Qiao Ba walked and walked, always feeling that someone was following him, but when he turned around suddenly, he couldn't see anything, and couldn't help but spit out: "Niang Xipi's, it's really unlucky." ”

"Yo, Master Qiao is back." A few people came out of the alley, and Qiao Bayi saw that they were familiar with each other, and smiled: "Hmph, what can those gangsters do with me?" He lied to me that it was Chu Qitai, who was the son of Raush, hmph, that guy had already been exiled, maybe he had died on the road"

A few people laughed, saw scratches on their faces, and asked, "Fighting again?" ”

"No, I was scratched by a woman." Those people said: "Yesterday, I saw an old woman who asked for food to buy medicine in the shop, and the shot was an ingot of ten taels of silver, and the brothers were going to go up hehe, you know, who knew that the woman was biting and scratching like crazy, and muttering that the silver was exchanged for her life, and her rotten life was worth ten taels?" ”

Qiao Ba also followed the discussion for a while, and looked at the mouth of the alley: "Let's go drink?" It's better to go to the bad luck on the body. ”

"Okay, after drinking and eating meat, let's find a few more girls," the few said as they walked back, and the tavern was on the other side of the alley. However, before a few people walked out of the alley, they heard a voice with murderous intent.

"It was a few of you dogs who broke my leg in the first place?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other: "This is Chu Qitai's voice?" ”

The mouth of the alley limped out of the person, and everyone looked fixedly, except for the extra beard on his face, wasn't this the exiled Chu Qitai!

"You weren't exiled?" Qiao Ba blurted out.

Chu Qitai snorted coldly, approaching a few people step by step, and behind him were a large group of family members with bright and dangling big knives.

"You all go to hell, grandpa and I won't be exiled!" Chu Qitai looked at Qiao Ba, whose face was bruised, and smiled: "Why, you don't seem to want to see me come back, how good you said you were killed yesterday." I don't have to go out myself. ”

Qiao Ba swallowed his saliva and took a few steps back: "Chu Qitai, I warn you, if you dare to kill me, the people in the government will definitely find you"

"What about discovering me? My father is the prime minister of the dynasty, what do you think they can do to me? Chu Qitai sneered confidently: "You are a Diao Min, and you dare to fight with me, today Grandpa will teach you what it means to torture people!" ”

"Come on, get them all for me!" Chu Qitai gave an order, and the first dozen or so people with knives rushed up.

When Qiao Ba saw this battle, he was so frightened that his legs went weak: "Big Prince, it wasn't me who broke your legs, it was someone" Before Qiao Ba finished speaking, he felt that something hit him the back, and he pounced on Chu Qitai with an unsteady steady.

Chu Qitai was startled, grabbed the knife in the hand of the person next to him and stabbed Qiao Ba, and in an instant, Qiao Ba's body was pierced by the sharp blade.

Everyone was stunned, none of them wanted to kill people here, at most they wanted to cripple and take them back for secret disposal.

"Master, what should I do?" Someone asked.

Chu Qitai swallowed nervously: "Go, go back, go back!" After that, he was about to run back when he mentioned the corner of his clothes, but when he came out of the alley, he saw people from the government running this way.

Chu Qitai changed direction and continued to run, but the dozen or so people with knives behind him were really eye-catching.

"Stop!" Under the leader's order, several amateur Jiading and Chu Qitai were surrounded in an instant.

The leader naturally recognized Chu Qitai, and when he saw his face, he was stunned for a moment, and then after seeing his dodging appearance, he determined that this person was Chu Qitai.

"Everyone, arrest me! Especially the leader of this one, tie me strong! ”

When Han Min heard that Chu Qitai was arrested, he didn't believe it at first, and then he believed it when he saw the face that he couldn't forget no matter what.

"My lord, what should I do? Why don't we serve him well first, so that someone will save him again! The official asked.

Han Min is still quite sensible: "No, go and prepare pen and ink, I want to go directly to the book and ask the saint!" "Now that the emperor has just lost his beloved son, knowing such a thing, he will never spare Chu Qitai, let alone Chu Bingsong, who is manipulating behind the scenes.

"Yes!" The officials hurriedly went to prepare, and Han Min also turned to leave, but he didn't notice that after someone in the government heard the news, he hurriedly found an excuse to go out.

