The Chu family's carriage left the capital before dawn.

On the city wall, Gu Changqing put his cloak on Chu Yu's shoulder and comforted softly: "The battle between imperial power is so cruel. After understanding this, your sister and brother will grow up quickly, which is also a wealth in their lives."

Chu Yu tightened the cloak on her body and nodded.

The city wall was still a little cool in the morning, especially in late autumn, when the cold wind seemed to blow into the cracks of the bones.

"Go back, staying for a long time will catch a cold." Gu Changqing hugged Chu Yu and walked down the city tower.

As soon as he walked to the carriage, he saw Damao approaching with a bad expression and said, "Something happened to the East Palace."

Gu Changqing did not mean to avoid Chu Yu and asked directly: "What's the matter, but it's okay."

"Concubine Liu died suddenly in the cold palace last night. The imperial physician found that he was poisoned. However, the guards found the corresponding poison in the study of His Royal Highness of the Eastern Palace... Now, His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince has been summoned to Qingliang Palace for questions, and Empress Chen has been kneeling outside the hall to shout for justice."

"It's fast enough." Chu Yu's voice was cold and he turned to look at Gu Changqing, "Are you going to enter the palace?"

Gu Changqing shook his head, "You can't enter the palace at will without an imperial edict, let alone such a thing. However, I may have to go to Prince Rong's mansion."

Chu Yu nodded, tightened his cloak, and said, "You go and do your business. Don't worry about me, I will go home directly."

Gu Changqing wanted to say something, but saw Chu Yu laughing and said, "Since ancient times, there have been many battles in imperial power. As long as the crown prince wins, the Chu and Gu families can be truly safe and sound."

Gu Changqing pursed his lips and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, we won't have anything to do." After that, he instructed Da Mao to send Chu Yu back to his house, and he left by himself.

Looking at his departure back, Chu Yu felt extremely panicked.

In her previous life, she didn't know much about the things in the palace, and she knew very little about Empress Dowager Liu and others. She just felt that as her biological mother, Empress Chen chose to sacrifice her daughter in the face of interests, which made her always worried.

But now that she has lived for a lifetime, she no longer hates Emperor Qinghe and Empress Chen. She only thinks of the prince’s safety and the Chu family is safe.

"Miss Chu, I will send you back to my house." Damao raised the curtain of the car and signaled Chu Yu to get on the horse.

Chu Yu did not hesitate, and after getting on the carriage, he ordered: "Can you invite your lady to Chu's house to talk?"

Da Mao was stunned, then understood and said respectfully: "I will go over and convey it."

Although Chu Yu and Gu Changqing had an engagement, they had not yet gotten married, so it was difficult to visit Gu's family rashly.

But Miss Gu can come to the Chu family to play. Even if others know about it, they can't say anything.

As soon as Chu Yu returned home, Gu Changling appeared in the hall, "I heard that the Chu family has left Beijing? Fortunately, they left quickly, and the situation is not very good."

As soon as Gu Changqing entered the door, he couldn't help but sigh, "My grandfather said this morning. If the Chu family leaves two days later, they may be implicated."

Chu Yu pulled Gu Changling to sit down, feeling a little uneasy.

"Chang Ling, can you give me some of the medicine powder you made for me before? The Liu family is already forced to do something."

Gu Changling picked up a small bag from his side and handed it out, "I'm just thinking about it when I come here this time."

Chu Yu opened the small bag and looked at it. There were several small porcelain bottles inside, and labels were all labeled on them. She looked carefully and found that she could really use them.

He decisively expressed his sincerest gratitude to Gu Changling, "Now the Gu family is also on the target of public criticism. You must take good care of yourself."

Gu Changling nodded, "Sister Chu, don't worry, it's you... grandfather asked me to tell you that you are the only one left in the Chu family in the capital now. I really don't feel at ease with you and want to invite you to live in the Gu family."

Chu Yu shook his head quickly, "I'm not married yet, so it's not good to live in this way. Although the situation is a bit unoptimistic, nothing has happened yet."

Gu Changling naturally thought of this, "Since that's the case, then I won't force it. My brother and third brother said that he would send secret guards and guards to protect Sister Chu. Sister Chu would rest in the mansion on weekdays and don't go out."

Chu Yu nodded.

After seeing off Gu Changling, Chu Yu packed the small porcelain bottles in different categories, and arranged the defense range of the guards that Da Mao had just led in.

Now she is the only one left in the Chu family. There are leopards walking back and forth in Linshuixuan, and few people can rush in rashly.

Those guards were mainly responsible for the outer precautions of Linshuixuan. As long as the Chu family mansion was guarded like an iron bucket, there was no need to worry about someone hiding into Linshuixuan.

Every night when Gu Changqing got off the yamen, he would come to the Chu family to have dinner, and then chat with Chu Yu for a while before returning to the Gu family.

On this day, the moon was on the willow branches, Chu Yu looked at Gu Changqing reluctantly, "It's getting late, it's time to go back."

Gu Changqing pointed her little nose, naturally knowing her reluctance. "Although the situation in the court is unstable, your Majesty's trust in the Crown Prince is indestructible. I think the position of the Crown Prince will be very stable."

Chu Yu's heart finally relaxed and fell steadily. During this period, she was always worried that something might happen to the prince, but fortunately, her father was not really that confused.

"The incident of Concubine Liu being poisoned was finally found out that it was the second princess who had been exiled."

When Gu Changqing said this, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

In fact, he didn't really believe that the second princess would do such a thing because the other party had no courage and ability.

If she had this courage, she would not have been bullied by Concubine Liu and Miss Liu's family, and she was just a scapegoat.

"The culprit is Empress Liu, right? Abandon the car to protect the coach." Chu Yu said without any concealment. Gu Changqing was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly, "Yu'er, it would be great if you were stupid."

Yes, the more you know these dirty struggles in the palace, the more you feel chilled.

Concubine Liu is the niece of Empress Dowager Liu. She relies on each other and supports each other until today.

Now, seeing that Concubine Liu was sent to the cold palace, the situation was hopeless, in order to preserve Lu Liunian's status, he directly poisoned his mother to death.

"Do your second prince know the truth?" Chu Yu's voice was a little dry.

In fact, it was a waste of time to ask. The second prince lives in the Empress Dowager's Palace now, so how could he not know the other party's every move?

It's just pretending to be confused and sacrificed his mother to protect herself.

"Are Empress Dowager Liu afraid that the Second Highness will hold a grudge against her?"

Even if I am cowardly, I will not prevent these tragedies from happening, but once the Second Prince becomes in power one day, I will definitely count these mistakes on Empress Dowager Liu.

"Empress Dowager Liu is evenly matched with Emperor Qinghe, so how could she really take His Highness the Second Highness seriously? It's just a puppet in her hand. She needs His Highness to be her own puppet alive. If even the puppet dies, how could she interfere in the affairs of the government? As for what happened after His Highness became powerful... the puppet will never be able to turn out of the hunter's palm."

Gu Changqing's voice came cleanly, and Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his ears, but he could not refute it.
