Later, I became the prince of the group

Seeing Mingju's main room, Liu Qi and Chu Yan were sitting on the edge of the bed and on the couch, facing each other far away, neither paying attention to the other.

Liu Qi's injury was not serious, just a shallow cut on the palm of his hand, and he would be fine if the bleeding stopped, but even so, Chu Yan, who was still calm after being stabbed by the knife, saw the imperial doctor re-applied the medicine to bandage him. Sometimes, the eyelids also twitched.

His concubine's delicate skin and tender flesh haven't suffered much, it hurts so much.

Chu Yan's injury was not serious, Xiangying thought he had put in a lot of strength, but in fact the stabbing wasn't that deep at all, and the wound on his waist and abdomen was not as serious as the wound caused by Chu Yan holding the knife himself.Fortunately, the injury on the hand looked serious, but it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and Chu Yan was holding the knife in his left hand, so the impact would not be too great.

But what Liu Qi thought in his heart was: This wound is much deeper than his own, and it hurts so much.

Chu Yan didn't even hum, and Liu Qi was even more embarrassed to hum.

The two were hurting each other, but they just didn't say a word, Chang Xi and Chang Le secretly looked at each other: what kind of anger is this!

After the examination by Royal Physician Wang, he was going back to the palace to return to the palace. Chu Yan said, "I'm inconvenient, so I won't send you off. I'm always happy and happy, and I'll send Royal Physician Wang off for a ride."

Doctor Wang smiled and said, "My lord is too polite."

Chang Xi Chang Le left, and only Xiang Ying was left to serve. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, she set aside a separate area for the two of them under the pretext of decocting medicine.

The room was silent for a long while, and the two spoke at the same time.

"You...does it hurt..."

"You must never do this again in the future."

Liu Qi curled his lips, rolled his eyes secretly, and thought angrily: I don't need to care about him!

Chu Yan also heard what he said, and his tone softened: "I practice swords with my uncle, and I know how to hold the blade without hurting the muscles and bones, but you don't know what to do if your hands become useless."

Liu Qi fell down and covered his head with the quilt, looking like "I don't want to listen to the bastard's chanting".

Chu Yan approached and patted him through the quilt: "Let me see the injury."

Liu Qi ignored him.

"Then look at my injury, hiss, it hurts."

There was a rustle under the quilt, and Liu Qi's hand that was about to lift the quilt rested on the way, only a little crack was revealed, and the voice came muffled: "Fake, you are not afraid of pain at all."

Chu Yan smiled: "I'm not afraid of pain, am I still in pain?"

Liu Qi asked back, "Isn't it still painful when I look at you?"

"If you give me some sweetness, I won't be hurt anymore. Mr. Liu, I can't bend down, why don't you get up and give me a hug?"

Liu Qi tore off the quilt and looked at him in surprise.

This person just now...was he being coquettish?

Seeing Liu Qi staring at him silently, Chu Yan planned to be self-reliant, pulled him up and pressed him into his arms with his good right hand, hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead and the end of his eyes, kneading and kneading everywhere. , By the way, I finished looking at the gauze-wrapped hand.

When Liu Qi came back to his senses, His Royal Highness Wang An had already completed a wave of "self-absorption and self-sufficiency", and asked him, "Do you want to keep me?"

It was fine if he didn't ask, but when he asked Liu Qi, he remembered the thing about this man saying "no" to him after he had done his hands and feet.As a man with normal needs, not to mention being deprived of the right to demand, now he doesn't even have the right to be demanded, this must be unbearable!

Angrily pushed him away: "Don't stay!"

Chu Yan said regretfully: "Okay then, Nanny Tang went to help the Xiaoning town. She is always happy and rough-handed. I will leave Xiangying with you first."

After speaking, he wanted to pat Liu Qi's head for the last time, but this time Liu Qi was prepared to avoid it, and lay down again to suffocate his head.

Chu Yan had no choice but to withdraw his unsuccessful hand, turned around and went out the door.

When he walked outside, he saw a scrolled painting on the tea table, and suddenly remembered that Liu Qi had brought this painting with him when he came to the firewood room, so he opened it and took a look.

Liu Qi in the inner room still didn't move, he thought for a while, and took the painting away with him.

Early the next morning, Chu Yan handed the painting to Chen Su: "Go and show the people in this painting to Yingmei's neighbors."

