Chapter 115: Ruthless

Chu Bingsong saw that the clear space looked like something was going on, and his panicked heart suddenly settled.

"Master, I won't do this, the people there are my relatives no matter what, these days I will invite the Taoist monks to come to the house to exorcise evil spirits, if there are really evil ghosts to harm me, I will admit it." Chu Bingsong's sincere appearance made Jingkong dumbfounded, didn't he say that this Prime Minister Chu could kill anyone for his own selfishness.

No matter what, the thing that the man let him do was finally done, and he didn't interfere, only chanted Amitabha Buddha to Chu Bingsong again, and then turned around and said goodbye.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran down and looked at Chu Bingsong: "Master, this and this"

"What is this, why don't you hurry up and ask the master to go back to the house to do it!" Chu Bingsong said dissatisfied, seeing that there was not much entanglement in this clear space, he believed his words a little more in his heart.

"Yes, yes." Seeing that Chu Bingsong really didn't look afraid, the housekeeper had to sigh and shake his head in his heart, and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements. As soon as he left, Chu Bingsong laughed. He was worried that he couldn't get rid of Qin Xue, but now the opportunity was sent to the door, in the name of the evil ghost, who would dare not believe it?

Li Xiao didn't plan to bother Chu Xi more, for fear that she would be bored, but Chu Xi seemed to be very interested in the scientific expedition suddenly, and began to ask about the details little by little, he looked at Brother Hong, who was sitting opposite, thinking that she was asking for Brother Hong, so he sat down steadily and began to talk eloquently, until it was about to get dark, before he got up to say goodbye.

"I'll get you out of the house." Chu Xi got up and said.

Li Xiao was flattered, and nodded a little shy and happy.

Chu Ji glanced at the green sprouts who kept tugging at the placket of their clothes with their heads down, and said with a smile: "Green sprouts, didn't you embroider a square veil for Cousin Xiao, go and get it." ”

The green bud's face was red, and his voice was as small as a mosquito, but he hurriedly saluted and stepped down.

Li Xiao was a little stunned: "Big sister, this is"

"My girl knows the rules and etiquette, and the knitting girl is even more proficient, and the handkerchief she embroidered is in my yard, but no one can compare to it, Cousin Xiao should not leave a square handkerchief to see." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Li Xiao looked at Chu Xi's eyes that were slightly bent into crescents and seemed to be still light, her heart was bitter, but she also laughed and arched her hand towards Chu Xi: "It's rare for the eldest sister to think about me so much." "Why didn't he understand that Chu Xi was acting as a matchmaker for him.

After a while, the green sprouts came back, holding a neat and neat handkerchief in his hand, and the top end of the handkerchief was embroidered with orchids, which looked very elegant.

Li Xiao was also a little surprised by her embroidery, raised her eyes and looked at her, a pair of bright big eyes, good skin, at the moment her face was full of crimson, and she looked very delicate, so she took it with a smile and said thank you.

Green Sprouts listened to his voice, only to feel that his head was buzzing, and he was full of excitement.

Chu Xi looked at her like this. I don't know whether to be happy or worried.

"Let's get out." Seeing that the green sprouts seemed to be stunned, Chu Xi spoke.

Li Xiao bowed slightly, put the handkerchief into her sleeve and went out with Chu Xi.

Green Sandalwood hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the green shoots; "Silly girl, what are you still doing?"

Seeing that the people were gone, the green buds came back to their senses and went out with them.

The two of them walked not fast, Chu Xi's steps were not big, she walked leisurely, Li Xiao also consciously slowed down her pace, and walked slowly on the side, Chu Xi looked at the scenery, and his rest of his eyes was to look at Chu Xi.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the mansion, he saw the butler beckoning a large group of monks to the mansion, and Lu Tan said strangely: "Hey, what is this for?" Could it be that you want to exorcise the eldest lady? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Green Sprout said busily, Lu Tan smiled and didn't speak, Li Xiao heard it, and it was related to her aunt, so it was inevitable that she would be distracted again.

"Big sister, why don't you ask someone. See how my aunt's condition is? Li Xiao said.

Chu Ji beckoned the housekeeper to come over, and the housekeeper hurriedly said all the words that were holding in his stomach, and as for the conversation between Jingkong and Chu Bingsong, he naturally said it word for word, but he didn't hear the last sentence of 'treating others the way they do'.

