Chapter 172 Is this a chance for me to stay by his side?
Chu Qianli didn't want to talk to the Queen Mother.
However, she still asked the Queen Mother to give herself three days.
So in the next two days, Chu Qianli did have two quiet days.
The Queen of Heaven issued an edict that no one should be disturbed.
Therefore, the people in the Duke's Mansion had to keep quiet for the past two days.
But on the third day, a big shot came to the Duke's Mansion.
The Liyuan where Chu Qianli lives is heavily guarded tonight.
But there were only two people in the side hall.
One is Chu Qianli who was "invited", and the other is the emperor sitting on the jade chair.
"I heard that the Duke is seriously ill and has not recovered yet?" The emperor stared at Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli was always neither humble nor humble: "If the emperor has anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
The emperor frowned, showing a trace of displeasure.
So far, there was only one person who dared to be so disrespectful in front of him.
That is Prince Xuan Feng Yexuan.
And this little girl, with no power and no power, actually dares!
"I have to admit that your courage and insight are indeed beyond my expectations."
His face suddenly darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "The person who led the Xuanwu Army and destroyed most of the Black Tiger Village in one night was not Leng Ji, but you, right?"
Chu Qianli was not surprised that he knew.
If the emperor didn't have that much ability, how could he be able to secure this position?
"Then why does your Majesty want to see me?" Since he is here, there must be a purpose.
The emperor looked at her sideways and said, "Xuan'er is my favorite son. It is very likely that Xuan'er will inherit my throne in the future."
He actually told her such important information directly.
Chu Qianli was not excited at all, but instead felt a little defensive in her heart.
"You are indeed very smart." The emperor laughed.
I really admire her a bit.
After all, there are really not many women in the world who can have such abilities.
"Your mother, Qin Liuyan, is a singer. The daughter of a singer can never become the queen of our Beiming Kingdom."
"So, it's impossible for me to let you become Xuan'er's princess, but if you still want to be with Xuan'er, it's not impossible."
Chu Qianli smiled: "So the emperor wants to give me a chance to stay with Prince Xuan?"
She understood now and looked at him lightly, smiling with a bit of contempt:
"The emperor is interested in my fighting ability and hopes that I will assist Prince Xuan and help him conquer the world?"
The emperor was a little unhappy.
He was really surprised after learning about her incredible deeds when leading the troops.
Today's Sky Continent is in turmoil, and it is a good time to take over the world on a large scale.
He favors Feng Yexuan the most because Feng Yexuan's combat ability is the most powerful among all his sons.
But now he discovered that this little-known girl in front of him had such a powerful leadership ability!
How could he let go of any talent?
"I can promise you to become King Xuan's concubine in the future..."
"Ha!" Chu Qianli smiled dismissively: "What a pity, I'm not interested."
"You!" The emperor's face darkened, and he was so angry that he almost ordered her to be executed!
This damn girl is so arrogant!
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Who is not afraid of death? However, I really look down on these 'rewards' from the emperor!"
Concubine!
She doesn't even want to be King Xuan's main concubine, would she want to be a side concubine?
"Then what do you want?" The emperor's face gradually became ugly.
Chu Qianli stopped being polite to him and said frankly: "I want a strong team."
…
That night was the night of the third day that Chu Qianli mentioned.
Feng Yexuan is not awake yet, but according to Chu Qianli, his condition has stabilized and he will wake up soon.
The emperor ordered someone to send him back to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
At the same time, a secret order was issued that no one was allowed to mention the fact that he was recuperating here for three days.
After all the royal people left, Chu Hongtao and the Duke's wife rushed into the Duke's courtyard together.
Even people from the second uncle's and third uncle's families came.
At this time, Chu Buqu finished drinking the medicine and just fell asleep.
In the past three days, Chu Qianli had been treating Feng Yexuan day and night, so naturally Chu Buqu took less care of him.
Unexpectedly, when she was gone for three days, grandpa's condition became serious again.
"Chu Qianli, come out!"
"You unfilial daughter, come out quickly!"
Butler Han prevented anyone from entering, so Chu Hongtao and the Duke's wife could only call through the door.
Chu Qianli didn't want them to affect her grandfather's rest, so she straightened her clothes, covered her grandfather with a quilt, and went out.
"Chu Qianli, you unfilial daughter, are you finally willing to come out?"
Chu Hongtao was so angry that his face turned green: "You actually took my father's token! How dare you do such a theft! I will beat you to death today, you unfilial daughter!"
Chu Hongtao is about to rush over.
Han Zhan took a step forward and stopped him back: "Master Taifu, I have something to say."
"She stole dad's token and ordered people to lock the warehouse of our Duke's mansion! She was stealing it openly!"
Everyone knows that what is stored in the warehouse is the most valuable thing in the Duke's mansion.
There are also many real estate certificates and deeds for shops outside!
They worked hard and showed hospitality in front of Chu Buqu, all just hoping that one day in the future, the key to the warehouse would fall into their hands.
But who would have thought that this damn girl would take advantage of Chu Buqu's critical illness to monopolize all of this? How could she have the courage?
"Who are those people outside the warehouse? If you don't let them leave, I will report it to the emperor!"
The Duke's wife also stepped forward and said: "Damn girl, please hand over the key and token quickly!"
"They are the guards I invited back."
Those were the people given to her by the emperor, and they were all masters.
But the emperor said that he could not openly participate in the affairs of the Duke's Mansion.
These guards were given to her by the emperor, but whether she can take charge of everything in the Duke's palace in the future depends on her ability.
Of course, there is no free lunch in the world.
The emperor helped her, so naturally he also asked her to promise him something.
Han Zhan didn't expect that she would be so brave and actually take the token and key.
"In any case, the token and the key must at least wait until the Duke is completely sober before he can decide who to hand them over to."
"You mean, you also want me to hand it over?"
Chu Qianli smiled at him, but this smile was very cold.
Han Zhan was stunned. Under her sarcastic smile, he didn't know what to say.
Chu Huaiyu walked to Han Zhan's side and said softly: "Fifth sister, my grandfather hasn't woken up yet. The keys and tokens should be kept by my grandmother first. If not, my father should take care of them temporarily."
"Why...it's never your turn, Fifth Sister."
"What does this have to do with you, a fake?" Chu Qianli snorted coldly.
Chu Huaiyu was stunned, and his face immediately turned red.
Then, tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
"I just... just don't want to see you conflict with everyone..."
She looked back at Han Zhan, with a hoarse tone in her voice: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made Fifth Sister angry again."
Seeing this, Han Zhan still felt a little reluctant: "Huaiyu, it's not your fault."
Looking at Chu Qianli again, there was no warmth at all on her cold face.
One was delicate and fragile, the other was cold and ruthless, Han Zhan suddenly felt a sense of gap in his heart.
Two days ago, he and everyone else felt that Huaiyu was... a little annoyed because of Chu Qianli.
He was really wrong.
Huaiyu is so good, why do you bully her?
Seeing the tears in the corners of Chu Huaiyu's eyes again, Han Zhan felt uncomfortable for a while, so he glared at Chu Qianli and said:
"Huaiyu is right. The keys and tokens should be given to the Duke's wife. It's not your turn to hold them in your hands."
"Chu Qianli, if you don't hand it over again, don't blame me for being rude!"
