Chapter 258 Destroying Her Reputation
And when Liu Chenyue and Chi Rou were walking to the other side, at some point, a maid came out of the fake cave behind them without a sound, disappeared very quickly, and finally appeared behind Mrs. Liu.

Seeing the other party coming back, Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Chenyue and Chi Rou who were far away, tried the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, found an excuse and went to the other side, and asked indifferently as she walked: "Where are they going?" What did you say?" The maid repeated the previous conversation between the two.

After Mrs. Liu finished listening, a mocking smile rose from the corner of her mouth. As expected of a bastard born from a lowly hoof, she really looked like her own mother. It's ridiculous.

Mrs. Liu has been the mistress of the house for so many years, so she naturally understood what Liu Chenyue meant. She might have heard about Chi Rou and Yu Xiaochu's grievances from somewhere, and deliberately approached each other. Point at the other party, let the other party's elder brother belittle the other party, ruin Yu Xiaochu's reputation, and then Yu Xiaochu will naturally not be able to enter the palace.

Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes, and plucked a handful of flower branches, and the remaining flowers immediately fell down: "Find someone to get close to that Chi Luan, and hint at what kind of honor you will get if you marry Miss Liu. Remember, tell me carefully." .”

Liu Chenyue, Liu Chenyue, since you like these dirty things behind the scenes so much, as the mistress, how can you not make good plans for you?
On the other side, Chu Qing didn't know that she had been hated by others, so she went to the study with her followers, and after the people in the study left, Uncle Liu stood up and came to help Chu Qing up: " They are all from my own family, why are you being polite? You are alone, and the old man has long regarded you as his own daughter, why are you still so polite after seeing the old man for so long?"

Chu Qing respectfully said: "Uncle Guo is like the living parents of the students, and the students also respect Uncle Guo very much in their hearts, but the etiquette cannot be dismissed. This is the heart of the students for Uncle Guo."

What Chu Qing said in a few words, Uncle Guo was extremely comfortable, and the little bit of suspicion before was eliminated. No matter how you look at it, it was impossible for the other party to deliberately hide it from him, so he also went straight to the point: "Little Chu! , Speaking of which, have a lot of adults been dealt with suddenly in the court recently?"

Chu Qing's eyes were clear, giving people a very upright feeling: "Uncle Guo, you have heard about it, yes, this is the emperor's big move, and let all the officials who are corrupt, embezzled, and bribed be strictly investigated. I secretly heard that I have been investigating for a long time. After the investigation, the cases of these officials will be handed over separately for us to review and judge the cases quickly. This is not true. The students have also received a few these days. Your majesty is really capable, real people really have problems..."

Uncle Liu Guo has always known that this person is very upright, and he is not constrained by integrity. Now that he hears the other party praise the emperor so much, he really feels uncomfortable, but thinking about it, he also thinks that the other party would not know about the list. It is impossible for the other party to know how to see the handwriting.

Liu Guojiu was relieved, thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, it's okay to call you here this time, but... next time, if the emperor entrusts you with these cases again, can you inform the old man in advance?"

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately, spreading the awe of Rumu: "Uncle Guo, you finally arranged for me to do something after so long, it's no problem, if I get the case, I will definitely come and tell you Uncle Guo! Uncle Guo, don’t worry! The student’s loyalty to Uncle Guo..."

After Chu Qing praised him again, Uncle Liu Guo was satisfied and let him go.

Chu Qing didn't care. Anyway, she investigated all these officials secretly. At the beginning, she was afraid of being discovered by Uncle Liu Guo. Therefore, in addition to the people on the list, there were other cases in these cases. The cases on the list were handed over to the emperor for him to assign to other confidantes to handle, but she handled the cases that were not on the list. Even if she told Liu Guojiu that it was not his own person, he would not intervene.

Just thinking about going to the palace later, Chu Qing felt a little headache. It was the first time she took the initiative to go to the palace to see Li Tianxiao after so long, and she always felt uncomfortable.

But what Chu Qing didn't expect was that as soon as she returned to the room, she felt a wave of ambergris coming from the door when she opened the door. A secret passage was created by Li Tianxiao, and he couldn't help but look behind the screen: "Your Majesty, didn't you open a secret passage in the study? Why did you also open a secret passage in Wei Chen's room?"

Li Tianxiao casually walked out from the screen, seemed to be in a good mood, looked at it and said: "It's nothing, this is not leading to the outside, but directly leads to the study, so you don't need to detour to go to the study."

Chu Qing: "..." Is it convenient for the emperor to come here directly?

But Chu Qing didn't dare to say these words, she could only walk up to Li Tianxiao respectfully, and bowed: "My minister has seen the emperor."

Li Tianxiao didn't know what kind of happy event had happened, and his eyes were always smiling. He even sat down at the table by himself, and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit, let's talk."

