When the sergeant said this, Ah Xiu was a little relieved: since he recognized the beads of the silk fan and jewelry, he also changed his name to say that it was a robber, and his life should be safe for the time being, and the rest could be asked slowly. So Ah Xiu turned around and sat down on the chair, but Mu Ying said again: "Where are your accomplices?" Recruit truthfully! The sergeant shrank his head and said cautiously: "I have no fixed place with them, and now that I have been captured, how will they wait for me to lead someone to arrest me?" Adults! Mu Ying asked repeatedly, but she didn't see any suspicions, so she had to suppress it, made a confession, asked Ah Xiu, and prepared to go back to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ah Xiu and Mu Ying came out, took the previous car at the door, told the servant who was driving, and sent Mu Ying to the army. I thought about it on the way, asked Mu Ying, and learned that Xu Da and others had been in the army recently, so they entered the barracks together, met Zhu Yuanzhang, and returned to the case. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and also asked Mu Ying to be tried twice, and if the confession was correct, he would be convicted of the crime of theft and robbery. Ah Xiu was naturally relieved when he heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Ah Xiu to sit down for tea, and returned to the bookcase to review the military newspaper. After a while, Xu Datang and the two of them came in to talk about things, and gave Ah Xiu a salute, Ah Xiu wanted to avoid it, Zhu Yuanzhang left the two, called Ah Xiu, walked to her side and smiled gently, and said, "Sit down." It's easy to come under the big sun, sit more and then go. You may not have been in the army for a long time, but now Hui Lan has visited General Li more times in the army than you. Besides, I don't have so many evasions here, I was robbed yesterday, and now that you are here, I feel at ease when I look at you. ”

Ah Xiu smiled and nodded: "The concubine obeys the order, the prince will be busy with military affairs first, Xiangguo and the marshal are waiting." Zhu Yuanzhang answered, and Ah Xiu turned around and sat down. Xu Da and Tang He reported on military affairs and the restructuring of military law, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to them one by one, and after the decision was made, the two resigned. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang bury his head in reviewing other military newspapers, Ah Xiu looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and said: "The prince is very busy at this time, it is almost noon, can I go to the kitchen to make lunch for you?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and smiled when he heard this: "It's hard madam, just make something simple and palatable." Let the sergeant take you to the small kitchen, the big kitchen is too cluttered. Ah Xiu saluted and went to the kitchen.

The sergeant led the way, and Ah Xiu entered the kitchen, thought of the dishes, and instructed a few familiar people to go around to get the ingredients. After thinking about it, he walked out of the door and saw Xu Da's personal soldiers, a young man surnamed Zhao walking by, so he called him and asked him to inform Tang He and Xu Da to go to the prince's tent for lunch in a while. The sergeant here brought the materials, and Ah Xiu broke them away and let them return to their posts. I was preparing the ingredients in the same way, and sure enough, Xu Da came, and was about to speak, but Tang He also came.

Thinking that Tang He was not an outsider, it was more convenient for them to do this matter together, so he gave the two of them a blessing, and the two of them hurriedly saluted. Xu Da was the first to speak: "Why is the princess like this! If there is anything that needs us to serve, the two of us will definitely live up to our mission! Tang He also nodded yes, and Ah Xiu whispered to the two of them about the assassin and his own worries. If you don't listen, you can't listen, and when you hear it, the two look at each other, their faces full of surprise.

Ah Xiu did not shy away from taboos, and said respectfully and bluntly: "Yuanzhang is the prince, but also my husband, I will definitely give my life to help, but Wenzheng is also my righteous son and the prince's arm." Now it's just speculation, I don't want the two of them to be suspicious of each other, but it's not good to show their deeds to question. The two of them have been the prince's cronies for many years, and they also know the prince's temper, and now I am anxious, so I ask the two of them to help me weigh it! In the battle of Hongdu, Wen Zheng contributed a lot, and fought hard for nearly three months to protect the land of Hongdu, such a child should have no heart to rebel. But that pro-soldier, too, I recognize, now I really don't know what to do! Two of you, please! ”

Xu Da's face changed suddenly, and he asked with a pun on frightened words: "Madame should know that the destiny of heaven is difficult to disobey, and the world is unpredictable, why bother to bring it in, when the time comes, I don't say anything, I'm afraid it won't help, why bother?" People often say that providence makes people, who can guarantee what they want? Ah Xiu also pursed his lips and shook his head sadly: "I have no intention of going against the sky, there is really no evidence." It's really Wen Zheng's antipathy, the terrain of the house has long been familiar, and he was here a few days ago, how could he not know the terrain in the house, and he was busy revealing his tracks? I think there should be something hidden. ”

Tang He never spoke, and after thinking about it again and again, he spoke: "I agree with what Madame sees, if Zhu Dudu has the intention to assassinate the prince, there are many opportunities, and he will not make a mistake." After thinking about it, he felt that this assassin was a little suspicious. Why don't I borrow it with Xiangguo and go to the yamen to ask?! Xu Da listened to Tang He's words, thought about it carefully, and echoed: "Exactly, the princess will calm down for the time being, and wait for the two of us to find out the reason and ask." ”

