"Now that the New Year is coming soon, we can't let the soldiers in the northwest have nothing to eat, the emperor, the concubines are willing to donate five hundred taels of silver, and let those good sons and daughters who sacrificed their lives for the country have a good year. ”

As soon as the queen took the lead, the concubines in the harem all took out their private money and donated some of it more or less the next day.

When Concubine Liu Guifei learned of this, she was furious and her head was about to smoke: "She has to compete for the limelight in everything! The Queen Mother is not in the palace now, who is she going to show like this?"

"Mother, no matter what the queen has done in this matter, there is nothing wrong with the queen, we should also come up with some money, so as not to fall into the limelight. ”

Chu Yi also frowned on the side: "It's just that my father has sent me to check on the affairs of Prince Murong these days, how should I report it?"

"What's so difficult about this? Now that the whole palace knows that it is the King of War and the Xiliang people who are colluding, you will drag this matter along, and when their envoys arrive in the capital, your father and the emperor will have no time to take care of this matter anymore. ”

"How can it be so simple? My father has already become suspicious of me, and if I keep procrastinating, I am afraid that my father will distrust me even more. ”

Chu Yi sensed the seriousness of the matter, as the crown prince, there were many eyes in the court staring at him, and the face work that should be done still had to be done.

"It's not because I didn't find the body of the princess of war......"

Concubine Liu frowned, "Since you have found those Xiliang people, why haven't you found that Su Qing......?" She's not dead yet?"

"I had doubts about it, too. Chu Yi frowned: "I have already sent someone to investigate secretly, it is best for me to go out of the palace today and meet with Lord Murong to ask him if he has Su Qing's whereabouts." ”

"It's okay, but you must be careful in everything, since the emperor is already suspicious, maybe he is also investigating secretly. ”

Concubine Liu Guifei has been favored by the emperor's side for so many years, and she naturally understands the emperor's suspicions, but now she still has to take risks at a critical moment.

The war king died another princess, and the matter was spread in the capital for a few days, and then slowly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, it was Laba, and every household was busy putting up lanterns and hanging lanterns to prepare for the New Year.

As soon as Su Qing woke up, he heard Qingshuang shouting outside: "It's snowing, it's snowing, this is the first snow this winter!"

She has been living in this small courtyard outside the city for more than a month, and her body is gradually recovering, and she is able to walk on the ground.

She got up and walked to the door, the snow must have fallen all night, and her eyes were plain white, and the white was a little dazzling.

She squinted her eyes, and Qingshuang saw her figure and hurriedly jumped over: "Why doesn't the princess put on a dress? It's cold outside, come in quickly!"

But Su Qing stood at the door and didn't move, Qingshuang had to go in and get a cloak to put on her: "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, beware of catching a cold again." ”

I don't know why, seeing the snow scene in front of her, Su Qing seemed to suddenly feel the passage of time.

It was still summer when she arrived here, and more than half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, how did she feel as if everything had happened yesterday?

The gate of the courtyard suddenly creaked, interrupting Su Qing's thoughts, and she looked up.

Xiao Jue was holding a large bag of things in his arms and was about to walk in with his feet, Su Qing hurriedly stopped him: "Wait!"

The snow in this yard was flat, and she didn't want to be stepped on by someone.

Xiao Jue raised one foot and froze in place, struggling to raise his head and look at Su Qing: "Princess, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just whether you can fly over with light skills and don't step on the snow. Su Qing blinked, seeing the helplessness on Xiao Jue's face.

In the end, he still used his light skills to send those things over: "This is the clothes that the prince sent me to keep out the cold, and there is some silver charcoal in the carriage." ”

Luo Lansheng didn't come back after he went out seven days ago, and he didn't know where he went, so Su Qing temporarily had the right to use this courtyard.

Xiao Jue would send something over every once in a while, but Xiao Jingchen still didn't show up once.

Su Qing was used to it, and this time, as usual, she asked Qingshuang to take the things back and put them away, and let Xiao Jue stay for lunch together.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a figure in the courtyard, and behind him there was already a series of footprints on the flat snow.

Finally in the first snow of this winter, Su Qing saw Xiao Jingchen again.

He unexpectedly wore a moon-white robe today, walking in the snow like a fairy.

Xiao Jingchen saw Su Qing standing under the eaves of the corridor with a cloak at a glance, with no grease powder on his face.

But it was so beautiful that it was shocking, he couldn't help but squint, but heard Su Qing suddenly stop him.

"Lord, you've broken my snow!"

Su Qing frowned as if a good thing had been ruined, and Xiao Jue pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Xiao Jingchen walked over unmoved, and then stretched out his hand and waved back, and a gust of wind blew the footprints he had just stepped on smooth.

Su Qing just opened his mouth to say something, and was speechless for a while.

"The prince is here, come in, I'll make tea!" Qingshuang was even more excited than Su Qing when she saw Xiao Jingchen coming over, and hurriedly called them into the house.

Xiao Jingchen walked into the house and glanced around, as if he had come to inspect his territory.

The room was warmed by a fire, a few books were placed on the table, some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and a few paintings hung on the wall.

Only then did Su Qing react and hurriedly stepped forward to put away the paintings, which she was casually drawing and playing with, like a dog gnawing on them.

But her legs and feet were not yet good, and she was in a hurry, shaking her body and stumbling, and she was about to fall into the mud with a dog.

But a big hand grabbed her waist in time like a god descending from heaven and brought her into a wide embrace.

Next to this body, Su Qing suddenly felt that she was really not seen Xiao Jingchen for a long time.

It's been a long, long time since I've smelled this crisp smell on his body, like a white plum in the snow.

"Hasn't your body fully recovered after all this time? Xiao Jingchen's voice sounded close to his ears.

Su Qing suddenly came to his senses, pushed him away and took two steps back: "It's almost good, don't worry about it." ”

After saying that, he reached for the paintings and wanted to hide them.

"It seems that you have started to cultivate yourself here, this is a painting...... A plate of braised prawns?"

She clearly drew a picture of green shrimp, but Xiao Jingchen deliberately teased her here, not because he heard her on the roof that she wanted to eat braised prawns.

"The prince came all the way to me to see my jokes? Anyway, I'm already a dead man in the capital now, and the prince can find a pillow person again. ”

Su Qing angrily put away the paintings and pressed them to the bottom, and his mouth was not forgiving at all.
