As soon as Zhao Xunyan finished dealing with the matter of the dead soldier, he heard someone come to report: "Lord, it's not good, the palace is on fire." ”

"Fire? Where is the fire? A trace of panic flashed on Zhao Xunyan's face.

The man was frightened by Zhao Xunyan's sternness, was stunned, and hurriedly said, "It's the innermost room in the East Courtyard." ”

Zhao Xunyan's face sank, and he was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Xuanyi: "Uncle Xiaohuang, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Xunyan endured the anger in his heart and said, "There is a fire in the palace, I want to rush back to take a look." ”

Zhao Xuanyi looked at him, and then looked at Lord Han and General Yang who were tired, and always felt that what was calculated today seemed to be Zhao Xunyan.

"I'll go over with Uncle Xiaohuang, and I'll leave it to the two adults here." Zhao Xuanyi said, seeing the lust between Zhao Xunyan's eyebrows, his cold face was a little suspicious, Lin Qingyu had always said that King Xiaoyao was the one who really wanted to rebel, could it be that these dead soldiers were all raised by him? If this is the case, then it can explain why as soon as he came, he began to take the lead step by step, killing people and killing people.

Sensing Zhao Xuanyi's suspicions, Zhao Xunyan just straightened his expression and didn't say much, what he was worried about now was the innermost room in the East Courtyard. There is a secret passage in the house, which connects here, Zhen Niang escaped, it should be a secret passage back to the palace, if the fire has been burning for a while, she is likely to have been trapped inside.

The two of them each rode a fast horse, but Zhao Xunyan did not care about Zhao Xuanyi's noble status, and directly whipped the horse and left ahead of Zhao Xuanyi.

Leng Dao followed behind Zhao Xuanyi and snorted coldly: "King Xiaoyao really didn't take you seriously. ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face showed a relaxed look, since the enemy has arrived in the light, he is not afraid.

At this time, in the Pavilion of the Pavilion. Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Zhen, who looked slightly tired, and said with a smile: "Big sister, what's the matter, I didn't rest well last night?" ”

"I'm worried that my second sister will send my maid ring away, so I didn't rest well all night, and I didn't think about it, but the second sister still took my big girl ring." Chu Ji didn't beat around the bush at all.

When Chu Zhenzhen heard this, her face was embarrassed, because she was scolded by Chu Bingsong for sending away the maid ring in the yard of her aunts, as for the big girl ring she said, how did she know?

"Big sister, isn't she spying on me?"

Chu Ji chuckled: "If I spy on you, Chunzhi won't be captured by you." ”

"What did you say about arresting, she made a mistake and bumped into me, I just punished her, what, I'm now in charge of the house with the middle feed, and I can't punish a little girl?" As soon as Chu Zhenzhen thought of this, she felt confident again.

"Chunzhi's deed of sale is in my hands, if you punish her and scold her, do you have to ask me too?" Chu Zhen said lightly, her unhurried and unannoyed appearance actually made Chu Zhenzhen feel that this person seemed to be born with a sense of dignity that people did not dare to refute.

"I" Chu Zhenzhen's tongue was a little knotted, and seeing that Chu Xi was still unfazed, she bit her lip slightly: "Chu Xi, if you really dare to force me, I can kill her even if I kill her, and you can't find evidence to cure me!" ”

"That's why I didn't say I wanted you to release him?" Only then did Chu Xi raise her head and look at her: "Say, what do you want me to do?" In fact, what Chu Zhenzhen is going to do, she can roughly guess, it is nothing more than for those dowries. And now that Qin Xue is back, the idea of their mother and daughter must have hit the Dingguo Mansion.

Chu Zhenzhen saw that she was so unexpected, and always felt that she had caught the spring branch, as if she had fallen into her trap.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Zhen, and saw that her expression was indifferent and there was no different color, so she said, "I want you to go to the Dingguo Mansion with me to meet my uncle and aunt." ”

"That's all?" Chu Ji said.

"It's best to help me get a dowry" Before Chu Zhenzhen finished speaking, Chu Zhen said again: "Have you forgotten the first time you asked me to ask Grandpa Guo for money, what happened to you?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, of course she remembered that time Mama Qian was beaten to death, and her father lost his temper with his mother because of this.

