C303 (2/2)
After leaving, he walked out of the Town Hall and arrived at the northwest corner of the palace. When he was about to leave, the Minister of Revenue had already prepared a carriage and was waiting outside.
Seeing his lowered head, Mo Wuji used his sleeve to cover his nose and mouth as he walked out. He knew that the situation was bad, so he immediately got off the car and ran towards Mo Wuji.
”Extraordinary, what's going on with you?” Walking in and taking a look, the Minister of Imperial Household had already seen the extraordinarily bloated face, which was as big as a pig's head. Where was his usual delicate and pretty face?
”I …” He lowered his head, trying his best to cover his wounded face with his sleeve, not wanting to let the Minister see his miserable appearance.
”Speak!” What's wrong with you? How did your face get slapped like this? Who hit you? ” The Minister's usually amiable face turned angry, and he began to speak in a flustered and agitated manner.
”It's the Emperor.” It was called in with extraordinary honesty.
”You … You really don't let me worry. Didn't we say that once you follow me to the side door, you won't enter again? Why did you have to do it yourself? ” ”I told you a long time ago that woman's identity was not that of an ordinary person. For the Emperor to be able to call her over, that must mean that she is already a princess. Why did you have to run in there and find out about her? The wound on your face, was it because the guards found out about it when you were trying to find out more information that they punished you? ”
The Minister was quite shrewd, he could easily figure out why extraordinary people ran in without permission, and could probably figure out the reason why extraordinary people got beaten up.
Even though his martial arts were not that high, it was unlikely for him to be beaten to such a state for no reason.
The red stripe on his face was clearly the mark of a ruler slapping the face. It was evident that he had done something wrong and was being punished.
”I... I was worried about her safety. ” Without hiding anything, he directly said the words in his heart.
”Extraordinary …” Master Shang was also from the past, he knew what was on his mind when he saw the extraordinary lowered his head. Immediately shaking the moustache on his mouth, he looked at her with some astonishment and asked in a low voice, ”Could it be that you are... Do you have a good impression of that girl? ”
”…” His head was lowered, and he did not answer the question of the Minister.
”You, you …” The President pointed at his swollen and bruised face and asked, ”What do you want me to say to you? That girl is a princess of Great Chu Kingdom, and last year, she was betrothed to the crown prince of Feng Lai Kingdom. Her status is noble and she already has an engagement, don't have such thoughts. In the end, it's still impossible for you and her. ”
This time, he did not utter a single word, only lowering his head even more.
”Listen to me. Do not be tempted by such a noble and unreachable woman.” The President was also unable to beat him up, because he was already severely injured, so he had no choice but to bring him into the carriage.
As he sat in the carriage, the President did not forget to earnestly persuade him, ”You acted rashly without thinking, and even caused such a thing. Now that your face has been beaten so badly, don't go back to your father's place tonight, or else I won't be able to explain myself. Besides, you are still young. As long as you study hard and get a title, do you still have to be afraid of a girl that you don't like in the future? Therefore, you must put your current thoughts into official matters, and temporarily stop thinking about the personal feelings of your children. In addition, I heard that the lady has been detained in the State Supervisor Temple, where the doors are tightly guarded, and that you are not allowed to enter without permission, if not you will definitely lose your head! ”
”Yes.”
Elegant Jiumi replied obediently as he tried to defend himself.
”If you listen to my words, then I am relieved.” When the Minister saw him respond, he was finally relieved. He turned to the driver and shouted, ”When we reach the Apricot Forest Hall, stop for a while. I want to give you some medicine.”
”Yes, milord.” the coachman shouted back.
The horse carriage did not stop at all as it followed the exceptionally wide and clean official road outside the palace towards the south city …
In the evening.
Chu Yunge who had already been escorted into State Supervisor Temple was sitting in her own cell, carefully observing everything.
Perhaps it was due to her identity that the cell she lived in was even wider and brighter than the room specifically granted to her by the Ministry of Justice's Prison. Furthermore, it was elegantly decorated, not like a cell but more like a good wing.
Chu Yunge measured the size of the room with her steps. The entire room was about 30 square metres, and at the south corner of the room, there was a normal yellow and flowery pear wood bed, on it lay a brand-new bedding.
In the center of the room, there was a round table with four porcelain pillars. On the round table, there was an orange tablecloth embroidered with peonies. On the table, there was a tea set and a small plate of pastries.
On the other side of the window was a set of dressing mirrors and a few boxes of rouge powder on the dresser. On the other side of the room, there was a bucket with a screen separating it from the others.
