Chapter 91

About the relationship between Shen Xin and Mu Nianqiu and the Queen Mother's friend-enemy relationship was vividly spread in the palace, and even Gu Qi had heard about it.

When asked about Chu Yan, Chu Yan paused the chopsticks in her hand, then raised her head with a smile, and gave Gu Qi a piece of meat: "Your Highness has been busy all day, are you hungry?"

Gu Qi's face darkened, and he asked again: "Did you do it?"

"I did it?" Chu Yan looked surprised, "I stay in Yong'an Palace all day long, either reading or embroidering. How could I go out and spread these rumors?"

"Come on less." Gu Qi knew that she was cheating again when he saw her innocent expression. He squinted his eyes, put down his chopsticks, lifted her to sit on his lap, and asked seriously, "If you don't go out, what next?" Your minion always has legs, right?"

Chu Yan continued to make jokes: "Ah, the legs are growing on them, how can I control it? Why is Your Highness so strict with me? Is this trying to teach me what it means to commit a crime without excuse?"

She had a hippie smile on her face, the more cheerful her expression, the more ghostly she was.

Gu Qi glanced at her, and instead of laughing with her, he carried her back to the seat beside him, and shouted to the outside: "Bring me up."

Chu Yan secretly thought something was wrong, and as expected, Chong Shan was led up by Wan Xi, with a dejected and worried look.

Seeing her, the little eunuch was overjoyed, but then he looked at the stern-faced prince with trepidation.

Gu Qi glanced at Chu Yan, and asked Chong Shan: "What did you say in front of Changchun Garden in the afternoon?"

Chong Shan's face froze, and he looked at Chu Yan as if asking for help.

Chu Yan sighed, and she had already guessed that this matter could not be hidden from Gu Qi, but his reaction was bigger than expected... It seems that she underestimated the severity of his treatment of everything in the palace.

She turned her head to look at Gu Qi, the corners of her mouth drooped a little, and she called helplessly, "Your Highness."

Gu Qi ignored her, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Chong Shan in a deep voice: "Don't you understand my words? If you don't understand, I'm afraid these ears are useless, drag it down, cut it and throw it away."

He is always like this, he won't get angry, but when he gets angry, his face will be rigid and his voice will be lowered, and he looks even more gloomy than Rakshasa.

Chong Shan knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not joking, if the servants in the palace were talkative, they would slap their mouths at least, or scald their throats and drive them out of the palace; if they couldn't listen to their master, they would often cut off their ears and drive them out.

He is in trouble now, if he doesn’t tell the truth, it’s disobedience, and his ears will be lost; if he tells the truth, it’s talking too much, and his throat will be gone...

The 15-year-old eunuch is clever and clever. When faced with such a life-and-death event, he still panicked. His feet softened, and he knelt on the ground and began to kowtow. Yes, I got it wrong..."

Chu Yan wanted to laugh for some reason, this guy was still playing tricks, he just admitted his mistake, but he didn't say where he was wrong, and he was still fooling the prince after a long time.

Of course, she also knew that Zhongshan was not trying to fool the past with audacity, but for her sake.

She ordered the matter, and Zhongshan didn't know how she wanted to make it happen. If she said it rashly and ruined her plan, it would be bad.So at the risk of angering the prince, he is still helping her delay the time.

Before Gu Qi got angry, Chu Yan finally said, "Your Highness, don't argue with Chong Shan, everything is my idea."

Gu Qi turned his head and looked at her sincere face. The latter added more than one sentence: "You let the heavy mountain go down first, let's... let's talk it out behind closed doors, will it work?"

The searching gaze, the tone of discussion... Gu Qi's face darkened. In front of all the servants, is she knowingly breaking the law and ignoring the palace rules like this?

Who in this palace made a mistake and didn't immediately bow down and apologize honestly?But she is special, if she made a mistake, don't tell her, she will pay her debt first!After paying the bill, he is still begging and flattering him, so he has to talk about it behind closed doors!

The anger in Gu Qi's heart was that he hated iron for being weak.

But what can be done?In front of all the palace people, is she going to smear her face and make her unable to step down in public?

This is still the Crown Princess who has just taken the throne, if even he doesn't give her face, who will obey her among the servants here?
Gu Qi twisted his face so much that water dripped out, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Get down!"

The servants went out the door in an orderly manner, and Hanzhi was the last to go out, and even closed the door behind him.

Gu Qi narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at Chu Yan, and frowned when he saw the smiling face, "Stop making jokes about me!"

Other things can be tolerated, but things that violate the palace rules-absolutely not!
Gu Qi has been educated on how to be a qualified king since he was a child, from governing ministers to punishing villains, and everyone in between is clearly rewarded and punished and treated fairly.

But what Chu Yan did today crossed the line, he can ignore her making allies, and he can ignore her planning strategies against the enemy, but spreading rumors and shaking people's hearts in the palace of calling people is not enough.

