brother princess

I'll imprison you, okay?Then you will only have me, and no one will take you away. "

"Chu Jie!" The blood on Chu Jing's face disappeared instantly!Does Chu Jie know what he is talking about?

Chu Jie paused, as if waking up from a dream, and looked at Chu Jing in a daze.After a while, he looked away, with regret in his voice. "sorry."

Just as Chu Jing was about to say something, Chu Jie suddenly rushed out the door!

"Hey!"

Chu Jie ran away as if fleeing. After leaving Su Jinyuan, he suddenly squatted down, covered his face and burst into tears.

What did he say?Why would you say that to Jing'er?He obviously didn't want to expose such an ugly self to Jing'er.

Jing'er must think he is scary, right?Now, Jing'er really doesn't want to be with him anymore.

Why?Why?Why did it become like this? !

☆, reconciliation

Chu Jing lay on the bed, crossed her hands behind her head, and looked at the bed curtain quietly.

He thought a lot about Liang Shaoyun's marriage proposal and Chu Jie's abnormality.

He feels his failure.As a person whose actual age is nearly two rounds older than them, he has no heart at all.

Liang Shaoyun has always had that kind of liking for him, but he doesn't know it.As for Chu Jie's thoughts, he never cared about them.He has always regarded Chu Jie as a child, but he doesn't know how much a child cares about the people he depends on.He made Chu Jie dependent on him, and then said that he could not promise to be with him forever, which must be cruel to Chu Jie.

That's why Chu Jie came up with such extreme thoughts.Chu Jing thought of the back of Chu Jie who ran away after saying sorry, and felt as if something had been stuffed into his heart, which became heavy and made him uncomfortable.

Chu Jie must have felt that he was going to abandon him. According to Chu Jie's character, he probably didn't want to see him again. Seeing him would only increase his sadness.

He pulled out his right hand, spread his palm in front of him, and looked at the little finger.The first time he saw Chu Jie, he was stepping out of the bathtub, and then he saw a soft and cute child standing beside the screen with a rabbit in his arms.Afterwards, he hooked the child with his little finger for five years.

Five years, he and Chu Jie have been together for five years.Five years is not long, and it cannot be said to be short. During this time, he is also used to having Chu Jie around. Chu Jie will call "Jing Er Jing Er" with a warm smile, and will carefully see his subtle changes. In winter, I hug him to keep him warm, and sometimes show a very shy expression.

Actually, why not agree to Chu Jie?He will definitely not marry Liang Shaoyun, and it is impossible for him to marry, and there is probably no possibility of leaving.And Chu Jie has already added the crown, and will marry the princess soon. When he meets a girl he likes, he will naturally not care about him, and he will definitely not take that agreement seriously.

The time he can be with Chu Jie is not too much, so agree.

Chu Jing sat up when Concubine Su came in.She looked at Chu Jing with worry in her eyes, "Jing'er, are you okay?" When she heard the report from the maid below that the prince had visited Su Jin Yuan at that time, she felt very uneasy.She can see the prince's love for Jing'er, and she must be very opposed to knowing that Jing'er is accused of marriage.Just like when she was going to enter the palace back then, her elder brother tried his best to stop her, and finally was locked in the room by her father for three months.

Chu Jing smiled, "It's fine."

"Then eat something, don't starve yourself."

Chu Jing shook her head, "No, I'm going to the East Palace."

Concubine Su was a little surprised, "What are you doing in the East Palace?"

"I need to talk to my brother about something." Chu Jing jumped off the bed and put on his boots, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Concubine Su nodded, "Then you can eat when you come back."

"Yeah." Chu Jing stomped on her boots and went out.

Concubine Su looked at his back and sighed softly.

Chu Jing arrived at the East Palace, but was stopped.

"Princess, His Royal Highness said he didn't see anyone." The little eunuch smiled apologetically.

Chu Jing frowned, "You should report it."

"No need." A man in black clothes came over, it was Yin Hong from the East Palace.He stood still in front of Chu Jing, "I asked the prince, and he said that even the princess would not be there. Princess, please go back."

