Chapter 146: Just a Stepping Stone Add more to the two crystal shoes that Snowflake 637365

The rain in June came and went quickly, and it was still falling, and the sky was sunny when I turned around.

Zhao Yiheng stood outside the palace all night, never saw the emperor, turned around and went to the queen's palace.

The queen also heard what he said, only to know that the emperor had promised his uncle's daughter to Zhao Yiheng, and after listening to him talk about the death of soldiers outside the city, she knew that the emperor had given up on him and chose the crown prince.

"It's all over" The queen remembered her dead son, originally Zhao You was the legitimate candidate for the crown prince, but it was a pity

"This matter can't be left like that, my father must have a purpose in letting me go back to Beijing" Zhao Yiheng saw the disappointment on the queen's face and said busily.

The queen looked at him, suddenly laughed, laughed, and just sighed: "You really don't know the emperor so well." ”

Zhao Yiheng looked at her suspiciously: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Empress Guan'er: "Do you know how the emperor ascended to the throne back then?" ”

Zhao Yiheng's face was slightly gloomy, the queen raised her hand and sent the people in the palace out, and continued to take care of herself: "There were so many brothers in the emperor back then, he was not the eldest son, he was just a lowly little palace life, not to mention the support of any relatives, and later her mother died in the palace battle, and he became a little prince who could be bullied by everyone, powerless and unprotected, but if it weren't for these bullies, he might not have become the decisive king today." The queen said as she spoke, as if recalling the past, and looked at Zhao Yiheng who was standing below: "Originally, I thought that the emperor had found his own shadow in you and wanted to cultivate you, but he didn't think about it, he just used you as a beast fighting in a cage, and the winner can get his mercy, you lose"

Zhao Yiheng looked at her with a cold face: "Impossible, it was my father who acquiesced to me training so many dead soldiers, it was he who asked me to go back to Beijing to compete for the throne, and it was he who let me."

"He won't let you come back, how can you fight with the prince? If you don't fight with the crown prince, how can the original virtuous king transform into a king like the emperor? Your mother is just a cheap maid by Huaiyang's side, do you really think that the emperor will substitute you for himself back then? The queen's tone mocked, she still had a glimmer of hope for Zhao Yiheng, but after knowing that the emperor had privately promised him the daughter of her maternal uncle who had been degraded for her crime without her consent, she had no hope. The emperor did this. What is the difference between giving the daughter of a criminal minister like Xu Jin to the once glorious King Yaoyao? But what is the fate of the King of Freedom now?

Zhao Yiheng still refused to believe it, he didn't believe that he had worked hard for so long, and he lost all the games after one move.

The queen stood up, her tail fingers cocked, and read a string of pearl necklaces in her hand, and with a little force, the necklace broke, and the pearls spilled all over the ground.

Seeing this, the queen smiled indifferently: "Okay, go back, marry your princess with peace of mind, since the emperor is still willing to give you a marriage, it means that as long as you are not like the king of Xiaoyao, he will not kill you." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhao Yiheng looked at her coldly: "What about you?" You have no children under your knees, and your mother's family is powerless, even if the emperor doesn't kill you, will he let you go as soon as the crown prince ascends the throne? Will Concubine Su let you go! ”

"Concubine Su?" The queen was even more disappointed: "Do you think she will live until the crown prince ascends the throne?" ”

"What do you mean?"

The queen sneered: "I have been married to the emperor for decades, and really, I am the one who understands him best." After the queen finished speaking, she left without caring what Zhao Yiheng said.

Coming out of the Queen's Palace, Zhao Yiheng went to the Heart Cultivation Hall again, but unsurprisingly, he was turned away again.

Zhao Yiheng remembered what the prince said, it was the Yan family who betrayed the thousands of dead soldiers, took a hard breath, and walked out of the palace.

The queen was going to rest, but suddenly heard someone report that the Hou Mansion had sent a few palace maids, saying that it was not good to protect the master, and they were sent.

"Which master are they protecting?" The queen leaned on the soft couch and asked lightly.

"Noble Chu."

The queen's body stiffened, if it was before Zhao Yiheng came over, she might have disposed of it, but now, she didn't want to mix it anymore.

There are no children under her knees, but she still has a full family of mothers, she can't make mistakes again and again, since she understands the emperor's intentions, she will not take any more risks. Left and right when the prince ascended the throne, she was still the queen mother, even if the prince didn't take her seriously, she could bear it.

"Send people back to the Chu Guiren Palace." The queen waved her hand, unwilling to say more, and the palace maid saw that she wanted to mention Chu Dai'er's injury, and when she saw that she didn't want to hear it, she swallowed her words.

The prince was dealing with government affairs, but who knew that Li Xiao came in a hurry and participated in the excerpts of the Hou Mansion.

