Chapter 135: I Repented

It was not early when I came out of the side hall, and the bright spring light turned into a soft orange sunset, enveloping everything with a layer of softness.

The palace people took Su Li out of the palace, passing through the imperial garden, and happened to see Chu Lingxi and Chu Huai'an sitting in the octagonal pavilion not far away, and there were palace people cooking things next to them, I don't know if it was tea or wine.

The palace people originally wanted to come forward to say hello, but they were stopped by Su Li and only glanced at them from a distance.

Chu Huai'an had gauze wrapped around his forehead, and he was injured again for some reason.

He was talking to Chu Lingxi, but he didn't notice Su Li at all, far away, Su Li couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and remembered the conversation with Chu Lingzhao before.

He carried two marriage documents in his arms, but he did not take the initiative to mention the marriage to Chu Lingzhao.

Do you regret it?

Su Li couldn't help but think of his cold repetition on the way back to Beijing.

If you regret it, you will regret it, this kind of thing can never be forced.

"Let's go."

Su Li silently went out of the palace with the palace people.

Here Chu Lingxi looked at Chu Huai'an, who was drunk, his head was big, how could anyone drink like this in the daytime, and there was still a wound on his head.

"Okay, don't drink it!"

Chu Lingxi persuaded again, saying that he wanted to snatch the wine jar, but Chu Huai'an held it tightly, and after a while, he fell asleep holding the wine jar.

"Come on, help Xiaoyao Hou go back to rest!"

Chu Lingxi ordered, afraid that something would go wrong, and followed the palace people all the way to send Chu Huai'an back.

Fortunately, Chu Huai'an's wine was good, and he was quite safe along the way, and he didn't vomit or make trouble.

Chu Lingxi arranged for the palace people to fetch hot water to wash Chu Huai'an's face, and then boiled a pot of sobering soup to wait for him to wake up and drink it again, after doing this, Chu Lingxi got up to leave, but heard Chu Huai'an muttering in a low voice: "No, I can't do good deeds without leaving a name!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

What good have you done? Didn't you see that you almost blew up the royal brother yesterday?

Chu Lingxi twitched, grabbed the quilt and covered Chu Huai'an's head, and this person was honestly silent.

As soon as he walked out of the room, the palace people rushed over and knelt down: "Lord, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Queen Mother's dormitory to discuss matters!" ”

There is no difference between the Queen Mother's bedroom and Chu Lingxi's memory, it is still so magnificent, but the palace people outside the hall have been replaced by the Imperial Forest Army with long knives in their hands, and the original peaceful atmosphere has been replaced by a solemn killing.

This is the shackles of wealth in this palace, locking each of them, and no one can break free.

The palace people stopped outside the hall, bent down and respectfully made a gesture of invitation: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Chu Lingxi walked in step by step, there was not even a palace person in the hall who was waiting, and there was a dead silence, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Chu Lingxi followed his memory into the Queen Mother's bedroom, pushed open the door, and saw Chu Lingzhao sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of medicine and feeding the Queen Mother with his own hands.

Chu Lingxi had seen this scene before, and at that time he could still feel the warmth of his mother's love and filial piety, but now when he looks at it again, he only looks weird.

This mother-son, who are close to each other, have long been separated from their hearts.

Chu Lingxi retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and looked at the dusty floor tiles under his feet, walked to the side of the bed and knelt down to salute: "Hongli greets the queen mother and the imperial brother, may the queen mother be healthy, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”

The Queen Mother hadn't seen outsiders for several months, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she propped herself up and looked at Chu Lingxi: "Is Hongli back?" Come over and let the mourners see! ”

The tone was unprecedentedly happy, as if he was closer to Chu Lingxi than to Chu Lingzhao.

Chu Lingxi subconsciously glanced at Chu Lingzhao, Chu Lingzhao didn't react much, put the medicine bowl aside, and got out of the way.

Chu Lingxi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and the Queen Mother grabbed his hand affectionately and looked at him.

