Seeing Xu Jin again, Chu Xi was a little surprised, because after King Xiaoyao was imprisoned, her complexion looked good.

Chu Xi led her to sit down in the flower hall, but because she had just taken a cold bath, she had a fever, her voice was hoarse, and she kept sneezing.

"What's going on?" Xu Jin sat on the side and asked.

"I'm suffering from some cold, so don't worry." Chu Xi smiled faintly and looked at Xu Jin: "Concubine Xu came over, do you have any orders?" ”

"How dare you say what you command." Xu Jin glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's just that this time the prince had an accident, the emperor saw that for the sake of the late emperor, he thought about a little brotherhood and affection, and didn't do anything to the people in the palace. Xu Jin's tone sounded a little provocative, and Chu Ji smiled faintly: "Concubine Xu is going to see her father?" ”

"Okay." Xu Jin agreed quickly, and seemed to have made a special trip to see Chu Bingsong.

Chu Xi didn't say anything, and immediately got up and led her over.

Along the way, you can meet the servants who are gray and hurrying back and forth with their heads down, Xu Jin naturally knows what happened in the Chu Mansion, otherwise he would not have picked this time.

"I heard that the second lady has been hit hard?" Xu Jin asked as he walked.

Chu Xi smiled faintly: "You can see the second sister in a while." ”

Seeing that Chu Ji seemed to have completely guessed his intentions, Xu Jin couldn't help frowning, and looked at the woman beside her who was dressed in plain clothes with an indifferent expression, and felt that her luxurious clothes were not as good as her plain appearance.

"It's an eventful time in Chu Mansion now, and Ji'er should take good care of herself, don't let these disasters get into trouble." Xu Jin said with a smile.

Chu Xi responded with a faint smile, but she didn't take it to heart, she knew best how these disasters started.

After a short time, he arrived in Chu Bingsong's courtyard, Chu Bingsong was busy thinking about how to let Qin Xue die, and such a monster staying in the mansion was just a laughing stock. Hearing the news of Xu Jin's coming, he felt a sigh in his heart, and always felt that things were not so simple when she came over at this time.

Xu Jin entered the house, looked at Chu Bingsong with a solemn face, chuckled, and turned his head to look at Chu Xi: "Xi'er, can you help me invite the second miss, I want to tell her something." ”

Chu Xi saw that she didn't leave herself, she didn't stay long, bowed her head slightly, and turned her head out of the room with the maids.

Out of the courtyard, Chu Xi paused and looked at Lu Tan: "Go back and get me a thicker cloak, this one on my body is too thin, and it is really cold to wear." ”

Lu Tan understood, saluted and hurriedly retreated, and Chu Xi led people to Ruyi Garden. As soon as Chu Xi left, Lu Tan found a corner and lightly turned over to the roof of Chu Bingsong's study.

Chu Bingsong gave an order and asked Chu Zhenzhen to take care of Qin Xue, but when she saw that scene, she didn't want to take half a step closer at all, even if she had already cleaned up Qin Xue and bandaged her wounds now, she still didn't want to go over and even take a look.

When Chu Xi arrived, she was sitting in the east wing, and the main courtyard refused to even step into the door.

"Is the second sister better?" Chu Xi came over and asked.

As soon as Chu Zhenzhen saw her, she couldn't wait to pounce on her and eat her: "Chu Zhen." How dare you come to see me! ”

"Why not?" Chu Xiwaner.

Chu Zhenzhen hated her so much that she gritted her teeth, and she could still think of the pus-covered Niu Er shaking on her body, which made her want to vomit.

"Chu Xi, don't think I'm afraid of you, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, don't think I don't know, Niu Er was instructed by you!"

Chu Xi didn't deny it, and the corners of her mouth were a little evil: "Since the second sister knows, why don't you guess, I'm barefoot?" ”

"You ----!" Chu Zhenzhen was so angry with her that she couldn't speak, and her silver teeth gritted: "Chu Zhen, you will regret it sooner or later!" ”

"How many times has the second sister said this?" Chu Xi smiled faintly and said Xu Jin's words, and she didn't plan to fight with her here, so what if she won on her lips.

"Xu Jin? The side concubine? Chu Zhenzhen was stunned, and then laughed: "She hasn't been imprisoned yet." ”

"The Easy King will come out soon, why is she going to prison?" There was a cold wind blowing outside, and Chu Xi couldn't help coughing.

