Chapter 121
"Why is Yingying so thin here?" Chu Xun quickly took off his cloak and put it on Feng Yingying's body.
"How can you let your empress stand here all the time?" Chu Xun began to scold Feng Yingying's maids.
His affairs have not been successful yet, and he still needs to do the surface well so that Duke Zhenguo knows that he is very good to Feng Yingying.
This Lan'er was sent by the Duke of Zhenguo to the mansion to stare at him, and Chu Xun had always known about this.
"Your Highness, don't blame them, Yingying is here to wait for your Highness."
Just now, Duke Zhenguo sent someone to tell her that the emperor chose Chu Xun to check the affairs of their Duke Zhenguo Mansion. Although the person sent by his father did not say it clearly, Feng Yingying understood what his father meant.
The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion is really related to this matter. Although Feng Yingying doesn't know how much evidence Chu Xun has in her hands now, she feels that with her current status in Chu Xun's heart, as long as she begs Chu Xun, Chu Xun should not let Duke of Zhenguo Mansion have something to do.
What's more, the Duke Zhenguo Mansion is Chu Xun's current help. If something happens, it will not be beneficial to him.
Chu Xun also knew what Feng Yingying wanted to say to him, but he pretended to give Feng Yingying the cloak. Feng Yingying was much warmer and he was so cold.
"Yingying, this is not a place to speak. Can we go back to Liuguang Pavilion and talk slowly?"
Feng Yingying saw that Chu Xun was wearing very thin clothes, and she still felt sorry for Chu Xun, so she agreed.
Chu Xun helped Feng Yingying walk towards Liuguang Pavilion. Their backs were just seen by Luo Yinsong, who heard Chu Xun return to his house.
Caiyue became even more angry when she saw this scene. Luo Yinsong hadn't seen Chu Xun for so long. When he heard that he was back, he rushed to the door to greet him, but it was still too late.
"Empress, let's go back, it's too cold now."
Luo Yinsong looked at the departure back in the distance and stood there unable to move.
Light snow suddenly began to float in the sky. The climate in Nanchu is quite warm. It will only be colder in the morning and evening in the next few months around the end of the year, and snow is even rarer.
"Empress, it's snowing, let's go back."
Luo Yinsong looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and she stretched out her hand to let the snowflakes fall on her hand, but the snowflakes disappeared immediately as soon as they touched her hand.
Does even God think that she and Chu Xun are inappropriate?
The relationship between her and Chu Xun seems to be like this snowflake, unable to touch it, and once it comes into contact, it disappears instantly.
"Go back."
Caiyue helped Luo Yinsong and walked slowly back to Lanyue Pavilion. Luo Yinsong did not dare to walk too fast, the ground was a little slippery, and he walked too fast and was afraid of falling.
When Chu Xun took Feng Yingying to Liuguang Pavilion quickly, it started to snow, so they accelerated their pace.
Chu Xun was covered with snowflakes, but as soon as he walked into Liuguang Pavilion, the room was really warm, and the snowflakes quickly melted, but Chu Xun's clothes were wet.
Lan'er helped Feng Yingying take off her cloak, "Fortunately, your highness took the Empress away early. I look at this day and feel that the snow will get heavier and heavier."
"You talk too much, haven't you seen your highness's clothes get wet? Hurry up and help your highness with loose clothes."
Lan'er saw Feng Yingying's eyes and hurried to help Chu Xun's robe.
Lan'er took away all the cloak and Chu Xun's coat. Chu Xun wanted to leave this Liuguang Pavilion tonight and had no choice but to leave.
Ruoyun heard that Chu Xun had returned to the mansion, but it had been so long. Why had Chu Xun not returned to the study room? It doesn’t seem like it will take so long to walk from the mansion to the study room.
Ruoyun opened the study door and found that it was quite snowing outside. Chu Xun did not go back to the study. Did she go to the princess’s place?
Chu Xun's first reaction to Lanyue Pavilion was Ruo Yun, so she went to Lanyue Pavilion to see if she could find Chu Xun. If Chu Xun was really in Luo Yinsong's place, then there would be no need to tell Chu Xun what happened this morning. It might be that Luo Yinsong was resting.
Ruoyun walked towards Lanyue Pavilion. As soon as she arrived at Lanyue Pavilion, she saw Luo Yinsong and Caiyue walking back. She hurried over.
"Princess, why are you outside, Your Highness?"
"Where is your highness? Why do you ask us the princess?" Caiyue was still angry. Unexpectedly, Ruoyun ran over by herself. Naturally, she would not be polite to her, "Empress, let's go in quickly."
