If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 128 Jiaojiao
Chu Yi's face was in burning pain. Emperor Qi's slap was so hard that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"You have violated the rules, but for the sake of clearing the prince's name, the merits and demerits are equal, so I will not pursue the case. Get up."

Emperor Qi retracted his hand. After speaking, he turned to look at Chu Yan. After looking him up and down, he slowly said: "I know that with the prince's character, he will never do such a thing."

"Now that the matter is over, why not put the matter between you and Miss Xue on the agenda and get a concubine next month."

Hearing Emperor Qi open his eyes and tell lies, Chu Yan looked up at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to take a concubine, so there is no need to tell Gu."

After that, without waiting for Qi Di to say anything more, he turned around and left. Qi Di looked at his back, the smile on his face completely fell, and his eyes were filled with chills.

The ministers felt the tit-for-tat between father and son, and they all looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Ever since Chu Yan returned to Dashuo and took over the government, the two father and son had been like this in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, full of oppression, but no one dared to speak out to stop anything.

Who dares to speak out unless he doesn't want to die.

In this way, a crisis was handled lightly, as if it was just to trap Chu Yan in the East Palace, but more importantly, it seemed that Emperor Qi wanted Chu Yan to bow his head, admit his mistake, and beg for mercy.

It's just that Chu Yan's temperament is not to beg for mercy.

On the first day when the ban was lifted, Concubine Xian went to the East Palace, bringing medicine, food, and many other things.

"The Concubine Xian really loves Your Highness."

"No, haven't you seen such a big thing? Didn't Your Majesty depose the Crown Prince? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will definitely be the one sitting in that position in the future."

The two palace maids hid on one side and talked in low voices. After saying this, the palace maid pointed to the location of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which represented the emperor.

As long as His Highness remains His Highness for a day, the position of the Concubine Xian will always be secure.

When Zhao Shu arrived at the East Palace, she saw Chu Yan sitting in a wheelchair and about to leave the palace. She stepped forward to stop her and said, "Why do you want to leave the palace now?"

"It's not too late to recover from your injuries in the palace before going out. It's rare for you to come back, so let my mother and concubine take more care of you."

She raised her eyes to look at Cheng Chong, then stepped forward, reached out to hold the armrests of the wheelchair, took Cheng Chong's place, and pushed Chu Yan back into the hall. Chu Yan did not stop him, so Cheng Chong and Ying Dong did not say anything.

There were very few furnishings in the main hall of the East Palace, and Chu Yan himself didn't add anything. It looked empty, and it didn't look like anyone was living there.

Zhao Shu sighed and stopped by the table. Qiu Yue behind her put the food box on the table. The steaming food was brought out in the white mist. She reached out and poured a bowl of soup for Chu Yan and put it in front of him.

"Your father, don't argue with him. You also know that your mother's death has dealt a huge blow to him."

Zhao Shu had a bit of sadness on her face, a gentle tone, and looked at Chu Yan with affection. In the eyes of others, she was really a stepmother with a very good character.

Chu Yan listened to her words, stretched out his hand to hold the porcelain spoon in the bowl, stirred it, and said loudly: "What about you, don't you hate him? The whole family of the Zhao family and the Pei family were slaughtered, and hundreds of people were killed. The empress’s most beloved sister also died because of this.”

"Don't you hate it?"

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the bowl of soup with a bit of playfulness, and there was some inexplicable hostility in his tone.

"I have stopped hating you a long time ago."

After Zhao Shu heard Chu Yan's question, she tightened her hands for a moment, and then replied to him lightly, as if she really didn't care anymore.

"That empress is really very tolerant. If Gu Ruo were you, you would really want to skin him, remove his bones, and whip his corpse three hundred times. It's a pity that Gu Ruo is not the empress."

"The smell of black-bone chicken soup is a bit strong. I don't like drinking it. From now on, I don't have to work hard to make it."