Chu Zhenzhen thought she had heard it wrong, and was stunned: "You said that King Xiaoyao would come out?" ”

Chu Xi easily stopped coughing, and then looked at her and said, "Second sister go and ask Concubine Xu, don't you know?" How do I say. After all, it's just speculation. ”

Hearing such news, Chu Zhenzhen's heart ignited hope again, and she hurried to the front yard.

After she left, Chu Xi said, "Go and see your mother." ”

The cold wind blew and blew the leaves in the yard with a rattling sound, and it was gloomy, and the mothers and women guarding the yard lowered their heads one after another, as if no one wanted to go over.

This was exactly what Chu Xi wanted, and she took the green sprouts and went to Qin Xue's room.

When she arrived, Chu Xi was surprised to see Yanxue who had just come out of it, Yanxue's face was pale, and when she saw Chu Xi, she hurriedly stepped forward: "It's really not her." She meant that it wasn't Qin Xue who harmed Wang Gui.

Chu Xi bowed slightly: "You go back first, don't come back in the future." "Chu Bingsong won't leave Qin Xue alive, if Yanxue always comes, it will inevitably become a scapegoat.

Yanxue is now very convinced of Chu Xi's words, she ordered this, and she didn't ask why, but said: "That Wang Gui's hatred"

"This matter can't be rushed, she is stronger and more vicious than you and I imagined, if you leak out of the horse's feet, I'm afraid that if you can't see to avenge Wang Gui, you will die first." Chu Ji said patiently, Chu Dai'er is behind the mysterious southern Xinjiang people, and it is very likely that there is still the seventh aunt behind her, what are they planning, this is a big problem, and now that they choose to lie dormant, she can't startle the snake, so that she can arrange traps.

Yanxue wiped her tears and looked at Chu Xi, who was a little pale: "Miss, are you sick?" ”

"Minor illness, don't worry, you go back first, I'm afraid someone will come to the palace later." Chu Ji said.

Yan Xue was surprised again, but seeing that Chu Xi didn't seem to be joking, she immediately nodded, turned her head and left in a hurry.

After she left, Chu Xi stepped into Qin Xue's room.

Qin Xue was now cleaned up and lay on the bed. There was a quilt covering her mutilated limbs, and if it weren't for the fact that she was as pale as paper, she would have looked like normal.

"Is Mother alright?" Chu Xi asked lightly.

Qin Xue's eyes moved slightly, okay? Haha, she's just worse than dead now.

Chu Xi walked to the side of the bed, looked at her, and chuckled: "This doesn't taste good, but you're okay, your tongue is still there, and you can still speak." At the beginning, she couldn't speak, she couldn't even shout a begging for mercy or cursing, so she could only let people eat her.

Qin Xue's eyes moved again, and she looked at Chu Xi: "You go and kill Chu Bingsong, back then, he was the one who ordered to kill your mother!" ”

Chu Xi's expression was faint, she had known these for a long time.

"But didn't you give the order to make your mother an adult?" Chu Ji asked innocently: "I still remember when my mother was alive, I washed my face with tears all day long, my father always didn't come to Ruyiyuan, he always went to you, and in private, you always came to bully your mother, and slandered your mother, so that Chu Bingsong would also bully her with you." At that time, I was thinking, is your heart made of flesh, otherwise, my mother has helped you again and again, how can you take revenge for such kindness? ”

Chu Xi's words were extremely light and light, but Lu Ya couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry bitterly: "There are also the people around Mrs. back then, including Mother Shen, the eldest lady, how could you bear it, she broke her leg and threw her in the laundry room to be humiliated, and everyone else was tortured to death by you, eldest lady, those are all human lives!" ”

Green Sprout couldn't help but say the words hidden in her heart, she choked up, tears rained down, crying so much that she couldn't even make a sound, but she still had to question intermittently.

Qin Xue's expression was cold, and she only smiled: "They all deserve to die, who made them the sluts." ”

"Looks like your injuries aren't painful enough." Chu Xi didn't laugh angrily, walked to Qin Xue's side and lifted her quilt, looking at her only a piece of her slick body, and said: "The first talented woman in the capital back then, but she was so ruthless, are you happy to get such an end?" ”

"Chu Ji ----!" Qin Xue was embarrassed and resentful, her emotions were mixed together, and she looked at her fiercely: "It's all because I was soft at the time and left you a cheap life!" ”

"You don't have to regret it, I saved your life." Chu Xi remembered her previous life, and was faintly sarcastic: "But in this life, I am here to collect debts, and none of you can escape." ”

Qin Xue looked at her reddened eyes, and her heart suddenly cleared: "It's you, it's you who hurt us, it's you who hurt my Tai'er, and you hurt Zhen Zhen and me!" ”

"Mother is confused." Chu Xi looked at her coldly: "It was Chu Bingsong who hurt Chu Qitai, and it was Chu Bingsong who hurt you, as for Chu Zhenzhen, she dug a pit for me, but she didn't want to jump in by herself, do you think, do you blame me?" ”

"What about the old lady, did you force it to death?" Qin Xue suddenly asked.

