So much so that following behind her, Defu could feel a sense of shortness of breath.
However, he couldn't figure out why he was angry. He could only keep up with Zhang Qingjiu's pace, which was much faster than usual, and speed up his pace.
On the other side, in the imperial study room, Chu Wei looked at his son standing opposite him, with a little emotion in his eyes, and finally sighed softly, "Lan'er, I'm sorry, this is a father..."
He did not say the unique title of the Nine-Five Supreme Being, but chose to use the communication between father and son.
Chu Lan raised her eyes lightly, the expression on her face was as calm as ever, "Father, you don't have to be like this, I understand."
He knew that Chu Lan had a clear mind, but now, how could Chu Wei say nothing just because of his understanding.
Pulling Chu Lan to sit aside, Chu Wei said quietly: "This child Chu Kuo is proud and unruly. It is far more uncomfortable to be demoted to a commoner than to let him die. In this way... how long can he live?
It is his creation."
After all, Chu Kuo is his son after all. But now, this dispute seems to be worthless.
It was Chu Kuo who gave up the tie with him first.
"Father has a far-reaching plan, and he uses the eighth brother's affairs to establish virtue for his son. The son knows his father's good intentions." Chu Lan slowly raised his eyes and met Chu Wei's complicated gaze.
Chu Wei's eyes flashed, he looked at Chu Lan steadily for a while, and then suddenly said, "My father has also thought about it. If you insist on dealing with him immediately, your father will definitely support you, but in the end...actually,
What made you make this last choice was because of that girl."
Looking at his son who was not surprised by the favors and humiliations, but his expression suddenly changed due to his words, Chu Wei couldn't help but smile lightly.
Chu Lan understands his plan as he knows his son better than his father; why can't he see Chu Lan's thoughts?
If Chu Kuo was executed, in the name of the crown prince, everyone in the court wanted to say it, but they dared not discuss it openly; but after all, this matter was mixed with Zhang Qingjiu, she was not a member of the royal family after all, so she would not
As for the identity of the Crown Princess, some may say that she is seeking revenge for being humiliated by Chu Kuo.
There are even more ugly words like "Fox is charming and confuses the Lord".
Chu Lan let Chu Kuo go this time, just to let her pick him off cleanly.
But that girl was good, she was merciless inside and outside her words, and she meant to kill Chu Kuo in every word. If Chu Lan hadn't spoken, he would have been unable to withstand it...
Thinking of her decisive figure when she left, Chu Wei couldn't help but feel worried. Zhang Qingjiu had such a stubborn temper. If he was really angry, he might not be able to coax him back for a while.
Chu Wei sighed and patted his shoulder, "My father asked your mother to hold her for a while. You'd better explain it to her later. I think she'll be able to calm down once she knows."
After a pause, he added: "Actually, from my perspective, she was able to agree in the end because of you."
After Chu Wei started talking about Zhang Qingjiu, Chu Lan never spoke again.
He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. If his eyebrows hadn't been slightly frowned, it would have looked like he had no worries.
Seeing that Chu Lan still didn't speak, Chu Wei knew that he had something to worry about, "Did you get the imperial edict in your hand to her?"
Chu Lan then raised her eyes and said, "Not yet."
Not yet? No wonder...
Chu Wei touched his nose and said, "In that case, let me see what day is suitable for my father. Princess Xuan Shaoqing will come to the palace to discuss the wedding of you two."
Since these two children care about each other so much, it's time.
Besides, what if the acquired daughter-in-law really runs away?
Although, from that girl's perspective, her own son is worthy of her.
But it can't be beat by those who are discerning or not, they are all coveting it!
Thinking of the two juniors who went to Yongzhou during this period, one by one of his ministers asked their family members to go to the Wei Mansion, euphemistically speaking, they chatted and drank tea with Princess Shaoqing to relieve their fatigue. Chu
Wei couldn't help but frown.
If it weren't for Chu Xun secretly blocking it, these people wouldn't be able to level the threshold of the Wei Mansion?
On the other side, Zhang Qingjiu, who went to see Murong Qingwan, also arrived.
At the entrance of Murong Qingwan's palace, Zhang Qingjiu glanced at the plaque and paused.
Seeing her stop, Defu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stopped too, and asked slightly uneasily: "Why doesn't Mr. Xiao Zhang leave?"
"You don't need to report?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"Oh oh oh..." Being reminded like this by her, Defu couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts all the way here that he almost forgot about the business.
When I thought of His Majesty's instructions, I coughed quickly and said, "Queen, Sir Xiao Zhang is here."
As Defu finished his report, there was a rush of footsteps inside. He heard the sound of someone before he was seen, "Why are you here? I also said that if you don't come again, I will go to your house to see you."
Got you."
Murong Qingwan came directly to the door from inside, her tone full of joy and excitement, and took Zhang Qingjiu's hand.
Zhang Qingjiu looked at Murong Qingwan's surprise and raised her lips, "Didn't the Queen ask me to come here?"
"I think so..."
"Uh-huh!" Defu trembled in his heart and hurriedly made a sound.
Murong Qingwan's words were interrupted, and she glanced at the usually calm Defu with confusion, and said with concern: "De Fu, if you have a discomfort in your throat, you should be more careful and go to Tai Hospital for a checkup."
Normally, when Telford heard these words, he would be so grateful that he would kneel down and say thank you, but today...
But seeing Murong Qingwan's gaze immediately shifting to Zhang Qingjiu, Defu almost burst into tears and prayed to the Queen not to say more.
Besides, the secret is revealed.
Seeing Defu's face looking like he was about to cry, Zhang Qingjiu sneered and took Murong Qingwan's hand, "I know that the Queen is concerned about you, so Wei Chen came to see you right now."
"Sure enough, you are considerate." As soon as Zhang Qingjiu said these words, the smile on Murong Qingwan's face became even brighter, and he happily took her hand and walked inside, "Just by chance, two boxes of snacks were delivered from the imperial kitchen.
It’s said to be a fresh style, come and try it.”
"Okay." Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly and nodded.
When passing by Defu after entering the door, Zhang Qingjiu paused, glanced at the relieved Defu, and curved his lips with a hint of a smile, "Eunuch Defu, there won't be such a good opportunity next time."
Defu had just breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard her words, his scalp suddenly became numb and he was in a state of confusion.
It's over, it's over, why does he think Master Xiao Zhang knows everything?
In fact, there is no theory that the Empress had told her in advance that she would come here. Even the Empress did not know that she would enter the palace today.
All this is just an expedient measure by His Majesty to keep her.
If she hadn't spoken just now, let alone his words, His Majesty might not have been able to regain his dignity.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Qingjiu also had a slight smile on his lips.
If he hadn't been Chu Lan's biological father, this matter wouldn't have gone away so easily.
