Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 113 Inappropriate (a rough update)
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

In the middle of the night, a fierce battle on the roof of the alley in the capital did not wake people from their dreams. The two horsemen had their own casualties, and retreated quietly while the watchman was on watch. The north wind howled and blew off the leaves on the tiles, as if nothing had happened.

In the Tian family, Hongluan frowned so much that a fly could be crushed to death, "These people don't kill people, they only rummage things. Could it be that what they want is a legacy?"

Tian Pu looked at the mess all over the place, "It doesn't seem to be the case."

"What's that?" Hongluan subconsciously pulled out her sleeves and took out a generous handkerchief, "Could it be that the regent's people know that Xi'er took something from Mrs. Shen? Want to take it back?"

Tian Pu looked at the square satin handkerchief, the texture was not bad, he said casually, "It doesn't look like the one used by Ji Chong."

Hongluan's eyebrows twitched, "What did you say?"

Tian Pu seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and pointed at the handkerchief excitedly, "Could it be..."

"Could it be..."

The two spoke in unison, and stopped talking for a while, they all guessed what, and hurriedly shook their heads to study the square handkerchief.

In the cold wind, a man in black entered a certain alley and entered a certain room, "Master, I got the handkerchief."

The people around Gao Chen quickly took the veil, put it in the pot of potion, and looked at the change of the veil near the oil lamp, but unfortunately there was no response after waiting for a long time, "No..."

"Where's the stuff?" Gao Chen raised his eyes, his eyes full of panic.

The man in black shrank into a ball in fright, "This is the handkerchief that the little one snatched."

Gao Chen's eyes were stinging, "Go down."

"Yes." Terrified, he retreated tremblingly.

The aide asked, "Master, this handkerchief is fake, so what should we do?"

Gao Chen pouted, "Ji Chong went to Dali Temple in person tonight, probably because he knew that the handkerchief was with his concubine."

"I mean, I'll still be the oriole."

Gao Chen stood up, "That's natural."

"Will Ji Chong get anything from Shen Jinlin then?"

"It depends on the weight of the chips in his hand."

In the cold windy night, Shen Chuxia got into Ji Chong's carriage again. This time, she didn't lean in his arms, but stayed away from him, looking down at the carriage floor, without saying a word.

Ji Chong leaned against the carriage, squinting at her head.

In addition to the north wind and the sound of horseshoes, even the breathing of the two could be heard.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Mu Tong said again, "Your Highness, we're here."

Shen Chuxia sat motionless.

Ji Chong stretched out his foot to touch her, signaling her to get off the carriage.

Shen Chuxia raised her eyes, "Your Highness..." She pursed her lips, "I'll stay at the inn, please..."

Before she finished the following words, she was hugged by a princess from Ji Chong, "Ah..." almost fell, and instinctively wrapped her hands around his neck.

Ji Chong laughed lowly.

Shen Chuxia blushed with fright and struggled to get down.

Ji Chong has already carried her out of the carriage.

This time, under the tall lanterns, the four huge gold characters of the Prince Regent's Palace shone brightly in the night.

"Your Highness..." Shen Chuxia stopped in a low voice, "This is inappropriate."

Ji Chong turned a deaf ear and carried her into the Prince Regent's mansion, and it was the main entrance.

Su Juesong entered through the side door, and immediately entered the office room to be busy, working hard as a worker, and the owner was lingering in love, so he had to work until dawn.

Living in the Prince Regent's Mansion again, on the first night, Shen Chuxia barely closed her eyes, her mind was full of how to let the Shen family see Shen Jinlin, but she passed every method in the end.

How can Ji Chong agree to let the Shen family meet Shen Jinlin?
After fighting for three days, Shen Chuxia finally decided to stand in front of him and ask in the most straightforward and brutal way: Old man, do you want my family to see Shen Jinlin?
Yes, that's it, what kind of beauty tricks, devious tactics, that's it, if you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, you will be pulled down.

"Asarum—"

"Little lady..."

"Take me to His Highness's study."

Xi Xin was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't dare, Shen Chuxia didn't make things difficult for her, and went straight out of the room.

"Little lady...Little lady..." Xi Xin chased her out.

After the next court, all the ministers filed out from the hall.

Shen Gongci realized that he could not be transparent now, and was always surrounded by members of Gao Ji's second party asking questions. He held his breath, and replied in three sentences, "I don't know."

"Master Shen, just now the censor accused you of not paying the tax, and if you don't pay the tax, you will be dismissed from office!"

"If it's not good, it will be punished."

Shen Gongci quietly glanced at Ji Chong's officials, but he didn't say anything.

He snorted coldly and said angrily, "I will use this money to pay the salaries of the newly recruited river guards and to treat the river silt, so as to save the treasury from being bitten by rats."

"Can a mouse bite?"

"What about the silver in the treasury?"

"..." A certain adult was dumb.

Mr. Shen flung his sleeves and walked away.

Leaving a group of officials staring wide-eyed.

In the cold wind, someone said, "Is he openly buying a small treasury?"

Geng Qiru returned to the mansion, "Father, my son heard that Ji Chong added three more officials to Hengnan."

"Who are there?"

"He kept it secret." Geng Qiru said, "But my son has found out a little bit."

Geng Taifu waited for his son to tell the list.

"He used Chu Liangjun again, and ordered him to go to Hengnan to supervise the flood investigation case as the patrol history."

"Him?" Taifu Geng shook his head, "This kind of complicated case cannot be handled."

Geng Qiru said, "The officials going to the south this time will still be escorted by Prince Feng."

"It's useless to catch the root and fail to implement it." Taifu Geng sighed.

Geng Qiru thought for a while, and then said, "From what I heard, it seems that Ji Chong is going to release Shen Jinlin and let him go with him."

Geng Taifu still shook his head, "He is not much better than Chu Liangjun."

Geng Qiru also thought so, he was curious why Ji Chong let Shen Jinlin go, whether Shen Jinlin was really fine, or let him out to catch something.

Ji Chong was stopped by Ying Ya at the intersection of Yan'en Palace, "Thank you Wenchu, Lian'er is much better." She was not dressed as a court lady, but lived in the palace as a concubine.

He stood with his hands behind his back, with a calm face: "That's good." After finishing speaking, he passed her to look at the little emperor.

"Wenchu—"

Ji Chong didn't stop walking.

"Father Gao and his son are inside."

Ji Chong immediately turned around and strode out of the palace.

"Wenchu—" Yingya called him, and chased after him.

"Concubine Shu, it's inappropriate for you to call me a minister, so you'll still call me by my title in the future."

Yingya paused, with a heartbroken expression on her face, "I can't do anything about Gao Shi, I... I came here to ask you for advice?"

Ji Chong didn't stop walking, as if he didn't hear her words, he went straight out of the palace.

"Mother..." Mo Lan looked at his decisive back and was angry for her master.

Yingya gritted her teeth: "It must be that woman who stole his heart."

"Your Majesty, this servant understands."

Shen Chuxia went all out and came to Ji Chong's outer study, no one stopped her in the corridor, until she reached the door of the study, she was stopped, "Miss Shen, you can't enter."

"He's not in now?"

The guard squeaked.

Shen Chuxia was suspicious.

Ji Chong, what is this for?You know she's coming to a showdown, so you won't let her in?
She breathed out angrily, well, this way is blocked, she will try to find a way, anyway, those jailers in Dali Temple are very greedy, can't she just throw money at them?
