"You must not be presumptuous!" Eldest Sun Chi patted Jiang Yiran on the shoulder and said, "You are a good girl, we all know it!" ”

"Big brother, do you really think of me like that?" Jiang Yiran raised her tearful eyes and pulled the sleeve of Changsun Chi, "As long as my eldest brother looks at me like this, I will already be very happy in my heart!" ”

Eldest Sun Chi's heart moved, he thought for a while and said: "If you want to stay in the Hou Mansion, you can also go back to your master, as long as your master speaks, there is no reason for your mother to force you to stay!" ”

"Don't!" Jiang Yiran shook his head violently and shouted with a crying voice, "Big brother, don't drive me away, don't drive me away!" ”

"I didn't mean that, I didn't drive you away!" Jiang Yiran suddenly cried, which made Changsun Chi a little at a loss, he touched his body, he didn't bring anything like a handkerchief, just wiped her tears with his sleeve.

Jiang Yiran suddenly threw herself into the arms of the eldest grandson Chi: "If I leave the Hou Mansion, I will never see my eldest brother again!" No matter what I will suffer in the Hou Mansion, I will not leave, as long as I can see my eldest brother, I am already satisfied! ”

Changsun Chi's body stiffened, and he didn't push it away when Jiang Yiran held him, he sighed softly, he felt pity for this girl in his heart, and there was no way to push him out of his arms no matter what, this was the first and last time, he told himself in his heart.

Although the King of Chu does not have to enter the palace, Zhao Ling, as the prince of the family, also has people who have to move around, and Jiang Xiaoyu is similar, and there are many relatives who come to the Jiang family these days.

This day came to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and these days, Zhao Yan, as the commander of the army, accompanied the soldiers who could not go home in the military camp to celebrate the New Year, and did not return to the capital until today.

And on this day, a prince in the capital committed suicide and left a suicide note, admitting to the murder of the king of Chu, the poisoning of the king of Chu seems to be understood, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a beginning.

This prince and the eldest grandson's family seem to be unable to get together, but the queen mother understands in her heart that he and the eldest grandson Hu were righteous brothers many years ago, but only a few people know about this relationship.

Some trusts that once seemed unbreakable have actually collapsed, and may never go back to what they used to be.

Inside the palace of the king of Chu.

"Father looks much better today, Doctor Liu really lives up to his reputation, he has only taken two days of medicine, and he has recovered so quickly!" Zhao Ling was naturally overjoyed when he saw that King Chu's physical condition had improved.

"Yes! This Doctor Liu is not an ordinary person, no wonder he can teach Xiaoyu so well! King Chu smiled slightly, he also saw that this Liu Divine Doctor was much more important in Jiang Xiaoyu's heart than her biological father, so this time the two "old men" met, but it meant that the in-laws met, and he also admired this Liu Divine Doctor's character and medical skills from the bottom of his heart.

"Father, Qin Guogong committed suicide!" Zhao Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, "And he left a suicide note, admitting that he poisoned and murdered his father, and even wrote down the grudge with his father several years ago because of some trivial things, based on the current evidence, it doesn't seem to necessarily point to him, is he the abandoned son of the eldest grandson's family?" ”

"No!" King Chu thought for a while and said, "The eldest grandson family has a lot of moves to take, but it won't come this far!" If this king didn't guess wrong, Qin Guogong was caught by His Majesty, and His Majesty let him commit suicide! Your Majesty's move is very good, although Qin Guogong is a prince, but over the years in the court has gradually lost power, but the fame is there, throw him out to be able to convince the public, secondly, his death, others will not think of the eldest grandson's family, and they can continue to preserve the name of the eldest grandson's loyalty, and they will not be overly excited, but in the heart of the queen mother, the eldest grandson's family has a bad heart, but it is already a real thing, and the eldest grandson's family is really not His Majesty's opponent! As long as the queen mother is disappointed in the eldest grandson's family, what awaits the eldest grandson's family will be slowly encroached upon by His Majesty! ”

"When does Father think it's time for us to fight back?" Zhao Ling asked, "I'm referring to the grievances between the first prince and the Bai family!" ”

"One word, wait!" King Chu said, "Now is not the time, the power of the eldest grandson family is still unimaginable, at this time there can be no chance to let it take risks, and after Your Majesty can hold down the eldest grandson family to the death, you will make another move, so Your Majesty is also willing to cooperate, and use this as an opportunity and excuse to completely eradicate the eldest grandson family!" Maybe your purpose is different from Your Majesty's now, but the goal is the same, so you must cooperate with Your Majesty's strategy, and then you must act in Your Majesty's bottom line and so on. ”

"Well, my son knows, I'll watch the little fish!" Zhao Ling said.

