Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 391 Chu Pingsheng: This is called using your body but not your heart

Chu Pingsheng came out of Guangxin Palace and, led by a young eunuch, passed by Funing Palace where the queen lived. He smelled a whiff of wine from afar. He deliberately took two steps around and took a few glances inside. He found that on such a hot day, the door of the main hall was tightly closed and the windows were not open. Even the eunuchs and palace maids on duty in the corridor did not look very energetic. They were either old, ugly, or stupid.

Sure enough, the concubine who was banished to the cold palace was miserable - although she was the queen and was not banished to the cold palace in name, it was only in name.

"Master Chu, don't look at it. That's the Queen's palace. The Queen... has a bad temper. Let's go quickly..."

The handsome young eunuch followed closely behind, never blinking his eyes. The reason was simple. When Chu Pingsheng entered the palace for the first time, Eunuch Hou arranged for two young eunuchs to take people for a stroll in the Imperial Garden. After a while, they lost the people. Afterwards, they were beaten with a stick in the court, and the two eunuchs were almost beaten to death.

In the words of Eunuch Hou, it was fortunate that it was a period of national mourning. If it were any other time period, the two would have been beaten to death. So now, when the eunuchs and maids in the palace heard the name "Chu Pingsheng", all of them were terrified.

"Why is she so bad-tempered?"

Chu Pingsheng asked even though he knew the answer.

"This……"

The young eunuch didn't know how to answer this question.

Just at this moment, three people came from the direction of Xingqing Palace. In the middle was Prime Minister Lin Ruofu in court robes, on the left was Ye Zhong in neat uniform, and on the right was Fan Xian in a silver-gray robe.

From a distance, the expressions of the three people were not good.

Chu Pingsheng stopped and walked towards him.

"My grandfather..."

The young eunuch quickly hugged his arm and said, "Sir, the way out of the palace is this way..."

"Why are you pulling me? He's my father-in-law. As a son-in-law, there's no way I can just turn around and walk away when I see him." Chu Pingsheng struggled twice but failed to break free.

Lin Ruofu on the other side saw the scene in front of him with a look of disgust on his face. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

Ye Chong asked coldly, "Did you hurt Ling'er?"

The day before yesterday evening, Ye Ling'er returned home to ask her mother for medicine to treat bruises and injuries, saying that she had sprained her wrist while practicing sword. After knowing this, he went to find his daughter and carefully examined the injury. He discovered that his daughter was lying. It was not a sprain caused by sword practice at all, but a blow from the palm of a master.

When asked who did it, she refused to tell the truth. Fortunately, her injury was not serious and she would recover after applying ointment and resting for a few days. So he did not force her to tell the truth. Until today, when Lin Ruofu, together with Chen Pingping and his personal soldiers or guards who died at the hands of Chu Pingsheng, went to the palace to make a face-to-face appeal, he learned that his daughter accompanied Lin Wan'er to the Protocol Court to find Chu Pingsheng that day. Thinking about the conversation between the father and daughter that night, the murderer who injured Ye Ling'er was about to be revealed.

"Yes, I did." Chu Pingsheng agreed without any hesitation.

"I promise, you will pay for this."

"You? Not qualified." Chu Pingsheng grinned: "Luckily you are my daughter. If it was you who attacked me that day, your coffin would be buried today..."

Little eunuch: "..."

Lord Chu is such a bad-mouthed person!
He dared to be so arrogant even when the white ape was not around.

Ye Zhong said: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Come here, then. They say that dogs that bite don't bark. Since you bark so much, I guess... you're the type that doesn't bite, right?"

"go to hell."

Ye Chong couldn't stand it any longer and was about to kill him.

The young eunuch quickly reminded him, "Captain Ye, this is the imperial palace, please respect yourself."

They still recognized the princess's attendants, so Ye Chong could only grit his teeth and disperse the strength in his hands.

Chu Pingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and provoked someone else instead.

"Look at my father-in-law's expression. The case has not been brought to justice."

Compared to Ye Zhong, a military commander, Lin Ruofu was better able to control his emotions. He said in a deep voice, "Since you like beautiful women, as long as you go to His Majesty to cancel the engagement, I can find you a hundred young and beautiful women."

Just as Chu Pingsheng said, the lawsuit was indeed not brought down today. The emperor said that Lin Wan'er's marriage was a family affair of the royal family, so he summoned the crown prince and the second prince to ask for their opinions. The two of them got angry after talking about all sorts of things, and even started fighting in the palace. The emperor was furious and scolded them for being disgraceful, and then told everyone to get out.

With the experience of someone like Lin Ruofu who has been in the officialdom for twenty to thirty years, how could he not see that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were trying to please Emperor Qing and smooth things over.

In other words, even if Chu Pingsheng slept with Si Lili, Emperor Qing was unwilling to cancel the marriage. He just didn't want to speak out and hurt the reputation of the Lin family, the Ye family, the Fan family and Chen Pingping.

Chu Pingsheng said with a smile: "Hey, how did Minister Lin know that I like beautiful women?"

