Chapter 245 The most painful thing in the world

Fu Ping returned to the study room and saw the emperor's eyebrows slightly raised. Fu Ping bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed Concubine Duan."

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Bribing the ministers has made her so bold."

Fu Ping carefully looked at his face and guessed his thoughts. Although he sounded impatient, he did not have much intention of punishing him. He thought, "Your Majesty, Concubine Duan is also thinking about the princess. After all, she is her own daughter. How can parents not consider their own children?" The emperor

turned the jade ring in his hand, his face unhappy.

Fuping went on to add fuel to the fire: "Although Concubine Duan's behavior was a bit out of line, there are reasons for it. Your Majesty..."

"Enough," the emperor interrupted him coldly: "The princess has poor moral character, and Concubine Duan, as her biological mother, cannot escape the blame. Pass the decree down that Concubine Duan's words and deeds were inappropriate, she attempted to interfere in government affairs, and did not educate the princess wholeheartedly. Therefore, she was demoted to Zhaoyi, stripped of her title, and imprisoned in Yilan Palace to reflect on her mistakes."

Fuping was secretly delighted, and a flash of hostility passed through the emperor's eyes.

"And you, put away your thoughts, do you really think I don't know what you are thinking?"

Fuping was shocked and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, what I said is all from the heart, there is absolutely no false intention, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, I'm too lazy to listen to you say this, call Chaoen."

Fuping nodded repeatedly, stood up and bowed, and left the study.

After leaving the study, the panic in his eyes disappeared for the most part. The emperor clearly noticed his intention, but did not punish him. It seems that the emperor's heart is not so simple, so he wants to let Concubine Duan go.

Fuping waved a dust whisk in his hand.

"Master," the eunuch saw him standing in front of the door and ran over quickly.

"You've come just in time. The emperor is calling for Chaoen. Where is he?"

"I haven't seen him today," the eunuch shook his head.

Never seen him...

Fuping lowered his eyes slightly and was about to speak when he heard hurried footsteps.

He looked up and saw Chaoen.

"Eunuch Fuping." Chaoen walked to the front and bowed to him.

Fuping pursed his lips and said, "The emperor is calling you to serve. Be careful."

Chaoen nodded repeatedly and walked into Yu's study.

The young eunuch looked at his back and clicked his tongue, "How come he caught the emperor's eye?"

Fuping frowned and said nothing. The young eunuch looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He leaned over to Fuping's ear and whispered, "Master, do you remember the last time we heard that this man was bad for you, so we secretly caught him, warned him, and threw him into the lotus pond? We saw him die when we threw him in, but we never expected that he would crawl out not long after!"

His voice was a bit eerie, as if he was deliberately creating an atmosphere.

Fuping's men turned the dust whisk around and hit him hard on the head with the wooden pole: "Speak properly."

The young eunuch covered his head in pain and stopped being mysterious. He spoke very quickly: "Master, this Chao En is sinister. Every time I pass by him, I feel a chill. I suspect..."

Fuping hit him hard on the head again: "Are you going to die? I don't want to hear such weird words from your mouth again!" The

young eunuch covered his head and looked at him pitifully.

Fuping's eyes were full of gloom.

Even if he is really a ghost, so what? If there is a ghost, aren't there enough wronged souls in this palace? Even if he dies and becomes a ghost, how powerful can he be?

...

The next morning, the Qintian Supervisor presented the auspicious time he had chosen. The emperor did not even look at it and said, "Just follow this. Tell the Minister of Works that if time is tight, there is no need to make a big fuss. Just keep it simple."

The Qintian Supervisor nodded in agreement.

The emperor flipped through the book in his hand, and Fuping stood beside him with a puzzled look in his eyes.

The books in the palace were all beautifully bound. Such crude craftsmanship did not look like something from the palace.

It seems like...

Before he could figure it out, he heard the eunuch outside the room shouting, "Mr. Jiang Shidu wants to see you

." The emperor froze while turning the pages of the book, then closed it and put it aside. He hesitated for a moment, then added a few memorials on top of it. Seeing that the book was pressed tightly, he nodded with satisfaction, "Announce."

Jiang Zhiyu entered the room and bowed.

"Sit down and talk," the emperor chuckled, and Fuping also hurried over to pour her tea. Jiang Zhiyu took it and drank a few sips.

The emperor's eyes were full of smiles: "Why do you have time to come here today?"

Because of printing books, the Hanlin Academy made a lot of money. Now, all the Hanlin scholars don't even go to the Imperial College anymore, and they all stay in the printing factory.

But now, almost everyone in Shengjing has a copy of this book. Seeing that the money in the account is getting less and less, the Hanlin scholars can't help but get anxious and pester Jiang Zhiyu to write another story.

Logically, she should be very busy now.

Jiang Zhiyu pursed her lips: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time. I miss you so much."

[Once, there was an easy job in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it when I lost it. This is the most painful thing in the world.]

Emperor: "...Puff."

Jiang Zhiyu's tone of life and her face made the emperor feel strange and couldn't help laughing.

Sensing Jiang Zhiyu's suspicious gaze, the emperor explained, "I just couldn't help but feel happy when I thought about the princess' upcoming wedding."

Qintianjian Chief: "???"

When they were discussing the princess's marriage just now, he didn't see the emperor looking happy at all!

When it comes to arranged marriage, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

[Isn't this just a random match? If you want to arrange a marriage, you should investigate first. The Third Assistant Minister and Miss Xu are in love with each other, but you have turned a pair of lovers into enemies because of what you did.]

[What a sin.]

The emperor: "..."

He just pointed to someone casually, who knew that he had someone in his heart.

Although the emperor now only has annoyance towards Xiao Qingwu, Xiao Qingwu still has the title of a princess, and her identity cannot be made public. After knowing the truth, the emperor weighed the pros and cons and chose the most appropriate way - a marriage. On the

one hand, it can stabilize Concubine Duan and let her think that he knows about the two brothers and sisters. Long Yan is furious, but this anger will disappear sooner or later, and she will not act rashly. He also has enough time to find out the truth of the year and how many people are involved.

On the other hand, it can also stimulate Xiao Siyuan. If he wants to come back to stop it as soon as possible, he will spend more energy on the battle of Wala. Jiang Kangan took three years at the time. With Xiao Siyuan's qualifications, I am afraid it will take several times longer.
