When Lu Tan went out, Chu Xi remembered Chu Xiuxiu, who came to borrow jewelry today.

"Did the third lady ever come back?" Chu Xi asked.

Chunzhi shook his head slightly: "The slave maid let people guard the door, and I haven't heard the news that the third lady has returned." It's too chaotic in the house today, and the old man and the old lady don't have the heart to care about her. ”

Chu Ji bowed: "You make people stare at it more, and as soon as she comes back, tell me immediately." Although Chu Xiuxiu is a little stupid, she is a little different from Chu Zhenzhen in that she can be willing to put down her face, anyone dares to please her, and anyone dares to take advantage of it.

Chun Zhi responded, Chu Xi made everyone retreat, went back to the room, and looked at the empty bed, Chu Xi was a little worried. When Lin Qingyu left that day, the injuries on his body were obviously aggravated again, and Zhao Xuanyi's sentence 'It's really you', what did he mean? What has Lin Qingyu been hiding from himself?

After thinking about it, Chu Xi felt that he had no reason to tell himself, and he was so angry that he was inexplicable, so he didn't think about it anymore and fell asleep.

In the evening, Han Min came back from Zhao Xuanyi, Chu Qitai is now missing, and Zhao Xuanyi wants to find out what happened to Zhao Xunyan. Although Han Min didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne, Zhao Xuanyi had saved himself before, even if he didn't want to, he had to help check together.

I had a headache and rode back to the house in the carriage, but when I arrived at the palace gate, the coachman was frightened first, and the horse neighed.

"What's wrong?" Han Min got down from the carriage, only to lift the curtain of the carriage, and saw the woman hanging in front of his mansion.

"Quick, put people down!" Han Min hurriedly said, he vaguely felt familiar with the figure of this woman, and after being put down, he found that she was the woman who made a fuss in the court today: "Why is her!" Han Min was shocked.

Those officials, unless they trust Han Min very much. The others looked at him suspiciously.

"My lord, what should I do?" The leader asked.

Han Min looked at the dead person, and then looked at the little girl curled up at the door, could this be the child she said before?

Han Min stepped forward, leaned over and asked, "Little girl, do you recognize this woman?" ”

"She's my mother" The little girl was dumbfounded, and Han Min frowned slightly: "Then why did your mother commit suicide in front of the mansion?" ”

"You killed my mother, you killed my mother, you compensate, you compensate!" The little girl suddenly pounced on Han Min like crazy, Han Min hurriedly got up, but the little girl took the opportunity to run away.

"My lord, do you want to chase it?"

"Of course you have to chase!" Han Min drank, if no one testified, he really couldn't understand this, but now that this woman is dead, a large part of the reason is also to blame him, if he had asked clearly, this would not have happened: "Go, find out who this woman is, the accent doesn't look like it's from the capital, and the child, you must find it." Han Min's face was a little pale, and he looked at the woman: "Put people in the morgue." ”

After giving these instructions, Han Min dragged his tired body home, but he didn't sleep all night when he got home.

The next day, this incident caused a storm in the city, and many people spontaneously came to the government to make trouble, saying that Han Min was a parent official in vain.

"Lord Han, why haven't you come out yet? In such a careless way, we have to ask him if his conscience has been eaten by dogs! Someone in the crowd shouted, others followed suit, and the officials guarded the palace and did not let anyone in.

Han Min was sitting in the public hall at the moment, his face was exhausted, and his eyes were bloodshot: "Did you find that little girl yesterday?" ”

"Not yet."

Han Min sighed deeply, but got up and took off his official uniform: "The people from Dali Temple will arrive in a while, you will take good care of Miss Madame for me." ”

"But my lord, this matter has nothing to do with you, why should the people of Dali Temple arrest you!" The official looked annoyed.

Han Min shook her head slightly: "I can't get out of this matter, if it weren't for my negligence, she wouldn't have hanged herself." Han Min remembered the little girl's eyes full of hatred yesterday, and his heart was sour: "The people of Dali Temple will give me justice." ”

The officials who really followed him felt angry, but there was no evidence, and after a while, someone from Dali Temple really came.

In the crowd, one person saw that things had developed like this, smiled coldly, turned around and hurried in the direction of the Xiaoyao Palace.

Zhao Xunyan was in the courtyard at the moment, looking at the ten women sent by Zhen Niang, his face was dark: "Let's go down and rest." ”

The women didn't dare to say more, they all retreated, but Xu Jin walked out at this time, with a bowl of hot soup in his hand.

