Chapter 180: Present
Chu Yu looked at the sky and the moonlight, the matter of Emperor Chu's personal interrogation should be known to everyone, and Emperor Chu also let Chu Yan go with him after they were asked to jury, there is really a tough battle to fight tomorrow.
But as long as Xiao Yongde is on Xiao Changge's side, there is nothing to worry about.
He heard Wei say that Xiao Changge went out with Chu Yan and Xiao Changle during the Lantern Festival that day, and it was really unexpected that Chu Yan would invite Xiao Changge, Wei said that Xiao Changge and Chu Yan won half a game of chess, probably this half of the eyes attracted Chu Yan's attention to Xiao Changge.
He was really curious about how the half-goal chess game was going to make Chu Yan change his opinion of Xiao Changge.
"Your Highness, it's time to rest."
Seeing Chu Yu sitting outside the lobby, he was still holding the bamboo leaf green brewed by Lao Li outside the city, he never got tired of drinking this wine.
Xu Fubi stood respectfully behind Chu Yu and waited for him to reply, Chu Yu had been sitting outside the lobby drinking wine since the afternoon, and he could smell the smell of wine in the distance when he stood in the distance, which was very smoky.
He leaned against the pillar and looked at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes were misty.
"Steward Xu, go first, this wine can't be wasted before it is finished."
Chu Yu sighed, and took another sip of wine into his mouth, which was sweet and delicious.
"Your Highness, you should also pay attention to your body when it is cold at night, or rest quickly, you will have a jury trial tomorrow."
Xu Fu said distressedly, although he was the housekeeper in the mansion, he had watched Chu Yu grow up, and he had already treated him like his grandson in his heart.
"It's because of the jury that I have to drink it, this wine can be intoxicating, and only when I am drunk will I not think much about some things."
Chu Yu smiled lightly, the moonlight fell on him like a fairy, his long hair was scattered and his shawl was scattered, and his white clothes were fluttering.
No matter how you look at it, it is carved out of the same mold as Emperor Chu.
Xu Fu knew what Chu Yu was talking about, which could make Chu Yu drunk like mud, except for the concubine, it was Emperor Chu, and Chu Yu's hatred for Emperor Chu was not ordinarily deep.
Even though he is now appreciated and valued by Emperor Chu, how can these make up for the psychological trauma Chu Yu suffered when he was a child?
A holy decree made him watch his mother die in front of his eyes, and since then he has become a waste prince who is bullied.
"This mansion is too deserted, if Steward Xu is free, add some more people, you don't have to work so hard, but there are few adults in this mansion, it will inevitably be deserted."
Chu Yu turned his head, his phoenix eyes reflected Xu Fu's tired face, it was too tiring to hand over all the affairs in the mansion to Xu Fu alone, if someone could share it for Xu Fu, he should be much easier.
"Yes, but the old slave who serves His Highness is still here in person, and the other people are not at ease when they come to the old slave."
Xu Fu said seriously, he has served Chu Yu for more than ten years, and every time he gives Chu Yu a meal, he has to go through it in person before he can deliver it to Chu Yu with peace of mind.
Xu Fu didn't forget that after the death of the concubine that year, how many of the three meals a day could be eaten?
Those people are also ruthless, even if the concubine dies, he will not let go of a child who is a few years old, since then he has developed this habit, he will definitely try the food for Chu Yu to feel at ease, this trial has become a habit, and he can't change it after more than ten years.
Oh people, it's always right to be careful.
"Naturally, I'm not used to it without your service, but is it worth it for me? Mr. Xu, you should also find someone to warm you up. ”
Looking at Xu Fu's old appearance, Chu Yu was grateful.
Xu Fu also found that Chu Yu was different from before, he actually used me in front of him, not this prince.
Tears in his eyes couldn't help but fall, and even his eyes turned red.
"It's enough for this warm quilt to have a stove, the old slave's life was saved by the concubine, the concubine asked the old slave to take good care of Your Highness, and when Your Highness's great cause was not completed, the old slave didn't dare to think about anything else!"
