"Brother Cang, I know I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Xi'er! I really can't take the plunge on the adventure, she's my only hope! Xue Changqing said.

With that, Xue Changqing got up from the chair, knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely to the north.

In the Jianzhang Palace, the guards left after reporting to Zhou Xin, leaving Zhou Xin and his personal servant Zhanying there. According to common sense, Zhou Xin had already reached the age of dividing the feud, but Zhou Ze had been imprisoning him in the palace under the pretext of not giving him a fief or a military force.

As long as Zhou Xin is controlled in the palace, Zhou Ze doesn't believe that he can rebel!

"What do you think?" Zhou Xin asked.

Zhanying knew that Zhou Xin had always had a seat for Xue Jinxiu, so he said: "My subordinates feel that Your Highness might as well take this opportunity to propose to the Holy Lord to marry the Lord of Jinxiu. ”

Zhou Xin shook his head, "I have nothing to do at the moment; Second, there is no power, Jinxiu married me, and there is no guarantee for the future. ”

Zhan Ying sighed. After knowing Zhou Xin for so long, he really found that this person's temperament has changed greatly!

A person who had walked through the Ghost Gate opened his eyes and found that the Shen clan behind him had been uprooted. Once, Zhou Xin hated that he had the blood of the Shen family in his body, but when he really saw that this family was about to die, he still felt so painful!

He knew that his mother wanted to use herself to help his brother ascend to the throne, and his brother wanted to kill him so that he could take the military power in his hands for himself!

Zhou Xin hated!

However, in the past two years, when he saw the people of the Shen clan dying one by one for unknown reasons, and one by one falling into the trap of other nobles and being branded as a thief, Zhou Xin suddenly found that he didn't hate this family so much!

Thinking like this, Zhou Xin felt more and more that Xue Jinxiu should not let the people below do this for no reason

"I'm going to leave the palace," Zhou Xin said.

"Out of the palace?" Zhan Ying asked.

Zhou Xin nodded, "Jinxiu won't let people pass such information to me for no reason", Zhou Xin pondered for a moment and said: "It's time to employ people." ”

When Zhan Ying heard this, he responded, "My subordinates will do it." ”

Zhou Xin actually had to think of a reason to leave the palace, and the most important thing was that he couldn't go to the Hou Ye's Mansion to find Xue Jinxiu openly. After all, the two are separated and lonely. Although the love is deeply buried, if there is really someone who can give Xue Jinxiu a stable life, Zhou Xin believes that he will let it go, right?

Thinking like this, Zhou Xin changed his clothes and walked towards Fu Yuyue's palace.

Although tomorrow is a day of great joy, Zhou Xin always feels that this courtyard is a little desolate. Probably, a princess who was dragged to kiss her, few people in the palace should come to her.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Xin heard Fu Xuan, who was watering the flowers, say, "What kind of wind blew the Third Highness here?" ”

Zhou Xin smiled slightly, walked to Fu Xuanyue's side, and said: "Send the princess a joke, the third child is an idler, and when he hears the news that the princess is going to marry far away, he naturally has to come to condole." ”

"Condolences?" Fu Yuyue smiled, "I'm afraid that the condolences of the Third Highness are accompanied by ridicule, right?" ＂

Zhou Xin knew that Fu Xuanyue would not tell the truth to himself. After all, since he was a child, he has always been happy to bully Cangxi, Zhou Yi, and Fu Xuan.

Such a thing, when you think about it, no one will forget.

"Whether the princess believes it or not, I really want to help the princess this time," Zhou Xin said.

Fu Yuyue put down the tools in his hand and said, "Help? Instead of bending his intestines around this, His Royal Highness might as well have something to say! ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "The princess is really smart. The third child came this time, and he really wanted to ask the princess about something. ”

"What?" Fu asked nonchalantly.

"Relationship with the prince", Zhou Xin said.

Zhou Xin obviously felt that when he mentioned Cangxi, Fu Xuanyue's face stiffened slightly. However, she was a girl who grew up in the royal family, and this look was soon replaced by a calmness!

"The regent has been away from Jinling for two years, and His Royal Highness should know that according to my power, it is simply beyond the reach of the whip", Fu Suiyue got straight to the point.

