Chapter 24 (two more)

Wei Yun was stunned by these words. After Chu Yu said it in one breath, she finally realized that her current temperament really looked like she was fifteen years old.

The two were silent, Chu Yu adjusted her mood, and Wei Yun finally said after digesting what she said: "Sister-in-law's words, I wrote down. This time is not mine, if I do something next time, I'll make it clear to my sister-in-law first."

Chu Yu nodded, and finally calmed down, her eyes fell on Wei Yun's feet, and she frowned and said, "Your injury..."

"It's alright!" Wei Yun said quickly, "I was beaten by my brothers more than this in the military camp. It's a small injury! Sister-in-law, don't worry!"

Chu Yu sighed, she walked in front of Wei Yun, half squatted down, and said helplessly, "Put up your legs and show me."

"This……"

"Sister-in-law is like a mother," Chu Yu glared at him: "You are a child in my heart, don't think too much."

Wei Yun didn't say anything, but he was still a little awkward, Chu Yu said angrily: "Quick, don't waste my money!"

Seeing that Chu Yu was angry, Wei Yun finally gave up the struggle, raised his trouser legs, and exposed the wound in front of Chu Yu.

The large bruises and the ferocious wounds made people tremble. Chu Yu didn't speak. She looked at the wounds and said calmly, "I will ask the doctor to prepare special medicines for wounds. Are there any other wounds? ?"

"It's nothing..." Wei Yun said in a low voice, "Just some wounds like whiplashes..."

Chu Yu nodded and said, "I see."

With that said, Chu Yu stood up and said with him, "Take care of your injury, I'll go back first."

"Um……"

Wei Yun nodded, watching Chu Yu walk out with a cold face, and then stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law..."

"Um?"

"You... don't be angry, okay? You said that if my brother knew that I was so angry with you, he had to beat me to death!"

Wei Yun spoke in an uneasy manner, and the final "kill" sound was as if Wei Jun could really climb out of the grave and beat him to death.

After hearing his words, Chu Yu felt a little helpless: "I'm not mad at you."

She was angry with the bastards who beat him up.

After listening to Chu Yu's words, Wei Yun felt a lot more relaxed, and then he said goodbye to Chu Yu.

After Chu Yu went out, he called Chang Yue over and ordered, "You ask that jailer to record all the people who beat Wei Yun, no matter how much money you make, we will never give him out, let him record it. Just a name."

"Row."

Chang Yue answered and went to the jailer who was guarding Yun. After Changyue went out, Wanyue chuckled lightly: "Young Madam really protects her shortcomings as always."

Chu Yu sneered: "Whatever you do, you have to pay the price. The Wei family hasn't collapsed yet."

After Chang Yue inquired about the news, he handed the list to Chu Yu, and the three returned to the mansion together. Chu Yu instructed people to keep an eye on the Yunlan County Master, and as soon as he returned, the stalking people rushed back and hurriedly said, "Today's visitor went to the Yunlan County Master's Mansion."

"Who?"

Chu Yu hurriedly asked, and the attendant called her name: "Lu Minxing."

Lu Minxing is Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, and has always had a close personal relationship with the Yunlan County Lord, so that it has been widely rumored that he is the guest of the Yunlan County Lord.

However, if you want to understand the level of the prince, it is not difficult to understand, where is Lu Minxing who is the guest of the curtain? It is clear that the prince borrowed Lu Minxing's name to act!

But no matter what, as long as the prince goes, it will be fine. After Tokauka is dyed, it will not go away for ten days, and the eldest princess has always been a careful person. Now that the eldest princess mansion and the prince are discussing marriage, it is impossible not to see each other for so long.

Even if she didn't see her, she would think of a way to get the eldest princess to find the prince.

Chu Yu pondered, and said with the servants: "Continue to stare, especially the eldest princess' mansion and the prince's mansion, even more so."

On the afternoon of the day the prince went to the main mansion of Yunlan County, he went to the princess's mansion. It stands to reason that the princess should have made a move, but there was no movement in this matter.

Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, thinking about which link went wrong.

The eldest princess is a domineering person. She has raised more than a dozen face heads by herself, and she can't bear the grievances of her daughter being jealous. Now that she doesn't move after seeing the prince with Tokaka, what does it mean?

Chu Yu couldn't figure it out, so people stared at it for three days in a row, and the more she waited, the more uneasy she felt. When she was about to go another way, Chu Yu just opened her eyes in the morning of the third day when she heard Changyue rushing in, and said anxiously: "Ma'am, something big has happened!"

Chu Yu opened her eyes suddenly, turned over from the bed, and said coldly, "What's the matter?!"

"Prince...Prince..." Chang Yue panted heavily, Chu Yu tightened her nerves, and heard Chang Yue say, "Prince was caught by the eldest princess from the bed of Yunlan County Master and dragged to the palace!"

Hearing this, Chu Yu took a deep breath.

She was wrong, because she underestimated the eldest princess too much. For the past three days, the eldest princess did not move. It seemed that it was not that she did not intend to move, but that she was disdainful of making small moves.

The eldest princess was too bold to drag the Crown Prince off his cousin's bed and escort him to the palace.

Chu Yu was stunned for a while, then hurriedly said: "Quick, tell me what's going on carefully."

"Just this early morning, Lu Minxing visited the Yunlan County Master's Mansion at night. When it was almost dawn, the eldest princess suddenly brought two hundred dark guards and directly raided the Yunlan County Master's Mansion. Is it next to the Yunlan County Lord's Mansion? That medicine is so powerful that the guards haven't recovered yet."

"That's not the point," Chu Yu said while grooming, "What about later?"

"Oh," Chang Yue returned to the topic: "The eldest princess personally brought people to the master bedroom of Yunlan County, saying that she wanted to arrest Lu Minxing, the disciple who had corrupted the reputation of the Yunlan County master, so the soldiers stepped forward to The man was dragged directly from the bed, and the eldest princess lifted the whip and whipped it. After two strokes, the eldest princess realized that something was wrong, knelt down on one knee, and pulled the man's hair up, wondering, 'This is not my nephew, the crown prince. Your Highness? Your Highness, what are you doing here on your knees without clothes?'"

Changyue held a long whip in one hand, imitating the appearance of the eldest princess, and showed an expression of sudden realization: "Oh, it turns out that this Yunlan county master is not Lord Lu Minxing Lu, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? No? , This is impossible. His Royal Highness is a loyal and righteous person. He knelt down in front of this palace last month and made a promise that after marrying my son, I will not bear it in this life. I love this life alone. Your Highness, do you remember this promise?"

Changyue learned vividly. Chu Yu sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, resting her chin with her hands, her elbows resting on her knees, and said with a smile, "Continue."

"Then His Royal Highness cried, begging the eldest princess to stop this matter. The eldest princess refused to give up, so she said to the prince, 'His Royal Highness, Yunlan County Master is your cousin, you are from the same surname, you and her matter , that is a matter of moral chaos. You are the heir, this is not a trivial matter, we still have to report it to the sage and see how the sage decides."

"After speaking, the eldest princess called people and carried the prince and the Yunlan county master into the palace. All the way, everyone heard about this, and came out to watch, that one was crowded! "

Chang Yue shook his head: "If I were the prince, I would have the heart to wipe my neck."

"Be careful." Wanyue glanced at Changyue with dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Chu Yu listened with relish, and when Changyue finished speaking, she hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from the palace now?"

"No," Chang Yue said excitedly, "Now the entire capital of China is waiting for news from the palace. If we have it, we will definitely know as soon as possible!"

After listening to Chang Yue's words, Chu Yu nodded in satisfaction. With a smile, she instructed the housekeeper to prepare another generous gift, and then she carefully groomed, and then she was waiting to see the eldest princess.

When the sky was completely bright, news finally came from the palace, saying that the eldest princess was drunk and confessed to the wrong person, and the eldest princess was sentenced to be suspended for a month.

