Walking to the front door, Chu Xuanyi explained his intention to Lu Jun: "Please report again, Commander Lu. If the princess still refuses to see me, I will never embarrass you again."

Lu Jun originally wanted to say that the princess had already issued an order. She didn't even see your father and uncles, so how could she see you?

However, Chu Xuanyi was the prince of Rong Wangfu and was in charge of the imperial guards. His attitude was so polite that Lu Jun couldn't even say no.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "Please wait a moment, Prince."

Chu Xuanyi said: "Thank you." Then he stood at the door and waited.

Lu Jun arrived at Dongshang Pavilion and reported again: "Your Highness, the prince of Rong Wangfu wants to see you."

Chu Qinghuang certainly hadn't fallen asleep in such a short time. After Lu Jun reported, there was no movement in the bedroom for a long time. Lu Jun couldn't help but feel numb. He was about to leave silently, but he saw that the lights in the dimly lit hall suddenly lit up.

The door was opened from the inside, and Fu Cang said in a cold voice: "His Highness has ordered that Chu Xuanyi be taken to the study room to wait."

Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and turned away.

Chu Qinghuang stood up, and after Fu Cang passed the order, he immediately returned to the inner hall to help the master dress, with his eyebrows and eyes lowered and no emotional fluctuations could be seen.

"Are you unhappy because your sleep was disturbed?"

Fu Cang was slightly startled, and then pursed his lips: "Chu Xuanyi disturbed the master's sleep, he really deserves to die."

"Isn't this palace still asleep? It's not a disturbance." Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "Besides, Chu Xuanyi is different from others, and it's worth it for this palace to spend a little time on him."

Fu Cang stopped talking.

Chu Qinghuang took care of her clothes and stood in front of the window to watch the night for a while. Two rows of lanterns were hung on the corridor outside the East Upper Pavilion. The night wind blew, and the lights swayed. The guards on duty outside the courtyard patrolled with lights in their hands. The Princess's Mansion was heavily guarded inside and outside at night, and probably not even a fly could fly in.

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "Have you rearranged the defense of this mansion?"

"Yes." Fu Cang replied respectfully, "I transferred several secret masters to the mansion, and the defense is more thorough."

"With you, the top master, by my side, I am still worried about being assassinated?"

Fu Cang whispered: "Just in case."

It is not just to prevent assassinations, but also to prevent all spies from lurking in the mansion.

Chu Qinghuang hummed, and said nothing more. He stood in front of the window for a moment, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

Fu Cang followed behind him silently.

Prince Rong is the cousin of the current emperor, Chu Qinghuang's uncle, and the only remaining prince of the same generation as the emperor in Xiqi.

When His Majesty ascended the throne, he was still young, and the power of the government was in the hands of the regent Lin Ao. During the years when the Lin family was in power, the cousins ​​of the same generation of the royal family were almost killed by Lin Ao, and only Prince Rong survived.

At that time, Prince Rong was still a prince, young, and liked to hang out with the playboys. He was not ambitious, did not fight for fame and fortune, and was not a threat to the Lin family, so he escaped.

In the following years, the emperor, who was good at forbearance, grew older and reached the age of personal rule. Lin Ao was unwilling to return the power of regent. The royalists and the Lin family launched a three-year civil war for power, which ended with the annihilation of the Lin family.

After the emperor successfully seized the power of personal rule, the first thing he rewarded was Concubine Duan and the Ling family, and the second was to confer the title of Prince on Prince Rong - it can be seen that the playboy prince at that time was just a superficial appearance, and Prince Rong also made contributions during the emperor's personal rule.

However, Prince Rong is different from the Ling family. After the emperor took power, everyone knew that Concubine Duan was favored and the Ling family was prominent. As the cousin of the emperor, Prince Rong was not as prominent as his relatives. He was extremely low-key and never regarded himself as a meritorious official in front of others. He even took the initiative to stay away from the goodwill of powerful officials in the court. He never participated in the fights between the princes and always remained loyal to the emperor.

Prince Rong has three sons. Chu Xuanyi is the eldest son of Prince Rong's mansion and the rank of Prince of Heir. He has been enterprising since he was young, and he is both civil and military. He is steady and steady. After the ceremony of coming of age, he took charge of the imperial guards.

The second son, Chu Xuance, is only nineteen years old and has not yet entered the officialdom. He is still studying hard in the mansion and plans to take the imperial examination next year.

The youngest son, Chu Xuanyu, has been neither civil nor military since he was young, but he has been favored by Concubine Rong the most, so he was directly raised to be a dandy young master.

Originally, this dude didn't deserve to die, after all, he had never done anything like stealing or robbing women, but he was stupid because he didn't have enough brains. This time, he was deceived by Chu Yiling and did something he shouldn't have done. Instantly, the low-key and inconspicuous Prince Rong's Mansion was in trouble, and Prince Rong, who had almost never made a mistake in more than 20 years, personally went to the Princess' Mansion to plead guilty, which was a precedent.