Chu Xiwan'er: "It was also Chu Bingsong who forced him to death, if you want to hate, hate this unsympathetic man, he spoke sweetly to you back then, what if he killed his wife for your concubine, now you are not a pig to be slaughtered in his hands." ”

Chu Xi's words made her feel more uncomfortable than the injury on Qin Xue's body: "Chu Xi, you ----"

"I'm here to tell you that your debts haven't been paid yet, and I'll pay them all back." Chu Xue said that, turned her head and was about to leave, Qin Xue looked at her back and asked, "You are the evil ghost, you are Yang Pei, right!" ”

Chu Xi paused, but he didn't reply: "I'm just a debt collector, how much debt you owe, I will pay back!" With that, he left with the green sprouts.

Qin Xue was lying on the bed, looking at herself now, crying bitterly, but she also knew that she could no longer save it.

When Chu Xi came out of Ruyi Garden, she began to cough violently, coughing for a while before stopping, but her body seemed to lose strength, and her head began to be a little dizzy, thinking that it was the basin of cold water and the cold wind in the afternoon that made her weak body completely unable to endure it.

Chu Zhen had just returned to the courtyard, and Chu Zhenzhen had just arrived at Chu Bingsong's study, but when she entered the door, she noticed an abnormal atmosphere.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at Xu Jin, wearing a red wide-sleeved gilded dress, the golden hairpin on her head dazzled her eyes, and she sat upright in the first seat, which really had a bit of noble taste.

Why can she be so majestic, she is clearly just the daughter of a criminal minister and a side concubine of the King of Care, she is the daughter of the prime minister, and she is the future concubine of the King of Care!

"What's wrong. Second Miss forgot how to salute? Xu Jin smiled, no matter how she is the daughter of a criminal minister, no matter how she is a side concubine, she is now also the daughter-in-law of the royal family.

Chu Bingsong darkened his face and glanced at Chu Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, you still don't salute, what are you doing in a daze!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and bowed perfunctorily. Xu Jin looked at it and smiled lightly, but she didn't come to embarrass people today.

"I asked you to come over to tell you something, Prime Minister Chu has already agreed." Xu Jin smiled lightly.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Bingsong, he had clearly betrayed King Xiaoyao, could he still cooperate with the palace?

Chu Zhenzhen couldn't figure it out, looked at Xu Jin, gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Fang, please command." ”

"It's simple." Xu Jin said with a smile: "The prince will come out soon, and after he comes out, he will immediately go to the Chu Mansion to greet his relatives."

"Really!" Chu Zhenzhen immediately became excited, and Xu Jin glanced at her with some pathetic: "That's right, but"

"But what? Is it a dowry or"

"Neither." Xu Jin interrupted her.

"What's that?" Chu Zhenzhen was puzzled, Xu Jin looked at her like this. His face also raised slightly, and he smiled sarcastically: "The prince hopes that the person who sat in the sedan chair that day was not you, but Chu Xi, the eldest lady of the Chu family!" ”

"What!" Chu Zhenzhen was stunned in place like a lightning strike, and it took a while to come back to her senses, chewing tears in her eyes: "Why, I am the princess of the emperor, Chu Zhen is going to marry the prince of Anping, you do this, if the emperor finds out, he will not let you go!" ”

"So" Xu Jin smiled: "You have to do it quietly, the prince said, if it is successful, he will marry you into the palace, after all, the palace now has only one side concubine, right." Xu Jin said with a smile, looking at the arrogant Chu Zhenzhen who was now stunned, and her mood became better and better.

"But" Chu Zhenzhen was still unwilling, she just wanted to wait until she became the princess. can suppress Chu Xi, but I don't want them to have such an idea.

"It's nothing, but it can't be done, since the prince has commanded it again, you just do it." Chu Bingsong opened his mouth and said, Chu Zhenzhen looked at him puzzled, obviously he had become a traitor to the palace, how could he still help King Xiaoyao everywhere?

