Chu Qingruo smiled, she overestimated Zhang Jizu, he came to her because of the word "Qingtian", but what if she wasn't?

"Okay, if what you say is the truth, then you will write down the names of all the people related to Zhang Hong's cheating and hand them over to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple will catch Zhang Hong's murderer for you."

Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, whether there was a push behind it, Chu Qingruo felt that it was worthless to continue to interrogate, so he took care of him a few words, stood up and walked out of the cell.

Li Shaoqing, who had been listening outside the door, saw her walk out and hurriedly greeted her and asked. When Chu Qingruo saw him, he spoke: "He didn't tell the truth, at least half of it didn't tell the truth. ”

Li Shaoqing was stunned: "Is it the reason for surrender that makes adults suspicious?" ”

Chu Qingruo thought carefully for a while, straightened out his thoughts, and then spoke: "First of all, he said that he was chased and killed, but there were no scars or damages on his body, and his clothes were neat, so he really didn't look like a person who fled for his life. ”

Li Shaoqing nodded: "Second?" ”

Chu Qingruo said: "Second, with him alone, he doesn't know martial arts, how did he escape from a large group of Demon Sect killers, as well as the officials who pursued him?" ”

Li Shaoqing said: "It's really suspicious. Anything else? ”

Chu Qingruo walked out of the cell with him, Xu is sunlight stung her eyes, she squinted her eyes and said, "His biggest suspicion is that he came to the General's Mansion to surrender!" ”

Li Shaoqing asked, "This ...... Where is the suspicion? ”

Chu Qingruo said with a smile as he walked: "I was ordered to go on patrol, and everywhere I went was the first time to sit in the court to try the case, and the hunt on behalf of the sky has not yet ended, and I haven't returned to Beijing to report on my work, how does he know my name 'Qingtian'?" If he hadn't followed me all the way, how would he have known about my achievements before he could have lived? ”

Li Shaoqing suddenly realized: "No wonder he went back to the General's Mansion and surrendered, because he was sure that the Demon Sect was eradicated by adults, and no one chased and killed him, so he ......"

Chu Qingruo stood at the gate of Dali Temple and bowed his hand to Li Shaoqing: "That's right, so I'll bother Shaoqing to interrogate slowly and carefully!" I'll take my leave! ”

Li Shaoqing hurriedly replied: "This is natural, adults go well, as soon as there is news, someone will notify the adult." ”

Chu Qingruo smiled and asked him to stay, and then boarded his own carriage.

As soon as he opened the carriage curtain, he saw Fu Lingyun sitting in the carriage with Fu Tieyi in his arms.

I haven't seen him for a while, Fu Tieyi's body has grown a lot taller, and when he is taller, he looks thinner.

Chu Qingruo was a little distressed when she hugged her son, feeling that she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and treated the child badly: "Radish, why are you here?" ”

Fu Tieyi rubbed his head in Chu Qingruo's arms, and said angrily: "They said that my mother came back last night, I don't believe it, my father made a bet with me, I'll see if it's true." ”

Chu Qingruo was sad for a while, she took care of the homes of the people in the world, but she let her son taste loneliness at a young age.

"Tieyi, my mother happens to be fine today, do you want to go where to play, my mother and father accompany you?" Chu Qingruo, who had always been calm, faced his son and suddenly said impulsively.

Fu Lingyun smiled, pulled the iron coat from her arms and said, "Yes, Dad will accompany you too!" ”

Tie Yi hugged his neck in surprise and looked at Chu Qingruo: "What my mother said is true?" Not deceiving? ”

Although Chu Qingruo had a smile on his face, he had already burst into tears in his heart: "Really, I won't lie to you!" ”

Fu Tieyi raised his two little hands and cheered: "Okay, then my father and mother will accompany me to the school!" ”

Fu Lingyun frowned: "Daddy has already taken leave from his master, why do you still want to go to the academy?" ”

Fu Tieyi lowered his head, fiddled with the corners of his clothes and whispered: "I want them to see, I am a child with a father......

"Who said that about you?" Chu Qingruo was a little angry.

Fu Tieyi hurriedly threw himself into her arms to comfort her: "Mother, don't be angry, I've already taught them a lesson!" ”

The carriage moved forward slowly, and a man's calm and serious voice came from the carriage: "Fu Tieyi, my father said that you can't beat people!" ”

Then came the naughty child's voice: "I didn't hit anyone? They hit my fist and fell on my feet! ”

The man couldn't say anything about the child's sharp teeth: "You! ”

A woman's voice sounded: "Okay, it's rare to have a family reunion, Wenyuan, you don't want the boss to have a face, and you, Fu Tieyi, your father is right, it's always you who are wrong to do it with your classmates in the school......"

When the pedestrians on the road passed by the carriage, they clearly heard the conversation of a family of three, and all of them showed a smile on their faces.

The carriage left the capital and arrived at the Mandarin Duck Lake.

Looking at the scenery as before, Chu Qingruo remembered the past and said to Fu Lingyun: "Wenyuan, why don't we take the iron coat to the lake!" ”

Fu Lingyun smiled: "Okay! "Reaching out and beckoning a flower boat.

The flower boat docked, put down the plank, Fu Lingyun carefully escorted Fu Tieyi onto the boat, turned around and stretched out his hand to Chu Qingruo.

