After Li Xiao came back from Hanshan Temple, he didn't take Chu Xi's advice to heart, and went to Mr. Xun's class as usual early the next morning.

"Qitai is here too?" Li Xiao smiled happily.

Chu Qitai glanced at him with a calm face, and didn't care, Li Xiao saw that his expression was wrong, so he didn't ask much, and sat down at the desk to wait for Mr. to come over, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the gentleman, but waited for Jiao Simiao.

Before, Qin Xue asked Chu Qitai to write a letter to Jiao Simiao, asking him to keep his mouth shut, but he didn't know that Jiao Simiao would climb the pole and bluntly said that he wanted to come to Chu Mansion.

"Who is this?" Jiao Simiao looked at Li Xiao and asked.

Chu Qitai replied coldly: "Cousin Li Xiao." ”

"It turned out to be Li Gongzi." Jiao Simiao politely saluted, and Li Xiao also hurriedly returned the salute, and said in his heart that Chu Simiao was too worried, this Jiao Simiao looked like a handsome son, how could he be narrow-minded.

Jiao Simiao looked Li Xiao up and down: "Is Gongzi Li also going to participate in this Spring Exam?" ”

Li Xiao hugged his fists and smiled, and before he could speak, he was snatched by Chu Qitai: "Hmph, what exam is he going to take?" But people who have already been favored by the Eighth Emperor have secretly delivered letters to the Eighth Prince's Mansion in private, and now they are no longer ordinary candidates like us. ”

Chu Qitai's words were full of sarcasm, and by the way, he also reminded Jiao Simiao that Li Xiao is now the person of the Eighth Prince.

Jiao Simiao came back to his senses, looked at Li Xiao, said a few polite words politely, and sat down next to Chu Qitai. Chu Qitai didn't like Jiao Simiao, after all, he used vicious means to harm his sister, but he couldn't tear his face with him, so he could only find a way in secret.

Chu Qitai's expression moved, and he glanced at Li Xiao, who was sitting in front of the table and reading a book carefully and waiting for Mr. to come over, and coldly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Chu Zhen and a few people returned home, the old lady had already sunk her face, there was a fire on the mountain yesterday, and Chu Zhenzhen had already sent people to the news, saying that Chuncao was secretly provoking and using poisonous tricks to harm her and Chu Xi.

Mother Jiang was waiting for a few people at the door herself, and Mrs. Yun led Chu Xi and Yun Songyi down from the carriage, looked at the people waiting at the door, turned around and took Chu Xi's hand: "Xi'er, let's go." ”

Looking at Mrs. Yun's gentle and firm eyes, Chu Xi bowed her head slightly as if a warm stream had been injected into her heart, and followed her step in.

When Mother Jiang saw this scene, she stood on one side with her hands down, and when Mrs. Yun and the others went forward, she stepped forward to stop Chu Zhenzhen, who was following behind with an angry face: "Second Miss, where is Chuncao?" ”

"It's just a servant, what is Mother Jiang so worried about, could it be that the fourth sister specially asked you to ask?" Chu Zhenzhen said.

Mother Jiang chuckled: "It was the old lady who asked the old slave to ask, Chuncao is the girl next to the old lady, even if she is guilty, the old lady should be decided." ”

Chu Zhenzhen pursed her lips and looked at the door: "Where are my mother and brother?" ”

"The eldest lady is talking in Aunt Yanxue's courtyard, and the eldest prince is studying at this moment." Mother Jiang deliberately avoided Jiao Simiao.

Chu Zhenzhen didn't ask any more questions, and was about to go in, when she saw Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Dai'er hurrying here, and then her face turned cold: "Three sisters and four sisters." I'm not in the house, so you must be busy. ”

Chu Xiuxiu smiled with a slight disdain: "It's not very busy, it's just that there are many flower poetry clubs in Beijing, and it's a little annoying to run around." ”

Hearing her say this, Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth angrily, looked at Chu Dai'er with a gentle and bowed head, and snorted: "Sister Dai'er, you don't know that Chuncao has recruited everything." ”

"Recruited? What did you recruit? Chu Dai'er looked suspicious.

Chu Zhenzhen saw that she didn't have anything to deceive her, so she didn't say more: "You just wait for a while and cry in front of your grandmother." With that, he lifted his skirt and went to Ronghua Courtyard.

"Second sister, what's wrong?" Chu Dai'er asked Mother Jiang puzzled, and Mother Jiang smiled: "Something happened on the mountain, if the fourth lady is okay, go to the old lady and sit down." ”

"Hmm." Chu Dai'er responded obediently, and when she saw Jiang's mother leaving, she raised the corners of her lips and walked towards Ronghua Courtyard with a relaxed expression.

Before they left, Chu Qitai came out with Jiao Simiao and Li Xiao.

