There was already a carriage waiting outside the palace, and after Chu Yi got into the car, I consciously moved to the position where the other palace maids were standing, but I was dragged into the carriage by Chu Yi.

As soon as the carriage started slowly, Chu Yi began to close his eyes and recuperate. I stared at his side face, struggled with his thoughts for a while, and still asked, "Lord Li, will it really affect you if you take me out of the palace with such a swagger?" ”

Chu Yi closed his eyes and replied: "When the king accompanied the emperor to breakfast, the emperor said that he went to greet Concubine Qian yesterday and saw a little maid, and he liked it very much. The emperor gave you to this king in a smooth boat, and gave ten more palace maids to this king. The king wanted to refuse, but the emperor's grace was so great that he couldn't bear to excuse himself. ”

The reason? I'm going to be suspicious! The credibility is too low! Chu Yi opened his eyes, "Don't look at this king with a questioning face, and put away your inner speculation." Let's be honest with you, the emperor does often give this king beauties, but this is the first time this king has accepted it, and this king has made an exception because of you. Lord Wenheng, you didn't even thank you. ”

"Oh, thank you for the grace of King Li!" I bowed my hand and thanked him with an exaggerated expression. I muttered, "I said to repay the favor, but you are not happy!" ”

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! It's just that I think if the prince accepts a girl for the first time on this cusp, Chu Hao, no, how can Emperor Qi not be suspicious? ”

Chu Yi closed his eyes again, leaned against the wall of the car, and he kept adjusting his sitting posture, probably trying to find the most comfortable sitting position. He said slowly: "I doubt it! Otherwise, Concubine Liu wouldn't be waiting for us there. But it's very strange, this king looks at Concubine Liu's attitude, she should know that you are an assassin, but she didn't break it on the spot, and according to this king, she won't tell the emperor. In fact, even if the emperor knew that the king had brought people out, he had no evidence, and he didn't dare to do anything about the king. ”

When he had finished speaking, he said no more. I didn't dare to disturb him easily, so I had to learn from him to close his eyes.

Chu Hao didn't count the relationship between Liu Yiyi and this assassin after all calculations. Although I don't understand why Liu Yiyi shouted to arrest the assassin yesterday, I believe that she would never really want to harm me.

Feeling that the carriage had stopped peacefully, I thought I had arrived at the Liwang Mansion. was about to say thank you to Prince Li, but when he opened the curtain, he found that the carriage had stopped on the street.

Chu Yi got out of the car one step ahead of me, "Let's go!" Get out of the car! Seeing that you are grunting with hunger, this king will take you to eat. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" I originally wanted to refuse, but Chu Yi had already entered, I had to follow him, and more importantly, I was too hungry.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, he was greeted warmly by Xiao Er. "Two guest officers, are you here for dinner? Need a private room? ”

I grabbed the white and said, "No, you can help us find a quiet place."

Xiao Er led us to a corner by the window and sat down. I was bored looking through the window at the bustling street scene outside, but I stumbled upon the fact that the carriage had disappeared where it had just stopped. I propped myself up and poked my head out slightly, trying to find the carriage, but I heard Chu Yi say with a smile: "No need to look for it, Yuan Hunt will send them back first." Someone will come and pick us up later. ”

I sat up straight by myself, and then poured two cups of tea, I pushed a cup of tea in front of Chu Yi, I took a sip of tea, and said, "I didn't look for a horse, I just, just look at the scenery." ”

Chu Yi was about to speak, but I stopped him. Because I just seemed to hear someone in this restaurant talking about state affairs, not the Zhou country, but the Qi country.

The table was a little far away from us, and I kind of regretted that I had just said I wanted to sit in a quiet corner. I can only hear a few words sporadically, and it is difficult to string them together into a complete sentence.

I moved to the side, my ears were almost pricked up, and I still felt like I wasn't hearing anything.

"If you want to know the news of Zhou Guo so much, you can come and ask me."

Chu Yi suddenly spoke, and I had to withdraw my attention. "Don't work for the king, son, I'll just listen to these gossip in the market!"

