Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Lu Yu winked at Zichen, and Zichen said, "There is a secret pavilion over there. The lady can hide in it."

Zichen twisted a mechanism on the Bogu shelf, and the Bogu shelf moved, revealing a secret door at the back.

Chu Tianjiao hid in alone.

When Zheng Chuang, the general of the City Patrol Department, pushed open the door of this room, he happened to see Lu Yu pressing Zichen down in front of the screen. The screen was scattered on the ground, and the painting style was quite eye-catching.

"Sorry for disturbing the prince's enjoyment!"

Zheng Chuang touched his nose and stood awkwardly at the door.

Lu Yu let go of Zichen, sat up, covered his loosened clothes, and complained in his heart:

If he had known that the general who came to search for the city was none other than Chu Tianjiao's second cousin Zheng Chuang, why would he destroy his image like this and cover up for her?

Zheng Chuang explained to Lu Yu that he was ordered to hunt down the assassin who killed the fourth prince.

Lu Yu watched Zheng Chuang leading people to search the house with a half-smile, and wondered to himself: Does Zheng Chuang know that the so-called assassin is his own cousin?

Zheng Chuang walked into the house, took a casual look, and then said:

"My lord, excuse me! Please continue..."

After saying that, he exited the room and kindly closed the door for Lu Yu.

After the guards of the fourth prince's palace and the people from the city patrol department had all evacuated, Lu Yu asked Zichen to open the secret cabinet and found that Chu Tianjiao had fainted.

Lu Yu picked up Chu Tianjiao by the waist and put him on the couch. He still looked weak and yandere who couldn't take care of himself.

Lu Yu said to Zichen, "Come and treat her injury."

Without any hesitation, Zichen went out for a trip and brought back a medical kit.

Lu Yu supported Chu Tianjiao, let her head rest on his shoulder, and tore off the clothes around her wound.

A barbed arrow was clamped deep into the flesh.

"The numbness has not dissipated. Prince, please cover her mouth to prevent her from shouting in pain and alerting others."

Lu Yu covered Chu Tianjiao's mouth and ordered firmly: "Do it!"

Zichen first wanted to cut open the surrounding flesh. As soon as the knife went down, Chu Tianjiao woke up in pain.

She just snorted and didn't yell.

Lu Yu comforted him in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, don't move, I'm getting the arrow!"

Chu Tianjiao regained consciousness, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She moved her other hand and pushed away Lu Yu's hand covering her mouth.

"It's okay, I won't scream."

Her voice was very weak, and Lu Yu held her head and body down, letting her lean on him.

Zichen behind him sped up his movements. Judging from his skillful techniques, it didn't look like he was doing it for the first time.

Chu Tianjiao gritted his teeth and stood firm, even his consciousness began to blur.

When Zichen dug out the arrow for the last time, Chu Tianjiao finally couldn't bear the pain anymore. He wanted to scream, but couldn't, so he bit a piece of cloth in front of him.

Lu Yu trembled all over.

Chu Tianjiao's entire consciousness was fighting against the pain, and he didn't realize that he was biting Lu Yu's shoulder.

When the arrowhead was dug out, Chu Tianjiao fainted again.

After applying the medicine, Lu Yu laid Chu Tianjiao on his side on the couch.

Zichen saw faint traces of blood on Lu Yu's white robe.

Zichen reminded dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, Miss Chu is the fourth prince's concubine..."

Lu Yu changed his usual modesty in front of others and glared at Zichen with a cold face. Zichen quickly shut up and packed his things.

While helping Lu Yu treat the wound on his shoulder, Zichen still couldn't hold it back and muttered in a low voice:

"It would be great if the prince can marry Miss Chu, but she will have to marry the fourth prince at dawn."

Lu Yu turned his head and glanced at Chu Tianjiao, who was sleeping on the couch. The corners of his lips curled up slightly and he asked, "The way she looks now, can she wake up at dawn?"

