Chen Shi

Cui Yan grabbed Cui Jiao to go out, and Chen Zhi followed silently.

The two walked for a while in the dark, and when they reached the door of the sleeping hall, Cui Yan stopped in her tracks: "I still have things to do, you should sleep first."

Chen Zhi said implicitly, "Can you put it another way?"

Cui Yan chuckled lightly: "Wait for me to come back."

Chen Zhi: "..."

Cui Yan took a step, then turned around again.The faint light of the fire in the room reflected on his fair and delicate face, the eyes under his brows were like autumn wells, green and rippling, and they circled people in.

Chen Zhi's throat was slightly dry, and a big mouthful of water before going out seemed to be boiling in his stomach.

Cui Yanyan smiled: "'Jiang Yi made up his own mind, how could I be willing to do so. The night is cool, so go to bed early." She raised her hand, as if to caress Chen Zhi's cheek, and she didn't mind being avoided. He still walked away with a smile on his face.

……

Do you think he can't tell that the "Heartbreaking Pill" is actually a means of combining grace and power?

However, after Cui Yan swallowed the dragon qi, the changes were too big and too weird, which was unbearable. It seemed that the dragon qi that had never been crossed seemed to have very strange side effects, so Chen Zhi decided to settle the score tomorrow.

Cui Yan came back early in the morning.

Chen Zhi was lying on the bed, and when he heard him coming in, he even tucked up the quilt for himself - made a pleat for the quilt.

When he turned around, Chen Zhi couldn't help squinting his eyes, looking at the leaving figure.

As if receiving the gaze, Cui Yan glanced back, and left with a chuckle before waiting for a reaction.

Chen Zhi: "..." It seemed like he had a laughing disease.

Back on the couch, Cui Yan restrained her smile, closed her eyes and lay down, her head still thinking about what she had just said with Jiang Yi.

"The medicine I gave the young lady can only temporarily stimulate the evil spirit, and it will never hinder it afterwards. I swear on my life! But Emperor Chen's dragon spirit appears very strange, I am afraid it is a fraud."

"Dragon Qi is also deceitful?"

"The world is full of wonders. Even a fake emperor, walking in the palace all year round, will always have the opportunity to come into contact with some rare treasures. In my opinion, I still use the 'Painful Heart Pill'. Under severe pain, there must be truth."

"You once said that as long as you become the emperor, even for a day, there will be a gathering of dragon energy. Then I will wait for his dragon energy to gather again."

Chen Zhi's rescue in the face of danger did cause a slight ripple in Cui Yan's heart, but it was nothing more than that.He is suspicious and changeable by nature, so naturally he won't confide in others just because of this little ripple, and all the gentleness now is just to relax the defense of the other party.As Jiang Yi said, he also had doubts about Chen Zhi's sudden dragon aura.In particular, the effect of this dragon energy is different from that written in the book.

However, since Chen Zhi was completely fearless after the sword was stabbed in the palace, he knew that the other party's weakness was not covetousness and fear of death. Jiang Yi's highly praised "Painful Heart Pill" may have limited effects, so he found another way.

The best way to deal with a person is to start with the things he cares about most.

The next day.

It took Chen Zhilai half a day to get up, Cui Yan had already washed up, took breakfast, sat at the table and waited for him, and when he came out, she immediately put on a gentle smile.

Chen Zhi had goose bumps all over his body: "Are you free to do today?"

Cui Yan said: "I have something to do, but I'll wait for you to come together."

Chen Zhi took Baozi's hand and said, "Wait for me?"

Cui Yan smiled and said: "If I treat the country and the people kindly, it is for you, so naturally I want you to witness."

Chen Zhi was overjoyed, with a calm expression on his face: "Then I will write you the edict of the Zen position in a while." There is nothing unreliable, but the sentence "Steady" is quite accurate.He told himself that no matter how creepy Cui Yan's smile was, he had to hold on!hold on!hold on!

"This matter is not urgent." Cui Yan was more steady than him, and smiled and scooped up the bowl of bean curd for him. "It's not too late to discuss after the hidden danger is removed."

After the two of them finished their breakfast, Cui Yan took Chen Zhi to the Yizheng Hall.

Chen Zhi used to come here often to seal the imperial decree written by Yang Zhongju. Although others can do this, they are not as effective as Chen Zhi.Yang Zhongju's intention is very simple: You see, the emperor knows all the bad things I did.In the future, don't say that I cover the sky with one hand, it's just that the emperor turned a blind eye.

