Chapter 340 (1/2)
”What?” Xue ronghua stared in surprise. ”Xue Longhu has passed away?”
”This was last night. Premier Xue stopped breathing somehow. The imperial doctor from the Palace said he was terminally ill and had no way to recover. That's why he left like this,” Chu Zongge sighed slightly. ”You didn't see him for the last time.”
”Chuaier told me the day before yesterday. But I really didn't care. I didn't expect him to leave last night.” Xue ronghua couldn't bear it. ”Although he doesn't look like a father to me at all, after all, he has raised me in Harajuku for so many years. After my rebirth, I also rely on him to support me. Can't it be so?”
Chu Zongge patted her on the shoulder. ”It's unpredictable. No one knows that Xue Longhu left so soon. It's really because he's old. No one knows when he left quietly. It was discovered by the housekeeper of the prime minister's house.”
Xue ronghua pursed his lips. ”I still have to go back to the prime minister's house. It's also right to give him some incense.”
”Your body is not ready yet. Can you go over like this?”
”I'll let the pendant go with me. It's good to have a care,” Xue ronghua looked out of the window. ”It's hard for zhui'er. She grew up in the mansion. Now that the master has passed away, her heart is very sad.”
”Chui'er was crying in the room. I didn't let her come because she was in a bad mood.” Chu Zongge smiled softly, ”I'm just afraid you're uncomfortable, so I came to you.”
”There's nothing wrong with me. Xue Longhu doesn't have a good relationship with me, not to mention that he connives Ye's three mothers and daughters to harm Yuansu and her mother,” Xue ronghua's eyes darkened. ”He is the root of all intrigues in the prime minister's house. Without him, Yuansu and I don't have to suffer so many crimes.”
”Yes, if you're not so sad, it's just a sigh,” Chu Zongge said with a faint smile. ”Polygamy and concubines are the root of right and wrong. I'll never let you fall into such disputes in the future.”
”You know,” Xue ronghua said with a smile. ”If you dare to look for flowers and willows behind my back, don't blame me for ignoring your life and death in the future. I'll ask you to live alone in the house and ask your yingyanyan to accompany you.”
”Don't say such a thing. My heart is all on you. How can there be so many calculations,” Chu Zongge couldn't cry or laugh. ”Didn't you say you were most relieved of me? Why did you ask this again?”
Xue ronghua curled his lips and felt that this nonsense was boring. ”I just said a few words in my illness. Don't think too much. I just think you always go out and don't have much time to accompany me.”
Chu Zongge looked at her in silence. ”You're right. It's my fault. You shouldn't always be busy in the palace. You can't even care about the princess.”
”You are at a critical time now. I can't see what I say at this time,” Xue ronghua touched the back of his hand. ”You're busy with your business. Just give me some time.”
Chu Zongge took her hand and kissed a few times, ”when the things in my palace are handled, I'll come to accompany you right away.”
Thin incense bit her pale lips and carefully looked at her face. ”I don't know what's going on, but I just asked a few tough questions. I didn't expect Prime Minister Xue to leave like this. How could he be so fragile? I thought he could last a long time.”
Li chuse's teacup hit the table heavily, and she was so frightened that she flopped and knelt on the ground, ”you are really crazy. You dare to interrogate the former Prime Minister and kill people directly. This palace is not half as good as you. You are really better than blue.”
”Empress, I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect the prime minister to be terminally ill, so I asked him a few words. He suddenly fainted. When I reached out to explore my nose, I was already a dead man,” thin Xiang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. ”I really didn't mean it. Empress, you must believe I am.”
”It's no use for the palace to believe you. It's most important for the emperor to believe you. Killing an imperial court official is a great crime. Don't pull you to behead and kill it directly,” Li xuse glared at her. ”The palace could have asked Xue ronghua about it, but you should have wiped out all the most important witnesses.”
Thin incense's body was stiff, and even his voice was crying, ”madam, you have to save the slave and maid. The slave and maid must not die. The slave and maid are still very young. He just let him faint. He is useless and can't blame the slave and maid on his head.”
”Keep your voice down for the palace,” said Li xuser, crushing his silver teeth and trying to keep his voice down. ”You are the people around the palace. Everyone in the Palace should keep you. If you have something wrong, the next person to die is the palace. Do you think the palace will save you?”
Thin incense was half crying and half laughing and knocked her head. ”Thank you, madam. I will be a cow and a horse for her in the future.”