"Brother Chu is like this, are you sure you can ride a horse?" Jiao Simiao looked at Chu Qitai, who insisted on going out to ride a horse, and asked with a smile.

"Look down on me?" Chu Qitai snorted coldly: "If Brother Jiao is unwilling to go with me to pick up my sister, then that's it." ”

"Is the second lady really already on her way back?" Jiao Simiao didn't know that Chu Zhenzhen had returned: "Didn't she say that she would stay in the mountains for a month?" ”

"Something's wrong." Chu Qitai asked people to lead three horses out, but Li Xiao shirked and said no. Chu Qitai asked him to choose a seemingly gentle mare on the grounds of disappointment, and Chu Qitai's little maid led the horse for him.

Jiao Simiao got on the horse very neatly, Chu Qitai was carried on the horse by the guards, as for Li Xiao, looking at the horse, he was a little scared, he had never ridden a horse, and now he suddenly let him get on the horse, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"Why can't you not, cousin, shouldn't you be unwilling to go with a talented person like us because you were favored by the Eighth Prince." Chu Qitai said.

Jiao Simiao glanced at Chu Qitai, who was deliberately provocative, with a gloomy expression, but the look in his eyes at Li Xiao was really not good: "Li Gongzi, there are more people who are better educated than you, you can't be so arrogant." ”

Li Xiao's face turned red with embarrassment: "I didn't mean that, it's just that I really haven't ridden this horse."

"That's it, if you don't ride, you won't ride." Jiao Simiao snorted coldly, grabbed the reins, turned his head and left. Chu Qitai looked at Li Xiaozhi and shook his head: "Cousin, I dare to ride a horse with a dead leg, what are you afraid of." With that, he rode away on horseback.

Li Xiao thought about it, and just wanted to turn over and get on the horse, but Mrs. Li heard the news and hurried over: "Xiao'er, you don't study, what are you doing here!" ”

"Mother, I" Li Xiao wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.

Mrs. Li glanced at Chu Qitai's people who had not yet left, and snorted: "He knows that he will take you to the crooked and evil path, if you don't learn well at all, you will soon have a spring season, you actually don't go to study, and you are still riding a horse here, what if you lose a leg like him?" ”

Li Xiao lowered his face and did not speak, letting him reprimand.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li only felt that a punch had hit the cotton: "Forget it, let me go back to study, before the Spring Festival, I am not allowed to go anywhere except studying." ”

"Yes." Li Xiao looked at the direction Chu Qitai and they left, turned around and went home.

Chu Qitai ran forward for a while, and then noticed that Li Xiao didn't follow, so he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he didn't have the heart to chase further, so he only sent someone to stop Jiao Simiao, saying that someone came to report that Chu Zhenzhen and the others had returned home.

Jiao Simiao looked disappointed at him, he didn't know his purpose, he was planning to use himself to harm the arrogant Li Xiao.

Jiao Simiao sneered, those who dare to use him will not have good results.

"Brother Chu, shall we go back to the house then?" Jiao Simiao led the horse over.

Chu Qitai didn't pay much attention to him, nodded and turned the horse's head, but Jiao Simiao's face darkened and he laughed gloomily.

Chu Qitai rode all the way and galloped wildly, not noticing the abnormality of Jiao Simiao behind him.

Jiao Simiao looked at the silver needle in his hand and stayed in the crowded market. Riding a horse to catch up with Chu Qitai: "Brother Chu, your speed is too slow, didn't you break your leg and dare not ride fast?" ”

Chu Qitai sneered: "Brother Jiao, don't underestimate people!" With that, he was about to speed up with a whip of the horse, but Jiao Simiao took the opportunity to stab the poisonous needle into the horse, and the horse was in pain, raised his hooves and kicked away the pedestrians in front of him, and began to run wildly.

The old lady didn't know what was going on outside, and looked at Mrs. Yun who was sitting in front of her, her face sank: "Zhenzhen, tell me about it, what's going on?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen told everything about that night, but only said that Chuncao deliberately guided her to set the fire, and said that she didn't know about finding two men to frame Chu Xi, and it was all arranged by Chuncao.

Mrs. Yun sat on one side and didn't speak, only drank the tea slowly, it didn't seem that she was here to participate in this matter, but she didn't leave, and everyone could see that she was here to support Chu Xi.

"Listen to the meaning of the second sister, but it was the grandmother who instructed someone to harm the eldest sister?" Chu Xiuxiu said.

"You talk nonsense, I know it, I don't mean that!" Chu Zhenzhen retorted angrily, looking at her with a gloating look, so angry that she wanted to tear her up.

"Alright, let Chuncao come up and see who instructed. She has no grudges with the big girl, and she will never take the initiative to do such a thing. The old lady spoke.

Chu Zhenzhen endured this breath and asked people to bring the spring grass up.

