The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 9

Now that Sheng Jia had left and the dinner was almost coming to an end, the atmosphere in Qingde Hall was quite relaxed, and the guests also began to toast each other in a relaxed manner.Here Song Chen was planning to take Chu Xue away after a while, when he saw King Shen waving over with a wine glass.

"Third brother, I haven't congratulated you yet on your wedding, come, fifth brother toasts you today."

King Shen seemed to be in good shape, but he was full of alcohol, and he was indeed drunk when he heard the words.As usual, Song Chen must be too lazy to talk to him, but today was his father's birthday banquet and all the officials were present, so Song Chen followed King Shen's wishes and had a drink with him.

Unexpectedly, after drinking a glass, he raised the wine glass to Chu Xue again, looked at her greedily and unscrupulously with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile: "Come on, third sister-in-law, let's have a drink too."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, how can I bear your honorable title." Chu Xue was shocked, and immediately took a step back, hiding behind Song Chen.

As far as King Shen is concerned, his third sister-in-law should be Xu Jinhe who is guarding his son in Prince Heng's mansion at this time. It is indeed a big drunken word for him to call Chu Xue, the side concubine, like this.

"Ji Lun, you're drunk." Song Chen frowned with displeasure on his face, and his voice sank.

"My lord, you drank too much, let's go home." Princess Shen hurried up to help her.

"This king didn't drink too much, this king is very sober!" He threw off Princess Shen and continued to look at Chu Xue, "Dare to ask my sister-in-law, do you still have sisters, sisters..."

They all have big tongues.

Just as Chu Xue was about to shake her head, she heard the prince not far away raised her voice to stop it for some unknown reason, "Fifth, what occasion is this, be careful!"

Thanks to the high-pitched voice of the prince, everyone in the hall turned their attention to them.

"Where are the people of Prince Shen's mansion, hurry up and help the master down." Song Chen called out to the outside of the hall in a deep voice, showing the majesty of the prince in his words.

Several guards rushed into the hall and carried King Shen out.

The perpetrator left, and all eyes in the hall naturally fell on King Heng and Chu Xue who lowered his head slightly.

Chu Xue could feel the gaze of the person she had just watched from across the diagonal, and paused on her body.

She frowned slightly, but didn't look up.

She looks very much like her real mother, her aunt in name, another daughter of the Chu family, Chu Rong.She is very clear.

And the person opposite probably still remembers that face.

After this little episode, it was time to return home, Song Chen nodded slightly towards the hall, and walked out of Qingde Hall with Chu Xue.

And behind them, there was definitely more than one person who was surprised in his life.

General Qin Mu fell into deep thought after noticing Chu Xue's appearance.

No matter how lazy to deal with the affairs in Qingde Palace, Song Chen and Chu Xue got into their own carriage and walked out of the palace gate leisurely.

Probably because he was happy, Song Chen also drank a few more glasses of wine tonight, and he could smell the faint smell of alcohol when sitting beside him.The car drove forward for a while, but he still didn't speak. Chu Xue didn't think about what she saw during the banquet, and looked at him slightly sideways. Seeing that he was looking ahead without showing any anger, she coughed softly, "Wait back Mansion, this concubine will accompany the prince to see the prince."

"It's nothing at all, boys don't need to be so spoiled."

His voice was light, but he still didn't look sideways.

It seems that he has never been so indifferent to himself before. Could it be that he blamed himself because of what happened just now?She paused in her heart, and cautiously probed, "Is the prince angry about what happened just now?"

When she asked this sentence, Song Chenfang slowly turned his head, raised her chin lightly, looked at her for a moment and said, "I'm a little angry, how does Xue'er plan to compensate the king?"

There was still no emotion on his face, but his voice was not cold.

Chu Xue bent the corner of her mouth, but deliberately brought out some grievances, "It's not the concubine's fault..."

Suddenly, he suddenly brought her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Why is it not your fault, who made you so beautiful?"

The voice was weak, soft like her warm body at this moment.

He was hooked even worse, leaned over and pressed her on the couch, forcefully tore off all the layers of skirts, and lowered his head to cherish her.

There was a chill on his chest, followed by the warmth he was familiar with, and Chu Xue suddenly lost a bit of strength. She originally planned to accompany him to see Song Chi after returning home tonight, so as to ease Xu Jinhe's dissatisfaction, but Right now... not to mention that the clothes will be creased, and the bun is already messed up, but why go to Danwei Garden?
She suppressed the tender voice that was about to burst out of her throat, and wanted to hug his head, "My lord, my lord is really coming home soon, can you bear with it?"