Li Xiao looked surprised: "How can this be?" Does the master have a way to crack it? ”

The housekeeper was full of sorrow: "I said it, but the slave didn't hear it, he only told the master alone, but the direction where the evil ghost is located, doesn't it correspond to the eldest lady." ”

"This" Li Xiao's face sank: "So my uncle only plans to chant and exorcise demons?" ”

"Hmm." The housekeeper bowed his head: "Hey, I don't know what kind of sin I suffered, the monk said that the evil ghost is a monster with broken limbs, tsk"

Chu Xi listened with a faint expression, and quietly clenched the hand in front of him.

"Cousin Xiao, it should be fine, since we know that the turmoil in Chu Mansion during this time was all caused by evil ghosts, we will be fine if we drive away this evil ghost, you are also tired, go back early." Chu Ji said.

Li Xiao frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

"I'll go see my uncle, eldest sister, since there are evil ghosts, it's better for you to go back to the yard early, and don't come out easily." Li Xiao said that, and hurriedly beckoned the housekeeper to find Chu Bingsong.

Chu Xi watched the people leave, and her expression changed to indifference: "Green sandalwood, staring at Chu Bingsong's movements." "If it is unexpected, with Chu Bingsong's patience, Qin Xue's life will be repaid for his life, and it will only be a matter of these two days."

"Yes!" Lu Tan had a serious face, and after Chu Xi finished explaining, she asked Lu Ya to deliver a message to Aunt Hong again, asking her to spread today's events, and then go back and wait with peace of mind.

She can't be in a hurry, she has to be patient, and patience will give her the best reward!

The sky was getting dark, the red lanterns were lit, and the flickering candlelight cast on the cold snow did not make people feel warm, but a little bloody.

There are evil ghosts in the Chu family. The news that the door will be full of blood came from the capital all of a sudden, and it became another wave of heavy news after Qin Xue shouted that Chu Bingsong had killed someone.

On the second floor of the gambling house, a man sat quietly, looked at the movement below, and sneered: "Chu Bingsong has actually fallen here." ”

"He dared to betray the prince, he should have expected an end and deserved it." Bystanders.

The candlelight flickered, reflecting the face of the man in black, he had a mask on his face, and a pair of indifferent and sharp Danfeng eyes stared faintly at the gambler downstairs: "Has the monk named Jingkong been found?" ”

"I found it, but he said that the woman did not show up, and only gave him a jade hairpin."

"Hairpin" Zhao Xunyan muttered, the guard immediately handed over the jade hairpin, Zhao Xunyan glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Is it her?" ”

"Yes, the subordinates have checked, this hairpin was originally borrowed from her by the third lady of the Chu family, and then sold it secretly, and was later redeemed by her maid."

Zhao Xunyan's smile became bigger and bigger: "It's so interesting, if she were my person, how good it would be." ”

The attendant raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Xunyan: "Master, then what do we do with that clear space?" ”

"Give her a hand." Zhao Xunyan said.

The attendant understood, and turned his head to the person below to make a gesture of wiping his neck.

Zhao Xunyan slowly turned the jade hairpin in his hand, the hairpin was accompanied by the candle flame, emitting a dazzling light, Zhao Xunyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips were coldly hooked: "Naughty, turn around and polish your edges and corners clean, and you will be obedient." ”

It was late at night, and Li Xiao insisted on guarding Chu Bingsong, which made Chu Bingsong very annoyed, but there was no way.

"Since you want to keep it, keep it, but now that you are a member of the Hanlin Academy, Ming'er will go to the court, go to rest early." After Chu Bingsong finished speaking, he turned his head and went back to rest, while the monks of Ruyi Yuan recited the scriptures all night, until the next morning, before Chu Bingsong went to the morning court, after receiving the news of the violent death of the master of the clear space, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This is really God help me!" Chu Bingsong said while wearing court clothes, looking at the cool sky outside with only a faint light, Chu Bingsong glanced at the person waiting on his side: "Do you know what to do?" ”

"The slave understands." The woman lowered her eyes and saluted.

