Shen Rui was put in prison and waited for the emperor's verdict, and Shangguan Tianyu sent someone to send him back to Beijing as soon as possible, not only because of Shen Rui's abuse of power, but also because he embezzled state funds with the Ruan family.

Maybe there are other things that the emperor can still tolerate, such as abusing power or favoring relatives in his actions, which he understands, but he concealed the country's jade mines and did not report them, and also divided those properties with his father-in-law's family, thinking that they have been spending his money for nine years, he feels unhappy.

If they had reported this jade mine earlier, he would not have been insulted by the people because he had no money for disaster relief, let alone no money to build his Tongque Terrace, the more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking that he was an emperor like this, he hated to kill Shen Rui.

But Shen Rui is the biological son of King Lao Yue after all, and he is still the only son, does he really want to kill him? Will that hurt the heart of the old Yue King?

The emperor thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't have a good way, so he sent people to King Chen's mansion in the middle of the night and asked them to invite King Chen and Princess Chen into the palace.

Chu Lixue went to Cui Ying City for more than ten days, and completed the task assigned to her by King Chen, King Chen looked at Chu Lixue distressedly, "I have made my mother suffer these days, anyway, how can I compensate you for my husband?" ”

"Hmm......" Chu Lixue put on a thoughtful look, but she didn't say what to do.

"I haven't thought about how to compensate for it, it's just that in the ten days I've been away from home, I heard that you and those two white concubines have a very long time." Chu Lixue said sourly.

"Hehe, are you jealous?" King Chen is so tidy. Chu Lixue is rarely jealous like this, and sometimes even makes him have the illusion that he has lost his charm, but today, it is not that he is not attractive, but that Chu Lixue lacks a sense of crisis, although he has nothing to do with the two white concubines, but he is still very happy to see Chu Lixue's jealous appearance.

"Jealous? I still drink soy sauce, I'm not jealous, those two are your side concubines, what about you and them, how can I manage it. ”

"I also said that I wasn't angry, but I was clearly angry." King Chen said softly. Although it was only a short ten days, King Chen felt that he hadn't seen Chu Lixue for a long time, the ancients said that not seeing each other for a day is like every other three autumns, he can be regarded as a personal experience, he swears that he will never let his beloved woman leave him for so long in the future, never!

Bai Ruyan stayed in her room and hated itchy, she thought that Chu Lixue would come back for a while, but she didn't expect to come back so soon, she finally planned for so long, and planned to take down King Chen tonight, but all of this was destroyed by King Chen.

Bai Bingyu was listening to her maid report everything about this Xiaoxiang Pavilion in her Bingyue Pavilion, she didn't expect Chu Lixue to come back so soon, there was no Chu Lixue's day, so King Chen could still give a smile when he saw her, and now that Chu Lixue is back, I'm afraid he will never be able to see King Chen's smile alone in the future.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, King Chen had already fallen asleep with Chu Lixue in his arms, and King Chen greedily sniffed the jasmine fragrance in Chu Lixue's hair, which felt so good.

Suddenly, I heard Liuyue change softly at the door: "Lord, Lord." ”

King Chen opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Chu Lixue who was in his arms, and saw that she was not disturbed, so he gently withdrew his arm, tucked the quilt away for Chu Lixue again, and stepped forward to gently open the door.

Liuyue looked at King Chen's displeasure, looking at him like a black god, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, and continued: "Lord, there is a word in the palace, and the emperor urgently summons the princess and princess into the palace to discuss important matters. ”

Hearing this, King Chen said angrily: "In the middle of the night, he doesn't sleep and doesn't let others sleep, father-in-law, please go back and tell the emperor, just say that the king and the princess have rested, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

The eunuch looked at King Chen's face full of displeasure, and didn't dare to say anything, the other party was the prince who held the power of the army, he was just a eunuch, don't joke with his head, King Chen doesn't go to the palace, the emperor can't do anything to King Chen, but his life can't be saved.

"Lord, since the emperor is in such a hurry to pass us into the palace, let's enter the palace with my father-in-law, so as not to delay the business." Chu Lixue's voice came softly from the door.

King Chen saw that Chu Lixue was also awake, and if he found an excuse to shirk it, it would be a little too inappropriate, so he immediately said: "Please wait a while, father-in-law, this king and the princess will change their clothes." ”

Liuyue saw that King Chen had already entered the room, and hurried to prepare the carriage, although it was already the end of summer, the night was still a little cold. King Chen changed into a robe, and Ning Xiang thoughtfully prepared a cloak with a silver and white background and emerald patterns for Chu Lixue.

"Ning Xiang, there is no need to keep vigil tonight, you can go back to your room and rest." After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue and King Chen held hands and walked out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion together.

Coming to the palace, the emperor is sitting in the Chaohui Hall with one hand on his forehead in a daze, these days, he really feels more and more powerless, perhaps, he is really not suitable to be the emperor, looking at a bunch of pieces on the desk, he has a headache.