"Are you in the Marquis Mansion?" Zhao Xuanyi's face was cold, and he didn't know what Li Xiao was going to do.

Li Xiao's face was firm, he stood under His Royal Highness, and said: "Yes, Weichen wants to join the princess of the Hou Mansion, and he is not strict in governing the family, so he actually connived at his subordinates to hurt the Chu nobles, and now he is leaving the Chu nobles in the Hou Mansion and not sending them to the palace, which is really too much!" ”

Zhao Xuanyi was stunned, looked at the ministers standing on both sides, turned his head to look at him and said, "You said that the Chu nobles were injured?" ”

"Yes." Li Xiao told the ins and outs of the future, but Chu Xiao couldn't blame Chu Xi for this matter at all, but Li Xiao insisted: "Chu Guiren is a daughter, and now he is injured in the Hou Mansion, how can he still stay in the Hou Mansion, so the minister suggested that he immediately order the princess to send people back to the palace and let the imperial doctor take care of them." ”

Zhao Xuanyi now understood what Li Xiao meant, Chu Dai'er went over this time, I am afraid that she deliberately wanted to stay in the Hou Mansion.

"In this case, the palace will then send people"

"Since Dai'er likes it, let her stay in the Hou Mansion." Zhao Xuanyi was talking, but the emperor's voice suddenly came from the side.

Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly got up and helped him sit down in the hall: "Why did my father come over." ”

"I'm afraid you'll be annoyed by these old stubborns down there, so I'll take a look." The emperor laughed softly and looked at Li Xiao standing below: "You are the first batch to enter the palace test." ”

Li Xiao didn't know that the emperor still remembered him, so he hurriedly gave it up.

The emperor smiled and said, "The matter of the Hou Mansion, I just listened to it later, and it was just a misunderstanding. Daile and the princess are sisters, so if there is any barrier, let them get together. ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face was a little solemn, he knew what kind of person Chu Dai'er was, and she was secretly helping King Xiaoyao.

"Yes, how did you investigate the assassination of the palace banquet before?" The Emperor asked suddenly.

Zhao Xuanyi thought about it, and still said: "It's still investigating, but there are a lot of secret passages found in the palace." One of them points to "

"Ahem" The emperor suddenly coughed violently, coughed for a while before stopping, naturally it was blood on his hand again, and he sighed lightly: "It's old, it's useless." ”

"My father is in his prime"

"Where is there any prime year, the loess is buried to the neck." The emperor chuckled, cleaned his hands and drank tea, and then said: "You continue to look at the excerpts, I don't have to waste this effort, the matter of the secret path you said, you still have to investigate, continue to investigate" After the emperor finished speaking, he leisurely took Gonggong Gao's hand and went out.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at his back, not knowing whether he wanted to find out Princess Huaiyang or not.

"Prince" Li Xiao raised his hand, since the emperor had spoken, Chu Dai'er would definitely not be able to move, and he still had to tell Chu Xi about this matter.

Zhao Xuanyi sighed lightly: "You go first." ”

"Yes." Li Xiao hurriedly saluted and left, got into the carriage and hurried to the Hou Mansion.

Chu Ji was sitting in the flower hall at this time, and Yun Songyi was on the side: "Sister Xi'er, the weather is good today, let's go out for a walk?" ”

Chu Xi shook her head and looked at her fixedly: "Zheng Yun will marry you in the near future." I've prepared a few Zhuangzi shops for you, so go and have a look. ”

Yun Songyi's face turned crimson: "I'm not in a hurry, I have to stay here to protect you." Lu Tan is not here, Xiao Fu'er has become a wounded soldier again, how can you do without anyone around you, you are still pregnant with a child. ”

Seeing that she was so worried, Chu Xi raised her hand and touched her stomach, which had not yet reacted, and chuckled, "It's going to be fine." "I remembered the signature that the abbot master gave him, he said, 'Everything in the world arises from fate, and everything in the world is destroyed by fate, and this life is another life, and this is destroyed', the fate of his rebirth is the person in his previous life, and he was able to marry Lin Qingyu, which also benefited from rebirth, but now those people in the previous life are dying one by one, this life and that life, this and this extinction, she thought, if this child is fate, he will always stay, if he can't stay

Chu Xi didn't think about it anymore, just as Yan Yi had news, the cause of the abbot's death had been found out, not a death, but a poisonous insect.

When Chu Xi heard this, her body was a little weak: "It's from southern Xinjiang"

Yan Yi looked at Chu Xi worriedly: "It's the King of Freedom"

Chu Xi remembered what he said before, he said that he dreamed of his previous life, and he thought that it was not only so, but he also went to find the abbot master who had already seen through his past life and this life for verification.

