Seeing Gu Xiaolian's wrinkled face, Han Guang felt very strange, so he asked curiously, "Gu Xiaolian, what's wrong with you? Could it be that this pastry is made by Huang Lian? Is it so unpalatable?"

Han Guang just complained casually, but after Gu Xiaolian spit out the pastries in her mouth, she threw the remaining pastries in her hands on the table, and after rinsing her mouth with tea, she looked at Zhao Qingzao with a depressed face and said: "Sister Qingzao, you haven't made pastries for a long time, although the pastries in the Prime Minister's Mansion are not bad, but they can't be compared with the pastries you make at all, when will you make something delicious and let us be satisfied?"

It turned out that after a long time, Gu Xiaolian just wanted Zhao Qingzao to cook herself, in fact, what Gu Xiaolian said was right, Zhao Qingzao had indeed not made something delicious for a long time, since marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was either busy intriguing with Chi Fenglai, or in order to deal with other things, so for a while, she also left the cooking behind, and now after listening to what Gu Xiaolian said, Zhao Qingzao reacted and said with a smile: " It's true that I haven't made good food for a long time, but I have to deal with Chi Fenglai, and I don't have the heart to make good food, if you and Han Guang help me deal with this matter, whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you. ”

Zhao Qingzao knew what kind of character Gu Xiaolian and Han Guang were, so he didn't take this opportunity to let the two of them do things seriously, if something happened at that time, Zhao Qingzao's plan would not be able to go smoothly, and Zhao Qingzao also wanted to find an opportunity to cook in person and make some delicious food, so he said this.

Sure enough, after listening to what Zhao Qingzao said, Gu Xiaolian immediately said: "Sister Qingzao, don't worry, Han Guang and I will definitely do a good job, and you must make something delicious when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded with a smile, and agreed to Gu Xiaolian. Seeing this, Gu Xiaolian smiled very happily, Zhao Qingzao and Han Guang looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

After saying a few more words, Zhao Qingzao urged Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian to hurry up and get down to business, after all, she was going to the palace as a guest, if she didn't hurry up and tell Chi Feng that Master Chi was going to be beheaded, it would be too late.

After Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian left, Zhao Qingzao asked Xiaoyu to pack up all the things on the table, and then returned to the house.

"Qing Zao, Han Guang and Xiao Lian are gone?" Hearing Zhao Qing Zao's footsteps, Shen Changting raised his head and asked Zhao Qing Zao.

"So you know the two of them are here? I thought you were too obsessed with reading. Zhao Qingzao walked to Shen Changting with a smile and sat down, and then said.

How could Shen Changting not know that Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian were coming? The two of them were talking so loudly, and when Xiaocao ran back to the house, he also told him about it, so he already knew that Han Guang and Gu Xiaolian had come to find Zhao Qingzao, but he didn't go out, and he wasn't curious about what the two of them came to Zhao Qingzao for.

Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting, thinking that Master Chi was about to be beheaded, and hesitated to tell Shen Changting about it, after all, Master Chi was his uncle after all.

"Changting, aren't you worried about Master Chi? He is now in prison, don't you want to go and see him?" Zhao Qingzao hesitated for a moment before asking Shen Changting.

Hearing this, Shen Changting put down the book in his hand, and then stared at Zhao Qingzao's eyes tightly, making Zhao Qingzao a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned his head.

"Qingzao, do you have something to say to me?" Shen Changting is not a fool, he and Zhao Qingzao have been married for so many years, how could he not understand Zhao Qingzao's temperament? So when he heard what Zhao Qingzao had just said, he felt a little strange, and naturally asked Zhao Qingzao clearly.

If Shen Changting knew that Master Chi was going to be beheaded, maybe he would relent and save Master Chi, thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing, just ask casually, I'll go and see what Xiaocao is doing, you continue to read." ”

After speaking, Zhao Qingzao didn't wait for Shen Changting to reply, he immediately stood up, and then walked away, Shen Changting looked at Zhao Qingzao's back, sighed helplessly, was silent for a while, and then continued to pick up the book in his hand, and didn't ask about Master Chi again.

"Xiaocao, what are you painting?" Zhao Qingzao walked behind Xiaocao and found that Xiaocao was drawing on the table with a serious face, so he asked suspiciously.

Hearing Zhao Qingzao ask, Xiaocao turned her head and said, "Mother, the Seventh Prince said that my paintings are very beautiful, so I want to give him my paintings." ”

It turned out that Xiaocao painted for the Seventh Prince, thinking that the Seventh Prince might be Chi Fenglai's friend, but Xiaocao was so good to him, Zhao Qingzao felt very depressed, if Chi Fenglai knew about it, she would definitely use the Seventh Prince's hand on Xiaocao, Xiaocao is still a simple child, if she is really deceived, she will encounter danger at that time.

"Xiaocao, why are you so good to the Seventh Prince?" Zhao Qingzao held Xiaocao's shoulder and asked in a deep voice.

