Xu Rouzhi thought that as an emperor, Chu Zhe would definitely not lie to her about this! She couldn't help but laugh as she pursed his lips, "Cough, cough, actually, it's fine if I suffer a little …" You still have to think about the big picture! "

"No," Chu Zhe said in a stern voice. "For the past two years, because of our neglect and because of the insensible nature of the Sanlang, we have caused Princess Hua-Yang to suffer greatly. We believe that the same thing will never happen again!"

Xu Rouzhi was a little confused. What did that mean? Why would this eunuch, the emperor, make such a promise to her?

"Alright, I'm going back to the palace!" As if the emperor had finished speaking, he stood up happily, hands behind his back, and looked at her with a smile. "Look at Sanlang! "When he wakes up, he will be the first to see Princess Hua-Yang. He will definitely be overjoyed."

It ended just like that?

So, this time, the reason why Eunuch Emperor summoned her was to promote her relationship with Chu Yixuan?

Xu Rouzhi happily bent her knees, "Yes, this son respectfully greets Royal Father!"

— —

There were varying reactions to Chu Yixuan being shot with an arrow.

The East Palace was the first to receive this news. Chu Yizhao's face changed, his neat set of white teeth could not wait to be crushed! He punched the table fiercely, "I actually failed!" "How the hell do they do things?"

— — Crown’s Master Xu Chang was currently drinking tea in a secret room in the Gambling House. Manager Tong was accompanying him, chatting about random topics. Then, the Uncle Du quietly reported the matter of Chu Yixuan being injured by an arrow to Xu Chang. Xu Chang and Manager Tong were both startled as their expressions changed. Xu Chang sighed: "Your highness, you still won't be able to do it!"

— — Inside the Silk Cloth Villa in Noble Lane, upon hearing that Chu Yixuan had been assassinated, Su Leyao hurriedly asked: "How is it? Are there any casualties? "

"Yes, Prince Qi was injured by the arrow!"

"Ah?" Is the Prince severely injured? "

"His injuries seem to be severe. Along the way back, when he was unconscious, His Majesty sent all of the imperial doctors to the Prince Qi to treat his highness!"

Su Leyao was startled, "Then, where is that bitch Xu Rouzhi?"

"But... It seems to be safe and sound. "

"Why isn't she hurt?" Su Leyao was furious, "Why is the injured person not Xu Rouzhi? Why not her?! "

Sang Woruo exclaimed: "I never expected Eastern Palace to move so quickly!"

Su Leyao clenched her teeth: "What's the point of acting fast, they're not even dead yet, Chu Yizhao is just raising a bunch of trash!"

Sang Woruo pondered and said: "If we knew that they would face such a calamity today, we should have sent some people to help them! That way, at least we'll have an extra chance of winning! "

Su Leyao's anger had not faded as she smashed the table in hatred. Suddenly, she stood up in panic: "Not good!"

Sang Woruo was shocked: "What's wrong, sister?"

Su Leyao said anxiously: "Your Majesty loves and dotes on your highness. Your highness is injured, your highness will definitely investigate the truth and arrest the culprit! And since Eastern Palace failed this time, in order to dispel any suspicions of themselves, they would definitely find a scapegoat to take responsibility for this matter, don't you think? "

Sang Woruo was startled. "Yes … "It should be like this …"

"Then who do you think the East Palace will find as their scapegoat?"

"To whom?"

Su Leyao's face paled: "Right now, other than my Su Family, who else is most suitable to be the scapegoat for the Eastern Palace?"

Sang Woruo was also shocked: "Then what do we do, big sister?"

"No, I have to find Chu Yizhao!" Su Leyao turned and was about to rush out, but she was stopped by Sang Woruo:

"Elder sister, you're going to the East Palace? I can't accept this! "

"No," Su Leyao shook off Sang Woruo, "I want to go to Prince Qi Palace, and wait for Chu Yizhao!"

"Ai, elder sister …" Sang Woruo helplessly looked at Su Leyao's back, her Su Family collapsing, Su Leyao was going crazy! Going to the Prince Qi Palace to wait for Chu Yizhao, wasn't that courting death?

But, Su Leyao was not crazy. She believed that the crown prince had no choice but to visit her after seeing that something had happened to the Prince Qi in order to clear her of her suspicions. If she wanted to see Chu Yizhao, she could only use this chance!

After returning to the Safe House from the hall, Xu Rouzhi received a gift from the emperor — — two jade walls carved with exquisite carvings of dragons and phoenixes.

The Uncle Lin said, "Your Highness said that it was all thanks to Princess Consort taking care of her wounds in time, which delayed the onset of the poison's effects. His Majesty specially bestowed upon the mandarin ducks a set, wishing that Prince and Princess would mutually support each other and bring peace and beauty."

Xu Rouzhi was startled, she looked at Chu Yixuan, he really knew how to take the chance to help her obtain credit! Why?

Uncle Lin looked at the unconscious Chu Yixuan and quietly left.

Xu Rouzhi touched the jade wall, it felt really good! She held up the jade wall and scrutinized it. "The hell, what's the use of rewarding something like this? It'd be better to just reward it with silver."

