Zhao Xian stood for a moment, connected the things before and after, and finally found the connection.

A person quietly walked behind her, she didn't look back, and suddenly asked, "Ah Yan, where did Wei Yanxiu go after escaping the palace that day?" ”

"Back to his master, he first fled to Jianlongguan in the west of the outer city, but after our men followed him, they left him behind. Three days later, Wei Yanxiu left Jianlongguan again, but he left Bianliang and went all the way to the southwest, the purpose of which was not clear. The person standing behind him was indeed Ah Yan.

"Southwest......" Zhao Xian thought carefully.

"Mo is not, Mo is not ......? Isn't the fief of the king of Chu exactly the southwest? She had a flash of inspiration and said: "Quickly send someone to follow, this time Wei Yanxiu must not be lost again, and the clue of the 'hidden gang' will fall on this person." With that, he turned and walked towards the antechamber.

At this time, the dinner was over, and everyone in the front hall was waved away, leaving only the eighth prince and the second son Yunliang, and Yunxi and Zhao Xian happened to enter the door with their front and back feet.

When the eighth king saw Zhao Xian coming in, he beckoned to her, motioned for her to come and sit down, and asked, "Xian'er, but from your mother's concubine?" ”

After Zhao Xian gave the salute, she said: "My daughter accompanied her mother to have dinner and came to visit her father on the way." I just saw the guest sent away by the eldest brother, but the brother of the uncle of the king of Chu? “

The eighth king nodded, and said with a complicated expression: "It is Yunsheng, he is the second son of your eldest uncle, and I haven't seen your eldest uncle for twenty years." ”

"Daddy, since I haven't seen him for 20 years, why did my cousin suddenly come to visit today?" She has also heard a little about the deeds of this King of Chu.

"Father, Xian'er has always been quite insightful, why don't you tell me about this matter and let my sister come up with an idea?" Yoon-hee on the side interjected.

The Eight Kings thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, Yunxi, you will tell Xian'er everything about the matter." ”

Yunxi sorted out his thoughts, looked up at his sister-in-law, and said: "This uncle of the King of Chu was originally our Ah Weng (grandfather), that is, the eldest son born to Empress Yuande of Emperor Taizong, who was made the crown prince very early, and because of his cool appearance, Taizong was the most pleased, and he was the most promising person to inherit the throne. It's a pity ......" Before he finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed again and again.

Zhao Xian knew where Yunxi's word "pity" came from.

"It's a pity that after that incident, Taizong had a dislike for this uncle of the king of Chu, and then because of a fire, he completely cut off his path to the throne. Since then, this uncle's temperament has changed greatly, and Taizong disliked him even more, deposed him as a concubine, and imprisoned him. This is an open secret in the royal family, and Yun Hee tells it as if she has seen it in person.

After Taizong's death, the first emperor ascended the throne, and the first emperor Nian's uncle was his half-brother, and restored his title of King of Chu, which was deprived by Taizong, and divided Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places to him. Since then, the eldest uncle has moved to Xiangyang and cut off contact with Bianliang. Yun Xi said and turned his head to look at the Eight Kings.

The eighth king nodded, Zhao Xian knew that she was about to get down to business, her eyes flashed, and she asked, "Cousin Yunsheng came to the mansion today, but it has something to do with the title?" ”

Zhao Xian came to this era since she was a member of the royal family, and she had already explored the various systems of the Great Song Dynasty and the various titles in the royal family.

The division of the title of the Great Song Dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasty, and the prince is crowned the king, and the title is only limited to his body, and it is not inherited from generation to generation. His descendants do not ask about their concubines, and the eldest of them will be crowned duke. The rest of the descendants are only like the sons of ordinary eunuchs.