When Chuncao was brought up, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she was covered in wounds, and the blood stains had seeped through her clothes and came outside.

Bai Xue exclaimed, and Mother Jiang frowned.

Chu Zhenzhen glanced at her, a little strange, she clearly didn't order to beat her, how could she be so seriously injured? Before Chu Zhenzhen could figure it out, Chuncao spoke by herself: "Old lady, save me, I was wronged." ”

"Wronged? Where did I wronged you, it's clearly you" Chu Zhenzhen retorted angrily, but was stopped by the old lady: "Okay." The old lady glanced at her dissatisfied, then looked at the spring grass trembling on her knees, and said, "Bai Xue, take a robe for her first, so as not to freeze to death." ”

Chu Zhen sat quietly on the side, looking at such a scene, she knew that Chu Zhenzhen was trapped again.

Looking up at Chu Dai'er, who was sitting opposite quietly holding a teacup, Chu Xi seemed to be more and more aware of where the hidden black hand in this mansion was, and since it had come out, it would be easy to do.

Bai Xue gently covered Chuncao's body, and Chuncao frowned in pain. Bai Xue grew up with her, and naturally she has a deep sisterhood, and she can't help but feel distressed with tears in her eyes when she sees this.

The old lady looked at all this and asked, "You said that you were wronged, wasn't it you who went to report the news at night?" Aren't you the one who took those two people to the government in the name of being escorted to the government? ”

Chuncao raised her head, opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and everyone present was startled, but Chu Dai'er lowered her eyes lightly, and there was no change in her expression.

Chuncao raised her eyes weakly and looked at the old lady: "Old lady, if it weren't for the mother-in-law in the house watching, the slave and maid would not be able to come back and shout this injustice." The slave and maid knew that they were now speechless, but the second lady not only slandered the slave and maid to harm the eldest lady, but also slandered the slave and maid at the behest of the fourth lady. The slave and maid are cheap lives, thanks to the old lady's care for so many years, Chuncao will go here, don't embarrass the old lady! "If you say that, you will bite your tongue and kill yourself.

The old lady turned pale: "Don't ----! ”

Yun Songyi's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward to remove Chuncao's chin.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yun sighed softly and pulled Yun Songyi up: "There are many disturbances today, since I have also sent my sister-in-law back, I won't bother more." ”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Thank you, Mrs. Yun." ”

Mrs. Yun bowed slightly, and turned her head to look at Chu Xi: "Xi'er, give me a paragraph." ”

Chu Zhen bowed her head and glanced at the spring grass on the ground with only half a life left and the frightened Chu Zhenzhen, although Chu Zhenzhen was not stupid. The means are also ruthless, but after all, she is not able to defeat this kind of person who can even be ruthless to herself, and today she is afraid that stealing chickens will not be successful.

When Mrs. Yun walked out of Ronghua Courtyard, Mrs. Yun took her hand worriedly: "Why don't you go to my house to live for a while?" ”

Chu Ji knew that they had good intentions, but she only shook her head: "No." ”

"Why, if you go to Yan Mansion, it will definitely not be like this." Yun Songyi also said.

Chu Xi chuckled: "This is where I should be, this is my home." "She's just an outsider wherever she goes, and she still has unfinished business in this house.

Mrs. Yun looked at Chu Xi, looked at her firm and indifferent eyes, and suddenly understood something: "When will you go to Yang's house for a walk?" My mother and I have met a few times before, she is warm and kind, but unfortunately I didn't get to know her much, "Mrs. Yun won't mention it more."

Chu Xiwan'er: "When these days pass, I will go to Yan's Mansion to visit Mrs. ”

Mrs. Yun didn't say much more when she had a decision in her heart, and only told her before leaving: "Although the people of the Yan Mansion disdain to use some inferior means, after all, it is a century-old family, with deep roots, and ordinary people can't move. If anything is wrong with you, come to me. ”

Chu Ji bowed her head and stood at the door watching their carriage disappear around the corner, only then did she restrain all the warmth on her face and turn around and go to Ronghua Courtyard.

In the carriage, Yun Songyi took Mrs. Yun's hand: "Mother, why are the brothers and sisters in the Prime Minister's Mansion so vicious?" ”

Mrs. Yun smiled and patted her hand: "Yi'er, you will be back to Yunfu in a short time, it is also a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones, you have to be more careful, if you don't want to ask your mother and relatives in case of trouble, ask your sister more." "The old lady of Yunfu killed her concubine in one sentence because of the cannibal son, which shows that she is vicious and ruthless, her Yi'er has no scheming since she was a child, and she doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse when she goes back this time. But Chu Xi is an extremely smart and means-means person, and it can be seen that she treats Yi'er sincerely, and only hopes that she can help Yi'er at a critical moment.