"Good." Chu Bingsong laughed, looked at her white skin that seemed abnormal, and said with a smile: "It was really right to leave you at the beginning." After that, he walked out of the door, looked at Li Xiao, who was already waiting in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Xiao'er, go and see your aunt, see if she is better with so many masters chanting for her." ”

"Yes." Li Xiao was busy with his head, and he was less suspicious of Chu Bingsong, and when he left, Chu Bingsong snorted coldly: "Stupid." ”

After they all went to the morning court, the darkness in the house began to slowly move.

Chu Bingsong's yard has always had a mother-in-law who is a few years older than him, named Yang Bao'er, this name was given to her by Yang Pei, if she has served Yang Pei, she can be recognized, she is the big girl who served by Yang Pei's side, but later because he secretly seduced Chu Bingsong, he was driven out of Ruyi Garden by Yang Pei, and later, Chu Bingsong kept her in order to be angry with her, and for so many years, he just left her in the basement like a dog.

When she came out, she happened to meet Mother Jiang who came out of Ronghua Courtyard, and Mother Jiang naturally knew who she was, and seemed to know more: "Why are you here, you weren't dead back then"

Yang Bao'er smiled, and her thin face showed a little hideous: "I am blessed with a great life, how can I die." It's you, you didn't say anything to Chu Xi. ”

Mother Jiang's face sank: "You collaborated to harm the former eldest lady back then, but now you are afraid that the eldest lady will know." ”

Yang Bao'er smiled coldly, and walked over to Jiang's mother: "That is, I haven't said it yet, so can you keep the password?" ”

"Don't you think"

Before Jiang's mother finished speaking, she saw a cold flash, and the sharp knife hidden in Yang Bao'er's hand stabbed over.

Mother Jiang's eyes widened, thinking that she would definitely die, but a stone flew out of nowhere and hit her sharp knife fiercely, causing her to pounce in the air.

"Go ahead and do your thing, it's too late."

A voice came from the dark, which surprised both of them, Yang Bao'er looked at Jiang's mother fiercely, smiled coldly, and took the knife back: "Are you going to calculate the master?" ”

"If you don't go, Chu Bingsong will definitely do it himself." The voice in the shadows continued.

Yang Bao'er seemed to have guessed such a consequence, but she was willing to go, because she really hated Qin Xue. actually got Chu Bingsong's love for so many years.

Yang Bao'er turned around and left as if no one was around, as if nothing had happened just now, Lu Tan looked at her in the dark, and sighed deeply, there is still such a poisonous snake hidden in this mansion, fortunately, it did not leak its fangs, otherwise the young lady would be miserable.

Mother Jiang didn't hear the voice in the shadows: "Who are you?" ”

"There is no peace in the house today, you should go back early." After Lu Tan finished speaking, he followed Yang Bao'er again.

Yang Bao'er is just a small character, Mother Jiang knows very well in her heart that no matter what she is going to do today, Chu Bingsong will use her cleanly, and she will definitely not stay anymore, but there are some things she still has to hurry back and tell Chu Xi.

Mother Jiang was about to turn around and leave, but saw an extra figure on the path.

"Fourth Miss, why are you, didn't you go out of the house with Third Miss?"

Chu Dai'er smiled and came: "Mother Jiang is so surprised, I went out and felt unwell." And he turned back again. ”

Looking at the gentle smile on her face, Mother Jiang was defenseless, even if she knew that she was vicious, she had no grievances with her

"Oops." Just as Mother Jiang was thinking about it, Chu Dai'er seemed to suddenly twist her foot: "Mother Jiang, help me quickly." Chu Dai'er's tone was soft, and she seemed to be really hurting.

Seeing this, Jiang's mother hesitated, but she still hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but before she could open her mouth to speak, her abdomen was pierced by a sharp weapon, and a sharp pain came.

"Fourth Miss, why" Mother Jiang looked at Chu Dai'er weakly, Chu Dai'er just smiled lightly and pulled out the dagger suddenly, watching Mother Jiang fall in despair in the bushes on the side, Chu Dai'er squatted down, wiped the dagger clean with the cloth towel on her body, and said leisurely: "Do you think I don't know what you want to go back to tell Chu Dai'er?" ”

"Four Misses"

"I didn't plan to kill you, after all, you also said a lot of good things for me in front of my grandmother, but Mother Jiang. If you want to blame you, blame you for being so talkative, Aunt Seven has been dead for so long, what else are you going to say? "Chu Dai'er.