"Anything else?" Chu Xi continued to ask.

Yan Yi thought for a while and said, "We found out that this master, before he became a monk, he seemed to be a person from the capital, but he was a young monk, and after he became a monk, he rarely came to the capital. ”

"It's not surprising that it's from the capital." Yun Song Yi Dao.

Yan shook his head and said: "But the strange thing is that we only found out that he was from the capital, and his other information seemed to have been erased, and there was no trace of him." ”

When Chu Xi heard this, he also felt strange, but he didn't think there was any conspiracy hidden in this matter, so he said: "Don't worry about this place for now, you should keep an eye on the movement of the capital first, all the dead soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing have been killed, if the five princes are forced to be in a hurry, I am worried that there will be a fight." ”

"Fighting? Is it so serious? Yun Songyi said in astonishment.

Chu Xi smiled faintly: "It's so easy to give up obsession." "Zhao Yiheng suffered so much when he was young, endured so much hatred, and when he first returned to the capital, he was also full of ambition, thinking that the emperor was helping him, but if he found out that the emperor was just a stepping stone for the prince, how could he not go crazy.

"That's it, let's not talk about it so much, it's just my guess, you let people stare at it first, and if there is any change, report it immediately." Chu Ji admonished.

"Yes." As soon as Yan received the order to retreat, Li Xiao came outside.

Li Xiao told the emperor what he meant, and Chu Xi listened, and became more and more unaware of what the emperor was going to do.

"Princess Shizi, does Chu Guiren have to stay in the Hou Mansion?" Li Xiao was also a little worried, he had followed the prince for so long and married Lu Ya, how could he not know what kind of person Chu Daier was.

Chu Xi glanced at him and said lightly: "I will think again." It doesn't matter if she doesn't leave, now that there is no one for her in the Hou Mansion for the time being, she can't set off the storm. ”

Li Xiao bowed his head and said: "By the way, after the prince heard about the past two days, he has already begun to prepare for a search and arrest in the whole city, and the capital should be chaotic during this time, you have to be careful." ”

Chu Ji bowed her head, the whole city search and arrest was exactly what she wanted, otherwise it would not be safe for Zhao Xunyan and that group of people to hide in the capital forever.

"I'm tired of Cousin Xiao this time." Chu Xi got up and said.

Li Xiao hurriedly laughed: "It's okay, by the way, Luya knows that you are pregnant, and I want to come and see you, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Later." Chu Ji said, watching Li Xiao mention the green sprouts, there was love in his eyes, and he also raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction: "When the matter of the Jiang Mansion is over, she will come over." "Jiang Fan's first seven days are approaching, the prince is ready to make a move on the Jiang family, and the Jiang family must have noticed it, and they will definitely find ways to take Yao'er away as a talisman during this time.

Li Xiao nodded, looking at Chu Xi, a little distracted. Now that I have changed into a meager spring shirt, my body looks even more slender, but in this slender body, there is a powerful soul hidden, invincible and invincible!

After sending Li Xiao away, Chu Dai went to see Chu Dai'er, Chu Dai'er had already woken up, as if she was waiting for her to come over, but Chu Dai didn't expect that one day Chu Dai'er would open her mouth to cooperate with her.

Chu Xi sat on the stool next to the bed, and all the maids were guarding outside, the window was open, and a warm wind blew in, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Chu Dai'er leaned on the side of the bed and looked at her, her face was calm and waveless, and she looked like she had been quiet for years, but she hated it because she was like this!

"I have no great enmity with you, so why not cooperate?"

Chu Xi held the soup spoon's hand and paused slightly, and did not respond, the death of Shen's mother, the death of Jiang's mother, the death of Bai Xue, and even she didn't know if she was all contributing to the trouble, how could it be said that there was no great enmity between them.

Seeing Chu Xi's silence, Chu Dai'er was not angry, but laughed: "Presumably you also know my life experience, I won't be at the mercy of them like this!" Chu Dai'er had hatred in her eyes.

Chu Xi looked at her lightly: "What do you want?" Kill Zhao Xunyan, kill the person behind you? ”

"Yes!"

"But how can I trust you?" Chu Xi stood up, stepped up and opened the window on the other side, the sun outside was just right, and the lawn was so green that it made people feel calm: "What kind of person are you, I can't know better, cold-blooded and ruthless, ruthless methods, I cooperate with you, isn't it seeking skin with the tiger?" ”

Chu Dai'er knew that she didn't believe in herself, so she only sneered: "Do you think you have a choice?" If you don't cooperate with me, sooner or later they will kill the Hou Mansion Manmen, kill the Yang family you care about, and kill you! ”

"I will protect my people, but cooperate with you" Chu Xi turned around, with the light on her back, but she saw the calculation in Chu Dai'er's eyes clearly: "Never!" ”

Chu Dai'er gritted her teeth, and when she saw that she refused, she didn't mention it anymore, but laughed: "Chu Xi, don't think I don't know your secret." ”

Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, and she said lightly: "Really?" ”

"Since you came back from the nunnery, your temperament has changed greatly, and the entire Chu Mansion has been destroyed in your hands."

