Repairing the Past

Chapter 46

The sun shines quite brightly with the gusts of winter wind that penetrate into the skin.

Although it can freeze, in fact it does not make a big party today just stop.

The all-red attribute filled the Chu residence. Cheers of joy were heard outside the street. It was as if celebrating the happiness that Chu Ling felt.

The young girl was ready with a red wedding dress with luxurious jewelry attached to her body.

Madam Xun was so enthusiastic about welcoming the beloved princess who breezed her way to the party hall.

A happy smile was not only engraved on the general's face, it was also a new couple, Chu Zhan and Chang Le's daughter, who had indeed since dawn had already arrived at the residence.

One by one congratulate. Pray. In the hope that the marriage will last until death separates.

Chu Yao was no exception. He even sincerely hoped that young master Zhao would treat Chu Ling lovingly.

Instead of joining such a happy family, Chu Yao instead took some distance. He stood not far behind Chang Le's daughter without a word.

The princess seemed to be aware of Chu Yao's withdrawing attitude. With full of elegance, he approached and spoke to Chu Yao.

"What made my sister so excited? Today is not a special day that will not be repeated."

Chu Yao smiled, "i am so embarrassed. The princess realized my discomfort today. "

Princess Chang Le chuckled with her red-lipped handkerchief, "you're this, why are you so condescending? just call me brother-in-law. I've become part of your family."

"alright. Brother-in-law is very careful. Then, I won't make any limits." Reply to Chu Yao with a respectful gesture according to manners.

Princess Chang Le cleared her throat. This time her oval face displayed a seriousness. Chu Yao straightened up. Balancing body posture to accept something that might be unexpected.

"I heard you were quite close to the eighth prince. Is that true?"

Chu Yao did not reply. He was just playing with a blink of an eye signal. Princess Chang Le did not mind. He even resumed the conversation quite calmly.

"Have you heard of the riots that happened during the Empire's routine meeting yesterday?"

Chu Yao's face changed. He looks gasp. There was suspicion in his mind.

It was not commonplace for an Imperial princess to talk about political matters in a public place like her sister-in-law did.

Even though Ye Zuan was the younger sister of Chang Le's daughter, it was still that Chu Yao felt that there was a bulkhead that made her unable to lightly discuss the Empire's polemics as she did with the eighth prince.

Could it be that Chu Zhan had shared a secret with his wife?

Or was it Ye Zuan who opened up about the problems they were facing?

I don't know!

Chu Yao could only go with the flow of the conversation while analyzing all the possibilities.

"stirring?"

"Yes.." The graceful woman paused for a while and resumed, "..Ye Zuan provided new evidence of tax evasion by the prime minister. In addition, there is some other evidence of the empress' involvement in the addition of land and property of the prime minister's family beyond the limit.."

Chu Yao refrained from over-committing. After all, Chang Le's daughter was still a member of the Empire and the average Imperial member was like a razor eye. Sharp on both sides.

"How did the officials respond?"

Princess Chang Le took a breath, "There are pros, there are cons as well. I think you know who they are. It's just that what I'm worried about isn't Ye Zuan's lunge.. "

The woman looked at the group of happy people in front of her with complex eyes.

Chu Yao realized the meaning of the princess' words. But he prefers not to extend the talks. He's back in silence.

From afar, the rows of large crates that contained Chu Ling's dowry were neatly lined up.

Madam Xun could not help but cry her must when the youngest princess boarded the carriage and left the residence with a lively wedding motorcade.

Just a few minutes later, that happiness turned into a calamity.

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers under the crown prince surrounded the Chu residence.

"What's this?" Madam Xun asked frantically to the husband.

General Chu did not answer. He glanced at Chu Zhan and swiftly secured the position of the mother and Chu Yao behind him.

"On the orders of the Emperor's majesty, general Chu and all the families and servants serving will be arrested on charges of rebellion!" Raung the crown prince brandished the emperor's official plaque into the air.

Instantly everyone was scooped and forced to kneel with their hands bound. The servants were frightened even some were crying with trembling bodies.

"Your Majesty, my father never rebelled. It was just baseless slander!" Speak Chu Zhan with a bashful rebuttal perhaps. His face did not appear to have received the crown prince's treatment.

The crown prince smiled cynically, "The companion prince has no right to comment anything here! Did the prince escort doubt the decision that his highness the emperor took?!"

Princess Chang Le pulled Chu Zhan's arm when the man was about to argue. This time, the woman came forward in place of the husband to speak.

"My husband didn't mean that. It's just that this arrest was so sudden without prior notice. Isn't today a happy day for one of the generals' daughters. Is it not possible for the noble one to postpone it until tomorrow in view of the former Chu generals' merits."

"SLOW! how dare you set up a system that's already in place!" Snapped the crown prince in an arrogant manner.

General Chu held Chu Zhan and Princess Chang Le in one hand gesture.

The old man bowed respectfully, greeting in a dignified manner to the crown prince.

"Please forgive the words of the companion prince and princess just now. I will obey all orders. Please the crown prince can be heartened by it. "

"DAD!!!" Raung Chu Zhan and Chu Yao together.

"PLEASE THE PRINCESS AND THE ESCORT PRINCE RETURN TO THE RESIDENCE!" Firmly general Chu without giving any chance to Chu Zhan refused.

"Are you deaf? Aren't you guys kicked out of here? Go then! Before I change my mind and enter the names of the two of you in this great capture!"

If only the soldiers did not hold back his movements, Chu Zhan could almost punch a punch into the crown prince's face back then.

"Dad just got framed! The Chu family is not a rebel family!" Chu Zhan shouted with a blackened face in anger.

It took five soldiers of great stature to resist the rampage of the lieutenant general. They are almost overwhelmed by it.

