Chu You's eyes narrowed into a line, revealing a bit of gloom, feeling that Yuan Zhe admitted his mistake too quickly.

In the final analysis, today's incident was "just" an accident. Even if the trouble came to the previous court and the three divisions came to interrogate, there was still room for change. After all, this was an unintentional mistake. That's it for those who paint boats.

Why did Yuan Zhe have to be wronged? He confessed his mistake in public and knelt down.

But just as Chu You opened his lips, Yuan Zhe looked at him calmly, signaling him not to talk too much.

Chu You pursed her thin lips tightly, trying to suppress the anger that was about to explode, and met Chu Yi's deep eyes.

The two looked at each other.

Chu Yi immediately looked away, and showed a gentle smile to Yuan Zhe, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes, and said lightly: "Whether it is careless or not, your words don't matter."

These words were not only addressed to Yuan Zhe, but also to the Empress Dowager Yuan, King Kang and other descendants of the family, full of provocation.

Is the eldest prince officially declaring war on the family? !

The children of the aristocratic family were astonished like mountains and seas, and their hearts sank like cotton wool soaked in water.

Chu Yi smiled lightly and raised his hand to make a gesture.

He Lie understood immediately, and ordered: "Take it down."

When this person was in Jin Yiwei's hands, he was naturally not going to the sky prison, but to the edict prison of Beizhen Fusi. Once he entered the edict prison, he would almost die, and the Ministry of Punishment and other three divisions had nothing to do.

The two Jinyi guards approached Yuan Zhe from left to right, condescendingly looked down at Yuan Zhe who was kneeling on the ground, and raised their hands and feet, releasing an invisible sense of oppression.

Yuan Zhe didn't cry or beg for mercy, he stood up directly from the deck and said coldly, "I will go by myself."

With a flick of his sleeves, Yuan Zhe walked off the boat with his head held high, leaving behind a resolute back, his waist always straight in the cold wind.

Seeing this scene, those young children of the aristocratic family all calmed down and returned to their positions.

At the same time, Li Han, the eunuch in charge of the internal official supervisor, was also detained by Jin Yiwei.

Li Han's gray hair was a little messy, and he looked anxious.

Although he is a member of the queen mother, even Yuan Zhe has been taken away now, Li Han also knew that no one would take care of him anymore, so he glanced at Qin He nervously.

When he met those cold eyes, his hands trembled and the whisk fell to the ground.

For Qin He's vicious methods, Li Han used to admire Qin He very much, thinking that this is a useful vicious dog, but now, when he thinks that the methods of this mad dog will be used on himself, he can't help shaking like a sieve .

The other brocade guards on the painting boat withdrew like a tide, and the originally heavy and oppressive air also relaxed. The sun in the sky poked its head out from behind the clouds again, and golden sunlight jumped between the lake surface and the treetops.

Gu Yunmai stood quietly by the guardrail, quietly watching Yuan Zhe's back on the bank as he drifted away.

The Yuan family is the head of the current family.

All the aristocratic families in the Dajing Dynasty respected him, and she never expected that in less than two sticks of incense, the heir of the Yuan family would be taken down.

The situation changed suddenly.

Gu Yunxie's eyes suddenly darkened.

This is also the first time she encountered such a thrilling event, which made her deeply aware of——

This is imperial power!

It can make people live, die, bend their knees... This is a taste that can control everything.

Gu Yunxie's fingers began to roll up the veil subconsciously again, again and again...

In the past, she felt that a hero did not ask where he came from, and she thought that the important thing was not her background, but herself.

But it wasn't until Gu Yanfei appeared that she realized that she was wrong.

Even if she did nothing, her life experience has become an unspeakable secret about her.

However, there is an old saying: princes and generals are more likely to have kindness!

If she could reach the pinnacle of imperial power, then her background would be just an insignificant embellishment, and Gu Yanfei would no longer be able to criticize herself from above, and she would kneel down in front of herself humbly.

In the same way, if Gu Yanfei really becomes the eldest concubine and goes up to a higher level, then he will always beg her for mercy...

Gu Yunxie's eyes became darker and darker, staring unblinkingly at Gu Yanfei who was joking with An Le, completely immersed in his own thoughts.

Yu Chaoyun next to her bit her lower lip slightly, and was also looking at Gu Yanfei, with a hint of ruthlessness that would be used to achieve the goal by any means at the corners of her lips.

"Please return the queen mother to the palace." Chu Yi's calm voice sounded again, as if gossiping, and as if the tense scene just now had never happened at all.

Empress Dowager Yuan stared at him coldly, looking at Chu Yi's gentle yet somewhat familiar face at this moment, she felt as if she had never known him before.

Chu Yi left the country for eight years. Before he returned to the country, he could hardly remember his appearance. He only remembered that Chu Yi was a good-natured boy before the age of ten, similar to the soft-tempered emperor.

However, the past eight years as a hostage in South Vietnam may be enough to make a young man's temperament change drastically, become deep and sinister...

A tall and mighty figure suddenly stood between Queen Mother Yuan and Chu Yi, it was He Lie.

He Lie extended his hand to Queen Mother Yuan again.

Empress Dowager Yuan shook her sleeves heavily, and left without looking back, she just said: "Show me back to Shou'an Palace."

She barely maintained her dignity as the queen mother with this sentence.

All the maids of Shou'an Palace hurriedly followed, and left the boat nervously under the "escort" of Jin Yiwei.

The sound of noisy footsteps went away.

After a while, everything on and off the boat returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Father, you fell into the lake today, and you were frightened. You have to ask the imperial physician to take a look." Chu Yi walked slowly to the emperor's side, and his voice became obviously gentler.

"Okay." The emperor seldom said no to his son, and responded with a smile on his face.

It was as if the farce just now left no trace in the emperor's heart.

The emperor brushed off his sleeves and was about to get up when he thought of something, and asked Gu Yanfei kindly, "Girl, do you want to go together?"

He gently brushed his beard, smiled kindly, with a kind of affection from an elder to a junior.

Gu Yanfei shook his head, smiled solemnly and said, "I don't like drinking medicine the most."

She knew well that the emperor slipped and fell off the boat just now, but he didn't even get a drop of water on his body, and he didn't need any imperial doctor at all.

The emperor was a little disappointed, his eyes rolled around, and he squinted at Chu Yi's direction, and lowered his voice by three minutes: "Girl, what do you think of my son?"

His voice was so low that only he and Gu Yanfei could hear it.

An Le blinked her eyes, and leaned over curiously, staring at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, as if to say, what are you talking about.

Gu Yanfei: "..."

Gu Yanfei tasted silence for the first time, and couldn't help but think of the scene on the bow deck just now.

Another gust of cold wind blew over a few scattered plum petals, and one of the pink petals happened to land on Gu Yanfei's eyelashes.

Gu Yanfei's long curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and that small petal floated down...

When she asked him if he had a sweetheart, she just blurted it out on a whim.

And he smiled and said to her: "Yes, I have a sweetheart."

When he said this, the person with those eyes was looking at her.

The person reflected in those dark pupils is also her.
