The dust has settled on the Yuanhai murder case, and there is no need for Chen Shi and his wife to stay in the palace of King Wu.
On this day, the wind and snow are blowing, and the corners of the plum blossoms are dark.
Under the window in the house, the spring return soup brewed a pot of fragrant tea, poured out a lamp, and the smile was as warm as soup: "It is really my fault to trap the virtuous couple in the palace of Wu for a long time, if it were not for the whim of the day and the lady to make friends, the virtuous couple would not be in danger of suffering from unwarranted disasters, fortunately, everything is finally revealed, if the virtuous couple are willing, it is better to stay in the palace of Wu to celebrate the New Year, and wait for the grandson and me to prepare a banquet, which can be regarded as a shock for the virtuous couple." โ
"The pleasant beauty of Chu Chu should not be shirked, but the grandson has really been concerned about Fengjun Pavilion for a long time, I heard that I can finally go back, it is really like an arrow, and the grandson and Chu Chu because of Deputy Zhao and the pleasant protection, not only spared the pain of flesh and skin, but even a little frightened, should be grateful, how dare to be a pleasant escort to apologize? Fortunately, seeing that Mr. Hua's body has recovered, his grandson has finally lived up to his entrustment, and now he says goodbye to Yiren, and he does not feel guilty in his heart. โ
Chungui didn't leave them much when he heard this: "Even if this is the case, I hope that Mr. and Mrs. Xian will accept a few small gifts prepared by my grandson and me, and don't refrain from refusing again." โ
Chu Chu thanked him and said goodbye.
The spring return is still in the tea house here, as if he is really appreciating the red plum that is cold and blooming.
In fact, in this tea house, there are Jiao Xing present.
She was reporting on the "harvest" of this time.
"Chen Shi is indeed doing his best to take care of Hua Xiaoji's diet, although they often talk to each other, but they never mention me, but Chen Shi heard that the murder case of Yuan Gong came to light today, but he happily told Hua Xiaoji the good news, saying that the suspicion of the two of them was finally completely cleared, and said that even Yuan Ji, the evil culprit, has been executed, and there is no need to worry about the villains in the future, which is not good for his husband and wife, even the conversation between Chen Shi and Chu Chu and his wife has never revealed the slightest flaw, grandma ...... It's not that I can't believe the analysis of the grandmother, but it seems that Chen Shi and his wife really have no suspicion. โ
Chungui took a sip of tea: "Chen Shi has never been like a person who is clever and good at disguise, it can be said that he is as simple as a blank piece of paper, but Chu Chu has been in the scene for a long time, and it is like her instinct to look at her face and act on the spot, and it is difficult for me to see through her with my eyes alone." They have not revealed their flaws so far, there is a possibility that Chen Shi really does not know Chu Chu's true identity, so Chu Chu will not mention those conspiracies and tricks to him.
However, Chen Shi was persuaded by Chu Chu to establish diplomatic relations with Hua Xiaoji, although the two of them have left the Wu Palace, Hua Xiaoji will have an excuse to visit Fengjun Pavilion often in the future, and no longer arouse anyone's suspicion, so you need to go to Fengjun Pavilion to spy next, if my judgment is not bad, Chu Chu should have a private meeting with Hua Xiaoji, whether she obeys orders, whether Hua Xiaoji is an accomplice, there will be an answer soon. โ
"How did the eldest grandmother suspect Chu Chu?" Jiao Xing was really puzzled.
"It's because of the appearance of the Liang family that I have faint suspicions." Chungui no longer concealed Jiao Xing at this time: "Yuan Ji's conspiracy, the Liang family can be described as a key figure, but my acquaintance with Chu Chu was accidental, everything is too coincidental, but I was not sure at that time, until you were killed in the palace of King Wu for tracking Hua Xiaoji." You once said that Hua Xiaoji used to travel occasionally, so he may be outside the palace of King Wu
connected with people, but when Chu Chu arrived at the palace of King Wu, he never went out again, because the connector was already in the palace of King Wu like him, and he had no need to go out again. โ
"Grandma said this, it seems to make sense."
"There is another thing, the Liang family has never confessed to Chu Chu from beginning to end, but if Chu Chu really has nothing to do with the murder of Yuan Gong, why didn't the Liang family make the last struggle? Liang is a dead chess thrown by the opponent, but her utility is really too limited, so I suspect that Liang's real utility is not as simple as it seems. โ
"Grandma is suspicious, Liang is not Yuan Ji's person?"
"Yes, if Chu Chu is Hua Xiaoji's accomplice, then she and the Liang family, of course, are not at the mercy of Yuan Ji and King Linzi, Yuan Gong was killed, and there is one party behind the scenes, and they have achieved their goal."
"I'm going to stare at Chu Chu now." Jiao Xing didn't hesitate anymore.
In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve.
On this day, there was no banquet for Zhang Luo, she decided to go to the Anle House to accompany her uncle's family, because tomorrow she and Lan Xin will accompany Lan Ting to return to the clan and will not stay in the Wu Palace to keep the year, and Chun Gui, as a married daughter, is actually mourning for her grandfather, and has been removed according to the mourning system, although her mourning has not been reduced by the removal of clothes, but since she is in Nanjing, the annual Chinese New Year's Eve must be sacrificed with Lan Ting to her ancestral home and go to the New Year banquet.