Zhou Xin smiled, "I naturally know that the princess has had a hard time in the past two years, and I also know that the princess knows very little about the news of Brother Xi's past, but she has ...... recently."

Zhou Xin didn't say any more, and his eyes fell on Fu Xuanyue.

Fu Yuyue's palms were already sweating. She couldn't see that Zhou Xin was making her words clear!

It's just that this person really can't tell whether this person is an enemy or a friend. After two years of dormancy, Zhou Xin is no longer the person who was full of joy and anger at the beginning, and now Zhou Xin, whether it is his expression or eyes, can not see the slightest ripple.

"Don't be afraid, princess, I have the same thoughts as Brother Xi. The people who hurt me, the people who hurt my mother's mother, Zhou Xin remembered......"

Without waiting for Zhou Xin to finish speaking, Fu Xuanyue interrupted: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I can help him!"

"I don't understand what the Third Highness is saying?" After Fu Xuanyue finished speaking, he turned his back to Zhou Xin and said, "If the Third Highness has nothing else to do, it will not be entertained." I still have a dowry here that is not ready, Your Royal Highness, please take care of yourself", said Fu Xuan, about to enter the house.

"Don't worry, princess", Zhou Xin stepped forward and stopped, "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." ”

Hearing this, Fu Suiyue glared at him and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Xin smiled, "If you send a good princess Bing Xue smart, it shouldn't be difficult to guess the mind of the third child." ”

"You're going to hurt him?" Fu asked instinctively.

Hearing her words, Zhou Xin laughed, "If I really want to harm him, will I come here to talk to you in vain?" Am I not afraid that you will do everything you can to get the message to him? ”

"And what are you for?" Fu asked about it.

"The third child has a matter, I don't know if the princess is willing to help", Zhou Xin pretended to be mysterious.

At this point, Fu Xuanyue had no choice but to ask, "What does the Third Emperor Brother want Xuanyue to help you do?" ”

"I don't want much, and I ask the imperial sister to write a letter to Fu Guogong without sparing pen and ink," Zhou Xin said.

"Family letters?" Fu Yuyue frowned and asked.

Zhou Xin nodded, "The imperial sister can write at will, I just want to go out of the palace under this guise." ”

Out of the palace? Guogong Mansion? These words surged out of Fu Yuyue's mind.

After a moment's effort, Fu Yuyue smiled, "The Guogong Mansion and the Hou Ye's Mansion are close, and the Third Emperor Brother is a drunkard who is not in the bar?" ”

After being discovered by Fu Xuan, Zhou Xin did not intend to hide it, "I once bought a slave maid in the Hou Ye's mansion, as long as the county lord has something, report it to me immediately." I guess, this matter is related to Brother Xiwang, I can't go to the palace, it depends on the royal sister. ”

In terms of the city government and scheming, Fu Xuanyue is far inferior to Zhou Xin at this moment.

"Are you serious?" Fu asked about it.

Zhou Xin nodded, "Naturally, take it seriously." ”

Fu Xuanyue stared at Zhou Xin's eyes for a moment, and then said softly, "Okay, follow me in." ”

Zhou Xin followed Fu Xuan's appointment into the house, if it weren't for a few happy words, Zhou Xin really couldn't see that the owner of this house was going to get married tomorrow. Looking at it like this, Zhou Xin was a little desolate in his heart.

"You are also the eldest sister of the queen and the niece of the queen mother, why don't you know that it is so simple?" Zhou Xin asked.

Fu Yuyue sneered, "This time, that time." Isn't the Third Highness not as beautiful as before? ”

Zhou Xin was speechless by Fu Xuan. Indeed, after the regime was tightly held in Zhou Ze's hands, everything changed!

He is not cruel and violent, but he is incompetent; Although he is not drunk on money, he is mediocre.

Although such a king will not give great wealth to the enemy, he will not expand his territory. On the contrary, it is very likely to lose the hearts of those old ministers!

"Third Highness, wait a moment", Fu Xuanyu said, sitting in front of the desk, Zhou Xin watched her hold the pen and write from afar.

Zhou Xin was originally a person who couldn't read any books except the art of war, but in the past two years, he has read some books on self-cultivation, and his temperament has become much gentler.

