Chapter 1782 -1775: The Person This Temple Likes, She is Right Here

Zhuo Junli entered the imperial study with a fox-like smile. With a few words, he dismissed all the curious ministers, not giving them any chance to gossip.

Once everyone had left, Chu Heng, seated on the dragon throne, gave Zhuo Junli a gentle smile, “It’s fortunate that you came, Prime Minister Zhuo, otherwise I wouldn’t have known how to deal with them today.”

“Since the Crown Prince is about to reach adulthood, there’s no need to be too polite to these people. Your Highness, you’re still too gentle,” Zhuo Junli advised with a smile.

After many years as both a Prime Minister and advisor, he had watched Chu Heng grow from a little boy and had resolved all of Chu Heng’s issues, big and small.

Now, he felt it was time to teach him to grow.

“I have heard, Your Highness, that the woman Crown Prince brought back is the sister of a scholar who came to the capital to take the imperial exams. She looks quite pleasing, but her family is of merchant background. Even if Your Highness likes her, she cannot be considered a candidate for the empress. Please bear this in mind, Your Highness.”

Zhuo Junli advised.

Chu Heng smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

Instead, it was Sun Wu, who served Chu Heng, who frowned slightly. After Zhuo Junli left, he quietly said, “Your Highness is being too mild. This old servant sees that Prime Minister Zhuo is becoming increasingly disrespectful towards you. Even if the woman you favor is not of matching status, he shouldn’t be instructing you like that.”

It’s the tone of a father scolding his son, but Zhuo Junli is merely the Prime Minister!

Our emperor is still present and will soon return to court with the empress!

Chu Heng’s smile was gentle, “It’s nothing, Prime Minister Zhuo is just concerned about me.”

“But he…” Sun Wu wanted to protest more, but Chu Heng was already showing signs of fatigue.

Chu Heng returned to his chamber to rest, and as soon as he closed the door, the Little Ginseng in his mind flared up, “Why are you so polite to Zhuo Junli? He scolds you like a son! And says others aren’t worthy to be your empress! You’re the Crown Prince; who you like is your decision, okay? What right do others have to interfere?”

“But the one I like, she’s right here,” Chu Heng looked at the figure bouncing about behind him in his mind, speaking in a low voice.

“Here? Where, where? Do you really like that Rong Yue!” Little Ginseng was very disappointed. She had been cultivating for so long, her spiritual body had yet to turn into a woman’s form, not even a face!

And Chu Heng already had someone he liked?

Boohoo! She’s angry!

Chu Heng was quite pleased to see her hopping about in anger, “If you’d be willing to turn around and let me see, I’d tell you.”

“I… I don’t want to know anymore.” Little Ginseng’s voice gradually weakened.

In her current form, just a silhouette without a face, wouldn’t she just scare him to death if she turned around?

Chu Heng couldn’t see her, which left him quite disappointed, but he didn’t neglect any official matters.

In the middle of the night, he stood beneath the eaves of the corridor of his chamber, gazing into the distance as the Imperial Guards patrolled back and forth. Imperial guards moved throughout the palace, which was very strictly guarded.

As the Crown Prince residing in the imperial palace, he should be glad to be in a safe place.

But he slightly frowned at the thought that he had strengthened palace security, yet he wondered if anyone could still break in.

Chu Heng lowered his head, calculating on his fingers.

As his thumb landed on the second joint of his middle finger, a shadow suddenly swept by. Someone silently approached him, bending to kneel, “Sui Feng, at Your Highness’s service.”

Chu Heng smirked, “With tightened security and a batch of better guards, your extraordinary lightness skill still brings you to my side.”