"My sister is overrated, the Chu Mansion is ruined, and you have a share of credit." Chu Xi smiled lightly.

Chu Dai'er looked at her with a non-salty and non-salty look, and the smile on her face retracted: "I have told you countless times that 'you will regret it', and now it is still this sentence, when you are about to die, I will come to you in person to listen to you say this to me!" ”

Chu Dai slowly approached her, and Chu Dai'er shrank back: "What do you want to do?" ”

Chu Xi walked to the side of the bed and stood still, looked at the panic in her eyes, and chuckled: "You are in my place now, since you know that I dare to kill, why do you think I dare not kill you?" It's a big deal to set up an assassin to make trouble in the Hou Mansion, if you die, you will die, if the emperor dares to hold me responsible, I will let people spread the news that you are the emperor's daughter, do you think the emperor will come to investigate my trouble? ”

"You won't" Before Chu Dai'er finished speaking, Chu Xi had already grabbed a dagger in her hand and put it on her neck: "Never bet on whether I will do anything, kill, don't think that only you can." Chu Dai's tone was cold, and she looked at her with panic in her eyes, so she slowly withdrew the dagger, turned around and walked away, and just said calmly before going out: "In the past, Chu Dai'er was not afraid of anything, but now Chu Dai'er is afraid of death, because once you die, those people will take advantage of your lifelong revenge, and you will never be able to revenge it again."

"Chu Xi!" Chu Dai'er's voice became sharper, Chu Dai'er didn't stop walking out of the room, and all the smiles on her face fell, leaving only indifference: "Watch here, no one is allowed to approach, and no one inside is allowed to come out!" "Since she's coming, let's come! Even though she now has to take care of the overall situation for the prince, as long as she dares to do it, she will not care about the prince's overall situation!

At this time, in the palace, the atmosphere became extremely dull, and the sun was clearly shining in the sky, but the people below only felt stuffy.

The emperor looked at the person in front of him, and the folds in the corners of his eyes seemed to be more: "Huaiyang, you have also grown gray hair"

Jane Niang stood indifferently on the side: "I thought you would never come." ”

"The last time I came." The emperor laughed, his voice hoarse and weak, as if he would break his breath at any moment: "The prince has already discovered you, you have been making trouble for so many years, you should have made enough trouble." ”

When Zhen Niang heard this, her fingers tightened slightly: "What, do you want to kill me?" ”

The emperor looked up at her and smiled, "How could I kill you?" It's just that after so many years, I'm tired, and I didn't kill him because of you. ”

"I know." Zhen Niang sneered: "Because he holds military power, you can't allow him to overshadow his master." ”

The emperor raised his eyes to look at her, stood up with his father-in-law's hand, and slowly approached her: "Since you know, why do you still know?"

"But you still killed him, and put me under house arrest, the world praises you as a wise man, but no one knows that you are the biggest demon in the world!" Zhen Niang looked at his heavy steps that he couldn't move, looked at the dead air lingering on his face, and for some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.

The emperor sighed lightly, walked up to her and wanted to raise his hand to pull the hair scattered in her ears, but Zhen Niang opened his hand fiercely: "Don't touch me!" ”

Gonggong Gao looked at the emperor worriedly, but he seemed relieved and laughed: "You clean up and leave." As he spoke, he asked Gonggong Gao to take out a piece of gold order: "Take it and you can get out of the palace, there is a carriage prepared outside the city, enough for you to have food and clothing in this life, leave here." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he went out with Gonggong Gao.

Zhen Niang looked at the token in her hand, clenched it tightly, and turned to look at him suddenly: "If you don't die for a day, I won't leave for a day!" ”

"Do you really hate me so much?" The Emperor paused, but did not look back.

Zhen Niang looked at his already rickety back, already pale hair, hated for so many years, she no longer knew whether she hated in her heart or not, but she still said: "Yes, I hate you, I wish you died now, and you were cut to death by five horses!" You ruined my life! ”

The emperor's old eyes were cloudy. But he only laughed on his face: "Since you have refused to forgive me for so many years, then it's okay, you hate it, as long as you leave the palace, leave these rights and wrongs, and live the rest of your life well." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Jane wanted to catch up, but her stubbornness and pride made her stand still, with a thousand words in her throat, and in the end it only turned into the most vicious curse!

