Things didn't develop in the order in which they should have made Chu Huairan stunned, and he stammered and explained, "I, that's not what I meant. ”

Han Yi's voice sounded outside the car in time: "Xiangye, madam, I'm home." ”

Xiao Wanyan glared at him resentfully, and got out of the carriage with a snort.

Han Yi saw that only Xiao Wanyan came out, so he asked, "Madam, Xiangye, ...... he?"

As soon as she heard Chu Huairan, she was angry, and said angrily for no reason: "In the future, let your family stay away from me, the farther the better, don't get close to me." ”

Seeing Xiao Wanyan walk out, Chu Huairan came over for a while, Han Yi watched the two get out of the car one after another, and said cautiously: "Xiangye, Madam said to let you stay away from her, don't go near her." ”

Chu Huairan didn't say anything, he took two steps, and told Han Yi behind him: "In a few days, I will take my wife to the horse farm, you personally select a horse, wash it, comb the hair, and then send it to the lady until the lady is happy." ”

Han Yi was a little disorganized, he looked at Chu Huairan for some reason: "Xiangye, this ......"

Chu Huairan glanced at him: "I have already handed over your task to Ying Qi, you just need to do what I have arranged for you now." ”

He looked at Chu Huairan's back stupidly, choosing a horse, washing a horse, and making his wife happy, and doing other things, but to make his wife happy, he was willing to take off his skin, helplessly, he cried with a sad face, and walked towards the stable.

If you remember it well, a few days later is not only the day when Qi Xiaoran marries into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the day when the envoy of Daliang comes to meet the emperor.

Could it be that Feng Ruyi wanted to come in person this time, but after thinking about it, the empress had only succeeded to the throne not long ago, and the court was in turmoil, and the old ministers who followed her were naturally not so easy to deal with, so it was impossible for Feng Ruyi to spare time to visit in person.

And she has changed her face now, even if Feng Ruyi comes, she can't recognize her, but there must be some ulterior secret between Da Liang and Da Zhou, in the past, because Da Zhou and Da Liang had different ways of governing the country, men and women acted differently, so the two countries have never had any contact, but since the death of the previous empress, the two countries have gradually begun to have economic exchanges, especially the slave trade is the most extensive, Feng Ruyi and the emperor may have reached some agreement, there must always be a cat in it.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a maid dressed in pink walked in, holding a stack of snacks in her hand, and whispered, "Madam, this is the hibiscus cake that has just been made in the back kitchen." ”

Xiao Wanyan said "um": "Got it." ”

Before she came back to her senses, the maid walked a few steps closer, and she realized that something was wrong, there was no one to serve her in the yard after Poria left, could it be that the woman in front of her who was looking at the water spirit was Chu Huairan who came to see her?

She slowly raised her head and took a closer look, this charming eyebrows, this delicate face, this... Such a tall figure......

Xiao Wanyan was dumbfounded, stunned, this was clearly Qu Xiaoran who was wearing women's clothes and slightly modified, she immediately walked to Qu Xiaoran's side, pulled her sleeve, looked around her one by one, and smacked her lips: "Qu Xiaoran, although our Liang respects women, but we don't want to see shemales, you can't be a bad brain, you are dressed like this." ”

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Qu Xiaoran became angry, he stretched his face, and snorted angrily: "It's not that cunning Chu Huairan, he said that it's okay to enter the mansion if he wants to, but he can't stay by your side as a man, for fear of being gossiped by others." ”

He couldn't get angry in his heart, and said: "I don't believe that he is the kind of person who is afraid of being gossiped, he just sees me as better looking than him, and wants to fix me." ”

Xiao Wanyan couldn't help laughing, leaning back and forth with a smile: "Chu Huairan is so deep in my heart, I have such a handsome little girl by my side." ”

Seeing Qu Xiaoran's woman's appearance in this way, no wonder Jiuli looked at her alone, thinking of Jiuli Xiao Wanyan, she couldn't laugh again, thinking of Jiuli's legs that were abolished by Feng Ruyi, thinking of Feng Ruyi's abnormal means of plotting to usurp the throne, she darkened her expression: "That's it, with you by my side, everything is much easier, Chu Huairan is suspicious of you?" ”

Qu Xiaoran thought about it carefully, and shook his head again: "There shouldn't be, it's just a little strange, he seems to know the proprietress of Baihuafang, and the two are very familiar, even my deed of sale He only said one sentence, and the proprietress gave it to him obediently." ”

The proprietress of Baihuafang, Xiao Wanyan has some impressions, she seems to have taken a photo when she went with Qi Jiuyue before, she is a sleek woman who can not be offended, and she is coquettish, and her eyebrows and eyes are seductive, even if she and Chu Huairan really have a leg, it is not surprising.

