Zhuang Rou walked for a long time, away from the palace to the street, before renting a carriage to send herself home.

Aunt Liu didn't know that Zhuang Rou had been arrested, but she knew that she had entered the palace, and now she saw that she had been gone for several days before coming back, so she quickly pulled it and looked at it seriously, "Miss, why did you stay in this palace for so long!" Hey? The food in the palace is also too good, Miss, you are fat. ”

"There is a point, I can't run around when I eat, sleep, and sleep all day long, so I am naturally fatter." Zhuang Rou pinched her belly, but she had a little more meat, and she wasn't fat yet.

Aunt Liu nodded, indeed I heard that there are a lot of rules in the palace, and in the small courtyard, you have to agree with the people in the palace to go anywhere.

At this time, Zhuang Rou remembered something, so she ordered: "By the way, Aunt Liu, I will go back to Hongzhou in a few days, help me pack some winter clothes and take them away." I don't know if I can come back for the New Year this year, so bring a little more. ”

Aunt Liu was a little surprised, and said reluctantly: "Miss, it's only been a few months since I came back, and the king of the county can't wait for you to recover from your injuries and go back after the New Year?" ”

"There are a lot of displaced people in Hongzhou, and the county king is afraid of chaos, and now there is a shortage of manpower, so he wants me to go back with him. When the affairs of the displaced people are done, I will take the time to come back when I have time, anyway, I am not a big official, unlike them who cannot leave without the will of the court. Zhuang Rou said, she knew that this was just talking, how could the homeless people leave in winter, so she pointed to the besieged city and begged for food.

This time, I will definitely not be able to come back when the year is over.

Because Aunt Liu was in Hongzhou, Aunt Liu also inquired about the news when she visited the door on weekdays, and knew that there were many displaced people there because of the drought.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the weather is slowly getting colder, and those homeless people are afraid that they will lack food and clothing, and it will be difficult to survive the cold winter.

She nodded and said, "Miss, then I'll sew a layer of cotton cloth on the outside of the winter coat at home, there are many homeless people over there, and I won't be targeted if I dress plainly." You can't bring jewelry, it's better to add a few patches to your clothes, and then bring a charcoal cube with you, and you won't notice you if you smear your face and shoot flowers. ”

Zhuang Rou patted her speechlessly, "Aunt Liu, I'm an official." How could it be that you asked me to dress like a homeless person, usually I wear an official uniform. Even if I didn't wear an official uniform, the adults gave me clothes, which were so conspicuous to wear that ordinary people didn't dare to get close.

It was full of weapons, not to mention ordinary people, even if it was someone else who should be arrested, they wouldn't want to get close.

Aunt Liu forgot that she was still an official, and patted her thigh and said: "I'm really confused, when the young lady goes out in Hongzhou, she must bring a few subordinates with her, and she can't be bullied if she shows off her might!" ”

"I know, no one in Hongzhou dares to beat my idea." Zhuang Rou let her relax, she really didn't want to say it, just her reputation in Hongzhou, when she went out, it was like a plague god, and half of the people on the street would not have it.

Zhuang Xuewen came back early today, and came back with some braised vegetables, and gave the paper package to Aunt Liu to let her add vegetables, and she wanted to have a good meal with Zhuang Rou tonight.

Knowing that he had made trouble in the palace during the day, he must have caused trouble to his brother, Zhuang Rou faced the table full of dishes, and bowed her head vigorously to eat, unwilling to look up at him.

"Would you like a drink?" Zhuang Xuewen poured himself a glass of wine and asked casually.

Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he react, he asked himself. In the past, Zhuang Xuewen didn't let her get drunk, why did she suddenly ask her if she drank today?

But finally had a chance to have a drink with her brother, she naturally wouldn't give up, and immediately nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhuang Xuewen raised his eyes and smiled slightly, took another cup, and asked casually while pouring wine: "You promised so neatly, you often go to drink in Hongzhou?" ”

"No, the house is full of old men, where will you take me when you drink." Zhuang Rou took the wine glass with both hands and took a sip gently, it was not as strong as he imagined, and the entrance was still a little sweet.

Just when she was a little puzzled and felt that this wine was still delicious, Zhuang Xuewen on the opposite side said: "This is osmanthus brewing, which was originally drunk during the women's flower appreciation poetry meeting, and I specially picked it for you." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him inexplicably with a wine glass, feeling that her brother was a little strange today, she frowned, put down the wine glass and asked, "Brother, is the emperor embarrassed you?" I'm powerful now, why don't I go into the palace and kill him to relieve my brother's worries? ”

"Fight and kill all day, what do you want." Zhuang Xuewen was amused by her, and gently tapped her hand with chopsticks, "You met an assassin in Fengxi Palace today, and you were able to escape with your whole body, causing chaos in the harem." They are no longer monolithic, and today I am here to thank Xiaorou. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhuang Rou pouted dissatisfiedly, "What is my brother talking about, the affairs in the palace were not arranged by me, and suddenly something like this happened." Even if this is an unintentional meritorious service, the emperor should thank me directly, and if this is good for my brother, then I will solve them next time. ”

Zhuang Xuewen drank all the wine in the cup and said with a slight smile: "Xiaorou, if one day, you find out that your brother has taken advantage of you, will you forgive your brother?" ”

