Chapter 45 Has this tyrant changed his character?

Cheng Jin couldn't believe that these words came out of Chu Chengye's mouth.

Shouldn't it be "You are so stupid and have accomplished nothing. It is better for you to go back and learn from the maid in the palace for two more years, so as not to embarrass me."

Then Cheng Jin would fly out of the Yangxin Palace.

But what is going on now?

Could it be that Chu Chengye has really changed his character? He is going to develop in the direction of a benevolent monarch.

Was he irritated by what he said yesterday? This

shouldn't be the case. Chu Chengye's psychological quality is not the kind of temperament that can be changed by what others say. No

matter what others say, you say yours, you scold yours, and if you don't change, it will make the person angry. This is Chu Chengye's temper.

Cheng Jin quietly moved to the side and observed Chu Chengye carefully.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

Cheng Jin didn't believe that Chu Chengye had changed his personality so suddenly.

Chu Chengye was worn out by Cheng Jin's voice, sighed, and put on a fierce look, saying emotionlessly:

"Are you being kept in the harem for free? You are a noble concubine, but you can't even do such a small thing. How can you be worthy of this position? Go aside and don't bother me."

Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction.

This is perfect.

A tyrant should be like this.

Cheng Jin stayed in Yangxin Palace with Chu Chengye for a whole day.

She had a hard time pretending that she knew nothing, but in fact, every time Chu Chengye reviewed someone's memorial, she would exclaim beside him.

[Tsk tsk tsk, this Lord Li is a pitiful man. His wife ran off with someone else, and the son he raised for more than ten years is not his own. Even his new concubine has an affair with a servant in the mansion. I guess the cuckold is ten feet high. ]

[It’s okay that he failed in love, and it’s okay in the officialdom too, because he has no ability and has been a low-ranking official for so many years. ]

[But he was soon dismissed from his post. Once when he submitted a memorial to greet the tyrant, he accidentally wrote a typo and it happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. ]

Chu Chengye: "..."

He is indeed a pitiful man.

Chu Chengye crossed out his typos, and for once he was not angry, he wrote a comment on his memorial.

"I'm fine, how is Lord Li's family?"

Cheng Jin looked at the words Chu Chengye wrote on the memorial and widened his eyes.

[This world is messed up. Chu Chengye even cares about others.]

[I know you want to care, but don't worry about it yet.]

[This seems to be caring, but why does it sound so murderous?]

Chu Chengye tasted the words he wrote.

There's nothing wrong with it.

It's just caring.

Ignoring Cheng Jin, he continued to review memorials.

Cheng Jin continued to poke her head out slightly.

[Lord Zhou must be having a headache recently. His only son is obsessed with the love of men. Lord Zhou was so angry that he stuffed more than a dozen beauties into his son's house in one go, but his son only likes men.]

[I'm afraid the Zhou family will be extinct.]

[Now he insists on making Chu Chengye like eating bananas. Maybe he just likes to force people. Although Chu Chengye was angry ,

he thought that Lord Zhou was really pitiful, so he waved his big hand and wrote on the memorial.

"I don't like eating bananas, no matter how hard I try."

Seeing Chu Chengye write this, Cheng Jin suddenly had an idea, and her eyes rolled to the fruits on the table.

Pretending to know nothing, she took the banana on the table in her hand.

She peeled it slowly and handed it to Chu Chengye's mouth softly, "Your Majesty has worked hard to review the memorials, eat some fruit and take a break."

Chu Chengye looked at the banana that was brought to his mouth and glanced at Cheng Jin in confusion.

Cheng Jin must have seen the words she wrote on the memorial.

She definitely did it on purpose.

But Cheng Jin just had a smile on her face, her eyes flickering, and she looked completely unaware. I guess she wanted to touch Chu Chengye's scales and then leave.

[Tyrant, tyrant, eat quickly. ]

How could Chu Chengye do what Cheng Jin wanted? He opened his mouth slightly and took a bite of the banana that he hated the most.

"Empress Rong is thoughtful."

Cheng Jin couldn't believe what she had done.

Did she just feed Chu Chengye a banana?

Doesn't Chu Chengye hate bananas the most?

He actually ate it.

She originally wanted to hate Chu Chengye, but she didn't expect to hate herself.

Cheng Jin immediately stuffed the banana into Chu Chengye's hand, "Your Majesty, please eat it yourself."

Chu Chengye didn't know why he was in such a good mood all of a sudden, and even the banana didn't seem so difficult to swallow.

He took the banana and took another tentative bite. He

spit it out immediately.

It was really disgusting.

It was not until nightfall that he heard the news about Wei An.

It was rumored in the palace that Wei An brought many people into the palace, and only brought one of the maids into Jingyang Palace.

Although it was unknown who the maid was, it was known that the maid was highly valued by the emperor. She was accompanied by guards all the way, and Wei An did not leave her side until he sent the maid to Chu Chengye.

When the maid saw Chu Chengye, she knelt on the ground and kept crying.

"I, the servant Ningru, pay my respects to the emperor and the noble concubine."

Needless to say, it was Xiao Shunzi's sister.

Ningru was so scared by Wei An's words on the way that she almost couldn't come back from the tomb of the previous emperor. She seemed to have lost her soul all the way.

She really couldn't believe that her always obedient and honest brother dared to do such a thing.

But now, there is nothing that can be done to save the situation. She also heard that Xiao Shunzi was instigated by others. Even if she is sentenced to death

, she should let Xiao Shunzi tell the person behind the scenes. Doing such a thing is inevitable to be sentenced to death. She doesn't want her brother to be cursed by future generations.

"I know that my brother has committed a serious crime, so I come here to apologize."

Chu Chengye nodded, "Did Wei An tell you?"

Ning Ru replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me for the time being. Xiao Shunzi was very timid and afraid of trouble when she was at home. To do such a thing, there must be someone behind the scenes instigating her."

"I called you here for this matter."

Thinking of something, Chu Chengye spoke slowly, "I was not thoughtful enough to send you out of the palace at will. You have suffered so much for nothing."

Ning Ru knelt on the ground and dared not raise her head.

"It's not really hardship, I'm just still serving the late emperor."

"Xiao Shunzi did this because he misunderstood that I was dead. I can't deny the blame. When we meet Xiao Shunzi and find out who is behind it, I am willing to take Xiao Shunzi with me to die as a token of my guilt."

After Ningru entered the palace, Chu Chengye went to the Dali Temple to meet Xiao Shunzi.

Because of the matter of Zhou Quan, the officials in the Dali Temple have been replaced, so naturally it is much more fair and strict than before.

Xiao Shunzi has been unwilling to say who gave the instructions, and no matter how soft or hard it is, it doesn't work. He insisted that he wanted Chu Chengye to die to get rid of harm for the people.

The official who tortured him remembered Chu Chengye's instructions and must keep him alive, so he didn't dare to use severe punishment.

But those lighter punishments were like no pain to this little Shunzi. He just cursed every day but couldn't say a word they wanted to hear.

Little Shunzi could delay, but they couldn't.

If they didn't get something out of Little Shunzi, they were afraid that if Chu Chengye blamed them, their fate would be no different from that of Little Shunzi.

The leading torturer kept the red-hot iron on the fire for a while, looked at it with satisfaction, and then put it in front of Xiao Shunzi, threateningly saying:

"This punishment of burning with iron is torture. Although the emperor wants to spare your life, using this small iron on you is no different from the punishment of burning with iron."

"I don't believe you can still be so stubborn at that time."
