Chu Qinghuang and Fucang arrived at the study. The guard guarding the door opened the door for her and bowed.

As soon as she stepped into the study, Chu Qinghuang saw the young man kneeling on the ground. She paused slightly and walked in silently.

"Your Majesty Chu Xuanyi, please see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Her Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Such a big ceremony?" Chu Qinghuang said in a calm tone, "Did you foresee that a disaster is about to happen to Prince Rong's palace?"

Chu Xuanyi looked slightly tense, lowered his head and said: "I took the liberty of disturbing you late at night to apologize for my younger brother, and to ask for a favor from the eldest princess."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "Grace?"

"Xuan Yu is seriously injured and cannot get up at this time. When his injury improves, I will definitely bring him to His Royal Highness the Princess for punishment." Chu Xuanyi's voice was steady, and his straight back showed a demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant, " I hope Her Majesty the Princess will have a few more days of grace."

"Didn't the Emperor punish him already?" Chu Qinghuang walked to the chair and sat down, speaking indifferently, "One crime shall not be punished twice. I have no interest in punishing him again."

Just because she is not interested in punishment does not mean that the matter will be revealed. If she is willing to just have an attack, it will not make people feel uneasy.

I'm just afraid that there will be a sudden revenge at some point.

Chu Xuanyi was silent for a moment: "The eldest brother is like his father. The reason why Xuan Yu made a big mistake is that besides being spoiled by his mother, I am also an incompetent brother. I am willing to accept heavy responsibility from His Highness."

"I am not your father, so what qualifications do you have to hold you accountable?" Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "I am sincere in my apology, but are you so worried about my revenge on Prince Rong's Mansion?"

Chu Xuanyi felt a little chilled in his heart.

He had not had much contact with the princess before, but he also knew how the outside world evaluated her. But now, in just a few words, he felt that it was completely inconsistent with the rumors.

"Chu Xuanyi." Chu Qinghuang raised her lips, "Maybe I should call you cousin?"

"I don't dare."

"Whether you dare or not, you are older than me, and this relationship cannot be changed." Chu Qinghuang said, "But since you are so sincere, I don't mind telling you that I originally planned to Take people to inspect Prince Rong's Mansion and Prince Kang's Mansion, and punish them for daring to murder me."

Chu Xuanyi was shocked and clenched his hands unconsciously: "There has never been any corruption in Prince Rong's Mansion——"

"It's not up to you to decide." Chu Qinghuang calmly interrupted him, "Although King Rong has been very cautious in doing things in recent years, you should know that the nobles of the clan spend a lot of money. With King Rong alone, The salary and rewards are not enough to support the palace's expenses. If you insist, I can let you die in peace. "

Chu Xuanyi raised his eyes: "Then your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, should also know that as long as the illegal income does not exceed a certain amount, the emperor will turn a blind eye. My father has not been greedy for money that he does not deserve. The standards of Her Royal Highness, I am afraid that no one in the civil and military dynasties will be left.”

"In that case, why are you kneeling here?" Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "How about waiting to prove your innocence after I raid Prince Rong's palace? You can also gain a good reputation for being honest."

Chu Xuanyi pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."

"Okay." Chu Qinghuang's voice became much more indifferent, "You can go back. I will not touch Prince Rong's palace. Prince Rong has been loyal over the years and has never had any dissatisfaction. I know this in my heart."

Chu Xuanyi knelt and did not move: "It is a capital crime to murder the eldest princess."

"You also know that it is a capital crime?" Chu Qinghuang sneered, "If I are serious about this, the entire Prince Rong's Palace will have to be buried with this incompetent son."

Chu Xuanyi's expression suddenly changed: "Please, Your Highness——"

"Do I have to tell you personally that I have forgiven Chu Xuanyu and those noble disciples?"

"I don't dare."

"Chu Xuanyi." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "I am a person whose mind is smaller than the tip of a needle. No one can be safe after scheming against me."

So is she planning to deal with Prince Rong's Mansion, or is she willing to let Prince Rong's Mansion go?

Chu Xuanyi was silent, unable to figure out what she meant for a while.

The study was quiet for a long time.

Chu Xuanyi had never felt that time was so torturous. After hesitating again and again, he chose the safest and most critical question: "How can Your Highness spare Xuan Yu?"

"It's very simple." Chu Qinghuang stopped wasting time with him and calmly put forward the conditions, "From now on, you will be loyal to me. From now on, whatever you say and do will only follow my orders. I will let Prince Rong's Mansion go." ”

Chu Xuanyi was shocked and looked up at her in disbelief.

The girl in front of her was only fifteen years old, with fair skin and extremely beautiful appearance.

Although her exceptional title and actions have made people almost forget her age, this girl is indeed only fifteen years old and is in the best years of a woman's life.

However, just such a young girl made the entire court officials fearful and fearful. The majesty and coercion shown in her eyebrows at this time was simply impossible for an ordinary girl of this age to have.

Chu Xuanyi's heart was filled with emotions, and he said after a while: "Prince Rong's Mansion is only loyal to the Emperor."

"I know," Chu Qinghuang said, "Prince Rong's Mansion is loyal to the Emperor, so I didn't let Prince Rong express his position. What I want is your loyalty."