Zichen woke up, looked at Lu Yu's face, and analyzed:

"The assassination of the fourth prince tonight couldn't really be done by Miss Chu, right? If the two of them fall out, the prince can take advantage of it."

Lu Yu glared at Zichen fiercely and spat: "Noisy!"

It was less than an hour before dawn.

The Marquis of Liyang was in chaos.

When Chu Tianjiao's eldest daughter Qingluan discovered that Chu Tianjiao was missing, she immediately reported it to the second lady Xue, the head of Liyang Houfu.

The eldest wife of Liyang Houfu, Mrs. Zheng, died of depression three years ago. This large Liyang Houfu is jointly managed by the second lady and the third lady, with Mrs. Chu as the mediator.

The eldest lady who was about to leave the cabinet ran away from home. Mrs. Xue did not dare to take matters into her own hands for such a big matter, so she reported it to Mrs. Chu.

I originally thought that Madam Chu would be furious and send people around to look for the eldest lady.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu read Chu Tianjiao's letter and asked Qingluan to ask Chu Tianjiao about his recent behavior and words in detail, and then said that the marriage was not over.

Mrs. Chu wrote a memorial and sent it to the palace, saying that Chu Tianjiao was suddenly ill and could not get married on time, so she begged to postpone the wedding.

He also asked Ms. Xue to inform her relatives and friends that the wedding was temporarily cancelled.

Mr. Xue was very dissatisfied and protested in a low voice:

"Mom, are you manipulating the eldest girl like this? How can you just give up on this marriage granted by the Holy Spirit?"

Mrs. Chu took out a plain hairpin from the jewelry box, made a gesture on her temples, and put it back into the box.

"If I don't let her go, can you find a way to capture her and get her married?"

Xue didn't dare to contradict anymore, but she felt a little dissatisfied.

Mrs. Chu glanced sideways at her and explained patiently:

"Now the big girl said that she may not be on the way to the border town anymore."

"She left a letter saying that the fourth prince was a treacherous person and asked me to evade the marriage for her. There must be a reason for this."

"Postponing the wedding is the only solution at the moment. What else do you want from me?"

Mrs. Xue secretly glanced at Mrs. Chu and found a look of indifference on her face, as if the seriousness of Chu Tianjiao's escape from marriage was not as important as which hairpin she would wear today.

Mrs. Xue admired her in her heart: She is indeed the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Chu family. Looking at her demeanor, she is a bit calmer than the Queen Mother in the palace.

Mr. Xue retreated to deal with the many trivial matters related to the postponement of the wedding.

Half an hour later, the queen in the palace received a note from Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu was a first-grade imperial concubine, and she originally had the right to directly ask the emperor for discounts.

But the queen is responsible for weddings and funerals.

Although the fourth prince is the son of a palace maid, he is attached to the noble concubine Ye and may threaten the prince's status after marrying the Chu family.

The queen originally disliked this marriage, but after receiving the news from Mrs. Chu, she was overjoyed.

On this day, the emperor happened to be sleeping in her palace and had not yet left.

The queen presented the zhezi to the emperor.

"The eldest girl of the Chu family suddenly fell ill before her marriage. Could it be that this marriage is unlucky?"

The queen took the opportunity to make a suggestion and wanted to cancel the marriage.

The emperor felt that this was a fraud and sent an imperial doctor to Liyang Houfu to investigate Chu Tianjiao's condition.

At this time, the eunuch in charge came to report that the fourth prince was assassinated last night and was currently bedridden. I wonder if other princes can do the wedding for him.

The emperor thought this was a coincidence.

"Let An Yesi go investigate. What happened in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and Liyang Marquis' Mansion last night?"

The queen pushed forward Mrs. Chu's petition to postpone the wedding date.

The emperor pinched his eyebrows with a headache and said helplessly: "That's right! Let's choose a date after the two of them recover."
