Mu Chenyi looked at Chujiu quietly: "Chujiu, it's not that I don't want you anymore, it's that I can't accommodate you here. Do you still remember what we looked like when we were at our lowest point?"
In recent years, I have always been the most powerful one. Even Su Wuzheng does not dare to compete with me, so there are many people who curry favor with me.
Seeing that there was no effect with them, they turned their attention to the people around them. As everyone knew, Yu Lingling had never been very popular with them, so they set their sights on Chujiu who had always been by their side.
Because Chujiu and he had always shared hardships, in Mu Chenyi's eyes Chujiu was almost like his own younger brother.
So he never said anything.
But things are different now. Ayu is back. Chujiu used to talk nonsense in front of Ayu. Now that Ayu is back, if Chujiu is still like this, I am afraid his life will be in danger.
And I may not be able to protect him. He doesn’t even know his own fate, let alone Chujiu?
Mu Chenyi looked at Chujiu. Chujiu didn’t understand why his grandfather said this?
Aren't they no longer in that era now?
I am the Prime Minister now, even the emperor has to listen to me, so what am I afraid of?
Or is there anything in this world that I am afraid of?
Mu Chenyi didn't say anything and walked tiredly into his room. He threw himself on the bed and looked at the green bed curtains. Suddenly, he felt that he couldn't do anything right.
When Ayu was with him, he was at his purest. In order to please her, he would copy books for seven days and seven nights and buy her a beautiful hairpin.
He would also queue up for her in the middle of the night just to buy her her favorite cakes from the shop in the east of the city.
But later it was he who ordered people to strangle her with white silk and leave her body exposed in the wilderness. In the end, he never found her body and could only build a cenotaph for her.
The spirit tablet he carved with his own hands was also forced to be burned.
When Chujiu came in, he saw Mu Chenyi like this.
He walked to Mu Chenyi, placed a basin of hot water under his feet, took off his boots, put his feet in the water, and rubbed them gently.
Mu Chenyi closed his eyes, and his cold feet were stimulated by the warmth, which made him feel very comfortable.
Chujiu suddenly spoke: "Chujiu knows everything about today. I will behave well from now on. Don't worry about me. I will make amends for my sins."
Mu Chenyi was stunned, and suddenly realized that he had been kneeling outside the imperial study for so long, and the rumors must have spread everywhere.
Chujiu slowly rolled up his trouser legs and picked up a bottle of ointment to apply on him. He saw that his knees had turned black and purple and were swollen very badly, looking very miserable.
Mu Chenyi felt the coolness of the ointment on his body and smiled bitterly. When did he end up in such a situation?
As Chujiu applied the medicine, he said helplessly, "Sir, you are such a fool! His Majesty ordered you to kneel, so you could have put on a few more layers of clothes. Why did you just kneel on the bluestone? Look at your legs. If you keep doing this for too long, they will become useless."
Mu Chenyi didn't say anything. If he really acted as sneaky and cunning as Chujiu said, Ayu would be even more intolerant of him.
At this moment, Lin Yushu was sitting on the dragon throne, and kneeling at the foot of the steps was the current wife of the Prime Minister, and the former daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Lingling.
However, since the death of the previous emperor's prince, Prime Minister Yu was implicated, sentenced to death, and his entire family was exiled. Now, only Yu Lingling is left in the capital.
Lin Yushu looked down at Yu Lingling: "Mrs. Mu, when you told me in front of me that you were going to marry Mu Chenyi, did you ever think about today?"
Yu Lingling smiled bitterly: "If I had known what would happen today, I would not have married him."
She really liked Mu Chenyi back then. He was wearing a red robe and looked very noble and handsome against the backdrop of the second and third place winners.
Although Tanhua is good-looking, he is a married man with children after all. Moreover, he is over 30 years old and can't compare with Mu Chenyi's youthful vigor.
She fell in love with him at first sight, even though she knew he had a lover, but that person was just a lowly prostitute, and being a concubine to the number one scholar was an insult to him.
She didn't believe that he, the daughter of the prime minister, would reject her.
This is an opportunity that comes right to your doorstep.
This was indeed the case. Mu Chenyi agreed to propose marriage, but Lin Yushu's lowly Hua Niang died in the countryside and completely disappeared from this world. Even her body could not be found.
But now, she appeared in front of her in a different attitude, and now she no longer liked the high-spirited top scholar.
After her father died, she was forced to perform the concubine's duties in front of Lin Yushu's tablet, and visit him every morning and evening without any slackness, otherwise she would be severely punished by Mu Chenyi.
He even placed Lin Yushu's tablet in her bedroom.
Her children were also forced to call Lin Yushu's tablet "mother" and to worship her during every festival without any slackness.
Since Mu Chenyi liked Lin Yushu so much at the beginning, why did he marry herself?
Isn't it for power?
Lin Yushu smiled and said, "I can let you divorce, but after the divorce you have to come and become my subordinate."
Yu Lingling stared at her with wide eyes: "Do you want me to serve you?"
It's not that she couldn't understand what Lin Yushu meant, but she really couldn't believe it. The fact that Lin Yushu became the emperor was already extremely shocking. If she herself was not a human being, all the officials would not let her get the throne so easily because they were afraid of her.
