If Qi Qingchu had told him the secret between them, maybe he would have been able to play some role in it, and maybe the Li Jicai sisters and brothers would not have died, wouldn't they?

In the final analysis, it was because Qi Qingchu didn't believe him.

Xi Zien felt that he had done a good job, at least he would share any news with him.

On this day, Qi Qingchu returned from outside, hastily prepared some food, and then went out.

Recently, Qi Qingchu has been busy visiting the people in Jinzhou City, listening to public opinions, and then writing various documents to submit.

On the surface, it seems that it is for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, but in fact, no one knows what he thinks.

"Hey! Ay! Wait a minute, I have something to tell you, you wait first. Xi Zien intercepted Qi Qingchu, who was rushing out in the courtyard, and said that he had something to say to him.

But Qi Qingchu brushed away the hand he was holding him, looking a little impatient, he still had a lot of things to do.

The circles under his eyes were blue, and the tiredness between his eyebrows showed that Qi Qingchu was really tired.

"Okay, I know you're busy, but you're going to let me finish talking."

"Say." Qi Qingchu has ignored Xi Zien recently, and he hasn't talked to him much, this time Xi Zien took the initiative to pull him to talk to him, and he couldn't let him shut up again, looking like he was very unkind, although he was already very unkind.

"The fourth prince led a group of people to the Kua chair in Liangzhou, and successfully exterminated the mountain bandits who were in trouble."

"Hmm."

"Huh?"

"Is that all? It's okay, I'm going to go first. "Qi Qingchu is not interested in what the fourth prince has done, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to know.

"Don't you want to say something? It's the fourth prince with a gloomy and uncertain personality, aren't you curious about the fact that he can solve the mountain bandits? Xi Zien felt that this matter would more or less attract Qi Qingchu's attention.

Because this fourth prince is usually in the court or in the Hanlin Academy, as long as they meet him, they all show a silent appearance, and they usually act very low-key and introverted, and they can't see any talent, and his personality is very strange, moody, and has never been in contact with related matters, how can he deal with the matter of mountain bandits?

Moreover, at that time, His Majesty had already issued a number of edicts summoning orders, and the four princes returned to the capital, but the four princes did not listen to His Majesty's words.

He didn't go back until things were taken care of.

"Not curious." After Qi Qingchu dropped three words, he raised his feet and prepared to leave.

"Yes, I listened to it casually at the beginning, but I heard that it was because of a strange woman brought over by the fourth prince, so I ......" Xi Zien didn't finish his words, he wanted to see Qi Qingchu's reaction, and then decide whether he wanted to continue.

Peculiar women?

Qi Qingchu suddenly remembered the events of that day.

I heard that the four princes took Li Jiye away that day, and later Li Jiye was kidnapped by others.

Among them, how much did the four princes mix?

Subconsciously, Qi Qingchu did not continue to walk outside, but stood in the courtyard fixedly, waiting for Xi Zien to continue.

There was no one else in the courtyard, and not a single leaf had fallen on the white steps.

The surroundings are quiet, the flowers in the flower beds are blooming brightly, the colors are numerous, the leaves are green, and the breeze blows layers of green waves.

But the two people present were not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of that time.

"I heard that it was a woman, who was injured all the way and was brought over, and the burns on her body were very ugly."

Burn?

When he heard this word, Qi Qingchu's heart suddenly lifted.

Why is it a burn? Why did the fourth prince carry a woman with burns.

Why was it that the fourth prince was able to leave Beijing with a burned woman shortly after that incident?

Is it really such a coincidence?

Could it be her?

Of course, Qi Qingchu had an impulse to go to the side of the fourth prince to see the burned woman.

Could it be that Li Jicai escaped from the fire? Could it be that the fourth prince rescued Li Jicai at the beginning, and then deliberately put a corpse in?

Could it be that Lee Ji Chae is not dead at all?!

Qi Qingchu only felt the blood in his body rushing to the top of his head, and the whole person became extremely excited, if this is really the case, then it will be good, then it will be good.