The bowl of soup only passed through Chu Yan's hands once before he put it back on the table. He didn't take a sip, and his attitude towards Zhao Shu was not as motherly and filial as the outside world rumored. He looked very distant.

Seeing that Chu Yan was about to leave, Zhao Shu hurriedly stood up and called him: "Huaiwei, your mother's memorial day will be in more than a month. I have prepared a banquet for you. Remember to return to the palace."

"No, Riko is going to the Buddhist hall to kneel down as a punishment."

He was sitting in a wheelchair, with the warm afternoon sun in front of him. The man turned sideways and glanced at Zhao Shu, with a sarcastic coldness in his eyes: "For so many years, don't you know, my queen? Gu Ke has never been allowed to celebrate his birthday. "

birthday? He had never lived it since he was born. On this day every year, he was locked up in the Buddhist hall for a whole day, and faced the majestic gods and Buddhas, repenting for the mistakes he had made.

The look in his eyes made Zhao Shu feel a little depressed, but it was clear that before he went to Yunzhou, the two of them were not like this.

Zhao Shu watched Chu Yan's figure gradually disappear at the entrance of the palace. Thinking of his words, the smile on her lips fell: "Go back."

Qiuyue nodded, stepped forward to put the things away, and followed Zhao Shu back to Zhongcui Palace.

Cui Xu stayed in Fengzhou for a few days. In addition to solving the problems at the Shen family's shop in Fengzhou, he basically came to look for Cui Ying every day. Unfortunately, Shen Huajiao returned to Hanzhou first and could not let the two of them meet.

The day the matter was finished, Cui Xu was about to leave for Hanzhou. He also wanted to tell Shen Huajiao about Cui Ying. After all, he was very happy to see Cui Ying.

After the two of them started talking that day, Cui Xu actually also figured out that it would be futile to persist in some things.

What he always wanted was to make Cui Ying happy in this life, and now she was very happy, so Cui Xu felt that it was okay for him to take a step back and be his brother again.

But Shen Huajiao, he really didn't know how to get along with her.

"Brother, these are some clothes and accessories I made myself. I took them back to my sister-in-law to see if she likes them. It's a pity that I didn't see her. After a while, when I have time to go to Hanzhou, I will definitely pay a visit."

Cui Ying asked the boy on the side to put things on Cui Xu's carriage, and said to him with a smile. Cui Xu nodded: "Okay, brother will leave first. Remember, if anything happens, you can come to Hanzhou to find brother. "

"Ying Qingqing, take care of yourself."

When Cui Xu was about to blurt out the word Yingying, he swallowed it back to avoid causing trouble for her.

After bidding farewell to Cui Ying, the carriage set off back to Hanzhou. The two places were not far apart and arrived in less than ten days. When Shen Huajiao was looking at the account book in the house, she heard Willow Branch running towards him in a hurry.

"Miss, my uncle is back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Huajiao's hand moving the abacus paused for a moment, and then the sound of the abacus sounded again, and she hummed: "I know, let's go and prepare things for my uncle to take a bath."

"Why did you go back to Hanzhou first?"

Before Liu Zhi could reply, he heard the sound of Cui Xu's footsteps lifting up and landing on the floor. He walked closer, sat next to Shen Huajiao and said something.

"Haven't you always wanted the embroidery from Ruyi Embroidery Workshop? Take a look."

After Cui Xu finished speaking, the chief behind him casually placed a package on Shen Huajiao's table.

"Ruyi, embroidery workshop"

Shen Huajiao said something absently, and Cui Xu looked at her and asked again: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, thank you, thank you husband, I'm a little tired today, so I'm going to rest first."

Before Cui Xu could speak, Shen Huajiao had already left. Cui Xu looked at her strange appearance, stood up, and called out to her: "Jiaojiao."

These two words were filled with unwarranted intimacy, and they hit Shen Huajiao's already despairing heart. He called her a small name.