"I don't care, no matter what, you have to help me with the dowry"

"Second sister, don't you think it's funny, I'm still a girl in the boudoir, so you let me go to your grandfather's house to ask for a dowry for you. Not to mention whether they will give it if I open my mouth, even if it is, if this word spreads, wouldn't it be a joke that the prospective princess of King Xiaoyao would have to ask her grandfather for a dowry? Chu Xi smiled faintly.

Chu Zhenzhen was not without shame, and her face turned red: "Then, what do you say?" I asked you to lend me your dowry, but you won't want to! Chu Zhenzhen snorted, but Chu Zhen said: "You borrowed my dowry to get married, is it good to spread it?" ”

"Then don't spread it, besides, if it gets out, you will say that it is mine" Chu Zhenzhen thought self-righteously, but she didn't see that the maids and women around her all bowed their heads and laughed.

Chu Zhenzhen was furious: "What are you laughing at! ”

"Second sister, is the relationship between you and me already so good, so good that I won't say anything when you come to take my things?" Chu Xi's tone was slightly cold: "However, I have a way, you may be able to give it a try." ”

"What's the solution?" Chu Zhenzhen held her breath in her heart, but when she heard Chu Zhen say this, she had to hold her breath.

Chu Xiwaner: "Let them be happy and send you what you want!" ”

In front of the Dingguo Mansion, as soon as the Huang family heard that the two young ladies of the Chu family were coming, they panicked and hurriedly reported to the Bai family, but the Bai family just asked her to come out to greet her.

As soon as Chu Zhenzhen got out of the carriage, she saw the Huang family standing at the door, her eyes were a little disdainful, but she carefully put it away, and stepped forward weakly and saluted: "Zhenzhen greets my aunt." ”

Huang smiled embarrassedly and helped her up: "Let's go and say hello to your grandmother first." ”

Chu Zhenzhen looked down on this aunt from the bottom of her heart, she was cowardly and timid, and it was useless.

"Okay, listen to my aunt." Chu Zhenzhen said gently, while Chu Zhen followed to the side without speaking.

A few people walked slowly on the verandah on the side, and the Huang family couldn't wait to reach the Bai family's courtyard in one step, but Chu Zhenzhen walked very slowly: "Uncle, I heard that the eldest brother has received an errand, and now there is a little brother in the family, have you ever enrolled in school?" ”

"Not yet." Huang didn't know how she asked about her child, so she only replied perfunctorily.

"Not yet, he's almost ten years old, why hasn't he enrolled in school yet? Don't delay. Chu Zhenzhen said busily.

Huang Shi became more and more unsure of what her idea was: "I invited a husband for him, and I learned it at home." Huang smiled perfunctorily.

"I see." Chu Zhenzhen said with a smile: "My brother Hong'er is only seven years old now, and he is about to enter the Tai Academy, where he can not only meet the children of princes and nobles, but also have the best master to teach." In the future, I will definitely be able to take the top prize and shine on the lintel. ”

Huang's face showed envy: "Tai Academy is a good place, but it's a pity that my family doesn't like to study, otherwise"

"Yes, I heard my grandmother say that the students of Tai Academy are not yet full, and I don't know if I can get one or two, but I need to take care of them" Chu Zhenzhen said slowly, as if she didn't care much.

Huang's eyes lit up, her youngest son is not smart, but the concubine in the family is born and very smart, Dingguo Gong was also born as a concubine, so it is particularly painful, this year's quota in the Tai Academy was given to the concubine, and her sister-in-law couldn't go, which made her linger for a long time.

Huang was about to ask, but he had already arrived at the gate of Bai's courtyard, Chu Zhenzhen gathered the cloak on his body and looked at Huang with a smile: "Uncle and wait for me for a while, I still have to go to see my uncle." ”

"Okay, okay." Huang nodded hurriedly.

Seeing this, Chu Zhenzhen looked back at Chu Zhen, and then walked in.

Seeing that Chu Zhen was also coming, the Bai family didn't feel much embarrassed, but when he left, he let the Huang family lead Chu Zhenzhen away, leaving Chu Zhen behind.

"Can't you see, you're actually helping her now?" Bai's face was full of sarcasm, and now her face was becoming more and more sharp, even though she was gorgeously dressed, she had a feeling of emptiness all over her body, and her eyes, which were originally quite cute, had now become sharp and mean.