"You're not Aunt Seven's"

"Say it, no one will know about it anyway." Chu Dai'er cut off her words, but the gentleness she had maintained just now became cold because of this, and she seemed to mind very much: "You long-tongued women, you deserve to go to hell!" After Chu Dai'er finished speaking, she slashed Jiang's mother in the neck again, and seeing that she was completely out of breath, she stood up indifferently and turned her head to leave, as if she had never been to this place.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Ruyi Garden was still gloomy.

Twenty-eight monks were all reciting the mantra of the past in the Ruyi Garden, and in front of each other was Yang Pei's well-dressed mound, so that she could rest in peace.

The different mantras were recited in turns, and they were recited all night, until today, when Se Jiangming stopped and rested a little.

The maid of Ruyi Yuan had already been transferred away by Chu Bingsong in advance, the reason was not to disturb the masters' practices. So Yang Bao'er came in very easily, and walked directly through these monks. entered Qin Xue's room.

Qin Xue didn't recognize her for a long time, and when she saw someone coming, she said tiredly: "Bring water." ”

Yang Bao'er was silent, poured a cup of tea and brought it slowly, and drugged the tea in front of Qin Xue.

Qin Xue was stunned: "What are you doing!" ”

Yang Bao'er chuckled: "Give you something that makes you less painful for a while." ”

"What are you talking about"

"Say what?" Yang Bao'er laughed: "Didn't you deal with Yang Pei like this at the beginning, mercifully didn't let her see her limbs cut off with her own eyes." ”

When Qin Xue heard this, she froze in fright: "Who are you, what do you mean, help, help----! ”

Qin Xue didn't shout twice, Yang Bao'er grabbed her chin, intending to pour all the drugs into it, but Qin Xue didn't know where she got the strength at this time, and knocked the medicine to the ground as soon as she raised her hand, but what followed was Yang Bao'er's fierce slap: "Toast and don't eat and drink, then I will fulfill you and let you watch yourself be tortured!" With that, he pulled the rag on the side, grabbed Qin Xue's jaw, and stuffed the cloth directly into it. Seeing that she was still struggling, he took the vase on the side and smashed it on her head.

Yang Bao'er seemed to be red-eyed, and looked at Qin Xue fiercely: "If it weren't for you, would I have been locked up in the basement by Chu Bingsong for decades?" You flesh-eating and blood-sucking brutes! Yang Bao'er tried her best to lower her voice, and whipped Qin Xue frantically, until Qin Xue was beaten to the point that she was dying and couldn't react, then she took the rope that had been prepared a long time ago and tied her hands and feet to the four corners of the bed.

Qin Xue's eyes were torn when she thought of her next move, but when she saw her sharp knife falling, she knew that it was irretrievable.

The severe pain made her faint several times, but the mind of the fainting was full of the tragic situation of Yang Pei before she died. She shouted sorry in her heart, but Yang Pei had been tortured to death by her, and it was impossible to resurrect her.

Lu Tan was so frightened that she almost vomited a few times, seeing that Yang Baoer had completed her task and was about to change her clothes and leave, she flew down from the eaves. Hurriedly walked in from the main entrance, shouting as she went: "Oh, Master Li is really careless, he only came once in the morning, and he actually left something at the eldest lady's place" She said as she hurried into the room, but when she pushed the door open, a strong smell of blood came to her nose.

The people outside heard a scream, and the girl who had just entered ran out with a white face: "Evil ghosts, evil ghosts are inside!" ”

When the abbot heard this, he hurriedly walked in with his disciples, and when he entered, he saw Yang Bao'er, whose clothes were stained red with blood and whose face was pale.

"Demons, demons!" It was also the first time for the abbot to see such a scene, and he let out a loud shout, and his disciples who knew martial arts quickly surrounded Yang Bao'er.

Yang Bao'er remembered the voice she heard before, and knew that she was calculated, so she laughed: "Death is death, who is afraid of whom, you tell Chu Bingsong that the evil ghost in his heart can't be eliminated in this life!" She chuckled and raised the bloody knife in her hand. Wiped his neck directly.

