The sharp fist wind whistled, Chu Huaian hurriedly rolled to the bed with Su Li in his arms to avoid it, turned his head and was about to shout, the person in his arms was suddenly grabbed by someone and dragged forward, Chu Huaian subconsciously hugged Su Li's waist and didn't let go.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Lu Ji's tense face came into view.

"Bold! What is wrong with trespassing into the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night? ”

Chu Huai'an roared and hugged Su Li tighter, Lu Ji pursed his lips with a cold expression: "She is drunk, Master Hou is taking advantage of the danger of others, is it a gentleman's doing?" ”

“……”

Take advantage of the danger? Lao Tzu doesn't, don't talk nonsense without evidence!

Chu Huai'an was speechless, realizing that the buttons on Su Li's chest were still open, and hurriedly pulled the quilt to wrap her.

"Let's go out and talk!"

Chu Huai'an raised his chin and signaled to Lu Ji, Su Li was not very comfortable, and wanted to tear off the quilt with a hum, Lu Ji let go and patted her head: "It's okay, sleep." ”

Even if he was drunk and unconscious, his voice had a strange soothing effect on Su Li, and Su Li really stopped moving and fell asleep honestly.

Chu Huai'an angrily slapped away his hand on Su Li's head, pulled Lu Halberd out of the room.

"Say, what do you want to do when you sneak into the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night?"

Chu Huai'an raised his eyebrows and asked, leaning on the pillar with his hands around his chest, unconsciously exuding a bit of smugness.

He didn't stand at this station, and he frowned when he saw Lu Ji, if he was placed in the army, I am afraid that he would have swept it over with one leg a long time ago.

"I came tonight to discuss with Hou Ye about welcoming the envoys, but I didn't expect Hou Ye to be such a young man."

"You're Xiaoxiao! The clothes were untied by herself when she was drunk. Chu Huai'an rolled his eyes angrily, Lu Ji was not angry, and retorted: "If I don't come tonight, Master Hou promises that he won't think about Ah Li?" ”

It's no wonder if you don't want to! Ye is not sick, young and energetic, think about what's wrong?

Chu Huai'an touched the tip of his nose absently, and stopped continuing the topic: "You just said that you wanted to discuss with me about welcoming the envoys, what do you want to discuss?" Didn't the proclaimer make it very clear today, you, listen to me! ”

Chu Huai'an pointed to Lu Ji and said, Lu Ji nodded in approval: "I will listen to Hou Ye, but I hope that after I go on the road, Hou Ye will give me a certain amount of autonomy, and if there is a sudden critical situation, I can make a response in time." ”

"Oh, no problem."

Chu Huai'an nodded in agreement, Lu Ji was a little stunned, he didn't seem to expect the matter to be solved so easily, and he thought that it would take a lot of words to do it.

"What kind of eyes are you? Ye seems to be the kind of person who will declare personal vendettas? Chu Huai'an was about to explode when Lu Ji saw it, but Lu Ji had such an idea, and couldn't help but apologize: "It's me who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, please forgive the Hou Ye." ”

“……”

How can a villain admit that he is a villain so openly?

Chu Huai'an was speechless, turned around and prepared to enter the house, seeing that Lu Ji was still standing and not leaving, he raised his chin: "Anything else?" ”

"Ali is drunk, I'm here to guard her."

“……”

Are so many guards in the Hou Mansion drinking porridge? Do you need to be here to keep watch? You don't worry about Lao Tzu!

Chu Huai'an was aggrieved, raised his hand and attacked Lu Ji with a hand knife, Lu Ji had rich experience in actual combat, and dealt with it calmly, and the two quickly added their fists and feet in the courtyard, and the tiger was vigorous.

Considering Chu Huai'an's identity, Lu Ji just defended and did not attack, and soon fell behind, and was forced to outside the courtyard gate by Chu Huai'an with a high kick, Lu Ji raised his hand to block, Chu Huai'an pressed down hard, and people also came to the front and asked: "How did you meet her five years ago?" ”

"She wanted to steal the war horse, and I caught her."

Lu Ji replied, pushing hard, Chu Huai'an retreated with a backflip, and then punched Lu Ji in front of the door: "How did those injuries on her back come about?" ”

"Caused by the Hu people!"

