When the group arrived at Linfeng Xuan, the white-haired old man in Tsing Yi and robe was already sitting in it, and when he saw the guests, he got up slowly, Zhuo Xi stepped forward first, saluted the master, and then introduced Dingshan and others. Mr. Wen and Jozan have had a few encounters, and the family is meeting for the first time, and Chiba, the princess of Ankoku, is even more different.

Seeing that Mr. wanted to come to perform the courtesy of the monarch and minister, Chiba smiled and said: "Mr. is a person outside the world, and he does not dare to treat each other with secular etiquette, so how can he come here to be a monarch and a minister." Today, I brought my young sister to study with my teacher, and I also invited my husband to take a seat and receive a gift. ”

Mr. Wen smiled and nodded, and then entered the door with the others.

Linfeng Xuan is all futons with a few low points, or cross-legged or upright, adults are okay, only Tuan Tuan is difficult to settle down. When the adults were talking, she always moved around trying to change a comfortable position, Erniang reminded softly several times, and finally alarmed the old gentleman, Erniang said embarrassedly: "The mountain girl has no rules, please forgive me, it is because I am afraid that she will be ignorant and stupid in the future, so I want to ask Mr. to give advice and enlighten this child." ”

Let's say that after Tuan Tuan is enrolled, it will naturally not be taught by Mr. Wen himself, and there will be other people under the sect to teach on his behalf, but even so, it is extremely difficult to be included in Wenxian Villa, and it is difficult for even the prince to enter the school, let alone ordinary people. But Zhuo Xi and Dingshan have been promised by Mr. and are willing to teach Tuan Tuan for them, so they brought the family to express their gratitude, and Zhuo Xi did not tell Dingshan a word, that is, Mr. told him that he wanted to meet Princess Anguo.

Just came in the door, Chiba said that she felt that she had been here, Zhuo Xi knew more in his heart that there must be a relationship between the teacher and Chiba, at this moment on the side to see an old man and a young man calmly talking and laughing, the pity in Mr.'s eyes is very different from his usual detachment and indifference.

Soon after, the ladies took their children to follow the children in the villa to see where Tuan Tuan would study in the future, and wrote down the hours of going to and from school every day in the future, etc., leaving only Zhuo Xi and Dingshan in Linfeng Xuan.

However, before Zhuo Xi could ask, Mr. Wen had already said: "Fifteen years ago, the prince took his wife and children on a private visit, traveled to the old man's villa, and left after staying for three days. Because of my relationship with the prince, the old man once agreed with the prince that when the county lord was five years old, and when the prince added a son, I would go out of the mountain to Beijing and teach the prince the county lord on my behalf, and I didn't want to ...... two years later."

Dingshan and Zhuo Xi glanced at each other, is it any wonder that the old gentleman moved to the capital thirteen years ago, and it was the death of the prince and the unfinished agreement that touched him?

Mr. Wen sighed: "The princess's words and deeds are very similar to the former crown prince and princess, which shows that she is noble, even if she is deep in the quagmire and swamp, she is still out of the mud and unstained. At that time, the crown princess was sensitive and studious, although she was a daughter, she had the talent to assist the prince in governing the world, and her ambitions were lofty and her mind was hilly. ”

Dingshan thought in his heart, Mr. Wen's words seemed to have another deep meaning, if it was combined with the rumors in the palace, a person with such a heart and magnanimity as the princess, even if she was heartbroken by the death of the prince, would not easily leave the world and flesh and blood martyrdom away, but should raise the prince's bloodline to inherit the will, and would not leave Chiba at all?

And Zhuo Xi asked bluntly: "Does the master think that the crown princess should not be martyred and hanged?" ”

Mr. Wen shook his head: "It's not that it shouldn't, it's not, the old man still doesn't believe it." However, he didn't want to interact with the people of the royal family of the imperial court, so he couldn't find out the news of the little county lord, and he waited until today in Beijing, and promised the prince that he would teach the county lord for him, and he would take a look at it no matter what. Coincidentally, it was Zhuo Xi who facilitated this fate for the old man, which shows that there is destiny in the dark. ”

Dingshan said: "If the princess knows about this, she will be grateful to Mr., why didn't Mr. mention it?" ”

Mr. Wen smiled: "Now this world is already your young people's. ”

The old gentleman said this clearly, but it seemed to be easy to understand, how smart Dingshan and Zhuoxi were, and they didn't dare to ask more about what Mr. Comprehension meant, as for whether to tell Chiba, they had to weigh it again. However, when parting, Mr. Wen sighed again: "The stars are disordered and the demons are in charge, and the Ji dynasty is in danger. ”

Dingshan and Zhuo Xi were not from the imperial court, let alone from the royal family, originally they were far away on Shending Mountain, even if the royal family collapsed and changed the dynasty, it had nothing to do with them. But now it's different, Chiba is the wife of Joyama, she is the heir of the Ji dynasty, and Zhuo Xi followed the four princes, originally to assist him to become a generation of Ming monarchs. The old gentleman's words were naturally said to them.

