Chapter 177: The Emperor of Chu hesitated to speak but stopped
Siyan pulled the corner of Yu Chen's clothes and motioned him to leave with her eyes. Yu Chen smiled and said a few random words to the guard, and then followed Siyan away.
"What do you want to do again?" Yu Chen looked at Siyan in confusion, wondering what other evil idea she had in mind.
Siyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Go to the imperial study room and ask him face to face and you will know."
The "he" in Siyan's mouth, of course, refers to Emperor Chu. I am afraid that only Siyan dares to call him that. Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, then thought about it in his heart. What she said was not unreasonable, and agreed: "
Okay, let’s go to the Imperial Study Room”
On the way to the royal study, the eunuchs, maids, guards, and even the girls who usually never left their boudoir were all wearing masks, as if they were afraid of contracting the plague, and they looked at Yu with strange eyes.
Chen and Siyan, I'm afraid they are the only two people in this palace who don't wear masks as if nothing is wrong.
Siyan walked in without being summoned by the eunuch. She saw Emperor Chu and several ministers seeming to be discussing something. When Siyan came in, several people looked at each other and no one spoke anymore.
The little eunuch panicked and knelt on the ground, kowtowed at a loss and said: "This slave deserves to die..."
Emperor Chu stared at the little eunuch. After a few seconds, Emperor Chu waved lightly, "Go to the execution room to receive the twenty sticks yourself..."
Several ministers lowered their heads and looked at each other. The young eunuch was the most favored eunuch of Emperor Chu. They didn't expect that Emperor Chu would even punish him, which scared them all.
"Chu..." Yu Chen watched the little eunuch being punished and was about to go up and say something. Unexpectedly, he was secretly stopped by Si Yan. He looked at Si Yan and shook her head lightly, so he had to give up.
Siyan knew very well that when Emperor Chu punished the young eunuch, he just wanted to find a way down the stairs. Siyan broke into the imperial study room like that, which embarrassed Emperor Chu. However, the young eunuch was very good at guessing Emperor Chu's thoughts and was willing to accept the blame.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Chu glanced at Yu Chen and Si Yan and asked lightly.
Siyan touched Yu Chen secretly again. Yu Chen glanced at Siyan, then said something and smiled at Emperor Chu: "Today we wanted to go to the palace for a walk, but we heard that the sky was full of plague, so we wanted to come over.
Let’s find out the situation from His Majesty.”
Emperor Chu glanced at several ministers, and then at Si Yan. His face was suddenly stained with frost, and he seemed to hesitate to speak.