Hearing this, all the capital of Huahua sighed, and the crown prince was still very favored.

However, Chu Yu seemed to have expected this result. She brought the prepared gifts and hurried to the long princess mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the Princess' Mansion, the butler of the Princess's Mansion stood guard at the door, and when he saw Chu Yu coming, the butler bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Young madam is here, our princess has been waiting for a long time.

Chu Yu was a little surprised: "Princess knows I'm coming?"

The housekeeper smiled meaningfully: "Princess knows everything."

Chu Yu didn't dare to relax, so she hurriedly praised the eldest princess' intelligence to the housekeeper. The housekeeper responded indifferently and led Chu Yu to the backyard.

In the backyard, the eldest princess was wearing a golden dress with her hair loosely draped. Two beautiful young men stood beside them, one shaking a fan and the other pinching their shoulders. Chu Yu didn't dare to look at it, so she went up to salute the eldest princess, respectfully. Said: "I have seen the eldest princess."

"Okay, don't make this fake."

The eldest princess played with the golden nails in her hand: "Last time you asked me to think about it before replying to you, isn't it just for today? I agree to your conditions," she sneered: "You Wei family, I will save you. ."

After hearing this, Chu Yu was certain in her heart that this matter must be inextricably linked with the prince. However, she did not reveal the slightest such emotion on her face, she looked like she was grateful for Dade, and knelt down and said, "My concubine thanked the princess for her kindness!"

The eldest princess laughed out loud: "Chu Yu, I think you are very interesting. It was clearly designed by one hand, and the crown prince and I jumped into your circle, but on the face of it, we didn't know anything. , grateful to me."

Saying that, the eldest princess lightly flicked her golden nails, raised her hand to watch the flowing brilliance of the nails in the sun, and said slowly, "You don't talk like me, how did you find out about the prince and Yunlan? ?"

After the eldest princess said this, and then continued to pretend, Chu Yu also felt embarrassed. She simply sat down on the ground and said calmly, "There is no impermeable wall in the world. The Wei family has the method of the Wei family, and I also have my own method."

"Princess," she raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess and smiled sincerely: "You won't regret choosing the Wei family today."

The eldest princess sneered, but didn't care about Chu Yu's self-confidence. She just cast her eyes on Jiaohua not far away, and sighed, "It's a pity to marry with your talent. Fortunately, you're a widow like me."

As she said that, she took the wine from the beautiful man next to her, took a sip, and said slowly, "You asked Mrs. Xie to help you convey your request to His Majesty. Do you know why there is no news yet?"

"Because," Chu Yu said calmly, "Your Majesty didn't dare to see me."

"You have such a big tone." The eldest princess smiled, but not mocking, and said slowly: "However, it is true. Now my brother can't make up his mind about the Wei family. When he makes up his mind to give the Wei family a result, then he will see you."

Chu Yu nodded, and the eldest princess was playing with the fan in her hand, and said leisurely: "You probably guessed why he hesitated. This matter is inextricably linked to the prince. Although I don't know what happened, I still have no idea what happened. I understand, His Majesty hesitated between protecting the Crown Prince and protecting the Wei family. The 70,000 army is gone. If this crime is placed on the Crown Prince, it will be too great. However, if it is placed on Wei Zhong, the deceased is already gone. No matter how much you punish, where will the punishment go? Do you really want this whole family of loyalists to be beheaded?"

After hearing this, Chu Yu thoughtfully said: "So your Majesty doesn't want to kill my uncle now, and even wants to save him. But," Chu Yu frowned, "Why didn't he save him?"

"Do you think that if 70,000 people are really Wei Zhong's strategic misstep, as an emperor, but he doesn't get angry or angry, what will the DPRK think?"

"The courtiers will be suspicious of the truth of the matter. Since His Majesty wants to keep the crown prince, naturally he cannot let the court think like this. So he has to take a good attitude. He can't take the initiative to let the Wei family go. There must be a sufficient reason."

Chu Yu said hesitantly, "So what the eldest princess means... I have to give your majesty a step down?"