Then Qu Xiaoran took out a jasper token from his arms, and there was a lotus carved on it, which was the symbol of the royal family of Daliang, he put the token in Xiao Wanyan's hand, knelt down on one knee seriously, and said respectfully: "Empress, since I arrived in Da Zhou, I didn't want to return to Daliang for a moment, and the slaves sent here by the slaves sent by Daliang were collected, in order to wish you to regain the throne one day, this is the token, as long as you give an order, the people of Daliang will go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, at any cost." ”

At this moment, Xiao Wanyan felt emotion in her heart, as if it had been so long before she saw the hope of revenge, she was no longer alone, she still had people who believed in her.

Xiao Wanyan took the token in her hand, and the lost peace of mind came back in a while, she helped Qu Xiaoran up, and said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as I am alive, I must let Feng Ruyi pay the price she deserves." ”

That's it, Qu Xiaoran took out another piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it to her: "Empress, I sent someone back to Daliang before to find out that there is a suspicion of the death of the Emperor Taishang, we found a pinhole in the neck of the Emperor Taishang, and found a team of suspicious dead soldiers outside the tomb of the Emperor Taishang, after being caught by our people, they all took poison and died, and their arms were carved with such patterns. ”

Xiao Wanyan opened the letter paper, and a circular ball was drawn on the paper, and inside was a strange totem, like a messy smudge, and the shape could not be seen.

She held the paper tightly: "Back then, the mother queen was old but her body was still quite strong, and she became terminally ill overnight, no wonder, it turned out that someone harmed the mother emperor, these people deserve to die, I must pay them blood debts." ”

She tore up the paper and threw it into the brazier, looking at the flames that were burning more and more, she had the idea of a quick decision: "I want to return to Daliang as soon as possible, otherwise Feng Ruyi is willing to kill all my people, Xiao Ran, in a few days the envoys of Daliang will visit, do you know who is coming?" ”

Qu Xiaoran pursed her lips and looked at her hesitantly: "It's a surprise." ”

This name is like a lifetime, the man she said she wanted to live for a lifetime, the man she dismissed the harem for, who knew that he was also the man who hurt her the most, Xiao Wanyan sighed melancholy, and then a cold light burst out in her eyes, and she said firmly: "Send people to block the way of the envoys, rob their belongings, and enrich our team." ”

To expand the team, the most important thing is money, but now she has nothing but the existing shop in her hand, and the original owner has not brought much dowry at all, if she takes a lot of money from the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will definitely arouse Chu Huairan's suspicion, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time.

She walked to the dresser, picked up the bronze box, and handed the deed to Qu Xiaoran: "This shop has a good location, it should be able to have a lot of income in a short time, you call a few people to run the store, slowly expand the store, and wait for the money to buy weapons, and the rest will be talked about later." ”

"Yes."

"Knock knock" A knock on the door sounded, Xiao Wanyan immediately tightened her nerves, looked out of the door and said, "Who?" ”

Chu Huairan's voice echoed outside the door: "It's me." ”

Hearing Chu Huairan's voice made Xiao Wanyan feel surprised, he never knocked on the door wherever he went on weekdays, what happened today, she suppressed her throat, quickly lay down on the bed, covered the quilt and said, "Xiangye, I'm asleep, do you have something?" ”

There was suddenly no sound outside the door, and a strange atmosphere filled the air, followed by Chu Huairan's rather unnatural voice: "Your father is home, if you have time, you can go with me to see it." ”

The person who was going to be beheaded was released again, or Chu Huairan came to tell her the news in person, should he have another plan, Xiao Wanyan paused and said: "I am relieved that my father is fine, as for going back, I don't think it is necessary, my father has suffered so much and needs to rest more, we don't want to bother." ”

As he spoke, Chu Huairan actually pushed the door and walked in, and the frightened Xiao Wanyan immediately wrapped the quilt, who expected that Chu Huairan was the first to see Qu Xiaoran who was guarding the side as soon as he came in, his face darkened, he glanced at him, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qu Xiaoran immediately lowered his head: "Madame is hungry, so the servant asked the back kitchen to make some cakes and bring them over to Madame." ”

Chu Huairan's gaze looked at him a few times, and then he didn't stay long, but instead frightened Xiao Wanyan into a panic, for fear that he would notice something.

Chu Huai's face pale; "Let's get out."

Qi Xiaoran shook his body and walked out quickly.

For a while, there were only two of them left in the room, Xiao Wanyan slowly sat up, lowered her eyes and didn't look at him: "What's the matter with Xiangye?" ”

Seeing that her expression was wrong, and thinking that her anger had not subsided, Chu Huairan immediately showed a warm look, and said slowly: "It was her husband's fault in the carriage just now, so don't be angry." ”

Xiao Wanyan was stunned, that abnormal Chu Huairan came back, this person is not very nervous, always changing back and forth, but, after a period of getting along, I don't know if I got used to it, or Chu Huairan's attitude has become better, in short, it is much gentler than at the beginning.

Seeing that Xiao Wanyan didn't speak, he was a little embarrassed, and took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it in his hand: "I heard that you like this, so I asked someone to find it, do you still like it?" ”
