Note: The mistakes and omissions in this chapter will be corrected in a while, and I stayed up all night watching "Fifty Shades of Grey", and then my aunt tortured me again...... Go squint and change it later...... Haha, don't beat me, if you want to beat me, take the monthly pass to beat me! (Hey, there seems to be something wrong with this sentence...... ）

Shun Shun Mao! That interface is estimated to have a bug.,I hope there will be a good adjustment!

When I woke up, why did the client interface change? There is no monthly pass for sign-in, and poor my little daughter-in-law wants to sign for a month to earn a monthly pass for Erjin, and they have made up for it!

------Off topic------

At the beginning of summer, the seven statues were struck by thunder.

"What, me?"

Zhao Zhu was not surprised by her "curiosity", only looked up at her lightly, but gave her an answer that she didn't expect at all, "Now everyone in Jingshi is rumoring because of you." ”

"How's that happening now?" She stared at it like a torch.

"Hmm." Zhao Zhu, as usual, said very little.

"Okay, I won't bother with you about the silver for now, and when I understand it, I'll come to you to ask for it. But...... What, I have something to ask you, the retranslation building was very lively last night, you know, right? ”

"I don't know, do you? Okay, I'll settle it with you when I go back, and send someone to send the bill to the Jin Palace. Xia Chuqi said viciously, seeing that he was silent, a pair of black eyes faintly showed a little melancholy when looking at her, and she couldn't help but soften her heart, she didn't want to eat dry sour anymore, and directly changed to the topic she was eager to know.

Zhao Zhu's brows tightened, and his voice was extremely light, "I really don't know how much silver I owe my mother?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were in love so bitterly, she originally wanted to explain, but Xia Chuqi raised her hand and stopped her, "Princess, don't intercede for him." It doesn't work to say anything-" Snorted, she rolled up her sleeves, as if she had a deep grudge against Zhao Zhu, and glared at the ground, "Anyway, how can Your Highness prepare to pay it back?" ”

After Chu Qi left last night, she already knew that there was no mildew on her neck at all, but a cheap thing done by Yuan You's scourge, and she also knew Chu Qi's purpose for giving her money, but for Zhao Zhu to come to see her once today.

Hearing her say this, Wuren Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhao Zhu, her face was embarrassed, "Chu Qi, Your Highness, he ......"

Teeth grinded, she smiled strangely, squinted her eyes and soured him, "Your Highness, this thousand taels was returned for Princess Wuren, and I accepted it." But Your Highness, how do you calculate the money you sent me? ”

Is his 1,000 taels of silver the recent income of the Jin Palace, or did this guy open the lock of Chengde Courtyard and use her small treasury to support Xiaoqing'er?

Zhao Zhu said lightly, handing over a stack of silver tickets, without too much emotion on his face. Xia Chuqi glanced at him, his face was a little ugly.

"Count the dots."

Listening to her sour words, Zhao Zhu didn't say much, put down the teacup, he politely gave a salute, his deep eyes narrowed, and his eyes fell on her lower abdomen, even if it was blocked by a loose robe.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Jin to repay the silver quite early......"

Sighing, she rubbed her cheeks like a toothache.

At the beginning of the summer, the seventh pregnant woman was angry, staring at the two "door gods", and couldn't help but be annoyed. But she can't directly pick people up, doing so is tantamount to having no silver three hundred taels here, which makes Zhao Mianze suspicious.

Why is it so inconvenient to have a few words with him?

However, even so, because of Zhao Zhu's special identity, Ah Ji, Lu Hui and others were still not at ease, and guarded him like a thief. When the seventh day of the summer month entered the guest hall of Chuci Academy, in addition to the graceful and luxurious Zhao Zhu and the beautiful and elegant Wuren Xiaoxiao, Ah Ji and Lu Hui, like two door gods, were waiting at the door of the guest hall.

Because Chuci Courtyard is the place where Xia Chuqi lives, Zhao Zhu will definitely not be able to come by himself, but if he comes with Wuren Xiaoxiao, it will be a different matter. Of course, today, he has a more high-sounding reason - to pay back.

