The second lady left with Chu Rou and immediately went to find Chu Dai'er.

When they arrived, Chu Dai'er was watering the flowers in the yard, but the flowers she planted looked very weird, the stamens were all black, and they had a strange aroma, which made people feel a headache when they smelled it.

The second lady took Chu Rou to stand far away, and said Chu Xi's words word for word, before she said, "Dai'er, what do you say about this, didn't you tell your aunt that Chu Xi will definitely leave Rou'er?" ”

"Naturally, it will stay."

"But now"

"I didn't say I would stay right away." Chu Dai'er put down the work in her hand, got up, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and then looked at her with a smile: "Second aunt, since you said that you were going to jump the city tower, then hurry up." ”

"What?" The second lady was stunned and hurriedly waved her hand: "I don't really want to jump off the building, I just want to scare and scare."

"Yes, scare and scare, but do you think a few words can scare Chu Xi?" Chu Dai'er approached with a smile as if she was reading a joke, raised her hand to pick up Chu Rou's chin, looked at her face, and said: "It's a little similar to Chu Rou, especially these eyes, so don't worry, as long as you enter the Hou Mansion, Lin Shizi will definitely like you, after all, men like the new and hate the old, right?" ”

Chu Rou's face was embarrassed, and the second lady looked at Chu Dai'er worriedly: "Dai'er, you are so smart, you can help your second aunt, now your second uncle has been placed in a place where birds don't, if we follow and stay for ten years, Rou'er's future will be over, and I will be satisfied, and I will be satisfied with the county official of Qipin, but you said that if it passes, Rou'er will definitely not even be able to marry an official eunuch and become a commoner, won't I suffer in vain." ”

"You are a daughter of seven grades, just stay in the capital, how good do you think you can marry? Officials above the sixth rank basically do not stay in the capital, and they are also sent everywhere, and the officials above the sixth rank can marry Rou'er unless they are concubines in the family or people with hidden diseases, but even so, can they compare to noble families such as the Marquis of Anping? A subordinate of the Marquis of Anping is now richer than you. Chu Dai'er smiled lightly, saw the yearning in Chu Rou's eyes, and said: "The words have come to this, besides, I will pry you again, whether you do this thing or not, it is up to the second aunt." After Chu Dai'er finished speaking, she looked at Chu Rou deeply: "It's a pity that Rou'er's face is gone." If you are born in a rich family, what kind of husband can't marry. ”

Chu Rou watched her leave stupidly, her eyes full of yearning, and she became more and more confident: "Mother"

The second lady glanced at her hatefully: "For the sake of glory and wealth, do you want your mother to die?" ”

When Chu Rou heard this, she hurriedly closed her mouth.

Seeing her like this, the second lady thought about Chu Dai'er's words, and gritted her teeth: "Let's go, let's go back and discuss again." With that, he took her and left.

Chu Dai'er stood at the door, watching the people leave, and then laughed.

"Someone."

"What does Miss Fourth command?"

"Help me deliver a letter to my second sister." Chu Dai'er said with a smile: "Just tomorrow, the second lady will be forced by Chu Xi to jump off the city tower, so that she can leave the mansion if she can, if this opportunity is missed, she will have to wait for the next one." ”

"Yes."

Chu Dai'er looked at the slowly sinking sky, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the show seemed to be kicking off.

At this time, in the Hou Mansion, Lin Qingyu was called away by the prince, and Chu Xi was the only one left at night.

The courtyard where Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu live is called Jinyuan. Those who serve inside and outside are all kung fu and safe.

"Where's the green shoots?" Chu Ji asked when he returned to the courtyard.

Xiao Fu'er ran out of it and hurriedly saluted: "Sister Luya is preparing her wedding dress, and she didn't have time to make it, so she bought a tailor-made one, and she was embroidering at this moment." ”

Xiao Fu'er looked very happy, she didn't understand these things, anyway, she only knew that Lu Ya married the person she liked, and she felt happy.

"Hmm." Chu Ji didn't say much when she heard this, turned her head and went back to the room to change her clothes, and then left in a carriage with Lu Tan and the two of them from the back corner door, and the people of Wuji Pavilion still followed secretly.

The carriage passed through the bustling street market and did not stop until it reached Tongfu Lane.

Xu Gui was thinking about whether to go to Chu Ji, but he didn't expect to hear a knock on the door.

