Take a step back and push Xie Yue'e away slightly, bypassing the bright light that shines on her eyes; Holding Xie Yue'e's delicate face with both hands, she quietly looked directly into her eyes; Xu Da said with a serious and firm face: "Yue'e, I'm sorry for you; Although I have done something that has made you miserable for the rest of your life, it is up to me to take this responsibility; However, I don't want to deceive you, I can really only let go of one person's feelings in my heart, and that is Chu Liuyan. &>

>> But she has always been full of feelings for Liu Bowen, and she may not accept your feelings; You have to come to your senses quickly, Brother Xu, stop deceiving yourself. Xie Yue'e grabbed Xu Da's hands tightly on her face and shouted urgently.

Looking at the bright sunlight outside, Xu Da felt that his current heart, like the world outside the study, was illuminated by the sun, and his heart was finally spoken; Although I didn't say it to the woman I loved, I still feel very relaxed now.

The doubts that wavered in his heart were finally resolved, like a thousand catties of stones removed from his heart, and Xu Dajue felt that he could now completely face Chu Liuyan and say what was in his heart. The two held hands tightly and faced each other silently, feeling each other's beating hearts. After a while, Xie Yue'e took a long breath and said, "Brother Xu, you are so good!" Even if you don't like me, I'll remember your good!

Looking at Xu Da's eyes flashing with excitement, Xie Yue'e knew that this was not a look for herself, and she couldn't help but feel unusually cold in her heart, and she really wanted to cry out loud.

But the girl's inherent reserve made her hold back her tears; said slowly to Xu Da: "I won't blame you, Brother Xu, I won't blame you for any decision you make; I'm gone, you can rest well. With that, he limped out of the study.

Looking at the lonely figure, he staggered out of the study and slowly walked to the backyard; Xu Da's heart couldn't help but tremble, but he didn't chase after him, but shook his head and slowly sat back in the chair. Before this, he was often troubled by the grievances between himself and Xie Yue, && how should I arrange Xie Yue&; became a question that often puzzled him, and now he has personally told Xie Yue'e what he thinks, that is, this problem that has puzzled him for a long time has been solved. But this was completely wishful thinking on his part, Xie Yue, who was trying to keep herself from crying on the spot, did not see the expression on her face.

It was a face that was a mixture of despair, sadness, and hatred, and there was hatred and jealousy in its eyes, so the whole person looked a little gloomy and demonic.

& Chu Liuyan, I hate you! I hate you! &;As one item after another was thrown to the ground, it fell to pieces; Xie Yue'e kept scolding in her mouth.

The whole person was like an angry lion, grabbed something casually, and threw it on the ground fiercely, making a bang, but Xie Yue'e didn't feel relieved, and jumped to her feet and scolded wildly: "Chu Liuyan, what are you!" How many boats are you stepping on, why do Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Zhang Shicheng and even the current emperor like you! What's so good about you, aren't you just able to strategize and fight? I think you're a vixen reincarnation. &>

Her angry scolding made the two maids waiting outside her door frightened enough; They had never seen Xie Yue'e so angry, which made their hearts tremble

& Grandpa Chu has arrived! The doorman of the palace shouted loudly, and then the chief steward bent down in front of him and quickly led Chu Xing to appear in front of the hall.

Chu Liuyan, who came out quickly, hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't know what happened to Grandpa Chu?" &>

Chu Xing bowed slightly, then stood up and said: "Our family came here today on the orders of the emperor to pass the prince into the palace; The emperor has something to discuss with you. &>

& In that case, please go to the hall to rest and have a cup of tea. &;Chu Liuyan leaned to the side, his right hand led to the hall behind him, and said politely.

> Our family is for the emperor, how can there be hard work at all; I think the prince should hurry into the palace with our family and meet the emperor, what do you think? Chu Xing's sharp voice came out of his white and fat body, and it looked a little nondescript.

&& In that case, please go first, and this king will arrive later. As he spoke, Chu Liuyan politely motioned for Chu Xing to take a step outside.

&Okay! Let's go first, I'm outside the noon gate, waiting for the prince. Saying that, Chu Xing, surrounded by the guards, walked out of the palace with a proud expression, and then sat in a sedan chair and left the palace.

& Lord, something won't happen again, right? &;After Liu Bowen's death, he was brought to the palace by Chu Liuyan and asked Chu Liuyan a little anxiously.

Don't be afraid, you just need to take care of the house for me, and you'll be fine. Chu Liuyan looked a little frightened and happy, and said with a smile.

As long as there is nothing to do, as soon as I hear who the emperor has summoned, my heart is pounding, and I am very worried about this person. Happy said with a frown.

>> You don't look like this, and it's not good; Don't forget, Brother Liu gave you this name just to make you happy; He doesn't want to see your sad face now. Chu Liuyan joked with her while changing into his clothes from the previous court.

Standing next to her happy, carefully helped her put it on, but the sadness on her face did not decrease a lot, and she still looked very unhappy.

& Why, I remembered that Brother Liu was here again? Chu Liuyan stopped the movement in his hand, looked at the happiness that shed tears, and asked in a low voice.

