When Chu Ji followed Lin Qingyu to catch up with the carriage of the Jiang Mansion, the carriage stopped in a dilapidated alley, and there was no one to see on the left and right.

Lin Qingyu put Chu Xi down: "Don't come here." After that, he stepped forward to check, but the carriage was already empty.

"It's gone." Lin Qingyu looked at the traces on the ground, the person should have gone to the front, but in front of him was a dead end where you could see the head at a glance, and then looked at the left and right, all of them were ordinary houses, and it seemed that no one lived there.

Chu Xi stepped forward: "Did you run away?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Qingyu bowed his head, took Chu Xi's hand and said, "Don't worry, the Jiang family will not hurt Yao'er for the time being, Yao'er is now their talisman." ”

"Then let's go to Jiang's Mansion first."

"Okay." Lin Qingyu bowed his head and went out with Chu Xi.

A large group of officers and soldiers have now been surrounded at the gate of Jiang's mansion, inside and out, and the leader is Jing Zhaoyin, who was newly promoted by the crown prince Zhao Xuanyi.

Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi sat down in a tea shed not far away, and did not choose to follow, the Jiang family must be hiding somewhere in the capital now, without Zhao Xuanyi's order, they can't get out of the city.

"There is no conclusive evidence in the prince's hands, so he didn't think that the Jiang family would run away first." Lin Qingyu said, looked at it, and saw that Chu Xi was sweating on her forehead, so she directly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her: "But the prince is in a hurry, and a lot of things have happened in the capital, so I am afraid that it will make people panic." ”

Chu Ji looked at him: "If the prince doesn't do it, wouldn't the Jiang Mansion want to help Zhao Xunyan harm more people?" ”

Lin Qingyu said: "That's right. ”

Chu Xi looked at him and didn't deny it, and laughed with relief: "I know that with only a benevolent heart, you can't sit in that seat." ”

Lin Qingyu saw that she understood, so he didn't discuss this issue with her in depth, but said, "Don't think too much now, it's easy to get tired." ”

"It's like you've had a baby"

"I haven't been born, but I've seen life." Lin Qingyu bent his eyes and looked at her stupidly: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, do you want to stay in the capital or do you want to leave with me?" ”

Chu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, and before she could answer, she heard a noise in front of her. Then I saw someone fighting inside with a knife, and blood was splashed at the gate of Jiang's mansion for a while, and the onlookers began to run away with their heads in their hands.

"What's wrong!" Chu Xi stood up.

The owner of the tea shed also hurriedly ran away, Lin Qingyu protected her in his arms, and sighed lightly: "It's their bureau for the prince, and in a short time, it will be rumored that the prince will be accused of killing innocents indiscriminately, and the strange things that have happened in the capital will be pushed on the prince's head." ”

"How could it be" Chu Xi was stunned, he didn't want the Jiang family to be so ruthless, he had to put the prince to death.

Lin Qingyu looked at the bloody in front of him, asked Chu Xi not to look at it, and stepped forward and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, arrest all the people who use the knife!" Be alive! ”

That Jing Zhaoyin saw that it was him, and he was busy letting people arrest people and keep them alive.

Seeing this, Lin Qing turned his head to look at Chu Xi: "I'll send you back to the Hou Mansion first." ”

"Okay." Chu Xi didn't say more, he must have more urgent things to do.

After Chu Ji returned to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Fu'er hurriedly ran over: "Miss, Lord Han is back, do you mean that the old general and the young general of the Yang family are also back?" ”

"I don't know." Chu Xi shook her head: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Chu Xi walked towards the Likejin Courtyard, she couldn't wait like this, she had to find a way to help Lin Qingyu!

Just when she was anxious, Mei Niang came over and sent back the piece of purple jade by the way.

Although Ruyifang is closed, they have remained in the capital.

"Princess, this was found early this morning, someone hurriedly bought these two mansions, thinking that they were used to hide." Mei Niang said.

Chu Xi thought about it, it was impossible for the Jiang family to hide in their own property now, otherwise it would be easy to be found out.

"Did you send someone to keep an eye on it? What's going on inside? ”

"Well, there is movement, but there are also many black-clothed assassins guarding it, I came here this time to ask the princess when to do it." Mei Niang asked.

When Chu Xi heard the 'black-clothed assassin', he thought of the person he had assassinated before: "Are those black-clothed people all Zhao Xunyan's people?" ”

"I don't know, but we checked the assassins who assassinated the princess today, and they were all Zhao Xunyan's people." Mei Niang's head.

