The letter was sent to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department summoned Yang Ying for questioning.

Early in the morning, General Yang stopped at the door: "Without the emperor's holy decree, I see which of you dares to enter my general's mansion to take people!" ”

Yang Qianxiu looked at the people from the Criminal Department who had been prepared in front of him, and knew that the mysterious person who came that day really guessed everything, but she said that as long as Ying'er could get married, it would be fine, was it really okay?

Yang Ci came out with a frightened Yang Ying: "The Criminal Department is to take people, and there is no reason to arrest people indiscriminately without evidence." ”

The person who came from the Criminal Department was greeted by Jiao Simiao, and he had already made preparations: "Major General Yang, how do you know that there is no evidence in the hands of the lower officials?" We didn't come this time to arrest Miss Yang in prison, but just to take her to the criminal department to ask a few words, you are all so nervous, so that the lower officials really doubt whether you have colluded with the eldest prince. ”

"Ying'er can come with you." Yang Ci looked back at Yang Ying, who was holding his sleeve tightly and bowing his head, and was glad in his heart, fortunately he had read the letter in advance, and also comforted Yang Ying in advance: "But I also want to go over together, I am Yang Ying's cousin, and his fiancé, the general of the Yang family is old, and my third uncle is disabled, I have to go together no matter what!" ”

"Resignation!" General Yang was not at ease, Yang Ci just arched his hand towards General Yang: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

The people in the Criminal Department didn't mind this, if General Yang went, he wouldn't agree, and a young general who didn't do anything would not change anything if he went.

"Okay, okay, let's go now, adults are in a hurry." After that, a group of guards with knives surrounded him, Yang Ying looked at Yang Ci with sparkling eyes, and followed him out.

In the distance, someone saw the movement here and immediately went back to pay tribute.

"Did you take it away" Chu Xi carefully touched this news, whether she can protect the Yang family depends on Yang Ci.

Green Sprouts would be in a daze from time to time in the past two days, and Chu Xi didn't ask much. only let people take care of it carefully, but the green sprouts brought the soup over, and they spilled it all on the ground carelessly, burning the back of her hand quickly red.

"Sister Green Shoots, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Fu'er hurriedly asked people to go outside and hold snow to put on the back of her hand.

Green Bud shook his head, stood up and saw Chu Xi in front of him, his lips trembled slightly: "Miss"

Chu Xi looked at her who lowered her eyebrows and didn't speak, and sighed lightly: "You can rest for the past two days." ”

Green Sprout chewed tears in her eyes, opened her mouth and wanted to tell Chu Xi, thought about it, and swallowed all the words back: "Thank you, Miss." ”

Watching Lu Ya leave, Lu Tan walked out of the room: "Miss, do you want to arrest that person?" She kept watch all night last night, and finally in the middle of the night, she saw Green Sprout running out to meet someone quietly, and the person was very strange, covered in clothes, and looked at a woman, but in and out of the backyard of Fengyue places such as Qingfeng Building.

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "No hurry." "Since they entered and exited Qingfeng Tower, that person could be the Great Prince or the King of Ease, but none of them knew that they were involved, so it was unlikely that someone would be sent to stop her. The only possibility is that one of them wants to do something else with the green shoots.

She had to cut off the arm that was reaching for the green sprout this time!

Xiao Fu'er didn't understand what the two were talking about, and only after packing up the things on the ground did she say, "By the way, Miss, my cousin handed me a letter earlier, saying that I wanted to come to see the old lady and the eldest lady. ”

Chu Ji nodded: "You just let Chunzhi lead you there, don't report it." ”

"Then if my cousin is going to come"

"You said I wasn't well." Chu Xi said that, and turned back to the room.

I have received the news from Yun Songyi early this morning, and Elder Yan has already taken him to Hanshan Temple with Lady Yun, as for what method Lady Yun used, Chu Xi also wanted to get it, she just had to tell Elder Yan honestly that once Elder Yan passed away, how difficult the situation between her and Yun Songyi would be, and Elder Yan would be soft-hearted.

No longer thinking about this, Chu Xi faintly waited for Lin Qingyu's news to come.

In the prison, Zheng Yun promised no less than a hundred times, and Zhao You was relieved: "I promise you to let you out." ”

Zheng Yun smiled with satisfaction: "It's good if you want to understand." ”

Zhao You began to open his voice and shouted outside: "Come on, I want to see my mother, I want to see my father!" ”

At this time, an errand hurriedly came, after all, something like last night happened, and the emperor was already furious, I heard that Xu Minzhong was scolded by the emperor in the court today.

