"He's very busy now." Chu Yunxi just replied lightly, with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Pei Xiaoqing didn't ask any further questions. Back then, when the little Yunxi was still Prince Ning's heir, he should have respected and liked this concubine elder brother very much.

If he has always been the prince and his identity has never been doubted by King Ning, then after King Ning's incident, he should be the possible prince, not Chu Yunyao.

Because of the messy relationship back then, Chu Yunxi became the most embarrassing one. If he was the emperor's son, the emperor would make him the prince because he loved him. If he was not the emperor's son, King Ning will also love his better son more, but unfortunately, he is neither.

"It doesn't matter, you just rest at home. Whoever they like will be the emperor. As long as you are safe and sound, when your body is fully recovered, we will go out to visit the mountains and rivers and have a good time." Pei Xiaoqing intentionally said The topic was changed because he didn't want Chu Yunxi to feel sad.

"Well, let's go for a tour, and I'll show you the scenery and delicious food." Chu Yunxi also smiled, and gently hugged Pei Xiaoqing in his arms. Knowing that this kind of warmth is just putting aside the turmoil outside for the time being, the mood is actually very heavy and depressing.

In the next few days, King Ning acted resolutely to eliminate dissidents. People were beheaded every day at the entrance of the vegetable market on the East Street. Such a large-scale killing was naturally opposed and reviled by many scholars. The name is not right and the words are not right, and it does not occupy the axiom of heaven, so it is resisted by many civil officials.

But King Ning seemed to be very impatient, and he was too lazy to use soft policies to appease him. His methods were tough and bloody, which aroused even more opposition in the capital. After suppressing a group of people, they eased up.

And Bei Dinghou, who was guarding forty miles east of the capital, finally came back to mourn for the emperor, and at the same time handed over the booklet to Ning Wangfu. Swinging their troops to the north, the ministers who fought against King Ning realized that the general situation was over. King Ning had already taken control of the Northern Army and the Tongzhou Camp. Accounted for most of the military power, and controlled the capital and the palace.

Resisting or going against Ning Wu will only lead to more killings and unnecessary sacrifices. Therefore, the civil servants who had previously opposed King Ning gradually turned their backs and became subordinates to King Ning.

On the streets of the capital, although teams of sergeants walked by neatly every day, the business of the streets began to recover gradually, the shops gradually opened, and the common people who had been hiding in the yards for many days also took advantage of the rare peace to come out to buy necessities for life .

However, the sergeants guarding the Chu family did not withdraw.

Chu Yunxi still sneaks out of the mansion these days. Pei Xiaoqing knows that he has a lot of things to do, and she doesn't know much about those power struggles, and she doesn't want to participate. Chu Yunxi just let her stay at home with peace of mind. do not worry.

But the neighbors next door have started to clean again, and there are signs of starting a new life. Why can't the sergeant guarding outside his house retreat?

It is said to be protection, but it is closely monitored. The Chu family is not allowed to go out casually, and the sergeants still provide shopping.
