Chapter 642: Puzzles
Lao Pei was puzzled, he had been by Chu Xu's side for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen Chu Xu so interested in a maid.
"Lao Pei, remember not to speculate on the master's mind."
A hint of coldness and warning flashed in his eyes, Lao Pei shut up and lowered his head, and replied softly: "Yes." ”
He believed in his own eyes on people, that maid would never just be a maid, that kind of look really made him excited and surging.
"Sixth Prince, it's really you."
A pleasant voice sounded in his ears, making Chu Xu come back to his senses and skim the person beside him.
"Sister Yi, why are you here?"
Seeing that it was Chen Yi, Chu Xu was a little surprised with a smile on his face.
"I came with my mother, I didn't expect to meet my mother on the way, the two hit it off and went shopping, I was idle and bored and sneaked away, hehe."
With that, Chen Yi stuck out his tongue at Chu Xu and smiled evilly.
When Chu Xu saw Chen Yi, he even stretched his brows, and the haze in his heart dissipated with Chen Yi's appearance.
Seeing Chu Xu's appearance, Lao Pei felt a little sorry in his heart.
His master likes Chen Yi but doesn't dare to speak, if he opens his mouth, Emperor Chu will definitely marry Chen Yi for him, but he...
"Whoa."
Chen Yi stretched out her hand, and there were two pieces of sugar wrapped in white oil paper lying on her hands.
Chu Xu looked down for a long time before taking it from Chen Yi's hand and holding it tightly in his palm.
"Sister Yi's habits haven't changed over the years, and I'm not a child, why do you give me candy as soon as we meet?"
Chu Xu shook his head, but there was joy in his eyes.
Only he has something that no one else has, how can he be unhappy?
"You can also choose not to, but if you take over, doesn't that mean you're a child? Besides, you are younger than me. ”
Chen Yi pouted, and smiled brightly when she talked about the back.
She really spoiled Chu Xu as her own brother, and they have been childhood sweethearts for so many years.
"I'm just two or three days later than Sister Yi."
Chu Xu was dissatisfied, but he still honestly opened the candy paper and put the sugar in his mouth.
Although the number of times they have met over the years has been small, Chen Yi seems to have candy on her body every day, as long as she sees him, she will definitely stuff a few to him, and her habits have not changed over the years.
Sugar is sweet, heart is sweeter.
"Two or three days late is too late, no matter what, I'm older than you anyway!"
Chen Yi snorted and swore an oath.
"Why are you drinking stuffy tea in this person? I'm afraid of recognizing the wrong person! ”
Chen Yi looked Chu Xu up and down, no matter what good time he saw him, he was alone, which inevitably made Chen Yi feel more sorry for him in her heart.
"Fang is one person, and now it's two people, can Sister Yi accompany me around?"
Chu Xu raised his head, his eyes reflected Chen Yi's appearance, and those dark eyes that seemed to hide stars were also looking at her.
The eyebrows are curved, like a crescent moon.
"Of course you can, I'm bored anyway, but the sixth prince, you have to do Sister Yi a favor."
When Chen Yi heard this, she suddenly brightened up, and patted Chu Xu's shoulder with her hand.
Lao Pei reflexively wanted to stand up but held back.
"I know what Sister Yi wants to say, if you meet Mrs. Chen and ask you to settle accounts, I will help you."
Before Chen Yi could speak, Chu Xu knew what she was thinking.
Her look and her eyes can't deceive people.
If it was really just the two of them meeting and shopping together, how could Chen Yi's fun-loving personality slip away first?
"The one who understands me best is still the sixth prince, whether Sister Yi can escape or not depends on the six princes."
Chen Yi cried with a sad face, and it was okay to be coquettish with her father's words, but not to her mother, she would be scolded as soon as she opened her mouth, and now only Chu Xu can save her.
If her mother finds out that she escaped from the battle and met the son of the Li family, she will definitely be furious.
