Qingshan was tied to a stool with five flowers, a rag stuffed in his mouth, and He Xiaoxiao and Hefeng, who were in stark contrast to the embarrassed Qingshan, sat leisurely next to them and munched melon seeds.

When the two saw Jiang Cailing coming back, Hefeng pointed at Qingshan, "Girl, this person said that he had something important to tell you, but I didn't worry, so I tied him up." ”

Jiang Cailing's red lips were lightly raised, a sneer flashed in her eyes, and she said faintly, "The person who came is a guest, the son of the family has just entered the earth, we should be friendly to him, maybe the son of the family will be born in the next life to become the prince and grandson of which country." ”

When Qingshan heard this, his struggling movements stiffened.

Hefeng pulled out the rag in his mouth, and Qingshan immediately said to Jiang Cailing, "I have something to say to you alone." ”

"They're all people I trust, and there's nothing they can't know."

Qingshan saw that Jiang Cailing did not mean to avoid others, her eyebrows frowned slightly, could it be that she just said the sentence "prince and grandson" casually?

Qingshan didn't speak for a long time, and Jiang Cailing was vaguely impatient between her eyebrows, "It's really grinding, Ah Xiao, Hefeng, you go to rest first, if he wants to kill me, he won't come alone." ”

There were only two people left in the room, Jiang Cailing poured herself a cup of hot tea, and said leisurely, "Say, what are your highnesses doing?" ”

Qingshan's eyes widened, even if Jiang Cailing was a smart person, how could she guess the identity of His Royal Highness, even in the Chu State, only the Chu Emperor, the Empress and the Four Princes knew, how could she know?

With vigilance in his eyes, Qingshan's tone couldn't help but turn cold, "How do you know." ”

"I am the daughter of the Xie family of Chenjun, and I have a marriage contract with the ten princes of Chu State, and the ten princes are Su Qingcheng, I already know this. What did Su Qingcheng send you to convince me to escape? Or do you want God to get rid of me without knowing it, so that his people can be transformed into me? ”

Qingshan had already begun to wonder if the woman opposite was the reincarnation of an immortal, she was right, this was indeed His Highness's plan at the beginning, but later His Highness found out that the Xie family and the Chu Emperor had sent people to spy on her. In this way, the Emperor of Chu will be wary of them, which is not conducive to seizing the throne in the future.

Coincidentally, today he found out that Jiang Cailing seemed to be looking for snow dragon ginseng, and after informing His Highness of the news, a sentence came - turn enemies into friends and seek benefits and win-win.

So Qingshan stopped beating around the bush, "Miss He is really smart, our Highness learned that you are looking for Snow Dragon Ginseng, if the girl can help our Highness get the support of the Xie Family, when the big thing is completed, Snow Dragon Ginseng will definitely be offered with both hands." ”

Jiang Cailing was not surprised, in He Xiaoxiao's dream, it was the Ten Princes who ascended the throne. Splendid country, supreme power, if Su Qingcheng has no ambition for the throne, she will not believe it.

"Okay, but what if your Highness repents after ascending the throne?"

As if he had been insulted by someone, Qingshan retorted fiercely: "Our Highness has always valued righteousness, and we must not repay our debts!" ”

Jiang Cailing raised her lips and smiled as if she had heard a great joke, and the mockery that was undisguised floated on her face, "Don't you think it's ridiculous for the rebellious ministers and thieves who seek power and usurp the throne to talk about the word 'righteousness'?" Our cooperation is not due to like-mindedness, but to interests, and your Highness has repeatedly assassinated me three times, so why should I believe his promise? ”

Qingshan knew that Su Qingcheng was not the person Jiang Cailing said, but he was not a Yanyun who could speak well, so he could only answer in the face of Jiang Cailing's questioning, "What does the girl want?" ”

"I give you two choices, one is to write the contract in black and white, if he repents, I will tell the world about his evil deeds of seeking power and usurping the throne!"

"You ......" Qingshan glared at Jiang Cailing angrily, wanting to say something.

"Shh Jiang Cailing put her index finger on her red lips and made a silent motion, half-squinting her eyes and continued, "Second, let your Highness hand over the person he cherishes the most, feed it to be highly poisonous, only I have this antidote." If there is no antidote, even if the whole snow dragon ginseng is used as a medicine, it can only hang a breath, and every full moon night will be full of pain, compared to the pain of purgatory torture over the knife mountain and the oil pot. I've always been kind and reasonable, so I was offered two options, just choose one of them. ”

Good? Reasonable? If she can call it good, there will be no demons in hell. Qingshan sneered, "He Ling'er, can't you be a big thing without you as our Highness?" ”

Jiang Cailing also smiled leisurely, her eyes showed a calculating look in her eyes, and she spoke regretfully for Su Qingcheng, "You have no chance, as long as Emperor Chu has the slightest suspicion about your Highness, Jiangshan will never be your Highness!" ”

"You've really done everything!" Where is this girl from a family, she is clearly a treacherous and cunning female devil!

Jiang Cailing shook her index finger, "People are not for themselves, they are in vain." Tell your son, if you agree to my request, you will come to the house in two days."

