Ye Zhi hurriedly said: "I don't blame the Prime Minister for this, I did something wrong that night, fell into the hands of the princess, and caused the Prime Minister to misunderstand." He asked with concern, "Have you ever blamed you?" ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head.

"Senior brother can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, you will be hit by him on the spot late at night, how can senior brother give up." Ji Nanrou looked at Mei Xiaoren and continued, "What's more, if you think about it, if Senior Brother hadn't deliberately punished the Major General because of the accident that night, how could he deliberately hide it from you?" ”

Ye Zhi asked rhetorically: "Miss Ji, what is your intention in mentioning this matter to Xiaomei?" ”

"I'm doing it for your own good, don't be uninteresting!" Ji Nanrou glanced at Ye Zhi and said lightly, "You are stepping on the same boat with my Ji family, I naturally have to help you, my father and His Majesty can't stop this, but Miss Xiao must be able to." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at Ye Zhi and asked seriously: "Old Ye, do you want to go?" ”

"It is a man's job to make a meritorious career, since it is the order of the Prime Minister, I will obey it, I only ask the Prime Minister to allow me to stay for a little longer, so that I can settle my mother."

How could Mei Xiaoren not hear that Ye Zhi's compliance was full of helplessness......

Mei Xiaoren was the first to leave from the Drunken Immortal Residence, the sun outside was still so dazzling, and under the scorching heat, there were only a few pedestrians on the spacious street.

She walked slowly down the street, pondering as she went, not paying attention to the passers-by who passed her.

Two women wearing light gauze hats stopped for her, and one of them frowned and said to himself: "It's her!" ”

The people around him asked, "Sister Cui Yu, who is she?" ”

Cui Yu's eyes were like torches: "The daughter-in-law of the fourth master who has not passed the door? When she escaped from the Xinyang rudder, the rudder was suppressed by the officers and soldiers, and later escaped from the general rudder, and the general rudder was also lost, causing us to be displaced! ”

"Now let's send people under the fence with the fourth master, and we are too busy to take care of ourselves, I'm afraid we won't have the ability to seek revenge on her, right?"

"The fourth master has the handle of the emperor's relatives, otherwise how can we hide at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is not a trouble for them to help arrest someone again." Cui Yu retracted her gaze and urged, "We have to go back and report quickly." ”

Prime Minister's Office.

Mei Xiaoren returned home and learned that Chu Yu had come back one step ahead of her, and was watching the folds in the study.

Thinking that some knots in her heart would only be more troublesome if she couldn't untie them, she didn't even bother to change her clothes, and hurried to the study.

The door to the study was open, and a guard came out of his face. When the guard bumped into her, his gaze was slightly evasive.

It is common for the guards to reply to Chu Yu or report to him, Mei Xiaoren didn't think much about it, moved in, and saw Chu Yu sitting behind the bookcase reading the fold, but the fold in his hand was not opened......

Gu Chuyu raised her eyes, saw her dressed as a man, and asked, "Have you been out?" ”

Mei Xiaoren said "um", walked to the couch and sat down, and when the next person served tea, she picked up the tea cup and drank the tea, silent.

Gu Chuyu's gaze stayed on her for a while, and then moved away to look at the song, didn't hear her open for a long time, and said, "Xiao Xiao, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Is there really nowhere to hide my mind in front of you?" Mei Xiaoren couldn't help but smile, put down the teacup, and his eyes sank, "It's okay to say it, but you have to tell me the truth, and you are not allowed to hide it." ”

"Of course."

Gu Chuyu had no intention of watching any more twists and turns, and his heart was far less indifferent than what he showed. She had ever used the word "conceal" from him, unless she already knew something he hadn't mentioned to her.

Gu Chuyu put down the fold, got up and walked to Mei Xiaoren and sat down, waiting for her to speak.

"Have you hesitated to let Princess Haoyang marry to Wuzhu Kingdom?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"I know why you made this decision, because Haoyang was brought back by me, and she is ungrateful, so you want everything to go back to the way it was, just because I never helped her." Mei Xiaoren continued, "You are thinking about me, what about you, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Gu Chuyu asked rhetorically: "Xiao Xiao, what do you think I will think?" ”

"If you have been compassionate, or have had patience and hesitation because of other things, you don't need to insist, there are many other ways to deal with her besides sending her away."

"Someone asked you to intercede for Haoyang?"

Mei Xiaoren shook his head, "No." ”

Ji Nanrou just mentioned to her that the old lady likes Haoyang and treats Haoyang as a daughter. But she knew that Chu Yu was very filial, and if sending Haoyang away would make him feel ashamed of his mother, even if he only had a trace of guilt, she was willing to be "merciful" once and let Haoyang go.

"Who have you seen today?" Gu Chuyu asked directly.

Mei Xiaoren frowned, "First come, first come, I asked you first, and you haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Those who are ungrateful, even vengeful, do not deserve sympathy, why should I hesitate?"

"So Haoyang has to marry?"

"The marriage between the two countries is a foregone conclusion, and there is absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter."

Mei Xiaoren nodded. She believed that he was telling the truth, and since he had not hesitated, she would not insist that he change his mind. In addition to this, she wants to know what he really thinks about another matter.

"Is the battle between Daning and Qiluo still fought?"

"The court discussed this matter yesterday, and there is no conclusion, but there must be a result the day after tomorrow."

"You advocate fighting?"

"There is only benefit and no harm in fighting, and there is no benefit and no harm in not fighting." Gu Chuyu said indifferently, "Why don't you try it if it's beneficial?" ”

"Then you will put pressure on Your Majesty the day after tomorrow to get him to agree to war?"

"What remains in the balance is not whether to fight or not, but who to send."

"There are so many generals in Daning, it's just a matter of fighting Qiluo, and sending a veteran to fight a quick battle can be done quickly."

Gu Chuyu looked at her and asked bluntly: "Xiao Xiao, do you want to help Ye Zhi intercede?" ”

Mei Xiaoren was stunned for a moment, she was afraid that he would guess Ye Zhi's head, so she deliberately talked around the words, and she just wanted to ask him about the purpose of sending Ye Zhi first, and then ponder what she should say and do.

Now that Chu Yu had broken the words, she also asked directly: "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”

"I didn't tell you, and how did you know who I'm going to send to fight?"

Mei Xiaoren thought for a while and said: "This is a big event, and the streets and alleys are spreading ......."

He interrupted her and said, "Xiao Xiao, you asked me to tell you the truth, but what did you say half the truth?" ”

"What do you mean?" Mei Xiaoren frowned and asked.

"Ye Zhi came to you and asked you to help him push this errand, and asked you to intercede for Haoyang on behalf of Ji Heng, right?"

"Nothing!" Mei Xiaoren retorted solemnly.

She kept her mouth shut about Ye Zhi, because she didn't want to add another misunderstanding between Chu Yu and Ye Zhi, as Ji Nanrou said, even if Ye Zhi had a forbidden army in his hands, it would be easy for Chu Yu to deal with him.

What's more, what kind of intercession, what makes the marriage stop, Ye Zhi didn't mention it at all. Chu Yu even misunderstood this, how dare she say anything else?

She has seen Ye Zhi today, it was Ji Nanrou's arrangement, and it has nothing to do with Ye Zhi and her, if she mentions it, she is afraid that it will be messy if she keeps cutting it!

Gu Chuyu got up and walked a few steps towards the door, looking at the thousands of miles of sunset, his tone became indifferent: "At noon, the drunken immortal residence in the east of the city, do you still need me to speak more clearly?" ”