When Chu Xi heard this, he sat down dejectedly: "You can't do it for the time being, Zhao Xunyan must have set a trap and waited for us to pass." ”

"Yes" Mei Niang didn't say much, glanced at Chu Xi worriedly, and comforted: "Don't worry about the princess for the time being, they won't kill this talisman." ”

Chu Ji shook her head: "Zhao Yao'er is a talisman for the Jiang family, but not for Zhao Xunyan, she is at most a chess piece used by Zhao Xunyan to make the prince suffer, as for the Jiang family, I don't think we need to do it, Zhao Xunyan will also deal with it." He never kept anyone who was worthless to him, unless there was anything else the Jiang family was worth that she didn't know.

After letting Mei Niang leave, Chu Xi was about to get up to meet Chu Dai'er, but when she stood up, her eyes went black and she fell straight back.

Zhao Xuanyi was working on the recital in the study, his eyes kept staring at the recital, and he kept giving instructions, but he turned a blind eye to the people who came to talk back until Lin Qingyu came over.

Lin Qingyu looked at the people in the Hou Mansion standing on the side, and knew that the prince had already known the news of his daughter's disappearance, looked at his indifferent appearance, and said, "I've seen the prince." ”

Zhao Xuanyi's hand still didn't stop, Lin Qingyu asked people to retreat, turned his head and closed the door, and then said: "The prince expected it well, the gap in Peixian County is indeed the hands and feet of the five princes, and the dead and injured people are also his hands, but"

Zhao Xuanyi's hand finally stopped, Lin Qingyu saw this, and continued: "The one who killed Wei Xian and Huineng was the one in the palace. ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face tightened, as if he was about to be extremely angry in the next second, and Lin Qingyu could also see his hand trembling slightly because of patience.

"Han Min has already entered the palace."

After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, Zhao Xuanyi raised his head suddenly: "What does he want to say?" ”

"What does the prince think? This was asked by the emperor to be checked by the prince, and he said whatever he found. Lin Qingyu said.

Zhao Xuanyi stood up abruptly and walked in front of him: "Lin Qingyu, what do you want to do!" "The murderer behind the scenes is the emperor, even if the evidence is conclusive, it can't be said!

Lin Qingyu looked at him like this, and the corners of his mouth were lightly hooked. There was inevitably some disappointment in his eyes: "The prince has been looking forward for decades, what are you still worried about now?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face was tense: "Don't you know that the emperor's words are a thousand words to the palace?" ”

"But the crown prince is now acting as the ruler of the court." Lin Qingyu's tone was still unhurried, looking at the different color in his eyes, and said: "Has the prince ever thought that the emperor obviously knows everything about Pei County, but in order to make people kill Huineng and the governor Wei Xian?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi didn't speak, Lin Qing was foolish, and said to himself: "Because Wei Xian is in charge of Jiangnan, it can be said that he is the emperor of the soil, if he doesn't kill him, how can King Xiaoyao lose power so quickly?" ”

"You mean, my father is doing it for my own good?"

"The emperor always has a thousand meanings when he does things, it depends on which one the prince wants to understand." Lin Qingyu said, and sat down to the side: "Now that there is a big killing ring in front of the Jiang Mansion, the prince will face the storm next, do you plan to let a loyal minister like Lord Han block the front for the prince." And the prince hid in the study to review these memorabilia? ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face was pale, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out: "How long has he been in the palace?" ”

"One Hour"

Before Lin Qingyu finished speaking, Zhao Xuanyi walked out directly.

Watching his back leave, Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the Hou Mansion.

It was getting dark, there was not a hint of wind, it was boring and tight, and there seemed to be a fire of fear and anger in the heart, which almost burned the person to death.

"What are you going to do next?" In the gloomy room, Lang Yueqiu stood in front of the door and asked Zhao Xunyan, who was sitting in a crow-blue shirt, as if he wanted to hide in this darkness.

Zhao Xunyan didn't answer, he carefully recalled the picture in his mind, he knew much more things than Chu Xi, such as why the Hou Mansion had been unwilling to go out of the mountain in his previous life, such as how he ascended to the throne step by step.