Yun Songyi bowed: "I know, Sister Ji'er taught me before" Yun Songyi hurriedly stopped talking. almost said that she leaked, but her mother didn't want to make trouble so much that she couldn't get married: "Sister Ji'er treats me really well, and she is smart, I will look for her if there is something." ”

Mrs. Yun sighed, held all her worries in her heart, looked at Yun Songyi, smiled gently, and said no more.

When Chu Zhen returned to Ronghua Courtyard, she had already seen Chu Zhenzhen kneeling on the ground, her face white and trembling. Chu Zhen looked around, it seemed that Qin Xue and Chu Qitai were not seen when she came back today, and now Chu Zhenzhen was like this and there was no sign of the two of them, could it be that something happened?

Chu Xi sat down on the side, and heard the old lady say: "Big girl, tell me, Zhen Zhen almost set fire to you, and she is ready to frame you, how do you want me to punish her?" ”

When Chu Xi heard this, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, this old lady. If you don't want to be this wicked person, do you have to do it yourself?

"My grandmother listens to her." Chu Ji got up and curtched.

The old lady stared at Chu Zhen for a long time, and when she saw that she didn't say anything more, she turned her head to stare at Chu Zhenzhen: "In this case, then you can twist your hair and go to the family temple to be a sister-in-law." ”

Chu Zhenzhen stared at the old lady violently: "Grandmother" If she goes to the family temple, her life will be over, she will marry the King of Xiaoyao, become the princess of Xiaoyao, and enjoy the glory and wealth!

The old lady waved her hand, as if unwilling to say more. Chu Xi looked at her lightly, she was not very willing to let her go to the family temple like this, if she spent her life in the family temple peacefully, how could she be worthy of the evil she had done in her previous life!

"I seem to remember, last night the Void Master also saw what happened, if the second sister is unwilling, why don't you ask someone to ask the Void Master to see if the two of them were deliberately arranged, or did the disciple run in over the wall by himself?" Chu Ji said.

Chu Zhenzhen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the old lady: "Grandmother, I really didn't plan to burn the eldest sister, and I didn't arrange those two men, or you can ask the Void Master"

The old lady looked at Chu Zhen complicatedly, she would not send someone to disturb the abbot of Xuyin again, but what she meant by this was that she wanted to let Chu Zhenzhen go?

Also puzzled was Chu Dai'er looking at her, Chu Zhenzhen begged, and before the old lady could make a decision, a little girl outside ran in crying with snot and tears on her face: "Old, old lady, it's not good." ”

"What's wrong?" The old lady's face turned slightly pale.

The little guy sobbed for a long time before he looked at the old lady: "The eldest prince was riding a horse on the street and kicked someone to death." ”

The old lady gritted her teeth: "Death is death, let the master go to the official mansion to say hello, you deserve to cry like this?" ”

The little guy hurriedly shook his head, and wiped his tears from his sleeve: "The person who the eldest prince kicked to death is the little son of the Jingzhao Yin family." ”

Chu Xi also frowned, and the old lady almost didn't take a breath: "Does the master know about this?" ”

Mother Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for the old lady, and the little maid bowed: "Not yet, the old man is not in the house." ”

"Then you don't want people to go to the courtesy, why are you crying here with me!" The old lady almost roared. When the little guy heard this, he nodded and ran out.

The old lady grabbed Jiang's mother's hand: "Let's go, follow me to have a look"

The old lady stood up slowly, and before she walked out of the door, she saw someone running over: "Old lady, something is wrong." ”

"What's going on again!" The old lady was so angry that she only slapped the table.

The mother-in-law trembled with a white face: "Brother Hong'er was poisoned, and now he is unconscious, and the doctor said that he is afraid that he is worried about his life." ”

The old lady breathed for a while, only to feel like a knife was piercing her heart, and she didn't catch her breath, and fell straight backwards.

The people in the room suddenly made a mess, Chu Xi looked at Chu Dai'er who was slowly getting up with a calm demeanor, and the corners of her mouth were hooked, this fourth sister is really a superb means.

After settling the old lady, Chu Xi waited for her to leave.

Chu Xi went directly to his own pavilion, and Lu Tan followed behind Chu Xi and whispered, "Miss, someone has been following us." ”

Chu Xi responded lightly. stopped, turned his head and looked at Chu Dai'er who was walking slowly.

"Big sister." Chu Dai'er saluted softly.

