Chapter 247 Things Exposed

Northern Kingdom, Chu family.

In the evening, the red sunset shines on the world, and the red light spreads to the earth like blood.

Chu Xiong was sitting in the courtyard, tasting the high-strength liquor brewed by Beiwangfu, while checking the recently collected information about the Chu family in Jiangnan.

Although he had brought part of the Chu family to seek refuge with his grandson, he still couldn't let go of the Chu family in Jiangnan. After all, his unfilial son was still in Jiangnan.

Seeing that the intelligence mentioned that the rebels were retreating steadily in the face of the imperial army, Chu Xiong couldn't help but sigh. He had guessed such a result from the beginning.

Although the Jiangnan family has powerful weapons such as the Cloud-Piercing Bow and Cloud-piercing Arrow, the imperial court is stronger after all, and it was Emperor Xia who forced the Jiangnan Family to rebel. Since he dared to force the Jiangnan Family to rebel, it proves that Emperor Xia has done After preparing to clean up the Jiangnan family, Lu Shuyun wanted to seize the throne. How could it be so easy?

Just when Chu Xiong was sighing, a servant entered the courtyard and said, "Master, there are guards looking for you."

Hearing this, Chu Xiong was stunned for a moment.

Jinyiwei?

What does Jin Yiwei want to do with him?

Could it be that Lu Chen had something to do with him?

Having been in the Northern Kingdom for so long, Chu Xiong basically understood the political structure of the Northern Kingdom, and also roughly knew who was around the Northern King.

Chu Xiong knew very well that the Jin Yiwei was the most important organization around Lu Chen. The Jin Yiwei soldiers came to him, most likely with Lu Chen's orders.

Chu Xiong then said to his servant: "Please invite that person in quickly!"

After a while, the servant took Qin Yushan into the Chu family courtyard. After entering the courtyard, Qin Yushan smiled and said, "I have met the Chu family master."

Seeing that the person coming was Qin Yushan, Chu Xiong was stunned for a moment. Qin Yushan was the commander of the Jinyi Guards. According to his understanding, apart from the King of the North, the highest commander of the Jinyiwei commanders was the commander.

The commanders of the Jin Yiwei were all very busy. Why did they come to the Chu family in person? There must be something important. Chu Xiong suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked directly: "Commander Qin, what is the wind that brings you to this prince?" Did the famous celebrity come here?"

Qin Yushan smiled and said: "What a famous person, I am just the loyal dog raised by the prince."

Having said this, Qin Yushan looked at the servants in the courtyard, and then said: "The prince asked me to tell you something. This is not the place to talk."

Chu Xiong instantly understood what Qin Yushan meant, and then immediately said: "Commander Qin, please come with me."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Xiong brought Qin Yushan to the study. After entering the study, Chu Xiong closed the study door and then asked, "I wonder what the prince's orders are?"

Qin Yushan took out a piece of information they had collected recently from his sleeves, and then said: "I don't have any instructions, but the prince asked me to show you this information."

Hearing this, Chu Xiong curiously took the paper information from Qin Yushan's hand, and then read it carefully. Upon seeing this, Chu Xiong's brows instantly wrinkled, and his face became extremely gloomy.

He did not expect that there would be a traitor among the Chu family who followed him to the North. What he had always been most worried about was that there would be a traitor in the Chu family.

They came to the Northern Kingdom to seek refuge with the Northern King. If there were traitors among the Chu family, it would probably cause the Northern King to distrust the Chu family, and even think that they did not really join the Northern Kingdom at all, but had ulterior motives.

However, Chu Xiong also saw that Lu Chen asked Qin Yushan to send this information in person without making any announcement. Most likely, he wanted to solve the problem of traitors. Lu Chen would not doubt them just because of some traitors.

Chu Xiong immediately said: "Please ask Commander Qin to bring a message to the prince on my behalf. I will definitely deal with those who spread rumors and find out who is behind the scenes."

Qin Yushan said: "Okay."

"I won't bother you any more."

Having said this, Qin Yushan turned around and left the study. Chu Xiong quickly said: "Commander Qin, please go slowly."

After Qin Yushan left the Chu family, Chu Xiong immediately investigated who was spreading the rumors based on the information Qin Yushan had shown him previously.

