Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 698 Taking the overall situation into consideration
She was more inclined to support Chu Jingming's ascension to the throne, even though her father had reached an agreement with the crown prince that even if Chu Feimo ascended the throne, the position of queen would belong to her.
But every time she thought of Chu Feimo's deep, disturbing eyes, she shuddered.
In contrast, although Prince Ming appeared cold on the outside, he never criticized his subordinates, which was exactly the quality she admired.
Once at a banquet hosted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Fang Lansu took the opportunity to sneak out to get some fresh air. At that time, she witnessed Chu Feimo brutally killing a maid with a smile and sinking the body into the lotus pond.
The maid's dying gaze met hers, and she was kept awake for the next month.
"The prince is in a hurry to find me. What's the matter?" Fang Lansu restrained her ferocity towards Jiang Xue and Yun Yan, pretending to be gentle and cute, and asked Chu Jingming in a soft voice.
"Where is the child?" Chu Jingming felt disgusted when he saw her pretending.
Thinking of Yunyan's anxiety over the disappearance of her child, he became even more disgusted with Fang Lansu. If it wasn't for buying time to rescue the child, he would never want to look at her again.
When Fang Lansu heard the word "child", the joy in her heart disappeared instantly.
"What child? I really don't understand what the prince said." She suppressed her anger and stopped.
"You know who I'm talking about. Chu Feimo attacked the East City Villa, and your brother Fang Qisheng was among them.
Even if Chu Feimo hates me, he will not hurt my child directly, because it will only give me an excuse to kill him. Therefore, the child should be in the hands of your Fang family. "
Chu Jingming analyzed calmly.
"Why didn't the prince suspect General Cui? He was also involved in that operation. You don't trust the Fang family so much, and you just put the blame on us. Don't you think it's too unfair?"
Fang Lansu's voice gradually became louder, filled with grievance, anger, and fear of having her conspiracy exposed.
"Cui Shuji won't want that child." When Chu Jingming mentioned this name, his tone became even colder.
Cui Shuji's improper thoughts about Yunyan had already touched his bottom line.
Although he originally did not want to take Cui Shuji's life considering the Cui family's loyalty to Xiyong, but after this incident, he decided to completely get rid of Cui Shuji and Chu Feimo.
"General Cui only has Yunyan in his heart. He won't have the heart to accept that child." Jiang Xue's voice came from behind. Fang Lansu turned around suddenly and was surprised to see Jiang Xue standing up from her seat.
"When did you come? Why didn't I notice you?" Fang Lansu asked puzzledly.
"When you came in, your mind was full of Prince Ming, and naturally you ignored a small figure like me." Jiang Xue said lightly and walked towards her.
"Cui Shu no longer has the heart to accept that child. Does the Fang family have that? Your Majesty actually thinks that our Fang family has such a broad mind that we can even raise a child born by a lowly person!"
Fang Lansu said unconvincedly. She was full of jealousy. Why could Yunyan, a female guard of humble origin, receive special treatment from the prince, while she, as the wife of Prince Ming, could not receive any favor at all?
The prince treated her completely differently from other women, even in important meetings and ceremonies, with a misty look on his face, which made her feel extremely unbalanced.
"From the beginning, I was wary of Yunyan. I was friendly to her on the surface, but secretly made things difficult for her.
While the prince was away, I tried to get rid of her, but she miraculously survived and gave birth to this child! How could I accept this!"
Fang Lansu's words revealed that she indirectly acknowledged the fact that the child was indeed in the Fang family.
Her harsh words towards Fang Lansu and the child aroused Chu Jingming's anger. When he married her, he thought she was gentle and virtuous, but he never expected that she had such a vicious heart behind her!
"Prince Ming." Jiang Xue sensed the murderous aura surrounding him and warned him in a low voice, gently shaking her head.
The Fang family already had the intention of rebellion, and keeping Fang Lansu behind would be a chess piece to control the Fang family. Even if he was dissatisfied, he had to consider the overall situation and not take action against her for the time being.
Chu Jingming understood this, and after seeing Jiang Xue's eyes, he tried to calm his anger. He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the murderous aura had faded a lot.
"Come here, the princess is not feeling well, help her back to her room to rest. Send someone to report to the palace, saying that the princess is seriously ill and needs to rest, and cannot see guests, including people from the Fang family."
Since the Fang family dared to touch his bottom line, he would not let it go easily. Putting Fang Lansu under house arrest was just the beginning, and there were bigger moves waiting for them.
"Are you going to imprison me? You can't do that! My father won't let you go!"
Under the "escort" of the guards, Fang Lansu could not break free from the restraints no matter how hard she struggled. She screamed hysterically, her voice shrill.
Chu Jingming frowned and was about to ask someone to cover her mouth, but Jiang Xue pressed her acupuncture points, making her unable to speak. The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"Take her away and take good care of her." Jiang Xue ordered. Seeing that Chu Jingming had no objection, the guards obeyed his orders and took Fang Lansu away.
"Your Highness." Soon, Ashan appeared at the door of the study and reported.
"His Royal Highness is visiting."
"What a rare guest." Jiang Xue looked at Chu Jingming, and then asked A Shan: "Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell us why he came?"
Before he could finish his words, the familiar yet disgusting figure appeared at the door.
"Changle might as well ask me about this question in person," said the prince.
"Second brother, long time no see, how have you been lately?" Chu Jingming responded indifferently.
Chu Feimo smiled and looked at Chu Jingming carefully:
"It seems that you have been doing well recently, and you look much better than before. I remember that you were so thin when you just came out of prison."
"Your Highness, I am sorry for not being able to greet you from afar. I wonder what your Highness is here for?" Chu Jingming interrupted and bowed.
It should be time for Yunyan to take medicine. This little girl hates bitter medicine the most. If she is not supervised, she will definitely pour it out secretly. Thinking of Yunyan, Chu Jingming's eyes softened.
"Is it not okay to just come and take a look?" Chu Feimo replied with a smile and turned his gaze to Jiang Xue.
"I won't pursue the matter of my second brother 'borrowing' someone from me, but you can come and sit with me, right?"
As he said this, he walked straight into the study and sat down. He took a sip of the tea on the table and nodded with satisfaction: "Second brother is really favored by the emperor. This tribute tea has only been produced for a short time and it has come to you. There are only a few noble ladies in the palace who can enjoy it."
There was a hint of envy in his words, but if you listened carefully, you could sense his dissatisfaction.
"If the prince likes it, I'll have some sent over."
Chu Jingming was not afraid, but he was concerned about Yunyan. He didn't want to waste his breath and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. No one knew about Yunyan's affairs in the mansion except him and Jiang Xue. If Chu Feimo knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Second brother, why are we so distant from each other? Is there some unspeakable secret hidden in this mansion, so you are in a hurry to let me leave?" Chu Feimo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes meaningful.
