Chapter 142: Forced Growth
When Zhao Xuanyi led someone to see Chu Bingsong, he was not dead, but Zhao Yiheng almost threw up.
The strong smell of blood can't be blown away, and it seems to be about to penetrate into people's hearts.
Chu Bingsong no longer has the luxury of surviving, he just wants to die quickly, so that he doesn't have to endure the torment, and he doesn't have to worry about recalling the ups and downs of the Prime Minister's Mansion in just half a year.
"Who killed you?" Zhao Yiheng asked.
Chu Bingsong opened his mouth and wanted to say Chu Ji's name, but when Xu Gui left, he had already cut his throat, so that he could only stare at Zhao Yiheng and couldn't make a sound at all.
Zhao Yiheng frowned, and looked up at Zhao Xuanyi: "It's not my hand, if not, I will never let you find this evidence." ”
"How does this palace know, is this what you want to cover?"
"I said no, I'm not me!" Zhao Yiheng said angrily, it was easy to suppress the anger in his body, and then he said: "If you investigate this matter carefully, you will know that although I have a hatred with Chu Bingsong, I have always been neat, and I will never treat him as an adult, and I heard that his two wives were killed by being made into adults, maybe this is an enemy seeking revenge?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi glanced at him lightly, and then looked at Chu Bingsong, but Chu Bingsong seemed to have reached the limit, and there was no sound in his ears.
He's dead
"This matter will be reported to the emperor by the palace, and Prime Minister Chu Cheng accused the five emperor brothers in public, and he was killed, this matter is really suspicious!" Zhao Xuanyi stared at Zhao Yiheng, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, only Zhao Yiheng had the most motive to commit the crime.
Zhao Yiheng still wanted to speak, but Zhao Xuanyi didn't plan to listen, so he directly asked people to pack up Chu Bingsong's body and set off to return to Beijing.
Zhao Yiheng's palms tightened slightly, he looked at the blood on the ground, turned over his horse, and headed to the capital, he finally turned passive into active, but he couldn't make a mess now!
At this time, Chu Xi had already returned to the city. The carriage did not go to the Hou Mansion, but went to the inn yesterday.
The shopkeeper was already waiting, Xu Gui was waiting outside, and Chu Ji went up to the private room on the second floor.
Yan Yi waited with people, and when he saw her coming, they all knelt down to confess the Lord.
"Get up and speak." Chu Xi said lightly, found a basin of water on the side and cleaned her hands, and then sat down by the window.
"The princess, everyone has brought it." Yan Yi stepped forward and said.
Chu Xi looked at it, there were only seven or eight people in total, all of whom followed behind Yan Yi, with a white cloth on their heads and a serious face.
"Are you responsible for what?" Chu Xi asked again.
Yan Yi stepped forward: "They are all in charge of the subordinates, follow Yan Er and Yan San, collect intelligence and do it." ”
"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head: "In this case, from now on, from now on, you will stop moving for the time being." ”
When Yan Yi heard this, he was very puzzled: "Stop now, then wouldn't what we checked before all be in vain?" ”
Chu Xi shook her head: "If you don't stop now, will the emperor let you go?" What Boss Yan promised before was that he would not let you tell you about the dead man for a day when he was alive, but now that he has passed away, you have to continue to investigate again, do you think the emperor will let you make the situation public now? ”
Yan Yi was puzzled: "But the emperor didn't say it before"
"The emperor didn't stop you before, because I hope that someone will really come to clean up this mess in the future, but if you want to clean it up, it's not when he is about to abdicate, the emperor hasn't had any big stains in his life, if you say it now, it is tantamount to telling the people that the court has always known that someone has saved the dead regardless of the lives of the people, aren't you asking for your own death." Chu Xi said, thinking about it, he also felt that there was only one reason, if his sons were to raise the dead to fight each other was exposed, his reputation as a Ming monarch would be ruined, and now he knew that he was close to the limit, and he would definitely not let people break out at this time to have something to do with him.
Yan Yi frowned: "The princess, we don't understand these twists and turns, and we ask the princess for more guidance." ”
"You stop investigating the dead now, there will be someone else who will continue to investigate this matter, but" Chu Xi's eyes gradually became indifferent: "You have to do three things now." ”
"The princess commands!"
"The first thing, the real cause of death of the abbot master of Hanshan Temple." The abbot died like this, she always felt that something was wrong, and there must be something related to the affairs of Peixian.
"Second, you send someone to keep an eye on the capital, if you can, it's best to find out the accomplices of the King of Freedom in the capital." Chu Xi said again, King Xiaoyao is an ambushed bomb, he is lurking in this capital, there must be some conspiracy.
