Zhang Xiuhe was upset, but he still showed a smile and said, "Well, you better go back first, if you come out all day, the people in the palace will definitely be in a hurry." Remember, get along with Qingdi when you go back, and don't say you've come to see me. ”

Xiaohu pouted, looked at Zhang Xiuhe and said, "Brother He, are you not like me now because I treated you like that before?" ”

Zhang Xiuhe hurriedly shook his head, then rubbed Xiaohu's hair with a smile, and said, "How come, you will always be my favorite sister." ”

"Then why did you let me go back to Jianye in the middle of the night? It's so cold now, I'm tired all day......" Xiaohu thought, his eyes moistened, because he really felt wronged...... She came all the way to him, and before she could say much, did she want to drive her away?

Zhang Xiuhe hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, so as not to let them flow, and then put on a worried and caring expression, and said: "Xiaohu, if Qingdi finds out that you have left Jianye, she will definitely look for you everywhere, if she finds out that you are here with me, won't she know that you have seen through her true colors?" How do we plan to proceed in the future? And if I'm not mistaken, she's all over the city looking for you by now, and if you don't return to the palace tomorrow morning, you'll be in trouble. ”

Xiaohu thought about it, when she left Jianye during the day, she didn't tell anyone, not to mention Qingdi, her third brother must be looking for her everywhere, she can't let her third brother worry.

Xiaohu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just go back." ”

"Well, but it's getting late now, it's really not safe for you to be alone, I'll send someone to find a carriage to come over, you can sleep in the car, and you will have the spirit to go to court tomorrow morning." After Zhang Xiuhe finished speaking, he went to order someone to prepare a spacious and comfortable carriage and sent Xiaohu to the car.

After the carriage left his sight, he finally couldn't help laughing, saying that feng shui takes turns, Qingdi and Chu Yaocen have been smooth for so long, and now they have finally turned to him?

Then, he's not welcome.

*

Zhang Xiuhe was right, Qingdi and the third prince found that Xiaohu was gone, and they heard the gatekeeper say that Xiaohu rode out of the palace, so Qingdi sent people to search the whole city, but after half a day, it was already very late, and Xiaohu's whereabouts were still not found.

The third prince was anxious and angry, and his eyes coldly swept over the palace maids and guards kneeling in front of him, they all served Xiaohu on weekdays, but now they don't even know where she went.

"A bunch of rubbish!" The third prince couldn't hold back and scolded those humanitarians.

Qing Di saw that his third prince's posture came out again, and hurriedly reminded: "You are more restrained, Master Stability!" ”

The third prince reacted suddenly, he is now a monk from the temple, not the third prince, and he really has no qualifications to scold these palace maids, so he hammered the table hard, pointed to the people in front of him and said to Qingdi: "These people can't even protect the princess, shouldn't they be punished?" ”

Qingdi waved his hand to let those guards and palace maids go down, and after the people were gone, Qingdi sighed and said: "Xiaohu is now in prison, and she is the most powerful woman in this country, who dares to stop Xiaohu among these palace maid guards?" Besides, people are obedient to Xiaohu, knowing that Xiaohu is gone, there is no duty to come and tell me, let alone tell you, why are you angry? ”

The third prince was so blocked by Qingdi that he couldn't speak, she was really telling the truth, now he is just a monk, and he is really not qualified to ask where the princess of a country has gone.

"I'm too worried about Xiaohu, I'm afraid she's in danger." The third prince sighed.

"It's useless to worry, Xiaohu ran out by herself, I don't know if she brought guards to protect her......" Qingdi's tone was also worried, she was silent for a long time, and said: "Xiaohu left today, all because of me, and when she comes back, I will tell her that I will no longer interfere in the government of Wu State, I will return all rights to your brothers and sisters, me and Yaocen, let's leave here too." ”

The third prince was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Qingdi, don't say that, you have been in power for a few months, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are very convinced of you, and they all know that Xiaohu is an empty shelf, not much use, and they will not accept me so quickly, if you let it go, won't Zhang Xiuhe have a chance?" ”

Of course, Qingdi knew how important he was to Wu Guo, and he also knew that if he said this proposal, the third prince would never agree. But she also cares about Xiaohu, she wants to protect Xiaohu all the time, I don't know why it suddenly became like this......

Qingdi hesitated for a long time and said, "But Xiaohu ......"

"It's okay, after Xiaohu comes back, I will tell her that she is a good child, and she will understand." The Three Princes said.

"Hmm......" Qingdi replied softly.

But I'm afraid Xiaohu won't be persuaded so easily, and she is also very curious about where Xiaohu has gone now...... It's best not to see Zhang Xiuhe, this person's ability to reverse right and wrong is intimidating, especially a simple girl like Xiaohu, who can't distinguish the truth of Zhang Xiuhe's words at all, and will only be used by him.

They searched all night but did not find Xiaohu, and the next day, Xiaohu's carriage arrived in Jianye early in the morning and entered the city with many people who had entered the city to catch the market.

