"My brother is the most affectionate, and he will never ignore our mother and son." Concubine Huo Xian hooked the corners of her lips slightly, "As long as my brother doesn't change his mind, it's enough, as for the rest of the Huo family, they are all useless, and if they are gone, they will be gone, so as not to let you be dragged down by them." ”

Listening to Concubine Huo Xian's words, Chu Li lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said, "Having said that, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not the slightest dissatisfied in his heart. ”

Concubine Huo Xian smiled lightly, raised her hand and waved, "It's okay, your uncle's person, this palace couldn't be clearer, that is, a few days of dissatisfaction, after a long time, it will naturally be forgotten." Besides, Li Er, you are not only his nephew, but also his future son-in-law. ”

Mentioning this matter, Concubine Huo Xian inevitably mentioned two more words, "Li'er, Zhirou is your uncle's favorite daughter, although you are busy with official business, you should go to see her from time to time." Zhirou likes you very much, you can just coax her more patiently. ”

The previous unpleasant things, in Concubine Huo Xian's opinion, have all passed. Huo Zhirou is still the favorite daughter of Jingbei Hou, and she is still her favorite daughter-in-law.

Chu Li nodded in response, "Don't worry, concubine, your son knows it." Zhirou is her uncle's favorite daughter and the niece of Lord Zhou. ”

Even though Huo Zhirou had something unsatisfactory to him, just because she was the daughter of the Huo family and the Zhou family, Chu Li knew what to do.

Hearing this, Concubine Huo Xian smiled knowingly, "Everyone says how smart the prince is, but they don't know that my son is the real person with a clear mind, and I don't know how much higher than the prince." ”

"Prince?" Chu Li's tone changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Huo Xian heard the change in Chu Li's tone and hurriedly asked.

Chu Li pondered for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Mother, the five princes' faction suddenly chased after us fiercely, will there be the handiwork of the East Palace here?" ”

Chu Li had always felt that the Fifth Prince and the Yao clan behind him were stupid and stupid goods, how could they suddenly see through his calculations as if they had opened their minds?

"Mother, although the false witness was committed by Erchen, Erchen was very careful, except for his mother, Erchen didn't tell anyone, not even his uncle. Erchen was confident that he handled it cleanly, but he was still discovered by Cheng Enhou. ”

Chu Li frowned, "And before the retainer went to find Zhou Jinzhi, he also said that the matter was discovered by the prince, and then the prince revealed it to Chengenhou." ”

The conversation with Zhou Jinzhi that day was not pleasant, and Chu Li was busy dealing with Cheng Enhou's blow all day long, so he forgot about these words, and now he suddenly remembered it.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to, after thinking about it, Chu Li feels more and more that what Zhou Jinzhi said is right. The whole thing, the person who benefited was the East Palace, and their handiwork was definitely indispensable.

Concubine Huo Xian lowered her eyes and pondered, and then said slowly: "The crown prince is Gugao, and he has always disdained to use such means, but during this time, the methods of the East Palace seem to have changed......"

"If this palace remembers correctly, this change started when the prince met Huo Changjin." Concubine Huo Xian said thoughtfully, "Huo Changjin is deeply trapped in the crisis of the back house, and there is a chance that such a method comes from her idea. ”

Hearing this, Chu Li nodded in agreement, and then slammed the table with his fist, "It's obviously a member of the Huo family, but it's used by the prince!" There was both anger and regret in his tone.

At the mention of Huo Sijin, Concubine Huo Xian's face also sank, and after being silent for a while, she said: "The grudge between Huo Changjin and the Zhou family is too deep, and it can't be cleared up for a while. Let's take a look again, find a suitable opportunity in the future, and win her over again. But if she still shouldn't ......"

Immediately, Concubine Huo Xian said word by word: "Then get rid of her." ”

Since she can't be used by them, then let her disappear forever, and she can't be used by anyone.

……

In the past few days, Huo Sijin has lived a very comfortable life, and good news has come everywhere.

Since Cheng Enhou knew that the matter of the witness was calculated by Chu Li, he immediately pointed the finger at Chu Li, and he didn't even care about finding fault with the East Palace every day.

The officials that Chu Li installed and co-opted in the DPRK were impeached one after another, demoted officials, imprisoned, and beheaded, but Chu Li himself ignored this, as if these people had nothing to do with him. Chu Li's actions were really chilling, and there was news from Xiao Mutou, even the Marquis of Jingbei, who was Chu Li's uncle, had a lot of complaints about it. Chu Li did this because he followed Zhou Jinzhi's advice, and the Marquis of Jingbei attributed the matter to Zhou Jinzhi, and even the suspicion with the Zhou family became deeper and deeper.

