Fast Transmigration: Embarrassed

Chapter 96 The Stunning Prince's Ugly Concubine (End)
Chu Ci glanced at the desperate and depressed Chu Rou, and was about to speak.Liu Shi suddenly stopped talking nonsense, but raised his arms and hugged Chu Rou back forcefully, but fixed his eyes on Chu Ci and asked: "If I exchange the prince's secret, can you let me go?" Our mother and daughter?"

Chu Ci looked at the two embarrassed women in front of him with complicated emotions, nodded slowly, and replied, "Okay!"

Mrs. Liu let out a breath slowly, and said, "Prince, he actually..."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh"

At this moment, two sharp arrows suddenly shot from a distance, pointing at Liu Shi and Chu Ci respectively.

Chu Ci reacted quickly, and with zero blessings, he dodged and retreated a few steps away.At the same time, Die Yi stood in front of Chu Ci, and Wu Da raised his sword to fly the arrow.Several guards surrounded Chu Ci, and the others flew in the direction of the arrow and chased after it.

However, Mrs. Liu was not so lucky, the arrow directly pierced her chest, and she fell to the ground without even crying out in pain.

"Mother!" Chu Rou screamed and rushed towards Liu Shi, with trembling hands, gently helped Liu Shi up, her voice was crying with fear: "Mother, how are you? Mother, don't scare your daughter! Hurry up!" Come here! Sister! Please, quickly ask the doctor, please save my mother!"

Dieyi stood next to Liu, took her pulse, then looked at Chu Ci and shook her head gently.

"Mother!" Chu Rou broke down completely, crying bitterly.

Chu Ci turned her back, no matter how many reincarnations she experienced, she still didn't like to experience this kind of scene.

"Miss Chu, when I arrived, the archer had already committed suicide." A guard came back and reported.

Chu Ci waved his hand to indicate that he understood.She turned to look at Chu Rou, who could no longer cry, and said calmly: "Sorry, she has passed away. People cannot be resurrected after death, so you should think about your future plans."

After a while, Chu Rou slowly raised her head, her eyes were lifeless, her whole body seemed to have lost her backbone, and she asked in confusion, "Me? What can I do?"

Chu Ci looked down at her: "Since your mother is gone, for the sake of your sincere repentance, I can let go of the past. You are still the gentle and elegant Miss Chu, and you will get married in two years. , all of your mother’s dowry will be given to you as a dowry.”

Chu Rou listened silently, her confused eyes gradually clearing up: "I know what I want to do, sister, please help me."

…………

In the 21st year of Qingfeng's reign, Prince Ji Jian sent people disguised as bandits to attack Yongning Temple. Liu, the wife of Chu Mingbo who was offering sacrifices to the temple, was shot to death by an arrow. King An's fiancée Chu Ci was seriously injured and her life was in danger.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the capital.King An and Chu Mingbo could not afford to kneel in front of the palace gate, and they must seek justice.The prince cried out for being wronged, Empress Lu burst into tears in front of the emperor, the current emperor was furious, and reprimanded King An for framing the prince without evidence and with ulterior motives.

An hour later, the complaints accusing the prince of abusing the boy to death were sent to the yamen, and countless copies were copied, scattered all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

At the same time, there were also poems and songs written by literary talents praying for Miss Chu, the "most talented woman in the capital", which were circulated everywhere, and there were many denunciations and resentments towards the prince.

Another hour later, Mrs. Yipin, who was in charge of the Charity Hall, came up with a booklet, and there was only one sentence in the booklet: Chu Ci once donated all the dowry left by his biological mother, Mrs. Liu, to the Charity Hall.

After Miss Chu returned home from Yongning Temple, she also donated all the dowry of her biological mother Xiao Liu to the Charity Hall to pray for her sister.

Everyone in the capital knows that this charity hall was specially set up by the former Empress Guo for the "widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick".The high-ranking wives in the capital donate money to adopt the elderly and poor, and provide them with food, medicine and clothing.

Qian Guo and Hou were frugal all their lives, but they still donated a large amount of private money to the charity hall every year, and other cities around the world followed suit.

Since Lu's conferment, he has never visited the Charity Hall in person, and even took money from the Charity Hall in private for himself.

Before dark, various deeds about Empress Guo's compassion and kindness gradually spread again.This time, it started with the people at the bottom, and there were still many small vendors and tabloids spreading the news, and it spread to other places along with the people who left the city.

The next morning, Qian Fangzhou, the Minister of the Ministry of War, turned up.Said that he received a secret letter last night that someone reported that a bank in the west of the city had harbored a group of bandits. He led people to search the bank overnight and found an armory underground.

The owner of the bank admitted that the behind-the-scenes owner of the bank was Prince Ji Jian, and these weapons were cast by the Prince and hidden there.

The emperor remained silent and said the matter would be discussed later.

Chu Xiang immediately came out and proposed to abolish the crown prince. Many courtiers seconded the proposal, and the emperor walked away on the spot.

Public opinion continued to ferment, and rumors about Empress Guo's benevolence, Empress Lu's slanderous political participation, Miss Chu's charity and literary talent, and the prince's cruelty and inhumanity were all mixed together and discussed in private.

And those literati and inkmen were not so polite. While praising and remembering Queen Guo, they wrote articles that satirized and cursed Queen Lu either implicitly or explicitly.

After the emperor arrested several literati who made the most trouble, and killed a speech officer with a cane.Several veteran ministers headed by Prime Minister Chu submitted a book together, asking to be resigned and return home.

In the entire capital city, within five days, complaints had developed.Chu Ci knew that the fire was still a little bit short, and she only needed another handful of firewood.

In early summer, a blizzard suddenly fell in the capital, and it continued to snow all day and all night, with no sign of stopping.The whole capital was immediately panicked, saying that this was because the current emperor favored the prince Empress Lu and acted contrary to the law, which angered God and was punished by the emperor.

Kneeling outside the palace gate was full of officials who begged for the abolition of Empress Lu and the prince, and the streets were full of people kneeling and praying for God to take back the punishment.

The next morning, the emperor issued an imperial edict to abolish Empress Lu and Crown Prince Ji Jian.He also obeyed the official's invitation and announced the imperial decree to the world: Empress Lu was demoted as Lu Meiren, and she was not allowed to step out of the cold palace for life.King Liang was canonized as the new prince, and the former prince Ji Jian was demoted to a commoner and confined to the prince's mansion.

Not long after the imperial edict was handed down, the "heavenly punishment" blizzard stopped, and the bright sunshine filled the snow-covered capital.

After Miss Chu was out of danger, she recovered from her illness for half a year. His Highness Prince An personally delivered gifts to her door every day.

In the spring of Qingfeng's 22nd year, Miss Chu, the "No. [-] talented woman in the capital", was married to His Royal Highness Wang An, who was the "No. [-] beautiful man" and "No. [-] infatuated".

At the end of the 23rd year of Qingfeng, Jinshang died, and it was said that he was located in Jiliang, the prince.

In the 24th year of Qingfeng, the new emperor ascended the throne, designated as the first year of Tiancong.

In the spring of the second year of Tiancong, Prince An and Concubine An left the capital and went all the way south to visit mountains and rivers.

In the fourth year of Tiancong, King An led his private soldiers to repel the Japanese pirates.

In the fifth year of Tiancong's reign, King An and his wife discovered an uninhabited island on the sea. They planted peach blossoms on it and named it "Peach Blossom Island".