"I went outside to deliver a letter, and said that Zheng Yun was deceived by this prince, and this matter has nothing to do with him." Zhao Youdao.

The "this" officer was obviously a little embarrassed: "The eldest prince, you also know that the little ones can't even step at the palace gate, and they can't help you deliver the letter." ”

"Idiot, who asked you to go to the palace, I want you to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion and find Zhao Xuanyi." Zhao You said impatiently.

The two officers looked at each other, who didn't know that the eldest prince and the eighth prince were mortal enemies, how could the eighth prince help the eldest prince.

"This big prince, the eighth prince is busy with official business"

"Don't prevaricate with me here, I tell you, now go to the Eighth Prince for me immediately, tell him what Fang just said, and then tell him to come to the prison, I have something important to tell him, I have a handle in my hand, he will definitely come!" Zhao You said everything according to Zheng Yun's instructions before, pinched the waist card in his hand that was turned over from the assassin that day, and his heart was a little more stable.

Seeing that Zhao You's tone was so loud, the two officers thought that he had a way to get rid of his crimes, so he dared to slack off, so he nodded and ran out.

Zhao You snorted, flicked his sleeves and turned his head to sit down, but he heard footsteps coming from behind, and turned his head impatiently: "Why, haven't you heard the words of this prince clearly!" Zhao You turned back impatiently, but when he turned his head, he saw Zhao Xunyan, the king of leisure, who raised the corners of his lips.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao You frowned dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Xunyan raised his hand, and immediately a servant came up and opened the prison door: "Let's talk in another place." Zhao Xunyan said lightly.

Zhao You looked at him with a suspicious face: "No, I'm here, without my father's holy decree, I won't go anywhere." ”

Seeing Zhao You, who was suddenly so suspicious of himself, Zhao Xunyan smiled, turned around and looked at Zheng Yun who was sleeping in the opposite cell: "Then trouble General Zheng to move a place first." ”

The messenger who came with him immediately stepped forward and brought Zheng Yun out.

As soon as Zheng Yun saw Zhao Xunyan, he laughed: "The prince is here to save me and the eldest prince from going out?" ”

Zhao Xunyan glanced at him sarcastically, raised his hand to let him out, and turned to look at Zhao You: "The eldest prince, you are very wary of me, is it because I haven't shown up in the past few days?" Zhao Xunyan said that, and walked into the prison lightly, and the others also retreated with interest.

Zhao You seemed to know that he would ask this sentence, so he sneered and found a place to sit down: "Uncle Xiaohuang, don't think I don't know what you want to do." You're here to persuade me not to tell me what you're doing. ”

"I'll get you out"

"Come on, Uncle Xiaohuang, I don't know how ruthless your methods are? It's a pity, now that I've seen everything clearly, you just plan to use me, get rid of my brothers, take the opportunity to accumulate your own power, and wait for the day when you can seek a usurpation of the throne, so as to avenge your dead mother, am I right? Zhao You said loudly.

The smile on Zhao Xunyan's face gradually fell: "The eldest prince seems to know a lot of things." ”

Zhao You snorted: "Not only that, I also know that you had to send someone to kill me yesterday!" ”

Zhao Xunyan didn't refute it, if it was before, he would have had a good time, but now he seems to have lost this interest: "It seems that Zheng Yun is really not your person, is it the eighth person?" ”

Zhao Xunyan seemed to be talking to himself, Zhao You frowned when he heard it: "Zhao Xunyan, I can tell you now, even if you are skillful, I will not close my mouth and be a dead ghost, I am dead, and I will definitely pull you on my back, don't forget, my mother is the queen of the dynasty, although my grandfather's family has declined, but I have not been this prince for nothing over the years, if you dare to touch me, the pickled things you did will spread all over the capital tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Xunyan looked at Zhao You, who was ruthless, and smiled: "If you had this ruthlessness from the beginning, what old seven, eight, eight, and ten would have died a long time ago, how could you still be where you are today?" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jiao Simiao followed behind: "Lord Wang, is it up to him?"

"Do you think this king will let him ruin my good deeds, but after taking his life, I'm afraid that there will be a substitute for the dead" Zhao Xunyan said gloomily, the corners of his mouth were hooked evilly, he looked back at Zheng Yun who was locked in another cell, and paused: "I'm really curious now, who your real master is." ”

Zheng Yun smiled: "You may not believe it when you say it, that is"

"Who is it?" Jiao Simiao asked hurriedly.

Zheng Yun glanced at him: "That's the smartest person in the world today!" ”

Jiao Simiao was so angry that he wanted to strangle him, but Zhao Xunyan just glanced at him lightly, and left with a step.

