Three months later

Xia family

"The things you want me to do for you have been done, when you are free, go over and see them, so that they can know who the master they want to honor in the future is."

Murong Ye pushed the door in, raised his eyes and looked at the woman with a attentive face next to the desk, a trace of pampering flashed on his handsome face, walked to the table, got a glass of water, walked to the desk and handed it to her

"What are you drawing?"

Xia Chan still didn't look up, and quickly scribbled on the paper with both hands, looking stern and serious. Murong Ye didn't bother her when he saw this, walked to the side and sat down, picked up a book and read it.

In Xialiang Village at the end of April, there was a little warmth in the cool breeze, not the heat of summer but a refreshing feeling, Murong Ye raised his arm, pushed open the window, and got up to stand in front of the window. This is still the original Xia family, but it is no longer the original Xia family. Things are people, and they should be his feelings now.

is also like the woman in front of him, obviously she is still the same as before, but now he can no longer find the original feeling in her. Sometimes, he was sitting in front of him, but he felt that the two were far apart. It was so far away that he couldn't guess her heart.

Three months ago, after Xiao Dalang left, he once pulled the Xia family once, when she sat quietly in front of the window, without saying a word, until finally when he left, she opened her mouth and begged him to help her with her errands. But that's how he's happy. No one knew how sad and powerless he was when he saw her like that.

Now that three months have passed, she has slowly come out of the pain, and occasionally he will joke with him when he comes, and when he is happy, he will laugh regardless of his image, and when he is unhappy, he will grab something and throw it at him. Whenever this happens, he actually has a kind of cheap heart. I think she is so real, how cute, how ... Beautiful.

I really hope that time is a good medicine, and when she can forget the pain, she can also carry that person to forget about it. Although it is a bit selfish to think so, the more I stay by her side, the more I don't want to leave. There used to be people around her. She is a veritable married woman. Even if he thought about it, he couldn't cross the eyes of the world, and now, she was free, and he didn't care if she was married. He always thought that this was a chance given to him by God. So, he tried very hard to catch it.

"You can just look at that thing, I've been busy with the renovation of the restaurant recently, so I shouldn't have much time. Well, wait until the restaurant opens. How about I make sure I make some time to meet them? Xia Chan put down the brush, turned his head and smiled at Murong Ye

"It's okay, I've already arranged for Long Qi to be in charge of the matter over there, and you can also go directly to him if you have anything in the future."

"Ryuqi?" Xia Chan thought hard for a long time before remembering the Long Qi that Murong Ye said. is the arrogant guard who screamed when the Xia family was robbed, but isn't he Zhao Qi's person? When did you become Murong Ye's person? Xia Chan looked at Murong Ye with a puzzled expression. Seeing this, Murong Ye said, "Long Qi is indeed Zhao Qi's person, and he is Zhao Qi's eyeliner left in Qingyang County. ”

Eyeliner? Zhao Qi: Who is this going to spy on? Xia Chan's face instantly filled with solemnity, and his eyes looking at Murong Ye were a little more dissatisfied

"Does Zhao Qi already know about that matter?" Even so. But Xia Chan knows in his heart that the result is not far from ten. Thinking of this, his face darkened a little, and he looked at Murong Ye's eyes without scruples, cold and always alienated.

Seeing this, Murong Ye secretly screamed in his heart. I just said it the fastest. With her cleverness, how could she not guess the bend in it. No matter how he answered, she would be suspicious of him. But......

"Yes, and that thing was done so smoothly thanks to him, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to agree to you so happily......." Murong Ye didn't finish speaking. Xia Chan got up and interrupted Murong Ye's next words. looked at him and said coldly

"Then you can take me to thank him for his kindness, it's not too early today, so you should go back early." After saying that, he turned around and returned to his desk, picked up the brush and continued to work on the paper.

Murong Ye stood in place. looked at her back for a long time, and finally saw that the time was indeed not early, so he got up and left the Xia family.

got into the carriage, and Tudou sat outside to catch the car, still feeling upset about his son-in-law because of what he had just done. Sister Xia has been really late, and every time the son goes to see her happily. But what did she repay her son. The son who was not angry that time was angry, and she was unwilling that time. He is now afraid to come to the Xia family.

