When Zhang Xiang received the news of Wei Lie's departure from Pingzhou, it was already the evening of October 23.

It was Yuan Shen, who infiltrated the Horse Mansion, who told him that Wei Lie had been away from Pingzhou for six hours at this time.

This made Zhang Xiang very regretful in his heart, originally a few days ago, he was trying to find a way to know the cat between Wei Lie and Kang Fu.

But because he wanted to catch the group of assassins, he was delayed.

Unexpectedly, he freed his hand, and this Wei Lie left.

This made him feel that he was like a blind cat, he couldn't catch anything, and Mrs. Kang didn't want to see him, and it might be a little difficult to know again.

On the afternoon of 24 October, Xie Wen and other gangsters who set fire to the Lin Mansion were beheaded on the execution ground, and the people of Pingzhou who went to watch it were surrounded by water, and the praise of the official government spread throughout Pingzhou.

After Shi Guangshun and others were killed by Yuan Shen, Zhang Xiang didn't have the heart to know the outcome of these Xue family guests, and he didn't tell the government that these gangsters were Xue family guests, because there was no need for that.

At this time, he sat in the courtyard of the east room, looking at the yellowing and falling leaves.

Thinking about another question.

It had been several times since he had seen his princess wife.

After separating from that at the city gate and letting her come back first, when Zhang Xiang came back after killing Shi Guangshun and others, the slave and the princess went to the official mansion.

Then in the evening, Zhao Hanyan didn't see him when he came back, Zhang Xiang wanted to see her that day, but the slave passed the word that the princess was very tired and had already rested.

On the second day, Zhang Xiang asked the slave to ask again, and the slave came back to him again, the princess was in a bad mood, and no one wanted to see him.

For the next few days, it's all like that.

Without the permission of the princess, Zhang Xiang didn't dare to step into the west room at will, so he could only wait and guess.

This made him puzzled.

This princess went to the government and came back, why is this like this?

In the evening, the money shopkeeper came to him, and he went out with the money shopkeeper.

In the evening, Zhang Xiang did not come back, and the slave delivered the food to Zhao Hanyan's west room.

The air was getting colder, and a charcoal fire was already burning in the house.

Seeing the princess standing in front of the window, she didn't know what to think, and the charcoal fire in the brazier was almost burned out, so she hurriedly put down her meal, added charcoal to the brazier, and said as she added: "Princess, this charcoal fire is all burned." ”

"Just burn it, this room is already quite warm, no need to burn anymore." Zhao Hanyan turned his head, looked at the busy slave, and then asked, "Where is the horse?" ”

"The horse and the money shopkeeper went to the old dragon river and haven't come back yet." The slave replied.

Zhao Hanyan walked over.

The slave with his head bowed asked again, "Princess, why don't you want to see the colt these days?" The colt misses the princess very much, does the pony make the princess angry? The slave didn't dare to ask. ”

"Then you dare to ask me?" Zhao Hanyan smiled slightly.

The slave stuck out his tongue and shrunk his head.

Zhao Hanyan sat down: "The colt didn't make me angry, I just couldn't figure out some things, just let myself think about it behind closed doors, and when I figured it out, I would go to see the pony again." ”

"What the hell is going on?" The slave looked up curiously.

Zhao Hanyan smiled softly: "The matter between our husband and wife, if you get married and marry in the future, you will also have these troubles." ”

"Slaves and maids don't marry! He always accompanied the princess and the colt. The slave smiled brightly.

Zhao Hanyan took her hand: "Girl, how can you not get married?" You are fifteen years old this year, and you will reach the marriageable age next year, and you have been with me for so long, I will still do this for you, and if you have a favorite son at that time, I will be a matchmaker for you. ”

"Princess, slaves and maids don't marry." The slave shook his head in disbelief.

Zhao Hanyan smiled: "Slave, you have also grown up, it is impossible to serve me all your life, it is the responsibility of each of us to teach our husbands and children." ”

"Doesn't the princess want slaves?" The slave lowered his head, and those big eyes were about to drip water.