"Won't the fourth sister go back to celebrate first?" Chu Xi chuckled, thinking that Chu Dai'er would defend herself or pretend to be innocent, but she didn't think she would laugh directly: "It's not the time yet, after all, everything has just begun, isn't it?" ”

Seeing this, Chu Xi's smile became bigger and bigger, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes: "The fourth sister is really amazing, but you and I are not fellow travelers, if you are redundant, the fourth sister can be put away." Chu Ji was about to walk away, but Chu Daier stepped forward and stopped her: "Big sister thinks I'm amazing, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"What do you think?" The corners of Chu Xi's mouth were indifferent, and she stood there as if there was a coercion pressing down, Chu Dai'er looked straight at Chu Xi, who was only a little taller than herself: "Big sister, I really don't understand?" ”

"What does the fourth sister think I should understand?" Chu Xi chuckled.

"Dai'er hopes that the eldest sister will stay away from Lin Shizi in the future, you should be the one who is going to marry into the Eighth Prince's Mansion, such glory and wealth, it is impossible for the eldest sister not to be tempted." Chu Daier said. She knew that Lin Qingyu liked Chu Xi, and she knew it from the first time she met him. His eyes when he looked at Chu Xi were gentle to the bottom of his heart, unlike them, who were always covered with a thick layer of fog, which made people unable to see through, but on the contrary, she liked that kind of person so much.

The corners of Chu Ji's mouth hooked up a little evil: "I just like his inaction." Seeing that anger finally appeared on Chu Dai'er's disguised and unchanged face, Chu Xi was a little surprised in her heart. She deliberately provoked Chu Dai'er, but she didn't expect that she really liked Lin Qingyu.

Chu Zhen left directly, Chu Dai'er in her previous life must have played a well-behaved, obedient and resourceful role behind Chu Zhenzhen, otherwise how could she be loved by someone like King Xiaoyao in her previous life and become the mother of a country

Chu Xi looked at everything in front of him indifferently, one day, it will be slaughtered!

Chu Dai'er looked at Chu Xi's back, and her eyes were like a flame burning with hatred. But a deep boudoir woman, should she really be able to fight herself!

After Li Xiao heard about Chu Qitai. I was afraid to sweat, although I wasn't sure if it was man-made, but if he went, maybe it would be himself who did such a thing.

Thinking like this, Li Xiao put down the book in his hand and wanted to see Chu Xi, but when he arrived at the door of Zhujin Pavilion, he was stopped by someone who was waiting at the door: "Cousin." Green Shoots saluted.

Li Xiao politely helped her up, not noticing a flush on Lu Ya's face.

"Where's your young lady?" Li Xiao asked.

Green Sprouts hurriedly lowered her head: "Miss ordered, I won't see any guests today." ”

Li Xiao was slightly stunned: "Did the eldest sister know that I was coming, so she specially asked you to wait here?" ”

Green Bud bowed slightly, looking at the dark blue brocade in front of him, the man wearing a pair of brocade boots, he stood in front of him at close range, gentle and elegant.

Li Xiao smiled and sighed: "The wisdom of the eldest sister is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

"The young lady also asked the slave to tell the son, now that the spring is approaching, the son can ignore the things outside the window, and only read the sage books." Green Bud raised his eyes and looked at the handsome and elegant boy in front of him with a full gaze.

Li Xiao nodded, and the smile on her lips became bigger and bigger: "Thank you eldest sister for reminding me, I'll go back." Li Xiao turned his head and prepared to leave in a hurry. Seeing that the green sprouts hadn't left yet, he asked, "Do you still have anyone to wait?" ”

Green Sprout bowed slightly, Li Xiao smiled and stepped forward and handed her the paper umbrella in her hand: "Take it, this snow hasn't stopped, you are careful of the wind and cold." "Be careful that you can't serve your nephew when you're sick. Li Xiao didn't say the last sentence, looked at the green sprouts' eyes, only thought she was grateful, smiled shyly, stuffed the umbrella into her hand and turned away.

Green Sprout held the umbrella, looking at the departing figure, only felt that the whole person was like a dream, only waiting for Li Xiao to go away, Green Sprout came back to his senses, looking at the umbrella in his hand, his face was slightly red.

Not long after, someone came over again, and when Lu Ya saw her, she restrained her emotions and stepped forward to salute: "Aunt Yanxue." ”

Aunt Yanxue's eyes were red and swollen. Obviously cried: "I want to see your eldest lady." ”

"The girl has ordered, my body is inconvenient today, and I don't see the guests, so I ask my aunt to forgive me." Green Sprout Road.

Yanxue grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, did she find it?

Seeing that Green Sprout seemed to be waiting at the door for a long time, she should have expected that she would come.

Yanxue gritted her teeth: "You go and talk to your young lady, just say that she doesn't see me, and I won't leave." ”

"This" Green Sprout was a little embarrassed, but seeing that she had made up her mind, she just waited: "Then you wait, the slave will go and reply." ”

In the house, Chu Xi sat on the warm couch, Lu Tan had already made warm tea, and he pulled Xiao Fu'er to sit around the charcoal brazier, and Chunzhi stood respectfully in front of Chu Xi.

