Bai Zhi raised her hand: “Stop it, I’m not your cook, you can just tell the imperial dining room what you want to eat, why come here to beg for food?”
Chu Yan smiled smugly: “My wife’s cooking skills are much better than the imperial chef’s. I just want to eat the food cooked by my wife.”
As usual, at this time, he would never be able to spare time. But now, after using Bai Zhi’s method of categorizing memorials, and adding some of his ideas, the memorial in the imperial study room has already been approved a long time ago. After cleaning and tidying them, naturally, the first thing that comes to his mind was her.
“Who is your wife? You should go find that Ying Guiren in your harem.” Bai Zhi frowned.
Chu Yan was taken aback, and quickly asked: “Have you heard any rumors?”
The blush on Bai Zhi’s face has long since disappeared, replaced by a pale and full of gloom.
She didn’t believe it in her heart. But after hearing such news, she couldn’t pretend to be happy as if nothing happened.
“I heard that you are going to be a father, congratulations!” Bai Zhi finally put down the book in her hand, raised her eyes to meet his, and stared at his face.
When he came in, she was holding the book all the time, staring at it, but never turned the pages, and didn’t even move her eyeballs.
After all, she had to ask. She didn’t want to misjudge something because of others’ rumors, and she still had to allow him to explain.
Chu Yan frowned, and asked calmly: “Who told you?” He thought of Meng Nan leaving the mansion just now, and immediately said: “Is it Meng Nan? He said it, right?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, he just came to apologize for what happened last time, and didn’t say anything else.”
“Then who? No one can know such court secrets.”
Listening to Chu Yan’s words, Bai Zhi’s heart began to throb with pain: “So, is it true? That Ying Guiren is pregnant with your child?”
Chu Yan shook his head: “I don’t know if she is pregnant or not, but I know that if she is pregnant, it must not be mine. I don’t even know who that Ying Guiren is or what she looks like.”
“Really?” Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked. After all, most of the rumors in this world were fabricated out of nothing, there will always be some signs.
A slap can’t make a sound!
Chu Yan nodded immediately: “Of course, it’s true, when have I lied to you?”
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow again, her eyes were clear.
Chu Yan immediately touched his chin with a dry smile: “I apologize for pretending to be blind before, it was my fault, but this is the only thing I kept from you, nothing else.”
“Really? Is there nothing else to hide from me?” Bai Zhi asked.
Chu Yan felt bitter in his heart. Naturally, he still had something to hide from her, but it wasn’t time to talk about that.
After all, the matter was of great importance, and it cannot be accomplished in a day or two, or a few sentences.
He was not even sure if he can succeed, so it is naturally inconvenient to say it.
“Certainly.”
Bai Zhi skipped over this matter, and returned to the matter of Imperial Concubine Ying: “Tell me, what happened to that Ying Guiren.”
Chu Yan said: “I only found out about this today, and I have already sent someone to investigate. Awu will come and tell us as soon as he finds out.”
He probably knew something in his heart, but he was not sure, and he still needed Longwei to send the definite news.
As soon as Chu Yan’s words fell, Zhou Awu’s figure swept into the yard, hurriedly stepped forward to salute Chu Yan, and said: “Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified. It was the mother of Ying Guiren who drank two glasses of wine, then uttered nonsense in a fit of anger when arguing with Madaam Luo.”
