Ma Yushi didn't know that Chu Xi would come over, he was flipping through the classics trying to find the basis for overthrowing the ritual of sacrificing to the sky.

Mrs. Ma led them into the house, but the Ma family had no friendship with Chu Xi, and even more so with the little princess, so she took them into the living room with trepidation, served tea, and didn't know what to say.

"Mrs. Ma, we just came here to sit, the little princess is stuffy in the palace unaccompanied, I also heard that Ma Yushi has a granddaughter of the same age as the little princess, so I brought the little princess over." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Mrs. Ma hurriedly answered and asked someone to call her little granddaughter.

Chu Xi briefly looked at the Ma Mansion, as a first-class imperial history, the residence is very simple, unlike other mansions, they are all five-entry large courtyards, and the Ma Mansion is an ordinary three-entry courtyard, there are no valuable objects inside and out, not to mention carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions.

"The princess and concubine, where is the turtle king Bachi?" Yao'er timidly pulled Chu Xi's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

The face of the grandmother who came with her was a little worse, but she heard Chu Xi and said: "Mrs. Ma, I heard that Master Ma has a hobby of raising turtles, I don't know if I can let the little princess go and see the turtle?" ”

"Oh, of course." Mrs. Ma said in a loud voice, but the grandmother next to her widened her eyes, daring to love Ma Yushi really raised a turtle, but she couldn't let Chu Xi stay here like this: "Princess, have you forgotten what the emperor explained before leaving the palace?" ”

Yao'er was not happy to play, when she heard Mama's words, she suddenly stopped, flattened her mouth, with tears in her eyes, and looked at Chu Xi with a little pleading, Chu Xi glanced at the mother-in-law, and asked softly, "What did your father let you do?" ”

"The father said that Yao'er must go to the old prince's mansion, and said ......"

"Princess!" Without waiting for Yao'er to finish speaking, Mama hurriedly stopped her: "How can the emperor's words be said in front of outsiders?" Princess, didn't Mama teach you to be dignified and polite? ”

Mama tried to tear the words away, but Yao'er seemed to be frightened by her, and lowered her face and didn't dare to say more.

Mrs. Ma watched from the sidelines, and she didn't know what to say, but it just so happened that Ma Yushi had already hurried over with a robe at this time.

"The old minister has seen the little princess." Ma Yushi hurriedly saluted, but the grandmother took Yao'er's hand and stood aside, looked at him with drooping eyes and said, "Ma Yushi doesn't need to be polite, the little princess just came to take a look, now that she is here, she should leave now." ”

Yao'er turned her head and looked at Chu Yu pleadingly, Chu Xi didn't want to hurt Yao'er's heart, but raised her eyes and looked at Ma Yushi with a smile: "Master Ma." ”

"Mrs. Lin is here too." Ma Yushi took another step forward, he was convinced by Lin Qingyu and Lin Zhuyin's father and son, and naturally had a little more respect when he saw Chu Xi.

Chu Xi got up and said with a smile: "I'm just a grass man now, the little princess wants to go to the old prince's mansion, I'm afraid I can't accompany her, if Ma Yushi and Mrs. Ma have time, I don't know ......"

Yao'er looked at Chu Xi in confusion, biting her lip, thinking that Chu Xi didn't like her anymore, she twitched her nose, and big tears still rolled down.

Seeing this, Chu Xi stepped forward and squatted down, gently wiping away her tears: "What's wrong?" ”

"Does the princess and concubine Niangniang not like Yao'er anymore?" Yao'er's voice trembled slightly, Chu Xi looked at her, she was only five years old, she didn't have her mother to take care of her, Zhao Xuanyi was also busy with government affairs all day long, and the mother-in-law beside her was still a powerful person.

"Of course not." Chu Xi explained.

Yao'er wiped her tears and sobbed a few times before she said, "Then why don't you accompany Yao'er, you have to let others accompany Yao'er, Yao'er is afraid of ......"

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine." Chu Ji squeezed her hand and comforted.