Zhao Xunyan listened to the words of his subordinates back and forth, and the qin in his hand paused slightly: "Are you sure it's Chu Qitai?" ”

"Absolutely."

The corners of Zhao Xunyan's mouth hooked up a hint of sarcasm: "Chu Bingsong is really old, he actually did such a stupid thing." ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do then?" The person below asked.

Zhao Xunyan raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding scene, and said lightly: "We don't have to do anything, you go and tell Chu Bingsong the news, and ask him if he wants a son, or the entire Chu Mansion." ”

"Yes."

The man hurriedly retreated, Zhao Xunyan looked at the snow in front of the window, the smoke of the incense burner rose, it was like the green silk of Chu Xi's girl, the red plum in front of the window, and the wind and bones were also proudly like Chu Xi's, the wind, the snow, and the scene in front of the window looked like her everywhere.

Zhao Xunyan got up and folded the red plum, and took it in his hand to enjoy it carefully: "Sooner or later, you are also mine"

His tone was light but very determined, and when others looked at his affectionate eyes, they also noticed a bit of murderous aura, which made people shudder.

Lu Tan walked around the city again, and then went back, and when he went back, he happened to see that the people from the Xiaoyao Mansion had just entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Tan smiled, and hurriedly went to return to Chu Xi.

When the green sandalwood arrived, Chu Xi was leaning on the side of the warm couch and flipping through miscellaneous books, these were all sent by Mrs. Hou last time, they were all interesting stories and cultural scenery from all over the world, which I had never seen before, and I thought it was recorded by the Hou Ye and his wife when they went out to travel over the years, which was also interesting.

Lu Tan told everything, and Chu Xi put down the book in his hand: "It's interesting now, this problem is in the hands of my father, and I also want to see how he chooses." However, if Chu Qitai is alive, what he says will be more useful, but I am afraid that he will be killed tonight. ”

Chu Xi's tone was a little pity, and Lu Tan looked at her: "Is it because he was killed like this?" ”

Chu Xi continued to read: "You carefully reveal this news to Qin Xue. ”

Lu Tan's eyes lit up: "The slave knows." "Anyway, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and the more ruthless the trouble, the more exciting it is.

Lu Tan left, Chu Xi continued to look at it with relish, but it seems that he has never heard of Lituo Country in this book, and the book only says that it is an island, but I don't know what the scenery of this small island is

Chu Xue's thoughts drifted away, but Qin Xue's place was very lively.

The Huang family came early this morning, and before Chu Zhenzhen said that Brother Hong would enter the Tai Academy today, she wanted to see if it was true. His own son may be able to ask them for help.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at the Huang family a little nervously, because the old lady was also there at this time, saying that she was coming to see Qin Xue.

"Old lady, your brother Hong is really a blessing." Huang said with a smile, but she was not a smooth person, and her speech was dry, and the old lady listened boringly, so she only responded lightly: "Well, he is a blessed one." ”

Huang smiled awkwardly, seeing that he didn't know how to get close, he simply made his words clear: "Old lady, that's the case, my child missed the registration of Tai Academy this year, see if you can help, when the time comes, I will ask the child's father to send you another five thousand taels of silver, just as I bought the dice yesterday."

"What dice?" The old lady was puzzled, Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly pulled up the Huang family and pushed it out: "Uncle, how can you directly talk to your grandmother about this, grandmother is also asking someone to help, isn't it rude for you to say this directly?" ”

Huang felt that what she said was inexplicable, but she kept pushing herself out until she was out of the yard and stopped: "Zhen Zhen, you didn't tell me that at the beginning. You said that as long as you let your uncle pay 30,000 taels to buy your grandmother's pair of dice, you will find a way to let my son also enter the Tai Academy, why now"

Before Huang's words were finished, Chu Zhenzhen directly covered her mouth, and looked back at the little maid ring beside the old lady who came with her: "Uncle, I'll talk about it later." With that, she turned around and stared at the little girl: "What are you doing here?" ”

The little girl was also panicked: "The old lady asked the slave to go back to Ronghua Courtyard to get something." ”

"Oh, yes, what did you hear?" Chu Zhenzhen had killing intent in her eyes.

"Slave slave slave didn't hear anything" The little girl stepped back step by step, but was grabbed by Chu Zhenzhen: "Yes, then you hurry back to Ronghua Courtyard, it's not okay to delay what your grandmother wants." ”

"Yes, yes, slave and maid will go." The girl responded repeatedly, and ran out past Chu Zhenzhen with a step.