Lu Ji tilted his head and met Chu Huai'an's fist with a punch.

The fists of both of them were bulging, and there was a dull sound when they struck each other, as if there was a light sound of dislocation of the hand bones, and they left with one blow, and the two of them took two steps back at the same time to stabilize their bodies.

Although Chu Huai'an has not really indulged in wine over the years, his physical fitness is not as good as Lu Ji's, and after a few moves, his breathing is a little unstable, but he did not show his flaws, and he rose into the air with his feet, Lu Ji raised his hand to block, and Chu Huai'an came with a series of kicks.

Lu Ji was forced to take four or five steps back, and Chu Huai'an kicked Lu Ji on Lu Ji's arm for the last time, and one took advantage of his strength to take off and the other side kick pressed on Lu Ji's shoulder.

Lu Ji was pressed to the side and bent slightly, Chu Huai'an held his breath, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there no one in the huge Zhenbei Army?" Asking a woman to go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

This fire has been burning in his heart for several months, five years ago he was confused, and it was his fault that he didn't guard and protect Su Li in the past five years, but Lu Ji is a big man, and he can even guard the desert in the north of the country, can't he protect a Su Li?

He has fire in his heart, but Lu Ji may not have it in his heart.

Stimulated by the last question, Lu Ji no longer had any worries, straightened his waist a little bit, shot extremely quickly, grabbed Chu Huai'an's belt and lifted him up and threw him out, Chu Huai'an relied on his waist strength to turn around in the air and landed, before he could stand firmly, Lu Ji's fist was already in front of him.

"Grass!" Chu Huai'an scolded, his cheekbones were hit hard, half of his face was so painful that he lost consciousness, and his brain was a little uncomfortable.

"Since Master Hou cares so much, what did he do to her five years ago to force her to be cornered?"

Lu Ji asked rhetorically, putting his elbow against Chu Huai'an's neck and imprisoning him on the pillar at the door.

"Fight, fight, why do you still hit your face, how can Ming'er let Ye go out to meet people?"

Chu Huai'an yelled angrily, he was asked so weakly, and he didn't have the confidence to go through those accounts with Lu Ji again, pushed Lu Ji away and touched his face in distress, and he didn't know if he had broken his appearance.

The tense atmosphere just now dissipated without a trace, Lu Ji withdrew his hand, and couldn't help but treat Chu Huai'an differently, it was rumored that this Xiaoyao Marquis had no special skills except for his outstanding appearance, but now it seems that these rumors are not true.

At least Xiaoyaohou's fist and foot kung fu is still passable.

"The grass people are out of shape, please forgive the Hou Ye."

Lu Ji took the initiative to apologize, and Chu Huaian spat him: "Come on, don't come to that false set with your master, you have long wanted to beat your master, right?" ”

"Don't hide it from Master Hou, it's true." Everyone has been beaten, and Lu Ji has nothing to hide anymore.

What happened in Beijing five years ago, Su Li refused to say more, but it was not difficult for Lu Ji to investigate.

Lu Ji was far away at the border pass, and he couldn't find too many details, Su Li ruined her reputation, and Chu Huai'an hired Su Li to carry Su Li into the mansion as a concubine with great fanfare, but everyone knew about it.

What qualifications do you have to marry Su Li as a concubine? To whom will you be humiliated?

"Lu Ji, you can do it! This punch master has written it down! ”

Chu Huai'an bared his teeth and said, pulled Lu Halberd to the treasury to find a medicine to put on it, and brought out two jars of old wine.

The people in the kitchen were all rested, and there was no food to eat, so the two of them sat on the roof and drank with the wine jar.

After a few sips of good wine, the pain on his face was relieved, Chu Huaian raised his hand and poked Lu Ji's arm: "How is it, it's not worse than Saibei's wine, right?" ”

Lu Ji sat on the roof with his back straight, looking at the peaceful night in Kyoto, the corners of his lips rose slightly: "Dad, don't worry, my son will come to pick you up and return to Beijing soon." ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

General Lu, you don't know how to drink when you co-author? Then you were so arrogant just now, it made me nervous, and I was afraid that the amount of alcohol would also lose to you!

