Inside the Exquisite Pavilion

"Sister Huang, you sent someone to tell me yesterday that there is a serious matter to discuss, but what is it, what is this?" Seeing Xia Xin, a trace of doubt flashed in Chu Xiuxiu's eyes.

"Don't you always think that Feng Lan and I show affection in front of you?" Chu Yunxi hooked her lips and became evil, "No, I found a personable son, do you like it?" ”

Chu Xiuxiu's face sank suddenly: "Sister Huang, the person I like will find it myself." ”

"Xiuxiu, Xi is joking with you, this is my second brother, and Xi is here to talk about business." Xia Fenglan stretched out her elbow, stabbed Chu Yunxi, and said, "I told you not to joke about this kind of thing, Xiuxiu will be angry no matter how good her temper is." ”

Chu Yunxi touched his chin, and a trace of deep meaning flashed in his eyes. It's not the first time she has made fun of Chu Xiuxiu, Chu Xiuxiu's reaction this time is really too big. made her have to wonder what Xiuxiu met in the Qin State.

"I've seen the second princess." Xia Xin bowed his head and saluted, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. I opened my mouth to say something, but in the end I didn't say it.

Chu Xiuxiu nodded and led a few people to their seats.

There was a pot of walnuts on the table, Xia Fenglan had nothing to do, holding a small hammer, tapping the walnuts, and feeding a few to Chu Yunxi from time to time.

"Sister Huang, if there is something big to say, if you play tricks on me again, I will let people blow you out." Chu Xiuxiu said.

"Xiuxiu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are bold." Chu Yunxi tapped Chu Xiuxiu's forehead and said, "Is the matter of your mother's concubine a big deal?" ”

Speaking of Concubine Rou's affairs, Chu Xiuxiu's expression was also stern.

"Xiuxiu, do you remember why your mother was convicted back then?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"How could I forget." Chu Xiuxiu said, a touch of sadness appeared in her eyes, "The Liu family collaborated with the enemy and treason, and they were beheaded all over the house." In order to save her, the mother committed suicide in the palace.

"Xiuxiu, the day before yesterday, someone sued me and sued me that the Liu family was framed back then." Chu Yunxi said with a stern look on his face.

"Who is it?" Chu Xiuxiu asked.

Chu Yunxi pointed at Xia Xin: "If my expectations are correct, this person should be your cousin." ”

Chu Xiuxiu was stunned, looked Xia Xin up and down, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she was indeed somewhat similar to her mother.

"My mother, whose name is Liu Qin, is the daughter of the Liu family and the sister of Concubine Rou." Xia Xin said.

"The daughter of the Liu family?" Chu Yunxi frowned and asked, "With the prosperity of the Liu family back then, why did the daughter of the Liu family be a side room?" ”

"Sister Huang, you don't know anything about this." Chu Xiuxiu said, "My aunt once went to dress up as a man and went to Jiangnan to play. As a result, after coming back, somehow, he insisted on marrying a petty official, or being a side room. In a fit of rage, her grandfather cut off relations with her. It was also because of this that the Liu family was beheaded all over the house, and the aunt escaped. ”

"My mother has a stubborn temper." A trace of helplessness flashed in Xia Xin's eyes, "For so many years, I haven't been in contact with my grandfather." ”

"How is Auntie now?" Chu Xiuxiu asked.

Xia Xin shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "After hearing about the Liu family, I couldn't afford to get sick and passed away early. ”

Chu Xiuxiu was also silent for a long time, feeling that the Liu family was really sad.

"Your father's peach blossom luck is really extraordinary, good women put it on one after another." When Chu Yunxi heard this, he glanced down at Xia Fenglan and said. She really couldn't see anything good about Xia Pingwen.

Xia Fenglan didn't speak, her life with her mother in Xia Mansion was actually not very satisfactory, she didn't have deep feelings for this father, but her mother seemed to have a different kind of persistence.

"My mother's vision is not good, but you have a good vision, and you have picked a good husband like me." Chu Yunxi hooked her lips and said.

Xia Fenglan blushed her cheeks, being able to marry Chu Yunxi was indeed the luckiest thing in her life.

"Sister Huang, do you think the Liu family is really wronged?" Chu Xiuxiu looked at Chu Yunxi with a hint of hope in her eyes. She didn't want the Liu family to be wronged, but a number of facts were in front of her, so she had to give in.

"I looked at the scroll archives for a whole day yesterday." Chu Yunxi said, "Indeed, the evidence is conclusive and reasonable, and there is no flaw in it." ”

A gloom appeared in Chu Xiuxiu's eyes.

"However, it was because it was so reasonable that I felt that something was wrong." Chu Yunxi said, "All the evidence is too perfect, like a well-designed bureau. ”

"Sister Huang, you ...... What evidence have you found? Chu Xiuxiu asked.

Chu Yunxi shook his head and looked at Xia Xin: "Since you asked this king to overturn the case, you must have found something crucial." ”

Xia Xin sank his eyes, took out a small box on his body, put it on the table, and slowly opened it, inside was a bunch of broken weapons.

Chu Yunxi wanted to reach out and pick up the weapon, but was stopped by Xia Fenglan.

Xia Fenglan looked at Chu Yunxi with a disapproving face: "Do you want to cut off your fingers?" "Even if it's a broken soldier, it's a sharp weapon!