Looking at Fu Xuan's writing one stroke at a time, Zhou Xin suddenly remembered Shen Zihe.

For a moment, Zhou Xin felt that Fu Xuanyue's writing appearance was very similar to Shen Zihe who splashed ink back then. Two years have passed, and I don't know if she is still alive.

After a cup of tea, Fu Xuanyue put down the pen in his hand, gently blew the ink on the paper that had not dried, folded the letter twice and handed it to Zhou Xin.

"No need to seal it up?" Zhou Xin asked.

"No," Fu said. For a father who treated her as a victim in the end, Fu Xuanyue felt that he was willing to write this letter completely for the sake of Zhou Xin's intention to help Cangxi.

After Zhou Xin answered, he put Fu Xuanyu's family letter in his arms and said, "Thank you." ”

"I hope I'm not wrong about you", Fu Xuanyue said this sentence and no longer paid attention to Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin bowed to her back and left Fu Yuyue's palace.

At the same time, Zhan Ying was already waiting for him to come back at the gate of Zhou Xin's courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Xin walking briskly in this direction, Zhan Ying hurriedly trotted over.

"How?" Zhou Xin asked in a low voice.

After Zhan Ying leaned on Zhou Xin's ear and whispered a few words, Zhou Xin's brows furrowed slightly.

"It seems that it is not too peaceful," Zhou Xin said.

Zhan Ying is not a fool, according to the news he heard, it is speculated that Cangxi's soldiers should be outside Jinling City. It's just that what he doesn't understand is why Zhou Ze doesn't understand things that are so easy to deduce?

Is it really impossible to see through or is it pretending to be confused?

"Master, what should we do?" Zhan Ying asked.

"Out of the palace," Zhou Xin replied.

"The emperor is already looking forward to what is wrong with you, if you leave the palace at this time and the emperor knows, I am afraid that you will have a fate, and you will not know how to return!" Zhan Ying persuaded.

Zhou Xin waved his hand, "It's okay." ”

Zhan Ying saw that his master had already made up his mind, and it was difficult to persuade him again. Anyway, I've been enduring it for two years, and there should always be a fight, but it's a matter of time!

Thinking so, Zhan Ying went to the stable to catch a carriage and Zhou Xin all the way out of the palace.

Although Zhou refused to seal Zhou Xin, he did not ground him in the palace. The guards guarding the door saw that it was the Third Highness who was about to leave the palace, so they didn't stop it!

After arriving at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, Zhou Xin nodded at Zhanying.

Zhou Xin asked the guards of the Guogong Mansion to pass the word, and Fu Qian saw that it was the Third Highness Zhou Xin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I don't know what the Third Highness is doing here?" Fu Qian asked.

Zhou Xin glanced at Fu Qian, did he even refuse to let him in?

"Send the princess Her Royal Highness Toben to Fu Guogong with a letter to the family. Why, Fu Guogong didn't even have the time to invite me to a cup of tea? Zhou Xin asked.

Along the way, he had already discussed it with Zhanying. With his identity, it is inconvenient to enter and exit the Hou Ye's Mansion, but Zhanying is different. There are few people who know him, and it shouldn't be difficult to sneak in.

Besides, if he is followed by spies along the way, Zhou Xinda can be said to have left the palace only because of Fu Xuan's appointment to send a letter to his family, as long as no one catches the evidence that he went to the Hou Ye's Mansion, it will be difficult for Zhou Ze to press a trumped-up charge!

"Your Royal Highness, please", Fu Qian nodded and walked inside with Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin was not in a hurry, and along the way, he had to discuss with Fu Qian what kind of flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard. The longer he stayed in the Guogong Mansion, the more time Zhanying had to inquire about all the situation from Xue Jinxiu!

Thinking so, Zhou Xin said: "I remember eating a dim sum in the Guogong Mansion when I was a child, and the taste is incomparable to the kitchen lady in the palace. Why don't you go to this highness today, do you still have such blessings? ”

Hearing this, although Fu Qian was unwilling and reluctant, he still said with a smiling face: "Your Highness wants to eat, and the old minister is naturally satisfied!" As he spoke, he quickly ordered the people below to prepare snacks.