Chu Jing was silent, and finally nodded. "Then I'll come again next time."

After Chu Jing left, Yin Hong showed a playful smile, "Ha, will he kill me?"

Chu Jie looked at the book in front of him, but couldn't read a word, and felt a slight pain in his eyes.But he didn't dare to close his eyes, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would recall that scene.He said such terrible words, and Jing'er pushed him away in horror...

"Your Highness, I have some news," Yin Hong suddenly pushed the door open and came in with a playful smile. "Listen?"

Chu Jie continued to read his book without speaking.

Yin Hong knew that he didn't want to talk to him at all at the moment, so he continued on his own, "Princess Jing came to the East Palace just now."

Chu Jie paused, then looked up, "What did you say?"

Yin Hong laughed, "Don't get excited, I think you definitely don't want to see the princess, so I let the princess go back."

Chu Jie heard the words, but lowered his head again, "Yes."

Um?Yin Hong couldn't believe his ears, he just answered "huh" when he heard such news?He leaned closer, "His Royal Highness, are you sick?"

Chu Jie looked up at him with sharp eyes, "Get lost."

Yin Hong shrugged, "Oh."

After Yin Hun went out, Chu Yu suddenly hugged his head and sobbed softly.He really wanted to see Jing'er, but he didn't dare.

He was so scared, afraid that Jing'er would say something that made him despair.Let him maintain the illusion that Jing'er doesn't hate him.

After that, Chu Jing went to the East Palace every day, and was stopped every time without exception.

Yin Yu happily reported to Chu Jie every day how Chu Jing looked like today, and on the other hand, he watched Chu Jie's reaction.In the end, he was intimidated by Chu Jie's warning "If you dare to observe Jing'er again, I will pluck out your eyeballs" before stopping this activity.

Chu Jie wanted to see Chu Jing several times, but in the end she still didn't have enough courage.

It went on like this for five or six days.

Chu Jing decided to change her strategy.Chu Jie has to go to the morning court every day, since going to the East Palace is invalid, he will go to intercept him on the way back from the next court!

At the end of the morning, Chu Jie was sitting in the soft sedan, which was shaking a little. He hadn't had a good rest these days, and at this moment he felt a little headache.

Suddenly the sedan chair stopped shaking, and Chu Jie didn't know what happened, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Put down the sedan chair!"

The familiar voice came from outside the sedan chair, Chu Jie was taken aback for a moment, then opened the curtain, and saw the person who had been thinking about it for a long time walking over with a menacing expression.

Chu Jie didn't care that his head was still hurting, so he got out of the sedan chair and ran away.

Seeing him run away, Chu Jing immediately lifted her skirt and chased after him!

Compared to Chu Jie, Chu Jing's legs are much shorter, and she couldn't get closer even after chasing for a long time!As soon as Chu Jing gritted her teeth, she threw herself on the ground, making a particularly tragic cry!

Chu Jie in front of him heard the voice and turned his head immediately.I saw Chu Jing laying on the ground, as if he had fallen a bit terribly.

"Jing'er!" Chu Jie hurriedly ran over and helped Chu Jing up, "Jing'er, are you alright?"

But Chu Jing grabbed Chu Jie's arm tightly, raised his face, and smiled triumphantly, "I got you."

Chu Jie was taken aback for a moment before he realized that he had been cheated.

Chu Jing tugged at his face, "Say, why didn't you see me?"

"I..." The expression on Chu Jie's face suddenly became aggrieved, "I'm sorry."

Seeing him like this, Chu Jing sighed. "Forget it, forget it, let the past go. I came to you to tell you one thing."

Chu Jie immediately showed a look of panic, "No, I don't want to hear it."

Chu Jing grabbed him tightly and wanted to run away, "I promise you!"

Chu Jie was startled, and then heard Chu Jing continue: "I promise you what you said that day! I won't leave you, and I won't marry Liang Shaoyun!"

Chu Jie looked at Chu Jing, but still couldn't recover.Chu Jing reached out and hugged him, "So, don't avoid me, okay?"