"Naturally, you are my sister Yi, who will you help if you don't help you? But what did Mrs. Chen force Sister Yi to do this time? ”
Chu Xu saw through Chen Yi at a glance, and if she could pull down her face to beg for help, it must have been a big thing that made Mrs. Chen angry.
"Yesterday, the matchmaker went to the Chen Mansion and told the Li family that the matchmaker was here, and let me come out today, because I wanted to meet the Li family."
Chen Yi counted, what she didn't like the most was her mother's approach, and what she hated the most in her life was being forced.
"The Li family? The Queen's maiden home? ”
Chu Xu frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, the Queen's nephew."
Chen Yi nodded violently, she knew everything she was thinking.
"I heard that Li You looks handsome and his martial arts are not bad, and he also signed up for this martial arts competition, if he really wins the martial arts champion, his identity can rise sharply, and there will be many girls who come to the door to ask for matchmaking."
Chu Xu smiled indifferently and quipped.
Chen Yi was angry, and snorted lightly, which was a little coquettish.
"The Sixth Prince knows that I don't care about this."
"Haha, I'm just joking, Sister Yi don't be angry."
"Lao Pei, go back first, I'll go out with Sister Yi."
Chu Xu pushed the wheelchair, Lao Pei couldn't rest assured, it could be seen that Chu Xu's happy appearance made him feel a lot more relieved.
"Yes."
"I'll come."
Chen Yi pushed the wheelchair, and Lao Pei waited on the side to move the wheelchair downstairs.
Looking at his age, his hair is a little gray, he should feel that he is powerless, he is a weak old man, he didn't think that his strength is so great, but it makes Chen Yi feel novel.
On Kongming Mountain, Chu Yongshuo's brigade had already climbed into the air by then, and the scorching sun was shining.
The leaves on the branches should not be shaded by the sun.
I didn't expect that the autumn day was still so hot, which was unexpected.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the cooler it gets, and the better everyone becomes.
Chu Yongshuo's body is expensive, and Kong Mingshan is so tall that he can't let her go alone or let her walk up step by step.
"Princess, there's a hillside ahead."
Xiu'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she almost lost the strength to speak.
Who knew that Kong Ming Mountain was so high, it would take several hours to get here from the palace, and after coming, I couldn't see the Qingdao people immediately and had to climb the hillside, and this day's time was wasted on this road.
"Stop."
Chu Yongshuo lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and shouted with a frown.
When everyone heard this, they got off the sedan chair.
Chu Yongshuo lifted the curtain and bent over and walked out.
"Princess, what are you doing here?"
"Only when you walk up with your feet can you be sincere, you are waiting for this princess here."
Chu Yongshuo looked up at the stone tablet next to him, on which were written the three big characters of Kong Mingshan, and these three words were written by the first emperor himself, and there were also the names and seals of the first emperor.
This place is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the shade of the trees is really a good place.
"But princess, you are a daughter, if..."
Xiu'er hurriedly said, for fear that something would happen to Chu Yongshuo.
What's more, Chu Yongshuo didn't rest well last night, and his spirit is definitely not good today.
"What can happen on this path? Just wait here. ”
Chu Yongshuo rolled up his sleeves, and even his skirt was rolled up and tied to his feet, like a cabbage.
Seeing Chu Yongshuo's rude appearance, everyone subconsciously closed their eyes and didn't dare to look.
Chu Yongshuo dared to be so bold, they didn't dare to look at it.
Xiu'er was not surprised when she saw it, but she still felt a little embarrassed.
These people were no better than the guards who followed them before, and they didn't dare to look at Chu Yongshuo for the first time.
"That Xiu'er went up with the princess."
Xiu'er carried her skirt and followed Chu Yongshuo's side.
On Kong Ming Mountain, the little guy hurriedly greeted Chu Yongshuo when he saw him coming up, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
"The little one has seen the princess, the princess, and the Qingdao people have been waiting for the princess for a long time."
"Oh? Do the Qingdao people know that the princess is coming? ”
Chu Yongshuo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Yes, the Qingdao people have been waiting for the princess here in the morning."
