After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 405 Seeking Help from Zhao Qingcheng

Chu Yanran's face was gloomy and she turned her head away immediately.

"What do you mean?"

"Mom, I don't mean anything, I just feel that...even strangers wouldn't hate my ninth brother as much as you do."

"Yes, I hate him!" Chu Yanran said gritting her teeth.

"When I saw him, I thought of that bitch Lianhua. She almost cost me my life in order to give birth to him!"

"So, I wish he would die!"

Chen Bijun looked at Chu Yanran, shook her head and said, "Mother, these are just your angry words. What my ninth brother did to our family was indeed treasonous in your eyes."

"But from his perspective, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong."

"Do you know why he didn't return to the Huainan Palace? Because his life could not be guaranteed in the palace."

"You mean I will kill him? How foolish!" Chu Yanran was furious, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!"

"No, I can promise not to kill him, but what about the others?"

Chen Bijun shook her head and said, "My ninth brother was poisoned in our house."

"Poison???"

Chu Yanran was shocked and stood up quickly.

"My eldest sister, fourth sister and I all know about this, and we have tested everyone, and in the end..."

Chen Bijun gritted her teeth and said nothing more.

Chu Yanran already understood what she meant: "You said Sheng'er poisoned him?"

"After thinking about it, the most likely suspect is Sheng Er."

Chen Bijun nodded and said, "At that time, Sheng'er's identity had not been exposed. He regarded Ninth Brother as a potential enemy. If Ninth Brother died, wouldn't the Huainan Palace fall into his hands?"

"Also, Fourth Sister has also researched poisons and Sheng'er's whereabouts. He is the one who has the best chance of framing Ninth Brother."

"impossible!"

Chu Yanran immediately refused to do it and waved her hand, saying, "My son would never do that!"

"My son, I know!"

"Mom, do you really know how to have a baby?" Chen Shuting couldn't help but interrupt.

"Remember back then, you said that my ninth brother was trash, a waste, and would never amount to anything in his life? But what about now?"

"My ninth brother is the top scholar in the imperial examination, and he is rich enough to rival an entire country. Even the emperor wants to marry his two daughters to him... Doesn't that mean you made a mistake in your judgment?"

"Mom, wake up!"

"Your enemy has never been Ninth Brother, but Chen Fusheng!"

Snapped!

Chu Yanran refused to listen and slapped Chen Shuting hard.

"Don't stir up trouble between me and Sheng'er. He won't harm me!"

"Listen to me, both of you. I will treat Chen Hanzi as dead and bury him. If you dare to resist me, get out of the Chu family!"

Chen Bijun knelt on the ground in front of Chu Yanran, shook her head and said, "Mom, even if you want to kick me out of the house, I will still tell you!"

"Chen Fusheng's actions may seem unintentional, but they are actually intentional!"

"It is your attitude that has brought my ninth brother to where he is today!"

Chu Yanran was furious, her eyes bloodshot: "Okay, okay, the appearance of Chen Changan is not enough, Chen Hongluo betrayed me, you guys are trying to follow their old path!"

"Okay, okay, Chen Bijun, Chen Shuting, don't think that the Chu family can't do without you!"

"Get out of here, I don't want to see you again!"

"mother……"

"Get out!" Chu Yanran said sternly, "Otherwise, apologize to me!"

Chen Bijun's lips moved, but Chen Shuting helped her second sister up: "Mom, it's impossible for us to apologize, because we are not wrong, it's you who is wrong!"

"Blindly trust Chen Fusheng, sooner or later you will pay the price!"

Chu Yanran’s ferocious gaze seemed to be able to eat people!

Chen Shuting didn't even pack her valuables and led Chen Bijun out of the Chu family.

Looking back, I heard some noise in the room.

"You bastard, you ungrateful bastard!"

"For twenty whole years, I have raised you in vain. In vain!"

"Go, go, die outside and see if I will feel bad!"

When I came outside, the sky was full of stars.

The helpless sisters were walking on the road. Chen Bijun sighed, "Fourth sister, you can learn more advanced medical skills in the Imperial Hospital. Without the Huainan Palace, how can you go there?"

"I don't care how many people I can save, but I'm wondering... is my mother poisoned?"

Chen Bijun was silent, shook her head and said, "Mother was not poisoned, it's just... she loved giving birth to a child too much and was blinded by it."