Xu Jin was dressed in brocade clothes, with complicated buns, and three or four gold and silver hairpins, walking slowly, and with everyone's demeanor, but everyone in this mansion knew that she was just the daughter of a criminal minister.

"The concubine has seen the prince." Xu Jin saluted outside the study.

Zhao Xunyan frowned slightly: "It's gone." ”

After hearing this, the guards on the side went out and said to Xu Jin: "Please go back, the prince doesn't want to see you now." ”

Xu Jin's eyes were full of tears, since she got married, Zhao Xunyan had never looked at her directly. Xu Jin choked up slightly and said inside: "Is the prince busy with official business?" I haven't seen the study for many days, and the concubine has heard that the prince has been at home recently, and it is not beneficial for the body to be bored in the study all day, and it is good for you to come out for a walk. ”

Zhao Xunyan listened to her words and remembered Zhenniang's entrustment last night. The Emperor had already suspected what he had been planning all day, and he really shouldn't have done it so obviously.

"Come in." Zhao Xunyan spoke.

Xu Jin was overjoyed, so he took the soup and walked in, saluted carefully, raised his eyes slightly to look at Zhao Xunyan's handsome face, and his face was crimson: "Lord Wang, this is stewed by the concubine herself."

"Put it aside, you sit on the side." Zhao Xunyan said impatiently.

Xu Jin didn't dare to say more, so he had to do it.

It didn't take long for the person who was staring at Han Min's movements to come back: "Lord Wang, it's been dealt with properly." ”

"Good!" Zhao Xunyan stood up: "Have the people from Dali Temple gone?" ”

"I went, but the little girl seemed to be gone." That's humane.

Zhao Xunyan's face sank: "You send someone to find it immediately, you must find it before Han Min's group!" ”

"Yes!" After the man finished speaking, he retreated, Zhao Xunyan originally planned to go out, but remembered Zhen Niang's explanation, and sighed slightly: "Go to the front yard to prepare a banquet, and call all the ten beauties of Fang Cai over to serve." ”

The guards on the side were all surprised, and when they saw that Zhao Xunyan didn't seem to be joking, they nodded and went out.

Xu Jin pursed her lips slightly: "Lord Wang, what can the concubine help do?" ”

Zhao Xunyan smiled faintly: "Of course there is, Chu Zhenzhen will marry in more than two months, and you will be in charge of it then." After Zhao Xunyan finished speaking, he didn't say a word more.

Xu Jin listened to it and was slightly happy in his heart. In the past, when the princess entered the door, it was personally handled by the grandmother in the palace, and no matter how bad it was, it was the chief housekeeper of the palace to manage it, how could she have a side concubine to manage it. Now that the King of Freedom is like this, I am afraid that he doesn't like Chu Zhenzhen either. wants to take the opportunity to humiliate her, and secondly, maybe to himself

Xu Jin tentatively stood beside Zhao Xunyan, and raised his hand on his shoulder: "Lord Wang, then there will be eight sedan chairs."

"You can prepare as much as you want, since it is the emperor's marriage, you can't do too bad in terms of face. As for the eight sedan chairs, the palace is tight, and I am afraid that I don't have the strength. Zhao Xunyan said coldly, Chu Zhenzhen was used by the emperor to humiliate him, and this Xu Jin was naturally too, how could he make them feel better.

"Get your hands off the way!"

Before Xu Jin could be happy, Zhao Xunyan said with a little disgust.

Xu Jin withdrew his hand embarrassedly: "Lord Wang, the strength of the concubine is too great"

"In the future, the palace will be under your control, I want you to find more beauties for this king to come in, do you hear?" Zhao Xunyan said coldly.

Xu Jin bowed slightly, Zhao Xunyan glanced at her indifferently, and walked towards the front yard.

When Chu Xiu received the news from Ruyifang, it happened that Chu Xiuxiu was here to show off the treatment she received yesterday.

"Big sister doesn't know, those young ladies usually embroider at home every day, and none of Xu's family has climbed to the royal family." Chu Xiuxiu said smugly.

Chu Xi looked at her: "Then why should the third sister grieve herself with them?" ”

"You don't know this, the young lady who invited me has a distant aunt in her family, who is in the palace, I heard that she is a concubine, and her position is not high, but she is also a concubine, so I just" Chu Xiuxiu said this, and hurriedly stopped, Chu Xiuxiu knew what she wanted to say, and she was about to inquire about the draft.

