Chapter 143 You'd better stay by my side
I was still confused when I first saw him. Maybe Jing Muyang really wanted to be the emperor?
"Chu Yang, I received news yesterday that Xucheng has contacted the War King. The war in the North Sai has ended, but he was injured and is currently recovering in Mulag."
"Injured? Where are you injured? How serious are the injuries? Is your life in danger?" Chu Jian's heart was in his throat.
"I heard that his lungs were injured. Fortunately, there is a miracle doctor by his side, so his life is not in danger. But he has to rest for a long time. There is a heavy snowstorm in the North Sai now, so I guess he won't be able to return to Lingyin Country until spring."
Chu Jian patted his chest. As long as there was no danger to her life, it would be fine. It would be okay if it was the beginning of spring. It just so happened that she would have given birth to a child by then and the river would have been unsealed. She could then take the child directly back to Lingyin Country.
"Fusang, will you let me go then?"
Chu Jian no longer expected Fuso to send her back. Given the confrontation between Lingyin Kingdom and Nanbang, it would be good enough if they could let her go.
Fusang focused her attention and stared at Chu Jian. She had no intention of staying at all.
"Not necessarily. Let's talk about it then."
"Don't." Chu Jian came forward and said, "Fusang, you see, we have some friendship. You saved me, and I helped you get rid of the Prime Minister, right? Besides, you are my senior brother. Besides, my identity is really not suitable for staying in Nanbang."
"Why not? You are now Princess Qingyang Chuyang, my childhood sweetheart. I think you are the most suitable, the most suitable to be the Crown Princess of Nanbang." Fusang smiled and scratched her nose.
"Brother! I'm serious! I'm not kidding you! I want to go back to Lingyin Country, I want to find Jing Muyang!"
Fuso was very angry when he first met her. He kept saying these kinds of things, which sounded half-smiling, half-true, and half-real, and he was becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Fuso patted her head and said, "We'll talk about it later. Master also said so. Don't you want to listen to him?"
Mr. Fanglin did say that.
"Then help me pass the message over."
"Who should I pass it to? I don't have any power in Mulag, so I can't pass it to Jing Muyang. Besides, there's a big snowstorm in the North Sai now, how can I pass it to him?"
Fuso was playing a little trick, but if he really wanted to pass the message to Jing Muyang, there was still a way.
“Then pass it on to Dean He in the name of Master!” Chu Jian thought about it and suddenly came up with this idea.
"No matter who you are, this is not possible! Lingyin Country is not safe! Master said that you should stay here and give birth to the child first!"
"Then go back after giving birth!" Chu Jian quickly took over the conversation.
"You just want to leave, you only think about Jing Muyang, right? Don't you care about your own body? Have you forgotten how dangerous the road is? I can remind you that the little uncle has not yet eliminated his suspicions about you, and has already gone to Lingyin Country to inquire about the news. You'd better put away these little thoughts and stay by my side obediently!"
Fusang felt a little heartbroken. He had a heart of stone that could not be warmed up at first sight. He was so good to her, but she was completely blind and deaf.
Fuso was frightened by Chu Jian again and dared not speak any more. King Qi had always been on bad terms with her and would definitely try to make a big deal out of this.
This is how to do?
Looking at Chuyang's timid look, Fuso was glad that this girl was simple-minded and could be fooled.
Can you fool me? Yes, you can!
The main reason is that he has no backing. Chu Jian knows it in his heart. Of course he has to bow his head and seek protection in front of the absolute royal power. His life is definitely more important.
Try changing the place. If Jing Muyang is here, on her home turf, you can see whether she will cause trouble or not. She even dares to challenge the emperor, so there is no one she dares not offend.
So she is not timid, she knows the current situation!
Yes, know the times!

After being beaten up by Fuso and Mr. Fanglin in turn, Chu Jian became deflated. The main reason was that what they said made sense and he had no ability to protect himself and could not take the risk.
But things happened faster than she expected. Within two days, they were attacked while they were out.
A familiar black shadow, familiar moves. Although she was protected by Fuso and the attackers were all killed by the accompanying guards, Chu Jian knew very well in her heart that they were the killers sent by Jing Muhao.
Fusang, with a serious face, asked Chimei to investigate the matter. King Qi did go to inquire, but not so quickly, and Fusang also arranged for some tricks, so that the truth and lies were mixed, leading to the tomb of Chujian in Bitao Valley.
In this way, even if he did save a woman who fell into the water, he could not withstand the tomb that Jing Muyang personally confirmed and erected a tombstone for.
What's more, Mr. Fanglin recognized her when they first met, and the fact that she inherited Mr. Fanglin's skills has been confirmed. After all, studying medicine is not something that can be accomplished in one or two years, and the fact that she inherited Mr. Fanglin's skills proves that they were indeed a master-disciple relationship.
Therefore, even if Prince Qi investigated thoroughly, he would only find out that Princess Zhan was dead, and Chu Yang was indeed the orphan adopted by the owner of the clinic.
If that's the case, then where did this killer come from? Is there another way to expose him?
"Master, these killers arrived in Jinling City more than ten days ago." Chi Mei came to report.
"More than ten days ago?" The words about more than ten days ago had nothing to do with King Qi, because at that time King Qi didn't even know about Chu Jian's existence.
However, since he was able to find them so accurately, he probably had a relationship with Prince Qi later on.
"Master, we found a letter from Miss Chu that she had sent back to Lingyin Country. It was addressed to Master Li."
"Master Li? She also sent a letter to Master Li? What did it say?"
"I can't recognize it." Chi Mei handed the letter to Fuso.
Fuso took it and looked at it, there were a few words written in a flamboyant style on it: A gentleman’s word is as good as gold?
What kind of riddle is this? What does it mean? Is it their secret code? How did the killer find Jinling with this?
Fuso certainly didn't know that since Chujian's death, Master Li had hung all the calligraphy and paintings written by Chujian that were treasured in his family's collection in Liaobizhai for people to appreciate.
There was an endless stream of literati and poets coming here. In the capital of Lingyin Country, everyone knew that these were the works of Princess Zhan, and their admiration for her increased even more.
So, when the Fifth Prince's men intercepted all the letters from Nanbang to the capital, this one was very special and one could tell at a glance who wrote it.
I just didn’t expect that Chu Jian was not dead.
Jing Muhao went to Xucheng, and these killers did not dare to tell Jing Muhao. If the Fifth Prince knew that they had not completed the task and had falsely reported the results, they would all die.
Moreover, the War King had confirmed the corpse, so the letter might not have been written by Chu Jian. After all, there were experts who could copy it.
So he sent a team to Jinling to investigate, and if it was really the first time they saw him, they would kill him.
What they didn't expect was that after arriving in Jinling, the investigation would lead to the Crown Prince of Nanbang. Just when they were confused, Prince Qi came to find them. Once the facts were put together, there was no way to escape. Chu Yang was Chu Jian!
As for Prince Qi, he just had time to let those assassins fight Fuso, so if anything unexpected happened, it would not be his problem.
This is a really good plan.
