Eunuch Mo raised the curtain and entered the door, and saw Emperor Mingwen who had an angry look on his face just now. Now his face and eyes were smiling.
"Oh, Chu Shanggong is still very powerful. The moment you come, the emperor will smile from ear to ear."
After saying this, Emperor Mingwen glanced at Eunuch Mo angrily: "Talk too much!"
"Yes, this slave is talking too much." Eunuch Mo pretended to slap himself, with a smile on his face: "
Chu Shanggong, please do well and plead with the emperor for me."
Chu Yunning said angrily: "Glib tongue!"
"Hey, Your Majesty, I have prepared Yangcheng's special lunch for you and Chu Shanggong. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. Just let me make amends for my sins."
Emperor Mingwen hummed, and then said after a while: "That's right!"
There were only two people at lunch, so Emperor Mingwen personally served her a bowl of soup: "Ever since you became ill, your appetite has not improved. Eat more."
"Does the emperor treat this minister as a child?" Chu Yunning was a little dumbfounded.
Emperor Mingwen laughed, and the two of them were speechless.
The next day, rumors were flying in the streets of Yangcheng that the Southern Emperor was lustful, plundered the people's wealth, was harsh on the people, wasted no time on human life, and so on.
The people who didn't know the truth began to get upset and surrounded the mansion early in the morning.
Even from a distance, Chu Yunning could hear the noise outside and couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes rumors stop at the wise, but there are a few wise men out there. The best way to deal with messages is to fight violence with violence."
Although I don't recommend it, you have to use this method when you have no choice but to do so.
Emperor Mingwen said calmly: "Don't worry yet, the big fish hasn't surfaced yet."
The restlessness continues.
Emperor Mingwen was not in a hurry. Instead, he was more leisurely and relaxed as he practiced calligraphy with Chu Yunning, taking each stroke seriously.
"The emperor's handwriting is so good, I admire it!"
No wonder she started practicing it when she was young. It looks much better than her chicken claw calligraphy.
"If your Majesty has time, please copy me another Meditation Sutra." Yesterday's Meditation Sutra was accidentally torn by her.
I couldn't remember the second half of it at all, so I had to trouble Emperor Mingwen.
Emperor Mingwen did not hesitate, he just picked up the pen and started copying. It took him two full hours to write without even raising his head.
Eunuch Mo was still feeling distressed, so he brought a cup of hot tea in on the way, but Emperor Mingwen gave him a sharp look, which frightened Eunuch Mo and ran away.
"Your Majesty, do you want to take a rest?" Chu Yunning asked.
Emperor Mingwen shook his head: "No need."
"Your Majesty, the Jingxin Sutra requires you to calm down before you can copy it..." Obviously Emperor Mingwen's mind was already confused. His words were not messy, but his speed was much slower, and he would also take a break from time to time. If this goes on, when will he be able to finish writing?
ah.
Emperor Mingwen raised his eyes and squinted at Chu Yunning: "No one has ever dared to dislike me. Do you know how much money my authentic works can be sold among the people?"
Instinctively, Chu Yunning's eyes lit up, her brows raised and she blurted out: "How much?"
He guessed almost all of her subconscious reactions, and even her expressions were exactly as expected.
Emperor Mingwen deliberately kept a straight face and pretended to be displeased: "Chu Yunning, do you know that selling the emperor's autograph is a capital crime!"
After saying this, Chu Yunning subconsciously shrank her neck and looked at Emperor Mingwen with a guilty conscience: "I was just talking casually. I will naturally keep the emperor's original work."
"Humph, that's good, don't let down all my hard work!" Emperor Mingwen rubbed his sour wrist, lowered his head and continued to copy.
Chu Yunning hurriedly stepped forward to grind.
The two of them seemed to be back in the past in the Council Hall, one by one reviewing the memorials, and no one disturbed them.
An hour later, Emperor Mingwen stopped writing and lowered his head to dry the ink. Eunuch Mo, who was outside the door, listened to the commotion outside and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li wants to see you."
It's Mr. Li again.
"I don't know how many people Mr. Li has brought this time. I am still thinking about Mr. Li's twenty taels of silver."
Emperor Mingwen glared at Chu Yunning angrily: "Do you love money so much?"
Countless possessions and wealth are not enough for her to squander?
"Who would mind if money pricks their hands?" Chu Yunning asked with a hum.
In desperation, Emperor Mingwen waved his hand to her, and Chu Yunning quickly retreated, passing from the other side, still standing at the end.
"Hey, you're here too."