Xu guessed Chu Zhenzhen's doubts, Xu Jin smiled and said: "Now Prime Minister Chu is also willing to return to the prince's command, Second Miss, time is running out, you prepared earlier." Chu Xi is a difficult one, don't make any mistakes when the time comes, otherwise it will be difficult for the prince to explain. With that, he got up and left directly, but when he left the courtyard, the smile on his face turned cold. How could she be willing to let Chu Xi enter the door, Chu Xi is so smart and means, she has entered the Xiaoyao Palace, they don't want to get out in this life, but the prince has this command. She has no one to rely on now, so she can only do it.

After Xu Jin left, Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Bingsong: "Father, if Chu Ji is allowed to marry, she will definitely not take care of Chu Mansion, and when the time comes, she may have to instigate the prince to deal with Chu Mansion, or not take your father in his eyes at all, father, you think of a way"

"What can I think of!" Chu Bingsong scolded, sighed heavily and looked at Chu Zhenzhen: "You'd better keep quiet and cooperate with me in this matter, otherwise, you don't have to stay in the Chu Mansion." ”

Chu Zhenzhen looked at him in a daze, but she had nothing to say, she had nothing to rely on now, so she could only be at their mercy.

However, she wouldn't let Chu Xi marry so easily!

When the holy decree came, Lu Tan did not come back, because she was entangled, it turned out that Zhao Xunyan had been prepared and knew that Chu Xi's people went back to eavesdrop. Directly sent someone to take the green sandalwood. But Lu Tan's kung fu is getting more and more sophisticated, and there is always some drug hidden in his sleeve from time to time, which can barely gain the upper hand, but he can't get out for a while.

As soon as the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree arrived, he saw Chu Xi's pale face and was startled: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Yan Xue hurriedly said on the side: "I was frightened, and now I have a cold, and now I have to be supported by someone to walk." ”

The father-in-law looked at it and thought for a moment: "The emperor only passed on an oracle this time, and he didn't say that Miss Chu should enter the palace immediately, so let's do it, Miss Chu will rest and recuperate first, and then ask for instructions when she goes home." ”

"Then thank you father-in-law." Yanxue hurriedly said, and someone handed him a stuffed purse, and then sent him out, and when he left, he hurriedly helped Chu Xi back again.

Green Sprout stood by Chu Xi's bedside: "Miss, the slave maid will go down and decoct the medicine for you." ”

Chu Xi only felt that her body was tired, and she always had to cough, but her brain was quite clear. He said, "Not for the time being, and wait." "The emperor will definitely go back and send the imperial doctor over, if it is found out that there is nothing wrong at that time, it will be the crime of deceiving the king.

Seeing Chu Xi say this, Lu Ya gritted his teeth: "But your body bones"

"A little bit of wind and cold, it's okay, you go and see if Lu Tan has come back, if she comes back, let her come to see me immediately." Chu Ji said. This time Xu Jin came over, eighty percent came to pass the word, Zhao Xunyan has Zhen Niang, and the prison is like his own family to him, there will not be much strictness at all, and if he wants to come out, it will be a matter of the past few days.

Not long after, Xiao Fu'er came in from outside, still holding a box in his hand: "Girl, Ruyifang has sent clothes again, and the second shopkeeper has specially ordered, this clothes must be seen by you personally." ”

Chu Xi heard this. Let the person sit on the edge of the bed: "Bring it." ”

"Yes." Xiao Fu'er came over in response and opened the box in front of Chu Xi: "Ah, this rouge powder dress is so beautiful!" Xiao Fu'er's face was full of surprise, Chu Xi reached out and pressed it on her clothes a few times, and then pulled out a letter.

"Stand down, all of you." Chu Ji said.

Xiao Fu'er hurriedly beckoned everyone who was waiting inside and outside the house to retreat, and Chu Xi opened the envelope, and after reading it, his face sank.

Jingkong was actually killed by Zhao Xunyan's people, he came out of the prison last night, this old emperor, it seems that he really doesn't plan to punish him!

"Green Shoots." Chu Xi put the letter away and called at the same time.

Green Sprout came in: "What does the girl command?" ”

Chu Xi thought for a while and said, "You go to the Hou Mansion and tell Mrs. Hou about the emperor's decree today, just say that one of my daughter's families has never been to the palace, and I am afraid, if you can, can you ask her to accompany you." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ya nodded hurriedly: "Then you have to tell Mrs. Hou about your illness?" ”

"No, you don't." Chu Xi shook her head lightly; "It was originally a minor illness, so there was no need to worry Mrs. Hou."