Chu Zhenzhen glanced at her mother-in-law who had been following her, and her mother-in-law understood and followed out.

Huang was a little surprised when he saw that Chu Zhenzhen was so ruthless: "Zhenzhen you"

"Auntie, there are some things that Zhen Zhen doesn't want to do, but they are going to harm me, and I can only fight back to protect myself, right? Otherwise, you will be trampled under your feet. Chu Zhenzhen looked at her with a smile.

Huang felt that this niece was really ruthless, and she clearly looked like she was a teenager with a beautiful face, but her mind was so vicious.

Seeing that the Huang family was scared, Chu Zhenzhen said again: "Uncle, the hour is not early, you should go back and rest early, as for the matter of admission, I will ask you more, after all, you are my own aunt, I will definitely take your affairs to heart." ”

The Huang family was cowardly, but they were even more resentful, and Chu Zhenzhen had such an attitude after taking 30,000 taels for nothing.

Huang didn't dare to say more, just looked at her and said, "Then I'll go back first." With that, he hurried away.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at her back as she fled a little desolately, snorted lightly, and turned her head back.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Mother Jiang with a slightly gloomy face at the door, and Chu Zhenzhen immediately smiled: "Mother Jiang, why did you come out too?" ”

Mother Jiang stepped forward and saluted: "Did you see the maid ring who just went out to get something?" ”

"See." Chu Zhenzhen replied calmly: "I was talking to my aunt when I saw her go to Ronghua Courtyard. ”

"Yes, I thought she heard some secret about the second miss, otherwise how could she run so fast, I asked her to come out and wait for me for a while, but she disappeared all at once. My little niece is honest, if there is anything that offends the second miss, I hope the second miss will include more. Mother Jiang said respectfully.

Chu Zhenzhen was slightly stunned, that little girl was actually Jiang's mother's niece.

"Well, I'm not going to bother with her." Chu Zhenzhen said with a smile.

Mother Jiang didn't say more, and after seeing the ceremony, she also went in the direction of Ronghua Courtyard.

Chu Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows in confusion, but she didn't think about it anymore. Turned around and went in.

"Gone?" The old lady's expression was a little cold.

"Hmm." Chu Zhenzhen bowed: "The last time I went back to the Dingguo Mansion, I heard that my aunt often heard some bad things these days, she always had nightmares at night, she didn't rest well, and she always liked to talk nonsense, so I also recommended her to go to Changle Nunnery to incense." ”

"Oh, then the thirty thousand taels she just said"

"It was my uncle who gave me a dowry, and my aunt somehow remembered it wrongly, and always thought that my uncle had bought something." Chu Zhenzhen said hurriedly, with a little panic on her face.

The old lady naturally didn't let go of the slight discoloration on her face, and when she wanted to ask more, she saw a maid hurriedly come in: "Old lady, big lady, it's not good, the eldest son has an accident!" ”

When Qin Xue heard this, she almost didn't jump out of bed: "What's wrong with Tai'er!" ”

The maid hurriedly said: "The slave went to the front yard and listened to the maid in the front yard talking about it, saying that the eldest prince committed murder and was caught red-handed by Lord Han. Now the prince has sent a message to the lord and asked the lord to deal with it himself. ”

"What!" Qin Xue was stunned: "This, what can I do here, hurry, Zhen Zhen, you go and beg your father, beg the prince, Tai'er was caught by Han Min, Han Min will definitely not let him go."

Chu Zhenzhen also panicked and was about to go out, but the old lady had a dark face: "Confused! Tai'er has been caught now, but the entire Chu family has been affected, if he is saved, the Chu Mansion will be over! ”

"Do you want to watch Tyre die like this! Old lady, the Chu family is just this one son-in-law! Qin Xue cried.

The old lady stood up suddenly, staring at Qin Xue with an angry face: "I used to think you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect to be so confused." A woman is married to her husband, and now you think only of your own son, and not of your husband. Don't consider the Chu family, this is a violation of the seven rules, do you know? ”

"But grandmother, eldest brother is your own grandson, you used to love him the most," Chu Zhenzhen also said.