In the end, they are brothers, although they are not from the Queen Mother, but the two are still four or five points similar.

After three years on the throne, Chu Lingzhao's imperial majesty has become more and more prosperous, but Chu Lingxi is still as gentle as jade back then, and it is very harmless at a glance.

I have been angry with Chu Lingzhao for a long time these days, and the Queen Mother really likes Chu Lingxi when she looks at her.

"You've been out alone all these years, have you suffered anything?"

The Queen Mother asked softly, her tone was genuinely concerned, as if she was deliberately trying to stab Chu Lingzhao.

"Relying on the emperor's brother to govern the country well, now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the sons and daughters have lived well over the years." Chu Lingxi replied very measuredly, there are two points of flattery in these words, and eight points are true.

Where did the Queen Mother hear him praise Ling Zhao so much at this time, her face immediately turned cold, and she smiled faintly: "Your imperial brother does have some means to govern the country, do you see that there is still a living person in the palace of the mourning family?" ”

No matter how much there are twenty or thirty people in the Queen Mother's palace, there is no one now, which is very abnormal.

The Queen Mother threw away this topic, but Chu Lingxi didn't dare to ask where these people had gone, and instead said: "If the queen mother feels lonely, the sons can take more time to visit the queen mother and talk to the queen mother to relieve their boredom." ”

"Forget it, the mourning family is now an ominous person, Hongli has come to see the mourning family more times, maybe one day he will end up with the people in the mourning family's palace, how can it be good?"

The Queen Mother insinuated in her words, and she had to directly provoke the brotherly relationship between Chu Lingzhao and Chu Lingxi.

Chu Lingzhao had been standing beside him and enduring, and when he heard this, the medicine bowl in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.

"What's wrong with the Emperor? Can't even hold a bowl? Or did the mourning family say something you don't like to hear, and you want to kill the mourning family? ”

has been confined for a long time, and the Queen Mother didn't even bother to disguise, tearing her face, and there was no longer the slightest mother-son friendship.

"Why does the son treat the queen mother like this, doesn't the queen mother still understand?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, and his heart hurt very much by Chu Huai'an and the Queen Mother one after another.

His voice was a little hoarse, and his face was not very good, Chu Lingxi was a little worried, and tried to be a peacemaker in the middle: "Brother Huang, the queen mother is old, it is inevitable that she will be a little confused, don't take what she said seriously, you ......"

"Hongli, who do you say is old and confused?"

The Queen Mother glared at Chu Lingxi viciously, not understanding the feelings he wanted to reconcile at all, Chu Lingxi opened his mouth, didn't have time to argue, and listened to the Queen Mother again: "The emperor said that the mourning family did everything before, which time was not for your good?" ”

The Queen Mother has said these words to Chu Lingzhao many times, and today Chu Lingxi is here, she brought it up again, but she just wanted Chu Lingxi to judge herself.

Chu Lingzhao also knew her intentions, and replied with kindness: "The queen mother poisoned Wu Wu and let the An family die for the good of her son, so the son succeeded to the throne and waited for three years before he started to move the family, but the son didn't think about moving you, did the queen mother admit it?" ”

Chu Lingxi was stunned, and looked at the Queen Mother with wide eyes, but she didn't expect her to poison An Wuwu.

An Jia is a hero of Yuanzhao!

"If you move to settle down, isn't it just moving to mourn home? If you hadn't been cornered by you, how could the child have embarked on this road? ”

The Queen Mother questioned, and the matter of the An family's rebellion against the palace was also counted on Chu Lingzhao's head.

Chu Lingzhao's heart was cold: "The An family forced the palace to rebel, isn't it the cause and effect of the queen mother's poisoning?" ”

The Queen Mother was speechless when asked, unable to refute, her heart choked, and her eyes turned red.

She will poison An Wuwu, it is completely for Chu Lingzhao's good!

"The An family rebelled and was beheaded, but I didn't blame the queen mother, nor did I depose the concubine An Ruolan, doesn't the queen mother understand her son's intentions in doing this?"