Demons, suicides, human beings, blood light

Such words spread all of a sudden, and rumors that there were evil ghosts slaughtering the mansion in Chu Mansion came again and again, but there were also good deeds, Qin Xue was taken home from retirement before, and then the imperial doctor diagnosed that someone was drugged, and then Qin Xue loudly muttered that Chu Bingsong killed his ex-wife and biological mother, and a big conspiracy theory came out in an instant. Of course, some people think that it is really evil ghosts, after all, the famous pure space monk died violently after calculating that hexagram, and after the Chu Mansion invited the monks to chant the Buddha, the so-called 'evil ghosts' appeared, and killed people with cruel methods.

But no matter what, Chu Fu and Chu Bingsong suddenly became a hot topic of discussion among the big guys, and they also became taboos that the big guys couldn't avoid, and it seemed that as soon as Chu Bingsong was mentioned, he frowned.

Chu Bingsong also seemed to be shocked, and stumbled back from the court. But now he is still immersed in the joy of solving Qin Xue's big trouble, and he has no time to think about anything else, Qin Xue is dead, and his secret can be hidden forever.

After returning to the Chu Mansion, the people in the mansion seemed to be frightened, and those who signed a death contract with the Chu Mansion paid a large amount of fines out of their own pockets and ran away, as for the sons of those families, the more daring ones also went to the courtyard of Yanxue to kneel, begging her to give her a way to live, especially those who had served in Ruyi Garden.

When Chu Bingsong came back, Qin Xue was not dead yet, and he was still angry.

The housekeeper said, "Master, eldest lady, what do you think?" No one dared to serve. The steward said.

When Chu Bingsong heard this, he thought for a while: "Then let Zhen Zhen go to serve her mother, you go and arrange it again, and then invite some more masters to come back to eliminate the disaster." "He is now comfortable, last night he said that he could let Yang Pei leave by treating him in the way of others, and now he will arrange for her to chant more masters, this matter will definitely be solved, and in the future, Chu Mansion will definitely become as smooth sailing as before.

He thought well here, but Chu Xi didn't plan to let him go.

When Lu Tan came back, his face was green, Chu Xi looked at it lightly, thinking about himself in his previous life, and a slight cold smile appeared on his lips.

"If you're tired, go down and rest." Chu Ji said.

Lu Tan moved the small pestle and sat down by the brazier, shaking his head: "Miss, is Mother Jiang back?" ”

Chu Xi's face pale slightly: "No, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Tan felt a little strange, and told him about meeting Jiang's mother before, and then said: "She seems to have a lot of secrets to tell Miss." ”

"Well, she just said in the morning that she would go back to Ronghua Courtyard to get some evidence, but she hasn't seen it for a long time." Green Sprout Road.

Chu Xi suddenly had some bad premonitions and got up: "Where did you see her before?" ”

"At the intersection of Ronghuayuan and Ruyi Yuan." Green Sandalwood Road.

Before her words fell, Chu Xi hurried out with someone, Lu Tan felt strange and ran out with her, but when she found Mother Jiang, Mother Jiang's body was already cold.

"How so!" Lu Ya covered her mouth and cried, and Lu Tan also looked around in surprise: "No, I had to tell her to hurry back to the Jin Pavilion before." ”

Chu Xi let out a long sigh: "It should have been killed after you left." Chu Xi looked at the bloodstains on Jiang's mother and her dead eyes, squatted down, raised her hand and closed her eyes: "When you leave, can you notice that there are still people around here?" ”

"There was a breath, but I didn't look at it much." Green sandalwood regrets not falling, but it is irretrievable.

Chu Xi was about to get up, but she saw a purse in Jiang's mother's hand, Chu Xi pulled out the purse, and inside it was a letter with a strange symbol.

"This is the text of southern Xinjiang." Green sandalwood glanced at it and said subconsciously.

Chu Xi's hand moved slightly, and Green Sprout said strangely: "How do you know that it is from Southern Xinjiang?"

Lu Tan came back to his senses and said busily: "I walked the rivers and lakes, and naturally I have seen these. ”

Chu Xi didn't ask much, just put the letter away: "Don't let Bai Xue know about this matter for the time being." "If Bai Xue knows, I'm afraid that she won't have the heart to live.

"Yes."

Chu Xi's eyes were a little astringent, and she turned her head slightly: "Bury Mother Jiang well, and bury her niece and daughter together." With that, he turned around and left.

Lu Tan remembered the letter in Chu Xi's hand, looked at the dead Jiang's mother again, frowned tightly, and turned her head to leave.