The old lady's face darkened: "I naturally feel distressed, but I know even more that Chu Mansion is more important!" You all stay in the courtyard for me, if anyone dares to go out, they won't have to go back to Chu Mansion in the future! ”

Where was Qin Xue willing to be willing, her two arms twisted strangely and wanted to get out of bed, the old lady frowned when she saw it, and even Chu Zhenzhen took a step back.

"Zhen Zhen, you are a quasi-princess, no one dares to do anything to you, you go and save your eldest brother, he is your own eldest brother!" Qin Xue begged Chu Zhenzhen.

The old lady had a dark face: "Are you going to go out and affect the Chu Mansion and the Royal Mansion?" ”

As soon as Chu Zhenzhen heard that she was going to affect the palace, her steps began to become hesitant.

Just as there was an endless debate here, a girl suddenly ran in from outside: "Old lady." Jiang's mother had an accident. ”

The old lady's face turned slightly pale: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Her niece Xiang'er just went back to the yard to get something, fell into the lake and drowned." After Yahuan finished speaking, she looked at Chu Zhenzhen timidly, and didn't dare to speak with her eyes down.

The old lady's face was cold: "Nonsense, there is no lake on the side of the road back to Ronghua Courtyard, how can it be?"

"When Mother Jiang arrived, there was a mother-in-law by the lake who wanted to escape, and she was caught by Mother Jiang, yes, yes"

"Who is it?" The old lady said coldly.

"It's from the second miss's side." The girl hurriedly knelt down.

Chu Zhenzhen's palms tightened slightly: "You are talking nonsense, maybe my people are trying to save that girl." ”

The old lady glanced at her coldly: "I'll deal with this matter later, you all stay in the courtyard and don't leave a step!" With that, he glanced at Qin Xue again, and then left.

When the old lady rushed to Chu Bingsong's courtyard, he was in a dilemma what to do, if he didn't ask, Chu Qitai's character would not say anything. But if he is allowed to do it himself, after all, he is the son who has been raised for almost twenty years. He also had high hopes before, but he felt that he couldn't do it.

"Tonight, I'll go see Tyre." The old lady said coldly.

Chu Bingsong suddenly understood what the old lady wanted to do, and looked at her in dismay: "Mother"

"If he lives, he will only harm the Chu Mansion, and I am also thinking about the Chu family. We have been poor for several lifetimes to get our current reputation, and if our wealth is ruined because of a rebel, how can we explain to our ancestors and ancestors after their deaths? The old lady said.

Chu Bingsong sighed slightly: "The prince also means this, but let you go, mother."

"Don't worry, Song'er, I'm also a person buried in the loess to my neck, and I'm not afraid to do this evil again." The old lady was ruthless.

Seeing this, Chu Bingsong gritted his teeth, but still nodded.

Chu Xi heard Lu Tan tell him all about the situation, but he seemed to have guessed that this was the end.

"You go to the cell and keep an eye on it." Chu Ji said, now that the emperor has died of his son, Han Min has died of his son because of Chu Qitai, he will definitely pay more attention to this case, if the King of Xiaoyao is involved, Zhao Xunyan will be guilty.

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Lu Tan has always been very excited to do this job, and went out after speaking.

Green Sprout's spirit has improved a lot in the past few days, and she also came to serve in the morning, and with a lively master like Xiao Fu'er, her mood has become relaxed.

Aunt Fu sat on the side and sat at one end with everyone, Xiao Fuer and Green Sprouts embroidered, and she helped everyone clean up the thread.

"In the past, when we first entered the house, we didn't have the good situation we have now, if it wasn't for the young lady's biological mother who brought the dowry money over, where would she be able to afford this meeting." Aunt Fu said casually, and Chu Xi's hand holding the book paused slightly: "Aunt Fu was there when she was building the mansion?" ”

"No, I was a little girl when I came." Aunt Fu said with a smile.

Chu Xi simply put down the book in her hand and said, "Then can you tell me about Chu Dai'er's biological mother?" ”

Aunt Fu thought of Chu Dai'er's biological mother, and sighed again and again.

"That's a pitiful, after giving birth to the fourth lady, Southern Xinjiang was defeated, and the old lady made the decision and poured medicine on her, and the person was gone." Aunt Fu sighed.

"Wait, you said that it was drugged" Chu Ji said slowly, if Chu Dai'er's biological mother was also as proficient in witchcraft as Chu Dai'er, ordinary poison would not poison her

Aunt Fu glanced at Chu Xi and nodded.