In the Chutz Courtyard, the most knowledgeable person in the plum. Because of her big mouth, which has never been seen before or since, Xia Chuqi had to hide many things from her. Therefore, although she knew that Wuren Xiaoxiao was the princess of Jin who was enshrined by the emperor, she still couldn't accept Zhao Zhu and the girl next to her to appear in front of her.

“…… Miss Seven! ”

"Break it."

At the beginning of summer, he blocked his ears and nodded slightly.

"How can this be? How so? I feel bad. Miss Seven, I'm going to cry to death. How can you change your mind, my heart is broken......"

The corners of Qinglan's mouth twitched, knowing that she was used to joking, so she didn't say anything, just pretended to be honest. And Meizi was still worried about her male god leading the girl next to her into the house, and along the way, she sighed, and her pink round face was full of frustration.

She shook her head, sighed with a point, saw Qinglan shrink her neck, and smiled slyly, "I didn't say you, don't be weak-hearted, the master is handsome and chic, beautiful and beautiful, and he is more endearing than my little woman." ”

"I can't raise it, I can't raise it!"

Along the way, she looked around, not only did Jiayi have no shadow, but even Zheng Erbao was gone, thinking that Baba had followed to see Zhao Bottle.

knew that Zhao Bottle and Wuren were coming, but Xia Chuqi still finished washing up slowly, and ate the "Pregnant Woman Breakfast" prepared by Qinglan, so he slowly swallowed out of the house and went to the guest hall.

"Come on, my good young lady, I can't let you wait."

She learned this sentence from Xia Chuqi, and seeing that she learned well and used it "just right", Xia Chuqi was even more happy. She laughed for a quarter of an hour before she was dragged out of bed by Qinglan.

"Early in the morning, I took the wrong medicine......"

There was constant cheering in the room, and Qinglan looked inexplicable.

When Qinglan came in with toiletries, Xia Chuqi was still rolling on the bed with her belly, and Meizi pleased Miss Qi, thinking that she was also funny, and laughed along.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Meizi, you're killing me. Wuren stick, these are two words, you are too good at abbreviation, Wuji Princess, hahaha, my belly. Being called out by Meizi like this, coupled with a combination of "black chicken princess", Xia Chuqi's original drowsiness was gone, and he hugged his stomach with laughter, and his face turned red with laughter.

"Poof", Xia Chuqi laughed.

Seeing that she didn't think so, Meizi was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Ye didn't come alone, he also came to bring that Beidi's black chicken princess......"

Xia Chuqi was not surprised, "It's coming, it's coming, what's the matter?" Could it be that he has six heads and three eyes today? ”

"Master is here!" Meizi's eyes flickered.

"What's the matter?" At the beginning of the summer, he yawned, lazy and weak.

"Miss Seven, get up quickly, something happened!"

It's not someone else who enters the house, it's a plum girl who always has longer legs and more mouths than others.

Xia Chuqi stretched his waist, didn't see Jia Yi in the room, shook his dizzy head, and was about to get out of bed, when the door was pushed open.

It's another beautiful morning.

When I woke up, it was already dark. The big horse and the pony on the windowsill are "cooing" lovingly, like a night of dreaming with each other, and the birds in the yard outside the window are also chirping as if they are cooperating, like a loud summer concerto.

Being able to make Xia Chuqi so tired that she didn't like to move, she was indeed extremely tired, and she did so many things as if she was rushing to the scene in one night, she almost didn't have a dream, and she fell into a deep sleep.

~

Thunder is the norm in summer, especially in such weather conditions. Xia Chuqi squinted, looked at his indifferent face that was stiff like a robot, crooked his mouth, did not speak again, tore off the tent with a "whoosh", dodged the robe and threw it out, and wrapped it in the quilt in his middle coat.

"There may be thunder later."

Jia Yi lay down against the wall, put the quilt on his waist, and looked at her tepidly, his slightly raised eyebrows were very strong, and his thin lips were very cold, but his voice was helplessly soft.

