"Father, the sons and daughters definitely don't mean this, the father, the sons ......" Hearing the emperor say this, Chu Hongze realized that the emperor was really angry, so he tried his best to explain.

"Okay, don't say anything, from today on, you will be grounded in your Rui Wang's Mansion, when you figure it out, when you will come out again." The emperor interrupted Chu Hongze's words in time, and the meaning was already obvious.

When Chu Hongze heard this, the words that came to his mouth suddenly stopped, and he couldn't say it anymore when he blocked it in his throat.

The emperor had anger in his eyes, watching Chu Hongze mess around in front of him for a woman, making up some nonsense, just to prevent him from punishing her, this really shouldn't be something that a prince should do.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Chu Hongze deeply, his eyes were cold and terrifying.

Then, the emperor waved his sleeves away with a black face, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military prostrated three times to send him off.

On the empty hall, Chu Hongze stood in place, exuding a terrible aura all over his body, so that the little eunuch standing on the side did not dare to step forward, for fear that he would offend Chu Hongze by saying something wrong, and finally lost his life inexplicably.

Chu Hongchen, who was still on the side of the main hall and watched the play, looked at Chu Hongze's decadent and desperate appearance, and was in a good mood for a while.

He is different from those little eunuchs, he stayed and didn't leave, just to humiliate Chu Hongze, I saw him walk in front of Chu Hongze leisurely, and said in a gloating tone: "Chu Hongze, for a woman, why bother?" Okay now, is it worth it for you to provoke your father to ground you? There are so many women in this world, why should you lose your identity as a prince for a woman? ”

After speaking, Chu Hongchen smiled three times with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and left with elegant steps.

On the main hall, Chu Hongchen's triumphant laughter echoed, and Chu Hongze, who was humiliated by Chu Hongchen, raised his eyes coldly, looking at the dragon chair on the high platform, his eyes were deep and vague, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He didn't understand why everything had become like this, why Chu Hongchen, who was obviously supposed to be a traitor, would return to the palace, and his father forgave him so easily, which made him unable to figure out why......

After a long time, Chu Hongze withdrew his gaze and turned away with cold eyes.

After hurriedly returning to the palace, Chu Hongze immediately went to find his master Qi Lao and told him what had happened recently.

"Master, when I went to court today, Chu Hongchen told me what had happened recently in front of my father, and after hearing it, my father immediately issued an order to punish the Wen family and Ruyi, in order to help the Wen family get rid of the crime, I was also grounded by my father's anger, master, we are now ...... What now? Chu Hongze sat in front of Qi Lao, the expression on his face was very bad, and he blamed himself a little, it was all because he was not good, why did he go to Mu Zirong, and then he would be arrested, otherwise Wen Ruyi would not have fallen into Mu Zirong's hands in order to save him, and he was to blame for everything.

Thinking of the recent things that caught him off guard, Chu Hongze couldn't help frowning and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, look at what you look like now, don't worry about this matter for the time being, don't meddle, leave everything to the master to deal with, otherwise with your current state, it will only make your father more and more angry, and the prince's affairs, you must keep an eye on it, this prince doesn't know what method he used to return to the palace, so you must be careful."

Qi Lao looked at Chu Hongze, who was very decadent and defeated in front of him, and there was a mixture of anger, disappointment and distress in his heart.

"But, master......" Chu Hongze opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Qi Lao.

"But what is it, you also said it, now the emperor has a big opinion on you, and he has banned your feet, if you make a rash move now, it will only provoke the emperor to have more and more opinions about you, and when the time comes, Chu Hongchen will take advantage of the situation, and you will be unlucky." Qi Lao frowned, looking very displeased, since he met Wen Ruyi, Chu Hongze has become more and more unpleasant, and sometimes he is too impulsive, and he doesn't consider the consequences of things at all.

"In my opinion, it's okay for the emperor to grounded you, lest you do something that is not brainy, you are a child of the royal family, and now you are in such a grim situation, you have so many responsibilities, but it is indeed a good thing to have someone you like, but if you like it too much, it will be bad, think about it yourself." Qi Lao looked at Chu Hongze's unenlightened appearance, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, looking serious.

"No, master, I'm not so big that I like someone and I get carried away and ignore everything. I also know where I am now and the current situation, and naturally I still have the responsibility on me, but now, Ruyi is in the hands of Mu Zirong, and now Mu Zirong wants to marry Ruyi with such fanfare, I am afraid that he will attack Ruyi, and he is likely to have some ulterior secrets. Chu Hongze frowned and said to Qi Lao, and he was also very anxious.

