Xia Chuqi's request came very suddenly.

After saying it lightly, her watery eyes stared straight at Zhao Zhu.

She knew in her heart that it was estimated that everyone in the audience thought that she Chu Qi was crazy, if Zhao Bottle lent someone to her, but it did not achieve the effect she expected, it would not only be her Chu Qi whose reputation would be damaged, but even Zhao Bottle would be pressed by Dongfang Qingxuan, accusing him of conniving and covering up, and disrespecting the dead.

Therefore, for this kind of thing that may ignite herself against the wind, she is not sure if Zhao Tuo will help her.

However.

Zhao Jun just looked at it quietly, didn't ask anything, and ordered lightly and coldly.

"Chen Jing, give Chu Qi a few people."

As soon as the word "yes" in Chen Jing's mouth came out, Zhao Zhu's cold lips pursed slightly, paused, and looked at Xia Chuqi calmly, and said lightly, "Just do your best." ”

Just do your best.

Anyone can hear these four words.

It doesn't just contain Zhao Zhu's trust in Xia Chuqi.

Moreover, it also contains two other meanings.

First, even if she Chu Qi didn't do anything, even if it turned out that she Chu Qi was just talking and gossiping nonsense, Zhao Tuo would solve her worries.

Second, he Zhao Zhu did the master of this matter, he said how Yingge died, and how to read the "novel" ybdu in the 'one' book, he said that he couldn't be pursued again, so he couldn't be pursued again. She doesn't need to consider any other factors to do this, and she can do it boldly.

My heart pounded and skipped a beat. Messy.

After making eye contact with Zhao Zhu, Xia Chuqi hurriedly moved away.

She was afraid that she would no longer be able to do things normally.

It's a weird state of mind.

In the past, she could stare at him with big eyes and demean and belittle, and even tease him at will, no matter how bad she was, she didn't care if she was muddy, she was such a person, she could be shameless and unscrupulous, she didn't need to care about what she was like in front of him, and she also needed to think about how he would look at her.

But since she hugged the warm fox fur in the cold river water last night, she knew that something had changed. But she couldn't accurately grasp that emotion. When I saw Zhao Zhu, I saw that he also had a pair of red eyes, and he couldn't have a normal heart anymore, and there was no place on his body without that hot energy.

Under Chen Jing's arrangement, a few soldiers in armor walked in outside, bowed their knees to several masters present, and then stood up with a straight posture and were sent by Xia Chuqi.

At this time, he had already gathered his mind, Xia Chuqi was carefully inspecting Yingge's body, a pair of slender brows were furrowed, his face was serious, but his emotions were difficult to argue.

In a moment, Dongfang Qingxuan's slightly soft laughter came from behind.

"Chu Xiaolang's tricks, this seat looks fresh and tight, I don't know how sure it is?"

Treating Dongfang Qingxuan, Xia Chuqi is far from treating Zhao Zhu's temperament.

Hearing this, she turned her head and smiled without smiling, "How sure is Lord Dongfang, every time he, he does it?" ”

This sentence is really too rough, especially when it is said in public, it is even more insulting. But those who are familiar with Xia Chuqi know that this is already the time to give more face, or if you don't give face, there may be many bad words on the tip of your tongue.

Sure enough, the handsome and incomparable Lord Dongfang was choked by her again.

However, I don't know if he is too good at cultivation, or if he is really confident, he only narrowed a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, but he didn't care about her at all, and looked at her with a fairy smile.

"I just want to remind you that if you destroy the body because of what you do, it will affect the verdict of the case. This seat will let you sit in one seat. ”

Lianzai, there is still such a saying?

At this moment, Xia Chuqi felt that this Dongfang Qingxuan was simply a scum, and she obviously didn't want her to have a good time. I lost a face that was loved by everyone and bloomed.

In fact, she had only checked it before, and the Yingge was suffocated by someone who covered her mouth and nose, but it was obviously not long after she lost her breath, and she didn't know if the fool was the first scene in this room, but her body was still warm when she touched her. And she has an acute rescue method for the suffocating dead, especially some suffocated people are only in a state of suspended animation at the beginning, and the kind of examples that are rescued in modern medicine are also common.

But at present, the medical conditions are limited, and she can only give it a try, where can she guarantee it?

She didn't say anything, but Zhao Zhu spoke coldly.

"According to the meaning of Lord Dongfang, this king is also going to be seated?"

He has a lazy look and a cold temperament, and he really can't tell how arrogant he is.

Dongfang Qingxuan only smiled, "Your Highness has a noble status, so you don't have to. ”

Xia Chuqi took a deep breath, knowing that she had to "race against time" at this time, and there was no time for her to quarrel with Dongfang Qingxuan, restraining the sense of impact brought to her by Zhao Zhu's maintenance everywhere, and under the slightly mocking gentle smile of the Dongfang Great Demon, she calmly commanded several soldiers called by Chen Jing.

Pointing to one of them, she said, "You go find two pens first." ”

The man replied and left, Xia Chuqi didn't explain to others at this time, and pointed to another person, "Put her body flat, you go up, step on her shoulders on both sides, and then pull her hair with your hands, and tighten her person, don't use too much force." ”

Zhao Jun stared at her with slightly squinted eyes, and his gaze was also complicated and unpredictable.

Xia Chuqi couldn't see that much at this time, and commanded another person, "You twist her throat and rub it slowly on her chest with your hand, all the while. ”

"And this little brother, you are responsible for rubbing her arms, and then, slowly, bending her feet."

Waiting for all this to be arranged, she squatted down, put her hand on Yingge's lower abdomen, pressed slowly, and mastered the rhythm of breathing one by one.

At this time, the man with the pen tube returned.

Xia Chuqi turned his head and ordered, "You two, one person on one side, use the pen pipe close to her ear and blow hard into it." ”

She treated a corpse like this, and everyone on the lookers was surprised.