As soon as Chu Qing heard this, she felt a headache. What are you talking about?Business or private?Don't talk about personal matters!
However, Chu Qing didn't dare to say it out. When she walked over, she naturally didn't sit where Li Tianxiao was taking pictures, but sat opposite Li Tianxiao, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing appearance, as if she was very respectful to the other party, but this kind of respect Only the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers, it seems that the two people are estranged.

If it was in the past, Li Tianxiao would definitely be very unhappy to see this scene, but today he is in a good mood, and it is rare for him to ignore Chu Qing's alienated appearance, and asked directly: "I heard that Uncle Liu Guo asked you to go there again?"

Chu Qing had already guessed that he was going out on the front foot, and the emperor probably knew about it, so he nodded: "Yes, Uncle Liu Guo probably sensed that something was wrong recently, so he asked the little minister what was going on, and the little minister was fooled. In the past, Uncle Liu Guo then asked Weichen if he could tell him about the cases he was assigned in the future."

Li Tianxiao asked, "How did you return?"

Chu Qing told Li Tianxiao what he had said before, and after explaining it, he finally said: "In this way, even if Uncle Liu Guo saw who the minister wanted to deal with in advance, he probably wouldn't intervene."

Li Tianxiao nodded: "Well, I knew Xiao Chu that you wouldn't let me down. If that's the case, then I'll tell them not to let you handle the cases on the list."

Chu Qing stood up with lowered eyes, and said respectfully: "Yes, I obey." After she said this, she seemed to have finished talking about the emperor and you can go, and Li Tianxiao nodded very eloquently: "Okay , it's not too late, and I've been quite busy recently, so I'll go back first."

Just walking towards the secret passage, when passing by Chu Qing, the corner of the other party's mouth raised, stopped, turned slightly sideways, moved his thin lips, and said to Chu Qing: "Speaking of it, it's been so long, Bing Deng It's well maintained." After all, no matter how Chu Qing raised her eyes suddenly, she was in a happy mood with a smile on the corner of her mouth, it turned out that it was really good to tease the other party.

Chu Qing looked at Li Tianxiao with a broken face and swaggered away from the secret passage. She seemed to have regained her senses and rushed towards the grid behind the screen. Both the grid and the hairpin were open, her whole body froze, her face turned red immediately, and when she opened it, she saw that the ice lantern had been seen, and the red bean hairpin that Li Tianxiao asked her to throw away had also been seen by him. ...

Chu Qing stroked his brows, and couldn't help but glared fiercely at the secret passage, but he didn't expect the secret passage to open again. Li Tianxiao just saw the other party's dainty look, and his mood became better. It's Joy: "I suddenly forgot to say that you picked up that hairpin unexpectedly. Since I didn't throw it away, I gave it to you. Anyway, it was given to you. Keep it well, anyway, it's a royal gift. In the future It can be kept as a family heirloom.”

Chu Qing: "..." She watched in dismay as Li Tianxiao really left contentedly this time, she couldn't help but think, return the family treasure?What about your face, Your Majesty?

Chu Qing's pretty face was flushed red, but she refused to admit that she left the hairpin.Can't she just throw it away if she doesn't want to waste it?

It's just...just...Chu Qing raised her hand to cover her arm, lay on the bed for a long time, and couldn't help but gritted her teeth and shouted: "Li Tianxiao!"

For the next half month, Li Tianxiao didn't hand over the case to Chu Qing, who was busy with other cases in the government office. Uncle Liu Guo saw that the other party had not been appointed by the emperor, although he was impatient, but during this time he I was busy with other things, so I didn't have time to pay attention to it. Uncle Liu Guo's most important thing was the imperial examination in March. Li Tianxiao listened to Chu Qing's suggestion in advance and went to get to know the people who participated in the imperial examination. The energy teased Chu lightly, and Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

After the top three were settled down and took office, Chu Qing really knew who the top three were, and when the three of them took office, she also saw Tanhualang among the top three in the court for the first time, which surprised Chu Qing. However, Tanhualang is an acquaintance, or a person who can't be more acquainted.

After Chu Qing stepped down, when she walked out from the side door, she was a little curious about Tan Hualang, but when she turned her head and saw him, she couldn't help being stunned. It took a long time for Chu Qing to come back to her senses: How could it be him? ?
The new Tanhua Lang probably had been stared at by the other party for too long, but he walked up directly, with a gentle look, and saluted, which was much different from the one he remembered, almost giving Chu Qing a feeling that the other party had gone overnight. The feeling of maturity.

Chu Qing blinked her eyes, watching the other party regain her senses because of the doubts in her dazed eyes. She had already changed her appearance, and the other party probably didn't know who she was.