Xu Minzhong returned to Xu's mansion, just as Xu Jin was waiting, seeing him with a sad face, he said cautiously: "Father, mother asked Jin'er to ask her father how much of the dowry to prepare for her daughter?" ”

Xu Minzhong was a little annoyed: "For such a trivial matter, your mother is in charge." ”

Xu Jin's face was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "But my mother said that I am a concubine, and I married someone as a side concubine, and twenty-four dowries are enough."

Xu Minzhong stopped and glanced at her with a headache: "Go and tell your mother, just say what I ordered, you must marry the same as your sister's regulations, and there must be a dowry of one hundred and forty-eight." ”

Xu Jin nodded hurriedly: "My daughter understands." After that, he said: "By the way, father, do you know the daughter of Prime Minister Chu's family?" ”

"You said that you were in the other courtyard with King Xiaoyao" Xu Minzhong suddenly realized that it was not good to say these words in front of his daughter, so he stopped and said, "What do you ask her to do?" ”

"I heard that Mrs. Chu is sick, and now she is the eldest lady of the Chu family, and she used to have some friendship with Sister Yun, so Jin'er wanted to go over and take a look." Xu Jin said in a soft voice.

Xu Minzhong thought about it and disagreed: "The reputation of the second daughter of the Chu family is ruined, you go over at this time, and you don't have to be gossiped about." Xu Minzhong said that he left, Xu Jin thought about it, and directly sent a letter to Chu Mansion.

Xu Minzhong originally helped save Chu Qitai, so Chu Bingsong was still a little grateful to him, but when he saw Xu Jin's words, his face darkened.

"Someone!" Chu Bingsong had just come back from outside, and he hadn't had time to change out of his official robe.

"Master, what's wrong?" Steward Zhu hurriedly came forward to serve.

Chu Bingsong said: "Second Miss, the matter has been spread all over the city?" ”

Steward Zhu nodded hesitantly: "It seems that the news just came out, and even the previous incident in Hanshan Temple was instigated and spread, and the slave sent someone to investigate." It seems to have the shadow of the Dingguo Mansion."

Chu Bingsong's face darkened: "Is the eldest lady better?" ”

Steward Zhu nodded: "I'm more awake, I can drink some porridge, but I always have to light up the room at night before I dare to sleep." ”

"Hmph, she's a little timid now, go tell someone, and send the eldest lady to the Dingguo Mansion to recuperate today." Chu Bingsong said indifferently.

Steward Zhu's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head in response.

Chu Bingsong didn't have time to go back to the room to change his clothes, so he hurried out again: "Come on, prepare a horse to go to the Xiaoyao Palace!" "If King Xiaoyao doesn't marry Chu Zhenzhen, she will be rotten in the Prime Minister's Mansion and will make the Prime Minister's Mansion stink.

Chu Bingsong left in a hurry, and Li Xiao, who had just rushed over, couldn't help but feel cold when he heard his words. Now that the eldest lady Qin Xue is sick, everyone knows that she is not dealing with the Duchess of Dingguo, wouldn't it cost her her life to send her back at this time?

Li Xiao didn't go out after all, thinking of so many things that have happened since he entered Beijing, he can be regarded as knowing some 'rules'.

"Childe, shall we still go to the eldest lady's?" The guy on the side asked.

Li Xiao looked at Shi Chen and shook his head slightly: "That's it." If I go to my eldest sister, she won't see me, because I'm too reckless. ”

"Shall we go back now?" The little guy said again.

Li Xiao remembered the words that came in a hurry yesterday, and nodded: "Go back first, prepare to prepare, I will go to Hanshan Temple to live for a day or two in the past two days." Chu Xi has good intentions for him, he naturally remembers it, although she has been engaged to someone else, but now that her mother's family is like this, she may boast about it one day. So he had to work harder, even if it was to help her later when she needed it.

Li Xiao made up her mind, and her heart was a lot more relaxed, so she took a step and left.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Chu Xi heard that Chu Bingsong was going to send Qin Xue to the Dingguo Mansion, so he came out of the Zhujin Pavilion.

Ruyiyuan's current momentum is tense, and Chu Zhenzhen still has a little conscience, at least under Qin Xue's bitter pleading, she also won a hand.

Steward Zhu's expression was indifferent: "Second Miss, it's not that you don't treat you as a master." It's really the master's order, and the minions have no other way, so don't embarrass the minions. ”

"Dog, what are you talking to me about here, father, this is the backyard, what you are going to take away is the housewife, do you think this is your backyard?" Chu Zhenzhen coldly sarcastic.

