promise you

Before meeting Mu Cheng, the emperor originally had a lot to say in his heart.But when Mu Cheng walked in, he couldn't say a word and just kept looking at Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng belatedly realized that it might be because he had never saluted the emperor, so he looked at him like that.But what does the saluting posture that the prince taught just now look like?Mu Cheng forgot for a while, he hung his head, his body was stiff for a long time, and then he stammered and said: "Mu Cheng, a grass-roots man, kowtow... kowtow to the emperor."

"You don't need to be too polite, King Yu should have already told you. I just want to talk to you." Mu Cheng opened his mouth first, and the emperor had something to say, "How old are you this year?"

"If you go back to the emperor, according to Caomin's grandmother, Caomin will be twenty-two this year." After Mu Cheng lost his memory, he didn't even know his own age.

"22——" the emperor repeated the age, and suddenly said, "I have a daughter who is as old as you." Until now, all the evidence shows that Mu Cheng has nothing to do with him or Chu Anxiang , but he is obviously as old as Chu Hui. If Xiang'er gave birth to two children and sent one of them out of the palace, it would not be unreasonable.

Mu Cheng didn't know how to respond to these words. What kind of words could he answer? There are too many people who are as old as the princess in the world. Could it be that the emperor wants to talk to all of them?Fortunately, the prince said in advance that if there is any question that he can't answer, he will smile at the emperor, and the question will be over.

The emperor and Mu Cheng stayed together for a total of half an hour, and during this half an hour, Mu Cheng laughed awkwardly many times, and finally waved his mercy with a big hand, allowing Mu Cheng to step back first.Mu Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully to the emperor, and then stepped back.

After Mu Cheng left, the emperor was silent for a long time, and finally opened the door of the small study, and told Eunuch Chen who was waiting outside the door, "Get up, I want to go back to the palace."

"The slave obeys the order!"

......

Royal study.

Chu Hui counted the time, and it was time for her father to drive back to the palace. She didn't know how many things her father had found, and the two of them might quarrel after a while, so she sent Yun Wan back to wait in advance, so as not to Be angered.

"Then I'll go first, princess, be careful." Yun Wan knew that she would only add to the chaos by staying, so she didn't insist.

Not long after Yun Wan left, the emperor's chauffeur arrived.Chu Hui took a deep breath, regained her normal expression, stood up and greeted her: "I will see my father, didn't my father promise my son to rest in the palace? Why did you come to the imperial study again? The handbook presented is nothing important, if there is one, I will definitely sort it out and send it to you." She seemed to be unaware of the emperor's whereabouts, and said a few more words after asking for peace.

The emperor looked at her with a frown, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, not believing that she didn't know his whereabouts, so he opened his mouth to test: "I just went to Prince Yu's mansion, didn't you know?"

"Why did the father suddenly want to go to the uncle's mansion?" Chu Hui showed a surprised expression, "If you want to go to relax, the uncle's mansion is not a good place to go."

"I saw a person in Yu Wang's mansion." A long time ago, the emperor found that he could not see through Chu Hui, and now it was difficult to distinguish the truth from what Chu Hui said, so it was better to put the words on the bright side.

The originally happy expression on Chu Hui's face also faded, she purposely put on a serious face, and said, "My son thought that the father came to talk to my son, but I didn't expect that he came to ask for a crime." What does it look like? I don't know who the father saw and got so angry."

"..." The emperor was so blocked by Chu Hui's words that he almost couldn't breathe. He waited for a long time before he said, "It's a man named Mu Cheng. I don't know if you recognize him or not?"

"Ah, my son will recognize him!" Chu Hui was secretly cold in her heart. Mu Cheng had lived in the palace for a long time, and Chu Hui often went to Yuwang's palace before. It would be ridiculous if he really said he didn't know him? "Why did the emperor suddenly mention him?"

"Then you see his appearance, don't you think there is a problem? Why did no one tell me about you and King Yu?" She admitted very simply, but made it impossible for the emperor's pre-prepared questioning words to vent.

Even if she said that, Chu Hui had an excuse. She said: "Father knows that I have always disliked your favorite concubine. From my point of view, Mu Cheng's resemblance to her is just a coincidence. The emperor will never give up." Because of this anger? You know that there are many similar people in the world, and I don’t think it’s Mu Cheng’s fault.”

"You have a good relationship with him, why are you defending him like this?" The emperor became suspicious again. He knew Chu Hui's temperament, and treated others very coldly. After all these years, there was only one Yun Wan who walked into her heart for some reason. Why do you care so much about Mu Cheng?

"Of course it's because Mu Cheng once saved my son, he is a warm-hearted and good man." Chu Hui's words were mixed with truth and lies. Even if the emperor went to investigate, he couldn't find anything.After all, seeing his father like this, he should not have doubted about Mu Cheng's life experience, so it's only a matter of time before he can hide it for a while.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately shifted his attention away from Mu Cheng: "He saved you? What happened to you?"

"..." Chu Hui was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect her father to care about her so much. She was still asking about Mu Cheng, but when she heard the news that she might be injured, she brought the topic to him immediately. to himself. "It's all right, it's just a bunch of little guys, it can't hurt my son at all. Is there anything else you can do? If there's nothing else, go back and rest first."

After hearing Chu Hui's words, the emperor turned around and walked out.He didn't realize something was wrong until he got out the door. Didn't he come here today to question Chu Hui? Why did Huier send her away after a few words?He didn't ask what he wanted to ask, when did Hui'er become so eloquent?

"Your majesty, do you want to go back to the bedroom now?" Eunuch Chen couldn't help asking when he saw the emperor standing in front of the imperial study and did not leave.

"Go back, what else can you do if you don't go back? After all, I can't stay and review papers now!"

......

After confirming that her father had left, Chu Hui slumped on the chair.Before she knew it, cold sweat had covered her whole body, and the clothes behind her were even soaked.

Fortunately, father had temporarily believed that Mu Cheng was just an ordinary person, so he didn't ask any further.But I'm not used to how to say it, Mu Cheng's life experience has always been a scorpion, and if he wants to make it safe, he still has to wait for all the dust to settle.

Well, it's true that Chu Hui couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to firmly control her fate in her own hands, not in the hands of others, because one accident after another eventually led to an irreversible catastrophe.Although she has been a supervisor of the country, she doesn't do much, the reason is nothing more than fear of her father's suspicion.But no matter whether her father is suspicious of her or not, it is absolutely impossible for her to pass on to her willingly, so there is no need for her to pretend anymore.
