In the imperial study room.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, suppressing his anger and asked: "What is going on?"

"I missed it." Chu Tianyin knelt on the ground with a pale expression, and said in a dull tone, "I really lost my mind."

"Missed?" The emperor was furious, "Your princess is the legitimate daughter of the King of Zhenbei! Can you solve this matter by just saying "miss"? Tell me, how should I explain to the King of Zhenbei?"

Chu Tianyin lowered his head and said nothing.

His mind was in turmoil now, and he had no idea how things could become like this.

Obviously he and the princess were fine last night, and they discussed a plan to deal with Chu Qinghuang. However, when he woke up in the morning, he found that the princess was sleeping with the commander of the guards.

At that moment, anger overwhelmed his mind. He felt like he was covered by a green cloud. He had no intention of thinking about whether this matter was reasonable or if there was something wrong with it. He raised his sword and killed the two people together.

Blood splashed on his face, and the warm and sticky feeling made him feel sick. This incident alarmed the servants in the palace. Out of control, he sat there in a daze for a while before he realized what he had done.

He hurriedly ordered people to go to the imperial doctor, but Mrs. Qi was stabbed in the chest with a sword that penetrated her heart. She lost all her breath. Everything was irreversible.

Chu Tianyin felt as if a stone had been pressed on his heart, and his mind was groggy. He felt like he had a nightmare, and he couldn't believe that this would happen to him.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here." Chen Hai reported, "Your Majesty, do you want His Majesty to come in now?"

His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes, suppressed his anger and nodded.

Chen Hai then personally welcomed Chu Qinghuang in.

Stepping into the threshold of the imperial study room, Chu Qinghuang didn't even look at Chu Tianyin who was kneeling beside him. He walked directly to the dragon case and put the account books and lists in his hands on the case. "In addition to gold and silver, calligraphy, painting, and jade articles , silks, antiques, etc. have all been counted, and all the evidence of the crimes of the Minister of Revenue are also here. The list of officials involved with the Ministry of Revenue has been sorted out, and the emperor can take a look at it later. "

The emperor looked at the evidence in front of him, took it and flipped it over casually, and breathed out softly: "Qinghuang, you did this beautifully, I don't even know how to reward you."

"There is no need to reward me. This is a promise I have made long ago." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "The reward has been given before."

The emperor nodded.

Yes, he had already given the reward in advance. He made an exception and gave her the title and privileges of the eldest princess. The secret pavilion was temporarily under her control. She was just doing what she promised.

But the emperor was still happy.

Although Chu Tianyin caused such a big incident, which dampened his happiness, in general, the destruction of the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue was a good start, which represented Qinghuang's courage and growing confidence in the future. Good atmosphere.

"Thank you for your hard work last night." The emperor rubbed his brows. "You go back and rest first. I will arrange the next thing."

Chu Qinghuang nodded.

"By the way." The emperor raised his eyes and looked at her, "The position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is vacant. Do you have a suitable person to recommend?"

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment and frowned slightly: "Is this an extra reward?"

"It doesn't count." The emperor smiled, "If you have a suitable candidate, I can take it as a reference."

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "My son has been very fond of Wen Zhan recently."

Wen Zhan?

The emperor heard this name and did not remember which official's name it was.

"His father is Wen Xingyun, the Minister of Household Affairs." Chu Qinghuang said, "If my father has other suitable candidates, he can be promoted first. If not, just mention Wen Xingyun. Wen Zhan is good, and his father should not be much different. go."

The emperor was silent for a while.

Who to bring up now was secondary. What he was silent about was Chu Qinghuang's attitude and tone.

Is Wen Zhan good?

He thought about it carefully and found that Wen Zhan seemed to be Wen Xingyun's second son, and he was also a concubine. He was once forcibly admitted into the palace by Chu Qinghuang because of his good looks, so his current identity should be one of Qinghuang's servants?

In addition to him, there should be several other servants in the Princess Mansion.

The emperor remembered Qinghuang's ridiculous behavior before. After Feng Jinzhi was brought into the princess's palace, he began to "correct his evil ways and return to righteousness". He no longer accepted the emperor as his servant, and the four young masters no longer had any sense of presence in the princess's palace.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Jinzhi fell out of favor, Wen Zhan would show up.

With his brows furrowed, the emperor couldn't help but wonder if Qinghuang had fallen in love with someone else. When he liked Feng Jin in the past, he always attached great importance to the Feng family and the third prince, even her mother and concubine, but now Feng Jin's After losing favor, she started to like Wen Zhan and was going to start promoting the Wen family again?

Is this really good?

"Ahem." The emperor coughed lightly, "Qinghuang."

Chu Qinghuang looked at him silently.

"...It's nothing." The emperor suppressed what he wanted to say, "In that case, let Wen Xingyun take over the position of Minister. He has enough qualifications."

Although Wen Xingyun's ability is not very good, for Qinghuang's sake, it is not impossible to mention him.

The foundation of the Wen family is still shallow. There is no need to worry about him following in the footsteps of Hong Shangshu within two years. If he develops his appetite in the future... well, let's see how long Qinghuang can like this Wen family concubine. When her feelings for him fade away, It will be dealt with when the time comes.

Chu Tianyin knelt aside, listening to the conversation between the emperor and Chu Qinghuang, and his heart was almost extremely angry.

Chu, Qing, Huang!

If it hadn't been for her, the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue would not have collapsed. Why support Wen Xingyun for Wen Zhan? What a joke! She was simply planning for Chu Tianzheng.

Who doesn’t know that the Wen family is part of Concubine Duan’s party?

"There is one more thing." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Last night, I accompanied Wen Zhan to the Wen family to celebrate his father's birthday, and met an assassin at the Wen family."

Chu Tianyin's heart tightened.

"Assassin?" The emperor was startled and looked Chu Qinghuang up and down, "Are you injured? Who sent the assassin? Have you found out?"

"My son can probably guess who it is, father, don't worry." Chu Qinghuang said, turning to look at Chu Tianyin, "It's not that easy to kill my son."

Chu Tianyin clenched his hands unconsciously. Was this sentence meant for him?
