Chu Xiurong stood in front of the hall and waited for a long time, and finally waited for a eunuch to come out and ask him to go back.

"Your Majesty is busy, and I won't see anyone for the time being." The eunuch said respectfully and detachedly.

Chu Xiurong said softly, he understood, and turned around to leave the hall.

"Your Majesty didn't see you again?" Concubine Xu sat in the hall and pushed a plate of dim sum to Chu Xiurong, "How many times has this been?" ”

Chu Xiurong pinched the snack: "Since my father woke up, I haven't seen us much, it's understandable that my father is in a bad mood." ”

Concubine Xu frowned: "It's just King Yan and King Lu, the emperor didn't like them very much before, but now it's a little bad for you." ”

Chu Xiurong lowered his head and ate snacks without speaking.

Concubine Xu motioned to the palace maids around her to retreat, and then looked at Chu Xiurong: "Does Your Majesty know anything?" Didn't you explain to Dr. Hu about him? ”

Chu Xiurong raised his head: "I explained, I said very calmly, I went to Qi County, and I was attacked again, so I also raised some people outside, and when I heard that Dr. Hu was killed, I also asked people to look for it, and after finding it, I listened to Dr. Hu's words and knew that the matter was very important, so I hid the person and brought it back." ”

Concubine Xu pondered: "This is no problem, everything is reasonable, Dr. Hu was found by Zhou Xuan, and the prince also did it to harm Dr. Hu, there is no reason to blame you for hiding Dr. Hu, you are just to save Your Majesty." ”

Chu Xiurong said with a smile: "If my father wants to blame someone, do you still need a reason?" Mother, don't think about it. ”

How could Concubine Xu not want to: "This is related to whether you can be made the crown prince." She held her hand and her eyebrows condensed, "We naturally know that Your Majesty will be angry, but this anger has been too long, it was okay at first, let you continue to run errands, and see you, how can it get more and more-"

She looked left and right, lowering her voice again.

"Where is the judgment of the Zhang court, there should be something wrong, right?"

Chu Xiurong said: "Zhang Yuan has been treating my father for so many years, and the mistake is just that the medical skills are not perfect. "Hand the peeled dried nuts to Concubine Xu, "Mother, don't think about it, something happened in Xijing, and my father was in a bad mood, so naturally I didn't like anyone." ”

What happened in Xijing, now Concubine Xu also knows: "Xiliang people are really crazy, they dare to do this?" ”

Fortunately, the emperor was aware of everything, and he had already taken precautions, and ordered the northern army to investigate at all times.

Chu Xiurong's hand holding the dim sum paused: "It's not just Xiliang people who are crazy, there is also the old King Qi behind him - this time, Jin Yao is really dangerous." ”

The correspondence between Chu Xiurong and the old King of Qi, Concubine Xu naturally knew about it, and when she heard him say this at this time, she immediately said word by word: "Jin Yao is in danger, it is because of Xiliang and the old King of Qi, it has nothing to do with you, Ah Xiu, don't think nonsense." ”

What's the crap? Want to have no dealings with King Qi? Didn't indulge King Qi to escape, didn't watch Jin Yao go and kiss without hindrance? Knowing that King Qi's ambition is not credible, but he still conspires with the tiger, causing today's chaos - things are already like this, can it be changed by crankiness? Feeling guilty is just to comfort himself, Chu Xiurong said: "I don't, don't worry about it, concubine." ”

Concubine Xu stretched out her hand and gently stroked his shoulder, and said softly: "I know, Ah Xiu, you are the most determined, not disturbed by external objects, now that there is a war with Xiliang, Your Majesty is upset, it is also a good opportunity for you, you do things well, Chu Jinrong will have no chance to turn over, and when you become the prince, keep in mind that the humiliation and losses suffered by Daxia and Jin Yao today will be returned." ”

Chu Xiurong nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, concubine." Then he got up and took his leave.

Now that his identity is the prince, it is not good to be in the harem for too long, Concubine Xu did not keep him, and watched him leave, but after a while, the little eunuch was called.

"Where did King Qi go?" Concubine Xu asked.

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "I'm going to see Chen Danzhu." ”

Concubine Xu sat back a little helplessly, and sure enough, she knew that there was really no way, her Ah Xiu had a firm mind since she was a child, and she was not disturbed by external objects, and she did the same for Chen Danzhu.

