Chu Jihan went to the outer room and opened the door, and when he saw the person outside the door, he had such an expression.
The person who came was none other than the Emperor Chu Luojue. He knew that no one in the entire Anjun Palace would dare to disobey his wishes. Only Chu Luojue, his master, would come in directly.
Chu Jihan used his eyes to signal Chu Luojue to go talk somewhere else. He walked a few steps outside and stopped next to the swing in the yard. Chu Jihan sat on the swing unceremoniously and started swinging. He didn't care about Su Ning at all. The respectful attitude towards the emperor when he was in front of his heart.
Chu Jihan didn't show any awe at all. Instead, he said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you here?"
Chu Jihan and Chu Luojue were about the same age, and they were both members of the royal family. They had not had much contact with each other since they were young, so they did not feel that the emperor was unattainable like ordinary people.
It's just that when he was the leader of the secret guard, he naturally had to maintain the proper etiquette towards the emperor.
But now it is his private time, which is not under the jurisdiction of the emperor. If he wants him to continue to treat him respectfully, then there is another price. Obviously the emperor is not willing to pay such a deduction, so he will not pretend. .
Chu Luojue was not surprised by Chu Jihan's changing behavior and was used to it. Anyway, he didn't expect Chu Jihan to behave like an emotionless person like other secret guards.
Chu Luojue said casually, "What? You don't welcome me here?"
Chu Jihan rolled his eyes at him and let him experience it for himself. On one side is the master who is as skinny as Zhou, and on the other is the soft and cute wife. Which one would you choose if it were you? How dare you ask such an obvious question
Chu Luojue understood what Chu Jihan meant, and held her heart as she felt like she had been hit by an arrow. His queen's whereabouts were still unknown, but Chu Jihan, a murderer with a thousand swords, actually showed off his affection in front of him.
What's more irritating is that the person showing affection is his former concubine. Who can I ask to explain this
Seeing the emperor's expression, Chu Jihan didn't dare to provoke him anymore. If he got angry and went crazy again because of the queen's affairs, it would be himself and the people around the emperor who would suffer.
"What do you want to say here?" Chu Jihan wittily changed the subject.
Chu Luojue deeply despised Chu Jihan's blunt way of changing the subject, but did not expose him. It just so happened that Chu Luojue himself did not want to be abused on this topic.
"There is news from Xiyan that we have found out a few people who secretly have dealings with Prince Jing's Mansion. Here is the list. You can go find Shen Zhao and have a look with him." Chu Luojue said and handed Chu Jihan a handout. A small piece of paper came over.
The Xiyan that Chu Luojue mentioned was not a name, but that before he ascended the throne as a prince, he had a secret guard of his own. The name of this secret guard was Xiyan, and its leader was Shen Zhao.
The expression on Chu Jihan's face became more serious. He took the note and looked at the names on it. Then he glanced at Chu Luojue suspiciously, pointed to a name on the note and asked, "Su Jingzhang?"
Su Jingzhang is the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Xuanning. It is said that he went out to travel and had very little contact with his family. Even the ancestor of the Marquis passed away and did not come back in time. Speaking of which, he was still Su Ningxin's cousin.
However, Shen Zhao seemed to be Su Ningxin's biological brother. Chu Jihan suddenly realized that Su Ningxin's identity as Concubine Chen was a bit confusing. He had only paid attention to her identity as a secret guard before, but now he remembered that Concubine Chen was. The concubine of Uncle Taiping's mansion is really Shen Zhao's concubine.
This is a bit embarrassing. How should I get along with Shen Zhao in the future? It won't work if I'm too flattering, and it won't work if I'm too unfamiliar. It's really hard to control.
Chu Luojue didn't know that Chu Jihan's thoughts were already 800 miles away, so he answered the question he just asked, "Judging from the mediocre performance of the Xuanning Houfu in the past, they should not dare to do such a thing to usurp the throne." Come and compete for the merit of following the dragon, but the people in the Hou Mansion are mixed, so it is inevitable that no one will have such an idea, just go and check."
Chu Jihan nodded in agreement. I wonder if it was his touch, but why did Chu Luojue look at him with a bit of, um, sadness
Chu Jihan had been out for a long time. Su Ningxin was bored waiting in the room, so she opened the door and walked out after changing her clothes.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Su Ningxin couldn't help but have a math problem pop up in her mind.
[It is known that the distance from the house door to the swing is 40 meters, the height of the swing is two meters, and the walking speed of people is 60 meters per minute. Find: Su Ningxin's current psychological shadow area.]
Su Ningxin stopped at the door, tilted her head and looked at the two people sitting side by side on the swing. A series of greetings popped up above her head, what are you two doing
If it hadn't been verified that Chu Jihan's sexual orientation was normal last night, Su Ningxin would have already imagined a million-word story about the feud between the cold emperor and the arrogant prince.
When the two people on the swing heard Su Ningxin's voice, they immediately jumped up from the swing. The emperor looked at the wall not far away, shaking his folding fan as if nothing happened.
Chu Jihan, on the other hand, glared at the emperor fiercely, as if he wanted to eat him alive. It was all Chu Luojue's fault. Unless he said it was disrespectful for him to sit down and let the emperor stand, he came up and tried to grab the swing.
This was his wife's swing, so naturally Chu Jihan wouldn't let it out, so the two of them started fighting over each other. During the fight, they sat on the swing together, and Su Ningxin happened to bump into her. His reputation was completely ruined. .
After glaring at Chu Luojue to relieve the hatred in his heart, Chu Jihan immediately looked at Su Ningxin with a pitiful look begging for a hug, "Ning'er, I have something important to tell you."
Hearing Chu Jihan's voice, Chu Luojue turned around and scorned him fiercely. This man definitely wanted to tell Su Ningxin the news about Su Jingzhang. Telling everything to the lady and asking her to make up her mind is really useless, bah.
Although he felt contempt in his heart, Chu Luojue did not stop his behavior. It was not that the news was not important, but that he understood Su Ningxin too well.
Even Su Ningxin's biological father, Uncle Chengping, could give him a beating with a sack. Su Jingzhang, the 'eldest brother' who had no blood relationship or friendship with him, it was her fault if Su Ningxin didn't directly report Su Jingzhang in exchange for the bounty. Show mercy.
So there was no need to worry that Su Ningxin would protect him, it would be better to just let him die suddenly.
"What do you want to tell me?" Su Ningxin asked, crossing her arms.
Chu Jihan immediately sent the note over, "Su Jingzhang of the Marquis of Xuanning's Mansion seems to be connected with Prince Jing's Mansion. Now Su Jingzhang is also keeping filial piety in the Marquis' Mansion. We can ask some questions when you come back." ."
Su Ningxin frowned and thought about the impact of this incident on herself, and then realized that it had no impact on her at all. After that, her frown relaxed, and she could tease Chu Jihan and said, "Such important news, you won't betray your appearance." Did you get it?"
Chu Jihan and Chu Luojue spat out a mouthful of old blood at the same time. Are they that kind of people? Both of them felt extremely wronged. Chu Jihan felt wronged about how his dignified man could betray his lust, while Chu Luojue felt wronged about himself. Is his image so bad that he actually fell in love with Chu Jihan
