Chapter 442: Horse's Feet

After the meal, everyone threw a pot for a while, rode a horse in the horse farm for a while, the eldest princess was itchy and proposed to talk about a few games, so everyone returned to Jiuqu to return to the dead, Xiao Yu ordered people to set up a chess room in Jiuqu Pavilion.

Although the North Wind looks like a fairy wind bone, he doesn't like to play chess at all, he likes to roll dice the most, and the gameplay of Fengshen Valley is very different from that of the capital, Zhou Hexi and Qinghui County Lord were both attracted, and unconsciously played dice with this pair of funny grandchildren.

I don't know how to carry it, after five or six rounds, Zhou Hexi lost all the scattered silver on his body.

"I don't play, I don't play, I always lose, I'm bored." Zhou Hexi was about to leave the table, but the lord of Qinghui was in high spirits, not to mention that she had won several handfuls, and the broken silver in front of her was like a mountain, and she refused to let her go no matter what, a certain woman was struggling with whether to tell the truth, Xiao Yu ordered the maid to bring her a plate full of silver and gold bills, "Your Highness said, although you have fun, there are not enough plates." ”

The county lord of Qinghui trembled with laughter, and Zhou Hexi didn't know whether to be happy or sad with the plate of white flowers and golden treasures. Looking up at Xiao Yu, he was concentrating on fighting with the eldest princess, sitting straight as loose, and his side face was flawless, just one glance made her heart beat like a drum, and she quickly collected her mind.

really responded to the girl's words, a plate full of treasures was lost by her three taels or two taels in less than half an hour, Zhou Hexi completely lost interest in dice rolling, and refused to play again. When the county lord of Qinghui smiled and filled the cloth bag with silver and gold, Zhou Hexi sneaked to Xiao Yu's side and sat quietly to watch chess.

The eldest princess was very surprised, "Lost so quickly?" ”

"Hmm. I won't play. Needless to say, her face was already red and she couldn't look at it.

"Someone ...... coming"

"Oh, no, I don't want to play, I just want to see you play chess." Zhou Hexi guessed that Xiao Yu was going to give her silver again, so he interrupted first.

"Alright, you can stay here." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he rubbed her head dotingly, ignoring the presence of the eldest princess.

Zhou Hexi only felt that his brain "boomed" and then it crashed.

Fortunately, the eldest princess didn't notice it, at this moment, she was concentrating on how to break the situation, Xiao Yu ordered someone to bring tea and pastries to Zhou Hexi, and it took a while to calm down.

This pair of sisters and brothers can be called chess opponents, whether it is strategy or pattern, it has opened Zhou Hexi's eyes, and slowly, she is also addicted to it, and even, she didn't find out when the eldest princess chatted with Xiao Yu.

It wasn't until the eldest princess suddenly talked about the Lin family that she came back to her senses.

"In the case of Lin Qi's embezzlement of ink, the evidence is conclusive, why did His Majesty delay in dealing with it?" The eldest princess's tone was flat, and the speed of falling was a little slower.

Lin Qi is the former Lin Shoufu and Lin Jingshu's father. After the fall of the prince's party, Lin Qi took the initiative to resign to save himself, and Emperor Yongchang released him because he had not participated in the forced palace and had no knowledge of the rebellion of Empress Xiao and King Shou.

"Old Man Lin died suddenly, Your Majesty thought of the past, I'm afraid he wanted to wait for the old man's funeral to pass before curing Lin Qi's sin."

Old Man Lin refers to Lin Jingshu's grandfather, the first assistant of the cabinet of the First Emperor Dynasty. Speaking of which, the Lin family is quite remarkable, one subject and two auxiliaries, for two dynasties, and unconsciously, the Lin family has become a role model for the hard work of the world's poor students.

What Zhou Hexi doesn't understand is that Lin Qi, who has always prided himself on his two sleeves, how dare he be greedy for ink at the knots? Such a low-level mistake really shouldn't be.

"It's a pity, a role model for students all over the world." The eldest princess sighed and asked again, "What do you think Your Majesty will judge?" ”

"Raid the house." Xiao Yu's tone was firm.

Before his words landed, he only heard the sound of "knock knock" one after another, and everyone heard the voice, only to see Kang Zhuang's face pale and fall to the ground, copper kettles, copper cups scattered all over the ground, tea splashed on the ground, table legs, chair legs, very messy.

Her eyes were straight as if she had lost her soul, and she didn't come back to her senses until the eldest princess drank it, and even said "slave damned", and crawled to pick up the scattered teapots and teacups.

It took a long time for Kang Zhuang to wipe the ground clean, and he hurriedly retreated with the plate, and even forgot the process of saluting the master.

Zhou Hexi looked at her back as she left in a hurry, thoughtful......

She hadn't been unsuspicious, but the thought that it might have been too frightening, weird, and unfounded made she put it away. But just now, the eldest princess mentioned the Lin family without warning, and after Kang Zhuang heard the news that the Lin family was about to be raided, the shocked and sad reaction made her have to regain her former association.

Could it be that Kangzhuang is really Lin Jingshu?

At the beginning, the news of the death of the eldest lady of the Lin family was deliberately released by the Lin family? In fact, she cheated to death, put aside Lin Jingshu's name, became the maid Kangzhuang beside the Empress Dowager Li, and finally came to Xiao Yu through the means of the Empress Dowager Li?

If that's the case, this woman is terrible.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yu rubbed her head again.

Zhou Hexi, who was frightened a little, ignored the discomfort, shook his head dumbly, and said that it was nothing. She had the heart to continue to listen to the Lin family's affairs, but the eldest princess and Xiao Yu seemed to have made an appointment, and no one mentioned it anymore, nor did they discuss other topics, which made the conversation just now more abrupt and had ulterior motives.

At this point, Zhou Hexi is almost certain of his guess.

Not long after, Liu Wu suddenly came to the attic, under Xiao Yu's signal, he attached himself to the master's ear and whispered a few words, seeing that the master did not show anything, and left in a hurry.

Because it was very close, Zhou Hexi vaguely heard Liu Wu say: "Kangzhuang wanted to deliver the news to the outside world, but found that the original pulse was broken, so she wanted to escape, and the dog hole was discovered by her...... However, she suddenly returned to the room and locked it from the inside. ”

Kang Zhuang is the queen mother's person, she came to King Sheng's Mansion with a plan and purpose, and she can deliver news outside, Zhou Hexi doesn't feel strange at all. However, now that the backer behind her has collapsed, and the Lin family is too busy to take care of herself, even if she escapes, where can she go?

What made Zhou Hexi feel even more strange was that at the last moment, she stopped moving forward and did not escape.

The eldest princess and Xiao Yu finished the endgame, and the two tied again, and then closed the chess game. The group of people who threw the dice on the opposite side was also coming to an end, and the county lord of Qinghui won two bags of broken silver, and the smile in the corners of his eyes could not be hidden.

Zhou Hexi didn't know that Qinghui's gambling skills were so good, and he was in awe.

At this time, when the sky was full of sunset, the scenery was just right, Xiao Yu proposed to go to the lake for a walk, the eldest princess and others refused politely, and soon, only Zhou Hexi and Xiao Yu were left in the attic.

"It seems that I have to accompany His Highness for a walk."

"Don't worry, let me take a good look." Xiao Yu stood up, and his tall figure instantly shrouded a certain woman in the shadows.
