The family dinner in the evening was short. We ate and chatted and dispersed after the meal.
Just like last time, after the banquet was over, the queen opened her mouth and rewarded each of the princesses in the cabinet with one thousand taels of silver.
The three princesses came over quickly to thank them.
"You are all royal princesses, and I am happy that you can live a good life." The Queen looked gentle, "As I get older, I like to see my children running smoothly and peacefully, and not being noisy all day long. and."
This is a reminder and a warning.
The three princesses thanked the queen, and the consorts also thanked the queen from the bottom of their hearts.
When King Chen saw this, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, after adopting her legitimate son, the queen could not do anything without desires and desires. Everything she did seemed to be just out of the queen's fairness to the younger generation, but they were all trying to win people's hearts for Rong Cang.
The consorts of the three princesses are all sons of officials. Although their fathers are not high-ranking officials, the situation in the court is changing rapidly, and relatives of the emperor will always be relatives of the emperor.
When one's character is reliable, one can feel more at ease when using one's own, so next, does the queen plan to ask the emperor to promote several members of the consort's family to make them more devotedly loyal to Rong Cang?
King Chen stood aside with narrowed eyes, hiding the sneer from his eyes.
There were a lot of things going on in the court recently, and Emperor Mu left not long after he left. As soon as he left, King Chen naturally did not stay to ask for trouble. He watched the queen and Rong Cang enjoy themselves happily, and soon took his wife to leave.
Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei left a quarter of an hour later than them.
However, when the two of them drove out of the palace gate in the palace carriage arranged by the queen, they saw that King Chen and Jiang Ying had not yet left, as if they were waiting here deliberately for Rong Cang and his wife.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
This sentence could not be more appropriate to apply here.
The two brothers looked at each other expressionlessly, as if they no longer bothered to make superficial efforts, and the hostility in their eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Rong Cang." Prince Chen looked at him with a smile, his tone was sinister, "Brother, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the Queen's legitimate son."
"Thank you very much. I also congratulate you on regaining your freedom." Rong Cang said indifferently.
One sentence made King Chen's face twist and become extremely gloomy.
He took a deep breath: "You can extort five million taels of silver from the Gu family. You are more capable than I imagined."
"Five million taels is nothing. My goal is to make the Gu family disappear completely." Rong Cang's eyebrows were stern, with a cold air, "If you have any tricks, you can use them. I happen to be collecting evidence recently."
King Chen clenched his fists: "We are brothers of the same blood, do you really want to be so cruel?"
"When His Highness Chen Wang plotted against Rong Cang, he should have never regarded him as your brother, right?" Chu Yunfei smiled coldly, "Now that you feel the crisis, you have begun to engage in brotherly love?"
King Chen was disgusted: "When a man speaks, do you have any room to interrupt?"
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows: "I just interrupted, how do you like it?"
"You——" King Chen's face was livid, and he didn't want to waste words with the female class. He looked at Rong Cang coldly, "You have short hands and a soft mouth when you eat people. You took so much money from the Gu family, didn't you just do it for Do you want the Gu family to cooperate with you?"
"The Gu family is not qualified to cooperate with me." Rong Cang showed no mercy, "This money belongs to the treasury. They are greedy and lied about the disaster. It is his fate that the money they have eaten over the years did not kill them. But in the future Not so lucky.”
King Chen heard the meaning of his words and asked carefully, "What do you want to do?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Rong Cang dropped these words, took Chu Yunfei's hand and turned to walk towards their carriage.
King Chen stared at his back coldly, and slowly clenched the hands hanging by his sides.
Damn it.
He thought Rong Cang wanted to take advantage of the Gu family, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to eradicate the Gu family.
This treacherous thing just took five million taels, and now he wants to break his promise?
"Sure enough, power is a person's confidence." Princess Chen stared at Chu Yunfei's back with a hint of mockery, "I spoke a lot more forcefully today."
It was completely different from the situation where she was laughed at for divorcing her wife in early March. In less than two months, she turned around and became a winner in life. It was like she suddenly became the darling of God, and all the good luck was piled on her alone. .
It makes people want to get rid of her quickly.
King Chen said nothing.
"Chu Yunfei threatened me with Qianqi today." Jiang Ying said in a calm tone, "What does the prince think we should do?"
King Chen's expression changed and he turned to look at her: "What did you say?"
"At today's family dinner, Chu Yunfei said that if I continue to be unjust, she wouldn't mind letting Qianqi come out to meet my father." Jiang Ying's voice was cold, "Qianqi has become the handle in their hands."
"Who is Qianqi?" King Chen asked lightly.
Jiang Ying looked at him in surprise: "Prince?"
"Do we know Qianqi?" King Chen looked at her expressionlessly, "Do you know her?"
Jiang Ying looked at him for a moment. After a moment, she finally understood what he meant and slowly shook her head: "I don't know."
"Go back to the palace." King Chen took the lead on the carriage.
…
As the carriage drove slowly on the road to Prince Zhan's Mansion, Chu Yunfei leaned against Rong Cang gently: "Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns."
Rong Cang held her shoulders: "How are you these days?"
"It's good." Chu Yunfei nodded with a smile, "No one dares to cause trouble for me when I stay in my mother's harem. My mother treats me like her own daughter. I feel like I have gained a few pounds."
Rong Cang's lips slightly raised: "You and your mother are very destined."
Chu Yunfei hummed: "What about you?"
Rong Cang suppressed his smile and looked at her faintly.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yunfei's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but sit up, "Did you get plotted again?"
"No." Rong Cang shook his head, "I brought two women back from Shuozhou."
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes and slowly pushed him away: "What woman?"
"The Gu family gave me the spy." Rong Cang quickly hugged her again, "The Gu family's concubine, the Gu Sixth Young Master's two sisters, the Gu family's eldest son wanted to use them to monitor my actions, but they wanted me to help them take revenge. .”
"so……"
"So they will be very peaceful." Rong Cang said, "Just don't misunderstand me."
Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment: "Mother, did you see the mark on your body?"
Rong Cang nodded: "Yes."
"Mrs. Xie came to talk to me today." Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes, with some understanding in his eyes, "What happened back then is probably related to the Queen Mother, but I'm not sure yet what role she played in it."
Rong Cang pondered briefly: "Do you want to meet the Queen Mother?"
"Now is not the right opportunity." Chu Yunfei shook his head, "Today Prince Chen and his wife are going to see Concubine Gu. I asked Mo Yu to follow them. I will listen to what she says later and then make a decision."
Rong Cang hummed and said nothing more.