Xu Gui carefully removed the door panel, looked at the people standing outside, and said busily: "What is the girl's order?" ”

"Well, you just come out alone." After Lu Tan finished speaking, he looked at the courtyard next to him, frowned slightly, turned his head and left.

Xu Gui didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed out.

Out of the alley, Chu Xi directly asked him to follow him into a noisy tavern nearby, found a corner to sit down, asked for a pot of wine and snacks, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there any new news?" ”

"Yes, I was going to look for the girl, but the girl just got married, and I'm worried about how to deliver the news." Xu Gui hurriedly smiled.

Lu Tan motioned to him not to make any moves: "Be quiet, there are many people here, be careful that others listen." ”

Xu Gui was busy with his head at this time, and lowered his voice and said: "We have been staring carefully during this time, and it seems that a new person has appeared in the city, and before entering the capital, we have taken over an official weapon room. ”

"Armory?" Chu Xi was surprised, the newcomer she knew was the fifth prince Zhao Yiheng, but the armory room was in charge of the military department, how could it fall into his hands?

"Yes, it's the armory room, and it's from the official's. The leader came out of it, and the other important people were all changed inside and out. Xu Gui said.

Chu Xi frowned slightly: "It stands to reason that the disturbance caused by this matter should not be small, why didn't the capital spread it" The more Chu Xi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, if this was the case, then there was only one possibility, this was instructed by the emperor!

Chu Ji raised her head and looked at Xu Gui in shock: "What else have you found?" ”

Xu Gui nodded: "The brothers of the beggar gang also found that in addition to this wave of people, there seem to be many places in the capital where there is movement, and even the Xiaoyao Palace, which seems to be quiet on the surface, also plans to take their princess to give it away."

"Give it away? To whom? Chu Xi was puzzled and gave away his nominal wife, this is something Zhao Xunyan can do, but has he reached this point? Could it be that he and Jane Niang have already collapsed?

Xu Gui shook his head: "I don't know yet, the Xiaoyao Mansion just leaked out this news, and it shouldn't have been sent out so soon, I heard that the new princess just had a miscarriage." After Xu Gui finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xi, and saw that there was no other expression on her face, so he said: "There is also the fourth young lady of Chu Mansion, I went to see King Xiaoyao, some of us have been guarding the back door of the palace all year round to beg for leftovers, and we are familiar with those guards, one of them is still the guard of King Xiaoyao's study, listening to him, it seems that he is talking about cooperation with southern Xinjiang or something."

"What?" Lu Tan's reaction was bigger than Chu Xi's: "How can Southern Xinjiang cooperate with King Xiaoyao!" ”

Chu Xi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Tan, and said: "The forces in Southern Xinjiang are now divided into two groups, and the influence of King Xiaoyao in the court is far greater than what you see now, so naturally someone will ask him to cooperate, but which group is not clear for the time being." ”

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi, pursed her lips slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Xu Gui said again: "But I only knew this after hearing what the man said, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Chu Xi bowed slightly, this must not be found by Ruyifang, if it weren't for the fact that the person happened to leak his mouth

"You keep an eye on it and see if you can find out what his cooperation with Southern Xinjiang is. As for the newcomers, just follow them from afar, and don't try to inquire. Chu Xi said, the fifth prince was extremely alert, and when he came back this time, Xu was instructed by the emperor, an old fox like the emperor might be staring at the Hou Mansion, so she had better not provoke.

"What about the new princess? Do you want to keep an eye on her? Xu Gui asked.

Chu Xi shook her head, thinking of Chu Zhenzhen, and said lightly: "Let her be." "She and Zhao Xunyan killing each other is what she wants to see the most, and Chu Zhenzhen's temperament, it is only a matter of time before she kills herself.

"Green sandalwood, I just saw someone outside, you go and see who it is." Chu Xi said suddenly.

Lu Tan was not suspicious, and immediately got up and whispered to the door, Chu Ji looked at Xu Gui at this time: "I will explain your words next, you must not reveal a word, otherwise"

"The little one understands" follows Chu Xi, eats and drinks well, and it is not difficult to do things, so he naturally will not look for death by himself.

Chu Xi looked at the green sandalwood at the door and said, "Help me check a few people." ”

"Who?"

"Green sandalwood, Zheng Yun."