Ma Yushi looked at it, and he didn't understand what was going on, but the grandmother was in a hurry, and was about to step forward and quietly pinch Yao'er to make her cry, but before she put her hand behind Yao'er, she was grasped by Mei Niang: "What is Mama going to do?" ”

Seeing that she was detected, Mama's face remained unchanged, but she was a little disdainful and pushed away Mei Niang's hand: "The slave maid naturally wants to support the princess, the princess is sad, in case she can't stand it and falls, isn't the slave and maid the protector of the master?" ”

"Then you must be careful, don't hurt the princess. If you are rough, you might as well change it. Mei Niang stood up after saying that, Chu Xi knew that there was nothing she could do, she couldn't control Zhao Xuanyi's harem, she could only try her best to help Yao'er find some backers, Ma Yushi was a right-minded and daring to speak out.

Yao'er seemed to know what the grandmother was thinking, and lowered her little head and didn't speak, not at all like the lively and active appearance she had in Chu Xi's courtyard before.

"Master Ma." Chu Xi said to Ma Yushi.

Ma Yushi hurriedly looked over: "Mrs. Lin, please speak." ”

Chu Xi looked at Yao'er, and then at the grandmother on the side, and said, "Princess Yao'er's biological mother died, and her grandfather's family also ...... I heard that the ancestors of the Jiang family and the Ma family are also somewhat related, Princess Yao'er is now unattended, if Lord Ma is free, please take care of one or two. ”

"Definitely." Ma Yushi was jealous and hateful, looking at this grandmother, he knew that her heart was dark, and she had already begun to think about it and told the emperor in her heart.

Seeing that Ma Yushi agreed, Chu Xi looked at the grandmother coldly: "Now can you take the princess to the old prince's mansion?" ”

Mama didn't know the name of this Ma Yushi, and naturally she didn't dare to play tricks in front of him, so she had to let someone pick up Yao'er, so she turned around and left, and Ma Yushi also asked people to prepare a carriage and go to the prince's mansion together.

Before they left, Mrs. Ma only sighed lightly, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Mrs. Lin, the tea is cold, or I'll go and change a cup for you." ”

"Mrs. Ma......" Chu Ji knew that she didn't want Lord Ma to get into trouble, and felt a little guilty in her heart: "It's starting to get cold this day, and when I go out today, Master Ma may not be able to suffer from the cold, if Mrs. Ma has a heart, she must take care of it, if she is sick, she can't go to court, she can't go to the court, she can't go to the fold, Mrs. Ma must pay attention." ”

Mei Niang understood what Chu Xi meant, and also said: "I heard that there is a medicinal herb called Flower Leaf Evergreen, the whole plant is poisonous, use its leaves to cook soup and take a small amount, which can make people's tongue numb and unable to make a sound temporarily, Mrs. Ma must pay attention." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma still didn't understand what the two of them meant. She clenched her handkerchief nervously, opened her mouth with a pale face, and couldn't say a word, and said after a while: "Mrs. Lin, do you still want to sit?" ”

"No, thank you for today." Chu Xi got up directly, if Mrs. Ma was bold enough to try, how could she have a way to detain Master Ma at home, but if she refused to try, it would depend on how high Zhao Xuanyi's tolerance for Ma Yushi was.

This horse Yushi braved the rain to get out of the carriage, and saw that the grandmother hurriedly ran forward with Yao'er in her arms, trotting with her robe before catching up, and when she crossed the corridor to the former prince's study, she was stunned: "What are you doing in the study?" ”

Yao'er didn't dare to speak, the grandmother put Yao'er aside, refused to hold her hand, looked at the closed door, and said timidly: "It's Master Ma who is here." ”

As soon as she said this, she heard the sound of the cup being broken inside, and she knelt down in horror.

Seeing this, Ma Yushi stepped forward with a serious face: "Is it the emperor inside?" "If it is the emperor, then he understands why Chu Xi refuses to come over even if he tries his best, but the emperor is really as rumored in the market, does Xiao want his wife.

There was no sound for a long time inside, and after a while, the door opened, and there was only a palace maid with a face, and the palace maid's eyes swept over Yao'er, who was standing timidly behind Ma Yushi, and said coldly: "The saint is not here, Princess Yao'er is back today, and the special slave maid is here to clean up." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ma Yushi knew that Zhao Xuanyi would never come out to see him, and he had no direct evidence to prove anything, but look at Yao'er, who was hiding behind him and was as big as his little granddaughter, he couldn't bear it, and turned his head to comfort: "Princess Yao'er, please rest assured, the old minister will go back and write an excerpt to play the emperor, and let him remove the Diao slave beside you!" ”

When the people in the room heard this, their heads hurt even more.

