King Rui didn't expect that the prince's grandson would be Chu Xiuyuan, shouldn't he hide him tightly? And he also heard that Chu Xiuyuan led troops to fight those barbarians more than once... King Rui almost fainted, this is the grandson of the prince, the precious grandson of the prince, the one who will disappear after death...
Wait, the prince's descendant and grandson all treat him like this, what if it was him
Let him go to fight the barbarians? Or fight with the Prince of England
Chu Xiuyuan looked at King Rui who was about to faint with some doubts, and looked at Zhao Duan who was on the side. Zhao Duan couldn't understand his brother-in-law, so he just shook his head slightly, and Chu Xiuyuan simply stopped thinking about it. , began to discuss business matters with Zhao Duan in a low voice, and when King Rui came to his senses, he looked at Chu Xiuyuan's side face and said suddenly, "You really don't look like your grandfather."
If these words fall into the ears of people who are not familiar with King Rui, they may think that what King Rui said is not good, but Chu Xiuyuan and Shen Jin have been friends for so long, and they have been with King Rui for a while, so they naturally know King Rui was just saying one thing, "Yes, I am more like a mother."
"Your mother?" King Rui asked.
Chu Xiuyuan said with a smile, "My father is the second son of the imperial grandfather, and my mother is from the Chu family."
King Rui nodded, and Chu Xiuyuan was really Chu Xiuming's cousin, "Dongdong looks like your grandfather."
Chu Xiuyuan responded, King Rui didn't know what to say to Chu Xiuyuan, he just looked at Chu Xiuyuan for a long time before sighing and said, "You are fine."
Zhao Duan did not speak at the side, he would follow just to be wary of what King Rui said was inappropriate, now it seems that he can rest assured, and thanks to Chu Xiuyuan's good temper, if it was replaced by Emperor Cheng Temperament, these few words King Rui has offended people severely.
King Rui opened his mouth and said, "My mother's empress... also had to do it back then, and you will sit on the throne in the future..."
"I know." Chu Xiuyuan knew what King Rui meant, and said, "Great-grandmother is still great-grandmother."
King Rui nodded, "That's fine, I'm leaving, you can let me know if there is anything in the future, I won't come to the daily meeting hall."
In the palace, Shen Jin has been pregnant for more than three months now. Those who are familiar with Shen Jin can find that her belly is actually slightly pregnant. Those who are not familiar with Shen Jin may not notice this. What's more, Shen Jin has been used to wearing looser clothes since she first found out that she might be pregnant. In addition, she has grown a lot taller. At first glance, she doesn't think it's a problem with the clothes. The whole person has lost a lot of weight, so the clothes look loose. This is the little way An Yi helped arrange. She didn't let go of the clothes all at once, but let go of them little by little, and then slightly changed other places, subtly affecting people. Zhong Shen Jin lost weight day by day.
When Princess Ru Yang arrived, she looked at Shen Jin's appearance and sighed in her heart, even with the protection of the Queen Mother, Shen Jin's life in the palace would not be easy, Shen Jin seemed to be unaware, and she still smiled brightly and shouted, "Cousin, please sit down."
"En." Princess Ruyang said, "If you want to use something, let the kitchen make it directly. If you don't have it, tell me, and I will find a way to get it for you."
Shen Jin waited for Princess Ruyang to sit, and sat next to her. She naturally took a cushion and hugged it in her arms, and then lazily leaned on the other cushion, "Got it." Shen Jin has always been a A very careful person, even if she knew that Princess Ruyang didn't find out about her situation, she would still hide it a bit. When she sat down, "I don't know what's going on in the border town."
Princess Ru Yang didn't know that she had lost a lot of weight. After all, she was worried about the son-in-law and the children. Hearing the words, she inevitably felt a little resentful towards Shen Jin, but at the same time she understood that she had to protect Shen Jin, "A few days ago, Father... "
As if chatting, Princess Ruyang told Shen Jin the news she had found out. Shen Jin casually looked at the scenery outside the window, and responded from time to time. Princess Ruyang didn't know whether Shen Jin was interested, but she could do it. That's all, she can't send news to the border town by herself, "I heard from my mother that the emperor's grandmother left Beijing to pray for the apocalypse."
"Oh?" Shen Jin looked at Princess Ruyang in surprise, "It's very dangerous outside, who knows where Prince Ying's son is, the safest place should be the palace."
Princess Ru Yang observed Shen Jin's expression carefully, and said, "Father seems to be a little moved."
Shen Jin frowned and didn't say a word, Princess Ru Yang continued, "The emperor's grandmother seems to want to take you, Shen Rong."
"I don't want to leave Beijing." Shen Jin pursed her lips and said, "My husband asked me to wait for him in the palace."
Princess Ru Yang shook her head and said, "It depends on what the emperor and the emperor's grandmother want. The queen mother can't talk to the emperor." In fact, the empress agreed with the empress dowager to leave Beijing. In that case, some things would be more convenient.
Shen Jin didn't say a word, Princess Ru Yang asked, "By the way, have you seen Shen Rong?"
"No." Shen Jin was obviously still thinking about leaving Beijing, so he said absent-mindedly.
Princess Ruyang said with some displeasure, "How can she be a younger sister?"
Shen Jin said, "We don't have a good relationship."