In just an hour, Chu Xiong found out several people who spread rumors.

Looking at the servants kneeling in the yard, Chu Xiong's face turned pale, and then he asked: "Tell me, who asked you to do this?"

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, several servants quickly kowtowed and said: "Master, please forgive me, the Second Young Master asked us to do all this!"

Chu Xiong was not surprised at all when he heard the servant's words. He had already guessed that it was the unfilial son who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

Chu Hongfei had always been thinking about Chu Yuqin's body. He had long wanted to bring Chu Yuqin back to Su Feng City. However, the strength of the Northern King suddenly increased, and the Northern Kingdom became the strongest military power among the major feudal states. The country was sealed off, which forced Chu Hongfei to give up his plan to take Chu Yuqin back to the Chu family forcibly.

But this does not mean that Chu Hongfei has given up.

At this moment, the expression on Chu Xiong's face was uncertain, as if he was thinking about something.

The rebels in the south of the Yangtze River are currently fighting against the imperial army. As a member of the Chu family in the south of the Yangtze River, Chu Hongfei does not focus on assisting Lu Shuyun at this time. Instead, he thinks about letting people spread rumors and cause trouble in the north.

Chu Xiong asked at this time: "When you came to the North with me, was it his intention?"

A servant kneeling on the ground said quickly: "Yes, the Second Young Master asked us to write down everything that happened in the North Kingdom and write to him."

Chu Xiong sighed. There was no need to investigate. The two brothers of the Chu family must have taken advantage of Chu Hongfei. On the one hand, they wanted to get information about the North Country, and on the other hand, they wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife. It is no wonder that the Chu family agreed to separate the family so easily.

If the traitors of the Chu family are not discovered, they can continue to provide information about the Northern Kingdom to the Chu family in Jiangnan. If they are discovered, the Northern King will definitely be suspicious of the Chu family in the Northern Kingdom. Once the ruler is suspicious of a The family became suspicious, and the Chu family in the North would not have an easy life in the North from now on.

These chess pieces placed by the Chu family in the south of the Yangtze River in the Chu family in the north will have a great influence on the Chu family in the north no matter what they do.

Chu Xiong thought to himself that it seemed that he would have to go to the North Prince's Mansion in person early tomorrow morning to plead guilty to Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiong said to the family guard in the courtyard: "Pull these people down and deal with them."

Upon hearing this, the servants were so frightened that they became incontinent.

"Master, please spare my life!!!"

"Master, please spare my life!!!"

"We are all forced!!!"

…

The nursing staff ignored the wails of these traitors. They dragged these people away and then killed them in the backyard of the Chu family.

…

night.

Tonight there are stars and the moon is as bright as water.

After Lu Chen processed and reviewed some official documents in the study, he felt vaguely tired.

I didn't sleep all night after doing physical work last night, and I didn't sleep during the day today. I just gave Lin Wanyun a beating in the study, and then he dealt with government affairs for so long. Even if he is a great master, he should feel tired.

Lu Chen originally wanted to go back and take a shower, then go to Chunsheng Courtyard and sleep with that big soft pillow, but then he suddenly remembered that he had an appointment with Chu Qingli.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen stood up, stretched, yawned, and then said to himself: "It seems that I won't be able to sleep again tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen left the study. As soon as he walked out of the study, he met Chu Yuqin, who was on patrol tonight.

After seeing Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern: "Chen'er, why haven't you gone back to rest?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm going to go back to sleep now."

Now that Chu Yuqin was facing Lu Chen, she was no longer as panicked as she had been some time ago. Although she had promised to serve Lu Chen long ago, Lu Chen had never done anything to her.

Lu Chen didn't take the initiative, so she simply didn't take the matter to heart. She thought in her mind that Lu Chen had so many women, and they could take care of him one by one every day, and it wouldn't be her turn to take care of him.

Of course, if Lu Chen made such a request, she would definitely not refuse it now, as long as she could find a way to distract Chu Qingli and prevent Chu Qingli from discovering it.

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, and then said to Chu Yuqin: "Aunt Chu, have you heard some rumors about me recently?"

Hearing this question, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment.