Chen Su opened it and took a look, surprised: "Your Highness, do you suspect it is the Qiu family?"

"It was drawn by Liu Qi." Chu Yan said, "But it won't hurt to check it out."

In fact, the first thing he suspected was the brothers and sisters of the Qiu family. Now because of Qiu Zizhen, the Liu family has basically cut off contact with the Qiu family. Qiu Zizhen's current situation at home can be imagined. It is reasonable to want revenge. Qiu Zihua came to the palace to think Asked Liu Qi to intercede, but was rejected.

With the hearts of the Qiu family brothers and sisters, the possibility of not remembering the grudge against Liu Qi is very small. In addition, Qiu Zihua often went in and out with Liu Qi in the past. He must know that Liu Qi redeemed a Yingmei. It is not difficult for people not to doubt him. .

But it is too easy to make people suspect him, and feel that something is wrong, plus the information revealed in Yingmei's confession...

"Go and check first, and give me the result as soon as possible."

Chen Su nodded, put away the painting and stepped back.

Chu Yan actually didn't have any expectations, because even if the Qiu family brothers and sisters were involved in this matter, they would not send people around them to show up, let alone go in person.

Who knew that when Chen Su came back, he said: Someone in the alley really recognized the maid beside Qiu Zizhen.

Chu Yan: "Are you sure that neighbor is telling the truth?"

"It's the truth. I've confirmed it over and over again. The neighbor's house is close to Yingmei's. The hostess of that house is kind. She delivered Yingmei's son, and she has always taken care of Yingmei's mother and child. That day, she wanted to send two eggs to Yingmei's house. At the door, she saw a woman with a veiled hat coming out of Yingmei's house. She didn't see her face clearly, but she accidentally saw jade beads strung on the woman's wrist. hand strap." Chen Su spread out the painting and pointed to one of them: "It's exactly the same as this hand strap. I went to inquire about it, and the personal maid next to Qiu Zizhen did have such a strap on her hand. It's her. The relic left by her mother has been with her ever since she became a personal maid and didn't have to do the dirty work."

Chu Yan was quite surprised.

It was not accident that Qiu Zizhen did it, but that Liu Qi even noticed such a small detail as the bracelet and drew it. No wonder he wanted to draw a real and thin full-body portrait. The arrest warrant should be ashamed.

Xinqing was surprised: "It's really them? Where did they have the guts to murder the princess?"

Chu Yan was also thinking: Where did they get the courage.

Are you sure you won't expose yourself?Or did you not think too clearly about the consequences?

Thinking about the brains of the two brothers and sisters, it is really possible.

But what happened to Yingmei's confession?The maid beside Qiu Zizhen said to Yingmei: The people behind me can make Liu Qi shut up forever.

There are two possibilities. The first is to speak harshly, to make Yingmei believe that they have something to rely on, so as to strengthen Yingmei's courage, and the second is to really have this ability.

Chu Yan tends to be the latter, because the maid said "the person behind me", not "my master".

If she just spoke harshly, the maid would subconsciously say "my master". Anyway, Yingmei doesn't know whose servant she is, but she said "the person behind", which seems to be a subconscious way of saying, It is very likely that there is someone behind Qiu Zizhen.

In other words, someone took advantage of the Qiu family's brother and sister's grievances with Liu Qi and asked Qiu Zizhen to encourage Yingmei on his behalf. Qiu Zizhen might have been jealous because of the embarrassing thing, so she was naturally willing to do it.In this way, even if Chu Yan went to investigate, most of them could only find Qiu Zizhen's level, and the people behind them could not only achieve their goals, but also completely get rid of their ties.

The biggest change in this matter should be on Chu Yan.

Who would have thought that Chu Yan, who should be the most angry, would not doubt Liu Qi at all?If it were someone else, they might be so angry that they would lose their minds at this time, and they might not be able to kill Yingmei directly in agitation, and they would not care about stopping the rumors.

Speaking of motives, once this incident happened, Liu Qi would be the most affected, but although there are many people who have personal grievances with Liu Qi, they would have been framed long ago, especially when Liu Qi just got married, it might work Even better, why wait until the relationship between King An and Liu Qi is well known before trying to frame him?