A person came out of the side hall, looked at her, and saluted carefully: "Princess, there is a letter from outside, saying that I want to come to see you." ”

"When?"

"They say the sooner the better."

Zhen Niang closed her eyes, tears fell, but she only threw the token in her hand: "Come over tomorrow night." ”

"Yes!" The palace maid looked at Zhen Niang: "Princess, you"

"I'm fine, step down!" Zhen Niang said, turned her head back to the room, and waited until there was no one in the dark, and turned out the spiritual seat of the horse that had been secretly worshipping, but she had already lost the slightest feeling, and only threw it coldly on the ground, and the whole person sat on the ground, with empty eyes, as if it had become a bubble for decades in her life.

After Zhao Yiheng returned to the Prince's Mansion, he soon learned the news that Chu Zhenzhen was killed and Yang Ying was snatched away by Chu Xi, and he couldn't help it anymore, so he pulled out his knife and slashed several guards who came and went: "Waste, it's all waste, none of them can be used!" ”

"Fifth prince, now then," the person standing aside asked in horror.

Zhao Yiheng thought of Chu Xilai, this woman, why is she so powerful!

"Inform the dead soldiers raised outside the city to prepare to enter Beijing!"

"Five princes, this time"

"Why, if you don't let them in now, when will you wait? Wait until the people of the Yan Mansion betray me, and wait until the prince finds evidence to arrest me and send me to prison? He didn't think that he had the luck of Zhao Xunyan before, and he could be taken care of by someone like Zhen Niang, if it was really as the queen said, he was just a stone used by his father to sharpen the prince. Then one day you will be killed!

Where did others dare to say more, and nodded again and again: "Let's do it as soon as possible"

"No" Zhao Yiheng thought for a while: "You don't need to be fast, but you must be careful, the prince is now anxious about Zhao Xunyan's affairs, and he won't do it to me so quickly, you guys will bring people secretly, and you can't let anyone find out, understand!" ”

The man nodded again and again, and Zhao Yiheng kicked him out, thinking about it, but he felt that there was only one way to retaliate, the Yan family dared to calculate themselves, so wait to collect the corpse!

At night, Chu Xi was having dinner with Yun Songyi, and outside he saw Zheng Yun running over in a hurry with someone.

Yun Songyi was happy when he saw him, but looking at his calm face, he was a little worried: "What's wrong?" ”

Zheng Yun took a deep look at Yun Songyi, gritted his teeth, and said, "Princess, the fifth prince sent someone to Yan's Mansion this afternoon to propose to Yi'er. ”

Chu Xi was slightly stunned: "Didn't the fifth prince get married by the emperor?" ”

"He's asking for a side concubine." Zheng Yun couldn't hide his anger, he was going to find an opportunity to talk to the crown prince, but he didn't want the fifth prince to speak first.

"The Yan family agreed?" Yun Songyi hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked.

Zheng Yun's face was pale, and he looked at her fixedly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he still nodded: "Yes, the eldest master of the Yan family quickly agreed." ”

Yun Songyi's eyes suddenly turned red: "I don't want to marry the fifth prince of Laoshizi, it's a big deal that I run away from marriage and go to the rivers and lakes!" ”

"What kind of rivers and lakes are you wandering, you have a daughter's house, you don't know how dangerous the rivers and lakes are!" Zheng Yun said busily.

Yun Songyi's nose was sour, and he glared at him: "Is it possible to marry the five princes?" ”

"Of course not!" Zheng Yun also said angrily, the two of them were slightly stunned, both blushed, and opened their eyes to each other.

Xiao Fu'er was also stunned on the side: "These five princes don't marry early or late, why did they choose this time?"

Before Xiao Fu'er finished speaking, someone from the Yang Mansion came again, saying that Zhao Yiheng sent someone to the Yang Mansion again to ask to marry Yang Ying, the young lady of the Yang family.

It was Yang Qianxiu who came over in person, and as soon as he arrived in the house, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and after talking to Chu Xi, he said: "The Fifth Prince has already let people spread the news, saying that Ying'er has lived in the Fifth Prince's Mansion for many days, and he already has him" Yang Qianxiu gritted his teeth: "Although it is nonsense, Ying'er also has a marriage contract, but he is like this, it is really difficult for people to refuse." ”

"He's being pushed." Chu Ji said, got up and took everyone to the inner room, and asked people to guard the outside, and then said: "I think the emperor has already selected the prince, and he also knows that he is just a stepping stone for the prince." ”

Xiao Fu'er brought the tea up, didn't dare to say more, and stood on the side carefully.