Fu Tieyi took a boat for the first time, running and jumping on the deck in a novel way, Chu Qingruo looked at him like this, and couldn't help laughing, as soon as he handed his hand to Fu Lingyun, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the sound seemed to be coming at them.

Instinctively looking back, he saw Deshun running over on a horse, and before the horse could stop, he turned over with a grunt, staggered to Chu Qingruo, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother's dictation, Xuan Prime Minister Chu Qingruo entered the palace to see the driver!" ”

Chu Qingruo's hand stopped in mid-air, and his face was stunned. Fu Tieyi also quieted down at the bow of the boat, and looked at Chu Qingruo pitifully along the edge of the boat.

Fu Lingyun hurriedly walked onto the boat in three steps and two steps, picked up Fu Tieyi, and said to Chu Qingruo: "It's okay, I'm here, you go!" ”

Chu Qingruo pressed the guilt in his heart and boarded the carriage. In the distance, Fu Tieyi's crying voice was heard from the flower boat that had set sail, and the sound was like a steel needle, piercing her heart.

After entering the palace, Deshun led her to the door of the queen mother's bedroom, and when he left, he took care of her with something in his words: "Prime Minister Chu, our family and adults have known each other for many years, so naturally we don't have so many scruples when we speak." However, the Queen Mother's old man lives in the harem, and she only hears her name to adults, but she has never had a deep friendship, so if the Queen Mother says something for a while, adults must remember that she is the mother of your emperor's brother, and please take care of it more! ”

Chu Qingruo savored Deshun's words while watching him leave, thoughtful in his heart.

"Lord Chu, the Queen Mother is invited!"

A well-behaved little maid led her in.

Chu Qingruo saw a graceful and luxurious, dignified old woman sitting behind the curtain.

"You are Chu Qingruo?"

The Queen Mother's voice sounded a little displeased.

Chu Qingruo replied "yes" in his mouth, but he quickly thought about what the Queen Mother was looking for him.

"You are the first female official of our dynasty, you should act with self-discipline and discipline, and don't smear the emperor's face. You must know that the emperor was under pressure from all sides to appoint you as prime minister. ”

The Queen Mother's speech was not fast, but Chu Qingruo heard the taste of "angry and corrupt" from between the lines, and couldn't help but be surprised, why is this?

"Empress Dowager, the queen has arrived!"

The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a palace maid.

After a pause, the Queen Mother waved her hand: "Announce her in, let's listen together!" ”

After a while, Queen Cheng Yujiao walked in worriedly.

After meeting the Queen Mother, after getting the seat of the Queen Mother, he sat on one side and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "Queen Mother, the concubine has recently got ......"

"Let's not talk about this first, this is my amazing female prime minister, Chu Qingruo, Lord Chu, can the queen recognize it?" There was a hint of irony in the Queen Mother's words.

The queen's smiling face froze suddenly, and she replied with a dry smile: "The concubine and Lord Chu have known each other for many years, so they know each other. ”

"Humph! Sure enough, I recognized it. It's really like like to gather and people to divide into groups! The Queen Mother snorted heavily, and her tone became more and more unkind.

The queen and Chu Qingruo glanced at each other, the former had helplessness in his eyes, while the latter had a questioning face.

The Queen Mother said again: "Lord Chu, you are an official in the court, do you know what Jungang is?" ”

After Chu Qingruo pondered it, he cautiously spoke: "The above, the face of the people." ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "If the superior has no queen, can he set an example for all the people?" ”

Chu Qingruo understood the queen mother's intentions almost instantly, it turned out that she thought that there was only one queen in the harem, and the heirs were thin, so she wanted to persuade the queen to accept the harem and spread the branches for the emperor's brother.

"Queen Mother! (Queen Mother)"

Empress Cheng Yujiao and Chu Qingruo spoke almost at the same time.

But the queen mother didn't let them speak: "The emperor doesn't want to take a concubine, so you all let him?" Empress, don't say you don't know the emperor's mind, the mourning family is not old and confused. ”

When the queen heard this, her face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she leisurely turned her gaze to Chu Qingruo's face, which was still beautiful as if time had been forgotten by the years.

Where is the emperor who is reluctant to accept a concubine because he is in love with her, he, he is clearly ......

Chu Qingruo looked inexplicable by her, but she had to kneel there respectfully and quietly listen to the Queen Mother's words, and the three women fell silent for a while.

"Long live the ride!"

Deshun sang a promise loudly, breaking the silence between the three people.

The Queen Mother patted the handrail at her hand, and said in a weird manner: "Long live the news is really well-informed, it comes so fast!" Are you afraid that the mourning family will eat the queen or Lord Chu? ”

"The queen mother laughed, the son has been busy with official business these days, and he has neglected the queen mother, and he is here to make amends today." Mingzong stepped into the dormitory with a smile, deliberately pretending to see Chu Qingruo, and asked in surprise: "Why is Lord Chu also here?" That's a rarity! ”

Chu Qingruo smiled bitterly: "The minister came to listen to the teachings of the Queen Mother today." ”

Mingzong raised his hand, ordered someone to lift the curtain, strode over, sat down beside the Queen Mother, put one hand around her waist, and put a high hat on her with a smile: "Oh? The Queen Mother's teachings? Then you have to listen carefully, the queen mother can be called an example for all women in the world, virtuous and virtuous, you two should learn more from the queen mother in your words and deeds on weekdays! ”

The queen and Chu Qingruo knelt together and said "yes".