Yan Yi was slightly surprised: "He's in the capital?" ”
Chu Ji bowed: "Not only in the capital, but also plotting something, so I want you to find out as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes. And what about the third thing? "Yan Yiyi.
Chu Xi got up, walked to the window and pushed open the window, looked at the Yan Mansion that was still brightly lit in the distance, and said, "Protect Mrs. Yun and Miss Yun, you lords have already noticed what the eldest master of the Yun family is doing now." ”
Yan's face was a little dark, but he didn't deny it: "I know." ”
"That's good. The Yan family is now in cahoots with the five princes, and Mrs. Yun and Miss Yun have no Master Yan to support them, so I'm worried that they will make a fuss about the two of them. Chu Xi said, thinking of Mrs. Yun's haggard appearance before, she was a little unbearable, Yi'er is very uncomfortable now.
Yan Yi saw that Chu Ji was still worried about Yan's mansion, and he was relieved: "Don't worry, the princess, we will definitely do these three things." ”
Chu Ji bowed her head, looked at the dark sky, and the corners of her mouth raised: "Another storm is coming, you must protect yourself, if you are wiped out, Mrs. Yun and Miss Yun will be completely left alone." ”
Yan Yi gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes!" ”
After explaining what happened here, Chu Xi returned to the Hou Mansion, but when she arrived, she heard news from someone that Yang Ying had set fire to her room and fled in chaos.
When Chu Xi saw the old lady Yang who was worried about the recurrence of the old disease and fell on the bed again, her face was dark and frightened everyone.
"Now the gates are closed. She couldn't get out of the city, so she sent someone to look for her. Chu Xi commanded.
The housekeeper bowed: "Concubine Yushi, I have already asked people to look for it, but someone saw that Miss Yang seemed to have met the people of the five princes halfway, and left with the five princes." ”
Yang Qianxiu sighed heavily on the side: "Princess Shizi, you don't have to worry about her, life and death are up to her." ”
When Chu Xi heard this, she looked at the old lady's reluctance to close her eyes, but sighed lightly in her heart: "Don't worry, I will bring it back." ”
Just as Chu Xi was about to leave, Old Madam Yang grabbed her hand: "Don't worry about it. ”
Chu Xi turned her head to look at her: "Yang Ying is also the daughter of the Yang family"
"She has been arrogant since she was a child, we can't control her anymore, but I can't let her drag you down anymore, let her go, it's a blessing or a curse, it's her life!" Old Madam Yang had red eyes, looking at Chu Xi's appearance, she was really similar to her own Pei'er, they all suffered hardships, how could she drag them down anymore.
Chu Ji looked at Yang Qianxiu, and Yang Qianxiu just said: "We have also heard about the five princes, now that the prince is not in the mansion, and the Hou Ye and his wife are not there, we also know how dangerous your daughter's house is, you don't care about her anymore, wait until Ci'er comes back" Yang Qianxiu paused, he didn't have much hope for Yang Ci's return, and only sighed: "When Ci'er comes back, Ying'er will come back herself." ”
Seeing this, Chu Ji didn't say anything more, but only comforted them to live in a good life, and then left.
In the middle of the night, the Hou Mansion was still not peaceful, and the fire was easily extinguished, but Chu Xi couldn't sleep.
The housekeeper was waiting in the flower hall, waiting for Chu Xi's instructions, Chu Xi thought about it, but still came out: "Go to a small sedan chair and pick up people from the Five Princes' Mansion tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
"Don't tell the prince about this matter for the time being, just let him do things with peace of mind." Chu Xi told again, and the housekeeper listened, with a slight smile on his lips: "I'm afraid that this matter has already reached the ears of the prince, but don't worry, our lord's ability is great, and nothing will happen." ”
Chu Xi listened, and felt warm in her heart: "It's not early, you all go down and rest." With that, he turned back to his room.
Aunt Fu had already put the water intimately, looked at Chu Xi sitting on the side in a daze, and laughed: "The princess, it is said that you have been stupid for three years when you are pregnant, you have to drink some soup stewed by slaves and maids, to make up for your body, and it will not make people stupid." ”
Chu Xi chuckled: "I'm not pregnant, you think too much." ”
Aunt Fu smiled, glanced at Chu Xi's stomach, and saw that she was tired, so she didn't say more.
After sending away Aunt Fu, Chu Xi took off her clothes and went to soak in warm water.
Thinking of Chu Bingsong's death today, Chu Xi didn't feel very happy, if she could, she even hoped that she had never avenged this revenge, and hoped that everything would come again, and her mother would still be there.