"Hey, what are you doing? Go back to your house and sleep. ”

Xia Chuqi was shocked by his behavior and raised his head again.

Jia Yi stood still and looked at her, his eyes fixed for a long time before he went to pick up a quilt and made a bunk at her door.

"You're ruthless! We're even! She waved her hand and fell like that.

Squinting his eyes, Xia Chuqi patted his forehead, wanting to strangle him. Although Zhao Shijiu had seen her more sloppy, it was a special case. In normal times, she still hopes that she is beautiful in his heart, not a lazy pig.

"Do you think I dare?"

"You!" Xia Chuqi raised his head and stared at him with a stiff neck, "Dare-"

"If you dare to say it, I'll tell him that you go to bed without bathing or washing your feet, and see if he wants you?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

"You dare!" A glared.

"If you don't wash, I'm tired of Lao Tzu! Female men don't have to pay attention to this. Xia Chuqi yawned, tears flowed out, she wiped it casually, and then fell, "In view of your performance today, when Ming'er Zhao Nineteen comes, I will tell him and let him deduct your income for another year." ”

After that, she yawned and walked to the couch, Jia Yi looked at her weak back, and frowned deeply, "You haven't washed yet." I called for someone to wait. ”

"Well, you win. I'm sleepy and want to sleep. ”

That's true. Xia Chuqi pondered in his heart, looked at his serious face, pursed his mouth, and had no energy to talk anymore.

"She's your friend, have you forgotten? You've been looking for her for so long, and I know you won't leave her alone, let alone watch her get into trouble. ”

Jia Yi frowned, and didn't speak for a long time, until Xia Chuqi retracted his expression, stared at the past strangely, and raised his hand to shake it in front of his eyes, and then he came back to his senses.

She squinted her eyes and muttered to herself, "Huh, could it be that you really thought about other girls because they were born beautiful?" ”

A raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her without speaking.

Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, choked in his throat, and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, let's be honest, why?" The boss I have in my impression is not a good person, he will pick up a girl on the side of the road and take it home. ”

"If I hadn't smoked this cold, I would have done this?" A asked rhetorically, his tone was still flat, and he glanced at her with the same eyes as an idiot.

"Sour?" Xia Chuqi snorted, sat beside him, and made a serious face, "Why haven't you thought about how dangerous it is to do this?" Do you know how many people are looking for her out there? Fortunately, tonight, Ah Ji and they all followed me to the retranslation building, if they find out, then it will be worth it? ”

A glanced at her, expressionless, "It's so sour." ”

Signaling Zheng Erbao to step back, she looked at Jia Yi's bland face, touched her nose, and joked: "Sure enough, in life, you have to look at your face wherever you go, you look good, and it's easy to do things." It's just that I didn't expect that our boss A would also have the heart of pity and cherishing jade? He brought someone to the Chutz Courtyard. ”

As she expected, Jiayi sat quietly at the door.

After Xia Chang left, Xia Chuqi asked Qinglan to take Gu Ajiao to wash, and then Zheng Erbao, who had already complained, helped him into his room.

Xia Chuqi said playfully and winked at him. Xia Chang was even more embarrassed, looked down at his feet, didn't dare to look at Gillian again, only waved his hand, said "farewell", and strode out.

"Big brother is polite, she is my friend."

Xia Chang was slightly embarrassed and embarrassed, "Seventh Sister is right." His face turned slightly red, he glanced at Gu Ajiao, and stood up slowly, "It's too late, I've been here for a long time." Seventh sister, I'll go first, and I'll entrust Gillian's affairs to you. ”

"Poof", Xia Chuqi glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Just take a quilt and sleep with it, aren't you burying our Wei Mansion and not being able to entertain guests?" Looking at Xia Chang again, she smiled and asked, "Yes, Grandpa Guo?" ”

Without waiting for Qinglan to answer, Gu Ajiao waved her hand in a panic, "Chu Qi, I can't help but trouble this sister...... You can give me a quilt and I'll do it. ”

"Qinglan, thank you for your hard work, go and arrange the layout, Gillian will spend the night here tonight."

