"That's right, the fourth sister only wrote four words, she could have written more, such as: quick return." Cheonggye-do.

Xiao Yizheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There are two possibilities: first, this letter is not an expression of the fourth sister's self-will. Second, the fourth sister didn't want us to leave for Shangdu. ”

"Why?"

Xiao Yizheng raised his eyes, looked directly at Qingxi, his eyes were deep, and said, "Yes, why." ”

He was not asking, he was answering.

Qingxi frowned between his eyebrows, his hands tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Could it be that there is a change in Beijing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... him?" ”

Xiao Yizheng's expression was complicated, there was confusion in worry, and there was injustice in pain.

"Since this letter was sent back by my father, I will go and ask my brother if my father has mentioned the situation in Beijing in the letter?" Qingxi said simply.

Xiao Yizheng's expression regained his stability, and he nodded: "Yes, for now, we must first determine whether these four words are true." ”

He didn't intend to hide Ling Qingsong's matter, the reason why he didn't find out just now was entirely because Li Han was there.

Li Han is a person in the rivers and lakes, and if he can not be involved in the affairs of the government and politics, he should not be involved.

When the two walked to Ling Qingsong's courtyard, they saw him drinking with Li Han in the courtyard.

Qing Song saw them enter the courtyard and said with a smile: "Why did this come to me again?" It just so happened that I invited the head of the house to drink to thank her for helping her today, why don't you join us? ”

Li Han held the wine glass and smiled slightly.

Xiao Yizheng and Qingxi were in no mood to drink with them at this time, but looking at Qingsong's relaxed color, there must be nothing special about the letter sent by Ling Deyan.

Qingxi thought about it, but still asked, "How is Daddy?" Is there anything else in the letter? ”

Qing Song's mood was extremely bright, and he said with a smile: "Okay, what else can I say, ask me to take good care of the second elder and you, and nothing else." He paused, as if he remembered something, and said, "Dad also wrote a letter to Grandpa, and I guess it's a cliché." ”

"Write a letter to Ah Gong?" Qingxi frowned: "This is strange, my father rarely writes letters to my grandfather." ”

"That's right, Ah Gong doesn't like to read some rambling letters the most. So, I suspect that Ah Gong won't even watch it. Kiyomatsu smiled.

But Qingxi glanced at Xiao Yizheng, and said, "It's okay, you drink, let's go." ”

Qingsong was already a little drunk, and he wanted to say something to invite him again, but Li Han opened his mouth: "Tanhualang, don't pull the sixth master and six mothers to block the wine for you, say that you won't get drunk tonight." ”

Qing Song proudly took off his robe and sat back: "I am enough for one person." ”

Qingxi shook his head helplessly, and had no time to tease him, so he pulled Xiao Yizheng out of the courtyard and went straight to Chen Ji's bedroom.

"Are you sure what your father-in-law will write in his letter to Grandpa?" Xiao Yizheng asked as he walked.

"Sure, because it's abnormal." Qingxi is determined.

The lights in Chen's study are bright.

When he saw Xiao Yizheng and Qingxi, he was not surprised, and said calmly: "I was just thinking about when you will come." ”

He pointed to a letter on the desk in front of him and said lightly, "Take a look." ”

Xiao Yizheng stepped forward, took the letter, and quickly read it word by word.

This is a very ordinary letter from home, greeting the elders, caring about the recent situation, entrusting the education of the children, and feeling guilty that they can't be filial piety by their side.

But Xiao Yizheng's face turned pale when he read the letter.

"See?" Chen asked.

Xiao Yizheng nodded slightly, and Qingxi took the letter and read it carefully.

Chen Ji followed: "Xingzhi wrote this letter to me just to make a decision. I'm actually quite bothered by these things, but now that the letter is in my hands, I can't pretend to turn a blind eye. My decision, then, is that if you come to me tonight, I will make an idea for you; If you don't come to me tonight, then everything will be as it is. ”

As soon as his words fell, Qingxi had already finished reading the letter and exclaimed: "The first word of each sentence can be connected into a sentence, hide the letter." ”

Yes, Ling Deyan wrote a letter to Tibet, and the first word of each sentence is connected together: There is a change in the palace, and the saint has not shown up for many days, I am afraid that he is seriously ill or in danger.

"Your father thought so hard

The news was transmitted to Sujiang, presumably the situation in Shangdu was more urgent. Chen Ji looked at Xiao Yizheng and said, "Little Liu, what do you think?" ”

Little Six? Chen Ji called Xiao Yizheng like this, which made the two stunned, and then their hearts were warm.

Because the intimacy that this title represents is self-evident.

But the current situation does not allow them to have a good time.

Xiao Yizheng frowned and said: "My father-in-law passed on the information like this, which means that he is very worried that the Ling Mansion will be monitored by someone with a heart, and the reason why the Ling Mansion is taken care of is also because of me." I am now in Sujiang, without any power, without a single soldier, I don't believe that the third brother will be jealous of me so far. ”

Chen Ji smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The peak of power will change the world, there are not so many impossibilities." ”

Qingxi's heart was also tangled, and she remembered the conversation between the prince and the queen that she had heard in the imperial garden that day.