Closing her eyes and soaking in the pool, Chu Xi's mind began to recall her past life again, until she couldn't hold her breath and got up, only to find that she had already gotten up and slept on the bed, and her previous life was just a nightmare.
"It's stupid." Chu Xi shook her head, made herself sober, and looked out the window, it was already dawning.
There was a knock on the door outside, Chu Xi remembered what happened yesterday, got up in a hurry, and began to dress barefoot: "Come in and serve." ”
Aunt Fu came in from outside, saw that Chu Xi was actually barefoot, and said busily: "Oh, Miss, you can't be barefoot, although it's almost June." But it's still cold today. ”
Chu Xi saw her panicked, but she didn't seem to know the news that Chu Bingsong was dead, could it be that the prince blocked the news?
Chu Xi didn't think much about it, the left and right people died, and they couldn't find their heads, so let him go first
Chu Xi looked at her and laughed: "You are so worried, go back and ask a doctor to take a look." When she saw that it wasn't, she would be able to feel more at ease.
Aunt Fu nodded hurriedly: "With these reactions, it should have been more than a month, and the doctor can see it." ”
Chu Xi smiled, and just after she finished dressing up, she heard the sound of trotting outside, and then saw a little girl with a pink carving running in: "The princess and concubine!" ”
Yao'er ran over happily, and after only a day's work, she let go, and the people in the Hou Mansion were also friendly, and they didn't think so much about it openly and secretly, and the few people around Chu Xi who followed her were even closer, so she became familiar with it all of a sudden.
Chu Xi looked at her and smiled: "Hungry, let's have breakfast together in a while!" ”
"Good!" Yao'er bowed her head and glanced at Chu Xi: "I heard them say that the princess already has a younger brother in her belly." ”
Looking at Yao'er's curious eyes, Chu Xiwan'er also learned to smile mischievously: "Maybe it's a sister?" ”
"My sister is not good, but my brother is good." Yao'er's eyes suddenly dimmed, Chu Xi knew that she was influenced by Jiang Fan, and stepped forward to rub her little head: "I just like Yao'er, that's why I want to have a daughter, and when I am born, Yao'er will help me take my sister." ”
When Yao'er heard this, her big eyes blinked, and she nodded: "Okay!" ”
Chu Xiwan'er, Aunt Fu watched from the side, and hurriedly let people have breakfast.
After breakfast, Chu Ji saw that it was a sunny day outside, so she asked people to accompany her to play in the yard, and the housekeeper also came with news at this time.
"It has been determined that Miss Yang is indeed in the Five Princes' Mansion, but our people went to pick her up, but she just refused to come out." The housekeeper was embarrassed.
When Chu Ji heard this, she had already expected this result.
"Miss, how many days would she be in the Fifth Prince? She is also a big girl, the fifth prince has not yet married, she ran over so recklessly, she will definitely know that people's words are terrible. Aunt Fu proposed.
Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "It would be nice if she knew that people's words were terrifying, and what I was most worried about was not that she was confused, but that the fifth prince would not easily let go of this opportunity." ”
Aunt Fu guessed something, but didn't dare to say anything more, Chu Xi looked at Yao'er, who was having a good time outside, and said, "You send someone to the Prince's Mansion again, let him think of ideas, Yang Ying is also the Yang family's loyal martyr, don't fold in the Five Princes' Mansion." ”
"Yes." The housekeeper bowed his head, and Chu Ji also had some spirit: "Go and prepare the carriage, I want to go to Yanfu." "There are only two daughters left in the Yan family's room, Mrs. Yun and Yun Songyi, and she is always a little worried.
When Chu Ji arrived at Yan's mansion, Yan's family was lively.
Mr. Yan has not yet been buried, but there is already a lot of noise at the door.
Yun Songyi protected Mrs. Yun behind her, her face turned blue, and she glared angrily at Mrs. Yan Da in front of her: "The eldest aunt also deceives people too much, my grandfather is sick, and my mother is all around to take care of her, you don't even have to look at it a few times, and now my mother wants to help the coffin to see her off, why can't you deserve it!" ”
Mrs. Yan's face was not good-looking, she thought that it would be solved in private, but before she could do it, Yun Songyi began to lose her temper in public: "This is the rule that your Yun family taught you?" She kept saying that Yun Songyi was still classified as the Yun family.
