He gazed at Chu Ci, although it was clear that this time she was speaking to him in such a humble and pleading manner because of the Qingzhou incident, and she probably wanted to personally return to the government office to investigate. However, despite being aware of this, Emperor Yan still wasn't quite used to Chu Ci speaking to him like this...
So, upon hearing Chu Ci's coquettish words, his expression slightly froze.
Chu Ci saw Emperor Yan's expression and didn't speak for a long time, as if he knew what he was worried about. He quickly reassured him: "I swear, this time I will definitely not escape, no, from now on I will never escape again. I really don't like being alone in the East Palace, so let me go to Ming Yanshi."
The Emperor's expression remained unchanged: "How can I be certain you won't escape?"
Chu Ci listened to Emperor Yi's words and immediately understood the subtle implication, so he quickly followed up with: "In that case, I couldn't have escaped even if I wanted to. Even if I did run away, Your Highness would still catch me and bring me back. I'm not going to look for trouble again."
Di Jin's lips curled up slightly as he sneered clearly: "You actually have some self-awareness."
"Did Your Highness promise me?"
Di Jun raised an eyebrow and saw Chu Ci leaning on the table, his small face full of expectation, his eyes wide open, pitifully staring at him.
That appearance...... was truly that of a simple and lovely young girl, as if in an instant the sharpness of her former self had vanished.
Di Jin gazed at her, almost slowly saying: "But you can't cause trouble in the Ministry of Justice."
After all, Chu Ci had been to Ming Yanshi before, but it was with the intention of ruining his reputation. Although, Emperor Yan's reputation outside had already been ruined by her...
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci suddenly understood Emperor Mo's meaning and became excited, nodding his head repeatedly and raising both hands to make a vow: "I will never be reckless again, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Di Jun's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a calm and collected tone: "It's getting late, you should head back."
Chu Ci touched his nose and sat up straight, looking a bit embarrassed as he whispered: "Uh... aren't we sleeping together?"
Emperor Yan lightly raised his eyes, looking at Chu Ci with a gaze that seemed to be sizing up a mental patient. He thought to himself that this guy would stop at nothing to return to the Ming dynasty's imperial court, even daring to bring up things he used to despise. However, Emperor Yan did not want to see her enduring in silence on the bed again, so his tone was cool and gentle: "You're saying... you still want..."
As soon as the words were spoken, Chu Ci reacted to what had happened. She suddenly felt a pain in her lower body and before Emperor Yan could speak again to drive her away, she quickly stood up, clasped her hands together and bowed, "Farewell, farewell, I'll see you tomorrow, Your Highness!"
Having said that, he swiftly escaped from the Crown Prince's palace.
Emperor Di looked at Chu Ci's small figure hastily leaving, and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, with an inexplicable meaning.
……
The next day, Chu Ci originally thought that she could just go to the Ming government office by herself, after all, she was very familiar with it. However, Emperor Xuan Yi said he wanted to take her there after they finished their breakfast together.
Chu Ci didn't dare delay the prince's entry into the palace for his own small matter, so he said to him: "Your Highness, I can go myself."
As a result, this remark unknowingly touched the prince's heart, and his face gradually turned cold. His voice was icy as he said, "Don't be overly sentimental, I have business to attend to at the Ministry of Justice."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci looked embarrassed and didn't dare speak again.
It seems like I'm just being dragged along for the ride...
