Chapter 22

"I am not only conscious, but also very loyal." Cang Ling laughed in Yue's words, half of which mocked her for consciously submitting herself to her, and the second half of which mocked her for flattery.

Fortunately, Chu Ci was thick-skinned and kept blocking the four words: "Your Majesty is too proud."

Cang Ling was a little bored by Chu Ci's soft and relentless reaction, and wanted to hang her and deliberately let her starve, so she began to ask for words: "I'm curious, how did you win the literary exam and become the top scorer?"

He didn't ask whether the martial arts exam was just a literary exam, which was equivalent to admitting half of the confession of Rong Hua's intentional release of water.

Since he didn't ask, Chu Ci didn't ask, and answered whatever he asked: "I am just lucky to be blessed by Your Majesty."

It really takes a certain amount of luck to encounter a strange question and a more bizarre answer.

Cang Lingyue continued to ask: "Since you have passed the martial arts test, then I guess you have a very good martial arts skill?"

"Fortunately, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, Mr. Rong Hua gave in." Chu Ci replied with a smile, and met Cang Lingyue and looked at her gaze.

When this sentence is said, both of them know the implicit meaning.

A trace of interest flashed in Cang Ling's beautiful eyes. Chu Ci could even see his arrangements. He was a wonderful person! Bingran deserves his personal control over this competition. After all, if he could choose a top scorer with some interest and stay in the court, he would usually have some fun.

But there is still a little more.

"I remember, last time you said you were a disciple of Duke Gu?"

"Yes. Since I was young, my mother died. I was not a native of the imperial capital. I just came to the imperial capital for the exam a while ago on this year's big exam. Fortunately, the left prime minister had visited my hometown and had a few words of friendship with me, so I was able to bother me in the Duke's Mansion for a while. Speaking of which, I have never said a few words. Although I rely on his glory, I am most grateful to me. "Chu Ci replied in a proper manner.

This is the background that Gu Shengge has long fabricated for her. Even if Cang Lingyue secretly investigates because she suspects her, she believes that with Gu Shengge's carefulness and caution, she will not reveal any flaws to be caught.

Chu Ci had already thought of a word and tried to put aside his relationship with Gu Liancheng, even if he had to turn to Gu Shengge.

This is all because of Gu Liancheng.

Because Gu Liancheng was a hereditary Duke, although he did not do much, he was honest and upright as an official. He was in power for many years and never used his own power to win over his own power. If a new top scholar Chu Ci who was taken care of by the Duke appeared at this time, it would not only discredit Gu Liancheng, but also make people suspicious of their true relationship for no reason.

But Gu Shengge is different. His position as the left prime minister was obtained by real talent and knowledge. He is usually good at socializing. It is normal for the new top scholar to have some friendship with him.

"..." Cang Lingyue said nothing. He stared at Chu Ci tightly, without hiding his intention of scrutiny. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Since you have a little friendship with the left prime minister, what about the right prime minister?"

Chu Ci didn't say anything, but just knelt down first, without any hesitation, and looked at Cang Lingyue's scrutiny gaze, and said loudly: "The right prime minister is a villain, and I don't want to join him!"

"Oh?" Cang Ling smiled in an uncertain way, with deep eyes, "Chu Aiqing's words are really heavy!"

Chu Ci continued with a serious look on his face: "I love glory, wealth, but a gentleman loves money and gets it well. Since I have entered the court as an official, I naturally have to be loyal to Your Majesty, rather than cling to some villains!"

She was expressing her determination, and when Cang Lingyue tried her.

This move is actually a bit dangerous because it is closely related to Cang Lingyue's subjective emotions.

If he believed her for the time being, she would get more than she should have. But if he didn't believe her at all, he thought she had ulterior motives, and then she would face much more danger than she would have to face.

She is betting.

The more you want to defeat the right prime minister, Ning Shikong.

After a while, Cang Ling spoke slowly, but said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I can't help but lose all your loyalty. I originally planned to send you to be the new commander of the Dragon Soul Guard, but since you are willing to do your best for me, then stay by my side and serve you! Well... Let you be a fourth-grade imperial guard with a knife first, and there is still room for promotion in the future!"

"..." Chu Ci wanted to cry.

What is the concept of Dragon Soul Guard? The Imperial Guard specially set up to protect the emperor and defend the imperial city, with 100,000 elite soldiers.

What is the concept of the commander of the Dragon Soul Guard? A second-rank military officer with the power of 100,000 soldiers is an important figure in the court.

And the fourth-grade imperial guard with swords... Isn't this a senior bodyguard who follows the emperor's butt all day long with a machete and vows to protect him!

This means that the emperor is sitting and standing, the emperor is waiting in the toilet, and the emperor is sleeping and guarding. If the emperor does not allow him to leave the post without authorization, he has to hold his head in his hands to serve!