"Yes." Green Bud bowed, hurriedly left, thought about it, and said: "Girl, Lu Tan seems to have never come back, and the slave looks at the letter she translated before in the south and seems to have translated it, but do you want to take it for you?" ”

Chu Xi thought for a while and shook her head slightly: "No need, you can go first." ”

"Yes." The green sprouts left, and the room fell silent. Chu Xi was lying on the bed, looked to the side, and began to think about Lin Qingyu, has his poison been solved at this time?

She is thinking about it, and Lin Qingyu is also missing it.

"Hurry up." Lin Qingyu said.

"It's not fast anymore, master." Lin Fu said with a dark face, it was easy to get on the official road with the carriage, he thought that he could slow it down, and he could let Lin Qingyu buy some medicine, but he refused, so he had to rush back.

"You green sandalwood girl might be in trouble now." Lin Qingyu was lying in the carriage, his face was as white as paper, but he could still smile.

Lin Fu frowned: "But your body can't bear it." ”

"Don't worry, I can still carry this little distance." Lin Qingyu smiled.

Seeing that he insisted, Lin Fu didn't say more, gritted his teeth slightly, and gave the horse running leisurely in front of him a whip, and the carriage suddenly ran up at a high speed.

Chu Ji didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and she slept for nearly a day and a night, which scared several girls in Zhujin Pavilion into tears.

When Chu Xi woke up, Lu Ya said that the imperial doctor had come to see and prescribed medicine, and now he went back to his life.

"Is there any news from the emperor?" Chu Xi felt that her spirit was much better, and Green Sprout hurriedly stepped forward: "There is no news from the emperor, the slave maid went to the Hou Mansion yesterday, and Mrs. Hou seems to be busy with something these days, but as soon as she heard that you have something, she immediately responded, and the slave didn't dare to tell her that you are sick." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi's heart fell to the ground, with Mrs. Hou here, the emperor just wanted to use himself and weigh it.

Chu Xi looked into the crowd, didn't see the green sandalwood, and asked, "Where is the green sandalwood?" ”

Green Bud gritted his teeth, and Xiao Fu'er hurriedly ran over with red eyes: "It's gone, after I separated from you yesterday, there is no trace of it now." ”

Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, and she fell in love with Zhao Xunyan.

"By the way, Miss, since yesterday, the second miss has sent people to come a few times, saying that she has something to tell you." Green Sprout wiped the corners of his eyes.

Chu Zhen thought of Xu Jin, she should have instructed Chu Zhenzhen what she didn't want to do yesterday.

"What about people now?"

"It's not here now, and somehow, the lord seems to be concerned about the eldest lady all of a sudden, and has sent a lot of people to serve him, and the second lady is also in Ruyi Garden, but she can't seem to come out." Xiao Fu'er said.

Chu Ji felt that something was wrong, looked at the room full of people, and said, "I'm fine, let's go and do our own work." Chu Xi sat up, thinking about going to see Chu Zhenzhen, maybe she could have the whereabouts of the green sandalwood, but before she got up, she heard Chu Bingsong's voice outside. After a while, a maid came in and said that Chu Bingsong wanted to see her.

Chu Xi suddenly felt that this matter was interesting, and arranged it again, so she got up and went out.

When Chu Bingsong saw her coming, he directly sent away all the subordinates around him, and when Chu Ji saw this, he also asked Xiao Fu'er and them to go out and wait.

"Father is here, but do you want to talk about what Concubine Xu said?" Chu Xi sat down on the side and poured herself tea.

Chu Bingsong sneered: "You are smart, but this cleverness is not used in the right place, but it is used to seduce the King of Freedom." ”

Chu Xi listened to the word 'seduction', and felt sarcastic in her heart, so she only smiled lightly: "Father say it directly." ”

Chu Bingsong was not annoyed when he saw her, but felt more and more that his eldest daughter was better than the others: "King Xiaoyao wants you to marry her, just on the day Zhen Zhen got married." ”

In just a few words, Chu Ji already understood the meaning: "My father doesn't want me to marry." ”

"That's right." Chu Bingsong looked at her coldly, since the emperor was open to himself because of her marriage contract with Lin Shizi. If you marry the King of Ease, aren't you looking for your own death? Besides, King Xiaoyao is ruthless and narrow-minded, he betrayed him in front of him before, how could he ignore his past suspicions, so the only way out is not in King Xiaoyao, but Chu Dai'er, who has been running around now!