"Are you sure that the food that Brother Hong ate today was brought by the eldest lady?" Chu Xi asked lightly.

"Yes, the slave saw it with her own eyes." Harue replied.

Chu Xi bowed slightly, Brother Hong was poisoned, Yan Xue said that Qin Xue wanted to poison Brother Hong, but even if Qin Xue really wanted to kill Brother Hong. She wouldn't have chosen such a blatant approach, she wasn't so stupid.

"Little Fu'er." Chu Xi called.

"Hey." Xiao Fu'er hurriedly got up, patted his clothes and hurriedly walked over: "What do you have to say, Miss?" ”

"Have you asked the kitchen about all the food?"

"Yes." Xiao Fu'er opened her apricot eyes and said: "The food is all made in the big kitchen, and those foods are all ordinary food, and the eldest lady specially explained the pastries, not even soup." ”

"That means that even if you want to poison it, it's inconvenient?" Chu Xi asked again.

Xiao Fu'er bowed her head, Chu Xi closed her eyes with a headache, and Lu Ya also came in at this time to reply to Aunt Yanxue's words.

"Miss, you said that this Brother Hong'er was poisoned, was it the hand of the eldest lady? I don't think the eldest lady is so stupid, but when people are in a hurry, there may be omissions. Green Sandalwood leaned over mysteriously and said.

Lu Ya looked at her with a smile: "Why don't you go to the government to get an errand, wear a man's clothes, and make sure that people only think he is a handsome boy." ”

Lu Tan glared at Lu Ya: "If I go, I don't know how many little girls I will charm." ”

Xiao Fu'er remembered what happened last time, blushed, snorted and sat down with a pestle in front of the brazier. Wu was angry and went.

Green sandalwood looked left and right, raised his eyebrows and said no more.

Green Bud chuckled: "Look, offend people." ”

Lu Tan pouted: "I don't blame you yet, which pot is not opened." ”

Lu Ya didn't argue anymore, and only asked, "Miss, what about Aunt Yanxue?" ”

Chu Xi exhaled softly: "Let her in." ”

Green Sprouts answered and went out, but Chunzhi looked at the laughing few people with envy in his eyes. Chu Xi is a master without a fight, the rules are strict, but as long as she doesn't break the rules, she is playful, laughing and scolding, and she is fine. If you just say that Green Sprout is like her, after all, she has been serving since she was a child, but Lu Tan and Xiao Fu'er, who came with her, are also like this now, but they are themselves, as if they were left out in the cold, and no one cares.

After a short time, Yanxue came in, and Chu Xi asked the four of them to retreat, leaving only Yanxue in the house.

"What else are you going to do?" Chu Xi said directly.

Yanxue bit her lip slightly: "You know everything?" ”

Chu Xi's eyes were a little cold when she looked at her: "I remember telling you, don't fight with Brother Hong, he is not young, and he can already remember." ”

Yan Xue lowered her head and wept, it was not that she had no feelings for Brother Hong during this time, but as soon as she saw Qin Xue and thought of the dead Wang Gui, she felt bitter in her heart, and she couldn't bear it for a moment.

"After I saw your letter that night, I knew that Qin Xue would move, so I thought of poisoning, but I didn't know that the poison was so heavy, I only planned to let Brother Hong'er have a little reaction, but I didn't want to pass out." Smoke and snow choked.

Chu Xi was a little angry: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, how can you not understand this truth." If Brother Hong really has a bad idea, and then let the old lady find out, not only will you suffer, but even Brother Hong will hate you. ”

Yan Xue became more and more flustered in her heart: "I know it's wrong, eldest lady, you must save me and save Brother Hong." ”

Chu Xi looked at the chaotic Yanxue: "How could you be wrong with that medicine?" ”

"I don't know that Wang Gui left it for me to keep in reserve. He said he wouldn't die, so I only dropped a little bit. "Smoke and snow tracks.

Chu Xi's eyes turned lightly: "Go check the maid ring in your courtyard." ”

"Is it possible" Yan Xue was stunned, Chu Xi only said: "I just suspect that someone in the mansion wants to borrow our hands to do something." Chu Ji thought about it, and suddenly laughed: "After going back this time, I only took care of Brother Hong wholeheartedly, locked up the yard and checked the girl in your yard day and night, if you find it, you don't need to tell the old lady, just ask who is behind the scenes, and you can dispose of it yourself after asking, but you can't stay in the courtyard anymore." ”

"I know, I'll do it." Yanxue felt a little more relieved when she got Chu Xi's words, and she got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chu Xi: "Don't go on a business trip again this time." ”

Yanxue looked at Chu Xi's slightly warning eyes, gritted her teeth slightly, and replied: "I understand, even if it is for Wang Gui, I will not be reckless." ”

"It's good that you understand, in addition to being careful of Qin Xue's mother and daughter during this time, you must also be extra careful of Chu Dai'er." Chu Ji said, although everyone may not believe that an obscure and weak young lady like Chu Daier is such a vicious person, it should still be reminded.

