Prince Rui looked at Chu Ci's worried eyes and smiled faintly, "Then you guys stay here first, I still have things to do."

Prince Rui stood up and left.

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Chu Ci knew that Duke Rong must have gone to the emperor to complain. This time, Prince Rui would be in trouble if he didn't die. He had helped her so much, and she didn't want to harm him.

Besides, he is a prince. The impression he has in the emperor's heart, the officials' heart and the people's heart cannot be bought with any amount of money. If they have a bad impression of him, it will have a very bad impact on him.

While everyone was still lost in thought, Chu Ci secretly followed King Rui out.

After leaving the imperial garden, Chu Ci called out to Prince Rui who was about to get on the carriage.

"Wait a moment."

Prince Rui, who was about to get on the carriage, heard Chu Ci's voice and smiled faintly, like a spring breeze, which made Chu Ci's dry heart seem to have vitality again.

"Anything else?"

Chu Ci slowly walked to his side, thought for a while, and then dared to ask, "You beat Prince Rong like that, he shouldn't be able to do it." Having said that, Chu Ci coughed.

"He will definitely report you to the Emperor. What will you do?"

Prince Rui leaned back on the carriage, put the Buddhist beads in his hand directly on his hand, and gently stroked Chu Ci's hair on his forehead. "I'm fine, you are still injured. I will ask Lin Feng to take you back first."

Chu Ci shook her head. "No need. I just saw Qiao Yu. I took her car."

Chu Ci stood there and watched Prince Rui leave. She didn't know what would happen when he left.

Behind the rockery in the distance, a pair of eyes stared at Chu Ci until King Rui left, and then the eyes disappeared.

Chu Ci was uneasy and stood there. The main reason was that this was not an ordinary family that needed to spend money, not to mention that the Duke's Mansion only had this one son.

In fact, it would be easier to deal with if it was just broken arms or legs, but in this situation, Chu Ci didn’t know how the emperor would deal with it.

"Sister Chu, what are you thinking about? I called you, but you ignored me." Qiao Yu ran to Chu Ci, put her arm around Chu Ci and acted coquettishly.

Chu Ci finally woke up when he saw Qiao Yu. "It's okay, I was just thinking about something. Why did you come here? Is there something wrong?"

Qiao Yu pulled Chu Ci and turned around slightly, "Of course there is something, but if there is nothing, can't I go find Sister Chu?"

Chu Ci smiled dotingly and pinched Qiao Yu's rosy cheeks. "Okay, tell me what happened."

Qiao Yu pulled the man standing beside her over and said, "I want to introduce someone to Sister Chu. This is my brother, Qiao Sheng."

Chu Ci glanced at the man standing in front of him. He was definitely a handsome scholar. He looked gentle and a very clean young man from an aristocratic family.

But he really does look a lot like the Minister of Personnel.

One is an old fox who wants to get involved in official circles and try cases all day long; the other is a pale-faced scholar who looks like a clean piece of white paper, allowing people to write different lives on it.

"Mr. Qiao." Chu Ci saluted Qiao Sheng formally.

Qiao Sheng stood there in a daze. Chu Ci saluted him but did not respond for a long time.

Seeing her brother was stunned, Qiao Yu covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly. She secretly tugged at the corner of Qiao Sheng's clothes and whispered to wake him up, "Brother, brother, what are you doing? Hurry up and let Sister Chu get up!"

Qiao Sheng finally came back to his senses and quickly helped Chu Ci up with both hands. "Miss Chu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Chu Ci smiled faintly, "It's okay." He took a small step back.

Qiao Sheng looked at his empty hands, feeling a little dazed.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu no longer cared about her nerdy brother and asked Chu Ci, "Sister Chu, what are you doing here? Let's go play over there!"

Chu Ci nodded, "Okay, let's go play over there."

Chu Ci strolled around with Qiao Yu and the others for a while, and couldn't help but think of Prince Rui.

The three of them strolled around for a while and returned to the garden. They saw a eunuch standing next to Princess Zhan, who seemed to be talking about something.

Chu Ci was curious and pointed at the eunuch and asked quietly, "Qiao Yu, who is the eunuch beside the princess?"

Qiao Yu raised her feet, stretched her neck, and looked towards the eldest princess.

Before Qiao Yu could speak, Qiao Sheng spoke first, "Miss Chu, that is Eunuch Zhao who serves the Emperor."

Chu Ci looked at the eunuch, thinking that he must have come to understand the process of the matter. She looked at Qiao Sheng, "Mr. Qiao, do you know this Eunuch Zhao?"

Qiao Sheng looked at Chu Ci curiously. Most young ladies from aristocratic families would not inquire about the people around the emperor. How could she dare to inquire about the people around the emperor?

Qiao Sheng shook his head. "I don't know him. No one around the emperor dares to get to know him, let alone curry favor with him."

Chu Ci nodded, "Forget it, let's-"

Before Chu Ci finished speaking, he saw Lin Feng sitting in the carriage.

Chu Ci held Qiao Yu's hands with both hands and said, "I have something else to do. You better stay with your brother."

After Chu Ci finished speaking, he turned around and left.

He found a less crowded road, walked around to the side of Lin Feng's carriage, and walked to Lin Feng's side casually, "Where is your master? How did you deal with the matter?"

Lin Feng was worried about his master. Seeing Chu Ci suddenly appear, he looked very confused, "Miss Chu? Why haven't you returned home yet?"

Chu Ci didn't want to talk about this. "The banquet hasn't ended yet, where is your master?"

Seeing Chu Ci so nervous, Lin Feng remembered his master's instructions and didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Where is Prince Rui? How did the Emperor handle this matter?"

Lin Feng saw that Eunuch Zhao had finished his questions and started walking over here. He began to excuse Chu Ci, "The Emperor is investigating the truth of the matter, but the Duke's son is truly ruined. By the way, the master has not exposed your identity, so you should be careful."

Chu Ci wanted to ask more questions when Eunuch Zhao came over. He walked to the side of the carriage and looked at Chu Ci with some confusion, but soon remembered Chu Ci's identity.

"Your servant pays respects to Miss Chu." Eunuch Zhao said, and just as he was about to bow, Chu Ci slightly turned aside and quickly helped Eunuch Zhao to his feet. "Eunuch, please stand up quickly."

Chu Ci helped Eunuch Zhao up, and then bowed to him in a very formal manner.

Eunuch Zhao only took half of the beating and then helped Chu Ci up.

Lin Feng looked at Eunuch Zhao from the side and sighed in his heart. It was Eunuch Zhao. If he hadn't been around the emperor, he wouldn't have dared to let Miss Chu salute him. You know, even those ministers had to be polite when they saw him.

Lin Feng was afraid that Eunuch Zhao would talk too much, so he quickly said, "Your servant and Eunuch Zhao are leaving. Miss Chu, please go back."