"Do you think that the information in my hand is not as accurate as the market news?" Chu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

Well, I rubbed the back of my head, I couldn't let him know where I came from, I was sure my source was accurate.

When the dish was served, I grabbed my chopsticks and tried to pull out the biggest smile possible, "There are so many rumors in the market that it's really hard to identify." Now take this opportunity to bother the son to teach! Let's talk while eating. ”

I picked out a few chopsticks and asked, "The identity and status of the prince naturally know everything about the royal struggle of the Zhou State. I want to ask Childe something. Although Xia Qian, the new emperor of Zhou, is the crown prince, the grandson of the empress is not the biological mother of the prince. Xia Qian's biological mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to Xia Qian. There is a certain reason why the emperor loves Xia Qian so much is because of his love for Xia Qian's motherlessness. However, Xia Qian is a fictitious prince. His indisputable appearance made others think that he was cowardly, and most of the important ministers in the court were neutral except for my father, who supported him. When the emperor was critically ill, the government was basically in the hands of Sun Hou and Sun Fu, and Sun Hou had a son, who was the eldest prince Xiahou. In any case, I have always felt that the chances of Xia Qian becoming emperor are too small. So much so that when I heard the news of Xia Qian's accession to the throne, I didn't feel surprised, but doubted it. ”

Chu Yi put down his chopsticks and listened carefully to my question. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You really want Xia Qian to be taken from the throne?"

I glared at him, where is there such a reversal of black and white? He suddenly arched his hand to me, lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Wang meets the queen mother." ”

It's as thin as a mosquito, but it's enough to be heard between the two of us. I was jerked, "Childe, what are you crazy about?" ”

He continued to lower his voice and said, "Miss Shang is the crown princess of the Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom. Otherwise, General Shang would not have gone out of Beijing as an official. Xia Qian is also a person who values affection, and he actually announced to the world on the day of the enthronement ceremony that he would crown you as the queen. ”

The smile on my face was gone. The matter of the crown princess, except for me who heard it by mistake, only the emperor's uncle and close attendants knew. Chu Yi's hand, how far did it stretch? "When two countries are opposed, there must be a careful work. It's not easy to sit as calmly as you and I do today. Childe's life-saving grace and relief feelings today will be remembered for the rest of his life. ”

Chu Yi also put away his laughter, and said seriously: "There are many former courtiers in Zhou and Qi, and they are basically in Mingzhe to protect themselves, but there are also many people who choose to stand in line. Ling Zun is a loyal person, so he is on Xia Qian's side. But as the girl just said, most people think that Xiahou is likely to sit on the throne. The situation in Zhou is really unfavorable for Xia Qian. After Ling Zun left Beijing, he put Xia Qian in a widowhood. However, when the struggle for power arose, three people helped secure Xia Qian's position. ”

I was listening to it when he stopped for tea. I asked urgently, "Which three?" ”

"Miss Shang grew up in Chang'an since she was a child, and she should understand these three people, one is the first emperor of Zhou, the second is King Jing of Zhou, and the third is Han Ji, the right minister."

In my mind, I tried to match these three names to real people. It's been too long since I've been out of Beijing, and I have a headache when I recall, so I pressed my forehead, "The emperor and Jun Mo are good, Jun Mo, as a general, will stand on the emperor's side." I really can't figure it out, why did Uncle Han suddenly stand in line? I didn't have a very deep influence on him, but I met a few times when I attended the banquet with my father, and I had the impression that Uncle Han was a person who didn't ask about the world. According to the secret report from Beijing, the emperor's uncle had suffered a stroke very early, so the government would be controlled by Sun Fu. Sun Fu has the support of the Queen Mother, how did they win? ”

I have indeed been puzzled by this question for a long time, and after I finished asking in one breath, I waited for his answer, only to see him eating indifferently. He raised his head and said, "You have too many problems and too complicated, so eat well first." ”

"Oh!" I can only eat obediently. The food was delicious, but I ate it tastelessly.