Steward Zhu was not angry, and sneered: "The slave doesn't dare to think so, but this minion must be taken away today!" After Steward Zhu finished speaking, he directly asked people to step forward and help Qin Xue up from the quilt.

Qin Xue's limbs didn't seem to have regained consciousness yet: "Call Chu Bingsong, call Chu Bingsong, who has no conscience!" Qin Xue shouted, and the previous scenes also appeared in front of him. At that time, she was still in her youth, and the halo of the first talented woman in the capital was buckled on her, Chu Bingsong, who was still a poor boy at the time, could only write poems to her every day, saying that she would be good to her for the rest of her life, but now, she was bullied by a few subordinates.

Chu Zhenzhen saw that they did it directly, and stepped forward and slapped the two mothers-in-law. Unexpectedly, the woman glared at her viciously, and she was stunned and didn't dare to move.

Qin Xue was still shouting, and when she saw Chu Zhenzhen, her eyes were red: "Zhenzhen, save my mother, my mother will definitely not survive if she returns to the Dingguo Mansion, the Bai family will not let me go, and Qin Fei's soul will not let me go."

Chu Zhenzhen was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, she only swallowed her saliva, looked at Qin Xue who was screaming like a ghost, and said, "Mother, don't worry, when I marry King Xiaoyao and become the princess, I will take you out immediately, and you will live in the Dingguo Mansion for a few days." ”

Steward Zhu laughed at this time: "Second Miss, this is the right thing, now the eldest lady can't do anything here, shouting all day long that there is a wronged soul, it doesn't make people feel unlucky, when the time comes, King Xiaoyao will use this as an excuse to refuse to marry you, what should I do?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth slightly. He stepped back to the side and didn't speak at all. She must marry the King of Ease, otherwise, her life will be over.

Seeing this, Steward Zhu's eyes were full of sarcasm, looking at Qin Xue, who had already been dressed and covering her mouth, and said, "Send the eldest lady back to her parents' house to visit relatives, you all be careful to serve, if you don't serve comfortably on the road, I will chop off your hands when I turn around!" ”

When Qin Xue heard the 'chopping hand', her face turned pale, as if she felt that Yang Pei, who had been made a human being, was lying on her back again at this moment, and her eyes couldn't help but widen, and she began to turn pale and sweat profusely.

Chu Zhenzhen watched Qin Xue being taken away like this, and then she sat down on the stool.

"Is Chu Ji here? Is Grandmother coming? Chu Zhenzhen suddenly asked.

The girl ring below hurriedly shook her head, and Chu Zhenzhen stood up again: "Let's go, go to Ronghua Courtyard!" ”

At this time, Chu Xi was standing in the Ronghua Courtyard, and Bai Xue handed the umbrella in her hand to her standing at the door with some embarrassment: "The old lady is still taking a nap, why don't you go to the flower hall and wait." ”

"No need." Chu Xi knew that the old lady was doing this on purpose: "Ronghua Courtyard is so big, I'll take a look around, Sister Bai Xue doesn't care about me, just call me when my grandmother wakes up." ”

Bai Xue had to nod helplessly, and Chu Zhen also sat in the gazebo not far away, until Chu Zhenzhen rushed over angrily.

Chu Zhenzhen was annoyed that Chu Xi didn't help her, but she couldn't blame Chu Xi and could only walk towards her angrily.

At this moment, Brother Hong was running in through the side door, playing with Yahuan. Yanxue took him to live here for a while, and it seemed that he was about to fade out of everyone's sight, but now Chu Zhenzhen saw it, and she was angry, and quickly stepped forward and took two steps, so that Brother Hong, who was having a good time, bumped into her leg.

Brother Hong fell to the ground, raised his head and looked at Chu Zhenzhen with an angry face: "Which sister are you?" ”

"Hmph, you little cub, you only know your big sister, right? What are you running around here now, don't you know that your grandmother is resting? You are a concubine, why do you dare to bump into me" Chu Zhenzhen asked sharply, where had Brother Hong seen such a battle, and he was so frightened that he cried.

Hearing this cry, Chu Zhenzhen was annoyed, so she kicked him twice when she lifted her foot: "I'll make you cry"

Yanxue hurriedly came up to protect the child, and Chu Xi also frowned: "He is only seven years old, and he is still your younger brother, and he is not careful to hit you, you just scold you for two sentences, do you do it like a second lady from the Xiangfu family!" ”

Hearing Chu Xi's words, she became even more angry in her heart, bent down and tore away the smoke and snow, and looked at Brother Hong coldly: "Little cub, you don't know that your own mother is dead, let me tell you, I was killed by your aunt, because she couldn't give birth to a son, so she wanted to take you over."

