CHAPTER 21 - DON'T DISTURB
After entering the bedchamber, Zhuo Qinglin's eyeballs had almost popped out of their sockets. She couldn't understand how a fool could get such good treatment.
When she turned around and angrily glared at Zhuo Qingfan who was playing with her, she realized that the clothes she was wearing and the hair she was wearing were the best at the moment. She wanted to get them, but she couldn't; this made her even more furious and jealous.
And her expression, was seen by Ruo Xue. At the same time, everyone became cautious.
Zhu Xin, who was standing beside Zhuo Qinglin, saw her thoughts, stuck her head out, and whispered into her ear: "Miss, of course I can't make her so pleased with herself. This servant has a way to make her suffer a fate worse than death!"
"Hm!" Be careful, this is the prince's mansion, do not let anyone discover it. I want to see how long she can continue to be proud of herself. Right, didn't mother say that after she passes through the mansion, she will be poisoned? "Why does it look like nothing has happened to her?" Zhuo Qinglin glanced at her.
Zhu Xin shook her head: "That Doctor Qi's medicine, it might not be easy to use, it's fine, I still have some here … …"
The two master and servant were plotting to harm others, but Ye Feng, who was hiding on the roof beam, was already helplessly rolling his eyes, silently cursing in his heart: Idiot, you want to be bad at Ling Mansion, you really don't need to think of it. Even if you aren't in a strict place like bedchamber, even if you are in a remote corner of the palace, they won't be able to do what they want.
When Zhuo Qingfan, who was sitting in the courtyard under the wooden porch, took out a piece of Ga La Ha from his bosom, Zhuo Qingyan's candid laughter could be heard all over the bedchamber.
The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth rose up. "So, it turns out that Qing Yan likes this kind of thing …"
"Reporting to Your Highness, this is something my Little Four has played around with since childhood, I like it the most …" Zhuo Qingfan respectfully said.
"Second brother is the best …" Zhuo Qingyan put her hands on his face and kissed him.
Zhuo Qingfan caressed her head naturally with a doting look in his eyes.
However, Chu Yi Chen's gaze turned cold, and his heart was in disarray.
"Second brother, I'll take you over there to play. There are bugs …" Zhuo Qingyan pointed at the back hall in the yard.
"Alright!" Zhuo Qingfan understood that she had something to say to him, so he naturally held her hand and led her to the back of the hall.
Chu Yi Chen wanted to follow along, but was stopped by Zhuo Baiyuan: "Prince has treated my Little Four so well, this official is truly grateful, but this time, I still have one more request, I hope Master Wang will allow me some time, can we talk about it in detail?"
"What is it?" "Let's talk here. There are no outsiders …" As Chu Yi Chen spoke, he turned around and sat on the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard. He had no intention of leaving.
Zhuo Baiyuan was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement, but he had no other choice. This place was not his residence, and furthermore, he had come to ask the Ling Wang.
Zhuo Baiyuan also did not dare to sit down. He could only stand there respectfully and say, "This official's father-in-law sent news yesterday, passing by Kang Yang County …"
"Oh? Kang Yang County? " Chu Yi Chen said softly.
"That's right, the Kang Yang County's County Governor, Hou Guangsheng, is this official's father-in-law …" Zhuo Baiyuan pursed his lips in sadness, and tried to squeeze out a few tears, but to no avail.
"Is Minister Zhuo going to go to mourning? Then just take the leave of absence from His Majesty, there's no need to tell this prince. " Chu Yi Chen deliberately misunderstood his meaning.
Zhuo Baiyuan was immediately stunned, and Hauptverwaltungsgebaude, who was standing beside him, immediately reached out to pinch him, as his face turned stiff.
However, when Chu Yi Chen saw this, her gaze became much colder.
"This official also received news that two older uncles were involved in the case. Yesterday, His Majesty ordered us to escort them to the capital. I hope that the prince can help out …" Zhuo Baiyuan immediately smirked.
"What case?" And even brought two senior officials of the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude inside? " Chu Yi Chen asked.
"I heard …" Yes... The case of the seller's dereliction of duty is widespread. The entire Kang Yang County, as well as the western Jiaguan County … " Zhuo Baiyuan said with difficulty.
"Oh? Then your two uncles have quite a bit of power … What kind of official positions are they in? " Chu Yi Chen asked with interest.
"My brother, Hou Jinxiang, is a third rank official in the Kang Yang County. Second brother, Hou Yucheng is also a third rank official in the Jiaguan County …" Hauptverwaltungsgebaude was pleased and immediately spoke out.
Ruo Yan immediately brought over a cup of tea and took a sip, "It looks like there really is an opportunity for you to sell yourself an official. The conditions to amass some ill-gotten wealth are still very ripe …"
Hearing that, Zhuo Baiyuan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, followed by Hauptverwaltungsgebaude and Zhuo Qingping who followed behind him.
"Your highness, please look it up …" "Although these two are bros of this official, Kang Yang County and Jiaguan County are very far away from the capital. Originally, this official did not have much contact with them, so what they did has nothing to do with this official …"
Zhuo Qingping followed, "Yes … "Your Highness, my father really won't get involved in this case. I hope Your Highness can investigate this clearly …"
Hearing that, the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude was displeased, he immediately extended his hand and punched Zhuo Baiyuan: "Old master, what is the meaning of this, are you not going to save my brother?"
"Madam!" This is the prince's mansion, you can't be rash! " Zhuo Baiyuan wished that he could strangle this woman to death, to not be able to understand the situation.
Chu Yi Chen snorted, "Alright, Minister Zhuo, all of you get up. Today, we are here to visit the Little Four, so there is no need to discuss these matters in the imperial court. Furthermore, even if I understand the whole story, I will not take the case to heart, so speaking about it is useless!"
"Your highness is wrong. Your highness is a pillar of the kingdom, a cornerstone of the kingdom. If Your highness can say a word or two to Your highness, then your highness can also save the lives of your two uncles. I hope Your highness can help me speak up for the sake of the marriage between the two families …" Zhuo Baiyuan reached out and grabbed the corner of his robe.
However, this action of his caused Chu Yi Chen to frown in disgust. She forcefully pulled back her foot, pulling the horn out of his hand.
"Minister Zhuo, don't say that This King didn't remind you. This King hates people from the imperial court the most right now. You should know about This King's current situation too. Don't look for trouble." Chu Yi Chen's voice was extremely cold.
Zhuo Baiyuan could not help but close his eyes, how could he have forgotten about this after all these years? He was now a useless king.
Zhuo Baiyuan was truly worthy of being a person who wandered around in the imperial court. Her smooth and smooth movements naturally had its own unique features, as he immediately stood up and bowed to him, "Prince, please calm your anger, it was this official who was inconsiderate. Today he is here to see you, there is no other reason, there is no other reason."
Hauptverwaltungsgebaude, who was at the side, wanted to speak, but was stopped by a warning look from him.
Chu Yi Chen didn't pay any more attention to the three of them, and leisurely drank some tea, but his gaze was looking in the direction of the rear hall.
As the conversation was bustling, Zhuo Qingyan and Zhuo Qingfan, who were watching the bugs under a tree in the rear of the hall, were also not idle either.
