"Lord Wang!"

As soon as Chu Qianchen saw Gu Jue, a bright smile appeared on his little face with picturesque eyebrows, and there was no mustard in his expression.

Mama Cai was completely relieved, it seemed that the princess really didn't care about Jiang Yuan's affairs at all.

Chu Qianchen walked to Gu Jue in three steps and two steps, and as she walked, the oncoming wind blew the two big red ribbons between her sideburns and flew up, caressing her small and beautiful ears, making the earlobes more and more white and delicate.

The little girl who has not yet reached the end of the year has fluffy temples and snowy skin, and under the bright sunset, it adds a bit of beauty, brilliance and beauty, and the national color is gorgeous.

"Is it okay to eat lotus leaf steamed pork, rouge goose breast and tofu skin buns tonight?" Chu Qianchen asked naturally, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, he walked to Gu Jue's side and stood side by side with him.

She looked up at Gu Jue's eyes full of closeness, admiration, joy and trust, so pure.

Gu Jue looked at her smile and her defenseless appearance, the corners of her lips hooked, and she smiled on her lips.

In the sun, his cold smile seemed warmer and warmer.

He didn't think about marrying a wife, and he didn't know how to get along with this little girl...... However, every time he saw this girl, he would unconsciously relax, as if he directly told him that in the face of the person in front of him, he didn't need to be vigilant, he didn't need to calculate, and he didn't need to be alert.

"Okay."

He answered, raising his hand and gently caressing the big red ribbon on her cheek, and brought it behind her ear.

The fingertips couldn't help but tap her ear.

She seemed to feel itchy, her ears trembled slightly, Gu Jue squinted and smiled, as if she saw a pair of white, fluffy cat ears shaking in the wind.

In the courtyard, the delicate flowers of the trees also gently shook a few times in the warm breeze of dusk.

"Meow!"

The little black cat threw the rattan ball in its mouth to the ground, and ran over briskly, first rubbing Chu Qianchen's skirt, and then circling the two.

It already recognized Gu Jue, the two-legged beast that had just slept in the same room with him, so it also rubbed Gu Jue familiarly, begging for petting.

Mama Cai didn't know whether to lament the good relationship between the princess and the prince, or to sigh that this kitten who didn't know the height of the sky was too bold.

The little black cat continued to stick to the two of them without giving up, entangled them to make it difficult for them to move an inch, Chu Qianchen was helpless, so he could only lean over and hug the sticky little milk cat.

The two walked side by side to the house, and Chu Qianchen touched the cat in his arms.

As Gu Jue walked, she looked at the cat with comfortable squinting green eyes under her finger, and suddenly said, "The holy decree has been sent to the Chu family just now." ”

Chu Qianchen didn't respond, but the little black cat in her arms "meowed" cooperatively.

At this time, Chu Lingxiao of the Yongding Marquis Mansion had just received the holy decree, and the emperor ordered him to leave for the northwest immediately.

Chu Lingxiao, who knelt on the ground to receive the order, was completely stunned, he didn't expect this errand to fall on him, and he didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until Father-in-law Ni impatiently called "Master Hou" that Chu Lingxiao came back to his senses and was ecstatic.

Chu Lingxiao hurriedly raised his hands and said loudly: "The minister accepts the order." ”

At this moment, he even forgot the pain of being scolded with a rod and thirty rods at noon.

Gonggong Ni handed over the holy decree to Chu Lingxiao, and the little girl hurriedly helped Chu Lingxiao, who was unable to move, to get up.

Father-in-law Ni looked at Chu Lingxiao with a smile on his face, and said meaningfully: "Master Hou, the emperor values you so much, you have to do a good job and share the emperor's worries!"

Chu Lingxiao responded again and again: "Please also ask your father-in-law to speak for Ben Hou in front of the emperor, Ben Hou will do his best to find out the truth and give the king of Nanyang justice." ”

His words were high-sounding, and he exchanged a tacit look with Gonggong Ni.

Chu Lingxiao also knew that the emperor didn't like Qin Yao because Qin Yao was friendly with Gu Jue, and this time the emperor ordered him to go to the northwest, so he hoped that he could find out something unfavorable to Qin Yao.

This case is actually full of suspicions, Qin Yao must have a problem, or say, he must be hiding some secret.

If Qin Yao was really innocent, why did he abscond for two months without seeing anyone, and why didn't he go to Beijing to complain to the emperor about his grievances!