"What does Father want to do?" Chu Xi asked directly.

A slight smile appeared on Chu Bingsong's face: "If you are a man, you must be my most proud son." ”

Chu Xi smiled coldly, what he thought was that if he wasn't born to Yang Pei, he would definitely be proud, but unfortunately she was not uncommon with his pride.

Seeing that Chu Xi didn't talk, Chu Bingsong snorted coldly in his heart, and then said: "When the time comes, Zhen Zhen will still marry, and you will still marry into the Anping Marquis Mansion, but there is one thing you have to listen to me." ”

"Father, please." Chu Xi said lightly.

Chu Bingsong looked at her: "Promise the emperor to enter the palace, and"

Chu Ji raised his eyes to look at him, but he smiled and said: "And take your third sister and fourth sister into the palace together, there has already been news in the palace that the draft is likely to be reopened, so"

"So my father wants them to be the emperor's concubines, but?" Chu Xi said with a smile, this routine is really exactly the same as in the previous life, but this draft is all based on the emperor's interest, he is already dying, even if he chooses the show, the chance of conceiving a dragon is very small.

Chu Bingsong sneered, as if Chu Xi hadn't guessed correctly, he only stood up: "If you can bring them into the palace and meet the emperor, I can guarantee that it will not be you who will marry into the Xiaoyao Palace, otherwise"

"Ji'er understands." Chu Xi smiled faintly, it was a response, Chu Bingsong saw this, and then he left.

Chu Xi watched him walk away, and then lazily leaned on the backrest and thought.

Go to see the queen, is it possible that the queen still has the heart to take the throne? The eldest prince is dead, and she has no heirs under her knees, but there is one thing, the queen is orthodox and a wife, and if other princes succeed to her name, they will be righteous sons-in-law. But now that the crown prince has been established, there are not many brilliant princes, most of them are still their biological mothers, and it is impossible to pass on for no reason, otherwise the queen is not at ease, so what else can be the purpose?

Chu Xi thought about it and didn't come to a result, so she didn't bother anymore, what their purpose was, she would know as soon as she entered the palace at that time. As for the green sandalwood, Zhao Xunyan will definitely send the news

Chu Xi was thinking about it, when news came from outside, saying that Yun Songyi was here, and Mrs. Jiang Shao was here again.

Chu Ji has one head and two big, what is this Young Mrs. Jiang going to do? Even if she asks for something, she should go to the prince or Jiang Fancai, and she has repeatedly come to find herself, so that she is also the second monk who is confused.

"Well, let them come in." Chu Xi said helplessly, Yun Songyi came over, there must be something, this Ning clan will pick the time.

Chu Xi was waiting in the conservatory, now that it was almost April, the weather had warmed up a lot, Zhao Xuanyi and the Yang family had done their best, and a lot of homeless people in the city had been settled.

Xiao Fu'er's voice came in from outside: "Please two of you, Miss has just recovered from a serious illness and just got up to sit." ”

Xiao Fu'er emphasized it in particular, and Ning nodded busily as he listened: "Don't worry, I understand." After that, he rushed into the greenhouse in front of Yun Songyi, and when he saw Chu Xi, he hurriedly walked up and took Chu Xi's hand affectionately: "Miss Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you have been sick for a long time and have not been able to see each other, but it's great to see you now." ”

Chu Xi looked at Ning's face, her eye sockets were swollen, the tip of her nose was red, and her face was tired, thinking that something had happened to Jiang Mansion, but what could have involved her?

Chu Xi said a few polite words, and glanced at Yun Songyi, who was sitting obediently waiting on the side, his complexion was still good, but he was a little tired, and the matter of coming to Yunfu had been resolved.

Chu Xi looked at Ning at this time: "Mother's affairs have plagued the Chu Mansion for the past two days, so you dare to come." ”

When Ning heard this, his face turned a little pale. How dare she come, wasn't she forced by Mrs. Jiang to come.

Ning smiled awkwardly: "Mrs. Chu is better?" Suffering from this catastrophe, I really suffered, and I went back to let people go to the Changle Nunnery to donate more incense, and then let those teachers and wives recite the scriptures well, and the Changle Nunnery can be effective, and I think it can still be resolved. Ning said dryly, but he didn't mention the purpose of her coming. Chu Xi was not in a hurry, and followed her words, the two talked for a long time, and Lu Ya changed the tea for the Ning family several times before she finally decided to speak.