Such a strange behavior, not to mention seeing it, can be said to be unheard of.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on her busy people.

It's a pity that after a long time, the corpse is still a corpse, and there is no improvement at all.

With a light snort, Dongfang Qingxuan's voice like a fox demon came over at the right time, "It seems that Chu Xiaolang has no way to let the corpse speak." Playing tricks like this and insulting the deceased, wouldn't it be just to avenge that Yingge wanted to hook up with His Royal Highness King Jin? Are you not confident in yourself? Or is it a distrust of His Highness? ”

At the beginning of summer, Qi's heart was also a little anxious.

But she thinks she is a person who can pretend to be forced, and when she shouldn't be soft, she will definitely not be soft.

A pair of hands alternately rubbed slowly on Yingge's lower abdomen according to the first aid measures, and he didn't forget to choke the oriental demon back on his mouth, "My relationship with my grandfather is naturally good." And the song of the warbler? If I have the heart to take revenge, I don't have to save her, you should be as stupid as you are for everyone else? ”

What kind of majestic figure was the Governor of the East?

Not to mention ordinary servants, even princes and ministers and ordinary princes and grandsons have never been so presumptuous in front of him.

Hearing this, many people are feeling cold in their hearts.

Anyone who knows knows that Xia Chuqi is such a temper.

Those who don't know will naturally only guess that it is because Zhao Bottle supports her.

Dongfang Qingxuan is still as enchanting as water as always, and he got such a comment with the word "stupid", but he laughed, and the beautiful sound was more pleasant than the mountain spring entering the stream.

"I hope the relationship between Chu Xiaolang and His Royal Highness ...... It's that good. ”

His heart burst out, and Xia Chuqi had spoken wildly before, and he didn't look at Zhao Zhu's expression. But the various lines of sight coming from her back at this time can make her clearly know that in other people's eyes, she and Zhao Zhu are completely typical flowers inserted in cow dung.

Of course, she was the pile of cow dung on the seventh day of the first summer month.

The little face flushed, she rarely went to choke the Oriental demon this time. Only a calm voice continued her rescue work, "You, don't stop your hands." ”

"Yes."

"You go on, push harder."

"Yes."

"You pulled her hair tight, and she couldn't let it go."

"Yes."

Although the soldiers didn't understand the meaning of doing this at all, they still did it step by step according to Xia Chuqi's command. And her expression is always calm, serious, and it is also a completely working expression, which can only be seen on the operating table in a previous life. Of course, no one in the room had ever seen her at this time......

Time flies slowly.

The eyes of the crowd changed from curiosity at the beginning to profound ridicule.

Although Zhao Zhu didn't say anything because of Zhao Zhu's presence, he knew it in his heart.

Raising the dead? Letting a dead man speak is simply a fool's dream.

There was a faint cold sweat on his forehead, and Xia Chuqi became more and more uncertain.

If according to modern medical technology, it is really possible to relieve people who are on the verge of death or fake death, but now in ancient times, Yingge is not necessarily fake death, and the first aid method she uses is also a fusion of some modern treatment concepts in the ancient, what will the result be, where does she dare to judge?

Just do your best.

Zhao Zhu's previous four words entered his ears again.

She inadvertently turned her head sideways and met Zhao Zhu, who was sitting a few steps away.

With just one hit, she took it back.

It seems that all of a sudden, the consciousness of this treatment has become not entirely for the sake of fools.

She found ...... If it really doesn't work, he really loses Zhao Zhu's trust.

"Continue ......"

"Come ...... again"

With the command of the seventh day of the beginning of the summer, someone began to sigh lowly.

Time flies too slowly.

Everyone was waiting for a result, or rather waiting for when she would stand up and declare defeat. But no one thought that after about two meals, I saw that Yingge, who would not move anymore, suddenly choked in his throat.

"Let go, let her go." Xia Chuqi relieved himself and ordered softly.

Slowly, Yingge opened her eyes.

"...... Uproar"

"This Chu Xiaolang is really capable."

"The dead are alive!"

In this era, it is not too much to describe this kind of rescue with the two magical words "resurrection". In the incredible exclamations of everyone, Xia Chuqi let out a long sigh, his heart was pounding, and he looked at Zhao Zhu for the first time.

He also looked over quietly.

I don't know, whose heart beats faster.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhao Jun asked in a cool voice, "Yingge, you are honest, why did you come to the fool's house?" ”

The Yingge's face was white, and she looked at the situation in the room, and she almost couldn't come back to her senses. After Zhao Zhu asked again, she seemed to remember something, her lips trembled violently a few times, and she weakly pointed her pale hand at the fool who didn't dare to raise her head.

"He ......"

As soon as a word came out, her eyes suddenly widened again, her mouth was as weak as a puppy, a mouthful of blood spurted out of the corner of her lips, a pair of eyes opened widely, her body trembled, her hands and feet struggled and kicked a few times, her head was tilted, and she died again.

"Yingge!"

Xia Chuqi quickly pinched her human acupoint with one hand, and put one finger on her vein. But at this time, her heart was gone, no matter how she rescued it, it was useless, and Zhenzhen died properly.

Such a result shocked Xia Chuqi.

Obviously, Yingge was not only suffocated to death, but also poisoned before suffocation. But why did someone poison her and smothered her? Is it suffocated or poisoned first? Are the people who want to poison her and the people who want to suffocate her the same person, or are they two different people?

One question after another arises in my mind.

But she is not a forensic doctor unless an autopsy is performed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to accurately determine the real cause of Yingge's death.

This situation is full of twists and turns.

The onlookers were agitated, but no one dared to say anything.

After all, there are a few masters on the field, who dares to trank?

"The dead man spoke." Dongfang Qingxuan smiled very charmingly and beautifully, "But the dead man once again pointed to the murderer." His Royal Highness the King of Jin, according to this seat, there is no need to try again, right? Come on, take down that idiot. ”

"What is Lord Dongfang anxious about?"