Zheng Yun's face was pale, and his iron fist was clenched tightly: "Did he do this to take revenge?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head: "It's indeed revenge, and the other one is to drag people into the water and hide people's eyes." Chu Ji said and looked at Zheng Yun: "He should know about you and Yi'er, no matter how he tosses and says about this matter, don't show up, don't be impulsive." ”

Zheng Yun gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table: "What a fucking grievance!" ”

Yang Qianxiu also understood what was going on, and said: "Ying'er is going to die or live at home now, and I can't help it, so I came to ask you how to do it." ”

Chu Ji looked at Zheng Yun and said, "The emperor has given marriage to the five princes, can the wedding date be set?" ”

Zheng Yun is a spirit. Busy said: "Not yet." ”

"Well, let's talk about it when the wedding date comes down, even if it is done now, it will never be possible to let the side concubine pass in front of the main concubine, and then you will use this prevarication." Chu Yi said, Zhao Yiheng is not a stupid person, he doesn't just want to marry two women and go back to take revenge, he made a big deal all of a sudden, just to confuse people's eyes, he must still be planning something behind his back, such as the remaining dead soldiers who were found out at the beginning.

Zheng Yun still felt uneasy: "How long can this drag on?" If the emperor decrees that the marriage will be completed on the same day, wouldn't that be"

"Okay, Sister Ji'er can't kill the five princes." Yun Songyi looked at Zheng Yundao, who was in a hurry, and after saying that, he turned his head to look at Chu Ji again: "Sister Xi'er, it's really not good, I'd better run away, I don't care if the Yan family is dead or alive, I just want my mother to live." ”

Chu Xiwaner. Seeing that she looked like she had clear red eyes and was still pretending to be calm, she felt that she was really sensible: "Don't plan these things first, Zheng Yun, you have to remind the crown prince to pay attention to the situation outside the city, the fifth prince will not be in such a hurry, but the emperor's health is getting worse and worse."

"I know." Zheng Yun knew what Chu Xi was worried about, the crown prince's foundation was not stable now, once the emperor died, not to mention the five princes, Zhao Xunyan lurking in the capital and the ill-intentioned people from southern Xinjiang would also take the opportunity to cause trouble, not to mention the small countries on the border.

Zheng Yun looked at Yun Songyi: "You come outside with me." "He must educate her well, he has to go to the rivers and lakes at every turn, the rivers and lakes are so sinister, fighting and killing all day long, she is a delicate little lady, and she must not be skinned and dismantled when she goes out.

"I'm not going" Yun Songyi looked at him with a serious look on his face, and was a little timid in his heart.

"Are you going or not?" Zheng Yun was annoyed.

Yun Songyi took a look, Fang Cai's cowardice was gone, he only felt that his nose was sore and his eyes were sour, he hadn't slept a peaceful sleep in the past two months, and now he was about to be harmed by the fifth prince, he was fine, and he lost his temper at himself.

"I'm not going!"

Zheng Yun looked at the tears in her eyes, she was distressed and anxious, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she simply stepped forward and carried her on her shoulder, and said to Chu Xi: "Concubine Shizi, I'll let her come back after I say a few words to her." ”

Chu Xi smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were crooked: "Okay." ”

Yun Songyi slapped his back violently: "Bearded, bastard, let me down!" ”

Zheng Yun shook the person on his shoulders and went out directly.

After they left, only Yang Qianxiu was left in the house.

Yang Qianxiu was also about to leave, but Chu Xi said: "Yang Ying, you have to keep an eye on it, she remembers Yang Ci too much, in order to save Yang Ci, it doesn't matter if it's true or not, she must do whatever others say, so I'm worried that Zhao Yiheng will take advantage of her and do something." ”

Chu Xi didn't say it too bluntly, but Yang Qianxiu was from the past.

"Mother's body is getting worse and worse these days" Yang Qianxiu looked at Chu Xi, she was getting thinner and thinner, it seemed that after conceiving this child, instead of getting fat, she lost a lot of weight.

Chu Xi's hand holding the teacup tightened: "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”

Yang Qianxiu looked at her nervous appearance, and couldn't bear to tell the truth: "I can still hold on for a while, but I miss you extraordinarily, if you are free, go and see." "For Yang Pei's debt, she always wants to make up for it on Chu Xi, but how to make it back, especially when Chu Bingsong died, the cause of Yang Pei's death that came out was already a heavy blow to her.

Chu Xi personally sent Yang Qian out of the Hou Mansion, and after seeing him get into the carriage, he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his throat, he didn't say anything, so he had to watch the carriage leave.

"Miss, are you alright?" Xiao Fu'er saw that her face was a little pale and asked.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." With that, he turned around and went back.

Lin Qingyu hadn't heard from her for a few days, she was a little worried, he kept saying that Pei County was not dangerous. But how could it not be dangerous?