Seeing that he shouldn't, Lang Yueqiu stepped forward again: "Don't you have any plans for the next step?" ”

Zhao Xunyan raised the corners of his lips wickedly, and his phoenix eyes raised slightly: "What's the hurry, the mission in southern Xinjiang hasn't arrived yet, and Zhao Yiheng can't bear it anymore, tonight Huaiyang will die, and the capital will be in chaos, we just wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Are you sure you can make it?"

"Nature." The corners of Zhao Xunyan's mouth raised high: "The noble man of Chu is recuperating in the Chu Mansion, you have to tell her, don't forget our purpose, otherwise"

"I know, but the Hou Mansion is heavily guarded, and I want to see her unless she comes out by herself." Lang Yueqiu said coldly: "She has already started to have different hearts, and she is not so easy to manage." ”

"I know her, a person like her, the hatred in her heart is enough to support her to continue to slaughter, she will not stop." After Zhao Xunyan finished speaking, he got up: "I'll go to the palace, as for the Jiang family, you can ask again, what is the secret they are keeping, if you just lie to me, kill them all." ”

"What about the little girl?"

"Little girl?" Zhao Xunyan remembered that there was another Yao'er coming: "Don't move her for the time being, don't anger Chu Xi, wait until Zhao Yiheng and the prince are exhausted, and then we will do it." With that, he stepped out of the way.

Before he left, the man in the cloak came over: "Are we going to listen to him?" ”

"This man is ruthless, listen to him?" Lang Yueqiu smiled coldly, and a white jade bottle had already appeared in his hand: "Have you ever heard of Lianxin Gu?" ”

"Heart-Connecting Gu? The Gu worm that tied the life and death of the two together? But isn't this Gu worm already extinct? The man in the cloak said.

Lang Yueqiu smiled faintly: "The one in my hand is the last pair, this kind of Gu worm will never die, it's just that those people were too stupid in the past to dig out the Gu worm from their heart after they die." ”

The cloaked man's eyes widened: "Her Majesty the former Empress of Southern Xinjiang died from Lianxin Gu, could it be"

"Do you want to die?" Lang Yueqiu's tone was as usual, but there was a chilling murderous aura.

The man in the cloak hurriedly lowered his head: "My subordinates swear to follow the princess to the death, but this Gu worm is used by Zhao Xunyan, isn't it too wasteful?"

"How can it be wasted, I'll dig it out when the time comes." Lang Yueqiu said, and directly released the remaining one. Put it directly in your mouth.

The man in the cloak was stunned and looked at her: "Princess, why don't you let your subordinates come down!" ”

Lang Yueqiu smiled faintly: "If it enters my belly, he won't dare to kill me." "This Gu worm entered the abdomen, and he didn't feel the slightest feeling, but Lang Yueqiu knew that he and Zhao Xunyan, no matter who they were, couldn't die easily.

Zhao Xunyan didn't know when she fed herself this Gu worm, there was nothing unusual about her body, and when she entered the Zhenniang Palace from the secret passage, when she saw her, she was wearing a black dress, sitting neatly in the first seat.

It was a completely sealed house, and no light shone in except for a small opening.

The big night pearl illuminated the inside, Zhen Niang seemed to have thought for a long time, and raised her eyes to look at Zhao Xunyan: "What do you want to tell me?" ”

"Have you ever considered killing the emperor directly?" Zhao Xunyan said with a smile: "Whether you poison or assassinate, he can die directly, and then my soldiers and horses will enter the city immediately."

"You think I'm going to believe you?" Zhen Niang looked at him sarcastically: "Zhao Xunyan, you were cultivated by me, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." ”

"Really?" Zhao Xunyan stood below lightly and looked at her: "If the emperor lingers for another half a year, he will be able to sit firmly in the crown prince's seat, and then we will all be fish and meat on his board." ”

Zhen Niang raised her eyebrows slightly, and stared at him coldly, with a little disdain: "If you listen to me, kill Chu Xi earlier and destroy the Hou Mansion, can you still have today's worries?" ”

Zhao Xunyan stopped and looked at her: "We are not here to quarrel today. ”

"Of course I do." Zhen Niang also stood up: "I have already decided, I will leave the palace tomorrow and leave the capital, and I will not interfere in your affairs again." ”

Zhao Xunyan looked at her in surprise: "Why did you suddenly make such a decision, what happened back then?"

