promise you

After two days, Chu Hui also calmed down and thought of many things.This time, she was too impulsive and openly opposed her father, but she didn't regret it, she couldn't let Yun Wan come to this water dungeon alone, she knew very well that Yun Wan was locked in the water dungeon alone and dropped a floor The skins are light and will not be as safe and sound as they are now.

But now it's not time to tear up the face with the emperor, he is the master of the world, life and death can be taken away, if you really offend him, there will be no good end.Especially... Especially Chu Hui knew in her heart that his love for her was not that deep.So what Chu Hui has to do now is to give the emperor a step down.

"Your Highness wants to go back to his own palace!" Eunuch Chen couldn't help asking, he wanted to persuade the princess to go to the imperial study first to see if the emperor had made a mistake or something, but thinking of the princess' temper, he was afraid that it would be self-defeating.

Chu Hui didn't answer him directly, but instead asked, "Is the father in the imperial study now?"

Eunuch Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly after realizing it: "Yes, Your Highness wants to see the emperor first?"

"Of course I'm going." Chu Hui said, then turned around and instructed Yun Wan in a soft voice, "Yun Wan, you go back first, and after you get back, let Ziyu boil a bowl of ginger soup to drink. The place in the water prison is cloudy and cold, and your body is weak, so don't turn around and catch the wind and cold."

"But the princess—" Yunwan tugged on her sleeve, unwilling to let go, "but in the end she let go little by little, and only said a few words, "Princess, it's my fault and it's my fault. No matter how punished I am, I should bear it alone.I don't want to burden the princess any more. "

"What are you thinking about?" Chu Hui couldn't help but patted her on the head, "No wonder you've been so preoccupied these past two days. You were thinking about these things. Don't worry, the two of us have the same blessings and the same difficulties If you really want to be punished, you won't be left behind. Besides, since Father let us out, he must have forgiven us, right Eunuch Chen?" Chu Hui's eyes fell on Eunuch Chen again.

"Of course, the emperor has found out that there is a reason why the princess did not return overnight." Eunuch Chen said hastily.

"Really? Since Father has already found out, it saves me the trouble of explaining." Chu Hui's expression remained unchanged, but her fists hidden under her sleeves could not help clenching a little. He sent someone to investigate him. If he wanted to investigate, he might not be able to hide the matter of Mo Chenglu.But it's okay to know, after all, his matter can't be kept secret for a long time, Chu Hui can just take this opportunity to recommend him to the emperor.

……

Royal study.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial, but he couldn't calm down. He had raised his head several times during the time of a cup of tea, and every time he looked at the door and then lowered his head.

This action was repeated countless times, and finally there was some movement outside.

"Squeak—" The door was gently pushed open, and Eunuch Chen walked in first, with a smile in his voice, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here."

The emperor's face was happy at first, and then he returned to his usual rigidity, coughed twice before saying: "Since she is here, let her come in!"

"Father is so cruel. I have just imprisoned my son for two days, and now I am still so indifferent to my son." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Chu Hui's words rang out.

"..." The emperor was choked by Chu Hui, and then continued after a pause, "Is it because I have to imprison you? Isn't it that you have to rush to share weal and woe with others?"

"Isn't it the father's fault for indiscriminately accusing the sons and ministers?" The face can be deceiving, but the emotion is not. Chu Hui can feel that the emperor is not so angry anymore, and his words are not so restrained.

"Look, it's really my fault!" The emperor blew his beard and stared angrily, "When did I blame you? And when did I blame you?" The emperor felt that he was really wronged.

Chu Hui's reason was very good, and she directly took Yun Wan out: "No one in or outside the palace knows that Yun Wan went in and out with me, and that Er Chen didn't return at night because Yun Wan obeyed Er Chen's order. How will I meet people in the palace in the future?" She knew that her father had a grudge against Yun Wan, and she didn't want to let herself value her too much, so in front of her father, She had to pretend that she didn't care about Yun Wan that much.

"So, you are only doing it for your own face?" the emperor asked dubiously.

"Of course, and my son went out that day not because of fun, but because he heard that there was a teacher in the capital who wrote an excellent article, so he went to see him." Chu Hui pretended not to know that her father went to investigate I asked myself, "Father, take a guess, who is that gentleman who wrote an excellent article?"

"Why, do I still recognize this gentleman?" The emperor became a little interested. He knew the existence of this gentleman, but he didn't know who it was.

"He is Mo Chenglu, the Tanhua Lang personally ordered by my father, does my father still have an impression?"

"Mo Chenglu? When you say that, I have some impressions. Is he still editing at the Imperial Academy? Why did he go to the school to teach again?" The emperor remembered a little, and the first thing he thought of was not to love talent. , but to pursue accountability.

Chu Hui said angrily: "Father, why are you still planning to punish Mr. Mo for his crimes? My son has read Mr. Mo's articles. He is a person with real talents and practical learning. Father should reuse him."

"... There is some truth in what you said, but the way to be an official is not just relying on good writing. I will send someone to investigate this Mo Chenglu. If he is really as talented as you said, I will definitely use him again." The emperor gave Mo Chenglu a chance when he said this.

