Chen Qianchen, Chen Zhi and Chen Yunmu said goodbye to Pei Linye one after another.

The four of them were talking and laughing, and a harmonious atmosphere naturally lingers around them, as close as a family.

In a small alley not far away, a sinister gaze shot out from the shadows, staring at Chen Qianchen and the others tightly, as if they were going to kill someone.

For Chu Lingxiao, the scene in front of him was really too eye-catching.

His hands were clenched into fists, his heart was filled with turmoil, and he was angry, embarrassed, hated, and shame.

He stood motionless, watching Pei Linye ride away, his face getting darker and darker.

Pei Linye's back quickly disappeared at the corner in front of him. Chen Zhi withdrew her gaze and began to call Chen Qianchen and Chen Yunmu into the room.

When Jiang Yuan walked at the end, he looked at the alley where Chu Lingxiao was located through the gap between the two doors, and then she turned around.

Jiang Yuan quickly walked to Chen Qianchen's side and said softly in a voice that only they could hear: "Princess, Chu Lingxiao is hiding in an alley outside."

Chen Qianchen was not surprised at all, and he didn't even move his eyes and eyebrows. After all, she was guessing that the gangster who cut the door was Chu Lingxiao's instructor behind the scenes. Now that Chu Lingxiao appears here, it is just to verify her guess.

In front, Chen Zhi didn't pay attention to Chen Qianchen. She was scolding her son and told him not to rush around when he walked, saying that he would punish him to copy scriptures when he saw him like this in the future.

When Chen Yunmu heard about copying scriptures, he became depressed, like a dejected little puppy.

He also tried to discuss with Chen Zhi: "Mom, can't you punish me for staging horses? staging horses is also very bitter!"

Chen Yunmu felt that copying those scriptures that looked like heavenly books was even more tormenting than stances!

"No!" Chen Zhi vetoed it, not giving the naughty child any room for discussion.

Chen Qianchen was amused and laughed out loud, not reassuring a clown like Chu Lingxiao.

After the gate of Chen's house closed, Chu Lingxiao in the alley outside turned out, and the lame leg was so snatched by some passers-by.

Chu Lingxiao was wearing a royal blue flowing water dark pattern lake silk, with a ribbon tied around his waist, a purse and jade pendant, dressed up as if he was standing there motionless, looking handsome and upright.

His eyes were like a knife to cut into the scarred red lacquer door, and his sinister eyes formed a sharp contrast with his glamorous appearance.

The scenes of Pei Linye attacking him here clearly appeared in his heart, just like yesterday.

Since then, he has been thinking about this incident repeatedly, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and there seems to be a thorn in his heart repeatedly pricking him.

He had been married to Chen Zhi for fifteen years, and he had never liked Chen Zhi. This woman was arrogant and looked down on him as a husband. Their marriage was not something he asked for.

When Chen Zhi proposed to leave him, Chu Lingxiao felt ashamed and annoyed, thinking that he was not something that Chen Zhi could summon him and whisper, but on the other hand, he felt happy that he could finally get rid of this woman!

He was waiting to see the miserable days after Chen Zhi and his family. Chen Zhi brought a son and a daughter. Even if he had the Duke's Mansion, he would not be able to marry a good family again. He would either marry a dilapidated house far away or keep his pride for the rest of his life.

He was waiting for Chen Zhi to regret it in the future, but he didn't expect that he would see Pei Linye and Chen Zhi be with him that day. Pei Linye clearly fell in love with Chen Zhi.

At that moment, Chu Lingxiao felt like the world was collapsing.

Pei Linye was only 30 years old and was already the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei. He had a backer and military achievements, had a bright future, and had never married a wife! He actually fell in love with Chen Zhi?!

Chu Lingxiao still feels incredible when he thinks about it, but at the same time, his heart is empty.

The servant behind saw Chu Lingxiao staring at the gate of Chen’s house fiercely and said carefully: “Master, don’t worry. I have told the gangster that I will not involve you.”