"really? But all the evidence we've received. You can't argue!" Read the crown prince.

"You better bow down in gratitude that you are no longer Chu family! You don't have to go to jail to make amends for your father like everyone else! You survived by marrying my useless half-sister!" The crown prince's whispering whisper in Chu Zhan's ear.

"YOU!"

"BRING THE PRINCESS AND THE ESCORT PRINCE OUT! HURRY UP!!!"

Chu Zhan was raging. The soldiers looked hard to drag the young man out. Finally the man's movement was successfully paralyzed with a punch right behind his back.

The crown prince looked satisfied. His arrogant attitude is getting rampant. He did not hesitate to attract and beat the servants who begged for his mercy.

Chu Yao grew even more inflamed as the soldiers herded aunt Hui, uncle Tong and Xier very roughly. The three men fell to their knees bleeding from the forced pull.

Chu Yao did not care. He ran over to the three men without any regard for the crown prince's sight.

"You're hurt?" Chu Yao asked worriedly as she helped Aunt Hui stabilize herself.

"We're okay, miss. Don't worry about us!" Tong's uncle answered with a nod of Xier and Hui's aunt.

Even so, Chu Yao was not blind, the state of everyone there was indeed not doing well. Everyone's faces paled with a terrible sense of fear.

"Master.. Are we gonna make it?" Madame Xun asked with endless sobs.

General Chu was silent. But the silent attitude of the husband even more discouraging his mind.

"He.. Wasn't he the one who caused all this misfortune to happen?!" Blaspheme mistress Xun to Chu Yao by pointing a finger at the white-clothed woman.

"Your majesty, doesn't the empress want the girl?! Bring her! We have no connection to him! It was he who killed the servants of the empress consort!! Catch her! JUST KILL HIM!"

"CLOSED YOUR MOUTH!" hardik general Chu with a hard slap on the face of old mistress Xun.

The crown prince laughed broadly as he clapped his hands, "very brave the mistress accused the empress' mother. Is the madam impatient to leave this world?"

Madame Xun's face was turning increasingly whitish. Regardless of dignity and dignity, the middle-aged woman begged for forgiveness, crawling just below the crown prince's feet.

General Chu's jaw hardened. His face blackened with embarrassment and anger.

"For what does the mistress humble herself in such a way? We are innocent! The Chu family was a respectable family, never breaking the orders of the Empire much less putting up a rebellion! It's just a game of people who don't agree with dad!" Raung Chu Yao loudly.

He added, "if I had to choose, I would rather die than submit to someone who is blind to the truth!"

"CHU YAO!" Jerked the father when he saw the look on the crown prince's face began to be unfriendly.

But Chu Yao did not care, "the government may turn a blind eye to all the services that you provide, but not to the people of Airland! Those powerful people won't be able to silence civilians like they did us!"

The two warriors moved, as if wanting to give a lesson to Chu Yao's courage just now. But, nimbly Chu Yao dodged. He even took out a sword perched on the waist of one of the soldiers and pointed it right at the poor man's neck.

"EXCESSIVE!" The crown prince further ignited, "BRING EVERYONE TO THE IMPERIAL PRISON RIGHT NOW! EXCEPT FOR THAT SASSY GIRL!"

All soldiers obey orders. General Chu did not seem calm. He asked Chu Yao to no longer provoke the crown prince. But the girl didn't flinch. He did not let go of the slightest glance towards the powerful young man.

Everyone walked out with their hands and feet tied to iron chains. No exception to general and mistress Xun. The soldiers made parades along the city road to the Imperial prison on the crown prince's permission.

Chu Yao grew increasingly furious. He did not relax his vigilance in the slightest as the entire empty residence leaped up.

Now only he was left behind, the crown prince and a few soldiers who stood not far from them.

The crown prince stood arrogantly, "It seems you are the source of the mother's troubles.. "

"I really want to kill you right now, but my mother asked me to take you alive to the dungeon. It seems that your mother will torture you there before actually sending you to the gallows." Ejek the crown prince.

Chu Yao was not disturbed. He was still standing with sharp eyes.

"You can't go that far! Your Majesty the Emperor will not remain silent!"

The crown prince laughed. It was as if Chu Yao's words earlier were just a joke tickling her stomach.

"You think the Emperor will side with you? Or maybe you're hoping for my half-brother who doesn't have that power? Ahaha... You're so naive! Ye Zuan is helpless! What else father!"

"As you know, my father loved his dragon seat too much! He did not hesitate to eliminate his own father to immediately control Airland. What else is just a general's family. He is willing to buy the support of the officials with your lives!"

The crown prince increasingly railed when he realized the look on Chu Yao's face had changed.

"You may not believe it, the dispute during the routine meeting in the meeting hall yesterday was so great. Ye Zuan and his allies were cornered. Inevitably having to sacrifice general Chu as a guarantee of Airland's peace.."

"Speak as you please! I won't be affected." Chu Yao's refutation with a face that was difficult to describe.

The crown prince smiled cynically, "Alright. It's up to you! I'm too tired to handle a stubborn girl like you."

The man's right hand was raised up, "MAKE THINGS RIGHT" the crown prince's orders were accompanied by the swift movements of the remaining soldiers. They surrounded Chu Yao and attacked the woman simultaneously.

Chu Yao took out a dagger given by Mo Yan that was stored within her sleeve. He tried to fight with all his might. Several soldiers were sprawled with blood that was drenched everywhere.

However, the number of soldiers was more. Their power was more dominant so it easily crippled Chu Yao.

The dagger in the girl's hand bounced off and in a flash Chu Yao's hands and feet had been bound by iron chains like those of her two adoptive parents.