Chu Lingzhao asked coldly, he copied the An family at that time, but did not move the harem, even now, An Ruolan is still sitting in the position of the concubine, no accident, she will be the queen in the future, and his prince still has the blood of the An family in his body.

This is his greatest mercy to the An family and the Queen Mother!

Speaking of which, it would be too much for the Queen Mother to pretend not to understand, she sighed: "So what? You're just learning from your father and using this trick to get the last hole card in the mourning family's hand. ”

Is that really the case? In her eyes, is his son such a calculating and unscrupulous person?

"Queen Mother, my son has grown up under your knees since he was a child, and his feelings for you are far better than those for his father, my son didn't think of calculating you, if you hadn't secretly sent someone to assassinate Jin Zhi and Lu Ji in the name of the anti-minister, my son would not have been tough enough to take the troops in your hands!"

Chu Lingzhao's tone was a little more tired, the Queen Mother was too stubborn, after the death of the first emperor, she was accustomed to Chu Lingzhao's filial piety and obedience, and even gave her the illusion that she could be above the throne, so she would never feel that she was wrong.

Chu Lingxi was shocked when he heard this, and a cold sweat broke out on his back: "Why did the Queen Mother order the assassination of Jin Zhi and General Lu?" They are all heroes of Yuanzhao! ”

If that assassination was successful, and the Hu people's 100,000 army attacked the city, wouldn't Yuanzhao have been wiped out by the Hu army?

The Queen Mother ignored Chu Lingxi, only looked at Chu Lingzhao, and a strong hatred burst out from her eyes: "Hongyi, don't forget what the will left by the emperor's grandfather said, if you get the will and ask you to abdicate, aren't you afraid?" You are too soft-hearted, the mourning family killed them, just to get rid of the troubles forever! ”

She always makes decisions in the moment for the unknown.

The An family was already a bloody lesson, but she didn't learn from it at all.

Chu Lingzhao didn't want to say anything more to the Queen Mother, she only had power in her eyes, she didn't trust anyone, she just wanted to hold everything firmly in her own hands.

"Queen Mother, it is the son who sits on the throne now, there are some things that you shouldn't be involved in, so don't participate!"

Chu Lingzhao's attitude hardened, and the Queen Mother immediately put away her emotions and sneered: "The mourning family is already like this now, does the emperor think that the mourning family can still pose any threat to you?" ”

"It's good that the queen mother understands!" Chu Lingzhao said in a deep voice, his face was stiff, and he was a stranger to the queen mother: "My son still has government affairs to deal with, and I will come to see the queen mother in a while." ”

After Chu Lingzhao finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, Chu Lingxi stood in place, looking at the Queen Mother with a complicated expression.

After this quarrel, the Queen Mother seemed to have spent a lot of energy, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, rubbing her eyebrows with one hand: "Hongli, everything the mourning family does is for the emperor's good, do you also think the mourning family did something wrong?" ”

Wrong.

Big mistake.

Chu Lingxi replied in her heart, but seeing that she was so tired, she didn't say her true thoughts.

"Erchen has been in the fief for many years, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, so it's hard to assert." Chu Lingxi chose a conservative answer, the Queen Mother lifted her eyes and looked at him, and he added: "The ancient proverb says that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the queen mother thinks it is a good thing for the imperial brother, and the imperial brother may not think it is good, and the queen mother might as well let it go." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Chu Lingxi for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it, you are also standing with him, the mourning family doesn't need you to accompany you, let's go......"

After speaking, the Queen Mother turned her back to Chu Lingxi, as if she didn't want to see him again.

"The retainers retired."

Chu Lingxi exited the dormitory, closed the door, and turned his head unexpectedly to see Chu Lingzhao standing in the open space in the courtyard.

He stood there, obviously wearing the robe of the Ninety-Five, but he seemed to be carrying a cold and lonely body.

