Chapter IV Generals

As soon as the cell entered and exited, it only took half an hour for Chu Tian to figure out the truth, and everything was as she expected. Shion is a pawn, and a pawn that knows almost nothing but action.

A few months ago, Shiyin sold herself on the street to ask for money to save her sick brother and mother, and the housekeeper of Xiao Wei's mansion gave her money, and also found Lang Zhong to save her family. She went back to the house to follow the housekeeper. The housekeeper treated her very well, and found a good private school for her younger brother to study. So she willingly did things for the housekeeper.

The housekeeper arranged for her to come to the prince's mansion and also arranged for her to be poisoned, and the housekeeper said that he would not find out if he acted according to the plan. She didn't know the rest, and she didn't care.

=====

The next morning, before the light of day, Chu Qian woke up, but in fact, he didn't feel the slightest sleep. She had to figure out who General Xiao Wei was and what was at stake. With his current identity, he still has to worry about acting.

She thinks it's best to ask Zhixi about this, firstly, because he is sure that he knows all the forces in the DPRK and China, secondly, because she can't tell whether this person just wants to kill Qingyue or kill Zhixi together, and third, she still wants to talk to Zhixi, after all, he is a noble son who laughs and falls into the city.

Chu Tian walked to the courtyard where the study was located, looked at the begonias in that courtyard, and felt a little kind, and remembered the flowers on the other side of the mountains and fields on Huangquan Road. In the underworld, Chu Tian often wears a flower sachet on the other side, but Qingyue doesn't seem to like sachets, and Chu Tian rummaged through her belongings and didn't see a sachet.

It is a good choice for this begonia flower to be used as a sachet, and Chu Tian began to pick it carefully in the yard. Picking and picking, I wondered if I should make one for Qiao'er, so I let it go.

With a creak, the door to the study opened. Chu Tian's hand picking flowers stopped in mid-air, and looked at the study incredibly, feeling like being caught red-handed as a thief.

Zhixi said expressionlessly: "If I don't come out again, the flowers will be picked by you." The voice revealed dissatisfaction.

Chu poured a smile on his face, a little weak-hearted: "Hehe." I, I thought you were still sleeping, I had something important to look for you. ”

Zhixi stared at the handful of flowers in Chu Tian's hand unsatisfied, and lowered his voice and said, "Come in." ”

Zhixi went in and sat down at the desk, but his eyes still didn't take his eyes off the begonia in Chu Tian's hand. Chu took a breath, and felt uneasy that the matter had not been done.

Chu tilted his head, put the flower on the table beside him, and sat down dignifiedly. Glimpsing a smear of white outside the window, it should be Qiao'er.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhixi's tone was cold.

Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said eloquently: "When I asked about Shiyin last night, she said that she sold herself into the mansion, but when she heard her say that she was a relative, she was a little vague. ”

Zhixi moved his gaze from the begonia flower to Chu Tian's face, and said with a shallow thought: "That's right." She has a younger brother and mother who are not in good health. She sold herself into slavery in order to earn two taels of silver for them. What's wrong? ”

Chu Tian continued: "I didn't ask her about any obvious flaws. But last night I dreamed that she said that she had been a slave in the General Xiao Wei's mansion before, and it was the housekeeper of the General's Mansion who bought her, settled her family, treated her mother and brother, and sent her brother to the school. It was the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion who asked her to come to your mansion. Chu paused and said, "I know you think it's a bit ridiculous, and I think it's ridiculous myself, but the things I dreamed about recently have come true, and I have to doubt General Xiao Wei." ”

Zhixi's expression was a little complicated, and he looked at the table: "Xiao Wei? Can this dream be true? "It's like talking to yourself.

Chu said: "Actually, it's okay not to believe in this dream. Carefully check her family and acquaintances around her, ask about the time of medical treatment, which doctor she found, and what school her brother went to, and there will be some clues. Just ......"

Zhixi nodded slightly, feeling that Chu Tian made sense, and asked, "Just what?" ”

Boom, knock on the door. Immediately, someone said: "The Seventh Prince." ”

Zhixi was not surprised, and said, "Come in." ”

A man who looked like a guard walked in, dressed in dark clothes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes were quite aura.