"Of course." The eldest princess turned the fan in her hand, lowered her eyes, and looked a little cold: "If this crime cannot be escaped, your Wei family might as well recognize it."

Chu Yu didn't say anything, she frowned slightly, thinking seriously.

It would be too difficult to admit the guilt and turn over the established case. If the eldest princess really offered a plan in good faith, then it would be a risky battle. But if the eldest princess wanted to harm the Wei family...

Chu Yu took the Princess Qing's entire position on this matter seriously, watching her hesitate, the Princess also understood what she was thinking, raised the fan, lightly tapped it on her forehead, and said with a chuckle, "Or, you recognize it. ."

Chu Yu raised her head and stared at the eldest princess.

This time, she understood the meaning of the eldest princess, Chu Yu recognized it, and Wei Yun recognized it, it was a completely different concept.

Chu Yu in Huajing, like everyone in Huajing and the emperor, is someone who doesn't know the situation on the battlefield at all. She admits that it doesn't actually mean anything. In the future, a fluttering "I don't know anything" can easily turn the confession.

But Wei Yun recognized it was different. He is the only male of the Wei family today, and the only one of the Wei family who survived on the battlefield. Every word of his has enough weight.

Chu Yu finally understood what the eldest princess meant. Now it is impossible for the emperor to release Wei Yun directly, because he needs the Wei family to admit this crime, he cannot let the world see that he is guilty, and he is determined to keep the prince. However, the emperor didn't really want to sacrifice Wei Yun, it was nothing to sacrifice the reputation of the dead, but if he really wanted Wei Yun to die, the emperor still couldn't be ruthless. In any case, the Wei family died for Da Chu, to defend the imperial family, and the emperor did not dare to let Wei Yun die.

After all, the Wei family was a loyal minister and a good general. Whether it was for Wei Yun's talent or the loyal minister of his ancestors, the emperor couldn't really watch Wei Yun die.

Moreover, Wei Yun was young, if he was allowed to live and control the Wei family's power in the north, the emperor would be better able to control it. If Wei Yun dies, the Wei family will really suffer the grievances, and the remaining forces of the northern Wei family will fight back desperately. This is definitely not the result the emperor wants.

So if Chu Yu wanted to save Wei Yun, he had to give the emperor a step, and give the emperor a reason to let Wei Yun go beyond legal principles.

"I understand."

Chu Yu nodded, spread out her sleeves and bowed, her head touching the ground, and respectfully said with the eldest princess: "I will go back immediately, and take the tablet of my Wei family to the front of the palace, and ask Your Majesty to summon him."

I used to worry that she would do this without looking for the emperor first. In the emperor's eyes, there was a suspicion of coercion. Now, it seems that what the emperor needs is such coercion.

Chu Yu looked up at the eldest princess and said sincerely: "At that time, I hope the eldest princess will deal with it for a while."

"Don't worry," the eldest princess said with coldness in her eyes: "I will help you block the people from the prince's side. It's just that what the prince is doing now, you have to keep it in your heart, remember it!"

"Don't worry, princess."

Chu Yu hurriedly said, "The Crown Prince's actions will never be forgotten by my Weifu."

The eldest princess nodded and didn't say more, she seemed to be tired and narrowed her eyes slightly. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything more, Chu Yu retired.

When she returned to Weifu, she brought Jiang Chun over. Jiang Chun was replying to Liu Xueyang. Now that Liu Xueyang has settled down in Lanling, she asked how Jiang Chun was doing. Jiang Chun had just finished writing the letter and heard Chu Yu come looking for him. Jiang Chun hurried. After rushing over, seeing Chu Yu changing clothes, he said, "Where are you going?"

"You ordered to go down, let the old and young in the house go with me to the ancestral hall to lift the spiritual seat, and kneel to the gate of the palace."

Jiang Chun was stunned for a while, and asked with some doubts: "What is this?"

"I talked to the eldest princess," Chu Yu lowered her voice: "Your Majesty doesn't want to kill Xiaoqi now, but you can't come down to the stage. Let's go and hand your majesty a ladder."

