The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 589 I've Always Known It! (3)
"It's all a subject's job, and the emperor's grandfather praised it absurdly." Chu Qifeng said modestly.

The emperor laughed, and didn't stop talking about this topic, glanced casually, saw Huo Gang standing beside him, and sighed: "Prince Rui has an accident, there is no one in the Chu state army to take care of it, I originally planned to Tell Huo Aiqing to go again, but in the past two days, he suddenly fell ill, and the attack is fierce, and I'm afraid he won't be able to travel far for a while!"

Both Chu Xunyang and Chu Qifeng listened indifferently, and neither of them turned to look at Huo Gang.

After Huo Gang heard the emperor's words, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I am ashamed of myself. I have lived in the army for a long time before, and it is inevitable that I have some old chronic diseases. In fact, it is not a big problem. The emperor believes in my humble minister, and it is really important to praise me. yes--"

As he spoke, he coughed uncontrollably. He coughed hoarsely for a long time, and finally almost coughed out his lungs.

After finally stopping the coughing, Huo Gang kowtowed to the emperor again, "The humble minister is disrespectful in front of the palace, please forgive me, the emperor!"

"Hey! Huo Qing's family, you are sick, and it is difficult for me to be strong." The emperor raised his hand, looked away, looked at Chu Xunyang again and said: "Xunyang, you and Huo Qing's family retreat first, I I have government affairs to discuss with your father and brother."

"Yes!" Chu Xunyang bowed his knees and gave a blessing.

Huo Gang also hurriedly saluted and got up, and the two walked out one after the other.

Then the emperor continued to ask: "Qifeng, you have been in Chuzhou for a while, and now there is a lack of a commander in the army. Among the generals in the court, who do you think is suitable?"

"Qifeng is still young, with such seniority, how dare to discuss this matter?" Chu Qifeng said, followed by Chu Xunyang and the two of them out of the imperial study room, and never heard anything else.

It was just after noon at that time, and the sun was scorching hot outside, and the sun was very strong.

Huo Gang assumed that he still had something to report to the emperor afterwards, so he stood in the porch for the time being.

Chu Xunyang also stopped in his tracks, and stood in the corridor with him a short distance away.

Then she glanced sideways at him for a while.

Huo Gang's complexion was indeed that of a serious illness. His face was clean, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were not bright. Sometimes he had to cough for a while, and when he coughed, it was very intense. Rising red.

"Is it a coincidence that General Huo is ill?" Chu Xunyang said, the corners of his lips curved in an arc, but he never formed a smiling expression.

"I don't dare to ask the princess personally. When people are old, they will inevitably have some problems of one kind or another." Huo Gang said, his face was as usual, and it was not as good as the kindness on his face when we met occasionally in previous years.

The matter in Chuzhou came to light. Although Chu Yi'an did not show his cards openly, he still had some contacts in the court, and he soon heard about the changes in the army.

In that big battle, almost all the confidantes he brought with him died on the battlefield.

The battle report sent back by Chu Qifeng said that the Nanhua people were desperate and desperate to cause accidental casualties, but he didn't believe it!

He is very clear about the relationship between Chu Xin and the South China Army, saying that Chu Xin was plotted by the South China people?This in itself is a lie that cannot be exposed, and since Chu Xin has been exposed, his affairs——

It is absolutely impossible to hide it!
And it happened at this juncture that all his cronies in the army encountered "accidents"?
At such a moment, if he really returns to the Southern Border Army after accepting the emperor's imperial decree, I'm afraid——

Inevitably, it was also an untimely end.

So he made a decisive decision, and he immediately said he was sick and turned down the errand.

Using serious illness as an excuse, even the emperor couldn't doubt him.

Chu Xunyang looked at the calm expression on his face, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more intense, and said: "Yes, there are some problems that have been hidden on the body for a long time, and it is time to take them out to bask in the sun earlier, otherwise they will become moldy Rot, too, will lead to a terrible end. General Huo, you have been in the army for many years, and you must have more than one disease. You have to be more careful in the future, and don't count the diseases. ——It’s as simple as coughing twice.”

What she said was a gun with a stick, and both of them knew it well.

Huo Gang's face was gloomy.

He can be regarded as a veteran general, when was he sneered at by such a young girl like Chu Xunyang?
Even if he wanted to keep calm, the expression on his face was unavoidably stiff and distorted, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, princess, for your suggestion!"

"Reminder?" Chu Xunyang suddenly shook his head solemnly as if he had heard a joke: "I don't want to talk nonsense to give you some so-called reminders, but I just pointed at General Huo's treatment of me during this trip to southern Xinjiang. Those cares from the palace, you can still ask you to stand here and talk to this palace at this moment, this palace is really too kind."

"What is the princess talking about? I don't understand!" Huo Gang said, his square face was expressionless, with the toughness that belonged to a general in his awe.

It's just that his eyes were too dark this day, which instead made his face look a bit sinister and hostile.

He knew that Chu Xunyang was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that she would have such a blatant showdown with him in the palace.

What does she mean?Is it a warning?Is it a threat?
The corner of Chu Xunyang's lips curled up in a sarcasm, and he didn't care about his sophistry, so he just set his gaze in the distance and said slowly: "I know what your support is, but it's because of the hand of Ben Gong. If you don't have your evidence, it's common sense for you not to admit it. Since you want to carry it, then carry it like this first. You are not the only one who can do such things as scheming behind the scenes and turning your face ruthlessly. This palace may do it more than you Be more handy!"

Huo Gang's gaze moved slightly, and he suddenly looked at her with alert eyes.

Chu Xunyang had already turned around and left in a leisurely manner.

Looking at her bright dress and straight back, Huo Gang suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart.

Chu Xunyang left the palace, and waited for Chu Yi'an and Chu Qifeng to come out beside his own carriage outside the palace gate on the east side.

Knowing that she was back, Qingteng came here on purpose. She was very excited at first, and chattered a lot about what she had seen and heard in the capital during this period. , not even the slightest interest, just sitting on the shaft of the car indifferently and staring at the distant sky in a daze.

"Princess? What's the matter with you?" Her appearance was extremely rare, Qingteng saw it and felt worried.

Chu Xunyang withdrew his gaze from a distance, but he just ordered out of the blue: "I don't see any visitors during this time, and no matter who is posting the post or coming to the door, they will block it directly, and don't need to report it to me."