But his body was already on fire, and he couldn't help but tie her hands on top of her head. Before he moved his mouth, the other hand was already going to pull her skirt.She was desperate, but she had no choice but to resist. Although it was only natural to serve him, she really didn't want to be in this carriage...

Seeing that the skirt was about to be torn off, the carriage suddenly stopped shaking, and Gao Li's voice sounded outside the carriage, "My lord, we have arrived at the palace."

He stopped short.

Chu Xue heaved a sigh of relief, followed by a smile, and was waiting for him to get up, but heard him order out of the car in a hoarse voice, "Go to Wantang Court."

The carriage moved forward, then swayed again.

He pushed her hard, and whispered in her ear: "What are you laughing at, I'll see how you laugh later."

Even through the thick clothes in the autumn night, Chu Xue still clearly felt his power, and when she thought about the coming scene, she immediately blushed.

Although Heng Wang's mansion is big, the carriage is still very fast, but after a while, she was finally able to get up and close her skirt, and before she could manage her loose long hair, she was hugged directly by him.

The maidservants of Wantang Court had already been waiting in the courtyard. Seeing that the disheveled master was directly carried into the house by the prince, they all thoughtfully stopped following and closed the door intimately.

With her own appearance, it was obvious that Chu Xue was extremely annoyed and ashamed by him just now... How could she face the servants of the palace in the future?

Under the bright lights, the beauty who was hastily placed on the bed was like a coquettish flower, its thick petals shyly blooming in full bloom, all enchanting.

Rain, dew and rain, rest only in the middle of the night.

Outside the door, Yanling and Ruyue looked at each other and sighed silently.

Although it is gratifying that the young lady is favored like this, the child-avoiding medicine that was taken only three days ago will be taken again tomorrow.

Danwei Court.

After listening to Ding Xiang's report, Princess Heng Xu Jinhe felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave in the twelfth lunar month.

This woman had completely taken away her husband in such a short period of time.

She took her place as princess and accompanied him to the palace banquet. After she returned to the mansion with all the limelight, Song Chen went to Wantang Garden without even getting out of the car, and even carried her into the palace in front of his servants. I heard that his clothes were disheveled and his hair was disheveled... He didn't care about his sick eldest son at all, let alone himself as his regular wife.

The three women in the palace in the past are not as good as the current Chu Xue who can make Song Chen so out of proportion. If she continues to indulge, once she gives birth to an heir one day, her position as wife and Chi'er's position as the son of the world will be doubled. Threatened, not to mention Song Chen's possible great career in the future...

Sure enough, I couldn't be more tolerant.

Xu Jinhe closed his eyes and let out a long breath.Ding Xiang saw that her master's face was so ugly that she didn't dare to vent her anger, but this loyal servant thought it over and remonstrated: "Princess, you indulged her too much a few days ago."

"Go back to Yanzhou in five days, and start from the beginning." Xu Jinhe said every word, with a hostility in his eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time.

This is in the capital city, where there is Concubine Jing and Chu Xue's natal family. When she arrives in Yanzhou, she is the real mistress.Dealing with Chu Xue may take a little more effort, but it doesn't matter, she has a lot of power and methods.

On the second day, he was still resting and taking advantage of the last day of vacation, Qin Mu, who had never been to the gate of Chu Mansion since he came to the capital, walked into Chu Lin's reception room rarely.

In fact, the relationship between Chu Lin and Qin Mu was not as stranger as it was later. They had a mutual friend or relative, Yue Lan.Yue Lan is Chu Lin's sister-in-law, and Qin Mu's elder brother who has been worshiped countless times in life and death on the battlefield. The three friends of Guan Baozhi are officials in the same dynasty, one is in the literature, and the other is in the military. They both serve the court and serve the country. Zhongzhong, Yue and Qin would often come to Chu Lin's mansion to pay respects when they returned to Beijing to report on their duties.

However, until eight years ago, after the Yue family's Yingyue murder happened, Qin Mu and Chu Lin had no contact with each other.

Both of them understood that the Yue family was burdened with great grievances, but Qin Mu cared very much about Chu Lin's inaction. He tried his best to reverse the case for the Yue family, but he was just a warrior. But it's just a false name.But Chu Lin is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is a civil servant, he has the right to write a letter, why didn't he do it?

For a long time, Qin Mu blamed Chu Lin's inaction on the Yingyue murder case to his hypocrisy and cowardice as a literati, and to his desire to get rid of his in-law relationship with Yue Lan and to protect himself.