Xu Gui was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly: "I understand." ”

"After I find out, come to the Hou Mansion to give me the news in person, this matter is not in a hurry, you check it slowly, don't miss it." Chu Ji said, at this juncture, she can't wait for Lu Tan to confess to her, and Yi'er can't wait for Zheng Yun to reveal her identity.

"Yes." Xu Gui bowed his head, and when Lu Tan came over, Chu Xi had already finished explaining.

On the carriage back, Lu Tan was still in deep thought, and she never figured out how Nanjiang could cooperate with someone like Zhao Xunyan.

Just thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then the horse ran forward quickly, so angry that Lu Tan directly lifted the curtain and said angrily: "How do you drive a horse?"

Before Lu Tan finished speaking, Chu Xi grabbed her, looked directly at the person in front of the carriage and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The person driving the carriage didn't intend to speak, Chu Xi grabbed the purple jade bracelet on his wrist and was about to release the silver needle, but the man spoke: "Miss Chu, don't worry, my master just wants to see you." ”

"Who is your master?" Lu Tan asked in a cold voice, his hand had already pulled out the dagger, and the man said lightly: "You will know when you arrive." "Let's start riding faster.

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi: "The people of Wuji Pavilion are entangled. ”

"We're just afraid we've been targeted by them for a long time." Chu Ji looked at the person in front of him, and the man chuckled: "It's not very early, it's just that my master happened to see Miss Chu passing by and wanted to talk to Miss Chu." ”

"The devil wants to talk to you!" Lu Tan said, regardless of Chu Xi's obstruction, she rushed out directly, but in an instant, she was slapped on the right shoulder by the man, and bounced back into the carriage violently, so painful that her eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together.

Chu Xi was stunned: "You are from Wuji Pavilion? ”

"Infinite Pavilion?" The man first questioned, and then sneered, and Chu Xi was sure that they were not.

"The fifth prince and I don't know each other, how can you see me?" Chu Xi asked in a cold voice, if it weren't for Mingyue's people, then this person who didn't know and had such a high martial arts skill would have no one else except for the Fifth Prince, who had been missing for so many years and had no information on the register.

Zhao Yiheng was stunned for a moment. He immediately burst out laughing: "You're really a smart person, but do you know that smart people die early!" ”

"Didn't the fifth prince also live to the present, what is Chu Xi afraid of!" After Chu Xi finished speaking, the silver needle on his wrist flew out at the same time, making Zhao Yiheng untouched.

Zhao Yiheng let go of the reins, pulled out the silver needle on his arm, turned his head to look at Chu Xi, and looked at her eyes with hatred and vigilance, like a rabbit stared at by a goshawk on the grassland, which was very interesting: "I said how could King Xiaoyao be disgraced now because of a woman, it turns out that this woman is not simple." Zhao Yiheng stood on the galloping carriage, split the carriage with one palm and wanted to catch Chu Xi, but when he turned his head, Chu Xi's figure was missing, and there was only one girl ring beside her.

Seeing this, Lu Tan released the drug in her hand, and Zhao Yiheng didn't plan to arrest her, so she had to get out.

Zhao Yiheng jumped down from the carriage and looked at the capital that was gradually deserted under the cool moonlight. chuckled: "Interesting, so interesting, a boudoir lady as smart as Lin Qingyu, a princess of southern Xinjiang pretending to be a maid, and her!" ”

Zhao Yiheng stopped, and his people naturally came over.

"The Five Princes."

Zhao Yiheng looked at them lightly: "The eagle caught the chicken, but I didn't expect the chicken to slip away, you eagles, it's time to practice your claws, it's really not good, you have to change a pair." ”

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, Zhao Yiheng chuckled and turned around: "Let's go, my father is still waiting for us." After that, he looked at the sedan chair that came with the light on his back and was carried by the beauties, and chuckled and went up.

Zhao Yiheng left, and the person covering Chu Xi's mouth let her go.

"Don't mess with him."

Chu Xi turned her head to look at Mingyue, who turned her head and sat down, a little strange: "Do you have anything to do with him?" ”

"Nope!" Mingyue's reaction to hearing this seemed to be a little intense, and then she took a deep breath and poured herself a cup of tea: "He's not easy to mess with." Since you are protected in the courtyard by Qing Yu, stay well, don't run outside if you have nothing to do, if I want to kill you, you will die a hundred times. ”

Chu Xi looked at her slightly trembling hands, remembering Zhao Yiheng's sarcastic laughter when he heard Wuji Pavilion, there was an idea that seemed to be about to form, but it was still a little bit there

Chu Xi sat down opposite Mingyue, there was no light in the room, just the moonlight outside the window, Chu Xi could vaguely see the hatred in her eyes.