Chu Xi returned to Zhujin Pavilion, and planned to have someone translate the text on the letter, but Lu Tan said, "Miss, I'll turn it over for you, I know." ”

"Haven't you only seen it on the rivers and lakes?" Green Sprout said while untying Chu Ji's cloak.

Lu Tan smiled: "I have learned some of them, so I recognize them, don't worry, the words on this letter look very simple, I will definitely be." ”

Lu Ya wanted to say something more, but Chu Xi smiled and said: "Okay, then you have to translate it for me word for word, I won't forgive you for a wrong word." ”

Lu Tan's face tightened, nodded hurriedly, and said with a sly smile: "Don't worry, when I turn it out, you can prepare three days of pastries for me!" ”

"Okay."

Chu Xi watched Lu Tan go in with the letter, and her smile dropped slightly. What she didn't tell Lu Tan was that she also knew a few words in southern Xinjiang, although there weren't many, but she could roughly spell out the meaning of the letter, this time, she just wanted to test it.

Xiao Fu'er came in from outside, rubbed her frozen ears, and said busily, "Miss, something happened to Yanfu." ”

Chu Xi chuckled in her heart: "Because of the soup kitchen?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Fu'er nodded: "Yunfu took people to the porridge shed in front of Yan's Mansion to receive porridge, and these days have been pointed at by others, saying that Yanfu disregards the feelings of his relatives and family, and has watched Yunfu fall to this point, until today, the eldest lady of the Yun family drank the porridge of Yan's Mansion and was poisoned, and now the people of Yunfu have carried Miss Yun Songyue to the door of Yan's Mansion, and she is making trouble." ”

Green Sprouts also hurriedly walked over: "What about Miss Yi'er?" ”

"She was the most miserable, she was first reprimanded by the two aunts of the Yan family, and then forced her to send the people of Yunfu, but isn't it all wrong for Miss Yi'er to do it, and she can't help anyone." Xiao Fu'er said.

Chu Xi smiled helplessly: "Let's see what she does first, she hasn't come to me yet, which means that she hasn't reached the end of the road yet." Chu Xi said that, and turned his head into the greenhouse.

Xiao Fu'er saw that Chu Xi was not worried, so she was also relieved, and made her a pot of tea before saying, "Miss, I heard that Ruyi Garden is over there, should we go out to avoid it?" "After all, there are evil ghosts, and the people in the house are all spread mysteriously, she is not afraid of anything, she is worried that the evil ghost will come to find Chu Xi.

"Let's go out now, and we won't be drowned by the people outside spitting one star at a time." Lu Ya said: "Now that the eldest lady has suffered this misfortune, and the young lady is the eldest daughter, only to help, where can I escape, and turn around to grab the handle for those young ladies, and I don't know how to arrange our young lady." Lu Ya said, she actually felt very happy, the eldest lady ended up like this, that is the retribution she deserves, she killed Chu Xi's biological mother at the beginning, and harmed so many innocent people, and almost forced Miss to death several times, after Miss came back, she also wished that Miss would die everywhere, and now like this, she only feels very happy!

When Xiao Fu'er heard this, she blinked her eyes, she didn't understand very well, but she didn't say much more cleverly.

"I heard that the master asked the second lady to serve, and the second lady was scared and cried when she entered the house, and refused to go in to serve again, and none of the maids and daughters-in-law dared to go in to clean up, so the eldest lady lay in the pool of blood, and I heard that the master almost killed a mother-in-law, and in the end he couldn't, so he had to ask the post-mortem to clean up." Xiao Fu'er shook her head as she spoke: "The second lady usually says that she is the most filial, and she used to be like a fairy daughter, and she was afraid of hurting ants when she walked, but now she has become like this, and I don't know if she is like this by nature or forced to do so."

Xiao Fu'er sighed again and again, but the green sprouts were clear in her heart, Chu Zhenzhen could have such an end, it was all done by herself, Miss didn't provoke her, but she repeatedly wanted Miss's life, never said that she wanted to have a trace of kindness, and she was like a mustard to her subordinates, she would fight if she wanted to, and kill if she wanted to.

After talking here for a while, Chu Xi heard the news that Li Xiao had come.

Chu Xi thought, this incident must have hit Li Xiao very hard.