The little guy lowered his head and smiled, and hurriedly opened the door of the stone cave for Chu Yongshuo.
Xiu'er wanted to follow but was stopped by the little girl, seeing Xiu'er's angry face, the little girl hurriedly lowered her head: "Girl, the Qingdao people like to be pure, and I hope the girl is also waiting outside." ”
Seeing Chu Yongshuo's expression, Xiu'er snorted and didn't say anything else.
Inside the cave, cool.
The candle flame burned on the edge of the stone wall, guiding Chu Yongshuo to the cave.
On the gossip stone plate, an old man held the dust in his hand to close the meditation, and slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of footsteps.
"Shuo'er, you're here."
A deep voice rang out, echoing through the cave.
"The master is really powerful, Shuo'er can guess it uninvited."
Chu Yongshuo immediately changed his face, and walked towards the Qingdao man and sat on the stone plate.
"This stone plate is still the same as before, there is nothing to change in this cave, winter is coming, and the master will not order someone to add it, what if it freezes."
Chu Yongshuo swept his eyes, this stone cave was the same as when she came when she was a child, she hadn't even moved her place, and she didn't think it would be the same for so many years.
"Your Majesty's mercy has asked your subordinates to prepare beds and quilts every year, but it's just a little late today."
"Shuo'er, on your forehead..."
The scavenger lowered his crossed legs and stared at Chu Yongshuo's forehead.
"What's wrong with my forehead?"
Chu Yongshuo raised his eyebrows, reached out and touched his forehead, but didn't find anything wrong.
The scavenger shook his head.
"Nothing."
"How do you feel about wandering around all these years?"
The scavenger looked away and poured a glass of water for Chu Yongshuo.
This place only has clear water on the mountain, and tea is a luxury for him, but fortunately, Chu Yongshuo doesn't care about these at all.
"Hehe, I heard the master's words and went outside for a while, only to realize that the outside is so big, and I have seen a lot in the past few years."
Chu Yongshuo said happily, if it wasn't for the scavengers who suggested that she go out for a walk, she might not have known that the outside was so interesting, thanks to the scavengers.
"I heard that His Majesty is going to choose a colt for you this time, is there anyone who can choose it?"
"The master is only for the Chu State, why did he suddenly care about these things? Master, something is wrong with you today? ”
Chu Yongshuo seemed to see through the thoughts of the Qingdao man, and approached the Qingdao man, not afraid of disrespecting him at all.
She has been with the scavenger for a few months, and she knows his character, otherwise how could the scavenger keep her by her side for so long?
"Master, it's been too long since I've seen you."
"It's okay for the master to deceive outsiders, but you can't deceive Shuo'er, but what does the master see?"
His dark eyes stared at the scavengers, and he knew in his heart what the scavengers saw.
It's a pity that she can't see, she can't see her life.
"Poof, I forgot that the master can't say it, if he says it, it will be against the mandate of heaven."
The Qingdao man was silent, and Chu Yongshuo sneered, covering his mouth with his hand.
"Master, Shuo'er came today to ask Master what is going on with the Double Emperor and Double Star? Chu has never encountered this situation, Shuo'er has checked the history, and only remembers that this situation also occurred in Chu a hundred years ago. ”
This problem has been bothering Chu Yongshuo for a long time, but she can't solve it by herself.
But she had a hunch that something big was about to happen.
Don't look at the calm now, if you set off the entire Chu State, it will be destroyed.
"Who is the emperor and who is the phoenix?"
Chu Yongshuo asked seriously with his eyes.
This is very important to her, since she chooses to stand on Chu Yan's side, she will help Chu Yan eradicate these people.
"Shuo'er, this is not something you should participate in, as for who is the Emperor Star and who is the Phoenix Star, I don't know."
The scavenger stroked his beard and shook his head.
He had divined several times, but he did not know.
"Even the master can't know?"
Chu Yongshuo squinted, a little unconvinced, it can be seen that the Qing Daoist's expression does not look like a lie.
