Hearing the sound of breathing behind him getting heavier, Fu Nian couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Such a disrespect is almost a blasphemy to the emperor...

He didn't care much, and hurried to pick up the clothes on the ground.

But before he could bend down, his abdomen was grabbed by a powerful arm, forcing him to stand up.

"Who allowed you to move?"

Before he had time to answer, Fu Tian could only feel the force behind him pressing him firmly against the wall, pressing on his shoulders, and there was no room for him to move.

Fu Nian subconsciously wanted to struggle, but was crushed even harder.

"I originally let you enter the Chengyuan Hall because your hands and feet are broken in places, your temper is dull, and your back is pleasing when you don't make a sound. Normally, you look so much like... a Old man," Chu Chaoyi squinted his eyes, lowered his voice, and spoke in an extremely unfriendly tone, "If it weren't for your back, why do you think you would tolerate you breaking the palace rules many times? Trying to elope with the princess and hurt the prince, Tiao/. Xi Ze Wang’s maid, if you resist and fail to obey, any one of them is enough to kill you in the Criminal Division. This private collection of banned books, plus body search not only resisted but also dared to—”

Fu Nian hastily explained, "This subordinate is just nervous, and didn't mean to be rude to you, no matter who it is—"

Before he finished speaking, Fu Nian felt that big hand cover him again.

It was stronger than last time, and besides anger, other emotions were also mixed.

Immediately afterwards, an unexpected touch hit his whole body.

The feeling of blank mind gradually passed, and Fu Nian gradually came to his senses.

How could Chu Chaoyi do this for others...

"Who would make you look like this?" Chu Chaoyi clasped his hands a little more when he heard this, and asked with a fierce face.

With this strength, if he wanted to break free, he could break free, but it would definitely hurt Chu Chaoyi.

At that time, the guards outside the palace came in and saw him wounding the emperor in disheveled clothes... Fu Nianqiang supported his not clear mind, thought for a while, and nodded.

After nodding his head, he felt that the confinement was a little tighter, so he hurriedly tried to shake his head.

But no matter shaking his head or nodding, it seems that it is not the correct answer.

The ridiculous things didn't stop there.

No matter how hard the big hand covered his mouth, he still couldn't help letting out a groan from his throat.

The breathing sound from the side of my ear was obviously a lot heavier, "But it's okay, I thought that since you had the courage to elope with your relatives, I thought you were a man who valued love and righteousness and dared to be a man. If your reputation is humiliated, you will surely It would be better for jade to be broken than to be whole."

The sound entered his ears intermittently, and Fu Nian could only fight for a little more room to breathe from between his fingers.

"Actually, I have long wanted you to do some errands other than the bodyguard's job, but I thought that you belonged to me and didn't want to be a thief..." At this point, Chu Chaoyi paused on purpose, There seemed to be too many sharp eyes—a little bit of other distracting thoughts, "I didn't expect that I was worrying too much."

Hearing these unbearable words, Fu Nian was powerless to refute.

Familiar breathing, voice, palm, and body temperature, no matter what, are enough to make the mind collapse.

His breathing was not smooth, Fu Nian could feel his cheeks were terribly hot, and the mist in his eyes gradually blurred his vision.

He kept pinching his palms, reminding himself that he couldn't do anything more disrespectful in front of the imperial court.

But Fu Nian is human after all, after a few times of patience, no matter how hard he pinched his palm, the pain nerves gradually became less sensitive.

In the end, the pain gradually faded away. In the silence, Fu Nian pinched his palm tightly, and the panic on his face was still frozen in an instant. No matter how he controlled it, his body would tremble slightly.

When his brain was still in chaos, Fu Nian felt that his breathing became much easier, and the confinement behind him was also loosened.The whole person couldn't help kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.

When consciousness gradually recovered, Fu Nian seemed to hear a sneer from behind, which was a little creepy.

He randomly grabbed the scattered clothes on the ground and hurriedly put them on.

While tying his wrists, a hand suddenly came across in front of him.

Subconsciously, Fu Nian wanted to hide, but when he moved a little, the back of his head bumped into his younger sister.

"Clean up what you dirty yourself."

The voice behind him suddenly sounded, and he finally realized what the other party meant.

Fu Nian didn't speak, and quickly found a piece of clean gauze from his body.

"I didn't ask you to wipe it." Chu Chaoyi lazily reminded, and moved his hand to his lips again, "Tongue."

Seeing the back figure somewhat similar to the one in his memory, obediently kneeling on the ground, his body still trembling, Chu Chaoyi was a little lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, Chu Chaoyi still took his hands back, found a handkerchief on his own, and kept wiping his hands.

Suddenly no need for him to clean up?