Luo Yinsong knew that Chu Xun’s affairs had nothing to do with Ruoyun, and it was not easy for her, so he told her where Chu Xun was.
"You go to Liuguang Pavilion to find Your Highness, don't come to my Lanyue Pavilion."
After Luo Yinsong finished speaking, he went into the room with Caiyue and ignored Ruoyun.
Even if Ruoyun knew that Chu Xun was in Liuguang Pavilion, she would not dare to look for Chu Xun. Feng Yingying was different from Luo Yinsong. Although Feng Yingying did not dare to touch her easily, she now thought that if she was favored by Chu Xun, she might really be arrogant because of her favor.
After Feng Yingying waited for Lan'er to go out, she knelt on the ground. Chu Xun watched Feng Yingying act here, and he had to cooperate.
"What's wrong with Yingying? Just say anything to me directly. The ground is cold, get up quickly."
"If Your Highness does not agree to Yingying, Yingying will never get up." Feng Yingying knelt just now and tried a little harder. Her knees are hurting so much now, but she can't get up yet. This matter is related to her future. Even if she hurts now, she has to endure it.
Chu Xun didn't really want to help Feng Yingying up, so since Feng Yingying couldn't kneel down, he wouldn't have to let her stand up.
"Just say anything Yingying has, I will naturally consider it for Yingying's sake."
Chu Xun's words gave Feng Yingying enough face and made Feng Yingying very happy. It seemed that this matter was not very difficult, but fortunately he was favored.
"Yingying heard from her father that Your Majesty asked His Highness to investigate the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
"Indeed, what does Yingying want to say?"
Chu Xun cooperated with Feng Yingying to play here. The Duke of Zhenguo was so fast that the news spread to his King of Chu's mansion in such a short time.
"Your Highness has no idea. Yingying's concubine Wang's mother's family is greedy. She thought that she would find a trust when she married her family to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. She did everything outside and even used the name of Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Her father was worried about this for a long time, but she didn't expect that they would push this matter to her father this time. Yingying here assured her father that the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion had nothing to do with this matter. She also asked her prince to explain the situation to her father and give her a cleansing innocence."
Chu Xun was already disgusted as Feng Yingying was crying and telling this matter. She, Feng Yingying, could really act, and even the black ones could be said to be white. She said such conscienceless words without even blinking.
Chu Xun took out a handkerchief to wipe Feng Yingying's tears, and then helped her up. "Don't worry, if this matter has nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion, I will definitely return the innocence of the Duke's Mansion. I understand Duke. He is not the one who can do such a thing. My father handed this matter over to me. I believe that the Duke's Mansion would not do such a thing. If it is handed over to the prince or the prince Ning, the Duke's Mansion would be really beyond salvation."
Feng Yingying knelt and talked for a long time, and her knees became more and more painful. So this time Chu Xun helped her up, and she stood up without the intention of continuing to kneel.
What she said in Chu Xun's words should mean that there would be nothing wrong with the Duke of Zhenguo this time. The emperor and he believed that this incident had nothing to do with the Duke of Zhenguo.
Since that's the case, Feng Yingying was relieved, "Thank you, Your Highness Yingying."
Feng Yingying leaned in Chu Xun's arms, and couldn't see the expression on Chu Xun's face. Chu Xun's eyes were no longer tender, and he was full of disgust.
Feng Yingying did not realize this and was still immersed in her own happiness.
Feng Yingying suddenly raised her head, and Chu Xun changed her expression in an instant.
"Your Highness, the Wang family is really doing everything they want. We must punish them well. It is best to be exiled to avoid them committing evil in this capital again."
Feng Yingying had no good feelings for the Wang family, and this time the matter was implicated by the Wang family. Feng Yingying naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to deal with the Wang family.
Feng Yingying's meaning, Chu Xun understood that she was the best choice for the Wang family, and she was just in front of him, so she left some mercy and did not say beheading.
No matter what Feng Yingying said now, Chu Xun responded first. Anyway, in a few days, Feng Yingying would not appear in his Chu Prince's Mansion again.
Chu Xun stayed in Liuguang Pavilion again that night, and Ruoyun waited until the next day without a chance to meet Chu Xun.
After leaving Liuguang Pavilion, Chu Xun went directly to the Ministry of Justice. He couldn't bear it for a moment now. He quickly searched the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to find evidence as soon as possible. If he didn't get the evidence for a day, he would have to have a day of play with Feng Yingying. He has been enduring it for several days now.