When leaving Linfeng Xuan, Zhuo Xi asked Dingshan: "Will you tell Chiba about the crown princess?" ”

Dingshan hesitated: "If you say it, the murderers are undoubtedly those in the palace, Chiba will always think about revenge, but if she can't take revenge, or can't prove that they are the ones who killed the crown princess, she can only be in deep pain, I don't know if I have the ability to relieve her." ”

Zhuo Xi said: "But Chiba will know one day, can she let her hear more unbearable words from other people's mouths?" Just as I advised you to make it clear to Chu Ge that day, but you blindly thought that Chu Ge would figure it out by himself, in fact, sometimes we think things too complicated, they are far stronger than we think, and weaker than we think, it depends on what is going on and who is telling them. ”

Dingshan knows that Zhuo Xi has always been thoughtful, and he also knows Mr. Wen better than himself, the old gentleman told the story that has been buried for more than ten years today, naturally it has his intentions, and the dynasty is facing a crisis, Zhuo Xi said coldly: "The Han family is in power, and the queen's preference for her nephew Han Jiye has gone crazy, and their family and the emperor have collapsed, and it is really a day and night." ”

"Brother." Tuan Tuan's crisp voice came, and the little butterfly rushed to Dingshan, proudly saying that she was going to school and studying, and the family slowly followed, seeing Chiba smiling like a spring breeze, Dingshan really couldn't bear to let her regain the pain of the old days.

However, Zhuo Xi and Dingshan Fangcai's hearts were solemn, and they did not escape the eyes of their families, at least Chu Ge saw it in their eyes, and even Chiba also noticed it. After returning home, they dispersed, and Chiba was not sure, so he asked Cotton to prepare tea and personally sent it to the study, originally to ask Dingshan what was on his mind.

When the craftsman sent the drawings, Joyama pulled her to the table to look at it, pointed to the pavilion on the drawings and said, "They have drawn them according to what you think, you can see what else you have to add or subtract, and the construction will start after the summer, and if you hurry up, it will be completed before the waxing moon." ”

Chiba looked at it happily, after all, the last time she went home was seven or eight years ago, and she still remembered the original appearance of the home, and it was not difficult to restore the place where her father and mother lived. Even Erniang said that what they have in their family is silver, and if it is not good to build it, it is a big deal to demolish and rebuild it, and there is no need to look at the emperor's face. The way Erniang pampered her was nothing more than obedient.

"You said today, it seems that you have been to Wenxian Villa?" Dingshan was peaceful on the surface, and his heart was already overturned, but Zhuo Xi's words he thought twice, why wait for Chiba to learn from others, what should she do if she was not by her side at that time? Sooner or later, you have to face it, and if you drag it out, I'm afraid that Chiba will also misunderstand herself.

Chiba said with certainty: "I don't dare to talk nonsense in the villa, but I seem to have really been there, and then I followed Tuan Tuan to see where she studied, and it seems familiar, did I see it in a dream?" ”

Joyama said: "Mr. Wen built the original mountain villa in the mountains in Beijing as it is. ”

Chiba asked curiously, "That means there is another mountain villa that is exactly the same?" ”

Dingshan sank his heart and said solemnly: "That's also the place you have been, when you were three years old, you visited the villa with the crown princess and princess, and stayed for three days before leaving, presumably you saw all the scenery in the villa, so you will have an impression." ”

Chiba thought it was incredible, but when she said this, the dream-like memory seemed to be clear, and naturally it was also combined with what she saw and heard today, and it was almost impossible to remember what happened when she was three years old, and she even forgot what her father and mother looked like.

"Did Mr. Wen say that?" Chiba calmed down and couldn't help but feel sad, "Why didn't Mr. tell me personally, is he afraid of mentioning my father and mother in front of me?" ”

Joyama slowly told Chiba what Mr. said, word by word, telling her that her mother was such a wonderful woman, and finally said: "Sir thinks that with the mind and bearing of the crown princess, she will never be martyred, let alone leave you." ”

Chiba had tears in her eyes, but she bit her lip and didn't let herself cry, and after calming down a little, she choked up and said: "Actually, for so many years, I have deceived myself like this, but that is just me deceiving myself, I saw my mother hanging under the beam, Dingshan, she ......"

"Listen to me." Joyama held Chiba's trembling shoulders and told her with a stern expression, "On the day of Concubine Fang's birthday banquet, the fourth prince and I heard Jinzhu and Miss Han's secret words in the side hall, saying that it was rumored in the palace that the former crown princess was not martyred and hanged. ”

Chiba's red lips trembled, and Joyama asked her, "I asked you if you remember anything else, you just have to think about it now, have you ever seen the crown princess hang up the white silk with your own eyes, have you seen her hanging from the beam, has she said anything to you at the end?" ”

"No, when I saw my mother, she was hanging there." Chiba shook her head again and again, her hand tightly grasping Joyama's arm, and she seemed to understand Joyama's meaning.

"The crown princess was probably strangled to death first, and then hung up." Every word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but when Dingshan said it, he realized at this moment that it was far easier to face the aftermath than to hide this secret.

Chiba's emotional ups and downs are too great, and her body seems to be unable to bear it, but under the comfort of Joyama, she finally gradually calmed down, she didn't think about such a thing, but it was really in front of her, for her, she also had to face the guilt of secretly resenting her mother for many years, her mother left so tragically, but she used resentment to support herself to live.

Calming down, Chiba said, "If it's true, then who will be the poisoner?" Empress, someone from the Han family? ”

Dingshan bowed: "The interests are only a few of them, of course, including the current emperor." ”

Chiba's tears rolled down, but she was very strong, and she asked, "Then can I kill them and avenge my mother?" ”