"I've spent my whole life for this revenge, and now that he's dying, I don't need to stick a knife into his heart with my own hands!" After Zhen Niang finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Xunyan mockingly: "I know you still want to kill him, because your mother was not ashamed back then"

"Shut up!" Zhao Xunyan raised his hand and grabbed Zhen Niang's neck, but Zhen Niang slapped him in the face with a backhand: "My people are all guarding the door!" ”

She had already known Zhao Xunyan's wolf ambitions, and he had cultivated them by himself, how could she not understand what he wanted to do!

Zhao Xunyan let go of her coldly, and looked at her with murderous intent: "Then are you planning to kill me today?" ”

"I'm not going to kill you." Zhen Niang's eyes flashed slightly: "I raised you so big, not to kill you." Zhen Niang said lightly, and looked at the night pearl placed in the corner of the wall: "This night pearl is what you have worked so hard to find and send me, I don't have it" Zhen Niang raised her hand to get the night pearl, but the back was pierced by someone.

Zhen Niang lowered her head with wide eyes, looked at the knife that passed through her heart, and muttered: "Why"

"You killed my mother, and you asked me why?" Zhao Xunyan pulled out the knife suddenly, watched her fall to the ground, blood gurgling out, and raised the knife and began to engrave the word '**' on her forehead: "You are just a ** person, but you have been humiliating me with the death of your mother for so many years, just by you, are you worthy?" ”

Zhen Niang wanted to call the people outside, but Zhao Xunyan stepped on her face, and she couldn't even scream.

That night, the pearl fell and rolled down on the corner of the wall, illuminating the corner of the wall brightly, and also reflecting the hideousness of her face at this time.

Zhao Xunyan looked at her coldly, his tense face loosened, and he smiled: "Didn't you always want to see the emperor die of guilt, and now he will die of guilt"

Zhen Niang remembered the sick and weak back when the emperor left that day, and for some reason, knowing that he was going to die of guilt, she actually felt heartache.

"Then I killed his sons again, one by one, and finally took his throne, so that he would regret living in this world, and regret that he deserved to die to my mother and concubine!" Zhao Xunyan said, and picked Zhen Niang's belt open with a knife.

"Hmph, you feel that you are more noble than my mother, what if you die, you are not a more inferior person than the prostitute of Qinglou, Princess Huaiyang, heh" Zhao Xunyan mocked, and put the knife against Zhen Niang's throat: "I will give you a chance now, if you are willing to hand over the score to control the dead, I can dress you well, so that you will not die so embarrassingly." ”

Zhen Niang looked at him and hated a pair of red eyes: "I have raised you for decades"

"Nurturing? You're just feeding me like an animal, and you're just trying to get my life going, just to get revenge on the emperor! Zhao Xunyan almost roared, but when he thought of the people outside, he suppressed his voice again and laughed: "If you don't give the piano score, I can remember about it." You are indeed kind to me, and in return, I will kill the old emperor with my own hands, how about it? ”

The tears in Jane's eyes have turned red: "I won't let you go"

Before she finished her words, Zhao Xunyan gouged out her eyeballs with a sword: "Your eyes have been staring at me for decades, and I hate them so much!" ”

Zhen Niang screamed in pain, but Zhao Xunyan took the opportunity to cut off her tongue, looked at her covered in blood, and sneered: "I have heard enough of what you reprimanded me, and these hands that have repeatedly hit me"

Zhao Xunyan's hands were full of blood, his hands were up and down, and Zhen Niang's right hand was already broken.

Finally heard a slight noise outside, and began to come this way, Zhao Xunyan's evil anger in his heart seemed to be halfway, and he moved the foot that stepped on her: "Princess Huaiyang, who used to be high, is now a terrifying and lowly woman, Huaiyang, you deserve it in this life!" ”

Zhao Xunyan looked at her trembling body, laughed, took a step, and disappeared into the secret room.

Zhen Niang could hear his footsteps leaving, her whole body was already numb with pain, she regretted it now, if she had listened to the emperor yesterday, how good it would have been to leave here.

She could hear the noisy footsteps approaching, and she could hear screams of terror, but the screams of terror were more painful to her than to kill her, and she would rather die like this, than let people see that she was what she is now.

Accompanied by the screams of the palace maids, there were also a large number of footsteps in the secret passage, and in a short time, the general of the Praetorian Guard had already arrived with people: "This is"

"You killed Her Royal Highness!" Someone in the palace maid shouted.