Princess Ru Yang didn't say anything, instead she chatted with Shen Jin about other things. Shen Jin did have something in mind, but it wasn't what Princess Ru Yang thought. Leaving Beijing was a good opportunity for Shen Jin, not to mention Yue Wen's friends. The person did not go back to the border town, but hid around the capital. As long as she left the palace, Shen Jin could find an opportunity to leave the capital secretly. Her goal had been achieved. Shen Jin came to the capital as a hostage, but not for Emperor Cheng. The hostage is for the world to see. If Shen Jin disappears, even if Emperor Cheng suspects Chu Xiuming, how many people will believe this
After all, Shen Jin came here on his own initiative, not at the insistence of Emperor Cheng.
The most important point is that Xu Yuan should have succeeded. If Xu Yuan succeeded, then Emperor Cheng would never let Shen Jin leave the palace, because that would mean that the strength of King Ying's son would be weakened. Although Chu Xiuming's strength It remains the same, but it has the upper hand. Even if Emperor Cheng is willing to join hands with Prince Ying's son to deal with Chu Xiuming, the two of them together will not be Chu Xiuming's opponent. The cooperation with the Prince of England can only be short-term, and it is impossible to cooperate for a long time, because the ministers and the people will not be willing.
As long as Emperor Cheng dares to contact King Ying's son, those aristocratic families will dare to take refuge with Chu Xiuming. After all, Emperor Cheng does not hate King Ying's son, because without King Ying, Emperor Cheng would not be able to sit on the throne, and the family and many ministers are very hostile to King Ying. There is blood and deep feud in one line, which family does not have a few people who died at the hands of the King of England? The soldiers led by the King of England at the beginning did not cause much harm to people.
Now the aristocratic family has not said anything, but they are not sure about the strength of King Ying's son. When they find out that Chu Xiuming has weakened King Ying's son and even sent his wife to Beijing as a hostage, how will they ask Chengdi? Even if it is forced, Emperor Cheng must be forced to fight the prince of England. What if Shen Jin suddenly disappeared at this delicate moment? I'm afraid no one would suspect that Shen Jin ran away by himself, but that Emperor Cheng was more concerned about Chu Xiuming and thus hid Shen Jin, or the Prince of England made a desperate move against Shen Jin...
What we have to do now is to find a way to leave the capital before the news from Prince Ying's son comes. If it weren't for what Princess Ruyang said today, Shen Jin might not have thought of this. She is just taking advantage of the situation. , Why did the Queen Mother want to leave Beijing with Shen Jin? Naturally, it was because Shen Jin was pregnant, so Emperor Cheng found out that she couldn't protect her, which hindered King Rui from being able to sit on the throne, and the Queen Mother had to do her best.
Princess Ru Yang noticed Shen Jin's distraction, but she didn't take it seriously, and finally comforted, "Don't think too much, I'll go back and talk to the queen mother, and find a way for you to stay."
Shen Jin slightly lowered his eyes and nodded and said, "The son of King Ying is haunted by ghosts. If I leave the palace, I am afraid he will not let me go. I am the princess in the palace, and your majesty is also my emperor's uncle. There are also the emperor's aunt and others." Naturally, there is nothing wrong with taking care of her, if it falls into the hands of the Prince of England..."
Princess Ru Yang also understood what Shen Jin meant, and said, "Don't worry."
Shen Jin nodded. Princess Ruyang came here today to test Shen Jin. Now that she got the answer, she didn’t want to stay any longer, so she left first and went back to talk to the queen. In fact, Princess Ruyang is also contradictory. On the one hand, she will tell The news about Shen Jin's capital city is because both the son-in-law and the child are in the hands of Chu Xiuming, but on the one hand, she is helping the queen to test Shen Jin, because she understands what the queen mother said is that she is now a princess, but not the only daughter of Emperor Cheng. If her younger brother became the emperor and her mother was the queen mother, then her status would be different, so... While secretly betraying Emperor Cheng, Princess Ruyang also betrayed Shen Jin for her own benefit.
When Princess Ru Yang said goodbye, Shen Jin sent it off in person. Princess Ru Yang went directly to the queen's palace, described Shen Jin's expression in detail, and said, "I see that Shen Jin's complexion is not very good. , and I really don’t know about it, I’m afraid it’s the Queen Mother’s own initiative.”
"But why?" said the queen, frowning.
Princess Ru Yang thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of King Rui. After all, King Rui is also the queen mother's biological son. Now no one knows where King Rui is. The queen mother suspects that it is in Chu Xiuming's hands, and she is afraid that Chu Xiuming will do it for Shen Jin. Hand over King Rui to Emperor Cheng, then the one waiting for King Rui is..." Princess Ruyang didn't finish speaking, the queen also understood, "So the queen mother wants Shen Jin to be in her hands, so that she can negotiate with Chu Xiuming at critical moments, Protect King Rui."
The queen also understood, "It's not wrong for Shen Jin to be greedy. In Beijing, she was Mrs. Yongninghou and the princess, but she was nothing if she fell into the hands of the prince of England. If King Rui was in the hands of the prince of England In hand, do you think the Queen Mother will send Shen Jin to exchange for King Rui for the safety of King Rui?"
"I'm afraid it will." Princess Ru Yang said after thinking for a while.
The queen nodded, and Princess Ruyang asked, "Queen mother, what should I do?"
"Nothing to do." The Empress said indifferently, "This is the decision of Emperor Cheng and the Empress Dowager, not mine... let the Empress Dowager leave the palace as soon as possible!"
Princess Ru Yang narrowed her eyes and nodded, "Yes."
The queen thought about it for a while. If there was no queen mother, some things would be much more convenient. She only had one son left, and this son was all her hope. Thinking of the death of her eldest son, the queen was filled with hatred.