Xi Zien obviously felt the change in the atmosphere around Qi Qingchu, and felt that he seemed to be a little excited.

"Are you serious?" Qi Qingchu forcibly suppressed his mood, and then asked calmly.

"Of course it's true, but I don't know why, the fourth prince went back to the capital, but he left the woman in the Kuayi locality, and he hasn't gone back yet. I don't know why the fourth prince didn't bring her back. ”

Xi Zien recalled as he spoke, preventing himself from saying the wrong thing and passing on false news, the gossip he hated the most was groundless, it was fake, not to mention that it was said to Qi Qingchu, so it couldn't be adulterated.

Qi Qingchu let out a "hmm", took a deep breath and said, "I'll leave first if there's nothing else." ”

"Huh? Hey, okay. Xi Zien replied a little dazedly. No, what does he mean by that? Obviously he showed interest, why did he leave like this? Don't you ask him about the follow-up?

The expression on Xi Zien's face was like saying, do you want to know? Ask me, I'll tell you anything you want to know.

There is a kind of look.

But this expectation was ultimately disappointed, because Qi Qingchu didn't say a word, didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and then left directly, thanks to Xi Zien After getting the news, he came directly to Qi Qingchu.

Xi Zien didn't know that Qi Qingchu wasn't uninterested, and it wasn't that he didn't want to ask about the follow-up.

Since the burned woman is still praising the chair now, then as long as he rushes over, he will definitely be able to see him. But the premise of rushing over is to deal with all the things at hand, if you don't handle it well, you just leave a mess here, and it's not like it's a big deal.

However, time is urgent, and he may not have time to deal with the affairs of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family is really lucky, if it weren't for his rush to find the burned woman, he might have to go under the knife against the Jiang family in the past two days.

Qi Qingchu received a lot of warnings, but he didn't take it to heart, it was his duty to be loyal to the country, as long as His Majesty did not personally give an order to let him return to the capital, then he would continue to do so and fulfill his duties as a minister.

After learning the news from Xi Zien's mouth, Qi Qingchu felt as if his heart had immediately flown to the praise chair.

Even if it hasn't been confirmed at this moment, even if it's just Xi Zien's hearsay at this moment, as long as she thinks about it, she feels that the whole person seems to be enthusiastic.

He hadn't been very happy for a long, long time, and the last time he laughed, it seemed that he was with Li Jicai.

Although at that time, she often him off. Although at that time, she often behaved very unreasonably, even hateful.

Liangzhou is far away and desolate, and he is far away from her.

He wanted to get into the carriage and go to her immediately, a burned woman, so coincidentally, if the house was on fire at the beginning, Li Jicai happened to be in it, and happened to be injured, then she was also burned. It also happened that he was connected with the four princes, who were related.

I have to say that Qi Qingchu has been desperately hinting to himself not to give himself too much hope, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

But he still couldn't help but think, think about the past, and think about Li Jicai's face in the snow that day.

However, Qi Qingchu didn't expect that when he stood in front of Li Jicai one day and talked to her with a smile.

Li Jicai: What kind of tone should she use, what kind of face should she use to face her. A person who hates him, a person who misunderstands him, Li Jicai.

Just when the court of the Chu State was slightly disordered, the Yan Kingdom was much better.

The situation in Yan Kingdom is getting better day by day, and the court is becoming more and more stable day by day. Although the emperor of Yan Kingdom is dying of old age, it really looks like he doesn't have much time, but it is estimated that he can hold on for a few more years.

Why do you say that, because the only heir of the Yan Kingdom returned to China.

Li Jiye has completely disappeared, completely disappeared from this world, and only Yan Chengli, the third prince of Yan Kingdom, is alive.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of Yan Kingdom died one after another, and the old emperor of Yan State is now dying, and only Yan Chengli has no choice but to be pushed to the front of the stage.

When Su Qing and Su Bai escorted Yanchen back to Yan Kingdom, the old emperor of Yan Kingdom sent a private army to greet them.