The Praetorian Guards were not good at words, and they retorted when they opened their mouths, but the palace maid was reasonable: "We are all guarding outside, only you are from the secret passage, not who you are!" We're going to report to the Emperor! ”

Zhen Niang was lying on the ground, she wanted to shout, don't, don't tell the emperor, if he really died of guilt, she would regret it even more! Regret decades of obsession with torturing the emperor. regrets cultivating Zhao Xunyan, who did not compromise means, and regrets that he did not compromise means and killed so many people.

When the news reached the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhao Xuanyi was reporting the situation in Pei County with Han Min to the emperor, and the emperor seemed to be in a lack of interest, as if he had already known that Zhao Xuanyi would find out.

Gao Gonggong hurried from outside with a serious face, and when he was about to reach the front of the hall, he fell to the ground without walking steadily.

"You're so old, and I don't know how to be careful." The Emperor laughed.

Gao Gonggong looked at the emperor who was sitting leisurely on the warm couch with his eyes closed, and his voice trembled: "Back to the emperor, Princess Huaiyang."

"What's wrong?" The Emperor still didn't open his eyes.

Gonggong Gao looked at Zhao Xuanyi and then at the emperor, and then plucked up the courage to say, "It's dead." ”

The emperor's hand playing with the string of beads paused slightly, and his voice was much softer: "How did you die?" ”

Gao Gonggong was a little afraid to say it, but the emperor couldn't help but say: "There is a sword in my heart, and there is more"

"Say, don't mother-in-law, are you as old as me and don't remember?" The emperor still spoke in a light tone.

Gao Gonggong knelt on the ground and said, "My clothes have been picked apart, my face has been engraved, my eyes have been gouged out, my tongue has been cut, and my right hand has been cut."

"Alright." Zhao Xuanyi stopped in a cold voice.

Gonggong Gao didn't dare to say any more, the emperor couldn't hold back in the end, and began to cough violently, as if he was going to cough up this life.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and took a handkerchief over to serve carefully, and said to the others: "What are you still doing in a daze, please ask the doctor!" ”

The emperor finally finished coughing before he grabbed his hand and said, "My body is really getting worse and worse. ”

"Father"

"Look at it, even the people in the palace can't protect it, since you are in charge of the Praetorian Guard, check carefully, who did it." The Emperor said.

Outside, another little eunuch came over and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, the palace maid beside Princess Huaiyang asks to see you." Said to know who killed the princess. ”

"Come in." The emperor said, Zhao Xuanyi's palms tightened slightly, remembering what Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi had said before, his face tightened slightly.

As soon as the palace maid came in, she cried and knelt down in front of the palace: "Your Majesty, the slave maid saw that it was the Praetorian Guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who murdered the princess!" She repeated her previous words, and the Praetorian Guards had indeed entered through the secret passage, and no one else had been found on the scene.

Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward, but the emperor only waved his hand tiredly: "This matter will be investigated by the prince." ”

"Your Majesty?" The palace maid didn't expect such a scene, and the emperor raised his cloudy eyes and looked at her: "What's your name?" ”

"Slave Pearl."

"You will be buried with the princess." After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and said to the public: "Old fellow, help me go back to rest, I am tired." ”

Everyone was stunned, including Na Zhu'er.

"I'm still stunned about what to do, I can't hear the emperor's words!" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.

People immediately poured around and dragged Zhu'er down, Han Min seemed to understand the emperor's intentions, from the matter of Peixian, from dealing with King Xiaoyao, to the death of Princess Huaiyang.

Han Min stood up, and the more he recognized such a fact, the more he couldn't stay in this muddy officialdom. Everyone's life and death is a game for those in power, what does it mean for him to do Jing Zhaoyin? Arresting and releasing people is just their game.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people have already helped you deal with the matter of Pei County, and I sincerely ask for permission to leave the palace." Han Min gave up his hands, his hair was a lot grayer, he was much older, and the light of single-minded seeking justice that always flashed in his eyes before was also a lot less.

Zhao Xuanyi looked at him fixedly: "Lord Han, this palace needs you"

"But the grass people have exhausted their talents, and a walking corpse is left behind, so the prince might as well use more knowledgeable and talented people." Han Min still refused.

Zhao Xuanyi had a faint anger on his face: "Now that the palace is in danger, Lord Han is unwilling to stay in danger, this palace can understand, Lord Han will leave the palace first, and tomorrow morning, the palace will send you out of Beijing." ”

When Han Min heard this, he was somewhat disappointed in his heart. The once honest prince has now learned what the emperor taught him so quickly.

Han Min said goodbye, and after Zhao Xuanyi watched him leave, he said, "Come on, keep an eye on him for me." ”

"Yes!"