"Okay, I know, you go and wrap the wound on your head, this matter will be handed over to the master, you must not interfere at all, the master will deal with this matter, you can rest assured in the house for a few days, and wait for your father to dissipate his anger." Qi Lao said strongly, Chu Hongze was not allowed to refuse at all.

Seeing Qi Lao's tough attitude, Chu Hongze knew that this matter was not negotiable, so he had to temporarily agree and turn around and leave.

……

In the evening, Qi Lao was thinking about things on the road, and felt that Zhu Hongze was really still a young man, and he still had to grind it, and he didn't know if what he said before made him understand, he was still a little worried.

From what he knew about his apprentice, he must be in the study now.

After Qi Lao walked into the study, he saw Zhu Hongze sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand and reading there.

Qi Lao stepped forward and coughed, Zhu Hongze put down the book in his hand, and raised his head in some surprise, "Master, you are here to find an apprentice...... Is there something going on? ”

Qi Lao shook his head, seeing that Chu Hongze's state was a little poor, he couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, "It's okay, I'm just coming to see you, have you thought about the things I told you today?" ”

"After thinking about it, the apprentice was indeed too anxious at the time, and he really didn't think about it, and the apprentice will definitely think about it again in the future." Zhu Hongze's tone was a little annoyed, and he also felt that his behavior at that time was really excessive, and many of the things that Qi Lao said made sense, he was indeed too impulsive.

Qi Lao looked at Zhu Hongze like this, and he didn't plan to continue this topic, just change it if he knew his mistakes, there was no need to keep worrying about this point and saying, "Okay, then I don't have anything to do, I'm afraid that you will think about something, so I came to see you." Since you want to open it yourself, I won't say much, rest well, and leave these things to me. ”

After Qi Lao finished speaking, he walked outside, Zhu Hongze originally wanted to send him off with Qi Lao, but Qi Lao waved his hand and refused: "Just go for the teacher, there is no need to send it, you have been quite tired recently, rest early." ”

After Qi Lao went back, looking at the gradually deepening night and the increasingly quiet environment around him, it was already late, Qi Lao just changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

There was only an unknown bug chirping in the low, high-pitched sound that seemed to tell something, but people were used to it, and no one cared.

And in this kind of unusually quiet time, the sound of insects is especially loud, and the things that you usually don't pay attention to at all seem to be revealed in the quiet night, and only by being careful will you not reveal your whereabouts.

Qi Lao walked forward silently, not daring to rest, he was going to go to the palace tonight, since he had promised Chu Hongze that he would help him deal with Wen Ruyi's affairs, he naturally wanted to talk to the emperor first.

Qi Lao relied on his light skills, and soon sneaked into the palace quietly, and was about to reach the vicinity of the emperor's study, when he was suddenly stopped by the sound under the wall.

The guards who had been patrolling the night were standing in the area, and the leader was talking something, but it was too quiet to hear clearly.

Qi Lao leaned against the eaves, thinking that he would wait for them to leave before acting, so he held his breath and listened to the movement below.

After a while, I listened to the footsteps outside and seemed to gradually dissipate.

After waiting for a while, Qi Lao moved his hands and feet and continued to move towards his goal.

Qi Lao found a slightly remote place and slowly groped ahead.

"Oh, that's comfortable!" Suddenly hearing a voice, Qi Lao subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction where the voice was made, and froze a little.

The loud guard looked very young, and his eyes were also meeting Qi Lao's eyes, and after he was stunned for a moment, he immediately shouted while holding his pants: "Someone! Someone's coming! There are assassins! There are assassins! ”

A group of guards who had just dispersed heard the sound coming from this side and immediately hurried over.

Qi Lao originally wanted to escape, but he was called by the guard, and there were many people who came, because he was nearby, so the speed of coming was also fast, and he didn't have time to escape at all.

Qi Lao looked at the guards in front of him a little helplessly, and he didn't plan to run away, but only heard the leader say, "Who is so bold to trespass on the palace!" ”

Qi Lao was vigilantly watched by the people around him, and subconsciously took a step back, and the people in front immediately took a step forward with their weapons, and they were about to arrest him, but at this moment they heard a voice from behind, which made Qi Lao immediately turn around.

"Wait!" Everyone turned around and found that it was the emperor who had come, so they all knelt down.