Yun Songyi gritted his teeth: "My rules are all taught by my mother, I think it's not bad, and this matter has nothing to do with the rules or regulations, the eldest aunt now sees that my grandfather has passed away, and I want to kick our mother and daughter out, I tell you, we don't need you to rush, when the coffin of my grandfather is buried, we will leave!" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan was happy in her heart, her face was better, and she said, "It's not that I don't let you support the coffin, but throughout the ages, how can there be a reason for your daughter's family to support the coffin?" ”
"The eldest uncle is in front, and you said that the eldest cousin is sick and should not be sent to be buried, and the rest of the uncles and brothers are not as good as my mother and maternal grandfather, why can't my mother send this last journey!" Yun Songyi chewed tears in her eyes, and everyone looked at her and talked about it, thinking that she was unreasonable, but she didn't care what others said, she must fulfill her mother's filial piety.
Mrs. Yun has not had a grain of rice in the past few days, and her legs, which have already knelt, are weak and have no strength, and she can't shout if she wants to shout again so that they don't quarrel.
"You are using strong words" Mrs. Yan was about to say, but Master Yan came out, and his face was ugly: "What are you guys making trouble about, are you so impatient that your grandfather is gone, and you can't bear to make Yan Fu lose face?" He kept blaming Yun Songyi.
Yun Songyi held back tears and stared at him: "It's obviously the eldest aunt"
"It's reasonable for you to argue with your elders, and you're still making trouble in front of your grandfather's coffin, I don't think you have any filial piety, Yan Mansion has raised you for so many years, just raised a white-eyed wolf!" After Master Yan finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Yun, and said in a cold voice: "My sister has already been spilled by the daughter who got married, I have raised your mother and daughter for nothing for so many years, I think I am benevolent and righteous, since you are still going to make such a fuss today, let's all leave the Yan Mansion, my father doesn't need unfilial children like you!" ”
"Who is the unfilial piety!" Yun Songyi looked at her mother's pale face, how could she bear it.
"You" Elder Yan raised his hand and was about to hit her, but Mrs. Yun hurriedly stood up and reluctantly walked, but looked at Master Yan fixedly: "We will leave, and we won't make trouble again, you forgive Yi'er this time, she is still young"
Old Master Yan snorted coldly, but how could he let Yun Songyi leave, and the daughter under his knees was reluctant to marry those bad old men.
"Well, you don't have to leave, but"
"I am the Yun family, so I won't stay in your Yan Mansion!"
"Yi'er" Mrs. Yun hurriedly persuaded, but Yun Songyi took her hand: "Mother, do we want to stay and see their faces to live!" "It's okay to be yourself, there is still some work left and right, but if they marry themselves, won't their mother be slaughtered if they stay in this house!
"Master, the time has come," someone hurriedly said.
Seeing this, Master Yan hurriedly stopped talking and looked at the people next to him: "Madam and Miss are tired, please go back and rest!" ”
The others understood and beckoned four or five stout mothers-in-law to come up, this was to show them.
Yun Songyi gritted his teeth, if he couldn't get out of this door today, he would be even more unable to get out in the future, thinking about it like this, he was about to break through when he raised his hand, but Yan Jifu behind him said lightly: "Yi'er, don't make trouble, otherwise you will be killed or injured, who will be responsible?" ”
Yan Jifu's threat was very effective, Yun Songyi glanced at Mrs. Yun, who was already weak, and finally withdrew her hand.
Yan Jifu smiled faintly. Yun Songyi could only watch the coffin go out, and Mrs. Yun, who couldn't cry, wept silently, only hating herself for being useless, and couldn't deal with these jackals, tigers and leopards.
The coffin was sent away, and the people in the Yan Mansion also left a large area, leaving only Yan Jifu in the mansion.
"Okay, bring them back" Yan Jifu said in an indifferent tone, if it was Yun Songyi as before, she would definitely fight regardless of it, but not now, she has a mother, she has to protect her!
Just as she was desperate to leave, Chu Xi arrived behind.
In fact, she had already arrived, but she didn't get out of the carriage, she wanted to see what the situation was in Yan Mansion now, but at present, it seemed that she was not optimistic.
"The Princess" Yan Jifu's eyes lit up a little, but Chu Ji only looked at Yun Songyi. She has lost a lot of weight, the baby fat on her face has faded, and her eyes are clearer, but she is less innocent and more indifferent.
Seeing Chu Ji coming, Yun Songyi's heart really lit up: "Sister Xi'er"
Chu Xi stepped forward and asked people to hold her and Mrs. Yun: "I came this time to invite you to stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
"The princess of this world, my father commanded"
"Did Master Yan put them under house arrest? Or did they sign a deed of sale, and they even asked you to go out? Chu Xi smiled faintly.
Yan Jifu had nothing to say, but he couldn't let them leave, and said: "Now that my grandfather and second uncle have just passed away, they should stay."
"What's the rule? Is it newly made by the Yan Mansion? Chu asked with a smile.
