After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Chu Chengye didn't have a good impression of Xu Fenghui at that time.

Duplicitous people will never end well.

But Xu Fenghui reached the point where he not only helped Chu Chengye but also the late emperor. No matter which side won, it would not affect him.

He didn't put all of himself on any side. If he didn't gamble, he wouldn't lose.

Later, Chu Chengye came to the throne. Although he knew Xu Fenghui's character, Xu Fenghui's team did help him.

Chu Chengye was not an ungrateful person, and because of Xu Jilin's relationship, he granted Xu Fenghui the title of Duke.

But Chu Chengye has always been jealous of Xu Fenghui.

A person like Xu Fenghui would do something like this the first time or the second time. Chu Chengye would not trust him easily.

After Xu Fenghui came over, he only glanced at Cheng Jin.

Concubine Rong Gui has become famous in the court recently. Even if Xu Fenghui is far away from the capital, he has heard of her.

He heard that Cheng Jin, a harem woman, was not a simple person. Ever since Chu Chengye favored her, he didn't know what she said. Many of the contacts and informants he had installed in the court were removed by Chu Chengye.

But when Xu Fenghui looked at Cheng Jin, she really didn't look like someone with a deep palace, and she was no different from an ordinary harem woman.

Sensing Xu Fenghui's gaze, Cheng Jin felt uncomfortable for a moment.

Just say it.

What good could come of following Chu Chengye? If looks could kill, Cheng Jin would have been killed a hundred times by those looks one after another.

Cheng Jin pretended to be nonchalant, but when his eyes met with Xu Fenghui's, Cheng Jin showed a simple and gentle smile.

However, after a while Xu Fenghui had almost seen Cheng Jin. Xu Fenghui thought that since he had seen countless people, he would be able to see Cheng Jin clearly in front of him.

But Xu Fenghui discovered that although Cheng Jin appeared to be ignorant, she was definitely not like what she appeared to be.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

As the little eunuch outside shouted, everyone in the room stood up at the same time and saluted Chu Chengye who was walking slowly.

Chu Chengye nodded slightly, gave Cheng Jin a look, and walked up to the top.

"This is a celebration banquet, dear friends, don't be restrained."

Chu Chengye asked everyone to sit down and spoke to Xu Fenghui himself.

"After Xu Guogong successfully transported grain and grass to the front line, the border war was immediately successful. The Duke has made great contributions."

Xu Fenghui said: "I shall try my best to complete the tasks assigned by the Emperor."

"Okay, since the Duke has this idea, I will naturally reward him heavily."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Chengye suddenly laughed and said: "But before that, I don't understand something. As far as I know, the Duke of Guo did not pass through the Jiangnan area on his way back to the front line. How did the Duke communicate with the Fifth Prince? Where are the people who came back to Beijing together when we met?"

Although Chu Chengye was smiling, there was only coldness in his eyes. His smiling face made people shiver for no reason.

Xu Fenghui responded calmly: "I didn't want to pass through it at first, but the southwest area is mostly mountainous and the weather is freezing. The mountain roads are not easy to walk, so I took it upon myself to change the route and walked in the Jiangnan area. I happened to meet the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince's affairs have been completed, and he and his ministers have returned to the capital."

Chu Chengye raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering if he believed it or not.

Chu Chengye smiled even bigger: "Well done, Duke."

"If it weren't for the Duke of the State, the previous soldiers would probably still be starving and freezing. If it weren't for the Duke of the State, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy for the fifth prince."

Chu Chengye said yes, but every word he said was an accusation against Xu Fenghui.

If Xu Fenghui hadn't walked half a month's journey for a whole month, it would have been enough to deliver food and grass back and forth twice. He often fought despite being sick, so he naturally knew the importance of food and grass on the front line.

Chu Chengye originally wanted to ask questions, but Xu Feng was able to block Chu Chengye tightly every time.

Xu Fenghui had marched with the army before and was very familiar with the road to the border. If other people are sent, they may not be able to reach the place even if they walk for three months. The border situation is grim, and Chu Chengye has no other choice but to use Xu Fenghui.

Let's talk about what Chu Chengye asked Chu Huaian to go to Jiangnan to do. Chu Chengye had already said in advance that Chu Huaian should act in secret and not reveal his identity.

But who doesn’t know that people in this world are just waiting for others to serve them. If Chu Huaian was an ordinary citizen, Chu Chengye would not be able to do what Chu Chengye told him, even if he had all his abilities. Chu Chengye would have done it just because of this. This incident made Chu Huai'an plan to stay in Jiangnan for a longer time.

Being able to come back so early was indeed beyond Chu Chengye's expectations. It was probably the help of Xu Fenghui in front of him that allowed Chu Huai'an to successfully complete the task given by Chu Chengye.

Xu Fenghui pretended not to understand Chu Chengye's hint, and said to Chu Chengye: "It's just a matter of ministerial duty."

Everything for Chu Chengye is just speculation now. He can't find any substantive evidence, so he can only give up for now.

Everyone had almost arrived, but Chu Huai'an was delayed in coming. Chu Chengye looked at Wei An and said, "Let's see where the fifth prince stumbled. Why haven't he arrived yet?"

Wei An nodded and was about to go out to look for her when Xu Jilin's voice came from outside the door.

"There is no need for the emperor to go. The fifth prince was with the Ai family just now."

As soon as Xu Jilin's words came out, everyone looked towards the outside of the palace door.

I saw an extremely handsome man following Xu Jilin.

The man was wearing a moon-white robe with silver threads and dark patterns. He was tall and tall, and his eyes were aloof when he was not smiling. Although the color of his clothes was extremely simple and elegant, it made him look indescribably handsome and noble.

[As expected of the male protagonist, he shows off his cool personality every time he appears. 】

Chu Huaian's upright face smiled slightly when he saw Chu Chengye. He walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Chu Chengye.

The voice was neither fast nor slow, as if it was never affected by anything.

"I'm late, please forgive me."

When Chu Chengye saw Chu Huai'an kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but chuckle from his throat.

"Where is your brother? I am just worried that your brother may not be able to remember the way to the palace after being away from the capital for such a long time. That's why I thought of letting someone look for you."

Chu Huaian laughed and said, "It's been two months since I left Beijing. A lot has changed in this palace. It's true that I can't recognize the way around."

Chu Chengye's words were aimed at Chu Huai'an. He had grown up in this palace since he was a child, so how could he not recognize the road.

But no matter what happened before, now, he is the king of this world. Not only this palace, but also the whole world belongs to him.

Seeing that Chu Chengye deliberately wanted to embarrass Chu Huaian, Xu Jilin quickly came out to smooth things over.

"But I've only been out of the capital for two months. How can it be that long? I'm not 70 or 80 years old. How can my memory be so bad? Besides, the fifth prince left the capital to Jiangnan to do something for the emperor. After doing it, he came back. He can't remember it at all. Whatever impact it will have, you will remember it if you walk around the palace more often."

Chu Chengye did not stop Xu Jilin and listened to Xu Jilin continue talking.

"It's also the fault of the Ai family. The fifth prince was only out of the capital for a few days, so he wanted to talk to the fifth prince more, so he missed the time."

Chu Chengye said: "What about the Queen Mother? The fifth prince is the Queen Mother's flesh and blood. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so it's normal for us to talk more."

"It's still my fault. I didn't expect this level. I only thought about trusting the Emperor's brother. Only the Emperor's brother can do things. I forgot that the Emperor's brother has been with the Queen Mother since she was a child. She has never been away for such a long time and so far away. The Queen Mother will naturally miss."
