The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 470 Why Her?

At night, Chu He called Mu Qi into his tent.

"Is there anything Deputy Commander Chu needs?" Mu Qi was ordered by his master to cooperate with Chu He in the palace, but Chu He had never summoned him in these days, so he was even a little dazed when he received the message today.

"In the next few days, your team should patrol the area near the imperial study." Chu He said in a deep voice.

Mu Qi thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, you remember it well. We will be the ones to conduct patrols starting the day after tomorrow."

After that, he asked, "Does the deputy commander need me to pay attention to the movements of the imperial study?"

Chu He shook his head. "You just need to pay attention to whether any women from the harem enter the imperial study." Today, he heard unusual movements in the imperial study and discovered the affair between the emperor and Princess Lingxi. However, he did not notice when Princess Lingxi entered or left...

Either she was particularly secretive in entering and exiting, or there was a secret passage in the imperial study.

He would eventually figure it out.

But given his current status, it is impossible for him to stay around the imperial study for too long.

However, Mei Zhou was still young and inexperienced. If he were to gather information in the imperial study, he would be exposed if he was not careful.

After much thought, Mu Qi is the most suitable one.

If he didn't have some abilities, given Mu Rong's cautious nature in his two lives, he would definitely not have buried him in the imperial guards.

So he told them one by one what he had discovered today.

Mu Qi's eyes widened, and it wasn't until a long time after Chu He finished speaking that he reacted. "Your Majesty...are you playing so wildly?"

Chu He frowned upon hearing this: "Now is not the time to tease. The emperor is now cold-hearted. I'm afraid his mask of loving the people like his own children won't last long. We need to reveal his true colors soon, otherwise the things your Lordship has been doing secretly won't be hidden for long."

"Deputy Commander Chu's words are too harsh." Mu Qi snorted, "Our master is really willing to risk his life for the people."

After all, what our lord is planning right now is tantamount to rebellion.

As the emperor's nephew who holds military power, no matter what the emperor wants to do or which of his cousins ​​comes to power, it is not difficult to maintain peace. If it were not for the purpose of letting the people enjoy peace, why would he wade into this muddy water?

But... no one expected that the emperor would be so inhuman.

Thinking of this, Mu Qi asked, "Has our master heard of today's news?" Chu He glanced at him coldly, "Is this how you behave as a subordinate? Do you think Mu Rong isn't busy enough... He's too far away to handle palace affairs. It would be better to find out the reason and then clearly inform him of the emperor's affairs."

"Lord Chu is right." Mu Qi scratched his head.

In the past, he was used to reporting any news to Mu Yi in a timely manner, and Mu Yi would then decide whether to inform the Marquis.

Now, the way I act in the palace is indeed lacking in some rules and regulations.

If Chu He hadn't stopped him, he would have quietly left the palace and headed for the Marquis' Mansion.

"Tomorrow I will arrange for the handover of the guards in the Imperial Study. You go down first to prepare. The Emperor will not invite Princess Lingxi to his palace tomorrow, but we must also observe whether there are other female relatives approaching the Imperial Study."

"Yes! I understand." Mu Qi agreed and retreated.

……

Chu He sat alone in his room. His room was still unusually simple, with a bed, a wooden chair, and a few pieces of clothing hanging in the wardrobe in the corner. The rest of his belongings were packed away.

He sat upright with his eyes closed.

In his previous life, he had never noticed such a decadent side of the emperor.

As Wu Tianqi's vanguard, he clearly remembered the scene of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

He followed Wu Tianqi into the imperial study. The windows on all sides were opened at some point, and the room was filled with the cool night breeze.

The emperor sat behind his desk, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Faced with Wu Tianqi's approaching step by step, he was neither panicked nor surprised.

Instead, he smiled faintly: "It's good that you came by yourself. Handing the world over to you will save me a lot of trouble."

Wu Tianqi was full of pride at the time: "I will follow my father and become an emperor praised by the people." Chu He remembered that the emperor opened his eyes for a moment, and there was a hint of... contempt in his eyes.

But he soon regained his composure and nodded: "I believe you can do it."

After saying this, he threw out a roll of bright yellow silk and said, "This is the abdication edict I drafted. From tomorrow on, I will abdicate and become an idle emperor. The Great Zhou will be handed over to you."

Wu Tianqi was overjoyed.

Chu He himself showed a hint of doubt. He had followed Wu Tianqi for all these years, but he did not feel that the emperor appreciated this son very much. It was just that the crown prince and the second prince died in a fight, and the third prince was executed for treason. The fourth prince Wu Tianqi was just the oldest son at the moment.

With your Majesty's insight, you must know that once the ruthless Wu Tianqi is killed, the people will have a hard time.

He had the power to stop it, but he wrote the abdication edict so easily.

Before he could react from his confusion, he heard Wu Tianqi impatiently ask: "After Father abdicates, will you still live in the palace?"

The emperor's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I plan to live in Ningshou Palace on the right side of the palace. What do you think?"

That is a corner of the imperial palace. If the emperor were moved there, he would probably be criticized by the world.

Wu Tianqi was not stupid. He said hurriedly, "Ningshou Palace is too small. I'm afraid it will be too cramped for your father and the palace ladies to live there. Your father should choose a larger palace."

The emperor smiled and said, "My son, you have a good idea, but I always like quietness. I think Ningshou Palace is very good. When I announce it to the world, I will say that it is a place I wanted to go on my own initiative, and others will not say anything..."

"As for the cramped conditions... I don't plan to bring too many people with me. A few talented singers and dancers will be enough to entertain me. The rest of the palace servants can stay. The emperor's entry into the palace naturally requires the assistance of maids and eunuchs. Once you're familiar with the palace's rules, you can decide whether to keep them or send them out," the emperor said patiently. Wu Tianqi immediately agreed. "In that case, when the Northern Frontier sent their New Year gifts a while ago, they brought some talented singers and dancers. I'll have them serve you, father."

The emperor did not refuse.

The emperor...did not refuse.

Chu He's eyes opened at this moment.

If he remembered correctly, Princess Lingxi entered the palace as a maid in this life.

If her identity had not been revealed at the family dinner on New Year's Eve, I'm afraid... she would still be a maid now!

Could it be that the person the emperor brought into Ningshou Palace in his previous life was Princess Lingxi?

Could it be that the emperor and Princess Lingxi had the same relationship in their previous life?

There are countless women in the harem, and even more who are good at singing and dancing.

Why is it Princess Lingxi? Does she have some special secret?

And does she herself know it?
