marriage contract

Mrs. Chu still hasn't forgotten what happened two days ago. Jin Lu and Gu Chengzhi have a good relationship, and Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi got mixed up again. The scolding he suffered was the two of them who encouraged Jin Lu to do it. of.

If Chu Junyi knew what old master Chu was thinking, he would definitely say: Narcissism is a disease, which can be cured.

But Chu Junyi didn't have the ability to read minds. Seeing the stern face of the old lady Chu, he had no choice but to go forward and salute, and then said: "Two days ago, my grandmother dreamed of my father, and I specially called my grandson to ask about the anniversary of my father's death. After checking it, there is nothing wrong with it, so come here today and tell grandma."

Hearing Chu Junyi mention this matter, the old man Chu also remembered that there was such a thing, he was still muttering at the time, it was just a dream, calling Chu Junyi for a fart, he can Is it possible to summon souls and interpret dreams, or can they transmit voices to Master Chu San?

Otherwise, women have long hair but short knowledge, and Mrs. Chu just thinks too much, she is just full of food.

Chu Junyi stood upright with his head down, pretending to be listening to the teachings, but he was still outside now. He was unwilling and would never embarrass the old lady Chu at this time.

Seeing him standing respectfully in front of him, the old master Chu felt a little uncomfortable. This child is the only blood of his son, but he really doesn't like this grandson very much, because he almost killed the Chu family, even if he wanted to like him I can't like it.

However, the crisis of the Chu family's extinct heir has been resolved, and the old master Chu didn't intend to show his face to him anymore, so he passed him into the inner courtyard after snorting twice.

Chu Junyi only raised his head when he couldn't see the figure of Old Master Chu at all, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and followed with a sigh.

Mrs. Chu was not surprised by Chu Junyi's arrival. She glanced at Mrs. Chu who was sitting beside her, and then looked away.

Chu Junyi walked closer and met her gaze.

The old lady Chu's attitude was still indifferent, but Chu Junyi didn't care. After saluting, she sat down and told about the death date of the third master Chu and what happened after that.

The old lady Chu was bored, so she interjected a few words, but was blocked by the old lady Chu.

Old Master Chu was not very interested in what Chu Junyi said, so he got up and left after sitting for a while.

Seeing him go out of the yard, the old lady Chu glanced at the maids who were waiting beside her. The maids got the instructions and quickly retreated out.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Chu Junyi took out a medicine bottle and handed it over.

The old lady Chu took the medicine bottle and shook it lightly. If it wasn't a pill or a potion, it should be a medicine powder.

Chu Junyi saw her movements, and said in a low voice: "Yu Ji made it, and after taking it, he will fall asleep. It is more effective when paired with tea. The effect of the medicine is more than twelve hours."

"Immediate effect?" Mrs. Chu glanced at the medicine bottle in her hand.

Chu Junyi smiled and said, "Of course not, it will happen in half an hour."

The old lady Chu nodded and put away the medicine bottle.

"And this." Chu Junyi took out another medicine bottle and handed it over, "This is the antidote, just in case."

The old lady Chu did not speak, and reached out to take the medicine bottle.

"Actually, I came here today to ask my grandmother to do me another favor." Chu Junyi said.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Chu asked.

Chu Junyi considered for two seconds, and took out a medicine bottle again.

"How much medicine did you bring?" Mrs. Chu showed a hint of sarcasm on her face.

Chu Junyi smiled and said, "I didn't bring much."

The old lady Chu snorted coldly, "What do you want me to do?"

"I don't want my grandfather to go out again, so I can only trouble him to rest at home for a few days." Chu Junyi looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

The old lady Chu frowned slightly, as if thinking of something.

Chu Junyi smiled and shook his head, got up and stuffed the medicine bottle into the old lady Chu's hand, and said softly, "Grandpa is resting at home, it's good for everyone."

The old lady Chu stared at him for a while, then put away the medicine bottle in her hand.

"Grandmother, don't worry, this medicine only makes people feel weak and weak. It's not poison." Chu Junyi laughed softly.