At this time, Chu Ji, holding a blue and white paper umbrella, walked forward slowly, the rain is much gentler than before, the drizzle is like silk, accompanied by the breeze blowing onto people, making people feel the coolness of early autumn.

There were still no pedestrians on the empty street, and Chu Xi walked and walked to the former Ruyi Fang. The glorious and lively Ruyi Fang in the past, the hard-to-find jewelry, is now gone, only the closed door and the cold foyer remain.

"Madame, would you like to go in and have a look?" Mei Niang asked as she walked to the side.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly, she looked at it, but she just felt emotional, things are people, the stars are changing, and the days have passed so fast.

"Are you...... The princess? ”

A childish child's voice came, Chu Xi turned his head to see that the one hiding in the alley next to Ruyi Building was not the original Jade Niang. Since Yu Niang is here, is Aunt Hong also there?

Sure enough, Yu Niang's words fell, and a woman in a blue-gray dress came out behind her, she was dressed concisely and neatly, and her charm still existed, so that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked less conspicuous, this person was Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong stepped forward and saluted Chu Xi.

"Waiting for me?" Chu Xi asked.

Aunt Hong shook her head slightly: "I was going to go to the Zheng Mansion to look for you, but I didn't know that I met you here." ”

"What?" Chu Xi was vigilant, Aunt Hong was from southern Xinjiang in the end.

Aunt Hong knew that she doubted herself, so she didn't explain much, but said, "I came here this time to tell you that something happened to Princess Tan'er." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji already knew, but with Lin Fu here, there has been no news of the death of the two, so there should be no major incident for the time being, but the people in southern Xinjiang don't know that Lin Fu is still with Lu Tan.

Seeing her so indifferent, Aunt Hong had surprise in her eyes, and then her face turned cold: "It seems that you don't want to care, then I won't delay your time here." After that, she turned her head to leave, but Mei Niang stepped forward to stop her: "What's the hurry." ”

Aunt Hong's face was slightly gloomy, and she turned her head to look at Chu Xi: "Do you want to stop me?" ”

Chu Xiwan'er, instead, leaned over to look at Yu Niang, and pointed to the door of Ruyi Fang: "Go there to play for a while, I have something to say to Aunt Hong." ”

Yu Niang nodded sensibly and trotted over.

Aunt Hong looked at Chu Xi and was puzzled: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I want to know, are you obeying the orders of the king of Southern Xinjiang, or is it green sandalwood." Chu Ji said, if she was loyal to the king of southern Xinjiang, she would have nothing to say, but if not......

Aunt Hong frowned slightly, seemed to hesitate, and after a while, she finally spoke: "I have received great grace from the queen mother before, and this time the queen mother sent me a letter and asked me to ask you for help." But the emperor is far away, and they are far away in Fanbang, so you may not have a way. ”

Chu Xi smiled lightly: "How do you know that there is no one with me by Lu Tan's side?" ”

Aunt Hong frowned: "Then what do you mean......"

"They're fine for the time being."

"Really?"

"But it's only temporary, I heard that the cliff where she overturned has been searched at the bottom of the cliff, and no body has been found, so there should be half a hope that they are still alive." Chu Ji said, looking at Aunt Hong's toes that were already facing the outside, and continued; "However, does the queen want Lu Tan to marry Fanbang? I heard that there was a conflict between Fanbang and Southern Xinjiang this time, and at this time, I married Lu Tan, and Fanbang didn't necessarily buy it. ”

"This is the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, and I can't control it." Aunt Hong frowned, she knew that Chu Xi's mind was very tortuous, so she was extremely careful to guard against it.

"In that case, what are you going to do when you ask her about her safety? If you don't die now, it won't be easy to marry Fanbang. Chu Xi turned her head and wanted to leave, but Aunt Hong stopped her in embarrassment: "I can't control so much now, and even if it is the queen's mother, she may not make other choices." ”

"In that case, then you will return to the queen's mother, and she will not die." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Aunt Hong raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were complicated: "Perhaps, the queen asked me to find you because I wanted you to help the princess think of ideas." ”

"But I can't protect myself now." Chu Xi said lightly, she can now be said to have a wolf in front of her and a tiger in the back, Qingyu is in the palace, Zhao Xuanyi is still eyeing her, and she is worried that something will happen to Zhao Xunyan.

Aunt Hong gritted her teeth slightly: "I can help you for a while." ”

"How long is a period of time?"

"How long will you take?"

