But that's what makes people worry.
It's normal to feel sad and embarrassed when encountering such a thing, but it's really scary to act as if nothing happened.
Princess Xianrong was terrified. Ever since she left the palace, she was diagnosed to be pregnant. She was worried and happy at the same time, but she didn't expect that the child would be unsafe.
Just as Hu Changshi came to Beijing, he went straight to the palace instead of the prince's mansion. Then he came out and explained the pros and cons, and taught the unfilial son a lesson on behalf of Prince Linjiang. Then he said that he would deprive the prince of his title.
She was already very nervous, fearing that someone from the palace would come to arrest her at any time. She couldn't eat anything and lost a lot of weight in a few days. After hearing what Hu Changshi said, she had her period that night.
Later, I hurried to see a doctor overnight, and the doctor said that the fetus was fine, but I needed to stay in bed as much as possible to protect the fetus.
Although she was so frightened, she was still worried whether Chu Jingxing could withstand such a big blow, and she wanted someone to persuade him.
Only then did I realize that Chu Jingxing had been hiding in the study for several days and had not gone out.
Even meals were only allowed to be delivered to the study door and brought in by servants, and no one was allowed to guard the study door.
The Lady of Xianrong County sent people to check on Chu Jingxing several times, but Chu Jingxing refused to let anyone in and just said that everything was fine.
She was panicked. Nanny Yuan went back to the princess's mansion. She didn't even have anyone to talk to, so she asked Bailing to come to the princess's mansion for help.
Princess Chang'an still cared more about her daughter. When she heard that she had bleeding, she was immediately frightened and asked in a stern voice: "Bleeding?! If she was not feeling well, why didn't the prince accompany her?!"
Bai Ling was a little embarrassed. She saw that Princess Chang'an was angry, so she lowered her head and whispered, "It was the Crown Prince's wife who didn't want to disturb the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has locked himself in the study for a few days. She was worried that the Crown Prince would be even more sad if he knew about this."
Girls are extroverts.
Princess Chang'an couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
It is obvious that the daughter cares a lot about her son-in-law and considers him in everything.
In this way, she had no way out.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Princess Chang'an said, "You go back first and bring some herbs. I will come over in person tomorrow."
After hearing her words, Bailing happily responded yes.
Princess Chang'an was not happy, but seemed worried: "Do you think Chu Jingxing is the kind of person who shrinks into his shell after suffering a little setback?"
Of course not.
Otherwise, how could he dare to attack the Fifth Prince right after the Fourth Prince's death, thinking of killing two birds with one stone and eliminating Shen Chen and others at the same time
Nanny Yuan shook her head honestly.
"Then why has he been hiding in the study for so many days..."
Seeing Princess Chang'an frowning, Nanny Yuan said tentatively, "I've heard that there used to be a secret passage in the Linjiang Palace."
I heard that Princess Xianrong once mentioned this, saying that Princess Linjiang once told her that if that day really came one day, it would be the key to saving her life.
These words should not have been told to the daughter-in-law. Even she herself probably knew about them by accident.
But for the sake of her eldest son and her youngest son, she still told this to Princess Xianrong just in case, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Princess Chang'an understood immediately and realized that Chu Jingxing's so-called staying indoors might not actually mean he was staying indoors, but that he was in a secret passage.
She hummed, rubbed her forehead, and said softly: "We don't know what's going on now, let's wait and see tomorrow."
Chu Jingxing was indeed in the secret passage. Chu Jingwu had moved out and Shen Chen was not in the palace either. This secret passage was his favorite place to hide.
Because I like coming here, the layout here is particularly exquisite.
The floor was covered with snow-white Persian carpets, and the small table was also made of red lacquered wood. The glazed triangular palace lanterns above it flashed a dim light, making the exquisite murals on the surrounding walls even more magnificent.
But Chu Jingxing certainly didn't come here to appreciate these things. He faced the person opposite him in silence and didn't speak for a long time.
It was the person on the other side who took the initiative to break the silence, calling out "Prince", and then asking, "What are your plans now, Prince?"
Hu Changshi stroked his beard and sighed: "The prince was so angry that he even smashed several cups in the fiefdom. Because the princess pleaded for you, he scolded the princess as well and asked Concubine Yu to come out and manage the matter..."
After all, he was in his fiefdom and he was the local tyrant. He had the final say and no one dared to go against him.
He didn't punish Princess Linjiang on purpose because he had nothing to do. Instead, he wanted to use the punishment of Princess Linjiang to tell all his subordinates that even the princess was punished for pleading for the prince. Anyone else who wanted to speak up should think twice before doing so.
"You really think highly of me." Chu Jingxing turned the cup in his hand with a half-smile: "This is really a big scene."
Afraid that others didn't know how much he, the King of Linjiang, hated his eldest son, he began to pave the way for Chu Jingwu.
Hu Changshi disagreed with his statement. He glanced at him and said without hiding anything: "Logically speaking, the prince is really too impatient."
He has always been a very good hider, but for some reason he has become so impatient recently and has been making incomprehensible mistakes over and over again. These mistakes really shouldn't be made, but he keeps making them again and again.
Originally, Prince Linjiang was not as kind to him as before.
It would have been fine if he had succeeded, but unfortunately he ended up losing more than he gained.
Hu Changshi said a few words and then stopped talking. He asked Chu Jingxing directly, "What are your plans for the future, Prince?"
He was actually asking how to clean up the mess left by the Xia and Xiao families.
Chu Jingxing's expression gradually darkened, and after a moment he sneered and asked mockingly, "What else can I do? If something happens to me, can the Linjiang Palace remain unscathed? Needless to say, my father asked you to come here, so he must have a plan, right?"
Hu Changshi fell silent, and said unnaturally: "The prince means... to leave some blood for the Xiao family and the Xia family. They should also be aware of the current situation. If we don't take action, they will still die if they involve us. It is better to take this opportunity to leave some blood. When that day comes, the prince will still remember their past friendship for their efforts for the palace, and their family may have a day to make a comeback."
In other words, they had to find a way to get out some of the underage young masters and young ladies who were not deeply involved with the Xiao and Xia families. This method was used to bribe and threaten the Xia and Xiao families to stop talking nonsense.
Who doesn’t care about incense and offerings? Who really wants to have no one to offer sacrifices to them after they die
Chu Jingxing laughed.