Therefore, since he was transferred back by the imperial court and his family moved back to the capital, Qin Mu never went to Chu Lin's house again, and even turned a blind eye to the court meeting that the two of them had to go to every day.

Chu Lin, Yue Lan and Qin Mu, the former Iron Triangle died and broke up, I don't know who is in the right mood.

Qin Mu, who originally planned to never go to the gate of the Chu family again, changed his mind after seeing Chu Xue's appearance at the palace banquet last night. Since last night, a mystery has arisen in his heart, and this question can only be solved by Chu Lin .

The tea mist in front of him was faint, and when the door was closed, the two of them were left alone in the reception room, Qin Mu cut straight to the point, "I came to disturb Mr. Governor Yushi today because I have a question in my mind." He paused, looked Looking into the eyes of the person in front of him, he tentatively said: "Please forgive Qin for being impolite, but I dare to ask my lord, is Ling Qianjin who married into Hengwang's mansion really your own flesh and blood?"

Chu Lin's eyes froze slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.

Chu Lin's reaction was beyond Qin Mu's expectation. Qin Mu originally thought that Chu Lin would deny his guess. If so, Qin Mu planned to ask why Chu Xue and his sister-in-law Chu Rong are so similar, but Chu Lin's current reaction made Qin Mu save himself. said this sentence.Qin Mu was [-]% certain in his heart, so he lowered his voice and made a bold guess: "Could it be... it's really Wenwen?"

After being silent for a while, Chu Linfang sighed softly, nodded, and finally admitted the fact that only his family of four and a few close servants knew about it, "Exactly."

Hearing this, Qin Mu was shocked and determined, and immediately got up from his seat, bent his knees, and knelt down to Chu Lin in front of him.

A strong general, a man in his late forties, who has kneeled before a monarch, and kneeled before his parents, but other than that, he has never kneeled before anyone else.Now, he is kneeling in front of the person whom he looked down upon very much in the past, just because the other party has left a blood for his eldest brother.

"My lord is so kind and virtuous, Qin will never forget it! I can't repay you right now, please accept my worship!"

Seeing Qin Mu making this great gift, Chu Lin hurriedly got up to help him, "General, you don't have to kneel to me. Wenwen is also the only blood of my sister in this world. It's just human nature for Chu to do this. I really can't afford your big gift." !"

Having said that, Qin Mu can imagine how much effort it would take to bring up the orphan of a treason criminal on the charge of bullying the emperor in the crowded capital.He knelt in front of Chu Lin and refused to get up, full of remorse, "Qin is really a rough person, in the past, in the past, he wrongly blamed the adults, and was very rude to you, I hope the adults will forgive me."

Clank and iron man, his eyes turned red after speaking.

Chu Lin understood what he meant.

Because of that bloody case, for so many years, he has endured all kinds of eyes in the world, some from Qin Mu's contempt for his inaction, some from the current emperor's satisfaction with his silence, and even more There were those from the Xu family who laughed at their forbearance.

But what can he do?
It is not a day to be an official. When he first heard about the Yingyue bloody case, he was of course furious, heartbroken and unwilling. That was his own sister. His nephew Yue Zhicai was just a teenager, and his sister Chu Rong had an unborn child in her belly. Even if Xu Jilin hated his younger sister-in-law Yue Lan's military exploits, he was so ruthless that even any old and weak women and children in the Yue family would not let go. If Wenwen hadn't escaped by chance and was sent to his residence in the capital, the Yue family would Completely wiped out traces.

And all of this, if there is no intentional protection of the emperor, how can he easily stay out of it with only the position of marquis of the Xu family?Only relying on the evidence forged by Xu, the Ministry of War can successfully conclude the coffin?

After the initial anger passed, Chu Lin quickly figured out that Yue Langong Gao Zhen had a heavy army in his hands, which was the main reason for his family's destruction.And as long as the current emperor is in power, the Yue family's grievances will never be washed away.

Therefore, for eight years, he could only endure and put the old things behind him.

But how can it be put in the back of your mind?As Wenwen grows up day by day, the stunning face that looks more and more like her mother's keeps reminding him that until the truth of the Yingyue murder is revealed, he will never be able to face his sister and sister under the nine springs. Sister-in-law.

"Since Wenwen is the daughter of Ling, where is your real daughter now?"

Qin Mu's question brought Chu Lin back to his senses, and with a sigh, Chu Lin finally confessed the incident eight years ago.
