Chapter 32
Lin Xingzhi's joy was beyond words, and his bright eyes were shining, which made Chu Zhao curl his mouth unconsciously when he saw it.
"Well, here we come," Chu Zhao replied.
Lin Xingzhi first ordered Shi Yan to bring lunch, and then sat across from Chu Zhao.
Chu Zhao poured water for him, his movements were very natural.
After Gudu Gudu drank a glass of water, Lin Xingzhi asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Chu Zhao nodded, "I'm done, I'll see you when it's still early."
It's not sweet talk, but it's a pleasure to listen to.
Lin Xingzhi moved the stool and sat closer to Chu Zhao, and asked about his body, "It's been a long time since you recuperated and you've been running around outside, is there any other discomfort?"
"Is it because I'm worried, or because I feel sorry for this king?" As soon as the person got close, Chu Zhao began to move his hands and feet, touching his head, scratching the bridge of his nose, and wanted to pinch his face.
Being patted away by Lin Xingzhi, he said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not your toy, be more honest!"
"Well, it's my princess, not a toy."
Chu Zhao leaned closer to his ear, "Didn't you read the script and learn new tricks to use on my king? Why not?"
"Is it because I haven't teased you enough?"
Lin Xingzhi glared at him, "Shut up!"
Somewhat dissatisfied, the secret guard eavesdropped on what he and Xu Wenyan said, and told Chu Zhao everything. Lin Xingzhi felt that he had to set rules for them.
"Little shy," Chu Zhao hooked his fingers and continued to tease him.
Lin Xingzhi didn't come back from the teasing, but just opened his mouth and bit his finger, afraid that he would actually bite him too hard, so he looked embarrassed, as if he was holding Chu Zhao's finger.
Seeing Lin Xingzhi's actions, Chu Zhao said with a smile in his eyes, "So the princess likes this."
Meeting that playful look, Lin Xingzhi instantly understood what he was talking about, and his ears turned red.
Lin Xingzhi quickly spat out Chu Zhao's fingers, and in order to cover up his embarrassment, he deliberately poohed twice, showing disgust.
Chu Zhaodang didn't see it, but raised his hand to look at it, and said in an envious tone: "I didn't expect to let this finger of yours take the lead. My king's mouth is not as honored to be kissed by a princess."
"It seems that the king can't wash his hands recently, so that you can keep the smell left by the princess."
Lin Xingzhi blushed even more at what he said, and at the same time he was very disgusted. He took out a handkerchief and grabbed Chu Zhao's hand and wiped it hard, "You are too disgusting!"
Chu Zhao admitted, "It's a little bit, so let's kiss. I don't want to wash it, but I don't know if the princess is willing to fulfill this little wish of this king?"
"Dream!" Lin Xingzhi answered His Royal Highness Li Wang's "wishful thinking" behavior in two words.
Chu Zhao began to pretend to be disappointed, Lin Xingzhi didn't want to make trouble with him anymore, and asked if he arranged what happened today.
When it came to the business, Chu Zhao stopped messing around and said, "Most of them are coincidences, only you are not."
"Chu Qin and Sun Yushan did such a thing in Qianfo Temple, don't the people in the temple know? Don't care?"
This is an act of tarnishing Buddhism.
Chu Zhao explained: "It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't dare to. Chu Qin once killed the novice who bumped into him in the Thousand Buddhas Temple. In order to protect the lives of everyone in the temple, the abbot could only pretend not to know, and even sent people to stop him from making mistakes. incoming pilgrims."
And Chu Qin dared to be so bold, all because of Emperor Jianyuan's protection and connivance.
If the matter breaks out, I'm afraid that Emperor Jianyuan will not only punish Chu Qin, but also condemn Qianfo Temple for slandering the prince.
Lin Xingzhi: "You took the initiative to find Fang Zhang?"
"Well," Chu Zhao nodded, "I don't want to keep him anymore."
What Chu Zhao said, it seemed that Chu Qin's life or death was all in his mind, very arrogant.
But Lin Xingzhi didn't doubt it at all, and said, "It's true that he shouldn't be kept." They had the same idea.
"You can blame me for involving your Lin family," Chu Zhao asked, with nervousness in his eyes.
Just as Lin Xingzhi was about to answer, Shi Yan came with food.
After the dishes and chopsticks were all set on the table, Lin Xingzhi served Chu Zhao with a bowl of soup first. Seeing the tension in his eyes gradually showing on his face, he smiled slightly.