Yanxue opened her mouth in surprise, saw Chu Xi bowing her head to drink tea, answered, turned around and hurried away.

After Yanxue left, Chu Xi called Chunzhi in.

"What do you command?" Chunzhi said, slightly excited in his heart, after all, there are some things that Miss can only do by herself.

"In the past two days, you should go to the old lady's courtyard and ask about Brother Hong'er." Chu Ji said, now that the house is in chaos, Chu Qitai has caused a big disaster.

Chunzhi pursed her lips slightly, hesitating, Chu Xi raised her eyes to look at her: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Chunzhi bit her lip slightly: "Miss, do you believe in slaves?" ”

"I don't believe you." Chu Ji said, seeing her expression change slightly, she chuckled: "But I'm willing to try to believe you." "If she never cowers and can't take this step, she has no one to use. Green sandalwood is like this, Xiaofuer is like this, and today's spring branches are the same, only if you use it first can you know if it is reliable.

Chunzhi bowed slightly: "Miss don't worry." With that, he turned his head and stepped back.

After everyone left, Chu Xi lay lazily on the warm couch, raised his hand, and looked at the purple jade with white tassels in his hand, his eyes were deep. Lin Qingyu, why are you following me like this?

Hearing the absurd things that happened in the Chu Mansion, Zhao Xunyan, the king of leisure, laughed sarcastically, looked at Jiao Simiao who was kneeling in front of him, and his phoenix eyes turned slightly: "Chu Qitai, do you know that it was you who did it?" ”

Jiao Simiao hurriedly shook his head: "He was arrested and put in prison, but the horse was also taken away by the people of the government, and there are poisonous needles on it, I'm afraid"

"Afraid?" Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly: "Now I know that I am afraid, if it is not Jing Zhaoyin's son who died this time, you will not be afraid." ”

"Didn't the prince say that you should do things by any means," Jiao Simiao argued.

Zhao Xunyan's smile became bigger and bigger: "The premise of not compromising means is to have brains. ”

"That prince, this matter" Jiao Simiao raised his head anxiously, but saw the sarcasm in Zhao Xunyan's eyes: "Mr. Jiao is an upright person and only uses yang schemes, but the son who can be born is evil and only willing to use conspiracy." ”

Jiao Simiao didn't dare to say more, and his drooping eyes were full of poison.

Zhao Xunyan didn't know what he was thinking, and raised his hand gently: "I will take you out, but from now on, you don't have to spend all day outside to do things." ”

Jiao Simiao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Zhao Xunyan raised his hand and let him retreat, but the guards on the side were a little worried: "Lord Wang, this person's heart is not right, and his subordinates are worried that one day this poisonous snake will not recognize its master." ”

"As long as this poisonous snake can do things now, if he dares to talk back in the future, he will cut it with a knife. And such a person is best controlled, and this person is extremely insidious and vicious, and extremely smart, if he can use it well. It's much stronger than the big prince's tricks. Zhao Xunyan looked at the green dragon envoy waist card sent back by Ruyi Fang in his hand, and said lightly.

"Then Mr. Jiao wants to inform me about this?" The squire asked.

Zhao Xunyan shook his head slightly: "No need, you can do this." "Chu Mansion has always intended to cling to the Xiaoyao Mansion and the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and Chu Bingsong thought about stepping on two boats like this.

"Tell me to go down, and no one from the Chu Mansion will be seen." Zhao Xunyan commanded directly.

"Aren't you worried that Prime Minister Chu will simply take refuge in the Eighth Prince?" The bystander asked.

Zhao Xunyan sneered, Danfeng's eyes were full of killing intent: "He doesn't have the guts." ”

As he was talking, the voice of the eldest prince Zhao You suddenly came from outside: "Little Uncle Huang! ”

Zhao Xunyan frowned slightly, put away the token, and raised his hand to let the black-clothed people on both sides retreat, which made people open the door.

"Why are you so anxious?" Zhao Xunyan lifted the ink pen in his hand and continued to draw his paintings.

Zhao You walked over, glanced at the landscape painting painted by Zhao Xunyan, and sneered in his heart: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the Marquis of Anping, who doesn't care about the world, entered the palace early this morning to meet his father." ”

Zhao Xunyan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Doing an errand for the son of the Lin family?" Thinking of Lin Qingyu who he had seen in Hanshan Temple, Zhao Xunyan's eyes were slightly cold, but he smiled.

Zhao You waved his hand and sat down on the stool on the side: "Where is he asking for an errand, he is asking for a kiss." ”

"Asking for a kiss?"

