When Chu Ji woke up, there was a bright yellow tent in front of her, and the one standing next to her was also a palace maid.

She quickly recalled what happened before she fainted, sat up suddenly, and the grandmother who was waiting on the side saw it and hurriedly walked over: "The princess is awake?" ”

"Where is this?"

"Don't worry, this is the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor has ordered, as soon as you wake up, you will go to the palace to say goodbye." Mama said patiently.

Chu Xi stood up: "Then go now." ”

Seeing her anxious appearance, Mama laughed: "Don't worry, princess, go to see the emperor, you still have to pay attention to your manners." After that, he looked at the palace maids around him, and the palace maids immediately hugged him: "The princess, please." ”

Chu Xi's face was slightly gloomy, and they pulled him to sit in front of the dresser and began to pout, and after a while, he stopped moving.

"The princess is really a rare beauty, no wonder the prince wants to hold you in the palm of his hand when he dies." The grandmother laughed.

When Chu Xi heard the word 'death', her heart shrunk into a ball, and she hurriedly grabbed the grandmother: "How is he?" ”

"Don't worry, you're fine, and the prince will be fine." Mama patted her hand gently, and when she finished dressing up, she respectfully retreated to the side: "Princess, please." ”

Seeing that she didn't want to reveal anything, Chu Xi had to get up and go to the main courtyard of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Gonggong Gao was waiting in front of the palace gate early in the morning, and when he saw Chu Xi coming, he stepped forward to salute: "The princess and the princess will wait for a while, and the queen is inside." ”

Chu Ji bowed, but after looking at the sky, it was almost evening, and it was also a matter of the morning when they came over, and now that a day has passed, hasn't the queen and Chu Dai'er finished the quarrel? Lin Qingyu was not seen left and right, she was very anxious, remembering the scene at the time, he must have run over without permission, and stabbed the prince Zhao Yiheng in public, this crime, if the emperor is ruthless, it is a reduction in office and exile.

Seeing that Chu Xi was anxious, Gonggong Gao said with a smile: "Don't worry, the princess, the prince is waiting outside the palace." ”

When Chu Xi heard this, as soon as he turned around, he saw a faint figure outside the main hall.

"The emperor punished the prince for kneeling, and after seeing you, he will talk about how to punish the prince, after all, the prince committed a big crime." Gao Gonggong always had a smile on his face, as if this matter was not very serious.

"How long will the queen be in there?" Chu Xi was still in a hurry, the poison in Lin Qingyu's body had not been solved, and now it was drizzling outside, he would definitely get sick if he knelt for so long.

Gao Gonggong smiled and said: "The princess, if you care, you will be chaotic, this is how the prince was punished to kneel, don't be too anxious." ”

Facing Father-in-law Gao's reminder, Chu Ji woke up: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it." ”

Gao Gonggong smiled silently, standing on one side and waiting.

Chu Ji looked at Lin Qingyu from a distance, and seemed to be able to feel his gaze, and his palms were slightly tight.

When it was completely dark, I finally saw a person come out of it. The phoenix robe is added to the body, and the bearing is graceful, but the expression on his face seems to be a little trance.

Seeing Chu Xi waiting outside, he smiled and said, "The princess is awake?" ”

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Chu Xi lowered her head, thinking that the queen would leave, but she didn't expect her to walk up to her in a few steps: "Raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”

Chu Xi didn't know what she meant, but she still raised her head according to her words.

The queen looked at her, Sheng Xue's skin, beautiful and natural facial features, made her more and more trance-like, she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, isn't she also in her prime.

"It's really good-looking, no wonder the prince is infatuated with you, and almost killed the five princes for you." The queen laughed.

Chu Ji looked at her smiling and unsmiling, and said: "The fifth prince intends to molest the wife of a courtier in public, even if it is not a concubine but another woman at that time, I believe that the prince will also take action, otherwise, wouldn't it harm the five princes and ruin the reputation of the royal family?" ”

The queen didn't expect Chu Xi to dare to talk to her like this. His face sank: "I didn't know you were such sharp before." ”

"The queen is overrated." Chu Xi lowered her eyebrows.

The queen didn't say anything more to her, turned around and looked at Fang Cai's Heart Cultivation Palace, her face tightened, and she walked away.

Seeing her like this, Chu Ji thought that her plan to push Chu Dai'er as the imperial concubine had failed. What Chu Xi didn't know was that Chu Dai'er had now become the fifth princess by mistake.

