Chapter 386: There shouldn't be a barrier
Aunt Qin looked outside and made sure that none of the people arranged in the palace were there, so she closed the door and followed into the house.
Cheng Xi looked at Aunt Qin's cautious appearance, frowned slightly and asked, "Aunt Qin, what is so mysterious and secret?" ”
Aunt Qin whispered, "Madam, the slave maid was just on the way to the kitchen, and she overheard something related to the master's wife, so she hurried back to tell the lady." ”
Cheng Xi saw that Aunt Qin was so cautious, her heart must be something serious, but what was a serious matter? Cheng Xi wondered, "What's the matter?" ”
Listening to Aunt Qin, she continued to whisper, "Those subordinates are talking about the quarrel between His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess yesterday, but the reason for the quarrel is because the master and the lady, saying yes, saying that the master and the lady want to seize the position of the prince. ”
Cheng Xi's eyes widened and he scolded angrily, "Who is making up these rumors and talking nonsense? ”
It's just that Cheng Xi was silent after speaking, there is no wind and no waves, this matter, if it is nothing, no one will dare to arrange it like this, so it is almost true? So what is the reason that makes them think that Xu Saburo wants to seize the throne again?
No wonder Zhao Yu's attitude has been so strange these days, is it because of this?
Aunt Qin saw the distress on her wife's face, so she stood aside obediently, and did not speak, but she was a little worried in her heart, staying in this Ruiwang Mansion did not seem to be peaceful.
After being silent for a while, Cheng Xi raised his head and looked at Aunt Qin, "You make some silver to inquire about the specific situation, so that no one will find out." ”
Aunt Qin nodded in response, then turned around and went out to do this, there were many people in this house, and Aunt Qin was a person who would come to things, so she could find out the ins and outs of things.
After Cheng Qingu left, Cheng Xi sat in the room for a while before going out to continue telling stories to Baisui Ruyu, but at this time, Cheng Xi was obviously a little absent-minded, and from time to time he was distracted.
Xu Sanlang came back with Wenyuan Gongzi in the evening, and what he saw was Cheng Xi sitting alone by the charcoal fire in a daze, and Ruyu took the hundred-year-old to teach the hundred-year-old to recite poetry on the side.
The two of them entered the house, Cheng Xi was still immersed in his thoughts and did not come back to his senses, Xu Sanlang went directly to Cheng Xi's side and sat down, and Wen Yuan Gongzi sat opposite Cheng Xi, stretched out his hand and waved in front of Cheng Xi, and asked, "Xi'er, come back to your senses, what are you thinking, you are thinking so much." ”
Cheng Xi finally came back to his senses, raised his head and saw that Gongzi Wen Yuan was already sitting opposite him, and Xu Sanlang was also sitting beside him, so he answered, "You're back." ”
Xu Saburo nodded and responded, "Why do you look preoccupied?" ”
Cheng Xi sighed and answered, "I have something to say to you." ”
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, Cheng Xi looked at the door, it was Ah Wu standing at the door, and there were no other subordinates, but Cheng Xi was worried that someone outside would hear it, so he still said to Ah Wu at the door, "Others are approaching." ”
After Ah Wu responded, Cheng Xi lowered his voice and asked, "Did Ge Shu tell you anything?" ”
Xu Saburo said inexplicably, "What are you talking about?" ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan opened his mouth and said, "What does Madam know? I think His Royal Highness the Prince has been a little abnormal these days, especially today. ”
Xu Saburo echoed, "It's really true, today is much more serious than before." ”
Wen Yuan Gongzi said, "It's not that it's much more serious, it's obvious that there is something in mind." ”
Xu Sanlang listened to what Gongzi Wen Yuan said, thought of Ge Shu's strange appearance today, and combined with Cheng Xi's inquiry just now, he opened his mouth and asked, "But what's the matter?" ”
Cheng Xi sighed again and answered, "Ge Shu and Yu'er quarreled. ”
Xu Saburo was slightly stunned, and muttered, "No wonder." ”
But I felt that something was wrong, Ge Shu quarreled with Yu'er, what did it matter to them, Cheng Xi still sighed with a distressed face?
Doubts appeared in Xu Sanlang's eyes again, and he heard Cheng Xi whisper, "It's because of us." ”
Xu Sanlang frowned slightly when he heard that they were quarreling, and Cheng Xi continued, "Everyone is talking about it, saying that the two of them are quarreling because they are worried that we will compete for the position of the prince. ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi sighed again, "What happened at the last New Year's banquet, I thought you had already left it aside, but I didn't expect to let those people provoke successfully." ”
Xu Sanlang didn't expect Cheng Xi to say such a thing, and he was even more incredulous in his heart, his thoughts should be obvious, how could Ge Shu suspect that he had the heart to seize the position of the son of the world?
It was impossible for Ge Shu to think so, and soon Xu Saburo had a conclusion in his heart, and said, "Ge Shu won't doubt us, it should be Zhao Yu." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang, "So sure?" ”
Xu Saburo nodded affirmatively.
Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as he doesn't think so, it's fine, otherwise it's really troublesome, hey, I really want us to leave everything alone and go back to our Pear Flower Village." ”
On the side, Gongzi Wen Yuan opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, now that you leave Jiangnan, you are a lamb to be slaughtered." ”
Cheng Xi frowned, "Then when can we go back?" ”
Xu Sanlang didn't speak, and remained silent, because Xu Sanlang couldn't give Cheng Xi an exact answer, now they have almost completely broken with the capital, and both sides are making their own preparations for the last fight, even the people from Lihua Village, he has already notified General Xue Xiao and took everyone to Huai'an City under his control for temporary refuge, so as not to Xu Wenyu take the opportunity to attack them.
Cheng Xi looked at the silent two and asked, "Is the big war coming?" ”
Xu Sanlang knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide, and there was no need to hide them from Cheng Xi, so he nodded.
Cheng Xi saw Xu Sanlang's movements, so he asked a little anxiously, "Will the people in Lihua Village be in danger?" ”
Xu Sanlang comforted, "Don't worry, arrangements have been made and sent to General Xue Xiao." ”
Cheng Xi was relieved when he heard Xu Sanlang's answer, and muttered, "It seems that I really can't go back." ”
Several people fell silent for a while, and after a while, Cheng Xi continued, "The rumor that you want to seize the throne has now spread in the circle of people in the Rui Wang's mansion, even Ge Shu and Rui Wang don't think so, but if such rumors spread too much, it will make people think that it is true." ”
Xu Saburo was also very upset at this time, this kind of thing, there were such rumors, someone must have a heart to do it, intended to provoke their relationship, presumably thinking that the fight had not started outside, and he had broken the rumors first inside, but he thought it was very beautiful.
Xu Sanlang looked at Cheng Xi's worried face, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll handle this matter." ”
Cheng Xi is still a little worried, how to deal with this kind of thing?
Gongzi Wen Yuan on the side smiled lightly and said, "Xi'er don't worry, let's tell King Rui truthfully about this matter, and King Rui will handle it properly, at this time, someone deliberately spread this kind of rumor, it must be ulterior motives, and the princess of that world may also be used and provoked." ”
Cheng Xi heard what Gongzi Wen Yuan said, so she lowered her head and began to ponder, she didn't think about it in this regard, but she also felt that it made sense, I was afraid that the people in this dark place would deliberately make trouble, Cheng Xi muttered, "It seems that this Ruiwang Mansion is not very clean." ”
Gongzi Wenyuan said, "As long as there is the temptation of interests, there are always moths from those people who fight the fire, but the people behind this should be found out earlier, it seems that this Rui Wangfu has to be investigated again." ”
At this time, Ah Wu reported at the door, saying that dinner had come from the kitchen, and the three of them ended the topic and prepared to have dinner.
Because of the relationship between Ruyu, Gongzi Wenyuan has basically taken root in their courtyard, as long as they come back for dinner, Gongzi Wenyuan will be here most of the time, and finally simply packed up a house in the wing room here and moved over, so as not to run around in trouble.
After dinner, everyone went back to rest, Cheng Xi has long been accustomed to the habit of going to bed early and getting up early in this era, and he can usually fall asleep early, but today he has been preoccupied and has not slept, Xu Sanlang didn't know what to discuss with a group of guards, and he didn't come back yet, Cheng Xi simply sat up from the bed and waited for Xu Sanlang while thinking nonsense.
Xu Sanlang was originally worried that he would come back too late and wake up Cheng Xi's sleep, and he deliberately went back to the guards to wash up, but when he returned to the house, he found that Cheng Xi was still sitting on the bed in a daze, not sleeping at all.
Seeing that Cheng Xi actually had a thin undershirt on his body, Xu Sanlang frowned, walked over to Cheng Xi's side quickly, pulled up the quilt and wrapped it around Cheng Xi's body and reprimanded, "Sitting on the bed in such a thin dress, I don't know that if I wrap it in a quilt, I will get a cold." ”
Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, obediently let Xu Sanlang wrap himself in the quilt and lie down, watched Xu Sanlang get on the bed in wide clothes, and got into his bed.
Cheng Xi automatically rolled into Xu Sanlang's soft arms, and heard Xu Sanlang ask softly helplessly, "Why don't you sleep at this time, sitting on the bed and being stupid?" ”
Cheng Xi whispered, "I can't sleep, wait for you to come back." ”
Xu Sanlang caressed Cheng Xi's quilt, "Still worried about what I said earlier?" ”
Cheng Xi hummed softly and said, "Xu Sanlang, I did something wrong. ”
Xu Sanlang heard Cheng Xi's inexplicable words, and said inexplicably, "What's wrong?" What went wrong? ”
Cheng Xi sighed helplessly and said, "It's because I can't hold my breath too much, and I gradually became estranged from Princess Rui and Zhao Yu, and gradually became estranged." ”
Xu Saburo responded, "If you don't like it, you don't have to interact with them, you don't have to force yourself, what are you wrong?" That's right. ”
Cheng Xi responded, "Hey, that's what I said, but if I think about it carefully, I still shouldn't do it, even if it's a forced pretend, I shouldn't be estranged from them." ”
