jing Ling walking in from the door, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you found out?"
Jing Ling nodded and said, "It was found out, it's a child-avoiding drug."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao looked slightly stunned, subconsciously frowning with concern, and said: "Will it be harmful to the body?"
Jing Ling shook his head and said, "I asked Jinglan to buy the medicine. Your Highness can rest assured."
Beigong Tengxiao gave Chu Jiaoli enough freedom. Jinglan did not report her private matters one by one. If the matter was not reported, it would naturally be enough to rest assured.
Slowly coming back to his senses and coming to Beigong, Tengxiao couldn't help but sneered and said: "The anti-pregnant medicine..." Thinking of the bottle that had reached the bottom, his eyes were dim and dull, "Chu Jiaoli, how many things do you still have to do?"
Hiding this from me..."
Jingyue came in from outside the door and said: "Your Highness, the princess has left."
Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly and said, "Why won't she come and say goodbye to me?"
Jing Yue coughed lightly and said: "Your Highness, it was you who drove her away... Just now, my subordinates heard outside the door that His Highness actually told the princess that we would never meet again... How will His Highness find her in the future?
?”
Beigong Tengxiao snorted coldly and said: "Who said I want to find her? If you say you won't see her, you won't see her!"
Jingyue raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her nose with a slight embarrassment, and whispered: "Then... Your Highness must keep your word. This gentleman's words are hard to catch. The princess's palace is only seven hundred steps away from our prince's palace."
, if you want to meet her in the future, don’t let her laugh at you..."
Beigong Tengxiao suddenly slapped the table, which startled Jingyue Jingling. He frowned irritably and said: "Get out!"
"yes."
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the princess's mansion. Chu Jiaoli got out of the carriage and looked up at the grand plaque - "Anhe Residence" held in gold water.
The mansion is located in the bustling part of the imperial capital. Although it is not as large as the Prince's Mansion, it is still much larger than the Chu Mansion.