Of course she knew what the rumors Lu Chen was talking about.

Doesn't it mean that Lu Chen occupied her as a widow, and even his aunt was not spared.

When she thought of this so-called rumor, a blush appeared on Chu Yuqin's cheeks.

The reason why she was afraid that Lu Chen would attack her was because she was worried that there would be rumors that would affect the reputation of Lu Chen, the prince.

Lu Chen is going to be the emperor in the future, so he cannot have too many black spots.

Chu Yuqin said at this time: "Qingli has already told me, I..."

When the words came to her lips, Chu Yuqin hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Aunt Chu, don't feel stressed. These rumors will disappear in a few days. These rumors were spread by the Chu family, and my grandfather should have already dealt with them."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment. How could the Chu family spread these rumors?

Chu Yuqin asked: "Is it the Jiangnan Chu family?"

Lu Chen said: "It was found out that he is from the Chu family of the Northern Kingdom, but these people spreading rumors are probably the spies that the Chu family of the south of the Yangtze River planted in the Chu family of the Northern Kingdom."

Chu Yuqin sighed slightly and said nothing.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Aunt Chu, I will go back and rest first."

Chu Yuqin said: "Yeah, okay."

Then Lu Chen went straight to the courtyard where Chu Qingli was.

Chu Yuqin was out on patrol, so she could go and trade with Chu Qingli.

After a while, Lu Chen came to Chu Qingli's room. As soon as he entered the room, before Chu Qingli could react, Lu Chen, a princess, hugged her to the bed, then pressed her under him and watched her condescendingly. she.

Chu Qingli looked into Lu Chen's eyes and said coldly: "Why are you so anxious? I spent the whole night with the master of Xuanyue Palace last night and bullied Lin Wanyun in the study just now. What's the point of being so anxious? I don't believe you. It’s still okay.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "A certain vixen often provoked me like this in the past. Recently, she has not dared to return to the palace."

Chu Qingli said nonchalantly: "Your words don't scare me, I... uh uh uh..."

Before Chu Qingli finished speaking, Lu Chen leaned down and kissed Chu Qingli's red lips.

In fact, Chu Qingli did not want to provoke Lu Chen. She really felt that Lu Chen had been busy all day and night, and even a great master would have no energy left.

Chu Qingli finally suffered the consequences.

The night was very long. After patrolling the inner courtyard for a few times, Chu Yuqin planned to return to the courtyard and sit for a while.

At this moment, she saw Bai Qingqing, dressed in white, standing on the roof, looking into the distance.

Chu Yuqin was a little curious. Bai Qingqing was not on duty tonight. Why didn't she go back to sleep? What was she doing standing on the roof?

Chu Yuqin then used Qinggong to jump to the roof in a few steps and came to Bai Qingqing, "Xiao Bai, you are not on duty tonight. Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?"

After hearing Chu Yuqin's question, Bai Qingqing replied expressionlessly: "Can't sleep."

this……

Chu Yuqin asked curiously: "What are you worried about? Why don't you tell me, maybe you will feel a lot better after telling me."

Chu Yuqin thought in her heart that Bai Qingqing has not had any feelings since she was a child. Logically speaking, a person like her should not have anything to worry about. How could she have such a day when she couldn't sleep? This made Chu Yuqin feel a little strange.

At this time, Bai Qingqing said: "I'm not worried, I just can't sleep."

Chu Yuqin was slightly stunned. Since she had nothing to worry about, why couldn't she fall asleep?

However, she did not continue to ask. Everyone has their own secrets, and Bai Qingqing was no exception. She didn't want to tell them, so just let it go.

At this time, Chu Yuqin also looked in the direction Bai Qingqing was looking. She thought that since Bai Qingqing couldn't sleep, she would stay with her on the roof for a while.

Just as Chu Yuqin was thinking this, suddenly, she vaguely heard the emotional cry of an animal.

Hearing this sound, Chu Yuqin didn't pay too much attention. It was normal for such sounds to appear in the inner courtyard of the palace. She could hear such sounds almost every time she patrolled at night.

As for who made these sounds, this is obvious. Who else could it be besides the little villain.

Chu Yuqin had no intention of looking for the source of the sound. She continued to stand on the roof, blowing the wind with Bai Qingqing.