Knowing that she was worried about her body, Xia Chuqi smiled at her comfortingly, took Gu Ajiao's hand again, and snuggled her mouth.

"Miss Seven, it's night."

Xia Chuqi whispered, and Qinglan entered in response.

"Qinglan!"

On the night of the Yuanlin Hall in the East Palace, even though Gillian was too scared, she still testified for her in front of the emperor and Zhao Mianze. Although she has different temperaments and different values, no matter how you look at it, she is not a person who is the same, but when she can help others, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue.

From Qinggang County to Jingshi, she has known Gu Ajiao for three years.

She said emotionally, and her tears "dragged" down, and Xia Chang frowned, as if she was distressed. And the seventh day of the summer month can't help but sigh.

After that, regardless of her opposition, Gu Ajiao left her seat straight, her knees were weak, she knelt in front of her upright, kowtowed, and said with tears in her eyes, "Your great kindness, my Gu Ajiao is unforgettable, even if you can't repay it in this life, you will definitely get one or two rewards if you are a cow and a horse in the next life." ”

"Thank you, Chu Qi."

Stunned for a moment, Gu Ajiao burst into tears and laughed.

"I didn't say you were going to see the official." Xia Chuqi sighed, seeing that she was panicked, like a rabbit that had been beaten, she couldn't help but feel some pity, "That's it, it's late today, you live with me first, I want to ......" She laughed at herself, "In the entire Jingshi City, it is estimated that the safest place is Chuci Academy." Wait for tomorrow, I'll inquire about the situation, and then I'll talk about it. ”

Hearing Xia Chuqi's meaning, which was to hand her over, Gu Ajiao's face turned pale with fright, she shook her head desperately, grabbed her wrist and didn't let go, "Chu Qi, I don't want to go to see the officials, they will kill me, they will definitely kill me...... Murder is a payment for life......"

I don't know if there is a "legitimate defense" in this era, Xia Chuqi coughed lightly, and then analyzed: "I think, for Nan Yan and Beidi, who is that woman, why did she harm Babu, and whether it was to provoke contradictions between the two countries, this is the most important thing." You killed someone, but you were also the main witness...... Only when we understand these things can we find a solution, and you can live in peace. If not, can you hide for the rest of your life? ”

"Don't worry." Xia Chuqi saw that she was in such an emotion, and she didn't want to ask anything more, so she just said: "Gillian, there are many things that can't be avoided...... As you said, when you entered the chamber, something was clearly wrong with that Báb. Then his death must not be entirely your responsibility. You poked him with a hairpin, which was also a legitimate defense......"

"Chu Qi......" She paused for a moment with a hesitation in her eyes, Gu Ajiao was already sensitively aware of it, and her voice was even more miserable, "No one can help me except you." I don't want to die, my father is still alone in Xiao Zhouzhuang waiting for me to go back, Chu Qi, I know that you are the most powerful, you help me, you must help me......"

Although she doesn't understand politics, she has studied history and knows the seriousness of this matter. As far as she knew, the Sosaurevo incident, the trigger of the First World War, was caused by the killing of the envoys.

If this matter is an ordinary life lawsuit, it would be easier to deal with, but this matter involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, how can it be as simple as killing a person? If the Dayan court can't hand over the murderer, it will inevitably fall out with Beidi. If the war resumes, it will be another human tragedy with human beings and piles of bones.

Xia Chuqi did not answer immediately.

Seeing that Xia Chuqi was silent, his eyes moved slightly, and he sighed heavily, "But the eldest brother is incompetent, even if he wants to save it, there is no perfect solution." Seventh sister, now except for you, there is no one to save Gillian. ”

Xia Chang put a hand on his thigh lightly, and clenched the corners of his robe tightly, but he did not hesitate, "Seventh sister, Gillian will have such a change, in the final analysis, my Wei Mansion is ashamed of her." It should be repaid no matter how it is. ”

"Gillian's offense is a big deal. It is possible that the Duke of Wei will be affected, have you thought about it? Xia Chuqi asked tentatively.