On this night, King Zhou pulled Lan Ting to drink and talk in the Minghe Pavilion in Qinghui Garden.
"Speaking of good news from the capital, you and I haven't celebrated well, don't go back to your hometown tomorrow, leave me alone in this Wu Palace, and where is the interest of drinking and keeping the New Year, let's take advantage of tonight, come to a drunken end." King Zhou had a resentful tone.
The corners of De Lanting's mouth couldn't help twitching: "Which year did I accompany His Highness on Chinese New Year's Eve?" His Royal Highness is not still happy to come over, but it is not too hypocritical to say such sour words today. โ
"Don't really have no conscience, don't you understand my true feelings and sincerity in looking forward to spending the festive season with you tomorrow." King Zhou became more and more affectionate.
Lan Ting hurriedly raised his glass and touched him: "Drink and drink, save this chilling rhetoric." โ
The two clinked glasses again and again, and King Zhou sighed again: "We have known each other for many years, I still remember the beginning of the jealousy of the Emperor, when the first emperor seemed to me to be terrible like a demon beast, in front of the first emperor, our descendants are really frightened, even if I have the protection of the imperial grandmother, it is inevitable to be afraid of the day, but don't?" You can actually be held on the knee by the first emperor, and you are praised in public for your talent and intelligence, and you will be a pillar of talent in the future, even the majestic King Yan back then, his stubborn sons, only dare not bully you.
At that time, the fifth brother had a dispute with the Yan Wangfu and was slapped by the evil house, we should be angry and dare not speak out when the emperor and grandson of the East Palace dared not speak, it was not for you to come forward to teach the evil family, although the first emperor did not punish the Yan prince later, but he was willing to appease the fifth brother in person, my admiration for the evil at that time can be described as spontaneous, and since then I have determined to entangle you must become a close friend. โ
At that time, they were still children, and they had not even been officially enlightened, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and King Zhou is no longer the little emperor and grandson who is walking on thin ice, but he still has not forgotten many past events.
"When we became princes from the emperor's grandson, studied together in the palace, and became classmates, I will try to climb you, but Zhao Jibei, you were very cold to me at the beginning, if it weren't for my thick skin, you were afraid that you would not even be willing at this time
Take care of me. King Zhou snorted lightly.
"I have a cold face, and I don't mean to be distant."
"Yes, I also found out later that you are cold-faced and hot-hearted, looking old-fashioned, but uninhibited and free in your bones." King Zhou took a sip of wine and squinted his eyes with a smile: "But don't, it seems that now, I regret making friends with you." โ
Lan Ting frowned at King Zhou's smiling face.
"For I am more jealous of you than I was at the beginning." King Zhou raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and his smile also retracted: "If you and I are just the chief minister, and not a friend, maybe it is better, I will save myself from saying today." โ
"Your Highness is drunk, so let's stop here for today."
"I'm not drunk, I don't want you to know it."
"Your Highness can still take the court seriously and regard it as a close friend?"
"You don't want me to go on, you're avoiding it."
"There are some things that have already happened, and it is no longer possible to say 'if', just like His Royal Highness and the court used to be close friends, but now they are the ministers."
"Indeed, there are many things that have already happened, and they are irreversible." King Zhou pointed to his chest: "For example, I do have someone here who must win." โ
"For example, I have certain people who can't be separated." Lan Ting responded.
The two fell silent at the same time, their eyes met, and each did not give an inch.
It was King Zhou who took the lead in breaking the silence: "I don't know if I dare to give her another chance and choose a new opportunity?" โ
"I don't have to give her a chance, she can choose again whenever she wants."
"Don't you really have that confidence?"
Lan Ting didn't speak, he didn't expect that King Zhou would choose to "engage in close combat" with him today, and would announce that dangerous thought, things have evolved to such a bad point, if King Zhou's desires lead to a rational breakdown......
"As long as it is not what she wants, no matter what the situation, I will never back down, whether Your Highness is a friend of Zhao or a king, I will never compromise on coercion." Lan Ting got up: "Today, His Royal Highness's drunken words, Ting, I have never heard of it. โ
"There's one thing that shouldn't be kept in the dark, but I'm an insider." King Zhou once again stopped Lan Ting from leaving, and didn't care whether Lan Ting wanted to listen or not, and said to himself: "She has been hiding this matter, but she told me in private, it is in this Qinghui Garden, in the Minghe Pavilion. โ
King Zhou suppressed his voice and told Lan Ting about Chungui's ability to witness the undead: "So those who can psychic are never asked, I don't know whether to believe it or not, but I believe it...... Don't think you've never heard of what I've said today, but don't remember what you've said today, and don't stop her from making a decision at any time. โ
"Today's words, the court will treat it as if it has never heard of it, and I hope that His Royal Highness will put the overall situation first, and not because of his selfish selfishness, ignoring the danger of the society."
Lan Ting turned and left.
King Zhou held the wine, drank a few glasses, he raised his eyes to look at the dark sky, and closed his eyes lightly for a long time.
Zhao Lanting, thanks to you, when I heard what I said about this bastard, I won't be annoyed that I am stupid and stupid, if possible, please stop me, no matter whether it is you or I die in the end, there is always one of us who is willing to let go, you have to stop me from acting even more crazy.