Chu Jie paused, and hugged Chu Jing slowly and gently, as if embracing an illusion, but finally touched the reality.It's true, true.

Chu Jie tightened his arms and buried his face in the crest of Chu Jing's neck. He smelled the familiar smell, and suddenly his eyes became hot, and tears came down.

"Jing'er, Jing'er."

It's not dreaming, he hugged Jing'er again.

Not far away, a white figure saw that scene, he shook his head and smiled, flapped his folding fan, turned around and walked away.

"Oh, I'm really not afraid of death." The man sighed, but his face was full of sarcasm.

The author has something to say:

☆, gossip

Everyone in the Eastern Palace found that their Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be in a good mood these past few days, because they saw a slight smile on that expressionless face several times!

Those who are more daring guess whether His Highness the Crown Prince has met a woman he likes, because of that smile, no matter how you look at it, you look like an idiot.

And Yin Hong was even more bold, and smiled directly at Chu Yu: "Your Highness is in a good mood these two days, did the princess say anything at that time?"

Chu Jie looked up at him, and said expressionlessly, "Are you free? Go and help the servants pull out the grass in the yard."

Yin Hong curled his lips, "Forget it, I'll just go."

When Yin Hong left the study, Chu Jie suddenly raised his hand to cover his face, with the corners of his lips raised high.These days, as long as he thinks of what Jing'er said, he can't help but curl his lips.

He felt that his feelings had been responded to, and Jing'er didn't hate him, and chose to stay with him all the time.Jing'er also likes him, just like he likes Jing'er, this kind of feeling always makes him almost cry with joy.

When Yin Hong walked outside, he saw Wei Ming, who was also a diner in the Eastern Palace, sitting on the steps with his back turned to him, "If you dare to visit the prince casually, you still don't use honorifics."

Yin Huan didn't like this person very much, and he didn't intend to chat with him, so he hummed twice, "Of course!"

"Are you not afraid that one day you will be used for surgery?"

"Ha, every time he shows me a face, he doesn't see any actual action."

Wei Ming turned his head, a somewhat helpless smile appeared on Junxiu's face, "It's just that you haven't touched his bottom line yet. You'd better have a snack, don't regret it when it's too late."

Yin Hong frowned, he just didn't like this person's face that always cared about him!Are they familiar? !How he is has nothing to do with him!

"That's what I like to do, can you care?" Yin Hong let out a "tss", then walked around him.

Wei Ming looked at his back and shook his head slightly.Then he stood up, patted the dust, turned around and knocked on the door of the study. "Your Highness, I'm Wei Ming."

"come in."

Wei Ming pushed the door open and walked in, saluting politely.Chu Jie waved his hand, "I'm looking for you this time because I have something to entrust to you."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"Make Liang Shaoyun disappear without leaving a trace."

Wei Ming raised his head and looked at Chu Jie, with suspicion in his eyes, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Chu Jie looked into his eyes, "Do you know why I recruited you into the East Palace? It's not because of your famous intelligence, but because I found out about your hidden past. So, you understand what I mean."

Wei Ming's facial expression changed slightly, "Your Highness, do you trust me?"

"Although I seldom communicate with you among the diners, I can tell that you are the most trustworthy of them all." Chu Jie crossed his fingers under his chin, and his eyes were burning, "I hope you won't let me down."

Wei Ming slowly showed a smile, "If you really want to leave no trace, please be patient. Mr. Liang is in the capital, and his actions will inevitably cause quite a commotion. After a year after Mr. Liang's coronation is over, he will go to the battlefield, and then The people below will sneak into the army and wait for the opportunity..." Wei Ming slowly clenched his hand, "On the battlefield, life and death are just a matter of a moment, and no one will doubt it."

"Okay, anyway, this matter is entirely up to you." Chu Jie changed the subject, "But, don't you think I'm wrong?"

Wei Ming looked at him, "Your Highness trusts me, and I will do my best for you. As for what is right or wrong, I don't care."

Chu Jie was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay, I really didn't save the wrong person back then."

Wei Ming gently caressed the severed finger on the other hand with his hand hidden in his sleeve, his eyes darkened slightly.