Thinking about it this way, this matter might be aimed at Liu Wen. As long as the rumor reaches Emperor Chengxing's ears, he can't just dislike Liu Qi, and Liu Wen will also be involved.You must know that Emperor Cheng Xing personally ordered this marriage, and there was a lot of trouble after this incident, wouldn't it be like slapping him in the face in public, can Liu Wen be let go in anger?

Maybe it was aimed at him, after all, if he really fell for the trap, the whole palace would definitely be in trouble for a long time.

Chu Yan couldn't help standing up, pacing back and forth.

He is good at thinking far-reaching things, so he began to think about what would be the result expected by the people behind him if it was aimed at him: the princess would be divorced or even given to death, Chu Yan and Rentinghou would become enemies, and "King An" would become even more serious. Being looked down upon by the ministers in the court and the people in Beijing, the emperor will definitely not accept another man if he thinks about accepting the concubine for Chu Yan, which may deepen the conflict between the father and son. But he couldn't tolerate Liu Qi, which caused conflicts to arise in advance.

Thinking about it this way, the people behind it may not really want to do it when they say that they want Liu Qi to shut up. The best result is that Chu Yan believes that Liu Qi is innocent, but the emperor who heard the rumors does not believe it, even if the emperor believes it, In the face of many people, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, it is impossible for him to tolerate Liu Qi. When the time comes, father and son will become enemies...

However, now that the right minister is dismounted, and Chu He and Chu Rui are fighting each other in the court every day, who has the leisure to stare at their Prince An's mansion?He is a good-for-nothing idle king, what good would it do to kill him?

Chu Yan paused suddenly, and suddenly thought of something.

Xinqing and Chen Su didn't dare to disturb Chu Yan, and they stood quietly by the side as vases.Seeing the master suddenly stop, Xinqing couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you have an idea?"

As soon as Chu Yan regained his senses, he remembered that Chen Su was still waiting for his order, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Go...send someone to keep an eye on Qiu's mansion, and report to me every move and every outsider you see, especially Qiu Zihua. The two brothers and sisters Qiu Zizhen and their maid attendants, and..." Chu Yan added in a strange way, "Check carefully the maid with the hand strap...and Cen Shuang."

Xinqing was taken aback: "Cen Shuang?"

It's okay to check that maidservant, but what's the matter with Guan Cen's mansion?

Chu Yan briefly explained his guess, and said: "It is very possible that someone is behind the scenes, but how do they know that Qiu Zizhen has a grudge with the palace? The people behind it are not simple. Qiu Zizhen is from a common people's family. Girl, can you climb up to such a high level of relationship for no reason? Not many people know about what Qiu Zizhen did in the hunting ground, and she herself can't spread it everywhere. So it is only possible that someone saw Qiu Zizhen being sent away by Mrs. Liu , Guessed something was wrong, so I went to ask someone. Naturally, it is impossible for the Liu family to say, let alone you, Cen Qingqing is the future daughter-in-law of the Liu family, she knows the seriousness..."

Xinqing understood: "It is very likely that Mr. Cen Shuang revealed it. Mr. Cen has always been at odds with Mr. Liu, and as a member of Cen's family, he knows more than others, even if Mrs. Cen does not tell him everything. After passing by, he can also guess seven or eight."

Chen Su, who was listening next to him, already had a respectful expression on his face. He is really a powerful prince, so little information has been released so much.

After Xinqing finished speaking, he caught Chu Yan's gaze and immediately understood, saluted and was about to retreat, but when he was almost at the door, Chen Su turned back again with a hesitant expression.

Chu Yan: "Say it."

"It's about the child Yingmei left behind. I don't know... what the prince plans to do with it."

Chu Yan paused slightly, pondered for a moment before saying: "Let's stay here, find someone to take it with you, and use the money Yingmei collected from the maidservant of the Qiu family to hire him a doctor to buy medicine, and see if he can survive. Come down, and when he grows up a bit, he will be released from the mansion as a gift."

Chen Su secretly sighed in his heart: Sure enough, the prince is kind-hearted.

Almost on the front and back, as soon as Chen Su left, a father-in-law came to the palace, and it was said that King An and Princess An had entered the palace to have an audience.

It’s not out of kindness that the prince didn’t kill the little baby. The main reason is that there is no such thing as sitting in a row in modern times. Our prince’s principle will not change. As for why Yingmei was frightened by saying "Zhu Jiu Clan" - we will know in the next chapter.
