In the imperial study room, Chen Jin hurried back on tiptoes and embellished Xiao Chen's attitude.
Greedy for money, lustful, unmotivated, without desires, a typical useless person who has brains but no use for them...
Chen Jin's words were too exaggerated. Chu Yanwu retracted his gaze from the scroll and glanced at him sternly: "If he is really as useless as you described, how could he have come so far safely?"
Chen Jin was a little frightened and quickly lowered his head. The air was so quiet that it made people forget to breathe.
Chu Yanwu stood up slowly and looked at the increasingly darkening sky, with a hint of coldness hanging from the corner of his mouth.
He said frankly: "I think Xiao Chen is more like a useful knife, as long as it can cut wood."
"Used properly, it is a good weapon for me to overcome thorns and overcome all difficulties!"
Chen Jin flattered him repeatedly: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
Chu Yanwu turned his head: "Compared to Xiao Chen's matter, I am more curious about how the investigation of Concubine Shu went?"
Chen Jin did not dare to neglect, and quickly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has been staying in Zhao Xifeng's military camp recently. She has never left, and she has not found anything unusual."
"Just this morning, Zhao Xifeng personally sent Concubine Shu back and found nothing wrong."
Chu Yanwu's expression was dark and unclear, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
After seeing no response for a long time, Chen Jin plucked up the courage and took the opportunity to propose: "Your Majesty, the Zhou family is now in a doomed situation. Unless there is nothing abnormal over there, should we release Concubine Shu?"
There is no evidence in itself, and Concubine Shu is a concubine, so being used to her all the time has some influence.
Chu Yanwu finally had some reaction.
He was also thinking about releasing him just now. Chen Jin was worthy of being the most valued eunuch around him, and she actually expressed his thoughts.
In this case, Chu Yanwu followed the trend and nodded dullly: "Then let him go."
"Haosheng took good care of her. She has really been wronged these days."
"Let her make some preparations by the way. I will go see her tonight."
As the emperor, Chu Yanwu naturally felt that the favor he showed to the women in the harem would be something they could never ask for and would be grateful to them.
Just sleeping with them is the greatest comfort.
Everything is arranged.
After an hour, thinking that Concubine Shu was ready, Chu Yanwu drove to Concubine Shu.
However, as soon as I arrived, I saw that Concubine Shu's originally bright palace had lights being extinguished one by one.
Chu Yanwu frowned, what happened? Was the news not informed in place?
Concubine Shu didn’t know she was coming?
Chen Jin felt embarrassed for him. "Your Majesty, this..."
When Chu Yanwu went out, he specially took a rose bath. When he was waiting to find the child, this was the only result.
After a moment of surprise, Chu Yanwu regained his composure and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and let me know."
He still strode towards Concubine Shu's bedroom with rapid strides.
Under the eunuch's care, the extinguished candles lit up again one by one.
Concubine Shu was sitting on her seat, neatly dressed and made up, and she didn't look like she was going to sleep.
So, she knew she was coming and turned off the lights just now on purpose. Is she rejecting herself in disguise?
Chu Yanwu stepped forward. He hadn't seen him for a few days. His delicate and tender face seemed to be stained with a little grievance, which made people feel distressed.
Chu Yanwu smiled and hugged her shoulders: "What's wrong, are you still angry?"
Concubine Shu's body was agile and she stood up magnificently. Her hand instantly rose into the air, seemingly having nowhere to place it.
"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well today and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep with you. Please go back."
Concubine Shu sat somewhere else again, clearly deliberately being cold, distancing herself from him, and widening the distance between the two of them.
The candlelight in the palace swayed slightly, originally thinking about the ambiguous relationship between men and women, but now it seemed a little cold.
Chu Yanwu felt that he had lost face, but he also knew that he had locked her up first.
After all, it was his problem, so he could only patiently step forward and continue to comfort her: "My beloved concubine, you know, I have no choice but to do so."
"If those things happen, there's nothing we can do about it. I can't remain indifferent."
"Besides, after we find out that there is nothing wrong with you, we won't let you go immediately."
Chu Yanwu turned around, licked the smiling face again and said, "Look, I have specially arranged it today in order to see you. I bathe with your favorite rose scent."
As he spoke, he approached Concubine Shu.
I saw Concubine Shu cast a soft look: "What Your Majesty said is nice, but have you ever thought that if it weren't for the Zhao family, I would have died long ago!"
When experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he may not be so attentive, it is nothing more than an afterthought.
Chu Yanwu paused in his steps, and she immediately stood aside with just one sentence. There was no place to put her enthusiasm.
"Then tell me, how can I make up for my debt to you and make you feel better?"
This sentence is much more practical than what he said about washing with rose scent.
Concubine Shu turned her head, looked at him sadly with her eyes, and murmured: "If your Majesty really feels guilty, why not reward Zhao Jieyu directly."
"Give this favor to her directly."
No matter how I heard this, I still felt like I was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Chu Yanwu's smile froze on his face, and he was a little annoyed. He didn't give him any face!
After all, he took a rose bath on purpose, but as if he was humiliating himself, he came over and was in trouble.
For a moment, he felt a little depressed, and his temper was no longer so groveling: "Okay, you said it yourself, then I will favor Zhao Jieyu!"
After all, he is the king of a country. What does it mean for a goddess to be controlled like this by a woman?
He waved his sleeves and strode away.
"That ungrateful woman, if I favor Zhao Jieyu to be pregnant with a dragon seed today, I won't regret it after seeing her!"
Little did they know how comfortable Concubine Shu felt after confirming that Chu Yanwu had left in the dragon chariot.
She used to beg for favor, but now she seems to not care, as if her heart is filled with something else.
The beautiful face in the mirror, while her thoughts were racing, turned into Xiao Chen's look!
For a moment, she actually had a desire to see Xiao Chen impatiently.
On the brow of the moon, Chu Yanwu's dragon chariot landed at the entrance of Zhao Jieyu's palace again.
Along with the little eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"
Inside the palace, men's and women's clothes were mixed, bellybands were scattered on the floor, and the scene was messy and ambiguous.
The bed was boiling with heat, and this burst of shrill voices almost scared Xiao Chen to the point of shrinking!
"Fuck! Why is the emperor here!"