"Not long." Chu Xi bent her eyes, in Mei Niang's opinion, she was really similar to Lin Qingyu: "It's only been three months." ”

"Three months?"

"That's right." Chu Ji bowed, three months is already a long time, Prince Yu will come back in half a month, and when he arrives, the situation in the capital will change again, and then take the opportunity to get out, and she will be able to take a good rest.

Chu Ji knew Aunt Hong's ability, especially after knowing that she was actually the king of Southern Xinjiang, so she knew her ability even more.

"First things first." Chu Xi said with a smile.

The corners of Aunt Hong's mouth twitched slightly, even if she didn't look for her, she would come to find her.

Chu Xi smiled with crooked eyebrows: "I want to know the movements in the capital at any time as before, especially to help me keep an eye on the people who come and go to the capital, once I find Zhao Xunyan's traces, I must tell me immediately!" "Zhao Xunyan is still obsessed with himself and Qingyu, he will not just find a place to live the rest of his life, if he can escape from southern Xinjiang and come back, he will definitely come to the capital.

"Good!"

"And ......" Chu Xi continued: "Over there in Southern Xinjiang, your men and horses will also help me keep an eye on Zhao Xunyan, and I must not let him be caught or killed by the King of Southern Xinjiang!" ”

"I am the king of southern Xinjiang......" Aunt Hong said coldly, asking her to do something to betray the king of southern Xinjiang, she couldn't do it.

A hint of cunning flashed in Chu Xi's eyes: "If you can't do it, then you have to see how much kindness the queen mother has for you." After Chu Xi finished speaking indifferently, he walked directly past her and left.

Aunt Hong looked at her departing back, but she smiled and raised the corners of her mouth, neither Lang Yueqiu nor Chu Daier could kill her at the beginning, did she really have such a powerful ability?

Back at the Zheng Mansion, Chu Xi looked at Hou at the door, frowned slightly, and Mei Niang said, "Madam, let's go back later." ”

"The capital is so big, there's no way to hide." Chu Xi sighed, if the other party was just a common person like her now, it would be fine, but on the contrary, they were all adults with great power.

Chu Xi stepped in, and at a glance saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting in the hall drinking tea, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Li Xiao was still drinking tea, but when she saw Chu Xiao appearing at the door, her hands trembled slightly. She was dressed in a cyan robe, covered with a light gauze robe, her long hair was tied behind her head with a hosta at will, the green silk hung down, and the breeze blew her clothes while walking, making her feel a little dusty, but she was biased, but those bright eyes were very indifferent.

Chu Ji stepped forward a few steps, and Xiao Fu'er hurriedly took the umbrella in her hand and whispered: "Lord Zheng and Miss Yun were both called away by Jing Zhaoyin, saying that it was because of Yunkang. ”

Chu Xi bowed lightly, and turned her head to look at Li Xiao: "I don't know if Lord Li is here, do you have any advice?" ”

"Do you have to talk to me like that?" Li Xiao looked at the seat next to him: "Sit down and talk." He still remembers that when she was in the Pavilion of Chai, she always liked to hold a teacup, and she would drink tea and speak slowly.

Chu Xi didn't have such a mood now, and stood firmly: "Master Li has something to say directly, if it is to reminisce about the past, Chu Xi will not accompany him." ”

Li Xiao listened to her words, slightly annoyed, but covered up all her anger, turned her head to look at her indifferent face, and said with a smile: "I came here this time as your cousin, and I have no other meaning." And Qingyu is in the palace, and there is no news, so I will come to report peace to you for him. ”

Hearing Lin Qingyu's news, Chu Xi's face finally moved, and she sat down on the side: "He, is he okay?" ”

Seeing that she was finally willing to speak well, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth raised: "The emperor didn't do anything to him, he just stayed in the palace to talk about tea every day." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi's heart let go, and she turned her head to look at him: "But is there anything else?" ”

Seeing that she was like this again, Li Xiao angrily put the tea cup on the table, and her tone became indifferent: "Sister! ”

"If Lord Li didn't give orders, Chu Xi would have retreated first." With Li Xiao, she really didn't know what to say. She felt very sorry for Green Sprouts, and hated that she hadn't been able to change Li Xiao's life in the end, so that he still became such a person.

She got up to leave, and Li Xiao also stood up with her, so frightened that Xiao Fu'er and Mei Niang hurriedly escorted Chu Xi.