"Big Sister"

Li Xiao's voice came from outside, Chu Ji looked at Lu Ya, Lu Ya understood, walked out, and stopped Li Xiao: "Cousin, my young lady is unwell, and now she has rested, you can come back later." ”

Li Xiao originally planned to inquire with Chu Xi, but when she heard this, she asked, "Big sister, is she okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that my body is a little weaker, and that's why today's events are that" Green Sprout lowered his eyebrows and didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he would see the joy in his eyes.

Li Xiao bowed slightly, and was silent for a while before saying in a hoarse voice: "Then I won't bother much." With that, he was about to turn around and leave, but Green Sprout hurriedly raised his head and looked at him: "Wait." ”

Li Xiao turned his head, and Lu Ya came forward and whispered: "Miss asked the slave maid to tell you that the Chu Mansion is no longer the original Chu Mansion, and everyone is no longer able to distinguish between ghosts and ghosts. ”

Li Xiao listened to these meaningful words, raised her head and looked at Chu Xi's extremely quiet room, and after a while, she straightened up and made a gesture in the direction of Chu Xi's room, and then turned her head and left.

Lu Ya had been watching his back leave stupidly, and then he turned his head back to the room, looking at Chu Xi, who was lazily leaning on the warm couch and began to flip through the idle books, and then looked at Xiao Fu'er who was embroidering around the small stove. With a shallow smile, this kind of tranquility made her feel very happy, and it was also the only truly comfortable day since her wife passed away, she really hoped that it would be good if she could continue to be like this.

Chu Xi didn't notice the movement of the green shoots, she only flipped through the books sent by Mrs. Hou over and over again, and the name 'Lituo Island' kept appearing, which made her wonder if there really was such a place, and Lin Qingyu said that when the Hou Ye and his wife left the capital, they were also to find an antidote for him, did the antidote have anything to do with Lituo Island? Why can only Zheng Yun get the antidote?

Chu Xi couldn't figure it out, but inexplicably began to miss Lin Qingyu, what was he doing at this time, was he also thinking about himself.

In the deep mountains, the wall stands thousands of miles, above the thousands of miles, a towering palace towers, three big characters on the book, Wuji Pavilion!

In the stone room in the depths of the Wuji Pavilion, a man with a pale face sat upright on the ice bed cast by thousand-year-old ice, his hands and feet were bound by iron chains cast from thousand-year-old black iron, but he looked very calm, and he didn't seem to be worried at all.

"Why don't you promise me." The soft voice sounded, which made people feel a sense of love, but this did not include Lin Qingyu.

"Because I don't love you." Lin Qingyu closed his eyes lightly.

The woman smiled lightly: "You don't even want to open your eyes and look at me, but even so, I don't blame you, because you are my man, marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, I understand this truth." She laughed, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell, as if the soft voice had a charm that made one want to give her everything.

"I am not married to you, you and I are very clear about this."

"Sophistry!" When the woman heard this, her emotions suddenly became excited, and she immediately regained her composure: "Qing Yu." Where am I not worthy of you, I have given birth to a son for you, in order to fulfill your mind to experience this flowery world, I have given you four or five years, you should have enough fun now, you should come to pick up our mother and go home. ”

"Why are you so stubborn?" Lin Qingyu said lightly, and his emotions never waved.

The woman smiled lightly: "Stubborn? The woman didn't say anything anymore, just turned around and left: "Cultivating on this ice bed for a year, the residual poison in your body can be cleared, and my son and I will wait for you." With that, she left, the stone wall closed suddenly, Lin Qingyu only opened his eyes at the last moment, looking at the familiar black clothes, his eyes were slightly cool, his wrist shook slightly, and the thousand-year-old Xuantie also shattered, but he spit out a mouthful of black blood because of this, and there were a few more white hairs on his head.

In the depths of the majestic palace, the gray-haired old emperor leaned on the warm couch. In the past few days, he seems to have coughed more and more frequently, and the father-in-law on the side hurriedly brought ginseng tea over: "Your Majesty, drink some to moisten your throat." ”

The emperor took it, took a shallow sip and didn't want to drink more, looked at Zhao Xuanyi standing in front of the hall, and said slowly: "How is the disaster victim treated?" ”

"In the capital, every household has spontaneously started to give porridge and food, the snow has stopped, and the temperature is rising rapidly, thinking about it, the snow disaster will pass soon, but the son is worried"

"Worried about what?" The Emperor asked.

Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, and said: "Once the temperature rises, the snow and ice will melt quickly, and there may be flooding in the lower reaches of the river, so Erchen thinks that he should send people to dig ditches and drain the river as soon as possible, and then build a river embankment to prevent this hardship." ”

After hearing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction: "My son has this idea. Very good, very good, who do you think is the best person to send to deal with this flood? ”

Zhao Xuanyi thought about it, and still said: "I mentioned this matter to General Yang before, and General Yang meant that he wanted to go over and govern it in person. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This old guy is about to run away after being wronged so much, and he still wants to go downstream to deal with the flood, he has an old bone, can he do it?" ”

"Yang Ci, the young general of the Yang family, is also a young talent, if the old general Yang goes, Erchen wants Yang Ci to follow him." Zhao Xuanyi said.

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Zhao Xuanyi's eyes a little more complicated: "The Yang family is the only seedling." ”

Zhao Xuanyi's face tightened slightly, and he hurriedly said: "The Yang family is dedicated to protecting the lord and is also loyal to the people. General Yang insisted on going, and Erchen couldn't think of a more suitable person than him for the time being. Moreover, Erchen is also worried that General Yang is old, so it is better for his grandson to follow him, so he is "

"Well, I didn't suspect anything about you." Emperor Fu laughed again: "You are always so nervous, just like your mother, you are always careful to serve me, for fear of saying the wrong thing." ”

Zhao Xuanyi didn't dare to say more, the emperor thought about it, but said: "I heard that General Yang also has a granddaughter, who is the young lady that Lin Qingyu asked to marry, what is her name?" ”

The emperor couldn't seem to remember it all of a sudden, and before Gonggong Gao could speak, Zhao Xuanyi blurted out: "Chu Xi." ”

Gonggong Gao also glanced at Zhao Xuanyi in surprise, and immediately hurriedly played a round: "I heard that this Miss Chu is very famous in the capital, she is said to be domineering and rude, and she is not forgiving under her mouth, but she is a powerful master." ”

"Really?" The emperor didn't care much anymore, and followed the words of Gonggong Gao: "It seems that a lot of things have happened in the Chu family during this time, and I see that Chu Bingsong is losing weight day by day, and the old lady is dead and the son is dead. Now the lady has also suffered this misfortune. ”

Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what the emperor meant, so he only said: "Prime Minister Chu has taken leave to stay at home for the past two days, I'm afraid I can take care of these things." ”

"I hope so." The emperor smiled and said, "Have you ever been to see your little imperial uncle?" The emperor said suddenly.

"Not yet, Erchen is busy with the affairs of the victims"

"I'll have to check it out when I'm free." The emperor only said a simple sentence, and then said no more, and the topic returned to Chu Xi: "I see that Qingyu can take that girl's baby tightly, Qingyu has also been at home on leave these days, and I just called this girl to come over and take a look." ”

Zhao Xuanyi couldn't hold back his astonishment, Gonggong Gao glanced at him, and hurriedly said, "Are you going to summon Miss Chu into the palace?" ”

"Summon, I'm bored left and right, let's see what kind of girl my Prime Minister Chu taught, if it's really so rude and willful and sharp-toothed, but you can't marry Qing Yu, otherwise, Lin Zhuyin's old boy can't hate me for giving him such a daughter-in-law." The emperor smiled, but the old man's eyes flashed sharply.

Zhao Xuanyi withdrew from the hall and got into the carriage to meet Zhao Xunyan, but he immediately called someone to report to Chu Xi.

When Chu Xi heard the news, she almost didn't scold. This old emperor, the minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, is now planning to calculate Lin Qingyu and himself.

Seeing her reaction, Green Sprout smiled stunned: "Miss, what's wrong?" But do you think there is anything wrong with the emperor's summons this time? ”

"Of course it's not right, it's very inappropriate." Even though Chu Xi was angry, she was helpless. Lin Qingyu had only been away from Beijing for a few days, and the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to summon himself in, and it seemed that he would have to delay it for a few days.

"Miss, what then?" Lu Ya looked at Chu Ji and became anxious, and panicked all of a sudden.

Chu Xi gritted her teeth slightly, looked at the cold sky outside the window, and said, "Go, prepare a pool of cold water." ”