"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, the trafficking of people is probably related to Chu Qin."
Lin Xingzhi used an affirmative sentence. Chu Zhao said earlier that he had found a clue, but now he suddenly attacked Chu Qin. The matter is not difficult to guess.
Chu Zhao did not deny it.
Lin Xingzhi said conveniently: "So there is no connection. When my father's memorial was sent to the capital, the Lin family has long been inseparable."
"But... the king ordered someone to deliver it to your father and brother..."
Lin Xingzhi interrupted him, "Is the prince regretting it?"
Chu Zhao shook his head, "No," if he did it again, he would still do it.
Lin Xingzhi touched his wrist, "So why should the prince say that you are involved or not? Without your arrangement, no one knows how long it would take to find out that the people were trafficked, and how many people died."
"And what our Lin family does is to protect the family, defend the country, and protect the safety of the people. It is a mission and a responsibility. My father and brother will not abandon the people just because they are afraid of getting involved."
"Me neither, I always believe in you."
Lin Xingzhi said to Chu Zhao very seriously, "My lord, in fact, you are a very soft-hearted person. You are kind and kind. The Chu family and the court treat you badly, but you have never angered innocent people, especially the common people. "
This was the first time in Chu Zhaoping's life that he heard such a compliment, saying that he was soft-hearted, kind, and a good person.
Chu Zhao thought it was funny, but at the same time he was at a loss. Is he considered a good person?
A man with blood on his hands.
Lin Xingzhi saw what he was thinking, and he took Chu Zhao's hand, "The prince is different in my heart, no matter what others think of you, I will always believe in you, and I will never change it in this life."
Very solemn promise.
There was heat in the palm, and it was still a little itchy. Chu Zhao came back to his senses and saw Lin Xingzhi was blowing on his palm. Before he asked, Lin Xingzhi raised his head and smiled at him, "Blow it to you, just Stop thinking about it."
Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing, "The last time I tried to tease you, I didn't get such good treatment, but today it's really different. I'm so affectionate to me, it's very rare for me."
It's really serious, but Lin Xingzhi didn't take his words, and continued to talk about Chu Qin, "If he doesn't want to get the people's ideas, he will compete with the crown prince and King Qi for the throne, and maybe his life will be longer."
Speaking of this, Lin Xingzhi thought of his previous life. Chu Qin was also short-lived. Not long after the people-trafficking incident, Chu Qin fell ill.
No need to guess, it must be Chu Zhao's handwriting. He is not Emperor Jianyuan, and he will not indulge Chu Qin in the slightest. So how could he let go of such things that are inferior to animals.
Lin Xingzhi wanted to praise him again, but he was afraid that this person would say some shameless words again.
"That's right, with his shit-stirring stick, Chu Mu won't be staring at me all the time," Chu Zhao said in a regretful tone.
Everyone thought it was impossible for him to inherit the throne, and the few courtiers who supported him were all generals, but the mother and son regarded him as a thorn in the flesh, and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
Sure enough, he did all the bad things, too guilty.
Lin Xingzhi brought food for Chu Zhao, and said, "It's okay, anyway, he's not our opponent. If you have revenge, you have to avenge it yourself, so that you can comfort the dead."
When Chu Zhao heard the words, his eyes fell on Lin Xingzhi for a while before he hummed. He felt that Lin Xingzhi seemed to know, but he thought it was just a coincidence.
"But didn't the concubine say that she wanted to take revenge on the king? Don't you want to admit it again, you heartless man!" Chu Zhao didn't press the question, but began to act coquettishly.
Hearing what he said, Lin Xingzhi successfully choked on a grain of rice, so the acting like a baby came and went quickly, leaving only the sound of Lin Xingzhi coughing behind.
His Royal Highness Li Wang, who did bad things, was pouring tea and feeding soup, and he was also very busy. Afterwards, he had to face Lin Xingzhi's condemning eyes, and he dared not speak.
Seeing Chu Zhao's aggrieved and dare not speak expression, Lin Xingzhi laughed out loud, "My lord, you are so cute."
"Much cuter than me," Lin Xingzhi launched the first anti-molestation, which was a bit nondescript, but he was very satisfied.
After all, if he can praise Chu Zhao's cuteness today, and kiss him tomorrow, he will improve.
Chu Zhao still doesn't know what kind of ambition is hidden in Lin Xingzhi's heart. If he knows, he will definitely cooperate and lie down.
When the two of them are together, they don't have to do anything, just gossip and feel that time flies by.
