Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 451 You Didn't Ask Me

"But they said it was for the prince."

Upon hearing that it was for the crown prince, Concubine Xian hurriedly said: "Then invite people in quickly, what are you still doing?"

Chu Zhi had been to Concubine Xian several times before, and she was familiar with the palace people in her palace. In addition, she spent a lot of money, and Han Zhan was outside waiting for Concubine Xian to summon him. Not long to go.

The palace man also said: "The crown prince had a dispute with our empress, and now the empress is angry, the concubine should be careful when answering."

Chu Zhi understood that the prince might have conflicts with Concubine Xian because of that position.

Then he thanked the palace maid and gave the money again, but the palace maid blushed and didn't want it, and Chu Zhi didn't force it.

As soon as the palace people left, Concubine Xian sent someone to invite Chu Zhi and Han Zhan in.

In front of Concubine Xian Gui, cheer up: "Little Hou Ye is free to enter the palace today."

Han Zhan smiled very naturally: "If you go back to your mother, Weichen is here to accompany Zhizhi."

If it was normal, Concubine Xian might still make fun of Chu Zhi, but right now she really doesn't have the strength.

He asked directly, "Are you here for the prince?"

Chu Zhi saw that the noble concubine Xian was not in good spirits and her complexion was extremely gloomy, so she knew that the conversation with the prince was not going well.

She pondered for a while: "Your Majesty, could you please turn away from the left and right sides."

Concubine Xian gave Zhong Nanny a wink, and Zhong Nanny left to treat others, leaving only the three of them in the hall.

"Well, what's wrong with the prince?"

Chu Zhi sighed: "What I said, I still hope that the empress will not get angry. It's like this. I promised the empress before that I would support the prince to sit in that position, but now the prince has repeatedly refused, and I came here to ask the empress for advice."

"He can't help this matter!" Concubine Xian said coldly, "I have worked so hard to plan for so long just to get him to sit in that position. If he says he doesn't want to, he won't? Where is it placed?"

This……

Chu Zhi and Han Zhan looked at each other. They seemed to have overlooked a problem. Because of their preconceived notions, they felt that Concubine Xiangui was devoted to the prince. Sitting in the position of queen mother to control the government?

As soon as this idea came up, Chu Zhi immediately denied it.

Then he said: "I know that the empress has paid a lot for the prince. The empress's love for the prince is real. Even the princess is not as good as the prince. It is a good thing that the empress wants the prince to sit in that position, just like the empress said. Yes, that was originally the position of the prince, but the prince doesn't want that position at the moment. I think the empress understands the prince's character better than I do. He has said more than once that he wants to live a leisurely life, since the empress loves the prince , then you should give him what he really wants, after all, honey is like honey and arsenic is like second, the empress should really care about the prince's feelings."

Hearing Chu Zhi's words, Concubine Xian was furious: "What? Did you all come here to teach me a lesson today? Do you all think that Bengong did something wrong? Xiao Yichen is so strong that he doesn't need the throne. But I can't just watch him die, you should understand better than me that his loss of the crown prince means death, and he has no choice at all!"

Chu Zhi said: "That's because we all think that the only one who can take that position is the fourth prince, but what if the fourth prince can't do it?"

"Who isn't the prince?" Concubine Xian sneered, "Could it be your little prince?"

Han Zhan who was named quickly waved his hands: "Don't, don't, don't say that, my lady, how can I have that ability?"

He gets up earlier than a chicken, sleeps later than a dog, and works harder than a cow. He eats enough to be the emperor.

Concubine Xian Gui sneered: "You really don't have one, so you make a fool of yourself, it's only suitable for eating and waiting to die."

Han Zhan, who was scolded, didn't care. He touched his nose: "I think what the imperial concubine said is very true. It is a blessing for people like me to be able to eat and wait to die."

Every time at this time, Han Zhan can't help but sigh, what kind of virtues did he accumulate in his previous life? When he was reincarnated in the Hou Mansion, he didn't need to study hard to get fame, let alone think about practicing martial arts to fight the enemy. All he needed to do was to be a carefree playboy It was enough, what a wonderful day for a fairy, I dare not even think about it, where did he get this blessing!
Facing Han Zhan's proud and smug expression, Concubine Xian swallowed the words that came to her lips.

She looked at Han Zhan for a while, and suddenly he laughed angrily.

"I've never seen such a brazen person like you, and it's the first time that you say that you don't want to make progress so fresh and refined."

After this interruption, most of Concubine Xian's anger disappeared, and her whole person became much milder.

Seeing this, Han Zhan winked at Chu Zhi, signaling her to continue.

Chu Zhi eased his tone, and said in a gentle voice: "Madam, the prince values ​​friendship the most, and is recognized as a clear-minded person. He can take the initiative to tell you that he has no intention of succeeding to the throne. He must have thought it through carefully and there is no room for maneuver." , in that case, why don't you fulfill the prince? Although I don't have a deep relationship with the prince, I also know that the prince doesn't like life in the palace. If you insist on pushing the prince to a high position, it's like putting an eagle in a cage. Then all that awaits the eagle is endless suffering and pain, and..."

