Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 985 The Dragon-Riding Son-in-Law, Young Master Six

Huangfu Xiong never expected his daughter to be so protective of this man.

In my heart, I had already made up my mind.

After what happened with that general, Huangfu Xiong had no way to deal with his daughter.

Now that she has found what she loves, she doesn't care what kind of cat or dog it is. With her support, even a pig can be made to fly.

However, since he had already drawn his sword, he couldn't just put it back so easily.

Then he continued sternly, "Jiu'er, stop fooling around. You are still young, how can you know the darkness of this world? Perhaps this is a spy from another country."

"Your father is happy for you, but to enter the royal family, one must undergo the royal family's investigation. I hope you understand!"

After saying that, he gripped the knife in his right hand and quickly removed it from Huangfu Caiyun's neck. Then he said to the person beside him, "Guards, take this person away and investigate him thoroughly."

After hearing this, several guards walked towards Chu Chen.

At this moment, Chu Chen understood Huangfu Xiong's meaning, and seeing that Huangfu Caiyun was still trying to stop him, he immediately spoke up.

"Caiyun, don't worry. I, Lao Liu, have always lived an upright life. Since His Majesty wants to investigate me, we will cooperate."

"Wait for me here. I believe our Emperor will grant our wish!"

After saying that, Chu Chen broke free from Huangfu Caiyun and walked directly in front of the guards.

"Your Majesty, everything about me is completely innocent. I believe Your Majesty can find out the truth with a simple investigation."

Seeing that Huangfu Caiyun had stopped making a fuss, Huangfu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, snorted at Chu Chen, and turned to leave.

Chu Chen followed directly behind and walked out of the palace.

A short while later, the group arrived at another palace.

Chu Chen was led directly into a room that was completely sealed off, with only an iron door.

The furnishings inside were quite nice; everything you'd expect was there, and even the beds were clean and soft.

After pushing Chu Chen in, Huangfu Xiong led the others out of the room, and then the iron door was closed.

Looking at everything inside, Chu Chen immediately understood. He guessed that his father-in-law didn't want to break ties with him, so he made this arrangement.

As long as the investigation finds no problems with me, they will take me out.

A day later, Chu Chen was drinking and eating chicken legs inside, looking nothing like someone who had been locked up.

Days passed by, and finally on the seventh day, Chu Chen was taken away by a white-faced, beardless eunuch.

Chu Chen used his money-making ability to directly give the eunuch two small yellow croakers.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if the investigation into me has been completed?"

"Oh, Your Excellency, you're too kind. In that case, I'll have to accept your offer!"

The father-in-law took the gold from Chu Chen's hand with a smile, said this, and then led the way on his own.

There was one sentence that Chu Chen understood, which meant that the investigation was complete and the results were quite good.

Otherwise, how could this eunuch have uttered the title "Prince Consort"?

Before long, the two arrived at Huangfu Xiong's study. After leaving Chu Chen behind, the eunuch stood directly behind Huangfu Xiong.

Chu Chen, as before, bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

In fact, he didn't take the so-called investigation seriously at all. As long as he had money, it would be easy to fabricate a backstory and create a persona.

If people can do this in modern society, it's even more possible in ancient times when information was limited.

"Old Li, please have a seat."

Huangfu Xiong did not respond or look at Chu Chen. He continued to flip through the memorials on the table. When he heard Chu Chen bow, he directly gave instructions to Eunuch Li behind him.

After hearing this, Eunuch Li immediately brought a chair for Chu Chen.

After Chu Chen sat down, he looked at Huangfu Xiong in front of him without saying a word.

After a long while, Huangfu Xiong finally raised his head from the table: "Sixth Brother Chu, you are quite amazing. Your whole family perished at sea, leaving you the only survivor, yet you have built such a large fortune."

"This also proves that Jiu'er did not misjudge him."

"Moreover, your ability to remain so calm and composed in front of me is enough to demonstrate that you possess extraordinary qualities."

“Jiu’er is a strange person. In all these years, it’s rare for her to take a liking to someone. As the ruler of a country and as a father, I will grant your wish.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately stood up and bowed to Huangfu Xiong again: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Cai'er and I fell in love at first sight and developed feelings for each other. I will definitely treat Caiyun well in the future!"

Huangfu Xiong sneered after hearing this.

"Hmph, we're all men, you don't need to say these things to me. The outrageous things you did in the capital, that's what you should be like."

After listening, Chu Chen thought to himself that this father-in-law was quite good, and a very open-minded one at that.

When I first arrived in the capital, I visited all the major brothels and entertainment venues in the city within just a few days.

There's no way around it; it would be too illogical for a wealthy person not to frequent brothels.

However, I only went to listen to music, nothing more. How could I, Chu Lao Liu, be addicted to brothels?

"Alright, as for marriage, it's not the right time yet, but since Jiu'er needs it, you can stay with Jiu'er for now."

"Also, from now on, don't go out and flirt with women or frequent brothels. After all, your every move now represents the royal family."

"Also, if you need to do any business in the capital, just tell Eunuch Li, and he will give you the greatest help."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, Lao Li, send someone to take him back!"

Throughout the entire process, Chu Chen only said a few words before being escorted out by Eunuch Li.

While lamenting Huangfu Xiong's rashness, Chu Chen also thought of another problem.

That was Huangfu Xiong. He was really eager to marry Huangfu Caiyun off; otherwise, he wouldn't have been denied even a chance to speak.

Outside the Imperial Study, Chu Chen sent two more small gifts: "In the future, I hope you will give me your guidance!"

"Haha, Your Excellency, I hope you will give this old servant a good chance in the future!"

"Haha, let's support and help each other!"

After saying that, Chu Chen turned around and followed the other eunuchs away.

Upon returning to the Imperial Study, Eunuch Li immediately gave Chu Chen a thumbs-up: "Your Majesty, this is truly a worthy son-in-law!"

"Hahaha, Jiu'er's judgment is never wrong!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, then burst into laughter.

Chu Chen, accompanied by two eunuchs, went directly to Huangfu Caiyun's palace.

Upon seeing Chu Chen, Huangfu Caiyun rushed over: "Sixth Brother, you're finally back! I've missed you so much these past few days!"

"Haha, let me see how much you want it..."