Tudou sat in the carriage and drove the carriage, secretly praying in his heart that Gongzi would wait and not be angry with him. Murong Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, was also in an extremely bad mood at this time. This damn woman, he's done so much, she not only thanked him without saying anything, but she couldn't wait for him to finish her sentence and couldn't wait to get him out. She had known him for so long, was he the kind of person who betrayed his friends? She just didn't believe him.

The more Murong Ye thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he simply fell asleep on the soft couch next to him.

Outside the window, the sky slowly darkened, and the light inside the room also dimmed. Xia Cicada got up and brought the candlestick over and lit the candles, but sat at the desk but didn't take the pen again. Looking up at the window and staring out into the night, I was in a daze. Today's Xia family, only she and Dabao are left, usually Dabao lives in the school, occasionally comes back from vacation for two days, and the rest of the time she is alone at home, at the beginning, she was still a little unaccustomed, and slowly she liked this feeling. Quiet, cozy, without a single qiē uneasy.

Three months ago, before Zhao Qi left, she left the words of the six major families in the capital, and in these three months, she asked Murong Ye to collect all the information of the six major families for her. On the surface, out of the Zhao family, the other five families are suspicious, and from those materials, Xia Chan also understood the concerns of Zhao Qi and the three of them at the beginning, and the gap between her and those families is simply worlds apart. But even so, she never gave up revenge. She believes that one day, she will definitely fight her enemies for this family.

So, she began to try to change her mind, and now she slowly began to try the things she didn't disdain before, and she was slowly trying to accept the things that she couldn't accept before. The first thing that came to her mind was the dead. In ancient times, all wealthy families would train a group of dead soldiers loyal to them to protect their own safety. Having experienced several lives and deaths, she knows the pros and cons. Therefore, three months ago, she asked Murong Ye to help him find someone and a venue. The other is financial resources. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, whether in ancient times or in modern times, the power of money is infinite.

At the time of Xiao Dalang's departure. She thought about it, it was best not to see each other again, no longer contact. Slowly bury the past in the hourglass of time. But she didn't expect that Murong Ye would tell Zhao Qi of her whereabouts. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi left someone to monitor her every move.

For Zhao Qi, I hate to avoid appreciation. She admitted that Zhao Qi is very methodical and can be literary and martial. It is a rare talent in the officialdom. But she is different from them, the people around her are simple villagers, and she is used to their simplicity. For Zhao Qi's disdain, it was unfathomable, and she felt laborious and tired.

Capital

Two months have passed since the news of the eldest prince's return to Beijing, and many things have happened in the capital in these two months, the most gratifying of which is that the queen mother, who has been poisoned and unconscious for many days, and the imperial doctors of the entire palace are helpless, miraculously woke up on the second day of the eldest prince's return to the palace. The emperor, who has been ill for many years, has also been in a good mood for several days. The most exciting thing is the lifting of the ban on the protector of the country. The Protector had one-third of Jingguo's troops, and when he heard that the Protector was going to rebel, the people in the capital were panicked for a while. Fortunately, the emperor issued a holy decree to encircle the entire protector of the country and appease the people in the capital. And the return of the eldest prince to the palace also brought evidence that the protector of the country was wronged, and for a while, the atmosphere of the entire capital and even the entire Jingguo was much more relaxed.

The people praised this great prince who had been left in the people for many years as the reincarnation of the gods in heaven, and now he was reincarnated in the emperor's family for the benefit of the people. As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince who had just returned to the palace was pushed into people's field of vision. The voice was also instantly higher than that of the three princes, who had always won the hearts of the people.

This move can be described as a few joys and a few worries. The protector of the country can be described as jubilant. And the third prince and even the entire Wen family were lifeless. Even the rough maid who cleans is more eye-catching than usual.

