"Don't worry." Chen Fang smiled, "My son is ready." ”
Chen Zhao stroked his beard: "Since everything is ready, let's send it quickly." ”

The Eldest Princess's Mansion.
As soon as the sky dawned, the shops selling breakfast on Suzaku Street on the periphery opened their doors, signaling that a busy day was about to begin. This is the practice in the capital, as soon as the shop opens early, the businessmen who sell vegetables and rush to the market will open their doors, and Suzaku Street will be lively. The big families near Suzaku Street will start a day of shopping at this time, except for the Zhuangzi delivery, some fresh seasonal vegetables will go to the market on Suzaku Street, and the people will go out from the back door and back from the back door, but it is more lively than the front door.
On this day, as soon as the eldest princess's mansion opened the back door, she saw a black wooden box placed in the back door.
The box is not big, six inches in size, and the paint finish is exquisite, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance. Under the wooden box, there was also a letter pressed. The next person who bought was an old woman in her fifties, leading two little girls, her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she couldn't bend down, so the little girl picked up something and handed it to her. She took the things, looked around, and saw no one, and couldn't help muttering: "Who sent this, it's so valuable, it's definitely not an ordinary item." ”
As she spoke, she casually opened the wooden box and took a look.
"Ahh
With just one glance, the two girls behind him screamed, turned white in fright, and retreated to the eldest princess's mansion.
The old woman's face also changed drastically, and she fell back into the house again and again. She tightened her grip on the letter, told the two girls to wait for her here, and ran quickly to the mansion.
The eldest princess has changed her personality recently, and she no longer spends her days being depressed, eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and has to go out to play from time to time. Now is the warmest time of the year, she goes out early, and the people in the main courtyard are busy, all of them are busy with the affairs of the eldest princess. The eldest princess, Zhu Qinglian, wore her hair scattered, drinking sticky gruel, while listening to the housekeeper's report on the cashier of the mansion last month.
As he was talking, he heard a commotion at the door, and the housekeeper's surname was Gao, who stopped talking with an unhappy face, and educated the two girls standing at the door: "What are you still doing, go and see!" ”
The two girls went out and came back soon: "The executive's family, it is Luo's mother who bought in the back garden, she said that she had something important to see the eldest princess, and she also sent this." ”
As she spoke, the girl took the wooden box in both hands and put it in front of the eldest princess.
The executive was stunned, and after opening the wooden box in his hand, his hands were trembling.
It turned out that there was nothing else lying in the wooden box, but a human finger.
Cut off fingers alive.
There was still blood left in the fracture, uneven, as if it had been slowly cut with a blunt knife.
The eldest princess Zhu Qinglian was still drinking rice porridge, and when she saw this, she felt disgusted, and pushed the porridge away, her face turned slightly pale: "Who sent this?" ”
She has seen strong winds and waves, and her reaction is more stable than that of the people below.
The old woman was brought up, and told her what had happened in the morning, and sent another letter. Zhu Qinglian confirmed again and again, she said that there was no one at the door, and the wooden box and letter were placed on the threshold of the back door. Zhu Qing couldn't ask too much, so he waved her hand to let her go back, and went to the executive's house to comfort her, so as to panic the hearts of the people in the house for no reason.
After everyone left, Zhu Qinglian opened the letter.
It was obviously a thin piece of paper, but it was like a thousand gold, Zhu Qinglian couldn't hold it, and the letter floated to the ground.
Mama Zhang, who has served her for many years, picked it up and looked at it, and shook her hands accordingly.
I saw a sentence written in black and white on the thin paper:
Whether Gao Xingzhi is dead or alive depends on how you choose.
There was no name written on the payment, but a plum blossom was spent.
"Who is this?" Mama Zhang's face was like earth: "How did the son fall into their hands?" ”
"Who else could it be. Plum blossom...... This was sent by the Chen family. The eldest princess fell back tiredly, there were already traces of water brewing in her eyes, she closed her eyes, and tears rolled down: "What happened to Ling Fang, you go and inquire." If anything happens, I can't sit idly by. ”
There is no need to inquire about this, and soon, the eldest princess will know.
"Dali Temple ......" her eyes flashed slightly, wiped away her tears and stood up: "Change clothes, I want to go to Chen's house." ”
"Eldest Princess!" Mama Zhang stomped her feet, knowing that she couldn't do much to dissuade her, and said while instructing the girl to change her clothes: "This thing is definitely not simple, it's so good, how can the son be a bandit?" The Chen family made it clear that they wanted to frame their son, and even the loan shark came out to talk about it. The eldest prince is mainly going, and this old man doesn't know how to threaten the eldest princess! ”
The Chen family is uneasy and kind, and you can get a glimpse of it from the severed finger that was sent.
However, the eldest princess really can't help but go.
"Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is unknown, it is certainly not for no reason that he is doing this, I heard yesterday that Xinzhi arrested the son of the Chen family, and it is reasonable for Chen Zhao to be anxious." When the eldest princess thought of this, her heart also settled, but when she thought of the severed finger, she was still anxious and distressed: "No matter what, I want to go and see first, what Chen Zhao wants to do, just take a trip to know." He used so much effort to lure me out, he didn't want to catch up with me. ”
"Miss has nothing to talk about with him!" As soon as Mama Zhang was excited, she took out her former title.
The eldest princess glanced at her, pursed her thin lips and did not speak.
After reminiscing, she sighed faintly.
"After so many years, I'm getting old, and he can't still think about me. He is that person, he loves them the Chen family the most at all times, and it can't be for me. Mama, you're thinking too much. ”
She said.
The carriage stopped silently at the back door of Chen's house, Mama Zhang got out of the car and handed over the post, and not long after, Chen Zhao's messy footsteps sounded at the door.
He looked at the carriage parked at the back door, his eyes sparkling, as if he was sighing. Walking to the carriage, he saluted: "Weichen participates in Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”
The curtain was raised, a pair of plain white hands were stretched out, and then, the man leaned out.
Time is slightly wrong, as if thirty years have passed in a flash.
Chen Zhao seemed to see the same self thirty years ago, and he was also so stupid looking at the woman who came out of the carriage. She is still twenty-eight years old, combing her hair, with a bright moon in her ears, and when she tilts her head slightly, her straight nose bridge and a pair of smart eyes make people unable to take their eyes off. She used to laugh a lot, and any cold joke could make her giggle for a long time. She has a rare spaciousness among women in the capital, and that freedom often makes him feel a little inferiority complex even though he is a powerful person.
Afterward......
Chen Zhao lowered his eyes, the past was unbearable, and he couldn't think about it anymore.
The middle-aged woman who got out of the carriage was not young, and even looked older than the ladies of the same age. She was wearing a long-sleeved skirt, her hair was all combed, and her face was full of traces of time.
Chen Zhao was stunned.
Yes, the high-spirited and delicate woman outside Guangchangmen back then had already died in the year of marriage and the ten years of wandering.
And the person who strangled her was herself.
"Eldest princess, be careful!" Chen Zhao opened his mouth, but retracted the hand that had been stretched out.
The eldest princess's gaze fell on his face, and after standing still, she looked at him calmly: "It's too expensive to invite me here, shouldn't you want to keep me at the gate to talk?" ”
"Please!" Chen Zhao hurriedly invited people in.
Entering the door, he directly introduced the eldest princess into the flower hall - in fact, for a distinguished guest like the eldest princess, he should be invited to the main hall is a courtesy. If not, it should be the ladies of the house who come to receive them as a formal courtesy. But he didn't want to, he comforted himself, the things he wanted to talk about today were very important, the main hall was full of people, and the women in the back garden were prone to bad things, so he invited to the remote and quiet flower hall.
The eldest princess lowered her eyes, but didn't say anything.
She was so anxious that she didn't want to guess what Chen Zhao was hiding, and she wasn't interested at all.
After taking a seat, the eldest princess directly picked out the words: "I want to see Gao Xingzhi." ”
"People are in prison in Dali Temple." Chen Zhao poured tea for the eldest princess, and then said, "Since you have seen the things I sent, you also know that people will not easily see them for you." ”
"Say it. What conditions. The eldest princess drank tea, lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in her eyes, and said without being salty or light.
It's as if the high line in her mouth is just a person with a slight relationship.
These words made Chen Zhao stunned.
Although he has not dealt with him for many years, he thinks that with his understanding of this woman, she should be in a hurry at this time, and the little girl used to cry when she was in a hurry, and the tears of the bean kept falling one by one, and then she would be so panicked that she had no way to ask what to do. He was in a trance, was the person in front of him still the little girl who loved to cry?
Seeing that he didn't answer, the eldest princess put down the cup and raised her eyes: "You are an official of the imperial court, an official of the imperial court, all of them are first-class businessmen." You stopped the high line, it is impossible for him to force me to say a few words to you, what you want, you just have to say it. Gao Xingzhi is my lifeline, you can use him to coerce me, it seems that you have a lot of things to do, and the conditions you want are also very high. ”
She knew it.
Chen Zhao showed a hint of surprise on his face: "Qingqing, you are really ......"
"Who are you?"
Before the words fell, the eldest princess froze her expression and asked in a cold voice: "Can you call the eldest princess's maiden name?" ”
Chen Zhao was stunned by her words.
He stared at the eldest princess stunned for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Yes, Weichen is arrogant." ”
Thinking of this, all the thoughts that had just been rolling all stopped. He looked at the familiar face, and felt complicated and inexplicable in his heart, but soon, he settled down and said slowly: "The eldest princess is right, Weichen does have one thing to ask for here. The eldest princess laughed, but he didn't care, and continued: "I hope the eldest princess can help me to poke out one thing at the Mid-Autumn Festival feast in the fifteenth day." ”