Just when Chu Jie let go of all his worries, there was a rumor in the palace that the prince was having an affair with Princess Jing.

Gossip is the favorite thing of the servants in the palace, so this rumor, which is not sure whether it is credible or not, spreads quickly and becomes the material for discussion in the servants' spare time.

"I've heard that His Royal Highness and Princess Jing are on good terms, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of relationship."

"Didn't the emperor forbid the crown prince to go to Sujin Garden a few years ago? Could it be that something happened at that time, and the emperor discovered it?"

"Go, talk nonsense! How old were they at that time!"

"Hey, I don't know if this kind of rumors passed around are trustworthy. I think the prince and Princess Jing just have a good relationship."

"Oh, isn't Princess Jing going to marry the eldest son of the Liang family? But I heard that Princess Jing doesn't want to marry him, but wants to be with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Hey, that's too embarrassing."

……

"Girls, it's not good to talk behind your back."

The maids turned their heads and saw a man in extraordinary clothes standing behind them, they shut their mouths and walked away.

Yin Hong watched them scatter like birds and beasts, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.

After returning to the East Palace, Yin Hong went to Chu Jie's study.

"Your Highness, there is news, do you listen?"

Chu Jie raised his head and saw Yin Huan standing in front of him with a playful smile. Although he asked Yin Huan, who is good at collecting information, to be in charge of the news, he had to admit that Yin Huan was really annoying! "What is it?"

"All the servants in the palace are spreading rumors that you and Princess Jing are having an affair." Yin Hong curled his lips, "Did you make it too obvious, Your Highness? You let such rumors come out."

Chu Yu's face darkened, he stood up suddenly, grabbed Yin Hong's lapel, "Shut up!"

Yin Huan immediately closed his mouth, seeing that Chu Yu threw him away, his face was gloomy and he was thinking about something, after a while he couldn't help but said, "Do you want me to help you find out the person who spread the rumors?"

Chu Jie looked at him with deep eyes.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" A eunuch ran in, "The chief executive Wu Shun is here, and said that Your Highness should go to the imperial study immediately!"

Chu Jie frowned.

☆, notice

Along the way, Wu Shun didn't say anything, and Chu Jie didn't ask what was the matter.Knowing that the imperial study was in front of him, Wu Shun stopped and said, "Your Highness, the situation is a bit serious, please proceed with caution."

Chu Jie's heart moved slightly, "Thank Eunuch Wu for the reminder."

Wu Shun pushed open the door, turned sideways, and said, "Please, Your Highness."

When Chu Jie walked in, Chu Xing was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes, behind him was Xian Zhaoyi who was pinching his shoulders.

"I have seen my father, the empress Zhaoyi."

Chu Xing slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, and looked down at Chu Jie. "Do you know why I called you here?"

"My son doesn't know."

"Oh? Really?" Chu Xing smiled, "There are rumors in the palace that you have an improper relationship with Jing'er. How do you explain it?"

"Er Chen and Jing'er brothers and sisters are deeply in love, and they are brothers and sisters. How can there be an improper relationship?"

"I heard that after I married Liang Shaoyun and Jing'er, did you provoke Liang Shaoyun?"

Chu Jie raised his eyebrows, and heard Chu Xing say again: "Not long after that, you and Jing'er openly embraced again at Xuanwu Gate?"

Only then did Chu Jie realize that someone was secretly taking action against him or Jing'er!He was careless!

The fists beside him tightened, "Father, the provocation against Liang Shaoyun is indeed due to my lack of consideration. I love Jing'er so much that I can't accept it for a while. The hug is just because our conflicts have resolved."

"Then the difference between men and women and etiquette and shame you put aside?" Chu Xing sneered, "Even husband and wife should know how to shine the daylight, and you are just brothers and sisters! You really have no shame!"

Chu Xing didn't really believe the rumors, but he felt uncomfortable already.He was completely angry when he got the news that the two were openly intimate!

Chu Jie's pupils shrank slightly, and his fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves. He felt that his relationship with Jing'er had been greatly insulted!His eyes became a little scary, but when he met Wu Shun's wink at the side, the impulse was suppressed.