When Fu Nian realized that the man behind him was leaving, he was secretly delighted.

He didn't speak, still knelt on the ground, straightening his clothes silently.

After putting on his clothes, Fu Nian was still kneeling on the ground, all the hot spots on his face had faded away, except for his slightly disheveled hair, he could no longer see what kind of ridiculous thing happened just now.

"How does it feel?"

Hearing this question, Fu Nian was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.

Chu Chaoyi asked him...how did he feel?

Fu Nian suspected that he had heard wrong, or misunderstood, so he dared not answer.

"Speak." Chu Chaoyi urged again, his tone seemed to be much clearer than before, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Fu Nian couldn't figure out what this man was thinking, so he wanted to kill him just now, and now he asked him...

"Fear. The subordinates are terrified." Fu Tian thought for a long time before opening his mouth.

"Only fear?" Chu Chaoyi asked.

After asking, there was no response for a long time, only the kneeling back clenched fists could be seen.

"Next time I hear you come to the main hall, remember to wear a mask in advance and hide your voice. The banned book has already been burned for you, so I won't punish you more this time, if there is another time..."

In the second half of the sentence, Fu Yan didn't hear Chu Chaoyi continue speaking for a long time.

After a long while of silent confrontation, the sound of Chu Chaoyi's footsteps gradually drifting away could be heard.

After confirming that there was no second person in the main hall, Fu Niancai glanced back suspiciously.

Chu Chaoyi left as expected, but the main hall door was still closed, but the side door leading to the study room was opened, Chu Chaoyi should have gone out from there.

After repeatedly confirming that he was the only one left, Fu Nian tiptoed up.

He remembered that there were several places where secret edicts were hidden in the main hall, but Chu Chaoyi didn't seem to have used these secret chambers in the previous life, and of course, it might have been hidden from him.

Fu Nian still decided to investigate.

He quickly searched all the secret cabinets he knew, and sure enough, except for the spider web, his sister Ji Ji found it.In the end, he could only leave the main hall resentfully.

At this time, most of the people were working on errands. Fu Nian returned to the living courtyard and straightened his messy hair.

The events of not so long ago are still vivid in my mind.

Just like in the previous life, Fu Nian couldn't figure out what this man was thinking, and for a second, he wished he could be strangled to death in the main hall, with a fierce tone.In the next second, he asked him how he felt with a smile... There was even a next time.

After rinsing his mouth, Fu Nian let go of his left fist and looked at the piece of fabric torn from his palm.

It was the dragon robe worn by Chu Chaoyi.

It wasn't that he wanted to pull it off on purpose, it's just that when he came back to his senses, the rag was already in his hand.

Fu Nian put the small piece of cloth close to the tip of his nose and sniffed it like a dog.

"Crazy, as expected, still a lunatic." Fu Yan said to himself.

Back in the imperial study, Chu Chaoyi took a sip of tea, lit the incense burner on his own, wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief again and again, and then called out, "Chu Yao."

Immediately, there was a figure beside the screen, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"How is the investigation going? Have you found out about the whereabouts of Concubine Xi Qiao?" Chu Chaoyi asked blankly while fiddling with the incense burner, "Is it my younger brother's beloved concubine who was wandering outside and spread out to throw her away?" The face of the royal family. After so long, there is still no result?"

"Return to Your Majesty. At present, we can only find out that it was lost in the river mouth outside the capital. The dog has also been checked. The breath is indeed gone to the river. According to the nearby residents, no strange woman has ever passed by. The river flows all year round. The river is stable, the river is level, and there is no body found after half a month of salvage. Originally, it was judged that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, but now various signs show that it is more like...fleeing to the south." Chu Yao lowered his head, ZZ said truthfully.

The incense in the room was very strong, and Chu Yao was so choked that he wanted to cough, thinking that it was rare to see such a strong and choking incense in the study.

"Water escape?" Chu Chaoyi was obviously surprised by this conclusion.

"Yes, Shui Dun. However, the specific landing place has not been found yet."

Chu Chaoyi was silent for a moment, then frowned, and asked, "Princess Xi, Qiao's family runs a weaving workshop. She has lived in the capital for generations, and her family is considered wealthy. But the capital is not near the water, and Qiao's family has been weak since she was a child. ,——Do not step out of the door. She is a sick and weak woman with little feet, and she can escape the capital quietly. Weak and sick since childhood, can a young lady raised in the capital know how to drink water? Would you dare to do this?"

Chu Yao: "..."

Chu Chaoyi: "Continue to investigate, if you want to see people, you need to see corpses. If it is true as you said, the breath broke the clue by the river, and she was either drowned in the water, or...she was not from the beginning... If one person is at large, there must be an accomplice."
