The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 217 Will it be a trap? (3)
"Qifeng is reckless. She shouldn't have done small tricks secretly for her own selfishness, and then refuted the face of the royal grandfather in front of outsiders, and almost caused my royal family to lose face!" After filing the case, the emperor kowtowed heavily, "Su Shizi, I found it!"

The emperor was still heaving a sigh of relief about Su Lin's matter. After hearing the words, he couldn't help but his complexion darkened, and he blurted out: "You still do it when you know it's reckless? You still do it when you know you shouldn't? Are you here to plead guilty? Do you think that the laws and regulations of our country in Xiyue are just for show?"

"Qifeng dare not!" Chu Qifeng touched his head to the ground, his attitude was always calm and unhurried.

The emperor watched, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't express it.

He liked this grandson very much. At first, it was because the two children of Donggong were born at the right time, so they fell in love with him. Later, he really valued this grandson's temperament. He was intelligent and insightful, and at a young age He has a strong character, is neither arrogant nor impatient in anything, and has a very calm and peaceful temper.

In fact, it stands to reason that Chu Qiyan might as well give way when it comes to knowledge and courage, but in my impression, although Chu Qiyan is thoughtful in everything, her temperament is quiet and introverted and overly suppressed.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the emperor himself had such a temperament, but now that he was older, he could not see Chu Qiyan who was exactly the same as him in character.

Chu Qifeng knelt in front of her, without fear or humility, but her attitude was genuine and sincere.

The emperor was distracted for a moment, then picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of tea, saying: "You kept telling me that you dare not, but you still insisted on doing the wrong thing first, now there are no outsiders here, you Tell me, what's on your mind?"

"Xunyang is Sun'er's younger sister!" Chu Qifeng said, looking up at the emperor's face.

The emperor frowned slightly, and then continued to drink tea calmly by bringing the teacup to his lips as if nothing had happened.

"With Princess Su's incident happening before, even if there is no grandson to come to the door for troublesome things, then Shizi Su will definitely go to the palace to ask for orders." Chu Qifeng didn't seem to notice the change in his expression, so he just continued, "Grandson I admit that I did have selfish intentions in this matter, and I just didn't want to let Xun Yang get involved in this quagmire. But from another perspective, if it wasn't for Shizi Su who just rushed to stop this matter first, but waited until the emperor's grandfather After the imperial decree of bestowing marriage to Xunyang, he will face the holy petition again. How will the grandfather deal with this matter? As the king of a country, the grandfather must put the subjects of the world first. At that time, he can't just protect Xun Yang just ignore the life and death of Princess Su, right? Since the result is the same anyway, why bother to let Xun Yang follow in with a reputation? And let the emperor's grandfather lose his trust in front of others?"

The emperor was caught off guard by Tuoba Huai'an regarding the matter of Su Wan. In fact, it was able to solve it in this way, which just happened to minimize the negative impact.

Chu Qifeng encouraged Su Lin to go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit, which was a mistake.

The emperor was silent for a moment, noncommittal, and after a while he pondered and said: "You said you did this just for that girl in Xunyang?"

"Yes, this matter is indeed out of Qi Feng's selfish intentions. No matter what the outcome of the matter is, it is true that Qi Feng disobeyed and ignored the emperor's grandfather's order. Qi Feng dare not excuse herself, please forgive me! " Chu Qifeng said.

In fact, he helped the emperor by mistake in this matter. Otherwise, as he said just now, once the emperor decrees to marry Chu Xunyang and Tuoba Huai'an first, then Su Lin will come to make trouble later. The Taoist decree still has to be overturned, and it will damage the majesty of the royal family and the emperor's own face at that time.

If he used this incident as an introduction to the emperor, he would not only be innocent, but also meritorious!
But it happens—

But he ran in the opposite direction, repeatedly stating that his actions were only out of selfishness and protection of Chu Xunyang.

The emperor's face became silent, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger. Looking at the young man kneeling in front of him, the expression in his eyes changed several times in an instant. Finally, he sighed slowly and said, "Qi Feng, the one who has achieved great things, You shouldn't stick to such small personal matters. Although your love for Xunyang girl is precious, but at the same time, you should also know that with your father's current status and your current status, you can say such things ——It’s really disappointing the emperor’s grandfather!”

Meeting his gaze, Chu Qifeng said with an open expression as before: "Grandfather is very aware of the details, Qifeng—just discuss the facts!"

The emperor's eyes moved, his lips were soft for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand lightly and said, "Stand back, think about it!"

There is no clear punishment, which means that this matter will not be settled.

"Yes! Qifeng resigns!" Chu Qifeng kowtowed to him again, then got up and walked out.

The emperor leaned on the back of the chair, staring at his back for a long time without moving, and finally he smiled wryly and said: "This boy, do you think I should praise him for his scheming, or reward him for his innocence?" ?”

At that time, there was no one else in the hall, only Li Ruixiang stood behind him.

Li Ruixiang smiled slightly, but did not make a sound——

The emperor's words were addressed to him, but he didn't need his answer.

His eyes extended to the outside of the hall, looking at the smaller and smaller figure.

After a while, he silently looked away again.

The King of Kangjun is indeed worthy of His Majesty's love for him, and he is very sure of His Majesty's mind, and he can't make a mistake.

In fact, he could have claimed credit for the emperor's righteousness by encouraging Su Lin. At that time, the emperor would not only not blame him, but also reward him generously. Even if he can't find out his fault, there will inevitably be a gap in his heart.

But now, he blamed everything on his own selfishness, saying that it was to protect Chu Xunyang's deeds. You can feel at ease, and in addition——

His confession is more in line with the emperor's wishes.

It has to be said that the emperor's mood at this time is quite contradictory. On the one hand, he needs to cultivate an heir to the empire who is invincible and has no weaknesses, but at the same time——

His own current position does not allow anyone to covet him, so Chu Qifeng's confession will actually make him feel good.

It's just because of his habit over the years, but he still doubts whether Chu Qifeng's words are from the bottom of his heart or intentional.

After the imperial decree of the marriage was issued, the matter came to an end for the time being.

That afternoon when Su Wan woke up from a drowsy sleep, it was inevitable that he would make a big fuss.