Chu Ji said again: "Does that aunt have a name?" ”

"No, since the lord brought her back, he only called Aunt Seven, and the ordinary lord also loves her very much, and it can't be said to be love, it's more like respect, Miss Fourth is also a premature baby, she was born in just seven months, and she has been weak since she was a child." Aunt Fu recalled the original situation, as if she still remembered it vividly.

Chu Xi frowned slightly, I don't know if there is a record of this matter in Ruyifang, but after a few decades, it happened in the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am afraid that even if there is, there is not much information. But based on what Aunt Fu said, Chu Xi could also guess that the origin of this so-called seventh aunt should not be simple, she is not an ordinary southern Xinjiang woman, as for Chu Dai'er's premature birth was born in seven months, it is a miracle that she can survive until now under Qin Xue's strict control.

"Since the death of the seventh aunt, the old lady has also instructed that no one in the mansion is allowed to mention anything related to the seventh aunt, not even the fourth lady." Aunt Fu said, and Xiao Fu'er and Lu Ya were surprised when they heard it.

"There are still such secrets in the house, and I don't even know about this 'bag inquiry'." Xiao Fuer sighed.

Aunt Fu glanced at her with pity: "You can't say anything about this, if Miss didn't ask me today, I would have rotted in my stomach and taken to the coffin together." Aunt Fu said.

"What about the people who served Aunt Seventh in the first place?" Chu Xi continued to ask.

"They were all dismissed by the old lady." Aunt Fu thought: "But"

"But what?"

"I gave the medicine to Aunt Seven. It seems to be Mother Jiang next to the old lady. Aunt Fu remembered: "Mother Jiang should be the only one who knows everything."

"Mother Jiang waits for the old lady all day long, so she doesn't have time to tell us this, maybe she knows that we are talking about this in private, and maybe she will sue us to the old lady." Xiao Fu'er said busily.

Aunt Fu also nodded hurriedly, raised her eyes to look at the thoughtful Chu Ji and said, "Miss, the slave shouldn't have told you this, but knowing that you are a good master, there are some things you should also know." But those who were slightly implicated in this matter were driven out of the house, and now they don't know what their whereabouts are, and the slave feels that this matter is really dangerous, so Miss should not inquire more. ”

Seeing the concern in Aunt Fu's eyes, Chu Xi bowed slightly: "Don't worry." ”

As he spoke, Haruka also returned from outside.

Since she was captured by Chu Zhenzhen last time, and Chu Xi was willing to do things for Chu Zhenzhen in order to save her, she has been dead set on Chu Zhen.

"Miss, Mother Jiang's niece was pushed into the lake by the second miss and drowned." Chunzhi Road.

"What!" Xiao Fu'er was the most surprised, and Aunt Fu just sighed and said pity.

Chu Ji looked at Chunzhi: "What about the old lady?" ”

"The old lady is preparing something else. said that he was going to see the eldest prince in a while. Harueda said.

When Chu Xi heard this, she knew that the old lady was planning to do it herself. They are really ruthless, they thought they were just so ruthless and unrighteous to themselves, and they didn't want to be the grandchildren they once loved the most.

Outside the Jingzhao Mansion

The old lady's carriage had just arrived, and Han Min heard the news.

"The old lady is here herself, but what do you have to explain?" Han Min's expression was indifferent.

The old lady stepped forward with a slightly cold face: "Lord Han worships the four grades, although the old man has no official position, but the Chu Mansion is also a family of first grades, is it too disrespectful for Lord Han to speak?" ”

Han Min was not such a barbaric person, but he hated Chu Qitai to the core, and he didn't like the Chu family's style: "The minister has already given the emperor a fold, I believe that the emperor will soon be sentenced again, as for the old lady, your son is a few officials, and the official doesn't care, but Chu Qitai fled privately after being exiled and killed someone." He was also caught red-handed by his own officials, old lady, he is now on death row, and you can't go to see him. ”

The old lady was slightly stunned, she had to see this person today.

"Lord Han, even if the old woman begs you, let me see Tai'er for the last time" The old lady's tone turned into pleading, but Han Min did not relent, thinking of his innocent young son, thinking of the Chu family who still tried to ignore the law, he was angry in his heart: "You will see you on the execution ground when the time comes." ”

Old Madam Chu saw that he was unmoved, and when she was in distress, a man in a brocade robe walked over.