Chu Yan knew that he was principled, but she didn't expect that he was not accommodating at all. Fortunately, he didn't get angry at her in front of the servant, making her unable to step down.

Seeing that she didn't smile anymore, Gu Qi just sat there obediently, buried his head, and didn't say a word.

My heart was still a little soft all the time, although I still had a straight face, but my lips were not so tight, I just asked her in a cold voice: "What's going on?"

Chu Yan knew in her heart that he was asking the question knowingly, and she knew the whole story, so she insisted on telling the whole story.

"I know that the queen mother punished Mu Nianqiu and then summoned Shen Xin. Her intention was obvious to suppress the former and promote the latter." She lowered her head, bit her lip, and said after a while, "I just I can't get used to someone with the surname Shen, that's why...that's why..."

"That's why I made such a bad plan to ask people to spread rumors everywhere, make her enemies, and make her a target of public criticism. Even the queen mother has become your target, right?" He completed for her.

Chu Yan was speechless and nodded silently.

Your Royal Highness, you are done thinking about it, and you still ask me what to do?Looking for a sense of accomplishment?

Gu Qi had a headache.

You said Duanduan is such a smart girl, why are you so stupid when it comes to this matter?
"What are you doing with that surnamed Shen? In terms of beauty, she is not as good as you; in terms of talent, she is not as good as the others; even in terms of family background and background, she is not the most outstanding. To embarrass her?"

Chu Yan wanted to stand up and accuse him arrogantly: Don't you just don't want me to deal with her and ruin your plan?You have a good plan, you want her and Mu Nianqiu to restrain each other, and drive Shen Junfeng and Mu Qingzhuo apart, so even if you don't like her, you will still act like you love her.Now it's my fault for dealing with her!

But she couldn't say anything.

She just firmly remembers the day when she came to this dynasty, in that long nightmare, she saw the real Zhao Chuyan wearing a gorgeous palace dress, drinking poisonous wine with hollow eyes, and Wanxi said to her pitifully : "Young concubine, this is what the emperor means."

The emperor thought that she had killed Shen Shuyuan's child, so he personally gave her a pot of dove poison.

Shen Shuyuan, Shen Xin.

Chu Yan never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world, and even if it was a coincidence, she had to beware of this Shen Xin.Because Shen Xin has already had her own thoughts since she was a six-year-old girl, even if she is not the Shen Shuyuan in her previous life, she is absolutely uneasy and kind.

Chu Yan doesn't want to take risks, not even letting her follow Gu Qi's plan on the path of "seemingly being favored". It's better to kill her little flame in the cradle, just in case.

God knows whether the man in front of him is reliable, whether he will do the fake show for real, as Shen Xin wished.If there is a day when there is an extra Shen Shuyuan in the harem, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for her.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan lowered her eyes, and said slowly: "When I was six years old, when I first entered the palace, Qingyang deceived me that I had just entered the palace and had no one to protect me. At that time, it happened that the emperor was doting on Ronghuang noble concubine, and my aunt lost her power. I faced Qingyang's bullying in Mingyangzhai alone, and no one helped me."

Gu Qi was startled, he didn't expect that she would suddenly talk about the past.

"Shen Xin, as my reading companion, went to Ming Yang Zhai to study with me every day, but when faced with Qing Yang's criticism, she never helped me, even if she stood up and said a word, or stopped Qing Yang The act of deceiving me...has never happened before."

Just as Gu Qiqi was about to speak, Chu Yan suddenly raised her head and smiled at him, "Your Highness wants to say that everyone was still young at that time, and Shen Xin was a cowardly character, so naturally she didn't dare to stand up and offend Qingyang, who is the princess, right?"

Gu Qi nodded hesitantly.

Chu Yan smiled mockingly: "Your Highness, do you remember when I cried and asked my aunt to drive her out of the palace so that she would not be my companion? She stood by and watched the bullying, but because she and Qingyang were the same."

"When did I have a new handkerchief on me, how did Qingyang know about it? If Shen Xin hadn't told the news, how could Qingyang have been snatched away and wasted in front of my face?"

"I wear the black jade bracelet that my aunt just gave me. How did Qingyang know? Every time I squat down, after a while, I always get dizzy when I get up. How did Qingyang know that I can Push me into the pool when I'm not prepared?"

Chu Yan asked countless whys in a row, and finally smiled with her lips curled up, her eyes were cold: "That is only a six-year-old child, she already has so many thoughts, do I still dare to keep her by my side? But today, After I finally pushed her away, His Highness personally took her into the palace. You can say that I have a small belly and a vengeful heart, or that I am suspicious and reassuring, but I just don’t want to see such a person who plotted against me since childhood. In the harem, he made his way to the top and acted like a domineering power."