Han Min is a talent, if he can't use it for himself, he can't use it for others, but if he wants to start now, he can't do it.

Gritting his teeth coldly, Zhao Xuanyi looked back at the blood on his hands when the Emperor was holding him, and walked out.

Chu Xi's carriage had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and after fainting in the afternoon, the memories of her previous life in her mind became fading more and more, so faint that she almost forgot the events of her previous life.

Lin Qingyu came back in the afternoon and told him about today's events. The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she pulled Lin Qingyu out with her.

Seeing Han Min coming, three or four black-clothed people immediately flashed outside the palace, gagged him and quickly took him away.

Chu Xi shouted lightly, but Lin Qingyu grabbed her hand: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

With that, Lin Fu drove the carriage forward.

When I saw Han Min again, it was in a small mansion, Han Min's face was gloomy, and when he saw Lin Qingyu and Chu Xi, he was slightly better, and he told them about what was going on in the palace today, and he also said his thoughts.

"I have already mentioned to the prince that I will leave Beijing tomorrow." Han Min sighed.

Chu Xi naturally understood him, but said, "Let's leave tonight." ”

Han Min was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, so he had to smile bitterly: "Okay." ”

Lin Qingyu looked at him: "This time Princess Huaiyang was killed, who does Lord Han think did it?" ”

Han Min frowned slightly, but now he didn't dare to conclude.

When Lin Qingyu saw this, he knew that he was really dead set on the prince, and he didn't persuade him much: "Once the son of heaven is a courtier." It's good to leave as soon as possible, after all, in these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the people of the world will always have a way to live. ”

Han Min's heart moved slightly, but when he remembered today's events, he still shook his head.

Seeing this, Chu Ji said, "It will be dawn in a short time, so let's get out of the city when the city gate is just opened." ”

"Hmm." Han Min got up, saluted the two, paused, and finally only held back a 'thank you', and then walked away.

After Han Min left, Chu Xi said, "Is the old minister next to the prince enough?" ”

Hearing the slight ridicule in Chu Xi's tone, Lin Qingyu chuckled and took her into his arms: "Don't worry, the prince will have a growth process after all." ”

"When he becomes a monarch like the current emperor, how many more can the old ministers keep?" Chu Xi was indignant in her heart, but she still suppressed it.

Lin Qingyu said: "Didn't you say that you have been tired for the past few days, let's go back and rest early, okay?" ”

Chu Xi looked at him with a slightly tired look; "How many days have you not slept either?"

"I came back overnight." Lin Qingyu deliberately pretended to be pitiful, Chu Xi looked at it, and had to laugh helplessly: "You haven't told me where Old General Yang and Yang Ci are?" ”

"I'm coming back."

"Really?"

"Nature." After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, he looked at the people around him, the corners of his mouth were raised high, no matter how much wind and rain there was in front of them, they would definitely be able to break through.

Not surprisingly, the next day's capital has set off an uproar, the old affairs of Princess Huaiyang and the emperor were turned out, and it was rumored that the prince led the Janissaries to kill Princess Huaiyang last night, coupled with the previous affairs of Jiangfu and the uninterrupted wind and rain in the capital for half a year, the prince's reputation fell to the bottom among the people for a while, and some people even dared to go to the prince's mansion to smash eggs, although they were arrested, but they did not dare to sentence the death penalty, and the people's demand for worship to the sky and the call for the removal of the prince is getting louder and louder.

Chu Xi got up early and leaned on the soft couch, listening to the news that Xiao Fu'er had blown up outside one by one, Aunt Fu said on the side: "Now you can see officers and soldiers running around everywhere in the capital, just because I am afraid that the people will make trouble. ”

"Is the situation already so tense?" Chu Xi fiddled with the safety buckle that Lin Qingyu prepared for the child, and said, "You guys should be careful recently, don't go out of the house for the time being, and wait until this gust of wind comes." ”

"We know, don't dare to trouble Miss." Xiao Fu'er said busily.

Chu Xi bowed her head lightly, what she was most worried about now was the heaven sacrifice ceremony that came out. Although several other princes have come out, where can their identities be as noble as Yao'er, and the prince's reputation has plummeted, if he wants to sacrifice Yao'er to the sky to save his reputation

Chu Xi didn't dare to think about it anymore, but the more she didn't dare to think about it, the more worried she became, because Zhao Xunyan would do this. This incident was provoked by him, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, not only to take revenge on the prince, but also to make himself suspicious of the prince.