Li Xiao glanced at Mei Niang: "The second master of Ruyi Fang, you don't open Ruyi Fang, now come to be a human girl!" ”

"Can't you?" Mei Niang said lightly, she has long since lost the charm that she could show to anyone when she was the second shopkeeper before.

Li Xiao raised the corners of his mouth coldly: "I heard that there is now a little guy who used to be a partner in Ruyifang in the prison, he can say that Ruyilou privately specializes in news trading for a living......"

"Master Li is here to investigate the case?" Chu Xi looked at Li Xiao, who had begun to get used to manipulating people with overt and covert threats, and said coldly.

Li Xiao came back to her senses abruptly and wrinkled her brows fiercely: "Xi'er, why can't you listen to me and say a good word." ”

Chu Ji looked at him: "Except for the old words, Master Li can say everything." ”

"You ——!"

"Master Li is fine, and Chu Xi will retire." Chu Ji saluted him respectfully, turned his head and left.

The person next to Li Xiao hurriedly came up and asked, "My lord, do you want to stop it?" ”

"No need." Li Xiao hesitated, looked at the back of Chu Xi leaving, but laughed: "That's it, take your time." Now she has nothing, and there will always be a time when she asks for me. You go to Jingzhao Mansion to explain, if there are witnesses who can prove that Yunkang's leg was broken by Zheng Yun, you must deal with it impartially! ”

"His leg didn't seem to be broken, it was just ...... wounded"

"Then you go and let him really break it." Li Xiao said coldly, flicked his robe, and left.

Xiao Fu'er secretly hid behind the door and watched Li Xiao leave with steps, so she hurriedly went back to report.

Chu Xi sat in the room with a headache: "Mrs. Yun is okay?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried." Xiao Fu'er said.

Chu Xi bowed slightly, looking at the sky outside, it was not early, and then said: "Wait a while, this time it is Zheng Yun's fault first, and we have no one in Jingzhao Yamen......"

"Yes." Mei Niang blinked: "Madame forgot what I used to do." ”

"That being the case, you must find a way to let Jing Zhaoyin see Li Xiao's people do it." Chu Ji said.

Mei Niang bowed her head, but Xiao Fu'er on the side was a little worried: "Miss, they protect each other, in case they die, they don't admit it......"

"It's not enough for officials to protect each other." Chu Ji shook her head slightly: "Since Li Xiao wants to do this secretly, it means that this Jing Zhaoyin is not complicit with him, and in addition to Jing Zhaoyin, if you want to come to Yunkang and Miss Wang, who can make trouble, I am afraid that Li Xiao will be so ruthless." ”

Chu Xi said, Mei Niang already understood what she meant, and looked out: "Then I'll go out and arrange it now." ”

"Okay." Before Mei Niang left, Chu Xi still advised: "Be sure to pay attention to safety!" ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Mei Niang leave, Chu Xi slowly pondered about the matter of Lu Tan, now her life and death are also related to the fate of the two countries, it is good to find a way to contact Lin Fu as soon as possible, but Qingyu must have a better arrangement.

"Little Fu'er."

"Hey." Xiao Fu'er answered, looked at the pigeon parked by the window, and wondered: "This is." ”

"Pigeon." Chu Xiwan'er and Mei Niang mostly used well-trained carrier pigeons to send news: "When you go out to buy vegetables, you help me put it, you must be careful not to let people find out." "She will definitely be found when she releases carrier pigeons in Zhengfu.

Xiao Fu'er nodded, stepped forward and grabbed the seemingly dull carrier pigeon and kicked it in the cloth bag he was carrying, and then hurriedly turned around and ran out.

As soon as Xiao Fu'er left, Chu Xi's room became extraordinarily quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

Chu Xi leaned on the side of the bed and looked at the rain that had not stopped, her mind was heavy, and she didn't know what happened to Prince Yu and his party at this time.

At this time, Prince Yu's way back to Beijing seemed to be particularly difficult. They had come from the southern border and walked for several days, but they had not yet walked fifty miles.

"Lord Wang, the carriage is broken and needs to be repaired." Another attendant came to report that the carriage had broken down several times along the way, and it seemed that Zhao Ke did not want to return to Beijing.

The people in the carriage responded lightly, and didn't say much, as if they didn't care at all, the people outside originally looked strange, the first few **** also didn't speak, and even the inn refused to stay, only after night was willing to go to the inn to rest for a while, and almost all sat in the carriage during the day and fell asleep, and now he is like this, and he doesn't feel strange. It's just that no one knows that the person sitting in the carriage at this time is no longer the real Zhao Ke.