Yan Jifu knew that Chu Ji was prepared and had to take them away, so he simply stepped forward with a smile and said, "Concubine Shi, once they leave, it will be difficult to come back in the future, does the princess plan to let the remnants of Yunfu live in the Hou Mansion for a lifetime, and ruin the reputation of the Hou Mansion?" ”
Chu Ji looked at him sarcastically: "Calling his aunt and sister Yu Sin, Yan Gongzi is really a first-class good character." ”
Yan Jifu heard Chu Ji say this, his face was a little embarrassed, but he said with a good face: "Master Yun has been imprisoned"
"Even if Master Yun was imprisoned for the crime of embezzlement of ink, but the emperor did not convict the rest of the Yun family, how did Yan Gongzi's judgment come out?" Chu Ji immediately asked, Yan Jifu had nothing to say, and stood on the side with his mouth closed, but the mother-in-law who was blocking him didn't seem to have the intention of getting out of the way.
Chu Ji glanced at Yan Jifu again: "Lord Yan is going to confirm the name of house arrest?" I don't know if Ma Yushi knows about this, and if the prince knows"
Yan Jifu stared at Chu Ji coldly, but threatened: "The prince is not in the Hou Mansion now, the prince is in charge of everything, and there is no man in the Hou Mansion, and the princess is alone all day long, but it is very dangerous."
"Of course, I know the danger, so I bring guards with me when I go out." Chu Xi smiled faintly, but twenty or thirty guards from the Hou Mansion suddenly poured in outside, all with serious faces and burly figures.
Yan Jifu was a scholar, standing among them, looking a lot smaller.
Chu Ji watched the expression on his face change, and raised his eyebrows slightly. looked at Mrs. Yun and Yun Songyi: "Yi'er, take Mrs. with me." ”
"Hmm." Yun Songyi pushed the mother-in-law in front of him away, and saw that they were still going to surround him, so he only said: "Why, even the princess dares to disobey your orders?" ”
The mother-in-law looked at Yan Jifu, but Yan Jifu did not speak, as if she acquiesced.
Yun Songyi helped Mrs. Yun out of the door, Mrs. Yun was reluctant to give up, after all, this is her home since she was a child, and now that Elder Yan has passed away, she will leave, how can she be willing to do this, but she is not a foolish person, staying only harmed her daughter, so she didn't stay long, and followed Yun Songyi out of Yunfu directly.
Chu Ji glanced at Yan Jifu and turned his head to leave. Yan Jifu took a step forward, and the guards of the Hou Mansion immediately made a gesture of drawing their swords, so he had to stop and say to Chu Ji: "Concubine Shizi, you are a woman." It's better not to get involved in these sinister things. ”
Chu Xi's footsteps were slightly sudden: "Then I will also send a sentence back to Yan Gongzi, you are a scholar, you still study hard, thinking about how to serve the court and help the people." "With that, just step away.
Yan Jifu looked at Chu Ji who was not worried or afraid at all, not only fascinated by her neat and chic, but also angry that she didn't take her words in her eyes at all, as if she was in her eyes, but like an inconspicuous speck of dust, she couldn't shock any waves in her heart.
Chu Xi returned to the carriage, and when she couldn't comfort her, she said directly: "Go directly to the Prince's Mansion." ”
"Aren't you going back to the Hou Mansion?" Yun Songyi said busily.
Chu Xiwan'er: "The prince and the marquis are not here, if the Yan Mansion comes to make trouble, I can't protect you, and now it's not as safe as the Prince's Mansion." ”
Yun Songyi nodded, but Mrs. Yun was worried: "In case the prince refuses"
"He'll be willing!" Zhao Xuanyi was worried about the harassment of the Jiang Mansion, so he left his daughter to himself, and now he dragged him to take care of Yun Songyi, he had no reason to refuse.
Zhao Xuanyi was originally in the study, but today there was a surprise in the palace, and before he could recover from his surprise, he heard that Chu Xuan had come over, thinking about it, he was a little happy.
Looking at Mrs. Yun with a panicked face, Zhao Xuanyi was puzzled: "What does this mean by the princess?" ”
"Mrs. Yun has a secret report to report to the prince, but the Yan Mansion Yan has passed away, and Mrs. Yun and the Yun family have long been separated and dissociated, so in desperation, I have to come to the prince's mansion for help, hoping that the prince will take him in for a few months." Chu Ji said, if it is fast, it will not take a few months, and when Zheng Yun comes back and marries Yi'er, everything will be solved.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Chu Xi, who was playing clever in front of him, and the corners of his cold mouth pulled up a slight arc: "In this case, this palace will allow it." After that, he called someone directly: "Go and clean up the side yard, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let Mrs. Yun slowly write the secret report that she wants to say." Zhao Xuanyi didn't have the idea that Mrs. Yun could tell any secrets, but Mrs. Yun didn't think so, she turned her head to look at Chu Xi, Chu Xi nodded at her, and now she has the care of the prince, which is more reliable than anyone's.