The two sat quietly and didn't say anything until Lin Qingyu came over.

After Lin Qingyu received the news, he immediately rushed over and was relieved to see that Chu Xi was fine.

"Let's go back." Lin Qingyu said softly.

Mingyue put down the teacup and said, "Don't you thank me, if it weren't for me, maybe you wouldn't be able to see your wife." ”

Lin Qingyu paused: "I will use my method to thank you." Without waiting for Mingyue to speak, he was about to leave. Mingyue's hand holding the cup tightened suddenly: "Lin Qingyu, do you think I won't dare to kill her!" ”

"To kill her is to kill me, if you want to kill me, I will not stop you." Lin Qingyu said lightly, grabbed Chu Xi's waist and turned his head and left.

When they left, Mingyue covered her heart like a knife with her hand, her voice was as weak as weak moonlight, and she raised her eyes, as if Lin Qingyu was sitting opposite: "Qingyu, I will let you marry me!" ”

Leaving from the inn, Chu Xi had been thinking about their conversation repeatedly, and did not let go of every sentence, until he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Lin Qingyu pretended to be annoyed and looked at Chu Xi: "Why don't you go out with more people!" ”

Chu Xi blinked, as if thinking of something, and turned his head to look at her: "Have you known the Fifth Prince for a long time, not in the capital, but in"

"Infinite Pavilion." Lin Qingyu looked helplessly at Chu Xi, who was not afraid of her anger, and the maids in the room also consciously retreated, and Lin Qingyu picked her up. put it on the bed: "I have to force me to torture you." ”

Chu Xi looked at Lin Qingyu, who was still serious just now, and now his face was full of spring: "Aren't we discussing problems?"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingyu pressed it directly, all the worries, all the fears, all the catharsis at this moment, until the two of them were exhausted and lay on the bed.

Chu Xi was lying in his arms, her face was crimson, Lin Qingyu turned her head to look at her: "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Ji looked sincere, this kind of conversation has already come a few times, but if she has any insincerity, Lin Qingyu will use this to 'punish' her.

Seeing Chu Xi like this, Lin Qingyu laughed helplessly, and carefully held her in his arms: "I just heard the news of Lu Tan that you are missing, I was really frightened, and I thought about the worst outcome." ”

Chu Xi heard his words full of worry, and he could imagine his anxiety at that time: "I'm sorry, I'll bring more people next time I go out." "Bring more people and ghosts, and by that time, everyone will know that she Chu Xi has come to check the news.

Lin Qingyu pretended to twist her little ears: "Just remember." Now the capital is more unstable than before, as soon as the five princes come back, whether it is the prince or others, they will be nervous, after all, back then, your father was not the only one who fell into the hole for the five princes. ”

"Who else?"

"Needless to say, the queen and Concubine Su naturally also participated for their son, and Han Min was also involved." Lin Qingyu sighed lightly: "Han Min was only a prefect back then, what he did was not a stone, but it was also the last straw that crushed the camel, it was he who found out that the five princes found people who were good at witchcraft all over the country to practice witchcraft." ”

Chu Xi's face was slightly gloomy: "You mean, the fifth prince originally did this?" ”

"That's right." Lin Qingyu bowed: "But he can come back this time, I think the emperor didn't really want to drive him away, after all, he was also a young man and early wisdom, and he was very appreciated by the emperor." ”

"What did the prince say?" Chu Xi asked.

Lin Qingyu looked at him: "What the prince means is to use the Chu Mansion as bait and let him take the bait." ”

Chu Xiwaner: "Okay." She had long noticed that Lin Qingyu seemed to have understood her hatred for Chu Bingsong and Chu Mansion, so she had nothing to hide now: "The prince is too upright." And I don't know Chu Bingsong, I will do this myself. ”

Lin Qingyu pinched her face: "Forget my words again, don't contact the five princes, this person is extremely ruthless, and very cunning, comparable to Zhao Xunyan, if Zhao Xunyan hadn't been guarded by the emperor a long time ago, I am afraid that your little life will be lost." ”

Chu Xi chuckled, looked at his curved eyes and said, "I'm not afraid, don't I still have you?" "She had already died once in her previous life, and now she is reborn, and she is not weak, how can she be afraid? The more scared people are, the sooner they die!