Chu Huai'an slandered, and wanted to take advantage of Lu Ji's drunkenness to say something, Lu Ji coldly threw the wine jar in his hand off the roof and fell with a crisp sound.

“……”

The good wine that has been stored in the cellar for three years is only two jars in total! When you are drunk, you get drunk, what is wrong with smashing the wine jar?

Just thinking about it, Lu Ji stood up suddenly, and shouted out two extremely long and charming tunes: "The cold moon in the border pass reflects a city, and a pot of spirits cuts three levels~~"

Lu Ji trained thousands of soldiers in the army, this roar came from the majestic mountains and rivers, and the dogs within a radius of hundreds of meters barked wildly, and many people quickly lit the lamp, Chu Huaian hurriedly covered Lu Ji's mouth and brought people into the house.

The guard on duty at night in the Hou Mansion rushed over when he heard the sound and asked through the door, "Master Hou, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, Ye just yelled twice when he was happy."

Chu Huai'an said, throwing Lu Ji to the ground.

This man was accustomed to sleeping on the hard bed board of the Saibei military camp, and he didn't even feel that there was anything wrong, he turned over and lay down and continued to hum just now, and after a while, a clear female voice hummed with him.

Chu Huai'an looked at Su Li, who was wrapped like a cicada chrysalis on the bed, looked at Lu Halberd lying on the ground, and then touched the cheekbones that were swollen and painful from the beating, and there was some pain in the egg inexplicably.

What kind of mess does he owe?

……

On the second day, Su Li was awakened by the sunlight shining through the window, because she drank too much yesterday, her head was still a little dizzy, and she stared at the bed tent for a long time, but she didn't find out where she was now.

"Awake?"

There was a faint sound in his ears, and when he turned around, Leng Buding saw Chu Huai'an sitting on the edge of the bed wrapped in a thin quilt, with a half-purple swollen face and black and blue eyes, Su Li was so frightened that a carp sat up, and then collided with Lu Ji, who was sitting on the ground and had just woken up with a hangover.

Su Li: "......"

Lu Ji: "......"

Chu Huai'an: "Do you two remember what happened last night?" ”

“……”

“……”

The situation seems to be a bit complicated, and I am afraid that I need to have breakfast to calm down.

Lu Ji's punch last night was very heavy, and today half of Chu Huai'an's face was so swollen that he basically couldn't look at it, and when he was eating breakfast, Chu Huai'an stared at Su Li and Lu Ji with such a face, Lu Ji didn't move like a mountain, but Su Li was stared at a little unable to swallow.

"Master Hou, your face ...... Do you want to warm up with eggs? ”

"Humph!"

Chu Huai'an sneered, grabbed a crystal xiaolongbao and bit it viciously.

Su Li's eyelids jumped, and she was about to speak, when Lu Ji put a bun into her bowl: "I beat the person, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"If you say it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant?"

Chu Huai'an was unhappy to slap the table, Lu Ji lazily lifted his eyes: "I came to the Hou Mansion last night, and I happened to see the Hou Ye's hand ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Ji deliberately paused, Chu Huai'an stared at him fiercely, and the corners of his tense mouth leaked a trace of nervousness: "You say it well, what is the master's hand doing?" ”

"Master Hou's hands are itchy, I had a discussion with him, and I accidentally punched him in the face, Lord Hou has a lot, and he won't care about me."

When the words came to his mouth, Lu Ji turned a corner, and put on a high hat for Chu Huai'an by the way, but Chu Huai'an didn't eat this set, and tapped the bowl with chopsticks: "Is the master talking about the things on the face?" What the master is talking about is that the two of you sing and sing in harmony, and the noise is so noisy that you haven't slept well all night! ”

“……”

“……”

No wonder I wake up in the morning and feel a little sore throat.

Lu Ji was used to being with a group of rough old men, and he didn't care much about Chu Huai'an's two accusations.

Su Li still rarely sings in front of others, and at this time she can't wait to bury her face in the bowl, Bai Ying's earlobes are dyed with two points, and she is as beautiful as a valuable blood jade.

Chu Huai'an saw that his hands were itchy, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch it, but he was caught by Lu Ji's afterglow, and a chopstick hit the back of his hand.