Chu Xi sat aside and looked at the Bai family with a smile: "I can't see that you actually went to help King Xiaoyao." As far as I know, it seems that the Dingguo Mansion has always been on the side of the Eight Princes. ”

Bai remembered the last time he obeyed the order of King Xiaoyao and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion to tell Chu Ji about the draft, but he didn't expect to be discovered by her: "What evidence do you have?"

"I don't need to tell you if I have any evidence here, you and I just know it." Chu Zhen sat leisurely: "I came here this time, just to foil, Chu Zhenzhen arrested my person, and I was also forced to be helpless, so please bear with the Duchess of the Kingdom for this point." ”

Bai snorted lightly: "Then you'd better not help her today"

"I forgot to tell you, this time Chu Zhenzhen came to the Dingguo Mansion, but the whole city knew about it."

"How so?" Bai Shi was stunned, and after a while, he saw his mother-in-law running in and whispering a few words in her ear, and Bai's face sank suddenly: "You gave her the idea?" ”

"It's kind of revenge for the last time you calculated against me." Chu Xi looked at her with a faint expression, without the slightest fear.

Bai's face was so angry that Chu Zhenzhen came over this time, and she actually came over to worship in the name of seeing Qin Fei in a dream. It is a rare thing for the prospective princess to worship her maternal grandfather's sister, and it has become a topic of conversation after dinner for everyone, and it has spread very quickly. If Chu Zhenzhen goes back today, she will have three longs and two shorts, and she will have to deduct this charge on her head.

But this is not what makes the Bai family angry the most, what makes her the most angry is that not long after, she heard a report from the next person, saying that the prince took 30,000 taels of silver from the account room, and went back to the prime minister's mansion with Chu Zhenzhen in a carriage.

"Bastard, who told him to take the silver!" Bai was so angry that he almost jumped up.

The mother-in-law was very aggrieved: "Didn't you say that no matter how much silver the prince wants, he will take it?" ”

"I was going to squander it on him, not to give it to the two mothers and daughters of the Chu family!" Bai Shi's face turned blue with anger, and when he saw Chu Xi sitting below, he stared at her fiercely: "Chu Xi, you can't make an enemy of me!" ”

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "The Duchess of Guo misunderstood, I just taught her how to protect herself." Chu Xi stood up: "By the way, my mother's health seems to be getting better recently, if Mrs. has time, she can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to walk around more." Chu Xi smiled faintly and saluted, then turned around and left.

Bai Shi looked at her back. The letter was suspicious, and the mother-in-law on the side said, "Madam, should we go and stop the prince?" ”

"Stop? How to stop him, he can take the money away at any time, this is what I allow, how can I stop him? Bai Shi asked a series of questions, and watched the mother-in-law lower her head, only then she waved her hand angrily and threw all the tea cups on the table to the ground.

"Then this Miss Chu"

"Leave her alone." The Bai family can see clearly that Chu Xi is an easy person to provoke, and she has no grudge against her, and she really doesn't like Qin Xue's mother and son, otherwise she wouldn't have reminded herself to go to Chu Mansion: "Go, talk to the Huang family, open Chunlan Qiuju's face, and send it to the prince's room." ”

"Chunlan Qiuju?" The mother-in-law was slightly surprised, it was the personal ring next to the Huang family, although the appearance was ordinary. But the figure is very attractive, and the Huang family usually doesn't let these two girls see the prince.

"What are you still doing in a daze, do you want me to go in person?" Bai Shi said angrily, this time there is a good chance that the Huang family blew the wind in his ears, the prince is a soft-eared and confused person, it is not that the Huang family did not control it, and she will not easily let Chu Zhenzhen cheat the 30,000 taels, this 30,000 taels will make Chu Zhenzhen regret it sooner or later!

Chu Zhenzhen was happy at this moment, sitting in the same carriage as her uncle Qin Xun.

"What you said before is true?" Qin Xun looked at Chu Zhenzhen excitedly.

Chu Zhenzhen was a little shy: "Naturally, it's true, the dice that my grandmother collected are transparent, and I heard that there are hundreds of edges and corners, and they are very bright." ”

When Qin Xun heard this, he was busy, he fought cocks and lackeys, spent a lot of money, and collected all kinds of strange things, but this dice never existed.

"It's rare to see something that's transparent. Where did this thing come from? Qin Xun hurriedly asked.

