As soon as Chu Tianze heard Fu Che's words, he looked at Fu Che with a stern face, not like he was gentle on weekdays. It seems that the situation is stricter than imagined, and the sword eyebrows are frowned. opened the secret letter neatly, and it turned out to be Chu Tianyou's handwriting. Chu Tianze's heart sank, and it seemed to be related to the great drought in the north. The more he looked down, the darker Chu Tianze's face became.

Fu Xuan also felt a chill on the side. looked at Fu Che, hoping that he would reveal something inside, but Fu Che just shook his head sternly.

Fu Che saw that Chu Tianze didn't get angry as he expected after reading it, he only pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, knowing that he was extremely angry, so he could only say insincerely: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ning didn't write it clearly in the letter, maybe the situation is not so bad......"

"Hmph! This matter will only be bigger than expected now!" Chu Tianze snorted coldly, "When will this secret letter be delivered?"

"It was about the beginning of last night, and the person who sent the letter claimed to be King Ning's old acquaintance in the north, and the people in the rivers and lakes, entrusted by King Ning, must do his best to send the secret letter to the Fu Mansion and personally hand it over to the ministers. The man rushed non-stop for two days and two nights to get to Beijing, and couldn't wait for the next day, so he broke into Fu's mansion overnight and handed over the secret letter to the minister. The minister also wanted to inquire about the situation, but he ignored it, only said that he would stay in Beijing for a day, and if there was a reply to King Ning, he would come to pick it up tomorrow. ”

Chu Tianze looked at the words "Emperor Brother Personally Enlightened" in the letter, frowned and said: "The secret letter written by Ayou to me was handed over to you, and there must be an inside story in it. ”

Fu Che thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What the emperor said is very true. His Royal Highness King Ning's secret letter can be directly passed through guò hundred miles to ride, and eight hundred miles can be expedited to the front of the emperor. If it is a secret report, it should also be sent to the Criminal Department to be submitted layer by layer, or it should be sent directly to Yan Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and there is no reason to send it to the servants of the Criminal Department. ”

Fu Che paused and met Chu Tianze's eyes, who gave him a sure look. Fu Che took a deep breath and continued: "Therefore, there is only one possibility, because this involves a wide range of people, including Yan Yi, the second-rank minister of the imperial court, and even the important ministers of the court with higher official titles. The matter is very important, and King Ning can only find the most trusted person to present the secret letter to the emperor. ”

Chu Tianze turned to the side, raised his head to face the light source on the window lattice, put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Fu Xuan looked at Chu Tianze's side face, which became more and more angular under the light. The pursed lips and slightly frowning eyebrows revealed the resentment, worry, and more disappointment under his calm exterior at the moment.

For a long time, when Fu Che and Fu Xuan thought that Chu Tianze would not speak anymore, they heard him say calmly: "Let Ayou control the drought over there, and the people will settle down." Before the matter of the great drought is properly handled, the matter must not be disclosed to the people. If this matter spreads out at this time, the people's anger will not be calmed, and the matter will only become more difficult. It is certain to continue the investigation, but it must be secretly investigated. Let Ayou handle it carefully, check carefully, and report it as soon as there is a clue. I will send a secret guard to deliver news on both sides. ”

"Obey. Fu Che arched his hand, "Your Majesty, there is King Ning over there in the Northland, and he has a solid relationship in the Northland, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out the clues." It's just that on our side, it is not appropriate to make a drastic investigation for the time being, otherwise I am afraid that we will startle the snake. So, can you just stand still?

"Hmph! where can it be so cheap for this group of dumb officials who have no law. Not only must we investigate, but we must also investigate carefully, if this group of court moths is not removed, it is really a disaster for Dachu!"

"Emperor Shengming!" The brother and sister looked at Chu Tianze's back and smiled at each other. A sense of pride arose. This is the friend who grew up with them since childhood, this is the emperor of their Great Chu, he is so Top Gun, so convincing, so admirable.

At this time, Guanguan came out of Changle Palace, and the chief breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Liu looked at Guan Guan's heavy face, and greeted him worriedly: "Miss, why have you been in for so long, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a little stuffy in my heart, let's go back. ”

"Master, don't be in a hurry to go back, you have to go to Wen Jieyu's Baohua Palace, after a delay, we have to speed up our pace!" Yin Qiu pointed to the congratulatory gift that had been prepared in his hand and said to Guanguan.

When Guan Guan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and he was so depressed that he almost forgot about his business. The group hurried to the Baohua Palace.

On the way, Guan Guan met everyone who had returned from the Baohua Palace.

"Yo, Guan Meiren, the shelf is so big, everyone went back to you to come. The concubines below Jieyu all went to congratulate in person, and even Concubine Xian and Concubine Chen also sent people to send congratulatory gifts early, what are you here for?" Wang Yuan asked sharply while staring at Guan Guan viciously. Wang Yuan, she had already found out that Guanguan had not arrived at Baohua Palace. Looking at Wen Xiyue's scenery, she has to pretend to congratulate, why is this unlucky thing missing Guanguan, she is not angry together, Wang Yuan can't look past it!

Guan Guan saw that it was this Wang Yuan again, and he didn't provoke her or offend anyone, why did she keep making trouble for herself? But if you think about it, it's better not to offend people. Besides, no matter what the reason, it was indeed his own late, so he replied calmly: "Wang Meiren, I have just delayed some things, and it is too late, I am now rushing to Baohua Hall to congratulate him and make amends." ”

"You're just a little beauty, what's more important than that!" Wang Yuan sneered. She didn't plan to let Guanguan go like this.

Guan Guan only felt that Wang Yuan, like herself, was just a beauty, so did she look down on herself so much?

Seeing Guan Guan's helpless face, Fang Rou hurriedly came up to relieve the siege: "Wang Meiren, Guan Meiren has always been thoughtful in her work, this time there must be a reason for it, don't ...... it"

"What are you?" Wang Yuan interrupted without waiting for Fang Rou to finish speaking, and sneered and mocked.

Guan Guan saw that Fang Rou was humiliated for herself, and felt guilty. couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to fight back, but Fang Rou pulled her sleeves, Guan Guan turned her head to meet Fang Rou's eyes, only to see her shake her head.

She understood what Fang Rou meant, calmed down, and Guan Guan said coldly: "Wang Meiren, I still have to go to Baohua Palace, if I delay it any longer, if I am to blame, I am afraid that I will not be the only one who will be punished, I will take the first step." After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and walked away.

Wang Yuan was stunned by Guanguan's words, and when he came back to his senses, the person had already gone away. I could only stare at the back viciously.

Guan Guan waited in the Baohua Hall for a quarter of an hour and didn't see Wen Xiyue. Liu Liu was a little impatient, and whispered in Guanguan's ear: "It's obviously in the palace, why don't you come out to meet people, why don't you wait?"

Guan Guan glanced at the girl who couldn't hold her breath helplessly, and signaled Liu Liu not to talk casually in other people's places. Actually, Liu Liu didn't understand, but she did. I came so late, and a proud person like Wen Xiyue would have to let me wait to go back, otherwise, wouldn't it be able to highlight her nobility?