He looked at the sky and said, "It's time for me to meet with them, I'll let Aunt Liu accompany you!" ”

"Go play, young people should have more fun!" King Chu smiled gently, "You called Quan'er and Yang'er over, I haven't tested their homework for a long time!" ”

"This is the New Year, don't scare them!" Zhao Ling smiled, "I'll call them now!" ”

Zhao Ling chose the location of the meeting in a valley this time, and the environment was very quiet. The sun is gentle and charming, the residual snow has not yet melted, the cold wind is cool, the goose warm stones by the river gently reflect the sun's rays, everything in winter, depressed, but it seems just right.

Zhao Qian was frightened by the assassination of the last Huizi, so he didn't forget to bring his escort team wherever he went, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he immediately let his subordinates go down and check around!

"I've already investigated, and there is absolutely no ambush around here, so don't worry!" Zhao Ling laughed, jumped out of the carriage, and hugged Jiang Xiaoyu down by the way.

He glanced at Zhao Qian mockingly: "When did you become so timid and afraid?" ”

"I'm not cowardly, I'm called cautious, after all, my life is worth it!" Zhao Qian shook his jade bone fan and said, he didn't tell a lie, but his life was very valuable, not to mention the entire Great Zhou, as long as he stomped his feet in the capital, how many merchants would tremble!

He spat very ungracefully: "Last time, Lao Tzu's painting boat was sunk, and he didn't even give an explanation, so how could Lao Tzu swallow this breath!" ”

The county lord of Qiwen also got out of the carriage, and he liked this place very much, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao Ling, how did you find this place?" ”

"Is there a good place in this capital that I can't find!" Zhao Ling said proudly, "Have fun, I'll take you to more interesting places next time!" ”

"It's better to be Brother Zhao Ling, unlike my brother, who only knows how to make money, and has no interest at all, and I don't know that girl will fall in love with him!" Lord Qiwen covered her mouth and laughed.

When Zhao Qian heard this, he said sourly: "Heh! Now that you have a family, you start to dislike me, I work so hard to earn you a dowry! ”

"Don't say it!" The county lord of Qiwen blushed when he thought of the eldest grandson, it is said that when the two got engaged, the Spring Festival had passed, and it was time to settle down.

Jiang Xiaoyu saw the shy appearance of the county lord of Qiwen, and knew that she should have fallen in love with the eldest grandson, but is it really good to marry into the Dingjun Marquis Mansion? There is still Jiang Yiran in the Hou Mansion, will Jiang Yiran get along with her?

People have no ability to predict, if Jiang Xiaoyu could have predicted the outcome, he might have tried his best to oppose this marriage.

In fact, Zhao Ling just found a secluded place, and didn't arrange any special activities, just set up a fire to barbecue, and everyone drank and chatted together.

When a few people were lazily basking in the sun, Zhao Yan and Princess Jingyun also arrived, and a few people discussed, a few girls made a fire together, arranged the environment, and a few boys went to hunt some game.

Jiang Xiaoyu went to pick up some firewood with Princess Jingyun, and Lord Qiwen went to pick some small flowers that bloomed early.

"Snowfall Girl is gone, you know?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"Hmm!" Princess Jingyun nodded, "The second prince told me!" Actually, I really don't mind if she stays, and I don't know why she left! If she stays, she will have one more person to talk to me! ”

"Everyone wants to pursue something different, not everyone is as confident and brave as you!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly while picking up the dead branches under his feet.

"Is the wedding date set?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.

"Not yet!" Princess Jingyun said a little shyly, "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, there is still a lifetime to spare!" At the end of this month, my imperial brother will come to discuss marriage with the people of the Great Zhou royal family, and watch the ceremony by the way! ”

"Coming all the way, your brother should love you very much!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Yes, we have a very good relationship, didn't I tell you that I used to run away from the palace often? He's the one who covered me! Princess Jingyun laughed like a little girl, "Actually, when I was asked to marry to Da Zhoulai, my imperial brother was the first to object, but I couldn't resist my father!" Although I sometimes feel homesick in a foreign land, I will not feel lonely after meeting you good friends, so I don't regret coming to Dazhou at all! ”

The two of them each carried a small bundle of firewood back to the valley, only to see that the county lord of Qiwen had also returned, holding a few unknown small flowers in his hands.

"It's so beautiful!" Jing Yun looked at the little flower in her hand and exclaimed.

Jiang Xiaoyu noticed that there was something wrong with Lord Qiwen's face, and frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”

Lord Qiwen thought for a moment and said, "I found a corpse!" ”

"What!" Jiang Xiaoyu and Princess Jingyun were shocked at the same time, they were not so unlucky, they finally came out and found such a thing again!

Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly called the surrounding guards over, and sent someone to find the three men back!

"Tell me clearly, what's going on?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"When I was looking for some wildflowers, behind a hillside, I found a corpse, it already smelled a little, and it was estimated that it had been dead for several days!" Lord Qiwen complained, "It's so disgusting, I thought this was a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, I could relax a little, I knew that something like this would happen!" How can you eat this, when they come back, let's go back, just leave the matter here to the yamen! ”
