"Hehe, you are quite forgetful, Chu thief."
Xiao Ling's face looked extremely unhappy, and he just stared at the person in front of him.
"You forgot, back in Anyang City, you secretly plundered 10 million taels of silver. I never held you accountable for inciting the refugees to revolt..."
Chu Yi: “…”
Damn it, I was careless.
It was obvious that he was thinking about the boast that Anyang Cheng had made in front of "Chen Tang". At that time, he never thought that this situation would arise today because of such a trivial matter.
It would be unreasonable not to pay the money now.
Give it to me, I feel inexplicably reluctant.
Seeing that he didn't give a reply for a long time, Xiao Ling continued:
"Chu thief, I have no intention of pursuing you for your past corruption. I know I can never get it back, but this time the court is in trouble, and I really need you to find a solution. You've sucked so much blood, it's time to let go a little."
Hearing this, Chu Yi's expression eased slightly.
Seeing the resolute attitude of the little empress in front of him, he also took a step forward and stood in front of Xiao Ling.
"After all, we are facing a foreign enemy. It's perfectly acceptable for me to contribute some of the money. However... since I have contributed the money, shouldn't Your Majesty personally repay me a small amount of the interest?"
Chu Yi's words were very bold. From the meaningful look in his eyes, Xiao Ling knew without even thinking that the Chu thief was definitely not a good person.
She blushed and spat, "Pooh..."
"Chu thief, you are truly shameless! All the evil things you have done were embezzled from me. Now I am only asking you to pay a small amount of money for military pay, and you still dare to bargain, asking me to thank you and give you interest. You are such a traitor!"
This reprimand made Chu Yi feel a little embarrassed.
Although what the little empress said was completely reasonable, who is he?
He is a treacherous villain in the court and not a good person. Does he need to explain himself to the empress?
Clearly not wanting to suffer any loss, Chu Yi snorted coldly and retorted with very shameless words:
"If your majesty thinks so, then I will treat you as a traitor and rebel."
"Really? You still dare to rebel? Well, you can try it. I am also very tired of being the emperor."
Xiao Ling became even more angry when he heard this, and could not help but continue to scold:
"Even if you rebel and become emperor, you still have to fight this war. By then, I'm afraid the holes you have to fill will be even greater than if you didn't rebel!"
Chu Yi: “…”
have to!
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong.
Okay, now he won’t dare to rebel easily, although he just said it on purpose to annoy the little empress in front of him.
But even though he was convinced, after hearing Xiao Ling's criticism, Chu Yi felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the imperial study, he simply took a step closer and pulled the empress up from the dragon throne.
Then, he whispered in Xiao Ling's ear in a very bewitching tone:
"Your Majesty, what you just said really makes me feel a little indebted..."
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a day. I'm afraid the scar has healed and the pain has faded. Tonight, I will show you what it means to be a minister and a leader!"
What does it mean that the minister is the leader of the monarch?
Such outrageous remarks actually came directly out of Chu Yi's mouth.
Xiao Ling was also a little overwhelmed by Chu Zei's sudden and bold behavior, but she soon forced herself to remain calm.
"Hmph, you wish for it. I will not let you, a traitor, succeed!"
Seeing her stubborn nature, Chu Yi smiled, and the strong desire to conquer in his heart became stronger.
He couldn't help but pat Xiao Ling's shoulder solemnly, "Your Majesty, please wait for me in the palace tonight."
…
All affairs in the court finally returned to their original track.
Under the organization of the Ministry of Rites, preparations for the Spring Examination began.
Chu Yi's work was relatively easy. He seemed to be very free for the past few days. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would sleep on the dragon bed at night. His life was quite comfortable.
According to the current intimacy between the two, the fact that Xiao Ling is the empress will not be kept secret for long. Therefore, Chu Yi did not deliberately conceal these things, but was very generous in doing what he should do.
But within a few days, there were already some bad comments outside.
That day, when Xiao Ling woke up, he looked outside. The warm sunlight shone through the west window of the bedroom, casting a golden glow.
Originally, the emperor and his minister were discussing government affairs seriously in the Purple Palace, but they ended up arguing again because of a slight disagreement.
When it comes to national affairs, Xiao Ling has always been quite opinionated. Even though she knows Chu Yi won't fool her, she still sticks to her own decisions.
This made Chu Yi very dissatisfied. In the end, without saying a word, he carried her back to the bedroom and gave her a severe scolding.
After finishing, the two went to bed together. Looking out the window, it was already evening.
Xiao Ling turned over and climbed onto Chu Zei's body, then stared at him with a pair of eyes full of love.
Chu Yi took advantage of the situation and pressed his hands on her waist, preventing her from moving. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Chu Yi, today is the Lantern Festival. Have you prepared any gifts for me?"
Xiao Ling's gaze was pure and full of anticipation.
She remembered that the last time Chu Zei gave her a gift was the last time.
That gift was stolen from my own palace by the Chu thief, and then given to me...
This sentence made Chu Yi's brain crash.
