Chapter 202 Letter
Even the emperor, who was high above and at the pinnacle of power, could not actually have the final say.
"Accurate!" The emperor, who appeared calm and composed on the surface, was secretly groaning inwardly, thinking to himself, "Golden words? I'm probably the most slapped-in-the-face emperor in history!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" The old uncle and the old clan leader had undoubtedly won the battle.
But the more they were in such a situation, the more pious and respectful they appeared, and the more respectful they became, holding the emperor high as if he were the supreme being.
Despite this, all the court officials present knew very well that in this invisible game, the emperor was already the loser.
Because of this, each of these court officials became more cautious than before. They exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes were full of caution and vigilance, as if they were afraid that they would get into trouble if they were not careful.
After the purple-robed envoy finished describing the events in the court, he slowly asked, "Take care on your journey to the capital."
There was a hint of concern and seriousness in his eyes, as if he was full of worry and expectation for the person who was about to go to the capital.
It's a pity that I ran into Chu Ci who didn't play by the rules. "If I leave like this, then does that mean I don't have to play along with Su Jinghua?"
As soon as Chu Ci said this, the extremely serious atmosphere was completely dissipated in an instant.
Fan Qianxi was worried that Chu Ci would offend the Purple Envoy, so he said anxiously and a little panickedly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. The Purple Envoy will naturally make proper arrangements. Don't act so impulsively. Just follow the Purple Envoy's instructions."
Chu Ci understood Fan Qianxi's feelings at the moment very well, so she did not refute Fan Qianxi's words, but turned her head slightly and cast her gaze at the purple-robed envoy not far away.
The purple-robed envoy looked solemn. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "We'll discuss this matter later."
Hearing the Purple-Robed Envoy's words, the three Fan sisters exchanged glances, understanding each other's intentions. They then said in unison, "The pumpkin feast is almost ready. Sister-in-law, please go to the dining room first."
After hearing this, Chu Ci did not refute, but just nodded slightly with a calm expression. Then she gracefully made a gesture of invitation to the purple-robed envoy, then turned around and slowly left with light but firm steps.
Her movements seemed neither hurried nor slow, just right, and while Zi Yishi appeared calm and composed on the surface, she was frantically trying to find a way out of herself.
But no matter what excuse you come up with, it's always just an excuse in the end.
Therefore, these thoughts only flashed through his mind quickly, and then he decisively rejected them.
When he finally spoke, he didn't hold anything back. "The best way to keep Su Jinghua in check is to hand over the sea salt production process without reservation."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci stared at the purple-robed envoy for a long time, then slowly said, "Was this your idea, or was it the will of the higher-ups?"
"The meaning of the above." The purple-robed envoy knew Chu Ci's temperament very well, so he did not dare to hide anything.
However, when replying, the Purple-Robed Envoy had a guilty expression. After all, the Emperor had sought his opinion before making these decisions.
In fact, Chu Ci had anticipated this. She paused for a moment, then said, "I agree, but the Purple Envoy must also agree to one condition of mine."
"You said that as long as it is possible, I will try my best to do it." The purple-robed envoy was unusually easy to talk to at this time.
Chu Ci didn't hesitate at all and went straight to the point, "Purple Envoy, you should know that someone came to see me some time ago. I hope you can report their contributions truthfully."
Her eyes were firm and serious, and it was obvious that she took this matter very seriously.
As soon as Chu Ci said this, the Purple Envoy's face was filled with shock. He asked in disbelief, "Is that all?"
"That's all." Chu Ci answered very affirmatively and solemnly, without any hesitation or delay.
However, it was this simple request that made Zi Yishi feel even more guilty. He had originally thought that Chu Ci would put forward some very harsh or difficult-to-achieve conditions.
But I didn't expect it was just such a seemingly ordinary request.
This made him feel even more guilty towards Chu Ci. This feeling of guilt continued to spread in his heart, making his expression more and more complicated.
After a while, the Purple Envoy's expression became extremely solemn. He straightened his body and promised in all seriousness, "I will keep my word and live up to the princess's trust."
This was the first time in such a long time that the Purple Envoy revealed his real name so clearly.
From this, we can also see how much Chu Ci's behavior and request this time touched the Purple-Robed Envoy, so much so that he broke his usual obscurity and reservation and made such a solemn promise with his truest side.
Chu Ci knew that the other party had misunderstood him, but he did not explain.
After reaching an agreement with the Purple Envoy, she returned to her room and began making future plans for the "Future Women's College" and "Women's Premarital Training".
After all, this trip to Beijing is full of unknown variables. She needs to plan ahead and make arrangements in advance to deal with various situations, and be prepared for the things that matter to her so that they can be carried out and promoted smoothly.
When you immerse yourself in doing something, time passes by very quickly without you noticing.
It was not until the knock on the door sounded again that Chu Ci looked up and suddenly realized that the sky had darkened unnoticed.
The people outside, who hadn't received a timely response, began to speak more and more hurriedly. At the same time, along with the knocks on the door, there were anxious shouts: "Sister-in-law, are you in there? Sister-in-law!"
It was Qianxue's voice that came.
Chu Ci quickly put aside what he was thinking about and responded hastily: "It's Qianxue, come in."
With a creaking sound, the door was slowly pushed open. Qianxue walked in quickly with a letter in her hand, a hint of joy on her face as she said, "Sister-in-law, there's a letter from my eldest brother."
Chu Ci's eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked, "Is this the only one?"
"There's another one, it's addressed to my eldest sister and us, so my eldest sister asked me to ask my sister-in-law if she wants to go over and read the letter together."
In front of Chu Ci, Qianxue always looks like that lively and lovely little girl.
However, nothing that needed to be made clear was left out, and the whole story was explained in a very clear and organized manner.