Hearing this, Jiang Chun quickly reacted and nodded coldly, "I'll go right now."

After saying that, she turned around and hurriedly entered the backyard. After notifying the upper and lower levels of the mansion to change into clean filial attire, she concentrated in the courtyard.

When Chu Yu arrived at the courtyard, he saw Jiang Chun, Xie Jiu, Yao Jue, Zhang Han, and Wang Lan were all there.

Chu Yu didn't expect them to come too, so she couldn't help being a little surprised, but after a while, she smiled: "I never thought about this journey, and I can still have you all accompanying me."

"I'll walk with you on the hardest road," Xie Jiu said with a dull expression, "Why don't you go for the last ride?"

"Let's treat us as unlucky." Yao Jue sneered: "What can we do with this dead ghost on the stall?"

"It's all been kept until now," Zhang Han sighed: "Then let's stay for a while, if we can use our place, just do whatever the young lady instructs."

"Young madam..." Wang Lan said timidly, and just as she was about to say something, Chu Yu said, "Liu, don't go, you still have a stomach, so you have to think about the child."

"I'd better go," Wang Lan said with a wry smile: "He was going to take me wherever his brothers and sisters were before his death. Now, if he knew that I was staying at home alone, he would be angry. Then I'll be standing by the side, and it won't be too much trouble."

Chu Yu pursed her lips, and Jiang Chun stepped forward and said, "If she doesn't go, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for her to settle down."

After thinking for a while, Chu Yu finally nodded and said, "The housekeeper takes good care of Mrs. Sixth Young Master."

After speaking, Chu Yu said to everyone: "Wait a while, after burning incense and praying, I will go to the palace gate with the spiritual seat and beg Your Majesty to release Xiao Qi back. If Xiao Qi is still in prison, I'm afraid The person stayed there. Since I am his elder, I should protect him on behalf of the family, everyone," she raised her hand and said, "Go ahead."

After speaking, she led the crowd to the front of the ancestral hall. After everyone burned incense and cleaned their hands, she led them to kneel in the ancestral hall. She was in the first row, and the remaining five young ladies were in the second row. Afterwards, Chu Yu stepped forward, lifted Wei Zhong's spiritual seat, and asked the housekeeper to hold Wei Jun's spiritual seat and follow her, and the people behind took their husbands-in-law one by one, and after that, Take away the spiritual positions corresponding to their identities in order.

Among the 132 people of the fourth Wei family, Chu Yu took the spiritual seat out of the gate of the Wei mansion, and the others followed in two rows, white clothes like snow, only the spiritual card in his hand was dazzlingly black.

They walked towards the palace gate in a mighty manner, and everyone looked at them wherever they passed.

When they came to the gate of the palace, they saw the white piece of white, and the guards who were guarding the gate felt a little guilty. When Chu Yu came to the gate, the guards suddenly drew their knives and said in a voice, "Who is coming?!"

"Chu Yu, the prince concubine of the Marquis of Zhenguo, has come with the four kings of life and death of the Weifu, and I ask to see your majesty!"

Hearing this, the guards looked at each other in dismay.

"none."

"Then," the officer hesitated a little, "Why don't you ask your Majesty to summon you to come back after you have made a report?"

"If Your Majesty is willing to see it, why should the concubine be like this?"

Chu Yu raised her eyes and looked at the honest and honest man across from her, and smiled slightly: "I know that it is difficult for you to do this, and I don't want to embarrass you, but to trouble you to report to Your Majesty." After speaking, Chu Yu held the spiritual seat and knelt on both knees. Going down: "The Wei family is full of doors, if you don't see your majesty, even if you kneel here and become a stone in the wind, you will not return."

As soon as Chu Yu knelt down, the people behind him knelt down. There was a vast expanse of white clothes and black spirit cards. They looked neat and tidy.

The officer hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then... Rong Xiguan will report to His Majesty."

