Rong Jin is indeed having a hard time these days.
Heirs killing each other and fighting for power are one of the things that the emperor fears the most.
Emperor Jiawen also seized his throne in this way, so he was even more sensitive and suspicious about this matter.
Of course he knew that this was an inevitable struggle for the royal family, but he never expected that Rong Jin would be the first to take action!
In the beginning, the Supreme Emperor was slow to establish a crown prince, which resulted in him and several brothers committing fratricide. Therefore, when it came to him, he appointed Rong Jin, the eldest son born to the queen, as the crown prince early because he was worried that the same thing would happen again.
But things went contrary to expectations, and Rong Jin really disappointed him.
Emperor Jiawen couldn't figure it out. Rong Jin was a prince with a noble status and had advantages over others. As long as those few didn't rebel, this position would be his in the future!
But why is he so restless
Emperor Jiawen did not make any public announcement about this matter and ordered that the information be locked up and no one should leak it.
Then, he ordered Rong Jin to think about his mistakes in front of the wall in the mansion, and took back his right to supervise the six departments.
The papers sent to the Prince's Mansion were sent back to the palace by Rong Jin overnight and placed again on the desk in the imperial study.
Rong Jin knew in his heart that his father no longer trusted him.
Compared with others, this is his biggest loss!
If the father still cannot trust him in the future, then in the future—
Rong Jin did not dare to think too much, knowing that he was in the wrong, so he could only do his best to admit his mistake and express his attitude, hoping to reduce the anger in his father's heart.
This is the biggest secret loss he has suffered since he became the prince, but he cannot yet seek revenge on the culprit!
Rong Jin felt very aggrieved, but he didn't even dare to vent. His father must have been watching him openly or secretly at this moment, so what could he do
After much deliberation, he had no choice but to lock himself in the study and did not come out for two days.
On the morning of the third day, Chu Xianmin brought soup as usual, but as expected, she couldn't even get in.
Chu Xianmin's face was already a little confused.
On the first day she married into the prince's palace, the prince was summoned to the palace overnight by His Majesty. After he came back, he went directly into the study, and she couldn't even see him.
In the past three days, the servants in the mansion had spoken very unpleasant words. Many people thought that she was not favored, and their attitude was very presumptuous.
Today she had to fight for herself no matter what.
But Chu Xianmin knew that it would not do her any good if she forced her way in.
Therefore, she suppressed the humiliation in her heart and said to the closed door:
"Your Highness, Chuanbei Snow Pear Soup Minmin has put this for you. You should drink some when you are free, so as not to exhaust yourself. In addition, Minmin has a favor to ask for. After being nursed for a while, Minmin's body has recovered a lot. What do you think about going back to the academy to attend classes tomorrow?"
If she became a princess, she would naturally be too lazy to go back.
But now that her appearance has been destroyed, this is the only way left.
As long as she still has strength, the prince will never go too far with her.
So even if Chu Liuyue, whom she hated the most, was in the academy, she had to go back!
After saying that, Chu Xianmin was filled with anxiety and waited outside the door.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Rong Jin's answer.
"You can go back to the academy if you want, but you are not allowed to live in the academy anymore and go back to your home every day. In addition, you must always pay attention to your identity! You must not embarrass me!"
Chu Xianmin was granted amnesty:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
…
The next day, Chu Ning left in a hurry early in the morning.
Chu Liuyue guessed that the prince's trouble this time was probably more serious than previously expected.
Thinking of this, she felt very good, so she walked out of the house without resting at home and went straight to Zhenbao Pavilion.
As soon as her figure appeared in Zhenbao Pavilion, a sharp-eyed boy ran to the back hall to tell Yan Pavilion.
Yan Ge, who was busy counting the goods inside, didn't care anymore. He arrived at the front hall in three steps and two steps at a time. His face was full of enthusiasm, but without losing respect:
"Miss Liu Yue, what brought you here?"
"The academy is closed today. I'm just here to take a look."
"Hehe, that's a good relationship! Take a look, do you like anything?" Yan Ge rubbed his hands with an expectant look, as if as long as Chu Liuyue said which one he liked, he would immediately give it to her.
Chu Liuyue waved her hands quickly:
"No, Mr. Yan is too polite. I haven't used many of the things you gave me before. I came here today to ask you for a few people."
Yan Ge was confused:
"You want someone? What are you planning to do?"
Chu Liuyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Settling the account."
…
Chu family, main hall.
The Great Elder was in a high position, with a stack of account books on the table next to him. There were several steward-looking people standing in front of him, all of whom had lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes with nervous expressions on their faces.
The room was very quiet, except for the sound of the great elder flipping through the account books.
Every time he finished reading a book, the great elder's face became uglier.
At the end, his expression turned completely gloomy, and he slammed the account book on the table.
"What's going on! In the past six months, the shop under the Chu family's name has not only failed to make a profit, but has also suffered a loss!? How do you do things!"
Several stewards trembled with fright.
One of them wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured with a grimace:
"Great Elder, we have no choice! This year has been a bad year. We cannot collect the rent from the property, and the business is not easy to do. There is really no big income! And the expenses in the mansion have always been huge... This is why we have less in and more out, and we are losing money. So much."
"Weren't there a few shops that were profitable before? Why don't we have accounts from those stores?!" The great elder flipped through the account books irritably.
Several people looked at each other and their voices became even lower:
"... Great Elder, you have forgotten that those shops were awarded to Chu Ning by the head of the family. His name was written on them all... After he left the Chu family, he sent people to take back those shops."
The elder was shocked before he remembered this.
Chu Ning was very popular in the Chu family and was almost recognized as the next head of the family, so she also had a lot of assets in her name.
After falling into despair, although he was in a terrible situation and was deprived of these houses, the name on the land deed did not change.
After Chu Ning took office as the President of the Guards, it was naturally not a problem to take back these.
They don't have the guts to confront Chu Ning now.
The great elder was so angry that he almost tore the account book to pieces.
If this continues, life will become even more difficult for the Chu family!
"Great Elder, Chu, Chu Liuyue is here!"
At this moment, a boy suddenly ran in from the door with a look of panic on his face.
Everyone thought they heard wrongly.
If Chu Liuyue had already broken away from the Chu family, how could she still dare to visit
The great elder narrowed his eyes:
"Is it really her!?"
"Yes, it's her!" The boy was on the verge of crying, "She also brought a few people with her, and they're right outside the gate right now!"
"She really has the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard!"
The great elder slapped the case and stood up.
"She actually has the nerve to come to my Chu family again! I want to see what she plans to do this time!"
Even if she kneels down to beg him, he will never show mercy!
The boy gasped and spoke with difficulty:
"Great Elder, Chu Liuyue said, said -"
"say what?"
"She said she's here to ask for a bill today!"