Chen Zhi used to grieve his teeth with hatred.It was too tiring to make him run back and forth for such a childish reason.

Cui Yan lifted the curtain, Chen Zhi swaggered in, and everyone in the hall looked surprised.

A few former officials of the Chen Dynasty subconsciously wanted to salute, but when they stood up, they saw Cui Yan who was following him. Their necks tightened suddenly, and they felt that the head on their necks was about to "disappear".

Chen Zhi pretended to be afraid and stepped back half a step: "I didn't scold enough the day before yesterday."

The veterans took the opportunity to sit down awkwardly.

Cui Yan immediately turned her head and said, "If you don't like it, how about I invite them out?"

The veterans became nervous again.

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "No, no. Although they don't like me, they are useful to you."

Cui Yan smiled and said, "It's so kind of you to treat me."

Chen Zhi shook his goosebumps calmly, and said with a dry smile, "I'm fine with you."

The intimacy of the two of them frightened everyone in the hall.

Fortunately, after being seated, Cui Yan returned to normal and asked everyone to report step by step.

Chen Zhi seemed to be in a low mood, but his ears were straightened up. When he heard a grain merchant in the city driving up the price, his eyebrows trembled slightly.

Cui Yan, who had been observing, immediately said: "Didn't they post a notice telling them not to make trouble? Which grain merchants are so bold?"

It was one of his military advisers who reported, and he hurriedly said: "Some are former imperial merchants, and some are shops opened by noble families in the city."

Cui Yan was silent.

The apprehensive old ministers glanced at each other quietly, and one of them stood up and said, "I would like to invite you to lobby in various houses."

Cui Yan looked at Chen Zhi: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Even called "Your Majesty"?

The others were frightened again.

Chen Zhi said: "Lobbying is time-consuming. Why don't you use the name of the government to collect food from various households, and pay on credit first."

To put it nicely, isn't this robbing?

The old minister who invited Ying to lobby said: "I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

Cui Yan supported Chen Zhi: "Since you dare to make trouble, why not be afraid of criticism."

Chen Zhi waved his hand: "In the name of the government, if those aristocrats refuse to accept it, they will come to me. Sigh, why don't I issue an imperial edict." He dug out a stack of imperial edicts familiarly.Yang Zhongju sometimes issued ten imperial edicts a day, and for convenience, he simply put them all in the cabinet.

The old ministers thought that since the surrender, they had devoted themselves to everything, but compared with the emperor today, they realized that they were still very small.

Seeing that Chen Zhi had written the imperial decree neatly, Cui Yan smiled sweeter: "How can I repay you for doing this for me?"

Chen Zhiyi said solemnly: "Be a good emperor and treat the world kindly."

The old ministers were about to shed tears.It's better to come early than to come at a good time. It didn't catch up with the emperor's normal good time!

After hearing some trivial matters, Cui Yan took Chen Zhi away.

Walking halfway, Chen Zhi said to Cui Yan: "I made this decree, and the aristocratic families in the city will definitely not accept it. If you show more favors, they will be used by you."

Cui Yan said calmly: "What's the use of those hypocrisy?"

Chen Zhi said: "When you become the emperor, some falsehoods will become true feelings."

Cui Yan looked down at him: "If I become emperor, what will you do?"

Chen Zhiqiang held back the joy of exploding his mind, and said deeply: "Of course I have retired after my achievements."

"Where are you going?"

"If you believe me, send me to guard the imperial tomb, if you don't believe me, a glass of poisoned wine..."

"How could I be willing to kill you?" Cui Yan raised her hand, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and looked at him tenderly, "The world is peaceful, it's just my promise to you. If you're not here, what's the use of the world?"

Chen Zhi: "..."

Han Qing's dragon spirit is really problematic!

As soon as night fell, Chen Zhi put down the puppet, rolled and crawled up to the sky.

It is still Xianjinchi.

There is still nothing to wipe the ground with his head down.

"Shhhh."

"what?"

Without raising his head, Chen Zhi walked backwards—two bright dark circles under his eyes revealed a deadly resentment, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he looked like he was looking for a scapegoat for everything.

Chen Zhi smiled dryly: "You're busy, don't bother me."

"哗啦啦", a sound of water.

The huge dragon's head poked out of the pool and rested on the side, watching them with half-closed eyes.

Jie Wu said: "If you take another step back, I will close the door and let the dragon go."

Chen Zhi cautiously turned his head to look at Yan Long, and seeing that he didn't respond, he smiled and said, "I just came to see if you are doing well."

"what do you say?"

