There was a hint of worry on Concubine Shu's face.
Although she very much hoped to go out for a walk with Xiao Chen and relax.
Or you can also look at the mountains of gold and silver he mentioned...
However, Concubine Shu knew one thing.
Now she is no longer a free person, but an abandoned concubine in the cold palace.
She bit her lip, and then Xiao Chen said:
"Ji Hongluan told me something before..."
When Xiao Chen heard Concubine Shu suddenly mentioning Ji Hongluan, his eyes became a little surprised, and he raised his eyebrows and asked:
"What did Ji Hongluan say to you?"
Concubine Shu smiled bitterly:
"She said that when she was in the palace today..."
"Then Zhou Tianfu told the emperor what happened between you and me in order to anger the emperor and make the emperor suspicious of you!"
What she said was very clear.
She was just worried that Chu Yanwu would suspect her and Xiao Chen...
And if she was not in the palace, she would really be able to jump into the Yellow River to wash herself away.
Xiao Chen heard this and knew what Concubine Shu meant:
"You don't have to worry about this. What's there to worry about?"
"You and I can just go and relax!"
He knew that now that the overall situation had been decided, Chu Yanwu would not fall out with him so easily.
But Concubine Shu was still worried:
"But no matter what!"
"Chu Yanwu is both a man and an emperor...how can he allow his woman to have problems?"
"Even if he didn't say it blatantly this time, he probably sent someone secretly to investigate..."
Concubine Shu indeed thought things through.
And Chu Yanwu did indeed do this.
But Xiao Chen laughed, he stroked Concubine Shu's hair, and gently kissed Concubine Shu's forehead:
"Do not worry……"
"Don't worry about this. There will be no danger in a short period of time."
"Even if I dump this cuckold on his head, he won't do anything."
Concubine Shu had some doubts in her eyes and asked tentatively:
"Then what do you mean..."
Xiao Chen didn't point out the matter completely, he just said something vaguely:
"Which one should I choose between Jiangshan and Beauty? Chu Yanwu knows it very well!"
He is now the sharpest knife in Chu Yanwu's hand.
How could Chu Yanwu be so bored and find him unhappy?
Wouldn't that mean throwing away your weapons? He wouldn't be so stupid!
After Concubine Shu heard this, her heart moved slightly and she understood a little bit.
She smiled softly:
"If you say that, I understand!"
"But you still have to be careful, after all, this court is changing rapidly."
Xiao Chen nodded and said to Concubine Shu:
"But this mountain of gold and silver cannot be seen now."
Concubine Shu suddenly felt a little depressed:
"Then what are you talking about at this time..."
Xiao Chen laughed:
"I still think this matter is interesting, so I want to talk to you about it in advance!"
"But madam, you don't have to worry, we can go see the mountains of gold and silver tomorrow night."
Concubine Shu’s pretty face turned red:
"Then tonight we..."
Xiao Chen held Concubine Shu in his arms and walked quickly to the bedroom:
"Of course I have a good time..."
Early next morning.
In the court.
All major and minor matters have been reported, and Zhang Dongyang stepped forward:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Everyone focused their attention on Zhang Dongyang.
This guy copied all the three provinces and six books some time ago... and has become like a lone star in the sky.
None of the civil and military officials wanted to know how to deal with him, let alone make trouble with him.
Chu Yanwu, on the other hand, had a smile on his face:
"Zhang Aiqing, tell me if you have anything to say!"
Zhang Dongyang’s tone was sonorous and powerful:
"This person Zhou Tianfu intends to rebel, bring trouble to the palace, and commits great crimes!"
"In the court, there are also direct descendants of his party members... If he is not eliminated, there will be no peace as long as he is not eliminated!"
"I sincerely request your Majesty to allow me to investigate this matter thoroughly and uproot the traitors of the Zhou family!"
After saying this, everyone present felt uneasy even if they appeared to be unmoved.
Zhou Tianfu, as the current prime minister...all the civil and military officials present were more or less related to him.
How this henchman decides is not Zhang Dongyang’s decision alone!
What if this guy has evil intentions and wants to take the opportunity to develop a case or eliminate his enemies...?
But Chu Yanwu smiled slightly:
"What Zhang Aiqing said is true!"
"The traitor Zhou Tianfu has been an official for decades and has served as prime minister for nearly twenty years. There must be his followers in the court!"
"These people are the biggest hidden danger, we must not keep them, the nights will be long and we will have many dreams!"
Xiao Chen clicked his tongue in his heart as he listened.
Chu Yanwu may have had this intention for a long time... However, Xiao Chen didn't think Zhang Dongliang would preside over this matter so easily.
After all, he had plowed through three provinces and six ministries before... If he took charge of this matter again, he would probably become a living king of hell that would scare all civil and military officials.
Chu Yanwu hesitated for a moment, stroked his beard, and said:
"Actually, I think Zhang Aiqing is a suitable person!"
"I allow you to preside over the investigation. At the same time, the Ministry of Punishment, Honglu Temple, and Dali Temple will fully cooperate!"
Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly.
But then he thought about it, Chu Yanwu was so happy, he also wanted to use Zhang Dongyang to check and balance him!
Zhang Dongyang almost beamed with joy and quickly bent down and said:
"Your majesty is wise, I will do my best to eliminate your worries!"
Some officials at the scene looked both uneasy and envious.
Although the credit for wiping out the rebels is not as good as the previous rescue efforts of Xiao Chen and Zhao Xifeng, if it is done well, it will definitely be a great credit!
After this, Zhang Dongyang may be able to compete for the position of prime minister and assistant!
At this time, Chu Yanwu also smiled and turned his attention to Xiao Chen and Zhao Xifeng:
"In the previous rebellion, General Zhao and Xiao Aiqing also contributed a lot. They can be called the heroes of our great Chu!"
"In particular, Xiao Aiqing can be said to have turned the tide and saved me from the fire and water. She should be well rewarded and should set an example for internal supervisors!"
All civil and military officials felt a little sour when they heard this.
And now an official who is temporarily acting as the Minister of Rites said:
"Your Majesty! When are you going to reward those two people? I, the Ministry of Rites, should make preparations in advance!"
Chu Yanwu smiled slightly and said thoughtfully:
"How to reward... You, the Ministry of Rites, have only three days to decide how to reward General Zhao!"
"As for Xiao Aiqing, I have already asked him what he wants and rewarded him with gold, silver and jewels!"
In fact, Chu Yanwu is also versatile.
He didn't tell everyone that Xiao Chen was rewarded with three million taels of gold...
In fact, he didn't really think about Xiao Chen.
It's just that he wanted to show that he was "for Xiao Chen's own good".
