As soon as Chu Chen heard Mu Tiankuo's words, he knew that Pei Wenyao must have told him.But he didn't intend to speak out completely, no matter what he did, he had to save face for His Highness the Crown Prince!
Some things are fine for everyone to know, and it will only be more embarrassing to say it.And he played with Mu Tiankuo so blatantly yesterday, if the other party became angry and pursued it, it would be troublesome.
"Why did the princess think of coming to pick up the orphan herself?" Mu Tiankuo asked.
"Hehe." Chu Chen laughed twice, and said: "I accidentally saw Xu Wenliang's confession in His Highness's study, and I was a little confused. I wanted to ask him to clarify my confusion in person. I wonder if His Highness will allow it?"
Mu Tiankuo heard the words and said: "Gu is also quite curious about this person, so let's go and have a look with the princess."
When Chu Chen heard this, his face immediately beamed with joy, and he took Mu Tiankuo's hand and got into the carriage.
The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was dark and damp, and Chu Chen couldn't help shivering as soon as he entered.Yao Kingdom is located in the north, and the climate is relatively dry. This dark prison cell is probably the most uncomfortable place in the entire royal city.
The guard took Mu Tiankuo and Chu Chen to a relatively clean interrogation room, but did not take them directly into the prison, presumably because they were concerned about the bad environment inside.
After a while, Xu Wenliang was brought out.
Chu Chen took a closer look and found that Xu Wenliang was not bad looking, completely different from his imagined image of a slippery philistine, and even a bit bookish.
"How are you doing in prison?" Chu Chen asked.
"Cold, hungry, tide." Xu Wenliang said: "Days are like years."
Chu Chen said: "I'll ask you a few questions, if you answer to my satisfaction, I'll find a way to make you live here more comfortably, how about it?" Chu Chen glanced at Mu Tiankuo when he said this The other party nodded slightly, which meant that he acquiesced to Chu Chen's request.
"Your word is what you say?" Xu Wenliang asked.
"It's not like you to be foolish." Chu Chen said with a smile.
Xu Wenliang frowned when he heard the words, wanted to refute but held back.Chu Chen asked: "The first question, you said in your confession that you brought nearly a hundred people to the royal city. How did you find these people and convince them to believe you?"
"I didn't deliberately choose, and I met one. As for persuasion, I rely on my sincerity, and I am a person with sincerity. If I say it sincerely, they will naturally believe it." Xu Wenliang said.
If he hadn't been prepared, Chu Chen would have believed his nonsense.It's a big joke for a big fool to tell him that sincerity is the foundation.But I have to say that this Xu Wenliang is born with the advantage of being a big fool, because his appearance and temperament have a natural literary spirit. When he stands there, he has a sincere and sincere feeling when he opens his mouth. Make people lose their guard.
"How about this, I'll give you a question, after three days you think it up, write it on paper and ask someone to give it to me, if I'm satisfied, I won't treat you badly." Chu Chen said.
Xu Wenliang hurriedly said: "If I answer well, can you release me?"
"It's hard to say." Chu Chen said: "But it will definitely not make you suffer."
Xu Wenliang nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, with a grateful expression on his face.
Mu Tiankuo did not expect Chu Chen to make such a request, and immediately looked at Chu Chen curiously, then heard that Chu Chen cleared his throat and said, "If I want you to find hundreds of people to work for me now , and require these people not only to be down-to-earth, conscientious and loyal, but also to be healthy and hard-working, how will you recruit people, how will you restrain them, and ensure that they will trust you?"
Xu Wenliang heard the words and said: "It doesn't take three days for you to answer this question, I can give you the answer now."
Hearing this, Chu Chen said, "Speak, I'm listening."
"You don't need an answer. If you hire me to work for you, I will find these people for you and restrain them for you." Xu Wenliang said.
"You're smart, but you're a little slippery." Chu Chen said: "You have broken your word, abandoned people and ignored them, so the villain thought that I would also kill donkeys and be empty-handed... But you should have heard a saying that cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. I gave you a chance to see if you are dedicated, not to see you boasting."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he took a look at Mu Tiankuo, and said, "Let's go, don't waste time here." After saying that, he pulled Mu Tiankuo and walked out.
"Your Excellency, stay away. I'm not boasting. I can help you find anyone you want." Xu Wenliang said.
Chu Chen said: "If you can't make me trust you, how can I trust the person you found?" After saying that, Chu Chen led Mu Tiankuo out of the room.
Xu Wenliang was startled and wanted to say something, but was held down by the guard.He looked at Chu Chen's back, thoughtfully.
"Aren't you going to give him another chance?" After the two came out, Mu Tiankuo asked.
"This person has something, but it's a pity that his intentions are not right." Chu Chen said: "If he can sincerely repent, he can be given a chance to make meritorious deeds. But it depends on whether he can grasp the opportunity.