The military power was gone, and the new mansion, which was originally the top martial arts scholar, was gone, so he changed his machete.

Chu Ci really wanted to pick up the dishes on the big table and put them all on the beauty emperor's face that harmed the country and the people.

He still didn't believe her, but he didn't suspect that she was so sinister - otherwise she wouldn't be allowed to follow her closely. Then [31 Novel Network                                          �

Chu Ci quickly adjusted his mood, tried hard to maintain his signature gentle smile, and replied calmly: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

"Yes." Cang Lingyue nodded very much, and then asked with concern, "I almost forgot that we haven't used dinner yet. Are you hungry?"

"Eating too much at night will cause food to accumulate, not to mention that I don't feel hungry." Chu Ci replied, this implies some resentment - the resentment of a backbone treacherous minister.

Cang Lingyue nodded indifferently, finally got up and got off the soft couch, walked straight to the big round table and sat down, holding the jade chopsticks, "Then I have a meal, you can wait first."

Then he started eating.

Chu Ci was standing by the side with his eyes and nose, but for some reason, when Cang Ling moved the chopsticks gracefully, why did she feel a little hungry...

It happened that Cang Ling looked over at this time, and it seemed that he had some inquiries.

So Chu Ci seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Since Your Majesty wants to have a meal, I am willing to accompany Your Majesty--"

"Forget it." Cang Lingyue suddenly put down her chopsticks and interrupted Chu Ci's words. She calmly picked up the scarf to wipe her mouth and hands, and stood up. "I'm not very hungry. You're right. Eating too much at night will cause food accumulation, so I'll stop eating."

But I'm hungry! Chu Ci was already roaring in his heart. Cang Lingyue, did you do it on purpose?

The more Cang Ling was deliberately Chu Ci didn't know, but she could see that he was in a good mood now. She walked out slowly behind her hands and said to her as she walked: "Since you are already in the palace now and it's too late, then you don't have to go back to the Duke's Mansion to stay. Let's stay in the palace from now on."

"...Where do you live?" Chu Ci was a little stupid. She planned to talk to her father about tonight after she went home and talk about her future plans!

Cang Lingyue looked at Chu Ci with an idiot's eyes and replied, "I have appointed you as the fourth-rank sword guard, and you are a close servant, so you will naturally stay in the outer hall of my bedroom, so that you can ensure my safety after going to bed."

I understand, I just sleep with you, right... Wait, accompany him! Sleep!

Chu Ci immediately wanted to politely refuse: "Your Majesty, this is probably a bit inconvenient...ah?"

"This is the ancestral system, what's inconvenience?" Cang Ling looked at Chu Ci more and more confused, thinking for a while, and added, "There are only a few exceptions. The other guards on duty guards guards outside the hall, while the guards who are not on duty go to their special residences to rest. And you, the servants of the nearest servants, are on duty every day, so naturally they have to guard me every day, so I allow you to rest in the outer hall. Oh, by the way, I can also prepare a soft couch for you."

...Do I still have to thank you! Chu Ci roared in his heart, but said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace. But if Your Majesty wants to summon concubines, then I--"

"I never summon the concubines to my bedroom, but just flipped the sign and went directly to their respective bedrooms. This is OK. You can just stay outside at that time." Cang Ling said indifferently. Seeing that Chu Ci seemed to say something, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, "What are you still dissatisfied?"

Tsk, it’s so fast that Chu Ci can’t say anything he refuses, so he has to say one sentence: “It’s gone, I just want to say that your Majesty is considerate.”

Cang Lingyue stopped frowning, curled her lips and said, "Well, I know. So you can say less if you flatter me."

"...Oh." But you obviously feel comfortable listening!

Cang Lingyue said that if he didn't eat, he wouldn't eat it. He waved his sleeves and left, leaving behind a large table of delicious food that had almost never moved.

The masters were gone, and Chu Ci, who was gloriously becoming a senior bodyguard, had no personal freedom, so he quickly followed.

Cang Lingyue always looks lazy and casual, but walks very quickly. She is only a real martial arts master, the kind of quickness that is as light as a swallow.

Fortunately, Chu Ci's light skills are also excellent. You can easily keep up with it with a little boost of energy.

Cang Lingyue walked through the quiet and remote path with ease, and then walked through the wide and spacious avenue, and went straight to the bedroom, Anyang Palace, located in the middle of the imperial city.

Neither of them spoke on the way, and Cang Ling didn't know what she was thinking, but Chu Ci was taking the opportunity to carefully observe the terrain. She had a good memory, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would probably remember the road she had walked through.

In addition, she also noticed that they had almost never encountered any guards who were vigiling along the way, as if they had been banned in advance and the scene was cleared.

Chu Ci didn't think much about this, because what was more important came, she had to sleep with Cang Lingyue.