Lin Qingyu knew her insistence, and reluctantly hugged her in his arms: "Okay, I'll be with you, but you can't risk your life, this is the most basic requirement!" ”

"Got it." Chu Xi chuckled lightly, but it seemed to be too close to him, and he reacted again.

"That fool I want to go down and drink water"

"Good day, how can Mrs. live up to it because she went down to drink water, let's feed you for my husband" said that, leaned down, the curtain fell, and only the beloved figure reflected on the bed curtain remained.

Because the five princes came back, it was not only Lin Qingyu who was worried, but also Zhao Xunyan.

Zhao Xunyan didn't expect him to come back at this time no matter what, but even if he came back, his plan would not change again, the emperor's tolerance for himself was almost to the limit, and he didn't have so many chances.

"Is the princess still kneeling outside?" Zhao Xunyan asked lightly.

"On your knees." Bystanders.

Zhao Xunyan: "Very good, bring it in." ”

After a while, Chu Zhenzhen was helped in, her face turned purple from the cold, her whole body stiffened, and she eased up a little when she entered the warm room, but when she saw Zhao Xunyan, she thought she had succeeded, and pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Lord, concubine"

Zhao Xunyan took the cloak and wrapped her carefully, walked up to her, slowly stroked her appearance that was only three points like Chu Xi, and said with a smile: "Do you want to be prosperous and rich?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen became smarter this time: "If the prince gives Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen will want it, and if the prince is unwilling to give it, Zhenzhen will not force it." ”

"Good." Zhao Xunyan chuckled: "You have become as smart as you were at the beginning, this king can give you glory and wealth, so that all the people in the palace will not dare to look down on you anymore, but now that this king is in trouble, are you willing to help this king?" ”

Chu Zhenzhen nodded hurriedly: "The concubine is willing." ”

"Good." Zhao Xunyan's face became cold, and he casually pointed to a guard: "Now, go and tempt him to fall in love with you here." ”

Chu Zhenzhen was stunned in place, as if her mind had been blown up, and the attendant's face turned pale: "Lord Wang"

Zhao Xunyan looked at Chu Zhenzhen: "What?" Don't want to? If you don't want to, get me back to the woodhouse now, and stay there for the rest of my life to rot into a pile of bones. ”

"No!" Chu Zhenzhen exclaimed: "The concubine is willing, willing"

"Good." Zhao Xunyan turned around with a smile, and directly ordered someone to close the door, while he sat in the first seat, and began to watch Chu Zhenzhen seduce other men with an interesting face.

At first, Chu Zhenzhen couldn't let go, but it could be seen that Zhao Xunyan's expression was becoming more and more dissatisfied, so he began to do his best. But I have to say that Chu Zhenzhen, the first beauty of the year, is indeed right. Her innocent temperament is still there, and now she is charming, and it is becoming more and more uncontrollable.

Chu Zhenzhen saw that there were hallucinogenic potted plants in the room, directly picked a few pieces and put them on her lips, bit them up, and then grabbed the attendant and forcibly fed him, and after a while, the attendant disarmed and surrendered, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became hot, and Chu Zhenzhen only felt humiliated, and let this man humiliate himself in front of his father-in-law, and instantly understood that he was just such an existence in Zhao Xunyan's eyes

The more Zhao Xunyan looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and directly asked Jiao Simiao to come in: "Go and arrange it, tomorrow night, the princess will go to see Yang Guogong." ”

Jiao Simiao lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see a white flower on one side, and he should raise his hand.

After Chu Zhenzhen was over, someone took her down, the luxurious courtyard, the brocade clothes and food, everything she wanted, she had it, but she also hated Chu Xi more and more, in her opinion, if it wasn't for the fact that King Xiaoyao was so infatuated with Chu Xi, he would definitely not treat herself like this.

"Chu Xi! I'll kill you sooner or later! When Chu Zhenzhen lay down on the gorgeous big bed in front of her, she gritted her teeth and said, only then did she let her tears stay and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the capital was very lively, and the second lady of the Chu family wanted to jump off the city wall, and kept shouting that Chu Xi was treacherous and wanted to force her to death.

