Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1928: Chapter 1925: Talented and Extraordinary Individuals

“Otherwise, when the Emperor finds out in the future, this would be evidence of disloyalty.”

Ye Muyu fiddled with his fingers, pondering, “Then you might as well rub out this suggestion, just report the fact.”

“I also need to test the theory.” Chu Heng had considered this issue as well.

But he still had to confirm the specific circumstances concerning Emperor Xuanming.

What was the reason for the sudden favoritism towards Consort Jie?

Uncertainty on this point would only lead to greater turmoil, he couldn’t foresee what would happen next, and naturally couldn’t prepare in advance.

Ye Muyu understood.

He felt even more sympathy for Chu Heng.

Sighing, “Can’t you find another way, at least not on your hand anymore.”

Ye Muyu stood up, blowing gently on the wound on his forehead, “Come over here, let me apply ointment for you.”

Chu Heng enjoyed this kind of care from her, didn’t resist at all, and leaned closer voluntarily, bending down to make it easier for her.

“It’s fine, after this time it should be almost over, but today the Emperor dealt with so many ministers, his anger should have subsided somewhat. Even if I submit the petition, he might not act impulsively again.”

What Chu Heng didn’t say was, he might not act impulsively, but there could be changes in official positions.

Yet these were uncertain variables, he naturally wouldn’t mention them to worry Ye Muyu.

“Does it hurt?” Ye Muyu tenderly applied the ointment and blew on it.

Chu Heng smiled, “It doesn’t hurt.”

“Right, what did you say to Ziluo this afternoon?” Ye Muyu, realizing the matter later, casually asked.

Chu Heng revealed that he entrusted Chu Ziluo with the letter Prince Rong sent her.

“Ziluo is quite obedient.” Ye Muyu said with a lighthearted smile.

“Yes, Ziluo is a smart person, she knows what she’s doing.” Chu Heng used to think the children in the family were too young, mostly lingering on unfavorable impressions from their past lives.

Driven by guilt and the desire to guide the kids towards independence, to live well without being troubled by elders’ words.

But unknowingly, the children had grown up.

Ah Yu being beside him contributed to this influence on the children.

Chu Heng couldn’t resist wrapping his arms around Ye Muyu.

The sudden embrace startled Ye Muyu, her fingers nearly poking his wound, she gasped, her head nestled against his neck.

“Hey, let go of me, what’s the matter, I almost poked your wound, you really don’t fear pain.” Ye Muyu gritted her teeth.

Chu Heng didn’t respond, just smiled faintly. After holding her for a while, sensing someone in his embrace was about to grow impatient, he loosened his grip.

Ye Muyu hurriedly straightened herself, raising a hand with righteous indignation, “Hey, I said, don’t move again, or I’ll get mad.”

“Yes, won’t move.”

Chu Heng cooperated very well, nodding with a smile.

“By the way, you mentioned earlier, there’s a remarkable person by Consort Jie’s side?” Ye Muyu wiped her hands with a handkerchief, cleaning off the ointment.

Chu Heng reached out to gather the petitions on the table, “Yes, Prince Rong told Ziluo this news.”

“Zhongjin’s character isn’t an issue, but ultimately he’s someone of the Prince’s rank.” Ye Muyu didn’t voice her next thoughts.

No matter her affection for Li Chongjin, due to his status, trust couldn’t be absolute. Good relations could be maintained without mutual harm, but trust must be reserved.

This was merely a measure of self-preservation.

It’s truly unfortunate.

“An extraordinary person, what’s so extraordinary about them?”
