Jinse pushed the plate back to her mother and muttered warily, "Why are you so close to Bu She? He's not your man! Mother, you have to have some integrity!"
"..."
The veins on the mature and beautiful princess' delicate forehead were almost popping out.
"Just now I complained about my bad attitude, and now you complain that I'm too nice? Whose girl is so mean?"
"From my mother's family~" Jinse smiled proudly, not realizing she was being insulted.
Chu Bushe accepted Princess Yu's kindness for the time being. She was willing to say so much to him and share her food with him as a favor to him.
How could Chu Bushe refuse to accept someone's smile?
He picked up the Jinse chopsticks, took a few bites of the food from Princess Yu's plate, and then didn't eat any more.
Princess Yu sweated too easily, and her neck was covered with fine hairs of sweat that slowly slid down her curves. Now, through her clothes, one could vaguely see the color of her snow-white skin.
Although it was pleasing to the eye, Chu Bu She didn't want to stay too long so as not to affect their next meeting.
He made an excuse to say goodbye, then stood up and left through the window.
The mother and daughter were the only ones left in the room again.
Princess Yu wanted to ask the maid to prepare a new copy, but this might reveal that Chu Bushe had come secretly. The news would probably reach Concubine Yin, and then it would become that she had frequent private contact with Chu Bushe.
Anyway, he only took two bites and used Jinse's chopsticks, so it's better to have less trouble than more.
Jinse saw her mother eating again and stared at her silently, which made Princess Yu feel uncomfortable all over. She thought there were rice grains on her face and she had lost her composure.
"Why are you staring at me?"
"Nothing, just take a look."
Jinse just stared without saying much, but she was surprised in her heart.
My mother actually had no objection at all to the food not being eaten before!
After Princess Yu finished her meal, Jinse asked seriously:
"Mother, how did you feel when Bu She pressed you against the closet door that day?"
This stinky girl, why do you always bring this up! If I had resisted at that time, wouldn't you have walked out of the closet?
Princess Yu did not look kindly at her daughter and said gloomily:
"I was very happy at that time. Are you satisfied with this?"
“?!” Jinse was shocked.
Chapter 35 Si Qingyun's Night Visit
Chu Bushe returned to the clinic with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
As soon as I opened the door and walked in, the white musk deer's long, slender red and pink tongue flickered out, and it was almost invisible.
This is her way of catching the scent.
Chu Bushe was smart enough not to lie down. This time, Jinse rubbed him so hard that there must be a lot of smell. If he lay directly on the bed, Baishe would probably be unhappy.
He sat down in front of the coffee table and couldn't wait to talk about the information he had just learned, especially Yi Yihan's identity.
"Bai Musk, why didn't I know before that there are people with this status in the Western Regions?"
Bai Musk had no plans to go out today, but she still wore a veil. Her seductive snake eyes were faintly visible between the totemic lace patterns.
This was enough to show how surprised she was at the moment. Normally, she would not open her eyes after putting on the veil.
“This is the first time I’ve heard of it, but it’s not surprising. The forces in the Western Regions are a mixed bag, and many people in the Great Zhou who have failed in struggles will flee there.
Besides, this Miss Yi is the owner of Yuhua Pavilion. I guess her mother's generation rarely shows up in public."
Chu Bushe really wanted to know the love, hate and emotions of the previous generation of the royal family, but unfortunately he could not get any such information at all, not even any "unofficial history" was available.
After all, talking nonsense will result in death.
"I feel like I'm in a bad situation right now. Yi Yihan seems to be treating me like a 'traitor' and is trying to get close to me."
Chu Bu She had only a little friendship with her, and after hearing this, their relationship might be severed and it would be the end from now on.
But if he doesn't say it, he can't change his goal as Chu Bushe and help her deal with Da Zhou just for the identity of a "friend", right?
They have only known each other for a short time, but when you really think about it, Chu Bu She is the one who owes her a favor.
Don't make it seem like he owes Yi Yihan anything.
Baishe said calmly without much personal emotion:
“Then explain it to her clearly, don’t leave any misunderstandings, and don’t change yourself because of others.
If friends can only come together because they have the same interests, it is nothing but kidnapping and exploitation. "
Chu Bu She listened to the woman's words very well, he exhaled, nodded and responded seriously:
"That makes sense. Then Bai Musk and I get along very well. It has been like this for so many years."
Friends, even relatives, are not enough to describe the relationship between the two.
After these words, there should have been an intimate hug, but Chu Bu She estimated that with the smell on him now, he would most likely not allow a hug.
"Bai Musk, I'm going to take a shower, but my hand is injured, cough cough!"
Chu Bu She tried his best to hint at it, but Bai She refused it coldly.
"Wash it yourself. I taught you."
"With one hand missing, I can't move it around, and it's hard to clean every corner."
"Wash yourself."
Bai Musk still didn't indulge him.
Just when Chu Bushe was about to take a bath dejectedly, there was a knock on the door.
Bai Musk said softly, "Stranger."
After Chu Bu She opened the door, he found a woman standing outside. She was about 1.65 meters tall, with a very well-proportioned figure, and her legs were particularly long.
But such an outstanding face and the cold and indifferent expression can make people afraid. Not to mention getting close to her, they are even afraid to approach her and say a few words.
If Yi Yihan's indifference was the alienation brought about by his noble temperament, then this woman who came unexpectedly was her indifference to human life, exuding an invisible aura of danger.
However, the prison order hanging around her waist indicated that this woman was from the Heavenly Prison.