She turned her eyes to look at Xiao Yizheng's side face, and the candle flame hit his face, outlining his resolute outline, making her can't help but want to reach out to trace. She asked softly, "Do you want to go back?" ”

The corners of Xiao Yizheng's mouth moved slightly, met her eyes, and nodded without hesitation: "Something must have happened to my father, I must go back." ”

Qingxi nodded lightly, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

"Nope." Xiao Yizheng immediately refused, and said firmly: "You stay in Sujiang, stay with Ah Gong and Lizhi." I will send a message to Zhao Xin and ask him to come to Sujiang quickly. ”

"No way!" Qingxi grabbed his sleeve tightly and said hurriedly: "I must go back to Shangdu with you, I am also worried about the safety of my father and the safety of my father and mother." ”

Xiao Yizheng held her hand and said in a deep voice: "Ah Heng, listen to me, if something really happens that I don't want to happen, then you go back to Shangdu with me to give the other party one more reason to blackmail me, on the contrary, if you are in Sujiang, I will feel much more at ease." You can rest assured, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are my responsibility, and I will never let them be hurt in the slightest. ”

"Chengzhan, I'm not your weakness, I'm your wife." Qingxi's eyes were shining, and his tone was indestructible, and he did not back down.

"Have you forgotten me?" Chen Ji opened his mouth at the right time, revealing carelessness.

The two looked at each other at the same time, sitting on the Taishi chair, a little nervous, and did not look Chen.

"Ah Gong, you won't let Ah Heng leave Sujiang, right?" Xiao Yizheng looked at him pleadingly.

Chen Ji stroked his white beard and said softly: "You two children, don't listen to me carefully. As I said at the beginning, I have an idea about it. He raised his hand and pointed at Qingxi, "Heng'er, you stay in Sujiang......

"Ah Gong!" Qingxi stepped forward and protested.

Xiao Yizheng nodded heavily.

Chen Ji waved his hand and continued: "Don't worry, you can only help Xiaoliu if you stay in Sujiang." ”

Qingxi and Xiao Yizheng were puzzled for a while.

But Chen Ji didn't explain further, but followed the arrangement: "Little Liu, you will return to Shangdu alone and generously." No matter what happens to your father, your life is at stake, and you, as a son, must go back. ”

"But Ah Gong, Cheng Zhan is too dangerous to go back to Shangdu alone." Qingxi was anxious.

She paused, feeling that at this time, Xiao Yizheng had to let Xiao Yizheng know that the prince's mind towards him was not flawless, and he was jealous, although this was an understandable flaw in human nature, but for her, these flaws could hurt her beloved. In the past, she thought that the two of them had left Shangdu and left the power struggle, so these flaws could be properly kept and buried, leaving Xiao Yizheng with the purest world possible; But now, if he wants to go back, he must see the turbidity and complexity of heaven and earth, so that he can escape with his whole body. t.

So, she hurriedly told Xiao Yizheng all the conversations she heard in the imperial garden.

After Xiao Yizheng listened, the little blood that had just recovered instantly faded again.

Qingxi even felt that his face had turned dark.

She watched him purse his lips tightly, very hard; Every inch of his face seemed to tremble slightly, showing that he was not just surprised and angry, but seemed to have more, forbearance? Distressed? Afraid?

She wasn't sure. All she knew was that she didn't want to see him so heartbroken. So, she didn't care about Chen Ji's presence, and hugged him with open arms, wanting to pass on herself

The power of warmth.

But Xiao Yizheng's hands hugged her tighter, trying to melt her into his body.

After a while, Chen Ji spoke first: "So, the commander of the patrol battalion in Shangdu is the kid of the Zeng family?" ”

In the past, Ling Deyan and Chen Ruofu came back to visit relatives and mentioned Zeng Qidao several times, so he knew something about it, and he also knew the origin of Qingxi and the Zeng family.

The two of them slowly let go of their hands at this time, and looked at Chen Ji with some embarrassment, and both nodded.

Chen Ji didn't care either, and continued: "That's not very good. At least, the situation in the patrol battalion is favorable to Xiao Liu. He looked at Xiao Yizheng and said, "You just said something wrong, you are not without any power and without a single soldier." You have! You have the forces of the southwest, you have the soldiers of the northwest, these are the forces that stand behind you. With that, he slowly got up, walked around the desk, walked in front of the two, and said solemnly: "Do you know, why did your father and mother want to promote your marriage with Heng'er?" ”

The two of them looked at each other. Why, in the current situation, this matter is mentioned?

Chen Ji smiled lightly and sighed: "So, the person above the high position, this scheming is unfathomable." This time, though, he's mostly for your son. ”

Xiao Yizheng was confused. He had a premonition that he was going to hear a shocking secret.

"The reason why your father and your mother want to promote this marriage is so that if one day, your brothers kill each other, you will not die because of it. They need Heng'er's help to keep you safe in this life. ”
