Considering safety, the lotus pond in the palace will never be dug too deep. What is the difference between committing suicide by diving and hanging yourself with your hair?
No one answered, because there was no way to answer. They just slipped ashore covered in dirt and mud.
The lotus pond looked beautiful when it was in bloom, but underneath it was all black silt. They had been flopping around for so long, and they were all in a dark and miserable state.
Chen Ruoshui was wet and trembling, and she didn't know whether it was from cold or anger.
"Chen Ruoshui, if you sincerely want to die, wiping your neck directly is the most efficient. A sharper knife will cut the aorta directly. Even the gods can't save you. You are shouting that you want to prove your innocence by death, but you do this to me. I am shocked to see it.
dislike."
Chen Ruoshui was on the verge of collapse and almost fainted. Chu Xingchen said directly, "Chen Ruoshui broke into the East Palace without permission, had an affair with the Eastern Palace's chosen servant, and put her in jail first."
Fan Shizi felt heartbroken when he heard that he was being imprisoned for such a crime. He couldn't help but plead, "Your Highness, she did something wrong. I will bring her to plead guilty in the future, but she will die if she is imprisoned like this."
, I dare to beg for mercy, for the sake of her not hurting anyone, please take back her life..."
Chu Xingchen looked at Fan Shizi with rotten lotus leaves on his head, his eyes searching, "Are you so in love with Chen Ruoshui that you can't care about anything else, or are you begging for mercy because you want to avenge her for cuckolding you today and deliberately retaliate against her?
"
"What you said reminds me that I should add one more charge of Chen Ruoshui murdering the concubine."
Fan Shizi was completely confused, "What?"
"Fan Shizi is right. She didn't hurt anyone today, but what if she wants to hurt someone tomorrow? In the heavily guarded palace, Chen Ruoshui, a woman, can come and go freely, and she can safely enter the Yuhua Palace where the door is locked and guarded.
If I have a private meeting with someone, what if she goes directly into my bedroom and kills me next time?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Prince Fan's expression became even more ugly, because Chu Xingchen's words once again reminded him that the cuckold on his head did not count, and also made him think that Chen Ruoshui's behavior would also affect the uncle's house.
"Chen Ruoshui has been charged with an additional crime. As for you, Xie Ziqing... Your Majesty's birthday banquet today is not suitable for seeing blood. Please wait two days before execution."
Xie Ziqing was previously banned and could still move around in the Yuhua Palace, but now he was directly imprisoned and was even more deprived of freedom.
The two of them were dragged down, and Prince Fan once again received sympathetic and strange looks from everyone. His face was ashen, and he ignored Chen Ruoshui's cry for help when he was dragged down. He was smelly and cold, and finally ran away with his face covered.
Chu Xingchen looked at Fan Shizi's back and raised the corner of his mouth. This princess is not bad. She can insult people casually and deal with people personally. It's always fun to fight and be a princess.
Next time Prince Fan and a group of men dare to jump out again, she will definitely press them down until they die!
Although Chen Ruoshui and the others made quite a fuss, they could not get out of the East Palace no matter how loud they made it. Chu Xingchen handled it in a timely manner and it did not affect the birthday banquet in the evening at all.
The few people who had eaten the dumplings had already voluntarily left the palace. Chu Xingchen went back to chat and laugh without any trace of what had happened.
Xu Dandan, on the other hand, had been absent-minded ever since he bumped into Xie Ziqing and Chen Ruoshui. Seeing that Chu Xingchen acted like nothing, he pursed his lips.
When there was no one around Chu Xingchen, she walked over and said, "Are you over the sadness? I blamed you before... I'm sorry."
She apologized awkwardly. Chu Xingchen smiled and said vaguely, "That's about right. Don't feel too uncomfortable. It's good to see clearly."
Chu Xingchen knew that Xu Dandan was feeling the most uncomfortable at this moment, "There will be something good at the banquet later."
"What good stuff?"