After eating lunch until late afternoon, Chu Zhao hurriedly left and returned to the palace before dark, while Lin Xingzhi sat at the desk, propped his head on his hand to admire the jade.
That jade was given to him by Chu Zhao, saying that it was the token of love, and that the previous one couldn't be on the stage, so he could just wear it casually.
He hadn't returned the gift yet, and he had already received two tokens of love. Lin Xingzhi was a little embarrassed, but he was also very happy. He looked at the jade pendant over and over again, and felt hot when he touched it.
In the end, it was Shi Yan who came to urge him to sleep, so he carefully put away the jade, planning to look at it when he came back from work tomorrow.
……
The next day, the affair between King An and Sun Yushan at the Qianfo Temple, together with the fact that King An almost strangled Princess An after his adultery was exposed, spread among the people, and the people talked about it again, most of which were about King An and Sun Yushan The two disrespected gods and Buddhas, fearing that they would be punished by heaven, and then lamented the pity of Princess An.
And there was another group of scholars who claimed to be scholars, all the scolding was given to Sun Yushan, and they even wrote poems and articles to explain her shamelessness.
Sun Yushan became the number one among these people, and all kinds of extremely insulting and vulgar words were used on her. The other party, Wang An, became a romantic, with a lot of good fortune, which was enviable.
Even Qi Shurong became a jealous woman in their mouths, saying that if she hadn't refused to allow King An to take a concubine, why would King An steal food outside? The reason for the current situation is ultimately because the princess is jealous .
This is the true reaction of many men in this world when they look at women.
On the other side, Father Qi knelt down in front of Emperor Jianyuan after the morning court, and begged him to order An Wang to divorce his wife. The high fever persisted.
Qi's father was crying with snot and tears, and said that there was only one daughter. He and his old wife almost sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Now he just wants to ask his daughter for a letter of divorce, so that she will die completely. Heart.
Qi's father didn't mention the fact that King An almost strangled his daughter to death. This would make Emperor Jianyuan feel that his courtiers were reminding him that his son was a murderer. Chu Qin is still a good prince with a gentle personality, affection and filial piety in the eyes of others.
Fate is different from person to person. Slaves and fools are nothing more than a cheap life, so it doesn't matter if a few people die.
But the courtier's daughter was still Chu Qin's own concubine. If Chu Qin killed him, not to mention that he had to punish Chu Qin to give the Qi family an explanation, even the courtiers would look at Chu Qin differently.
This is what Emperor Jianyuan didn't want to see.
Now the Qi family is going to ask for a divorce letter because of such a trivial matter as their daughter being choked. Although Emperor Jianyuan was displeased, he felt that the Qi family was quite sensible and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.
Emperor Jianyuan didn't expect Chu Qin to do anything, he just wanted him to live a happy and comfortable life. Anyway, now his mind is not on the daughter of the Qi family, so if it is another princess, it is not impossible to give the divorce letter.
Of course, Emperor Jianyuan did not readily agree, he only said that he would mention it to Chu Qin, let Chu Qin make his own decision, and then sent Qi's father away.
Chu Qin was quickly recruited into the palace, and was reprimanded by Emperor Jianyuan. He also heard that the Qi family came to ask for a divorce letter, and he only wished that he didn't strangle Qi Shurong to death yesterday.
Chu Qin left the palace with a gloomy face, and when he returned home, he wrote a letter of divorce and sent him to Qi's mansion.
The letter of divorce was extremely simple, with only two words of letter of divorce on the first line, and the huge four words in the middle - Bitch, die, and then there was only Chu Qin's private seal.
When the Qi family saw the letter of divorce, Qi's father sighed and said that he had misread it, Qi's mother cried and said that her daughter's life was miserable, and Qi Shurong's brothers and younger brothers were filled with righteous indignation and scolded King An for being nothing.
Qi Shurong was stunned for a while after seeing the contents of the divorce letter, but soon wiped away his tears and smiled, no matter what he wrote, as long as it was the divorce letter.
From then on, she had nothing to do with Chu Qin, let alone the result of thinking about it all night after reading the note.
There is no need to reconcile, just divorce, this world is unfair to women, but people always have more sympathy for the weak.
What she wants to win is that little sympathy.
The news quickly spread to various families who were concerned about this matter. Some were thoughtful, some were indifferent, and some praised this as a smart and courageous woman.
Only Chu Qin didn't know that from the moment he wrote the letter of divorce, he was not far away from seeing Lord Yan.