He was now dressed in light black, riding a thousand-mile horse directly to the border, where there were Lin Zhuyin and his wife and the 100,000 elite soldiers they led.

Fanbang is also in chaos now, and the king of Fanbang listened to the report of the people below, and he was also furious: "I haven't found out if it was done by the people from southern Xinjiang?" ”

"There is no doubt that it is the people of southern Xinjiang, besides them, who will poison our people?" The people below replied.

The king of Fanbang snorted lightly: "Impossible, they are about to borrow troops from us, unless they discover our plan and rob the princess who is going to come and kiss on the way." ”

"Then what should we do, we still have cooperation with the Central Plains......"

"Those people in the Central Plains are also stupid, you write back to that Lord Li Xiao and ask him to solve this matter, otherwise the cooperation between Fanbang and them will be terminated!" King Fanbang said impatiently.

"What about the princess of Southern Xinjiang, do we still have to continue the search?" The bystander asked.

"Haven't found the body yet?" King Fanbang looked at the beauty leaning in his arms, drank all the wine in the cup proudly, and said: "Continue to search, and after you find it, bring it directly to this palace!" ”

"Yes."

The man looked at the room full of wine and meat and scantily clad beauties, turned his head and retreated.

Out of the palace gate, he looked at the people on the side, and whispered: "Return to the master immediately, the king of Fanbang may fall out with the Central Plains!" ”

"Yes!"

With that, he slowly walked out.

At this time, Lu Tan was still in the cave, pinching Lin Fu's neck with a red face, but as soon as she moved, the clothes wrapped around her body were scattered, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand to pull the clothes, Lin Fu also turned his head with a red face: "I will be responsible for you." ”

"Who put you in charge!" Lu Tan was so angry that he was about to cry, and he couldn't get dressed in a hurry, so he simply turned around and sobbed softly: "You are a guard, if you dare to say that you are responsible for me, do you know how many people will kill you!" ”

"I'll take you to the ends of the earth......"

"I don't go to the ends of the earth, I have my people to be responsible!" Green Sandalwood was so angry that she cried.

Lin Fu looked at her slightly twitching shoulders, sorted out her clothes for her, and put them on her: "It's me who is a bastard, but if you go back like this, you will definitely be wronged." Don't worry, I'm just desperate ......"

"Who wants you to fight to the death!" Lu Tan was anxious and angry, pulled his clothes and wrapped himself and stood up, staring at him with a pair of red rabbit-like eyes: "You big wood, big ice!" If you don't do it early or late, you just pick this time! ”

When Lin Fu heard this, she always felt that something didn't seem right, was she blaming herself for being late?

Lu Tan wiped his tears with a sob, stared at his face that had recovered a little blood, calmed himself down, and said: "You go back quickly, I'm fine, when I marry the king of Fanbang, just think of some way, and he will marry me, is to join forces with my father, even if he finds out, it won't be good." ”

Lin Fu frowned, if he really let the reckless King of Fanbang know, where could Lu Tan still have a good life: "No, you have to follow me!" ”

"With you?" Lu Tan raised his eyes with a smile in his eyes: "Where are we going?" Will you make me leave my people's conscience troubled for the rest of my life? Let my father and queen mother be humiliated, and let the whole world know that they have such an unruly daughter? "She heard about Lang Yueqiu since she was a child, and eloped with the person she loved, but what happened in the end? This is what she has witnessed, and she will never repeat it.

"You go back." Green Sandalwood calmed down, began to bend down and pick up the clothes on the ground, put them on one by one, and when they were dressed, they walked to the entrance of the cave. At this time, the rain has stopped, and there is a small road near here, which leads to the small village outside the mountain, and when she goes out, she will naturally be able to contact the people of Fanbang and southern Xinjiang.

Lin Fu followed behind her, feeling desperate for the first time in his heart: "Come with me." ”

Lu Tan's footsteps paused slightly, looking at the scene that seemed to have lost its color under the gray sky, and felt desolate for the first time: "I am the princess of Southern Xinjiang, you are the guard of the Hou Mansion, we will never be able to!" After that, she straightened her back, walked away, and never looked back, letting herself cry silently, shouting in her heart to stop, turn back, and throw herself into his arms to stay with him for a lifetime, but she still couldn't stop, from the time she promised to marry the king of Fanbang, she couldn't stop!