"Yuan'er, what can I do now, you didn't see Zhao Qi's face in the court today. Today's shape is very unfavorable to us, if the things of the past are found out by them again. I'm afraid that if the three princes can't keep it, our entire Wen family will be implicated. "How good things have become like this, when they were obviously in control, why did they go back to the capital, and they made such a big fanfare. I thought that the Zhao family would definitely not turn over this time. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Qi's kid returned to Beijing, he presented the so-called evidence to the emperor. The Zhao family was pardoned. Their plans were put on hold, and overnight, the queen was cured, and the emperor's illness was cured again. For a while, the limelight of the eldest prince, who originally had no sense of zài, overshadowed the third prince.

Wen Zhongyuan's face was solemn, the hand holding the teacup was secretly forced, and his eyes flashed slightly. looked at the door of the hall and said, "Dad, at this time, let's wait and see what happens, lest we mess up and let others catch the horse's feet, and then the gains outweigh the losses." "According to the shape of the capital, doing nothing now is the best response.

But for Wen Zhongyuan's words, Wen Jian disagreed, "Wait again, I've heard this sentence for almost twenty years, how many more years do you want me to wait." No, as planned, the eldest prince has just returned to Beijing now, and his foundation is still shallow, if we don't take advantage of this and try our best, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future. ”

"Dad, what do you think is that, that's the throne that people all over the world are vying for, you can't wait for twenty years, and those who have planned for a lifetime have no chance." Wen Zhongyuan's voice was much higher than just now, and he looked at Wen Jian a few times with a solemn face, it seems that his father is really old, and he sees that position too simply. I also thought that person was too simple. No one knows what is going on in the palace now. Two months ago, after the eldest prince returned to the palace, the informants he placed in the palace had accidents one after another. He didn't believe it could be so coincidental, and besides, it would be so continuous. Therefore, he concluded that the man was not as simple as he thought. "Dad, don't worry, the child won't let you wait too long, please be more patient, now is an important moment for the third prince, and there is no way out. Let's be careful. ”

Protector of the country

"Qi'er, how is it. Is there an eyebrow on the matter? "It's been so long since the kidnapping more than a decade ago, and so many people they have sent out have found nothing in the past ten years, and now it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find clues in just a few months. But despite this, Zhao Weiyan still supported Zhao Qi to re-investigate the old case. Now the eldest prince has returned to the palace, but the kidnapping case has always hung in everyone's hearts, and if the murderer cannot be found, everyone will be worried. At the same time, Zhao Qi wanted to find out that person and repay Xiao Dalang for the suffering of more than ten years of separation.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhao Qi raised his head, saw that it was Zhao Weiyan, got up and saluted him

"No, the palace maids and eunuchs in Yunxi Palace who took care of the eldest prince more than ten years ago are now dead, and those who leave the palace can't find anything at all. arrived at Qingyang County and found a poison dart in the grave of Gonggong Qu. I'd like to follow this clue. In addition, I have already asked the eldest prince for the imperial doctor, and I hope that the eldest prince can remember the events of more than ten years ago. In this way, it couldn't be better. ”

"What you said is very reasonable, but Dad also wants to remind you, I'm afraid this matter will not be so smooth, after all, those people have buried this matter for more than ten years, and this will, seeing that the big thing is about to happen, will not let you find out the evidence." The emperor's body is not as good as day by day, and no one knows how long it can last, seeing that several princes are about to move, what they have to do now is to buy more time for the eldest prince.

Zhao Qi knew the worry in Zhao Weiyan's heart, was silent for a while, and asked out loud, "Then what does Dad think is the best thing to do at this time?" ”

"It's a two-pronged approach." Zhao Weiyan smiled, turned around and left the study after speaking. In the end, it is his son, who is smart and strategic, and he can understand it at one point.

I believe he has understood that revenge is important, but it is even more important to achieve great things. Revenge can be achieved after a big thing, but if the enemy is put in that position, it is one thing for them not to say that revenge is life or not.

Zhao Qi looked at Zhao Weiyan's back and thought for a long time, and finally had to admire, Jiang was still old and spicy. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted at the guards outside the door

"Prepare the carriage and enter the palace immediately." Now the situation in the capital is a race against time. Now that he has found him and brought him closer to this great dye vat, he will not leave him alone. What's more, the entire Zhao family will rely on him to revitalize the family in the near future. So, in fact, they are mutually beneficial.