Seeing Chu leaning there, he was a little stunned and sighed. Then he felt rude, so he said: "See the Seven Princes, the Seven Imperial Concubines." ”

Seeing his reaction, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he tapped his chin and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

The guard sat down without hesitation.

Chu Tian was looking at this guard, and Zhixi said, "What did you just want to say?" ”

"Uh......" Chu Tian's gaze glanced at the guard, not knowing whether to continue.

Zhixi saw her concerns and said, "This is Hua Nian, my personal guard, who has followed me for many years. You don't have to scruple in front of him. ”

Chu was surprised: "It's just that I want to know, what does Xiao Weike have with you?" Or with Qin Xiang, what is my father's holiday? ”

"Xiao Wei? Why did the Seven Imperial Concubines say this? Hua Nian asked Chu Qian in surprise.

Zhixi said indifferently: "The poisoning may be related to Xiao Wei." ”

Hua Nian stood up suddenly when he heard this, and there was a hint of suppressed anger in his tone: "The prince finally couldn't help but make a move." As soon as he made a move, he was going to poison His Highness. How vicious. I don't think it's better for me to go directly and take his head, so that he won't do anything wrong. ”

Zhixi's tone was as calm as before: "At this time, the conclusion is still undecided, don't talk nonsense." ”

Chu Tian felt that although Hua Nian was a little arrogant, he seemed to be a brave and loyal person with a temperament when he heard the words, and Chu Tian couldn't help but smile. She also sorted out this relationship, and it seems that General Xiao Wei is the prince's person. And the crown prince probably did not get along with the seventh prince.

This contradiction has risen to the realm of causing death, and it is likely that the reason for this discord is the struggle for imperial power. Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the heavenly family, and there is a lot of flesh and blood on the road to imperial power. Reasonable, expected.

Hua Nian was puzzled when he saw Chu Tian's smile, and asked, "What is the princess laughing at?" ”

Chu Tiancai felt that it was indeed inappropriate for him to smile like this as a theatergoer, and immediately said: "You are straightforward and quick to laugh, but you are arrogant." ”

This compliment made Hua Nian a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "Imperial Concubine Xie praises." ”

Zhixi coughed lightly, and his imperial concubine praised his guards, although he didn't care about it, he still felt a little unaccustomed.

Chu Tian immediately spoke: "However, the crown prince has General Xiao Wei, so who are the seven princes?" ”

Hua Nian's eyes widened and he said anxiously: "What does the imperial concubine mean by this?" How can Xiao Wei be compared to the Seven Princes. Although Xiao Wei held a quarter of the strength of the Han Kingdom, he had no ability to govern the army, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and loved Ronghua. It's someone we look down on. The Seven Princes were originally the generals who led the army to fight the country, and they did not need others, and they were in charge of a quarter of the strength of the Han Kingdom, and we were all brothers who were born and died with the Seven Princes, and they were true warriors who had seen the King of Hades walk through the Shura field. The Seven Princes, strategic, wise and brave, born beautiful......"

Poof, the tea that Zhixi had just taken a sip almost squirted out.

"Eh, I was wrong." Hua Nian immediately corrected: "Born noble, dedicated to the country, the people, he is the most suitable ......"

Zhixi wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth and interrupted Hua Nian and said, "Okay, don't say it." He immediately coughed and pretended to be calm: "He usually speaks little in front of outsiders, but only in front of me can he speak so freely." ”

Hua Nian realized that he had praised the prince too much, and immediately hugged his fist to Chu and said: "What you said is true, but today I heard that the prince intends to harm the prince, so the words are a little fierce, and I hope the seventh princess will forgive me." ”

Chu Tian held back a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay." I've already said what I want to say about the prince, and I've asked about what I want to ask. I won't bother you both. As he spoke, he shook the flowers on the table and was about to leave.

Zhixi said: "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." I'll let you know if there's any news. ”

Chu Qian nodded knowingly, got up and left.

"Yikes! The Seven Imperial Concubines picked so many begonia flowers outside the courtyard? This begonia flower is very cherished by the seven princes, and people are not allowed to approach it on weekdays. Hua Nian's voice raised three degrees.

Which pot is not opened, Chu Tian glared at Hua Nian, turned around and smiled at Zhixi, and met the coldness of his face. Chu Tian immediately fled and left the study, and when he went out, he was knocked by the threshold, and he almost became a fairy scattering flowers.