"Smack!"

Su Li raised her head when she heard the sound, only to see a phantom shadow of chopsticks dangling in front of her eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, there are flies." Lu Ji replied casually, Chu Huai'an blocked a red mark on the back of his hand and looked resentful: "If you don't change your chopsticks after beating flies, you don't feel disgusting?" ”

"No."

“……”

A certain marquis, who was originally not very good-tempered, felt that he would go farther and farther on the manic road and never return.

After breakfast, people from the palace rumored that Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji had entered the palace to face the saint, and Su Li only learned about the Hu people's envoys entering Beijing at that time.

As soon as something like this happened to the An family, the Hu people were about to enter Beijing, no matter how you look at it, there were strange things, and the original palace chaos had already mixed up with a lot of Hu people, and this time the Hu people had to be cautious when they entered Beijing.

Su Li came out of the Xiaoyao Mansion and went directly to the Guogong Mansion, and Lu Guocheng was teaching Su Zhan to play with the spinning top.

Lu Guogong was very strict with Lu Ji back then, but now that he is older, he gradually feels a little guilty, especially after this incident, he regrets letting Lu Ji go his own way, and he is extremely tolerant of Su Zhan, not as strict as Lu Ji.

"Mother! Do you think I'm powerful? ”

Su Zhan asked happily, he liked this fresh toy very much, and with the halberd on his back, he still liked to call Su Li's mother.

"Awesome."

Su Li praised it, Su Zhan is a child's heart, the little whip is getting more and more vigorous, Lu Guogong asked him to play on the side, beckoned to Su Li and walked to the side of the stone table and sat down.

In the end, he is old, his breath is a little unstable, and his spirit is very good.

"I asked Your Majesty to go to the border pass, and I will leave in three days, and the Hou Ye and the stinky boy will set off to meet the envoys in ten days, and I will leave twenty more people for you before leaving, you and Ah Zhan are in Kyoto, pay more attention to safety, don't be bullied."

Now Lu Xiao regards Su Li as half of his daughter-in-law, and naturally he does not shy away from speaking, Su Li suddenly knew that he was going to the border pass, and the whole person was still a little unable to come back to his senses: "Lord Guogong is going to the border pass?" ”

"Didn't the stinky boy explain the situation to you? So what did he do last night? ”

Su Li: "......"

What he did was probably not quite what you thought and expected.

Chu Huai'an's complaint in the morning came to mind, and Su Li was silent before returning to the topic: "How long are you going to go to the border pass?" Did Your Majesty say when you would be able to return? ”

"Wait for the envoy group to leave Beijing this time, and then Your Majesty will have an excuse to reinstate the stinky boy official." Lu Xiao said lightly that he didn't have much feeling about going to the border this time.

It was a place that had long been integrated into his blood and bones, and even if he had been in the capital for a few years, he could still go back to battle and kill the enemy!

Su Li nodded, this is justified.

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiao stroked his beard with a smile again: "The old man's trip should be to go back to see those old friends back then, but this time he left Beijing, there is still a wish unfulfilled, Ah Li is so smart, do you know what the old man is doing?" ”

“…… Lord Guogong may wish to wait until he returns to Beijing this time to fulfill this wish. Su Li knew what he was going to say as soon as he guessed, and he didn't want to break the Tai Chi.

Lu Xiao sighed: "Ah Li, the old man knows that this stinky boy is stubborn by nature, the death of Ah Zhan's biological mother is a dead knot between you, no one forces him, he can keep that knot for a lifetime, the old man can see that you are interested in him, if you get married, he will definitely be good to you......"

"The general has always treated me very well."

Su Li said softly, lifting her eyes and looking at Lu Xiao seriously: "I can't say much about the matter between the general and Ah Zhan's biological mother, Lord Guogong doesn't have to worry, I know that the general has an obsession in his heart, I didn't think about getting anything from the general when I was at the border, and after these things are over, I will naturally stay with Ah Zhan and the general as before." ”

"Then you ......"

