Chapter 48 A Very Important Thing

After a long time, Emperor Chengwen suddenly said, "I agree to your request."

After saying this, Emperor Chengwen turned and left.

King Dingbei stood there for a while and then walked away.

Chu Ran turned around, stood with his back against the solid stone wall, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I don't understand what happened just now, at least the matter of Li Fu leaving Beijing should be settled and set in stone.

Next, just wait for news from Li Fu.

When we returned to the banquet, the emperor had already left.

Chu Ran went out only to use the toilet and did not stay there for too long. He came back in a hurry. Even so, he did not see Emperor Chengwen. It can be seen that Emperor Chengwen did not stay in the side hall for too long.

Chu Ran asked the maid beside him in a low voice. The maid whispered to Chu Ran that when the emperor came in just now, his face didn't look good and he left after staying for a short while.

Today is Emperor Chengwen's birthday banquet, and Emperor Chengwen should be happy, but he suddenly looked unhappy. Chu Ran guessed that it was related to what King Dingbei said.

However, although the concubines in the harem say that they like the emperor, love the emperor and want the emperor to be with them, when the emperor is not around, they are all happier and more comfortable than anyone else.

Eat when you should, drink when you should, be happy when you should, nothing is left out.

After the banquet, it was already very late, and Concubine Li asked Chu Ran to go back and rest directly without going back to Qiluan Palace with her.

Chu Ran had also been standing for a whole day. Now his back and waist ached, and his legs and feet were sore. He wished he could just lie down on the ground.

When Concubine Li let him go, Chu Ran felt as if he had been pardoned. He said goodbye respectfully, but his heart had already flown back to his hard bed.

After seeing off Concubine Li, Chu Ran put his hand behind his back, stroking his aching neck, and walked down the stairs. Before he had taken a few steps, someone called out from behind, "Chu Qinglin."

Chu Ran turned his head, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the person on the steps.

After staring at the other person for a long time, maybe because it was too dark or something else, Chu Ran could barely recognize that this was his good brother, the protagonist of the book, Chu Siqian.

This should be their second meeting. It has been more than half a year since their first meeting. No wonder Chu Ran almost forgot about him.

Chu Siqian was able to enter the palace today, so he must have come with his father.

I just don't know why he called me?

Chu Siqian took two steps forward. He stood at the very top and looked down at Chu Ran who was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

In short, his expression was very unfriendly.

"What?"

Having seen the other party's face of saying one thing in front of him and another behind his back, Chu Ran knew that this person was also a hypocrite. He was too lazy to deal with such a person, not to mention that he was in a hurry to go back to bed, so his tone was very impatient.

"You are helping the tyrants to commit atrocities and are an accomplice to the evil. You are turning your elbow outward. Do you deserve your father's hard work and high expectations for you over the years?"

Chu Ran:?

What bullshit is he talking about.

Chu Siqian seemed not to have seen Chu Ran's expression, and was thinking about Chu Ran, "The reason why my father sent you to the palace was to help your aunt, but you didn't care about your father's painstaking efforts and turned to Qiluan Palace. Are you worthy of your father by doing this?"

"No." Chu Ran looked at Chu Siqian in surprise, wondering if this guy had something wrong with his brain.

"When I was very young, your father sent me to the palace to be a eunuch. Why should I thank him?"

Chu Siqian's face turned red with anger. "You are so treasonous. What do you mean your father? He is also your father!"

"Oh, really?" Chu Ran said expressionlessly, "But as far as I know, I have not been included in your Chu family's genealogy since I was born, so I should not be considered your father's son."

"You——" Chu Siqian was speechless, and finally shouted in a low voice: "At least your father gave birth to you, and the grace of giving birth to you is greater than heaven! You are repaying kindness with hatred!"

"Oh." Chu Ran said, "So what?"

Chu Siqian was startled, "So what?"

"So I am what you said, repaying kindness with enmity, aiding and abetting the evil, and being an accomplice to the tiger. And then what?"

Chu Siqian was so angry at Chu Ran's self-righteous words that his face turned red. After a while, he held back a word, "You have no shame!"

"Yes, I am shameless." Chu Ran nodded, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving."

"you--"

Chu Siqian pointed at Chu Ran with trembling fingers. He had never seen anyone as shameless and without any sense of propriety as Chu Ran.

Seeing that he really couldn't come up with anything more insulting, Chu Ran turned around, waved his hand with his back to Chu Siqian, and left with a dashing back.

At night, lying on the bed, Chu Ran had closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but in an instant, Chu Ran suddenly woke up and sat up in the dark.

He was drowsy and about to fall asleep when something suddenly popped into his mind.

Something he almost overlooked, but was very important.

He lifted the quilt and was about to go look for someone, but then he remembered that Li Fu had already left the palace, but Uncle Xing was still there. The only person he could find in the palace was Uncle Xing.

But it's too late to go find Uncle Xing now.

Forget it, let’s go early tomorrow morning.

Chu Ran thought so, then lay back down again and covered himself with the quilt.

Before going on duty in the morning, Chu Ran went to the Firewood and Charcoal Department.

It just so happened that Uncle Xing was sent out, so Chu Ran didn't meet Uncle Xing. He just asked someone to pass a message to Uncle Xing on his behalf, saying that if Uncle Xing came back, he should come to Qiluan Palace, saying that he had something important to tell him.

More than an hour later, Xing Ji came back from outside. The eunuch conveyed the original words to Xing Ji. Xing Ji put down the work in his hands and went to Qiluan Palace.

Chu Ran heard that Xing Ji was waiting for him outside, so he said something to Li Dingning and went out.

"Uncle Xing."

Chu Ran looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, he grabbed Xing Ji's arm and pulled him to a secluded corner.

Xing Ji gestured to Chu Ran a few times. After being with Xing Ji for a long time, Chu Ran could roughly understand what Xing Ji meant by the gestures.

"Everything is ready. The master said that he will take you out of the palace in ten days."

Chu Ran's eyes sparkled. He grabbed Xing Ji's arm and unconsciously used force because he was too excited. "Is it true? Did the Fourth Prince tell you this?"

Xing Ji nodded.

Chu Ran couldn't help laughing.

God finally had eyes, and he had finally waited for this day.

After laughing, Chu Ran grabbed Xing Ji's arm again, and this time, the force was even greater than before.

"Uncle Xing, listen to me. Next, you must tell the Fourth Prince exactly what I said. This matter is very important. You must tell the Fourth Prince."

Chu Ran looked serious and solemn, and Uncle Xing nodded quickly.

Chu Ran leaned close to Xing Ji's ear and whispered a few words to him.

Xing Ji's eyes gradually widened and he looked at Chu Ran in shock.
