Summer is approaching, and the sky is already dark.

Most of the people in the house haven't gotten up yet, but Xiao Cui, who is Chen Xiaoyun's personal maid, has already gotten up. She is so diligent, no wonder she is valued by her master.

However, the first thing she did after getting up was not to go to the main house to serve Chen Xiaoyun, but secretly opened the courtyard door. sent a man out of the courtyard where Chen Xiaoyun lived.

This scene is still seen, and I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause. But all of this went on very secretly, and unrelated people did not find out.

She reminded the man passing by, "I promised that one favor only." Now that this favor has been helped, I don't owe her anything. ”

The man was slightly inconvenient to move, and seemed to be injured.

He saluted Xiaocui seriously: "Thank you, girl, for your help." I will convey your words. ”

Xiao Cui waited for him to go out, and was about to lock the courtyard door, when he saw someone walking in from a distance. I was slightly frightened, and I wanted to go forward and stop him, but I saw that the man did not approach the courtyard and stopped far away.

The man walked straight to the man.

Xiao Cui couldn't really see the person's appearance, but the man's movements of supporting the injured man could be seen clearly.

Does the man still have a helper in this house? This must be reminded of the master.

When the figures of the two of them were no longer visible, she locked the far door and entered Chen Xiaoyun's bedroom.

Li Yi naturally didn't sleep much at night, and there was a man in the clean room next door, no matter how big her heart was, it was impossible to sleep. I just pretended to be sleepy because I didn't want to stay with him.

Just call the system in your head and talk to the system.

Through the system, she learned more about the world in which she lived.

The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united...... Ahem, wrong, it's not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Now there are indeed three countries in the world.

Qingguo, to which Chen Xiaoyun belongs, is the smallest and richest of the three countries in China. The small land area of Qingguo makes it difficult to develop agriculture, so the state encourages people to do business, and is not as strict with merchants as other countries.

The largest Zhou State in terms of area is the oldest of the three countries. It has the largest population and the most complete religious system. And the people of Zhou valued literature over military force. I feel that people in other countries are barbaric, do not know how to be polite, and look down on people from other two countries.

The Chu people are martial and the people are strong. Three hundred years ago, the state of Chu was only a fief of the princes of the Zhou state. The founding emperor of the state of Chu relied on the financial support of the Emperor Qingguo, supported his troops and respected himself, and finally established himself as king. They used three hundred years to slowly erode the land of the Zhou State. Now the area is larger than that of Qingguo.

These three countries are neighbors of each other, and relations have been good and bad.

In general, the Chu people are still closer to the Qing people. After all, it was with Qingguo's funding that they were able to establish the country.

Although Zhou Guo was dissatisfied with what Qingguo had done, he did not dare to make enemies with two countries at the same time. Sometimes you have to win over Qingguo to defend against Chu.

Although the state of Chu is brave, its foundation is not heavy. The people don't have a strong sense of belonging here. Most of them identified themselves as Zhou people, and they did not agree with the frequent use of troops against the Zhou State.

The most recent was a period of peace between the three countries, and there has been no war for 30 years.

Li Yi didn't care about any of this. She is just the daughter of a petty official in Qingguo, who does not go out of the gate all day long, and does not step out of the second door, and her biggest wish is to make good food, and she has no chance to meet people from other countries. So just listen to these things as stories.

She specially asked Lin Zehai to the system to verify the authenticity of his previous introduction.

The system gave her a detailed explanation: The emperor of Qingguo is now 60 years old, and his health has not been very good. The method of immortality that he wants to seek, so he is addicted to alchemy and has no intention of political affairs.

The emperor liked beauties when he was young, and there were more than 200 high-ranking concubines canonized per kilometer.

It is a pity that these more than 200 people only gave birth to three sons and 15 daughters. My daughters have grown up safely. Of the three sons, only one survived to adulthood. is also the rightful prince. Name, Lin Tiankuo, 16 years old this year.

Lin Tiankuo, the prince, did it smoothly, he didn't need to form a party for personal gain, and he didn't need to disobey the yang and the yin. The emperor doesn't ask about political affairs, he handles it on his behalf. The ministers of the DPRK and China also listened to his orders, after all, he was the only heir of Qingguo.

Until half a year ago, the old emperor suddenly announced that he also had a son who was raised outside the palace, who was 16 years old, and wanted to take him back to the palace.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole country was in an uproar. The courtiers wrote one after another, and some congratulated the emperor, saying that one more prince would be more blessed; There are people like the emperor said, one more prince will be unstable.

The old emperor was indeed very calm, and directly said that this was my family matter, and you had no right to ask, so he sent the courtiers away.

It is strange that the crown prince, who should have opposed the most fiercely, did not act excesses. Many people speculate that he was very calm on the surface, but behind his back he followed the team sent by the old emperor to pick up people and assassinated Lin Zehai.

What the system said is consistent with what Lin Zehai said, and it seems that he did not lie to himself. He's not in a good place.

The two sons are the same age, and the emperor is old, so under normal circumstances, they will definitely fight each other.

It's just that this Lin Zehai has just entered Beijing, how can he fight Lin Tiankuo, who has been in business for many years and is already a prince? Did the old emperor really help him or harm him?

Unless the old emperor lives long enough to give Lin Zehai enough time to develop his power. Or, he had already helped Lin Zehai cultivate a lot of henchmen in advance, otherwise he would definitely be beaten once he met Lin Tiankuo.

Lin Zehai's assassination seems to have confirmed some people's speculation.

Li Yi felt that Lin Tiankuo didn't need to do this at all - instead of assassinating Lin Zehai, it would be better to give the old emperor a medicine or something, and then he would say that he was old and frail, and he couldn't be treated, and he didn't have the skills to return to heaven.

However, if he was reluctant to take into account the family relationship between the old emperor and the old emperor, it was also possible to kill Lin Zehai. Do you want the throne or family affection? This is a question that many people in the world she once lived in answered the former.

Why did she think so much about him?

Because she's so bored, she'll go crazy if she doesn't find something interesting to do to pass the time!

Hey? What was that?

It seems that the clean room window has been opened. Did he want to climb the window? The injury to his back affected his mobility, and Li Yi could tell that his movements were not very smooth.

For a moment, she wanted to go over and stop him and let him go through the front door, but reason stopped her. It's better for two people not to cross paths again.

The next door is finally quiet and I can sleep in peace. She cleared her consciousness and planned to sleep before getting up. The last thought on her mind before she fell asleep was, "How did he get out of the yard?" ”

Xiaocui came in and saw Xiaohong and Chen Xiaoyun, one on the couch and the other on the bed, both sleeping sweetly, and couldn't help but shake their heads funny.