Brother Hong cried even louder, Yanxue wanted to hug the child, but Brother Hong kicked away: "You go away, murderer, you killed my mother"

Chu Ji looked at Brother Hong, who had learned to kick people with his feet with Chu Zhenzhen, and his face was even darker, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes peeking not far away.

Is this what the old lady wants to see, squeeze out Yanxue, and then raise Brother Hong under her own name, so that he can become the heir of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.

"The second sister spoke falsely and provoked a fight in the backyard, I don't know what my father would think if he found out." Chu Xi came over and asked the nurse to hug Brother Hong'er, but left smoke and snow.

Chu Zhenzhen was restrained everywhere in front of Chu Xi, and the anger that had been pent up before suddenly erupted: "Chu Zhen, let me tell you, I want to be a princess, even if you get married, you will only be a princess." When you see me, don't forget to kowtow! You should be on your toes now, hmph, I'll see how long you can be majestic! ”

Bai Xue held back for a long time, and finally got the old lady's instructions and walked out, looked at Chu Xi, and saluted several people: "The old lady ordered, please let the second lady in." ”

Seeing this, Chu Zhenzhen's chin was raised, she stared at Chu Zhenzhen, snorted lightly and turned her head to leave.

Yanxue clenched her teeth with red eyes: "She doesn't care about anything now!" ”

Chu Ji saw that the person who had just eavesdropped had left, and then turned around and returned to the pavilion with her: "She will marry sooner or later, but it is not Chu Zhenzhen who threatens you, it is the old lady." ”

"Old lady?" Yanxue was puzzled: "Didn't you ask me to come over and say that she could protect Brother Hong'er?" ”

Chu Xi looked at the snow in this courtyard, and said lightly: "The old lady can protect Brother Hong'er, but she didn't say how to protect it." Now that Qin Xue has been sent away, I am afraid that there will be no chance to come back. As soon as Chu Zhenzhen got married, this family would be an old lady's again. Now that the eldest son Chu Qitai has been exiled, the Chu family has no son-in-law, and the old lady likes Brother Hong very much, do you think she will let Brother Hong continue to be raised in your name? ”

Yan Xue's eyes were red: "If he is willing to raise Brother Hong, it doesn't matter, I just need to avenge Wang Gui." ”

Chu Xi shook his head slightly: "Where is it so simple to avenge Wang Gui, your enemy is more powerful than you think." Chu Xi looked at her: "After Chu Zhenzhen leaves, you can live in peace." ”

Yan Xue looked at Chu Xi in surprise: "Don't you still want to take revenge"

"Those have nothing to do with you, since you don't have to be involved now, you don't need to be involved, save your life in vain." Chu Xi said lightly, if Qin Xue can die in the hands of the Bai family, and Chu Zhenzhen can marry into the Xiaoyao Palace, she can stretch her hands and feet. She was 90% sure that Chu Dai'er and his accomplices had done Wang Gui's death, but if Yanxue wanted to seek revenge on Chu Dai'er, she could only take her life.

"Eldest Miss" Yanxue didn't know what to say, she knew that Chu Xi was for her good, but Wang Gui was dead. If the old lady really didn't let her take Brother Hong'er with her, she really didn't know what else she had to live.

At this time, Bai Xue had already come out, and Chu Xi also stood up: "The old lady should give you news later, and you shouldn't be too sad when the time comes." Chu Xi looked at the sad Yanxue and didn't know how to comfort her. The woman in the back house doesn't seem to live for the man, or for the child, and when the man dies and the child is gone, she will drift away like a rootless duckweed and lose its direction. She swore she would never do this in her life.

Bai Xue looked at Chu Xi, who came over, and was a little apologetic: "Miss, the old lady also has her own considerations. ”

"I understand." Chu Xi bowed her head slightly and walked in.

At this moment, Chu Zhenzhen was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and Brother Hong was snuggling in the arms of the old lady and smoking, but she didn't dare to look at Chu Zhenzhen.

"Here we are." The old lady spoke.