Shen Rui's affairs were played by hundreds of officials, some said that they would kill Shen Rui to set an example, and some said that for the sake of the face of the old Yue King, let him go, all in all, either kill or release, there is no reason to convince the courtiers and block the mouth of the world.

And there is also the throne of the old Yue Wang, the Yue King is the one who followed the first emperor to lay down the country, the prince is hereditary, even if someone in the family commits a big crime, as long as it is not a rebellion, he can be spared from death, this statement will never change, and this is the promise of the first emperor to the king of Yue, what Shen Rui is doing now is that it is not enough to kill him ten times, how to deal with it is the most appropriate, he can't think of any good way for a while, only let King Chen and Princess Chen come up with an idea, even if it is a bad idea, In the future, it will also be King Chen who will be scolded by people poking his back.

I have to say that the emperor's thoughts are very selfish, such a selfish and talentless emperor, the throne is naturally not able to sit securely, even he himself did not expect that it was originally a spurned thing, but in the future, he was betrayed by everyone, which is also a later story.

King Chen and Chu Lixue saw the emperor, and after saluting, the emperor motioned to the eunuch to serve tea to King Chen and Chu Lixue, and King Chen and Chu Lixue sat together on the emperor's left hand.

"King Chen, princess, Shen Rui's matter, the princess is really hard, but now Shen Rui is disposed of, it really makes me embarrassed, King Yue is the hero of the Beichen Kingdom, the first emperor also has a will, the prince is hereditary, if there is no major crime of rebellion, all other crimes will be pardoned, what do you say this should be?" After finishing speaking, the emperor's eyes swept over King Chen and Chu Lixue.

He hadn't seen Chu Lixue for a long time, and when he saw her again today, it seemed to be even more beautiful than before, what was more? He couldn't think of it for a while, when the emperor's eyes saw that King Chen's hand was holding Chu Lixue, he realized that happiness, Chu Lixue is a happy woman, she can marry a man who loves him, and she also loves, King Chen's love for her makes her the happiest woman, and a happy woman is the most beautiful.

Hearing the emperor's question, King Chen just lowered his head silently, it was indeed a little difficult to deal with, Shen Rui was the only son of King Lao Yue after all, if he killed Shen Rui, King Lao Yue would naturally not resent the royal family, but the loss of a son in old age was unbearable for King Yue, and immediately, King Chen looked at Chu Lixue, his wife is very smart, and can always look at problems from another angle, and the emperor brought Chu Lixue with this purpose.

Sure enough, Chu Lixue lived up to expectations, "Actually, this matter is not difficult to deal with, as long as Shen Rui is imprisoned for life, in the final analysis, he is only the smallest part of the money, and the Ruan family is the biggest hungry wolf in Beichen Kingdom." ”

"Then what does the princess mean......" The emperor's eyes flashed with golden light, he was really not mistaken, although she did not explicitly say that the execution of the Ruan family was right, but that sentence of the biggest hungry wolf in the Beichen Kingdom was enough to push the Ruan family to the land of no return.

"Your Majesty, Shen Rui is the only son of King Lao Yue, he committed the crime of concealing and not reporting and covering up and conniving, and imprisoned him for life in accordance with the law of the country, which has an explanation for the courtiers and the King of Lao Yue, as for the throne, the first emperor did not stipulate that the throne cannot be passed directly to his grandson over his son, Zuo Xiang has meritorious service for Beichen State, and there is nothing unjustifiable for him to inherit the throne."

"But it can't be said that since he is the left minister and let him be the prince, such words have too much power. Will it be ......"

"This is easy to do, there is no shortage of those real, diligent officials in the DPRK, as long as a suitable son of the family is selected to take over the position of Zuo Xiang, isn't that okay?" Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing this, the emperor also faded away from the sad face, Chu Lixue's method is very feasible, and now the atmosphere in the court is really bad, especially his mother's mother's maiden family, who has monopolized power, before he demoted Bai Zhiming from a first-class Taifu to a scholar, but the queen mother was angry with him for a while.

If you can choose a down-to-earth and hard-working person to be the left minister in the Bai family's side line this time, maybe the queen mother will be happier. Thinking of this, the emperor decided to adopt Chu Lixue's suggestion, and announced the decision on the handling of the matter at the court on the second day, and the officials praised the emperor Shengming, which made the emperor's face bloom.

Chenwang Mansion, Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After a busy night, Chu Lixue was lying in the house to make up for sleep, the three of Remnant Xue, Wanyue and Ning Xiang were sitting on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard, Ning Xiang was holding a female red in her hand, embroidering a brocade with a mandarin duck playing in the water, and Rean Xue and Wanyue were holding a brocade handkerchief there and carefully wiping their swords, such a scene looked so incongruous.

At this moment, Bai Bingyu walked slowly towards here with the maidservant......