Still in the same formation as yesterday, the slightly chubby little girl waved to Chu Yunning: "I heard that several courtesans came today, and all of them are peerless beauties, worth a thousand taels of silver."
"Oiran may not be favored by the Emperor of the South End. It's better for us to be clean." Another thin woman curled her lips in amusement and pointed at the graceful girl not far away: "Don't you know, yesterday's lotus flower
My sister was left behind and was favored."
Lianhua turned around after hearing the words, and Chu Yunning was stunned by that face.
"Hey, why does this person look familiar?" the thin woman said.
The one named Lianhua looks very similar to Chu Yunning. If you didn’t look carefully, you would think they were the same person.
If Chu Yunning hadn't believed in General Chu's character, she would have definitely thought that this person was her twin sister.
Aunt Sheng appeared last time in Prince Xiao's Mansion, and now a Lotus appears again...
Obviously Lianhua also noticed Chu Yunning and shouted out loud: "Why are you here?"
The expression on her face was as if she knew her.
Chu Yunning was puzzled that the original owner did not recognize Lianhua at all in his memory. This was also his first time in Yangcheng.
"Are you Sister Chu?"
Does she know her surname is Chu?
This is strange.
"Sister Chu, it's been so hard for me to find you." Lianhua covered her mouth and sobbed softly, swallowing her voice and said: "Back then, my father favored my mother at the border and left. My mother didn't allow me to find my father, but
My mother died of illness last year, and I couldn't live any longer. When I was planning to go find my father, I was caught by Yangcheng soldiers on the way, but I didn't expect to meet Sister Chu here."
Lotus said and couldn't help crying.
Chu Yunning's face turned dark, and she said angrily: "Girl, you got the wrong person.
My surname is not Chu, my surname is Ning."
She didn't believe a word of what Lianhua said. There were too many lost children in the world, especially in an era of underdeveloped technology, it was impossible to find them.
But Lianhua happened to appear, and when they met, she called out her last name and made it up randomly. She must have inquired in advance that General Chu was not accompanying the army this time.
There is no evidence for bullying her.
Lian Hua was slightly stunned, why was it different from what was said? The woman in the scroll was the person in front of her, how could she not be Chu Yunning?
"Isn't your father General Chu?" Lianhua asked.
Chu Yunning sneered: "General Chu is an upright and clean person. How could I have such a father? However, my father does have some connections with the Chu family, but he is just another bloodline of the Chu family."
She immediately denied the idea that she was the daughter of General Chu.
Because she believed that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for her later.
Lianhua was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to proceed. Chu Yunning added: "As far as I know, General Chu has been guarding the border all year round. Why does your mother want to prevent you from finding your biological father? Is it your mother?"
There is nothing shameful about your identity. I don’t know how many people have spread rumors and caused trouble in the name of General Chu along the way. I advise you to think twice before proceeding. General Chu is the God of War in the south and cannot be doubted."
"I..." Lianhua's guilty eyes kept darting around. He took a deep breath and insisted that his father was General Chu.
Chu Yunning smiled again and said: "Since you are so sure that you are General Chu's daughter, the Emperor of Nanduan will not treat you badly. You have become rich, so don't forget us."
"That's right."
A group of people surrounded Lianhua and flattered him. Lianhua had never seen such a scene before. At that time, he was a little carried away and said to everyone: "Don't worry, when I recognize my father, I will definitely not forget my sisters."
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the leader, Mr. Li. Chu Yunning turned his head slightly, and Mr. Li cast his gaze on the lotus head, attracted by her beauty.
"Where are you from and why have you never seen it before?"
"Sir, I was really desperate, so I got into it and wanted to see the emperor of Nanduan." Lianhua's voice became louder and louder, and she shouted: "Please make the decision, the emperor. The civilian daughter is Chu Lianhua, the daughter of General Chu of Nanduan."
Eunuch Mo was attracted by the voice and couldn't help but poke his head around. He was startled when he saw it: "Your Majesty, isn't that Chu Shang Palace? Wait, it doesn't seem to be the case, but it looks very similar."
He almost got it wrong.
Emperor Mingwen stood by the window and looked outside, frowning and said, "It doesn't look like it at all, so go ahead!"
Well……
Eunuch Mo scratched his head. He had no idea how Chu Shang Palace planned to deal with this fake.
But seeing the impatient look on Emperor Mingwen's face, Eunuch Mo didn't dare to ask, so he had to go out, pretending not to know Chu Yunning, and said coldly to Lianhua: "You are the one who is slandering General Chu. What evidence do you have to prove that you
Is she the daughter of General Chu?"