Qin Yao neither went through the emperor nor the Dali Temple, and directly killed his brother Qin Xuan in the Nanyang camp, which exposed his ruthlessness, Qin Yao is killing people and killing people!

Moreover, Princess Nanyang's side has been silent so far......

Chu Lingxiao's heart moved quickly, and he felt that this case was actually very clear, it was Qin Yao who killed his father and blamed his brother, I am afraid that he also put Princess Nanyang under house arrest!

The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more radiant he became, and happily asked the chief steward to help him send away Gonggong Ni and the others who had passed the decree.

Chu Lingyu and the others next to him had different expressions, and Chu Lingyu said a little sourly: "Congratulations to the big brother." ”

"It's all for the emperor." Chu Lingxiao smiled brightly, with a lot of pride and ambition in his heart, and sighed secretly: When he finishes this errand, their Yongning Marquis Mansion will rise!

Mrs. Tai was very distressed when she saw her eldest son's inconvenience, and said, "Ling Xiao, your injury ......."

Mrs. Tai is a mother, and she was angry with her eldest son for Jiang Minshan's disobedience to herself, but now she sees that her eldest son's injured leg has not healed, and today she has added a new injury, and she is distressed again.

However, the emperor's holy decree clearly stated that Chu Lingxiao should leave as soon as possible and rush to the northwest.

Even if Mrs. Tai has the heart to let her eldest son recuperate for a few days before leaving, it is difficult to say.

Chu Lingxiao waved his hand, "It's okay, the flesh hurts, I'll just take the carriage and set off." ”

He thought in his heart that even if he walked slower on the road, it would be better than delaying time in the capital to make the emperor feel that he was not doing his errands enough.

"That's fine." Mrs. Tai sighed, and was about to tell the Shen family to hurry up and prepare, when she remembered that the Shen family had already taken Chu Qianhuang and Chu Yunmu back to the Mu State Mansion.

Mrs. Tai turned her head and ordered to Mama Wang in a cold voice: "You personally go to the Guogong Mansion to invite the eldest lady back." ”

Her eyes were cloudy, and she felt that Jiang Minshan or Shen Zhi were all stiff wings, and they didn't abide by women's morals!

Especially Shen Zhi, Jiang Minshan is just a concubine, but Shen Zhi is the head of the mansion, her husband has just received an errand, but she is not at home, what kind of house to go back to!

Mama Wang took the order and left, and Mrs. Tai ordered someone to ask for a doctor, wondering if she would find a doctor to accompany her and follow Chu Lingxiao to the northwest.

The whole Hou Mansion was in a commotion because of this holy decree, and they only felt that these things that had happened in this short day were simply full of twists and turns.

Half an hour later, Mama Wang, who had gone to the Muguo Mansion, came back in a hurry, her face was very strange, and she said, "Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, the eldest lady said that she will not come back." ”

Mama Wang had a headache, she actually didn't see the Shen family at all when she went to the Guogong Mansion, it was Mama Chen who came forward to send her away. She also knew that if she returned in vain, Mrs. Tai and Hou Ye would inevitably be furious.

Sure enough—

"It's not like that!"

Chu Lingxiao slapped his palm on the coffee table heavily, shaking the tea cup and fruit bowl on it.

Chu Lingxiao's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Zhi didn't do her duty as the head mother of the Hou Mansion at all, and Ben Hou wants to divorce his wife!" ”

When the maids in the room heard this, they all lowered their heads and looked at the tips of their shoes, and were silent.

"Ling Xiao!" Mrs. Tai swept towards Chu Lingxiao with a cold eye, not angry and arrogant.

No matter how much Mrs. Tai doesn't like the Shen family, she can't let Chu Lingxiao divorce his wife. Not to mention that he divorced his wife and remarried, he would never be able to marry a noble girl like Shen Zhi, and once he divorced his wife, it would be equivalent to sweeping the face of the Guogong Mansion, and the Guogong Mansion would definitely not let go of the Hou Mansion.

For the Marquis of Yongding, the Shen family has a hundred harms but no benefits.

"......" Chu Lingxiao stopped talking.

Of course, he also knew what Mrs. Tai was thinking, and his thin lips pursed.

Over the years, he has endured Shen Zhi again and again, and forbearance has become steel, Shen Zhi has never put his husband in the eyes of the Guogong Mansion, how can he be careless and diligent, she will always be high!