Zhao Zhu, who had been sitting lazily on the side, had dark eyes that sank slightly, dusted off the cuffs of his black robe with a calm face, did not look at others, just looked at Xia Chuqi, and asked slowly.

"How did you die?"

"It's hard to be prepared to judge, unless it's autopsied." The seventh day of the summer year tells the truth.

The word anatomy sounded fresh to people at the time. After Xia Chuqi carefully explained again, the so-called autopsy is to dissect the corpse for further examination, and many people gasped.

The ancients were afraid of death without a whole body, and they also followed the concept that the dead are greater.

Although this Yingge is just a maidservant, no one agrees with such a move.

Looking at her eyes that were about to ooze water, Zhao Zhu's eyes were cold, and very suddenly, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhao Xi, the king of Ning, who had never opened his mouth.

"Third brother, what do you think? Is it for my brother's family affairs, or should it be supervised by Jinyiwei? ”

Under his cold gaze, Zhao Xi hesitated, a pair of eyes moved away, and he glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan again, and after hiding that amazing look again, he said with a smile, "Nineteenth brother, for the sake of a slave, it is really unnecessary. ”

When he said this "slave", he naturally did not refer to the dead Yingge.

Rather, it refers to the seventh day of the first summer.

Zhao Zhu's face was expressionless, and his gaze when he only looked at him was a little deeper.

"The third brother has something to maintain, and I naturally have it too."

Zhao Xi's face changed obviously, "What do you think the nineteenth brother should do?" ”

His eyes were withdrawn from Zhao Xi's face, Zhao Yu frowned, and said slowly, "It's just a maidservant who died, Zheng Erbao, prepare a straw mat, and send someone to pull it out and bury it." That fool is honest and loyal, and he can't do such a thing, so this matter is over. ”

A sentence is not light or heavy, but it is sound.

And not for discussion, but for sure.

Xia Chuqi was actually unwilling in his heart. Because of this, in fact, it does not completely prove the innocence of the fool. But she also knew that in the current situation, there was no way to prove anything, even if she found a job, not everyone was Song Ci in "Clearing Grievances", let alone so many Di Renjie, most people acted based on people's faces.

As long as the fool is fine.

She originally thought that Dongfang Qingxuan or King Ning would stop him.

But they never expected that as soon as Zhao Zhu's words came out, the two of them laughed.

Zhao Xi directly agreed, "What the nineteenth brother said is extremely true. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan seemed to be smiling, "Since His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness King Ning both think that it is a family matter, Qingxuan is inconvenient to interfere again." ”

A red robe swept by.

Dongfang Qingxuan came and went suddenly.

Suddenly, Xia Chuqi felt even more inexplicable, and her eyes swept to Yueyu's already calm face, a little unconvinced, and she didn't know why, she just felt that Yueyu had a problem

"Master, it's so hastily settled, how can my fool's justice say?"

Zhao Zhu stood up slowly and spread his hand at her, "Come here." ”

Xia Chuqi was embarrassed for a moment, walked over, looked up, and looked at him, "What?" ”

I thought he would have something to order, but he didn't think about it, but he just raised his hand, casually straightened the Luo hat on her head, and said lightly, "This is the best result." ”

Xia Chuqi's face stiffened, biting his lower lip, and his heart and liver twitched.

Soon, someone wrapped Yingge's body in a straw mat and carried it out, seeing that situation, she, who was also a "slave", felt a little sad, but the doubts in her heart couldn't fall for a long time.

She entrusted the fool to Meizi first, stopped Zhao Bottle in the yard, and after he withdrew from the people around him, she lit up a pair of big eyes and asked him thoughtfully, "Do you know who did it?" ”

"This matter cannot be discussed again."

"......" why?

She was entangled in her heart, but when she saw Zhao Zhu's expressionless and cold face, she didn't ask the words. But Zhao Zhu is Zhao Zhu, he saw through her mind at a glance, thought about it, and explained more, "The simpler she dies, the better." ”

The simpler, the better?

Xia Chuqi narrowed his eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, the direction that Yingge pointed in after turning around was nothing but a fool...... It seems that there is still Ning Wang Zhao Xi? Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly understood.

It's not that Yingge has to die simply, but everyone wants her to die so simply.

So, Yingge is the person arranged by King Ning next to Zhao Bottle?

But because of the lying medicine, she died?

But what was she panicking about? Poisoning and suffocation, two different ways of dying, could it be that Ning Wang Zhao Yi did it alone?

She kept her head silent, but Zhao Tuo patted the top of her head.

"Calm down the fool, I have something to go out."

Then he turned and was about to leave.

Xia Chuqi was in a hurry, and reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"Hey, when are you coming back?"

In fact, she asked this completely because she was unwilling to do so, but when she asked one sentence, it seemed to have changed a little. Zhao Zhu He is the prince, he is the master, when does he want to come back, where is her turn to ask a servant? And when I look closely, it feels like a little wife asking when her husband will come home.

She let go of her hand in a daze, and the tips of her ears were a little hot.

"I just, I still don't think it's right. Okay, you've got to get busy beforehand. ”

Zhao Jun looked at her quietly for a moment, lowered his head, and said softly, "Be honest, wait for me, huh?" ”

“……”

"No way?"

"Good ......"

Damn it! After saying that, she almost bit her tongue, how could she be so obedient?

Xia Chuqi usually hates to be as timid as a daughter's family, but when things really fall on her own family, she found out that many of the things she said when she bragged were actually duplicitous.

Hanging her head, she wanted to sew her mouth shut.

But Zhao Zhu had already heard it, the corners of his lips seemed to be hooked, and he said in a voice so light that only she could hear, "I have something for you when I go back, wait." I'm leaving. ”

He seemed to be in a hurry, and he turned around sharply and walked in a hurry.