Back in the courtyard, Yao'er ran over on her little short legs, pounced on her and asked softly, "Concubine Shizi Niangniang, can we go to see my mother tomorrow." ”

Chu Xi counted the days, and it was indeed the seventh time for Jiang Fan, and it was also the time when the prince was about to make a move, and said with a smile: "Yes, does Yao'er miss her mother very much?" ”

"Well, I was still dreaming yesterday, and I dreamed that my mother talked to Yao'er directly, although she didn't care about Yao'er after she was pregnant with her younger brother."

Chu Xi looked at her lost little face and said with a smile: "How can there be a mother in the world who doesn't love her children, your mother is just too tired to be pregnant with a child, so she neglected Yao'er." Chu Xi took her hand and walked inside, walking and walking, the cold gaze of Dawson before reappeared, and when she turned around vigilantly, she saw a black shadow flashing.

"Concubine Shizi, what's wrong with you?" Yao'er asked.

Chu Xi looked at the place just now, there was only a small forest left, and the trees were densely branched, which was a good place for Tibetans.

"Someone."

"What does the princess command?" Someone came over immediately.

Chu Xi pointed to the woods: "What's the point about those trees?" ”

"Exquisite?" The man thought for a while: "It's not exquisite, it's just that this tree was planted by Mrs. Hou herself." ”

When Chu Ji heard this, she dispelled the idea of cutting them all, but she had a plan in her heart, took out the bell on her waist, and said, "Go and prepare a hundred such bells and hang them among the branches, but whenever there are birds and beasts flying by, I will hear the sound of bells." ”

The man didn't know why Chu Xi did this, but he didn't question it, and went down to give the order in response.

"Little bell" Yao'er was very happy to see the bell, Chu Xi squatted down and squeezed the string of bells on her wrist: "Give it to Yao'er." ”

Yao'er looked at Chu Xi in front of her, her eyes were gentle, just like her own mother, she raised her hand to wrap her neck around Chu Xi, and her little face rubbed between Chu Xi's neck: "Yao'er likes the princess the most." ”

When Chu Xi heard this, she laughed, but she only sighed that the child was really the purest existence in the world.

"Okay, let's go back, get ready, and go see your mother tomorrow."

"Hmm!" Yao'er nodded happily and left with Chu Xi.

When Chu Xi saw Yun Songyi, her lips were slightly red and swollen, and even Xiao Fu'er saw what was going on, lowered her head and smiled secretly.

Yun Songyi was annoyed and ashamed, sitting in the flower hall holding a teacup and trying to cover his face, but there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and finally said in shame: "This shameless bastard, sooner or later, one day"

"You're going to marry him." Xiao Fu'er hurriedly answered.

Yun Songyi was stunned, and his face turned red.

Chu Xi laughed and said, "You go back to the Prince's Mansion first and appease your mother, I'm worried that the people from the Yan Mansion will go back to you soon." ”

"What do they ask me to do"

"Since I promised you to the fifth prince, what did you say I was looking for?" Chu Xi boiled.

Yun Songyi figured it out, and only gritted his teeth with hatred: "Do they still have the face to take us back?" When they came, I beat them up, and I don't care about these discredited people now. ”

"Well, when the time comes, you can beat as hard as you can." The five princes on the left and right are planning to make things bigger, and they don't want people to pay attention to what he is really doing, so help him!

Early the next morning, Chu Xi packed up and prepared to send Yao'er to Jiang's Mansion, but Jiang's Mansion came early and wanted to pick Yao'er up alone.

"The princess. This is the first seven of Fan'er, and the people who go are close to their families."

"The princess is my family!" Yao'er hurriedly grabbed Chu Xi's hand.

Ning glanced at her, and saw that Yao'er, who was originally obedient, actually knew that she had resisted, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Little county lord, don't you want to see your mother?" ”

"Of course I'll see"

"Then let's go with my aunt." After that, he stepped forward and hugged Yao'er in his hand and took the opportunity to say, "If you don't go now, you won't be able to see your mother for the rest of your life." ”

When Yao'er heard this, she instantly fell silent.

Chu Xi stepped forward, and the people of the Jiang Mansion immediately stopped her: "Concubine Shizi, this is the Jiang family's housework, you are a noble body, and now that you are pregnant with a child, it is better not to be contaminated with bad luck, otherwise your child has three longs and two shorts, and our Jiang Mansion can't afford to be responsible!" ”

Chu Xi's face was slightly condensed, looking at the almost arrogant Ning family, what did they want to do!

Yao'er was stuffed into the carriage, Ning glanced at Chu Xi, quickly got into the carriage and left.

"Miss, where is the identity of the little county lord, they shouldn't dare to do anything to the little county lord, besides. They are also relatives of the little county lord. Xiao Fu'er comforted.

