Chu Huan waited until the two maids walked out more than ten steps away, and then followed behind like ghosts, silently.

He was also puzzled in his heart, listening to the maid say that a man needs hot water four or five times a day, he was quite curious, and what was even more strange was that in this governor's mansion, except for Qiao Mingtang, the highest status was of course Mrs. Qiao, but listening to the maid's meaning, Mrs. Qiao seemed to be very jealous of that man, which made Chu Huan very puzzled.

The two maids carried wooden barrels, passed through the two courtyard gates, and finally arrived at the outside of a courtyard, the night was dark and the wind was high, Chu Huan looked from afar, and saw that the courtyard was surrounded by high walls, and the walls were glazed tiles, and what surprised him even more was that just outside the Governor's Mansion, Chu Huan felt that the guards of the Governor's Mansion had more than doubled than before, and he only thought that after Qiao Mingtang left, he was very concerned about the safety of Mrs. Qiao, so he specially deployed heavy troops in the Governor's Mansion, and that was fine, but at this moment, Chu Huan saw that it was in this Governor's Mansion, outside the courtyard in front, It turned out to be heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security was extremely strict.

The two maids arrived at the gate of the courtyard, but Chu Huan saw that Mrs. Qiao, who had not been seen for a long time, was waiting outside the courtyard gate, Mrs. Qiao did not change much, but she looked a little nervous, and when she saw the bucket coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked the maid to put the bucket outside the courtyard, the courtyard door was half hidden, and the maid was not allowed to enter, Mrs. Qiao asked the two maids to retreat, entered the courtyard, and soon came out, and the two maids came out of the courtyard gate and carried the bucket in, but Mrs. Qiao did not follow up, but stood outside the door, gently took the courtyard door, and then left along a path.

Chu Huan was surprised when she saw Mrs. Qiao's actions, Mrs. Qiao's actions were obviously very careful, she was the master of the Governor's Mansion, up and down the mansion, everyone could only be cautious when serving her, how could she turn around and become so cautious, frowning slightly, at this time, she couldn't see the situation in the courtyard clearly, and saw a big tree not far away, with lush branches and leaves, growing extremely tall, and immediately approached the past quietly, like a spirit ape, on the book, covered by the leaves, at this time condescending, but faintly saw the situation in the courtyard.

The courtyard is wide, and the decoration is also very exquisite, Chu Huan looked down from above, only to see that there were several lanterns hanging in the courtyard, the lights were shining, although the courtyard was not as bright as day, but it was also very clear, only to see that in the courtyard, there was a chair, a person with long hair fluttering, dressed in white, was sitting on the chair at the moment, from the edge of the chair, there was a wooden plate, two maids were carrying the wooden barrel that had just been taken in, pouring water into the wooden plate.

On the side of the wooden barrel, a woman in a cyan dress was holding a delicate small wooden box in her hand, and a porcelain spoon in the other hand, she was picking something from the box and putting it into the wooden plate.

Mrs. Liuli is beautiful and fragrant, Chu Huan still remembers her figure and appearance, although the lights in the courtyard are not very bright, Chu Huan is condescending, the distance is a little far, and he can't see the woman's face clearly, but the silhouette of the body, Chu Huan recognized it as Liuli at a glance, after all, Liuli's demeanor and temperament are peerless, it is difficult for anyone to compare, and even more on those gentle movements, Chu Huan must be Mrs. Liuli.

Thinking that the woman was Mrs. Liuli, Chu Huan's eyes immediately moved to the man in white, and when he saw the man in white sitting in a wheelchair, he changed color even more, and thought to himself: "It turns out that the prince has actually arrived in Xishan!" ”

He was very surprised, although he already knew about the chaos in the capital, but to what extent the chaos was, Chu Huan was not clear, he knew that the rebellion in Beijing was caused by refugees near the capital, and he also thought in his heart, even if there were many refugees, but after all, they were all a group of unarmed ordinary people, and there were always guards in the capital, even if the refugees rushed into the city and caused a big riot, it would not really destroy the capital of Luo'an.

And Chu Huan also knows that in his heart, the prince is not a mediocre person, when the capital encounters difficulties, the prince will always come up with a way to deal with it, even if the capital is really chaotic, the prince can be pushed into the imperial city, Chu Huan did not think that the prince would leave the capital, after all, the capital is the heart of the empire, the emperor is on a northern tour, the prince is in charge of the capital, even if he encounters a difficult situation, the prince is not allowed to leave Kyoto.

The emperor toured the north, and the crown prince was like the lord of the capital, and if even the prince left, the capital was ownerless, almost as if the heart of the empire was penetrated, and the impact could be imagined.

It's just that he didn't expect that the prince still left the capital.

Seeing the crown prince, Chu Huan frowned, and at this time it had been determined that the shape of the capital was much worse, but he was afraid that what he expected would be much worse.

He didn't know what Madame Liuli had put in the wooden plate, but he saw the maidservant serving the prince put her feet in the wooden plate.

The prince's leg disease, the government and the opposition all know, Mrs. Liuli has been by the prince's side, one of the biggest tasks is to help treat the leg disease, Chu Huan knew that Mrs. Liuli was very likely to be helping the prince treat the leg disease at this time, but he didn't know if the prince's leg disease could really recover one day, now that the Qin country has fallen, the building will fall, but I don't know how much the prince can do even if he really recovers his leg disease.