"You'll know when the time comes." What Chu Xingchen was talking about was wine. Xu Dandan was heartbroken, so he probably needed wine. After drinking, he would feel better if he didn't cry or curse, and if he vented his anger, he would feel better.
At Grand Prince Gui's birthday banquet, everyone hurriedly rushed to see the royal liquor for the first time. At first, everyone didn't notice it, but when everyone celebrated, they were shocked when they took the first sip of the liquor.
The taste is sweet but like fire, "This wine?"
Chu Xingchen advertised Royal Spirits. The spirits amazed everyone and conquered many people instantly.
The birthday banquet had just begun, and the atmosphere became lively because of the royal liquor.
Chu Xingchen was very satisfied and whispered to Shen Cangzhu on the right, "A batch of these wines will be sent to the border first."
"It's cold in northern Xinjiang, so the soldiers must like these spirits very much."
"Well, I asked Lingzhou." Chu Xingchen nodded.
The smile on Shen Cangzhu's lips dropped a little, and he lowered his head to sip the wine.
Chu Xingchen had already turned around and asked about the construction status of Xiao Wang's factory. Whether it was a winery or an alcohol factory, they had to be built separately, and they had to be heavily guarded and kept confidential.
Even the people working there must all be trustworthy.
The number of shadows is limited, and it is impossible to actually change jobs and become workers. Fortunately, Da Chu has a contract, so the problem is not big.
Whether it was building a factory or finding people, Chu Xingchen left it to Xiao Wang to handle. For this reason, he even gave him a sign to allow him to leave the palace for inspection and enter and leave the palace freely.
While Xiao Wang was talking to Chu Xingchen, he was observing the reaction of everyone at the birthday banquet after drinking. Since this was the first batch of customers, he naturally had to grasp the market reaction as quickly as possible.
Spirits are also divided into three alcoholic drinks. Female customers like some of them with low alcoholic drinks, and many male customers also like them. However, some people prefer high alcoholic drinks, and their faces turn red after drinking.
Chu Xingchen was also watching, and then he noticed something. Everyone was drinking, and Xiao Wang forgot to drink. He only touched his lips every time he raised a glass.
"Why don't you drink?"
Hearing Chu Xingchen's question, Xiao Wang froze. He didn't dare to turn his head to look at her for a moment, and just said vaguely, "Now... I won't drink for the time being."
This was the sequelae of Xiao Wang's drunkenness. Xiao Wang had never been drunk before, and he would not let himself relax like that. As a result, he tasted strong alcohol and got drunk off guard last time.
He didn't even know that he was like that when he was drunk, and he remembered everything after he woke up.
Xiao Wang was so embarrassed in front of Chu Xingchen when he got drunk for the first time, and he had already vowed not to drink again in this life.
He felt very uncomfortable when he thought of what he had done before. Chu Xingchen never thought that he would still remember it. After all, it is normal for everyone to cry and laugh when they are drunk. Xiao Wang was fine too. She thought Xiao Wang was too tired.
"If you don't want to drink, just eat more food." Chu Xingchen looked at it, leaned forward and gave Xiao Wang a chopstick of the still-warm food, "I've worked hard on you during this time."
Chu Xingchen leaned forward and got a little closer to Xiao Wang. The hair on his shoulders fell down, and when he glanced at Xiao Wang's lips, he felt numb.
"Your Highness, you're welcome." Xiao Wang avoided, feeling very uncomfortable, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Naturally, he wanted to eat the food that Chu Xingchen personally served, but he didn't notice the angry look coming from not far away.
As one of the six ministers, Xiao Shangshu naturally had to have such a banquet, and he also brought his family members.
Xiao Shangshu looked at Xiao Wang and Chu Xingchen and drank two more glasses of wine with great joy.
The concubine and Xiao Cheng next to him had ugly expressions. For the sake of face, the concubine had to laugh even if she was smiling, but Xiao Cheng really couldn't laugh.
Xiao Wang, who had always been stepped on by him, was actually sitting on top of him, and the princess was actually so kind to him.
