Chapter 1217: Who goes whichever way the wind blows
Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, and waved at him impatiently: "I know, I know, you should hurry up, it will be dawn soon."
Chu Yan chuckled, rushed forward, kissed her flushed cheek, and then jumped out of the window contentedly.
Seeing that he was gone, Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Her face became hotter and hotter, she simply pulled the quilt and hid her head inside.
In Jinluan Hall
After Chu Yan returned to the palace, he changed into a bright red peacock feather with a golden dragon on the shoulders and sleeves and dragon robes. He seldom wore such a flamboyant color. He always liked black or dark purple robes.
But today he wanted to show off.
With the support of Eunuch Fu, Chu Yan sat on the dragon chair, fixed his eyes on a place in front of him, pretended to be blind, and looked at the powerful officials, who usually said the words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism". He wanted to see what exactly they were planning.
After paying respect, all the officials got up. Many secretly raised their eyes to look at the emperor. Seeing the emperor's gaze was dull, their sizing eyes became more bold and more reckless.
The corner of Eunuch Fu's mouth was slightly hooked. He thought to himself that there seems to be a good show to watch today. These useless people have no vision at all.
The Seventh Prince stood up first, and said to Chu Yan: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Chu Yan's eyes didn't move, but he said in a low voice: "My eyes are fine, you can speak if you have something to say, and retreat if you don't have one."
The Seventh Prince didn't believe his words, so he took two steps forward. These two steps were already taboo. A subject should keep a distance from the dragon seat unless the emperor calls him to step forward. Otherwise, anyone should never go beyond that rule.
But the Seventh Prince has gone beyond that rule now.
Chu Yan stared blankly in front of him, never turning his eyes as if he didn't see the action of the Seventh Prince.
At this time, all the civil and military officials had almost confirmed the fact that the emperor was blind. The small group of people who had stood in line with the Seventh Prince was very nervous, but now when they saw the emperor like this, they immediately felt happy.
The emperor was blind. He won't be able to sit on the throne for long. Looking at the current dynasty, among the adult princes, the Seventh Prince was the only one who has the hope of becoming the next emperor.
Some grasshoppers were starting to regret it. They should have made a decision earlier. Now that their ship had sunk, they will not be as popular as the previous one.
But of course, some ministers were loyal to Chu Yan. Most of these ministers were capable ministers cultivated by Dongfang Mu. They were really honest, loyal, and patriotic.
It was just, after seeing the emperor's appearance, they were somewhat worried.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Zhuo Chengzhi stood up.
Chu Yan's facial expression remained unchanged. He simply hummed and said: "Speak!" It would be strange if this guy didn't speak. After all, he just sent Zhuo Xier out of the palace yesterday. So he will mention the matter of the vacant position of the empress today, and then the importance of the crown prince.
As Chu Yan expected, after Zhuo Chengzhi made a big speech, there was nothing more than two key points. One was the Empress, and the other was the Crown Prince.
Chu Yan changed his usual attitude of avoiding this topic and said directly: "My fiancée has returned to the capital. The matter of the Empress is already under discussion. You don't have to worry about it, just wait."
Zhuo Chengzhi naturally knew that Bai Zhi returned to the capital, but he didn't expect that the Emperor would say such a thing in public. It was true that Bai Zhi was his fiancée. But with Bai Zhi's current reputation, how can she still sit on the seat of the mother of a country?
Zhuo Chengzhi looked sideways and gave Minister Zheng a wink.
Minister Zheng stood up immediately and said to Chu Yan: "Your Majesty, please think twice. Although Miss Bai is the fiancée of the Emperor ordered since childhood, and she has shared weal and woe with the Emperor, which deserves to be the Empress. But now—"