"What are you saying?" Chu Yixuan said indifferently on the bed, "This jade wall is a symbol of power, it is much more valuable than silver."

"Huh?" Xu Rouzhi jumped in fright, quickly entering the jade wall, she looked at Chu Yixuan: "You're awake?"

"I was still unconscious, but when I heard your voice, I couldn't help but open my eyes." Chu Yixuan quietly looked at her, "So it turns out that not only did my wangfei acknowledge gold, he also didn't recognize the good stuff."

Xu Rouzhi blushed, and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, "After all, I haven't seen much of the world."

Chu Yixuan reached out his hand, and gently took the jade wall to look at it, "This is a pair. I never thought that Royal Father would think so highly of you, and actually give us this Lovers Wall. "

"Is that so?" Xu Rouzhi blinked her eyes, "In that case, Royal Father still thinks quite highly of you?"

Chu Yixuan frowned: "It's not like he's giving it to me."

Xu Rouzhi curled her lips: "Isn't this just for you and me? If it wasn't because they thought highly of you, why would they reward you to us? "

Chu Yixuan did not answer the question directly, "Royal Father and you talked for a long time, and you didn't make things difficult for me?"

"No!" I feel that Royal Father is someone easy to get along with! When I explained it to him, he believed me! "

Xu Rouzhi was very happy. She guessed that the original owner probably knew what kind of personality the emperor had, so she specifically emphasized how she came to an understanding after dying once, in order to resolve the doubt that the emperor had after seeing her change in her personality. Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't suspect at all.

Chu Yixuan frowned silently as he looked at Xu Rouzhi thoughtfully: "The attitude Royal Father has towards you, is it unexpected?"

Cough cough, of course Xu Rouzhi could not say that she was so capable, to actually be able to affect the Emperor's judgement. She tried to curry favor with him as she said, "I did not expect you to speak up for me in front of the Royal Father, I was really touched!"

Chu Yixuan wanted to say something but hesitated, and said indifferently: "It's good as long as you're happy."

Xu Rouzhi picked up the jade pair, and looked left and right: "This one that remember the dragon pattern is yours? The one with the Phoenix pattern is mine? "

"Yes."

"This size seems a little too small... How should I use it? "

"This is a pair of ornaments. Although it is small in size, it is carved from high-quality white jade from the Kunlun Mountains.

"It's worth a lot?" Xu Rouzhi blushed red. Well, she didn't really study jade much.

Chu Yixuan raised her own piece: "You guys don't have anything like that anymore?"

"Mm, there is. However, there aren't many people who truly understand jade. — There are a lot of counterfeit goods." she explained.

"Fake?" Chu Yixuan frowned, how could jade be fake?

Xu Rouzhi scratched the back of her head, "In our era, there were too many people. There were too many merchants who did not care about money or conscience, so there were all kinds of counterfeit goods."

Chu Yixuan nodded, looking like he understood.

"About that," Xu Rouzhi changed the subject, pointing to his wound, "Are you feeling better?"

Chu Yixuan laughed: "Actually it's not that serious, don't worry."

Xu Rouzhi was startled. "Just now … Are you pretending? "

Chu Yixuan lowered his eyelids, and a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I want to play dead."

"Pretend to be dead?" Xu Rouzhi was startled again.

"Yes." Then, they will bring you out of the Ji City, find a quiet place and try to live the Peach Blossom Life of a man and women. "

It can't be? Xu Rouzhi was stunned, "You are a prince, how can you let go of your honorable status?"

Chu Yixuan said indifferently, "I've lived for more than twenty years and I don't think I have ever lived for much longer. It was a stumbling block, however. He was worried that someone would kick him into smithereens at any moment. "

Uh, okay. Xu Rouzhi expressed that she could understand Chu Yixuan's thoughts. However, "I don't know much about men's farming and women's weaving."

Chu Yixuan raised his brows in shock: "At that time, you guys didn't even know about cultivated land?"

"There are people tipping the farmland, but weaving or something like that is a matter of the big factories. As a person, it's not going to happen."

Chu Yixuan was startled, "Err … In that case, if I were to go to your place, I'm afraid I would be a useless cripple. "

Xu Rouzhi never thought that Chu Yixuan would actually think of such a question, and couldn't help but feel that he was rather cute. She covered her mouth and snickered. "Me too."

Chu Yixuan laughed: "It's alright. You and me. "

"You still have me." This saying was also quite touching. Unknowingly, Xu Rouzhi felt that her relationship with Chu Yixuan was the same as her feelings towards him, changing nonstop, and in a very good direction at that. She felt a little uneasy, didn't she know that this was appropriate?!

"Hmm, then why didn't you feign death?" She went back to the subject.

"Because I seem to have discovered a secret." Chu Yixuan said.

Xu Rouzhi was startled: "What secret?"

Chu Yixuan smiled mysteriously: "Don't you think that the Royal Father has a special attitude towards you?

Xu Rouzhi was a little shocked: "What do you mean?"

Chu Yixuan slowly said, "In the past, Royal Father experienced many things before finally obtaining the throne. So do you think it's natural for someone who has gone through all sorts of calculations to easily believe your changes? "

Xu Rouzhi looked at Chu Yixuan in a daze: "You mean that he actually doesn't believe what I just said?"
