Chu Ci thought about it and answered honestly: "I am naturally grateful to Lord Zuo Prime Minister."

"Hmm." Cang Ling snorted lightly, meaningless, "Your relationship is good!"

When Chu Ci heard him repeat this sentence these two days, he was finally annoyed and said without thinking: "I am still sleeping and eating with Your Majesty every day. Isn't this kind of relationship good?"

"..." Cang Ling was more and more stunned.

Chu Ci was also stunned. It seemed a bit strange to say this...

"Forget it." Cang Lingyue suddenly turned her head and coughed in disguise, "Well, I understand."

"..." What do you know? Why do I think you misunderstood? Chu Cilei, at the same time, deeply realized that the beauty emperor, who seemed to have a heavy taste, just liked to hear these strange words.

"Okay, don't talk about these things that are gone." Cang Lingyue suddenly made a serious statement, "Tell me something serious."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Chu Ci lowered his head.

Cang Lingyue said slowly: "Since you have taken over the position of Deputy Commander of the Dragon Soul Guard, you must be careful in your actions in the future. You have a clear idea in your mind."

"Yes." Chu Ci nodded, and then pretended to be modest. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Commander Guo will be able to come back and resume his post within a month. During this period, I will not cause any trouble."

"Re-responsible?" Cang Lingyue sneered, "No, he can't come back."

"Huh?" Chu Ci made a puzzled statement, "Your Majesty, although I seriously injured Commander Guo, he was strong and had internal strength to support him. After resting for about a month, there was probably no problem in recovering."

"I know." Cang Lingyue nodded casually, then stared at Chu Ci's eyes and said meaningfully, "Since that's the case, you can find a way to prevent him from coming back, understand?"

Of course I understand! I waited for you! Chu Ci smiled in his heart, but was frightened on his face and nodded, "I understand, don't worry."

"Why don't you worry? You are so stupid!" Cang Lingyue looked at Chu Ci with disgusting eyes again.

Chu Ci nodded indifferently and agreed with a smile, "Yes, you are smart." How smart you are, you can play tricks, you can play tricks, you can play tricks, you can step on the left minister, and you can also show off your lower limits with thick faces!

"Chu Ci..." Cang Lingyue suddenly spoke quietly.

Chu Ci had not yet come to his senses from his intimacy, "Ah?"

"You dare to continue scolding me in your heart?"

"..." So obvious? Chu Ci looked at Cang Lingyue in surprise.

Cang Lingyue saw that she was confused and gritted her teeth and said, "How pleasant you are in your scolding is written on your face!"

Chu Ci touched his nose and exonerated himself with an innocent look on his face: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I am praising your wise and magical martial arts!"

"Hmm?" Cang Ling hummed more and more, obviously not believing it.

Chu Ci thought about it and said sincerely: "I think some of the systems you have reformed are particularly good. For example, when you go to court for five consecutive days, you can concentrate on handling some major or small things you have accumulated, without having to attend court for two days. This is not only for rest, but also for you to observe the movements of the ministers."

Speaking of this, Cang Lingyue realized that Chu Ci was talking about serious things and asked with interest: "Well, what else?"

"I think you may have arranged a certain amount of people to observe the movements of the ministers during the two days of rest, from socializing to having fun, their behavior can expose the unknown side hidden under the appearance that seems to be diligent in daily life. What I guess is right?"

Chu Ci finished speaking calmly and looked at Cang Lingyue with a smile.

The latter's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded slightly without saying anything, "Then?"

Chu Ci responded loudly: "Then Your Majesty, you are truly gifted and unparalleled in the world. I admire you very much and I wish you could—"

"You are allowed to worship me." Cang Lingyue successfully interrupted Chu Ci's nonsense with one sentence. He paused and smiled again, "However, given that you are not too stupid, I began to consider whether to allow you to leave the palace tonight."

Chu Ci was happy when he heard this, looking at the beauty emperor who had suddenly become more human, and struck while the iron was hot, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will only go out for one night, and I will definitely come back immediately tomorrow morning!"

Unexpectedly, Cang Lingyue's expression changed when she heard this, and she asked in displeasure: "Go out tonight? Do you still have to stay outside?"

What's going on with your tone of a resentful woman who is alone in the empty room? Your Majesty? Chu Ci's mouth twitched slightly, and he had to quickly explain: "I want to go to the Duke's Mansion to clean up some of the rituals left there. It's so eye-catching when I go in in broad daylight. After all, my identity is no longer as good as before, so I naturally have to pay attention to it!"

Cang Lingyue knew all these principles, but she still added unwillingly: "After entering the palace, you need the palace ban at night, and if you don't go to court tomorrow, the palace gate will open late in the morning, so it will be troublesome for you to go out and come back."

Chu Ci took the opportunity to ask: "Then you give me a token that can enter and exit freely!"