After the officer finished speaking, he turned around and entered the inner palace. Everyone in the Wei family knelt on the ground like this. Wang Lan sat in the carriage, hugged Wei Rong, and looked out from the curtain, quite worried.

The sun was shining brightly today, and it was a good day. More than 100 people in the Wei residence were kneeling here, but they didn't make any sound. saw the autumn sun falling on everyone, reflecting a dazzling light.

The officer said that he went into the palace to ask the emperor, but he did not come back after he went. But Chu Yu didn't care either. The reason she put on such a big stance today was to make the steps of the emperor higher. If so, the bigger the momentum, the better.

Chu Yu knelt at the palace gate, and the news spread all over Huajing immediately. However, everyone had their own plans, and they all waited for the news from the palace, without saying a word.

In the early morning of the second day, ministers began to go to court one after another, but Chu Yu was still stuck at the gate of the palace. The first prime minister, Shu Lei, saw this posture, and immediately lowered the curtain of the car, and said with the attendant: "Change the door, don't enter from here."

The attendant was a little puzzled, and turned to look at Shu Lei: "Sir, why is this?"

"The hero is here, how can I rush it when I wait?"

Shu Lei glared at the attendant: "I'll just go through the side door."

With Shu Lei opening his head, everyone went to the palace gate and took a detour until Mrs. Xie arrived, he stopped, and then came to Chu Yu.

"Mrs. Wei Shao..."

Master Xie sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?"

"The only blood of the Wei family is still in prison. As his eldest sister-in-law, how can I sit safely at home?"

Chu Yu raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Xie. She had been kneeling all day and night, her face was a little haggard. Mrs. Xie opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she just said: "Sincere and sincere is the best way to go."

After saying that, he shook his head and walked into the palace from the palace gate with his hands behind his back.

Chu Yu looked up at Mrs. Xie's back, and understood what Mrs. Xie meant.

The time to kneel is too short to be worthy of this sentence.

She closed her eyes and said nothing.

No one in the court mentioned this matter until the end, a young minister surnamed Chen from the Censor Station finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Wei family is now all kneeling outside, the Wei family is Even if Wei Zhong committed heinous crimes, he could not treat such a loyal and righteous family like this!"

Hearing this, Cao Xiong stood up and said angrily: "Sir Chen's words are too bad, seventy thousand horses is a child's play, according to the old man's words, the crime that Wei Zhong committed today, even if he quarrelled and killed his family, is enough. of!"

"Master Cao is too aggressive," Chen Yushi blushed: "Even if it is a civil violation, there is still a way to keep it. Now Wei Yun is the only bloodline of the Wei family, not to mention that Wei Yun has not pleaded guilty. Even if he confesses his guilt, he should take care of his mother to the point of death before accepting punishment. This is the principle of human ethics, Master Cao's thinking is really too cruel!"

When Cao Xiong heard this, he was furious and quarreled with Chen Yushi in court. However, the two of them are not really powerful figures. After arguing all morning, this matter is nothing.

When Chu Yu heard about this, she knew that the louder and more urgent it was in the court, the closer it would be to "satisfaction" with His Majesty.

Chu Yu was not in a hurry, and knelt down steadily.

The sun was shining brightly on the first day, and it was raining and raining on the second day. Those with poor physical strength began to fall down one after another, and they were carried back again, leaving only one spiritual seat to continue to accompany everyone.

On the morning of the third day, the sun was hot and poisonous, more and more people fell, and more and more people were arguing for the Wei family above the court.

On the fourth day, it rained heavily, and only half of the kneeling people remained.On this day, the eldest princess also came. She got off the gorgeous phoenix car, glanced at Chu Yu lightly, and then patted Chu Yu on the shoulder.

Chu Yu felt the torrential rain falling on her, and her whole body seemed to be beaten by a daughter.

She looked up at the eldest princess with difficulty, but the eldest princess said with a smile, "Don't worry, Wei Yun will be back soon."

Saying that, she raised her hand to straighten her clothes, and raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears.

"The battle that this palace is going to fight has never been lost!"
