Chapter 25: Breathlessness
After Wei An finished speaking, seeing that Chu Zhi was still stubborn and did not move, many intricate emotions suddenly surged in his heart, and after a slight pause, he said again.
"When you finish eating, I'll let you out of the palace."
Hearing this, Chu Zhi finally raised her eyes and glanced at Wei An lightly.
The eyes of the two people met for a moment, the hand on Chu Zhi's knee clenched slightly, she secretly gritted her teeth, and didn't think long to start picking up chopsticks to eat.
By the time she finished eating, Chu Zhi had never touched Wei Ansheng's chicken soup and took a bowl of sour plum soup.
Chu Zhi knew that she was a little naΓ―ve like this, but she just didn't want Wei An to be too proud. Chu Zhi ate this meal almost at the fastest speed in her life, and after eating, she casually picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
"Can I go?" After making all the moves, Chu Zhi went to see Wei An, who was still eating slowly.
Wei An kept an eye on Chu Zhi, and put down his chopsticks when he heard the words: "I'll send you out." β
Chu Zhi rejected him without thinking about it: "Don't bother the emperor." β
Wei An was about to call the palace people in, but after hearing Chu Zhi's words, he was not in a hurry. Chu Zhi resisted him now, but this did not mean that he would be deterred by Chu Zhi's resistance.
"I heard that something happened to Beichu, and you are willing to appear in front of me this time, is it because of these things?" Wei An's tone was so flat that it seemed to be saying something inconsequential.
Chu Zhi originally planned that no matter what Wei An said, she would not stay for a minute or a second, but Wei An's words were like thunder on the ground, and she stopped her movements abruptly.
"How do you know?" Chu Zhi asked in disbelief.
Since the incident of the secret spy, Chu Zhi knew in her heart that the matter of the loss of the wind and rain order could not be hidden for too long, and it may have even been leaked long ago, but she was only prepared for the worst if one or two people knew about it, but now even Wei An already knew about it.
Wei An smiled: "Today your guards hurriedly entered the palace and left, I felt that something was wrong, so I sent someone to follow, but I didn't follow far before your guards found out, although I didn't get a definite answer from your guards, but my people also investigated your whereabouts in the past few days, I thought about it together, and felt that this is the only possibility." β
Chu Zhi couldn't help but be annoyed by her reaction after listening to Wei An's words, listening to what Wei An said just now, he was obviously just guessing before, but her reaction just now was tantamount to telling Wei An that his conjecture was right. is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, how could she be so breathless.
Northern Chu's wind and rain order involved many forces, and it was absolutely impossible for Chu Zhi to let the news continue to spread, so she looked cold: "What do you want?" β
"I won't say it, don't worry." Wei An's eyes were soft, as if he was coaxing a fried cat, and gave a sweet and kind reminder: "It's just that, according to my investigation, this kind of thing has already come out." β
Chu Zhi stood up suddenly: "So what?!" She had already prepared for the worst, she had been busy with these things in the past few days, and now she heard Wei An say this, she couldn't control her emotions: "The emperor is too worried, I'm not afraid that the emperor will say it, the matter has come to this point, and there is no difference between what the emperor says or not." β
Chu Zhi thought of something when she said this, and smiled coldly: "What's more, one of the reasons why the news of the wind and rain order leaked so quickly is that there are many people who have been coveting it and paying attention to it, presumably the emperor is also one of these people, so for his own interests, I don't think the emperor will publicize this matter." β