Chu Chen has always believed that, except for the treacherous and evil, most people will inevitably have a battle between good and evil in their hearts. Even he himself is not confident that he will never make mistakes in his life.A person has made a mistake and should be punished, but he will not be stingy with the opportunity to reform himself.
The prodigal son will not change his money when he turns back. Although this saying is vulgar, it is not unreasonable.It's just that not all prodigal sons will have the opportunity to turn back.
After the two returned to the East Palace, Mu Tiankuo took Chu Chen directly to the bedroom.As soon as Chu Chen stepped in, he couldn't help being stunned, and saw that all the decorations in the dormitory had undergone earth-shaking changes, the tables, chairs, benches, vases, and even the couch in the inner hall had been replaced with new ones.
"You said repairs, but I thought it was just messing around." Chu Chen said in surprise, "Are you planning... to move in here when you get married?"
Mu Tiankuo stretched out his arms to hug Chu Chen from behind and said, "Gu can't wait for the wedding day, so I want to move here tonight and warm the house with you."
Chu Shen and Mu Tiankuo are rarely so intimate on weekdays, and Mu Tiankuo hugging him like this is like sending out some kind of signal.
"Hothouse?" Chu Chen asked.
"Yes." Mu Tiankuo said with a smile in his voice: "There are many things that can be done in the new house, and they are things that two people can do together."
Chu Chen subconsciously wanted to run when he heard this, "I'm hungry, let's go have breakfast first!"
"It's good to be hungry." Mu Tiankuo put his arms around him and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of things stored here for you."
Chu Chen: ...
The old saying does not deceive me, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!
……
Chu Chen felt that Mu Tiankuo had changed.
In the past, Mu Tiankuo was a restrained and deep person in his eyes. Chu Chen had been with him for so long, and the biggest feeling he had was that he couldn't see through this person.
He often couldn't tell when Mu Tiankuo was happy, when he was unhappy, and when he was angry.Probably because he has been a proton in Dachu for too long, Mu Tiankuo has developed a temperament that shows no signs of emotion, he doesn't show any emotions easily, and he doesn't like to let others perceive his emotional changes.
But recently, Chu Chen noticed that things had changed.
He found that recently he can often judge Mu Tiankuo's thoughts very clearly, and he has judged very accurately several times.However, most of these judgments are in the same aspect...
Wasn't Mu Tiankuo quite abstinent in the past?
No matter what, Chu Chen couldn't figure out why the other party seemed to be a different person recently, showing excessive enthusiasm in some aspects!
Chu Chen didn't have the strength to think anymore...
Even after Mu Tiankuo asked him to get up to eat, he just lay down on the couch and fell asleep without saying a word.
The next morning, Chu Chen woke up on the new couch in the bedroom.
"Your Highness, are you awake?" Chong Yang stood by the couch with a smile on his face.Chu Chen rubbed his eyes and got off the couch, and Chongyang helped him out of the inner hall.There was a screen between the inner hall and the outer hall, and behind the screen was a low couch. Chongyang helped Chu Chen to sit on the low couch, and after giving instructions, a servant came in with washing utensils.Chu Chen was a little sober after being waited on by them to wash up.
"Your Highness, I will wait for you to change your clothes." Chongyang took the clothes from the side and helped Chu Chen put them on himself.Chu Chen looked at the clothes and found that they were new, so he asked: "This robe is very elegant, who made it?"
"I asked someone to make it for the princess, does it still fit?" Mu Tiankuo came in from behind the screen, wearing a robe that looked exactly like Chu Chen's.
While the two tunics look similar, the actual detailing and graining of the patterns differ slightly.
Mu Tiankuo stepped forward to take the jade belt, Chongyang who was next to him felt that he retreated outside when he saw this.
"What are you doing in such a fancy dress?" Chu Chen raised his hand, allowing Mu Tiankuo to help him fasten the jade belt, while casually saying: "It will fall if it is too loose, fasten it tighter."
Mu Tiankuo said in a deep voice: "If you buckle it too tightly, it will hurt the child."
"Now you know how to worry about children?" Chu Chen said with a little dissatisfaction: "When you were struggling last night, I asked you to slow down. What did you say?"
Mu Tiankuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in a low voice with a wonderful expression: "You have a sense of propriety, don't say it."
Chu Chen only thought that he was guilty, and deliberately imitated Mu Tiankuo's tone and said: "Gu and your child is the proud son of heaven. He is solid and not afraid of trouble." Chu Chen tightened the jade belt buckle by himself, and then He came out from behind the screen, and then froze on the spot.
Outside the screen, there were Lu Jing, Mu Tian/Xing, Pei Wenyao, Chong Yang, Lin Dong... and several young people whom Chu Chen didn't know very well.
Everyone had different expressions, and several of them blushed.Obviously, they heard everything Chu Chen said clearly just now!
Chu Chen: ...
