Chapter 14: Empty Rejoicing
There was also a look of amazement in Chu Lingyi's eyes, but there was one thing that Chu Ziheng was puzzled by.
After all, Mu Li and Chu Lingyi have also thought about it for so long, but Chu Lingyi doesn't seem to know Mu Li at all.
Chu Lingyi used to be the fifth prince of the god of war who terrified the enemy on the battlefield, and many courtiers supported Chu Lingyi as the crown prince.
It's just that Chu Lingyi didn't want to be the crown prince, plus he was not born to the Queen Mother, but was just fostered by the Queen Mother, so the throne was still passed to his son-in-law Chu Ziheng.
Despite this, the Queen Mother has still been afraid of it over the years, worried that the dispute between the crown princes at that time would break out again, and Chu Ziheng's throne would be in jeopardy.
The German relationship between Chu Lingyi and the Queen Mother is not incompatible, but a struggle for the throne has alienated the mother and son.
Chu Ziheng has always trusted Chu Lingyi, and the relationship between the two brothers is very good, but the Queen Mother is still worried.
So that's why Mu Li, the daughter of a household shangshu, can become Chu Lingyi's concubine, while Prime Minister's daughter Lin Feiyue can only be a side concubine.
After the birthday, Chu Lingyi and Mu Li got into the carriage back to the house, and now Mu Li can be said to be refreshed.
I got the reward of the Queen Mother, and I can also get my own letter of resignation right away, so I feel happy when I think about it.
"Lord, you can give me the letter of resignation when you go back today."
Chu Lingyi didn't speak, Mu Li's most urgent thing now was to take the letter of resignation and leave the palace, free and free.
She looked at Chu Lingyi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, but it was as if he hadn't heard anything, could it be that he was going to repay the debt again?
"The big husband is out of his word, and the horse is hard to chase! Chu Lingyi, don't play tricks on me, this girl is in a hurry, give me the letter of resignation as soon as possible, and it's over......"
Mu Li persuaded Chu Lingyi in front of him, and only stopped after seeing Chu Lingyi frowning and opening his eyes.
It's just that Chu Lingyi seems to be very angry now, his eyes are full of anger, and Mu Li doesn't understand.
You're still angry, obviously you said you were going to give me a divorce, why is it now that I'm stalking?
Mu Li stared at Chu Lingyi, this time in terms of momentum, she Mu Li couldn't lose, success or failure in one fell swoop.
"Didn't you cry and shout before and not take the letter of resignation? Why are you in such a hurry now? ”
Chu Lingyi's tone was full of coldness, and he stared at Mu Li deadly, as if he wanted to make a hole in her face.
"It used to be, and now it's now, if I want to take a break now, you can give it to me quickly, so that we don't have to torture each other and look unpleasant, and you can live a happy life with your little wife!"
Mu Li was originally stared at by Chu Lingyi, but when she thought that she would be able to fly away tonight, she was confident again.
Mu Li is completely like a little lion now, not afraid of Chu Lingyi in front of him at all, and even wants to overpower Chu Lingyi.
The eyes are aggressive, it seems that it is inevitable, but Chu Lingyi is not so easy to fool, he just doesn't want to give a letter of resignation now, and this Mu Li in front of him is much more interesting than before.
"You didn't want to give it to you so many times before, and now you want me, do you have to give it to you right away?"
Saying that, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Chu Lingyi hooked his lips and smiled, leaving only a back for Mu Li, who was staying in place.
"Princess, it's here!"
Liuyun looked at Mu Li, who was sitting in place, and reminded in a low voice, looking like this, he should have been deflated by his own prince.
After Mu Li reacted, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and walked back to Zhuyuan quickly, greeting Chu Lingyi all the way.
"This stinky man who doesn't keep his promises!"
"I obviously said it, but now I regret it, why didn't this Mu Li take his letter of resignation earlier, so that he doesn't have to be like a debt collector every day!"
The more Mu Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he returned to Zhuyuan, he began to sleep with his head covered, originally thinking that this time he would have to pack up his things, but now it was empty joy again!
When Chu Lingyi returned to the study, he was also unhappy, how could he be so disgusted now, only he Chu Lingyi disliked other people's share, and now it has become like this.
"Lord Wang, the informant!"
Liuyun hurriedly walked in, holding a note in his hand, and Chu Lingyi, who heard the news, also had a serious face.
He knew that the news came at this time, it would definitely not be a good thing, and Liuyun handed the news to Chu Lingyi.
Chu Lingyi's brows furrowed more and more, what he had guessed before was really right, but such a big thing as betraying the military intelligence was definitely not just a few small soldiers who had the courage to do it.
"Let's go, go to the Criminal Department!"
Chu Lingyi, who had just returned, once again set foot on the road to the Criminal Department, and he was going to inquire in person today.
The stakes are high, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise there may be even greater chaos later.
"Recruit or not!"
The sound of whipping resounded in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, accompanied by a burst of low groans, and a man covered in blood was now tied to a pillar and tortured.
As long as the place of the Criminal Department is in, it is basically impossible to get out, and it is light to take off a few layers of skin.
The man in front of him had a bloody face on his face, his head drooping as if he had lost his life, but his eyes were still half-open and struggling to support him.
"Lord Wang!"
When they saw Chu Lingyi, several tortured jailers stopped their movements and saluted towards Chu Lingyi.
Xue Ping had already come to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the people in front of him still didn't recruit after the punishment.
Chu Lingyi signaled, and the person who had just been tortured began to continue the movements of his hands, and the man in front of him would be woken up again after fainting.
But every time they were just right not to let him die, the man had been subjected to this cycle, and the physical torture and pain made him unbearable anymore.
There is never a shortage of prisoners in the criminal department, and the people who move the torture have also experienced ups and downs, so naturally they will not let a person die worthless.
In the end, the man in front of him was still recruited, and Chu Lingyi had been sitting in front of him during the period of torture, and had never left the promulgation.
At this time, Chu Lingyi's eyes were full of indifference, cold without a trace of temperature, as if he was on the battlefield in the past, and the man in front of him was a defeated enemy.
"The day after tomorrow...... At noon, cough-cough-broken temple outside the city! ”
Chu Lingyi looked at the man in front of him, thinking about it, he had to lure out the people behind the scenes, and there was only one person who could do this, and that was Mu Li.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingyi returned to the palace, and at this time it was already dawn, and Mu Li saw Liuyun's figure when he was having breakfast.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Li was angry when he saw the people and things related to Chu Lingyi now, and there was anger in his words.
"Princess, the prince asked me to invite you to the study!" Liuyun said respectfully.
"Why? I'll go if he tells me to go! ”