He must calm down, once he conflicts with Chu Xing, all his hard work these years will be in vain!The position of the crown prince... Chu Jie paused, as if thinking of something.

He raised his hand and bowed his waist, "What the father blames is that I know my mistake, and I will never do it again in the future. If you want to punish me, punish me alone. I am old, but I don't set an example for Jinger. It's my son's fault."

Chu Jie's attitude relieved the sullenness in Chu Xing's heart, "It's only natural for a brother to love his sister, but you are too much. You should separate now, and it's time for Jing'er to learn what to do when she gets married. As a prince, you should learn more about handling political affairs."

Chu Jie took a deep breath, "Yes."

"Back off." Chu Xing seemed upset, closed his eyes again, and waved his hand.

"Yes."

Chu Jie stepped back and walked out of the imperial study room. He spread out his palm, leaving a pale indentation on it.

"Heh." Chu Jie looked at Yin Zi, trying to force him to a dead end?Let's see who dies first!

Back in the East Palace, Chu Yu directly called Yin Yu to the study.

"You are in a hurry every day, and now is the time for you to come in handy."

Yin Hong curled his lips, "Who says I'm too busy? I'm busy. I heard that Cairen Zhan and Concubine Yuan fought fiercely..." After the words, he fell silent, because Chu Jie's face became dangerous!

"If you inquire about the concubine, if you report it to the emperor, do you know how many lives you have left?"

"..." Yin Hong immediately changed into a smiling face, "His Royal Highness! You are merciful, and you will definitely not report it to the emperor, right?"

Chu Jie pinched his cheeks, "Then you have to do a good job for me."

Yin Hong was so pinched that he couldn't speak, so he nodded, "Yeah."

"I want to know who spread the rumor about me and Jing'er, can it be done?"

Yin Huan showed hesitation, Chu Yu grabbed his hand and immediately increased his strength, repeating, "Can it be done?"

The pain in both cheeks made Yin Hong want to scream but he didn't dare, so he nodded frequently!

Chu Jie let go of him, "Okay, you can step back."

Yin Hong covered his face and walked out, thinking that this is a typical example of bullying the big with the small!When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, turned around and asked, "Your Highness, is there a time limit?"

Chu Jie picked up the inkstone on the table unintentionally, "What do you think?"

"The sooner the better!" Yin Hong rushed out in a hurry!

If you are too flustered, you will be unlucky. Not far from the study, Yin Hong ran into someone he didn't want to meet!

Yin Hong took a step back and was about to go around when Wei Ming pulled him back, "What's wrong with your face?"

"Never mind your business!" Yin Hong shook off his hand, but was caught again!

"It's all bruised, if you don't massage the bruise, it will hurt very soon, and the bruise is very ugly." Wei Ming let go of him, then supported his face and rubbed it for him.

"Ah! It hurts to death! Get the hell out of here!"

Seeing him baring his teeth, Wei Ming just smiled.

Looking at his face so close, Yin Hong felt more and more irritable. "Are you taking revenge on me with such force! Ah!"

"If you really don't want me to help you, just push me away yourself, and I didn't catch you."

Yin Hong was startled, and immediately took a bite of the hand that was rubbing his face! "Go away! I don't want to see you at all!"

Seeing him running away, Wei Ming couldn't help but smile.

☆, Chu Jing

It is forbidden to continue to communicate with the prince. When Chu Jing received this order, he felt inexplicable.Did the two of them do something wrong again?

"Also, the emperor hired an old nanny to teach the princess to prepare for the princess's future marriage."

Hearing this, Chu Jing immediately jumped up! "unnecessary!"

Wu Shun smiled bitterly: "Princess, this is what the emperor meant, you still..."

"It's too soon, I... Isn't that four years before I get married?"

Wu Shun's eyes scanned the surroundings, then moved closer to Chu Jing, and said in a low voice: "Princess, you are too close to the prince, the emperor can't see it, so he sent you to teach the nun, the emperor's original words are to teach you how to understand women. The etiquette and shame. Those mothers are not easy to save fuel, princess, please be careful, it is best not to resist too much."