"I have a letter written by General Chu." Lianhua took out a letter, and the handwriting on the letter was indeed that of General Chu.
But the traces of imitation are too obvious.
"What else?" Eunuch Mo stuffed the letter into his sleeves calmly. Lianhua stomped her feet aggrievedly: "How do I know this? I only know that my father is General Chu. I am here to find my relatives, not to find my relatives."
Troublesome."
As he said this, Lianhua started to cry.
When the people present saw this, they actually started to sympathize with Lianhua. This was so pitiful.
Eunuch Mo said with a cold face: "How presumptuous. You can slander the God of War in the South with just a few words. I think you are tired of living. Come on, get this man!"
Lianhua was dumbfounded, why would she lose her life? Just as she was struggling, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The next second, a large mouthful of black blood spurted out, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
"Ah! Someone is dead!"
Most of these people have never seen much of the world. They only know how to make money, and they will sell anything to make money.
They all began to flee.
There was a loud bang and the second door was locked.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
One by one, the crowd began to fall down, their mouths filled with black blood, and they curled up and began to twitch. It only took a moment.
More than thirty people all fell to the ground dead.
Mr. Li stood there dumbfounded, and suddenly felt a severe pain in his heart. Seeing this, Chu Yunning quickly pierced his heart with a silver needle.
But it was still a step too late, Mr. Li fell down with his eyes wide open.
Chu Yunning had a livid face and was displeased. These people were all given medicine, and it was the same medicine with different dosages.
"Quickly, pick out thirty people, put on their clothes, put on their veils, and leave from the mansion."
Seemingly aware of the other party's conspiracy, Chu Yunning immediately stated that he would find the scapegoat who took the blame as soon as possible.
As for the choice?
Yun Lan is the most suitable person to depose the crown prince.
Chu Yunning made half of the human skin masks in the shortest possible time, and the rest left with their veils on.
"Then what should Master Li do?" Eunuch Mo pointed at Master Li on the ground.
Chu Yunning raised a sneer on his lips, put on Master Li's human skin mask, and transformed into Master Li.
"Chu Shanggong, what are you..."
"Go and meet the big fish at the back." Chu Yunning patted the clothes Mr. Li wore without any disdain and walked away.
"Wait a minute!" Emperor Mingwen suddenly called her and said angrily: "You just left like this. Do you really think you are a great god and can avoid all disasters?"
Chu Yunning was stared at and felt numb all over.
"I don't trust you alone." Emperor Mingwen had already taken off his coat, casually took off the clothes from the guards and put them on his body. He also smeared a layer of dust on his face, making him look like an ordinary guard.
Seeing this, Chu Yunning's mouth twitched, and she had no choice but to say a few words to Eunuch Mo, and then went out with Emperor Mingwen.
Go all the way west.
Chu Yunning also deliberately pretended to be injured and stumbled towards the suburbs. Emperor Mingwen supported her and gritted his teeth: "You are really not afraid of death. You think your life is too long, so you dare to use yourself as bait. It seems
Usually I am too spoiled to you."
"Aren't I curious to know who the other party is?"
Emperor Mingwen was angry and angry, and said angrily: "I must be crazy to accompany you to do this nonsense!"
The two of them pretended to be fleeing while talking, and when they arrived in the suburbs, they attracted many men in black.
Emperor Mingwen immediately protected Chu Yunning in his arms, while drawing the soft sword from his waist and fighting back the enemy.
After a while, hundreds of guards descended from the sky and surrounded the man in black.
"Give him a living mouth!" Emperor Mingwen said.
Just a moment later, the fight was over. Seeing that something was wrong, the men in black began to commit suicide. Unfortunately, they were a step too late and were saved by the guards who gave them acupuncture.
A total of ten people were captured, and the rest all bit out the poison in their mouths and died.
Emperor Mingwen raised his chin: "Take it back and make sure that someone tells you the truth!"
Sometimes it is easy to die, but it is difficult to ask for death. Very few suspects who fall into the hands of Jinwuwei can withstand the criminal law without telling the truth.
"If you dare to betray the master, you will die!" One of the men in black threatened fiercely to Mr. Li dressed as Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning curled her lips: "Survival is the most important thing. Your family has been killed by the master a long time ago, but you are stupid enough to sacrifice your life for her."
"impossible!"
"I took the people there myself."
These words were meant to deceive the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party said angrily: "This is unreasonable. I went through fire and water for Dongling, and you actually dare to abandon me!"
