Chapter 457: Domineering CEO’s Declaration
"Of course, this is what Madam Chu is worried about." Xiao Jingfan pressed her head into his arms, "Now sleep peacefully."
【What can you, an emperor, talk to my mother about?】
Chu Liuzheng's head was full of questions and speculations, and he stared with his eyes wide open, unable to sleep at all.
Xiao Jingfan held the person in his arms and slowly fell asleep amidst the mumbling of his inner voice.
He found that as long as Chu Liuzheng didn't yell in his heart, the voice in his heart could help him sleep.
Chu Liuzheng had a lot of random thoughts in her mind. Maybe it was because the sandalwood was too soothing, or maybe it was because the breathing sounds beside her ears were too even. After tossing and turning for half the night, she finally felt sleepy. She buried her face in Xiao Jingfan's chest, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, after court was dismissed, Xiao Jingfan changed out of his court robes and went straight to Qingliang Palace.
Chu Liuzheng followed closely, and then... was locked outside the door.
Chu Yuxin was also locked outside the door.
Sisters: ???
"Sister, what does His Majesty want to say to Mother?"
Chu Liuzheng shook his head, "I don't know."
Seeing this, Chu Yuxin put her ear to the door to listen and muttered softly, "I can't hear anything."
[If someone is talking in the inner hall and someone can hear them at the door, then something strange is going on.]
Chu Liuzheng touched her little head and asked Chen Xing to take her to the Imperial Garden to play, while he himself stood guard at the door and paced back and forth, worried that the emperor's power was too great and would scare Bai.
【What on earth does the tyrant want to say to my mother? 】
She quietly opened the system, intending to rush in to save the situation as soon as anything went wrong.
[The tyrant told my mother...eh???]
She silently turned off the system and banged her head against the pillar twice.
Ahhhhhhhh!!!
In the chest, the heart was beating faster and faster, and the earlobes gradually turned pink.
[What kind of shameless, overbearing line is this from a bossy CEO?! I'd be surprised if my mom would be at ease with this! !]
[Tyrant, shut up! ! ]
She didn't dare to listen to what the emperor said, and she didn't dare to imagine what her mother's expression would be when she heard it.
I really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
A moment later, the palace door opened and the emperor in black robes walked out. He walked slowly to Chu Liuzheng's side and looked at her face.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[What are you looking at? You're interrupting my admiration of the exquisite carvings on the pillars!]
"Cough." Xiao Jingfan cleared his throat.
Chu Liuzheng kept his face straight and only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
Xiao Jingfan looked at her red ears, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Mrs. Chu is resting."
"Oh." Chu Liuzheng continued to smile.
Xiao Jingfan: "Aren't you going to ask what I said to Madam Chu?"
Chu Liuzheng: "What?"
Xiao Jingfan: "I'll tell you later."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Tsk, you're still keeping me in suspense. I already knew this, okay?]
Xiao Jingfan reached out and took her hand that was hanging by her side, and took her to Wenhua Hall.
His Majesty the Emperor has to rush back to review the memorials.
The heat on Chu Liuzheng's ears had not yet subsided, so he obediently followed him away.
She didn't want to go in and face Bai after hearing what she said, so she decided to hide for the time being.
From that day on, Bai's condition got better day by day. According to Qin Shu's judgment, three more acupuncture treatments would be enough to eradicate the root cause of the disease. After that, if he took some tonic medicine to recuperate his body, Bai would no longer experience dizziness.
Chu Liuzheng was in mixed mood.
What the hell, all the words she said were not as good as the tyrant's simple and rough declarations of a domineering boss. How is that?
If she had known earlier, she would... Well, she didn't expect the emperor to make such a promise in front of Bai, which was almost comparable to a wedding oath.
Xiao Jingfan specially rewarded two carts of tonics to be sent to the Chu Mansion in the north of the city.
Chu Qin and his son, Chu Shangming, still lived in the grocery store and had not yet moved into the large house in the north of the city. Chu Qin planned to wait until Bai recovered from her illness and left the palace, and then move in with the family to reunite and share in their joy.
Chu Shangming had no time to care. Ever since returning from Mengzhou, King Xiao had given him more and more tasks, and he was so busy that he had no time to rest all day long. He often slept in the Ministry of Revenue and had no time to go home.
I heard from King Xiao that he would have to go on a long journey in a few days, and these are the preparations before going.
Yan Chengtao had suffered enough from being away from home, and he asked for leave countless times from King Xiao, but was rejected every time. He simply skipped work, and ended up being spotted by King Rui.
Because he helped Chu Liuzheng leave the palace, Prince Rui was scolded by his royal brother. In a fit of anger, he ran out of the palace and lived there, strolling around the city every day. The embroidered handkerchiefs and purses he received could be used for several years, and he was very popular.
After hearing about this, Xiao Jingfan summoned Feng Jing for questioning. After Feng Jing repeatedly assured him that Prince Rui was in good health and needed adequate exercise, he decisively threw the job of enforcing the ban on brothels to his idle brother.
Wang Yushi was so happy that he had someone to support him. He visited the Rui Wang Mansion every day, and the Rui Wang's leisurely days were gone forever.
Censor Wang was too noisy and Prince Rui couldn't kick him out, so he had to go to the teahouse to find some peace and quiet.
Young Master Yan, who skipped work to resume his life of luxury, encountered Prince Rui. The two, eager to enjoy the luxury of idleness, instantly hit it off, offering each other advice, and then... Yan Chengtao was tricked by Prince Rui.
When Yan Chengtao was being packed up and taken away by King Xiao himself, he was filled with grief and indignation, howling like a wolf, and was about to rush up and take a few bites of King Rui.
Prince Rui, who had cheated someone, was in a good mood. He could continue to listen to the nagging of the Censor Wang and help his royal brother with some things.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the grocery store or Chu Qin.
He was alone in the grocery store, looking forward to his wife, daughter and son coming home every day. If Xiao Wu hadn't come over to drink with him from time to time, he would have probably turned into a stone.
Just when everyone was busy with their own things, the little prince was brought back to the palace.
The four-year-old child, nicknamed Tang Ge'er, was well-bred. He was a chubby little girl, inheriting the best features of his parents: big eyes, a small nose, and a small mouth. Wrapped in red brocade, he looked especially adorable.
As soon as Tang Ge'er came back, he was sent to Wenhua Hall. Because the emperor was summoning ministers, he was first sent to a side hall to be looked after by Chu Liuzheng.
The child was crying because of hunger. Chu Liuzheng quickly asked someone to heat up a pot of goat milk and watched him drink with his hands on his cheeks.
This kid is not afraid of strangers. When facing a group of strangers, he doesn't cry or make a fuss. He is surprisingly well-behaved.
Chu Liuzheng touched the kid's chubby cheeks with the back of his finger, and it felt like touching tender tofu, so he didn't dare to use any force.
Tang Ge'er grinned at her, his eyes black and white, like a clear spring.
[With parents who want to rebel, I wonder what the tyrant uncle will do with this child. After all, I brought him back with so much trouble, so he should be able to survive, right?]
[Yin Lanci is a Gu player. Although this doll looks normal, it's still best to check it out.]
She ordered, "Chen Xing, go and get Doctor Feng."
Chen Xing responded and went out, while Chu Liuzheng opened the system and started searching.
[It's said that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Yin Lanci wouldn't be so heartless as to conduct some outrageous Gu-worm experiment on his own son, right?]
[Hmm...it's been a while, I need to scroll forward.]
[Sugar Brother, Sugar Brother, Sugar Brother... It should start from here, and then...]