Escort him all the way back to the capital, and then bring him into the palace without stopping, and return to the old emperor's side.

To tell the truth, Li Jiye obeyed the arrangement all the way, and he has been accustomed to this name and such an identity for several years with Li Jiye's identity.

Suddenly changed, and I really didn't get used to it.

After he returned to the palace, the old emperor met him with tears in his eyes, hugged him, and said all the thoughtful and heartwarming words, but he felt extremely harsh in Li Jiye's ears.

The prince, who was not favored or valued before, suddenly became the only heir, and his father turned out to be like this, worried that he would have no successor, and that his throne would fall into the hands of others, which was indeed a bit ridiculous.

Li Jie was faintly sarcastic in his heart, but his face still showed a very respectful look.

He knows that at this moment, he has no power, no power, nothing, and can only be at his mercy, even if he does it on the throne, if no one supports him and has no example of his own, he will still become a puppet in the hands of others.

As someone else's puppet and someone else's pawn, he doesn't even have the qualifications to protect his important people.

Li Jicai didn't know what was going on in the state of Chu, they said that she betrayed him, and he refused to believe it.

Su Qing and Su Bai, such people cannot be trusted, and they are not loyal to themselves, and they have no way of knowing what they have done in them.

So only when he returns to Chu in person, and then goes to find out whether Li Jicai betrayed him, it should not be said that he wants to take Li Jicai back, Li Jicai is impossible to betray him, and it is impossible for Li Jicai to betray anyone.

He was so adamant in his belief.

Li Jiye's return to Yan Kingdom was very secretive, and few people knew about it at all.

As soon as he returned to the capital, he was immediately assigned to teach as the crown prince, because he had no intention of cultivating Li Jiye before, so Li Jiye was very unfamiliar with these.

But both of his older brothers learned.

Learning from scratch, although it is a little late, but you can still keep up with it if you study hard and study hard.

The other teachings as an emperor have to be re-learned, so Li Jiye is equivalent to being locked up in the deep palace, and then going to touch these things.

After that, from time to time he would appear in front of the courtiers to stabilize the minds of the ministers.

Previously, because there was no heir, there had been turmoil in the court, but this matter had been most effectively resolved under the joint response of the old emperor and Luo Shu, and now that Li Jiye was back, they didn't have to worry about it.

Luo Shu is very important to the old emperor, because he helped the old emperor and survived the most difficult period of the Yan Kingdom.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Luo Shu that the court of Yan Kingdom will not fall apart and the people's hearts will be scattered.

But for Li Jiye, when he heard the name Luo and Shu for the first time, until he met this person, he didn't have a good impression of him, or he didn't like it, and he didn't have a good impression of anyone with the surname Luo.

Or Luo Shu felt Li Jiye's rejection of him, so he obediently tried not to appear in front of Li Jiye as little as possible.

is still focused on state affairs, and now the old emperor of Yan is in a hurry to cultivate Li Jiye, and many of the affairs in the court are handled by Luoshu.

If he is undoubtedly the most powerful courtier in the court of Yan State, no one can afford to provoke him, comparable to Qi Qingchu of Chu State. But his other identity is the patriarch of the Luo family, and no one knows this.

For him, it may not be so important to be loyal to the country, he just stabilizes the situation of the Yan Kingdom and maintains a delicate balance between the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Yan.

Because once the balance is broken, the other two countries will definitely rise to fight, then the world will be in chaos, and the world will be in chaos, which is also a great loss for the Luo family, and there is no need to let the world be in chaos.

So in fact, the old emperor of Yan State didn't need to be too grateful to him, after all, he was also thinking about himself and his family.

After all, if people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

Luo Shu just looked at the third prince who had just come back, he was an unruly master, and it might be a little difficult to deal with in the future, although he didn't want to control him too obviously in his own hands, but he didn't want him to be too unscrupulous, but he wanted to take him into an army.

After all, Vena himself doesn't like disobedient people.