Entering the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the emperor was leaning on the warm couch tiredly, the tea was fragrant in front of the table, and the kneeling cushion on the ground had not had time to be removed.

Gonggong Gao stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the princess is here." ”

"Well, come here." The emperor said lightly, turned his head to look at Chu Xi, and beckoned to her: "Come and talk back." ”

"Yes." Chu Xi's heart was cold, and she stepped forward, but stopped when she was three steps away from the emperor.

The emperor smiled when he saw her move, but he didn't ask her to step forward again: "What do you think I should do with this matter?" One is my son, and the other is my favorite courtier. If it were you, what would you do? ”

Chu Xi frowned slightly, raised his head to look at him, the emperor's temples were all white, and coughing from time to time made him look even older, but his eyes became more and more vibrant.

"The prince is at fault, and he should be punished." Chu Ji said.

"Oh?" The Emperor seemed a little interested: "Go on." ”

"He shouldn't have stabbed the five princes without taking the royal face in his eyes when he saw the five princes forcibly threatening his wife, and he shouldn't have saved Chu Xi without the emperor's permission, and he should be punished." Chu Xi's eyes were calm, but the corners of the emperor's mouth twitched when she heard it, where was she really saying that Lin Qingyu should be punished, and she was clearly accusing Zhao Yiheng.

"The queen said that you were in a strange medicine at the time, and the fifth prince was also in a strange medicine after the past, so he did such a move to you." The Emperor continued to laugh.

Chu Xi didn't know what the emperor was going to do, so he only said: "Since this is the case, then it is even more time to punish the prince, why doesn't he check in advance before he does it, in this way, it will not hurt the five princes, at most take Chu Xi's life, Chu Xi's life, where is the fifth prince's precious." ”

Gonggong Gao was shocked when he heard it on the side, and the princess of this world was also bold, and she dared to scold the emperor here.

"Your Majesty, the princess is also stimulated"

The emperor stopped the father-in-law Gao, who wanted to speak for Chu Xi, and seemed to be more energetic, staring at Chu Xi: "Then I ask you again, how should the five princes be punished?" ”

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth hooked: "Since the fifth prince has a strange medicine in his body, he is also a victim, but the emperor has to check carefully, who gave this strange medicine, why Chu Xi is tired and weak after being hit by this strange medicine, while the fifth prince is strong and strong, and he doesn't want to attack the palace maid, but he wants to attack Chu Xi." ”

Look at her composure. The emperor's interest became more and more high: "In this way, the fifth prince is also suspected of directing and acting by himself?" ”

"Chu Xi didn't dare to speculate." Chu Xi lowered her head.

When the emperor saw that she began to soften again, he laughed instead: "Smart is smart, but this mouth is too unforgiving." ”

Chu Xi's palms were slightly tight, if it weren't for the emperor's trick, she wouldn't have bothered to tell him so much, this can obviously be seen that the emperor did the game, and it seems to have been arranged by him from beginning to end.

"Since you say so, I will punish Qing Fool" The emperor's tone hesitated, looked at Chu Xi's tightly clenched palm, and chuckled: "I heard that the Hou Mansion is rich and rivals the country, so let him donate 300,000 taels to fill the treasury, which can be regarded as benefiting the people." ”

Chu Xi gritted her teeth and did not answer.

"And." The emperor laughed: "It will be the queen's birthday in a few days, you must come over at that time, I haven't heard the foolish play the piano for a long time, and the most famous violinist in the capital will also be there, as well as the exotic dancing girl from Mongolia this time, you have to let him play a tune for me, and if you hurt my prince, you must give me a step down, right?" ”

Chu Xi held back the anger in her heart, took away 300,000 taels from the Hou Mansion, and let Lin Qingyu play the piano on stage, what did she treat him for? Drama?

The emperor sensed Chu Xi's anger, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "Go, it's cold in spring, don't fall into the root of the disease again." ”

Chu Xi suppressed the anger in her heart, saluted respectfully, raised her eyes to look at the smiling emperor, turned her head and left.

