Chapter 614 - Tsukimura-sama Chitose 39
Chu Zhi’s long and narrow black eyes were deep and deep, and he didn’t hide it too much.
After all, his ruthless image in the previous life has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he does not excuse, and there is nothing to defend.
She has seen her like that before, and if she hides it, she will be disappointed.
“I sent someone to warn them once or twice, and I deliberately picked some scary things so they didn’t have time to distract them.”
Most of the concubines in the harem have not very clean hands, and if they do something wrong, they are naturally easily frightened and begin to be suspicious.
They can talk about the past relatively calmly now, and there may be regrets, but all these things have turned into a determination to be better for each other.
She has never taken her past experiences as real because of time and space, and she has always kept them in her heart.
There is no complete comeback in this world. It is impossible to go back in time and space, and everything in the past does not exist. It still leaves traces, which are reflected in everyone’s heart.
Pull one hair and move the whole body, nothing more than that.
Luo Ci looked at Chu Zhi and said softly, “Thank you.”
A lot of times, it’s hard to get round through broken mirrors, or to put it more vulgarly, it’s the late affectionateness that is more cheap than grass.
Thank you he still likes her.
…
The emperor and King Huai’an talked for half an hour. This time, it was not about political affairs, but only about the past years. At that time, they were still ambitious and young people with high spirits, not because of this broken body, because of this lonely throne. .
The emperor’s voice was wistful, “If only I could go back to the past.”
At least, it won’t be like now, the wife is not like the wife, the son is not like the son, all staring at him, wishing that he died as soon as possible, so that he could inherit the throne.
He didn’t like any of those children, on the contrary, he only had some affection for Luo Ci.
At least, although that girl used to have a cold temperament, she would greet her once or twice when she met, and she also specially sent some good ginseng to her, but she just didn’t express her feelings very much. If it weren’t for his face, he would have been annoyed by the disturbance of the concubines in the harem, and no one would have said her if he refused directly.
Tough refusal will have someone say that she doesn’t take the current saint in the eye, which also means that Longyan is being provoked, which means that the emperor is incompetent.
Today, although it is not the same as before, it is not bad, at least… King Huai’an is still there, and they still care about themselves.
The emperor is suspicious. Once he sits on this dragon chair, he has to weigh the power of the courtiers. Even if it is not his own intention, he begins to become suspicious. Those ambitions have been wiped out in the past few years. Gotta be a mess.
The emperor also has memories of the past.
King Huai’an looked at him quietly, his eyes warm as jade, “Your Majesty, I can’t go back.”
The emperor was not annoyed, he laughed and said, “It’s true that I can’t go back.”
He had indeed been jealous of King Huai’an, and once listed him as a defensive target.
He has always been transparent and intelligent, how can he not see, so he began to distance himself early.
The emperor coughed violently again. Thinking of the early death of King Huai’an in his previous life, he couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Ci is still young and needs your attention.” Don’t… leave so early.
He knew that King Huai’an practiced martial arts since he was a child, and it was more than enough to live to the age of sixty or seventy, and the other party was bent on dying.
No matter how much he was afraid of the other party, he found out after his death that there was one less person in this world who was sincere to him.
King Huai’an was slightly startled and said warmly, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, this minister is not at ease with her, and I want to see her marry in the future. However, Your Majesty needs to take care of the dragon body and don’t work too hard.”
The emperor waved his hand, “…I know.”
In the past, I may still be able to call myself you and me, but later, everything has changed, and I have become a monarch and minister. Even if I want to change, it is impossible to change it back.
So be it.
At least, there are still people in this world who are genuinely worried about themselves, not for fame and fortune, not for power, but only for friendship in their youth.

The marriage gift spread throughout the harem on that day, and after the imperial decree arrived in the afternoon, almost everyone in the capital knew that Mingtang County Master was given marriage, which completely cut off the thoughts of those noble ladies.
Speaking of it, just because he wanted to take the family to a higher level through the identity of the county master, as a result, there were many “leftover men” in the capital. Some sons even dragged on to the age of 22, while the sons and brothers of the same age were all three or four years old. .
In addition, those noble ladies who choose this and that have no regard for the girls in the capital, and they have said some ugly and disgusting things. Now when they want to ask for another marriage, they are ridiculed by the girls, and they say “Have already been married.” “Marriage” countered back.
The ancient version of “I used to be disdainful of you, but now you can’t stand tall”.
Coupled with the dissatisfaction of the husband’s family, the resentment of the son, and the unpleasantness of the two sides, the ladies can only ridicule each other and expose each other’s shortcomings.
During the period, he also said that the master of Mingtang County had a bad vision, similar to “Don’t want the son of a famous family, you have to recruit the commoners of the mountains and wild people as his son-in-law”, and even involved the deceased princess, “The master of the county lost his mother since he was a child. The King of Huai’an is a man again, if the princess hadn’t passed away early, how could he have decided on a marriage so hastily.”
These words were said in private. They knew that King Huai’an took the initiative to ask His Majesty to confer the marriage. Although they knew that the marriage was unquestionable, they were too resentful and annoyed in their hearts, and they had wasted their son’s good time in vain.
It just so happened that an empress invited those noble ladies to speak together. The more the noble ladies said this, the happier the empress was, and the more excited they were.
As a result, the emperor heard it on the spot, the empress was downgraded to a beauty, and the other noble ladies also punished more or less.
The emperor was quite angry, and he did not stop there. He even named the ministers in the early morning of the second day and ordered them to control their wives.
He showed a rare toughness. After all, what was needed in the court was checks and balances, but today he didn’t take this into consideration.
After the morning court was over, the emperor coughed violently again, and the father-in-law on the side hurriedly handed over the tea. He drank the tea and calmed down.
“I didn’t expect these people to be so rude!”
Father-in-law comforted, “Your Majesty, don’t be angry for them.”
The emperor wanted to say something, but he just sighed, “I haven’t done much for them.”
In the past, because of suspicion and alienation, they can only stop others from slandering their reputation.
How did he not know that Chu Zhi, who had always been infatuated with the county lord, and had both means and resourcefulness, and climbed to the position of the director of the Yuechang step by step, he was also worthy of Xiaoci.
In the past, he joked once, saying that the other party was already a eunuch, how could he marry the princess.
But he didn’t expect to get a sincere answer from the other party, and he actually admitted that he had deceived the sky and escaped the punishment of the palace. This was considered a crime of deceiving the king.
