After waiting for the return to the Prince's Mansion, entering Xichen Courtyard and closing the door, Chu Chen couldn't wait to speak: "Zixi, you are going back the day after tomorrow? Why are you so suddenly?"

Didn’t you agree to go back in mid-February?

"Well, my prime minister is seriously ill, I have to go back and see him." Zixi spoke.

The tone of calmness and gentleness seemed to be telling something extraordinary.

The Prime Minister is seriously ill?

Chu Chen was surprised, then his expression became dark, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "Do you care about him very much?"

So it was all fake to say that he didn't like him before. When he heard that he was seriously ill, he immediately wanted to go back?

"Yes." Zixi nodded calmly, "I care very much, I care about how he died with my own eyes."

"...ah?" Chu Chen was stunned and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

He was quite sad at first, but he prepared a lot of sad words along the way back. Now he has lost his sadness and has to be re-planted.

"Okay, don't pretend." Zixi knocked on his forehead with his fingers, "Watch it yourself and think about it carefully. Feng Weiyu doesn't know about me coming to Xiling, but I haven't been to court for several months or show up. It will definitely do more harm than good for him."

"He competed with the Regent in court, and most of the power is still in the hands of the Regent. Now the empress is taking power, and he has many ideas in mind. He is seriously ill and is trying to force me to show up."

When Chu Chen heard this, he frowned slightly and thought seriously for a moment.

There seems to be some truth.

Although Feng Weiyu is the prime minister and the leader of all officials, before the empress takes power, the regent was the one who monopolizes the power.

The empress likes Feng Weiyu and supports the prime minister with all her strength in order to divide the power of the regent after taking power. Therefore, for Feng Weiyu, the empress can take charge of the court, which is a strong backing for him, and it is also his justification for the regent to be justified.

Now that the empress does not attend court under the name of being romantic, Feng Weiyu naturally doesn't believe it. After a long time, she will inevitably feel suspicious, and even suspects that the regent imprisoned the empress in order to continue to control the government.

That's why I used the pretense.

Zixi's failure to go back for the time being actually had no big impact on herself, but it was not good for the Regent.

Once all the court officials are provoked and all the doubts are provoked, it is not uncommon for the court to be in chaos.

Chu Chen understands the truth.

But he just couldn't bear to leave Zixi so early.

"It's too sudden." Chu Chen frowned and looked at her with grievance, "I'm not mentally prepared at all."

"I just got the news and made the decision." Zixi walked to the couch and sat down, "But it's okay to go back early. Your health is no longer injuring. You know all the conspiracy you should know. Chu Huan doesn't have the energy to deal with your father. After I leave, you can prepare for the successor to the King of Xiling. At most, the imperial edict will be passed here."

Chu Chen remembered what Zi Xi said to Chu Ning just now in the Princess's Mansion, and was silent for a moment: "There is nothing in Xiling. Chu Ning is not a stubborn person. For her, she actually doesn't care who is the emperor and whether the Chu royal family will be deposed-especially when Chu Huan touched her scale, and he was not far from death."

Zixi nodded.