"Because he is the seventh prince, if I don't treat him well, he will be angry at that time, and then hurt his mother and father. Xiaocao opened a pair of big eyes and said seriously.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but be stunned, after reacting, he felt warm in his heart, he originally thought that Xiaocao was so good to him because he liked the Seventh Prince, but he didn't expect that after a long time, Xiaocao was worried that she and Shen Changting would encounter danger, thinking that Xiaocao was still a child of a few years old, he actually knew to protect her and Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao had a sour nose and gently hugged Xiaocao.

"Xiaocao, my mother and father will protect themselves, so don't worry about the two of us being in danger, you just need to protect yourself, the Seventh Prince is a noble person, maybe he will be angry inexplicably at any time, even if he invites you to go out of the house alone, you can't promise him, you know?" Zhao Qingzao was really worried that Xiaocao would be in danger, so he said to Xiaocao again, I hope Xiaocao can remember what she said, and don't fall for the Seventh Prince and Chi Fenglai.

Xiaocao blinked his eyes, although he didn't know why Zhao Qingzao looked nervous, but as long as Zhao Qingzao said, he would definitely listen to it, so after Xiaocao reacted, he immediately nodded, and then said: "Mother, I know, I definitely won't follow the Seventh Prince out of the house casually." ”

Hearing Xiaocao say this, Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the paintings on the table were almost finished, Zhao Qingzao said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, you continue to paint, don't waste this painting." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao planned to go out and go to Chu Xingshan to discuss things, seeing that Shen Changting was still reading carefully, Zhao Qingzao did not come forward to disturb him, and slipped out lightly, but Zhao Qingzao had just left, Shen Changting raised his head, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

After Zhao Qingzao slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately took a carriage to the General's Mansion, but after arriving at the General's Mansion, he found that Chu Xingshan was not in the Mansion at all.

"Where did General Chu go, hasn't he come back at this hour?" Zhao Qingzao asked the housekeeper.

"The general was called into the palace by the emperor, probably for the affairs of Chifu. The butler replied directly.

Chu Xingshan was actually called into the palace? Zhao Qingzao couldn't help but think of the fact that Master Chi was about to be beheaded, could it be that the emperor had already decided, or should he cut off Master Chi's head, so as to make an example of the monkey? If this is the case, then Zhao Qingzao's plan will be disrupted, so Zhao Qingzao also felt a headache, so he said to the housekeeper: "When will he return home?"

"I guess I'll be back in a while, and the general has been in the palace for several hours. The housekeeper thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Qingzao, and found that Zhao Qingzao was very anxious, and the housekeeper continued: "Young Lady Shen might as well wait in the general's mansion for a while, maybe the general will return to the mansion soon." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded helplessly, now in this situation, she can indeed only wait for Chu Xingshan in the general's mansion.

I thought it would take a long time for Chu Xingshan to return home, but Zhao Qingzao's luck was still quite good, just after waiting for a while, Chu Xingshan returned home.

"Qing Zao, why are you here?" Chu Xingshan immediately asked after seeing Zhao Qing Zao.

"Xingshan, what is the emperor calling you into the palace for?" Zhao Qingzao was very anxious, so he couldn't care so much, and hurriedly asked Chu Xingshan.

After Chu Xingshan took off the cloak on his body, he took another big sip of tea, and then said, "It's just to ask about the matter of Chi Fu, what's wrong?

"Xiaolian said that the emperor was going to cut off Master Chi's head, I originally wanted to come over to discuss things with you, but I learned that you were summoned into the palace by the emperor, and I thought that the emperor had decided to make an order. Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Chu Xingshan.

As soon as the words fell, Chu Xingshan hurriedly asked: "The emperor wants to cut off Master Chi's head?" When I entered the palace, the emperor only asked about Master Chi's situation, but he didn't say anything, if he really wanted to cut off Master Chi's head, why didn't he tell me?"

Chu Xingshan is a general of the dynasty, so the emperor will definitely let him do these things, but Chu Xingshan has just returned from the palace, but he still doesn't know anything, if it wasn't for Zhao Qingzao telling him about it, he still doesn't know anything.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao also felt a little strange, but Gu Xiaolian had already promised that she was telling the truth, so Zhao Qingzao thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe the emperor hasn't decided whether to cut off Master Chi's head, so he didn't tell you, if he really told you, then Master Chi's head will definitely not be saved." ”

Zhao Qingzao came to the General's Mansion to discuss with Chu Xingshan, so after talking about Master Chi's affairs, Zhao Qingzao told Chu Xingshan about the Seventh Prince.

"The Seventh Prince invited you to the palace as a guest? The Seventh Princess is also in the palace, presumably nothing will happen, don't worry. Chu Xingshan thought that Zhao Qingzao was afraid that he would encounter danger in the Seven Princes' Mansion, so he comforted him.

"Xingshan, I'm not worried about encountering danger in the Seven Kings' Mansion, I just want you to send a few people to follow Chi Fenglai. Zhao Qingzao waved his hand and then said.