"What does Seventh Sister mean?"

Xia Chang is keen-minded, looking at her hesitant expression, her previous determination is a little uncertain.

"Big brother, what do you think we should do now?"

Thinking of the logical relationship between this, thinking of the Yingtianfu Yamen who was looking for someone upside down, Xia Chuqi frowned and thought for a while, and then threw the question to Xia Chang.

She had heard Zhao Zun say that his twelve hidden guards were sworn brothers, and they had been allied by blood, and there had always been a set of communication methods between them, but Jia Yi never told her.

The person who can be found by the two ghosts should be the first one.

Gu Ajiao nodded and wiped away her tears, "Coming out of the retranslation building, I said I was going to look for you, and the second ghost handed me over to a man, I don't know who he is." It was he who brought me to the Mansion of the State of Wei. ”

"Guards?" Xia Chuqi thought of the face of Jia Yi at the door before, and looked at Gu Ajiao suspiciously, with doubts in his eyes.

Xia Chang shook his head, glanced at Gu Ajiao, and then said in a low voice, "It was the guard next to you who brought her into the mansion." ”

"When Gillian entered the house, was anyone found out?"

Xia Chuqi patted him comfortingly on the shoulder, his mind was changing, but his eyes looked at Xia Chang calmly.

"Chu Qi, can you help me......"

She couldn't cry silently, she was incoherent, and when she said this, she turned her head and looked at Xia Chuqi with a pair of watery and tearful eyes, her eyes were full of courteous pleading.

"But I have nowhere to go, my father is still seriously ill in Xiao Zhouzhuang, I am penniless, and I have killed someone, or killed Beidi Huzi, and going back will only affect him...... I want to find a place to hide, but I have no relatives in Beijing, and I only think of you. Chu Qi, I only have a friend like you......"

This time, Xia Chuqi didn't say anything.

"It's called two ghosts." When she was in Qinggang County, Gu Ajiao often went to the post station, and after returning to Beijing, Xia Chuqi also had a relationship with Gu Ajiao. Yan Ergui, who has been with Zhao Zhu, knows these things. Xia Chuqi pursed his lips, pondered, and heard Gu Ajiao say again, "I begged him to save me...... He didn't ask anything, and let me jump. It was he who caught my ...... downstairs."

"Two ghosts?"

Xia Chuqi's brain was stirred and he guessed.

Gu Ajiao sobbed and said, "I had an idea at the time, I killed someone, and I had to escape...... I thought that the woman had jumped from the window, so I ran to the window, but the room was on the second floor, and I climbed out of the window, but I didn't dare to jump down. Later, I saw the guard of His Royal Highness King Jin......"

"It's okay, don't be nervous, you speak slowly." Frowning, she asked the doubts in her heart, "Then how did you escape?" There are guards everywhere in the retranslation building, and there are even more Beidi people, how can you get to the Wei Mansion without knowing it. ”

Seeing that she was nervous like this, Xia Chuqi held her shoulder.

Raising her eyelids, she looked at it with tears in her eyes, and without waiting for Xia Chuqi to ask, she waved her hand in horror, "I didn't want to kill him." I'm just scared, I just don't want to be strangled by him...... Chu Qi, you believe me, you believe me. ”

"I was scared, so I called him, and just as I wanted to call someone, he rushed over and grabbed me by the neck as if he wanted to strangle me...... I couldn't speak, and I couldn't struggle, so in order to protect myself, I pulled out the hairpin on my head and poked him indiscriminately......"