Chu Xi saluted: "I was bored sitting in the room in the afternoon, so I wanted to come to my grandmother to talk." ”

The old lady asked people to bring tea and smiled: "Xiao'er is here today." said that he was recommended by you, and he was going to see the boss of the Yan Mansion in the next two days. ”

Chu Xi didn't expect Li Xiao to believe this old lady so much, and told her all this, sighed in her heart, and only smiled: "It just so happened that Miss Yun came over yesterday and said that Boss Yan was going up the mountain, so I casually mentioned it." ”

The old lady looked at her deeply: "Really? You are very good with this Miss Yun, I heard that the Marquis of Anping Mansion is also very protective of you, and as soon as you said a word, they went into the palace to ask for a royal doctor for Lord Yan. ”

Hearing the old lady's words, Chu Xi's heart was slightly cold, she didn't expect her to probe her every move so carefully, is this going to eat herself.

"Ji'er handed over the post in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I didn't expect that the Marquis of Anping really went to the palace to ask for a royal doctor." Chu Ji said.

"Really?" The old lady saw that she shirked everywhere, and was a little annoyed: "It seems that you are still not at ease with your grandmother, and you refuse to tell your grandmother the truth about anything." ”

Chu Xi only got up and bent her knees: "You don't dare." ”

"Hmph, big sister is very majestic now, what else is there to dare." Chu Zhenzhen said sarcastically.

The old lady also looked at her: "Grandmother wants to ask you to do me a favor." ”

Chu Xi saw that she finally spoke her purpose. Instead, he smiled: "Grandmother, please say, I will help if I can." ”

When the old lady saw her like this, she felt that something was wrong, but in the end she still said: "Brother Hong is now seven years old, and when he reaches the age of going to school, you tell An Pinghou to let Brother Hong go to school in Tai Academy." ”

Rao is Bai Xue was stunned, what kind of place is that Tai Academy, that is the boundary where the children of the emperor's relatives go to school, Mo said that Brother Hong is just a concubine, that is, a concubine, and now he is only seven years old, how can he enter.

"This" Chu Ji looked embarrassed, but the old lady sank her face: "Why, you don't want to help with this little favor?" ”

"Not really." Chu Ji looked at Old Madam Chu: "Then I'll try, if it can be done, I don't dare to guarantee it." ”

"Hmph, you can even ask for an imperial doctor for outsiders. Now you just let Brother Hong go to school, and you will shirk it in every way, what's the matter, isn't my grandmother as an outsider? The old lady began to be aggressive, wanting Chu Xi to agree.

Chu Xi's face was embarrassed: "Ji'er try, but Tai Academy is not a place where ordinary people can go"

"Ordinary people? Brother Hong is your own brother, and you are also the future princess of the Marquis of Anping, they won't even give you this face? I heard that Anping Hou just received an errand from Tai Academy, if he can't help with this little favor, I don't think you need to marry such a person! The old lady was both soft and hard, but Chu Zhenzhen was very happy to see the excitement.

Chu Xi lowered her eyebrows: "Yes." ”

When the old lady saw that she answered, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand: "Okay, go down, I'm tired." ”

Chu Xi saluted, looked at Brother Hong, who was still red and full of hatred, and felt pity in her heart, but she couldn't keep this child by her side, so she could only be taken by the old lady. What kind of development will be in the future depends on his own creation.

Out of the Ronghua Courtyard, Lu Tan was so angry that he wanted to jump up: "Why is this old lady so shameless, she said that if you don't marry, you won't marry, Miss, you are a marriage from the emperor, what kind of green onion is she!" Besides, is that Tai Academy a concubine like Brother Hong able to go, even the concubines of the Hou Mansion may not be able to enter, and the old lady really treats her grandson as a baby. ”

Chu Xi frowned slightly: "Okay, don't talk about Brother Hong." As soon as Chu Xi finished speaking, Lu Tan noticed that there was movement behind him, and when he saw that it was Bai Xue who came in a hurry with Brother Hong.

Bai Xue's face was embarrassed, and Brother Hong blushed and looked at Chu Xi with hatred on his face.

Chu Xi frowned slightly and glanced at Bai Xue: "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Xue bit her lip: "It was the old lady who said, let Brother Hong go back to live with you for a while." ”

"I'm not going, I'm not going!" Brother Hong began to shout with red eyes, and Bai Xue pressed him. He learned Chu Zhenzhen's kick Bai Xue's calf with his foot.

Bai Xue frowned in pain, and Lu Tan was so angry that he lifted him up: "I don't know how to feel sorry for people at a young age, and it will be a scourge when I grow up in the future."

"Green sandalwood!" Chu Xi glanced at her: "Put the child down first." ”

Lu Tan gritted his teeth, and when Brother Hong saw Chu Ji talking to help him, he shouted at Lu Tan: ", put me down!" ”

Chu Xi listened to his words, knowing that the subordinates who usually took him did not teach him well, and raised his eyes to look at Bai Xue: "Is he usually like this?" ”

Bai Xue bit her lip slightly and nodded: "Third Miss and Aunt Nie often come over, and there are two mothers-in-law in the courtyard who are open-mouthed."

