Chapter 29 The Princess of the Prison State

Chu Qingyu subconsciously hugged the beautiful woman back and patted her back gently.

The movement of raising her arm involved the wounds on her body that had been cracked by the whip, and Chu Qingyu couldn't help but grin.

Although this kind of pain is nothing to her, the pain is definitely there.

In a daze, Chu Qingyu felt that her memory was really confused?

Are you in a dream at this moment, or is the reality you think is just a dream?

I wonder if Zhou’s dream is Hu Dieyu? Hu Die’s dream is Zhou Yu?

This sentence subconsciously appeared in Chu Qingyu's mind, but she didn't know where she heard it.

The next time was spent in Chu Qingyu's cultivation and recovery, and Chu Qingyu also learned about her life experience.

She was originally a princess of the Chu Dynasty and was deeply loved by her father, the emperor, and her mother. However, she unexpectedly encountered an assassin when she went to a temple with her brother to pray for blessings when she was young. The brother was assassinated and died on the spot, and she also mysteriously disappeared during the assassination.

The memory after that was a little blurry. According to the information investigated by the father, the assassin attacked the emperor's brother, but for some reason did not kill her. Instead, he took her away, trained her carefully, and sent her to sneak into the palace.

The purpose is not to assassinate, but to find clues to the palace treasure house.

And her father received the tip early and sent people to ambush secretly around the treasure house in advance, just waiting for the assassin to fall into the net.

But they never thought that it was not the assassin who came, but their daughter who had been missing for many years.

Chu Qingyu was in a daze for a while. No wonder she felt familiar and knew how to enter the treasure house. It turned out that... it was because she had lived in the palace since she was a child, so she was very familiar with this place?

The next thing happened naturally, the princess returned, the emperor was overjoyed and announced a general amnesty to the world.

After Chu Qingyu regained her identity, all kinds of flattery came one after another, and countless people came to visit her.

Chu Qingyu was happy to be quiet, so she announced that she was ill and closed the door to thank guests.

The emperor and empress felt deeply guilty for what had happened to their daughter, and sent countless gold and silver treasures and various supplements to the princess's house. They even sent dozens of handsome attendants to dance swords and entertain her every day.

Although Chu Qingyu still has all kinds of doubts about her situation, the life now is more comfortable for her. Chu Qingyu is also so happy that she doesn't think about anything. She drinks wine and admires flowers every day, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

But the good times did not last long, and news suddenly came from the palace that the emperor was critically ill.

A few days later, the emperor passed away. The queen was so grief-stricken that she also went with the emperor.

During the period of mourning for her parents, Chu Qingyu felt that the death of her parents was strange, so she secretly investigated the truth behind their deaths.

At the same time, because the emperor died suddenly, the emperor's eldest son was assassinated early in his life, and the younger prince was too young to shoulder the important responsibilities of the emperor, there was a sudden undercurrent in the court.

The emperor had very few concubines in his harem and only had two sons and three daughters. Among them, the queen gave birth to a son and a daughter for him.

Among the three princesses, except Chu Qingyu, one died at an early age and the other was still in infancy.

The eldest son of the emperor is the daughter of the empress. The elder brother of Chu Qingyu's mother was assassinated on the way to pray for blessings a few years ago. The other prince was born to Concubine Shu. After the eldest son of the emperor was assassinated, he was adopted into the lap of the empress.

Now he is only in his prime years.

The position of crown prince was supposed to be inherited by the eldest son of the queen, but the eldest son was assassinated. Before his death, the emperor named the second prince Chu Zhengming as the crown prince and inherited the throne.

The prince is young, how can a teenager handle the affairs of the state?

Moreover, the prince's biological mother was weak in the court, and he himself was not the queen's biological child, so the power on the queen's side could not be used by him. As a result, three months after the emperor's death, the ministers in the court pushed each other and the prince still failed to sit on the throne.

Even people from the queen's party have shouted the slogan that the eldest princess should supervise the country.

After three months, Chu Qingyu also found clues.

The queen's mother did indeed die out of anger, but her father did not die of illness, but of a chronic poison called Ji Chong Powder.

However, the clues ended here. Chu Qingyu sent people to continue the investigation while starting to deal with matters in the court.

The central government's calls for her to supervise the country became louder and louder, and Chu Qingyu also began to be involved in government affairs during this time.

As she gradually accepted things in the court, everyone in the court finally compromised with each other and supported Chu Zhengming in ascending to Dabao.

Chu Qingyu, as the eldest princess, supervises state affairs.

In terms of political affairs, she was surprisingly handy in handling political affairs. She occasionally had surprising ideas in her mind. She didn't know where they came from, but she made improvements and implemented them one by one based on the current situation of the Chu Dynasty.

Pay business taxes, sell corvee services, build schools, and develop maritime industries.

Government orders beneficial to the people's livelihood were issued from her hands, and corrupt officials were investigated, punished and had their homes confiscated.

For a moment, everyone in the court was shocked by the eldest princess's skill.

Some people even speculated whether Chu would usher in the first female emperor in history. Even the young emperor Chu Zhengming was worried that he would be deposed at any time. When facing Chu Qingyu, he worked diligently and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Sitting behind the beaded curtain every day, Chu Qingyu's power became more and more profound.

After teaching the little emperor his studies for another day, Chu Qingyu was preparing to return to the palace to rest when an arrow broke through the window and stuck on the pillar with a clang, while the tail wing continued to buzz.

After swatting away the hurried eunuchs, Chu Qingyu pulled out the arrow and saw the small note tied to it.

"If you don't kill the young emperor now and try to seize the throne, how long will it take?"

Looking at the familiar handwriting on it, Chu Qingyu frowned.

Her first reaction was the news from her mother's forces. Her grandfather had advised her many times that she was now in great power, and it was a good time to abolish the old emperor and establish a new emperor.

She has single-handedly controlled the court, and the people have praised her a lot. If she seizes the throne at this time, no one will dare to stand up and oppose her.

It was just her grandpa's instigation. After she avoided talking to her many times, her grandpa gradually stopped talking to her.

Therefore, when she received the letter, her first reaction was that her grandfather was unwilling and had renewed ambitions.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt something was wrong.

If it were Grandpa and the others, they could just send someone directly to the palace to spread the message, so why bother doing it multiple times.

After carefully reading the handwriting on the note several times, a memory suddenly appeared in Chu Qingyu's mind.

That was the conversation she had with a man in black before entering the palace.

"This trip is not for anything else, just to recognize my relatives."

"What happens after you recognize your marriage?"

"After acknowledging my marriage? I want this great Chu Dynasty."

"yes."

"Haha, when I take over the Chu Dynasty, Xiao Yu'er, you should be the first to take credit."

Unfamiliar memories hit her consciousness. Chu Qingyu covered her head and squatted on the ground. She shouted back and wanted to step forward to check on the eunuch and maidservant for her.

That’s it, that’s it!

Everything is fully understood.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Chu Qingyu raised her head and let out a suppressed and sad laugh in the hall.

It turns out that the person she was looking for, the culprit who murdered her parents, was herself?
