After coming out of the palace, Chu Nanyue went to the yamen.

Zhang Song seemed relieved to see Chu Nanyue coming back safe and sound, and then asked, "General Chu, ......what does the emperor mean?"

"The officials at that time were all punished, but King Yu only punished a small punishment and a big commandment." Chu Nanyue smiled bitterly.

While this sound good, it was a far cry from what she had expected.

Zhang Song was not too surprised, and said: "General Chu has been away for too long, and he probably doesn't know the relationship between the emperor and His Royal Highness King Yu. ”

"How?" Chu Nanyue asked.

When it comes to matters in the court, Zhang Song is still well versed in it.

Zhang Song deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the emperor values His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Sixth More much, but they are all sisters-in-law, as it should be." Compared with His Royal Highness King Yu and His Royal Highness King Qi, it is very different. They are all concubines, but Concubine Duan has always been favored, and King Yu himself is also the best at pleasing the emperor. ”

"So after the death of the crown prince, His Royal Highness the Sixth is not in Beijing, and the emperor is naturally focused on His Royal Highness King Yu." Chu Nanyue continued.

Surprise flashed in Zhang Song's eyes: "Since General Chu knows it, why bother ...... today?"

"No, I only noticed it today when I watched their father and son talk." Chu Nanyue said calmly.

Today she was still too unprepared, she was all guessing before, but it wasn't until she saw the emperor's appearance when he got along with Dongling Hong, whether it was his eyes or expression, she completely understood.

Perhaps this time the incident stopped in time and did not cause great harm, so the emperor turned a blind eye and did not want to dig deeper after all.

"Lord Zhang, there is no need to mention the matter of King Yu, there is a serious matter, and the emperor has already handed it over to me again." Chu Nanyue said.

She looked at Zhang Song's frowning brows, but still said: "The emperor handed over the matter of building the embankment to me again, but I don't know enough about Pingjiang after all, and it seems that I still have to trouble Lord Zhang more." ”

"General Chu, where is this, it is incumbent on the lower officials." Zhang Song couldn't refuse, so he had to say politely.

Chu Nanyue explained the matter, and asked Zhang Song to discuss the follow-up construction of water conservancy with the people of the Ministry of Industry, and then returned to the general's mansion.

She entered the General's Mansion, and Qingshuang came out to greet her with a worried face, and said in a low voice: "General, the Xu family is here." ”

"People from the Xu family?" Chu Nanyue said.

It was only a few hours before Dongling Hong was punished in the palace, and it was probably because Concubine Duan got the news and was worried, so she sent someone to tell the Xu family.

But what are the people of the Xu family coming to her for now?

"Who's coming? Have you ever seen one? Chu Nanyue asked.

If it is said that Donglinghong's maternal grandfather, Marquis of Pingchang, Qingshuang often comes to pick her up outside the palace and returns to the general's mansion, probably has seen it.

But Qingshuang shook her head and said, "Look at Miansheng, but he is very young." ”

Chu Nanyue thought of someone in her heart, she didn't ask anymore, and walked into the hall by herself.

I saw a man in a white robe, sitting on the seat, getting up and saluting her: "This is General Chu, right?" Xu Qingchang met General Chu here. ”

Yes. Although this person has never seen Chu Nanyue, Chu Nanyue has not forgotten his appearance.

He is the son-in-law of the Xu family, Xu Qingchang, who made a marriage contract with Chu Nanxin in the previous life.

Seeing him salute, Chu Nanyue pretended not to know him, and asked hesitantly, "......Who is this son?"

"Xia Guan Xu Qingchang, he only served in the Ministry of Rites recently, and General Chu can't recognize Xia Guan, and it should be." Xu Qingchang said with a smile.

Chu Nanyue pondered his tone, it was clearly not like he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but the identity of the Xu family was here, since she had offended Dongling Hong, she would inevitably offend the Xu family, and she couldn't figure out his intention for a while.

"Then I don't know Lord Xu, why did you come to our mansion today?" Chu Nanyue sat upright and motioned for Qingshuang to make tea for Xu Qingchang.

Xu Qingchang took the tea, but he didn't have the patience to drink it, so he only said: "General Chu, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yu was punished by the emperor because of you?" ”

Before he could say a few more pleasantries, he went straight to the point. Chu Nanyue felt that this was more refreshing, but it made her more relaxed, so she also said: "That's right, the Xu family sent you here today, is it to ask the teacher to ask for guilt?" ”

Chu Nanyue's eyes were calm: "But let's talk about it first, I have no personal grudges with His Royal Highness King Yu, and this time it is not aimed at him, and I hope the Xu family will understand." ”

"The Xu family didn't mean to blame General Chu." Xu Qingchang said, "My cousin's style of doing things, we all understand that although it is because of General Chu today, we can't blame General Chu completely. ”

"What do you mean by Lord Xu coming?" Chu Nanyue was strange.

Xu Qingchang seemed to be difficult to speak, but after all, he said: "General Chu is now able to speak in front of the emperor. The Xu family's meaning was to let General Chu come forward and ask His Royal Highness King Yu for a favor, so as to save him from thinking about it behind closed doors for a month. ”

Tanglin Hong has always had a good face, and this matter was handled in private, and most of the ministers of the DPRK and China did not know about it. Even if the officials under Tanglin Hong are demoted, there will be a lot of speculation, and they will not know the whole truth.

But once Dongling Hong was confined in the house and did not go to court for a month, the situation was very different.

Over the years, the Xu family, with the situation stabilized by Concubine Duan and Dongling Hong, will probably be reversed.

You must know that although all the ministers of the DPRK and China have their own princes who support, it is easy to change candidates for various reasons.

Although Chu Nanyue could understand what Xu Qingchang meant, she couldn't help but let out a laugh: "Lord Xu is saying that I originally denounced His Royal Highness King Yu, and now I am asked to intercede with His Royal Highness King Yu and let the emperor alleviate his crimes?" ”

"Exactly. General Chu is really smart. Xu Qingchang hadn't sensed the strangeness in Chu Nanyue's tone yet.

"I'm sorry, the Xu family's request, I, Chu Nanyue, forgive my fate!" Chu Nanyue's eyes were cold, without a trace of hesitation.

How much effort did she take, and how much risk she had, to let Tanglin Hong have such a small punishment now.

And the Xu family just thought about the benefits of the family, so they wanted her to come forward and slap themselves in the face.

"General Chu couldn't help but refuse too quickly." Xu Qingchang's tone was dissatisfied, "The Xu family naturally won't let General Chu suffer. General Chu's garrison on the outskirts of Beijing is very short of money, and so is the General's Mansion. If General Chu agreed, the Xu family would compensate General Chu. ”

His attitude was arrogant, and his eyes when he looked at Chu Nanyue were also high.

"General Chu is aware of current affairs, and I believe that General Chu will agree." Xu Qingchang smiled at the corner of his lips.

"It's a pity that Lord Xu is wrong." Chu Nanyue didn't show any mercy and directly denied it.

I don't know where the Xu family got their confidence, and they would think that she could easily agree.

"Chu Nanyue! The Xu family has not pursued what you did to His Royal Highness King Yu today, which has already given you enough respect. Xu Qingchang's face changed, "Do you really want to offend my Xu family?" ”

"I, Chu Nanyue, don't want to offend the Chu family." Chu Nanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, "However, I don't want to offend the people of Tanglin." ”
