At this moment, Zhang Tailiu was standing among a group of ministers. The prime minister was naturally surrounded by people wherever he went.
While he was smiling and listening to the Minister of Rites talking about the recent good days, a figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Zhang Tailiu frowned, thinking he was dazzled.
How could she be here...
However, the next call made him realize that it was not him who was dizzy just now, but Zhang Qingjiu was really here!
After waving the token given by Chu Wei in front of the guard, Zhang Qingjiu easily entered the palace gate and shouted to the crowd not far away, "Father!"
"Prime Minister Zhang, isn't that... your daughter?" A courtier who had met Zhang Qingjiu at the last blessing feast said "Hey", "Why did she come in? Could it be that she has something urgent to do with you?"
"I'll go take a look." Zhang Tailiu's mouth twitched, and his steps were a little anxious.
Doesn’t this unfilial daughter know that breaking into the palace gate is a capital crime? Could it be that she wants to kill the entire family?
However, Zhang Tailiu was anxious in his heart, but he did not dare to show any anger on his face. He trotted all the way to Zhang Qingjiu, already out of breath, even his crown was a little crooked.
Seeing his appearance, Zhang Qingjiu curved the corners of his mouth and blinked, "Father is getting older, so you need to exercise more, otherwise you won't be able to sleep soundly at night in the future."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Is this a place where you can come? Get back here quickly!" Zhang Tailiu was so angry at this sentence that he lowered his voice and shouted.
"I'm not going back." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, turned around and stepped back, standing next to a figure, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought me here."
As soon as Chu Kuo entered the palace gate, he saw a figure in the distance who was dressed in white and was incompatible with the many courtiers wearing red and purple court uniforms.
The morning breeze blew by, her skirt fluttered, her black hair was flying like willow silk, her slender waist was full of silk, and I felt pity for her tall and tall body. The sunlight hit her white side face, like a flawless jade.
.
In an instant, Chu Kuo's heart skipped a beat.
However, when he saw the person next to her, Chu Kuo couldn't help but frown.
How could she be the prince? Could this woman be from the prince's residence?
But after all, he was unwilling to give in. Chu Kuo gradually walked forward and slowly felt that the woman in front of him seemed a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...
"It's you?!" When he was still five steps away, Chu Kuo finally remembered where his sense of familiarity came from.
Isn't this Zhang Qingjiu who ruined his good deeds in Zhang Mansion? Why is she here?
Hearing the sudden sound, Zhang Qingjiu frowned, glanced at Chu Kuo lightly, and finally landed somewhere on his body, "Who are you? Why are you making such a loud noise so early in the morning? I feel so idle that my balls hurt.
?”
Her voice was not lowered at all when she said this. Although the courtiers present did not know what this sentence meant, they could still tell that it was definitely insulting! Si! Wen!
Chu Lan frowned slightly and moved his body two steps to the side, widening the distance between him and Zhang Qingjiu.
Chu Kuo looked at Zhang Qingjiu and remembered his heart-beating feeling just now. When he heard these words, he felt shocked, suspicious, and even a little annoyed.
Others couldn't understand, but he seemed to know what Zhang Qingjiu was talking about, and subconsciously moved his legs to block Zhang Qingjiu's sight.
But if it is as he guessed...
Thinking of the time when he was in pain for a whole day but couldn't find an imperial doctor, Chu Kuo showed a sneer on his lips and turned to look at Zhang Tailiu, "As the leader of hundreds of officials, have you forgotten that outsiders have invaded privately?"
How guilty is the palace?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Tailiu's reply, he shouted coldly, "Come here, help me capture this thief!"
After hearing Chu Kuo's order, a group of people immediately gathered around. The originally quiet crowd was just chirping, but immediately there was a sound of armor hitting the ground.
"Eight, Your Highness Eighth?" Zhang Tailiu was a little stunned when he saw this posture. He wished he could never see this daughter in front of him again, but if he was taken away in public today and His Majesty pursued him, it would be hard to say what happened to him.
Already.
"Why are you still standing there? You haven't taken it yet!" However, Chu Kuo didn't even look at Zhang Tailiu.
"Bad girl, why don't you kneel down and beg His Highness the Eighth Prince?" Zhang Tailiu was so angry that he slapped Zhang Qingjiu on the face.
No one at the scene expected this slap, not even Zhang Tailiu expected that it would hit him if he swung it casually. Even the guards who were about to step forward were stunned for a moment.
Only Zhang Qingjiu, because of the force of the slap, turned her face to one side, and others could not see her expression clearly.
Chu Kuo smiled coldly, feeling indescribably happy in his heart, and waved his hand again.
Seeing that the guards around him were about to step forward and take the person down, suddenly a cold voice came from behind everyone, "Who dares?"
Chu Kuo frowned fiercely, and turned to look at the people who followed him and separated on both sides to make way for him. A trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "Zhang Xiang knows how to kill relatives for justice, could it be that the prince wants to knowingly let go of those who violate the law?
A man of the law?”
"She was brought in by me, how can she say that she violated the law?" Walking to Zhang Qingjiu, Chu Lan glanced at the woman who still had her eyes lowered, and moved forward to block the people who were still there.
Look at her with different looks.
"You!" Chu Kuo was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Chu Lan would say such a thing, but soon he smiled again with provocative eyes, "Since the prince wants to protect him, I naturally won't say much.
But if my father is to blame for this, don’t blame me, my younger brother, for not reminding you."
The Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince have been at odds with each other for more than a day, and this is something everyone in the court knows.
Although the prince is his majesty's direct descendant, the current queen has no power and is more like a commoner. How can she be compared to the eighth prince's mother-in-law, who is the legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo Duke who has made great achievements in the war.
As a result, although Chu Lan was deeply loved by Chu Wei, some courtiers still had different ideas in mind.
So much so that when the two princes met, no one dared to come forward to persuade them.
"Thank you, Eighth Brother, for reminding me." Chu Lan narrowed his eyes, and Qingfeng Langyue's voice became a little deeper, "I will explain it to my father."
After all, he was seriously ill, and because he had not slept for a long time last night, his thin figure actually looked a bit shaky like a willow.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Zhang Qingjiu took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, walked to Chu Lan's side, and looked at Zhang Tailiu, "I will ask you one thing, but do you really want to kill your relatives out of justice?"
Her fair cheeks were flushed, and her five finger prints were clearly visible, like silent accusations.
Zhang Tailiu's expression changed. Until now, he still hadn't figured out why that slap landed on Zhang Qingjiu's face.
Now that things have happened, he simply goes along with the flow, "I don't have any daughters who don't know etiquette and don't follow the law!"
Zhang Qingjiu raised the corners of his lips, used his hand as a knife, and drew a piece of skirt across the sky, "As you wish, Prime Minister."
Cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness! Everyone’s eyes changed.
Looking at the flying skirt, Zhang Tailiu's first reaction was to widen his eyes in disbelief, "You know martial arts?"
It's a pity that he couldn't get the answer. The moment the gauze skirt fell to the ground, the door of the Yizheng Hall opened.