Chu Lingxi walked over, Chu Lingzhao didn't look back, heard his footsteps, and said: "Hongli, do you remember that there was a tree here before?" ”

"I remember, I once entered the palace and pestered the palace people to tie a swing to the tree, and I came to the queen mother to say goodbye to the queen mother in those days, so I wanted to play secretly for a while, but unfortunately it didn't take long for the queen mother to let the queen cut down the tree."

"It was I who secretly played on the swing and was discovered by the queen mother, who asked her to cut down the tree."

The Queen Mother didn't want him to lose his mind by playthings, and at the same time felt that it was too unseemly for the dignified prince to play on the swing.

Chu Lingxi was nothing surprised, standing side by side with Chu Lingzhao and reminiscing about his youth.

"Now that Your Majesty has everything, you can do whatever you want."

Chu Lingxi said, but he knew very well in his heart that after that age, he had no interest in those things, but he always had some regrets in his heart.

Chu Lingzhao looked at the open space left by the tree at the beginning, and muttered to himself, "Does Hongli think I have everything now?" Why do I think that I have nothing since I sat in this position? ”

The people he loved and loved him had changed, and his siblings and his closest relatives had been separated from him by an invisible barrier.

He sat on the dragon chair, not knowing when someone would jump up and take his throne, or who would suddenly stab him.

He used to want to be the Emperor of the Ages, but now he only feels very tired, as if he has not done anything.

His tone was very depressed, Chu Lingxi didn't want Chu Huai'an, and he didn't know what to say at this time to change the topic or comfort him.

He was a little at a loss, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his hand and patted Chu Lingxi's shoulder.

"Isn't there still me with the imperial brother, no matter what happens, I will be on the imperial brother's side."

It seemed that what he had been waiting for was his words, Chu Lingzhao turned his head to look at him, his eyes shining: "Is Hongli's words true?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Seriously! ”

Chu Lingxi replied hesitantly, always feeling as if he had fallen into a pit dug by someone else in advance, and sure enough, the next moment he heard Chu Lingzhao say seriously: "I suspect that there are other forces in the hands of the queen mother, and you have to accompany the queen mother more during this time, if she wants to provoke the relationship between you and me, you first pretend to believe it, and then cheat all the hole cards in the queen mother's hand, there is still more than a month to go is the queen mother's birthday, I believe you will be able to!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Brother Huang, weren't you still in a very low mood just now? So your depression is just a disguise of what you're thinking?

Chu Lingxi's stomach slandered, Chu Lingzhao's expression became a little more serious, and he patted him in the posture he had just made: "Yuan Zhao's safety in the next few years depends on Hongli!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chu Lingxi accepted this heavy and arduous task in a daze, after coming out of the Queen Mother's dormitory, Chu Lingxi was a little sober, and was about to discuss with Chu Huai'an what to do, but when he pushed open the door, he saw that there was no one on the bed.

"Where's Master Hou?"

Chu Lingxi grabbed a palace maid and asked, and the palace maid looked confused with the sobering soup: "Shouldn't Master Hou sleep in the house?" I don't know if the slave maid boiled the sobering soup! ”

Chu Lingxi: "......"

This drunkard isn't going to get into any trouble again, is he?

At the same time, the county lord's mansion.

On the way back, she bought two new painting books, wanting to see the recent popular embroidery patterns and clothing patterns in Kyoto from the dressing styles of the characters in the painting books.

These two painting books are painted, the painting is still relatively sophisticated, Su Li saw the favorite patterns and started to draw them down and write them down in the notebook, ready to go to the major garment shops in Beijing in a few days to take a look.

She was very attentive when she was doing her business, and she didn't pay attention to the change of time, and when the maid came to knock on the door, she looked up and found that it was already dark.

"What's the matter?"

Su Li put down the drawing book and rubbed her sore neck.

"County Lord, dinner will be ready in a while, do you want to take a bath or have dinner first?"

"Let's take a shower first."

"Yes!"