Gu Ajiao's tears did not dry, and she shook her head, "I only saw a back, but I didn't see her appearance clearly, I only felt that she was thin and tall...... I was frightened by the appearance of Lord Báb, who looked at me with round eyes, his cheeks trembling, and his hands trembling as if he could not breathe. ”

"Woman?" Xia Chuqi was shocked, "What kind of woman?" ”

"The lord named Babu, when I went in, he did not look at me much, but abruptly withdrew. I was a little scared, I thought he was going to do something to me, but I didn't think about it, but he sent me out and wouldn't let me in. I didn't know how he was alone inside, but I was glad that he had escaped until I heard the clash of wine utensils, tables and chairs in the inner room, and I pushed the door to find out. I just saw a woman jump out of the window......"

"Ever since the envoys of Beidi lived in the Retranslation Building, I have been called to drink wine as a companion from time to time. The girls in the building were afraid of them, saying that they were Beidi beards, barbaric and inhumane, and no one was willing to go...... Our director, Sister Hong, usually dislikes me the most, so she always assigns me to go. ”

When it came to the murder, Gu Ajiao's pale and pretty face showed obvious panic, she wrung her handkerchief, and her voice trembled.

"What is the situation in the retranslation building?"

Xia Chuqi listened to her for a long time, mostly because of her experience of being bullied by those people in the teaching department and her hatred for her aunt. In addition to sighing, she still turned to the issue she was most concerned about.

"I can't leave, and I can't afford to offend them, thinking that my father wants silver to save my life, I heard that the wine girl is just pouring wine and waiting, and it is similar to the girl and slave of a big family, so I admit it."

"She was very familiar with the musician of the teaching department, and said that I could play the pipa well and could go to work as a musician...... Unexpectedly, when I joined the Teaching Division, that Si Le asked me to go to drink. ”

Gu Ajiao sniffed, her voice hoarse, "My father is honest, and all the belongings he has saved over the years have been deposited in the money bank by my uncle, and he said that he will use it when I become a family in the future." When we left, we didn't have much money with us, and my dad ran out of money not long after he saw the doctor. I went to Jishitang to ask my uncle for money. I never thought that my uncle was not at home, and my aunt did not admit it. I waited for three days, but I couldn't afford to wait, so my aunt said that there was a way to help me earn some money for medicine. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Ajiao burst into tears, raising her sleeves to wipe away her tears. Xia Chuqi looked at her and comforted her before asking, "And then?" ”

Xu was to avoid Xia Chang's embarrassment, she did not mention the part where she was insulted by Xia Yan, but continued: "After being kicked out of Jishitang by my aunt, my father and I had nowhere to go, so in order to save money, I temporarily stayed in a farmhouse in Xiaozhouzhuang, about ten miles away from Beijing. The family was kind-hearted, and took us a few taels of silver, and let us stay. My father first thought that seeing people in Xiaozhouzhuang would be enough for my father and daughter to make a living, but unexpectedly, my father was very angry about it, and he fell ill when he stayed that night......"

"Because that time in the East Palace, I didn't admit to conspiring with you to frame the princess, and then they were angry with me..."

In front of Xia Chang, Gu Ajiao's expression was painful, nervous and embarrassed, and she clutched the corners of her sleeves for a long time before she told the truth.

"Why are you in the Retranslation Building?"

Gu Ajiao raised her eyelids slightly and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Retranslation Building?"

Gu Ajiao can kill? She was silent for a moment, and a chill felt down her spine.

Suddenly, she felt her ears itch terribly.

Xia Chuqi wanted to rub his ears.

"Chu Qi......" Gu Ajiao choked up, and before she finished speaking, tears slid down her eyes, that delicate and weak look was very worthy of her name, "I killed someone, I killed someone...... I don't want to die, you save me. ”

"Can any of you tell me what's going on?"

Three questions were thrown out in a row, but Gu Ajiao just sobbed with a white face, nervous as if she couldn't understand something. This look makes the monk who is seven feet two at the beginning of summer puzzled.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Where have you been these days? ”

She never thought that it would be Gu Ajiao, who had been missing for a long time and could not be found. Seeing that her thin body was trembling slightly under the candle flame, her face was pale, and she seemed to be still palpitating, Xia Chuqi glanced at Xia Chang's solemn face in confusion, and then went over to help her sit down.

Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned.