Speaking of the great cause when Xu Fu had not achieved a touch of seriousness, now Chu Yu is favored by Emperor Chu, and his words in the court have some weight, this is a good start, no matter how long he will wait, until the day when Chu Yu gets ahead, and he can give up those children's private affairs.
The phoenix eyes became a little deep, and there was a hint of unclear meaning in them.
"It's getting late, it's time for this prince to go and rest, you should be early."
Chu Yu stretched his waist, stood up from the floor and patted his clothes, still holding the wine jar in his hand, full of wine.
"Yes."
Xu Fu got out of the way, Chu Yu bypassed him, but Xu Fu didn't move.
He knew that he forced Chu Yu too hard, but if he didn't force it, how long would it take to clear up the grievances of the concubine?
He had waited too long for this moment, too long for him to wait any longer.
Concubine, if you really sympathize with Your Highness, bless him.
Seeing Chu Yu's figure disappear in front of his eyes, Xu Fu turned around and left with peace of mind, but after he left, the figure from the side of the door reappeared, still dressed in white, and still holding a wine jar in his hand.
How could he not know Xu Fu's thoughts?
He also knew that he had to clear up his grievances for his mother and concubine, to get the retribution he deserved, and to let Ling Mingming enter his four princes' mansion justifiably, for these reasons, he had to fight with Chu Yan and them, and only by winning could he protect everything he wanted to protect.
When there was a famine, his mother just got out of the carriage and handed a beggar a silver ingot and two steamed buns, but Xu Fu could be loyal to him all his life, and even in his sixties, he had never married a wife, and now he has no wife and no children, which Chu Yu is grateful to and feels guilty in his heart.
He looked at the moonlight and closed his eyes, but Xiao Changge's appearance appeared in his mind when he closed his eyes.
The street was full of lanterns, and she stood in the crowd with a smile in her eyes, but she spit the word femme fatale in her mouth.
And that kind of Xiao Changge, he actually felt that he was more beautiful than every woman in the world, but that back made him feel lonely.
Chu Yu opened his eyes, with confusion in his eyes, and his hand was on his forehead with a puzzled expression.
It was really strange that he would think of Xiao Changge at this time.
And how can Xiao Changge be more beautiful than every woman in the world? Why did he come up with such thoughts?
Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, probably because he was busy with Xiao Changge's affairs these days, and even his mind was confused.
He remembered that Xiao Changge had said that he was the same kind of person as her......
……
The next day, the yamen was crowded with people, and in addition to wanting to see the face of the emperor of Chu, they wanted to see what would happen to the concubine of the Xiao family.
In ancient times, there were many official disciples who were careless about people's lives, but it was only the governor who came to interrogate this matter, and today, a Xiao Changge was able to lead the Chu Emperor to interrogate him personally, which was unprecedented, how could they not come to join in the fun?
And the people who came here today, in addition to those ordinary people, Tang Moshu was also mixed in.
He wanted to go to the prison to see Xiao Changge, but he couldn't.
Since Emperor Chu ordered him to be interrogated in person, Yi Zheng did not allow anyone to go in to visit Xiao Changge, of course, Xiao Yongde was more special.
Tang Moshu looked at the officers and soldiers in the left and right rows, there were several times more people than usual, and he had just seen a lot of Imperial Forest troops outside, judging from this battle, this trip was really well prepared.
That's right, after all, the assassin in the palace last time still made Emperor Chu feel uneasy, and if he was not careful, it was Emperor Chu himself who might lose his life.
"Isn't this Brother Tang? Why did you come to see the interrogation? Gong thought that Brother Tang should be in the place of smoke willows at the moment or talk to some bosses about business, but he didn't think about it and was interested in this case. ”
Just as Tang Moshu was analyzing, a familiar voice entered his ears, Tang Moshu turned around, and saw a man standing next to him, and he also laughed.