"Miss Chu, come here this time, I really want to trouble you to raise your hand to help." Ning's is embarrassed.

Chu Xi said in her heart, she was willing to help when she raised her hand, but looking at her expression, she knew that it was not just the effort of raising her hand.

"Ji'er's ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't help too much." Chu Ji said euphemistically.

Ning Shi hurriedly said: "Where is it, this matter is difficult for others, but it is easy for you." ”

"Oh, really?" Chu Xi lightly picked up the tea cup and gently brushed the tea leaves with the tea lid, with a faint expression.

Seeing her like this, Ning Shi hurriedly said: "That's the case, the second son of the Jiang family's big house, and also my husband's younger brother, is not young now, he was originally working in Tai Academy, but because of a dispute with the students, out of resistance, he accidentally killed someone." ”

Chu Xi looked at her expression, I am afraid that she was not killed by mistake, but deliberately killed.

"The main courtyard of Tai Academy is now the Marquis of Anping, he insists on putting people in prison, but it is rare for our Jiang family to have such a good future, and it is about the prince"

"Why don't you let the prince come forward?" Chu Ji was a little funny.

Ning hesitated: "The prince is busy with official business, how can he have time to take care of such a thing." And you also know that Concubine Jiang was pregnant with a child and was unwell, so we didn't dare to tell her at all. ”

Chu Xiwaner, Jiang Fan must be on the side of the prince, but I am afraid that I don't want to get involved in this matter.

"So what is the young lady planning to do with her sister-in-law?" Chu Xi asked.

Seeing Chu Ji ask this, Ning Shi laughed, and hurriedly said: "I heard that the lady of this Hou Mansion has always loved Miss Chu, and Lin Shizi is also on the prince's side, and you have always had a close relationship with the side concubine, so I think Miss Chu can not look at the face of the side concubine and the prince." Tell Hou Ye, after all, this matter is out of trouble, and it is not good for the prince's reputation. ”

"When the second son of the Jiang family killed someone, why didn't he think about the bad reputation of the prince? What the young lady said is interesting, Sister Ji'er is still a big girl with yellow flowers, how can there be a reason to ask her future husband's family to help you get people, aren't you hurting Sister Ji'er? Yun Songyi was angry when he heard it on the side, the Yan family has always had clear rewards and punishments, so they would not release such a thing.

Ning's face was a little embarrassed when Yun Songyi said this: "We can't help it, now that the side concubine is pregnant with a child, it's not good to bother her because of this matter, and the prince is busy with official business."

"The prince is now in charge of Jingzhao Mansion and the assistant Dali Temple, this matter is also his official business, why is it inconvenient to bother with busy official business? Even if the side concubine is pregnant with a child, it is inconvenient to disturb, but Sister Ji'er has only just recovered from a serious illness, and you can also open this mouth. The more Yun Songyi spoke, the more angry he became.

Ning's palms tightened, but he secretly regretted that he shouldn't have come with her, but remembered the instructions of Mrs. Jiang and Old Lady Jiang. I had to turn my head to look at Chu Xi: "Miss Chu, I also know that it's really inappropriate to bother you with this matter, but if this matter is not done well, Lin Shizi is also responsible, isn't it?" Hou Ye has to hold on to Jiang Fu, if those who want to harm the prince have other thoughts, this will have a great impact on the prince. When the time comes, the prince will blame it, and the Marquis of Anping Mansion will inevitably have to suffer some hardships, and Miss Chu will now say a few words, and she will help the Jiang Mansion and the future in-laws."

Yun Songyi saw that she was still chattering, and she was so angry that she wanted to stand up, but Chu Xi said: "Young lady, although Chu Xi has not left the cabinet, she also knows the stakes of this matter. If I really open this mouth, it will hurt the prince and the Hou Mansion. ”

"This"

"It is true, as you said, many eyes are staring at the prince now, if the prince connived at his relatives to know the law and break the law, and now he has beaten someone to death, this matter has been stabbed in front of the emperor, does the young lady know what kind of crime it is?"

"This" Ning obviously didn't know. Chu Xi smiled lightly: "If the emperor knows, the prince will have to be punished heavily, and his reputation among the people will also fall, the young lady should know how difficult it is for the prince to accumulate his current good reputation over the years." ”

"This" Ning didn't know what to say: "But"

"Murder pays for life, Chu Xi's brother Chu Qitai is manslaughter, and now he has also paid for his life, Chu Xi has a brother case in front of him, he doesn't dare to exceed the rules, and please don't blame the young lady." Chu Ji said sincerely.