The servant thought Chu Lingxiao was worried that the gangster would pull him out.

Chu Lingxiao walked one step closer to the direction of Shen House as if he had not heard of it, and another step forward.

Last night, he found Xiaoxiao to make trouble here, hoping to use a hero to save the beauty, and to scare Chen Zhi. So today he came to comfort her again. After a while, Chen Zhi could feel his goodness.

They were originally husband and wife, and they were married for a long time. Chen Zhi could not have had any old love for him. He wanted to completely kill the little signs of her and Pei Linye.

Unexpectedly, his plan was to make wedding clothes for others!

When he thought of Pei Linye's kindness to Chen Zhi just now, and when he thought of his biological son being held in his arms by Pei Linye, Chu Lingxiao felt a burst of anger burning in his heart.

Even a man can't stand it!

The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he felt that his head was green.

A burst of anger burned his reason to burn out.

Suddenly, Chu Lingxiao rushed towards Chen Zui, like a mad cow rushing around.

Today he insisted that Chen Zhi give him an explanation and let her explain clearly in front of her son what is the relationship between her and Pei Linye?!

Chu Lingxiao's eyes were burned red by anger, and he picked up his fist and wanted to pound the door full of knife marks...

However, at this moment, several yamen members flocked to each other, and two of them grabbed Chu Lingxiao and acted rudely.

"What's the thing?! I dare to make trouble in the capital in the blue sky and sun!" The tall and mighty troupe looked at Chu Lingxiao with a proud tone and kicked him directly, "What do you think this is? The people living here are not ordinary people, but cousins ​​of the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei! Are you brave enough to come here to make trouble!"

The two yamen officials let go of Chu Lingxiao, so Chu Lingxiao staggered and fell to the ground with a lame leg.

One of the yamen servants even spat him contemptuously: "What's the matter?! I won't leave yet!"

Of course, Chu Lingxiao didn't want to go to Jingzhao Mansion. If he was really taken to Jingzhao Mansion by these yamen, then he would be a joke all over the capital.

"Master!" At this time, the servant hurried over and whispered to the several yamen servants to make accusations. Then, he helped Chu Lingxiao up from the ground and said in a low voice, "Master, we'd better go back."

Chu Lingxiao stood up in a daze, and then walked back in a daze, absent-minded.

It was not until this moment that he had a sense of reality. Although his and Shen Zhi and Li Shu were not signed by him by himself, this is already a fact.

Chu Lingxiao walked forward aimlessly, his eyes stagnant, and even the sound of the servant calling him from behind could not be heard in his ears.

The streets of the capital are as lively as before. While the people are making a living, they are inevitably talking all kinds of gossip. The most popular topic recently is probably the emperor's dragon body.

Three or four students walked past Chu Lingxiao with sighs. A young man in green said with a sad face: "The official family was ill in the first month of the year. Until now, the morning court has not yet begun."

"Yes." Another blue-clothed juren was also in a low mood and echoed, "I heard from friends from our country's Zijian that the government is not ill this time and is not very optimistic. Alas, I don't know if this year's spring examination will be postponed?"

For students, the spring exam is an opportunity once a year. Once they miss it, they have to wait three years later. This is too expensive, especially those poor students traveling thousands of miles to Beijing to take the exam, which is enough to crush a family.

"It's hard to say." There was also a slinger wearing a lake-colored, shaking the folding fan, meaningful, "Even if I missed this spring, maybe there would be Enko next year."

His words were almost said that if the new emperor ascended the throne, he would definitely be able to be enthroned.

Several other students also heard it, their expressions were different, some were shocked and suspicious, some were worried about the country and the people, and some were struggling for their stay or leave.

The disciples were talking a lot, but Chu Lingxiao all turned a deaf ear and continued to walk forward.

Not only were the students discussing privately, but the court officials, nobles and the people were also speculating that the emperor had been ill for too long and had attracted the attention of many people.

