waited until he returned to the Junwang Mansion, entered the Xichen Courtyard, and closed the door, Chu Chen couldn't wait to speak: "Zixi, you are going back the day after tomorrow?" Why so suddenly? ”

Didn't you say you would go back in mid-February?

"Well, my prime minister is seriously ill, so I have to go back and have a look." Zixi spoke.

The tone was light and breezy, as if he was telling an ordinary thing.

The prime minister is seriously ill?

Chu Chen was surprised, and then his expression darkened, and he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips: "You care about him very much in your heart?" ”

So it was all false to say that I didn't like him before, and as soon as I heard that he was seriously ill, I immediately wanted to go back?

"yes." Zixi nodded calmly, "I care very much, I care that I want to see how he dies with my own eyes." ”

“…… Yes? Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Originally, he was quite sad, and he prepared a lot of sad words on the way back, but now even the sad emotions are gone, and he has to re-brew.

"Alright, don't pretend." Zixi bent his fingers and knocked on the door of his head, "Use your own brain to think about it, Feng Weiyu doesn't know about my coming to Xiling, but I haven't been to the court for a few months and haven't shown up, so it will definitely do more harm than good to him." ”

"He competed with the regent, and most of the power was still in the hands of the regent. Right now, when the empress is in power, he has a lot of ideas in his heart, and his serious illness is also to force me to show up. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought seriously for a moment.

There seems to be some truth to that, too.

Although Feng Weiyu is the prime minister and the head of the hundred officials, before the empress is not in power, the regent is the one who holds the power.

The empress likes Feng Weiyu and supports the prime minister with all her might, just to divide the power of the regent after the pro-government - so for Feng Weiyu, the empress can sit in the court, which is a strong backing for him, and it is also the reason why he is justified in his name to the regent.

Now that the empress is not going to the court in the name of romance, Feng Weiyu naturally doesn't believe it, and after a long time, she will inevitably have doubts in her heart, and even suspect that the regent has imprisoned the empress in order to continue to control the power of the court.

That's why I used the set of pretending to be sick.

Zixi didn't go back for the time being, which actually didn't have a big impact on herself, but it was not good for the regent.

Once the courtiers are provoked, the suspicion is provoked, and it is not uncommon for the court to be in turmoil.

Chu Chen understands the truth.

But he just couldn't bear Zixi to leave so early.

"It's too sudden." Chu Chen's brows furrowed, and he looked at her aggrievedly, "I'm not mentally prepared at all." ”

"I just got the news and just made the decision." Zixi walked to the couch and sat down, "But it's better to go back early, your body is fine, and the conspiracy you should know is known." Chu Huan doesn't have the energy to deal with your father at the moment, after I leave, you can make good preparations for succeeding the king of Xiling, at most three or two months, and the holy decree will be transmitted here. ”

Chu Chen remembered what Zixi said to Chu Ning in the Eldest Princess's Mansion just now, and was silent for a moment: "It's nothing here in Xiling, Chu Ning is not a stubborn person." As far as she is concerned, she doesn't really care who becomes the emperor and whether the Chu royal family is abolished - especially at this juncture, Chu Huan touched her reverse scales, and she was not far from death. ”

Zixi nodded.

That's why she said bluntly to Chu Ning, that is, she calculated Chu Ning's temperament - or rather, as long as she grasped her weakness, there was nothing she couldn't do.
