Chapter 44 Entering Beijing to Announce

"Dad, tomorrow morning, you can take your daughter with you." Chu Xiaoxiang glanced at King Tai'an and said thoughtfully.

King Tai'an frowned, women generally can't participate in political affairs, he took Chu Xiaoxiang to the early dynasty Yu etiquette is not in agreement, but the regent can't ignore it.

"Dad, you will tell the emperor when the time comes, saying that your daughter has something to do with the corruption in Chuzhou, and the prince is unwell and cannot come, so he will be replaced by his daughter." Chu Xiaoxiang said to King Tai'an seriously.

King Tai'an sighed and nodded with difficulty, now he is on the side of the regent, and now the regent is punished by the emperor, no matter what, he has to save it.

"Okay, dad knows, you can stay here tonight, and tomorrow morning you will go to the morning court with your father." King Tai'an thought for a while, and then said with determination.

Chu Xiaoxiang bit her lip, Helian Chen is still in a coma in the palace, will it be bad if she doesn't go back tonight, no one knows Helian Chen's situation now, only a few people who dig their hearts still know that.

In the end, Chu Xiaoxiang still decided to stay, Tao Yao and Zhuohua are in the palace, Helian Chen's life does not need to worry for the time being, tomorrow is the key, no matter what, Chu Xiaoxiang has to enter the palace.

The next day, King Tai'an took Chu Xiaoxiang into the palace together, and did not let Chu Xiaoxiang show up before the early dynasty, but let her stay outside the palace, and she could not enter the main hall without the emperor's summons, which Chu Xiaoxiang understood.

Chu Xiaoxiang, who had been waiting outside the hall, didn't know what was being discussed in the hall, Helian Rongxu calmly looked at the group of ministers under the seat, and his head hurt a little.

The father-in-law beside Helian Rongxu glanced at Helian Rongxu, coughed a few times, stepped forward and said loudly: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

The ministers looked at each other, and King Tai'an stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to play!" ”

"Accurate!" Helian Rong narrowed his eyes, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, the power of the King of Tai'an should not be underestimated, although he has now mastered the power, but he still has to be afraid of the power of the Tai'an Palace, most of the military power is still in the hands of the King of Tai'an, and there is no way to take it back for a while.

Moreover, Chu Xiaoxiang, the daughter of King Tai'an, married the regent Helianchen as a concubine, and joined forces, so he had to let Helian Rongxu attack Helianchen who watched him grow up.

"Regarding the case of corrupt officials in Chuzhou, the little girl has already had a result, and I ask the emperor to allow the little girl to go to the palace to make a report." Although King Tai'an did not speak loudly, he could hear all the ministers in the palace clearly.

King Tai'an clearly saw a trace of gloom on Helian Rongxu's face, and now all the ministers have heard it, if he doesn't announce Chu Xiaoxiang's entry into the palace, I'm afraid those ministers will be suspicious.

"Xuan!" Helian said with a calm face.

The father-in-law beside him said loudly to the outside of the hall: "Princess Xuan Regent Chu Xiaoxiang has entered the palace!" ”

Chu Xiaoxiang, who had been waiting outside the hall, turned around suddenly and strode into the main hall, and all the ministers looked at Chu Xiaoxiang who walked in and whispered.

"Courtiers see the emperor." Chu Xiaoxiang squatted, her crisp voice sounded throughout the hall, she raised her eyes to look at Helian Rongxu with an indifferent face, and her heart sank.

"I heard that the princess regent has something to say, is it true?" Helian Rongxu asked coldly, with an inexplicable ominous feeling in his heart.

Chu Xiaoxiang smiled, there was no wave on her face, it seemed that such a scene could not bring her any pressure and fear, ordinary women would have been scared to the point that their legs would have weakened when they came to this kind of place.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers came to explain the case of corrupt officials in Chuzhou, and secondly, to avenge the prince, he is not unfavorable, but for another reason." Chu Xiaoxiang said with a smile.

King Tai'an glanced at Chu Xiaoxiang vigorously, questioning the emperor in public was nothing more than a collision with him, the royal dignity could not be insulted, how could she save Helian Chen like this.

Sure enough, when Helian Rongxu heard Chu Xiaoxiang's second thing, his face became even more gloomy, in order to suppress the power of King Tai'an and the regent, he finally found such an excuse, but unfortunately it was mentioned by Chu Xiaoxiang in public.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 28 officials involved in the Chuzhou corrupt official case, including Chuzhou county officials and provincial prefects." Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Helian Rongxu without humility or arrogance and said.

All the ministers were indignant when they heard this number, and many civil officials stood up and accused Chuzhou county officials and others of their evil deeds, but they were all frightened back by Helian Rong's eyes.

"Now that the investigation has been cleared, is there any evidence to prove that what you said is true?" Helian asked in a deep voice.

Originally, everyone thought that what Chu Xiaoxiang said was so humble or arrogant, it must be because there was evidence and ironclad evidence, and these people couldn't refute it.

