When Xiu Min left the camp of the King of Chu, it was a cold day, and he was stunned by a layer of sweat on his back. He didn't expect to see the King of Chu again, let alone that the King of Chu he saw and the King of Chu in his impression could no longer coincide, and he couldn't say what was wrong, the appearance was still the same, but the coldness in his bones reminded him of a bloodthirsty wolf, or the kind of hungry wolf who hadn't eaten for a long time and could chase you on eighteen mountains.

When they spoke, the king of Chu dispersed all the people in the house, and only the two of them were left, that feeling is still a little regretful in retrospect, Xiu Min can be a scholar, it's not that he hasn't seen the wind and waves, but he feels that there is no danger just now, as if the king of Chu is the wolf that caught up, although his face is expressionless, but he may bite you at any time, so that when he speaks, he is extremely cautious, for fear that if he doesn't say a word correctly, he will die miserably.

He is a civil official, he knows how to speak to make himself safer, and he typed a draft on the way here, but in front of the King of Chu, his good words always seem to be a little incoherent, and a very smooth passage was stumbled by him.

The king of Chu sat in the chair, glanced at the secret letter, lit a fire and burned it, and then said nothing, and when he finished speaking, he didn't say anything, so he sat like that for a long time.

Xiu Min originally planned to mention Xiu Yuanshuang if he had the opportunity, but during that period of silence to the point of suffocation, he couldn't think of anything except sweating vigorously, and even if he did, he probably didn't dare to mention it.

He thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why the King of Chu wanted to sit with him for so long? But he swore that there would never be a second time, it was too scary.

It wasn't until he entered the city that he let go of his hanging heart, straightened his robe, straightened his hat, and looked like a respected bachelor.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw the little eunuch waiting on the side of the sky street with a sedan chair, and when I saw him, I hurriedly stepped forward to call a thousand, "Master Xiu, the emperor is waiting, you can get on the sedan chair quickly." ”

He knew that the emperor was waiting anxiously, so he didn't say much, and got into the sedan chair, which swayed, and soon arrived at the Chengde Palace.

Gao Shenghai waited at the outer door, saw the sedan chair coming, and personally stepped forward to open the curtain, "Master Xiu has worked hard, come in, the emperor is waiting." ”

Xiu Min strode into the hall, the emperor was originally lazily leaning on the soft couch, and when he saw him, he immediately sat up straight, "How is it, what did the King of Chu say?" ”

Prime Minister Bai on the side was also staring at him nervously.

Xiu Min stepped forward and saluted, very embarrassed, the king of Chu kept him for so long, but he kept his mouth shut, how did he answer.

He hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, the King of Chu read the secret letter you gave him and said, he knows." ”

The emperor wanted to hear the following with a look of anticipation: "What else?" ”

"It's gone."

"Gone?" The emperor didn't believe it: "You have been gone for so long, and he said these four words?" ”

"Yes, the old minister brought all the emperor's words," Xiu Min said, "The king of Chu looked calm, and said those four words." ”

"Did he read the secret letter I gave him?"

"I read it very seriously, word for word."

"And then?"

"After reading the secret letter, the king of Chu lit a fire and burned it."

"Burned?"

"Yes, burned to ashes."

The emperor exhaled, looked a little incomprehensible, leaned back on the soft pillow, thought for a while, and asked Bai Ruyu: "Prime Minister, what do you think the King of Chu means when he says he knows?" ”

Prime Minister Bai thought for a while, "The old minister's understanding is that the King of Chu believed the secret letter. ”

"What will he do next?"

"I must be suspicious of the prince."

"Will there be a siege of the city?"

Prime Minister Bai: "This...... The old minister thought that at least not for a short time, and that he would have to take the time to figure things out. ”

The emperor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good, if we have time, we can figure out a way...... You say, if the king of Chu is suspicious of the crown prince, will he come back to me? After a pause, as if talking to himself, "If he turns his face with the prince, and he doesn't want to be the emperor, won't I have to take care of the world, this time, as long as he is willing to come back, I will not pursue the past, and I will treat him well in the future, I have a good relationship with him, and it was all instigated by the prince...... The prince is so hateful! ”

"That's right, the king of Chu and the emperor have a deep brotherhood, if it weren't for the princess of Chu this time, he wouldn't have been able to go north, it was the prince who was making a ghost in the middle."

Seeing the two of them asking and answering, Xiu Min talked to himself, and sighed in his heart, if the emperor and Prime Minister Bai had seen the current King of Chu, they probably wouldn't think like this.

Coming out of the palace, he was going to go home, but when he walked for a while, he asked the palanquin man to stop, lifted the curtain and looked at the other side of Jinsheng Street, his eldest daughter was still living in the Chu Wang's Mansion with the gate closed, he hadn't seen her for a while, and he suddenly wanted to see her.

The side doors of the door were closed, he knocked for a long time, and finally a small guy rubbed his eyes and opened the door a crack, and when he saw that it was him, he immediately put on a smiling face, "It turned out to be Master Xiu, please come in." ”

Xiu Min stepped forward and scolded him in a low voice, "Where are you going to take a nap again, you don't know if the thieves come and remove the door." ”

The doorkeeper closed the door and said with a smile: "How can any thief come here, besides, the slave didn't take a nap, he just walked away for a while, and he was conscientious on weekdays." ”

Xiu Min didn't bother to hold on to him, and asked, "How is your princess doing?" ”

"The princess is very good, she eats well, sleeps peacefully, and is in good spirits."

Xiu Min didn't say anything, although Xiu Yuanshuang was his daughter, but when he thought about some things, he felt admired, the king of Chu threw her down and walked away, she didn't hum or ha, and lived in the mansion with her own dowry. It's not bad, planting flowers and making wine, reading books and being a female celebrity, very calm, very fulfilling, not the resentful woman he imagined, the flowers and plants withered in winter, she copied the scriptures and Buddha, these few times I came to see her, I vaguely felt that she had a taste of birth. These things have to be left to ordinary people, and no one can live like her.

At the beginning, he was selfish, and like Bai Ruyu, he wanted to send his daughter to the palace, pointing to the fact that the queen would not live long and that she would have the opportunity to become a phoenix, but unfortunately, Bai Ruyu's daughter went in, but his daughter was pointed out to the king of Chu by the emperor, and he wasted his hard work in vain. It's a pity that his fate is not good, he thought that he could be a concubine when he entered the palace of the king of Chu, but he didn't do it, and the king of Chu ran away after the princess of Chu and threw her down.

Now that the King of Chu is on the outskirts of Lin'an, she must have heard the news, he is not as optimistic as the emperor, and some things have to be planned in advance.