Chu Zhenzhen laughed: "I heard that it was obtained when General Yang went out to conquer Xiyi, which is rare in the world, and it is said that it is the plaything of Emperor Xiyi, and after it was in the hands of General Yang, it was given to the most beloved little daughter, and later Yang Pei married into the Chu family and gave it to his grandmother." ”

"I see, that's really a rare thing, I don't know if your grandmother is willing to sell it for 30,000 taels?" Qin Xun hurriedly asked.

Chu Zhenzhen despised it in her heart, such an uncle of a loser, the Dingguo Mansion is a rich and rival country, and he will be defeated sooner or later.

Chu Zhenzhen smiled gently: "Uncle, don't worry, I have told my grandmother." If it weren't for the lack of money in the house, it wouldn't be."

Seeing her like this, Qin Xun also sighed: "Don't worry, when you go back, Uncle will send you some jewelry, and it will be regarded as adding makeup to you." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Chu Zhenzhen was full of smiles, but she was thinking in her heart. I don't know if the rare dice are secretly obtained by their own people, and the old lady's things are also guarded in the warehouse, and now she holds the key to the warehouse, and the old lady will not find out if she wants to get a pair of small dice.

The carriage stopped when it arrived at the gate of the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhenzhen wanted him to meet Qin Xue, after all, this was also what Qin Xue requested, but Qin Xun seemed to be very afraid of Qin Xue: "No, my uncle is waiting for you in the carriage, anyway, I also brought all the silver tickets, just wait for you to bring the things and I will give you the money." ”

Chu Zhenzhen was now thinking about money, and she didn't care too much, so she turned her head and went inside.

When she arrived at the door of the warehouse and saw the blocked ring, Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly stepped forward: "What's wrong?" ”

Mother Jiang saw that it was her, and smiled politely: "It was this girl who was sneaking around in the warehouse, and she was bumped into by the old slave, so she wanted to ask." ”

"Sneaky?" Chu Zhenzhen smiled: "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, I'll let her come over." I just asked her to help me find a pair of jade earrings for me, but I haven't been able to find them for the past few days, wondering if they were received in the warehouse by the ignorant Yahuan. ”

Mother Jiang heard her obvious flawed words, and frowned slightly: "Second Miss"

"Did you find anything?" Chu Zhenzhen looked at the girl ring and asked.

Yahuan bowed her head at this time: "Found it, found it"

Mother Jiang looked at the timid Yahuan, and then at Chu Zhenzhen, who had strange eyes, and there was no reason to ask more, so she had to step aside, watching Chu Zhenzhen take Yahuan to the direction of the gate, and then hurried back to Ronghua Courtyard.

Qin Xun's eyes widened when he saw the things in Chu Zhenzhen's hand, this shiny transparent object was rare, and it looked much better than those gemstone agate.

Seeing Qin Xun like this, Chu Zhenzhen said, "Uncle thinks it's worth 30,000 taels?" ”

"Value! Worth it absolutely! Qin Xun nodded hurriedly and gave the box he had been carrying to Chu Zhenzhen: "Come, 30,000 taels for you, then I'll go back first?" Qin Xun couldn't wait to show off to his fox friends and dogs.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at the silver, where did she have the heart to think about anything else, and Chu Zhen didn't explain anything else, so she smiled and saluted: "Uncle go slowly." ”

Qin Xun hurriedly lowered the curtain and let the carriage leave.

When Chu Zhen came back, she saw Chu Zhenzhen happily at the door, Chu Zhen got out of the carriage and said, "Second sister, I don't know if my maid ring can be put back?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen saw that Chu Xi cared about this girl so much, as if she had grasped her weakness: "You wait" After saying that, she turned around coldly and prepared to leave, Chu Zhen smiled faintly: "If this is the case, the second sister will come again in the future, maybe something will happen." ”

"You threaten me?" Chu Zhenzhen looked at her dissatisfied, she felt that her wit also accounted for a large part of today's events.

Chu Xi stepped forward, but she went straight past her and didn't stop: "I'm just reminding you that if you do it again next time, I don't dare to do anything, I'm afraid God won't be able to see it." ”

Chu Zhenzhen looked at her faint back and left, stomped her feet with hatred, and went to Ruyi Garden angrily when she stepped forward.

Qin Xue was very happy to see her come back, and struggled to sit up: "Zhen Zhen, is your uncle here?" ”

"Came, went back, he said he didn't want to see you." Chu Zhenzhen said.