Watching his back pass through the sour jujube trees in the yard, Xia Chuqi was stunned in place, feeling that there seemed to be a very good fragrance on his body in the air, decorating her strange thoughts.

And his last words before leaving also made her heart beat a small drum.

What will he give her?

Also, what he said was "I have something for you", not this king, nor the master, but an equal "I" word, which made Xia Chu seventy points comfortable, and he couldn't tell the feeling of his heart beating wildly, but he felt that his ears were burning all the time.

After a long time, she exhaled and patted her face.

Don't be stupid.

A feudal prince, isn't the means of coaxing women so powerful?

Thinking about it, her mind turned back. first withdrew the Zhao slut from his brain, and then turned around and brought the fool who had been stiff shoulders back to the room where she lived alone, and asked Meizi to go to the stove to cook a bowl of convulsive soup for him first, while she stayed to comfort him.

But no matter what she said.

After a long time, the fool still did not speak.

Knowing that he had a hurdle in his heart, Xia Chuqi couldn't force him, so he could only keep talking to him to calm his emotions, "Fool, it's okay, it's all over, don't think about it anymore." That woman is not a good thing, she is dead when she dies, and it has nothing to do with you, so you should have never seen her, okay? ”

She said a lot of things, but the fool just sat there and grabbed her with both hands.

didn't speak, didn't look up, didn't say anything for a long time, as if someone had taken away his soul, a big head was always lowered, and the silence made Xia Chuqi's heart hurt him more and more.

"Hey, fool."

Helpless again, and sighed worriedly, but she was helpless.

If a normal person encounters this kind of thing, he will not be able to stand it, not to mention that he is a fool with an incomplete mind?

In order to divert his attention, Xia Chuqi thought about it, and suddenly pulled his arm again.

"Hey, fool, do you know that you have a birthmark on your back."

This trick really worked. When she comforted him before, he didn't move, and it was estimated that his thoughts were still around the death of Yingge after her words, but this time he was bypassed by her, raised his head, stared at her with a pair of red eyes, and after a while, he said.

"The third aunt said that she was not allowed to tell others, nor was she allowed to take off her clothes in front of others."

This time, it was the turn of the seventh day of the summer to be silent.

Could it be that the birthmark has a different meaning, and why can't you tell someone else?

But when the fool had an accident before, he was always naked and surrounded by everyone, even if he didn't tell anyone, there were not a few people who saw it, right? After a pause, she frowned, and carefully took the fool's words.

"Did the third aunt tell you why you weren't allowed to tell others about this?"

His lips moved a few times, and the fool seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xia Shiqi's curiosity became more and more serious, "What's the matter, say, you still have to hide it from me?" ”

The fool peeked at her several times, and the big head hung even lower. It seemed that after thinking about it for a while, she muttered the truth, "The third aunt said that if you tell others, the little ** will fly away......"

At the beginning of summer, I was stunned for a while.

She didn't expect to be killed, and she would ask for such a result.

But obviously, the third aunt wants to use the simplest and most direct way to block the fool's mouth and prevent this matter from leaking out. Because according to the intelligence of a fool, no matter how much she says, he can't understand it. So, in other words, what secret might the fool's birthmark have to do with him, and the third aunt happens to be a person who knows his secret?

Lowered his head and was stunned for a long time, the fool saw her thinking there, and raised his head for some reason, grabbed her hand nervously, and then hugged her tightly, like a child who depended on his mother, his tone was soft, and he was a little scared, more like he was defending himself.

"I fell asleep, I slept deeply, and when I opened my eyes she was there. Cao'er, you believe me. ”

His stupid appearance made Xia Chuqi cry and laugh.

She kept patting him gently on the back, and she softly reassured, "Isn't it stupid?" I believe in you, or can I help you? Fool, don't you think about it anymore, didn't the prince say it too? It was the woman who came to your house shamelessly and died, and it's none of your business at all. ”

The fool sighed softly.

After a long time, he thought about it alone for a long time before he suddenly spoke again.

"Grass...... I'll go to the two of my family, it's not good to ...... here."

Xia Chuqi knows a person's desire for home, a familiar environment, and a familiar person, even if the conditions of the home are not so good, it will be a harbor in everyone's heart. For her, the army in her previous life was home, and in this world, there is actually no concept of home.

But she understands fools.

In addition, she also wanted to find an opportunity to ask the third aunt.

Her fingers tightened slightly, and her mind was slightly confused.

"Okay, just these two days, I will tell the prince to go, let's go home."

She didn't know if Zhao Jun would agree, but thinking of the two of them getting along now, she felt that he should still have a certain trust in her. What's more, her peachwood mirror is still in his hands, and he can't be afraid that she will never return.

When Meizi came in with the convulsive soup, the fool's mood had recovered a lot.

Moreover, because Xia Chuqi promised him to return to Liunian Village in two days, he was obviously not as dull as he had behaved before, and even pouted as she did when he saw Meizi come in with soup.

"You're so slow to cook soup."

was criticized by a fool, Meizi tilted her head and said "Huh", put down the soup and was about to pinch his ear, "You fool, I kindly cooked soup for you to drink, and you still learned to hurt me, right?" ”

The fool still pouted, "It's you who always lie to me, you're a bad person." ”

"Am I a bad person? Ha, I'm so angry, I won't give you the soup to drink. ”

Meizi said that she was about to take it away, but the fool snorted, and he didn't like to take care of her, he only hugged Xia Chuqi and didn't let go, looking like a child who lost a fight with a child, and saw that Xia Chuqi was in a good mood, so he smiled and slapped him.

"Alright, you two don't quarrel."

Naturally, Meizi will not really care about a fool, and the fool will not really have any hostility towards Meizi, but because the two of them are more familiar, in this place of the post station, Meizi is also the most affectionate person in his eyes, except for Xia Chuqi, so he will make a face to her.

When the fool obediently drank the soup, Meizi's face snorted, and he turned his head to look at Xia Chuqi.

