Just understanding in my heart, yet emotionally unwilling to accept.
Because when Ye Muyu sat down, her expressionless face did not look good.
How could Chu Heng not sense her displeasure? He leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Ah Yu, please wait a mont, at most two quarters of an hour, once the matters are done, we will return, alright?"
Ye Muyu looked at his still sowhat frail body, heart aching for his fatigue, and she knew that the sooner he finished his work, the sooner he could rest. She nodded, "Alright, go quickly, I’ll wait for you."
"Good girl." Chu Heng kissed her on the lips, then turned and left.
Ye Muyu sat in the room, without lowering her head, gazing through the window. She watched the hall where Chu Heng soon appeared in her line of sight. She watched intently as if this alone could satisfy her heart.
Even when the servant boy from the yan brought tea in, she didn’t hear a word, and the tea eventually cooled down. The servant boy even thought she naturally wasn’t a sociable person, found it strange but didn’t dwell on it, as it was a rare job.
Chu Heng said two quarters of an hour, but having been asleep for over three months, too much had happened. Whether it was Elder Zhong or other officials at the Official Gazette Office, they all wanted to report matters to him.
When everything was dealt with, it had already exceeded the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Chu Heng frowned, stood up, and said, "Minister Zhong, thank you for your hard work. I still need to visit the Departnt of Comrce and Construction once. If there is anything urgent, send the ssage to the residence. Thank you all for your efforts. I will leave first."
Then, under the curious gazes of the crowd, he decisively pushed open the door, picked up Ye Muyu, and left.
"Lord Chu... isn’t obsessed with governntal affairs anymore." Soone sighed.
Elder Zhong felt the crowd lacked insight, but it was rare to see Chu Heng in a hurry. After all, in the past, Chu Heng was always calm and collected, and he found it sowhat interesting, "Alright, let’s continue as usual. Lord Chu has just awakened and should not overexert himself. Besides, in the past few months, everyone has perford their duties. Now that the Official Gazette Office is on track, there’s no need for Lord Chu to oversee everything. Everyone should have so confidence."
"Minister Zhong, aren’t we just concerned about Lord Chu?"
The crowd touched their noses, then grinned widely.
It could be said that Chu Heng personally led the Official Gazette Office out of its infancy. Although these officials were not his aides, they had respect and gratitude in their hearts for him. Saying so much was rely an excuse to see Chu Heng more often.
An excellent superior is soone who is missed.
anwhile.
When Ye Muyu heard that Chu Heng still needed to visit the Departnt of Comrce and Construction, she frowned, "Can’t it wait until tomorrow?"
"It’s almost before noon. The hour is not early. You’ve just woken up and still need to take care of your health."
Chu Heng embraced her waist and smiled faintly, "Don’t worry. I’m just going over to have them send the official business to the residence. At least I need to show my face, otherwise, won’t it give others an opportunity to catch my faults, delaying things even further later on."
Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu chose to relent, holding his hand tightly, "Alright, let’s go now. If they don’t send it, you can take the opportunity to understand the situation inside the Departnt of Comrce and Construction."
"Yes, not bad." Chu Heng kissed her, got off the carriage first, and the two, with expressionless faces, walked inside.
The atmosphere in the Departnt of Comrce and Construction wasn’t as good as the Official Gazette Office, given that most inside were Emperor Xuanming’s confidants, not Chu Heng’s.