Qin Xue's eyes widened: "What did you say!" How did you get him back! Qin Xue was furious, Qin Xun was her hope, but he obviously arrived at the door, but he didn't come to see him.

Chu Zhenzhen was startled when she saw Qin Xue who had such a big temper: "Mother, what are you anxious about, I have already got the money, it is 30,000 taels!" ”

Qin Xue looked at her and turned blue with anger: "You will be satisfied with 30,000 taels, if Qin Xun comes, we can get 300,000 taels!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen was surprised for a moment, and then said, "It's my uncle who said that I don't want to see you." ”

Qin Xue was so angry that her breathing became short, and Chu Zhenzhen was a little annoyed when she saw her so angry: "You serve Madame well." After that, he went back to his yard with the money, making Qin Xue so angry that he almost fainted.

Mother Jiang told her about meeting Chu Zhenzhen, and Mrs. Chu threw herself on Brother Hong, and only said lightly when she heard the words: "Maybe she is really looking for earrings, although she is greedy, but she is not very bold, if you are not at ease, let someone check it." ”

Mother Jiang bowed slightly, but didn't say more.

"Ming'er is the day when Brother Hong'er enters school, you go down and take a look, everything is ready, go to the master and ask again, see when to send Brother Hong'er's name to Qin Xue's name, the sooner the better." The old lady said while holding the pearl jade in her hand for Brother Hong to play.

"Yes." Mother Jiang retreated in response to this.

Bai Xue came in from outside, patted some snowflakes falling on his body, and then said, "Old lady." Aunt Yanxue asked to see her, saying that she wanted to see Brother Hong"

"I don't want to see her! She's a bad person, and she killed my own mother! Brother Hong directly threw the jewel in his hand, his eyes full of hatred.

Bai Xue was a little surprised, not to mention that Brother Hong'er's mother was not killed by Yanxue, or Yanxue's kindness to Brother Hong'er during this period of time, everyone saw it, this child actually listened to someone else's instigation, and hated Yanxue so much, it seems that this ruthless root is with Chu Bingsong.

The old lady took Brother Hong'er's hand: "Okay, good grandson, don't mention these, Ming'er, you are going to Tai Academy, the people in Tai Academy are all noble sons, you have to get to know more people, you know?" ”

Although Brother Hong is young, he also knows how to please people: "Brother Hong knows that Brother Hong must listen to his grandmother and study hard, and he will be an official as big as his father in the future." ”

"Good. My good grandson! The old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and glanced at Bai Xue: "Go and send people away, just say that Brother Hong'er wants to prepare for Ming'er's schooling, and he doesn't have time." ”

"Yes." Bai Xue received the order, and then went to reply.

Yanxue had red eyes, after Wang Gui left, she put all her thoughts on Brother Hong, and now that Brother Hong hates her like this, she can't find a life again. Chu Ji, the murderer of Wang Gui, refused to say, what is the meaning of her life?

Seeing her face like ashes, Bai Xue said worriedly: "Auntie, are you okay?" Brother Hong is still young and ignorant, don't take it to heart."

Yanxue reluctantly smiled and thanked Bai Xue, and staggered back, but as she walked, she actually arrived at the Zhujin Pavilion.

Chunzhi was sent back, and Chu Xi asked her to go down and rest after being frightened. I heard that the smoke and snow were coming.

Chu Ji invited her in, and when she saw her trance-like expression, she knew that she had nothing to love again, so she only sent everyone down.

"Although I can't be 100% sure of the murderer of Wang Gui, I probably know who it is." Chu Xi said suddenly.

Yanxue's eyes lit up: "Who is it?" ”

"Chu Dai'er." Chu Xi didn't hide it: "Her identity is more complicated than you and I imagined, and she is ruthless, I am worried that after you know it, she will reveal her flaws and let her be ruthless to you." Chu Xi explained.

When Yanxue heard this, her expression was much more relaxed: "If she dares to kill me, I will bite her to death and die with her!" ”

Chu Ji frowned slightly: "Wang Gui wants you to live"

"But I can't live anymore." Yan Xue's eyes were red: "My parents died early, and only one Wang Gui was willing to treat me sincerely, and now that Wang Gui is dead, even Brother Hong" Yan Xue's throat choked slightly: "Miss, I know that you are for my good, but I am tortured when I live." ”

Chu Xi understood her feelings, and she had also been unable to survive. You can't die, and in that case, it's better to die than to live

"I want you to live, but if you die, how can you see with your own eyes what happens to your enemies when they are punished?" Chu Xi's tone was extremely light and light, making Yanxue mistakenly think that she was talking about herself.