The servant quickly brought hot water to the ear room, and Su Li was not used to having someone next to her when she was taking a bath, so she told them to step back, take off their clothes and sit in the bathtub.

After staying at the border for a long time, she seems to have a strange obsession with bathing.

Su Li relaxed her body and sat in the bathtub, her nerves relaxed, and she was thinking about what the name of the ready-to-wear shop should be when she suddenly heard a slight ticking sound, as if there were water droplets dripping from a high place.

Su Li opened her eyes keenly, and looked down to see a drop of jewel-like bright red smearing in the bathtub.

Where does the blood come from?

Xu is brain was a little dazed by the hot water, and Su Li's nerves slowed down, staring at the gradually rippling blood for a while before looking up at the roof, just in front of a familiar face.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was a deathly silence, and a moment later, a second nosebleed dripped down.

Su Li finally came back to her senses, hurriedly got up and hurriedly dried her body and put on her underwear, just fastened her clothes belt, the window rang, and then Chu Huaian turned in from the window, and there were two red nosebleeds on her face.

Su Li was hot, she only felt that the underwear was not thick enough at all, and she had to go to get the clothes, but she heard a 'bang', and Chu Huai'an fell to the ground.

The maid guarding the door heard the voice and hurriedly asked, "County Lord, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine!"

Su Li replied calmly, helped Chu Huai'an up, and as soon as he approached, he smelled the smell of wine that could not be dissolved.

How did you drink so much alcohol?

Su Li sighed, and didn't care about anything else, so she took a handkerchief to help him wipe off the nosebleed, but the nosebleed became happier and happier, and there was a faint tendency of blood collapse.

Su Li frowned, this person shouldn't have any illness, right?

Just thinking about it, Chu Huaian pinched his nose and twisted his head to the side: "You go and add a piece of clothing!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Su Li silently took an apricot coat and put it on, before walking back, Chu Huai'an tore the hem of his clothes and blocked his nose, and was sitting at the table pouring himself tea and drinking, looking very funny.

"Why did Master Hou leave the palace?"

Su Li asked in a low voice, seeing that the tea was cold, she didn't let Chu Huai'an drink more, and ordered her subordinates to bring a new one.

Chu Huai'an was still very drunk, and after drinking tea, he looked at Su Li with hazy eyes: "I'm looking for you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Su Li asked, but saw Chu Huai'an's gaze turn and fall on her chest.

The incident happened suddenly, she didn't have time to put on a belly pocket, she only wrapped her middle coat, and when she put on her coat at this time, she still couldn't block the outline, Su Li was so hot that her ears were hot, and she raised her hand to block it: "If Master Hou has nothing to do, let's go quickly." ”

"Something."

Chu Huai'an looked away in disappointment, grabbed the teacup but didn't continue, Su Li waited for a while and was a little angry, didn't want to pay attention to this drunken man anymore, got up to ask someone to send him back to the palace, and then heard him mutter: "Now he owes me a life." ”

"Who?"

Su Li subconsciously asked, Chu Huaian staggered to his feet, seeing that he couldn't stand steadily, Su Li still couldn't bear to help him.

Then the wrist was clasped, the body was drawn into the arms of the drunken man, and the lips were pressed eagerly.

What does this mean? Obviously, his attitude is very unclear, and he still wants to take advantage?

Su Li was annoyed and stepped on Chu Huai'an hard, pushing him away.

Xu didn't expect Su Li to resist so much, Chu Huaian was still a little stunned after being pushed away, and looked at Su Li blankly.

Su Li raised her hand and wiped her lips, her eyes were a little red: "Master Hou, I am not married, you treat me like this, I am afraid that my reputation will not be good for you and me, please respect yourself!" ”

"Oh."

Chu Huai'an nodded, as if he understood Su Li's words, turned around and was about to go back the same way through the window, Su Li unconsciously stopped him: "Wait!" ”

Chu Huai'an really stopped and turned his head to look at her.

