Chapter 557 Xiao Yue asks Xiao Yi for help
"Please rest assured, father. I will take good care of Jingyue. As for the talk of getting involved, it is pure nonsense. We are a family, so why would we talk about getting involved?" Chu Changhe said respectfully.
Prince Chu shook his head, "No, Jingyue is already married, and you two have formed a family. You are you, and the Chu Palace is the Chu Palace. Don't mention the word family again in the future."
Before in the court, Chu Changhe acted in an attitude of avoiding suspicion, and he was unhappy in his heart, but now thinking about it, he felt that he should indeed avoid suspicion.
Although he had already prepared for something to happen in the Prince of Chu's Palace, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he never expected it to come so quickly and so violently.
Previously, it was decided that Jingyue would go to Jiangnan, but many things had not been prepared yet, and the date of departure had not been set. Now that the palace had been raided, the trip to Jiangnan might also be ruined. If he could not escape, then Jingyue could only be entrusted to Chu Changhe.
Chu Jingyue felt extremely sad when she heard these words that seemed to draw a line between the two.
"Father, please don't..."
"Shut up!" Prince Chu interrupted Chu Jingyue, "You are a married woman. No matter what happens in the palace, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to the child."
"That's right, Jingyue, you're already married. The affairs of the palace have nothing to do with you. You should go back quickly and don't bother with these trivial matters. Just stay at home and take care of your pregnancy. Your father and I will be fine." The Princess of Chu also spoke immediately.
"Father, Mother, how can I stay out of this situation? I will definitely find a way to save you!"
"Stupid!" Prince Chu scolded with a cold face, glanced at the imperial guards beside him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Father did something wrong, even if he is punished, it is reasonable, but these things have nothing to do with you. If you get involved, it will only make things more troublesome. And you may even implicate your husband. Don't do such a stupid thing!"
Having said that, regardless of Chu Jingyue wanting to speak again, Prince Chu spoke directly to the Imperial Guards next to him.
"Aren't you going to take him into custody? I can leave with you now."
The Imperial Guards took a look at Prince Chu, turned around and walked up to the leader in charge of the search and seizure of Prince Chu's mansion, and began to report and ask for instructions.
Prince Chu took the opportunity to whisper to Chu Jingyue: "As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood. Right now, you must protect yourselves and don't get involved, otherwise our Chu family will be doomed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Royal Guards looked over and asked the person next to him.
"How long will the search take?"
"Your Excellency, it's almost done."
"Okay, then you guys take Prince Chu back first, and the rest of you guys will guard the entire mansion after the palace of Prince Chu is searched thoroughly. No one in the mansion is allowed to go out again. Without the emperor's order, no one is allowed to enter the mansion."
Every word he spoke was powerful and clear. Looking at the royal guards coming and going around him, as well as the pale faces of Prince Chu and Princess Chu, Chu Jingyue felt that breathing was becoming more and more labored.
She wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt dizzy and the next moment, she passed out.
The news that the Prince Chu's Mansion had been searched and Chu Jingyue had fainted at the gate of the Mansion soon spread to the palace.
When Emperor Xiao learned about it, he didn't say much. He just ordered Chu Changhe to rest at home during this period of time, hand over all the government affairs in his hands, and take good care of his pregnant wife.
The incident of Chu Jingyue being pushed down had not been investigated thoroughly. As the news spread, Queen Shi ordered the matter to be put on hold temporarily.
In the harem, Xiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the news.
I thought to myself that what Xiao Yi said was right. Something really happened in the Prince Chu's Mansion.
After thinking it over, she went to see Xiao Yi again.
Jiang Suining's words made her think for a long time, and her heart was very heavy. She didn't want to believe that she had become a feudal ancient person, nor did she want to be a supporter of those feudal ethics, rules and dogmas. However, the only reasons she could find for the time being, or things that could prove that she had not been assimilated, were those related to the Women's Academy.
"If I help you open a girls' college, what good will that do me?"
In the Fourth Prince's mansion, Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yue with a smile on his lips, like the moonlight in the dark night, which looked soft but exuded a chill.
"This matter can make us famous, which will also be good for our fourth brother. After all..."
Xiao Yue's words were interrupted by a sneer. Xiao Yi looked at her with amusement, "Since the Fifth Princess has come to me, then show some sincerity and stop talking nonsense. This prince is not a fool. If I say that I will open a civilian academy so that everyone can go to school, maybe I can gain some reputation. But if I open a girls' academy and let those girls who should have stayed in their boudoirs go to school, I'm afraid that many people will poke holes in my spine."
"You can't say that. Women should study and learn reason. They have the same right to education as men. If my brother can accomplish this, all the women in the world will be grateful to you."
"What's the point of me asking women to be grateful to me?" Xiao Yi's face was full of amusement, and even had a bit of contempt. "A bunch of women in the harem, their gratitude can neither help this prince to have a smooth ride in the court, nor make this prince invincible in the struggle of the court. Sister, your brother doesn't have that much patience. If you don't have other bargaining chips, then don't continue to talk nonsense here."
There was a hint of expulsion in Xiao Yi's tone, and this attitude made Xiao Yue very unhappy. She even wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but she also knew that if she left like this, she might really have no chance.
Exhaling slowly, Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Yi, "As long as my brother can help me achieve my goal, I can naturally help you."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and signaled Xiao Yue to continue.
"I know that my brother wants to deal with Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi. I can stand on your side. Since Jiang Suining cannot be used by me, I don't have to worry about anything. Shen Yanxi is in the former court, and I can't reach her, but Jiang Suining is in the harem. As long as I want, there are ways to deal with her!"
"Like... a snow-viewing banquet?"
"At the Snow Appreciation Banquet, I just wanted to teach Jiang Suining a lesson, so I naturally held back. But now that we've fallen out, I don't have to worry about anything anymore. I can guarantee that Jiang Suining will never have a good life in the palace!"
Xiao Yi showed some interest. Seeing Xiao Yue's expression, he did not rush to agree. Instead, he asked, "Why do you want to set up a girls' academy so much?"
"Of course I want to do something for the women in the world." Xiao Yue answered without thinking.
"Heh..." Xiao Yi laughed again, "Do something for the women of the world? It sounds really good. But in the heart of the imperial sister, is Jiang Suining not among the women of the world?"
Xiao Yue's expression froze, and she felt guilty for a moment, but then she gritted her teeth and said.
"Brother, I came here sincerely today. Do you still want to stand on Jiang Suining's side and blame me?"
"Of course not. I just thought it was interesting, so I asked one more question." Xiao Yi retracted his gaze leisurely, his eyes cold, "Speaking of which, I understood a truth when I was very young. Do you want to know what it is, my sister?"