Lu Xiao frowned, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Su Li: "Lord Guogong, how did I leave Beijing five years ago, you should probably have a rough idea, it is not easy for people who have fallen once in the abyss to survive, and they don't care so much about giving and getting, I am willing to follow the general, and it has nothing to do with whether he marries me or not." ”

Lu Xiao was speechless by Su Li's words, and it took a long time before he snorted angrily: "This stinky boy doesn't know how to cherish it now, and he will regret it if he is snatched away in the future!" ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the Hu people are full of suspicions when they enter Beijing, Lord Guogong must take care of this trip and be careful in everything!" Su Li bowed solemnly.

Three days later, Lu Guogong Lu Xiao received the seal of the general of the town and led two hundred elite soldiers to the border pass.

The Lord Guogong, who was more than half a hundred years old, put on a golden armor again after a few years, with a silver cloak on his shoulders, and a tiger embroidered with gold thread on the cloak, and his majesty did not diminish in the slightest.

Ten days later, Chu Huai'an, Marquis of Xiaoyao, led 40 elite soldiers to the border pass to welcome the Hu envoys into Beijing.

On that day, Xiaoyao Hou wore a very well-fitting ink-colored riding suit, with arrow sleeves like blades, and a long body like a pine poplar, hitting the street, with a handsome and extraordinary face, I don't know how many people's eyes were attracted.

Everyone also found that Xiaoyao Hou had a lieutenant general beside him, dressed similarly to him, his bronzed skin glowing in the sun, his eyebrows were as sharp as knives, exuding a fierce momentum that was diametrically opposed to Xiaoyao Hou.

Lu Guogong and Xiaoyao Hou left Beijing one after another, and the huge capital seemed to be deserted all of a sudden.

No one knew that on the eve of Xiaoyaohou's departure from Beijing, he had secretly infiltrated the county lord's mansion and put two pieces of jade and a note on Su Li's dresser.

One of the jade pendants is the white jade that he has been wearing, and the other jade is ground into an oval droplet, but the size of a small thumb, I don't know how much effort the craftsman spent on the polishing, but he also carved a pear blossom on the jade, which is very exquisite, connected with a red rope, and it is just right to wear on the hand.

Su Li put away the two pieces of jade and put them in a purse and wore them with her.

After a few days, Su Li found a school to send Su Zhan to study, he has learned a lot of things in the border camp in recent years, but there is still a lack of literacy and hyphenation, so it is time to make up for it.

Su Zhan has been very obedient since he returned to Beijing, Su Li forgot his previous style of being a little bully at the border, but he didn't expect Su Zhan to beat a child on the third day of going to school.

Wu Da and Wu Er have been following Su Zhan closely, Wu Er personally came back to inform Su Li, when Su Li rushed away, Su Zhan was stopped by the two boys in the school, still yelling at Mr. like a little wolf dog, and the child who was beaten by him hid behind Mr., and he didn't dare to cry timidly.

"What's wrong?"

Su Li asked in a low voice, seeing that the two boys twisted Su Zhan's hand and pulled him behind him by the collar of Su Zhan.

"Miss Su, just now in class, Su Zhan, this kid doesn't know what's wrong, he suddenly rushed over and tore up other people's books, and beat people, no matter how he pulled, you can't pull it, look at what he has beaten everyone into?"

Mr. Xuetang pulled out the child behind him and showed it to Su Li, Su Zhan was indeed too ruthless, the child was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was an inch-long bloody wound on his eyebrow bone, I don't know if there will be a scar in the future.

"Sir, I'm sorry, can I take Su Zhan to the side and talk for a while?"

"County Lord, please."

"Mr. Xie." Su Li thanked him and pulled Su Zhan towards the bamboo forest next to the school.

There was no one else, Su Li first lifted Su Zhan's clothes to check if he was injured, Su Zhan was a little itchy by her, and giggled: "Mother, I'm fine, no one can beat me in a fight!" ”

Seeing that he was still smiling, without the slightest intention of repentance, Su Li's face sank: "Do you think you are very capable of fighting?" Did you see that you bleed someone's head? If he had a scar on his face, it would be for a lifetime! ”

“……”

Su Zhan pursed his lips and didn't speak, his usual stubbornness appeared on his little face, like a little wolf cub, without the slightest intention of admitting defeat.

