The anger on Chu Shoufu's face slowly faded, and he sat on the Taishi chair with a gloomy expression. "This is the last chance, if you don't tell me, just don't do it, Princess Qi. There are many obedient girls in the Chu family.
"
"Grandpa, please listen to your granddaughter. She never meant to..." She cried. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and fell down her face. She was so pitiful that she couldn't describe it. Anyone who sees such sadness can't help but feel soft.
It's a pity that Chu Shoufu obviously doesn't know how to do it. He never believes in tears.
"Put away your tears and get out!" He said coldly.
Chu Mingcui finally showed a look of fear of regret on her face. She said anxiously: "Grandpa, I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken advantage of Aunt Xi's friendship with you. It was indeed my granddaughter who asked her to poison the Emperor's medicine.
Yes, my granddaughter is just afraid that the Supreme Emperor will get better and that the King of Chu will gain power again, and my granddaughter is also thinking about the overall situation."
"How did you know about the relationship between Aunt Xi and me?" Chu Shoufu's voice was gloomy and cold. His whole person was immersed in Xiao Sha's gloom.
Chu Mingcui had never seen such a terrifying look on her grandfather's face. She was so frightened that her lips trembled and she said everything, "It was my grandmother who said it. My grandmother also ordered this matter. She said that Grandma Xi failed you. Just say
It's your wish. Even if Aunt Xi loses her life, she is still willing to do it for you. My granddaughter didn't believe it at first, but as soon as I told Aunt Xi like this, she agreed."
After saying that, she hurriedly said: "Grandpa, Auntie Xi will never tell anyone about the murder of the Supreme Emperor, let alone accuse you. Don't worry."
Chu Shoufu closed his eyes, his whole face looked expressionless, as if he were a wooden man.
Chu Mingcui was uneasy and wringing her handkerchief, not knowing what to do.
After a long time, Chu Shoufu opened his eyes, and his eyes were peaceful, "What do you think about the King of Chu marrying your sister as his concubine?"
Chu Mingcui said anxiously: "Grandpa, this is absolutely impossible."
"Why not?" Chu Shoufu asked coldly.
Chu Mingcui hesitated, "My sister is my legitimate daughter, how can I be my concubine?"
"Let's wait and see. You can ask Yuan Qing to come down to the court to ask for help. Your sister will be the princess by then."
Chu Mingcui was shocked, "Jing Hou actually said that?"
"However, Princess Chu objected. The emperor said that he respected Princess Chu's wishes, so the matter between your sister and King Chu was settled."
Chu Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief, "It's forced. At this juncture, it's better to do less than to do more."
Chu Shoufu said calmly: "Yes, so I have decided that your sister will serve King Qi together with you."
"What?" Chu Mingcui fell to the ground, her face ashen.
She quickly knelt down and said firmly: "No, grandfather, Yuan Qingling will agree. She will not tolerate her disagreement. My granddaughter promises that the King of Chu will definitely marry my sister as his concubine."
Chu Shoufu said expressionlessly: "This is your last chance. No matter what method you use, it must be clean and tidy. Naturally, I hope that everyone will be happy. If you don't handle it well or cause trouble, you, the Princess of Qi, will
Just give up your position."
In other words, he hoped that Yuan Qingling would quit voluntarily, and if he really took action, he would have to leave no trace.
Chu Mingcui said calmly: "Grandpa, don't worry, my granddaughter will definitely take care of it."
Chu Shoufu raised his hand, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face, "Go."
As soon as Chu Mingcui left, Chu Shoufu called someone in and said calmly: "I don't want to hear anyone talk about Xiao Xi anymore. Madam, please send me a bowl of medicine."
It was a tall old man with a pale face. Hearing these words, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Where is the princess?"
"She is a smart person. She will keep her mouth shut when she sees her grandmother's fate." Chu Shoufu closed his eyes to remove the murderous aura from his eyes.
Chu Mingcui left the study, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she went to her sister Chu Mingyang's house.
Chu Mingyang had haircut at the beginning of the year, and his appearance was very similar to Chu Mingcui's, but Chu Mingyang was more arrogant and arrogant, not as calm and tolerant as Chu Mingcui.
When Chu Mingyang was born, his grandfather just recovered from an illness and was promoted. Therefore, Chu Mingyang was favored since childhood, and the degree of favor was no less than that of his brother who was a direct descendant of the family.
Chu Mingcui even suspected that her grandfather had never thought of asking her sister to be the concubine of the King of Chu. If her sister married into the Prince of Chu's palace, she would get the position of the concubine sooner or later.
Therefore, she must not let Chu Mingyang marry King Qi as a concubine. This would directly threaten her position as the main concubine. Her grandfather used her because of her calm temperament. Now that she has caused trouble, there is no guarantee that her grandfather will not abandon her.
Thinking of this, she became more and more worried, but when she saw Chu Mingyang, she still smiled warmly as an eldest sister.
"Sister," Chu Mingyang was very happy to see her back. He held her arm and walked in. His pretty face was flushed. He expected that he had not been idle in the room just now, "I will show you my new gadget."
Chu Mingcui smelled a hint of blood. She had always known about her love for her sister, but she was afraid that she didn't know who to mess with this time.
Sure enough, after being pulled in, he saw a little girl kneeling on the ground. The girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a bowl on her head, and the bowl was full of water.
When the girl saw someone coming, she moved a little. Unexpectedly, a few drops of water were spilled. Chu Mingyang picked up the whip on the table and whipped it over, shouting: "Kneel down!"
The girl was in pain and slowly knelt up straight, her face turned red from holding back, tears were in her eyes and she didn't dare to fall.
There were already several broken bowls on the ground, and they were all wet. It seemed that he had suffered a lot just now, and there were a few whip marks on his face.
"Is it fun?" Chu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingcui flatteringly and showed off proudly.
Chu Mingcui said dotingly: "Whatever you think is fun."
Chu Mingyang sat down and threw away his whip, "Actually, it's not fun at all, but I'm really bored and my grandfather doesn't allow me to go out."
She glared at the girl and said, "Get out!"
As if she had been granted amnesty, the girl quickly took the bowl and went out.
The other maids quickly cleaned up the place, served tea and snacks, and then closed the door to let the two sisters talk.
Chu Mingcui thought about it for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Second sister, your grandfather is planning to marry you, do you know?"
"I know!" Chu Mingyang's pretty face turned cold, "But I don't want to get married so early."
"No one can disobey my grandfather's words." Chu Mingcui sighed softly, "Why is my sister willing to marry early? She just wants to spend more time with my grandmother. She is the jewel in the family, but she can marry into someone else's family..."
"What should I say? Is my brother-in-law not good to my sister? I think my brother-in-law is very kind to my sister. Every time my sister comes back, he will always be with you." Chu Mingyang asked with his ears pricked up.
Chu Mingcui smiled bitterly, "It's all superficial beauty, but how can you really feel at home as a royal wife? There are many rules in the palace, and officials are watching over them. If there is any inappropriate behavior, they will be reported to the palace immediately. The Queen Mother will immediately reprimand her.
arrival."
Chu Mingyang was startled, "Is it so severe?"
"Isn't that right? You can't tell your grandfather after you've suffered. Grandpa can't interfere in the royal family affairs."