"The prince has an order, let the old lady go in to see Chu Qitai for the last time." The man said.

Han Min's face was slightly gloomy: "Why does the prince still care about this matter?" ”

The man seemed to have been ready for a long time: "Our prince just passed by here and heard Lord Han's words, although Lord Han is a law enforcement official, he is too ruthless. The law is nothing more than human affection, and it is also human nature for the old man to see his grandson. The emperor governs the country with benevolence, is this how Lord Han enforces the law? ”

Han Min looked angry: "The ministers enforce the law for the people, they are fair and strict, if the prince has to bully and oppress the powerful, the lower officials dare not stop it, please!" ”

The brocade-clothed man frowned slightly, but he didn't say more, and Old Madam Chu couldn't take care of it, so she hurriedly walked in with someone carrying a food box.

Han Min's face was dark, and the people in the carriage not far away saw the scene here and sneered: "This Han Min is too stubborn and pedantic. ”

"Such a hard bone, it looks terrible, but it will break when you knock it, Lord Wang, the trap we set, even if the emperor doesn't treat him, he himself is afraid that he will not let himself live." Bystanders.

Zhao Xunyan's eyes were cold: "Let's go." ”

The Emperor's decree soon came down. ordered the crown prince Zhao Xuanyi to take over the matter, and Chu Qitai was a capital offense according to the law.

Chu Qitai was leaning against the corner of the wall lifelessly, thinking that he would definitely die this time, when he saw the old lady coming, he immediately threw himself to the cell door and shouted: "Grandmother, grandmother, you have come to save me, let them let me out, it is dirty and smelly here, and they will give us glutinous food all day long." Chu Qitai was about to cry, dragging a crippled leg and shouting by the door.

The servant opened the cell door and looked at the old lady coldly: "Go in, but hurry up." ”

The old lady asked someone to hand him a piece of broken silver, and sent everyone away, and then went in with the food box.

"Suffered my child."

Chu Qitai was very excited when he saw the food: "Thank you, grandmother, I'm dying of hunger for the past few days." As he spoke, he took out all the dishes and began to gobble them up.

The old lady pressed the last layer of soup. looked at him with a smile: "You eat slowly, don't worry." ”

Chu Qitai nodded hurriedly, and asked vaguely while eating, "Grandmother, when will you get me out?" ”

Old Madam Chu smiled: "Have they beaten you?" ”

"Not really." Chu Qitai said.

"Oh, I guess I haven't interrogated you yet." The old lady laughed.

Chu Qitai shook his head: "I asked, but I didn't say anything, I'm angry with them haha." Chu Qitai only cared about eating, and he didn't notice the strange color in Old Madam Chu's eyes.

"Hey, this time your father also begged a lot of people, but Han Min wrote to the emperor, and the emperor also lost his beloved son, this time you are afraid that it will be more auspicious."

Chu Qitai was stunned, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Chu: "Grandmother, I don't want to die yet!" ”

Old Madam Chu pulled Chu Qitai: "Tai'er, don't worry, grandmother won't let you be beheaded in the morning." ”

"Thank you, grandmother!" Chu Qitai was full of gratitude: "By the way, there is also that Qiao Ba, who broke my leg." Grandmother, he's in the city, and I don't know if he's dead, you help me catch him, I'm going to kill this guy! ”

"Okay." Old Madam Chu thought about it, and still brought out the bowl of soup below: "Come, you drink the soup first, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while." ”

"Good!" Chu Qitai took it and was about to drink it, but the maid ring beside the old lady couldn't bear to exclaim, and the old lady turned around and glared at her fiercely: "Go out and wait." ”

"Yes." The girl hurriedly responded, glanced at Chu Qitai and hurried out.

Chu Qitai is not a stupid person, he looked at the girl, and then at his grandmother, but the soup bowl in his hand was put down: "Grandmother, this is"

"It's okay, she has never seen the world, you are dark and damp here, where can she stand it as a little girl. The hour is getting late. The soup is almost cold, you can drink it tightly," Old Madam Chu said with a busy smile.