This time was the busiest time to enter and exit the city, and the officials guarding the city opened the curtain of Xiaohu's carriage and looked at it, and saw that there was only one woman inside, so they let her in, and did not find that she was the princess of the country.

The carriage sent Xiaohu outside the palace and put her down, and the people who drove the carriage and some guards who protected Xiaohu returned to Shenjiang by themselves, and Xiaohu also returned to the palace.

The third prince stayed awake all night, not only worried about Xiaohu, but also worried that if he couldn't find her, when he went to court today, how would Qingdi tell the ministers. At this time, someone went to tell him and Qingdi that the princess had returned.

When the third prince and Qingdi heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Qingdi hurriedly ordered the palace maid to prepare, washed and dressed Xiaohu, and let her go to the court.

Xiaohu packed up and went to see the third prince and Qingdi, she saw the two of them, was silent for a long time, and then said to the two obediently: "Third brother, sister, I know it's wrong, I was too impulsive yesterday." ”

Xiaohu lowered his head, not daring to look at Qingdi's eyes, for fear that she would see that he was lying.

Qingdi was stunned for a moment, did Xiaohu listen to anyone's persuasion? Figured it out now?

The third prince was also surprised, but soon understood, stepped forward and hugged Xiaohu, patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, Qingdi and I don't blame you, just come back safely." By the way, where did you go yesterday? ”

"I sat by the Qinhuai River all night yesterday, and after thinking carefully about everything that has happened recently, I finally understand that my sister is always helping us, and I shouldn't question my sister." Xiaohu already had a crying voice in her voice, this aggrieved appearance was really distressing, where did she still have the heart to question her before.

Qingdi smiled helplessly, took Xiaohu's hand with both hands, and said, "Silly girl, you don't need to apologize, no one blames you." ”

Xiaohu rubbed his eyes and said to Qingdi: "Sister, let's make peace, I will never doubt you again in the future." ”

Qingdi laughed, and quickly nodded, "Hmm." ”

The third prince was really relieved when he saw the current appearance, and thought that Xiaohu said just now that she had sat on the edge of the Qinhuai River all night, and it would definitely be bad for her health to sit overnight on such a cold day, so he hurriedly said: "Otherwise, Xiaohu won't go to the court today, and hurry up to find the imperial doctor to see if it is frozen." ”

Xiaohu bumped in the carriage all night last night, and indeed he didn't sleep well, so he didn't have much energy, but now when he heard what the third prince said, he nodded and came down.

Then the doctor came over to check Xiaohu's pulse and made sure that Xiaohu was not harmed, but was a little tired, and he would get better after a good day's rest. Only then did the third prince relax his heart.

Xiaohu lay down in bed to rest, and soon fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already noon. She sat on the bed for a while, and suddenly remembered what Zhang Xiuhe told her last night, so she wanted to go to Qingdi to try to take that treasure and whether she could drive her away from Wu Guo.

She got dressed and got out of bed, walked to the imperial study for a while, and suddenly thought of one more thing, she learned from Zhang Xiuhe that the treasure matter was actually the most related to Chu Yaocen, why didn't she go directly to Chu Yaocen?

When Xiaohu thought of this, he immediately turned around and went to find Chu Yaocen.

Chu Yaocen was serving the herbs he had planted every day, and when Xiaohu saw him today, he still saw him sprinkle something black on the withered herbs.

Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Cousin, what are you doing?" ”

When Chu Yaocen heard her voice, he put the things in his hand over, got up and replied to her: "These herbs are easy to attract insects, although it is winter now, but the eggs are attached to their roots, I have to sprinkle some insecticidal medicine on it." ”

Xiaohu was not interested in this at all, just a casual ask. She asked instead, "Cousin, you have been in the Li Kingdom for so long before, have you heard about the treasure of the First Emperor's mausoleum?" ”

Chu Yaocen's eyes froze, a chill flashed, he was silent for a moment, suddenly laughed, and asked Xiaohu: "I heard that you left the palace yesterday, where did you go?" ”

Xiaohu hurriedly said: "I sat by the Qinhuai River all night." ”

Chu Yaocen smiled unabated, and said: "Qingdi and your third brother sent people to search for your whereabouts in the whole city, and they almost turned Jianye upside down, but they didn't find you, in fact, you went to Shenjiang yesterday, right?" ”

"I ...... Of course I didn't, what am I going to Shenjiang for? Isn't there Zhang Xiuhe there in Shenjiang? Zhang Xiuhe is my enemy, so I won't deliberately run to the enemy! Xiaohu explained in a panic.

However, these words were in Chu Yaocen's ears, and they were just trying to cover up. From Xiaohu's expression, you can know that she must have gone to see Zhang Xiuhe, and it is obvious that Zhang Xiuhe also told her about the treasure.

Chu Yaocen hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I know about the treasure, what's the matter, you are also interested?" ”
