Chapter 289 (1/2)
After half a ring, the queen said, ”is this the idea given to you by Gu Changyan?”
The fourth Prince silently said, ”yes.”
In fact, even Gu Changyan didn't know about it. The person who really came up with this method was Chu Xi.
But the fourth Prince didn't want to tell the queen.
No matter how angry the queen is, she won't do anything to him. It's her own son.
But Chu Xi is different. She is just a weak woman. The queen can't stand Chu Xi. If the queen knows that this is Chu Xi's idea, she will definitely give Chu Xi poisonous wine.
Therefore, Gu Changyan had to carry the pot.
What the fourth Prince hasn't said is that Chu Xi also said that the emperor is obsessed with alchemy and is bent on pursuing immortality and becoming an immortal. In fact, everyone knows that becoming an immortal is impossible, but the emperor's letter is enough.
Next, Chu Xi plans to ask the fourth prince to look for Taoists all over the world and find more people with real skills. As long as his majesty believes in those Taoists, his majesty will listen to what the Taoists say at that time. In addition, the women in the palace behind the fourth Prince blow the pillow wind. So many people work hard, I'm afraid it won't work?
In any case, the fourth prince must sit in that position.
But you can't tell the queen about it.
Chu Xi is a woman. Naturally, she knows that the queen has moved her true feelings towards her majesty. If she knows the plan of the fourth prince, she will stop it at the first time. She can't ask the queen to break the plan of the fourth prince.
Speaking of Chu Xi, Chu Zhi always ordered people to stare at her secretly.
But Chu Xi was so smart that she was afraid of being found. She walked several corridors secretly. The person Chu Zhi sent to track was lost. They didn't laugh about where she went and what she did.
Only know that Chu Xi came out of the palace soon, Gu Changyan also drove out in a sedan chair. They once looked at each other, and Chu Xi also smiled and nodded at Gu Changyan.
There was not much in the palace at that time, so no one saw the dark tide surging between them.
Chu Xuan complained to Chu Zhi at night: ”you don't know. Chu Xi's face is red when she returns to the house. Isn't it that she was rewarded by the queen and the fourth imperial concubine at the palace banquet? What can be proud of? It's worth her happiness. Now her face is red!”
Chu Zhi's heart moved: ”you said her face was red?”
Chu Xuan nodded: ”it's not. Show someone a coquettish look!”
If it was the usual, Chu Zhi wouldn't take this detail to heart. Just when she entered the palace in the afternoon, Aunt Huang specially explained that Chu Xi had brought a bag of reminders, feelings and medicine. Chu Xi dumped the person Chu Zhi sent to follow. Chu Zhi didn't know what he had done. But Chu Xuan said so, Chu Zhi kept an eye on him.
On the surface, she didn't understand the voice and color. After talking to Chu Xuan for a while, Chu Xuan was sleepy and went back to her yard accompanied by the servant girl.
Chu Xuan had just left. Chu Zhi hurriedly called mammy Qian and said privately, ”when you go to greet your grandmother tomorrow, you go with me and help me see Chu Xi.”
Mammy Qian knew for a moment: ”the girl is suspected of six girls...”
Chu Zhi nodded: ”if Chu Xi really... Then I have to make another plan.”
Chu Zhi had people stare at the fourth prince. On the whole new year's Eve, because the queen found out that he had sent a woman to his majesty, the fourth Prince and his concubine had been sitting in the Changle hall with the queen. After the Palace Banquet was over, they returned to the house obediently, and had not left the banquet for half a step.
But Gu Changyan didn't see anyone. He calculated the time, which was almost the same as when Chu Xi disappeared.