"You go back and rest first, the days are still long, things have to be done slowly one by one, and you can't rush." Chu Xi smiled faintly.

Yan Xue bowed her head, got up and looked at Chu Xi deeply: "If you can help you in the future, you just come to find me." "As long as she can avenge Wang Gui, she just doesn't want this life.

asked people to send Yanxue away, and Lu Tan came over, looked at Chu Xi and said in surprise: "Miss, you haven't rested?" ”

"Not only did I not rest, but I was also dragged by the second lady to the Dingguo Mansion." Xiao Fu'er said.

After Lu Tan came back in the morning, he went to sleep in the morning, thinking that he was still resting when he woke up at this time.

"Miss, are you going to rest now?" Midori asked.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "No." I'm sober too, and it's still some hour before dark, so let's go around the city. ”

Lu Tan nodded hurriedly, Chu Ji instructed Xiao Fu'er to take care of the spring branches and green shoots, and then took Lu Tan out.

Sitting in the carriage with Chu Xi, Lu Tan proudly took out a box from the lattice on the side, and when he opened it, it was full of dried fruit snacks.

Lu Tan stuffed a piece in his mouth and muttered, "Miss, where are we going?" ”

"Just walk around the city." Chu Xi lifted the curtain on the car and looked out, and there were already thinly dressed people begging along the street, and there were quite a few.

The heavy snow in the city has not stopped, although it is not big, but it is also falling little by little, there is no intention to stop, March has arrived, and soon a large number of displaced people will pour in, and now General Yang Lao has relieved the siege of the Eight Princes. Even if he doesn't want to join the partisan dispute, he is afraid that he will be regarded as the Eight Masters Party, and Zhao Xunyan is afraid that he will also take this opportunity to hit the Yang family hard, and hit Zhao Xuanyi, who has now become the prince.

At this moment, in the Xiaoyao Palace, the fire was extinguished, and Zhao Xunyan stood in the study and let Zhenniang scold.

"Who told you to leave the palace and go outside the city? It's good that there is no living mouth, but Zhao Xuanyi and the old emperor must have discovered your ambitions, in this way, what we want to do, we must be restricted everywhere, is this what you want to see! Zhen Niang's tone was cold, she was almost burned to death when she came from the dark passage, if it wasn't for the small door left in the secret passage before, now she is afraid that she has died in Huangquan.

Zhao Xunyan lowered his face: "Someone came to pass the word, I thought it was you"

"When did you become so stupid!" Zhen Niang was furious: "There must be something wrong with that Chu Xi, but the person who went last night doesn't know who it is, you ask someone to check it, in addition." You quickly let Chu Bingsong dispose of her, if Chu Bingsong refuses, you will dispose of the Prime Minister's Mansion for me! ”

Zhao Xunyan raised his head in a little shock: "Chu Bingsong is an old fox, he just hasn't reacted yet, it's not easy to dispose of him" Before he finished speaking, Zhen Niang slapped him in the face, and her slightly raised eyes were full of suspicion: "Why don't you think about getting rid of Chu Xian first!" ”

"She's just a little girl under fourteen"

"Idiot!" Zhen Niang was furious: "I told you a long time ago, Chu Ji is not simple, she is by no means what she seems on the surface, I have asked people to check her, your nunnery stronghold was destroyed, she 'made a lot of contributions', since she returned home, you look at the current Chu family, which one is not played by her, do you really think she is an ordinary person?" ”

Zhao Xunyan was silent, and when Zhen Niang saw this, she sneered more and more: "I really didn't see it." You're such an emotional person. But you can think clearly, whether your mother's hatred is important, or a little girl liar. ”

"I see." Zhao Xunyan raised his eyes coldly and looked at Zhen Niang, Zhen Niang saw him like this, and didn't stay any longer: "I've already made it clear to you, Zhao Xunyan, if you can't do it again, you can't blame me!" ”

"I know."

"And." Zhen Niang paused: "From today onwards, there is no need to keep any of those eyeliners placed in your house." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that his face was different, Zhen Niang coldly raised the corners of her lips, turned her head and left from the secret passage.