"I was busy cooking laba porridge on the stove before, so I delayed it for a while."

Xia Chuqi sighed, and suddenly remembered, "Yes, yesterday was the seventh day of the lunar month, and today is the eighth day of the lunar month." ”

On the eighth day of the lunar month, there is a custom of eating Laba porridge. Xia Chuqi had heard this in her previous life, although she didn't like to eat it, she didn't think it was strange, but Meizi's next words made her strange.

"Actually, it's another special day."

Xia Chuqi sat on the edge of the bed, watching the fool eat, and turned his head when he heard the voice, "What day?" ”

Squeezing her eyes, Meizi hooked her fingers gossipingly, and when Xia Chuqi came to her, she suppressed her voice and said in a low voice, "The eighth day of the lunar month is the birthday of the master." ”

Yes? Zhao Bottle's birthday?

Xia Chuqi was taken aback, and he didn't slow down yet, and heard Meizi say again, "But I've been in the house for five years, but the house has never had a birthday for the grandfather, sometimes he has no chance to march outside, and sometimes, I heard Sister Yueyu say that it seems that the master didn't let it, and he wasn't happy." For this matter, Concubine Gong was angry before. ”

What Meizi said later, Xia Chuqi couldn't remember it clearly.

What was clearer in her mind was the rose cake that Zhao Bottle talked about last night by the river.

He said, "I haven't eaten it for a long time, and when I was a child, my mother always ate with me on my birthday." ”

But later, why didn't her mother do it?

She vaguely remembered his lonely tone at that time, where could he have no feelings for his mother? What did the mother and son do to be angry and make such an unpleasant fuss? Is it just because Zhao Bottle refuses to marry a wife and take a concubine, so that she can hold her grandson?

It's hard to guess the answer.

……

……

The eighth day of the lunar month in the twenty-fourth year of Hongtai is not destined to be an ordinary day.

Just when the Qinggang Post Station was stuck for the death of a slave maid, in the direction of the Qinggang County Ya, the sound of horses' hooves shuttled through the downtown area, startling passers-by on both sides to avoid it. And at that still piercing sound of "dodging away", and the Jinyi guards who held high the black banner of "Jinyi pro-army commander envoy", soon surrounded the county government of Qinggang County.

"Jinyi guards take people, pedestrians quickly avoid!"

Jinyiwei surrounded the county government, which was a rare thing for the common people.

Although it is not the day of Qinggang to catch the market, Qinggang County is also a big county, and the county government is built on a grand scale and magnificently. Jin Yiwei made such a fuss, and many people who didn't dare to get too close soon gathered at the gate of the county office.

However, the Jinyi guard surrounded the county office, but the gate of the county government was not opened for a long time.

"Jinyi Wei took people, arrested the anti-minister Fan Congliang, and opened the door quickly."

Another earth-shattering roar.

Soon, several brocade guards went up and hit the gate of the county office.

"Squeak-"

The vermilion lacquer gate of the county government was finally opened.

The person who came out at the head was none other than Fan Congliang, the county commander.

But it was a Fan Congliang who was tied with his hands and gagged.

The person escorting him was none other than Chen Daniu, the left general of the Jin Wei Army under Zhao Zhu. Striding forward, General Chen was aggressive, and did not lose to Jinyiwei at all.

"What do you do? What's the noise? ”

The person who led Jinyiwei today was none other than the newly appointed Qianhu Chu Luming, who replaced the dead Ma Renyi, and he looked up and down at Chen Daniu, who was standing with a knife at the door, and smiled coldly.

"Didn't General Chen hear that? Jinyi Wei takes people. ”

Chen Daniu scratched his head, looking ignorant, "Who to take?" Could it be that you take Lao Tzu? ”

Jin Yiwei is the old emperor's pro-army, and Jin Wei is also the elite force of the imperial court, it can be said that no matter which of these two forces, it is the person that the old emperor has always relied on. However, the recent frequent hostilities, both sides seem to be accustomed to it, once the boss roars, he doesn't even need to command, he draws his sword and draws his bow, and shows his weapons.

"Fan Congliang entered the ancient well with fake stones in Liunian Village, unearthed a thousand-year-old stone tablet, made crooked poems to slander the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, spread the rumors, damaged the national classics, mutilated the people, acted unscrupulously, and the criminals deceived the king. Now that Chu was ordered by the Governor of the Metropolitan to come to arrest and bring him to justice, he hoped that General Chen would give him a convenience. ”

"It's convenient for you to get an egg!"

As soon as Chu Luming's guilt was revealed, Chen Daniu, a rough man, directly exploded.

"Don't you see that Lao Tzu has already taken down people? What kind of text are you dragging in front of me, I don't know if Lao Tzu has never studied? What are you talking about? I don't understand, I only know that I was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to come to arrest this, this person who writes on the stone indiscriminately and ruins His Highness's reputation, will be escorted back to Beijing to be investigated by the Holy Lord himself, in order to prove the innocence of His Royal Highness of my family. What the fuck are you? ”

Chu Luming never imagined in advance that Jin Weijun would capture Fan Congliang first.

Of course, I didn't expect Huixiu to meet soldiers, and I couldn't explain it.

Reasoning with Chen Daniu? That's purely equivalent to farting to Wang Ba.

But the Jinyi Guard can't help but send it, if this Fan Congliang falls into the hands of Jin Weijun, he, a thousand households who have just taken office, will be derelict in his duties. As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, he has to make an appearance in front of the governor.

With a snort, Chu Luming didn't say anything more, and waved his hand violently.

"Brothers, up. Take people. ”

Chen Da Niu pulled out his waist knife with a snort, "Who the hell dares to be arrogant in front of me, when Lao Tzu went to the battlefield to kill people, you were still fucking urinating your crotch?" "That Chen Da Niu is a fool, and he speaks loudly, and he carries it on both sides with a bang.

The hearts of the onlookers were excited.