Zhao Xuanyi arranged for someone to stay, and then he heard that someone came to report that there were people at the door who were constantly wandering and looking inside.
"Who can you find out?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"It's someone from Yanfu, and the white cloth on his head hasn't been torn off yet." Come humanely.
Zhao Xuanyi's face sank: "Lord Yan is really a long skill!" Go and arrest people for me, and in the name of spying on the prince's mansion, hit fifty boards and send people back to me! ”
"Yes!"
Chu Xi watched from the sidelines, taking advantage of the east wind of the Prince's Mansion to be refreshing.
Seeing that Yun Songyi and Mrs. Yun were temporarily settled, she didn't plan to stay in the prince's mansion for longer, and turned around to leave, but Zhao Xuanyi said, "Wait, I have something to tell you." ”
Chu Xi frowned: "Yao'er is still waiting for me to take care of it"
Zhao Xuanyi saw that she couldn't wait to flee from him immediately, and his face sank a little: "It's about Chu Dai'er, you should know." ”
Chu Xi was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "Prince." Let's go to the gazebo. Seeing that Zhao Xuanyi turned his head to go to the study, Chu Xi pointed to the pavilion not far away.
Zhao Xuanyi turned around and looked at her nervous face, a slight smile appeared in her eyes, and she looked at her with her head down and a lot shorter than herself, and walked towards the gazebo with her hands behind her back in a good mood.
Chu Xi followed behind him and looked at the worried Yun Songyi: "You come to the Hou Mansion to look for me later." ”
Yun Songyi bowed his head, and then helped Mrs. Yun to leave.
Chu Xi followed, and before Zhao Xuanyi could speak, Chu Xi was stunned: "The emperor and Chu Dai'er"
"Hmm. Yesterday, she has been raptured to be a nobleman. Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.
Chu Xi's eyes widened: "How is it possible" The emperor's body should have died a long time ago, how could he do things like men and women, and it was Chu Dai'er, the emperor must understand her heart, and he would definitely not look down on her.
Zhao Xuanyi's face was gloomy: "This matter has been rumored, and the hundred officials are constantly folding, saying that they are glad that their father is healthy, but this palace can see that his father has been" Zhao Xuanyi did not continue, but Chu Xuan understood.
Chu Xi was still surprised, she didn't want to come and go, Chu Dai'er still succeeded: "Then what is the prince's plan next, I heard that the body of the concubine is not as good as day by day, and the queen mother did not succeed in succeeding the five princes, and the original five princesses became the emperor's nobles, which does not seem to be a good thing." ”
Zhao Xuanyi looked at her and knew that she could understand this complicated matter: "What I am most worried about now is the mother concubine, if Chu Dai'er still has the same heart as the old five, the most dangerous thing is the mother concubine and the father, once they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable." "The falsification of the posthumous photo has not happened in the previous dynasty, if Zhao Yiheng takes the opportunity to raise troops at that time, he will not have an advantage.
"What are the prince's plans?" Chu Xi was faintly aware of his calculations, but Zhao Xuanyi stared at her: "I need someone in the palace that I can trust to protect my mother and father."
"The Praetorian Guards are now under the command of the crown prince, and it is not difficult to protect Su Guifei and the emperor." Chu Ji said.
Zhao Xuanyi chuckled: "Although the order of the Praetorian Guard is in my hands, do you think these people are all my people?" Zhao Xuanyi stood up, looked at the rockery and flowing water next to the gazebo, and his eyes were faint: "Even Gonggong Gao, who has served his father for decades, is not necessarily his father's person." Not to mention others. ”
Chu Xi frowned, and Zhao Xuanyi said again: "I can already feel it, the people who are hiding can't help it, and there will be more moves soon, if we don't prepare in advance, we will definitely be eaten and stopped by them, Chu Xi, at the beginning, it is you who live and die, do you know?" ”
Chu Xi looked at him, thinking that he only understood this truth.
"I'm not going to enter the palace." Chu Xi still refused to enter the palace, there were so many available people under the prince's hands, why did she want to go.
"It's not once or twice that you've rejected this palace." Zhao Xuanyi's tone became cold.