After a pause, Xu Da seemed to be emboldened, and asked deeply: "But there is something that needs to be asked about the princess." If there is no rebellion, what should be done? If so, what if so? Please also ask the princess to show it. When Ah Xiu heard his question, he was also stunned, walked back and forth a few steps, and made up his mind: "Whether there is a rebellion or not, that sergeant's mouth must be sealed." If it is not reversed, it is naturally the best, and it is really reversed, and it has its own national law. Now that this matter has been told to the two of them, it is enough to ask the marshal to be safe and sound, and the others only want to have a clear conscience. ”

Looking at the sky, Ah Xiu said, "It's not early, what do you think about the two adults?" Xu Da and Tang He glanced at each other, discussed a few words, and Tang He said: "Then we will go now, it will change later, it is better to make a decision earlier." Ah Xiu nodded, instructed to go back quickly, and watched the two leave, if Su Xin was trying to change history by marrying Su Xin to Wen before, the result of this matter is likely to change history, but when he said the matter, he didn't feel the uncontrollable power, did it prove that what he did was acquiesced?

Ah Xiu thought about it for a long time and suddenly came back to his senses, remembering that he still had to make lunch, so he hurriedly sped up his movements, and after almost half an hour, he made eight dishes and one soup, called a few sergeants, packed the food box, and carried it to the front. Zhu Yuanzhang was still criticizing the official documents, and Ah Xiu was a little relieved, but fortunately he didn't notice it, otherwise he would be in a lot of trouble if he couldn't tell a lie. took out the food and put it on the table, and whispered to someone to call Mu Ying, Zhu Biao and Li Jie, and then whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Lord Wang, rest." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, smiled, put down his pen, stood up and stretched his muscles, and walked to the table. Watching Ah Xiu beat his arm, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, raised his hand to knead Ah Xiu, scared her to hide, and then reached out to pull her back and continued to knead: "I just said that I wanted to make some food simply, why did I get so much?" Ah Xiu smiled gratefully: "Didn't the prince say that it was rare for me to come once?" Besides, I ate a lot today, so I made a few more. I'm not tired, but I haven't done so much for a long time, and it's just a little sour. ”

"You, you're always so frank and kind to people, and you don't mean to be selfish and lazy, no wonder you've been getting thinner and thinner over the years. You don't want to look at those rich wives, if there is a little rich in the family, which one is not mellow and rich? Only I, the concubine in Zhu Yuanzhang's palace, are so thin. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said helplessly. Ah Xiu pressed Zhu Yuanzhang's hand to massage him, looked directly into his eyes and said seriously: "The heart of the prince, how can Ah Xiu not understand, Ah Xiu's heart, the prince also understands, I just feel sorry for my family, I only have my father-in-law and you in the first half of my life, and I am naturally busy in the second half of my life, but I am happy in it." ”

hugged Ah Xiu gently in his arms: "What is the joy of it, I just know that you are working hard now." When I was wounded by an arrow a few years ago, the doctor said that I had injured my vitality and that I should have a good life. At that time, I saw that your face was getting paler and paler day by day, if it weren't for your insistence, I wouldn't even want you to eat this weekday, why do you want me to feel distressed? After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Ah Xiu looked at his face and was distracted: this gentle and disgusting tone was so gentle and considerate, although it was a bit domineering, but it was not at all as vigorous and resolute as outsiders saw, like a new good man in the future. The heart is beautiful.

The two were sweet, remembering the footsteps at the door, Ah Xiu bounced away, blushing and heartbeat, and lowered his head to pick up the dishes, chopsticks and spoons. Biao'er ran in first, greeted Zhu Yuanzhang, and plunged into Ah Xiu's arms: "Wang Niang, Biao'er learned archery today!" After speaking, he sniffed his nose, "It's so fragrant!" Mother's cooking? Peeked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then at Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu nodded with a smile, and blocked Zhu Biao with his body, Zhu Biao picked up his chopsticks and secretly stuffed a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin into his mouth. Mu Ying and Li Jie then came in and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang, and none of them noticed the small movements of the mother and son.

Zhu Biao ran for a day, his stomach was hungry, and Ah Xiu blocked him, chewed and swallowed it, but it was not enjoyable, so he simply put another piece into his mouth, but unfortunately he heard Zhu Yuanzhang calling him, his mouth was full, and it was not easy to reply, so he had to cover his mouth and walk to Zhu Yuanzhang's side. Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, knowing that he had eaten it secretly, looked at Ah Xiu, looked at Zhu Biao again, and just wanted to scold, but Ah Xiu came over and covered Zhu Biao behind him, and said with a slight smile: "The prince has something to ask later, Biao'er came to the army for the first time, followed Ying'er for a long time, and just took a sip of water, and the prince called him, he came out in a hurry, isn't it pitiful to choke?" I'll ask later. Saying that, waving his hand secretly, Zhu Yuanzhang understood, knowing that Ah Xiu loved the child, there were outsiders, and Ah Xiu also covered up the child's rudeness, so it was not easy to investigate deeply.

Zhu Biao heard that Ah Xiu covered up for himself, and his father did not pursue it, knowing that this was a relief, he hurriedly swallowed, took out the handkerchief in his sleeve to wipe his mouth, and respectfully walked to the side and stood aside.

Two more walked in outside, and Ah Xiu raised his eyes to see, it turned out to be Xu Da and Tang He back.