The recent Qinggang County, a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, lively everywhere.

Especially today, the person who was tied up and gagged was their county master, their parents, and a guy they hated so much, no matter who wanted to take Fan Congliang for interrogation, it was a big thing to see, calling friends to come, just this time, the crowd at the gate of the county government has been surrounded by the outer three layers of the inner and outer three floors.

"Up, up, up!"

"these eagle dogs!"

"Brothers, you're welcome to the fuck, throw off your belt."

The men and horses on both sides drew their swords and bows, and advanced in armor, and for a while, the sound of scolding, human voices, knives, and neighing of horses became more and more noisy and chaotic, and the situation of saber rattling had already begun. Just as he was about to start fighting, there was a neighing of horses outside the crowd.

A touch of red clothes swept by like a cloud, and the person who came was Dongfang Qingxuan.

He tightened his horse, stopped ten zhang away, and looked at Chen Da Niu with a bewitching smile.

"General Chen, why bother? Jin Yiwei supervises the criminal law errand, and your Jin Wei army is responsible for killing the enemy in battle, which can be said to be the well water does not violate the river water......"

Speaking of this, he squinted his eyes slightly, and learned to use a sentence on the seventh day of the summer month.

"If the dog does too much with the mouse, it will lose its life."

"You're a fucking dog."

Except for Zhao Zhu's words, Chen Daniu's account is not sold.

What if he is the Governor of Jinyiwei? Is he a reasonable man?

The soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield all the year round have a bandit spirit on their bodies, and this Chen Da Niu Chen General is no exception, to put it bluntly, he is also a military attache of the second grade of the imperial court, and these brothers are also veterans who have come from Jiusheng in their lives, who has no blood on their hands, where are they afraid that they will use force with Jinyiwei?

"Your Highness said that whoever dares to stop Fan Congliang from taking down is Fan Congliang and his gang."

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled lightly, "General Chen is really a straightforward person. It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really ready to get along with my Jinyi Guard? ”

"So what?"

There was another neighing of horses, and the person who rode a big bird and galloped was none other than Zhao Bottle.

A graceful and noble face once again showed that kind of cold contempt.

"Lord Dongfang, where is there really any troubled water?"

"Great, wonderful, everyone's here."

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled, turned the horse's head gracefully and charmingly, and looked at Zhao Zhu evilly.

"Since His Highness is here, let's explain it to Qing Xuan. Fan Congliang is involved in the case of the 'fake ancient stone tablet' in Liunian Village, and he has bewitched the world with fallacies, sinned and deceived the king, and even disregarded your Royal Highness's reputation, trying to frame you for being guilty of chaos and abusing power with merit, causing an uproar among the subjects of the world. Qing Xuan was ordered to arrest this thief and return His Highness's innocence, why did His Highness stop it? Could it be that it was really instructed by Your Highness? ”

Zhao Zhu was cold and arrogant on the horse, and his voice was flat.

"Lord Dongfang is too worried, you don't need to worry about the innocence of this king, this king captured Fan Congliang and returned to Beijing, that is, he will personally hand it over to his father to prove his innocence. If you let this person fall into the hands of Lord Dongfang, once you come out and bite people indiscriminately, it will not be beautiful. ”

With a soft sigh, Dongfang Qingxuan asked with a smile, "Then how can Qingxuan guarantee that Your Highness will not kill people?" ”

"It's the Governor of Dadu who wants to kill people, right?" Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "If Fan Congliang was really instructed by this king, he would have killed people a long time ago, how could he keep him until now?" Give Dongfang-sama your chance? ”

After saying that, Zhao Zhu's eyes suddenly turned cold again.

"Fan Congliang deceived the king, faked stone tablets, wrote crooked poems, and tried to trap this king for disloyalty and filial piety, and this king will definitely send him to Beijing for investigation."

The gorgeous red python robe was gently flicked, and Dongfang Qingxuan smiled.

"The prince of Jin has enjoyed the praise of the world, and this son will come to cross the river and tear down the bridge, which is really chilling. Aren't you afraid that when you return to Beijing, the Holy Lord will ask you for the crime of appointing a traitorous party and seeking rebellion without power? ”

Zhao Jun looked at him quietly, every word was clear and cold.

"This king was victimized by traitors like Fan Congliang, and the merits will be determined by his father. Lord Dongfang, although you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is it possible that you can override the king? Can you compete with the six departments and nine Qings? Can you directly intervene in the government? ”

Zhao Zhu has never said much.

But every sentence is choking every word.

Dongfang Qingxuan smiled faintly, as if he was not surprised, "Your Highness's words are reasonable, so it is really inconvenient for Qingxuan to interfere." However, there is one more matter, and I hope His Highness will also deal with it. ”

Zhao Zhu looked at him lightly, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Qing Xuan learned that this Fan Congliang's deception of the monarch with a fake thousand-year-old stone tablet was instigated by your favorite Chu Qi, and this seat has evidence." After a pause, between Dongfang Qingxuan's raised eyebrows, there was a smile that seemed to understand everything, and the bewitching smile was even more meaningful.

"Qing Xuan hopes that His Royal Highness will not blindly tolerate and nurture adultery?"

Glancing at him coldly, Zhao Zhu's face was expressionless. But all around, there was a cold air.

"This king also advises you. Thou shalt not move, the king's man. ”

After saying a word, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold voice came out of the clouds and fog, sinking out.

"Take it away!"

……

……

Summer has never made rose cakes.

In modern times, she tried to make some dim sum or something, but it tasted good. But in this era, both the materials and cooking tools are not so handy.

But her brain was like a short circuit today, and suddenly she had a whim, and as soon as she finished lunch, she pulled the plum to the stove to make a fire for her, wanting to make the rose cake that Zhao Zhu had eaten when he was a child.