"What's that look on your face? Defy? Think you didn't do anything wrong? ”

Su Li asked, her voice was cold, she had seen Su Zhan disobey discipline, this child had seen life and death killing at a young age, and many things in his bones were different from other children.

If he develops such a habit since he was a child, he doesn't know what kind of trouble will happen when he is older!

As soon as Su Li's attitude was tough, Su Zhan became aggrieved, he blinked his eyes, and Douda's tears rolled out.

"It was he who first talked nonsense and insulted his mother, I ...... I didn't do anything wrong! ”

"What did he call me?"

Su Li asked, Su Zhan pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The children in the school are about the same size as Su Zhan, Su Li has only met them a few times, and it is understandable that the children have conflicts with each other and hurt people, but it is not normal for Su Zhan to beat people because of insulting Su Li.

Su Li knew that she couldn't ask more words from his mouth, so she handed him over to Wu Da to look at, and went to find the child who was beaten.

The kid was scared of being beaten, and grabbed the hem of Mr. Xuetang's clothes, Su Li raised her hand and rubbed his head: "Don't be afraid, it's Ah Zhan who is wrong, I have already told him that I will not beat people casually in the future." ”

The child looked at Su Li hesitantly, still afraid, Su Li grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds from his sleeve pocket and gave it to him, and the child finally let down some of his guard.

"Ah Zhan said that you said something bad before beating you first, can you tell me what you said?"

As soon as Su Li asked, a trace of weakness flashed in the child's eyes, and his mouth was about to cry, Su Li hurriedly took a silk handkerchief to help him wipe his tears: "Don't cry, just tell me those words as they are, I know that you are a good boy, those bad words, must have been taught by others to say them, right?" What does the person who taught you those words look like? ”

Su Li's voice was soft, which quickly calmed the child's emotions, and the child thought for a while and whispered: "Yes...... It was a very tall uncle in black who told me, and he gave ...... I bought me a string of sugar gourds and said...... Say that you were kidnapped by mountain bandits, and you don't know how to ...... How many people have slept with him, and he also killed his second sister, he is a lonely star, destined to be lonely for a lifetime! ”

"Where did you meet that uncle?"

Su Li anxiously asked about Su Zhaoyue's murder, and she didn't make a noise after returning to Beijing, but only told Green Sleeves. Now that the An family, the Su family, and the Zhang family are in exile, and they are dead, they will use this matter to maliciously slander Su Li, and there is clearly only one An Jue who has absconded!

"That's it...... It's right down the street! ”

"Is that uncle a broken arm?"

"It's not."

The child shook his head, and was anxiously asked by Su Li, and his mouth was about to cry again.

Su Li stood up suddenly, An Jue was seriously injured, and now he is wanted, the risk of being exposed to staying in the city is too great, most of them have already left the capital, and the people who talk to this child are most likely the eyeliner he left in the capital.

An family is gone, what else can he do?

Su Li frowned, comforted the child a few more words, and left the school hall and walked straight towards Dali Temple.

Although the clues provided by this child are few, a careful investigation may be helpful in the review of the case of the An family's rebellion.

However, halfway to the road, several carriages rushed to Dali Temple, the carriage was hung with a yellow curtain cloth, the car bell jingled, clearly came out of the palace.

What happened, why were the people in the palace in such a hurry to rush to Dali Temple?

Su Li twisted her eyebrows, quickened her steps, and when she was about to arrive at Dali Temple, she saw Zhao Hanzhuo riding a horse.

"Lord Zhao, what happened?"

Su Li asked loudly, Zhao Hanzhuo urgently pulled the reins of the horse, and his face was gloomy: "Half an hour ago, An Wuwu fell ill in prison, and the palace sent an imperial doctor to treat him, just now, he died!" ”

An worry-free is dead!

A person who has been carefully arranged for three years, planned a shocking palace change, and threatened to ask the emperor to abdicate and replace him, has been in prison for only a few months, and he has died like this!

"But someone poisoned it?"

Su Li asked in surprise, Zhao Hanzhuo's face became even more solemn, and he only said: "These days, this official eats and lives with him." ”

If someone is poisoned, there should not be only An Wufu who has an accident.

Could it be that peace and security will not be long before you die?

But a person who knows that his life is short, why does he go to great lengths to launch a palace change?