Chu Xi's face was slightly cold: "You take him back, tell your grandmother, if there is another Chu Qitai in the Chu Mansion, I'm afraid it will really be over." Chu Xi wasn't afraid that the Chu Mansion was over, she just felt that this child was a pity, and when she came in, she was just a simple and lively ordinary child.

Bai Xue nodded slightly: "The slave knows." After that, he took Brother Hong'er, who was carried by Lu Tan, down and took him back.

Lu Tan pouted: "If it goes on like this, he will be wasted sooner or later." ”

Chu Xi didn't speak, only turned his head and walked towards the Jin Pavilion.

"Miss, do you really want to send news to the Hou Mansion?" Green Sandalwood Road.

Chu Ji bowed her head, she originally wanted to make Old Madam Chu the target of public criticism, after all, when this word spread, everyone knew that the old lady was unreasonable, but when she saw Brother Hong just now, she changed her mind. She came to take revenge, there was no need to take this child, but even if he entered the Tai Academy, how he could be cultivated was his own business, and whether he lived or died in the future, he had nothing to do with her.

In the evening, Lin Qingyu finally came to the news, the eighth prince Zhao Xuanyi saw the eldest prince and wrote to Zheng Yun to intercede, Zheng Yun was moved out of the prison, and it should be fine if he went through the motions again, but Chu Xi only needs Zheng Yun not to be in the prison, so that King Xiaoyao will be more daring. As for the Yang family, Yang Ci was there, but the people from the Criminal Department didn't ask anything, and Yang Ying also insisted that the letter was sent over because of anger, and the Criminal Department had no conclusive evidence, so they could only let them go.

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and now, he is just waiting for the King of Freedom to stretch out his hand!

It was getting dark outside, it was the end of February, and the heavy snow had not meant to stop.

After dinner, Lu Tan hurriedly came in and whispered in Chu Xi's ear, "Lu Ya went out to see that person again." ”

"Follow carefully tonight and see who the man is under his orders." Chu Ji said.

"Then do you want to ask Green Shoots, what the hell did that guy tell her to do?" Green Sandalwood was a little worried.

Chu Xi thought for a while: "Don't ask for the time being, Green Sprouts won't hurt me no matter what, and if you ask her now, she won't be willing to say." ”

Green sandalwood bowed: "I understand, I'll go down and stare at it." ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji bowed his head and waited for Lu Tan to leave, before he said to Xiao Fu'er and Chunzhi: "You guys are waiting outside tonight, I want to have a good rest, no matter who comes, I won't see anyone." ”

"What if it's the old man or the two young ladies?" Xiao Fu'er said busily.

Chu Xiwaner: "You only said that I had a bad month, but they won't come over tonight." "Chu Bingsong just went to the Xiaoyao Palace, and now that he has come back, he should be pulling Chu Zhenzhen to discuss her affairs with the old lady, as for Chu Xiuxiu, the two maids should be able to stop it.

"Miss, what if there is a special situation?" Chunzhi asked timidly, Chu Ji saw that she seemed to have guessed something, and smiled deeply: "If you really can't stop it, let them in." ”

Chunzhi looked at her eyes and hurriedly lowered her head: "The slave understands." ”

After Chu Ji returned to the room, he looked at the people who were already waiting, turned his head and blew out the candles in the room.

Zhao Xunyan was annoyed at this moment, looking at the people below: "What about Jiao Simiao?" ”

"He didn't know what he heard at noon today. After drinking wine in Jinghua Building for a day, he is now drunk and unconscious. The people below were busy.

Mr. Jiao sat on one side, his face darkened, and he got up and arched his hand at him: "The villain will go back and kill this useless one!" ”

Zhao Xunyan glanced at him: "That's it, he is a first-time offender, this king can not punish him, let people go and find him back, and let him come to see me when he wakes up tomorrow!" ”

The people below hurriedly retreated, and Mr. Jiao sat back. As if thinking of something, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Xunyan: "Lord Wang, what did Prime Minister Chu say?" ”

"What does Mr. Jiao think?" Zhao Xunyan said.

Mr. Jiao also shook his head in embarrassment: "Second Miss Chu has a bad reputation, and she will definitely not be able to enter the Xiaoyao Palace, but if she is not allowed to marry in, she is afraid of Prime Minister Chu's side."

Zhao Xunyan also had a headache, this one was completely unexpected by him, but did he have the energy to check during this time.