Zhao Hanyan hurriedly shook his head: "How can I not want you?" You've been with me for almost five years, and I've long treated you as my own sister, but as an older sister, it's also my responsibility to let my sister marry a good husband, and even if you marry someone in the future, you can come back often. ”

The girl was thinking about it, and she didn't want to talk about this topic with the princess, so she hurriedly got up: "Princess, the food is almost cold, eat it while it's hot, the slave and maid still have something to do, so let's go and get busy first." ”

Then she hurried out of the house.

Zhao Hanyan shook his head with a headache, knowing that the slave was evading this problem.

But she doesn't have to care about it for the time being, the girl is still there, and when she grows up, she will be able to understand it herself.

Then, Zhao Hanyan continued to think about the question that he didn't understand.

Originally, after coming back that day, she was worried about Zhang Xiang, so she went to the government and wanted the government to send someone to pick up Zhang Xiang, but Zheng Zhifu told her that Yang Zhutou had already brought someone there, so she didn't have to worry.

So, she could only wait for news in the palace.

Eventually, Yang returned and brought back the bodies of the four Assassins who had died horribly.

It was also known from Yang Zhutou's mouth that these four assassins were killing each other.

This was the government's answer, but Zhao Hanyan didn't believe it at all.

Zhang Xiang originally wanted to arrest these four assassins for her before, and she was relieved that she had already made a plan to ensure that nothing went wrong.

She originally thought that she would escort these assassins back to the capital, hand them over to her father, and knock on the mountains and shake the tiger, so that those who wanted to have bad intentions towards Zhang Xiang would not dare to have bad intentions anymore.

But she never expected that the four assassins would die so tragically.

It wasn't that she sympathized with the assassins, but that she became suspicious of Zhang Xiang.

Although she didn't know martial arts, she also knew that these four assassins were all masters, and Zhang Xiang had no martial arts at all, how could he kill these four assassins?

There is only one explanation for that, Pingzhou City, Zhang Xiang has his own people.

I also think that Zhang Xiang was rescued on the night of his assassination, and then disappeared for a few days and came back intact.

Zhao Hanyan was even more sure of his guess.

Thinking back on all this, Zhao Hanyan deeply felt terrible about his husband's scheming and the city.

She was a little angry, angry that Zhang Xiang was hiding from her, and angry that Zhang Xiang didn't trust her.

Although she didn't know who was behind Zhang Xiang to help him, these alone made her feel very unstable in her heart.

Zhang Xiang married her, came to Pingzhou City for half a year, and had such a helper, she was a little scared in her heart, afraid that Zhang Xiang was young and vigorous, and had the intention of avenging his father.

In her opinion, that is impossible, in a way, Zhang Xiang's father was forced to death by the ministers of the entire court, if Zhang Xiang did this, it would be against the entire court.

Isn't that tantamount to digging your own grave!

At the beginning, his father was worried that someone in the court would target him again, so he let him come to Pingzhou to live a stable life.

If he did this, wouldn't he be wasting his father's hard work in vain?

This is also the reason why she is reluctant to see him these days, she has been waiting for Zhang Xiang to take the initiative to tell her, but Zhang Xiang has no cherry blossoms

Thinking of this, Zhao Hanyan felt melancholy, if it was really as she guessed in her heart, she didn't know how to persuade Zhang Xiang at all.

Avenging his father, through righteousness, but his father died for righteousness, this is not revenge at all, if he goes against the trend, he will offend not only the entire court, but also her father.

As Princess Gaoping of Nanchu, as his wife, how would she deal with it?

has been with Zhang Xiang for half a year, and has long been integrated into the role of his wife, Zhao Hanyan can no longer talk to him with a strong identity and tone like he did at the beginning.

Thinking of these troubles, Zhao Hanyan also had no appetite, put down her chopsticks, sighed softly, and shook her head, maybe she was thinking too much, maybe things were not what she thought.