Chu Buye habitually said:
"Are you here to see a doctor? The doctor at the clinic has temporarily left the capital, so you have to go to another clinic to get medicine."
"I don't want to see a doctor. I'm going to see His Royal Highness Prince Rong."
The woman spoke, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without a ripple, without any emotion at all.
Her voice is quite inconsistent with her temperament, it has a bit of babyish tone, which is quite contrasting.
And there is a bit of local accent.
"Are you from the Heavenly Prison? Are you here to ask for information about the person who died last night? What's your name?"
"Si Qingyun, I am not here as the warden of the Heavenly Prison, but I am here on behalf of Princess Yu to inform Your Highness of the next news about the returning Western Expedition Army."
Chu Bushe, who was still on guard in his heart, suddenly became surprised and frowned slightly.
She actually asked someone to find out what she had asked Princess Yu to do before, and she even asked someone from Tianyu to come and tell him directly.
Hmm...I guess this girl is also Concubine Yin's person?
Then the information she said is worth considering.
Chu Bushe calmed down his thoughts and asked calmly, "Shall we talk here, or somewhere else?"
Si Qingyun still had a stern face:
"It's all fine. I'm only responsible for conveying the message. Whether it's leaked or not is not within my consideration."
"Then come in, sit down and talk."
Chu Bushe invited her in. When Si Qingyun passed by, he noticed that the girl had a blood-red bell tied on both of her sleeves.
The bell would have rang normally if the air in it was not empty, but the girl did not make a slight sound until the bell touched the tabletop after she sat down at the coffee table.
The bell had not rang at all during the entire journey.
The pace of this woman Si Qingyun is so steady that it's frightening!
Chu Bushe thought he could do it deliberately, but he couldn't integrate it into his daily life because it was too tiring.
"Please have some tea. This tea is clean. Moisten your throat before you continue."
Chu Bushe poured a cup of tea as a sign of goodwill.
Si Qingyun took the tea, took a sip, glanced at Bai She sitting next to him, and went straight to business.
"The returning team returned from the Western Regions and was given a welcoming banquet at the Liaoyu Protectorate. The Protectorate General asked the returning team to go to the capital first to pay homage to Empress Tianwu.
But the returning team did not do so, and went directly back to Chu and Liang states, dispersing to various places to reunite with their families. "
Hearing this, Chu Bushe nodded.
He thought it was normal to skip the kowtow to Empress Tianwu, and it was indeed what the returning team would do.
They could have lived a more comfortable life in the Western Regions, but they traveled thousands of miles back to the Central Plains of the Great Zhou just to see their family and children. This was their motivation for returning.
However, after learning a lot of inside information, Chu Bushe realized that this decision was not a good one.
Going to the capital first to pay homage to Empress Tianwu is equivalent to an act of paying homage to the leader and pledging loyalty, which is really important.
In the court of the previous emperor, the rebellious nature of the Western Expedition Army was basically acknowledged, and they were viewed as expendable materials.
The throne in the Golden Palace has now changed its owner. If the returning team does not first pledge loyalty to the new emperor, problems will easily arise.
"and then?"
Chu Bushe asked, feeling a little uneasy.
"During those years, Empress Tianwu had not yet united the people, and there were many dissenting voices. Empress Tianwu did not blame them, but rewarded them according to the law based on their merits and opened up Liaoyuzhou as a reward.
But at that time, the owner of Chuliang Province had changed. The two younger brothers of the late emperor, King Dai and King Gao, took over the position of King of Chuliang and divided the two provinces into two parts. The reward did not fall into the hands of the returning team.
It is impossible for them to have it, because after the King of Dai and the King of Gao came to power, they took away the houses and fields of the families of the soldiers of the Western Expedition and merged them into their own fields, especially those families whose male members served in the army. "
Chu Bushe's heart sank.
If this is true, the safety of the hundreds of soldiers who returned home from the Western Expedition might be in danger.
Isn't Si Qingyun Concubine Yin's person? If she said so, then this information would be unfavorable to Concubine Yin.
King Degao and King Yuenan were the ones who subsequently inherited and fought for Liangzhou, which means they were the sons of King Dai or King Gao.
"Did you find out this from asking around, or did Concubine Yin ask you to say this?"
Chu Bushe was not judged by others. He looked directly into the woman's eyes with a calm expression, and his aura was no less cold than the other party's.
"It seems that the descendants of King Chuliang really can't recognize the accent of Chuzhou."
Her tone remained the same, but it was slightly mocking.
Seeing Chu Bu She's puzzled look, she said again:
"Your Highness, why do you think Princess Yu asked me to tell you this? Because I am probably also a descendant of the Western Expedition Army."
Chapter 36: Double Ninth Festival
Chu Bushe's understanding of Chu Liangzhou was indeed limited to the introduction in books and texts.
There were many aristocratic families there, with the Mi and Xiong families being the most prominent, and below them were the Qu, Zhong, Zuo, Zhuang, Shangguan and other families serving as ministers.
Chu Bushe took his hometown and fiefdom as his surname, but the King of Chuliang’s actual surname was Xiong.
These are all superficial understandings. Chu Bushe knows nothing about the culture of the local customs.
He doesn't even know what accents there are in the Great Zhou, so how can he tell which ones are from the Jingchu dialect?
Chu Bu She tapped lightly on the tea table with his fingertips and asked:
"Miss Si, who was your father in the Western Expedition Army? Maybe I know him..."
