The prince and Qin Zongliang were supported by others. They paused for a moment as they limped past Chu Chengyao. With a victor's attitude, they glanced at Chu Chengyao contemptuously and allowed the officials to help them out of the hall.
Chu Chengye put his hands on his waist and walked slowly towards Chu Chengyao with square steps. He spoke words of concern but with a hint of gloating in his tone, and stretched out his hand to pull Chu Chengyao up.
Chu Chengyao thanked me gently, without any hint of defeat or embarrassment:
"Third brother, my lips are broken and my teeth are cold. You and I have a deep love for each other. In order to prevent you from facing the imperial brother alone, I will try my best to return to the court as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Chu Chengye's smile faded a lot. After helping Chu Chengyao stand upright, he left the hall on the pretext of going to see Concubine Xian.
There were only a dozen officials and Uncle Hong An left in the hall. After receiving Chu Chengyao's eyes, they all filed out of the hall calmly.
Chu Chengyao dragged his numb legs and staggered towards the pillars in the palace. He held on to the pillars to ease the numbness in his legs. He glanced at the servants cleaning the palace and saw that no one was looking at him. Chu Chengyao turned around and looked at the dragon chair, deeply Humiliation and unwillingness flashed through his eyes, which were instantly covered by ambition and resentment.
After leaving the palace, Qin Zongliang did not return to the palace. Instead, he went to the Ministry of Punishment to ask for Xue Mo's body, saying that he was a loyal servant who protected the palace with his life and came from the palace to be buried alive.
The Ministry of Punishment was being searched by Dali Temple at this time, and he was too busy to take care of himself. He reported it to Chu Chengyao and got permission to let Qin Zongliang take the body away.
Li also asked the prince to take him out of the Yin Mansion in Jingzhao and free him from slavery. Qin Zongliang paid for it and bought the house and servants to properly resettle him.
There were overt and covert fights in the court, but there was a peaceful scene in Yan Yuxuan.
Lin Jinyan and Feng Siyao sat on both sides of the chessboard, staring at the orderly moves of the chess game. During the breaks, they raised their heads to chat with Lin Wanrong and Wang Huizhao who were recovering from their injuries.
Wang Huizhao sighed: "Oh, I really admire you two for being able to sit there with such interest for so long. No wonder my mother often says that I am unsure."
Lin Jinyan paused, looked at Wang Huizhao, and said with a gentle smile:
"How can there be such a comparison? You have many advantages that I don't have. If you only compare others' advantages that are slightly better than you, aren't you trying to become a saint?"
Wang Huizhao smiled and said: "Jin Yan, how could there be such a good woman like you? She is so attractive, but it's a pity that my brother is married, otherwise I will definitely take you back to be my sister-in-law!"
Thinking of Wang Huizhao often making such jokes with himself recently, Lin Jinyan's eyes flashed slightly and her smile widened by two points:
"You don't have it, but I do. My two brothers are not married yet. If you get married, you can stay with us every day."
Hearing this, Feng Siyao and Lin Wanrong also smiled.
"Jin Yan's words are reasonable. Miss Wang might as well consider it more."
"Yes, Miss Wang, if you can marry me, Yan'er and I will support it with both hands."
Wang Huizhao's pretty face turned red as she was teased by the three people:
"Listen to what nonsense you are saying! Lin Jin'an often comes to this yard. If he hears it, I will never have the nerve to come to the house again! If you want to drive me away, just say it. How can you say this to shame people? !”
Seeing that she mentioned two brothers, but Wang Huizhao only mentioned Lin Jinan, Lin Jinyan understood what Wang Huizhao was thinking, and said with a teasing tone:
"Okay, okay, Siyao and sister, please stop talking. If you scare away my sister-in-law, I won't comply."
"As commanded."
"Listen to Yan'er."
"I'm so embarrassed, you guys are still making trouble!"
