In the palace.
After Chen Jingxi left, her actions also reached the emperor's ears.
After hearing this, the emperor was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Chen Qiyuan's daughter is quite capable."
The black-clad man kneeling in the middle of the hall couldn't help but agree in his heart upon hearing this. This Princess Su was more than capable; she was simply heaven-awful. Leading the charge of beating her parents in the street was, in the eyes of ordinary people, a heinous crime worthy of public execution.
The man in black raised his head and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what should we do next? Should we send someone to stop the people's behavior?"
The emperor shook his head slightly and said, "No need. Just deal with the rest of the matter."
"What about Minister Chen?" the man in black asked again.
The emperor sneered and said, "If Chen Qiyuan knows what's good for him, he should step down. Otherwise, hum..."
The man in black was startled when he heard this and quickly lowered his head and said, "I understand."
"Go down."
As soon as the man in black left, the prefect of Jingzhao asked for a meeting outside the palace.
"Xuan."
Upon receiving the summons, the Jingzhao prefect practically ran, breathlessly before the emperor. The purpose of his visit was because the Chen family had reported him to the authorities, forcing him to come before the emperor to seek his advice.
Before, the people were making trouble in Prince Su's Mansion, but he didn't send anyone there. Now Princess Su is trying to shift the blame and send the people to the Minister of Rites' Mansion, and they have reported it to the authorities. Should he send troops to arrest them?
A new official has three things to do when he takes office. He can't let the first thing he does get himself burned, so he can only come to ask for an audience with the emperor.
It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken. As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor's face darkened. "Do I have to decide on such a trivial matter? What use do I have for officials like you?"
Before he finished speaking, the Jingzhao prefect had already fallen to his knees in fear, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my crime, I know my crime..."
The emperor shouted angrily: "Get out!"
The prefect of Jingzhao didn't dare say another word and stumbled out. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was out of the palace and wiped his sweat off his forehead.
He looked back at the towering palace and sighed inwardly. What should he do? Should he send someone to capture Chen Fu, or not? He was really worried to death.
Just as he was lost in thought, Jiang Hai came towards him. The prefect of Jingzhao hurried over to greet him and respectfully called out, "Eunuch Jiang."
Jiang Hai wore a warm smile on his face and said, "It's Master Liu. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet. How rude of you."
The Jingzhao prefect hurriedly waved his hands and said repeatedly, "I dare not, I dare not."
Then, he pulled Jiang Hai aside and whispered, "Eunuch Jiang, I have a favor to ask of you."
As he spoke, he took out a silver note from his sleeve and quietly put it into Jiang Hai's hand.
Jiang Hai smiled slightly, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He gently patted the back of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor's hand and said, "Master Liu, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. We will do our best to help you."
These words were like a reassurance, which made the Jingzhao prefect relax a little.
After listening to the Jingzhao prefect's story, Jiang Hai said with a smile: "Lord Liu can now sit on the position of Jingzhao prefect, thanks to Princess Su."
The Jingzhao prefect was stunned and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean, eunuch?"
Jiang Hai smiled and said, "I don't know anything, I'm just saying it casually. Goodbye, Lord Liu." After that, he turned and left.
The Jingzhao prefect pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized. Although Jiang Hai's words were vague, their meaning was very clear: the emperor didn't want to take care of this matter?
The reason why he was able to sit on the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor was indeed because of Princess Su.
Afterwards, the prefect of Jingzhao fell from the steps in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and fell into a coma.
After the emperor received the news, he shook his head and laughed: "He is a man who can see clearly."
——
In Prince Su’s Mansion.
Chen Jingxi snuggled up to Chu Jinghuai and told him everything that had just happened. Chu Jinghuai listened quietly, his hands not idle, massaging her.
Chen Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "It would be a shame if you don't open a blind massage parlor with your skills."
Chu Jinghuai heard this and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Princess, do you want me to serve others?
"Uh... forget it."
As she spoke, she grabbed Chu Jinghuai's hand. His palm was very broad, his fingers were long, and his joints were distinct. Although his palm had some calluses from years of holding weapons, it was not rough.
Not only does she have a pretty face, but her hands are also so pretty that they don't work at all for someone like her with chubby hands.
"Your hands are so beautiful." Chen Jingxi praised sincerely, "If you were in our time, you would definitely be an excellent hand model."
Chu Jinghuai asked curiously, "What does a hand model mean?"
"It's a job that makes money using your hands." Chen Jingxi was too lazy to explain too much and just said it simply.
Chu Jinghuai listened, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he whispered in her ear: "I only wish to use these hands of mine on the princess."
Chen Jingxi's face flushed instantly. She thought of the hands roaming on her body on the bed, which brought her waves of tingling sensations. In addition, he laughed softly in her ear, which made her feel itchy. Her body couldn't help but...
Chu Jinghuai looked at her like this, with a smile on his lips and a fiery look in his eyes, and his hand quietly reached into her clothes...
The two were blushing and their hearts were beating fast, but they were interrupted by a voice: "Prince, it's not good, it's not good..."
Chen Jingxi shuddered and quickly pushed Chu Jinghuai away. She sat up and straightened her clothes, while glaring at him with a look of shyness and dissatisfaction.
Chu Jinghuai smiled lazily, looking quite innocent.
