He actually sucked the eldest princess's finger just now. He obviously hates her.
But when he saw her in so much pain, he did it without even thinking about it.
Her fingers were as white as snow, thin and soft, like the tenderest green onions or the whitest tender bamboos, which actually gave him a sense of aftertaste.
He shook his head sadly, what happened to him?
He clearly likes Xiao Yue'er, so why does he have strange feelings for the eldest princess?
.
Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen put on a red Prince Tuanlong suit and entered the palace to take office before the emperor.
He had received a message from Li San last night. Li San had bought food in Xueyue Kingdom and had arrived in Jiangnan to continue disaster relief there.
After receiving this letter, he felt relieved.
In the Jinluan Hall, headed by Chu Xuanchen and Xian Wang, they led four groups of ministers to stand on the hall, waiting for Emperor Hongyuan to come to court.
I don’t know why, but when it was time to go to court, Emperor Hongyuan hadn’t come yet.
When all the ministers were impatient, Emperor Hongyuan arrived late with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
Chu Xuanchen looked up and found that Emperor Hongyuan was much thinner than before.
He had dark circles under his eyes and sunken eye sockets. He was in low spirits and very depressed. He was not at all as powerful, sharp and mighty as before.
In just one month, he seemed to be a completely different person.
Chu Xuanchen knew that he became like this because he had taken too many golden elixirs.
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan walked in, everyone quickly saluted him.
"Everyone is safe."
After Emperor Hongyuan finished speaking, he sat on the dragon chair, suddenly yawned, and then said to everyone: "Now that King Li and King Xian have returned to the court, the flood must have been almost controlled.
I received news a few days ago that King Li and King Xian were in Jiangzhou and Qingzhou this time and made great achievements in controlling the floods. They successfully withstood the floods and rescued the people in the two places, which makes me very happy."
Chu Xuanchen immediately said: "Thanks to the emperor's good leadership and foresight, I and the wise king were able to live up to their orders and lead the people to resist the flood.
This flood control is also the result of the united efforts of the officials and people of Jiangzhou, and the common people and the court to advance and retreat together."
Emperor Hongyuan said: "King Li, Zhang Shifan has written to you repeatedly before, saying that you are digging ponds in Jiangzhou and doing whatever you want to do, which worries me.
Fortunately, Eunuch Xu came to report later and said that the pond you and Princess Li dug had achieved results, so I felt relieved.
I will spread the method of water control throughout the world and extend it to all states in the south of the Yangtze River."
Chu Xuanchen said: "Back to the emperor, Zhang Shifan just made a false accusation. When the minister was making arrangements, he obstructed him in every possible way, trying to sabotage the flood control plan.
Later officials found out dozens of crimes against him for preying on the common people. As a governor, he took bribes, seized farmland, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and even dared to disrespect the Shangfang Sword given by the emperor.
He despised the emperor, was lawless, led the officials to cause chaos, and even wanted to assassinate the minister, but the minister killed him on the spot!"
Emperor Hongyuan had known about this for a long time, and he thought to himself: This Chu Xuanchen is really brave and dares to kill Zhang Shifan.
However, Zhang Shifan belongs to Su Ming. In order to prevent Su Ming from gaining power, such people should be killed.
When Su Ming heard this, his eyes narrowed gloomily.
He glared at Chu Xuanchen coldly, with a trace of anger and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Zhang Shifan was his man, and Chu Xuanchen didn't give him any face. He was clearly cutting off his wings.
Wait, he will definitely not let him go.
Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu Xuanchen and said: "I gave you the Shangfang Sword to deter those who caused trouble. You already have the power of life and death in Jiangzhou. Zhang Shifan despised the imperial power and formed a clique for personal gain. It is not a pity to die for such a rebellious minister and traitor!"
I will send people to investigate other people involved in the case.
As for the prefect Su Cheng, I think that because he repented in time and made a meritorious report, I will spare his life and only remove him from his post and let him retire and return to his hometown."
