Chapter 133(1/2)
Mrs. Chu looked displeased at Princess Yu'an's frizzy appearance, which was inappropriate.
"Mother, the capital is about to be in chaos. The emperor's power in the south is weak and cannot resist external forces. Therefore, I suggest that the Chu family join forces with the Prime Minister's Mansion." Princess Yu'an said anxiously.
Mrs. Chu was still confused when she heard this: "What nonsense? What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning!"
"Mother, the Prime Minister is going to rebel. The capital is now full of troops..."
At this moment, Mrs. Chu finally came to her senses and her face changed slightly.
"The power of the Nanduan Kingdom is divided into pieces. The General's Office should have made plans in advance. I can write a letter to my father, the Queen and my Queen, and the Yunlan Congress will accommodate us."
Princess Yu'an's eyes shone with excitement. She was happy just thinking that Nan Duan Kingdom would soon change hands.
Without the emperor's support, she wanted to see what Chu Yunning would do!
"Mother!" Ms. Lin hurried over and shouted: "Don't listen to her nonsense. The world is still unclear and the Chu family cannot act rashly."
"Mr. Lin, don't you want Chu Zhenzhen from the Jokhang Temple to come back? If it weren't for the Southern Emperor, how could she, a young woman, be sent to the Jokhang Temple to live a lonely life?"
Princess Yu'an couldn't understand why she didn't cherish such a good opportunity for development when she was right in front of her.
Mrs. Lin walked closer to the room step by step, looking at the other person: "Although I feel sorry for my daughter, I still have blood in my heart. The Chu family has been loyal to the emperor for generations. If we rebel, we will be beaten by others in Yunlan Kingdom.
, that’s called life worse than death.”
Mrs. Lin is not stupid and will not be deceived by Princess Yu'an's words.
Since ancient times, rebellious officials and traitors have never had a good end.
What's more, she is betting on the entire Chu family. If the Chu family and Chu Zhenzhen are compared together, she will choose the Chu family without hesitation.
Princess Yu'an frowned: "What are you afraid of when the princess is here? When the time comes, I will ask my father to grant you titles of marquis and prime ministership..."
"That's enough!" Even Mrs. Chu couldn't bear to hear these words.
No one wants to leave their homeland to live in a new place.
Mrs. Chu raised her eyelids slightly and smiled sarcastically: "In the south, our whole family would look at your face. But when you go to Yunlan, the Chu family is worse than a beast."
Princess Yu'an has not greeted her since she got married, not even in the morning or evening.
Even for reunion dinners, Princess Yu'an rarely came.
Most of the time he came to visit her, an old woman, because he complained to her and asked her to use her filial piety to suppress General Chu from consummating the marriage with her.
Madam Chu regretted it. Ever since the princess came in, her son had become estranged from her. Every time he came to greet her, he would always be far away from her. He would call his mother and then leave, unwilling to stay for a moment longer.
"Mother!" Princess Yu'an said patiently, "If you stay here, the Chu family will not end well, and the Prime Minister's Office will not spare the Chu family."
"Bah!" Before Madam Chu could speak, Mrs. Lin pouted and said angrily: "I don't believe that he, a little prime minister, can cause such trouble. The Chu family can still be suppressed by him.
Down?"
Lin is very confident in the strength of her eldest brother. The ancestors of the Chu family are military generals, especially this generation. General Chu has led the army for many years, holding hundreds of thousands of troops. He is invincible and makes the enemy frightened. For so many years, the Chu family has always been
praised by others.
If the Chu family participated in the rebellion this time, the Lin family would not have the shame to meet their ancestors, and all the descendants of the Chu family would be criticized.
"What do you know? The Southern Emperor has long been afraid of the Chu family. Sooner or later, the entire Chu family will be raided and executed."
Hearing that something was wrong, Mrs. Lin grabbed Princess Yu'an's clothes and suddenly asked: "Did you do something?"
Princess Yu'an sneered: "There are some things that are beyond your control. The Chu family is destined to rebel."
Mrs. Lin was frightened and turned to look at Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu looked hesitant and fell down on her chair: "Is the Chu family really going to change?"
"The Chu family has no other choice. We must leave the capital and leave the south end, otherwise..." Princess Yu'an looked proud and her tone was full of threats: "Mother, we are a family after all.
My father, the emperor, and my mother will never treat you badly. The Emperor Nanduan has a suspicious character. The Chu family will never be able to return to the past. It is better to be aware of current affairs."
Princess Yu'an looked slightly moved when she saw Mrs. Chu, and said even more eagerly: "I am the only daughter of my mother's queen. My brother is the future emperor of Yunlan Kingdom. They all love me very much. I will beg my father to help me."
Give me a fiefdom, and we will all fief the land when the time comes."
Princess Yu'an has already thought about it. When she returns to Yunlan Kingdom, she will eradicate all the Chu family without leaving any one behind, which will directly save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
When the time comes, if General Chu is obedient, she will stay with him; if not, he will be imprisoned.
