But it was obvious that Chu Yi's words were no longer effective, and Xiao Ling remained indifferent.
The sobbing made him feel inexplicably irritated.
“That’s enough!”
Being soft didn't work, so Chu Yi simply became serious again.
He grabbed Xiao Ling's collar and lifted up her whole body.
"You're still going on and on. Do you really think I don't have a temper?"
"If you were obedient, you might not have to suffer any physical pain."
Meeting Chu Yi's gaze, Xiao Ling felt inexplicably timid again.
Especially since Chu Yi seemed to be planning to torture her, she felt a little nervous.
"Chu thief, you..."
As soon as she said that, Chu Yi interrupted her again.
"Don't bother. I don't want to hear your explanation."
As he said this, he let go of Xiao Ling again. Xiao Ling was not careful for a moment and almost fell to the ground.
"Zizhuo, send someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her get away."
After giving instructions, Chu Yi left the room.
Outside the house, the master and servant were walking on the road. Xu Zizhuo still felt that it was outrageous that his eldest master could predict the future.
“Sir, how come you can tell at a glance that Miss Shen must be your Majesty’s person?”
Because he didn't understand, he couldn't help but ask.
Chu Yi glanced at him sideways and asked, "If you were the young emperor, would you send an assassin who wanted to kill you to your enemy?"
Xu Zizhuo quickly shook his head.
Even a fool knows that you have to root out the grass when you cut it. There is no reason to believe that the assassin is acting as your spy.
"But the emperor should understand such a simple truth, so how could he do such a thing?"
"this……"
Chu Yi didn't seem to understand it either, but he didn't analyze it too much.
"I don't understand either. The little emperor's thoughts are sometimes really hard to guess."
"Sir, are you going to see His Majesty now?"
"No need, it's getting late. Even if Chen Tang is indeed the young emperor's man, the emperor will deny it. There's no point in going to see him now."
"By the way," Chu Yi thought of what happened this morning and glanced at Xu Zizhuo beside him. "I asked you to investigate her background. Is there any problem?"
"At that time, only three clans of Lord Shen were implicated. Lord Shen does have a illegitimate granddaughter alive, but whether she is Lord Shen's granddaughter or not, I can't find out so quickly. More information... maybe the Ministry of Revenue can get the details?"
Xu Zizhuo explained in a few words in a polite manner. When Chu Yi heard it, he couldn't help but kick him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I need you to go to the Ministry of Revenue to check the household registration for such a trivial matter? Don't you know that the Ministry of Revenue is not on good terms with me?"
"I really have no choice. Elder Shen's granddaughter was only a few years old at the time. Who knows what she looked like? Moreover, the Shen family was implicated. In fact, even the Ministry of Household Affairs may not be able to find out the household registration for such a matter."
Xu Zizhuo grumbled about the grievance in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still felt that Lord Chu was very concerned about this matter.
He couldn't help but carefully asked, "Then...if you don't know whether what Miss Shen said is true or not, how do you plan to deal with Miss Shen?"
"...After all, she is the little emperor's person. If she cannot be subdued, then kill her." Chu Yi decided.
Xu Zizhuo immediately understood.
It seems that the adults still have a plan.
Otherwise, he would have probably directly ordered the disposal of Miss Shen.
…
Temporary palace.
Just when Yuzhu thought she had nothing to do today, Mu Ci suddenly came outside to ask for a meeting.
Facing the confidant favored by His Majesty, she was still a little afraid that she would make some mistakes, but now that she was replacing His Majesty's role, she could only do everything according to His Majesty's usual way.
"His Majesty!"
"The Heavenly Guards have been making moves in Anyang City recently, and they discovered something unusual in the city this afternoon."
Mu Ci looked serious as he came in, and presented the information in his hand.
Yuzhu took the information and lowered her head to pretend to read it.
Mu Ci then explained:
"In the past few days, Anyang City Guard Yu Song Jilong has been in private contact with some people dressed as refugees. These refugees are clearly disguised, and there are many places outside the city where refugees dressed in similar attire are moving around strangely. I initially suspect that this may be related to forces within the court."
She explained it very seriously, and Yuzhu was also horrified when she saw the information in her hand.
Rong Yuzhu had no choice but to panic, because according to the intelligence, the defender of Anyang City was colluding with the forces in the court and obviously had some bad intentions.
As for who these forces are in the court?
Anyway, she could only think of one in her subconscious mind.
It was the Minister of Personnel Chu Yi.
Anyang is the eastern capital of An State, less than two hundred miles away from Changlian Mountain where Your Majesty is conducting the autumn hunt. If there is really something going on behind Chu Yi's back, then it is obvious that the target is most likely the emperor in the palace.
After thinking for a while, Yu Zhu asked, "Is this matter related to the Chu family?"
Mu Ci then shook his head. "There is no evidence yet, but if Chu Yi wanted to attack Your Majesty during the Autumn Hunt, he would not show up in person, at least for now."
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the Heavenly Guards to arrest Song Jilong?"
This matter was of great importance, and Yuzhu was unable to make a decision for a moment. It took her a long time before she waved her hand.
"...No need... I'll think about it first and discuss it later. The Heavenly Guards will keep an eye on Anyang for now."
Hearing this, Mu Ci was a little surprised that His Majesty would be so hesitant about this matter, but he didn't think much about it and left soon.
