General Shui sighed and said, "What kind of revenge are we talking about when we are defeated?" Before, I finally came up with the idea of letting Zhou Yi poison and assassinate Pingxianghou, and let Pingxianghou die in the Xiangfu, so as to bring trouble to the Xiangfu. But now that so much time has passed, Xiangfu has not moved, but it has exposed Zhou Yi. ”

"Isn't there anything you can do?" Qingdi was silent for a moment and asked, "By the way, uncle, is there a man with a silver mask who has helped you?" ”

General Shui nodded, and said with a confused expression: "When we just planned to return to the Imperial City, we even had the mind to beg along the streets. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in the imperial city, I got his help. At first we thought he had some purpose, but after so long, he never interfered with our actions in any way, and only sent silver taels at regular intervals. ”

Qingdi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't help your actions either?" ”

"Not at all, he never asks us what we do." General Shui said, twisted his brows and said, "But I always feel that he knows everything about our behavior. ”

Qingdi lowered his eyes and pondered, if this silver-faced man was Lu Yin, he might indeed know everything about their behavior, and Lu Yin had this kind of ability. He had told himself before that he had a friendship with General Shui, and if he had a relationship, why did he hide his identity?

"What about you, kid? You said you wanted to avenge your mother, do you have any plans? The water general broke her musings and asked her.

Qingdi came back to his senses, nodded and said, "The idea I just thought of last night was to start with those women in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and force this Prime Minister Mansion into a desperate situation step by step. ”

"Oh? What's the idea? ”

Qingdi lowered his voice and told General Shui all his thoughts.

After hearing this, General Shui didn't react much, but only nodded and said: "Child, I don't understand the intrigue between women, but listening to your analysis, I think it makes a lot of sense, you do it, let Zhou Yi protect you." ”

Qingdi thanked General Shui, and asked him again, "Uncle, do you have any plans for the next step?" ”

The water general sighed and looked through the window at the sky to the north, which was the direction of the palace. He said: "I am waiting for the opportunity, hoping that one day I can meet Your Majesty, tell him my grievances in person, hope that he can give me justice, if I can restore my clean reputation, I will die without regrets in this life." ”

"Uncle......" Qingdi opened her mouth, wanting to tell him very much, as far as she, a little girl who had not seen much of the world, knew that this matter must be through the emperor's hand, and telling the emperor would only bring death to herself. But after thinking about it, Qingdi still kept his mouth shut. The deep-rooted idea of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country in his heart is definitely not something that can be changed easily, so why should she hit him? He wouldn't have met the emperor anyway.

"What's wrong?" General Water looked at her and asked.

"It's nothing," Qingdi shook his head: "I can't come out for too long, the Yin clan sent someone to monitor me, I have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly." In the future, if I have time, I will bring Mi'er over again and meet my uncle together. ”

"Mi'er?" General Shui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is Yu'er?" ”

"Mi'er is your nephew, my own brother. He also lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion now, but I'll take him out sooner or later. Qingdi pursed her lips, and then said: "Yu'er is not a son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has suffered more than me since he was a child, so in the days to come, I will definitely not let him suffer any more." ”

General Shui was surprised: "Yanran still has a son? I've never heard of it. ”

"Yes, Yu'er's identity is very complicated, so the Prime Minister has not disclosed his existence, but he is indeed the same as me, keeping the blood of my mother and that beast." Qingdi didn't want to continue to think about the suffering of Yu'er, so she smiled hard to tell herself not to be sad, and continued: "This matter is a long story, so it's okay not to mention it. ”

"Yes, don't mention it, it's not important, the important thing is that Yanran has a son." General Shui seemed to be very happy, and smiled lightly: "There is a male baby, you have a support in this world, and my Shui family can be regarded as having a heritage!" ”

Qingdi nodded, yes, Yu'er is her last support.

"It's getting late today, go back quickly, don't be discovered by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion." General Water reminded.

Qingdi nodded, explained that General Shui should take care, and went out with Zhou Yi.

When he arrived outside the courtyard, he looked up and saw Wan Kill standing in front of the alley and looking around, he suddenly saw Qingdi, and hurriedly ran over, looked at Qingdi carefully, and after making sure that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Young lady, this place is really hard to find, fortunately you didn't have an accident, otherwise the young master would never let me go." ”

Qingdi knew that he was still doubting Zhou Yi's identity, and he couldn't rest assured. She smiled at the killing and said, "It's okay, Zhou Yi is his own person, and he won't harm me." ”

After finishing the killing, he glanced at Zhou Yi and snorted noncommittally.

"Where's Mi'er? You sent Mi'er back to the Prime Minister's Mansion so quickly, and you ran back? Qingdi wondered.

"The little boy was sent to the second young master by his subordinates, and asked the second young master to take care of it first. The subordinates really couldn't worry about the personal safety of the young lady, so they came to look for the young lady. After finishing the killing, he gave way to the side, asked Qingdi to walk in front, and said, "Young lady, now please go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with your subordinates to pick up the little son." ”

Qingdi nodded, and the Chu family was in the middle of Jintan Academy and Xiangfu, and just happened to go over to pick up Mi'er.

