Chapter 490 A Way to Survive

Thinking of those past events, Rong Zhao felt angry and hateful. I am angry with the emperor for not caring about the relationship between father and daughter, angry with the consort for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife, and angry with the second child for not caring about the relationship between brother and sister. I hate the second child and Queen Wang for using me to attack the Chu family, I hate them for snaring me against Lao Jiu, and I even hate the emperor and the Chu family for using me as a pawn to confuse the second child and Queen Wang...

Her hands were clenched together, and her sharp nails were digging into her painfully. She just came back to her senses and found that not only Chen Afu was missing, but also the Prince Consort was missing.

She asked, "Where's the consort? Where are those two bitches?"

A nun bowed and said, "The prince-in-law has left with Grandma Chu and the eldest sister of the Chu family."

Rong Zhao said angrily, "I haven't asked those two bitches to leave yet. Stop them back."

The nun then persuaded in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness, Concubine Shu, I ask you to be patient for a while. When Concubine Shu and you regain the divine grace, it will not be too late to deal with those who disrespect you."

Rong Zhao murmured, "Can I regain the divine grace?" She couldn't remember how long it had been since the emperor had spoken to her kindly.

The nun then said, "You are the emperor's most beloved eldest daughter. You have been held in the hands of the emperor since childhood. How could the emperor not love you? When the emperor calms down, you can coax him well and he will understand. I cherish you even more..."

Yes, when I was a child, I was often teased by my father on his lap, and my father's heart was easy to win over.

But, where is Chu Lang's heart? Even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew that she had never truly won Chu Lang's heart.

From the first moment she saw him, she was like a man possessed. She refused to listen to the dissuasion of her father and mother, and tried every means to get him. People get it, but they never get their heart.

If Prince Consort Xue died and the second son and Queen Wang didn't come up with the idea to help him, wouldn't he be in this situation? In that way, would he and his mother and concubine not lose the favor of their father?

No, if she doesn't get Chu Lang, she won't be able to live in peace for the rest of her life. It's just that you shouldn't listen to the bad idea of ​​the second child and Queen Wang, and you shouldn't scheme against Chu Lang like that. Instead, he should figure it out slowly and slowly win over Chu Lang's heart. In that way, not only can he get Chu Lang's love, but also Chu Lang's heart... Well, if that's the case, I'm afraid I won't get Chu Lang in my life. Then we have no choice but to rob, but we shouldn’t form an alliance with the second child...

Rong Zhao lay on the bed with a splitting headache from thinking about it and felt cold sweat dripping down his face. Called softly, "Chu Lang, Chu Lang..."

A palace maid quickly bent her knees and said, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go to find the Prince Consort right now."

The Marquis of Chu sent Chen Afu and Miss Chu directly back to the Chu family. Chen Afu and his daughter went to the inner courtyard, while the Marquis of Chu went to his own courtyard, Jinyuan.

Mrs. Chu San was holding Xiao Yu'er in her arms and was teasing the two brothers. When she saw Chen Afu and the little girl coming back, she wondered, "Why are you back so soon? Then Rong Zhao didn't let you carry the soup or anything?" Looking at Miss Chu's colorful face again, she was surprised and said, "What's wrong with Yan'er?"

Chen Afu stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao Yu'er, but Madam Chu San turned around and refused. Chen Afu put down his hand and told the story. He said angrily, "...That Rong Zhao is really disgusting. Yan'er is still so young, and she can actually curse like that. It's really infuriating!"

Mrs. Chu San looked at the background of the little girl who was being led away by servants, and snorted coldly, "Rong Zhao must have been confused due to illness, and mistook Yan'er for the eldest sister-in-law and scolded her. She hated the eldest sister-in-law very much, because Yan'er looked like Sister-in-law, she almost tortured Yan'er to death by indulging her subordinates." He then said, "Rong Zhao has been domineering and overbearing since she was a child. She has the ability to snatch away anything she likes, even if it's her sister's. This time he robbed a big living person and tore his whole family into pieces. He deserves to be frightened and sick. "

At noon, the old Marquis and the Marquis of Chu came to Anrong Hall for midday dinner. After dinner, Mr. Chu Hou took the two brothers to Jinyuan to play, and said they would take a lunch break there.

In the next few days, Lord Chu stayed in Jinyuan. The two young brothers were taken to Jinyuan as soon as they got up in the morning. During dinner, they were taken to Anrong Hall by Lord Chu and returned to Chen Afu.

I heard that the nun from Princess Rongzhao’s mansion came to the mansion several times to invite her, but Mr. Chu Hou never came back. Still four days later, that is, at noon in early March, Concubine Ma Shu sent her servant to the mansion to tell her that Rong Zhao was ill and could not get up from bed. The prince-in-law actually ignored him and refused to invite him back. In the eyes of Lord Chu, he still Is there a royal family?

After hearing this, the Marquis of Chu did not make any excuses, but went to the palace to apologize to the emperor.

Outraged by the second prince, the emperor's health became even worse. Now he coughs up blood every day, and the prince attends most morning court meetings in his stead. However, the news that he was seriously ill was still kept secret. The external story was that the emperor was angry that the second prince was unfilial, which led to excessive worries, depression, and poor spirits.

The emperor also felt guilty for not fulfilling his original promise and did not blame the Marquis of Chu too much. He just shook his head and sighed, "The reason why Rong Zhao made that nasty move was because he was deceived by Lao Er. My time is running out, and I don't want to know that Lao Er will not die well in my lifetime, and I have to see Rong Zhao suffer with my own eyes. She is My eldest daughter has been doted on since childhood. If Chu Aiqing blames her, she might as well blame me for not educating her well..."

The Marquis of Chu was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, "I don't dare!"

The emperor said helplessly, "When there are too many children, there will always be two bad ones. But no matter how bad she is, she is still my princess and a golden branch. She has no brothers, and the prince does not want to see her. In the days to come. "The only thing she can rely on is my kindness. Even if Chu Aiqing doesn't like her, she has been your woman for so many years, so just give her a way to survive."

Lord Chu kowtowed loudly and choked up, saying, "Your Majesty, I am so embarrassed as a minister. Your Majesty, I am so embarrassed as a minister."

Sitting in the car on the way back to the princess's mansion, Lord Chu clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves. He knew that the dark forces in his hands should be gradually handed over...

Not long after Lord Chu left, Xiao Shiyi entered the Yangxin Palace, holding a colorful and gold-painted fine porcelain soup bowl in his hand.

The emperor was happy to see this lovable little son and waved him to come closer.

Xiao Shiyi put the soup bowl on the imperial table and bowed, saying, "Father, I asked someone to stew a pot of nourishing soup. Please try it." Seeing that the emperor took a sip and nodded with satisfaction, he said, "This is made by someone according to the recipe written by Madam Chu. Madam Chu is the best at food, and the food she makes is both delicious and nourishing."

The emperor took a few sips, put down the spoon, and pulled Xiao Shiyi to lean on his legs. He had more than a dozen sons and daughters, but his favorite was Xiao Shiyi, who he had spent the least time with. He felt that Xiao Shiyi was kind and gentle, and was most like himself. Fortunately, Xiao Shiyi was Lao Jiu's younger brother, so even though he was young, he still had an older brother who loved him.