Chu Xi's words were sincere and sincere, and he also clearly stated his position, and Ning was stunned for a moment. But she won't go back so easily, this matter was not done, how could she go back and explain to the Jiang family.

Chu Xi seemed to see through her thoughts, she didn't ask herself and didn't say more, she just turned her head and talked to Yun Songyi: "Have the affairs of the Yun family been handled?" ”

"Hmm." Yun Songyi looked helpless: "The Yun family is making trouble, it is nothing more than two requirements, one is to leave Yun Songyue and Yun Kang in the Yan Mansion to raise, and then find a good family to marry in the future." The other is to resettle their family. Father's sentence was set for the autumn queen, and there was still a period of time, and they also knew that Yan Fu could not be saved no matter what, so they didn't force it. ”

Chu Xi looked at her, her clothes were much lighter, her makeup was simple, and she was tired in the past two days.

"Is Yunkang awake?" Chu Xi asked.

Yun Songyi shook his head: "I'm not awake, half-dead, but I wish he wasn't awake, it's not a good thing in itself, and if he doesn't behave properly, it's really good to die of such a scourge." ”

Yun Songyi's words didn't mean anything, but the Ning family on the side took a seat, and his face was a little red.

Chu Xi chuckled: "Your two aunts are very powerful, Yun Songyue can't make any waves even if she enters the Yan Mansion, but it's you, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry." ”

"I'm not afraid." Yun Songyi smiled: "She still dares to be angry with me in Yan Mansion, see if I don't beat her board." I don't worry about what outsiders say, but I'm afraid that the people of this Yunfu will make trouble, if my grandfather and mother know. It is inevitable that they will be upset and ruin their reputation. ”

Seeing that Yun Songyi was thoughtful, Chu Xi's smile became bigger and bigger, and the two of them talked about the whispers between their daughters, talking about what kind of hairpin came out of Ruyifang for a while, and then saying which young lady was promised to a good family, and the topic of the left and right did not turn to Ning's body for half a minute, Ning's sat awkwardly for a long time, unable to interject, and couldn't think of a way to let Chu Xi help him, so he left stupidly not long after, but said that he would come back tomorrow.

Chu Xi had a headache, and Yun Songyi hurriedly sat down: "What is Sister Xi'er doing with her so politely, just let her go." She really thinks that everyone is a fool, sacrificing herself to save the second ancestor of their family. ”

Yun Songyi's voice was not small, and the Ning family, who had not gone far, naturally heard it, his face was red and white for a while, and he was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Chu Xi looked at her naughty appearance and nodded her forehead: "You are not young, be more restrained." No one takes your words as childish anymore. Chu Xi deliberately warned her, after all, Mrs. Yan is old, and Mrs. Yun is just a woman with no power, and now that Yun Mansion has been raided again, when Mrs. Yan lets go, where can the two aunts in Yan Mansion still tolerate her, and then she can only rely on her future husband's family.

Yun Songyi pursed his lips and didn't say this anymore, but said: "My grandfather's health has suddenly been bad these days, and I've been talking about something all day long, Sister Ji'er, I'm a little worried."

Chu Xi smiled faintly, at the beginning, Elder Yan asked her to go back to ask for money, and asked her to give porridge, I am afraid that she already knows that she is not in good health.

"Don't worry."

Pale comfort is useless, but she has no other way, birth, old age, sickness and death, the laws of nature, no one can escape.

Yun Songyi raised her eyes to look at Chu Xi, hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "Mrs. Li has already sent someone to propose marriage yesterday." ”

Chu Xi was surprised at this time, and looked at Yun Songyi, who didn't seem to have much sadness: "Your grandfather agreed?" ”

Yun Songyi bit her lip slightly and lowered her eyes: "My grandfather said that only in this way will my mother and I not be bullied in the future."

Chu Xi had long known that the result would be like this, but now that she listened, she felt a little stuffy in her heart.

"I'm going down the mountain this time, Master Fang Chang asked me to give you this." Yun Songyi held back the uncomfortable emotions in her heart, and took out a letter from her sleeve to give it to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi thought of the abbot who seemed to be able to see through himself, and then looked at the letter in front of him, and his face couldn't help but become solemn.