Chu Hui believed that with Mo Chenglu's ability, he would be able to seize this opportunity.It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to tell Mo Chenglu that he had to pull Fang Shiyao down before he was promoted.

"Hui'er, what are you laughing at?" The emperor saw that Chu Hui hadn't spoken for a long time, and when he looked up at her, he realized that she didn't know what she was laughing at.

Chu Hui was shocked by the sound, but quickly found an excuse: "My son is thinking that I have made such a great contribution, should my father reward me?"

The emperor tapped her eyebrows lightly, and scolded her with a smile: "I have only such a private treasury, and you still think about it all day long. Tell me, what are you looking for this time?"

"If you like it, you have to see it first before you can win it!" Chu Hui spoke confidently, "Anyway, it's not the first time that treasure house servant has entered!"

"Okay, I will obey you. Chen Fu—" the emperor called out to Eunuch Chen, "Take Huier to my private treasury, and just take whatever she likes."

"Thank you, Royal Father!" Chu Hui had obvious surprise on her face.

But when Chu Hui turned around, the smile on her face disappeared completely.His eyes were no longer as clear as they were when he was in front of the emperor, but changed to deep.It's not that she wants something, but she has to. She knows that her father locked her up this time, and she will definitely compensate her. Only in this way can her father have a clear conscience.But the father is so good at face, he must be embarrassed to put this on the bright side, Chu Hui still has to give him a step down, so that everyone will be happy, right?

Look, everyone envied Chu Hui, the princess, who was favored by her father and emperor, but she didn't think she was so lucky, and she wouldn't be blinded by this illusion again.In the royal family, there is no true father-daughter love, but he tried every means to stage this scene of father-daughter love, which not only moved himself, but also deceived others.

……

When Chu Hui returned to her palace, she was holding an ebony square box in her hand.This is something she kept in the emperor's private treasury. It has not been opened yet, and she does not know what is inside.

Yunwan and Ziyu came up together, but Chu Hui threw the wooden box into Ziyu's hands: "This is a gift from my father, please put it down!" She held onto it with her free hand. Yun Wan.

Seeing her appearance, Yunwan knew she had passed the test safely, so she tactfully didn't mention the matter of the emperor and the imperial study, instead she took her hand into the small kitchen, pointed to the steaming bowl of ginger soup and said, "Princess, I made it for you with my own hands."

Chu Hui didn't doubt that he was there, so she picked it up and took a sip, but she almost vomited out unexpectedly: "Why is it so bitter?"

"Because I put pistachio in it." Yunwan said with some pride, "I was imprisoned for two days for no reason, so I must use pistachio to get rid of bad luck!"

Seeing her smug expression, Chu Hui couldn't help laughing, the happy grass was none other than Huang Lian.This was the last time she teased Yun Wan, coaxing her to drink Huang Lian and sophistry, she never thought that the retribution would come to her so soon.

However, although Huang Lian was bitter, Yun Wan boiled it herself, and Chu Hui pinched her nose and drank it in one breath.After drinking it, he said, "Where did you get the pistachio?"

"I happened to see what was left over from a few days ago." Yunwan explained that she had contracted a cold a few days ago, and the doctor Leng prescribed a lot of medicines, among which Huanglian was prescribed the most. Well, Huang Lian still has a lot left, just enough for these two childish guys to play tricks on each other.

"Is there any more?" Chu Hui asked suddenly.

Yun Wan immediately felt vigilant, and shook her head vigorously: "No more! There is not even a single bit left. Princess, are you still trying to trick me into drinking?"

The response was pretty fast this time.Chu Hui thought to herself, of course she would not admit it: "Look at what you said, do I look like that kind of person?"

"It's not like, it's just..." Yun Wan puffed her face and muttered softly.

"Little girl, you are really brave. What are you talking about?" Chu Hui was not embarrassed when someone exposed her true colors. , begging for mercy again and again.

After the two of them played, the sullenness in Chu Hui's heart dissipated immediately, and Yun Wan was really her little lucky star.She sometimes wonders, if she hadn't met Yun Wan in the first place when she came back from her previous life, would she be able to pretend to be up to now.

Chu Hui suddenly hugged Yun Wan gently: "It's nice to have you by my side." She often reveals her fragile side in front of Yun Wan, and she only dares to be her truest self in front of her.

"..." Yun Wan also hugged her back, and waited until her breathing gradually calmed down before saying, "Princess, is this your new way of admitting defeat?"

"Yeah, I've surrendered!" Chu Hui had nothing to admit, "When you're tired, you have to admit defeat."

……

One month later, early morning.Fang Shiyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was impeached, saying that he formed a party for personal gain.Forming a party for personal gain is not a small crime, so let's investigate it directly. I didn't expect that the problem was actually found out after the investigation, and the evidence is conclusive.

Fang Shiyao was only a third-rank official, and he came from a poor family. The emperor naturally didn't believe that he alone could have such abilities, so he had to investigate further.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there were not many people who were truly clean.The emperor didn't want to investigate, but he didn't expect that after only ten days of investigation, so many people were involved. Prime Minister Xie was one of them, Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Households, Mr. Qi from the Ministry of Rites... After the investigation, The list was handed over to the emperor.

