When Chu Qingyan and his party came to the council hall, the eunuch who was guarding outside greeted them with a wink. Who didn't know that this was the heart of the master inside.
"Wangfei Niangniang, why are you here? The prince is still discussing with the ministers." The eunuch asked kindly and diligently.
"I have a business here, please let Eunuch Li report to you." Chu Qingyan replied with a smile.
When Eunuch Li heard that he dared to delay, he quickly said, "The servant will go in and report."
Xiao Xu was in the middle of planning the reconstruction of the city with several important officials in the court. When he heard the report, his eyebrows lit up and the memorials in his hands were also put away. Those ministers were all very talented. Seeing this, they immediately got up and said these questions. They take it home to think about it and reply tomorrow.
Xiao Xu nodded, everyone was emptied at once, and when Chu Qingyan came in, he was the only one left in the council chamber.
"I'm interrupting your work."
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Xu immediately went up to meet her, hugged her waist and walked to the dragon chair. Hearing this, he smiled softly. The little guy said this without any sincerity at all. He placed her on the chair and raised his hand. Pinching her cheek, she said with concern, "What made you so eager to see me?"
Chu Qingyan glanced at him, still so calm now, you will suffer later.
"Frankly and leniently, have you encountered any trouble recently? If you dare to hide it from me!" She showed a sly smile, "I will take the baby out of the palace to live, so as not to get in your way!"
Xiao Xu's eyes flashed slightly, "You know?"
"Hmph, if I hadn't found out by accident, how long would you plan to hide from me?" Chu Qingyan pointed at his nose angrily.
Xiao Xu coughed softly, "What are you referring to?"
Chu Qingyan's eyes widened when she heard the words, "So you're hiding more than one thing from me, stinky ice cubes, these days will never end!"
Saying he got up and gestured to leave, Xiao Xu put his arms around him, and immediately took her into his arms again, coaxing her in a good voice, "Okay, my fault, what do you want to know, I said, I will never hide it from you again. !"
Sure enough, what Kong Ling said was right, a pregnant woman was different from usual, temperamental, easy to lose and sad, and as a husband, he naturally had to suffer.
"In view of your sincere attitude of admitting your mistake, then I will forgive you once. Let's talk, what happened to the rumors among the people? The imperial decree has been issued, and you are the legitimate heir. Is it possible that there are still fakes?"
Chu Qingyan snorted softly, and then returned to the business.
Xiao Xu took a sip of the hot tea on the table and then slowly explained it to her.
"Someone spread rumors that I led soldiers to force the palace, murdered the emperor, and falsely preached imperial edicts. The crime is unforgivable. Now this rumor is spreading in Kyoto and surrounding towns, but don't worry, I have already sent someone to deal with it."
Sure enough, what I said to my friends was right.
Chu Qingyan frowned lightly and thought about it, and suddenly a warm fingertip tapped between her brows, trying to rub her worries away, "There's nothing to worry about, the soldiers will block the water and cover up."
She pulled his hand down in her palm and asked, "Do you know who is behind the incitement of public opinion?"
"There is no result yet, but it is very likely that it is the rest of the Fu family." Xiao Xu played with her fingers, not paying much attention to the authentic.
Seeing that he didn't care, Chu Qingyan raised her hand and poked his chest, "Why do you look like you're doing nothing, I'm worried for nothing?"
Xiao Xu smiled in a low voice, seeing his chin resting on the top of her hair, his voice had a soft tone, "Ayan, do you think it's good to be the emperor of this world?"
Hearing his tone of coaxing a child, Chu Qingyan snorted lightly, but still caught the melancholy in his words, lowered his eyebrows and thought about it carefully before saying, "Not good!"
"Why?" As if he had expected her to answer like this, Xiao Xu continued, "Is it bad to sit in the world, all the ministers worship, and the people submit, and no one dares to speak up?"
Chu Qingyan wrinkled her nose, intertwined her fingers with him, and said in a stern voice, "What you said is good in the eyes of many people, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, high and low, the height is too cold, what have you gained? What is lost accordingly. Do you see what happened to Emperor Xixuan in the end? But—"
When she said this, she pouted, "Look, you haven't become emperor yet, I'm about to become Wangfushi, I'd rather you be an idle prince than this."
When the words fell, she heard the chest vibration coming from her ear, and the muffled laughter couldn't be stopped. She looked up and saw that he couldn't help laughing, and immediately turned into a tigress, "Okay, how dare you laugh at me!" She waved her hands to let him know how powerful she was.
Xiao Xu grabbed her small fist and held her firmly in his arms, for fear that she would hurt himself by moving, so he said, "I'm not laughing at you, but what the lady said, and my husband feels the same. "
"Er?" She was stunned.
He followed her black hair, put his chin on top of her head again, and said slowly, "Don't worry about the rumors, the reason why I didn't ascend the throne immediately was to see what the people who were behind all this wanted to do, and lead the snake out of the hole, It's my plan."
Because of his frankness, Chu Qingyan gradually calmed down and listened to what he said.
Xiao Xu smiled and did not linger on this topic.
"Now this is not the most important thing. Xiao Ran's troops disappeared overnight, as if the world has evaporated. I plan to send someone to investigate."
Since the little guy cares about him so much, it's not a good idea to hide it. Instead of letting her listen to others, it's better to tell her by herself, so that she won't worry too much and affect the child in her stomach.
"Xiao Ran? He still has this ability?" Chu Qingyan was surprised.
"I'm afraid Concubine Yue has already joined him, and Yuegongmen is also helping him. There are many people around him who can use it." Xiao Xu said slowly, and his tone was not very concerned.
Seeing that he was as calm as jade, Chu Qingyan thought that everything should still be within his expectations, he was relieved, and then asked, "Who are you going to send to investigate?"
Xiao Xu paused with his fingers and looked at her with a sideways smile, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
After Chu Qingyan heard the words and thought about it, a thin and warm man suddenly flashed across her mind, her eyes lit up, "King Yi Ruhe?"
Xiao Xu nodded, "He is a good candidate. He is not only a literary talent, but also a general. He used to pretend to be sick and hide his clumsiness. Now, if he is left to do nothing, he will really bury his talents."
She shook her head, "It's not just for this reason, but this time I went back to the palace and saw that something was wrong with King Yi. How can I say it?" She thought hard about what words to use to describe it, and finally she had a flash of inspiration, "It seems that there is no love in life, although It's a bit bad to describe it like this, but I'm a little worried, he is Zhijing's sweetheart after all."
"Should you tell him about Pang Zhijing?" Xiao Xu thought deeply.
