Chapter 9: Eating Chicken at Midnight
"Go check!" Those two short words were filled with immense anger. A dignified emperor, being made a fool of, losing all face, what a shame!
It's true that you don't know the pain until you're whipped. Chu Ci scorned him and shook his head secretly. He muttered quietly, "He's anxious, he's anxious."
But I forgot that I was so excited about watching the fun that I only took off my voice changer, but the loudspeaker was still on!
Therefore, after the words "Those who disrupt the destiny of the country shall be executed!", the people in the palace heard a teasing female voice, "He's anxious, anxious, he's anxious."
Who was this reckless person playing a prank in the palace? Several nobles were furious and vowed to find this person as quickly as possible and let the emperor see their abilities.
The emperor, on the other hand, was completely in contrast. Chu Ci's few words were like a sharp blade, piercing the emperor's heart. It was truly heartbreaking! Although he didn't mention anyone by name, Emperor Jian'an felt that his dignity as an emperor had been completely shattered!
Veins bulged on his hands, and his face was gloomy and terrifying to the extreme.
This, this, this. Is this what a eunuch like him should see?
Zhang Rang wished he could transform himself on the spot and find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Unfortunately, this operation was too high-level and practical. In the end, Zhang Rang was quick-witted. "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
Emperor Jian'an frowned, his eyes full of sinister intent: "Speak."
"As far as I know, the thefts in the capital began at the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. The damage to the Second Prince's Mansion was particularly severe, and the methods used in both thefts were quite similar."
"Marquis Pingyang? The one who married into the Fan family even though his daughter's wealth was confiscated?" The first generation of Marquis Pingyang was granted the title of marquis for his military merits. Unfortunately, his descendants were unfilial and had lived in peace for too long. They gradually forgot the glory of their ancestors, began to despise military affairs, and were bent on currying favor with the camp of civil officials.
Unfortunately, they were all so mediocre in talent and had little to show for their achievements that the emperor barely even remembered there was such a marquis in the court. His only memory? It was related to the Fan family.
"Yes, but the original engagement was with a fake daughter. The one who married into the Fan family was indeed the real daughter who had just been found a year ago. It is said that the real daughter admired Mr. Fan so she married him secretly."
Zhang Rang's words were a work of art. He didn't mention the role played by the Marquis of Pingyang, yet he emphasized his shamelessness. It was brilliant, truly brilliant. She loved it.
Chu Ci was about to leave, but stopped abruptly after hearing Zhang Rang's answer.
As expected, Emperor Jian'an did not disappoint her. "Second Prince? He is truly my good son. An Yi, go check."
Chu Ci's face was filled with excitement. The Emperor had taken action. Was the Second Prince about to be exposed? Unfortunately, her joy was a little premature. "An Er, keep an eye on the Fan family for me. If they make any unusual moves, kill them on the spot."
"You bastard emperor, it wasn't enough to exile us before, now you want to kill them all." Was the tragic plight of the Fan family in the original book also the work of the emperor?
Chu Ci was so angry that his teeth were itching. He wished he could send this dog emperor away just like he had sent away Tongxuan before.
No, no. The impact would be too great. And what if the Second Prince were to win in the end? Wouldn't she be making things easier for someone else? No, no.
But if Chu Ci doesn't let out this breath, he will explode.
After much deliberation, Chu Ci decided to vent his anger. He also wanted to save the emperor's life. Suddenly, he spotted an electric shock flashlight scattered on the floor of the space, grinned, and thrust it directly into Emperor Jian'an's butt.
Open, close! Open, close! I open it again, oh oh oh…
Chu Ci was happy, but Emperor Jian'an was very miserable!
If before it was Emperor Jian'an who was unilaterally executed, now, both the former court and the harem knew that the emperor had offended the gods and was punished!
Yay! This time I went to the palace, and the harvest was unexpectedly rich!
Gone, gone! Chu Ci, in a very good mood, left the palace as quietly as when he came.
It was just that he was in such a good mood that when he sat down, he made a little too much noise, and Fan Qianxue caught him red-handed. "Sister-in-law, what are you doing..."
Chu Ci was not in a hurry and smiled slightly, "Shh, I went to get some good things."
As he spoke, he took out a roast chicken that was still warm from the space.
Fan Qianxue's eyes almost popped out. She looked at Chu Ci in disbelief and stammered, "Sister-in-law, you, you, you can hunt? And make roast chicken?"
Chu Ci could say it, but she couldn't. However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it: "Well... don't worry about those details. Come on, eat a big chicken drumstick."
"Well..." Even though Fan Qianxue was pampered, she was a master of every aspect of lady's etiquette and manners. The principle of respecting elders was ingrained in her.
Even though he was almost drooling from greed, he still insisted: "Sister-in-law, you are the one who killed the chicken. You eat the chicken legs, and I will just eat the chicken wings. That's right, that's right..."
This little girl Fan Qianxue was indeed clever and smart. She had noticed the slightest hesitation during the day. Chu Ci secretly praised her in his heart!
Then he smiled slightly and said soothingly: "Qianxue, don't worry, the old man and the old lady will not be missing if no one is missing. I will ask your brother to send them over later."
Fan Qianxue hesitated to speak, but before she could open her mouth, a large chicken drumstick blocked her mouth. Chu Ci said with a smile, "Eat quickly, kid, don't think too much, or you won't grow taller."
Fan Qianxue blushed slightly. Although she knew Chu Ci was doing this for her own good, she still felt a little embarrassed. She could only eat in small bites.
Fan Jingrui watched from the side, feeling a little disappointed. He also wanted to eat the big chicken leg.
Unfortunately, Chu Ci ignored him and put the other chicken leg into his mouth without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui finally got anxious. "Chu... Madam, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep because I was too tired!"
"Haha!" Chu Ci chuckled, and the meaning of his words was self-evident: Do you think I believe it or not?
This was the first time in Fan Jingrui's life that he felt so embarrassed. He was extremely hungry, especially when he saw his cousin eating with such gusto. After a while, he finally mustered up the courage. "My wife, I'm hungry too."
I thought he could hold out for a while! Unexpectedly, he's quite flexible! Chu Ci secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw two roast chickens over and said, "Go and divide it among yourselves."
Hearing Chu Ci say this, Fan Jingrui knew he was being tricked, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he felt good and said thank you: "Thank you!"
Well, Chu Ci had to admit that sometimes smart people could be quite annoying and couldn't even pull off a prank.
Forget it, go to sleep. Tomorrow, her beloved donkey cart should be here, right? "On her beloved little motorcycle, there will be no traffic jam..."
Although donkeys have nothing to do with motorcycles, Chu Ci was still happy. Well, the spring evening breeze is a little chilly, and a blanket isn't enough, so a cushion will do!
It was warm and comfortable. With the little tune in his head, Chu Ci fell asleep unknowingly.