The season has come to the wax moon, the fresh roses are naturally gone, the food of Sichuan and Yunnan has many exchanges, in Qinggang, there are Yunnan Bai people using the new flower petals of roses to make the special product "rose sugar", which can be temporarily replaced.

"Chu Qi, what are you doing here?"

Meizi lit a fire for her in the small bathroom, and she was too curious.

"Rose cake."

Xia Chuqi pursed his lips and was happy, like a rabbit in his heart.

"Is it delicious?"

"I don't know, I haven't eaten it."

Xia Chuqi followed the steps of making other pastries in his memory, mixed the japonica rice flour and glutinous rice flour together and mixed them well, dissolved the rose sugar that was originally used to make the filling, and mixed it with the flour in one place, stirred it carefully, kneaded it for a while, and then kneaded it into a round cake shape one by one and put it in the steamer.

"Plum, the fire is a little bigger."

"Oh."

Plum replied, sticking her head out from time to time, always curious as to why she made this rose cake.

But no matter how she asked, Xia Chuqi would not answer.

In her selfish heart, she didn't want to share this secret with Meizi, or anyone, the secret between her and Zhao Zhu. Especially thinking about it again, since even Meizi, the gossip woman, didn't know about the rose cake, it was that Zhao Zhu had never told others.

The tongue of fire in the hearth, whirring.

Her heart was pounding, too.

When Zhao Zhu left today, he said that he had something to give her.

What could it be?

She guessed, and felt more and more that since it was his birthday, she could make rose pastries for him as a special buddy. Well, in this way, it can be regarded as repaying his heart for protecting her and the fool today.

Trying her best to find an excuse to make rose cakes for herself, she always avoided thinking about the real reason for it, and her little face was red from the fire burned by the plums, and the color was much better than usual.

"Chu Qi ......"

Meizi tilted her head to stare at her face and pouted.

"Why do I think you're weird now?"

"Do I have one?" Xia Chuqi covered her hot face, completely unaware of her appearance, like a little woman who fell in her first love.

"Absolutely." Meizi disgusted and sneered, "You must have something you didn't tell me." ”

"Where is it, don't think about it."

"Okay, okay, if you say no, you don't. But Chu Qi, in fact, if you don't have this scar on your forehead, it's still pretty good-looking. ”

As if she had suddenly discovered a new world, Meizi kept staring at Xia Chuqi's face. She was a little embarrassed to see that she had always been thick-skinned, so she looked away and kept staring at the steamer, avoiding Meizi's eyes.

Speaking of which, in this time and space, she and Meizi are close people.

But how could she say that? No.

Carefully maintaining her own feelings, she calculated the time of steaming cakes, and smiled perfunctorily with plums, but her heart was like eating honey, always sweet, not to mention what it tasted like, as if she had really returned to the ignorant age of fifteen.

It wasn't until the smell wafted out of the pot that she came back to her senses and screamed and called out for plums.

"Hurry up, put out the fire, don't burn it anymore."

"Wow, it's so fragrant!"

After burying the firewood with grass ashes, Meizi quickly stood up, and when the basket of rose cake was uncovered from the pot, she sniffed it, and was really aroused by her appetite, and reached out to get it.

"Go, go!" Xia Chuqi slapped her claws off, "It's not for you to eat." ”

"And who did you give it to?"

Seeing that her little face was red, Meizi squinted her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly realized it.

"Hey, I see, you made it for our master? Right, right, or not? ”

"Shhh

Covering her mouth, Xia Chuqi was vicious, "Don't be foolish." Didn't he do me and the fool a favor today? I'm a kind person, so I have to thank people, right? Besides, I didn't have anything to handle, so I thought I would make some pastries myself, but I wasn't allowed to take them out and talk about it. Did You Know? ”

Meizi nodded straight at her.

But the two eyes smiled like a curved moon in their hearts.

Don't you know if you don't talk about it?

This Chu Qi, why did he become so stupid?

Meizi didn't understand why her IQ had become lower, and Xia Chu Qichang let out a long breath, and she didn't understand why she had become so stupid, and she was stupid and willing.

Next, she poured rose-shaped petals on each piece of carefully pinched rose cake, and used rose sugar melted into syrup to pour out rose-shaped petals, and when she was satisfied, she put these pastries in a delicate food box with a smile and walked all the way out of the stove room.

It's easy to think about, but hard to do. She wandered around the courtyard several times, and then she made up her mind, suppressed the strange anxiety in her heart, and walked slowly towards the Jade Emperor Pavilion with the food box.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she met Zheng Erbao who came out in a hurry.

As a thief, she pulled the food box behind her, and she pretended to ask casually, "Erbao Gonggong, is the master back?" ”

Zheng Erbao smiled and treated her very politely.

"Not yet, you're waiting inside, right? I guess it's going to be a little bit, it's going to be soon. ”

Holding down her frenzied beating heart, she thanked her with a smile, pushed open the carved door as usual, and walked slowly inside. There was no one in the room, it was empty, but there was a smell that she was familiar with.

I don't know when the Zhao slut will come back.

She sat down at the rosewood table, covered with red brocade, and kept the food box in the middle, staring at it in a daze.

No, what if it gets cold for a while?

Won't it taste good?

Yes, in such a big winter, the rose cake is going to be cold, where can there be any taste. Isn't it a waste of the fruits of her labor?

After thinking about it, she brought the food box over again and held it tightly in her arms.

I guess I was too tired last night to sleep well.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep on the table with the food box in her arms.

By the time Zhao Jun pushed open the door and entered the inner room, she had fallen asleep on the table without any image, and the saliva from the corners of her lips had soaked into the red brocade. Outside, the sky was already dark.

Zhao Zhu stared at her for a moment before he slowly walked over and patted her head with a big hand.

"You're back? Ah, how did I fall asleep. ”

Xia Chuqi yawned a lot, and when he was about to rub his eyes, he thought of the things in his arms. The roots of her ears were burned, and she hadn't said the excuse she had thought about several times, only to find that the food box had already cooled down.