Zhao Xunyan looked at the place where Zhen Niang had just sit, his eyes were full of murderous energy, he raised his head slightly, and looked out of the house gloomily: "Come in!" ”

Immediately, an attendant came in, his face was frightened, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes at all.

"What does the prince command?"

"Go and call Jiao Simiao." Zhao Xunyan said in a deep voice.

The attendant responded and was about to leave, but Zhao Xunyan flashed up to him and grabbed his neck with his hand: "Are you afraid of me?" ”

"Subordinates don't dare"

"Humph!" Zhao Xunyan threw the person away, watched him fall on the door and turned around coldly: "It's good to know that you are afraid, and those who don't know how to be afraid will not live long." ”

"Yes, yes" The attendant hurriedly ran away, and after a while, he called Jiao Simiao.

Zhao Xunyan saw Jiao Simiao's broken arm and frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

"I was cut off by my former enemy." Jiao Simiao turned his neck and made a cold sound.

Zhao Xunyan knew that he was vicious and weird, so he only sneered: "This king heard that you have been going to Chu Mansion very diligently these days?" ”

Jiao Simiao hurriedly lowered his head: "I want to meet Miss Chu"

"Oh, yes, it turned out to be Miss Chu, so are you familiar with her?"

Jiao Simiao thought of Merlin's Chu Ji that day, and squinted his eyes slightly: "Very smart and ruthless." ”

Zhao Xunyan's face was slightly gloomy: "You go and check for me, what Chu Xi has done since she came back from the nunnery, check it out for me one by one!" ”

"Yes." Although Jiao Simiao didn't know what he was going to do, he was still very interested in checking a woman.

After sending Jiao Simiao away, Zhao Xunyan remembered that arrogant little face, she clearly pretended to be indifferent to anyone, but she hated herself, could she have any relationship with herself? Thinking like this, Zhao Xunyan quickly flashed a few unfamiliar images in his mind, but the pictures quickly disappeared. He shook his head, remembering Jane's words and her humiliation, and his face was cold. Now that the eldest prince has died early, the old emperor's body is still strong, but Zhao Xuanyi has begun to grow his wings, he can't continue to consume it, and if it continues to consume, he is worried that things will become more and more out of control.

"Come on, prepare the horse, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Although the draft is suspended, it must not be stopped, this year it must be drafted, someone must enter the palace, and there must be his own power in the palace!

Chu Xi walked around the city, stopped in front of the carriage to the Yang Mansion, looked at the dignitaries and nobles coming and going at the gate of the mansion, and only felt a little pity in his heart.

"What is this doing?" Lu Tan watched those people go in and out with boxes tied with red silk in their hands, and couldn't help asking.

Chu Ji said lightly: "The wedding date of the Young General Yang Mansion and Yang Ying has been set, just next month." ”

"What? Yang Ying's unruly and perverse girl is very General Yang! Lu Tan was both surprised and sorry when he heard this.

"Let's go back." Chu Xi lowered the curtain and said no more. Fortunately, Yang Ying is quite obedient to Yang Ci, if Yang Ci can guide him more, the two may be able to live a stable life.

The carriage left, and the young man came out of the gate of the Yang Mansion, watching the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion leave, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Brother Ci, what do you see? Grandmother told me to let you in. Yang Ying saw Yang Ci in a daze at the door, and couldn't help asking.

Yang Ci came back to his senses, collected the emotion in his eyes, nodded, turned around and went into the house.

Seeing him like this, Yang Ying's face was slightly cold: "Who was at the door just now?" ”

The guard guarding the door hurriedly said, "I don't know." Looking at the sign on the carriage, it seems to be a person from the Prime Minister's House. ”

Yang Yingyin bit her silver teeth slightly, her eyes became resentful, and she chased after her.

When Chu Xi's carriage arrived in the downtown area, it suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lu Tan was busy with the posture of protecting Chu Xi.

The coachman who drove the carriage said, "It seems that there is a fight ahead." ”

Chu Xi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and sure enough, there were really three or five people who were kicking and hitting the people on the ground, scolding something while beating.

"Hey, that guy seems familiar." Green Sandalwood was surprised.

Chu Xi looked over, and the person on the ground who hugged his head and begged for mercy was not Qiao Ba.