Chu Xi heard that he had changed the title to 'Bengong', her heart lifted slightly, and she got up and saluted: "I'm pregnant, and I don't want to die two lives." ”
Zhao Xuanyi's expression froze, and his palms tightened slightly: "Is it confirmed?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Ji was a little flustered, but she was really unsure, and now she couldn't change her words.
Zhao Xuanyi just sighed in the end: "That's it, you go back." I'll arrange someone else for this. ”
"Hmm." Chu Xi saluted and was about to leave, but before leaving, he said, "Has the prince been to Princess Huaiyang's bedroom?" ”
"How?"
"There are a lot of secret passages in the palace, but most of these secret passages lead to Princess Huaiyang's bedroom. Chu Ji said.
Zhao Xuanyi frowned, if he found out Princess Huaiyang, it would only anger his father, he didn't expect it, but even if he found it, he couldn't say it.
As if guessing the prince's thoughts, Chu Xi said again: "Now that Chu Dai'er has also been promoted to a nobleman, do you think the prince is forcing the prince to make a decision and cut the mess quickly, or continue to tolerate others controlling the palace?" She was not sure of the emperor's intentions, but all kinds of signs revealed the feeling that the emperor was forcing the prince to grow up. The crown prince is famous, but he is too burdened by the virtuous name, and the emperor is different. He is a Ming Jun, but he is a Ming Jun who can do whatever it takes, and he must feel that only by no means can he manage this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so he has been persecuted repeatedly.
Zhao Xuanyi was stunned, turned his head and stared at Chu Xi, Chu Xi was naturally not stupid enough to continue, and bowed and left.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at her back, his teeth slightly tightened.
"Someone!"
"What does the prince command?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked back at the koi who began to fight for departure in order to order bait, as if he had made up his mind: "Notify the Praetorian Guards to gather, and the secret passage found before will be investigated immediately, no matter who you find, report it immediately!" "Since it has reached such a juncture, if he doesn't seize the opportunity and wait until the emperor dies, then the prince's mansion will have no advantage.
Chu Xi walked out of the prince's mansion, and when she got into the carriage, she felt that a gaze had been staring at her, she opened the curtain to look, but there was no one around, and she frowned slightly. I had to let the carriage go.
The carriage of the Hou Mansion had just left, and a man wrapped in a black cloak came out of the alley not far ahead, and when he saw Chu Xi leaving, the corners of his mouth under the cloak hooked up evilly: "Are you pregnant?"
Master Yan had just finished the burial, and when he came back, he saw the person who was beaten to the point that he only had one breath left, and when he turned around, he gave Yan Jifu a slap: "Who let you make the decision and send someone to the gate of the prince's mansion to investigate." ”
Yan Jifu was beaten for the first time, he was both angry and ashamed, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth, and stood in place without saying a word.
Mrs. Yan hurriedly stepped forward: "Okay, Ji Fu is also worried"
"Worried? When Anpinghou's people took their mother and daughter away, why weren't they worried? Do you think she Chu Xi really dares to blatantly rob people in the Yan Mansion? Elder Yan said coldly.
Yan Jifu looked at him: "In case she dares!" ”
"If she dares, I can report to the emperor now, she bullied the Yan family to the door before her bones were cold, how can she make the Anping Marquis Mansion suffer a little, but you" Master Yan was so angry that he didn't know what to say: "That's it, I don't bother to scold you here." ”
"Then, should we tell the five princes?"
"Shh Master Yan hurriedly stopped his wife: "This is a family matter, don't trouble him, let's solve it ourselves, but those people on the outskirts of the city haven't solved it yet, I can't stay in the house for a long time, you can rest first, don't make anything wrong with me." ”
"Yes." Mrs. Yan hurriedly pulled Yan Jifu to answer.
After saying that, Master Yan hurriedly changed into ordinary clothes, walked out of the corner door, and did not notice that a man in a black cloak followed.
When Chu Ji returned to the Hou Mansion, he heard that the Jiang family's people were coming and were waiting in the front hall.
Xiao Fu'er dragged her injured body out, and when she saw Chu Xi coming back, she hurriedly said: "Miss, the little county lord was called over by them, and I originally wanted to leave, but fortunately, the housekeeper asked people to block the Hou Mansion." ”
Chu Xi looked at her: "You go back first"
"No, what if the people of the Jiang Mansion really want to rob people and hurt you and the little lady." Xiao Fu'er stared at Chu Xi's stomach.
Chu Ji blinked, little miss?
Chu Xi saw that she refused to leave, so she didn't stop her, and walked forward, she was also trying to probe the Jiang family's tone to see if Zhao Xunyan was really mixed with Jiang An, but when she arrived in the front hall, she heard Yao'er's frightened cry, Chu Xi looked inside, and Ning's face was serious, and she didn't know what to say to Yao'er, and her hand was still tightly pinching Yao'er's shoulder.