Mrs. Chu swallowed her throat and glanced at Mrs. Lin anxiously: "Second daughter-in-law."
After serving Mrs. Chu for more than ten years, Lin knew the nature of urine when she opened her mouth and looked at her.
He must have been convinced by Princess Yu'an.
Mrs. Lin could not wait to cut open Mrs. Chu's head to see what was inside!
"Mother, no!"
"Shut up!" Princess Yu'an glared at Mrs. Lin fiercely and sneered: "When I first came here, I brought two thousand elite dowries with me. As long as I give the order, the Chu family will not be able to escape. No matter how powerful the general is,
If there are no soldiers and horses in front of you, it will be in vain if water from afar cannot save the fire near you."
Princess Yu'an lost her scruples and her eyes exuded pride: "Everyone in the Chu family must obey my orders, otherwise, no one can save the Chu family."
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or false.
"Yu'an, if we...if we go to Yunlan Country, can we really be treated favorably?"
Mrs. Chu is very old and is very afraid of death. In the face of life and death, no appearance or dignity matters.
As long as I can stay alive.
Princess Yu'an nodded: "Of course, I have married into the Chu family, and I am the wife of the Chu family, so I will naturally turn to you."
Mrs. Chu immediately looked at Mrs. Lin, who shook her head: "Mom, don't listen to her. It's thousands of miles from here to Yunlan. It's a bumpy road. Maybe we'll die on the way. Two thousand elites can't be counted in the capital."
It’s nothing, maybe we can’t even get out of the palace gate.”
For this reason, Princess Yu'an simply stopped hiding it and raised her hand to hit Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin took two steps back to avoid it and looked at Princess Yu'an warily.
"I'll try my best to persuade you, but don't be disrespectful!" Princess Yu'an raised her chin: "I have sent a letter of cooperation to the Prime Minister in the name of the Chu family. Once the Prime Minister succeeds, he will let us leave. I am the Princess of Yunlan Kingdom, Prime Minister
If you don’t dare to offend Yunlan, you can only let us go, do you understand?”
Mrs. Lin didn't believe it. That despicable man, the Prime Minister, might be able to let the princess go, but he would never let the Chu family go.
Especially for General Chu, it was like letting the tiger return to the mountain.
"Second daughter-in-law, you are right."
After Mrs. Chu thought about it carefully, the last thing she couldn't let go of was the wealth in front of her. She had to make sure that Princess Yu'an could have the treatment she had today after going to Yunlan Country.
Princess Yu'an swore her promise, but Mrs. Lin didn't believe a word of it.
When I went to Yunlan Country, I didn’t even know why I died.
At this moment, the boy outside ran in a panic and said: "Old madam, it's not good, there is chaos outside, the whole capital is in chaos, there are many officers and soldiers on the street."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chu's face became even more embarrassed.
"Well, what I said is right. The Prime Minister has been an official for decades, and his influence has spread all over the country. A mere capital city cannot contain him. What's more, there are many people who are thinking about the cooperation between King Huai and outside.
The emperor pulled him down from that position."
When Princess Yu'an thought of the humiliation she had suffered before, she couldn't help but be angry. No matter who wanted to drag down the Southern Emperor, she would support him unconditionally.
Mrs. Chu's heart was clenched and her lips were trembling as she looked at Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin turned her head and said, "It doesn't matter what my mother says about this matter. Even if I die, I will die in the Chu family without anyone poking my back."
Ms. Lin was so disappointed. She thought Mrs. Chu had a bad temper and loved to torment people, but she never thought she could handle it so clearly.
I don't want to think about future generations. Once they leave the capital, all the juniors of the Chu family will be like rats crossing the street, and everyone will insult them.
Rather than living like this, it would be better to die and be done with it.
Mrs. Chu scolded angrily: "You bastard, what do you know? Your Majesty, he has not accumulated much strength over the years. I can't just watch the Chu family become extinct. I am doing this for the sake of the Chu family. You will understand in the future."
He turned to the maid and ordered: "Go to the warehouse and prepare everything that is valuable and easy to get."
"yes."
Lin closed her eyes, so disappointed.
"Mother, I will definitely honor you in the future." Princess Yu'an hugged Mrs. Chu's arm affectionately and said a lot of words of assurance.
Mrs. Chu was so coaxed that she beamed and praised Princess Yu'an for being sensible.
At this moment, Mrs. Lin finally understood why Chu Yunning tried so hard to separate the family from Dafang.
If she had known earlier, Mrs. Lin might as well have returned to her parents' home with her children.
Why should we be greedy for the prosperity of the capital? Now our daughter has been sent to the Jokhang Temple and will never see her again for a year. Her son is doing nothing, living outside all day long under the name of the young master of General Chu's mansion.
"As for you..." Princess Yu'an turned her eyes and looked at Mrs. Lin, with a sneer in her eyes.
"I won't bother the princess. I won't leave the Chu family or the capital."
After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she was about to leave when two maids suddenly stopped her.