I didn't really want to ask, but I had to ask: "What's the matter with the eyes?"

None of them were stubborn: "Huang Tianya's uniform attire."

Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm going to leave first if there's nothing else to do."

"Investigation about Cui's mother..."

Chen Zhi hurriedly stopped.

None hooked the rag with one finger and looked up at the sky.

……

Chen Zhi squatted and wiped the floor, and Jian Wu stood beside him and said slowly: "When Cui Yan was seven years old, Cui's mother was taken away by a cat demon, and her father claimed that she died of illness in order to protect himself. Not long after, rumors spread that Cui's mother had eloped with someone. Cui's father married the second wife in to quell the rumors. At that time, Cui Yan was eight years old and Cui Jiao was four years old."

Chen Zhi raised his head and said, "As the prefect, it's not right to marry a concubine?"

Jie Wu said: "If yes, do you still use it here to mop the floor?"

Chen Zhi asked, "What happened later?"

Jie Wu said: "I think so. After the stepmother came in, Cui Yan's life was difficult. It happened that Cui's mother who came back to see the child bumped into her, and Cui's mother begged the cat demon to take Cui Yan away."

Chen Zhi: "..."

They didn't look at him: "What do you want to say?"

Chen Zhi said, "Mother Cui seems to have something wrong."

Jie Wu nodded: "Well, she found out very quickly. At first, the cat demon was nice to Cui's mother, but she hated Cui Yan, a cheap son. Until one time, Cui's mother beat the cat to protect Cui Yan. Since then, the cat demon has intensified and bullied their mother and son, and not long after, Cui's mother died."

Chen Zhi quickly listed a causal relationship in his mind:

Cui's father didn't mess around, so Cui's mother didn't take Cui Yan away.

Cui Yan thrived in the prefect's mansion and became an ambitious emperor.

What a perfect ending!

……

It's all Father Cui's fault!

"Don't you want to know what happened to the Cui Mansion after Keke?" Jie Wudao.

Chen Zhi had a bad feeling in his heart, after all, their "cough cough" part was too "cough cough".

No one said: "When Cui Yan returned to Cui's mansion, there was a famine in Taiyuan. Cui's father was devastated and didn't care about the affairs of the mansion. Cui Yan was tortured by his stepmother over and over again, and a Taoist priest was invited to the mansion to ward off evil spirits for Cui Yan. Not long after, Cui Yan disappeared again. Next, the climax of the whole story, audiences, please hold your breath and sit down."

After Chen Zhi sat cross-legged, he heard a "crash" behind him, lying on the edge of the pool, Han Long straightened up, with his front paws drooping on his chest, and sat up obediently.

"Don't look." Jie Wuji said in a low voice, "Be careful of the dark eyes."

Chen Zhi said, "Can't your dark circles go away?"

"Have you ever seen obsession with dark circles under the eyes?" Jun said helplessly, "It was painted."

"...Drawing by Han Qing?"

Jun Wu said proudly: "He personally directed, and I personally wrote."

Chen Zhi thought for a while and said, "You just don't want him to guide others, right?" No wonder he wasn't asked to "share the difficulties".

None said: "Do you still want to hear the finale?"

"……you say."

Jie Wu did not betray her: "Two years later, Cui Yan came back again. Not long after, her stepmother eloped with an ugly farmer in broad daylight."

Chen Zhi applauded: "Is this story called "Cui Taishou's History of the Green Hat"?"

Jie Wu said: "You know what you should know, and then it's up to you."

"Wait, I still want to know a few details. One is Cui Jiao's past. The other is Jiang Yi's background."

Jun Wu thought for a while and said, "Cui Jiao? When Cui Taishou died, he entrusted her to Cui Yan, and Cui Yan treated her well. Jiang Yi was the Taoist priest invited by his stepmother to torture Cui Yan. Cui Yan accepted it."

Chen Zhi whispered: "You know it so clearly, are you going to..."

Jiewu winked at Hanlong.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The two coughed as if terminally ill.

None stopped: "It's okay, you can go back."

"One more thing." Chen Zhi leaned into his ear and said, "The dragon energy is used up, can I have another one."

"...do you think I have a third eye for drawing him?"

Seemingly knowing that the two of them were whispering nothing good, Han Long who was staying in the pool suddenly turned around uneasily, and gave them a low growl of warning.

"Cough cough cough."

"Cough cough cough cough."

"Look at him like this, how do you get it?"

"You think of a way, otherwise, I will go on strike."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough!"

"Since this is the case, there is a way, and it depends on you." None of them delivered the important task.