Chu Huan hid in the tree, thoughtfully, and suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures walking towards the gate of the courtyard, the person in front of him was agile, and he seemed to be a good martial artist, behind him, followed by a slender figure, and faintly heard the person in front of him say loudly: "Report to Your Highness, the messenger sent to Anyi has returned, and is waiting for His Highness to summon him!" ”

Chu Huan frowned, secretly thinking that the prince had sent someone to Anyi.

Anyi is in the northwest of Xishan Road, bordering Xishan Road, Chu Huan once went to Anyi as a messenger in order to confiscate the family wealth of Huang Ju, the Duke of Anguo, and had a good relationship with Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi.

Chu Huan secretly thought that at this time, the prince sent people to Anyi, which was nothing more than to transfer troops from Anyi to the capital to quell the chaos.

Although the southeast and even the northwest of the empire are no longer under the control of the empire, but the northern provinces are still under the command of the empire, although there is no lack of banditry in each province, Jinling has even rebelled against officers and soldiers, but there is no rebellion in Xishan, Anyi, Hujin and even Hexi, Liaodong, and Fuhai, after the Jinling rebellion, the southwest of Sichuanzhong and Nanyue have been blocked by roads, and there are also bandits.

Chu Huan knew that Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Xishan Province, was originally a member of the princelings, and he was able to become the governor of Xishan Province, and it was also the power of the princelings, and it was not incomprehensible that the prince appeared in Xishan, Qiao Mingtang's Xishan soldiers and horses were already stationed on the front line, and the prince mobilized troops and horses from Anyi, and prepared to enter the Beijing division together with the Xishan soldiers and horses to quell the chaos, which is also an inevitable thing at present.

Chu Huan saw the prince waving his hand and whispered something, Chu Huan couldn't hear clearly, a maidservant had already arrived at the door, opened the courtyard door, and led the messenger into the courtyard.

After the envoy entered the courtyard, he knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"How's the situation over there in Anyi?" The prince sat back in his chair, his feet in the basin, the water in which the water was hot, and his feet did not move.

The envoy said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, I haven't seen Yuan Chongshang!" ”

The crown prince frowned, and the man had already explained: "When the humble official arrived at Anyi, Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi, had already left Anyi and went to Hexi ......!" ”

"To Hexi?" The prince frowned and said, "What is he doing in Hexi?" ”

The envoy said: "Your Highness doesn't know, I heard that Hexi is about to have a big birthday, so I want to prepare a birthday ceremony and send someone to summon Yuan Chongshang to Hexi to meet him." ”

The prince's brows were locked, he didn't seem to know about it, and said in a deep voice: "Sacrifice to the heavens? ”

"Yes!" The envoy said: "When the lowly post arrived in Anyi, Yuan Chongshang had already left Taiyuan Mansion, so the lowly post could only come back and report to the prince. ”

The prince looked at Mrs. Liuli beside him and asked, "Is there this news outside, my father is going to hold a birthday ceremony in Hexi?" ”

Liuli frowned and said: "I haven't heard of it, maybe the saint doesn't want to be too alarmed, so he didn't ......make a big fanfare at this time!" ”

"Father's birthday......!" The crown prince said thoughtfully: "Yes, in more than half a month, it will be my father's birthday...... Sent people to Anyi, why didn't anyone come to Xishan? ”

Liuli said softly: "Maybe the Holy Lord knew that Lord Qiao sent troops to quell the rebellion, so he didn't send anyone here." ”

The prince raised his hand and motioned for the envoy to retreat first, and then motioned for the two maids to retreat, and after they retreated, the prince frowned and said: "At this time, it seems that the father and emperor want to hold a sacrifice to the heavens in Hexi, it seems that it is not the time. ”

Liuli said: "Since it is the meaning of the saint, naturally no one can resist the will." After a pause, he said quietly: "Yuan Chongshang is not in Anyi, so it will be difficult to mobilize Anyi's soldiers and horses." ”

The prince said lightly: "Yuan Chongshang is not here, the palace can still go to Anyi in person to transfer troops, although the palace is not in the capital, it is already the ...... of the Great Qin's prison!" ”

"Your Highness......!" Liuli sighed lightly, and said to herself: "Are you blaming the concubine in your heart?" ”

The prince frowned and said, "Why do you say that? ”

"After leaving Beijing, although you didn't say a word, ...... But the concubine knows that it is against your will to make her own decision and let people take you out of the capital, and you want to stay in the capital and sit in the overall situation......! Liuli's beautiful face carried a hint of distress: "But the concubine was only worried that you would be in danger at that time, so ......!" ”

The prince stretched out his hand, took Mrs. Liuli's silky little hand, and said gently: "Liuli, don't say such things again, I know your thoughts, you are worried that I will be harm......ed by people if I stay in the capital!" He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, what you think is not wrong, even if I stay in the capital, can I really turn things around?" There is a shortage of soldiers and food, the mountains are shaking, I don't have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, the country is like this, if I want to turn things around, I don't have such a great ability......! ”