Su Li stretched out his hand to him: "Master Hou, I think it's better for you and me to hold a copy of the marriage certificate, can you give me my share?" ”

"Nope." Chu Huaian covered his chest nervously: "Wan ...... What if you don't count? ”

Su Li froze, her chest was a little cold, and she was a little unwilling: "Since I wrote the marriage letter, I will promise the rest of my life to Master Hou, and I will not regret it!" ”

"No, if I ...... Did I regret it? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Su Li pursed her lips, her face was so tense that she didn't have the courage to ask him to say it again.

Although Chu Huai'an was very drunk, he also felt that something was wrong with the current atmosphere, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Li, are you angry?" ”

Su Li was so angry that she wanted to laugh, how could there be such a person, who took advantage of the drunkenness to say that she regretted her marriage, and asked others with a shy face if she was angry.

Shouldn't she be angry?

"I will return the marquis once for a dowry, and the marquis regrets that I got married once, which is very fair!"

Su Li suppressed her anger and said, Chu Huai'an nodded, shook his head after a while, and stubbornly defended: "No, this is different." ”

The process is not the same, isn't the result the same?

Su Li didn't want to speak, but the maid came to urge again: "County lord, dinner is ready." ”

"Okay, I'll be right here!"

Su Li replied in a low voice, Chu Huai'an had already climbed out of the window, he had long been used to climbing over the wall in this room, even if he was drunk, he could come and go freely.

As soon as he went out, Su Li immediately rushed over and closed the window and locked it.

As soon as it was closed, the window was slapped twice, Su Li ignored it, leaned against the window, and heard Chu Huai'an muttering a little aggrieved: "Ah Li, you just lied to me, you are angry." ”

His tone was very similar to that of a young man who was beaten out by Su Li for the first time when he opened the window.

Su Li was angry and funny for a while: "Yes, I'm just angry, what do you want?" ”

There was no sound outside the window, as if trying to figure out a solution.

Su Li waited for a while, and then relented, feeling that it was quite naΓ―ve for her to worry so much about a drunk.

"I ......"

Su Li opened the window as she spoke, and the window was empty, and the figure of the person was long gone.

Su Li's expression froze, and the little fire that was suppressed in her heart surged up again, and she couldn't hold it back anymore.

She's just naΓ―ve, she's angry with a drunk, what's wrong! Who made this drunk so annoying?

Su Li's expression was still puffed up until she changed her clothes and went to dinner, and the maid followed her cautiously, not daring to ask her how to take a good shower to wash off the smell of wine, and her lips were red and swollen.

There was a conflict yesterday, Su Liang and Su Jue avoided Su Li and opened a small kitchen by themselves, and Su Li was comfortable eating alone.

The next day, Su Li got up early in the morning and went to the city to visit the ready-to-wear store.

In the past, many shops in Kyoto were more or less involved with the An family, but now that the An family has fallen, Kyoto's shops have become more varied, and in addition to the traditional Enzhao costumes, the special costumes of many other ethnic groups have also been introduced.

Su Li walked around, and when she saw some beautiful fabrics, she bought them and prepared to go back to her home to study them carefully.

I went to four or five stores like this, and when I arrived at the seventh store, a person suddenly popped out of the store, Su Li was defenseless, and was hit by that person several steps back at once, hitting the wheel of the carriage, and her back hurt, Su Li frowned fiercely.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was reckless, I accidentally bumped into the girl, and I ask the girl to forgive me!"

The person who came was busy apologizing, his voice was gentle, with a strong bookish atmosphere, and he was very polite between his gestures, but he was wearing simple subordinate clothes.

Su Li was just about to speak, and a girl wearing a light veil came out of the store, the girl was dressed in a luxurious manner, and the ornaments on her body were all exquisite, shining silver, and she was very good at a glance.