Seeing Chu Ji leave, the emperor was a little disappointed: "Didn't the fourth lady of the Chu family say that this eldest miss Chu is resourceful, and she kept hinting that she was involved in those things in the Chu Mansion, how can it be seen from me that she is just a smarter young lady?" ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly smiled: "Why does the emperor care about this?" ”

The emperor smiled: "I don't care about her, but she has become Lin Qingyu's weakness, and I have to care." ”

Gonggong Gao retreated to one side and didn't speak, but Chu Xi, who had just walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, seemed to have heard what Emperor Fang Cai said, and the anger and depression on Fang Cai's face were completely gone, only worried. The emperor is not afraid of the thorns that come out, but he is afraid of those sharp blades that are still hidden, the more Lin Qingyu has a handle to pinch in his hands, he will be at ease with Lin Qingyu, who has strong financial resources and is very wise, the most complicated heart in the world is the emperor.

Chu Xi didn't think about it anymore, walked a few steps, almost lifted her skirt and trotted out in front of the palace gate, and when she arrived at the door, Lin Qingyu was also helped to stand up.

"Sister"

Before Lin Qingyu's words were finished, Chu Xi ignored the eyes around him and hugged him. God knows that when she woke up in the room, she didn't see Lin Qingyu's fear, if he was gone, she couldn't imagine what she would become.

Lin Qingyu looked at Chu Ji, who was holding him tightly, smiled, raised his hand to stop her, and said softly: "It's okay, let's go back." ”

Chu Xi nodded, stood up from his arms, looked at his face that had begun to turn white, and held his cold hand: "Let's go home." ”

Lin Qing bowed his head. Before he took a step, a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, he swallowed it immediately, suppressed the restlessness in his body with his internal force, and followed Chu Xi to the outside of the palace, but after walking less than a hundred steps, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell straight back.

The news that Lin Qingyu fainted quickly reached the emperor's ears, and when he heard the words, he only said, "Send the imperial doctor over." ”

Gonggong Gao ordered to go down, and brought ginseng tea again: "Your Majesty, drink some hot tea." ”

The emperor looked at it and pushed it aside: "No need. After speaking, he looked at Gonggong Gao's worried face and laughed: "You don't have to look like I'm about to die, and don't rack your brains to think about how to make up for me, I know my body." As he spoke, the emperor began to cough violently again, and Gonggong Gao hurriedly brought the golden basin over, and as soon as the emperor coughed, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

After taking the tea and rinsing his mouth, he lay on the bed tiredly: "My days are numbered, I can't help them play these things slowly, they have to speed up, speed up."

Gao Gonggong was on the side, seeing that he was coughing constantly, lowering his eyebrows and not daring to say more.

Chu Ji returned to the mansion and settled Lin Qingyu, only to learn that the emperor had married Chu Dai'er to the fifth prince after she fainted.

Xiao Fu'er saw that it was already dark outside, and came in with hot soup: "Miss, you can drink some too." ”

Chu Xi shook her head, she didn't have any appetite at all.

"Where's Lin Fu?"

"I'm waiting outside." Xiao Fu'er said.

Chu Xi got up and instructed Xiao Fu'er and Chunzhi to guard, and she walked out.

Lin Fu didn't seem surprised, and stepped forward to salute: "The princess." ”

"Do you still have to ask Zheng Yun for the antidote?" Chu Xi asked.

"We still have some pills, don't worry about the princess." Lin Fu said.

How could Chu Xi not be worried, if this poison was not completely solved one day, she would not be able to feel at ease for a day.

"Is there any other way?" Chu Xi asked.

Lin Fu frowned, looked at Chu Xi, and swallowed back the words that he wanted to blurt out; "This poison is different from ordinary poisons, there is no antidote, and the pills that have been fed to the prince all the time are just suppressed medicines, and no one knows the solution."

Chu Xi's face turned slightly pale: "The poison of this medicine, apart from these manifestations, what else is there?" ”

Lin Fu shook his head: "I don't know, this poison is a poison made by people, and the person who made it is already dead." ”

"So Zheng Yun is"

"The man's son." Lin Fu didn't hide it in the end, Chu Xi's silver teeth bit slightly, only felt a little dizzy, held on to the door frame and stood firm, and breathed quickly for a while before relieving himself.

"The princess, the prince won't wake up for a while, our business"

"Keep doing it." Chu Ji said: "The queen's birthday is approaching, and she will definitely take the opportunity to recognize the five princes as her sisters-in-law, and the Chu family will also become the help of the five princes." Although Zhao Yiheng hates Chu Bingsong, Chu Bingsong will definitely have stupid fantasies, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Chu Bingsong has been reduced to this now, he still has a certain strength.

Lin Fu was puzzled: "What does the princess mean?"

