Chapter 112 It would be better to marry Xiao 9 to Chu Qibai
The Ninth Princess' feelings for Prince Chu cannot be simply described as liking her; she can be described as deeply in love with him.
Others may not know, but how could Wang Quan, who has connections and spies in the deep palace, not know? The Ninth Princess had previously rushed to Yunzhou for the sake of the Prince of Chu.
Many officials did not dare to go to Yunzhou for disaster relief. However, the Ninth Princess, despite being a wealthy woman, was willing to travel to the disaster area for the sake of Prince Chu. Doesn't such an affectionate behavior explain everything?
Of course, knowing is one thing, but Wang Quan has been in this palace for so many years and sees things more clearly than anyone else.
The Ninth Princess and the Eighth Prince are siblings from the same mother and were both born to the Queen Mother, so they can be considered legitimate princesses.
Given the Queen's personality, she would never be willing to let the Ninth Princess marry the Crown Prince of Chu. The Crown Prince of Chu has already publicly supported the Third Prince and is a staunch supporter of the Third Prince.
No matter what the Ninth Princess thought, the Queen had already expressed in front of His Majesty, both explicitly and implicitly, that she did not want the Ninth Princess to marry the Prince of Chu.
"You don't know, but I can see clearly that my little Jiu has devoted her heart to Chu Qibai. Yunzhou is so far away, but she took the trouble to chase him. It is said that some time ago, she had a big fight with her mother over marrying Chu Qibai." His Majesty sneered meaningfully.
He understood the Queen's thoughts best. She didn't want Xiaojiu to marry Chu Qibai.
But if he continued to let this go, he was worried that the two most powerful military families in the capital would marry.
Jiang Zhenyao marrying Chu Qibai is definitely not a situation that Your Majesty wants to see.
So, thinking in this way, it would be better to marry Xiao Jiu to Chu Qibai. At least he can use the rule that the son-in-law cannot hold office to restrain Chu Qibai and make him never think of participating in the fight for the throne again.
Wang Quan looked at his nose and his heart, listening silently without answering.
There is nothing that can be kept secret in this palace, especially since the Ninth Princess is so reckless and spoiled that she is not afraid of others knowing when she makes a fuss.
It is reasonable for Your Majesty to know this.
His Majesty took the memorial handed over by Chu Qibai thoughtfully, opened it and looked at it again, "Apart from his family background, Chu Qibai is really capable and is indeed an excellent candidate for a son-in-law."
Wang Quan's eyes moved slightly. Your Majesty, what do you mean...
"It's just a pity." His Majesty suddenly changed the subject and spoke rapidly.
But this person is too ignorant. Even though he knew that he didn’t like Zhou Yichen, he still chose Zhou Yichen!
When he thought of this, His Majesty snorted coldly and threw the memorial aside, as if he was venting his anger.
Wang Quan watched all of this calmly, then lowered his eyes and silently pretended that he saw nothing.
There are only Emperor Tianwu and Wang Quan in the Qianqing Palace now, and the parties involved are destined not to know the content of this conversation.

As soon as the Seventh Prince left the palace, he received a letter. The person who delivered the letter was the guard of the Eighth Prince, which made him a little surprised.
Zhou Jinye and Zhou Hanjin have always been competing secretly. At least in each other's eyes, although Zhou Yichen has talents and abilities, he is not favored by his father.
But the two of them are different. One was born to the Queen Mother and has the most noble status among the princes except Zhou Yichen, while Zhou Jinye was born to Imperial Concubine Jiang. Imperial Concubine Jiang has been in great favor with her for many years, and Zhou Jinye is also quite favored.
The two of their maternal families are evenly matched in strength, so they are more wary of each other than Zhou Yichen.
It is for this reason that whenever the two of them sit together over the years, they always confront each other and cannot calm down for a moment.
Now it's strange, Zhou Hanjin actually took the initiative to write him a letter to arrange a meeting, could it be...
Zhou Jinye pondered for a moment, then said to the Eighth Prince's men calmly, "Go back and tell your master that I will go."
That night, Zhou Jinye arrived at the place where Zhou Hanjin had agreed to meet. No one knew what the two talked about in private.

Chu Xi, who is on the road heading to Xi'an City, still encounters some minor setbacks along the way.
After passing Huzhou and two cities, they encountered an ambush by assassins again.
But the assassin this time is an old acquaintance of Chu Xi.
Chu Xi guessed their identities after watching them perform a few sword moves. They were from the Nalan family.
In the novel, the Nalan family has always been a killer organization with a relatively mysterious identity and background. They obey the orders of the Seventh Prince and become his assistants.
Before Chu Xi came to this world, he had fought with them when he went to Yunzhou for disaster relief. His skills were indeed pretty good.
This time they met them on a mountain road. Chu Xi was in a hurry to travel, and it was common for them to sleep in the open air. Most of the time they didn't have time to find an inn.
As a result, this time they were surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness for dozens of miles, and it was getting dark, so they had no time to find an inn.
Several people lit a fire directly in the mountains and planned to spend the night there.
However, just as Chu Xi sat down, before he had the chance to talk to Chu Er beside him and ask about his current injuries, his ears moved slightly and his eyes moved slightly to look towards the woods on the right.
After all, Chu Er had been following Chu Xi for so long, he noticed Chu Xi's look and immediately turned his eyes to the right following Chu Xi's gaze.
Chu Xi's fingers silently pulled the grass beside him, and then raised his eyes to look at Chu Er.
Chu Er received the look and immediately said, "Master, I'll go see if there's any firewood I can pick up nearby?"
Chu Xi nodded calmly, "Okay."
This is what I was waiting for.
Chu Er used the excuse of going out to collect firewood, but in fact he went around behind them and took the opportunity to check how many assassins came this time?
Those assassins in ambush were not stupid. Since they had ambushed here in advance, they would have to strike sooner or later. Now that someone had finally walked away, they naturally would not delay any longer.
As soon as Chu Er left, dozens of assassins hiding behind the woods waited for an opportunity to strike.
Chu Xi quickly picked up the sword at hand, drew it out, and skillfully knocked away the tip of the sword that was stabbing towards her. As soon as she did so, a second sword stabbed towards her.
Seeing this, the other people also drew their swords and rushed forward. Although their martial arts were not as good as Chu Qibai's, they could still protect themselves.
Moreover, although the moves these assassins used against them were also killing moves, there were not so many people surrounding them to attack them!
It was nothing like Chu Xi, who was surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside. She didn't have time to count how many people there were.
Ever since she entered this world, she felt that the martial arts that the original owner had learned were easy for her to use without any sense of awkwardness or unfamiliarity.
She only had to match a few of these people’s moves before she recognized them as “old acquaintances”!
"It's you again!" Chu Xi said in a calm tone, while using the force of one person's sword to stab the arm of another person.
The eldest son of the Nalan family also took action this time. He had been standing at the outermost edge and had not taken any action yet.
This operation involved 30% of the Nalan clan's elite men, all for an order from the Seventh Prince and the killing of one man. This made his face turn slightly cold whenever he thought about it.