Chu Li and Chu Heng are facing each other, not only Huo Sijin has a comfortable life, but the entire East Palace is like this, but it is a little more leisurely.

But in such a leisurely day, Huo Sijin still rarely saw Chu Zheng, he always locked himself in the study, and strictly ordered Huo Sijin not to come and disturb him if he had nothing important. Huo Sijin is strange, she is obviously his long history, and her duty is to share his worries, why can't she enter if there is nothing important?

Huo Sijin hoped that Chu Zheng would be in power as soon as possible, so that she could achieve her wish as soon as possible and return to her true identity. She secretly thought to herself, Chu Zheng returned to Beijing for a year, and made outstanding political achievements, but most of the courtiers were in a wait-and-see attitude, Chu Zheng needed an opportunity to let everyone understand that he was not only the orthodox prince, but also the most capable person to ascend the throne.

Just as Huo Sijin was thinking hard about what to do to enhance his convincing, a man and a woman stepped into the door of the East Palace.

"This is the East Palace? It's nothing special, it's just a little more ornate. The girl smacked her tongue.

The man tapped her on the head, "Forgot Grandmother's words again?" When you enter the capital, you are not allowed to speak freely! ”

The woman covered her head and hurriedly took two steps back to prevent being knocked again, "Brother, I'll just mutter, and it's not something that shouldn't be said." Besides, this is Brother Zheng's territory, no matter what I say, Brother Zheng will not blame. ”

The elder brother shook his head and sighed lightly, "Lan'er, how many times have I told you, in the capital, you have to be honored as His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

My sister pursed her mouth, "I've been called Brother Zheng since I was a child, and if I want to change my mouth, I always feel weird......"

Huo Sijin happened to walk by, and suddenly his steps paused, turned his head to look at these two people, frowned slightly, and said: Who are these two people, Brother Zheng? Does this girl call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Brother Zheng?

is called so intimate, does it mean that the girl and Chu Zheng have a great relationship? She didn't see Chu Zheng have any dealings with any woman, so who is this woman?

Huo Sijin thought about it to no avail, and wanted to ask Zheng Changqing, but then he thought that Chu Zheng seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her getting close to Zheng Changqing, and she really shouldn't inquire about His Highness's private affairs as a courtier. With that thought, she suppressed the thought again.

I haven't heard anyone talk about it, so she hasn't seen it.

Huo Sijin didn't ask, but not long after, someone from the palace came to pass the word, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned her. His Royal Highness summoned him, and Huo Sijin hurriedly rushed over.

Before entering the door, he heard the woman's hearty laughter, Huo Sijin's steps paused slightly, and then walked in.

"Changjin has seen His Highness, I don't know what happened when His Highness summoned him?" Huo Sijin saluted Chu Zheng.

"No need to be polite." Chu Zheng nodded, motioned for her to sit down and speak, and then turned his head to the man sitting at the lower hand and said, "Zhengqing, this is Huo Changjin who this palace mentioned to you." ”

Zhengqing?

As soon as he heard this name, Huo Sijin immediately realized, Zhengqing, Luo Zhengqing, it turned out that this was Luo Zhengqing, the grandson of the Luo family who had guarded the border for generations.

Luo Zhengqing hurriedly got up, saluted Huo Sijin with his fists, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Huo Shizi, I didn't pay attention to it when I was outside, and I didn't know it was Huo Shizi." Huo Shizi, I am fortunate to be happy. ”

Huo Sijin also hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Changjin has seen the little marquis, the little marquis is fighting on the battlefield, heroic and unparalleled, Changjin admires it very much in his heart." ”

"How do you know who my brother is?" The woman sitting next to her raised her eyebrows and asked, "My brother has never been to the capital, let alone seen you." ”

Luo Zhengqing hurriedly scolded his sister, "Lan'er, don't be rude." ”

"Sister Qinglan is open-mouthed, and I ask Huo Shizi to forgive me."

Huo Sijin shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Then explained: "Although Changjin has never seen the little marquis, but looking at the momentum of the little marquis, he listened to His Royal Highness call you Zhengqing, who else in this world is there besides the little marquis Luo Zhengqing?" ”

Huo Sijin said again: "I heard that the little marquis has a younger sister, who was given the title of county lord and named Yongjia, but I don't know if it's this?" ”

Luo Zhengqing smiled, "I have long heard that Huo Shizi is extremely smart, and today I have seen it." ”