Zhanying's side has quietly infiltrated the Hou Ye's Mansion. However, even though he was strong in martial arts, he couldn't escape Xue Changqing's ears and eyes.

In the study—

"Master Hou, my subordinates saw someone sneaking into our mansion and rushing towards the county lord's courtyard," the masked man reported.

Xue Changqing turned his back to the man and sighed, "It must be someone from the Third Highness." This girl......"

The masked man replied and continued to report: "My subordinates saw it, this person drove the carriage to the Guogong Mansion first, and his master got off the car before he quietly sneaked into our mansion." ”

Xue Changqing sighed again, "Go down." As long as he doesn't hurt the county lord's safety, let him go. ”

The masked man waved his hand and asked, "What if he wants to meet with the county lord?" ”

Xue Changqing closed his eyes and said, "Let her go too." There is only one thing you remember for me, you are not allowed to let the county lord leave the mansion! ”

"Yes!" The masked man replied.

Xue Changqing waved his hand, "Let's go down." ”

The masked man answered and disappeared into the study.

Xue Changqing looked at the direction the man left and sighed secretly.

Hopefully, he made the right decision! Hopefully, this time he's got the bet right!

Xue Changqing admitted that seeing his daughter kneeling and begging him to help Cangxi, and thinking of the comfort that Cangqing always tried his best to protect him every time he encountered danger on an expedition, Xue Changqing had no reason to convince himself to stand by and watch Cangxi's recent activities.

With Xue Changqing's permission, the masked man deliberately removed most of the guards in Xue Jinxiu's courtyard. When Zhan Ying came, he saw that the guards were not strict, and he felt cheating, but he still chose to take the risk alone.

"County Lord, County Lord," Zhan Ying shouted in a low voice.

After all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers, men and women, and Zhanying did not dare to rashly push open Xue Jinxiu's door.

Xue Jinxiu heard someone calling her outside the door, so she hurried to the door and asked, "Who is calling me?" ”

Zhanying leaned on the door, glanced around and lowered his voice and said, "It's a subordinate, Zhanying!" ”

When Xue Jinxiu heard that it was Zhanying, she almost cried with joy, so she quickly opened the door and let Zhanying in.

"How did you get out of the palace?" Xue Jinxiu asked.

"Time is pressing, don't ask about these irrelevant things first", Zhanying finished speaking, seeing that Xue Jinxiu was still looking at him with anxiety, he said: "Don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, even if it is known, His Royal Highness and Zhanying have a way to save their lives." ”

Hearing this, the stone in Xue Jinxiu's heart was put down. He asked, "Where is the Third Highness?" ”

"Delaying time in the Guogong Mansion, my subordinates have come here this time because they want to ask the county lord about something," Zhan Ying said.

"You ask," Xue Jinxiu said.

"Is the Lord Regent already planning to rebel?" Zhan Ying asked.

"This ......", Xue Jinxiu didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, she didn't know which position Zhou Xin and Zhanying would stand on. His father once told him that it was Cangxi who personally exposed the criminal evidence of the Shen family in front of the world, can Zhou Xin swallow this breath?

The two of them, but they are people with a family feud!

"County Lord, what are you hesitating about?" Zhan Ying asked.

"The Third Highness intends to meddle in this matter?" Xue Jinxiu asked tentatively.

was asked by Xue Jinxiu, Zhanying didn't know how to answer. What Zhou Xin thought in his mind, he didn't tell himself. However, he believes that no matter whether Cangxi rebels or not this time, Zhou Xin will not sit still!

Seeing Xue Jinxiu staring at herself, thinking of the relationship between her and Zhou Xin, Zhanying didn't dare to deceive Xue Jinxiu, and said, "My subordinates don't know what His Highness thinks. ”

Hearing this, Xue Jinxiu's heart was crossed, and he said: "The regent's army is outside Jinling City, and it will come in tomorrow." Now that the old general Chen Qiushi's people have been charged to death by the emperor, if the north city gate cannot be occupied, the regent will be defeated. ”

Speaking of which, Xue Jinxiu glanced at Zhanying's expression, and then said: "Go back and tell him that tomorrow I will do everything I can to go to the North City Gate no matter what, I, Xue Jinxiu, owe the regent once, and I am willing to use this life to help him!" ”