"Chu Mansion, you don't need to keep people." Chu Ji said, raised his eyes and looked at Lin Fu: "Do you understand what I mean?" ”

Lin Fu hurriedly handed over his hand: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Go ahead and do it, in addition, the matter of rescuing the Yang family, I hope it can be done as soon as possible, if it is too late, this matter will definitely not be hidden." Chu Ji said.

Lin Fu nodded, turned his head and went out.

In the evening, Chu Bingsong was finishing his errands, his body was covered with sweat, he looked at the maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and said: "Whoever gives out a son, whoever is directly promoted to the position of the aunt, there will be no less glory and wealth, don't cry all day long!" ”

How dare the three of them say nothing, they should be busy getting up.

Chu Bingsong looked at the three of them like this, remembering that now Chu Dai'er had been given the title of the Fifth Princess, and she was in a better mood, plus she had taken an aphrodisiac, and now her interest was rising again, and her perennial serious face also showed a lewd smile, and she stepped forward and grabbed one and pressed it down on the warm couch.

After ramming all night, Lin Fu's ears were calloused, and seeing that the time was almost up, he quietly slipped to the window and lit the special aphrodisiac incense in his hand, and added something else to this aphrodisiac incense.

Chu Bingsong was already so tired that he couldn't do it, and his eyes began to be in a trance, and the three maids who seemed to be equally exhausted became extremely charming at this moment, Chu Bingsong looked at himself and was still interested, and wanted to stop, but his body couldn't control it.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Lin Fu hid in the dark, and it was not until dawn that the housekeeper hurried over.

"Master, Master Li is here." The housekeeper is in the outer road.

Li Xiao followed and stood in the courtyard, hearing that Chu Bingsong had been waiting for a morning yesterday, why did he also come to see him.

The housekeeper knocked on the door for a long time, but Chu Bingsong's voice was no longer heard.

"This" The housekeeper hurriedly walked down: "Lord Li, the master may have been tired last night, or you should look"

The housekeeper was about to leave with Li Xiao, but he heard a sudden scream from the maid ring in the house, Li Xiao was stunned, and hurriedly pushed the door with the housekeeper and rushed in, only to find that several maids were covered in blood, and Chu Bingsong was kneeling on the bed at this time, pinching the neck of one of them in his hand, but he was also full of blood, as if he couldn't stop.

"Could it be the aphrodisiac soup last night?" The housekeeper was so frightened that his legs went limp.

Li Xiao hurriedly said: "Quick, knock him out!" ”

The housekeeper didn't say a word, stepped forward and picked up a vase and smashed it on Chu Bingsong's head, Chu Bingsong raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in a trance, and then he fainted to the side, silent.

Li Xiao was stunned, stepped forward and probed the maid's snort, she was already dead.

"Carry everyone out." Li Xiao said that, and asked the doctor to come over, but after the doctor came over, what he said surprised him even more.

If you want to save Chu Bingsong, you must cut off the root of his troubles!

"This" The housekeeper was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Master Li, you can give me an idea." ”

How dare Li Xiao take this idea, he is constantly afraid that Chu Bingsong will lose his life, and if he breaks it, he is afraid that Chu Bingsong will commit suicide because of the loss of face, no matter what, it is a dead word.

Just when Li Xiao hesitated, Mrs. Li rushed over.

Mrs. Li naturally didn't want to cut off the Chu family, so she naturally refused to break it, so Chu Bingsong consumed it like this, and hurriedly dragged Li Xiao home by the way.

In an instant, Chu Bingsong's ** back house, the news that he was going to cut off his children and grandchildren came out.

Zhao Yiheng was sitting in the house at this time, even if he hired the best doctor and used the best medicine for his two arms, it would take a year to fully recover, and what he could do now was just to recover his actions, Lin Qingyu still had room to do it, but it would not be completely wasted.

Hearing the news from the Chu Mansion, Zhao Yiheng couldn't help it anymore: "Which one is Chu Bingsong singing to me now!" ”

"Fifth Prince, he will be yours soon"

"Shut up." Zhao Yiheng said in a deep voice, the original plan was foolproof, but he didn't want his father to let Lin Qingyu rush out, just rush out, just take the opportunity to destroy the Anping Hou Mansion, but his father actually let go of Lin Qingyu and threw Chu Dai'er such a bad shoe to himself.

Zhao Yiheng paced back and forth in the room, thinking about it, but he didn't bother.

"I'm a mere nuisance."

"The Fifth Prince has a way?" The others hurriedly asked.

