Chapter 373 People are panicked
Huo Yuanruo tiptoed to Chu Jie and asked, "Why did you forgive him so easily?"
Chu Jie blinked his big round eyes, "What else can I do?"
Huo Yuanruo raised his chin proudly, "In the past, if my father or eldest brother made me angry, I would never forgive them without any good intentions."
"What good stuff?" Chu Jie tilted his head and thought, "But I already have quite a few things in my private vault, so I don't lack anything."
Huo Yuanruo glanced at the man who was drinking tea seriously. "I heard that your uncle has a few exclusive secret manuals. In the past, people fought over them and finally got them. Those things are precious. Do you want them?"
Chu Jie frowned, "I'm not cut out for martial arts, I can only write simple self-defense moves. My uncle wanted me to practice hard before, but I found that I just couldn't learn. But my uncle said that my father was the same, he was great at everything except martial arts. Hehe, I probably inherited it from my father."
"Then... then you can take it over, keep it, and collect it." Huo Yuanruo was a little anxious, he really wanted to take a look at it.
Yesterday he heard a few military officers discussing it, and he felt itchy at the time.
Chu Chenfeng raised the corner of his lips slightly, "There are indeed a few good books in this king's storehouse. If Yuan Ruoru likes them, she can go directly to Lan'er to get them. She will be in charge of the palace from now on."
Huo Yuanruo raised his head proudly, "Who likes it? I don't like it. My master has a lot of good things, I don't want yours."
After saying that, he left without looking back. Well, let's go find Junior Master, hehehe.
Watching him leave gracefully, Chu Jie smiled like a little fox, "Is the emperor trying to please Brother Yuan Ruo?"
Chu Chenfeng looked a little uncomfortable. "It's not a matter of pleasing or not pleasing. I have read all those secret books, and they are of no use. If he likes it, just give it to him. It's not a waste."
Several major events happened in Kyoto today.
The evidence was irrefutable that Prime Minister Xu Tian had colluded with King Cheng to murder the former crown prince, and he was sentenced to immediate execution. The rest of those who colluded with King Cheng and Xu Tian were either exiled or demoted, depending on the severity of their crimes. In short, the entire capital was in a state of panic.
Li Yi, who had returned to the Taifu Mansion, now looked frighteningly pale.
Today in the court, I was frightened by Chu Chenfeng's brutality and couldn't recover for a long time.
He looked at Li Cong hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.
Li Cong naturally understood it, but at the same time, he could also understand the hatred in Chu Chenfeng's heart.
Li Cong also hated Chu Chenfeng in his heart, because that was his most proud student. Thinking of this, Li Cong felt that Chu Chenfeng's behavior was very satisfying.
Then King Cheng deserves to die.
After the Empress Dowager returned, she stayed in bed to recuperate. After a while, Xing Yi came and brought someone with him.
Nanny Qian hurried to invite the Empress Dowager.
In the main hall, Liaochen was wearing a white monk's robe, holding Buddhist beads in his hands, with his eyes closed, and muttering something.
The Empress Dowager was supported by Nanny Qian and her face was full of shock.
Xing Yi bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, our master asked me to bring Master Chen here. Let me tell you that he has done what he promised you."
The Empress Dowager's lips trembled. "Okay... okay, thank your prince for me."
He nodded slightly, looked at Lachen, and left.
No one knew what Le Chen said to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager never went to the White Horse Temple again after that.
Chu Chenfeng accompanied Chu Jie for dinner before preparing to return home. After all, they were newlyweds, and had their wedding night last night and today... Alas, Chu Chenfeng felt guilty.
"Master, the counselor beside King Cheng wants to see you."
"Why?"
"I don't know. He has only mentioned this since he was arrested last night. And I feel like this man looks familiar."
"This person has evil intentions. If he stays in the world, he may bring disaster to the people. He cannot be allowed to stay."
Evil intentions... Xing Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Master, I remember it. More than ten years ago, this man came to seek refuge with you, and you said that to him at that time and drove him away. But this man was stubborn and refused to leave. During the struggle, he accidentally fell into the fire, and his clothes were instantly ignited, causing large areas of burns. The prince asked a military doctor to treat him, but he didn't expect..."
In this way, Chu Chenfeng seemed to have some impression, "Then there is no need to meet."
"Yes."
"Have you arranged everything for tomorrow?"
Xing Yi frowned and said seriously, "It has been arranged, but master, do we have to leave so early? General Ye is at the border, you..."
Chu Chenfeng waved his hand, "This time, Duanmu Huo was a little too quiet. With his personality, it's impossible for him to be so quiet."
"Master, do you think they are preparing some major conspiracy? No wonder," Xing Yi said with a serious face, "We got the news this morning that Duanmu Huo has led his team away without even saying hello. In the past, apart from attacking Young Master Ye, he didn't seem to do anything out of line in Kyoto recently. It's really unlike him."
"Where's Situ Yue?"
"Shang is still in the mansion. Are you planning to let him go back to Northern Qi? But... Master, do you think he can defeat Situ Lian? This Northern Qi prince has been silent for so many years. He must be very capable to be able to endure this."
"Let's not talk about these, as long as we can keep Situ Lian busy. Simon has been eyeing our Great Chu for a long time. Duanmu Qing is old, and with his ambition, he will definitely want to take over Great Chu while he can still move."
"The prince has fought him for many years, and he holds a grudge against the prince very deeply."
Chu Chenfeng sneered and said no more, "The matter of the Wu Clan should be handled properly." Then he frowned tightly, as if he was very disgusted, "This king does not want to hear the word Wu Clan again."
"Yes."

Regent's Palace.
Li Mulan slept late last night, so she didn't get up early in the morning and is having breakfast now.
Fortunately, she didn't have to serve tea to her parents-in-law like ordinary women. Chu Chenfeng had also told her not to go to the palace. Then she would naturally listen to him. After all, a married woman should obey her husband. Of course, as for whether to listen to others or not, it still depends on her mood.
The old housekeeper in the mansion smiled like a flower, and all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
"My Lady Princess, did you have a good rest last night?"
Li Mulan put down the spoon in her hand and wiped her mouth. "It's OK."
"That's good, that's good. The princess has just entered the mansion and doesn't know much about the affairs of the mansion. Do you want to recognize someone later?"
Li Mulan glanced at Qingyu beside her and said, "It's okay to meet her."
After all, she will have to stay in this mansion in the future, so it is necessary for her to get familiar with it.