Chu Xiurong hadn't come to see Chen Danzhu for a long time.

It's not that it's inconvenient to come here, it's that I don't know what to say to her, and there is no more to say between the two.

The cell is quiet, there is a flower in the clay vase on the table, the small cell is elegant and pleasant, in fact, the prince is deposed, even if Chen Danzhu is in prison, there is no danger, but the girl sitting on the bed, her hair is neat and tidy, and her side face is still snowy and peachy, but her eyes are gray, like a fish lying in a dry ditch.

Seeing Chen Danzhu's glance, Chu Xiurong knew that he didn't come here, not because he had nothing to say, but because he didn't dare to face it.

The vigorous girl who stood under the hawthorn tree and cried even if she cried was caught up in it, and now she has become like this.

"Danzhu, the king of Xiliang did not come to ask for relatives, but in the name of courting, he led soldiers and horses to raid Great Xia." Chu Xiurong said.

Chen Danzhu already knew that someone was coming, but he didn't bother to move, he was startled when he heard this, and walked quickly to the door of the cell, staring at him: "Do you want to tell me good news or bad news?" ”

Chu Xiurong said softly: "Jin Yao is fine, fortunately escaped from the siege of the Xiliang people and returned to Xijing, and now the soldiers and horses of Xijing are fighting against the soldiers and horses of the prince of Xiliang." ”

Chen Danzhu looked at him and suddenly smiled: "That's good news for Your Highness, if Princess Jin Yao dies in the hands of Xiliangren, I'm afraid that Your Highness will feel guilty and blame herself, and she will always be a little sad." ”

Chu Xiurong nodded: "You're right. He said softly, "The situation in Xijing is not clear for the time being, Your Majesty has dispatched the three colonels in the Northern Army to help, and your family is in Xijing, which makes you worried." ”

Chen Danzhu smiled and spread his hands: "There's nothing to worry about, if you win, my family is safe, and if you lose, my family is loyal to the country, which is a good thing." ”

Chu Xiurong looked at her and did not speak.

Chen Danzhu grabbed the door of the cell and asked with a smile: "Then when will His Royal Highness be crowned the crown prince, and double happiness will come?" ”

Chu Xiurong sighed lightly in his heart and said, "It won't be soon, my father has experienced this blow and is disgusted with us sons." ”

She attacked with words, he was tepid, and replied seriously, Chen Danzhu was not interested: "Your Highness is so capable, you can always make Your Majesty like you, and the courtiers will first congratulate Your Highness on the fulfillment of his wishes." ”

Chu Xiurong nodded: "Yes, I should be able to make my wish come true." Looking at Chen Danzhu, "Danzhu, you can cry when you want, scold if you want, don't bear it, I'll go first, you can be at ease." ”

With that, he turned around and walked away.

Seeing his figure disappear, Chen Danzhu's hand holding the cell door creaked, she wouldn't scold, she wouldn't want to cry.

But, Jin Yao, did you almost die?

What kind of luck was it to get out of the siege of the Xiliang people? Isn't it scary and dangerous? Xiliang is attacking Xijing, isn't it sudden? Isn't it going to kill a lot of people? Will the galloping soldiers and horses be able to catch up?

She clutched the cell door tightly with both hands, which condensed the strength of her whole body, controlled the tears from falling, and supported her to stand steadily.

A soft sound came from behind him, and something seemed to fall.

Chen Danzhu turned his head and looked at a small skylight above the cell, which was underground, and this skylight could let in fresh air and some daylight.

She looked at the table behind her, and there was a small sachet on the clay vase, and the flower branches in the vase shook and trembled.

What the? And, who?

Chen Danzhu let go of the cell door, turned around and walked over, opened the small sachet, and two red and round hawthorns rolled out.

Chen Danzhu looked at the hawthorn blankly, although the hawthorns in the world all looked the same, but she instantly decided that this was the hawthorn of the Shuyun Temple.

It's time for the hawthorn to be ripe, Chen Danzhu raised his head and looked at the small window, and suddenly felt aggrieved and angry, it's all at this time, Chu Yurong is still thinking about eating the hawthorn of the Cloud Temple!

She told him it wasn't good at the time! It's not delicious! He's going to pick it up!

Chen Danzhu's tears welled up, holding the hawthorn in one hand and hiding his face in the other and crying.
