Is he so self-blaming just because he broke his promise?

She knew that he had failed in his mission for the emperor, but she also felt a little resentful in her heart.

It can be seen that he is feeling very guilty and uncomfortable at the moment, and those slight complaints have disappeared.

Ruan Xinchen said: "It's okay, I understand you, I don't blame you, I know you didn't mean it."

Chu Xuanche was stunned, "You don't blame me?"

Ruan Xinchen nodded, "I don't blame you. I don't even want to go to the Ruan family, so it's okay if you don't go."

"So... you understand me?"

"Yes, I understand." The emperor's order is hard to disobey, so why wouldn't she understand?

If people don't go to work now, at most their wages will be deducted, and at worst they will just quit their job.

If you don't want to work here, it's not as simple as having your salary deducted. Why doesn't she understand?

"Don't worry, I will try my best to control myself and find a way to change this situation."

He could explain it to her seriously and tell her that she thought he was fine.

Ruan Xinchen nodded repeatedly and comforted him not to blame himself too much.

No wonder he looked so daunted this time when he came back. It turned out that he felt sorry for breaking the promise.

…

Princess Gong came to Cuiyuan, looked at Chu Xuanche with a serious expression, and kept sighing.

Chu Xuanche raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Princess Gong then spoke, "The Queen Mother sent someone to tell me to bring Xiao Ling into the palace. What do you think we should do?"

Chu Xuanche paused and said, "Tell the person who comes that he can't go."

"I know, but it's useless. The Queen Mother must see Xiao Ling. Xiao Che, can you... think of a solution?"

Ruan Xinchen looked terrified. The Queen Mother insisted on seeing Chu Xuanling. She was afraid that the news of the Ruan family affair had spread out.

Chu Li's mother was the niece of the Queen Mother, and she died after giving birth to Chu Li.

The Queen Mother brought him back to her palace to raise him personally, and protected him like the apple of her eye since he was a child.

If the Queen Mother knew that Chu Xuanling beat him so hard that his nose was bleeding, she would definitely cause trouble for Chu Xuanling.

But this matter was caused by her.

This made her nervous and scared, so she carefully carried the tea tray over.

"Mother, have some tea."

Princess Gong nodded slightly, indicating that she should leave it alone and that she would not drink it.

She kept looking at Chu Xuanche, asking him to find a solution.

Judging from Princess Gong's expression, she doesn't know about those things yet.

Ruan Xinchen hesitated to speak, wanting to confess, but a little scared, not afraid.

Looking at Chu Xuanche again, he didn't even blink and kept writing quickly.

Silence is the Diamond Sutra.

Tao Te Ching, Diamond Sutra, the book about ghosts and monsters, etc.

She didn't understand why Chu Xuanche was interested in these things.

He could recite it word for word without even looking at it, which showed that he had memorized it thoroughly.

"I can't help you. You have to solve it yourself."

Princess Gong looked helpless. "If I could solve it myself, why would I come to you? Xiao Che..."

“It’s no use looking for me.” Chu Xuanche couldn’t write any more and threw the pen into the pen holder impatiently. The ink splattered all over the table and there were a few drops on the paper, ruining his good handwriting.

"Why don't you just tell her the truth."

"How can this be? She has been disgusted with our family since she came here, and she always finds fault with us. If it weren't for you, the Emperor..."

"Why are you telling me all this?" Chu Xuanche interrupted her impatiently, "This is not okay, that is not okay, so what about me?"

Ruan Xinchen and Princess Gong were both stunned by his roar.

Ruan Xinchen thought: No, that's all. Why is he so angry, and at his mother at that?

Princess Gong held back her temper, took a deep breath and said, "I hope you can dress up as a little elf and come with me to see what the old woman wants to do."

"What should we do?" Chu Xuanche sneered, "Do you know why they want to see him?"

"This..." Yes, looking back and asking without knowing is also a problem.

Princess Gong looked worried.

Chu Xuanche said sarcastically, "You asked me to go when you know nothing. Why don't you go and find out what trouble he has gotten into first?"

"I don't think he's ever been out, how can I know where he got into trouble?"

Chu Xuanche laughed sarcastically again, "If he's not causing any trouble, why would they ask him to do anything? Invite him for tea?"

Princess Gong: “…”

Things have come to this point, Ruan Xinchen can no longer remain silent.

She raised her hand and said weakly, "I might know what's going on."

Um?

Princess Gong and Chu Xuanche both looked at her.

Ruan Xin curled her lips awkwardly, took a deep breath, and said resignedly, "Maybe... it has something to do with me."

"Is it related to you?" Princess Gong asked in surprise.

Ruan Xinchen nodded and told the story of Chu Xuanling secretly climbing over the wall to Ruan's house and having a conflict with Chu Li, beating him so hard that his nose was bleeding.

Of course, what needs to be said is said, but Chu Li’s crazy words angered Chu Xuanling, so she didn’t say it out loud.

Princess Gong felt mixed emotions after hearing this.

Chu Xuanche frowned and asked her, "How did they conflict?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”He’s finally here.

"I don't know." She asked in a low voice.

"you do not know?"

Chu Xuanche looked at her with eagle-like eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Ruan Xinchen's face turned pale.

Princess Gong said, "Okay, Xiao Ling is in trouble, why are you glaring at Xin Chen? Alas! Xiao Ling has a bad temper, it's not the first time he hits someone, every time he goes out, he always gets into trouble. It seems that the Queen Mother wants to see Xiao Ling, most likely because of this. Xiao Che, come with me to the palace."

"Okay." Chu Xuanche smiled coldly and agreed directly.

Looking at his expression, Ruan Xinchen had a bad feeling.

Especially when he left, the look he gave her seemed unfathomable.

…

Chu Xuanche followed Princess Gong into the palace, and Ruan Xinchen was always worried.

I don't know how the Queen Mother found out about that.

As for Chu Li going to the Queen Mother to complain, she felt it was impossible.

Chu Li is not that kind of person.

After waiting so anxiously for half an hour, someone came to the palace again and said that Ruan Xinchen was invited to enter the palace as well.

Well, no one can escape.

That's good, it's better to go to the palace and take a look than to stay in the palace and worry about it.

Ruan Xinchen changed into a formal palace dress and entered the palace with the eunuch who came to pick her up.

This was the second time she entered the palace in her life.

When she reached the palace gate, she got off the sedan chair and followed the eunuch on foot to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

When she arrived, she saw that the house was full of people.

Except for the Empress Dowager, Princess Gong, and Chu Xuanche who were sitting above.

There was also Chu Li sitting in a wheelchair, and Ruan Yihe standing behind him with a gloating look on her face.

Is the Queen here too?

"Xin Chen pays respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress."

The Queen Mother glanced at her coldly, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

She stayed in this position for a long time before she became impatient and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

When the Queen Mother is around, the Queen has no say.

Ruan Xinchen retreated to the side of Princess Gong and Chu Xuanche.
