Rows of majestic words came into view. Chen Zishu read each word, and sweat began to break out on his forehead. His heart sank little by little, his fingertips trembled slightly, and the imperial edict in his hand seemed to be as heavy as a thousand stones, and he almost had to work hard to hold it steady. Xiao Junzhan's tone became softer and softer, and he said, "Ai Qing, do you understand what this is?" With a 'plop', Chen Zishu knelt on the ground, held the imperial edict and said: "I know my guilt!" "Get up," Xiao Junzhan said softly with a gentle expression: "Not many people know about Gu's private affairs. Those who don't know are not guilty. If you love me, you don't have to do this." Chen Zishu's mind was like a galloping horse, he almost lost his rational thinking and stood up stiffly. Suddenly, he remembered that a few days ago, His Highness took a woman to the Dali Temple Prison to visit... the Jiang family. Why didn't he think of it earlier... Xiao Junzhan looked at his dazed expression quietly, his eyes slightly darkened, and suddenly said: "I have a question, I hope Aiqing can answer it for me." Chen Zishu cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Your Highness."
"The lonely princess grew up in Xuzhou and could only return to Beijing in March or April." Xiao Junzhan looked slightly calm and said calmly: "When did Aiqing meet her?" The exact same words were asked to Wei Hanzhang in the afternoon. If she were in this hall now, she would probably be angry. She earnestly coaxed and coaxed, hugged and hugged him, and explained to him for so long... He didn't completely believe it. After Chen Zishu slowly told everything together, he said respectfully: "Miss Wei and Wei Chen have only met these few times and never talked in depth. There is nothing wrong between us. Wei Chen was annoyed by the elders in the family urging him to get married, and he got married." When I found out that she had canceled the marriage, I thought of asking my aunt to come to discuss the marriage for me." He held the imperial edict in both hands, bowed his hands and said, "I don't mean to offend Miss Wei, please forgive me." There was no sound in the hall for a moment. Xiao Junzhan closed his eyes slightly, carefully distinguishing whether there were any discrepancies in the explanations between this minister and his sweetheart. He couldn't stand the slightest bit of deception on this matter. Xiao Junzhan was silent, and Chen Zishu naturally did not dare to make a sound. He stood quietly in the hall waiting for his resignation. There was plenty of cool air from the ice urn in the hall, but a light sweat broke out on his forehead. Just as Ning Hai served tea, Xiao Junzhan picked up the tea cup, opened the lid and moved it. He didn't know what he was thinking, and then put it on the imperial desk. He lowered his eyes and looked down with an indifferent expression. This was his beloved minister that he had used for many years. Chen Zishu's talents are not low, his moral character is good, and his love for talents made Xiao Junzhan ignore his family background and promote him unconventionally. Over the years, the emperor and his ministers have enjoyed each other. According to Xiao Junzhan's plan, among the younger generation of civil servants, among the people he focused on training, Chen Zishu had a place. It is not impossible for him to come out of the pavilion to pay homage to the Prime Minister. The midsummer sunset outside the window is red, making the palace even more tranquil. Xiao Junzhan picked up the tea cup on the case, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Ran Ran is fresh and lovely. I didn't know her identity before, so it is human nature to be moved by admiration. I will not blame you." Chen Zishu bowed and thanked him, saying he did not dare. "I will not pursue the past," Xiao Junzhan's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Now that you know who she is, no matter what thoughts you have had, they are all gone... I can't tolerate others. Thinking about her." Xiao Junzhan's tone was calm and his expression did not change, but Chen Zishu felt a chill run down his spine. He actually didn't feel that he was wronged in his heart. After all, as a minister, he fell in love with the same girl as the king, so he was treasonous.
Even if he didn't know about it before, even if everything was just a coincidence, the fact is that he had the intention to marry His Highness the Crown Princess, and even took action. As both men, Chen Zishu asked himself that he could not allow his sweetheart to be missed by other men, let alone the supreme being above ten thousand people. He sighed in his heart, feeling moved by Hong Luan for the first time in more than 20 years, but he was also afraid that being remembered by His Highness would affect his future, and might also hurt His Highness's feelings for... her. After thinking about it, Chen Zi Shu said slowly: "Wei Chen has taken note of this. I will abide by my duty as a minister and never dare to harbor distracting thoughts." Xiao Junzhan nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and suddenly said calmly: "In that case, you can take back the things that the Wei Mansion accepted as you sent them there." ........................ Wei Hanzhang's inference was correct, but his time calculation was wrong. I thought that I would have to wait until at least tomorrow before Chen Guogong's mansion would take back the generous gifts. I never thought that before nightfall, Mrs. Yongchang Hou visited the gate of Wei's mansion again. When she came out, her face was red with anger. It was pitiful that she had lost such dignity for the first time in her whole life. Even though the scandal involving her second son and her niece's pregnancy out of wedlock last time, it didn't make her as embarrassed as this time. What kind of thing is this? When she came in the afternoon, she was full of joy to find out whether her nephew came to visit her. Although the Wei Mansion did not fully agree, they accepted the gift. According to the rules, after a certain period of time, she could formally come to propose marriage. She also said that her nephew's marriage was stable this time, but she never expected that not long after returning home, she would be asked to get the gifts back... On one side is her maternal nephew, on the other side are her children's in-laws... She kindly wanted to arrange a marriage for them, but in the end she became a human being. Especially the Wei family, who had offended everyone completely this time, I'm afraid they thought she was deliberately playing tricks on them. Mrs. Liu was indeed annoyed. She didn't understand why this little granddaughter's marriage was so twists and turns. The Gu family broke off the engagement as soon as they broke off the engagement. After all, the princess' daughter fell in love with her and there was nothing she could do. The Qian family came to discuss marriage, but they bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday. Qian Silang was not allowed to be an official for five years... Being punished like this by His Highness, his future was in doubt, so he was naturally not a good candidate for marriage negotiations. Just as he was hesitating whether to continue discussing the Qian family's marriage, Mrs. Hou from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion actually came to propose marriage to the youngest granddaughter of the eldest son of Duke Chen's Mansion. You can imagine how surprised Mrs. Liu was when Mrs. Yongchang Hou expressed her intention to come. She even thought that her second daughter-in-law, who was firmly opposed to the marriage, was bewitched. How surprised I was then, how angry I am now. Mrs. Liu stroked her heart, and after Mrs. Yongchang Hou left, she threw the tea cup in her hand angrily. Even Wei Hanzhang was angry for a while. She was not raised by her, and there was not much ancestral affection. Now she just felt that the granddaughter who was raised in her maternal ancestral home might not get along with the Wei family. Otherwise, how could she have caused so many disputes after returning to Beijing for a few months. The marriage had more twists and turns, and the hibiscus noodles were lost in vain. "Go, go to Jingya Hall and tell Jiang about this." Mrs. Liu ordered Aunt Wu behind her who was helping her get along. She said with disgust in her eyes, "I want her to choose a good day and take Jiuniang there. If you go to Puxian Temple to worship Buddha for a few days, it will bring bad luck to Jiuniang." Isn't that bad luck? Is it possible that the dignified daughter of the Marquis Mansion really wants to be killed?