The old lady Chu said with a blank face: "It is poison." She would rather be a widow.

Chu Junyi shook his head with a smile, the old man Chu cannot die, at least not now, and in the near future...it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies.

After negotiating with Mrs. Chu, Chu Junyi left the Marquis of Ji'an directly. Who knows whether Mrs. Chu would come to talk to him on a whim. You must know that he hasn't set foot in Mrs. Chu's yard for a long time. It is because of him.

The fact is indeed so, less than a quarter of an hour after Chu Junyi left, the old lady Chu went back and forth, but after learning that Chu Junyi had left, he kicked over two chairs in anger, without looking at the old lady Chu Then walk away.

Seeing his leaving back, Mrs. Chu rubbed the medicine bottle in her hand, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It was three days after the news that Mrs. Chu was ill in bed, Mrs. Chu did not choose to use the medicine on the day she got it, and she did not want to have anything to do with Chu Junyi.

The imperial physician came to see the doctor and prescribe the prescription, and the servants took care of him very attentively, but even after drinking the decoction for a few days, they did not get better. In the end, the imperial physician politely said: "It's like this when you get older."

After Chu Junyi heard what the imperial doctor said, he couldn't help but sneered, he was just too old, he couldn't tell right from wrong, black from right, and the thing on his neck was just a decoration, and he had to take it off sooner or later.

Previously, he followed the old master Chu's "friends" down, and he really found out something.

Prince Yu's rebellion is imminent, and his private actions are getting bigger and bigger, and the people under his hands are gradually becoming impatient.

At this time, Chu Junyi felt a sense of fear, because the more things he came into contact with, the more worried he became.

Just picking out one of the things that Old Master Chu has done can convict him, and when the liquidation comes, he will be punished for several crimes. Even if he did not participate in the rebellion, the final result will not be much better.

Sometimes Chu Junyi also thinks, so much evidence is there, can he deal with it all?

In the final analysis, it still depends on how the emperor handles this matter.

The old man Chu has been blind all his life, dragging the Chu family to death non-stop, and the only thing he has done that is beneficial to the Chu family is probably the marriage between him and Gu Chengzhi.

Chu Junyi thought about this idea for a while, and then told Gu Chengzhi in a joking tone.

Gu Chengzhi smiled after hearing this, he didn't seem to care, but he gave Chu Junyi a good meal when he went to bed at night.

The next day, Chu Junyi woke up after sleeping until the sun was high, rubbing his old waist and grinding his teeth, didn't he just complain that marrying him would be like marrying a princess, why is he so stingy.

In fact, it is not entirely correct to say that it is Princess Shang, even if it is a son-in-law, if he participates in the rebellion, he will still die, and at most the princess and her children will be left behind.

And he and Gu Chengzhi got married, and the emperor was willing to let the Chu family go, which is more suitable than Princess Shang.

During this period of time, they were so busy that they beat the back of their heads. They wished they could have 36 hours a day. It was rare for him to steal half a day of leisure. Chu Junyi rolled around on the bed twice, and finally got up obediently.

Prince Yu set the date of rebellion on August [-]th, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

Regarding this, Chu Junyi was speechless for a long time. What is the meaning of rebellion by choosing this day? Do you want to wipe out all the members of the royal family?

Chu Junyi did ask Gu Chengzhi: "If that day comes, what will Prince Yu do if he has not rebelled?"

Gu Chengzhi smiled at him and said: "No better, the emperor can take care of him after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Chu Junyi thought about it, and felt that what he said was right. Prince Yu's health was getting worse day by day, and if he didn't do anything, he probably would have no chance.

If you really moved your hands on the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would be easy to clean up; if you didn't do it that day, the emperor can still celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Speaking of which, Prince Yu has also reached the age of hearing, but his actions have no meaning of hearing at all.

In recent years, his temperament has become more irritable, he can't listen to any harsh words, and he can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others. There are loopholes in his power, and he doesn't seem to notice when he is put into a nail.