But who would have thought that Chu Xiaoxiang just shook his head and replied with some disappointment: "Back to the emperor, the ministers are incompetent, on the way back with the prince, I met a group of assassins, all the human evidence was killed, and all the physical evidence was destroyed, and there was nothing left." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, who was so bold that he dared to assassinate Helianchen, the regent of the dynasty, and it was also a pity that the evidence was destroyed like this, and the witnesses were all dead, and there was no proof of death, which was a bit troublesome.

Chu Xiaoxiang saw that Helian Rongxu did not speak, and continued: "But fortunately, we found something from a dead assassin at that time, and we can use this thing to find the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang was very clear and satisfied to see a trace of panic on Helian Rongxu's face, it seems that it is right, this must be the assassination designed by Helian Rongxu.

"So, I'm wrong to blame the regent?" Helian asked in a deep voice.

Chu Xiaoxiang didn't say anything right, nor did she say anything wrong, she just looked at Helian Rongxu without saying a word, she knew that in front of so many civil and military officials, Helian Rongxu could only withdraw his punishment for Helian Chen, and had no choice.

"In that case, then I will retract the punishment I gave to the regent and reward him with a hundred taels of gold." Helian Rongxu pursed his lips, although he was very reluctant, but there was no way, if these civil and military officials didn't know, he could still do it, but these civil and military officials saw it, if he still punished Helian Chen, it would inevitably chill the hearts of these courtiers.

What's more, Chu Xiaoxiang still has his handle in his hand, if they really find out that it was him who did it, it will be equivalent to the two sides tearing their faces and officially declaring war, and his current power has not yet reached the point where he can compete with the king of Tai'an and the regent.

This Chu Xiaoxiang was a little interesting, and specially picked it to talk about this matter in the early dynasty, he thought that she would enter the palace through Chu Zhiyun's way and tell him about it, but he still underestimated this woman.

Chu Xiaoxiang smiled, relieved in her heart, she didn't have much demand for these rewards, after all, as the regent princess and the daughter of the king of Tai'an, she was not short of this money, as long as Helian Chen's punishment was withdrawn, it was not a joke.

"The courtier took her leave first." Chu Xiaoxiang, who had already completed the task, felt very relaxed, and after exiting the main hall, he felt that today's sun was exceptionally good.

Helian Rongxu stared at Chu Xiaoxiang's back, a trace of heat flashed in his eyes, this woman gave him too many surprises, he had the psychology of wanting a woman for the first time, it seems that he can't let her stay by Helian Chen's side anymore, he wants to snatch her over!

Chu Xiaoxiang, who returned to the palace, was in a happy mood, and as soon as she entered the palace, she asked Tao Yao about Helianchen's injury, and Tao Yao told her that Helianchen had woken up and there was nothing serious, and the doctors had come to see her.

"Tao Yao, you go to Zhuohua's side to take a look, Huo Zhao's injury is not light, let's see if Zhuohua needs help." Chu Xiaoxiang found an excuse to take Taoyao, and she rarely lied, and her face was a little uncomfortable.

Tao Yao nodded, she didn't see the expression on Xiaoxiang's face clearly, she took care of Helian Chen here for one night, and when she heard him call Chu Xiaoxiang's name in her dreams, she was a little envious of her master.

Tao Yao, who came to Zhuohua's side, found that Zhuohua just took a basin of water and walked in: "Tao Yao? Aren't you guarding at the king's place? Why did you come to me, is Miss back? ”

Tao Yao smiled and winked in front of Zhuohua, and whispered: "I secretly told you, didn't I stay by the prince's side last night?" The prince kept calling Miss's name when he was sleeping last night, and today Miss ran to the prince's room as soon as she came back, do you think they are reconciled? ”

Zhuohua glared at Tao Yao angrily, and said: "You, you are really getting bolder and bolder, you dare to discuss the master's affairs in private, if the young lady knows, see how she cleans you up." ”

Tao Yao smiled, stretched out her hand and scratched her hair and said, "Miss usually loves us the most, so she won't punish us, she asked me to come here to help you." ”

Chu Xiaoxiang walked into the room, just in time to see Helianchen sitting on the bed, holding a book in his hand, reading it with relish, seeing her come in, Helianchen just smiled.

"Coming back?" Helian Chen put down the book in his hand, crossed his hands on his lap and said.

Chu Xiaoxiang saw that Helian Chen was fine, the stone in his heart finally put down, found a place to sit down, and said with a playful face: "Yes, you are okay, it is your fate if you are not killed by those few men in black." ”

Helian Chen sighed and said earnestly: "Xiang'er, you shouldn't meddle in this matter. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, pouted, tilted his head to the side, and said weakly: "You can't care about this matter at all, as Princess Xiang, I just don't want to be involved by you, don't think too much." ”

A suspicious flush rose on her face, her eyes were erratic, she didn't dare to look directly at Helian Chen because of her weak heart, did she really want to tell him that he intervened because of him?

Helian Chen pursed her lips, shook her head helplessly, and laughed for a moment, did this stupid girl think he couldn't see her kindness? It's just that he didn't expose him either.