"There are thousands of methods, it depends on how we use them." Zhao Yiheng remembered Lin Qingyu's angry appearance at that time, and his heart became more and more happy: "The queen's birthday, you must prepare well." ”

"Yes."

"And" Zhao Yiheng suddenly remembered something: "Haven't the two Yang family found it?" ”

"No, General Yang and that Yang Ci seem to have evaporated from the world, is the prince hiding and deliberately waiting for us to make a move? Otherwise, why didn't the Yang family move at all? "Bystanders.

Zhao Yiheng sneered: "Stupid, what are you staring at Yang Mansion, you have to stare at Chu Xi, Chu Xi loves her maids and relatives very much, but she only hates the people of Chu Mansion." ”

"What do the five princes mean?"

"Kill one or two first, warn her, and let her know that this prince is not as easy to handle as she imagined." Zhao Yiheng seemed to have grasped Chu Xi's weakness, leaned on the door frame on the side leisurely, and looked at the scenery outside the house lightly, Chu Xi. Play with me, you're still a little tender!

Mei Niang came over early in the morning, and in the name of sending clothes, she went to the inner room to see Chu Xi.

"The princess, is the prince okay?" Mei Niang looked at her, dressed in plain clothes, her expression was light, her eyes were slightly swollen, and she didn't seem to have rested well.

"It's fine." Chu Xi said lightly: "Come here this time, but what happened?" ”

Mei Niang turned her head and took a box, the box opened, and it was full of the list that Chu Xi had given her at the beginning: "The list you asked me to check before has been found out, and it is all dead." Mei Niang handed her the list, but all those who died were ticked off with a red pen.

"All dead?"

"Hmm." Mei Niang bowed: "The cause of death is unknown, many of them disappeared by accident and never came back." ”

Chu Xi looked at the thick list and understood something: "Which states and counties are these people mainly concentrated in?" ”

"Quanzhou, Ye County, Lin'an" Mei Niang reported more than a dozen place names, and Chu Xi had an impression of seven or eight of them, which should have been inadvertently mentioned by Zhao Xunyan in his previous life. She didn't care about it before, but now it seems that they are all dead soldiers, but one of the remaining five is in the capital, which is the place where Lin Qingyu secretly took her to before, which is the boundary that belongs to the five princes, and is managed by the Yan Mansion, so the rest of the place

"In addition to these eight places, you send people to take a look at the rest of the places, and it is best to find the dens that raise the dead, lurk and wait for my news." Chu Xi said solemnly.

Mei Niang knew the seriousness of the matter: "I understand, but there is one more thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Mei Niang's brows furrowed slightly: "Our people have news, and Elder Yan should be in the past two days." ”

Chu Xi gritted her silver teeth slightly, and she didn't know what to say, but no one could control this thing.

"I see." Yi'er is still in the neighboring county, which is a disease protection area, and I don't know if she can come back in time.

Mei Niang left, and Aunt Fu hurried over from outside: "Miss, Xu Gui said that there is something important to report." ”

"Let him come in and see me." Chu Xi felt a little dizzy. Shook and stood dangerously.

Aunt Fu was a little worried: "Princess, you haven't rested all night, do you want to?"

"Well, I'll go rest in a moment, let's call him in first." Lin Qingyu was unconscious, she was anxious, but she must also see the same things as before he woke up after he woke up, and she couldn't let this place become a mess.

Aunt Fu didn't say much, but only told Xiao Fu'er to wait carefully, and then went down to find Xu Gui.

Xu Gui came, and knelt on the ground: "Miss, there is important news from our people. ”

"Say it." Looking at Xu Gui's thoughtful appearance, Chu Ji smiled tiredly.

Xu Gui raised his head: "The second lady of the Chu family is now living in the Fifth Prince's Mansion. ”

When Chu Xi heard this, she was surprised, and then said, "What else?" ”

"Our people also heard that the guards of the Five Princes' Mansion seem to have received some orders, saying that they will come to the Hou Mansion in the evening." Xu Gui said: "This is from the beggar brothers who are asking for food outside, and I don't know if it's accurate." ”

"Not exactly." Chu Xi shook his head slightly: "The people of the five princes will not come to the Hou Mansion. But he will inevitably take action" Zhao Yiheng is back now, and he is not prepared to swallow his anger, let alone his own anger.

"So, what then?" Xu Gui said urgently.