When Chu Ji received the news, she was having breakfast, Lin Qingyu got up early and went to the court, and she was too tired. Sleep until the sun is three poles before getting up.

"What is this, what is the treachery of our young lady." Xiao Fu'er was so angry: "She Chu Rou is a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, and she is bent on drilling into her newlywed sister's house, and the second lady is still a concubine, I really don't know how many catties and taels she has, and now she still has the face to jump the city wall, how did she go up to the city wall?" Is it thick-skinned? ”

Xiao Fu'er's words are to the point, how can the second lady, the wife of a seven-grade petty official, go to the city wall? It must be Chu Bingsong who is behind the scenes.

"Eat first." Chu Ji said lightly, this matter, the second lady is just a chess piece between Chu Daier and Chu Bingsong, Chu Daier wants to force herself, Chu Bingsong wants money and power, but these two ladies and Chu Rou are also brainless, if they are not greedy, they will not be tricked around.

Lu Tan's arm was beaten and dislocated, and after Lin Fu brought her back, she smeared the medicine, and she began to jump around again, not caring at all about what hurt her muscles and bones for a hundred days.

"I think their mother and son are coming, and there will be no good end, being targeted by the fourth miss, except for our young lady, where is there a good time." Green sandalwood said directly.

Xiao Fu'er and Chunzhi didn't understand: "This matter is with the fourth lady"

"The fourth lady is much more powerful than the second miss" Lu Tan was about to pull with the two of them, when he heard news from outside, saying that the princess was here, and she also took the second lady and Chu Rou, who was crying.

Chu Xi knew that Chu Zhenzhen couldn't be idle, and she didn't know what to do in this matter.

"Let's go and greet it." Chu Xi lightly put down the dishes and chopsticks, rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands, and then took someone out.

Chu Zhenzhen stood at the gate of the Hou Mansion with a large group of subordinates, and her momentum was very strong, followed by the pale-faced Second Lady and Chu Rou, while outside the Hou Mansion was followed by a large number of villagers watching the excitement.

Chu Zhen came over and saluted, after all, Chu Zhenzhen was still the princess.

Chu Zhenzhen was a little angry when she saw Chu Zhen's ruddy face and good life, but when she saw that she had saluted herself, the corners of her mouth rose again: "Big sister, why be polite, hurry up." ”

Chu Xi didn't pay attention to the arrogance in her words, got up lightly, and said, "Why bother the princess to come over?" ”

"It's not a big deal, but I heard that the second aunt was forced to jump the city wall by the eldest sister, so I came to ask, and the second aunt really jumped down, and it must not ruin the reputation of the eldest sister." Chu Zhenzhen said with a smile, raised her hand and took Chu Rou's hand: "Rou'er, if you have anything to say, the second sister is also here today, let's be open and honest, and let everyone know if the eldest sister is trying to harm you." ”

Chu Rou looked at the second lady timidly, and the second lady hurriedly reacted and said: "Princess, we don't want to force the princess to do anything, it's just that the princess promised to take care of us, and now the lord has left Beijing to take up his post, leaving us orphans and widows, and there is no way to think of doing this."

Before the second lady finished speaking, there was a sigh below.

Chu Xi didn't have anything to be embarrassed about, and said with a smile: "Didn't I say that let you live in Chu Mansion first?" And I will also mention it to my father, and then choose a husband for Rou'er, why did it become that I didn't keep my promise? ”

As soon as Chu Xi's words came out, the people below nodded again.

Chu Zhenzhen knew that she couldn't say Chu Rou, and if she wanted to come, she could only come hard, so she turned her head and looked at Chu Rou and the second lady: "You see, the eldest sister also said so, this concubine is waiting for you to come over now, but she helped the wrong person."

The second lady hurriedly said: "Please forgive the princess, the princess she" The second lady turned around and pointed at Chu Ji: "The princess didn't say that yesterday, the princess said yesterday that she was afraid that the princess would fall in love with our family Rou'er, so it is impossible to let Rou'er live in the Hou Mansion in this life, even if she starves to death on the street"

The smile on the corner of Chu Xi's mouth became bigger and bigger, the second lady saw her like this, and she was a little afraid in her heart, shouldn't ordinary young ladies start to argue vigorously when they encounter such a situation, why is she still unfazed.