Xia Fenglan reminded her, and Chu Yunxi realized that she was indeed reckless.

"Here you go, use this." Xia Fenglan said, handing the small hammer in her hand to Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi took a small hammer and hammered the weapon a few times.

"Wait, Imperial Sister." Chu Xiuxiu had a calm face, took the small hammer from Chu Yunxi's hand, and slammed the weapon hard.

With a "clang", the weapon that should have been extremely hard actually broke apart.

"In the past few days, I have helped the imperial sister Zhang Luo in the weapons business, and I have a little understanding of weapons." Chu Xiuxiu said, "These weapons, the sound is wrong, too crisp. ”

A stern look appeared on Chu Yunxi's face: "Where did these weapons come from?" ”

"This is the night before the accident in the General's Mansion, the general ordered someone to send it." Xia Xin said, "It's just that as soon as my mother heard that something happened to the General's Mansion, she couldn't afford to be sick, so the things stayed with me all the time." ”

"This king once heard that the victorious general Zhongwu General has only been defeated once in his life, and the defeat is like a mountain." Chu Yunxi said, a solemnity appeared in his eyes.

"My grandfather has half of the Luo blood." Xia Xin said slowly, "Therefore, if he is unnaturally defeated in the war against Luo Guo, others will only think that he is facing Luo Guo because of the blood in his body." ”

"Could it be that these broken soldiers were collected from the battlefield?" Xia Fenglan looked at these weapons and said, "Could it be that General Zhongwu is using such weapons on the battlefield!" "How can this weapon win!

"I think it's very likely." Xia Xin nodded and said.

"Since you already knew about this, why didn't you report it to your father earlier?" Chu Xiuxiu became excited all of a sudden, if it was exposed when the Liu family was convicted, her mother would not end up with hatred!

"Why wouldn't I?" A trace of pain flashed in Xia Xin's eyes, "But, at that time, I couldn't see the emperor at all." What's more, even if you see the emperor, what can you do, with these broken weapons, what can you say? Grandfather may not have told the emperor, but he still ended up like this. ”

"I'm sorry, I was reckless." Chu Xiuxiu calmed down and said.

"I understand you." Xia Xin said.

"With these weapons, this case is not difficult to say." Chu Yunxi tapped his index finger on the table and said, "As long as you find the person who bought the weapons back then and ask them, you will know." ”

"I know who it is." Xia Xin said, handing Chu Yunxi a piece of jade pendant, the corner of the jade pendant is engraved with the word "Wei", "Grandfather gave my mother two things back then, one of which is this thing." I inquired that back then, Wei Guogong was just a small general attached to his grandfather. Grandfather was convicted, most of these people were robbed of their official positions because of joint sitting, and only Wei Guogong became the Duke of Guo in one fell swoop. ”

"In this way, this king also thought of an interesting thing." Chu Yunxi played with the jade pendant in his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile, "Wei Guogong's beloved daughter, Wei Ning'er, will marry Xiao Qi as his wife in two days." With Wei Guogong's mercenary nature, how could he marry his daughter to a person with no future? ”

"Xi thinks that Xiao Qi has taken the handle of Wei Guogong?" Xia Fenglan thought for a moment and asked.

"It's worthy of Feng Lan, always so keen." Chu Yunxi nodded and said, "The matter of weapons has always been handled by the Criminal Department. Xiao Yuan has been in the Criminal Department for many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that he has not seen the account book of Wei Guogong's purchase of weapons. It is not impossible to threaten Wei Guogong with this. ”

"Sister Huang, what are you going to do next?" Ever since she heard about Concubine Rou, Chu Xiuxiu has been in a low state.

"Taking advantage of Wei Ning'er's wedding, I will go to Wei Guogong and Xiao Qi to find out." Chu Yunxi hooked her lips, not to mention anything else, she still has some means to deal with Xiao Qi.

"I'm going to trouble the imperial sister for the time being." Chu Xiuxiu said, "If the Liu family can overturn the case, I won't let go of any of those people back then!" As he spoke, a trace of ruthlessness appeared in Chu Xiuxiu's eyes.

"It's not too early, so I'll go first." After glancing at the sky, Chu Yunxi stood up and said to Xia Xin, "You stay a little longer and talk to Xiuxiu." ”

Xia Xin nodded, he also meant this.

"Jin Ci, after I go back, spread a message for this king." On the way back, Chu Yunxi instructed Jin Ci, "Let's just say that in the past two days, this king has become more and more angry, and he often tosses people. ”

"Why would Your Highness spread a message that is not good for you?" A trace of doubt appeared in Jinci's eyes.

"Your Royal Highness, I want to express my lovesickness to someone." Xia Fenglan pursed her lips, and there was a sour taste between her words.

"What a big smell of vinegar." Chu Yunxi chuckled lightly and hugged Xia Fenglan, "My thoughts, don't you know yet?" ”

"Of course I do." Xia Fenglan leaned on Chu Yunxi's arms, "It's just that I can't help it......

Chu Yunxi smiled and kissed the corner of Xia Fenglan's lips, with tenderness in her eyes: "The more you can't help it, it means that the more you care about me." Feng Lan, you can't help it, I like it very much. ”
