Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 841
After entering the hall, Cang Xiuxuan directly pulled Song Chen to his seat and pushed her to sit down.

Although it is not a dragon chair, in the eyes of all the ministers, it is far more noble than the dragon chair. The original dragon chair that everyone envied has been covered with a layer of yellow cloth.

The person sitting in this position is the one who holds the power of life and death for everyone in Dayong.

He is already the master respected by the ministers.

The ministers were already distressed when Song Chen entered the meeting hall. They just didn't know how they would feel when they learned that Song Chen was sitting so leisurely on this chair.

But obviously, their feelings are not within Song Chen's consideration now.

The chair was a bit high. After all, she was not as tall as Cang Xiuxuan. Sitting on the chair, her feet were dangling in the air, and she simply started to sway.

Looking at the mountain of official business on Cang Xiuxuan's desk, Song Chen felt a little dizzy.

"You have to deal with so many things every day?"

Song Chen hadn't been to the palace for a long time, so naturally he didn't know what Cang Xiuxuan was doing every day, and it seemed that Cang Xiuxuan didn't bring much official business back.

But then I thought about it, even the president of a large modern company is still busy with things every day. Even if he does not need to write every plan personally, it still needs to be reviewed and signed.

What's more, Cang Xiuxuan is managing a country now.

Seeing the distress in Song Chen's eyes, Cang Xiuxuan regretted not hiding these things first before going out to pick her up, so he could only comfort her.

"Not all of them are urgent official matters. Someone will sort them out separately. If they must be handled by me, I will keep them. The rest will be assigned to various departments to handle."

Song Chen believed this, but at most he only believed it three-thirds of the time.

"If there are too many things, we can go to Beiguan Village slowly. It's not far anyway."

Or she could go by herself.

But she didn't say the next sentence because she knew that even if she said it, Cang Xiuxuan wouldn't agree.

Even Cang Xiuxuan didn't agree to the extension she said.

"Isn't it already decided? You are almost ready. Besides, the letters are already on the way. A carriage can take a day or two, and urgent business can be delivered in a day by fast horse. ,don’t worry."

When Song Chen saw him saying this, he gave up the thought of going back alone.

She was really looking forward to Beiguan Village. Firstly, her parents and family were there, and secondly, it was because the shore had now completely turned into a workshop village.

In addition to these profitable industries in Beijing, there are other industrial workshops that she plans to develop in other directions, all in Beiguan Village.

Song Chen wanted to see what changes had occurred during this period.

"Okay, you should make sure to rest yourself. Otherwise, don't go back for lunch in the past few days. If the palace is not used to eating, let the cook from the palace come into the palace to prepare your lunch."

It takes a lot of time to have a meal at noon.

In this way, the wasted time must be squeezed out from other places.

"It's better that you follow us into the palace and stay there for a few days."

In fact, Cang Xiuxuan often felt a little ashamed of Song Chen. He himself always thought that Song Chen was forced to leave the palace and live in the palace by those ministers.

"But please don't."

But he didn't want Song Chen to hear what he said, and he was so frightened that he quickly refused, "I feel so comfortable living in the palace, but I can't stand the many rules in this palace. Besides, there are so many people coming in and out of this palace." Trouble, there are people everywhere you go.”

She really didn't like the environment in the palace.

People outside always think that the palace is a place of paradise on earth. After all, the most noble people in the country live here, and these most noble people should have the best food, clothing and other things. Everywhere you go there are people waiting on you, so you don’t need to do anything by yourself.

But Song Chen felt... what's the point of such a life?

Doesn’t life require indulgence and wantonness?

The inside of this high palace wall is like a newly opened world. Although the people here don't have to worry about firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea, their every move receives the greatest attention.

It can be said that the people living in this deep palace should be the least free group of people in the world.

Besides, he has no intention of entering the Chengqian Palace, and she has no intention of entering the Kunning Palace. Now she has to move in until the new emperor is decided, and there is no point in going through all the fuss.

It must be said that Song Chen saw things very quickly.

As time goes by, she becomes more lively and transparent here.

Cang Xiuxuan had long known that she would have such thoughts, so it was not surprising that she rejected him now, let alone being unhappy about it.

"There's no need to send the cook over. If I'm very busy, I won't go back for lunch. If you're free, you can come in and have lunch with me." But it's only been a few days since they went to Beiguan Village. I'm afraid this is the case. situation is also very difficult to happen.

As for after returning from Beiguan Village, if you see what kind of state the boy is in, you will know how long it will take for him to face these trivial things.