Yun Xi did not hide his admiration for Zhao Xian, and said: "Cousin Yun Sheng came here today to bring a letter to his father, this letter was written by his uncle's father to his father, and it mentioned the matter of renewing the title, and wanted my father to help him in front of the official family. ”

"Renewal?" Zhao Xian asked, "Who will renew the knighthood?" ”

"Since Yunsheng personally sent the letter, depending on the intention of the eldest uncle, nine times out of ten I hope that Yunsheng will inherit it, right?" Yoon-hee guessed.

Zhao Xian's face showed a contemplative expression, and she no longer continued to ask her brother about the renewal of the title, but turned to ask the Eight Kings: "Daddy, my daughter heard that the King of Chu is also a general of Tiance, and he is in charge of an elite team of the Great Song Dynasty, called 'Tiance Mansion', can it be anything?" ”

The Eight Kings also had a heavy face and said: "The 'Tiance Mansion' is an existence whose combat effectiveness is no less than that of the secret guard, and what it does is different from the secret guard. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, each generation of the 'Tiance Mansion' has been run by the emperor's closest person. And the eldest brother has been running the 'Tiance Mansion' for decades, and it has long been more entrenched. ”

"It's no wonder ......". Zhao Xian linked the 'Hidden Gang' with the 'Tiance Mansion', the more she thought about it, the more she broke out in a cold sweat, the more worried she became, and she stood there for a while, no longer speaking, only her face changed repeatedly.

"Xian'er? But what comes to mind? Big brother Yunxi tugged at Zhao Xian's sleeve.

Zhao Xianfang came back to her senses and said: "Daddy, the matter of the King of Chu, you just have to hand over the letter to the official family, but don't say much, the official family must be measured."

The eighth king is also a smart person, and when he heard his daughter mention the 'Tiance Mansion', he connected the matter of renewing the lord with it, but he thought further, and he was afraid that what he wanted would come true, so he had already carefully considered how to deal with it.

The four people in the front hall, after hearing this, Yunxi understood half of it; But Yunliang was confused, and his face was full of confusion.

The eighth king looked at the different expressions of his children and shook his head, but secretly regretted that Zhao Xian gave birth to a daughter by mistake.

Thinking of this, the Eight Kings waved his hand and said, "It's not early, you can go back and rest by yourself." ”

Zhao Xian and the others hurriedly saluted and said goodbye and went back to their rooms.

The road was slippery in the rain, and the Yunxi brothers were not worried about this baby girl going back alone, so they ordered someone to carry a lamp in front of them to illuminate the road, and the two of them slowly walked back to the room while protecting Zhao Xian.

The promenade leading to the backyard walked to the end, and it was not far from the gate of the backyard, and there were many women living in the backyard.

The two of them were inconvenient to enter the backyard, so they took care of Ah Yan and said: "The road is slippery in the night rain, you take care of your master to go back to the room, don't let her fall." ”

Zhao Xian snorted out laughing and said, "Two brothers, my sister is not too young, don't take care of it anymore." He was smiling in his mouth, but he was still moved in his heart.

She joked again: "Brothers, go back early, I'm afraid that the sisters-in-law will be impatient to wait, and then they will blame the sister for not knowing the times and pulling her brother to catch up." ”

Yunxi's brother Ha Luha smiled, and after saying goodbye to Zhao Xian, they also walked to their residences.

Zhao Xian watched the two brothers leave, and still stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, until the elder brother's figure completely disappeared into the night, then looked up at the top of the corridor, and said softly: "Your Excellency has been lying on it for a long time, aren't you afraid of getting wet?" ”

The laughter of banter came, and a figure floated down from the sky and landed gently in front of Zhao Xian.

Ah Yan put his hand on his waist, wanting to pull the soft sword, this soft sword was found by Zhao Qiong at a high price, although it was not as good as the original one, but it was also extraordinary.

Zhao Xian pressed Ah Yan's hand, signaling her to be calm, and Ah Yan's hand paused.

Zhao Xian looked at the person in front of her, and then looked at the person's full dress, and couldn't help laughing.