The more the second lady talked, the more vain Chu Ji said: "The Hou Mansion has a rule of only marrying one wife, do you think it is appropriate for the second aunt to let Sister Rou'er live in such a name?" Not to mention whether your loud statement here will affect Rou'er's sister's reputation, that is, she doesn't care, you don't care, and the prince really likes her, I will still tell you, unless the prince divorces me, otherwise, the Hou Mansion only has the rule of one wife, and it will never change! ”

No one expected Chu Xi to be so strong, in the eyes of some people, she is jealous, but the rules of the Hou Mansion are indeed the same, and it is understandable, not to mention that she is still married by the emperor.

The second lady was stunned in place, there was nothing to say, Chu Rou was also so ashamed that her face was flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Big sister." Rouer"

"If you see that I don't salute and don't call me, I don't have to worry about you, if you feel that there is nowhere to stay, I can take you back to Chu Mansion in person now. The second aunt is the daughter-in-law of Chu Mansion, how can there be a reason to live in her niece's house, right? Chu Xi said again.

The second lady looked embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Chu Zhenzhen.

Chu Zhenzhen chuckled, she didn't come over today to argue with Chu Zhen.

"Second aunt, sister Rou'er, if you continue like this, you might as well die"

The second lady and Chu Rou seemed to react, and without saying a word, they split up and hit the two big stone lions in front of the Hou Mansion.

Chu Xi Weie, Lu Tan and the guards in the mansion had already hurriedly stepped in to help people, but it was a mother-in-law next to Chu Zhenzhen who shot at the same time as Lu Tan.

The mother-in-law turned her back to everyone, and Lu Tan supported Chu Rou, and saw her cry out in pain, and then saw that she actually had a dagger deeply inserted in her abdomen.

Chu Rou stared at the mother-in-law with her eyes, and the mother-in-law smiled lightly, and immediately began to shout: "Murder!" Protect the princess! ”

Everyone was suddenly in a panic, the guards hurriedly surrounded Chu Zhenzhen, the second lady heard this, turned her head and pounced, looked at Chu Rou who was staring at her eyes and did not move, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Rou'er, my Rou'er!" ”

Lu Tan froze in place, raising his eyes to look at the woman: "She killed her, I saw it!" ”

"It's clear that you killed someone, and you can't be angry that she bullied your concubine, so kill her, I saw it all!" The woman shouted back.

"It's clearly you, you carry that dagger!" Lu Tan was so angry that his face turned pale, and he stepped forward to ask for Na Na Na Po Zi, but Chu Zhenzhen immediately ordered, and the guards of the palace immediately rushed over and pressed Lu Tan to the ground.

The second lady was mad, and when she stepped forward, she began to punch and kick Lu Tan: "Why did you kill my daughter, why did you kill Rou'er!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Ji ran over directly. The second lady pulled away and looked at the group of guards: "Get out of the way!" ”

"The Princess's Command"

"Come on, take them down for me! Do it in front of the Hou Mansion, and dare to bully the concubine, arrest all of them, I want to ask King Xiaoyao, what is the reason! Chu Xi said in a cold voice, and the guards waiting for the Hou Mansion immediately rushed up, and all the guards of the palace pushed away.

Xiao Fu'er and Chunzhi hurriedly came over to help Lu Tan up, but Chu Zhenzhen smiled faintly and said, "Big sister, do you want to shield this murderer?" She just killed your sister! ”

Chu Zhenzhen's words were heartbreaking, and others began to accuse, and there were a lot of things like what the Son of Heaven broke the law and the common people were guilty of, and the second lady also began to cry, which made others very moved by the heartbreaking appearance of her daughter, not to mention that Chu Rou's body was now placed next to her.

Lu Tan's eyes were red with hatred: "I said that if I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it, and the one who killed it was clearly that mother-in-law!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen was a little proud on her face, and said with a smile: "Big sister, use your standards." Are you offending me, girl? The royal honor will not allow a little girl to step on the ground, even if I kill her, I can kill her! After Chu Zhenzhen finished speaking, her face turned cold: "What are you still stunned about, this person dares to kill people in front of the Hou Mansion, maybe he is a spy sent by somewhere, to murder the princess and the concubine, take it down for me immediately, and correct the law on the spot!" ”

"Rectification on the spot can be what my sister can shout!" Chu Xi stood in front of Lu Tan: "In front of the Hou Mansion, I see who can lynch him!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen has already won the battle, and now that she is dead, the evidence is conclusive, what else can Chu Zhen do?