I don't know if it's because he knows that he has no hope just to avoid regrets, or because he has so much confidence that he feels that the throne is at his fingertips. Anyway, his recent actions seem a little crazy, not at all like that stable Prince Yu.

Chu Junyi wanted to tell the old lady Chu about the time, and told her to keep an eye on the door on that day, and never let anyone out.

The old lady Chu agreed, and began to deliver ginseng soup and herbal tea to each room the next night.

On the night of August [-]th, Mrs. Chu's confidant girl stared at the owners of each house and drank the bowl of herbal tea before returning to Mrs. Chu's place to report.

Half an hour later, the owners of each house were all sleepy, they changed their clothes and rested one after another, but none of them noticed that something was wrong.

An hour later, a group of people divided into several groups and went to each house to stun all the maids and women, then guarded in the courtyard, closed the door and locked it, and waited for the dawn.

The main gate of the Marquis of Ji'an's mansion was closed tightly, and the back gates of the remaining corner gates were all closed, and two teams of people stood guard in front of each gate and the servants' rooms respectively.

Mrs. Chu went to Mrs. Chu's place in person, watched him drink the herbal tea, and waited until the effect of the medicine took effect before getting up and leaving.

All the servants waiting in Mrs. Chu's courtyard have been subdued, drugged and thrown into the servant's room, the door is closed and locked, and a few people are assigned to watch them by the way, and they will continue to be drugged if there is any sign of waking up.

The old lady Chu walked out of the room and looked up at the moon hanging in the sky. Tomorrow will be August [-]th, and there is only these things she can do.

There were quite a few people standing in the courtyard, and when they saw Mrs. Chu, their attitudes were very respectful.

"You stay here. If someone trespasses, you will be beaten to death with a stick." The old lady Chu has no expression on her face, but what she said makes people feel cold for no reason.

"Yes!" The people in the courtyard said in unison.

The old lady Chu nodded, and returned to her yard with the girl and the guards.

After a night of nothing to say, when the old lady Chu woke up, she couldn't help being stunned for a while, it was already the [-]th of August, success or failure depended on it, and she didn't know what was going on with Chu Junyi.

Regarding the situation of the Chu family, Chu Junyi did not get any information, because the old lady Chu had already controlled the Chu family, and no one could come in and out at will.

When he learned that the main gate of the Marquis of Ji'an's mansion was closed and the other doors were also closed, Chu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could hold on, it would be fine after tonight.

Even if it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month, whether he should go to court or go to court, he should still be on errands. As for Chu Junyi, who has no official position, he followed Qin An's side continuously.

No matter how calm the sea was on the surface, the undercurrent hidden under the calm never stopped. The information was handed over to them, and then they decided whether to send it to the palace or to whom.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a family banquet in the palace in the evening, but all members of the royal family must attend.

The sky had already dimmed, and Chu Junyi walked quickly between the veranda and the house, only a dozen meters away from where he was going, and his pace quickened a bit.

Calculating the time, the family banquet in the palace should have already started, and Prince Yu... probably will start to act too.

Just when he had just passed the corner, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a glimmer of light from the corner of his eye, and the glimmer of light flashed by, Chu Junyi's heart trembled, he stopped abruptly, and as soon as he ducked down, he heard a crisp "Dang" sound. With a sound, a dagger passed through the place where he was standing, and was nailed straight to the pillar.

The blade of the dagger was still glowing with a slight blue light. The person holding the dagger was wearing a black night clothes, his face was covered with a black cloth, his eyes were cold, and he pulled out the dagger with a twist of his wrist.

As soon as Chu Junyi stood firm, the dagger followed closely. He dodged sideways and hit the wall with his back. He almost blurted out a muffled groan, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed the sound. Fortunately, the dagger The dagger only scratched his sleeve, but did not hurt his flesh.

After two consecutive blows failed to kill the man, the man's face darkened in an instant, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by ruthlessness. He stepped forward and planned to strike again.

Seeing that the dagger was about to kiss his throat, Chu Junyi gasped for breath, and his pupils shrank.