In fact, he really wanted to hand over all these things now.

"Did something happen when you suddenly entered the palace today?" Cang Xiuxuan wanted to understand this and changed the subject.

Only then did Song Chen remember the purpose of entering the palace and looked up at him.

"Do you still remember the Xu family?"

"Which Xu family? Yushi Xu family?"

Song Chen nodded, "When the house was ransacked, wasn't there a young lady from the Xu family, Xu Jialu (Xu Jialu's name was wrongly written in some previous chapters, it was written as Xu Jialan, sorry), but she was not taken into custody?"

Cang Xiuxuan remembered this matter, and it had always been noticed, but the interesting thing is that because he didn't dig into it, he still couldn't find this person.

If he said that no one was helping behind the scenes, he wouldn't believe it.

"Why are you talking about her all of a sudden?"

"You remember that day when I went out to buy things? When you asked me how I was doing, I said that if I didn't read my calendar when I went out, I would meet some bad people. I suspect one of them was Xu Jialu."

Now thinking about the confused look that Mrs. Yang looked at Xu Jialu, I am afraid that Mrs. Yang had met this young lady from the Xu family before, just because she thought that the Xu family had been ransacked, and Xu Jialu was wearing men's clothing at the time, so she didn't know it for a while. My memory is a little confused.

This Cang Xiuxuan really didn’t expect it.

"Why do you suddenly have such suspicion? I remember that you didn't seem to have any interaction with the Xu family."

In other words, Song Chen had never seen Xu Jialu before.

"I didn't expect it at first, but I just thought that person was suspicious, so I asked someone to investigate. The result was a bit unexpected. She was actually related to Ouyang Li. If she is really Miss Xu's family, , the person who helped her escape was Ouyang Li."

Regarding another matter related to Ouyang Li, Cang Xiuxuan no longer had any trouble in his heart, but he was a little curious about Ouyang Li's purpose in helping Xu Jialu in the first place.

When the Xu family was searched, no evidence of contacts between the Xu family and Ouyang Li was found.

Now that I know her identity, it seems that some of the things that happened before are much easier to explain.

"In that case, Ouyang Li and Xu Jialu probably conspired to slander you last time."

Originally, Cang Xiuxuan thought that Xu Jialu could not make any big waves at all, but he did not expect that he would catch up with Ouyang Li, "I will send people to take Xu Jialu to prison now."

He couldn't tolerate anyone being unfavorable to Song Chen.

When Ouyang Li said that he did those things because the girl from the Red Mansion could not enter the Hall of Beauty because she had a grudge against Song Chen, he didn't believe it. However, no other evidence was found at that time. Those who were bribed to spread the rumors were all It is impossible to pinpoint who instigated them.

Because they only recognize money but not people.

"Not yet."

Song Chen didn't know that Cang Xiuxuan had made this decision impulsively, so he calmly explained the situation to him.

"We still don't know what Ouyang Li and Xu Jialu are doing, and we don't even know why Xu Jialu stopped me in the street again. I think if we capture them now, we will probably know everything we want to know. There’s no way to know, so it’s better to just pretend not to know.”

"Then Xu Jialu has now changed her name to Qiu Niang... I don't know what the brain of an official lady is like. If I hadn't heard this name at the time, I would never have thought of coming here."

Recalling the emotion he felt when he heard this name, Song Chen felt that it was completely impossible to describe it in words.

But now when Cang Xiuxuan heard the word Qiu Niang, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "You are a little stupid, I am afraid that Ouyang Li will eat her until all the bones are left."

Although he is not afraid of Ouyang Li, nor does he think Ouyang Li is his opponent, but for Ouyang Li, it is extremely easy to play with such a treacherous young lady who only knows how to scheming and fighting.

There is no doubt that he is seeking skin from a tiger.

Song Chen smiled and thought of another thing, "By the way, the person who was serving me before also went to investigate Xu Jialu. She is also wearing men's clothes all day long. She said she has been living in the inn for a long time. , Logically speaking...it is most undesirable for her to stay in an inn with her status. Is it possible that she still wants to play tricks under the light? "

Cang Xiuxuan was noncommittal.

But now that the identity of the other party is confirmed and there are these speculations, it is still up to Song Chen to do what he does next.

"I won't get involved in Xu Jialu's case. You can handle it however you want."

Naturally, Song Chen had no objection. "Staying still for now would be a warning. Let's see what the two of them want to do before we talk."

These two people don't know now that Ouyang Li and Xu Jialu want to break up her and Cang Xiuxuan...