"That...... What the hell is that......"

Putting the food box on the table, she retracted her hand embarrassedly, rubbed and rubbed, scratched her head and thought for a long time, before coughing lightly, pretending to be calm and looking sideways.

"Hey, I made it for you, thank you for your help today. It's a pity that it's cold, otherwise, I'll go and heat it up. ”

Zhao Jun looked at her already crimson face, did not speak, just grabbed her wrist, pulled the chair next to her, and sat down slowly.

With the other hand, he uncovered the food box.

The rose cake inside was indeed cold, but the rose petals that she poured on the cake with rose sugar were very beautiful, and seemed to be closer to the shape of the rose.

Sticking out her head to take a look, she couldn't help but feel a little smug again.

"How? Like a rose cake made by your mother? ”

"Like." Zhao Zhu's voice was a little low.

"Really? Haha, then I'll take it to the kitchen and heat it up again? ”

"No need." Zhao Zhu tugged on her wrist tightly and reached out to get it.

"Hey, you haven't washed your hands yet, why are you just catching it?"

Xia Chuqi dragged him to wash his hands first, and then sat back and looked at him with a smile, "It's okay now, eat, I wish you a happy birthday." ”

Zhao Zhu didn't speak, he put a piece of rose cake between his two fingers, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and never looked at her, the chewing action was very elegant and noble, and the serious look was very worthy of her thoughts.

Because he ate very slowly, he knew that he was tasting it carefully.

"Is it delicious?" Xia Chuqi lay on the table and looked at him, his voice full of hope.

"It's delicious." Zhao Zhu replied quickly, did not look up, but carried the second one.

"That's good, if you like to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow, free? Well, it's the first time I've done this today, and I'm not sure how hot it is, so it probably doesn't taste very good. I didn't do much, only eight in total. Eight is a good number, that is the meaning of the eighth day of the lunar month, which is your birthday. Also, in our country, everyone likes the number eight because it symbolizes wealth. Eight, it's hair, it's eight, hehe, I like silver......"

She has always been noisy, especially when she is happy, her tone is also very fast, and she is in a happy mood this time, and she is even more unbreathing when she speaks, catchy, and she can't wait to infect him with all her good moods, so that he can have a happy birthday.

Watching him eat like this, for a moment, she seemed to understand.

Maybe the feeling of first love, that's it.

There was also a moment when she suddenly realized again, as if she had never had one. In her previous life and in this life, she has lived for so many days and nights, and she has never been like this, her heart is beating faster, like a deer crashing around.

"Fan Congliang, I arrested it."

When he ate the third piece of rose cake, Zhao Zhu stopped and said lightly.

"Oh." Xia Chuqi was reminded by him, and then she reacted, and returned her thoughts to the real problem, and also thought of the "smash" plan agreed by the two before, although it was a little bloody to say, but she still asked, "You killed him?" ”

Zhao didn't answer, nor did he look her eyes.

Slowly, he pulled something out of his bosom and lifted it from the table to hers.

"It's over."

The thing in front of her was her small peach wood carved mirror.

Xia Chuqi's eyes lit up, she hadn't seen this beloved thing for a long time, she was almost excited, quickly took it in her hand, looked over and over, saw that it was well preserved, without the slightest damage, and wiped it very clean, and her mood was a little better for no reason, she specially brought it to the front, looked at her own face, and found that in addition to the scar on her forehead was still ugly, her skin seemed to have been maintained these days, and it was really a little whiter.

Well, you can keep trying.

She thought happily, put the peach mirror into her arms, raised her head, and looked at Zhao Zhu with bright eyes.

"Thank you for giving it back."

Zhao Zhu's brows furrowed slightly, "Fan Congliang, I'm going to escort you back to Beijing." ”

"Ah, why?" Xia Chuqi was a little strange, "Fan Congliang can't be kept, as long as you kill him, no one will know about those things." ”

Zhao Zhu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his eyes slowly swept over.

After looking at her for a long time, slowly, he stood up.

After looking at her for a moment, he flicked his sleeve slightly, and as soon as he turned his back to her, he spoke coldly.

"Chen Jing."

"The subordinates are here." The man in black, who was always with him, strode in from outside the house, and the people who came in with him were the second ghost and two other guards. In addition, it is Zheng Erbao, who is puzzled, and Yueyu, who is still holding a towel and gentle and gentle.

Seeing this situation, Xia Chuqi pulled his lips in understanding.

She didn't speak again, waiting for Zhao Zhu's next sentence.

It seemed like a century before she heard him.

"Take Chu Qi, and Fan Congliang will escort them back to Beijing."

"Yes. Subordinates understand. ”

Chen Jing's voice replied with no emotion as usual.

But at this moment, Xia Chuqi Zhenzhen felt as cold as piercing into the skin.

But she laughed abnormally, laughing so much that she didn't even know why she was laughing so happily, "You coax people, people coax you, coax and coax yourself." In fact, killing and destroying the mouth is more convenient than escorting back to Beijing, right? His Royal Highness the King of Jin. I only remembered now that the person who should really be killed should be me, not Fan Congliang. As long as I die, it is useless for Fan Congliang to say anything, Your Highness, what you want has been obtained, how can you kill one or two people in the world? Even if the court now says that the 'thousand-year-old stone tablet' is fake, the people of the world will no longer believe it, and will only feel that Your Royal Highness King Jin is even more aggrieved. ”

Zhao Zhu always turned his back to her, listened to her words quietly, and without saying a word, he strode out.

"Stop." At the beginning of the summer, he suddenly drank lowly.

He stopped, still not looking back, nor speaking a word.

"Why?" She asked.

Zhao Zhu hesitated for a long time, and her back became a statue in her eyes.

Just when she thought he would never answer again, she suddenly heard his cold words.

"He Qinghai Yan, Shi and Sui Feng. What this king wanted, it was never what you wanted. ”
