Chapter 36

Chu Xia came to the noon gate, and at this time there were already many ministers waiting for the court. He took a look, and suddenly found that King Xian was also there, and he was looking at it with a straight face, but he hadn't seen the emperor yet.

And King Xian had already seen him at this time, so he strode over.

"It's really hard for everyone to come to the court so early, this king just drank all night and was about to go home to sleep, so I won't bother you to say goodbye, next time I have time to make an appointment for a drink." Chu Xia looked prodigal, smiled at the officials and turned to leave.

When King Xian saw it, he immediately shouted behind him: "Chu Xia! ”

Chu Xia glanced back at him, and immediately the eagle caught the chicken and ran, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle and grandfather, I will go first, don't chase after you, don't tell my mother about today!" He jumped into the carriage with great speed, and the guards got up and ran away.

"Little bunny!" King Xian failed to catch up with him, and was so angry that he cursed.

Last night, he came to see the emperor, obviously it was not too late, and the emperor hadn't slept yet, so he should be able to see him. I didn't expect to wait for someone to go in to report, and it took an hour until I replied, but it turned out that the emperor was not available.

King Xian was angry, and after waiting for so long, he asked the father-in-law to go in and spread the message, saying that he really had something urgent. But he didn't want to wait longer than last time this time, so the little eunuch even sent him a Mazha out and asked him to sit and wait slowly.

waited for the father-in-law next to the emperor to come out and reply, only to say that the emperor was spreading branches and leaves and adding children to the royal family, so they didn't dare to disturb.

For the sake of the emperor's accession to the throne for two years, there has not been a prince born and the ministers have always urged, and the eunuchs dare not bother, who knows if they will be pregnant with the prince this time?

It is useless for King Xian to be in a hurry to protect his son, but the father-in-law means that the emperor may get up in the middle of the night and go back to deal with affairs, after all, the state affairs are heavy now, where can he sleep enough for one night.

But I didn't expect it to come out this time, from the third watch to the fourth watch, and it was almost noon. He regretted it very much, he knew that he would sleep at home, and sat in the corner all night.

And Chu Xia took the carriage around a few times, came to the door of the palace to transport goods and eunuchs in and out, got out of the carriage and looked at it, showed the waist card to the guard, asked Xiao Ran to take off the weapon, and followed a guard to go inside.

He came directly to the Qianyuan, where the emperor usually handles affairs, and as soon as he arrived, a eunuch came over, "His Royal Highness the King of the County." ”

Chu Xia asked, "Is the emperor free now?" I have something important to report. ”

"Your Majesty has not slept all night, please ask Your Highness to persuade a few more words, the dragon body is important." The eunuch was eighteen or nineteen years old, and said respectfully.

"Take me to see it." Chu Xia nodded, and walked inside, and the eunuch also hurriedly walked to the front, leading him to the Qianyuan and pushing open the palace door.

After he walked in, the eunuch closed the door and carefully guarded the door.

Early in the morning, Zhuang Rou took advantage of the opening of the city gate to enter the south city gate, and wanted to quietly go to the family medical center to bandage the wounds on her hands. I was so angry that I left ahead of schedule last night, and my hand was just bandaged, so I still have to deal with it well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the south gate, she saw Zhuang Xuewen blocking her horse, looking at her with a serious face. Lin Fei saw it, quickly said hello and left, this look was obviously the posture of the elders to learn a lesson, and it was not cost-effective to be angry here.

"Brother, why are you here?" Zhuang Rou subconsciously hid her left hand behind her and said with a hippie smile.

"Sit forward." Zhuang Xuewen grabbed the horse and said that he was about to turn over and ride up.

Zhuang Rou was so frightened that she stepped forward, then gave up the saddle and sat on the horse's back. Zhuang Xuewen sat up behind him, grabbed the reins and shook the reins, and then rode forward.

"Brother, where do you want to take me?" Zhuang Rou hugged the horse's neck and asked puzzled.

Zhuang Xuewen ignored her, just rode a horse and took her around a few streets, stopped at the door of a medical center, and pulled Zhuang Rou down and dragged her into the medical hall.

"Doctor Lu, how is this injury?" Zhuang Xuewen asked with a serious face.

Doctor Lu wrote a prescription, blew the ink and said to him: "It's okay, I've already wrapped Ling Mei, although it is deeply pierced, it is only an arm, just rest for a few days." Take this recipe back and drink it, which will help to build muscles and bones. ”

"Thank you." Zhuang Xuewen took the prescription and glanced at it, then handed it to the medicine boy to grab the medicine, and asked some things to pay attention to usually, plus the taboo of food.

Zhuang Rou didn't look at the two of them, only knew that there was a big trouble, and the injury was known by his brother, and he would definitely be scolded.

But when she thought about it again, when she didn't object to the arrest, the injury must have been thought of as well. The day before yesterday, I prepared a lot of self-defense items for myself, probably not being scolded this time.

At this time, the medicine had been caught, Zhuang Xuewen carried the medicine and said, "Let's go, go home." ”

"Oh." Zhuang Rou followed him out, this time the two of them did not ride the same horse, but she sat on the horse, and Zhuang Xuewen led the horse home.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, just walked quietly on the road, and the pedestrians on the street began to increase, so Zhuang Xuewen found an alley with fewer people, and it was suddenly much quieter.

