Your Highness's Beloved Medical-skilled Princess novel Chapter 77

Master Chu's anger slowly dissipated. He sat on the Armchair with a gloomy expression. "This is the last chance. If you don't tell me, then forget it. You are not Princess Wenqing. The Chu family has many obedient young ladies ."

"Grandfather, I told you that I didn't mean to..." She was crying, and tears rolled down her face from the corner of her eyes. She looked indescribably pitiful. Anyone who saw such a sad face would feel softhearted.

Unfortunately, Master Chu would never believe in tears.

"Put away your tears and get out!" He said coldly.

A look of fear and regret finally appeared on Chu Mingcui's face. She said anxiously, "Grandfather, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made use of the relationship between Nurse Xi and you. It was indeed me who asked her to poison Retired Emperor's medicine. I was just afraid that Prince Wenhao would gain power when Retired Emperor gets better. I was also thinking about the bigger picture."

"How do you know the relationship between Nurse Xi and me?" Master Chu's voice was dark and cold. He was also immersed in gloomy mood.

Chu Mingcui had never seen such a terrible expression on her grandfather's face before. She was so frightened that her lips trembled and she said everything. "It was Grandmother who said it. It was also Grandmother who asked for it. She said that Nurse Xi had betrayed you. As long as she said it was your order, even if Nurse Xi lost her life, she would be willing to do it for you. I didn't believe it at first, but after I said it to Nurse Xi, she agreed."

After that, she hurriedly added, "Grandfather, Nurse Xi will definitely not tell anyone about the murder of the Retired Emperor, nor will she reveal you to the public. Don't worry."

Master Chu closed his eyes. There was no expression on his face at all, as if he was a block of wood.

Chu Mingcui felt uneasy. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and did not know what to do.

After a long while, Master Chu opened his eyes, which were calm. "What do you think about Yu Wenhao marrying your sister as his concubine?"

Chu Mingcui said anxiously, "Grandfather, don't do this."

"Why not?" Master Chu asked coldly.

Chu Mingcui hesitated for a moment. "Sister is the legitimate daughter. How can she be a concubine?"

"Lord Yuan said, we can ask Yuan Qingling to go to the court. At that time, my sister will be the princess."

Chu Mingcui turned pale with fright. "How dare Lord Yuan say that?"

"However, Princess Chu opposed it. His Majesty said that he respected Princess Chu's intentions. That's why he let go of your sister and Yu Wenhao."

Chu Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief. "That can't be forced. At this critical moment, it's better to avoid more trouble."

Master Chu said lightly, "That's right, so I've decided that your sister will serve Prince Wenqing with you."

"What?" Chu Mingcui fell to the ground with a pale face.

She quickly knelt down and said firmly, "No, grandfather, Yuan Qingling will agree. She must agree. I promise that Yu Wenhao will definitely marry my sister as his consort."

Master Chu said expressionlessly, "This is your last chance. No matter what means you use, you must do it cleanly. Of course, I hope that everyone will be happy. If you can't handle it well or cause trouble, you can hand over your position as Princess Wenqing."

In other words, he hoped that Yuan Qingling would withdraw voluntarily. If she really attacked, she must leave no trace.

Chu Mingcui said coyly, "Grandfather, don't worry. I will definitely complete it."

Master Chu waved his hand and looked exhausted. "Go ahead."

"I'm leaving!" Chu Mingcui bowed and left.

As soon as Chu Mingcui left, Master Chu called someone in and said lightly, "I don't want to hear anyone talk about Joy again."

"Is it fun?" Chu Yangming looked at Chu Mingcui with a smug look.

Chu Mingcui said dotingly, "It's fine if you think it's fun."

Chu Yangming sat down and threw the whip. "In fact, it's not fun at all, but I'm really bored. My grandfather doesn't allow me to go out."

She glared at the girl. "Get out!"

As if she had been granted amnesty, she quickly took the bowl and went out.

The rest of the maidservants quickly cleaned up and served tea and snacks before closing the door for the two sisters to chat.

Chu Mingcui pondered for a moment before asking with a smile, "do you know that I'm going to propose a marriage for you?"

"Of course I do!" Chu Yangming's pretty face turned cold. "But I don't want to get married so early."

"No one has ever been able to defy my grandfather's words." Chu Mingcui sighed softly. "Sister, why are you willing to get married early? You want to spend more time with grandma. At home, you are very important in our family, but you marry someone else..."

"What do you mean? Is brother-in-law not good to sister? I think brother-in-law is good to sister. Every time sister comes back, he will accompany you." Chu Yangming pricked up her ears and asked.

Chu Mingcui smiled bitterly. "That's all superficial glory. How can I really be free as a royal daughter-in-law? There are many rules in the manor and there's an official keeping an eye on you. If you make any mistakes, report it to the imperial palace immediately. Queen Mother will arrive immediately."

Chu Yangming was shocked. "Is it so strict?"

"That's right. I can't tell my grandfather after suffering. He can't interfere in the royal family's affairs."