After the three of them entered the Chu family, they took Qingdi and hurried to find Yu'er after the killing. When they arrived at Chu Yaocen's courtyard, they didn't see Chu Yaocen.

After finishing the killing, he quickly found someone to ask, and when he asked, he said that he had taken Yu'er to Lu Lixuan, Lu Lixuan was the place used by the Chu family to make wine, and he also brought his own restaurant, which was specially designed to receive the princes and ministers, so that they could make the Chu family's business easier.

They went to Lu Lixuan again, and as soon as they walked to the front of the restaurant under Lu Lixuan, they heard the sound of laughter inside. Qingdi smiled slightly, it seems that the two get along quite well.

Qingdi walked in directly, and saw Yu'er holding a leg of mutton in one hand, sitting next to Chu Yaocen and slapping the table and laughing, and the room was filled with a smell of wine. The smile on Qingdi's face suddenly froze.

Chu Yaocen saw Qingdi coming, and happily stood up and ran over to hug her and said, "Little fox, you're here, I knew you would come!" ”

Yu'er also jumped down from the stool, ran over and hugged Qingdi's leg, and called "sister" sweetly.

Qingdi pulled the two away and asked him angrily, "Did you drink for Mi'er?" ”

Chu Yaocen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, my brother didn't drink." ”

Qingdi raised his eyebrows, inhaled hard, and it was indeed full of wine, and asked him again, "So you are drinking?" ”

"I didn't drink either, so I was happy talking to my brother, but if I did, I would want to sleep, and I wouldn't be able to talk to my brother."

"Then how do I smell alcohol?"

After listening to her question, he interjected in the back: "Young lady, this was originally the place where the Chu family made wine, and the smell of wine lees may be too strong outside, and you didn't smell the wine, but after you came in, the back of this room was full of brewed wine, so you could smell it." ”

Qingdi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard him explain. As soon as she entered the door, she didn't give Mi'er and Chu Yaocen a good look, which was really undeserved.

She had no choice but to touch her nose and divert the topic: "Speaking of winemaking, is the Chu family's wine easy to sell?" ”

Chu Yaocen didn't understand the business matter, so he hurriedly called to finish the kill and answered.

Wan Kill said: "The Chu family has too much business, and there are no things that are difficult to sell, but relatively speaking, the sales of wine are not as good as other things. Because the Chu family's wine is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it. ”

"What about selling at a reduced price?" Qingdi didn't know much about business, so he asked rhetorically.

"If you reduce the price, you will suffer." Wan Kill said: "The wine of the Chu family is made from the best sorghum and koji in the entire Li country. ”

Qingdi smiled lightly and said, "Do you only use sorghum?" The taste is too simple, in fact, flower and fruit wine, better than sorghum wine, and koji does not need to use the best, different koji, brewing tastes different, not the best koji, you can make the best wine. ”

After hearing this, Chu Yaocen looked at Qingdi with admiration on his face, and said, "Wow, little fox, you are so powerful, you can actually make wine." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu'er rushed to say: "Sister is amazing, when I used to live in the mountains with my sister, my sister would go to the mountains in the spring to pick flowers and make wine, and you can drink it in the autumn." In autumn, I go up to the mountains to pick fruits and make wine, and I can drink them in spring, but it is delicious, I like it the most! ”

Qingdi couldn't help but gently pinch Yu'er's nose, and said with a smile: "Little drunkard." ”

When Chu Yaocen heard this, he pouted and said, "Little fox, do you still have any wine?" I want to drink it too. ”

Qingdi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but I don't want to go back and get it." ”

"Why?" Chu Yaocen immediately showed a sad expression: "Is it that the little fox doesn't want me to drink?" ”

"No, I just don't want to go back to that place." Qingdi couldn't help but throb when she thought of all the white eyes and abuse she had received in that place, as well as the blood on the ground when her mother died. She never wants to go back to that place for the rest of her life.

"Well, the place where the little fox doesn't want to go must not be a good place." Chu Yaocen didn't force him anymore, and said with a smile: "When the little fox marries me, I will ask my father to give the whole wine cellar to the little fox, and you will brew something delicious for me to drink." ”

She hadn't thought about whether she wanted to marry in the end, and her current promise was just to talk casually, and Qingdi was also happy to make Chu Yaocen happy, so she nodded and said, "A word is a deal." ”

Chu Yaocen was very happy, and nodded several times.

"Okay, it's getting late, Mi'er, you should go back with me." Qingdi leaned down and wiped her face for Wei'er, and couldn't help frowning slightly, can the Yin family smell such a big sheep's smell?

"Young lady, shall we go?" Finish urged him.

Qingdi thought for a moment and said, "Let's solve the taste of Yu'er first." ”

"The slave knew that this would be the case, so ah, when the young master was about to eat roast whole sheep just now, the slave and maid had already gone to buy clothes for the little master." As soon as Qingdi's words were finished, a soft female voice came in.
