The corner of Chu Yixuan's mouth quirked into a gentle smile, "It's already not bad enough. It's fortunate to have you by my side."

You're still talking about it! Xu Rouzhi felt a bit of guilt in her heart. If not for protecting him, she wouldn't have been poisoned by the black clothed man's poison right?

When did he get hit by an arrow, she didn't even notice?!

Lu Ming had already led his men to repair the carriage, and pulled out the arrows from the carriage.

Because he was a little exhausted, Chu Yixuan had already closed his eyes. But he still did not forget to call out to Xu Rouzhi: "Rou Zhiqiang, come sit beside me."

He actually asked her to be gentle! He immediately opened his mouth to call out such an unfamiliar name, as if he was already used to it.

On the other hand, Xu Rouzhi was not used to it, her face slightly flushed.

Sitting beside him, he gently took her hand. "If you don't mind, I'd like to sleep for a while."

"Sleep, sleep, I don't mind." Xu Rouzhi patted the back of his hand lightly as if she was comforting a child, and comforted him, "You will be back to Ji City very soon, rest assured!"

Chu Yixuan's eyelids lifted, but in the end, he still powerlessly closed his eyes.

Returning to the Ji City, Lu Ming quickly reported the matter of Chu Yixuan's assassination to the emperor. Not only did the emperor immediately dispatch all of the doctors in the imperial hospital to treat Chu Yixuan's injuries and dispel the poison, he also personally went to the Prince Qi Palace to visit his third prince.

This was the first time Xu Rouzhi had seen the Emperor, but even the real Xu Rouzhi had only seen him three times.

The first time was during the grand wedding, while the other two were during the annual feast.

During festivals, there would usually be people who needed to go to the palace to pay their respects. However, the emperor was too busy to see all of them. Thus, he could only do the same thing as last time and pay his respects to the empress dowager.

When the emperor arrived, Xu Rouzhi was still anxiously watching the imperial doctors rebandage Chu Yixuan's wound. The imperial doctors reprimanded: "Who treated the prince's wound? How can the poison still remain in the body? "

Ah, I …

Xu Rouzhi was stunned. Under such a cold day, if he did not bandage her after bleeding, would she let him come back naked? Lu Ming who was at the side was about to defend Xu Rouzhi, but Chu Yixuan who was on the bed opened his eyes with difficulty and said weakly: "I was the one who asked someone to bandage him."

When the imperial physician heard this, he didn't dare to say anything else and hastily said, "Your Highness should rest well. There aren't many remnants of the poison, and you'll recover soon enough."

Chu Yixuan forced himself to look at Xu Rouzhi. "Princess Hua-Yang is also tired, go back and rest!"

I didn't expect him to be like this, and still want to arrange things for her!

Xu Rouzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She silently looked at Chu Yixuan, and after knowing that Lu Ming was going to send her off, she waved her hands and said softly: "There's no need to send him off, just accompany him!"

She turned around and whispered to Chu Yixuan: "I'll come to see you later."

Chu Yixuan already closed his eyes, and nodded slightly. "Okay."

Bi Su was waiting for Xu Rouzhi outside the Safe House. Seeing that Xu Rouzhi had come out with her head lowered, Bi Su hurriedly went forward to support her. "If I had known earlier, there would be danger.

Thinking about being ambushed, Xu Rouzhi felt depressed in her heart. There was still a way to assassinate him in broad daylight, how could there still be a law in Dongluo?

"Princess, are you going to return to the Jinxiu House?"

"Okay, go back." Xu Rouzhi was distracted and suddenly asked Bi Su: "Did you receive any orders?"

Bi Su was startled: "No!"

Xu Rouzhi frowned: "Alright, let's go back first."

Before he could even lift his foot, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far away. Uncle Lin was bowing as he walked at the very front, saying, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Bi Su immediately pulled Xu Rouzhi along: "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

Xu Rouzhi quickly kneeled down: "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

The emperor, Chu Zhe, had a tall stature and a dignified expression on his face. His footsteps hurried, and he did not squint as he strode into the Safe House.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to care so much about our prince." Bi Su said in joy.

That's right!

Xu Rouzhi nodded and silently walked back to the Jinxiu House. She was still worried even though Chu Yixuan had not escaped from danger.

Not long after, the Uncle Lin sent a message, "Your majesty has summoned me.

When Bi Su heard it, she immediately asked worriedly, "Your Majesty wouldn't be blaming the wangfei yet, right?"

Bi Su had also heard about the matter of the imperial doctors blaming him for bandaging the wound.

The Uncle Lin smiled. "Princess, don't worry. His Majesty won't make things difficult for her."

Xu Rouzhi stood up: "Alright, I'll go over now."

In the main hall of the Prince Qi Palace, Xu Rouzhi gracefully paid her respects to her eunuch, and called out with a smile that was like flowers: "This son greets the Royal Father!"

The emperor, Chu Zhe, was sitting upright in the hall. When Xu Rouzhi called out "Royal Father", it caused Chu Zhe to raise his head and look at him. A rare smile appeared on his face as he gestured to the chair to the side: "Alright, sit!"

Xu Rouzhi half sat down obediently and said softly, "I never thought that Royal Father would be able to come visit us and exchange small talk with us every day."

Chu Zhe stared into Xu Rouzhi's eyes, and asked: "Today, you two are going out of the city together? "What is it?"

Uh, this … ~ I wonder if I've asked Lu Ming this question? If she was telling the truth, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

After thinking for a moment, Xu Rouzhi replied: "Returning to the Royal Father, Yi Xuan was originally planning to bring me to Lu Shan to meet a doctor, but who would have thought that halfway through, we would meet bad people. Yi Xuan is injured, so we can only return."