Chu Xi chuckled: "Don't worry, you did a good job in the armory room, don't worry about it this time." After that, let Xiao Fu'er take a bulging purse over: "Tell me to go down, pay more attention to the Five Princes' Mansion, if there is any movement, report it immediately, even if it is the middle of the night." ”

Sensing the seriousness of this matter, Xu Gui nodded again and again, his mind turned a few times, but he still raised his head: "There is one thing I don't know if you need to know."

"What else?"

"It's the matter of King Xiaoyao, when he fled the capital before, our people saw it, he went out of the city, changed his clothes in the middle of the night, and then folded back, and then disappeared, but our brothers were guarding the city gate day and night, and I didn't see him go out of the city again" Xu Guiyu hesitated, and he didn't know if this news was useful or not.

Chu Xi's brows furrowed slightly: "Zhao Xunyan didn't go out of the city?" "So what does he want to do? Shouldn't he have gone to the dead men to besiege and rebel? Or did he not leave the city because there were still allies in the city?

Chu Ji twisted her brows fiercely, raised her eyes to look at Xu Gui, and before she could contain the fierceness in her eyes, Xu Gui was so frightened that she quickly knelt down: "Girl, forgive your sins!" ”

Chu Xi retracted her exposed emotions and said, "It's okay, you can step back first, Zhao Xunyan also continued to stare at it, it is best to find out who he is with!" ”

"Yes!" When Xu Gui heard this, he hurried down.

As soon as Xu Gui left, Chunzhi happened to come over, and glanced at Chu Xi apologetically: "Miss, the slave's in-laws suddenly fell ill, and the husband came over, with a look of urgency, can the slave and maid go back and take a look first?" ”

"Why did you suddenly get sick, didn't you get caught in the rain and cold last night?" Xiao Fu'er asked hurriedly.

Chunzhi was also anxious: "I don't know, when I came over this morning, they were fine." But the husband came over suddenly, and his face was panicked, so the slave wanted to go home first. ”

Chu Ji looked at Chunzhi, remembered Xu Gui's words, and blinked: "Okay, you go back first." ”

"Thank you, Miss!" Chunzhi hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly went back.

"It's easy to get sick on a day like this." Xiao Fu'er sighed on the side, Chu Xi looked at Chunzhi's back, and shook her head slightly: "Xiao Fu'er, you and Aunt Fu will stay in the house and don't go anywhere." Chu Xi said that, and straightened up.

Xiao Fu'er said anxiously: "Where is Miss going?" ”

"I'll go back to Chu Mansion, my father is so sick, as a daughter, I naturally want to go back to see it." Chu Xi said loudly, and then called Lin Fu out of the Hou Mansion together.

The carriage of the Hou Mansion went quickly to the market, and when it passed by the mouth of an alley, it suddenly bumped and paused, and then ran away in a hurry.

The people who followed the carriage of the Hou Mansion from afar saw this, so they followed again.

After confirming that the people who followed the Hou Mansion left, Chu Xi glanced at Lin Fu: "Go and follow Chunzhi." ”

"Then the princess, you are alone"

"Don't worry, the front is the Prince's Mansion." Chu Ji said.

Lin Fu was still not at ease, Chu Xi raised the purple jade pendant in his hand again, and said, "Don't worry." ”

Lin Fu looked at Chu Xi, although she was smart, she was too bold: "Okay, princess, you must take care!" ”

Chu Ji looked at him with a look of life and death, raised his eyebrows slightly, and Lin Fu left in a hurry.

Chu Xi looked at the Prince's Mansion in front of him, straightened his clothes, and walked over directly.

After Chunzhi saw Fu Liangsheng at the back door, they went home together.

"What's wrong with my mother?" Haruka asked anxiously as she walked.

Fu Liangsheng's eyes were red, his eyes were wet, and his hand holding Chunzhi suddenly exerted force: "Wait, we still won't go back." ”

Haruka looked at the alley in front of him as his home, and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Fu Liang gritted his teeth stiffly: "You go back and serve the princess, the princess treats you well, you can follow her well, if there is a better person in the future"

"What do you say?" Chunzhi's face was flushed, and he slapped him coquettishly: "Okay, husband, let's go back and take a look, if it's serious, we have to ask for a doctor." Chunzhi said that she was about to go to the alley, but Fu Liangsheng grabbed her: "No, you leave quickly, hurry up!" As he spoke, he pushed Chunzhi out, but before Chunzhi could ask again, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw four or five men in black with knives, and he was stunned.

Fu Liangsheng protected Chunzhi behind him: "Run!" ”

"No!" Chunzhi shook his head, Fu Liangsheng is a scholar, how can he beat these people.