Chu Liuyan asked, and the tears of happiness flowed faster; Choked up and said: "The lord is such a good person, why didn't the emperor avenge him?" &>

Gently pressed the corner of his eye with his hand, trying to stop the tears from pouring out; Chu Liuyan raised his hand and gently patted Xingxing's shoulder twice, and then said: >. Don't go out and talk nonsense about some things, be careful that the wall has ears; I will definitely seek justice for Brother Liu. As he spoke, he looked down at his clothes again, and Chu Liuyan turned around and walked outside the mansion

& Enlighten the emperor, the prince of Chu is waiting for the decree outside the palace gate. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was slowly drinking wine in the Heart Nourishing Palace, sitting on a chair and looking at a book, heard Chu Xing's report; Only then did he raise his head and say casually, "Hurry up, please." As he spoke, he put down his book and sat there.

With the shouts of the Huangmen officials, Chu Liuyan walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall quickly, came to Zhu Yuanzhang's face, bent down and saluted, and said: "Minister Chu Liuyan pays a visit to the emperor." &>

& Excuse me, flat. When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he shouted to the side: "Show the prince of Chu a seat." Immediately, a eunuch who accompanied him moved a round pier with a brocade mat with light steps and placed it on Chu Liuyan's side.

&Thank you for your grace. Although he hated the ruthless and unrighteous person in front of him in his heart, but in this palace where the courtesy of the monarch and ministers was strict, Chu Liuyan had no choice but to abide by the etiquette, try to suppress his hatred, and did not want to give people a handle on the etiquette.

Slowly sitting on the round pier, Chu Liuyan spoke first: "The emperor summoned the ministers, I don't know what to discuss?" &>

& In recent days, you have not been to the court, Lord Chu; There is already some discussion in the court, so I invite you into the palace to talk. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to say that he wanted to get close to Chu Liuyan, but pushed the matter onto the ministers.

>> Your Majesty, you also know that I have been busy with Lord Liu's funeral recently, but I can't go to the court to discuss things; That's why I wrote to the emperor and asked for some time, which was also approved by the emperor; And what is the need for the ministers to talk about this? Chu Liuyan said logically that she didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to take advantage of the opportunity to play again.

>> yes, yes; This matter is indeed approved by me, I am just reminding me, and I don't mean anything else. Has Liu Bowen's aftermath been dealt with? Do I need to transfer some silver taels from the treasury to help you deal with the aftermath for him? Zhu Yuanzhang made a look of caring about his courtiers and said.

& The emperor's heart, I will replace the dead Zhongshu Ling Liu, thank you for the emperor's grace. &;Chu Liuyan will &;The dead Zhongshu Ling Liu&; a few words, biting very hard, and there is an obvious strange tone in his tone.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to cough a few times to avoid the embarrassment; Then he said: "Yes, Liu Aiqing died young, which is a great loss for me; It would be too difficult to find a good official like Liu Aiqing who dared to speak out and rectify the style of officials. After speaking, make a sad look.

>> Your Majesty, this is a serious statement; Aren't there many good officials around the emperor? Like Hu Weiyong, Lu Zhongheng and so on, aren't they all people who are deeply trusted by the emperor? The emperor has nothing to regret. Chu Liuyan said sarcastically.

& Haha, the prince of Chu said with a smile; Although these people do have some ability, they are not as good as Liu Aiqing's ability to do things; I reluctantly put them in these positions. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled to hide his embarrassment.

& The emperor summoned me to the palace, I'm afraid it wasn't just to discuss the officials who are good and who is poor, right? Chu Liuyan had a cold face and responded to Zhu Yuanzhang's smiling appearance.

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile was frozen on his face, so he had to pretend to look elsewhere, so that his anger went down; Then he turned his face, coughed twice, and said, "I also heard some people talking about some things about you and Liu Aiqing, I don't know if it's true or not." After speaking, his eyes stared at Chu Liuyan's face without blinking.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this, Chu Liuyan still sighed involuntarily, and his two beautiful eyes gradually became a little red, and crystal tears had flashed in his eyes.

So what the ministers are saying is true. Zhu Yuanzhang pretended not to know and immediately asked.

> The past is gone, so don't talk about it. Chu Liuyan sighed and said with true feelings.

> But I still hear people talk about it, do you suspect that the cause of Liu Aiqing's death is unknown, and you want to investigate the cause and effect of this incident, is there such a thing? Zhu Yuanzhang gradually spoke out his real problems.

>> I just want to get to the bottom of it; I don't think the emperor will stop me from doing this. Chu Liuyan smiled coldly and said sarcastically.

>> How could I stop you, this also shows that you care a lot about the affection between friends; But don't be too stubborn; Some things have already passed, and it's hard to find a cause; If you are so stubborn, you will only exhaust yourself, but it will not lead to anything. Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly cleared himself up, and tactfully stopped Chu Liuyan from continuing to investigate.

& The emperor won't have anything to hide from Weichen, so he doesn't want me to continue to investigate the cause of Liu Bowen's death? Chu Liuyan was really a little unbearable, and blurted out; But as soon as the words came out, I felt that the words were a bit excessive.