"Sometimes your relatives suck your blood and bones, but you can't tell the bitterness." Chu Xi sighed lightly and looked at the string of bells that fell to the ground not far away, which she had only put on for Yao'er yesterday.

Chu Xi stepped forward to pick up the bell, but her stomach began to churn again, she didn't know why, this child seemed to be making trouble early, which made her feel sad and uncomfortable from time to time.

"Miss, are you alright?" Xiao Fu'er hurriedly ran over, Chu Xi grabbed the bell and looked at it in his hand, and said, "No, we still have to go over." ”

"But if we go, we may not be able to enter the Jiang Mansion, and you are pregnant with a child now, in case there is a bump or something"

Chu Xi turned her head and asked someone to prepare the carriage, and ordered someone to tell the prince about it, so she turned her head and got into the carriage and chased forward, but someone had already been ambushed on her way, and it seemed that she didn't want her to catch up with the person in front.

Listening to the sound of hand-to-hand combat outside, Xiao Fu'er stopped in front of Chu Xi in a panic: "Miss, let's go back, it's too dangerous outside." "The Assassins dared to come out in broad daylight. Even if they catch up with the people in front, they are afraid that they will not be able to take away the little county lord.

Chu Xi's face was slightly gloomy, since the Jiang Mansion had made so many preparations, it meant that they had already expected that the prince would make a move today, and Yao'er would definitely not be safe if she was taken away by them.

"Turn around and go the other way!" Chu Ji said busily.

The carriage jolted in the other direction, but there was no doubt that there were assassins guarding the same, but these assassins didn't seem to be killing Chu Xi, they just wanted to catch them alive.

After all, the guards brought with them were invincible with two fists and four hands, and this endless stream of assassins caught them off guard, and some assassins stepped forward and directly split Chu Xi's carriage.

Xiao Fu'er was startled, turned around and blocked in front of Chu Xi, seeing that the sword was about to stab down, Chu Xi pulled Xiao Fu'er and flipped directly to the side, both of them rolled to the ground, but narrowly avoided the stabbing sword.

The leader seemed to find out that he wanted to kill Chu Xi with his sword, came over and stared at him coldly, put away the sword and raised his hand to catch Chu Xi, Chu Xi pushed Xiao Fu'er away, and was busy about to knock on the purple jade bracelet in his hand, but before she could do it, the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her up fiercely to take it away.

Just as Xiao Fu'er picked up the wooden plank on the ground and was about to smash it at the assassin, a cold light flashed in the air, and he saw a cold sword piercing directly into the man's heart, and the sword was fatal.

Xiao Fu'er opened her mouth and froze in place, Chu Xi looked up, but she came over in white, and before she could see clearly, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist, taking her back a few steps, dodging the long sword in front of her, and ending the life of the assassin in front of her with her backhand.

"Lord Shizi!" Xiao Fu'er saw the face of the person who came and shouted in surprise.

Everyone was stunned, and the remaining black-clothed people saw that it was Lin Qingyu, and directly collected the team and evacuated, but the princess who had just bullied Lin Qingyu, how could it be so easy to get out!

"Don't leave a mouth alive!" After Lin Qingyu finished his cold voice, he looked at Chu Xi who was surprised in his arms, and pretended to be annoyed: "Now that you have a body, why are you still running outside, if the child is gone, do you know how much suffering you have to suffer!" "Women's childbirth is a big event, and if you don't have a child halfway, how much vitality will you lose! She was already weak, what would he do if there was a good one.

Chu Ji looked at him and saw that he was more worried about himself than about the child, and said, "How do you know that I won't be safe for my mother and daughter?" ”

Lin Qingyu saw that she didn't admit her mistake, and he didn't care much about her anymore, so he just hugged her in his arms and said, "Fortunately, I knew that you were pregnant and rushed back in time." "If that person took Chu Xi away, he would hate him to death, and he wouldn't be able to recover the harm that those people did to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi understood that his heart was palpitating, and said, "It's going to be fine, you're here." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu laughed helplessly and gently stroked her hair: "Okay, go back with me." ”

"No, I'm going to find Yao'er."

"Yao'er? Zhao Yao'er, the prince's daughter? Lin Qingyu asked.

Chu Ji bowed his head and briefly explained Fang Cai's situation and his own conjecture, and Lin Qingyu nodded: "I'll go with you." ”

"Good!"

Chu Ji responded, and saw someone coming: "Lord Shizi, the person we brought back"

"Later." After that, he grabbed Chu Xi and chased forward.

The man was stunned, looked back at the person who had just entered the city and rode a horse, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Han, this time you are secretly returning to Beijing, do you want to go to see the prince first?" ”

Han Min looked at the blood all over the ground through the black veil hat, and said, "No need, go directly to the palace and ask to see the saint!" ”