Chu Xun arrived at the Ministry of Justice, and Chu Yu and Zhao Shangshu had been waiting for Chu Xun here for a long time. They received the news from Chu Xun in the morning, saying that they would go to search for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today. At that time, they thought they had read it wrong, but now it seems that it is true.
But Chu Yu and Zhao Shangshu would definitely not believe that Chu Xun would attack the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. They were still wondering what trick Chu Xun was playing.
"The old minister meets His Highness the King of Chu."
"Brother."
Chu Xun looked at Chu Yu and Zhao Shangshu with a vigilant look, and knew that they didn't believe he would attack the Duke Zhenguo Mansion.
But they didn't believe that he didn't care. What he cared about now was the result. As long as their goals were consistent, they would never let the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion go to the point of fighting against him.
"Today we will go to search the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. I will go in first. A quarter of an hour later, my ninth brother led people to search."
Chu Yu didn't understand what Chu Xun's intention was to make such an arrangement, but searching the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was indeed what he wanted to do, so he didn't ask anything else and just listened to Chu Xun's arrangements.
Chu Xun and Chu Yu brought men and search warrants to a small road near the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Chu Xun entered the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion first.
When Duke Zhen heard that Chu Xun was coming, he hurried to the main hall to meet Chu Xun.
"The old minister has met His Highness the King of Chu."
Just as Duke Zhenguo was about to kneel down, Chu Xun stopped his actions. What he had to do now was to give Duke Zhenguo enough face and make him trust him.
"Duke quickly and exempt from gifts. Since I have married Yingying, according to my seniority, I will call you Dad."
"You must not, Your Highness, the old minister can't afford it."
Although Duke Zhenguo was happy to hear Chu Xun's words, he was also afraid. Chu Xun was the prince. If Chu Xun called him his father, wouldn't he be the emperor? If this was spread, he would be lifeless.
"Yingying had already told me yesterday, but Yingying had married into the Chu Prince's Mansion for so many years, and she might not know much about the Duke's Mansion, so the King of Japan came here to ask the Duke about what the Wang family had done."
When Duke Zhen heard Chu Xun's words, Feng Yingying should have pushed all the things to the Wang family yesterday. The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is innocent, so he can just follow Feng Yingying's words. Anyway, the Wang family is now a useless person to him.
"Yes, Your Highness, the Wang family has been doing evil outside the name of Duke Zhenguo Mansion. The old minister has helped them many times because they are Wang's mother's family. However, they did not expect that they were getting too far. This time the matter has reached the Ministry of Justice, and the old minister does not want to betray the law anymore. However, they did not expect that they actually wanted to take the Duke Zhenguo Mansion to die with them..."
Duke Zhenguo looked regretful and said roughly the same as Feng Yingying. Chu Xun really felt that they had agreed.
Before Chu Xun could speak, Chu Yu led his men in and put the paper forward. The Duke of Zhenguo could only look at Chu Xun with his help.
"Ninth brother, what are you doing? Without my order from you, you dare to lead people to search the Duke's Mansion?"
When Chu Yu heard what Chu Xun said, it seemed that he was Chu Yu who wanted to search for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but this order was given by him Chu Xun.
Later, when he saw Chu Xun's hinting eyes, he understood what Chu Xun meant. He wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of Duke Zhenguo.
Anyway, the matter is over, and Nanchu will no longer have the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Since he wants to pretend to be a good person, he will do it for him.
"The starling is indeed the presiding judge, but the ninth brother should be able to do the matter of searching the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so the Duke of Zhenguo offended him."
"Your Highness, this..."
Chu Xun brought Duke Zhen aside and discussed this matter with him, "Duke, otherwise let him search. I can't stop him now. If the ninth brother told his father about the search, the father might have thought that there was a secret in the Duke Zhen’s Mansion, so he couldn't search..."
Chu Xun looked at Duke Zhen’s expression, his expression was a little helpless, but he was moved by him.
"Don't worry, Duke, I promise that he will definitely not be able to find anything."
"This..." Duke Zhenguo saw that Chu Xun was so sure. He had not had time to check those things, but no one knew about that place, and these people should not be able to find out.
"Okay, the old minister doesn't let you make things difficult for your highness, search."
He had already installed people in this sentence from Duke Zhenguo who Chu Xun wanted, and those things would definitely be searched.
"Search."
After Chu Xun's order, the people began to search everywhere. The Duke Zhenguo was a little panicked and dared not show it.