"You're going to Lu Shan?" Chu Zhe frowned.

"Un, Yi Xuan said that Lu Shan has a famous doctor whose medical skills are extremely high. I think he wants to see a doctor!" After all, the imperial physician would have some concerns when visiting patients, so the treatment plan is relatively conservative. This may not have much of an effect on the treatment of Yi Xuan. " Xu Rouzhi began to speak nonsense.

Chu Zhe muttered to himself: "These words are not without reason. — — What, has Yi Xuan gotten sick again recently?"

"Not really. It's just that his body isn't getting better. It might affect his mood a little!" Xu Rouzhi stood up, "Royal Father, those black clothed men were clearly here for the sake of exchanging pleasantries, their attacks were ruthless, the arrows were filled with poison, will Royal Father find out the identities of these bad people and punish them severely?"

"Of course!" Chu Zhe's face darkened, and said, "Lanqian, you dare to scheme against the prince, I will definitely investigate the truth and punish the culprit severely!"

"Then I am relieved!" Xu Rouzhi pouted, "There's actually someone under the Imperial City who dares to attack the Prince, from now on, we don't dare to go out carelessly!"

Chu Zhe's face darkened, "We will strengthen the guards of the Prince Qi's Palace, let's see who dares to go against you!"

"This subject is relieved!" Xu Rouzhi immediately knelt down, and said, "This subject will take his leave then!"

"Wait a minute!" Chu Zhe called out to her.

Uh, Xu Rouzhi didn't want to say anything more to her, her father-in-law. This emperor was indeed different, those eyes were too sharp, she was afraid of exposing her guilt! If she said something that she shouldn't have, wouldn't she be done for!

Blinking her eyes, Xu Rouzhi changed to a harmless smile: "I wonder what other instructions Royal Father has?"

Chu Zhe's tone became slightly gentler: "You don't have to be nervous, Royal Father still has something to ask you."

Xu Rouzhi hurriedly nodded her head: "Yes, yes, Royal Father asks!"

Chu Zhe looked at her for a long time, then asked: "Regarding the food, what do you think? "Why are you doing so well, suddenly coming to the rescue of the common people?"

Xu Rouzhi frantically knelt on the ground and immediately furrowed her brows: "Quickly help Princess Qi up!"

The eunuch who had been standing behind Chu Zhe immediately stepped forward to help him up. Chu Zhe said in an amiable tone, "We are only here to talk to you, not to hold you accountable. You do not need to panic."

Xu Rouzhi looked anxious and anxious: "Please forgive this son, son, this son, this son, but because I heard that this year's harvest was not good, and I spent all my money on myself every month, I thought it would be a pity, so I wanted to give some to the commoners. I thought that it would be a good thing, but I really didn't expect that the Duke would be pointed out and discussed by everyone …"

"Sigh!" Chu Zhe said with a stern face, "Food is a good thing, you don't have to bear such a heavy psychological burden. Sanlang has also told me, that the reason for the food relief is because you are kind-hearted, and I am very pleased. There are still people in our royal family who take the hardships of our people to heart, you did the right thing, don't worry. "

So the emperor actually called his third son Sanlang? It was a warm title.

"Really?" Xu Rouzhi revealed a joyous smile, "Let's greet him... And you even defended me? "

"Of course!" Chu Zhe smiled and said, "If he doesn't protect his own princess, then who should he protect?"

Xu Rouzhi lowered her head and smiled shyly, "But he wasn't like this to me before."

This was the real question Chu Zhe wanted to ask! He nodded his head, "I have also heard of his unkind treatment towards you and reprimanded him. I wonder how he came to regret it? "

The emperor really knew how to ask questions! Was this a test for her?

Thinking about what happened in the Prince Qi Palace, if she could not hide it from the Eastern Palace, how could she hide it from the Emperor?! Therefore, when Xu Rouzhi decided to speak the truth, she appeared to be magnanimous and natural.

"That …" Xu Rouzhi scratched the back of her head, blinking his eyes, "Maybe it's because I was previously timid and was afraid of him, so he didn't like me! Later on, I thought that if even my own husband didn't care about me, then who would care about me? Thus, I decided to give up all my courage and risk it all for myself. I have already died once, if I still can't keep my eyes open, then my life will have been in vain! "

Chu Zhe stroked his beard with a smile.

Xu Rouzhi looked at Chu Zhe and blinked her eyes, "Royal Father, are you really not planning to ask about my crimes?"

Chu Zhe looked surprised: "What are you guilty of?"

Xu Rouzhi said with a little guilty conscience, "In the past, the two lateral consort s in the Duke Palace didn't treat me well. When they tried to harm me later on, they exposed their own problems. Would the Royal Father blame me? "

Chu Zhe laughed loudly: "Why would Royal Father blame you? Sanlang has already reported to us about the matter between Su Le and Madam Sang. We know very well that it is not your fault, but it was enough to make you suffer.

"Royal Father, just don't blame me!" Xu Rouzhi said as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders, "To be honest, if it wasn't for them bullying me, I would have endured it. After all, I have endured for two years. However, don't worry Royal Father, I am not a jealous woman who loves to reject others. I plan to ask Royal Father to pass down the decree that you need to take in two more concubines for the Prince! "

Chu Zhe nodded: "Not bad, you are a smart child. However, Sanlang has already decided not to take any more concubines. "

"Huh?" Xu Rouzhi was startled.

Chu Zhe smiled and said, "Last time, when we were in Madam Su, he told us that the princess was a kind and virtuous person. He was determined to get along well with her and not take her in as his concubine.

Are you prepared to not take in another concubine and get along well with her? Chu Yixuan, he... Did he really say that?