Chu Zhi paused for a moment, "I'm going to say something disrespectful. If the first queen was here, I might not want to see you and the prince like this. Although I have never met the first queen, I say that the first queen is very gentle and kind. People, the common people have praised the former empress countless times. I think that such a magnanimous empress would definitely not want the prince to do things she doesn't like. After all, the most important thing for a mother is to make her child healthy, safe and successful. That's enough."

Hearing Chu Zhi mention Empress Rende, Concubine Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and the expression on her face changed.

After Chu Zhi finished speaking for a long time, Concubine Xian sneered: "Although I have exempted you from the ceremony, you can call yourself 'I' in front of me, but you are so bold that even the former empress dared to criticize you."

"Mistress Mingjian, I am not criticizing, but praising. After all, everyone knows that Empress Empress is an excellent person. I really respect her."

"You said that the first queen was tolerant, so you're just trying to change the way to say that this palace is aggressive!"

Chu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, you just care about it and you will be confused. This shows that you put His Highness the Crown Prince in your heart."

Concubine Xian Gui sneered: "I have underestimated you. You have always been eloquent, with a brilliant tongue, so you can naturally turn black into white."

Chu Zhi neither defended nor admitted, just smiled and stopped talking.

This is all I have said, if I say it again, it will definitely cause the displeasure of the noble concubine, so let's stop everything.

But Chu Zhi knew that Concubine Xiangui had listened.

Sure enough, after a while, Concubine Xian asked: "You said that besides the fourth prince, there are other princes who can take that position. Do you have a candidate?"

If this is the case, could it also mean that Chu Zhi and Han Zhan saw that the crown prince was gone, had already selected someone, and then secretly persuaded the crown prince to come to her as a water lesson in the end?
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian's eyes flashed fiercely.

Her crown prince can not want the throne, but he can't be teased by others.

"Back to your majesty, we don't know either," Chu Zhi smiled and said, "This is what His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned, but we don't know who the Crown Prince is interested in, so we came to ask your Majesty for advice. With a close relationship, we will definitely know a thing or two, and this is also the purpose of our entering the palace today."

"You say you don't know either?"

"Exactly."

Concubine Xian heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was worrying too much.

"I will ask the prince about this." Concubine Xiangui said, "I just have to ask something clearly, what if there is no suitable candidate? If the fourth prince takes that position, have you thought about the situation of the prince?"

Thinking of the fate of the prince who died early in the previous life, Chu Zhi really couldn't guarantee it.

But in her previous life, didn't she also marry Gu Changyan and lived a miserable life, in that case, she believed that nothing would happen to the prince.

What's more, she has long promised Concubine Xian that no matter what happens, she will protect the prince well.

Just as Chu Zhi was about to speak, he heard Han Zhan say, "Could Rongchen discuss with your empress alone at this time?"

Concubine Xian glanced at Chu Zhi, who also looked at Han Zhan in surprise, obviously she didn't know what Han Zhan was going to say.

Then nodded and nodded: "Of course."

Han Zhan whispered to Chu Zhi, "Zhizhi, wait for me outside first."

Chu Zhi smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."

Chu Zhi waited for about two cups of tea before Han Zhan finally came out.

"It's over." Han Zhan said with a smile when he saw Chu Zhi for the first time, "Don't worry, this matter is over."

"What did you say to Concubine Xian?" Chu Zhi was curious.

"You don't need to ask about it, anyway, you know that this matter is done."

Seeing that Han Zhan had made up his mind not to speak, Chu Zhi didn't ask any further questions, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.

She smiled: "It's okay."

Han Zhan refused, and looked at Chu Zhi: "Aren't you curious? Don't you ask?"

He has a little secret about Zhizhi, but Zhizhi doesn't care at all.

why?
Is it because Zhizhi really doesn't care, or because Zhizhi doesn't care about him at all, so he doesn't care about his concealment?
"Zhizhi, do you not love me at all!"

Chu Zhi thought that Han Zhan was playing with her again, and was about to tease him, but when he saw that his expression was wrong, he asked, "Why did you suddenly ask?"

"You don't even ask me what I'm hiding from you. If you care about me, I will definitely be upset and force you to ask me." Just like he doesn't like to hide things from him.

Chu Zhi laughed: "Then if I asked you, would you say it?"

Han Zhan shook his head.

"Then it's over." Originally, Chu Zhi was fine, but for some reason, Han Zhan's two words made him angry, "I asked you, and you can't tell me, why should I ask?" What's more, you concealed me, and I didn't tell you, so you still have the nerve to tell me?"

"But that's different!" Han Zhan said hurriedly, "I won't tell you if you asked, and I won't tell you if you didn't ask, those are two different concepts!"