Chu Qitai was a little suspicious when he saw her like this, but he never thought that his own grandmother would come over in person to ask for his life, so he took a sip or two of the soup cup tentatively, but glanced at the old lady out of the corner of his eye. But seeing that the corners of her eyes shrank, the soup cup in her hand quickly fell to the ground and shattered.

The old lady was stunned: "How are you?"

"Grandmother, don't you want to kill your grandson, you are the only grandson of me" Chu Qitai stood up and approached step by step, but the old lady was eyes shrunk: "What nonsense, how can grandmother harm you." ”

"Really?" Chu Qitai's face was puzzled, but the old lady didn't stay longer: "It's not early, grandmother will go back first when she sees that you are fine, and I will come to see you next time." ”

The more Chu Qitai thought about it, the more wrong it became: "Why didn't Zhen Zhen and her mother come, what about Daddy?" Why did you come from your grandmother, who didn't leave the house? ”

The old lady turned her head and left: "You think too much." ”

Chu Qitai looked back at the decoction that fell to the ground, and white foam came out, and although he only drank a few sips, his stomach now began to ache violently: "Grandmother, I'm so uncomfortable."

Old Madam Chu had already walked outside the prison door, looking at Chu Qitai, who was slightly pale and curled up on the ground, her eyes were slightly wet: "Tai'er, you can only blame yourself for being too angry." "If he hadn't had to go back to the capital and kill people on the street, how could he end up like this?

Chu Qitai saw that it was really his grandmother who poisoned him, and his face was grim: "Grandmother, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" ”

When Old Madam Chu heard this, the slightest guilt she had just had disappeared in an instant, and she turned her head and left straight, Chu Qitai could even hear her telling the officials not to come in for the time being.

The news of Chu Qitai's disappearance came out that night, Chu Xi was surprised, but Lu Tan didn't find anything, and after seeing the old lady come out, she followed back.

"Miss, who will save Chu Qitai, will it be the master?" Green Sandalwood guessed.

Chu Xi shook his head slightly: "Chu Bingsong now has an obedient Brother Hong, the abolished Chu Qitai has long been of little use to him, and it is impossible for him to take another risk to save him." ”

"Is that the King of Escape? He secretly rescued Chu Qitai and made him a time bomb for the master, so that he could control the master at any time? Lu Tan continued to speculate, and Chu Xi denied it again: "Zhao Xunyan won't do such a thing, Chu Qitai is also a time bomb for him?" ”

"Who could that be?" Lu Tan couldn't figure it out, he paced back and forth with his chin propped up, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Ah, I know, it's Lord Han Minhan, right, only he has the ability and has a grudge against Chu Qitai, he secretly rescued people back, and then secretly dismantled him to avenge the unjust death of his youngest son!" ”

Chu Xi looked at her with a smile: "You really don't plan to change careers to become a female catcher?" ”

Lu Tan smiled hehehe: "Miss, can you tell me my guess is correct?" ”

"Of course not, Lord Han is the most unlikely to do such a thing, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to write to the emperor and ask the emperor to convict, and Lord Han has an upright temperament, he can't do anything to secretly dismantle people." Chu Ji said.

Lu Tan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment: "Then who else, there are only so many people in the capital, and Qiao Ba is incapable." ”

Chu Xi was also puzzled: "I can only see if there is any news from Ruyi Fang." Chu Xi continued to think, the old lady must have poisoned Chu Qitai before coming back, if Chu Qitai was not dead, with his character, he would definitely hate the old lady Chu to the core. The person who rescued him may have wanted to take advantage of this, so who has such a great hatred for the old lady except himself.

"Could it be her?" Chu Xi asked, and Lu Tan hurriedly turned his head to look at Chu Xi: "Who did Miss say?" ”

Chu Ji's face was solemn, if it was really Chu Dai'er, then she would have absorbed more and more forces.

"Miss, you haven't rested all day long, are you planning to be white-headed?" Xiao Fu'er came in from outside, and the food in her hand was already hungry, and Lu Tan, who was already hungry, couldn't wait to stretch out her hand immediately: "Xiao Fu'er Xiao Fu'er, what are you serving, it's really fragrant." ”

Lu Tan ran behind Xiao Fu'er. Xiao Fu'er snorted: "This is the eight-treasure duck soup that my mother specially stewed for Miss, and the ingredients used are all the best ingredients sent by Mrs. Hou, plus my mother's cooking skills that have never been seen before or since, it is naturally fragrant." ”

Lu Tan didn't care about her tsundere, and smiled: "Then can I taste a little?" ”

Xiao Fu'er looked at her funny: "Sooner or later, you will be harmed by this gluttonous mouth." ”

"Crow's beak." Midori glared at her, but still smiling at the soup.