When Lin Qingyu received the letter, he stood in front of the palace gate lightly, looking at the smoke and rain in the sky with his negative hands, blinking very slowly, the world is full of hatred and hatred, love and parting, and it is always the most difficult level. However, the king of Fanbang plans to turn against the Central Plains, which is the best for Prince Yu.

He also read Chu Xi's letter, but the matter involved between Lu Tan and Lin Fu is too complicated, and he will be afraid that he will not be able to explain it for a while, it seems that he wants to see Xi Er, otherwise she will always be coerced by all sides, and she will not be able to hold it up if she is afraid.

"The emperor is invited."

A father-in-law walked behind him, turned around, and Lin Qingyu nodded: "Okay." With that, he stepped inside.

Zhao Xuanyi was in a very bad mood today, he never thought that he would condescend to see Chu Xi, she even used means to let Ma Yushi meet, and now looking at the fold handed by Ma Yushi, he was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.

Seeing Lin Qingyu coming, he suppressed some emotions and said, "Cholera in the southwest is repeated, I asked you to go to disaster relief, are you willing?" ”

Lin Qingyu raised his eyes to look at him: "The minister is now a criminal minister, and he doesn't dare to take on important positions." ”

"I can forgive your sins, you are dedicated to the people and the world, as long as you solve the cholera disaster in the southwest, I can order that the title of Marquis of Anping be returned to you." Zhao Xuanyi said, now those ministers of disaster relief in the southwest are either full of personal pockets or stupid people who can't do things, and there are only a handful of people he can use, but if he sends his henchmen over, the affairs of southern Xinjiang and the three thousand 'poisonous hands' have not been resolved, and the affairs of the capital have not been resolved, and he will not be able to do it all alone. Since Lin Qingyu is in the palace, it is definitely not difficult to go to the southwest to run errands with his ability.

However, Lin Qingyu seemed to have made up his mind: "Since the Emperor of the Marquis of Anping has been cut off, the ministers dare not ask for it to come back." As for the southwest, I also ask the emperor to forgive me, the minister is really powerless to deal with it, but Lord Li will definitely be able to deal with it. ”

"Master Li is going to help me with other things." Zhao Xuanyi saw that he refused, and his face began to turn cold.

Lin Qingyu was not afraid at all, only raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, and said with a smile: "The emperor is young and strong in the affairs of the court, and there is no situation that cannot be handled, not to mention that there are so many powerful ministers in the court." Besides, Master Li is a smart person, and he is from the southwest, so he must have more feelings for the people in the southwest, and he is more familiar with the situation over there, so such a suitable person is not needed, and the emperor wants to send a minister who is guilty and unfamiliar with the southwest, isn't it a delay for the people? ”

When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he turned his back to him, but it was because he knew that what Lin Qingyu said made sense. But Lin Qingyu repeatedly broke his selfishness, and he hated him even more!

"I command you to ......"

"If the emperor wants to arrest the minister on the charge of resisting the decree, the minister has no complaints." Lin Qingyu said respectfully.

Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he turned around and shouted, "Lin Qingyu, don't force me!" ”

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

"You know that I won't kill you, you know that I can't let Li Xiao leave now, you know that I ......" He rushed to Lin Qingyu, but looking at his indifferent eyes, he didn't continue, only sighed deeply: "You were my most powerful assistant." ”

"The minister is guilty...... "Sin shouldn't show his edge to help him, Sin shouldn't have left earlier, he was restrained by the emperor, and became his last grinding stone.

Zhao Xuanyi stared at him for a long time, and then waved his hand: "That's it, since you don't want to go, then don't go." ”

"Does the emperor have any other orders?" Lin Qingyu said.

Zhao Xuanyi's face was slightly cold: "Tomorrow, the Mongolian princess and the Mongolian mission will arrive in Beijing, and the autumn mountain hunting ground has also been arranged, and I will hold an autumn hunting party the day after tomorrow, and you and Chu Xi will participate in it together." With that, he raised his hand and told him to step back.

Lin Qingyu looked at his cold back with a complicated gaze. The eighth prince used to be such a simple and virtuous prince, but the first emperor kneaded all his sons in flesh and blood and lust for power, making him what he is today.