"Run!" Fu Liangsheng's frightened lips began to tremble, but he still protected Chunhui, and when he saw that she refused to leave, he simply pushed her away and looked back at the people in black: "She has no grievances with you."

Before Fu Liangsheng's words were finished, there was no sound, Chunzhi ran two steps, turned around, and saw that the man in black had stabbed the long sword into Fu Liangsheng's stomach, and a sadness that seemed to tear her apart struck: "No----! ”

Fu Liangsheng's hand clutched the sword. The boos shouted: "Haruka, go!" Walk! Before he could finish his sentence, the man drew his sword sharply and raised his hand to slit his throat.

Harueda froze in place, seemingly frozen, watching the sword stab at him, but he didn't react.

When Lin Fu arrived, the sword was only the thickness of a leaf from her neck.

"Haruzhi, let's go!" Lin Fu shouted.

As if he didn't hear his voice, Chunzhi stepped forward and knelt beside Fu Liangsheng, and probed his nose with trembling hands, only then did he cry in despair.

Lin Fu Kung Fu is naturally above these people, and although it is difficult to fight one against five, he still protects Chunzhi in the end.

When Chu Xi arrived with the rescuers from the Prince's Mansion, only two of the five people were dead.

"Grab them all!" Zhao Xuanyi personally led the troops over, Chu Ji hurriedly got off the carriage after seeing Chunzhi, Zhao Xuanyi pulled her back: "Danger, go over in a while!" ”

Chu Xi looked at the blood on the ground, looked at Fu Liangsheng, who had died, and looked at the desperate Chunzhi, and her heart ached. brushed away Zhao Xuanyi's hand and walked over.

Zhao Xuanyi's face was dark: "What are you still doing in a daze, protect the princess!" ”

Lin Fu had someone to help, so he naturally quickly grabbed the remaining two, unloaded his chin, and took the poison sac.

Zhao Xuanyi came over and asked people to search their bodies, but there were no tokens such as waist cards on their bodies at all, Zhao Yiheng came prepared this time, and these people were already prepared to live.

Chu Ji approached cautiously and looked at Chunzhi: "Chunzhi"

"Miss, I have nothing." Chunzhi looked at Chu Ji in despair, she had seen too many people die, Mother Jiang, Bai Xue, and now her only lover Fu Liangsheng, she thought that she finally had a place to rely on, a home and a home in this life, but God was cruel and still took Fu Liangsheng's life.

Chu Ji stepped forward and hugged her distressedly: "You still have me, let's go home." She choked slightly, she was planning to find someone from the Prince's Mansion. In this way, Zhao Yiheng knew that the prince was staring, and he would have some scruples, but he didn't expect that he was still a step late.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at Chu Xi, didn't know what to say, stared at the two of them coldly, knowing that he couldn't ask: "Take it down"

Just when the two of them passed by Chunzhi, Chunzhi pushed Chu Xi away, turned his head and picked up the knife on the ground, and stabbed one of the assassins in the abdomen: "I'm going to kill you, kill you!" ”

Chunzhi shouted out of control, others wanted to stop him, but Zhao Xuanyi raised his hand lightly to stop it, looking at Chu Xi, who was standing on the side with red eyes, his brows furrowed slightly.

After Chunzhi finished venting, he looked at the blood on his hands, watched the man fall to the ground, turned around stupidly, looked at Fu Liangsheng who fell to the ground, and muttered: "You are still talking to me, and you are still driving me away, where are you going to drive me away." ”

Lin Fu couldn't bear to look at it and turned his head.

Chu Xi opened her mouth, her voice hoarse: "Spring Branch"

"Miss, I want to accompany him." Chunzhi turned his head and looked at Chu Xi desolately, a light rain fell from the sky, and it fell on people's faces, which was very cold.

Chu Xi's palms were clenched, she didn't know how to save this life that was already dead, after Bai Xue died, Chunzhi had no idea of living, until Fu Liangsheng appeared, but now, Fu Liangsheng is also dead.

"Chunzhi, everything can be done again" Lin Fu wanted to persuade, but Chu Ji closed her eyes, let the tears fall, and her lover was killed in front of her eyes, she knew how painful it was, not to mention that Chunzhi had no worries in this world.

"There is no restart. Liangsheng is waiting for me at the bottom, I can't accompany you anymore. Chunzhi smiled sadly, she was really grateful to Chu Xi, if she hadn't met her, how could she have known that living was life, not waiting for the days to pass and waiting for the day of death to come.

