Chi Yi is too lazy to chat so much with a tool person, but feels that the other party has something to say, so he can only show a standard smile, and his voice is sweet: "If it's about you, you don't need Prime Minister Yao, your majesty just say no to me .”

He Rongchuan sat quietly for a while with his eyes closed, then slowly got up, walked around the table to the window, and opened the window with only a gap.

The sky was half dark, blurring the vermilion walls and golden tiles of the Forbidden Palace, and looking at the thousands of fireworks in the distance, there was no place worth focusing on.A gust of cool wind leaked in through the window, messing up his loose black hair, and blowing Chi Yi under the quilt, causing him to sneeze.

The person by the window simply closed the window, but his eyes did not turn, and he spat out a low voice between his blood-stained lips: "I have lived in this Zhenghuai Palace for six years. After dinner every day, I will dismiss all servants. Ruowu If there is a second person in the room, I will not be able to sleep peacefully."

"This time I asked you to live in and do a play. I originally planned to only have one or two days. When I couldn't bear it, I would drive you out. Unexpectedly, before I knew it, it took a while."

"If you live enough, choose a room in the East and West Palaces, and ask Wang Lu to send you some servants, and then..."

"I haven't lived enough!" Chi Yi said firmly.

The man by the window suddenly turned to stare at him.

Chi Yi lowered his eyes, avoiding the scrutinizing gaze, "I live here quite well, but His Majesty hasn't summoned his concubines these days, do you think I'm in the way? Or should I go to the side hall to hide occasionally?"

"Chi Yi." He Rongchuan suddenly opened the window wide, and the cold wind rushed into the room, blowing onto Chi Yi's forehead.He sneezed a few times in a row with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yesterday I was so angry and angry with you, have you thought about the reason?"

Chi Yi was taken aback, yesterday?Wasn't it because he jumped into the water to make the wound worse?

"That's it."

He Rongchuan gently closed the window, turned around, his profile showed a little depression.

Chi Yi blinked dully, picked up a plum and threw it into his mouth, the sweet taste spread, and he gradually understood what He Rongchuan wanted to express.

He doesn't really want to move out, what he's saying is that he allows himself to choose whether to live here or not, even though he never has in the past.

And he actually said something about summoning a concubine... Chi Yi just wanted to drill into the ground.

What's more, he still didn't understand, what did his wounds have to do with He Rongchuan?What kind of anger is he?

Plus this bag of plums, isn't this person... caring about himself?But why express it so euphemistically?

Just said that he was going to be a tool man, and he hinted that he cared about himself, what a coincidence!Did he misunderstand him, this tyrant has not completely wiped out humanity?

Chi Yi looked over, and saw that the slender figure by the table was holding on to the pen, the dim light softened his outline, his hair was loosely tied, and a few stray strands broke the sharpness between his eyebrows, revealing some coquettishness.

Just because he is the protagonist of the original book, can he look so attractive?Chi Yi is jealous, no matter how handsome and handsome he is, he is innocent, and he will never be able to give birth to the kind of profundity engraved into the bone marrow.

……

The next day, Chi Yi got into a wheelchair and asked Yang Shun to push him to Chunyang Palace where Concubine Wan lived.

He was worried that this would be inappropriate. After all, his current status is an official. According to the ancient concept, he should not meet with concubines in private.

He discussed with Yang Shun, but was persuaded instead. The central idea was: Everyone is the emperor's wife, so of course we should be good sisters who love each other!

Chi Yi: ... Well, you are right.

Chunyang Palace has a spacious yard. As soon as the wheelchair entered, Chi Yi heard a soft "meow—"

There were more than a dozen cats of various colors basking in the sun in the corner, but when they saw new faces, they strolled up to Chi Yi one after another, and surrounded him curiously.

Chi Yi has raised several cats intermittently since he was a child, and he has a good impression of this kind of furry little thing. He couldn't help stretching out his hands, and a colorful one jumped into his arms.

Chi Yi stroked it, and saw an old woman walking over with cat food.He greeted with a smile, "Are all these cats raised by Concubine Wan?"

Unexpectedly, the other party glanced at him with disdain, and said coldly: "They are the cats of Chunyang Palace, I raised them."

Chi Yi was taken aback, and asked cautiously: "I saw a pure white one named Xuexue yesterday, is it from your place?"

"Xuexue..."

The old nanny's eyes suddenly became slack, and her eyes passed through him and fell in the distance, "Xuexue, she is no longer in Chunyang Palace."

Chi Yi's curiosity was aroused, and he was about to ask again, but he heard a crisp voice: "Young Master Chi, stop playing with those stray cats, they are so dirty, let's go into the house."

Concubine Wan smiled gently at Chi Yi at the door, and then gave the nanny a fierce look.

Chi Yi entered the room and quietly asked what was going on.Wanbi snorted coldly, "Those cats quarreled with me day and night, and asked the old thing to go away, but she didn't listen to my order. This person's surname is Wu, and it's not because he has been in Chunyang Palace for a long time and has served several masters, so it's just a matter of time." Don't take me seriously..."

Chi Yi comforted her a little, and then got down to business.He took out a slender paper box, removed the cover, and revealed the silver hairpin in the box, embedded with a black gemstone, although the shape was simple, it was very delicate.

