After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanyi was waiting outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion. He was dressed in a calm and cool Xuan robe. He had the aura of nobility from a royal family, but also the aloofness that a martial arts practitioner should have.

The whole person looks very energetic, more like a prince than several princes.

Chu Qinghuang has a good eye for selecting and employing people. Even if he takes him as his subordinate, he will definitely choose people who are worthy of use instead of weak and incompetent people.

Chu Xuanyi waited outside for nearly half an hour. The guards on duty at the Princess Mansion passed by here several times on patrol. He kept standing outside and watched as the hour passed and the eldest princess showed no sign of coming out. Chu Xuanyi Feeling suspicious, he finally asked Lu Jun to inform him.

Chu Qinghuang had just finished breakfast and was sitting in front of the window playing chess with Fucang.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window and falls on a dark rattan next to the desk. It is shiny and looks particularly eye-catching.

After hearing Lu Jun's report, Chu Qinghuang dropped a white stone without hesitation and said calmly: "Let him come over."

"yes."

Lu Jun turned around and walked out, conveying Chu Qinghuang's order to Chu Xuanyi: "Your Highness, please invite Prince Yi to go to Dongshang Pavilion."

Chu Xuanyi nodded and stepped into the door.

He thought that after receiving the emperor's decree in the palace yesterday, the eldest princess would quickly ask him to cooperate in the investigation of the Ling family, so he arrived outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion early in the morning to wait, fearing that the bad-tempered His Highness would... Displeased by his tardiness.

However, Chu Xuanyi didn't expect that Chu Qinghuang didn't seem to be in a hurry. Only when he arrived at Dongshang Pavilion did he see Chu Qinghuang playing chess with someone.

In other words, I am not playing chess with others, but teaching others to play chess.

The black and white pieces are criss-crossed on the chessboard. It can be seen at a glance that the white piece is strategizing and playing with ease, while the black piece is obviously unfamiliar and clumsy, and there are big problems with the chess strategy.

Chu Xuanyi glanced across the chessboard, lowered his head and saluted: "See your Royal Highness, the eldest princess."

"No need to be polite." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Is something wrong?"

Chu Xuanyi was stunned.

Something's wrong?

He almost couldn't answer this question. If it hadn't happened yesterday, he would have thought that he had remembered something wrong, or that His Highness's memory was not very good.

Chu Xuanyi was silent for a moment: "The Emperor's secret decree to His Highness..."

Chu Qinghuang hummed indifferently, dropped a white stone at random, and said calmly: "No need to worry."

Not in a hurry?

Chu Xuanyi was slightly surprised, and then reminded her: "The Emperor only gave His Highness half a month."

Although he was standing outside when the emperor said this, he could pretend that he didn't hear it, but since the emperor asked him to cooperate with His Royal Highness the eldest princess, he should be reminded that this should not be considered eavesdropping.

"Chu Xuanyi." Chu Qinghuang raised her eyes to look at him, her tone was indifferent and calm, "Do you know why the emperor wanted to investigate the Ling family?"

Chu Xuanyi was startled.

"Because I want to investigate." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Usually when I want to investigate someone, it means that I already have enough evidence in my hands, and further investigation is just a routine process, like The Hong family was inspected that day, just like the Ling family was inspected today."

Chu Xuanyi's heart was shaken, and he was silent for a while, then said: "Your Highness told me this, are you not worried that I will leak the secret?"

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "You can tell anyone you want to tell."

"I don't dare." Chu Xuanyi knelt down on one knee, "I just made a mistake in my words, please forgive me, Your Highness."

His fear is definitely sincere.

Because he knew that with her behavior, if he really dared to leak the secret, he was afraid that the next unlucky one would be Prince Rong's Mansion.