"Mrs. Jiang Shao is so pompous!" Chu Xi came in directly.
Ning Shi was stunned, and his hands were loosened, and Yao'er took the opportunity to run away and fell into Chu Xi's arms: "The princess and concubine save me"
Ning's face sank, and before he could speak, Chu Xi said, "What, the Jiang family came over, didn't they salute when they saw this concubine?" ”
Madame Jiang looked embarrassed for a moment, looked at Ning, and had to get up and salute with her.
Chu Xi looked at them and said with a smile: "This later ceremony, if it doesn't work, sit down." After Chu Xi finished speaking, she went to the first seat where Mrs. Jiang was sitting and sat down.
Mrs. Jiang was choked, endured it, and only smiled: "The princess is not angry." We also laughed with Yao'er again, she remembered her mother, so she was sad. We came this time because we thought that Fan'er's first seven days were about to arrive, and the prince was busy with official business, so the Jiang Mansion took care of it, and this time we came to take Yao'er to the Jiang Mansion. ”
The first seven mothers, it is serious for the daughter to go back to worship, although Jiang Fan is a side concubine, but the prince has no concubine, and it is reasonable for Yao'er to go back, but how could Chu Xi let Yao'er go with them.
Yao'er seemed to be scared, and carefully pulled Chu Xi's sleeve: "The princess and concubine, Yao'er misses her mother, and she doesn't want to go to Jiang's mansion."
Ning Shi hurriedly stepped forward, and vigorously grabbed Yao'er's shoulders and dragged her over: "Okay Yao'er, you have to go back to Jiang's Mansion to see your mother, your mother-in-law is the daughter of Jiang's Mansion." ”
Yao'er was in pain, but she held back her tears and looked at her in a daze: "I'll go back to Jiang's mansion." Will you be able to see your mother? ”
"Of course"
"The dead are gone" Chu Xi got up, raised her hand to open Ning's hand that was pinching Yao'er's shoulder, and looked at her with a smile: "Do you think Concubine Jiang will return to her soul?" ”
Ning Shi could afford goosebumps when he heard it, and Chu Xi smiled and said: "Yao'er is in the Hou Mansion, and on the first seven days, Concubine Ben will notify someone from the Prince's Mansion to pick her up and send her over." ”
"You're it"
"That's right." Chu Xi said again: "I heard Concubine Jiang mention it before, I miss my brother Jiang An very much, saying that he has been running around and hasn't come to see her for a long time, and Concubine Jiang will definitely come back to see him this time." ”
Ning's face turned blue and white for a while: "The princess, husband, he has been at home all the time, how can he be running around"
"Then Concubine Jiang is lying?"
The Ning family panicked, Chu Xi saw this, and already knew it in his heart, and said: "On the seventh day of the first concubine, I will mention it to the prince, Lord Jiang is so busy with official business that he doesn't even have time to see his relatives."
"No, it's not! Don't talk nonsense! Ning said busily.
Madame Jiang stared at Chu Xi gloomily, because the man said that in this group of people. The most dangerous person is actually her, and they have to find a way to get rid of her!
It was Xiao Fu'er who found that Mrs. Jiang's eyes were wrong, and before she could speak, she saw the maid ring on Mrs. Jiang's side quickly coming forward: "Little county lord, you can go back with us" She approached exaggeratedly, Xiao Fu'er kept staring at her, and still found a thin blade between her fingers.
said that it was too late, Xiao Fu'er didn't think about it, and pushed Ning Shi suddenly, Ning Shi pounced forward, his head hit the corner of the table, and the girl ring was also knocked open, but a smile appeared on her lips, as if she had been waiting for someone to do it for a long time.
Ning fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and stopped moving.
Xiao Fu'er froze in place, and a fear of death quickly struck.
Chu Ji glanced at Xiao Fu'er, stepped forward and grabbed the arm of Yahuan who was about to retreat to the back, looking at Na Yahuan's innocent look, her face was slightly gloomy: "You want to play tricks in the Hou Mansion, is this what King Xiaoyao taught you?" ”
Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale: "You don't want to talk nonsense"
Chu Xi directly ripped open Yahuan's sleeve, looked at her painfully embedding the blade into her arm and the blood flowed, and gritted her teeth slightly: "You are not Jiang Fu"
Before Chu Xi's words were finished, the girl pulled off the hairpin on her head and stabbed it towards Chu Xi's heart!
The man in black outside the house smiled coldly, Chu Xi, this is my gift to you.