"Brother, you got drunk before you drank much." Zhuang Rou has a small mouth

Drinking the wine in his cup, he looked up at him and said, "I don't like to hear this kind of talk, I know what my brother does to me." ”

She looked down at the wine glass and muttered, "When I saw my brother in Qiuhuangpo, Liushou County, I knew that you were the relative I would protect for the rest of my life." I will support my brother in whatever he wants, you don't have to worry about my thoughts, I know that my brother will not harm me. ”

Zhuang Xuewen's eyes narrowed with a smile, "I thought that Xiaorou had been fascinated by the King of Yinde County, and my brother was only afraid that he was a lonely old man." ”

"Brother, what are you thinking. Although I am in Hongzhou, the most important person in my heart is my brother, and I am not fascinated by him. It turned out that she was worried about this, but Zhuang Rou was finally relieved and hurriedly preached.

But if she wants to go to Hongzhou, she still has to talk to Zhuang Xuewen, "But there are too many displaced people in Hongzhou now, brother, I have to go back first." At the end of the year, I will see that if the situation is good, I will take the time to come back for the New Year. ”

Zhuang Xuewen put a chicken leg in her bowl, and said very casually: "King Yinde is so favored, it is not a problem to dial silver." It's okay for you to follow him back, this time the Qiwang will definitely not stop, you have to be safer over there. ”

"Brother, I'm causing you trouble." Zhuang Rou said with some guilt, "But when he scolded Chu Xia like that, didn't he just slap me in the face, how to say that he is also my person." Anyone else but me humiliated him for trouble. Zhuang Rou frowned and said dissatisfied.

"Of course, if anyone dares to do this to my brother, even if it is the emperor, I will knock off his head."

Zhuang Xuewen glanced at her, "Xiaorou, you deliberately used your hand in the palace to make a move, right?" ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Rou was stunned with some surprise.

Smiling, Zhuang Xuewen continued, "I'm your brother, you have always been a measured person, and my family's Xiao Rouke is very smart. Do you know that your brother is doing things for the emperor, and the queen mother has always controlled the harem, and most of the emperor's every move is under their control. ”

"So you seem to have messed up and made such a fuss in the palace, giving the emperor a chance to eradicate most of the eyeliner in the palace. Now that the queen has even handed over the phoenix seal to Concubine Rong, you have made a great contribution, and what are you saying to make trouble for your brother. ”

Zhuang Xuewen stood up, walked behind Zhuang Rou, touched her head and said, "It's useless brother, and I want you to risk your life to do this kind of thing." And I can only let you leave the capital, but I can't kill the Qi King and help you get rid of the trouble. ”

"If the Qi King dies now, you will definitely be involved, he is still useful, and he can't die for the time being. And my only relative is you, my brother's business is done by my brother, you are not worth working for the emperor. After saying that, he walked back, sat down and made a bowl of soup and put it in front of Zhuang Rou.

Zhuang Rou looked at him and said with a resolute gaze: "Brother, I can give you whatever you want." I won't make my own decisions in the future, but when you can use me, don't have any scruples. ”

What can compare to a good sister, Zhuang Xuewen nodded and responded. The sentence I just want you to be safe was swallowed back by him, and the two drank until late at night, and Aunt Liu had a stomach-warming supper, and the two of them gave up.

In the next few days, after several quarrels between the court and the court, the matter was settled because it was the decree of the Empress Dowager, who was much better than the emperor.

Chu Xia got the disaster relief money, and the time was too tight that he couldn't even finish the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, so he had to go back to Hongzhou as soon as possible.

Although he usually looks like a gentleman and could have delayed it for a few more days, the emperor had already guessed this possibility and directly issued an order to him to leave for Hongzhou immediately. He had to tell Zhuang Rou to pack up his things and leave together.

Zhuang Rou had already packed her things and was ready to set off at any time, but she temporarily received the will from the palace.

The assassination in the palace has been investigated, and the matter has nothing to do with her, the captain of the horse, but she was very heroic at the time, and she deserves to go to a better place to serve the people.

At the beginning of spring, it was the time for the selection of the Falcon Gate, and the Empress Dowager specially gave her a place where she could skip the examination school for the number of cases solved and directly participate in the Falcon Gate competition.

As long as you can enter the top 100, you can enter the Divine Falcon Gate and become what people call the Divine Catcher.

Zhuang Rou was very surprised when she received this will, if she participated in the competition, she would have to go to the Falcon Gate to do the competition now.

Because it was ordered by the palace, she had to go if she didn't want to, and she couldn't follow Chu Xia to Hongzhou for the time being.

Chu Xia also learned about this when Zhuang Rou received Yi's order.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't want her to go to Hongzhou with me......" He teased the bird on the shelf, and said indifferently, "The Falcon Gate is only one month longer than the pre-school examination school, and when the time comes, let her go to Hongzhou, and come back when the spring examination is in the spring." ”

After Chu Xia finished feeding the bird food, he wiped his hands and said to Xiao Ran: "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I originally wanted to enjoy the moon with her on the boat, so let's change places." You go and arrange it, this king will only leave after rewarding the moon. ”

"Yes." Xiao Ran answered, and retreated silently.
