"Don't alert the enemy. Send someone to keep an eye on Jing Zhaoyin. It's when people are lax that they are most likely to show their flaws." Jun Lingyun's eyes were like an eagle staring at its prey.
"Yes, Your Highness is still wise." Bai Xiao flattered him and retreated.
Chu Yunxi had been listening quietly, and was dumbfounded as she watched Jun Lingyun deal with political affairs vigorously and resolutely. His serious look was so, so majestic and handsome.
Thinking that such a man would become her husband, she suddenly felt a sense of pride.
Unconsciously, she kissed the side of his face. After the kiss, she realized what she had done and was so embarrassed that she covered her head with the quilt.
Jun Lingyun's mind was still immersed in Jing Zhaoyin's affairs when he was suddenly attacked by his little woman. He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curved up, his brows and eyes were full of joy, and he pulled out her tongue in a funny way.
brain.
"Does Xi'er like me?"
Hearing Jun Lingyun ask this question, Chu Yunxi's heart trembled, and she closed her eyes and said nothing. She still doesn't know what her feelings are for Jun Lingyun.
Maybe it was her dependence on her savior. Maybe, the more familiar she became, the more she realized that he was someone she could trust for life. Or maybe, he was the only one who could help her avenge her and protect her family.
In short, it seems that there is no talk of love. He is the prince and will be the king of Yunxiao Kingdom in the future. He will have a harem of three thousand beauties and be surrounded by beauties.
She didn't know how long his feelings for her would last. She just wanted to treat him with respect as a guest and have a place for her Chu family in Yunxiao Kingdom. She didn't dare to expect more.
Jun Lingyun didn't get a reply from her, and a trace of pain flashed through his heart, which quickly faded away. He would wait for his Xi'er to completely eliminate the person in her heart before letting him live in her heart.
Chu Yunxi breathed lightly, and Jun Lingyun's heart tightened suddenly. He was afraid that she would not be able to sleep again: "Xier, Xier?" He called her nervously.
"Don't make any noise, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep." Chu Yunxi muttered, and Jun Lingyun's heart relaxed, and he exhaled and took her into his arms.
At noon on the second day, Chu Yunxi finally woke up amid Jun Lingyun's worries.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Jun Lingyun still beside her. Chu Yunxi revealed two dimples: "Ling Yun."
He lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly: "Open your mouth and I'll apply medicine to you first. The imperial doctor said you should take good care of your tongue and eat some soft liquid food these days."
Chu Yunxi opened her mouth obediently. Her tongue seemed to be getting worse. Jun Lingyun frowned, as if it hurt her tongue. She gently sprinkled some medicinal powder on the white wound.
Half an hour later, after eating some porridge with her, the three Chu brothers came again.
"Greetings to Your Highness." This time they finally did not forget to salute Jun Lingyun first.
"You don't have to be so polite in the future." Jun Lingyun felt better and was very easy to talk to.
"Sister, are you really awake?" The three of them looked at Chu Yunxi happily.
Seeing Chu Yunxi sitting there well, the three of them were very excited. Their sister finally got better.
"My brothers are worried. It's all thanks to His Highness's care."
Chu Yunxi did not forget to show her favor to Jun Lingyun in front of her brothers.
"Is everything really okay this time?" Chu Wenjin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Xi'er only needs to recover for a few more days before she recovers." Jun Lingyun felt comfortable being smoothed over by Chu Yunxi, so she didn't hesitate to say a few more words.
"Your Highness, my sister-in-law has been harassing me in the East Palace for many days. I am afraid there will be some inconvenience. Now I am fine. Please allow us to take my sister back home." Chu Wenhong clasped his fists and asked for instructions.
Jun Lingyun's good mood disappeared: "Xi'er is very good here in this palace."
"People's words are terrible. Your Highness the Crown Prince will not be unaware of this. Recently, it has been spread in the court that it was my sister-in-law who confused the Crown Prince and made His Highness the Crown Prince not to ask about the affairs of the court? I beg Your Highness to be considerate!"
Chu Wenhong braved the cold air and argued hard. Chu Yunxi didn't know that she had such rumors in her dream these past few days, and she frowned slightly.
"I am not afraid of rumors." Jun Lingyun was dissatisfied and came to fight for Xi'er again. It would be better to send him far away.
"It's a pity to leave my sister alone." Chu Wenhong refused to give in. It was related to his sister's reputation. Although he was afraid of the prince showing his power, he could not give in.
"Second brother, I will protect Xi'er,"
Second brother? Jun Lingyun's sudden words made the atmosphere quiet down instantly. Your Highness, last time he called you brother Chu Wenzhong, why did you call him Chu Wenhong just now? Second brother? He, he, this is the rhythm of recognizing relatives.
!
Chu Yunxi also blinked. She didn't know whether she should discuss with Jun Lingyun at this time and let her go back with her brothers.
"Brothers, I will deal with those who want to harm Xi'er one by one. I will definitely protect Xi'er."
How many brothers?
Chu Wenzhong, Chu Wenhong, and Chu Wenjin were still a little unresponsive until they left the palace. How did they compromise with the prince? They had clearly made up their minds. No matter what the prince said, they would take their sister with them today.
Going home.
The next day, His Royal Highness finally went to court.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet gotten married, and it is really inappropriate for him to spend time with Chu Yunxi every day!"
"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought and the people are about to be in dire straits. Yet His Highness the Crown Prince is so addicted to women. How can he be so responsible? Your Majesty, please interrogate the Crown Prince!"
"Your Majesty, Chu Yunxi, as a woman, does not know how to behave. She charms His Highness the Crown Prince and does not ask about the government affairs. She is really a witch who is causing harm to the country! I beg the Emperor to hold her accountable."
Jun Lingyun originally just listened and did not get angry. He wanted to see clearly the forces that were impeaching him. However, when he heard that someone was impeaching Chu Yunxi, his eyes suddenly turned cold and stern.
The man felt the prince's icy gaze and retreated with his neck shrinking.
"Don't make false claims. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and my daughter are an unmarried couple. Even if they have some interactions, they are legitimate. How can we allow others to slander them at will?"
General Chu also had a cold face and showed the majesty of a general. The atmosphere in the hall was like a battlefield, with distinct factions and an explosive situation.
When the emperor saw that the ministers were almost quarreling, he said: "Prince, what do you say about this matter?"
Jun Lingyun bowed to the emperor and then said something shocking.
"Whoever among you can solve the current drought, stand up now. I will allow him to be impeached. Please shut yourself up and think about your mistakes! If no one stands up, no one will dare to say anything about me in the future. My cold sword will last for a long time.
No blood was seen."
Apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Xiao, whoever dares to say that they can bear the drought on their own must be someone who can coordinate various departments well.
Mr. Xiao Guogong is too cunning to jump out at this time. But there are some people who are just born calves who are not afraid of death.
"Your Highness, you are too arrogant. The emperor is still here, and you dare to talk about killing officials. You, you are treasonous. Where do you put the emperor?"
A fifth-rank official stood up to provoke. All the courtiers closed their eyes in sympathy. For so many years, the emperor had clearly allowed the prince's arrogance.
When the law does not punish the crowd, it is enough to follow the crowd and dance a few times. Now it is necessary to stand out. In this court where a first- and second-grade official can be picked out at random, how can you, a fifth-grade official, have your turn?
