Chapter 326

The emperor dismissed the servant, took up the brush, dipped it in some ink, and wrote down the comments on the fold wholeheartedly. Chu Chengxun looked at him for a long time. Sit on one side. Thoughts drifted outside the palace.

"On that table is your favorite date paste yam cake when you were a child," the emperor raised his eyes. "Don't you try it. I asked the imperial dining room to get up and make it this morning. I thought you would come."

Chu Chengxun just looked down. He smiled and said, "I have some toothache. I can't eat such sweet and greasy things."

"I don't think you've noticed that you don't like eating for a long time." the emperor bent his lips. "People always become. It's normal for you to change your taste and like to eat other things. If you like to eat, tell me. When you come to the study, I'll ask someone to cook it for you."

"It's enough for me to have a few sips of green tea. The emperor is considerate. Thank you very much."

The emperor Nuo Zui, "you're just too polite. I'm a monarch and minister with you outside, but I'm a brother inside. It's normal for me to prepare what you like to eat."

"Yes, I know." Chu Chengxun smiled with a low eyebrow. "What is the emperor looking for me for?"

The emperor put down his pen. Slowly strolled in front of him, "you've been living in Duan Wang's house. Has there been any change there?"

"Duan Wang's mind has been on the sick Princess Duan recently. He has less time to go out to meet the minister, so he's still safe," Chu Chengxun said in a deep voice. "The emperor doesn't have to worry."

"I can't not worry," the emperor's eyes became more and more profound. "I don't trust him when he goes out. I always feel that I make friends with the minister in private to compete with me. I don't trust him if he doesn't go out, and I feel that there is action behind him."

Chu Chengxun smiled bitterly and said, "what does the emperor want him to do? Duanwang can't do either on the left or on the right."

The emperor looked at him faintly, "he is a brave and capable prince in my heart, but he is also a traitor who will endanger my rule."

"Duan Wang will not betray the emperor," Chu Chengxun was surprised. "Why does the emperor have such concerns?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at him. "You have been with him for so long, why can't you see that he is such a person? Don't you stare at him carefully for me?"

Chu Chengxun was stunned and said with some hesitation: "how does the emperor suspect that the minister has come? The minister has been helping the emperor keep an eye on Duanwang."

"Why do I think you are a little biased towards Duan Wang," the emperor said. "I asked you to keep an eye on Duan Wang in the palace. You should also secretly develop your own forces to suppress Duan Wang. Don't become a faction with Duan Wang, but come to plan on me."

Chu Chengxun quickly stood up and explained: "the emperor misunderstood his minister. He knew that he came back to the state of Qin to help the emperor brother. How could he be in the same faction with people who the emperor brother didn't approve and target the emperor brother together?" it turned out that he didn't ask him to come here today to understand Duanwang's situation, but to test his bias. Chu Chengxun swallowed a breath and was almost cheated by him.

The emperor was silent for a long time, tilted his head and said with a smile, "I knew you would always stand on my side. Duanwang is a very smart man. You must not be cheated by him."

"The emperor's brother is his elder brother. How could he betray the emperor? He always works for the emperor's brother," Chu Chengxun hurriedly showed his loyalty. "But the emperor's brother must believe him. He will suppress the Duanwang and let the prince he likes ascend the throne."

The emperor looked at him with appreciation and said with a smile, "I'm also very satisfied with you. I don't think you're very interested in your forces. I thought you stood with Duanwang secretly. I'm really afraid that I don't even have anyone to trust."

"I won't," Chu Chengxun shook his head and his eyes twinkled with certainty. "The reason why I didn't start to develop my power in the court is mainly because I'm afraid that Duan Wang is suspicious. Now I'm still in the stage of taking his trust. I must take my time and don't scare the snake."

"You have your own plan, and I believe your plan," the emperor looked down and smiled at him. "In the future, when there are only two of us in private, you don't have to call me the emperor. Call the emperor's brother more cordially."

Chu Chengxun's smile grew stronger on his lips, but there was no waves in his heart, "yes, brother Huang."

In front of the charcoal fire in the small stove, the rising spark Xingzi flashed in the air. Xi Yu helped him beat his shoulder and asked softly, "why does the prince show such a tired look every time he sees the emperor?"

Chu Chengxun half narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I'm tired after meeting Duanwang, or after meeting the emperor?"

Xiyu drooped his eyes for a moment and replied, "of course after meeting the emperor."

"You can also see that in front of the emperor, I always have to cooperate with him to perform the drama of brotherhood, and what I say in front of Duanwang, so I'm naturally more relaxed in front of Duanwang."

Xiyu nodded and smiled: "but the slave felt so hungry that the prince was most relaxed in front of the princess to be. Although he didn't have to be so tired in front of Duanwang, the prince was still a little nervous and his expression was much more serious, but in front of the princess to be, the corners of the prince's lips would still be slightly aroused, and there was more smile on his lips."