Chunzhi's knife was cut on his neck, a big bloody cut, which made people unbearable to look at.

She fell next to Fu Liangsheng, turned her head to look at his seemingly vivid face, and wanted to speak, but the blood in her mouth kept coming out. She wanted to thank him for letting her experience a good day. She seemed to remember the first time he hid behind the screen to see him, he was shy and clear, he still remembered the shy way he came to see her every day with the old hen and wanted to make soup for her, and he also remembered the red lantern and red robe that night, he told her that the white heads were inseparable, but there was no future

Chu Ji tried her best to hold back the sadness and pain gushing out of her heart, swallowed all the bitterness deeply, watched Chunzhi lose her breath, and turned her head to look at Zhao Xuanyi: "This person, you must speak." ”

Zhao Xuanyi knew that what she said was the only living mouth left, and sighed lightly: "These people are not afraid of death"

"Then let them live rather than die!" Chu Xi's voice was hoarse, and she didn't seem to be able to make a sound.

Zhao Xuan was puzzled, and when he saw Chu Xi's red eyes like those in hell, he was stunned: "Chu Xi"

Chu Xi turned around and looked at the man: "You're not afraid of death?" ”

The man just smiled defiantly: "What is the fear of death? I have no family or friends to be burdened, I just die, a life, you will take it! ”

"Good, bold!" Chu Xi's cold voice followed his words, and the corners of his mouth were coldly hooked: "Then have you ever heard that there is a kind of torture called copper bull punishment?" ”

The man frowned, obviously unaware.

The curvature of the corners of Chu Xi's mouth became larger and larger: "There is a door on the copper bull that can be opened, and the inside is hollow. After the prisoners were imprisoned in the ox, a fire was lit under the ox until the copper was burned red. Let the prisoners be slowly roasted to death. How's that, doesn't it sound like it hurts at all? ”

The man gritted his teeth slightly. Obviously, he was a little afraid, but he still regarded death as home, but Chu Xi's words were not finished.

"But I won't let you be roasted to death like this, I will use a small fire to let you be tortured, and then drag you out, remove your skin and flesh alive, so that the white bones on your body can be seen, so, how about it?"

"You're the devil!" The man shuddered when he heard this, and death was not terrible, but the thought of such a punishment made him afraid.

"That's what you forced me to do." Chu Xi said in a cold voice, turned his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi, who was frowning at him, his heart was slightly cold, and he said lightly: "Prince, can't you ask the mastermind behind the scenes with this method?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi didn't speak: "It's just a maid, do you want to take revenge like this?" ”

Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, her chin raised slightly, and she looked at him indifferently: "Does the prince think it's cruel?" To the prince, she is just a maid, and her husband is also a commoner. But for me, she is my sister and my relative. Chu Ji knew that he wouldn't understand, she didn't force it, Zhao Xuanyi didn't understand, what did it matter to her?

"Lin Fu."

"The princess!" Lin Fu hurriedly came over.

Chu Xi gritted her teeth slightly: "Let people arrange Chunzhi and the Fu family, and you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me." ”

"Chu Xi, the prime minister is your father after all."

"What does the prince think I'm going to do?" Chu Xi looked at him lightly, but Zhao Xuanyi felt a huge gap between himself and Chu Xi at this time, and he thought that in this life, it would be impossible to get Chu Xi's heart.

"There are still a lot of eyes staring at the capital, you should be careful." Zhao Xuanyi's voice softened.

Chu Xi turned his head and didn't look at him again: "I heard before that the Fifth Prince was unexpectedly very afraid of the sound of the whip, and when he heard the sound of the whip when he was in the Hou Mansion, he would be tense, and I also heard that the princess of King Xiaoyao, who fled due to rebellion, is now living in the Five Princes' Mansion." Chu Ji didn't say much, but said: "If the prince has time, go into the palace to accompany Concubine Su more." With that, Tibu left.

Zhao Xuanyi watched her disappear into the rain, and a certain piece of her heart seemed to have been taken away by her, but such a woman was not suitable for the palace.

"Someone Coming"

"Prince." Someone is busy.

Zhao Xuanyi looked back at the man, and said lightly: "According to the law of the princess, put it in the iron ox, cook it over low heat, and don't let him die until the palace comes back!" "Anyway, get on the horse and go to the palace, only a few days will be the queen's birthday, and he must also prepare a 'gift'!