The emperor was furious when he saw the list. He had already turned a blind eye to the behavior of these officials on weekdays, but he did not expect that they would be so colluding in private.

"What a Fang Shiyao, what a prime minister Xie! Are you planning to rebel?" The emperor threw the evidence in front of Fang Shiyao.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads, one or two wished to break their scalps: "The emperor calms down, and the ministers are in panic!"

Fang Shiyao directly smashed his scalp, and the blood stained the golden steps. His voice was also extremely abrupt: "The emperor forgives the crime. I dare not have the intention of treason. I have been wronged."

"Wronged? The evidence is conclusive. Don't you think that all my subordinates are a bunch of poor people, or that I ordered them to wrong you?"

"I dare not!"

"Don't dare, why don't you dare?" The emperor stared at Fang Shiyao, and the words he said directly determined his fate, "Come here, put the mastermind Fang Shiyao on death row, choose a day to execute him, and steal his family property , his family members, regardless of gender, were all exiled in northern Xinjiang. The accomplices Xie Wenxuan, Chen Keji, Qi Minlai, and Wu Yan were deprived of their official titles and ransacked their homes.

The news of Chaotang soon spread to Chu Hui's ears. At that time, she and Yun Wan were copying books in the study. When she heard this, her brush strokes in her hand became heavy, and a good word was discarded.

On the other hand, Yunwan remained calm, and the three words "Qi Lai" that the guard said just now did not move her at all.

"I know, you go down first!"

"Yes!"

After the dark guard left, Chu Hui grabbed Yun Wan's hand: "You..."

"Princess, don't worry, I'm fine." Yunwan knew what she was going to say, and interrupted her directly, "From the moment I got the divorce letter in my hand, I didn't regard that person as my father. Calling me cold-blooded and heartless Well, regardless of disobedience or filial piety, I am such a person."

Chu Hui looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I'm not worried about you, I'm just glad that I forced him to write the divorce letter. Otherwise, wouldn't he want to implicate my Yunwan?" Since Yunwan didn't care about Qi Ninglai Chu Hui no longer worried about her life.

Yunwan asked curiously: "Princess, is this incident related to Mo Chenglu?" She remembered that the mastermind of this incident was Fang Shiyao, and she would not believe that it had nothing to do with Mo Chenglu.

"It should be. I didn't expect Mo Chenglu to be so capable." To be honest, Chu Hui was also taken aback when she heard the news. I didn't plan to catch them all, because it didn't have much to do with me.The only reason she wanted Fang Shiyao to fall was because he had offended her and wanted to take advantage of Mo Chenglu. She really didn't expect that Mo Chenglu would complete this deal so well. "However, he made a stroke of genius and wiped out all the things that Chaozhong didn't deal with me. I have to thank him very much."

As soon as the case of forming a party for private interests was heard, Chu Hui couldn't wait to take Yunwan out of the palace and head straight to Baiyu Academy.

This time Mo Chenglu had no reason not to see them again, the old man took them directly to the inner hall.

When Chu Hui saw Mo Chenglu, he was still holding a book on state governance in his hand, as if he didn't hear anything outside the window.Chu Hui laughed before saying, "Mr. Mo is really a calm person. He almost disturbed the entire court, but he is still so leisurely."

"It turns out that the young master is here." Mo Chenglu cupped his hands towards her, "Young master, don't make fun of me, it's not all due to me, if it wasn't for that Fang Shiyao was really so bold, I really didn't take him The solution." Fang Shiyao had to blame himself, they had indeed formed a party for personal gain, and although they hadn't reached the point of seeking to usurp the throne, they had almost influenced the court situation.

"Mr. Mo, don't be humble. I came to you today to fulfill the promise I made at the beginning." Chu Hui stretched out two fingers, "There are two roads in front of you right now, one is the court. There have been major changes, and there are vacancies in every position. You should take the lead in this matter, and it is not difficult to fill a vacancy. The second is to leave the capital and go to the local experience first. I can satisfy all civil and military officials without exceeding the third rank. You. I don’t know which one would you like to choose?”

Chu Hui believes that Mo Chenglu can be a good official if he stays in the capital, but she can't forget the illustrious military achievements of Mo Chenglu in her previous life. Perhaps he is more suitable for the battlefield.

"..." Mo Chenglu was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I want to go to the army."

When she didn't get the answer, Chu Hui was also very nervous. When Mo Chenglu said those words, she was relieved.It's just that she is still a little curious. In his previous life, Mo Chenglu had no ambitions and chose to abandon literature and pursue martial arts. In this life, he obviously has more choices. Why did he go the old way?Thinking of this, Chu Hui asked directly: "Can I ask Mr. why did you abandon literature and pursue martial arts?"

"One is unwilling to repeat the same mistakes, and the other is willing to shed blood."

The author has something to say: the number of words in Chapter V is a little less, and I will make it up bit by bit in the future