"Let's not talk about it. As for the second-grade general Zheng Yun, what does Mr. think? Zhao Xunyan said.

"This person is a rare talent, if the prince can let him stand on our side, we will be like a tiger, not to mention that this person has been on the battlefield all the year round, not to mention the real power, those soldiers also recognize him as a general, and his appeal is stronger than that of the Yang family's major generals who have not been on the battlefield for a long time." Mr. Jiao stroked his beard and said solemnly.

Zhao Xunyan listened, but what he was thinking about was not how to win over, but how to destroy Zheng Yun. This person has no money to bear, and he still holds such real power, which is more dangerous than the Yang family.

"The eighth went to see Zhao You today and fished Zheng Yun out of the prison, Zheng Yun may already be the eighth person, so this person doesn't need to think about wooing for the time being." Zhao Xunyan said coldly.

Mr. Jiao nodded: "It's old and confused." ”

Zhao Xunyan glanced at him: "Mr. Jiao has been focusing on Jiao Simiao these days, and he should pay attention to these things." It's not too early, so let's go back and rest. ”

Mr. Jiao listened to his words and was full of apologies. He got up and saluted, and then left with the others.

After everyone left, a woman in a black dress came out of the darkroom behind the study.

"He's already pedantic, what are you keeping him for?"

Zhao Xunyan saw that it was her, got up and saluted: "Although he is pedantic, those sour and rotten literati in the court are people like him, even if he can't give advice if he keeps it, he can finally block the mouths of those people in the court." ”

Zhen Niang glanced at him coldly: "Zhao You, what are you going to do?" ”

"Originally, I planned to let him bite out of Lao Ba and the Yang family, but now I haven't bitten any of them." There was murderous aura in Zhao Xunyan's eyes.

Zhen Niang sat down lightly, elegantly picked up the teacup, and tasted it carefully before saying, "Don't you know that you have been calculated?" Zhao You's pig brain, do you think he can hide from your design? But now that you've repeatedly missed, haven't you ever doubted it? ”

"Didn't the eighth get in the way? The eighth now has a cadre of ministers left by the old minister, and a Lin Qingyu, both of which are not simple. Zhao Xunyan stood in front of Zhen Niang and said.

Zhen Niang raised her eyes to look at her, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became cloudy: "I have taught you for so many years, and you only see these?" ”

Zhao Xunyan frowned: "Is there anyone else interfering, I have already controlled the Great Prince's Party, and the only one who has not controlled it is Zheng Yun." Although it is not clear who his real master is, it is likely that he is following the eighth child. ”

Zhen Niang sneered and shook her head in disappointment: "Zhao Xunyan, I see that you are really getting more and more useless." ”

Zhao Xunyan's face was as dark as iron: "Please teach the princess"

"Smack----!

Zhen Niang slapped him in the face: "I warned you, don't call me that, why can't you always remember, do you have to engrave these words on your face so that you can remember!" Jane almost roared.

Zhao Xunyan endured his anger and didn't say a word: "Please teach Zhenniang." ”

Seeing her like this, Zhen Niang snorted coldly: "You go to check the eldest daughter of the Chu family!" ”

"Chu Xi?" Zhao Xunyan looked at her in surprise, and Zhen Niang snorted coldly; "I already knew that something was wrong with this girl, but if it wasn't for the nunnery's escape, I really wouldn't have imagined that she would have such a delicate mind!" Zhen Niang said and was about to leave, but she seemed to think of something: "You will deal with Zhao You tonight?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Xunyan bowed his head: "By Xu Minzhong's hand, the blame will be on Xu Minzhong." ”

Zhen Niang thought about it, but didn't say more: "There are not many people around you, save some use." With that, he turned his head and disappeared into the dark passage again.

The guards hurried up. Angry: "Lord Wang, do you want to go down and kill her!" ”

Zhao Xunyan's eyes narrowed dangerously, but in an instant, the knife in his hand fell, and the guard who had just spoken had been killed with a knife.

Zhao Xunyan threw the inverted knife in his hand on the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and then threw the handkerchief on the face of the attendant: "Whoever dares to be disrespectful to Zhenniang in the future will end up like this." ”

His tone was very light, but the people around him lowered their heads in fright and held their breath.

Zhao Xunyan remembered what Zhen Niang had just said, and his expression was slightly cold: "Inform Xu Minzhong that the plan will go on as usual, and then send someone to find Chu Bingsong to see if Chu Xi is at home tonight!" If she really dared to design herself, he swore that he would be the first to pinch her little neck!