Hearing Chu Liuyan say this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately became gloomy, his eyes flashed with fierce eyes, he looked at her fiercely, his lips trembled for a while, and finally he didn't say anything.

For a while, the hall of heart cultivation seemed very quiet. The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting next to them were silent, and no one dared to make a sound, in case a catastrophe came.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Lord Chu, there are some things you still don't have to pay too much attention to, let the past pass." &>

& The emperor advised me not to investigate this matter, why didn't I summon Hu Weiyong into the palace and ask him how Liu Bowen died. Since he accused the emperor, Chu Liuyan put down his burden and asked the emperor bluntly.

& What's wrong with Hu Aiqing? He was kind enough to treat Liu Aiqing; Besides, is it good that he knows that he has ice carp and doesn't go to treat Liu Bowen? Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a ghost in his heart, hurriedly defended Hu Weiyong.

&Yes! I was about to ask the emperor about this; Hu Weiyong said that he had ice carp, but why did I resign to the emperor above the court, and when I left Changbai Mountain, he did not say that he had ice carp; It wasn't until we left the capital that he reported to the emperor that he had ice carp and offered to treat Liu Bowen. &;Once again, point out Hu Weiyong's suspicions in this matter to refute Zhu Yuanzhang's obvious behavior of favoring Hu Weiyong.

>> Lord, what do you want me to say? Should we be suspicious of the treatment of a colleague? Liu Bowen's death, in my opinion, was purely accidental; Don't be too stubborn about it. If you think you have to punish Hu Weiyong, I will fine him for half a year and let him take out the money as Liu Bowen's expenses for handling the funeral, which is always okay. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Liuyan's eyes that were almost on fire, and hurriedly found a step for himself.

&& Perhaps in the eyes of the Emperor there is nothing to doubt about the whole matter; However, there is one thing that the minister can't understand, why the emperor was so anxious to cremate Liu Bowen's body; You have thought about this matter for a long time and have not figured it out, and the minister hopes that the emperor will give him some guidance, so that Weichen can also learn something from it. Chu Liuyan said sarcastically.

& Bold! Dare to find out my head; Where did you put the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, you are too unruly! Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious and roared. Zhu Yuanzhang's roar made all the palace maids and eunuchs standing inside and outside the palace, as well as the guards waiting outside the palace, all tremble, and quickly lowered their heads, for fear that the emperor would see the fear in his eyes.

Chu Liuyan, who sat still, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was embarrassed and angry, with a sneer, and said again: "Is the emperor afraid that people will mention the cremation of Liu Bowen's body?" Or the emperor felt that he had something to do and didn't want people to mention it. Since he had a falling out with Zhu Yuanzhang, Chu Liuyan put everything aside and said something that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want people to mention.

& Presumptuous, you are too presumptuous. Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily, his face looked out, his mouth trembled a few times, he wanted to shout something, and finally sighed and sat heavily on the chair.

>> The emperor doesn't want to greet the guards, but also wants to take me down and send me to prison, right? In this way, the emperor will be really quiet. Looking at the annoyed Zhu Yuanzhang, he sat down angrily; Chu Liuyan added another fire and said.

&..... You&; Zhu Yuanzhang was simply scurrying around in Chu Liuyan's nose; But seeing her showing a compelling heroic momentum because of her anger, there was even more love and pity in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart; Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always had a crush on Chu Liuyan, can't be ruthless, and he can only suppress his anger and slam his fist on the table next to him; The teacups and bowls on the table immediately jumped and jingled.

Seeing this, Chu Liuyan stood up and reluctantly gave a salute; Then he said: "Your Majesty, the minister is leaving." As he spoke, without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, he walked out of the Heart Nourishing Hall directly; Instead of exiting and then turning away, as you did before. When he was about to walk to the door, Chu Liuyan turned his head and said, "I will definitely find out about the matter." After speaking, in the stunned eyes of all the people who were waiting beside him, he walked out of the noon gate.

& Nonsense, what nonsense; Damn, so damn! Looking at Chu Liuyan in the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang smashed his fist on the table again; The teabowls and teacups tinkled non-stop, and one of the teacups actually poured, spilling the tea on the table; Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't pay attention to these at all, walked towards the apse angrily with his hands behind his back; Several palace maids hurriedly ran to the table and packed up these things.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still angry, had just sat down in the imperial study, and Chu Xing came in to give a salute and said: "Enlighten the emperor, guard the general Lan Yu and ask to see him." &>

&Go and ask him what's the matter? If there is nothing important, let him go back and talk about it later. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a bad mood by Chu Liu's smoke, said in a cold voice.

> Enlighten the emperor, the guardian general once told the minions that tomorrow is General Lan's birthday, and he wanted to invite the emperor to come to the palace to show the emperor's grace. Chu Xing said cautiously.

& I see. Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly; I couldn't help but think in my heart: I was just angry with Chu Liuyan, but I just took this opportunity to be happy with my courtiers, and I could also show that I was so close to my courtiers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: > Xuan him came in. &;！