"Second aunt, look at this" Chu Zhenzhen looked at the second lady as if embarrassed, the second lady broke free of the hands of others, and directly pulled out the hairpin and pressed it against her throat: "Chu Xi, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, you actually wanted to kill my Rou'er, and now you are still protecting her murderer, Chu Xi." You are so ruthless, people like you deserve to go to eighteen layers of hell! If you don't kill that sinner today, I will die in front of your Hou Mansion and turn into a ghost and I won't let you go!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Chu Xi shouted coldly: "Did you see with your own eyes that it was Lu Tan who stabbed the dagger into Chu Rou's abdomen!" If not, if you say that you want to turn into a ghost and not let go of the concubine, you know what the crime is! ”

"Everyone is watching, do you still have to deny this? Chu Xi, you killed my poor Rou'er because you didn't want to help us, what is the difference between you and the devil? "The second lady has gone mad, and now that her living daughter is dead, all her hopes have been dashed.

"It's just that I didn't expect the princess in this world to be so vicious"

"If Mrs. Hou is here, she will definitely be divorced immediately!"

"Such a vicious person deserves to go to eighteen layers of hell"

Everyone was talking, and every sentence was scolding Chu Xi, Lu Tan was so angry that she couldn't speak, that mother-in-law and Chu Zhenzhen were the ones who reversed black and white, but she didn't know how to refute it. For the first time, she felt so powerless!

Chu Ji took a deep breath, finally calmed down, looked at Xiao Fu'er, who was about to go to find Lin Qingyu, and stopped her: "Xiao Fu'er, wait." "Looking for Lin Qingyu to come over, they are really bullying others.

"Miss" Xiao Fu'er was teary-eyed, watching Lu Tan and Miss being bullied like this in front of her own house, where could she still see it.

Chu Xi glanced at the second lady and said, "Rou'er is dead, and I'm also sorry, but people are not killed by Lu Tan, and we will never admit it." ”

Chu Zhenzhen walked over and said, "Big sister, you don't have to ruin yourself and the reputation of the Hou Mansion in order to maintain a girl's ring, besides, this is your own sister, big sister, why did you become so ruthless?" ”

Chu Xi looked at the mother-in-law beside her, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she stepped forward and grabbed her. Han Sheng questioned her: "Let me ask you, since you just saw it, why is there blood under the palm of your hand?" ”

"Me"

"Only when a person with a dagger stabs the dagger deep into the abdomen of another person will the palm of his hand be stained with blood." Chu Xi said, and grabbed Lu Tan's hand again: "But you look at Lu Tan, there is no trace of blood on the palm of your hand, I have reason to suspect that you killed Rou'er." ”

The mother-in-law panicked, glanced at Chu Zhenzhen, and hurriedly said: "If the princess plans to wronged the slave and maid to exonerate your maid, then the slave and maid will be dead, and the murder will not be enough, and there will be no wronged person!" With that, he broke away from Chu Xi's hand and slammed into the big stone lion.

Of course, the ending was not bumped into, after all, there were guards all around, so she would not be killed by it, but it angered the second lady.

The second lady looked at Chu Xi resentfully, and shouted desolately: "Don't act anymore, Rou'er is dead anyway." I don't want to live anymore, since your mind is so vicious, then I'll die for you! With that, the dagger stabbed himself in the neck.

Chu Xi's heart was raised violently, and everyone only saw blood splashing out, and they closed their eyes one after another.

Xiao Fu'er was so pained that her eyes were teary, Chu Xi watched the hairpin stabbed into Xiao Fu'er's arm who was busy blocking, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward and stared at the second lady coldly: "You just want to die, you want to turn into a ghost, and you have to find the right person to take revenge, otherwise Chu Rou will really die unjustly!" ”

The second lady was stunned, and Chunzhi hurriedly helped Xiao Fu'er, who was pale.

Chu Xi turned her head and glanced at Chu Zhenzhen lightly: "Come on, show me everyone!" After that, he squatted down to check Chu Rou's wound in person, but the flaw was really obvious.

Chu Zhen narrowed her eyes coldly, her killing intent was revealed, since Chu Zhenzhen came to the door today, then don't blame her for being polite!