Speaking of this, she smiled and stared straight at Gu Qi: "I have no objection to how your highness wants to punish me, but... please don't make things difficult for your highness. I ordered him to do everything. , has nothing to do with him, if he doesn't obey, I will blame him."

After hearing these words, Gu Qi's anger had already subsided.

He couldn't be more clear about how she lived in the days after she entered the palace, because he watched her being bullied, but because of her status, he stood by and treated her coldly.

Looking back now, he witnessed her falling into the water, being raped, and fighting with Qingyang... The little girl was obviously weak, but she still had to erect thorns all over her body to protect herself.

How did he become so cruel?

However, this "small belly" girl is about to be punished, and she is still thinking about her loyal servant, it really is... it makes people speechless.

How did she manage to blend the small belly and the tolerant body so perfectly?
Gu Qiming obviously wanted to punish her, so that she would have to think carefully about whatever she did in the future, so as not to do such mindless things like today.

She is a crown princess, and when he ascends the throne in the future, she will be a queen, a person who is the mother of the world, how can she lower her status and go to do such unstyled things?
But as soon as his anger dissipated, he couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her aggrieved and forbearing look when she talked about the past.

Sighing, Gu Qi didn't say anything to her, got up and walked out the door, looked at the heavy mountain kneeling under the stone steps, and told Wanxi who was guarding the door: "Take it down and get fifty boards."

Chu Yan's heart tightened in the room, and she almost stood up and shouted "No".

How could he be involved in a lot of trouble because of her?

But in the next second, Gu Qi seemed to look back slightly at her tense face, then turned his head and said to Chong Shan expressionlessly: "If you still have strength after fifty boards, go down and receive the reward yourself."

He gave Wanxi some instructions, probably about what kind of reward he would receive.

Chu Yan was startled, what's the reason?Being boarded and receiving rewards...

Gu Qi went back to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate the piece of meat she just gave him. It was already cold, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Seeing Chu Yan standing there in a daze, he frowned, and knocked on her bowl impatiently, "Eat."

Hearing this, Chu Yan also picked up the chopsticks slowly and started to eat.

The meal was already cold, she didn't taste much, but she was thinking about the prince's psychology in her heart.

This time she was really confused.

Gu Qi probably also saw that she couldn't figure out why and couldn't eat. The bowl of rice, which was not very hot at first, was stirred and stirred by her, it was very sad to watch!
He put down his chopsticks, and calmly called out, "Chu Yan."

"Huh?" She quickly looked up at him.

Such a foolish appearance is no longer as shrewd as it used to be.

Gu Qi sighed in his heart, shook his head, and said to her: "I punished Chongshan because he didn't distinguish between good and bad, and helped the evildoers. If you asked him to spread rumors and disturb the palace, he really did it. And I rewarded Chongshan. , because he loyally protects the lord, even under the punishment of cutting off my ears, he never betrayed you."

"I hope that your mother will be respected in the world, and I hope that you will win the hearts of the people. Chongshan is a good slave, and he only thinks of you. I punished him for you to let him know how to restrain his cleverness, and don't dare to do anything. And I will punish him for you. When you reward him, you also want him to understand that only when you wholeheartedly focus on you will you have good results."

He spoke calmly and seriously, and there seemed to be something different in his eyes.

Chu Yan was startled, and then realized that His Royal Highness still had a side she didn't understand.

In her eyes, he is a somewhat tolerant and not strong enough prince above the court, who is fledgling and not powerful enough.

He was also the man in front of her who fell in love, occasionally affectionate, but under the interference of the government and the world, more often he was a little ruthless towards her.

He will vent his anger, be powerless, impulsive, and confused.

But right now, he is a calm and wise prince, calmly analyzing for her how to buy people's hearts.

The prince seemed to have grown up a bit, and he was no longer the person she could see through completely.

When did it start?
Maybe it was from the day when the emperor left the palace and took the two people closest to him away from him; maybe it was from the day when the courtiers forced her to make her the crown princess; Or maybe it was from the day when she learned of her mother's death and began to know how to protect her behind her; more likely, it was from the simple courtyard on the other side of the Mo River, because of the hesitation and guilt that crushed her. A cup, from the day it was enlightened by the Sixth Prince.

Chu Yan clearly understood that she was in the same boat as him, and she would only be strong if he was strong.

But now when he is really on the road to becoming a wise king little by little, she suddenly feels a little uneasy, because she doesn't know that when he grows up and she gradually loses sight of him, she can continue to adopt Did the tender offensive trap him in the name of love?
Chu Yan thought about it but failed, so she picked up a bigger piece of meat with her chopsticks and gave him a flattering smile: "Your Highness, eat meat!"

Gu Qi's face darkened, he looked down at the red and white thing, narrowed his eyes, picked up the chopsticks and picked it back for her, "I'd better keep the fat meat that is so nutritious, Aifei should keep it for herself."
