Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 135: Do Not Surrender the Right to Send Troops

Chu Qianyu woke up early the next day and calculated the time. There were only six days left before the wedding. As it was getting closer, she suddenly felt a little nervous.

Shaking his head, he decided not to think too much. After getting up and washing up, Shao Ying walked in quickly and said, "Miss, there's news from the Situ Mansion."

"explain."

"The fourth elder was summoned to the palace by the emperor last night to inquire about your poisoning. And Ming Zixi has had our people pretending to be her to pass messages these days, and the fourth elder did not find anything unusual."

"Do you know what the emperor and the four elders talked about specifically?"

Shao Ying shook her head and said, "The Emperor only called the Fourth Elder into the Yangxin Palace, and also into the secret room, so our people couldn't spy on him. And there were many hidden secret guards outside. It was not easy to take action. But after the Fourth Elder came back, he contacted Ming Zixi, and then we knew that the Emperor wanted to know how long it would take for the poison to take effect on you."

Chu Qianyu lowered her head and pondered after hearing this. It seemed that the emperor was annoyed by the provocation against Mo Yinan yesterday. He was eager to control the Situ family so that he could compete with Mo Yinan as soon as possible.

He quickly sorted out his thoughts, stood up and said, "Let's go to father's yard to have breakfast first."

Yunying has been taking care of Chu Jun in his room these days, and their relationship has gradually begun to return to normal.

The petal on Chu Qianyu's arm that belonged to the second task is now gradually fading, and it seems to be having some effect.

Soon they arrived at Chu Jun's courtyard. The servants had already prepared breakfast, and Chu Jun and Yun Ying had just sat down when they saw Chu Qianyu walk in.

Yunying smiled and said, "You came at the right time. How was your rest last night? Were you affected by the poison yesterday?"

Chu Qianyu first bowed slightly to the two of them, then replied: "My daughter rested well and was not affected." After saying that, she slowly walked to the chair and sat down.

"That's good. Let's have dinner together. You need to eat more. You've lost weight visibly after all the hard work these days." Yunying looked at her with pity in her eyes.

"Okay." Chu Qianyu agreed obediently.

After finishing the meal, Chu Qianyu looked at Chu Jun and said, "Is father going to court soon?"

"Well, we should go tomorrow."

"Father, you must be mentally prepared when you go there tomorrow. Now that our family is married to the Regent, the Emperor may find a way to make you hand over your military power." After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, she pursed her lips and looked at Chu Jun with a serious face.

Chu Jun seemed not to care and said, "It's okay, just hand it over. Father is also thinking about stepping down slowly. There are always talented people emerging in every generation, and there will always be better ones to take over. It just so happens that I can spare more time to accompany your mother."

"Father, you think too simply of the emperor. I think that now that you hold the military power, at least the emperor will not do anything to you. If you were useless and married my mother, how do you think the emperor would suppress you in the future?"

"And what the Queen did, do you really think the Emperor didn't know about it? Without the Emperor's permission, how could the Queen extend her hand so far and do things so flawlessly? You stayed away from home for ten years not long after you married your mother. Have you ever thought that someone didn't want you to come back?"

These words seemed to suddenly awaken the dreamer. They had never thought about these things before. They only thought that they would definitely protect the country for the emperor if they were valued by him.

Now with Qianqian's words, coupled with what happened in recent days, everything seemed to make sense again.

Chu Qianyu continued to analyze: "And last time the emperor asked you, father, to go and suppress the bandits, the queen also knew about this matter of the previous dynasty and even arranged for someone to frame you on the way, so that the woman would pledge herself to you. Isn't this obvious enough? So everything the queen did was secretly supported by the emperor, so it was so smooth."

"Mother should be more clear about the emperor's attitude yesterday. If there was no regent, the emperor would definitely indulge the queen, and in the end it would just be a way to keep the peace. So my daughter hopes that father can consider the family and not hand over the military power." After saying this, Chu Qianyu looked at the two of them, waiting for them to think it through and make a decision.

After a moment, Chu Jun slammed the table and said firmly, "Qianqian is right. Father cannot hand over the military power, otherwise he will become a lamb to be slaughtered. Fortunately, you reminded father. Otherwise, if the emperor mentions it in court tomorrow and father agrees without thinking, it will be too late to regret it."

Yunying also nodded in agreement and said, "Well, Qianqian seems to see things more clearly now than before." After saying that, she looked at Chu Qianyu. She always vaguely felt that all these changes seemed to have started after Wang Man's death.

Qianqian has become a little different from before, not as dependent, timid and crybaby as before. She is now smart and courageous, and she even proposed to seek justice for Concubine De when the emperor was about to end the matter yesterday.

Thinking of this, she looked at Chu Qianyu with a hint of scrutiny and some confusion.

Chu Qianyu suddenly felt guilty. The mark on her arm was numb, as if it could sense what she was thinking. She wanted to rush out eagerly.

She quickly reached out to hold down her arm, regaining her composure, and looked at Yunying without wavering, saying, "My daughter has grown up, so mother and father should be happy, right? Besides, we have been through so much these days. How can I not make any progress? Wouldn't that disappoint my mother's expectations of her daughter?"

"Besides, my daughter is about to marry the Regent, so she has to learn to be more stable and mature. Otherwise, it would be bad if she offends people in the Regent's Palace. After all, there is no such tolerance for her daughter as at home with a father and mother."

Yunying raised her hand and patted the back of Chu Qianyu's hand. She felt a little guilty. What was she thinking just now? Her daughter was still as well-behaved and filial as usual. Why did she doubt her daughter?

Many words came to my lips, but in the end, they were all condensed into one sentence: "Qianqian, you have suffered a lot these days."

Chu Jun also looked at her and said, "The wedding date is coming soon, so you should take a good rest these few days. Don't work too hard, your father and your mother will take care of the rest."

"Okay." Chu Qianyu nodded in agreement.

As they were chatting, they saw Li Jing, whose eyes were narrowed into slits with laughter, walk in with Chu Yuanshuang and said, "Hey! You are all here."

After coming in, he found a chair and sat down without caring about anything, while Chu Yuanshuang stood aside shyly.

Chu Qianyu originally wanted to talk to her father and mother about other things, but when she saw Li Jing coming, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

Yunying looked at Li Jing and asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Oh, look at what my sister-in-law said. We are all family, so we should visit each other more often. I heard that the emperor conferred you the title of second-rank official and also rewarded Qianyu with a lot of things. So I came here this morning to congratulate you." Li Jing's words, coupled with her smile, sounded extremely flattering.

"Well, thank you very much." Yunying responded lightly and said nothing more.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and a little awkward.

Seeing that the others had no intention of paying attention to her, Li Jing showed a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She remembered that she came here today to ask them something, so she had to suppress her inner displeasure.
