However, Chu Jihan's words were mercilessly exposed by Gu Mingxi, "I think you were targeted by the emperor, so you just found an excuse to run out."
The air was a little quiet for a while, because Chu Jihan and Chu Luojue were wearing disguises, so they couldn't see their expressions. We could only guess that their expressions were awkward.
Naturally, Gu Mingxi didn't care about their embarrassment and asked Chu Luoye directly, "Why didn't Su Zhan come over? Where did you take him?"
"Ahem," Chu Luoye coughed twice and pointed at Mu Zhiyun, who was wearing the same mask as him, "Zhiyun, aren't you supposed to be in the church? Why are you here?"
"Pa", Su Ningxin seemed to hear the sound of a slap in the face coming from the air. The slap in the face really came so fast, like a tornado.
Just now, Su Ningxin promised Mu Zhiyun that she would never be recognized, but she turned around and was slapped in the face.
"Can you recognize this?" Su Ningxin asked in disbelief.
Mu Zhiyun took off his mask and said helplessly, "He is my cousin. People who don't know him will definitely not think of me as a saint, but it is not surprising for people who know him to guess based on his body shape."
Su Ningxin thought about the complex network of people in the capital, and then remembered that Chu Luoye's mother was a princess, and his father seemed to have been born in a British prince's family. However, Chu Luoye took the national surname, so it was indeed true. Mu Zhiyun's cousin.
"Ahem," Gu Mingxi coughed to attract everyone's attention, then hugged his shoulders and said, "Don't change the subject, let's talk about Su Zhan first."
Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Jihan and Chu Luoye again, and then Chu Luojue looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, pretending to be sad, and secretly kicked Chu Jihan.
Chu Jihan had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Su Zhan returned to the capital with the imperial edict to apologize."
"Excuse me? What's the crime?" Shen Zhao asked doubtfully. Su Zhan was a well-known noble son in the capital. He was outstanding in both literary and military talents, and he had not set foot in the court. What crime could he be guilty of
"Imperial edict? What imperial edict?" Gu Mingxi was not as surprised as Shen Zhao about Su Zhan's plea. It was almost certain that Su Zhan and Chu Luoye would be cheated by Chu Luoye when they were together. She was more confused about Chu Luoye. What imperial edict did Ye use to trick Su Zhan
At that time, before Chu Jihan returned to Daming Mansion with the imperial edict, Gu Mingxi had already set off to return to the capital with the messenger, so he did not meet Chu Jihan.
When the imperial edict was mentioned, Su Ningxin immediately understood what was going on. What she originally thought was that she and Gu Mingxi would run away first, leaving Chu Luoye and Chu Jihan to bear the emperor's wrath.
Unexpectedly, these two boys were such thieves that they actually pushed Su Zhan out.
Now think about it, the only people in the capital who can be worn by the emperor are Su Zhan and Huang Dezheng. Let's light a candle for them silently.
Su Ningxin knew the ins and outs of the imperial edict best, so she went to tell Gu Mingxi about deceiving a blank imperial edict and asking Huang Dezheng to imitate the handwriting, so that she could know what was going on
"You are so brave, you are becoming more and more like me." Gu Mingxi gave Su Ningxin a thumbs up.
Mu Zhiyun and Shen Zhao behind them were dumbfounded. As serious ancients, they felt that their three views had been refreshed by this wave of operations.
In the past, they felt that they were already deviant enough, but compared with Su Ningxin's tightrope walking on the emperor's bottom line, they suddenly felt that they were a more innocent and upright person.
Shen Zhao swallowed, "Sister, you are really not afraid of being chopped down by the emperor when he is angry."
Su Ningxin smiled evilly, "You're not going to kill me when you're angry. It's obviously a matter of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan. No one who has blood relatives can escape, right? Brother."
Shen Zhao's expression immediately became serious, "The prince concubine is joking, but you can't shout like a brother and sister. What will the prince think if you hear it?"
Transparent Chu Jihan: "..."
Mu Zhiyun asked, "Why won't there be any problem with this?"
Su Ning waved her hand carelessly, "It's not a big problem if no one knows about it. After all, the emperor is not one of us. The so-called royal dignity is only for those literati and scholar-bureaucrats. If it doesn't infringe on the emperor's interests, He basically opens one eye to the other."
Mu Zhiyun's eyes lit up instantly, "That's it."
Chu Luoye looked at Mu Zhiyun's expression and said hurriedly, "No, no, no, don't listen to Su Ningxin's nonsense. You can't try this kind of thing. You see, Prince An has been slapped because of this."
"Oh, okay then." Mu Zhiyun said with some regret.
Listening to this conversation, Shen Zhao secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead. Su Ningxin, who was in charge of everything, was not enough. Mu Zhiyun didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp. He really wanted to marry her home in the future. , I guess Uncle Taiping has to live with his head tied to his belt.
Watch out, you must keep an eye on her all the time, Shen Zhao silently warned himself in his heart.
Su Ningxin frowned and looked at Chu Jihan, "What happened? What does your father mean by pulling over?"
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal," Chu Jihan said, "This matter is also my fault. After I returned to Daming Mansion, I put my father under house arrest. When everything was settled, my mother and concubine would let me go. I went to talk to him, but after drinking some wine, I told him about our forgery of the imperial edict."
"Who knew that one moment he was smiling and drinking, and the next moment he drank directly." Chu Jihan spread his hands to express his helplessness.
[Drinking with a smile? It's a good thing that you didn't make your father smile.]Su Ningxin complained secretly, but she still had to ask what should be asked.
"So how is your father doing now?"
"He is still bedridden, but his life is not worried. It is a good thing that he is sick now. The emperor will not be harsh when dealing with him." Chu Jihan's tone was not serious, which showed that the problem should not be Otherwise, he would not have left Daming Mansion and come to Yangzhou.
"How is the situation at Daming Mansion?" Su Ningxin asked next.
"Everything has stabilized, but after what happened, the emperor will definitely no longer trust the military power in the hands of Prince Anjun. Now that Su Zhan is going to plead guilty with the imperial edict, there is a high probability that Daming Palace will hand it over in the end. In his hand."
Chu Jihan made it clear, and everyone understood what he meant. Chu Luoye and the others asked Su Zhan to deliver the imperial edict not just to trick him, but also to let him take over the border of the North.
In fact, Su Zhan's talents are sufficient, but his qualifications are a little lower, but this is not a big problem, because after Chu Luojue purged the court twice, there are basically few senior ministers left.
Although Su Zhan's character is a bit stubborn, he is fortunate to be an upright person. After all, the foundation of Prince An's Mansion is still in Daming Mansion. It is better to hand over Daming Mansion to such a person than to someone who is headstrong or can't deal with the Prince's Mansion.