The young eunuch glanced at him and thought that the first time Lord Chu entered the palace, he chased the palace maids in the Imperial Garden like a mountain king, and the day before yesterday he attacked the Supervisory Council for the top performer of Zuixianju. Now, everyone in the city knows that you are a sex-hungry ghost.

"Since you said so, canceling the engagement... is not out of the question..."

When these words were spoken, Lin Ruofu and Fan Xian's eyes lit up.

"Forget about a hundred. I'm not the kind of person who only cares about quantity and not quality. Let's put it this way. I've been in Kyoto for a few days. I heard that among the socialites in Kyoto, the best among those who are still unmarried is Fan Ruoruo, the daughter of Si Nanbo Fan Jian, in terms of talent. In terms of martial arts, it must be Ye Ling'er, the daughter of Ye Shoubei. As long as you agree to marry them both to me, I will go to His Majesty to cancel the engagement. How do you think?"

"You're dreaming!" Ye Zhong and Fan Xian said in unison.

The former had a murderous look on his face, while the latter had a gloomy look on his face. The domineering true energy gathered in his palms, about to be released but not yet.

Fan Xian said: "What do you think of Ruoruo? An item that can be exchanged?"

"Then why did you look hopeful when Lin Ruofu said he would give me 100 beauties in exchange for my breaking off the engagement and I said I could consider it?" Chu Pingsheng sneered, "You can't objectify your own sister, but if it's someone else's daughter, you can sacrifice her, right?" "..."

"Besides, is my request excessive?" He asked the young eunuch, "Who has a higher status, Princess Chen or Fan Ruoruo?"

Answer: Princess Chen.

"What about Ye Ling'er and Princess Chen?"

Answer: Princess Chen.

"So you see, it's fair."

Fan Xian said angrily: "Not everything in this world can be traded."

"You mean feelings can't be traded, right?" Chu Pingsheng looked at him with disdain: "But I don't want to talk about feelings, I just want to make a deal, and there is someone who can dominate everything about you who is willing to make a deal with me, that's enough."

"despicable."

"Well, I never considered myself a noble man."

After saying that, he laughed at Lin Ruofu: "Lin Ruofu, do you know who killed Lin Gong?"

Fan Xian's face was like a pool of thick ink, black and smelly.

Although Si Lili promised not to betray him, and Yuan Hongdao tortured her into confessing, but given her current relationship with Chu Pingsheng...what if she breaks her promise?

Lin Ruofu asked excitedly: "Who killed Lin Gong?"

Chu Pingsheng said word by word: "My master!"

Fan Xian was completely stunned.

What the hell? !
Chu Pingsheng's master? Bai Feng?!

The person who killed Lin Gong was obviously his uncle Wu Zhu, so how come it became Bai Feng?
I thought Chu Pingsheng was going to cut off his firepower, but who would have thought...

He thought and thought, but he couldn't figure out why Chu Pingsheng took on such a big blunder.

"Why? Gong'er has no grudge against you..."

Lin Ruofu's eyes were red and his court robes were shaking, or to be more exact, his body was shaking.

"A Grand Master needs a reason to kill someone?"

Chu Pingsheng looked at him with contempt. "Si Gu Jian killed so many people, but no one went to argue with him. But if you insist, I might as well make up a story for you. For example, your son was seen by a sheep-herding fool while on the run, so he ordered his thugs to kill the fool with a knife. My master and I roasted the sheep and ate it. It would be embarrassing to eat someone else's sheep for free. We have to pay for it. But what if the owner of the sheep is dead? So we killed your son to pay off the debt."

Ye Zhong said, "How dare you compare Prime Minister Lin's son with a fool?"

Chu Pingsheng said: "When your uncle dies under my master's sword, he will be no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside."

Who is Ye Zhong's uncle? Grandmaster Ye Liuyun. How powerful is his master Bai Feng? He could even kill Ye Liuyun?
The young eunuch was stunned.

I thought it was a miracle that this guy was still alive. He really didn't leave me any room for maneuver when he opened his mouth.

“Remember what you said today.” Ye Zhong looked at the high vermilion walls on both sides and regretted that this was the imperial palace. If not, he would have torn this kid into pieces.

"Gong'er, Gong'er... Mr. Chu, I...I am not done with you."

Lin Ruofu's body swayed and he almost fell down.

"Shibo."

Fan Xian hurriedly supported the man and said, "Let's leave here first."

After saying that, he and Ye Zhong carried the almost collapsed Lin Ruofu and walked forward.

"Rest in peace, father-in-law."

Chu Pingsheng waved and said goodbye with a smile.

"Master Chu."

"Ah."

The young eunuch rolled up his sleeves and raised his thumb to indicate.

"Okay, let's go."

"My lord please."

The young eunuch bowed and invited him, then led the way.

Chu Pingsheng followed with his hands behind his back.

Lin Ruofu said he was not done with me?
In this temple, from the one sitting on the dragon throne to the guards in front of the palace, he killed them all without even frowning.