It didn't take long for the people from the government to come, and the officials dispersed the people, and the beaters not only did not flee, but were arrogant: "This man stole our son's silver, and we beat him, what's wrong?" ”

The official was Han Min's subordinate, and he was also a hard bone, so he snorted: "What's the matter." The government said to go, it's not right to beat people in private, come and bring them back to the yamen with me! ”

"Wait!" Those people hurriedly said: "Do you know who our son is!" ”

"Who?" Someone else asked kindly.

"Hmph, say it and scare you people to death, our son-in-law is the eldest son of the prime minister, I see which of you dares to do it!"

"Hahaha!" The official also laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about, your eldest son has been exiled, I think you are deliberately making trouble." Whoever comes, tie them all back to me! ”

Those people still have to argue, but the officials have already rushed up directly and tied up everyone.

Lu Tan looked at it with joy: "These guys, are they full of water in their heads?" ”

Chu Xiwaner: "It seems that Qiao Ba has been targeted, Chu Qitai should be doing it in the next few days, you are ready." ”

"Don't worry, make sure that Lord Han catches one by one!"

When Chu Ji returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Xunyan also happened to arrive.

Chu Xi frowned almost invisibly, and was about to leave when she saw the salute from afar, but was stopped by Zhao Xunyan: "What is Miss Chu doing in such a hurry?" ”

"Naturally, I was in a hurry to go back and embroider the wedding dress." Chu Xi lowered her head.

"Really?" Zhao Xunyan walked over with a sneer. Looking at the little person in front of him, looking at her thin neck, it seemed that he could twist it off as long as he raised his hand, but when he thought that this beautiful neck was going to be broken, he was a little reluctant: "Chu Xi, what are you doing with your head down, raise your head, this king likes to look at your eyes"

Zhao Xunyan's tone was hoarse and ambiguous, and the attendants guarding the door hurriedly lowered their heads.

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth were coldly hooked, and she raised her eyes to look at him lightly: "These words said by the prince are so misunderstood, and the prince will be my brother-in-law in more than two months. ”

Zhao Xunyan saw that she was still full of thorns, and moved closer and closer: "The matter of the two sisters of Empress E's daughter serving a husband together, isn't it also famous?" ”

"I don't dare to compare with Empress E, the prince should also pay attention to it, compare himself with the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you know. The crown prince's canonization ceremony is only possible today. The corners of Chu Xi's mouth raised slightly.

Zhao Xunyan's expression sank suddenly, but he laughed loudly: "Chu Xi, Chu Xi, you are so smart and clever, why didn't you show it earlier, otherwise you wouldn't have ruined the Hou Mansion." If he had known, he would have gone to the emperor to marry her back, and then pulled out the thorns on her body one by one.

Chu Xi was very disgusted by his current gaze, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "The prince is talking about the emperor's marriage, is it absurd and wrong?" ”

Zhao Xunyan saw that she could repeatedly find loopholes in her words to suppress herself, smiled coldly, but grabbed her shoulders, leaned forward, and whispered in her ear: "You will be mine sooner or later, let's see"

Chu Xi only wanted to kill him, but he didn't wait for himself to push him away. He had already gotten up by himself: "Chu Xi, it's better to hide your edge, otherwise, you will stab innocent people." ”

Chu Xi didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, Zhao Xunyan saw that she began to think quickly, turned around and left.

"Miss, what does he mean by that? What does it mean to hurt the innocent? Lu Tan hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Chu Xi took a deep breath gently, but just shook her head helplessly: "You go to Ruyi Fang, please Mei Niang come over." ”

Seeing Chu Xi's serious expression, Lu Tan responded and quickly went to Ruyi Fang.

At this end, Chu Bingsong had just greeted Zhao Xunyan into the study, and his eyes widened in surprise when he heard his words: "What does the prince mean, you plan to do it in these two years?" "According to the previous plan, it would be another three or four years.

Zhao Xunyan stood with his hands in his hands: "Now that Zhao Xuanyi is getting fuller, and there are frequent accidents on our side, this king is worried, and if it drags on, I am afraid that I will regret it." ”

"Then what are you going to do, lord?" Chu Bingsong asked.

Zhao Xunyan chuckled: "First of all, I have to let the newly ascended prince know about the suffering of the people." ”

"Are you going to let the prince leave the capital?"

"What are you doing when you leave the capital, isn't it the best time to leave the capital with heavy snow and a large number of displaced people pouring into the capital?" Zhao Xunyan chuckled: "The best way to break his wings is to let him do it himself!" ”