Gradually, half an hour passed, and the voice in the inner courtyard became louder and louder.

Chu Yuqin suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although she often heard such voices in the inner courtyard of the palace, she didn't know why, but she always felt that the voice sounded a bit like Chu Qingli's.

She had been staying with Lu Chen's wives and concubines, so she was already very familiar with their voices. Although their voices were slightly deformed when they called, she could still vaguely hear some differences.

The voices in the inner courtyard of the palace at this time did not seem to be the voices of Lu Chen's wives and concubines.

Chu Yuqin turned her head and glanced at Bai Qingqing, then said, "Xiao Bai, I'm going to patrol first."

Bai Qingqing said expressionlessly: "Yes."

Chu Yuqin then jumped down from the roof and followed the direction of the sound.

As a result, she walked and came to the door of the courtyard where she lived.

Chu Yuqin was stunned for a moment, and Chu Qingli's voice became louder at this time.

Chu Yuqin suddenly realized that Chu Qingli had become obsessed with practicing martial arts recently, and she must have become obsessed again.

When she thought of this, Chu Yuqin hurriedly ran towards Chu Qingli's room, and soon she came to the door of Chu Qingli's room. At this time, Chu Qingli's voice suddenly became even weirder.

"ah……"

Chu Yuqin thought that Chu Qingli's obsession was serious. In desperation, she pushed the door open without thinking and said, "Qingli, are you okay! Just hold on, I'll go right away..."

Before Chu Yuqin finished speaking, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. She froze on the spot and looked at the two people in the room with a look of shock.

She originally said, "I'll call Chen'er right away," but when she came in, she realized that she needed to call Lu Chen. Isn't Lu Chen in this room?

Chu Qingli suddenly woke up from the confusion. When she saw Chu Yuqin actually barging in, her nervousness reached its maximum and she was immediately confused.

After Chu Qingli came back to her senses, her expression was extremely panicked. She quickly said: "Sister... please listen to my explanation. It's not what you... ah... saw... like..."

Lu Chen did not stop what he was doing because of Chu Yuqin's intrusion. When he saw Chu Qingli trying to get up, he held her down to prevent her from escaping.

Seeing that Lu Chen was actually doing something evil in front of her, Chu Yuqin's face turned red immediately, and then she stepped out directly, "Chen'er, you guys are busy first, I will come back to you later."

After Chu Yuqin left the room, Chu Qingli was ashamed and annoyed. She turned to look at Lu Chen and cursed: "You...bastard!"

Lu Chen didn't care about her, he just scolded her. Anyway, everything had been exposed, and he could take this opportunity to have a showdown with Chu Yuqin.

Chu Qingli continued to struggle. The more she struggled, the more she aroused Lu Chen's inner anger. In the end, it was Chu Qingli herself who suffered the consequences.

After Chu Yuqin exited the room, her mind went blank.

She always thought that every time Chu Qingli made noise in the room, it was because he was possessed. Even the last time Lu Chen appeared in her room, she didn't notice anything about the two of them.

The result now seems...

Wherever he went crazy, it was clearly that little villain who had eaten up Chu Qingli.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Chen has done bad things to Chu Qingli more than once?

When she thought of this, Chu Yuqin felt a little angry inside. She said that she had asked her to transfer Chu Qingli away from the North Palace, but he seemed a little unwilling.

She thought Lu Chen was worried that no one would treat Chu Qingli when she went crazy, but she didn't expect him to have such thoughts.

I became obsessed with practicing Qigong...

What a good excuse!

Hearing the commotion in the room that was still going on, Chu Yuqin curled her lips, but she found out that this little villain was still doing bad things and didn't care at all.

It's no wonder that Chu Qingli's obsession has never been cured. It's no wonder that she can be cured if Lu Chen treats her like this.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin sighed.

She had actually guessed that Lu Chen was interested in Chu Qingli, and sooner or later Lu Chen would attack Chu Qingli, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen and Chu Qingli would secretly do bad things.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't care about being discovered at all, he probably planned to show off his cards directly. Chu Yuqin then walked to the pavilion in the yard and sat down, waiting for them to come out to show off their cards.