Green Sprouts came out after him, and brought four small soup cups: "Don't worry, Miss has long known that you are greedy, so let Aunt Fu stew us all." ”

Chu Xi smiled and picked up the soup by herself: "You guys rest here, I'll go back to the room first." Then he got up and went in.

Xiao Fu'er muttered strangely: "Miss doesn't like us anymore, when we eat today, we always bring the food to the room by ourselves." ”

Lu Tan smiled: "You guys think too much." After that, they didn't say more, and several people quickly changed the topic and began to talk lively.

Chu Ji went back to the room and looked at Lin Qingyu, who hadn't woken up yet, after fainting last night. It's always been like this, and occasionally when I wake up, I just grab the medicine and feed it to my mouth, and then I fall asleep.

Chu Xi walked to the side of the bed, looked at the person lying on the bed, looked at his delicate face like a knife, couldn't help but raise his hand and wanted to caress it, but when his hand touched his slippery face, he couldn't help pinching it, it was soft and elastic, the skin was delicate, and the feel was really good!

Chu Xi pinched and pinched, looked at his other face, and involuntarily raised his other hand and pinched it. She didn't know why, as if some magic was manipulating the hands, and she couldn't stop.

Lin Qingyu really couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his eyes and stared at her resentfully: "Xi'er, are you jealous of me?" ”

Chu Xi suddenly came to his senses and looked at his face pinched by himself in embarrassment. Coughed lightly: "You may not believe it when you say it" Chu Xi's expression was slightly cold, she stood up, turned to serve the soup, and asked as if to change the topic: "I saw your injuries last night, and it seems that every knife did not hurt the vital point, but it made you covered in injuries and suffered a lot of flesh and skin, as if it was not the assassin's doing."

Lin Qingyu hurriedly turned his eyes: "It may be that the assassin's skills are not enough, my key point is actually that they can easily hurt it." ”

"Really?" Chu Xi felt a little strange, but he didn't ask any more, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to say it.

brought the soup over and handed it to him: "I know you still have strength in your arm, drink it yourself"

"But I hurt all over my body and can't sit up, I'm, you hug me"

Chu Ji was full of black lines, put the soup on one side, and looked at Lin Qingyu lying on the bed. Leaning forward, his arms wrapped around his upper body, but with a strong force, someone's arms wrapped around her neck, causing her to fall into her arms.

"It's mine that fell into my arms, and I won't pay it back." Lin Qingyu rubbed her face with a satisfied smile.

Chu Xi frowned slightly: "You let go." ”

Lin Qingyu still kept rubbing: "No, you pinched me just now, I won't be angry with you if you let me hold me for a while." ”

Angry?

Chu Xi sneered, when did this guy get angry.

"Loosen up, the wound on your body is ruptured, I smell blood." Chu Ji said busily.

Lin Qingyu's eyes curved: "It's okay, the bleeding wound heals quickly." ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded: "I don't want to dirty my quilt"

Lin Qingyu listened, only to feel that the cold wind suddenly rose, and the atmosphere suddenly became bleak: "In your eyes, I am not as important as a ruthless quilt"

Chu Xi: ""

"When the quilt is full of blood, how can you explain it to me?" Chu Ji said, but her tone was a lot softer.

Lin Qingyu smiled brighter and brighter, and his fox-like eyes narrowed: "You just say." The first time, it's normal to have a little blood."

"Bang ----!"

The four people outside the house were all stunned when they heard the sound in the room, and Lu Tan seemed to hear more, and hurriedly laughed: "Miss, I'm afraid it's going to be menstrual these days, and my temper is a little short-tempered." ”

"Oh" The few people nodded knowingly, and continued to talk around the charcoal brazier.

Lin Qingyu lay on the ground and looked at Chu Xi timidly: "I know it's wrong, I'll drink soup and take medicine obediently." ”

Chu Xi took a deep breath and covered the crimson on her face: "Hurry up and eat, hurry up and go back to the Hou Mansion for me after eating!" With that, he walked away, but there was a slight relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth when he left.
