The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 325 The Sword Goes Slant (5)
And Su Yi was the one she had identified!

Once this idea took root in her heart, it began to grow and spread endlessly. She has been restless for the past two days. Holding the two masks he gave her, she seemed to be able to see his handsome smiling eyes. There will be a feeling of thumping.

Because she had something on her mind, Chu Yuexin's steps were a little messy, and she hurried into the front yard, almost colliding with the lady who was coming towards her.

"Second princess?" The eldest lady was also very surprised by her appearance, "Why are you here? It's a mess here, you'd better go back to the backyard, don't get bumped."

The eldest lady gave a few casual instructions and was about to go to the kitchen.

"Ma'am!" Chu Yuexin hurriedly called her to stop, she smiled and said with a shy and timid look, "I heard that you are busy here, so come here to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Something strange flashed in the lady's heart, her gaze swept across her face, but she didn't show it, and she really didn't have time to entangle with her, so she hurriedly said: "Go and see, there is a newcomer in the front yard." Let the guests say hello, and I will go to the kitchen!"

"Okay!" Chu Yuexin nodded, holding Chen Xiang's hand and went to the front yard openly.

Rumo walked to the side of the eldest lady, and said cautiously: "Madam, there is something wrong with the expression of the second princess, do you want to—"

"Don't worry about her for now." The lady said, she really didn't care about it right now, so she turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Royal study.

Chu Qiyan went back and forth to Yongzhou Mansion overnight, and only hurried back to the mansion to change clothes before rushing into the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor was angry the night before because of Chu Lingyun's matter, and now his anger should have subsided a little. At this time, he must strike while the iron is hot and plead guilty for entering the palace on his behalf, so as to completely calm the knot in the emperor's heart.

He thought he had come early enough, and he didn't want to be led into the imperial study by Le Shui, only to find that someone was one step earlier than him——

Chu Qifeng was sitting upright, drinking tea on a chair.

Chu Qiyan's heart beat suddenly stagnated, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, but walked straight over and knelt down to the emperor: "Qiyan greets the emperor's grandfather!"

At that time, the emperor was sitting behind the desk reading a booklet, and when he heard the words, he looked up and said with a blank expression, "You came here——is it because of your elder sister's business?"

"Yes!" The emperor's style of dealing with affairs has always been straightforward, never procrastinating, Chu Qiyan held his breath, and said solemnly: "It is my elder sister who is confused and did something that harmed the royal family's face, and offended the emperor's grandfather and grandmother. Father Feeling ashamed of the two elders and deeply regretting, Qi Yan is also very ashamed for this, so I paid a special visit to apologize to the emperor's grandfather face to face. The eldest sister is at fault, and the grandfather can scold her and punish her, but please take care, don't be angry with her If your body is broken, otherwise—Eldest Sister, she will die and she will have to bear the blame."

These remarks are actually very formulaic, but his expression and tone are extremely sincere, and there is no flattering emotion in the sincerity, which makes people listen to it very well.

The emperor had a good impression of him, and seeing his frightened expression at this moment, he did not vent his anger after all, hesitated for a moment, then swept over the folder at hand, and said, "Look at this first! "

Li Ruixiang took the folder and handed it over.

"Yes!" Chu Qiyan accepted it anxiously, and after opening it, he recognized that it was Chu Qifeng's handwriting, with thousands of characters scattered on it. He sneered with mixed feelings.

After the case, the emperor finished reviewing the paperwork at hand, and now he looked up at him and said, "This is the paperwork for Qifeng's overnight investigation into the case of embezzlement of money and silver in the Dingbei Houfu. You have also seen it. Is there anything in it?" If there is any unreasonable point, point it out to me, and if there is no objection, I will send this paper directly to the Ministry of Punishment."

The clauses in Chu Qifeng's booklet are detailed and clear. From the beginning and end of Zhang Ding's embezzlement and construction of the canal, he listed his criminal evidence one by one. One charge—

It is said that the Zhang family designed to frame Chu Lingyun, intending to use the reputation of the royal family as a threat to force the emperor to give him a lighter sentence, which in turn angered the emperor and brought the Zhang family to justice.

Zhang Ding's mistakes in repairing the canal are not small, but after being a hero, the emperor still has to bear a little pressure to deal with him. Now if you add this one, it will be more than enough, not to mention the embarrassing thing Chu Lingyun did. The matter can also be prevaricated with another reason, so that it kills two birds with one stone——

Obviously it was to save their Nanhe Palace.

Under such circumstances, there is no room for Chu Qiyan to say "no".

"Qifeng is really as careful as dust." Concentrated, Chu Qiyan returned the folder to Li Ruixiang, and bowed respectfully to the emperor, "In this way, Qiyan will also take care of my elder sister and my father, mother and concubine together." Thank him, thank him for finding out the truth and returning our Nanhe Palace to a clean slate!"

This favor is really——

Call him like a stick in his throat!
After the whole day of exaggeration yesterday, even if it is said that Chu Lingyun was framed now, it is only a good face, how many people will believe it behind the scenes?

Chu Qifeng's favor was not so much given to him at the Nanhe Palace as it was given to the emperor.

The emperor had been waiting for an opportunity to take back the Zhang family's title. This time the opportunity was just right. Chu Qifeng's statement was half true and half false, but it happened to achieve the result the emperor wanted.

The Zhang family knew that a catastrophe was coming because of Zhang Ding's pocketing, so they jumped over the wall to preemptively attack, slandered the royal daughter-in-law Chu Lingyun for murdering his son, and wanted to use this scandal to force the emperor to compromise, and not to pursue the crimes of his Zhang family .

In this way, not only did Chu Lingyun rectify his name, but also added a death penalty to the Zhang family. In contrast, the emperor's practice of only taking his Zhang family's title was not ungrateful, but extrajudicial.

The emperor himself has gained both fame and fortune, so why would he care what people think about their Nanhe Palace?
Chu Qiyan felt bitter in her heart, but she still thanked Chu Qifeng in front of the emperor with a grateful expression.

"I'm just discussing the matter as it stands, and I can't afford my cousin to thank you so much." Chu Qifeng smiled with a calm expression.

The emperor was in a happy mood, so he just waved his hands and said, "If there's nothing wrong, you two should step back first!"

"Yes!" The two got up to leave and walked out one after another.

After going down the steps at the door, the little smile on Chu Qiyan's face had disappeared without knowing it.

He didn't turn his head to look at Chu Qifeng, but said coldly: "You really have a lot of concentration, and you still have the time to take care of other people's affairs at such an opportunity!"