The girl didn't see Su Li, and raised her chin at the man quite arrogantly: "This girl didn't buy two more clothes, and she didn't buy you, why are you running in a panic?" ”

The man's face turned a little pale, and he subconsciously hid behind Su Li, avoiding the girl and said to Su Li: "The girl must be injured, let's send the girl to the hospital to see the injury." ”

The girl looked at Su Li when she heard this, but Su Li was also wearing a veil, she couldn't see her face clearly, her eyes were on the spot, and Su Li subconsciously replied: "My back does hurt a little, so I'll go to the hospital to take a look." ”

The man immediately received amnesty, and after sending Su Li into the carriage, he sat next to the coachman in a proper manner.

As the carriage drove away, the girl turned her head and asked the maid beside her, "Do you recognize whose carriage this is?" ”

"Miss Hui, the license plate on the carriage has the word 'Su' written on it, and it should be the county lord of Su who just returned to Beijing two days ago."

"So that's her? It's nothing special to look at. ”

The tone was utterly dismissive, and the maid couldn't help tugging at her sleeve and signaling her not to talk nonsense.

The carriage traveled all the way to the medical center, and the man jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and wanted to help Su Li, but saw Su Li jumping down by herself, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, the next moment, when she saw Su Li holding her waist in pain, she knew that she might really be injured just now, so she hurriedly ran in to find the doctor.

Su Li did hit it lightly, her back was bruised, and the doctor had several medicines, telling Su Li to have a good rest these days, and the man was blushing and white when he listened to it, and he was extremely guilty.

After the medicine was prescribed, a total of two taels of silver, the doctor asked the man to pay the money first, the man's face immediately turned red, his eyes dodged, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

With just one glance, Su Li knew what was going on, looking at what he was wearing, most of the time he had no money.

Su Li didn't break it, raised his hand and gave the silver, the man's face became redder and redder, and he stammered: "Count...... Count what I owe the girl, I ...... I'll write an IOU to the girl! ”

Seeing that the man's words and deeds don't seem to be from a poor background, he probably fell into today's situation because of the middle of the family, Su Li didn't hurt anyone's face, and asked the doctor to borrow a pen and paper for the man to write an IOU.

As soon as the man waved the ink, the words were even more beautiful, and Su Li noticed that his index finger had a thin callus, and he didn't exactly look like a reader.

After writing the IOU, the man bit his thumb and fingertips and pressed a handprint, and solemnly handed the IOU to Su Li: "Girl, my name is Zhang Wu, I am the guy from the Jingnan garment shop just now, and when I pay my salary at the end of this month, I will pay you back first!" ”

The man said solemnly, as if paying back the money is the most important thing, Su Li also probably inquired about the wages of this kind of guy today, at most two hangings a month, and he paid one hanging, and his own food and drink may not be enough.

"Your name is Zhang Wu?"

"Yes, does the girl think there's a problem?" The man asked, not knowing what he had misunderstood, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Girl, I sit upright, and I will never falsely deceive the girl!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, I just don't think the name matches your temperament. ”

Su Li explained, put the IOU away, the man's face was a little red, and he was about to speak, when a fast horse galloped over the street outside, raising dust all the way.

Su Li poked her head out and heard the person next to her whispering.

"I heard that the general of the town and Lu Guogong are back!"

"I arrived in Longxi County early this morning, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came back together, so I should only return to Beijing tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty hasn't issued a notice yet, but looking at the battle in the past few months, the border should be a war."

"Yes, the general and the prince are really amazing!"

Su Li's mind was all occupied by the discussions of the people around her, and she didn't care about the identity of the curious man, so she turned her head and said to the man: "I live in the county lord's mansion, and I will hand over the money directly to the concierge." ”

After eagerly speaking, Su Li climbed directly into the carriage and went home, and the holy decree in the palace arrived almost at the same time as her.

The next day, at the end of the day, the gate of the imperial city was opened, and the young emperor of Yuanzhao personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to stand at the gate of the city to greet the thousands of soldiers who had returned.

The horn of victory stretched from miles away, loud and heavy.

It is the sound of triumph, and it is also the roar of countless undead.