"Did Xu Gui let people bring it out?" Chu Xi suddenly asked.

Aunt Fu bowed: "As soon as the prince comes back, he will arrange to do it." ”

"Well, if he comes back and gives him more silver, if he doesn't want to follow me any longer, send him out of the capital, and go as far as possible. If you are still willing to stay, the monthly amount of money will be doubled. Chu Ji said, it is rare that Xu Gui is a person with tight teeth, and it is better for such a person to stay by his side than to betray him.

"Yes." Aunt Fu took the order, Chu Xi looked at the sky outside, thought about it, and said, "Let's go out for a walk." ”

"Yes." Xiao Fu'er helped her to the yard, the anchovies in the yard had bloomed, and the lotus pond not far away had already been covered with green leaves, and the pink lotus buds stood in the sun, and the breeze blew, all of which seemed to have a fragrant fragrance.

Chu Xi sat down in the pavilion by the lake, held a book and flipped through it carefully, but she didn't read it at all, and all she was thinking about in her mind was the things in the city.

"Miss is crazy again." Aunt Fu came over, carrying a bowl of soup and medicine, with a strong bitter taste, which made Xiao Fu'er frown.

Chu Xi took a look, and there was a wave of nausea in her stomach, but she heard someone report from her outside that Chu Dai'er was coming over.

"What is she here for? She's not healed yet. "Little Fu'er doesn't want to see her.

Chu Xi paused and said; "Bring her here."

"Miss, what do you care about her, she won't say anything good when she comes over." Xiao Fu'er hurriedly said: "When you look back, you are angry when you hear it, and the child you give birth to is not good-looking." ”

Chu Xi laughed when she heard her strange argument, there are some things that can't be avoided.

After a while, Chu Dai'er came over. Dressed in a luxurious palace robe in dark chrysanthemum, with a few hairpins on her head, although she painted light makeup on her face, she couldn't hide her sick appearance, she seemed to be a lot more mature when she was dressed like this.

Chu Dai'er looked at Chu Xi from a distance, looking at her sitting by the lotus pond in a pale pink waist-pinching long dress, her eyebrows were calm, she was like a fairy who didn't eat fireworks in the world, she secretly gritted her teeth, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"If the eldest sister is willing to cooperate with me, maybe Zhenniang will not die, and maybe the prince will not be in such a situation." Chu Dai'er walked over, not intending to guard against anyone at all, she knew that this place was full of Chu Xi's people.

Chu Xi looked at her, and her lips raised slightly: "You seem to pity Zhen Niang's death even more." ”

"Naturally, if she doesn't die, I'll be with her"

"Kill Zhao Xunyan, kill your mother, and then kill me, right?" Chu Xi said lightly, she looked at herself, and she never concealed the hatred for herself in her eyes.

When Chu Dai'er saw her debunk, she didn't argue, but smiled: "That's right"

Before she could finish her sentence, the guards around her drew their knives and put them on her neck.

Chu Ji waved her hand lightly to let the sword be removed, and looked at Chu Dai'er: "You don't have to think about it." I won't cooperate with you, although I don't understand why the emperor must leave you in the Hou Mansion, but you will never be able to take revenge if you stay in the Hou Mansion, because if your injuries are not healed, I will not let you go out for a day! Otherwise, stepping out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, you will never want to come back. ”

Chu Dai'er obviously didn't know that the emperor asked her to stay in the Hou Mansion, and after being a little surprised in her heart, she hurriedly covered up her emotions, looked at Chu Xi, and said, "What about the prince?" ”

"Just tell me anything." Chu Xi said lightly.

Chu Dai'er tilted her head slightly and looked at Chu Xi sarcastically: "Why, the eldest sister feels that she is pregnant with a child and can't serve the prince, so she is worried that the prince will fall in love with other women?" ”

Chu Xi didn't expect her to think like this, and raised her eyes to look at her with a smile: "I know better than you what kind of person the prince is." ”

"Really? But big sister, don't forget, if it's a man, it's a man who will steal, and a man will be half-hearted. Do you think that when you are old, the son of the world will be alone with you all day long? I've heard people say that any woman who has a child will be abandoned."

"I don't know where you heard this." Lin Qingyu's voice came from behind.

