Chapter 253: Grievances

"You ......" Chu Wanshuang was angry, glared at Chu Mohan angrily for a long time, and finally didn't attack again, snorted coldly and closed his eyes.

She didn't want to argue with him, lest she wake up the child. Chu Mohan ignored her, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

A moment later, Chu Wanxiang walked in with a decoction.

Chu Mohan smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine, and frowned impatiently: "What kind of medicine is this?"

"Tocosthetics." Chu Wanxiang said, "The concubine heard that you were injured, so she specially ordered someone to boil it, so eat it while it's hot."

Chu Mohan took the bowl and poured it down. Chu Wanxiang handed the empty bowl to the palace maids and asked them to clean it up.

"Your Majesty, you can sleep now."

Chu Mohan looked at her. She wore a lake-blue gown, with wide sleeves and a narrow waist, which made her figure slender and slender, her skin like cream, and her eyebrows were picturesque. She is tall and well-proportioned, graceful and beautiful. Chu Mohan was stunned, his eyes were deep.

Chu Wanxiang noticed his gaze and hung her head shyly: "Your Majesty, aren't you sleeping?"

"You accompany the orphan."

"The concubines have slept enough, if the emperor is sleepy, he can sleep first."

Chu Mohan pursed his lips in displeasure and said coldly, "Okay, I'll go take a bath first, and you can dry my hair for me."

Chu Wanxiang hummed obediently.

When Chu Mohan left, the corners of Chu Wanxiang's mouth hooked up a successful arc. She definitely won't give up this time.

Chu Wanxiang walked to the dresser, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed.

She didn't want to be an emperor, and she didn't want to be with Chu Mohan for the rest of her life. But now Chu Mohan is the emperor, and he is also the Ming Jun recognized by the world, the Ming Jun of the ages, and he has the right to have the woman he likes and likes him. The woman Chu Mohan likes is her!

Chu Wanxiang clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind.

She wants to become stronger and stronger, so that everyone can fear her, worship her, and respect her, so that she can prevent Chu Mohan from marrying a side concubine, prevent Chu Mohan from falling in love with other women, and even kill his top favorite.

Chu Wanxiang sat in front of the bronze mirror for a while, adjusted her mood, and walked behind the screen with her feet raised. Behind the screen is a hot spring pool filled with boiling hot water, which is misty and fragrant. Chu Wanxiang took off her shoes and socks, stepped into the pool, and took a comfortable bath.

"Mother, do you need a slave to serve?" The palace maid asked respectfully.

Chu Wanxiang waved her hand and said, "You all go out, I'll come out after a while."

"Yes." The palace maid bowed and withdrew.

Chu Wanxiang leaned comfortably against the pool wall, slowly and leisurely enjoying the warm spring water soaking.

Over the years, she has tried to make herself strong and independent, but she has never been able to completely change the cowardice in her bones. If Chu Wanqing and Chu Wanyu hadn't betrayed her and hadn't killed her children, maybe her character would have been more tenacious and she would be able to take on the responsibility.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and her life is destined to continue.

Chu Wanxiang soaked for a while, feeling physically and mentally happy, so she got up from the pool, got dressed, and wiped her body. After getting dressed, she walked over to the bed and sat down.

"The concubines serve His Majesty and go to bed." Chu Wanxiang leaned down and reached out to untie Chu Mohan's belt.

Chu Mohan grabbed her wrist, and his obsidian-like eyes shone with a cold light: "Who allowed you to touch Gu?"

"Your Majesty is injured, the concubine helps you to bed and changes your clothes." Chu Wanxiang bent down slightly, approached him, and rubbed the tip of her soft nose against his neck.

Chu Mohan's throat itched inexplicably.

"No need, you can get out." Chu Mohan brushed her hand away.

"Yes." Chu Wanxiang bent her knees and slowly retreated.

As soon as Chu Wanxiang left the dormitory, Chu Mohan relaxed. He was indeed a little tired, and the medicine he had just drunk consumed a lot of his physical strength, so he lay down on the table and took a nap.

In his sleep, he seemed to dream of a vague figure, dimly dim and unreal.

Chu Mohan woke up suddenly, and a strange face appeared in his mind, a woman dressed in white stood in the treetops, as if looking at him.

Chu Mohan frowned, ignoring the unfamiliar figure. The woman's appearance, he couldn't see it clearly, it should have been changed. Standing on the treetops, is she also a master of extremely high martial arts?

Chu Mohan shook his head, no matter who she was, if she dared to spy on him, he would definitely not be able to spare her.

The next day, Chu Mohan was still reviewing the folds, and Chu Wanxiang was grinding in the hall. Suddenly, there was a noisy noise outside, mixed with the screams and cries of women, Chu Wanxiang stopped her pen and walked out.

A group of officials knelt on the ground, their heads bowed and trembling, not daring to plead or argue. And Chu Mohan was staring at the man kneeling in front with a gloomy face, exuding a terrifying anger.

Kneeling at the front was the Ministry of Justice, sweat on his forehead, trembling, "Minister, minister......

Before he finished speaking, Chu Mohan suddenly drew his sword and pointed at him: "You dare to rebel?!"

"Your Majesty!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a puff, and kowtowed repeatedly, "How dare the ministers, the ministers dare to rebel!"

Chu Mo smiled coldly: "I heard with my own ears that you asked the soldiers to attack the Praetorian Guards in an attempt to assassinate me! You're still quibbling!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu cried.

"Come on, pull it down and cut it down!" Chu Mohan didn't bother to say a word of nonsense.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

The Praetorian Guards on both sides quickly rushed over and dragged the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, dragged him to the door, and used a knife to frame the Ministry of Industry's neck, as long as Chu Mohan gave an order, he would be killed immediately!

"Your Majesty, please think again!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu tried his best and shouted, "The minister is forced to be helpless! If the minister does not follow the prince's orders, the minister's family will be ruined! The minister was forced to do this!"

"Bastard!" Chu Mohan was furious, "It's nonsense!"

"Your Majesty is angry!" The officials kowtowed and pleaded.

Chu Mohan glanced at them, "What about you?"

Several ministers hurriedly replied, "The ministers have no grudges with the Ministry of Works, and they are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty!"

"So it is with the minister!"

"I beg Your Majesty to be clear, the minister has not participated in the rebellion!"

Chu Mohan squinted his eyes and looked at everyone, and seeing that no one denied it, he snorted coldly: "Since you didn't participate, why did you want to shield the Ministry of Works?"

"The ministers dare not deceive Your Majesty, and the ministers have indeed not colluded with the Ministry of Works!"

Chu Mo smiled coldly, "Didn't collude? You mean, this has nothing to do with you? Then tell me, where did you get so many taels of silver in one night?"

"This ......," the crowd was speechless.

Chu Mohan's gaze shifted to the other two and asked, "What about the two of you?"

Chu Wanxiang's father, Prime Minister Chu Cheng, had a partisan feud with Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and they were the most suspicious.

"The minister......" The two of them turned pale, hesitated again and again, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "The minister does have a share in buying the murderer."
