Chu Junlan told Chu Huating about going to the palace at the beginning of the year to ask for peace, but was framed and offended Concubine Shugui.

"Actually, when I hadn't seen Concubine Shu before, I thought Concubine Shu could be close. After all, our mother used to be the person next to Concubine Shu, and this house was even rewarded because of Concubine Shu's relationship.

"But since the face-to-face conflict with the six princes, and then the time when I passed through the palace, I can see through what kind of person Concubine Shu is, and I don't expect to be close to her, so I naturally can't ask her about the original matter. Even if she asked, she might not be willing to tell us the truth. ”

Chu Huating nodded: "So, according to the clues that Uncle Yuan told us, we can't find Mama Tao, and we can't ask Concubine Shu, so we can only find a way to meet the Shuntian Mansion Yin back then." It's a pity that now Master Yi is a scholar, how can I see you and me? ”

Speaking of this, Chu Huating sighed: "It's a pity that if I want to enter the officialdom, I can only wait for the spring of the next year, but even if I am lucky, I have to start with the editing of the sixth or seventh grades, and it is basically impossible to talk to the official department." ”

"So I can't count on a normal way at all, I have to think of a way to talk to Yi Yuhai in private."

Chu Junlan propped his chin and knocked on the table with his faint pink nails, "You think, you really met him in a normal way, can you directly ask him why he ordered to stop the thorough investigation of our mother's case?" Lord Yi is not a naïve fool, where will he tell the truth. ”

Chu Huating rubbed his eyebrows, he was really at a loss, but he was still comforting Chu Junlan: "Don't worry, we didn't have any clues at the beginning, don't we have a direction now, and there is Uncle Yuan by my side, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and my mother's grievances will be snowed sooner or later, I will find a way." ”

Chu Junlan nodded, and said: "I heard from the prince that there are frequent good news in the north, and the victory of the imperial court is almost certain, and as soon as the war is over, King Gongding has returned to Beijing, and my wedding date is approaching, I want to take advantage of the wedding date to solve this matter, and I will go to the palace in the future, maybe there will be more troubles, and then I am afraid that it will not be easy to take time out." ”

Chu Huating nodded in approval and said: "You are right, after you get married, you will be a person in the king's lineage, and it is not good to interfere too much in the affairs of your mother's family." But in fact, you don't have to worry, I haven't forgotten my mother's affairs, and I will always pursue it. ”

"Wouldn't it be easier for the two of us together?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, thinking of the deceased Lu family, and a faint sadness welled up in their hearts.

Although Chu Junlan has not really gotten along with Lu, he has inherited the memory of this body, and in the haze, he has a lot of feelings for his mother, even if Lu died when she was only two or three years old.

Sometimes Chu Junlan even thinks that blood kinship, even death can't change it, just like she is now, but she lives in this body, but she has completely fused with this body, the memory of the original body is hers, and the feelings of the original body are also hers, many things, not that she can say that she can give up.

After Chu Junlan returned home, he couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Xiao Xu came to visit, and in the name of asking Chu Junlan for treatment, in fact, everyone in the family knew why he came, but they didn't break it.

"What? Princess Zhang actually nodded? ”

"Yes," Xiao Xu pushed the fruit bowl to Chu Junlan, "You taste it, this watermelon has been kept in the well water, and I only took it out when I went out." ”

Chu Junlan twisted the small silver fork, forked a piece of watermelon and took a bite, and asked, "How could Princess Zhang agree to let someone like Chu Mengying be Xiao Yunpeng's concubine?" ”

"It's not that the Chu family is making trouble, Princess Zhang is now parting with Princess Cai, and Chu Mengying's injury is quite unbearable."

"How unbearable is it?"

Xiao Xu was a little embarrassed, pursed his thin lips before whispering: "Xiao Yunpeng injured Chu Mengying very seriously. ”

Chu Junlan blinked, she was not a pure old man, after thinking about it, she naturally understood.

Xiao Yunpeng doesn't have that ability now, but as a man, no ability doesn't mean that he has no desire, Chu Mengying wants to be the wife of the second prince of the palace, close to the ability to seduce, Xiao Yunpeng's body doesn't allow it, he is evil and angry, I think he used some unpopular means to "defile" Chu Mengying, maybe he is like some people she knows, when he is incapable, he will seek happiness in the process of violence.

Thinking about it, Chu Cailiang also seized this point to threaten Princess Zhang, Princess Zhang wanted to save face, and she couldn't let Princess Cai grab the handle, so she had to nod.

Thinking about it like this, Chu Mengying is really not ordinary miserable, as Xiao Yunpeng's concubine, she will have to face a husband who is inhumane and abusive in the future, and she will also face a mother-in-law who doesn't look down on her at all, what is she trying to do?

Chu Junlan shook his head and asked Xiao Xu instead: "By the way, do you have any way for me to talk to Yi Tsukazai?" ”

Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Yi Yuhai, the secretary of the ministry?" ”

"Exactly."

"I don't have much contact with Yi Tsukazai, but I think Yi Yuhai seems to have some friendship with my father. I can open my mouth to ask to see him, but Yi Yuhai is very cautious, he is easily unwilling to show his preferences outside, and he is not easy to stand in line, I am afraid that if I open my mouth, he will directly refuse because of suspicion. Xiao Xu said in great detail, for fear that Chu Junlan would misunderstand, and asked, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Chu Junlan was a little helpless, hesitated for a moment, and still told Xiao Xu what she was going to do.

This is the first time that Chu Junlan has told him about her difficulties in detail, Xiao Xu listened very seriously, nodded and said: "In this way, what happened back then was indeed strange, Yi Yuhai's character, although it is not upright, but it is not a stupid person, if the investigation is not allowed, Uncle Yuan will not investigate so carefully at the beginning, it can only be said that there is someone with a higher status who gave an order to Yi Yuhai." ”

"So I want to know who gave him the order."

"I'm afraid he won't say it."

"Always give it a try."

Xiao Xu nodded, "Don't worry, I want to find a way to give you a chance to talk to Yi Yuhai." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded: "That's very good." If you do that, I'll reward you, how about it? ”

Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan, his eyes fell on her red lips, and before she could speak, the roots of her ears turned red.

He was full of anticipation and set out to do this, but after working for several days, he could only helplessly tell Chu Junlan: "I'm afraid I won't get the reward." ”

"How?" Chu Junlan looked at Xiao Xu's lowered head with a smile on his face.

"Listen to me and ask to see him for you, he politely refused," Xiao Xu frowned, "I think there is something strange about this matter. It seems that when he hears you, he already knows what he wants to see him for, and what he is trying to hide. ”
