This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 636
That night, unitary time.

Wen Ruyan was discussing with Liu Shiru and other officials in the hall about all matters related to the reconstruction of Jingzhou. Manpower is sometimes poor, and he is not omnipotent. Sometimes it is really impossible to clean up such a big mess with him alone. .

But to be honest, the upright officials that Ji Yuan found did have some smacks. For every suggestion made by Wen Ruyan, a group of people would argue for a long time, and sometimes even quarrel with red faces. They were all settled one by one amid such quarrels.

If it wasn't for Liu Shiru coughing non-stop at the end, and cryptically reminding him several times that it was getting late, Wen Ruyan even felt that these people would be noisy until dawn!
All the officials got up and saluted Wen Ruyan respectfully, then turned and left Wen Ruyan's mansion with more than enough satisfaction.

This ceremony was actually not all because of Wen Ruyan's identity, but because of all the suggestions Wen Ruyan put forward. The quarrel tonight actually revolved around Wen Ruyan.

To be honest, these officials really admired Wen Ruyan at this moment. Who would have thought that His Highness Prince Jing, whom they looked down on before, would have such talent?
After they left, Wen Ruyan let out a long sigh of relief with a smile, picked up the cup of cold tea and drank it down in one gulp.

After discussing for so long tonight, even though his mouth is a little parched, he is still very satisfied with the final result. At least many of his deficiencies have been pointed out tonight, which makes Wen Ruyan has enough confidence in the future construction of Jingzhou.

After he finished drinking the bowl of herbal tea, Ji Yuan suddenly walked in and cupped his hands to Wen Ruyan and said, "Your Highness, Miss Chu Chu is here to look for you."

Wen Ruyan was taken aback for a moment, and then directly sighed.

Ji Yuan naturally understands why his highness looks like this, but he understands it, but he still asks in an unbearable tone: "Why don't you see it?"

Wen Ruyan put down the teacup, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.

Not long after, Chu Yue walked into the hall under Ji Yuan's leadership, and when Wen Ruyan saw Chu Yue's current appearance, he finally understood the reason for Ji Yuan's unbearable expression just now.

Chu Yue, who was standing in front of Wen Ruyan at this moment, had dull eyes and a morbid paleness on her small face. Wearing the dress of ordinary people, she seemed to have lost all her energy and energy. She looks as lively and cute as before.

Standing in front of Wen Ruyan, she didn't dare to lift her head. She hid her little hands in her sleeves, and her legs trembled slightly from time to time. After a while, she bowed down and saluted Wen Ruyan. He said in his mouth: "I have seen it. I have seen His Highness Prince Jing."

From the beginning to the end, she never looked up at Wen Ruyan.

Maybe I didn't dare, or maybe I didn't want to.

While she was saluting, her right hand poked out from her sleeve, and Wen Ruyan saw the blood bubbles on her finger at that time, she was as firm as him, and felt a slight throbbing pain in her heart at this time.

At this moment, many images suddenly appeared in Wen Ruyan's mind.

Chu Yue sent him food to the accountant's room. The two of them sat on the same table, fighting over a piece of meat. Wen Ruyan teased her, and she deliberately put her arms around Wen Ruyan's neck and threatened to choke her in anger. kill him; two people go out on the same horse.

And that night, when Chu Yue was held in his arms, her two small arms wrapped around his neck, her face was already blushing but she still looked into his eyes with burning eyes, and said it several times in succession.

I like you!

At that time, Chu Yue was like a little fairy who had no worries at all, bouncing around all day, how happy she was!

look at it now
When Wen Ruyan planned to give her back her freedom, she was worried about the current situation. The members of Chu were guilty, and they must not be tolerated, but this would be tantamount to deeply hurting Chu Yue.

Wen Ruyan understood very well that the man he liked sent his father to prison with his own hands, how much this situation hurt a girl!

Wen Ruyan sighed again, and Chu Yue, who lowered her head, trembled slightly when she heard him sigh.

Wen Ruyan waved his hand, signaling Ji Yuan to back down, Ji Yuan took the order, and before leaving, he couldn't bear to look at Chu Yue again.

At this moment, only Wen Ruyan and Chu Yue were left in the hall. Wen Ruyan stepped forward to help Chu Yue, but Chu Yue immediately took a step back like a frightened bird.

Wen Ruyan's outstretched hand was frozen in the air.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You don't need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

"Minister, don't dare." Chu Yue said timidly.

"Sit down!" Wen Ruyan's voice suddenly became louder.

After being hit by him like this, Chu Yue's small mouth immediately became wavy, and she almost cried again.

"Sit down and say what you want to say, I'm not used to standing up."

Only then did Chu Yue look up at Wen Ruyan timidly, then walked to the side, and sat down cautiously.

"It was your mother who asked you to come to me, right? For your father."

Chu Yue nodded.

"Then you have nothing to say?"

Chu Yue raised her head, but she hesitated to speak. She had thought about it several times on the road, but in the end she couldn't say it at all.

Wen Ruyan looked at her and smiled, and said: "Do you want to say, please let me let your father go, you can bear his sins for him, you have to repay the kindness of your parents for raising you, as a child, you can't bear to see yourself Father is suffering in prison, you want to trade him out with yourself, right?"

As soon as Wen Ruyan finished speaking, Chu Yue immediately looked at him dumbfounded.

Wen Ruyan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Your mother must have taught you these words, right?"

Chu Yue was stunned for a while, then nodded with a bitter face, and then asked, "How did you guess that?"

"It's not difficult to guess, because your mother knows that it is impossible for me to throw you into the prison. If you force me like this, the probability of saving your father is indeed very high."

"I know that too, but I don't want to force you either." Chu Yue said in a low tone.

"So you didn't say that just now, did you?"

Chu Yue hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

To be honest, Chu Yue's behavior really made Wen Ruyan a little uncomfortable. He believed that Chu Yue really didn't want to force him, otherwise she would have come to find him the moment Chu Yuanwai was sent to prison.

After a long time, Wen Ruyan sighed and said, "Your father is indeed guilty."

Chu Yue's face immediately turned paler. How could she not know what Wen Ruyan said?In the past, she foolishly thought that her father was still very kind, but in the end when all the account books were made public, she discovered that the reason why Jingzhou had such a big problem had something to do with people like his father .

"At present, Jingzhou is trying to rebuild the system, and a large number of officials have been replaced. Now I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. I can't bend the law for personal gain." Wen Ruyan thought for a while, and still spoke out what was in his heart .

"However, I can promise you that your father will not suffer too much in prison. In the future when Jingzhou is rebuilt, I will give him a chance to reduce his sentence. If he can grasp it, I will release him for at most one year. , do you think this is okay?"