"No, this kid is good, he fell in love with the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly, and directly asked the Hou Ye to enter the palace to ask for a kiss. This father is too, the two of them talked behind closed doors, and Concubine Su had to wait at the door and couldn't go in. Zhao You said sarcastically: "This Su Guifei is really charming, but I don't know what kind of fun she is going to have." ”

Zhao Xunyan thought of Chu Xi's cold eyes with a little hatred, the people of Wuji Pavilion had a relationship with her, and now there was a prince of Anping Hou who didn't care about the world. The eighth child asked Su Guifei to go over, I am afraid that she is also interested in that girl.

This Chu Xi, it's really not simple, isn't it the reincarnation of the fox spirit?

Zhao Xunyan sneered: "An unfavored woman, if he likes it, he will take it, just to pry them out of the shell of 'not asking about the court', I see how long Anpinghou can pretend." ”

"Whatever the girl? Didn't you say you wanted me to marry her? Zhao You asked.

"What's wrong with the queen's mother, is there still no response to the matter of the fourth lady of Nachu Mansion?" Zhao Xunyan said.

Zhao You was angry when he mentioned this: "He Chu Bingsong really treats himself as a green onion, I think he just wants to tie up the eighth child, otherwise why would he not even mention it?" Hmph, old thing, this time I heard that his son had an accident, you and I won't help him, I'll see what happens to him! ”

"Okay, listen to you." Zhao Xunyan said good-naturedly.

When Zhao You heard this, his heart was even more peaceful: "I just said that General Zheng Yun misunderstood, how could you send someone to assassinate him, Uncle Xiaohuang is from my side, right." Zhao You looked at Zhao Xunyan, who was dedicated to painting in front of him, viciously.

Zhao Xunyan put down the ink pen in his hand and said with a smile: "As long as the eldest prince ascends to the high position, he still remembers the promise." ”

"Uncle Xiaohuang, don't worry, your mother was killed back then, and I will avenge her grievances." Zhao You responded, but Zhao Xunyan just smiled, the person who killed his mother and concubine in front of him back then, Zhao You would never be able to punish him in his life, so he would revenge this revenge himself.

In the palace at this moment, a little eunuch was hunched over and running quickly in the narrow corridor. When he saw the golden hall not far ahead, he slowed down a little and slowly walked forward.

Said a few words to the palace maid who was guarding the palace, the palace maid responded, turned her head and went in, and after a while, she saw a woman wearing a dark green luxurious palace robe walked out of it, the woman was about forty years old, but she looked like she was only in her thirties, she was extremely bright, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all amorous, but she was very naïve and noble, so that people did not dare to blaspheme easily.

"The slave has seen the concubine." The eunuch hurriedly saluted.

Su Guifei looked at him lightly: "What's so urgent?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward: "It's the eighth master's message, the eighth master said that the mother must not let the emperor give this marriage, if the mother has no way, and must delay it for half an hour, the eighth master will arrive later." ”

Concubine Su looked at him coldly: "Could it be that Yi'er is tempted by the girl of the Chu family?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, the eighth master said that this matter is very important, please ask the mother to help." The little eunuch said.

Su Guifei lightly touched the gold bracelet on her wrist: "This palace knows." With that, he turned his head and went inside.

In the room, a man in a bright yellow robe was holding a black chess piece: "Qingyu came back and didn't say that he came to the palace to see me, he should be punished." ”

An Pinghou was dressed in navy blue clothes, and his face was vaguely handsome, but now he is very peaceful, sitting opposite the emperor and smiling: "He has always been stubborn, the emperor forgives me." ”

The emperor raised his eyes to look at the person opposite, and his eyes moved slightly: "Why didn't he come to this marriage by himself?" ”

"It's already been such a twist and turn for the minister, he came by himself, and I'm afraid he won't be able to marry the girl he likes." An Pinghou said with a smile.

The emperor also laughed, but the old eunuch beside the emperor walked in from outside and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Su said that she also wants to tell you about the eldest lady of the Chu family." ”

The emperor's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the sunspot in his hand fell, and a piece of Anpinghou's white was eaten clean: "How is it, is it still me?" ”

"The emperor is still as far-sighted as before." An Pinghou stood up and made a gesture.

The emperor glanced at him: "It is you who are far-sighted, you ran away as soon as the war was over, and now my son is willing to come back to see me when he has a girl he likes." The emperor set aside the eunuch who had replied.

Marquis Anping smiled, and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "I won't go around in circles with you today, so I will ask you to let Qingyu enter the court to receive errands, should you or not?" ”

"If not, won't this young lady of the Chu family be able to marry?" An Pinghou asked.

The emperor laughed, and when he had laughed enough, he looked at An Pinghou: "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Su"

The emperor looked at Marquis Anping, who bowed down and didn't speak, and smiled lightly: "Let her in." ”
