Chapter 133 The prey that comes to your door
Perhaps it was because he was too tired, or because he drank some medicine during the day and his body training caused some stimulation, Chu Qianyu fell asleep again not long after.
After a sleepless night, she finally had a good night's sleep.
The next day, she opened her eyes as soon as it was light as usual, got up and practiced meditation in the room for a while, then called Shuang Ning in and helped her wash up.
As the wedding date was getting closer, and after what happened yesterday, Chu Qianyu had a very comfortable day today, with no one coming to cause trouble.
At noon, Chu Qianyu had just finished lunch and was lying on a lounge chair by the pool, basking in the sun. She narrowed her eyes slightly and prepared to take a nap.
But she saw Shao Ying walking over quickly, and walked to Chu Qianyu's side and whispered: "Miss, something happened in the palace last night."
"Hmm?" Chu Qianyu opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"The queen's hand was chopped off and placed on the edge of the bed. When the queen mother got up, she was almost frightened to death."
"Mo Yinan?" These three words suddenly popped up in Chu Qianyu's mind. It seemed that he had gone to the palace in person after leaving her last night.
It seems that he is not satisfied with the emperor's punishment of the queen. He wants to use this to intimidate the emperor and the queen mother so that they will not target her again in the future.
-
Inside the Imperial Palace, Shoukang Palace.
The emperor was sitting in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and the Queen Mother was half lying on the couch with a pale face. She felt weak all over and trembled when she saw the bed.
"Mother, this matter must be related to Mo Yinan. His original intention yesterday was to ask me to depose the queen, but later he agreed with my approach. I didn't expect him to be so bold as to wait here." The emperor felt that his dignity was violated, and he was so angry that his temples were throbbing.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother did not speak for a long time. Her chest was heaving, her teeth were clenched, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat someone.
Then he snorted angrily, "Humph! I really underestimated him. Now he is even more arrogant than his father was back then. It seems that he has really grown wings!"
"Mother, you shouldn't have let the Queen interfere in this matter. Not only has she been implicated, but Mo Yinan has also become alert. He must have sent a lot of people to protect Miss Chu. He entrusted General Chu with the important task in order to balance the military power."
"Now that they are related by marriage, I will find an opportunity to remove General Chu from his position in the future. There is no need to take action against Miss Chu. And now the Fourth Elder says that things have been almost done. As long as the Fourth Elder can control the Situ family, I won't have to worry about Mo Yinan." said the emperor.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at him with a scrutinizing look in her eyes and said, "Don't tell me that you still have feelings for Yunying!"
The emperor thought about yesterday. Although Yunying had changed a lot, the feeling she gave him had never changed.
A trace of guilt flashed through his mind, and then he sighed helplessly and said: "Mother, so many years have passed, my son has forgotten it."
The Queen Mother understood what he was thinking, but she pretended to believe him and said, "If that's the case, then don't worry about it. I asked you to marry the Queen so that you, as the Crown Prince, would have a better chance of ascending the throne."
"I am doing this now so that you can sit firmly on the throne. As for Miss Chu's affairs, I have already made arrangements. You don't have to worry about it. If Mo Yinan wants to get married, it must be granted by me." The Queen Mother said this with a solemn oath, as if everything was under her control.
The emperor unconsciously clenched his fists and a dark light flashed in his eyes. Then he returned to normal and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I'll listen to your arrangements. I have something else to do in the court, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he stood up.
Then he said, "You were frightened. I'll ask the imperial physician to come and prescribe some tranquilizers for you later. You should have a good rest."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I understand. You can go and do your own thing. By the way, the Queen's hand was cut off. You should go and see her when you have time."
"I understand." The emperor said and turned to leave.
On the way, Zhang Fu saw that the emperor seemed to have no intention of going to Kunning Palace, and thought that he had forgotten, so he whispered to remind him: "Your Majesty, are you going to the Queen's place?"
"No need to go. Tell the imperial physician to treat her well first. The news that the queen's hand was chopped off must not be spread out. You are responsible for dealing with all the servants who know about it." The emperor said in a cold voice. What's the use of a queen without hands?
If this were to get out, people would just laugh their heads off, or laugh at him for being incompetent and unable to even protect his own queen in the palace.
"Yes, I will take care of it later. Everything will be properly arranged, Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhang Fu replied.
After the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace, a dark figure suddenly appeared and bowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
"Go tell the Fourth Elder to come back later. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The black shadow responded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the hour of You, the weather suddenly changed, and dark clouds gathered. In a short while, the sky became dark, followed by a violent storm, indicating that the night was destined to be restless.
Chu Qianyu was half lying on the couch, looking at the lightning and thunder outside the window. The leaves seemed to be about to be blown off by the strong wind. Her eyes were deep, and her thoughts drifted to what happened not long ago.
The Fourth Elder arranged for Ming Zixi to put a Gu on her again. It should be almost the day of her wedding, and she should be dying. After all, this matter cannot be rushed. Thinking of this, Chu Qianyu sighed softly.
When I came to my senses again, the rain had gradually stopped.
Soon the moon was high in the sky, brighter than usual.
With a creak, the window was opened. Chu Qianyu sat there without any sign of defense. She picked up the teacup and poured herself a cup of tea in a relaxed manner.
"Xiao Yueyue, it seems you guessed that I was coming." Leng Qingzhou smiled and sat down opposite Chu Qianyu and looked at her.
"Is there something?" Chu Qianyu asked.
"Yes, there is something. Guess what." Leng Qingzhou said with a somewhat mysterious expression.
"The Queen Mother's people are looking for us." Chu Qianyu picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression not changing at all.
When Leng Qingzhou heard this, his expression instantly froze.
After a while, he recovered and asked, "Did anyone tell you?"
"No, I guessed it. Now the Fifth Elder is unable to take care of himself, and she has no one to use, so she can only look for a killer organization in the martial arts world. And now the Xuanyue Sect has emerged as a new force, with a good reputation in the martial arts world and has never failed. If she can contact us, I believe her next step will be to figure out how to conquer the Xuanyue Sect." Chu Qianyu analyzed very calmly.
Leng Qingzhou felt bored after hearing this and curled his lips and said, "You are just smart." Then he leaned on the couch and asked, "Then do you decide whether to accept this mission or not? But the reward she offers is quite high. I didn't expect that you are quite valuable in her eyes."
Chu Qianyu sneered: "It's not that I'm valuable, it's that Mo Yinan has angered her, and now she doesn't care about it anymore. She just wants to prevent us from getting married."
Then he said, "Take it. Don't refuse the money that comes to your door."
Leng Qingzhou was immediately interested when he heard this. He squinted his eyes and looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do? Robbery?"
Chu Qianyu lowered her head and rubbed the ring on her hand. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said, "This is the first time I've seen prey delivered to my door. It's quite interesting. It just so happens that I have some new ideas."