After walking for a while, Zhuang Rou bit her lower lip, looked at his back and squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother, that big murder case was solved by me, I have a treat to celebrate at night, what does my brother want to eat?" ”

Zhuang Xuewen didn't speak, and continued to lead the horse forward, which made Zhuang Rou frown, and shouted cautiously: "Brother, brother, you speak!" ”

In her call, Zhuang Xuewen finally stopped, looked back at her and finally softened her attitude, "I'll give you armor tomorrow." ”

"Don't, that's so ugly!" Zhuang Rou was stunned for a moment, covered her face and shouted in pain, how can anyone be caught wearing armor, how ugly it is!

Zhuang Xuewen looked up at her and said, "But I can't lose you, I almost lost you last night, and if you get hurt again, you won't go out." ”

"I'm the same, I don't want to lose my brother." Zhuang Rou stopped and asked softly, "Brother, what did you say my father was arrested for?" ”

After taking a deep look at her, Zhuang Xuewen turned to his side and said, "Let's get rid of violence and peace, the second uncle is a jealous and hateful person." And the second aunt is also very good and has helped a lot of people. ”

"Oh? What good things did my mother do? Zhuang Rou was too young at the time, and she didn't know or understand many things, and she couldn't remember what good things her mother had done.

Zhuang Xuewen recalled: "She helped the grandmother who bought raw watermelons to exchange ripe melons, exchanged the villagers who bought sick cattle from the seller's house for good cattle, and also helped the family recover the deed from the villains, anyway, she did a lot." ”

"......" Zhuang Rou looked at him stunned, feeling that her mother was too, how could she do these things, she couldn't help asking, "Brother, what does my mother do?" ”

"Thief." Zhuang Xuewen responded without hesitation.

Zhuang Rou was stunned and looked at him well, but saw Zhuang Xuewen smile gently at her, "You look very much like her, but the second aunt is more pungent and not as gentle as you." ”

These words made Zhuang Rou silent, and only after a while did she say, "Brother, you really love Wu and Wu." ”

"Hahaha, my sister is the most gentle and beautiful, although the second aunt is good, she is still not as good as her sister." Zhuang Xuewen smiled, but his tone changed again, "But you have to recuperate at home, and you can only go on an errand when you have good hands, then there is nothing wrong with the broken county government." ”

"Okay." Zhuang Rou looked at the sky and replied helplessly.

When he returned home, Zhuang Rou was raised, and three meals a day were all good fish and meat, in addition to the bitter medicine, he also added two more tonics, and Zhuang Rou meat was eaten hard.

Zhuang Xuewen threw a letter over in Douhu County, anyway, my sister is suffering, and you will take advantage of it, so you have to take care of your injuries. The little king didn't care, so he agreed to give her a vacation, and it was okay to heal from her injuries and go over.

Although Zhuang Rou was locked up at home, she was very concerned about the situation of her case, and waited for seven or eight days before Zhuang Xuewen brought back the news.

King Xian was cut off, originally all the princes wanted to inherit the throne, but he had no way to teach his son, and only his son-in-law Zhou Zhao was alone, and after a hundred years of King Xian, Zhou Zhao could not be a prince and became the king of the county. But his son can't even be the king of the county, and he has to be demoted by one level.

This is simply the biggest punishment for the royal family, and the matter was spread all over the market in an instant. And those ministers who were dismissed were directly drowned in the news that King Xian was cut down.

Who cares about this, this is the first time in more than 200 years since the opening of the dynasty that a prince has been cut off in the Dahao Dynasty. This made the other hereditary princes a little uneasy, and if the first one didn't get it right, there was a second.

Everyone tried to find out what King Xian had done, but he didn't resist much and let the emperor cut the title.

After inquiring about the matter, everyone was dumbfounded, this kind of thing happened, and King Xian really had no way to teach his son. Princess Pingrui is not Zhou Zhao's cousin, and she has been bullied for so many years with so many people.

If it weren't for the emperor's accession to the throne and giving her the mansion, she would still be suffering in the Xian Palace!

The princes' hearts have stabilized a lot, they didn't do this kind of thing, it's really embarrassing, and Princess Pingrui's maid Huan sacrificed herself to rebel in order to protect the lord, what a good servant!

This result was completely beyond Zhuang Rou's imagination, Zhou Zhao didn't suffer any flesh and skin, but he changed from a prince to a county king, and it didn't seem to be a big deal. Thinking of the luxury of the life of Chu Xia, the king of the little county, she didn't think that this was a punishment at all.

However, the next day, when Zhuang Rou had been lifted and could go to Douhu County, he heard unexpected news.

Originally, if he was a horse, he could not enter the court as an official again, but it was rumored that Xu Yiheng was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Labor.

Zhuang Rou was stunned, Xu Yiheng is no longer a colt?

Princess Pingrui's mansion has returned to calm, the peach forest cottage has already been cleaned, the princess leaned quietly on the mat, looking at the peach blossoms falling outside, just staring blankly.

In the peach forest, Xu Yiheng and Xiaojun Wang were standing under the tree, looking at Princess Pingrui in the cottage from a distance.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to visit the princess." Xu Yiheng thanked him.

Chu Xia waved his hand and said, "No thanks, there is only so much I can do, and cutting off the title of the Xianwang Mansion is even more painful for them." ”

Xu Yiheng bowed deeply and thanked him for his help for the princess, if it wasn't for the little county king's action, maybe this matter would have been settled.

"Don't be so polite, no, I should call you a foreigner." Chu Xia said with a smile.

"Weichen didn't dare to be, His Highness laughed." Xu Yiheng hurriedly said.

Chu Xia squinted his eyes and smiled, "You did all this, right?" ”

Xu Yiheng was stunned, "What?" Wechen doesn't understand. ”