After Qingshan left, He Xiaoxiao pushed the door and entered, Jiang Cailing didn't hide these things from her, so she already knew everything, seeing the woman who was powerless to lie on the table, it was completely different from the woman with cold eyebrows and eyes in front of Qingshan just now, He Xiaoxiao said half-distressed and half-helplessly, "People don't do it for themselves, but what you are doing now is for others." ”

Jiang Cailing pulled out a smile, "It's also for myself, I don't want to be widowed at a young age." ”

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for women to be smart." He Xiaoxiao sighed in a low voice, in fact, the news that Jiang Cailing needed snow dragon ginseng was deliberately released by herself, the purpose was to attract Su Qingcheng to take the initiative to cooperate, and sure enough, it really met her expectations.

"If I were really smart, I wouldn't die."

He Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, "Hefeng and I follow you, witchcraft is prevalent in Chu State, and we can still help." ”

Jiang Cailing's heart warmed, although she had only been He Ling'er for half a year, she was full of deep concern for this place, especially He Mingshan and Meng Yun, who made her feel family affection for the first time. Thinking of Xie Qi's words yesterday, He and Meng seemed to know.

Not biological, but treating it as if it were your own...... Jiang Cailing's nose was sour, she must get the snow dragon ginseng smoothly, and then return to Da Zhou, this is her home. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he looked up and said to He Xiaoxiao, "Ah Xiao, do you know how to cook?" ”

"Yes!"

"Come on, you go to the small kitchen now and teach me a few dishes, and I will make them for my father and mother tomorrow."

This night, from time to time, there would be a scream of being chopped by a kitchen knife in Jiang Cailing's yard, or the sound of grinding knives crackling, accompanied by the cry of crows, which was particularly terrifying in this lonely night.

After the painful lesson of being scratched nine times by a kitchen knife and pasting the pot sixteen times, the next day Jiang Cailing finally made two dishes of braised pork and lily celery intact. Although one of the two dishes was fatty and greasy, and the other was bland and tasteless, He Mingshan and Meng Yun still ate happily.

Three bowls of rice and two dishes on a round table can be said to be the most humble meal of the He family, but it is happier than ever.

Parents are such an existence, they don't ask for anything in return, they are full of love, they can be coquettish, they can mess around, they can be wronged, and they can tell them. Parents are still there, and home is there.

Until very late, Jiang Cailing left a long letter on the table, did not say goodbye to anyone, and took Ah Xiao and Hefeng to follow Xie Qi on the road to Chu State......

It was night, and the moon was like a hook, as if it was about to pierce the night sky in an attempt to flow the starlight from the sky to the world.

Before leaving the city gate, He Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Don't you say goodbye to him?" ”

Jiang Cailing leaned against the window, looking at the vast night, Luoyang was still as bright as before. Hearing this, Xing's eyes were dyed with a complicated look, "No, Gu Jiming won't let me risk going to Chu State, when he sees the letter tomorrow, I'm already far away from Luoyang, and he can't stop me." ”

The stars disappear and the moon disappears, and the sunset sinks in the west. After a month of fast horses, Jiang Cailing arrived at Nan'an, the capital of Chu State.

The streets of Nan'an are crowded, the goods are dazzling, and the prosperity is not inferior to Luoyang. However, the four seasons of Chu are not as distinct as the Great Zhou, because the temperature difference between the four seasons is not large, it can be called the four seasons like spring, the complexion is relatively fair, and most of the people are not taller than the Great Zhou people.

Jiang Cailing was sitting in the sedan chair, and when she was about to reach the ears of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Cailing saw through the curtain that a group of people were gathered outside, and everyone was talking about it, as if they wanted to see what the daughter of the Hou Ye of Yipin looked like for 17 years.

Jiang Cailing's ears were extremely good, and she heard a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"I don't know what the Yunyang County Lord looks like who has been missing for seventeen years?"

"It's pitiful, what a good girl is going to marry that waste of the Ten Princes!"

"I also heard that this Yunyang county lord has been married a long time ago, but as soon as he heard that he was a noble daughter, he immediately reconciled with her husband and divorced!"

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and at the end of hearing it, Jiang Cailing shook her head and smiled, it seems that no matter which country, as long as there are people, there will be controversy and gossip.

During these days on the road, she calmed down and thought about what role she should play in convincing Xie Cheng to help Su Qingcheng obtain the throne.

Caring daughter? Or a daughter who can share her worries?

Obviously, if you want to be pampered, intimacy is very important; But if she wants to gain trust, she must let Xie Cheng see her abilities, so she needs absolute freedom to plan the layout.

Since her rebirth, she has kept a low profile, but she is now the focus of the Chu Emperor's surveillance, and if she continues to keep a low profile, it will inevitably limit her development.

After thinking about it, only the vain and arrogant character is very suitable. From a scholarly girl to a noble county lord, since then, she has enjoyed endless wealth and clothing, and her personality has changed greatly, and the Chu Emperor will not be suspicious, on the contrary, he will relax his vigilance, thinking that the daughter of the Xie family is such a powerful person, and will not continue to embarrass the Xie family.

Jiang Cailing's red lips smiled lightly, facing the gossip and random suspicion outside the sedan chair, this is a good opportunity to show arrogance.

Then, Jiang Cailing cleared her throat and said in an arrogant voice, "If you let the county lord know who is chewing the root of his tongue behind his back, the county lord will let my father pull out his tongue and feed it to the dog!" ”