Chu Dai'er was stunned, and her hand subconsciously raised it to brush the hair around her ear, but before she could turn around, she saw Lin Qingyu directly step forward and walk up to Chu Xi, and pinched her little nose affectionately: "I told you not to come to the pavilion in the cold, how can it be good to turn around and freeze." ”

"I'm not cold"

"It's not cold yet." Lin Qingyu touched her hand helplessly, it was cold, and he hurriedly picked her up: "If you want to bask in the sun, go to a place where there is no strong wind, this lake is humid, and you don't know how to water, in case you accidentally fall down."

Chu Dai'er looked at Lin Qingyu and ignored her like this, and left directly with Chu Xi, her silver teeth clenched: "Lord Shizi, don't you want to know where the King of Freedom and they are hiding now, how can you catch them?" ”

"Your Excellency knows?" Lin Qingyu hugged Chu Xi and turned around.

Chu Dai'er's face was a little better, and the corners of her mouth hooked: "Yes." But what do you want to know"

"Come on, send the nobles of Chu to Dali Temple, and explain Fang Cai's words clearly." Lin Qingyu said, and hurriedly hugged Chu Ji back.

Chu Dai'er's face was pale, Xiao Fu'er covered her mouth and smiled, and stepped forward to greet her: "Noble, are we sending you there, or"

Chu Dai'er closed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart, and then raised her eyes and watched Lin Qingyu leave with Chu Xi in her arms, her eyes full of viciousness.

Xiao Fu'er was frightened by her eyes, but Chu Dai'er just smiled at her, turned her head and walked away directly.

Chu Xi was carried to the room before kicking: "Okay! ”

Lin Qingyu didn't want to be angry, he carefully put her on the soft couch and opened the window on the side, Lin Fu happened to come back from outside, and according to Lin Qingyu's instructions, he came in with some flowers that had no fragrance.

"Next time I go out, I'll have to wait until it's warmer." Lin Qingyu admonished.

Chu Xi laughed helplessly: "How can I be so delicate." ”

"It's always good just in case." Lin Qingyu smiled, and Chu Ji looked at him: "Didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion, why did you come back so early." ”

"When the prince saw the flower seller on the road, he had to bring it back immediately." Lin Fu said on the side.

Chu Xi blinked: "You will spoil me." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't run, you can be as bad as you want." Lin Qingyu laughed, looked at Chu Xi, and then at her stomach, her heart was full of satisfaction.

Chu Xi raised his head abruptly, saw a few strands of hair on his head that had been gray before, and raised his hand to caress it: "It seems that there are more and more." ”

"When the time comes, he will be a peerless beautiful man with white hair." Lin Qingyu's smile became bigger and bigger, the corners of Lin Fu's mouth twitched, and he turned his head silently as if he hadn't heard.

Lin Qingyu laughed with her for a while before leaving, but this time he left Lin Fu behind.

Lin Fu stood outside with a sword, Xiao Fu'er followed Chu Dai inside, remembering Chu Dai'er's eyes before, he still said: "Miss, I see what bad water is holding in the stomach of the fourth young lady, we can't help but guard against it." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi nodded, she also wanted to guard against it, but Chu Dai'er seemed to have the emperor's support now, and there were Zhao Xunyan and the group of southern Xinjiang people outside, so she had to think about it even if she did it.

Thinking of the people of southern Xinjiang, Chu Xi thought of green sandalwood.

"Lin Fu, how is Green Sandalwood now?"

Hearing her question, Lin Fu hurriedly ran in and said, "I have temporarily joined the mission, and I am already coming to the capital, but there are a lot of obstructions along the way, there are people in southern Xinjiang who are doing it, and there are people in the capital." ”

"The people in the capital are Zhao Yiheng, what he is preparing now, he shouldn't want the princes and princesses of southern Xinjiang to get involved, otherwise, he has not yet seized the throne, and he will cause a war between the two countries." Chu Xi said that, and began to carefully consider Zhao Yiheng's affairs, the prince now doesn't know if he has the heart to deal with it, but with Lin Qingyu here, she is not at ease, just waiting for Zhao Yiheng to make a move.

Just thinking about Zhao Yiheng, Yang Ying came over.

Chu Ji remembered what Lin Qingyu said that Yang Ci would not arrive until later, so he instructed the human: "Don't see him first, tell him that the Yang family will arrive later, and let her go back and wait." Chu Xi pondered.

As she was talking, someone ran over again, saying that Chu Dai'er went out, bumped into Yang Ying, and took her away.