"Sister, I... don't want to stay in this country anymore."

Chen Shuting shook her head and said painfully, "I can even foresee the scene where my mother will be framed by Chen Fusheng in the future. No matter who wins between my ninth brother and Chen Fusheng, I... will find it difficult to accept the result."

"Me too." Chen Bijun smiled bitterly, "But how easy is it to go abroad?"

"It's easy." Chen Shuting smiled.

"I heard that the emperor is gathering people and wants to go to Goguryeo. It is said that He Fengxian is also going there."

“Is this an opportunity for me?”

"Even if it is, how can you be sure?" Chen Bijun shook her head and said, "Are you sure you can convince my ninth brother?"

"I didn't, but I can finally talk to my ninth brother." Chen Shuting smiled sadly, "If all else fails, don't we still have Empress Zhaolie?"

"Shall we go find our eldest sister and then beg Empress Zhaolie?"

Chen Bijun moved her lips, as if... it was not impossible.

Silent all night.

The next day, Chen Changan got up early. After Sun Jingyi gave him a bath and changed his clothes, Chen Changan planned to go to the palace to bring Zhao Qingcheng back to his mansion.

But as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Zhao Qingcheng's carriage parked in front of the car.

Chen Changan smiled inside: "My wife, you are already home, why don't you go in? And, didn't I say I would pick you up?"

Chen Changan got on the imperial carriage, lifted the door curtain, but his face darkened.

Sitting at the head was Zhao Qingcheng, who was wearing a scarlet phoenix robe with exquisite phoenix and auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on it with golden silk threads. The phoenix had a graceful posture and was surrounded by auspicious clouds, as if it could take off into the sky at any time.

She wore a golden belt around her waist, which sparkled in the sun, and her long skirt dragged on the ground like a gorgeous cloud.

Beside her, Chen Hongluo, Chen Bijun, and Chen Shuting were kneeling quietly. Even when Chen Changan came in, they did not stand up.

"Are you three just sitting around doing nothing?"

"Who told you that you can disturb my wife?"

"Old horse!"

Chen Changan's eyes flashed with anger, but Zhao Qingcheng waved her hand and said, "Chen Lang, don't get angry first. Um... I missed my aunt and the others, so I asked them to come over and see me."

"The ugly daughter-in-law must meet your relatives."

Facing Zhao Qingcheng, Chen Changan certainly lost his temper: "Qingcheng, who said you are ugly? I don't want you to know my family, mainly because I don't want you to suffer. Let them go?"

Zhao Qingcheng shook her head: "You left in a state of anxiety yesterday, probably because of something at home."

"Chen Lang, you and I are of one mind, so I will naturally handle your affairs for you."

"no……"

"Chen Lang, don't say anything." Zhao Qingcheng shook her head and smiled, "Come to think of it, you've never cooked a meal for me. I want to try your cooking skills."

Cooking is a piece of cake for Chen Changan, as he has been cooking for himself over the years.

Chen Changan could only nod and say, "My lady has given my orders, so I will obey them."

Chen Changan turned around and got out of the car. Before leaving, he did not forget to warn: "Listen to me, don't tell Qingcheng everything, and be careful with your words!"

Watching Chen Changan leave, Chen Hongluo and the others looked at each other.

Finally, it was Chen Hongluo who said, "Empress Zhaolie, I have never seen my ninth brother be so obedient."

Zhao Qingcheng shook her head and smiled: "You have seen it before, didn't Chen Changan often cook for you in the past?"

Thinking of the past, Chen Hongluo sighed: "Queen Zhaolie, please forgive me. I never knew how to cherish in the past. I said... after my ninth brother left our palace."

Zhao Qingcheng nodded and smiled: "Don't call me Empress Zhaolie, that's my mother, not me."

"Big sister, second sister, fourth sister, let's go inside and talk."

"While my husband is cooking, tell me the whole story. How did he...cause such a mess to happen with the palace?"

Chen Hongluo nodded and followed Zhao Qingcheng into the living room.

Zhao Qingcheng ordered Zhao Yan to guard the door, and several people sat down as host and guest.

"Qingcheng, let me talk first. If there are any parts I forgot, my two sisters can fill in the gaps."

"That was when Chang'an was ten years old. I rode a tall horse and took him back to the palace from Ciyoufang."

"Everyone thought this was a lucky start, but it turned out to be a nightmare..."