Chu Jing was a little surprised by Wu Shun's reminder, looked up at him, that round face was kind, somehow reminded him of his mother when she was gentle.Although Wu Shun is not a real man, Chu Jing couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw his mother's shadow on him, and said with a dry smile, "Thank you for reminding me, Eunuch."

Wu Shun took a step back, "The decree has been conveyed, the servant has stepped back."

Chu Jing nodded, Wu Shun left, and then Concubine Su came over.

"Jing'er." Concubine Su's expression was a little serious.

Chu Jing's heart skipped a beat, feeling an ominous aura. "mother?"

Concubine Su half bent down, inspected Chu Jing's whole body, and suddenly reached out and touched Chu Jing's chest.

Chu Jing was completely stunned: "..." It was the first time in his life that he had been hit on the chest at such a big age!

"It's strange, you're already twelve, why haven't you grown up yet?"

"..."

"Jing'er, mother asks you, have you ever noticed blood in your obscene pants?"

"..." Chu Jing slowly covered his face. Although he knew that women would have sex once a month, and had secretly chatted with some buddies before, he still couldn't help feeling ashamed in this situation. "No, no."

"Could it be that the time has not yet come?" Concubine Su murmured.Just now when Wu Shun talked about asking Jing'er to prepare for marriage in the future, she realized that she had been neglecting Jing'er's problems.

"Mom, I, I'm going back to my room." After taking two steps back, Chu Jing turned around and ran away!Who knows if Concubine Su will strip his clothes to check next second!

He ran back to the room and locked the door. Just as he let out a breath, he heard a voice calling "Jing'er" from behind, scaring him so much that he almost bumped his head against the door!

Turning around, it really was Chu Jie.Chu Jing rolled her eyes, and stroked her chest with lingering fear on the other side, "I don't know how many times I've been scared like this by you."

Chu Jie smiled embarrassingly, "Be careful next time."

"Next time?" Chu Jing felt her heart rate drop, and then walked inside, "You will forget next time."

Passing by Chu Jie, Chu Jie grabbed his hand and hugged him from behind. "Does Jing'er miss me?"

Chu Jing raised his hand and patted his head, and replied politely: "I think so."

"By the way," Chu Jing suddenly remembered what Wu Shun had said, "The emperor has forbidden us to come and go again."

Chu Jie lightly sniffed the smell on Chu Jing's body, and answered absently, "Yes."

Chu Jing was quite surprised by his reaction, and turned his head slightly, "You're not sad?"

"Anyway, I come in over the wall more of the time, even if it's banned, it won't make much difference." Chu Jie gradually moved closer to Chu Jing's neck.In fact, he didn't know when he started, and he was faintly stimulated by the secret meeting.

Chu Jing suddenly felt a strange sensation at the back of her neck, as if... being sucked? !He was startled, and immediately turned his upper body to one side! "What are you doing?!"

When Chu Jie met Chu Jing's eyes, she felt a little embarrassed. "No, nothing."

Chu Jing sighed helplessly, broke away from his embrace, turned around, looked at him seriously and said: "You are not young anymore, I know that you may sometimes have some sprouts in your heart, but let me tell you, don't put I'm a maid, don't you have maids in your palace?"

Chu Jie was taken aback, and it took a long time to understand what Chu Jing said. His face turned red instantly, but his eyes were full of grievances, "I, I never regarded you as a woman, and I don't want a maid, I said However, I am only good to you, Jing'er, and no one else..."

Chu Jing's heart skipped a beat, why did she feel something was wrong?

No, no, it's definitely because Chu Jie's expressive ability has some problems that make him sound wrong!They are "brothers", how could it be possible... Chu Jing suddenly thought of his clumsy "gender change" statement back then. Back then Chu Jie was ignorant of the world and was easy to fool, so he covered it up.Now all grown up...

Chu Jing's heart panicked instantly, Chu Jie might have known that he was not really "Chu Jing"!He is fake!What would Chu Jie think in his heart?

