Chu Nanfeng's always calm eyebrows suddenly flashed with ferocity, and his whole body exuded a strong killing intent.
Zhou Chengzhang, who had always been timid, instead of being afraid, actually laughed: "As a minister, you should know very well who my father is. Regardless of whether he believes it or not, he will not allow the existence of this unparalleled noble daughter to marry someone else. .General, save me, I am the only one who can help you."
At the end of his sentence, his eyes even showed excitement.
But his pride did not last long, as his neck was suddenly strangled.
Zhou Chengzhang's face changed drastically, and he stretched out his hand to pry Chu Nanfeng's hand away, but was unable to do so because he couldn't breathe.
"Your Highness is in prison now, so it's better to be cautious in your words and actions. The other Highnesses, especially His Highness Ninth, may have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
The cold tone can instantly freeze the blood in the human body.
The most terrifying thing was that the expression on Chu Nanfeng's face did not change, and he could not feel the force he used at all. However, Zhou Chengzhang clearly felt that his fingers continued to tighten, making it harder and harder to breathe. In the end, he could only turn over. His eyes twitched.
With a 'dong' sound, Zhou Chengzhang was thrown to the ground like mud, and a large amount of air suddenly poured into his lungs, causing him to cough violently.
At the same time, there were bursts of roaring in his ears, and there were even bursts of hair in front of his eyes, making it difficult to see what was going on around him.
"Your Highness," Chu Nanfeng looked condescendingly at the man lying limp on the ground, "If the entire Prince Qi's Mansion is gone, do you think there is still Prince Qi in this world?"
The natural low sound, like morning bells and evening drums, shattered the tranquility of the air and pierced Zhou Chengzhang's eardrums.
He raised his head suddenly and looked at Chu Nanfeng with fear in his eyes. His lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but he never said it.
In fact, he had no chance.
Chu Nanfeng gave him a cold look, turned around and left.
As soon as he walked out of the prison in Dali Temple, the guard Shadow immediately followed him: "Master."
"Give the evidence of His Majesty Seventh Prince's crime to His Majesty Ninth Prince."
"Yes, Master."
Dare to touch his people? Then you have to think about the price you have to pay.
…
General's Mansion.
Chu Nanfeng looked at the lights still on in the room, and there was a warmth in his eyebrows that no one else had seen.
He opened the door and saw Lin Qingge sleeping on the table.
Shaking his head gently, he closed the door with his backhand and allowed the cold air to dissipate at the door before stepping forward and gently hugging her.
"You're back." She opened her eyes, muttered drowsily, and naturally curled up in his arms, "Are you hungry?"
"If you're not hungry, go to bed early if you're sleepy."
"What will you do if I fall asleep? It's so dark when you come back alone, how pitiful it is."
Is it pitiful?
Chu Nanfeng had never thought about this problem before, but he would not face such a problem now.
Only when he truly felt that the room was dark and there were traces of her everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found, did he truly feel what it meant to be pitiful.
It's a pity that now, he can't feel the depth of this feeling at all.
He carried her to the bedside, put her on the bed, and reached out to help her take off her shoes, but she jumped into his arms and rubbed her head against his chest, like a coquettish cat.
"Why are you ignoring me? I've been waiting for you for a long time, you should praise me."
Ai's charming appearance and soft voice made his heart soften.
Chu Nanfeng hugged her and sat beside the bed, lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "My wife is so wonderful, I will wait for my husband-in-law to come back."
"That makes me sound like a fool."
Lin Qingge curled his lips and yawned: "Why are you coming back so late? Didn't you push Zhou Chengzhang's matter?"
Zhou Chengzhang suddenly attacked Lin Qingge at the Liu family. In addition, the calamity banknotes had been reassigned before. The entire court's attention was focused on Zhou Chengzhang, and everyone naturally thought that he was trying to force the palace to rebel.
The officials who had been close to him were now in danger, fearing that a fire would burn down their property and their lives.
Unexpectedly, he had been very popular before, his biological mother was a beloved concubine, and he had been favored by Emperor Zhou since he was a child. There were as many officials supporting him as crucian carp crossing the river.
As a result, the entire capital was in a state of turmoil.
But Chu Nanfeng, who had rarely had contact with his colleagues, showed benefits.
Even if the matter related to Zhou Chengzhang caused a stir in the city, it had nothing to do with Chu Nanfeng.
He thought of what happened in the Dali Temple prison, and the color of the ink changed slightly, but his tone was as low as before: "He is a future trouble after all. If there is such an opportunity, it is good to get rid of him."
Lin Qingge felt that all the sleepy people had disappeared at this moment.
It was inevitable to get rid of Zhou Chengzhang, but when Chu Nanfeng said these words, she felt something was wrong.
She raised her head slightly and met his inky eyes.
As if he had been summoned, he lowered his head and kissed her eyes: "If you feel sleepy, go to sleep. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"No, no," she shook her head and refused like a child, put her hand on his shoulder, and said seriously, "Chu Nanfeng, tell me the truth. Do you... want to be the emperor?"
The last three words are almost breathy.
It's not that she is timid, but when she thinks of his "ambitious ambitions", she feels that the future loses its color.
She loved him, no doubt about it.
Lin Qingge thought that she was willing to face the wind, frost, rain and snow of this world with him, but sitting side by side with him above thousands of people...
She has no confidence.
In the high courtyard with red walls, beauties bloom like flowers.
Flowers will wither and beauty will age quickly. Who can thrive in such a place forever?
Power, only power can keep that flower-like beauty.
She wants to be strong, but she doesn't want to hold power to check her husband and have a peaceful life.
That kind of life is so falsely beautiful that it makes people suffocate just thinking about it.
The inner uneasiness brought out the fear and uneasiness in her eyes.
He smiled and kissed her eyebrows: "What are you thinking about? I didn't have such thoughts before, I don't want to now, and I won't in the future."
"Then to deal with Zhou Chengzhang's matter, shouldn't Zhou Chengzhang come forward?"
Even though Chu Nanfeng has a very good relationship with Zhou Chenghan and he wants to assist Zhou Chenghan, there are some things that he should not take the lead in.
Things like getting rid of Zhou Chengzhang should have been planned by Zhou Chenghan.
"What's the difference?" Chu Nanfeng's fingers were entangled in her hair, and his deep voice was very clear in the quiet room, "He has always had ulterior motives for you, leaving him with endless troubles. And Concubine An , although I don’t know what her intentions are, but she has harmed you not once or twice.”
His eyes narrowed slightly: "I will not give them another chance. This time I will cut off all their minions."
