Rebirth of the Return of Chu

The birthday banquet had a slightly different flavor due to the appearance of the eldest prince Li Wenyu, especially since Concubine Wang was obviously not as happy as she was at the beginning.

After the birthday banquet, the Crown Princess came over to Mu Chu and paused, "Sister, long time no see. I have something to tell you. Can you go back with me?"

Mu Chu was still hesitating. He had a hunch that it was not a good thing. The two of them were not familiar with each other to begin with, and the sudden invitation must have had ulterior motives.

So he refused directly: "Crown Princess, it's getting late. I should go back with the old lady. I will visit you another day."

The Crown Princess looked thoughtful and whispered in Mu Chu's ear: "What I want to say is related to my father. You'd better follow me. This is not the place to talk."

Mu Chu looked up in surprise: "But the old lady will call me when she leaves."

The Crown Princess shook her head: "It doesn't matter, she will go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace, I will send someone to inform her later."

In order to find out about his father, Mu Chu had no choice but to grit his teeth and take a gamble.

He followed the Crown Princess to the Eastern Palace. When he entered her palace, the servants all bowed to him, but the Crown Prince was nowhere to be seen. Mu Chu was a little confused.

The Crown Princess shook her head helplessly and asked her maid Qiuyue to serve tea. Dongmei was the only one left, so she raised her chin slightly to signal Dongmei, and Dongmei went to close the door and stand at the door.

Xiao Tao saw her close the door and immediately realized that she was standing in front of Mu Chu: "What is the Crown Princess going to do? My young lady entered the palace at the behest of General Qin."

The Crown Princess was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your young lady."

Mu Chu tugged at Xiao Tao's sleeve and said, "Xiao Tao, don't be nervous. The Crown Princess has something to say."

Qin Muyun put away his expression and said seriously: "Sister, there is something strange about father's death."

Mu Chu looked at her in disbelief, but didn't dare to show that he knew, fearing that it was a trap, so he pretended to be shocked: "What did you say? Didn't father die in battle?"

Qin Muyun shook his head and said with a sad expression: "I thought so at first. One day, just after the morning court, the prince's condition suddenly worsened, and I hurried to find the emperor. As a result, I saw my uncle on the road. I looked behind and heard him talking about my father's death with another adult. He said that it was fortunately the letter that tricked my father away."

Mu Chu asked anxiously: "Did you see clearly who that adult was? And what was the content of the letter?"

Qin Muyun shook his head: "I didn't dare to get too close, I was afraid that my uncle would find me, and I didn't dare to run around in the palace. Thinking about the prince's matter, I went to find the emperor."

Mu Chu thought that what she said was roughly consistent with what he had learned before, so it seemed that she did not lie. The only thing that was certain was that it was not only the Wang family that wanted to kill the Qin family.

While thinking, Qin Muyun spoke again: "Sister, I envy you very much. Since you were a child, my father has protected you very well and never let us have any contact with you. This was even more so after your mother died, so we are also very unfamiliar with each other.

Since I was a child, I have never been liked by my mother because I am a girl. My mother is only good to my eldest brother and always puts him first in everything. Even my marriage is just a sacrifice for my eldest brother.

I thought I could escape this fate by marrying the prince, but something happened to the prince after the engagement. It turned out that the prince still had a chance to recover. My grandmother and mother treated me very well.

Later, after my father died, the prince suddenly fell ill and the imperial physician said he would not wake up. My mother and grandmother rarely interacted with me.

It is obvious that they are choosing a new support. My mother often goes to the Imperial Concubine's palace. Now there is no Queen in the harem, and the Imperial Concubine holds the Queen's seal. The Third Prince is deeply trusted by the Emperor. I think they have already made their choice.

The prince will definitely not wake up now, and my life is ruined."

As Qin Muyun spoke, tears began to flow.

Mu Chu felt a little soft-hearted and tried to comfort him, "Don't be sad, Crown Princess. Just tell me these words, but don't dare to tell anyone else. As long as the Crown Prince's affairs are not settled, you can't make any rash comments."

Qin Muyun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes helplessly, sniffed again, and tried to pretend that nothing had happened: "Sister, I know we are not close, but now there are not many people I can count on. I know you care about your father's death, and I care about it too, but I care more about my freedom.

I saw how you looked in front of the emperor today. With your talent and looks, it is not difficult for you to enter the palace. Today I also saw that the third prince treats you differently. Mother once said that we have a daughter in our family who has the fate of a phoenix. Since it is not me now, it can only be you in the future.

If it is really possible one day, I hope my sister can help me leave the palace and go out to see the world. You don't know how much I envy you and uncle's days out there all these years.

I am still a virgin, and I don't want to be trapped in this palace for the rest of my life."

Mu Chu listened to her words, every word was true, and he felt a little sympathetic towards her. He thought she got what she wanted, but he didn't expect her situation to be so difficult. He inexplicably wanted to help her, so he replied: "Okay, I promise you, I will help you in the future."