Chu Lingxiao said to himself in his heart that he must do a good job of this errand to the northwest, do it beautifully, and let the emperor see his ability.

He will no longer let himself be bullied by Shen Zhi and the Mu Guogong Mansion on his head, and he will no longer bend down and bow his head to Shen Zhi!

Shen refused to return to the Hou Mansion, so he could only prepare for the trip by Mrs. Tai herself, so Chu Lingxiao's eldest maid hurriedly went to pack his luggage, and asked the chief steward to prepare the carriage, and then asked Mama Wang to draw up a list to see what things to bring and the accompanying personnel.

The Hou Mansion is busy and busy.

Mrs. Tai has not been in charge of Zhongfeng for more than ten years, and the Hou Mansion was in chaos, and it was busy until the early hours of the morning, and the things were barely packed up, and Chu Lingxiao left the capital early the next morning.

As soon as Chu Lingxiao left, the Shen family in the Mu State Mansion also knew about it that day.

Duchess Mu was not optimistic about Chu Lingxiao's errand, and explained the trouble of this matter to the Shen family.

"Anyone who investigates this case is tantamount to being sandwiched between the emperor and the Nanyang Palace, and it is not good to be a person at both ends."

"Moreover, there is no proof of death, the king of Nanyang is dead, and the second son Qin Xuan is also dead, since all the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang army have asked for the death of the prince Qin Yao, this case is already a certainty."

"If my uncle can't find out the problem, the emperor will be unhappy; If my uncle really finds out what is wrong, I am afraid that he will not be able to come up with any evidence, and he will let himself fall into the tiger's den of Longtan in the northwest. ”

“……”

Duchess Mu Guo was worried, and her eyebrows were deeply locked.

Shen is a smart person, although she doesn't know much about the court, but as soon as Duchess Mu analyzed the benefits and disadvantages with her, she immediately understood.

Shen hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, and said affirmatively: "Chu Lingxiao definitely can't figure it out. ”

With her understanding of Chu Lingxiao, he might not have thought that this was a good fat mess, so he set off happily, but he didn't know that what was waiting for him was a dead end.

At this moment, there were only two of them in the house, mother and daughter, and the others were sent out.

Duchess Mu Guo also had a headache, rubbed her eyebrows, and asked, "Ah Zhi, do you want your father to ask?" ”

She always felt that Chu Lingxiao's errand was too inexplicable, it was simply driving him to death, and from then on, Chu Lingxiao's career was afraid that it would be completely ruined, as long as the emperor reigned for one day, there would be no possibility of recovery.

"Mother doesn't have to worry about him." Shen refused without hesitation.

Duchess Mu thought she was angry, and she called her daughter's name again and again.

Shen knew what she was thinking, and said: "Mother, anyway, no matter what Chu Lingxiao does in this errand, the Hou Mansion will not be taken away, and it is enough to have a title for Brother Mu." ”

"Whether Chu Lingxiao is dead or alive, I don't care at all."

Shen's eyes were firm and his tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about a stranger.

Duchess of Mu Guo: "......"

Shen Shi clutched the handkerchief tightly, his eyes were even colder, as if covered with a layer of ice, and he whispered in a hoarse voice: "If he really did 'that thing', I would have the heart to kill him, and I don't care if he has a ......future."

She didn't bother to care about Chu Lingxiao's life or death at all, so she let him hit his head and bleed.

Outside the window, the sky was gloomy, and layers of clouds filled the sky, as if it was about to fall at any moment.

The green bamboo rustling in the courtyard seemed to whisper.

Shen picked up the teacup, drank half a cup of tea, calmed down, and then asked, "Mother, when will the people sent by my father to Yuzhou come back?" ”

Ten days ago, Mu Guogong sent his cronies to the Daping Temple in Yuzhou where the Shen family produced that year to investigate the events of that year.

Duchess Mu Guo looked awe-struck and said, "I found a monk in Daping Temple back then, and now he is on his way to the capital." ”

The Shen family secretly investigated Mama Yu, and she was looking for someone to borrow from Duchess Mu Guo, so Duchess Mu Guo also knew about Mama Yu's accidental death for the first time, and she knew that her daughter was like her, and she guessed that her daughter was also suspicious of some things like her.

After that, the mother and daughter opened their minds.