Chu Chengxun raised his mouth and glanced at him obliquely. Xi Yu surprised and pointed to his face, "the prince is like this in front of the prospective princess."

"Don't talk nonsense. They are the prospective Princess of Duan Wang. They will pass the door soon."

"But her illness hasn't healed yet. The prince gave her so many drugs and recuperated with his heart every day. How can it be better?" Xi Yu swallowed a breath and looked at him in some doubt. "Is there a serious trend in the condition of the princess to be?"

"No, I'm controlling the dosage to make her better slowly," Chu Chengxun touched a little Mars in the air. "She won't get better until spring at the latest. She can only spend this winter in her room."

The hand on Xiyu's shoulder slowly stopped. He opened his eyes in disbelief. "Why did the Lord do this? She will marry Duanwang soon. Now the whole palace is preparing for their marriage."

"I know, Duan Wang is going to give me a lot of happy candy at the wedding banquet," Chu Chengxun added a few threads of unbearable in his eyes. "The reason why I do this is not obvious. I just don't want them to get married."

Xiyu bit his lower lip and said blankly, "doesn't the prince like the prospective princess?"

"I don't know what love is. There are so many ancient poems, but no one can understand," Chu Chengxun said with a faint smile. "In fact, I don't understand. I just feel comfortable with the princess to be. Maybe this is love."

"Lord..." Xi Yu looked at his deep eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment. This was the first time he saw such an expression on his face.

"I know what you want to say, but I just want to tell you, and you can't tell anyone," Chu Chengxun put away his smile, put his index finger on his lips and let him hiss. "You should remember that this matter is no small matter. You can't tell anyone."

Xiyu frowned in embarrassment, "but why does the prince fall in love with the princess to be? What exactly attracts the prince to be, and she will become Duanwang's wife."

"I don't know. I'm very happy when I'm with her. That's the happiest feeling in my life," Chu Chengxun said with affection in his eyes. "I know she's already someone else's wife, but that's not the reason why I stop liking her."

Xiyu patted his forehead, "the prince must hold on. He must not be found by the prospective princess or Duanwang, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"Of course I know the consequences are serious, so I want you to keep it a secret," Chu Chengxun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile. "Just rest assured. I usually hide well. They absolutely can't find it."

"The prince wants to delay the date when the princess to be marries Duan Wang by controlling the dosage, but the princess to be will be Duan Wang sooner or later. The prince's doing so will affect the princess to be's body."

"No, my medical skills are very good. Although her body recovers slowly, it will never affect her health," Chu Chengxun breathed slowly. "I just want to stay with her for a long time, so that she can not become someone else's woman so quickly, and give me more time to get along with her."

"Lord," said Xi Yu stupidly, "you are really in love. It's hard to get rid of it."

"I know, I don't want to earn it. If I can look at her like this all the time, it's also a good choice," said Chu Chengxun. "Besides, whether they can get married or not has to be said."

Xiyu was stunned. "The Lord doesn't want to destroy the relationship between them, does he?"

"Of course I wouldn't do such a thing," Chu Chengxun arranged his sleeves in his spare time, "but I'm also telling the truth. There are many problems between them. The prospective princess can't hold any sand, but it's impossible not to marry another woman if she wants to be the emperor's Duanwang."

"So the Lord still thinks that sun Peijiu will marry into the Duan palace?"

"Her rank is too low, and miss Jiao can't use any advanced means," Chu Chengxun rubbed his eyebrows. "The fun thing is still behind. It's too early to say at this time."

Xue ronghua slowly opened his eyes and happened to see chuaier coming in with a medicine bowl. She started to stir the soup and said in a low voice, "since Miss woke up, drink this bowl of medicine."

Xue ronghua grumbled impatiently, "why do you want to drink medicine again? This winter has come. Why haven't I recovered from my illness."

"I don't know. The king said that Miss Xiang was very ill and couldn't recover for a while and a half."

"Isn't Xiangwang's medical skill very good? At that time, I was infected with wind cold and fell ill like a silk. He cured me in twos and threes. How can he die again," Xue ronghua sighed distraught. "Forget it, I'd better do as he said and drink the medicine."

Zhui'er looked at her gulping down the medicine and reminded her, "Xiang Wang will come and ask for a pulse for the young lady later."

Xue ronghua wiped the water stains on the corners of his lips with a handkerchief. "I see. You don't have to close the door when you leave. Just let him in."

Zhui'er was stunned, widened his eyes and asked, "does Miss mean to let Xiang Wang please pulse for miss in the room?"

"What's strange about this? I've seen so many people. I'm not a lady of a family," Xue ronghua sniffed. "Just ask for a pulse in the room. It's also a trouble-free way, and I don't want to move around."