"I told His Majesty about you falling into the water and losing your hairpin. He felt sorry for you, so he immediately pulled the hairpin off his head and said he gave it to you. How about it, are you happy now? "

Concubine Wan caressed the hairpin, but the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty doesn't care about me, it's because of your face."

Chi Yi was a little embarrassed, he laughed twice, "It's okay, I know what he likes, if you want to chase him, I'll help you in the future."

Her beautiful phoenix eyes revealed a hint of aloofness, "Young master Chi is so attentive, does he want to care about what I want?"

What Chi Yi was waiting for was her words, "I just want you to help pass a message to your brother."

Wanpin's eyes immediately turned alert.

"Tell him for me that if there is anything abnormal in his camp, he must report it in time."

"……this one?"

Concubine Wan was puzzled, but for the hairpin's sake, she agreed.

……

In the afternoon, He Rongchuan called several important ministers to the front hall for the discussion, and showed them a draft he had written.

In this draft, he proposed to add some institutions in the court, such as the department in charge of supervision, the mechanism of reviewing government orders, the secret agents who monitor the capital, and even a subversive system of selecting officials...

Everything is detailed and meticulous.All the ministers were astonished after reading it, and the ideas in it were something they had never heard of and could not have imagined at all.

It was rare for He Rongchuan to patiently explain to them sentence by sentence.Although Chi Yi only wrote a few words in each article, it was enough for him to understand what the court lacked and needed.

Due to the importance and complexity of this matter, he saw Wang Lu on the sidelines hesitating to speak several times, and he didn't pause.

So when he knew that Chi Yi had gone to see Concubine Wan, it was already evening.After listening to Wang Lu repeating what those two had said, he slammed the teacup on the table heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Find the exact same hairpin, give it to him, and just say... Didn't he say that I love Concubine Wan? Well, then tell him, I love him too."

……

In Zhenghuai Palace, Chi Yi took over the hairpin inlaid with black gemstones, and after hearing Wang Lu's recitation of He Rongchuan's words, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

He thought that stealing hairpins in the protagonist's halo was safe and impossible to be discovered.But who knew that someone was watching him when he went out!

Thinking about it, I am a suspicious person sent by Prime Minister Yao, and his identity is still very subtle. How could a suspicious tyrant not send someone to watch him.

Sending a hairpin is blaming myself for doing his things without authorization, seeing his wife, and talking nonsense in front of others...

Fortunately, He Rongchuan did not directly convict him, which shows that he still wants to see his own attitude.Then wait for him to come back and admit his mistake desperately.

……

This night He Rongchuan met several officials alone, and he had already entered the watch when he returned to Zhenghuai Palace.The palace was brightly lit, and Chi Yi was sitting on the side of the couch, but his head and body fell on the pillow at some point, sleeping soundly, with a hairpin still in his hand.

Wang Lu stepped forward to pat him, "Master Chi, wake up, His Majesty is back."

Chi Yi was shocked, wiped away the mist in his eyes, got up immediately, knelt down on the spot without thinking, and said in a sleepy voice: "Your Majesty... I will apologize to you."

He Rongchuan drove Wang Lu away, looked at him indifferently, "I'm not afraid."

"I..." Chi Yi closed and opened his eyes forcefully, forcing himself to wake up, "I didn't discuss it with you, it's my fault, but I did it to help you."

"What is the purpose of bringing it to Xu Jian?"

Chi Yi buried his head and explained seriously: "If His Majesty asks him directly, he will inevitably whitewash the peace. But if I say it through Concubine Wan, then he will feel that His Majesty wants to hear the truth and will report it truthfully."

Chi Yi believed that the reason why Xu Jian was chilled by the emperor in the original book was because those soldiers were making troubles. He didn't say anything about it, and He Rongchuan didn't know about it. In the end, it got out of hand.If it can be detected and resolved early, it will not cause such consequences.

Chi Yi knew that something would happen to the barracks, but he couldn't tell He Rongchuan directly, he could only remind General Xu and let him speak for himself.

He Rongchuan's expression gradually eased, and he went to sit aside, but did not let Chi Yi get up.

After waiting for a long time, Chi Yi was so sleepy on his knees that he finally heard a sentence: "You told Concubine Wan that you know what I like, so why don't you tell me what I like?"

There was a hint of imperceptible playfulness in the voice, but Chi Yi understood that it was a big taboo for him to say that.He quickly explained: "I'm coaxing her, how dare I speculate on Your Majesty's preferences."

"I don't know, but I can guess."

He Rongchuan leaned back in his chair, picked up a piece of ink, and circled it in the inkstone.

Chi Yi regretted that he said this to Wanbi during the day, but was caught and questioned.The original book only described how He Rongchuan governed the country and fought wars, who knows what he likes!

Chi Yi bit the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty likes to be in control and command the three armies."

He Rongchuan sneered, and knocked the ink stick on the edge of the inkstone, "What else?"

"……I really do not know."

Chi Yi's mind was still in a daze, so he was caught answering strange questions, and he lost the patience to deal with it long ago.

——subconsciously felt that anyway, He Rongchuan would not kill himself easily.

"The power is in your hands, ordering the three armies?"

At some point, He Rongchuan walked up to him and stopped one meter away.He bent down, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and when he stared at Chi Yi, he seemed to poke a hole in him.

The voice was full of threats: "What else?"