"Isn't this Brother Gong? Why are you here today? According to Tang, shouldn't Brother Gong be locked up in the wall of your father's house? ”
Tang Moshu joked, but this spoke to the hearts of the people in front of him.
The smile on his face disappeared instantly, but in front of Tang Moshu, he pretended to be very calm, he straightened the corner of his clothes and smiled lightly.
"Huh, my father? How can my father control me? Besides, who doesn't know that the Holy Lord will come in person today, I am also here to join in the fun, by the way, to see how ugly this Xiao family's concubine is, I have always heard others say that I have never seen it with my own eyes, how can I let it go if I have a chance today? ”
Gong Changsheng squeezed his eyebrows and said, ignoring Tang Moshu and squeezing into the crowd one by one.
He also sneaked out today, he took the antique pawn at home and went to the gambling house to gamble, but he didn't want to lose it all, his father took the family to the gambling house to catch him and lock him in the room, this level is several days, this old immortal is really ruthless, and when he has a trace, when everything in the Gong family falls on his head, who dares to say half a sentence about him!
sneaked out today, in order to witness how ugly this Xiao family's concubine is, and to see the emperor's face by the way.
Tang Moshu squinted his eyes and looked at Gong Changsheng squeezing forward.
Ugly? Why doesn't he look ugly at all?
However, he does care about how Xiao Changge will solve this matter, now he and Xiao Changge are tied to the same boat, if Xiao Changge has an accident, he will also lose someone who can cooperate, so he is more concerned with today's interrogation than anyone else.
Just as Tang Moshu was thinking about it, there was another bustle outside the governor.
Xiao Changle and Yan Ruolin got off the sedan chair at the same time, and the two looked at each other and nodded.
"Why is my cousin here too?"
Xiao Changle got down from the carriage, his hand was still on Li'er's hand, and looked at the carriage parked opposite, and the owner of the carriage was also helped out of the carriage by the maid.
"Yo, isn't this Cousin Changle? What a coincidence."
Yan Ruolin hid her face and smiled, but there was a smile in her eyes.
Xiao Changle took the smile into her eyes, but she seemed to be a little sarcastic when she looked at Yan Ruolin smiling.
Skillful? She really didn't believe in the word coincidence.
"Lin'er, like Cousin Changle, was worried about Cousin Changge, so she came over to take a look."
Yan Ruolin said, with a touch of concern on her face.
And from the time the two of them got off the carriage, the people standing outside the patrol mansion all looked at the two of them, Chu Guo Simei, there were two people present today, how could they not look at it twice.
And at this glance, they understood in their hearts that these two people deservedly deserved to be called one of the four beauties.
Both of them can't see their faces clearly with veils, but just by looking at this charm, they can know that under this veil must be the face of Zhang Chengguo and the city.
"My cousin really cares about Sister Changge, why don't you join us since you're here?"
Xiao Changle raised his eyebrows to invite, and he had already scolded Yan Ruolin countless times in his heart, saying that he was concerned about Xiao Changge, and he was afraid that he came for Chu Yan, right?
I heard that Chu Yan will also be jurified today, with his father, Lord Xu and the four princes.
This makes the prince jury she can understand, but why is even the four princes together?
"Cousin, please."
Yan Ruolin gestured to please, and the two walked slowly towards the Patrol Mansion, but without the invitation of Emperor Chu, they could only stand outside and watch like ordinary people.
Wherever the two walked, those people must have gotten out of the way and dare not be in the same frame with them, for fear of ruining the scenery.
Tang Moshu raised his eyebrows, even Miss Yan is here, this formation is really big.
Xiao Changge, your face is really big, you shouldn't be able to squeeze outside this patrol mansion later, he guessed that at least half of the people in this city would come here.
Li'er and Yan Ruolin's maids had already prepared chairs, Xiao Changle and Yan Ruolin sat on the chairs, and those so-called sons and brothers stepped forward to talk, and the two of them attracted everyone's attention.
Tang Moshu took a few steps back and hid in the corner, not competing with those people.