Indeed, since the emperor fell ill during the Chinese New Year, he has never been ill and has never shown up again. In the past two months, the morning court has been suspended, and the government affairs are presided over by the crown prince.

In addition, the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were all worried and almost lived in the palace, which was equivalent to indirectly verifying that the emperor's situation was not optimistic.

It was not until March 16 that the first morning court after the New Year was reopened.

The civil and military officials of the court gathered in the Golden Palace again, and the emperor arrived at the throne for a long time, and was still as high as before.

The civil and military officials below were secretly looking at the emperor. The emperor's face was extremely haggard, his cheeks were sunken, and even the dragon robe appeared empty, listless and dull. He looked like he had not recovered from the serious illness, as if he would faint in the next moment. Not only did he feel relieved, but he was even more worried.

Soon, some court officials began to report one after another, but they did not dare to say something big, for fear of causing trouble for the emperor and causing the crime of angering the dragon body.

Even so, the emperor did not last long. He could not hold on until halfway through the morning court and he could not hold on anymore and ordered Eunuch Ni to let the ministers scatter.

"I respectfully send you to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

A neat and loud voice resounded throughout the Golden Palace, and the ministers respectfully sent the emperor away by the eunuchs on their shoulders.

They did not breathe a sigh of relief until they could not see the emperor and stood up.

Everyone left the Golden Palace in groups of three or three, and walked forward while talking.

An old man with gray hair and a goatee rubbed his eyebrows and whispered in a sigh: "The emperor's dragon body... Alas, I've been resting for so many days, but I still haven't recovered."

Thinking that the emperor's decayed face seemed to be exhausted, the old man's face was not very good, and he was somewhat worried about Da Qi's future.

Several officials were surrounded by the old man, with different expressions. Some nodded with emotion, some were silent, some sighed and looked back at the direction of the Golden Throne, and some frowned.

After walking down the white marble steps, a middle-aged official in his forties cleared his throat and sighed: "It is not easy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to reign over the country in the past two months."

He said it meaningfully and exchanged a look with the old man with a goatee.

Another person nodded and agreed: "The emperor is ill. Fortunately, the prince is in charge of the overall situation, so the government can be in order."

Other officials were also worried and understood the unfinished words of their colleagues.

Since the emperor became ill, the crown prince has been in charge of the government affairs in the past two months. Not only has the political affairs not been in chaos, but it has been smoother than before.

For example, in the spring of the northwest, the King of Nanyang Qin Yao took an urgent note of 800 miles to request the court to provide disaster relief. His Royal Highness made a quick decision to allocate disaster relief silver to the northwest. The disaster relief was carried out vigorously and did not cause too much damage to the disaster areas in the northwest.

The prince was fair in his actions, but the emperor was a suspicious person. The northwest had always been a heart-wrenching problem in the emperor's heart.

This time, the spring flood in the northwest became a disaster. If the emperor handled this matter, the disaster relief money would not have been in place so quickly. The emperor would even send a confidant imperial envoy to the northwest for supervision, which would more or less interfere with the disaster relief.

There were not many confused people in the civil and military affairs of the court. Most of them were clear-headed and bright. They knew that the Emperor had become more and more moody in recent years. Especially since last year, there were many officials who were imprisoned for no reason, which made the ministers realize what it means to accompany the king as if they were with a tiger.

Now that the emperor is unable to control the government because of his dragon body, it may not be a bad thing.

"Mr. Wang, you said..."

One of the officials wanted to say something, but after halfway through, they came to an abrupt end.

Everyone turned their heads and looked in the same direction, and saw Kang Hongda, wearing a lion-padded robe, also walked out of the Golden Palace, stalking with a cold expression.

So, the officials of Kang Hongdadi salute him one after another and said, "Mr. Kang!"

Kang Hongda didn't even look at these people. He walked over from the crowd with an expressionless face, and released a breath of no one else's life all over his body.
To be continued...
