I, the Treacherous Minister, Rebel, But How Did the Empress Turn the Tables?

My name is Chu Yi. As the Minister of Personnel of An Country, I harbored a singular ambition: to rebel and seize the Great An Dynasty. To succeed in this usurpation, I formed factions, purged diss...

Chapter 43 A Gift for You

Originally, Yuzhu thought that His Majesty had finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but who knew that after that, His Majesty seemed to be addicted to this game of dual identities.

Whenever he had the chance during the day, he would go back to the palace to handle government affairs. At night, he would go to the Chu family and stay there until the next morning.

In this regard, Yuzhu had a very bold idea in her heart. She was afraid that His Majesty had fallen in love with Lord Chu.

I'm afraid that His Majesty himself doesn't know these things and thinks that she is still in the dark.

Yuzhu had something on her mind and remained silent.

At this time, Xiao Ling also turned around and saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak and seemed to be worried.

"Why do you look unhappy? Are there any rumors out there?"

I have to admit that Xiao Ling's sixth sense was online, and he quickly realized that something was wrong.

Yuzhu couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so she had to bite the bullet and explain:

"Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that Master Chu is about to marry Miss Shen..."

Xiao Ling: “?”

This is totally unrelated. Are the rumors spread by people outside so outrageous?

"These are all rumors, there is no such thing at all!"

Although she was very angry, she still had to maintain her dignity in front of Yuzhu.

"Don't think too much. You have to keep my affairs a secret. Do you understand?"

Yuzhu nodded repeatedly, "I understand."

Seeing this, Xiao Ling felt relieved and quickly awakened the magic mirror.

Then, her people appeared in the Chu Mansion quietly.

When Chu Yi returned to the backyard from the front hall, he still saw that the light in Chen Tang's room was on.

Through the window, he could vaguely see a blurry figure in the room, which made him feel a little relieved.

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

It was Chu Yi who pushed the door open, and Xiao Ling turned around to look at him, with a bit of resentment in her tone.

She had originally wanted to have her meal, but was startled by the noise here and ran over impatiently. To be honest, she was not in a good mood at all.

"Well, maybe there are things I need to discuss with you."

Chu Yi found a chair and sat down, then looked over.

Xiao Ling felt that his smile was a bit serious, and it seemed that he came with bad intentions.

Then Chu Yi waved his hand, signaling her to come over.

Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed a few steps closer.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Chu Yi found it inexplicably funny and could only point to his legs: "Why, I asked you to come over and sit down, and you still want me to treat you?"

Now Xiao Ling understood his purpose and shook her head decisively to express her refusal.

Chu Yi couldn't stand it any longer, so he just hugged her by the waist.

Xiao Ling struggled but failed, so she just let him do it.

"Have you heard that General Shi has been promoted?"

Soon, Chu Yi got straight to the point and asked about the purpose of his visit.

"Well, of course I know... No, I... I don't know."

Xiao Ling subconsciously agreed directly, but halfway through his words he suddenly seemed to realize something was wrong.

This Chu thief suddenly came over to talk about this matter, it was obvious that something was wrong.

As for whether he would specifically instruct Shi Qingxue to train the new army, it was also because he had heard Chu Yi mention it before.

Connecting these two things, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.

Could it be that Chu Yi...is beginning to doubt himself?

But Chu Yi didn't care about her change of attitude. He just hugged her and continued to explain:

"General Shi is now the Vice Governor of the Military Governor's Office. The young emperor even sent her to the Beijing Camp to organize a new army. It seems that he is going to use her in a more important position~"

Having said that, he stopped talking and just lowered his head to look at Chen Tang's face.

Xiao Ling felt guilty being stared at, but she still pretended to be calm.

"I remember that General Shi had made great contributions. He was so young, and since there was no one else available at court, it was normal for him to be valued by the emperor."

This was how she defended herself, but she didn't realize that there was something wrong with this explanation.

"Yeah, that's true."

Chu Yi had a smile on his face. "But Tang'er, you know what a coincidence! I just told you about General Shi the day before yesterday, saying that she was one of the only two available people in the entire court, right?"

Xiao Ling was immediately frightened.

really!

This traitor still doesn't completely trust me.

She was also speechless. Thanks to the magic mirror, her travel within the Chu Mansion was very convenient, but the Chu thief was still wary of her all the time.

Why is this traitor so difficult to deal with?

So even though I have already dedicated my body to you, I don't deserve even a little bit of trust?

At this moment, Xiao Ling wanted to cry.

"Haha, yes, it's really too coincidental."

Xiao Ling's face was a bit cold. "I told the emperor that the general could be reused. Even Lord Chu praised her highly."

"When the Emperor heard this, he immediately approved and promoted General Shi overnight, and asked her to form the Beijing Army to deal with you!"

Chu Yi: “…”

The obvious sarcastic words left him speechless for a moment.

The reason he came was actually because he felt something was not right in his heart.

It is definitely impossible for Chen Tang to secretly inform the emperor.

After all, Chen Tang's every move was watched by people in the mansion, so even a carrier pigeon couldn't fly away.

Unless she grew wings and could disappear without a trace, Chu Yi really had no way to deal with her.

Moreover, if Chen Tang really said that Shi Qingxue was very capable, why did the emperor insist on immediately re-employing Shi Qingxue?

For no reason.

"I wouldn't actually doubt you because of this, but I'm just a little uneasy."

Chu Yi regained some composure and temporarily put aside the messy thoughts in his mind.

As he spoke, he lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

"I've always been a very suspicious person, especially since you've been involved with the little emperor, so... don't take it too seriously."

"You! You're trying to take advantage of me again. Who cares about you?"

Xiao Ling was annoyed by this sudden action again and stood up immediately.

This Chu Yi is really going too far!

It was clear that his words revealed distrust, yet he still wanted to take advantage of him.

Shameless!

"What do you mean by taking advantage?"

Chu Yi disagreed with this and couldn't help but pinch her waist. "Now everyone in the capital knows that I'm going to marry a wife, and you'll soon be the Shangshu's wife. Can you still call this taking advantage?"

Xiao Ling: “…”

I don't want to be the so-called Shangshu's wife at all. Do you believe it, Chu thief?

However, Chu Yi did not care about her opinion. In short, he was now determined to marry Chen Tang.

As he spoke, he took out a piece of light blue nephrite of extraordinary quality from his arms and handed it to her.

"Here, a gift for you."
