Not long after the news reached the princess's yard, the princess came over with Chu Jihan. The imperial edict was related to the royal family's face. It was impossible to let it go lightly. If the princess hadn't pinned her down on the bed, even the injured Prince An would have come over. .
After entering the old princess's house, the princess began to carefully inquire about the imperial edict. Although Princess Yaoyi and others were afraid of this, they did not dare to hide it. They testified to each other that although they had read the imperial edict, they only asked when they entered the ancestral hall. I saw one volume of imperial edict and didn't know where the other volume had gone.
At this time, Princess Yaoyi was very upset, thinking that today was really unlucky. Not only did she not have the chance to marry into Prince An's palace, but she also got involved in the incident of Prince An's palace throwing away the imperial edict.
While frowning, Princess Yaoyi suddenly remembered something and said to the princess, "Princess, before we entered the ancestral hall, we saw a little maid coming out of the ancestral hall in a panic. The ancestral hall was not locked at that time. Is it possible?" Could it be her hands and feet?"
"Do you still remember what she looks like?" the princess asked with a frown.
At this time, the girls who entered the ancestral hall together were all so frightened that their minds went blank. They all agreed with whatever the princess asked, and they didn't know if they really remembered it, so Yaoyi could still think clearly.
When the princess asked everyone, Chu Jihan's eyes fell on Su Ningxin. Su Ningxin was impatient and turned to glare at Chu Jihan.
[It’s useless for you to stare at me. I will definitely not tell you that I was the one who changed the decree.]
Chu Jihan: "???" It's really you? Why do you need an imperial edict
As the leader of the Dragon Guard beside the emperor, Chu Jihan did not think it was a big deal that the imperial edict was lost like the princesses and old princesses present. After all, the imperial edict was not an important edict.
It might be troublesome if those imperial edicts involving military power and conferring officials were lost, but it would not have any impact if the edicts conferring marriage like theirs were lost, not to mention that they were already married.
Even if it is really lost, the emperor will not be guilty of policing the county and prince's palace because of an imperial decree. Moreover, the emperor is currently worried about Prince Jing's affairs, so how can he care about such a trivial matter.
What surprised Chu Jihan was why Su Ningxin wanted to steal the imperial edict. Could it be that the marriage edict was more commemorative, right? Then she can just take it directly from the ancestral hall. How can the father, queen, mother and concubine not let her see it
"Ning'er, if you really feel uncomfortable, go back and rest." Chu Jihan put his arms around Su Ningxin's waist and said. His sudden movement made Su Ningxin lean against him with the help of inertia.
Su Ningxin raised her head and looked at Chu Jihan: "???" What's going on? I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I still want to watch the show.
Chu Jihan saw Su Ningxin's doubts and held her waist and brought her closer to him, hinting that Su Ningxin would cooperate with him.
Su Ningxin had no choice. Although she didn't know what medicine the other party was selling, she couldn't confront him, so she held her handkerchief and pretended to cough a few times.
When the princess who was questioning everyone heard Chu Jihan's words, she focused on the two people, paused for a moment and said, "You should accompany Ning'er back to rest. You two are not in good health, so don't stay here any longer."
The princess didn't think much about it. According to the previous practice, every time Chu Jihan used poor health as an excuse to leave, it was because he was impatient. Now that he had a daughter-in-law, it was different. He actually used her poor health as an excuse.
But it is indeed a mess here. If there is nothing wrong with Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin, it would be better to let them go back.
Su Ningxin was carried back to the courtyard by Chu Jihan, and only after the servants had retreated did the two of them communicate openly.
Chu Jihan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, then stared at Su Ningxin with a burning gaze, which made Su Ningxin feel guilty, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Look how many secrets you have hidden." Chu Jihan crossed his legs and said calmly, quite a bit like he had everything under his control.
Su Ningxin was really surprised, "How did you know?"
"I don't know you yet? Such a big thing must have been caused by you." Chu Jihan said proudly, and he would never tell Su Ningxin that he read her mind.
Su Ningxin was silent, thinking, "This person knows me so well. He must have been secretly in love with me for a long time. He must be secretly observing me all day long."]
You just know it, Chu Jihan thought with gritted teeth.
"What do you want to do?" Chu Jihan asked, suppressing his thoughts.
He didn't think Su Ningxin just wanted to steal the imperial edict for fun. What time is it now? The circumstances of Prince Jing's rebellion in the capital are still unknown, and Gu Mingxi and others have not been found. How could she be in the mood to play a prank.
Su Ning thought for a moment and decided to tell Chu Jihan. After all, he was her husband and she couldn't always treat him as an outsider.
"Wait for me to show you something." Su Ningxin said and turned around to look for something in the inner room, thinking to herself, "Be prepared to see if I don't scare you to death."]
Chu Jihan waited curiously and said disapprovingly, "Young master, I have seen the world, you still want to scare me?" joke.
"Ah~ Where did you come from? That imperial edict from before." After a moment, Chu Jihan unfolded the imperial edict that Su Ningxin showed him and couldn't help shouting. In fact, Su Ningxin felt that if it weren't for Chu Ji Han is a well-educated person, so that ah sound should be replaced with "fuck".
Chu Jihan held the imperial edict and looked at Su Ningxin with an unreal expression. This was the first time he saw a blank imperial edict, and it was also covered with a jade seal.
Aren’t imperial edicts always written first and then sealed? Can you seal the jade seal first and then write
Su Ningxin pulled the blank imperial edict from Chu Jihan's hand, "How is it? Do you know what I am doing?"
Chu Jihan's eyes fell on the imperial edict and he shook his head stiffly. Although he was a little deviant, he was still an ancient person, and his thinking level could not catch up with Su Ningxin.
Su Ningxin was accustomed to this, and patiently told him about the brocade box, letting him know the origin of the imperial edict.
Chu Jihan also knew about the secret incident between Prince Jing and the late emperor fighting for the throne. He understood it after Su Ningxin explained it briefly, and he also understood how the imperial edict came from.
"That is to say, you deceived the emperor into writing the imperial edict as it was originally written, but in fact you did not write it." Chu Jihan concluded, but it still felt very unreal.
"You don't have to worry, because when the emperor agreed to give me this imperial edict blank, he should have been able to guess what I was doing, but he just didn't point it out. You can feel more at ease if you keep the edict in your hand. If you really want to write it, Taking out other things would mean breaking up with the emperor." Su Ningxin explained that in fact, as long as the emperor didn't want to drag her out and kill her because of the queen's affairs, she would not use this imperial edict.
If that time really comes, it will be useless to use the imperial edict. At most, it will just delay the time. The emperor wants to kill you, but it will be useless.
