After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Today, the emperor planned life-long events for Chu Zhiyi in the name of helping Chu Zhiyi.

Therefore, at banquets, the emperor always talked about Qiu Yanping and Chu Zhiyi together, intentionally or unintentionally. Afterwards, Qiu Yanping's face turned red and she left the table on the pretext of being drunk.

When the banquet dispersed, Chu Zhiyi was left behind.

The Imperial Garden on a summer night is very different from what you see during the day.

Under the bright moonlight, the entire imperial garden took on a mysterious color. Occasionally, a few fireflies flew by in the distance, which reminded the emperor of the past.

"But still remember when you were a kid, you took your fifteenth brother here to catch fireflies?"

Chu Zhiyi's eyes darkened slightly, "I remember, my fifteenth brother accidentally fell into the water, contracted the wind and cold, and was ill for a long time."

For this, he was even punished by his mother and concubine.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh, "It was you and the fifteenth brother who fell into the water together. If I hadn't happened to pass by that day, you and the fifteenth brother would have returned to the west long ago!"

It's a pity that the fifteenth brother died at the hands of his compatriots during the prince's dispute that year.

Chu Zhiyi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

But the emperor suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, "Tsk, tell me how you grew up? Why did you suddenly become so tall? In my memory, you should still be a child!"

Chu Zhiyi then raised his lips and smiled, "Brother Huang has worked hard for the country, so naturally he will forget the passage of time."

The emperor nodded in agreement.

Yes, time flies by so fast!

His thirteenth brother is already so tall, and he is already old.

Thinking of this, he talked about Qiu Yanping again, "Tell me, how is that Miss Qiu?"

Chu Zhiyi pretended not to understand, "What?"

The emperor glared at him and said, "Stop pretending to me! You are already a grown-up. You don't even have a princess now. How can you be so cool? Qiu Yanping is Taifu Qiu's third granddaughter. She is the eldest member of the Qiu family. Her brother is today. Qiu Mao, the top scholar in the department, has a bright future.”

If you can marry Qiu Yanping, it is equivalent to marrying half of the Qiu family.

This was the candidate he finally thought of.

Thinking of this, the emperor added, "Although I am a bit older, wouldn't it be a good match for you? Are you going to be thirty in two years? It's time to start a family!"

Chu Zhiyi frowned, "My brother has no plans to start a family."

"Nonsense!" The emperor was a little displeased, "When men get married when they are young, when women get married when they are young, how can there be no reason not to start a family?"

Chu Zhiyi was silent for a moment, and then looked at the emperor, "My brother is covered in blood. No matter who he marries, he just ruined his girl."

Just because he doesn't say something doesn't mean he doesn't care.

Everything that happened in the past will haunt him for the rest of his life like a ghost.

He didn't want innocent people to suffer this crime with him.

The emperor also fell silent.

Under the silent night, the two brothers just stood there without saying a word.

I don’t know how long it took before the emperor sighed slightly and said, "Then you should give me a face and contact me first. If you really can't accept it, it's not too late to refuse."

Chu Zhiyi didn't respond, which was regarded as acquiescence.

The emperor has already said this, he can't even deny this face.

Seeing that he acquiesced to the matter, the emperor continued to turn around and walk forward, "Speaking of which, isn't it bad for you to contradict your sister-in-law in front of everyone today? She is the mother of a country after all."

The emperor wanted to remind Chu Zhiyi that he should be more or less considerate of him as the emperor's brother, and don't make it difficult for him.

How could Chu Zhiyi not understand?

But he said lightly, "It was the emperor's sister-in-law who first targeted Nian Nian and Shu Yuan. The emperor's brother should teach them well."

"Shu Yuan is indeed spoiled by me, but it's hard to change her temper now. Fortunately, she will get married in the future, and I won't be bothered by it." The emperor said this, quite unreasonably. look.

Chu Zhiyi was helpless and shook his head slightly.

Then the emperor continued, "Then, you will let Qiao Nian live in your house forever?"

"Yes." Chu Zhiyi responded calmly, "The palace can accommodate you."

"Nonsense!" The emperor rolled his eyes. He didn't know whether Chu Zhiyi was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. "What I mean is that her daughter lives in your house. What's going on? You don't give her a title. ?”

Chu Zhiyi frowned slightly, "She is my younger brother's adopted sister."

Isn’t this status good?

"It's a rule of the people like you, that anyone who is a sworn sister or sworn brother cannot be put on the stage." The emperor was quite disgusted. When he said this, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, "Otherwise, Should I make her a princess?"

"..." Chu Zhiyi looked at the emperor's expression. Even with the blessing of night, he could still see a hint of cunning on his face.

So, he asked in a deep voice, "Make her the princess, give her a palace, and then let Xiao Heng be responsible for the safety of the princess?"

How did the emperor know that his little thoughts were immediately seen through by Chu Zhiyi?

There was a bit of panic on his face, but he said, "I also have good intentions, but you don't know that when Qiao Nian fell into the Changyang River before, that kid from the Xiao family acted like crazy!"

"Then why was Nian Nian not crazy when he was sent to the Clothing Bureau three years ago?"

The emperor curled his lips, "Maybe he wasn't sober three years ago? Everyone has their youth! Besides, you have been missing for eight years, and Xiao He has been paralyzed for five years. If he hadn't been in front, I would have I don’t know how many people in Dajing will die at the hands of the Turks.”

The emperor couldn't help but think of the scars on Xiao Heng's body, and his eyebrows knitted with reluctance, "Those few battles he fought were too hard."

"What's wrong with him?"

Chu Zhiyi asked coldly, "What does it have to do with Nian Nian?"

How can you not suffer when you go to the battlefield?

How many people will never come back after this trip?

How many people are missing arms and legs and become disabled from then on?

How many people watched their brothers and sisters die tragically beside them but were powerless?

How many people crawled out of the pile of dead bodies?

It's hard, so what?

As long as you can defend your country and protect the peace of the people, it's worth it!

No matter how hard it is, the final glory belongs to him, Xiao Heng.

What does it have to do with Nian Nian?

Why use Nian Nian to comfort his suffering?

The emperor was blocked by Chu Zhiyi and couldn't say a word.

After a long time, she pointed at his nose and said, "Just protect her! I think you are blinded by that girl named Qiao!"

Facing the emperor's accusation, Chu Zhiyi did not refute at all, "This minister came back for two things, one is to clear the grievances of Tiger Guard, and the other is to protect her."

Now that Tiger Guard's grievances have been cleared, from now on, he only needs to do one thing: protect her.
