Chapter 194: Eat sweet words and obey if you ask for them

Cui Ying couldn't describe the feeling like a punch on cotton. She only felt that her heart was so congested and a little painful.

"Why are you crying again?"

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Hearing the choking sound, Chu Yan released his hold on her and kept a little distance from her. Then he saw tears falling from her face and dripping on his clothes, making a splash of water.

When he was about to get up and go down to call Qingxue over, she grabbed his sleeve, looked at him with tearful eyes, and muttered: "Don't go."

She wanted to say that she would rather he ask for something for herself, so that she could continue to hate him and never forgive him.

But he didn't ask for anything, and even she knew that he was injured. She could smell the strong smell of medicine.

"I'll stay here with you."

Chu Yan turned around, opened the quilt again and went in, holding her in his arms. He whispered something and looked down at the top of her hair, his eyes unclear.

She didn't want to spoil Cui Ying's happiness, so whenever Qiuyue came over, she would ask Cui Ying.

Qingxue came over with a water basin and looked at Cui Ying and said, "How did Madam sleep this time? With His Highness here, I think it must be peaceful."

"Yes, yes, this slave must not have thought of it for a moment. Madam just talked in her sleep a few days ago and was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep."

Could it be that he was really too sleepy?

In the Zichen Hall, Chu Yan, Chu Yao, Chu Yi and some ministers were sitting aside. Emperor Qi sat above them, and a bamboo curtain fell to isolate everyone.

Cui Ying raised her hand and touched the hairpin in her hair, and smiled. She always felt like she couldn't remember what he said to Huaiwei last night.

She teased, and the worry disappeared from her smiling eyes. The tips of Cui Ying's ears were gradually dyed with a thin layer of red. She had to admit that there was a bit of coolness in Chu Yan's body. He held her like a piece of cold jade to drive away Xia Xia. The days are quite hot and muggy.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

It wasn't Chu Yan who she hugged, it was obviously him who wouldn't let go.

The next day, when Cui Ying woke up, Chu Yan had already gone to Zichen Hall. The long line had been put down, and the fish was about to bite the hook. As a fisherman, he naturally had to show up.

The emperor's sick appearance should not be shown to others, lest it be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.

Qingxue put down the basin, and then came over to help Cui Ying put on her clothes. When she was controlled by the love Gu, she couldn't remember everything when she was awake. It was like a split personality. The sleeping one would not know anything.

Emperor Qi coughed and raised his eyes to look at everyone through the thin bamboo curtain. Some looked calm, some looked surprised, and some even looked hypocritical, which was disgusting.

"The Concubine Xian just asked Miss Qiuyue to come and ask her if she wants to go to Zhongcui Palace today. She said that there are a few more pots of precious flowers and plants in the flower room."

After twisting Cui Ying's hair in front of the dressing table and inserting the hairpin, Qingxue said, Concubine Xian has become very close to Madam these days, but every time they meet, she is always by her side. Madam also likes Concubine Xian very much.

Not knowing what she thought of, she became serious for a moment: "No."

His three sons really followed their mother, and their temperaments were exactly the same.

"Fourth brother, you are finally back. You don't know how worried I am about you. I sent many people to look for you, but no trace of you was found."

Chu Yi spoke first, saying this to Chu Yan with a worried look on his face. "I haven't seen the person who rescued the orphan. There are really waves of people who assassinate me, you know?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the man's words. He really didn't save any face for Chu Yi. He said it in front of so many people. The look on Chu Yi's face was almost unbearable.

"Okay, I'm not keeping you here today just to listen to these verbal disputes."

"The flood incident in the eastern suburbs hasn't progressed yet, but I heard that Master Ji met an assassin in his mansion. Is this possible?"

Emperor Qi turned his eyes to Ji Honghai on the other side and asked in a faint voice. He saw Ji Honghai stood up, with the wound cloth wrapped around his arm exposed. He said with a weak look: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. ?”

"His Highness was investigating officials from the Ministry of Industry in the past few days. Before the joint trial of the three departments had begun, I received some documents about the dam in my hands. Within two hours of receiving these documents, I almost died. "

After Ji Honghai finished speaking, his steps were still a little unsteady. The little eunuch on the side gave him a hand, and he thanked him warmly. From the looks of it, he looked really approachable and easy to get along with.

"Zhuo Jun, have you found the assassin?"

Emperor Qi stretched out his hand from the bamboo curtain and gestured for Ji Honghai to sit down, and then asked Zhuo Jun. Pingzhang was a close official of the emperor, and Ji Honghai was highly valued by Emperor Qi, so after reporting to Dali Temple, Zhuo Jun even more It’s hands-on.

Except for the secret letter, there was nothing on the assassin's body. His clothes were in tatters, as if he had been in a struggle with someone. But after he examined the body, he found something different.

'Since he's trying to fish in troubled waters, let's give him another helping hand. '

He stood up and said to Emperor Qi: "What you said to Your Majesty is exactly the same as what Master Ji said. What is worth mentioning is that the inner lining worn by this assassin is..."

Zhuo Jun paused, as if there was something unspeakable, and Emperor Qi narrowed his eyes and asked him to continue.

"This is owned by the Purple Eagle Army."

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Yao. After hearing this, Chu Yao stood up and kicked Zhuo Jun: "Don't talk nonsense!"

When did he send someone to assassinate Ji Honghai? It's time for him to ask Ji Honghai why the person he sent to invite him has not been found yet.

But he couldn't say it. If he said this, wouldn't it mean that he was forming a clique for personal gain and his intention was obvious?

It's true that a mute eats Coptis chinensis and can't say anything.

"King Rui."

Emperor Qi's voice came from behind the bamboo curtain. Chu Yao took a deep breath, stepped aside and knelt down: "Father, I cannot do such a thing. Furthermore, I have never had any grievances with Master Ji." Qiu, why kill him?”

"Of course it's to cover up the collapse of the dam in the eastern suburbs."

A minister sitting on the other side said something, Chu Yao's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he was alert for a moment. It turned out that this was the case.

He turned his head and glanced at Chu Yan bitterly, and then looked at Chu Yi. It was really a good plan.

Ji Honghai, from the very beginning, had no intention of helping him. He pretended to surrender and used Cui Yunliang as a pledge of surrender. Although he failed, he used some tricks behind him to win some people's hearts, and he began to trust him gradually. he.

What they are planning is today!

He was asked to take all the blame for the collapse of the Dongjiao Dam, so he turned around. There was already a problem with the dam. From the beginning of its construction, they had already thought of placing this crime on him.