"Jing'er?" Seeing him in a daze, Chu Jie shouted, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Jing came back to her senses, met Chu Jie's pure eyes, and felt slightly relieved.Maybe Chu Jie really believed it all along?If you knew he was fake, you should have asked him a long time ago.

"No, nothing." Chu Jing smiled, "By the way, what were we talking about just now?"

"..." Chu Jie felt that his grievances at that time were ignored, and he felt even more aggrieved, "No."

"Okay." Chu Jing nodded, walked to the table, picked up a small pastry, "Do you want to eat?"

Chu Jie looked at Chu Jing, then at Chu Jing's hand, then nodded, "Yes."

Chu Jie felt better after eating the cake with Chu Jing's hands.

☆, in the plan

Blessings never come, but misfortunes never come singly.One wave is not flat, and another wave rises again.

The rumors between Chu Jie and Chu Jing have not subsided, and Chu Jie is in trouble again.

From the age of 15, Chu Jie began to make some memorials and learn to deal with political affairs.After the coronation, the memorials obtained were more important than before, and Chu Jie was more cautious in handling them.

Two months ago, a memorial reported the disaster in Qizhou and requested the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.Qizhou is located in a remote place with relatively harsh conditions, and often needs the support of the imperial court.This kind of thing is not uncommon at first, but this year the weather is good and the local disasters have been greatly reduced, but Qizhou has been bankrupted several times this year!Chu Jie became suspicious, so he sent patrol officer Chang Zhenglian to quietly enter Qizhou to investigate the situation.

Ten days later, Chang Zhenglian came back and reported that the situation in Qizhou was indeed not optimistic, and the people did not have enough food and clothing.When Chu Jie heard the words, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Chang Zhenglian was sent by him privately, and he was an upright person, so there must be no problem.He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and approved the donation.

When Chang Zhenglian was about to say goodbye, he secretly slipped a note to him. Chu Jie opened it and saw that it read "Night Discussion."

That night, Chu Jie skillfully changed her clothes, slipped out of the palace, and went to Changfu.

Chang Zhenglian had a serious face, and the first sentence was: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the water in Qizhou is very deep."

Chu Jie frowned slightly, "Why did you say that?"

"When I came to Qizhou, I found that the land was not cracked. I asked the local people, and they all said that it had just rained heavily a few days ago. I also checked other things, and found that the local people are really living in poverty." Chang Zhenglian His brows frowned, tending to stand upright, "It seems that there is no problem on the surface, but I found that whenever I spoke to a person, that person's facial muscles would tense unnaturally, his eyes flickered, and his eyes flickered. Li seems to be a little scared. At first, the minister thought that he had met someone who was more shy, but later he realized that something was wrong."

Chu Jie snorted, "Then?"

"The people there seem to be guarding something and covering up something. At that time, Chen felt that everyone was acting. As for why they were acting..."

"Someone knew about the unannounced visit and threatened them."

The room fell silent.

After a while, Chu Jie said, "Chang Zhenglian."

"exist!"

"This matter, check."

"Yes!"

If that's true, it's certainly not going to be simple.Someone who can threaten the entire state is definitely not easy, and the things to be covered up are not trivial!

When Chu Jie was about to leave, Chang Zhenglian suddenly said: "Your Highness, you asked me to investigate this matter, who else knows?"

Chu Jie paused and immediately understood what he meant.He sneered: "I will solve this problem."

The fact that he sent Chang Zhenglian to investigate Qizhou is supposed to be known only to the two of them, but who can say that the walls have no ears?

Afterwards, Chang Zhenglian complained of illness and recuperated at home, but actually went to Qizhou for investigation.There was nothing to be found in the news that came, until a month later, the news said: The prefect of Qizhou seems to be secretly cultivating an army.

Chu Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a rough guess.

However, after that news, Chang Zhenglian never heard from him again.Soon there were rumors about him and Chu Jing, which annoyed Chu Xing.

Then, right now, there was a sudden news that Chang Zhenglian, the inspector, had colluded with the prefect of Qizhou and embezzled tens of thousands of money in the name of disaster relief!