"I think beautifully." Cang Lingyue refused without thinking, and then said with some dissatisfaction, "I can't hold you back now. If I really give you a token, I will not be able to find you every day?"

Chu Ci touched his nose and smiled and said nothing, thinking that it would be fine if he didn't give it to him. The more Cang Ling could agree, it was already very surprised to her. But what really surprised her was that after the general came to night, Chu Ci had already walked to the palace gate to get out of the palace, but Liu Fu panted and ran over and called her.

"Eunuch Fu, why are you here?" Chu Ci asked cautiously, afraid that Cang Lingyue, who had always been in a state of uncertainty, changed her mind and refused to let her leave the palace.

Liu Fu did not answer, first wiped the hot sweat he ran out with his sleeve, then while panting, he took out something from the sleeve and handed it to Chu Ci, and said, "This is what Your Majesty asked the servant to send to you."

Chu Ci took it, and her heavy feel made her stunned for a moment. When she saw clearly what was in her hand, she was stunned for a moment.

A square and exquisitely crafted gold medal, with tassels on the bottom, and the four dignified words "no obstacles to entry and exit" engraved on the face of the card.

Chu Ci couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Didn't Your Majesty say you won't give it to me?"

Liu Fu explained with a smile: "Holding this token is equivalent to having a certificate of free entry and exit from the palace. Because it is of great importance, Your Majesty has never given it to any minister. Now that he has given it to you, you must keep it carefully!"

Chu Ci didn't know what Cang Ling was thinking, but she was really happy to get this surprise unexpectedly. She couldn't help but say to Liufu: "Teacher Fu would like to thank him for me first... By the way, tell him that I will thank him personally after I return to the palace!"

With this brand that is rare and precious, Chu Ci successfully left the palace after the palace ban.

Before leaving, I heard two of the guards on duty whispering:

"See? The one who just went out is the top scorer of both civil and military this year, called Chu Ci!"

"I know, when he came to the palace examination that day, I let him in! Bingha, I saw that this kid was extraordinary at that time, but I didn't expect that he really shouldn't be underestimated!"

"That's it! I heard that I am very popular now. Your Majesty has taken the position of Deputy Commander of Dragon Soul Guard..."

When it comes to the future, Chu Ci has gone far away and can't hear it, but she knows that these people are discussing nothing more than what happened in the past few days.

Since even the guards guarding the city began to discuss the rumors about her Chu Ci, even if her father was idle at home and didn't go to court, I guess he had heard about her situation almost the same?

Then, when my father saw her again, would he froze and refuse to pay attention to her and insisted on waiting for her to admit his mistake, or would he be so angry that he would kick her out, a bastard who was playing with fire?

Chu Ci just thought about it and felt expectant. He raised his whip and rode his horse to the Duke's Mansion quickly, thinking that he could catch up with them to have supper when she returned!

Her speed was fast, and the distance from the imperial city to the Duke's Mansion was not too far. In nearly a quarter of an hour, Chu Ci could see the gate of the Duke's Mansion from afar.

Chu Ci couldn't help but speed up again, but when she got closer and closer to the door of the Duke's Mansion, she vaguely saw a figure standing in front of the door, with her back slightly bent, standing alone in the light and shadow of the lantern in front of the door. The thin shadow was rendered with a bit of loneliness.

She recognized that it was Gu Liancheng.

I don’t know when he came out, nor how long he had stood there. In short, when she came back on a horse after the night, she saw her father-in-law standing at their doorstep, quietly waiting for her to come back.

Chu Ci unknowingly slowed down his fast horse, then stopped slowly, jumped off the horse, held the reins, and walked over step by step until he walked in front of Gu Liancheng.

"Luan'er?" Gu Liancheng called out after seeing the visitor, raised his eyes to look at her. His originally calm expression suddenly changed to a happy smile, and asked with concern, "Are you back?"

"...Dad." Chu Ci shouted softly, leaving the beginning a little bit, unable to bear to look at the joy and care in his eyes, and did not know what to say now, so he could only say, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's not too late, just come back!" Gu Liancheng laughed indifferently, pulling Chu Ci's arm while shouting angrily into the door, "Old Yan! Come out quickly!"

Gu Liancheng's personal butler, Uncle Yan, immediately ran out, and without saying a word, took the reins from Chu Ci's hand and led the horse to the backyard to place it.

While pulling Chu Ci to the mansion, Gu Liancheng lowered his voice and said with a low voice: "Sheng'er and I haven't had dinner yet, so we are waiting for you to come back together! Sheng'er told me the day before yesterday that you would go home today, but we were not sure when, so we didn't dare to eat early. We cooked a lot of your favorite dishes for you, and the pear blossoms made by Sheng'er himself, so we are waiting for you to come back together."