He walked out of this wide hall, looked at the high threshold, stepped out, the cool wind in early autumn mixed with some drizzle blowing on his face, making people much calmer and sober, this deep palace wall surrounded by things, he really didn't want to touch it at all.

Chu Xi received Lin Qingyu's reply and learned that she was about to meet, so she was a little relieved, at this time, Mei Niang had already returned, and there was a Yun Songyi beside her who had never let go of her brows.

Chu Xi asked her to sit down and poured her tea: "How is it?" ”

"Yunkang, that bastard, insisted that it was Zheng Yun who broke his leg." Yun Songyi said angrily.

Chu Ji turned her head to look at Mei Niang, Mei Niang bowed slightly: "Our people are a step late, but fortunately, we found a way to make Jing Zhaoyin notice something." It's just that Yunkang seems to have eaten iron, and he refuses to change his words even if he dies. ”

"What about Miss Wang?"

"Miss Wang Chinese New Year's Eve today, although she let Yun Kang get into trouble, but she has a lot of concubines, and she doesn't care if Yun Kang's leg is broken. In addition, Yunkang hooked up with the little widow before, and now Yunkang, who has broken his leg, is not as good as her concubine. Mei Niang looked at Xiao Fu'er, who kept whispering silently, 'The world is falling' and chuckled.

Chu Xiao frowned slightly: "In this way, then Li Xiao has already been prepared." "That's what he wants to ask himself to beg him.

"Zheng Yun was also at fault in this matter, he was not the majestic general of Na Laoshizi for a long time, and he was still going to come out, so it's okay now......" Yun Songyi was anxious and angry, and he was even more angry that he was useless and couldn't protect his family.

Chu Xi looked at her like this, and stretched out his hand to pull her: "The person is still there, what are you anxious about, even if you really break your leg, Lord Liang will deal with it impartially in your face, and the crime will not lead to death." "As long as people don't die, there is a way.

"But I'm worried about ......" Yun Songyi looked at Chu Xi: "Although he is used to it, he is very particular about it in private, how can he sleep in the cell full of cockroaches and rats and eat that prison meal." I'd love to go and bring him prison food, but, but, ......" She couldn't stop crying, but her hand touched her stomach.

Chu Xi looked at her in surprise; "You're pregnant!"

Yun Songyi nodded, Chu Xi looked at Mei Niang, and then at her: "Does he know about this?" ”

"I just found out, and I haven't had time to tell him yet." Yun Songyi grabbed Chu Xi's hand and became anxious: "Sister Xi'er, what should I do." ”

"I'll find a way, but the premise is that this matter must be kept secret, you can tell Mrs. Yun, but people other than Mrs. Yun, you must be careful at the moment." Chu Ji said, if she knew that Yun Songyi was pregnant, she would definitely be regarded as a target for blackmail.

Seeing Yun Songyi bowing her head repeatedly, Chu Xi turned her head to look at Mei Niang: "You quietly go and ask Dr. Huang to get some fetal pills back at night." ”

"Okay."

Chu Xi instructed Xiao Fu'er again: "During this time, all the stewed supplements have been brought to my house, if anyone inquires, you will say that I feel unwell." ”

Xiao Fu'er nodded hurriedly: "The slave understands that this is called Misfortune." ”

"Cultured." Mei Niang nodded Xiao Fu'er's head, but Yun Songyi looked at her worriedly: "Then ...... you?"

"I'm fine." Anyway, Li Xiao just wanted to threaten himself with some small hands and feet, so this time it was better to borrow Li Xiao's hand and send Zheng Yun and Yi'er out of the capital to the border.

Chu Xi's eyes lit up when she thought of this, and she sent Xiao Fu'er to send Yun Songyi back to rest, and then she got up and said to Mei Niang: "You go to Li Mansion and ask Mrs. Li to come over." ”

When Mei Niang heard this, she shook her head slightly: "Madam, what do you want to do." ”

"I'm going to send Yi'er away, she's pregnant now, I can't let her stay and join me on the adventure." Chu Ji said.

"But they're gone, who's going to protect you?" Mei Niang still disagreed, Chu Xi chuckled: "I can protect myself myself, and didn't Qing Yu say that the Mongolian princess is about to arrive." ”

"What do you mean ......"

"As soon as the Mongolian princess arrives, Prince Yu will also arrive soon." Chu Ji said, if such a powerful force as Mongolia really became Zhao Xuanyi's, they would really have no skills to return to the sky.