Chu Jie's hand, which was practicing calligraphy, paused, and the ink on the brush smeared on the paper, ruining the entire calligraphy.

Yin Hong looked at Chu Jie worriedly, "Your Highness?"

Everyone in the court knew that Chang Zhenglian belonged to the crown prince.Now that something happened to Chang Zhenglian, the prince will definitely be implicated!

Chu Jie picked up the brush and put it on the inkstone.He put down the sleeves that were rolled up for writing, and walked out of the desk.His face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or sad.

"Your Highness?"

Chu Yu bypassed Yin Hong and walked towards the door. Yin Hong's gaze followed him, and he also turned around.

"Yin Hong." Chu Yu walked to the door and stopped suddenly, "What happened to the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"

"Eh?" Yin Hong didn't expect him to ask this question at this time, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "Well, there are so many people, some people can't tell how they heard it. So..."

"En." Chu Jie seemed to respond indifferently, and then stepped out the door.

Yin Hong frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

It was Zou Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who brought back the news.As Chang Zhenglian's deadly enemy, Zou Yun is also an upright person.Maybe it's because of homosexuality.

Zou Yun said that he heard that Chang Zhenglian was recuperating from illness, but he felt that Chang's residence was unusually peaceful, and he couldn't help suspecting that Chang Zhenglian was not sick.He came to visit, but was turned away, which made him want to investigate Chang Zhenglian.

"The minister has abused his power—this matter is at the disposal of the emperor—the minister found out that Chang Zhenglian had left the capital more than a month ago, and then got information that Chang Zhenglian had arrived in Qizhou." Zou Yun frowned slightly, "Chang Zhenglian went to a small place like Qizhou for no reason, which made the minister even more concerned. So he took someone to investigate Qizhou without authorization, and it turned out that the prefect of Qizhou embezzled countless local donations!"

Zou Yun tightened his clenched fists, "The magistrate of Qizhou was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he confessed to Chang Zhenglian and brought his ministers to Chang Zhenglian's residence."

Chu Xing looked coldly, "Where is Chang Zhenglian now?"

"Youchen is locked in prison."

"Bring it up."

"Yes."

When Chang Zhenglian was brought up, he didn't look like a prisoner except that his clothes were a little dirty and his hair was a little disheveled.

He was pushed to kneel down, and his knee hit the floor with a "boom"!But he didn't change his face, he raised his head, still looking upright, and looked at Chu Xing squarely.

"Chang Zhenglian, I always thought you were honest and honest, but I didn't think that you were just a layman who was looking for money."

"Your Majesty, since I entered the court for 30 years, why is every opinion put forward by me not for the sake of the people?" Chang Zhenglian suddenly felt amused, "Now, because of an unsubstantiated accusation, is the Emperor going to convict the minister? "

"Yes." Zou Yun, who was standing aside, said suddenly. He stared at Chang Zhenglian, paused every word, as if he was in trial, "There is evidence."

Zou Yun stepped forward and presented an extremely thick ledger. "This is the record of the amount of corruption and the sharing with Chang Zhenglian by the prefect of Qizhou over the years. I found it from his study when I searched the prefect's mansion. It is impossible to fake it."

Chu Xing flipped through it, then threw the ledger in front of Chang Zhenglian, and said with a sneer, "Take a look, what else do you have to defend?"

Chang Zhenglian looked at the open ledger, then laughed, the laughter was half stuck in his throat, making a low "cuckoo" sound.

It's been tricked, he and the prince have been targeted from the beginning of their actions!Everything is planned, just wait for him to fall into the trap, and then implicate the prince!

They are all too careless.

☆, incompetent

Chu Jie was expected to be seen by Chu Xing, so when Wu Shun appeared in the East Palace, Chu Jie walked over directly, "Let's go."

Wu Shun glanced at him, then lowered his head, "Your Highness, please."

When I arrived at the imperial study, I unexpectedly found that Chu Xing was alone. "I have seen my father."

Chu Xing got down from his seat and stood in front of Chu Jie with his hands behind his back, "I never thought you would be as tall as I am."

Chu Jie was taken aback, Chu Xing continued