"Big sister, I sent you back this jade head, but those ladies have this head, do you have anything more valuable here?" We have another party in the past two days, and I want to wear it. Chu Xiuxiu said as she looked into Chu Xiu's house.

Chu Xi smiled and said, "Why don't you go to find your grandmother, everything in my grandmother's place is more precious than mine." ”

Chu Xiuxiu frowned: "Isn't my grandmother busy with my eldest brother and mother these days, no, Mrs. Qin's business, where do I dare to borrow it from her." ”

Chu Ji looked at her lightly: "Then I will borrow the third sister again, but don't talk about your mother's affairs outside, otherwise my father will take her back at that time, and I don't know what reason to find it." Chu Xi seemed to say unintentionally, so that someone went to the inner room and took the head of another set of gemstones.

When Chu Xiuxiu heard this, her mind began to turn again: "What does the eldest sister mean, is it possible for my father to take her back?" But haven't all the letters of resignation already been written? ”

"Husbands and wives quarrel, bedside quarrels, bedside quarrels, what's so strange about this." Chu Xiu said lightly, Chu Xiuxiu's heart was ruthless, if Qin Xue came back, she would not be as good as Chu Zhenzhen, thinking about Chu Zhenzhen's ignorance and humiliation of herself during this time, she would not let Qin Xue come back so easily.

Seeing that the things she wanted to borrow were borrowed, Chu Xiuxiu hurriedly left happily.

Lu Ya snorted: "These three young ladies directly regard the young lady's place as her own warehouse, and they will reach out to ask for things as soon as they come." ”

Xiao Fu'er also pouted: "No, the previous jade head was sent back to the slave and maid and found that there was a jade hairpin missing, and the young lady didn't let the slave and maid say it, otherwise she would come out and see what kind of face she still had to ask the young lady for something." ”

"Don't worry." Chu Xiwan'er: "These things are temporarily placed with her, and sooner or later they will have to be taken back." Chu Xi pondered carefully, and Lu Tan also came back early in the morning.

"Miss, it's done." Green sandalwood was covered with wind and frost, and Chunzhi silently stuffed her hand warmer stove to her: "The snow outside hasn't stopped yet." ”

"No, it's getting bigger and bigger, and I see a lot of homeless people begging on the side of the road." Midori shook her head with a sigh.

Chu Xi thought about it carefully, but she was thinking about the news of Han Min sent by Ruyifang before, but she didn't expect that she only heard the news yesterday, and the woman committed suicide that night. The key now is also that little girl, now it depends on whether Ruyifang finds the little girl first or someone else.

Chu Xi was thinking about it, and Bai Xue came over.

As soon as Bai Xue entered the house, she saw a few girls sitting around Chu Xi, all of them with relaxed and smiling faces, and couldn't help but be a little envious. Look at Chu Xi again, she is wearing a crimson wide-sleeved long skirt today, her hair is simply tied up, a tassel hairpin is decorated on both sides, and a ruby with a little thumb cover is on the forehead. made her already quiet eyes more and more bottomless.

"Miss, the old lady is already out of the yard." Bai Xue stepped forward and saluted.

Chu Xi bowed her head slightly and got up: "This box of pastries is a vegetarian meal that I asked people to prepare, bring it with you." ”

"Hey." Bai Xue responded with a smile, and Lu Tan took the food box and prepared to go out, but before he took two steps, he listened to Bai Xue's difficulty: "Miss, the old lady has ordered, saying that you can't let too many people know about going out of the house today, so only a carriage was prepared, and only the old lady, Mother Jiang and you were accompanying her, plus two guards and a coachman, and there was no one else." ”

"What!" Lu Tan was puzzled: "What kind of low-key is this, there are people around Miss to serve you." ”

"Mother Jiang will serve, and the old lady said that she will just go to Changle Nunnery to burn pillar incense and come back soon." Bai Xue's face was slightly red, and she didn't know why the old lady did this. But she's just a girl, she can only pass on words.

Chu Xi saw that the old lady did what she ordered, so she didn't feel much embarrassed, she carried the vegetarian fast, and turned her head to look at Lu Tan: "Then you just stay in the courtyard, you can't walk around." ”

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi and blinked: "Okay!" ”

Chu Ji bowed her head, and then followed Bai Xue out.

Chu Xi thought that the old lady would go out through the front door, but she chose the back door.

Chu Xi's heart sank suddenly, did she find something?

Old Madam Chu was waiting at the back door in person, and when she saw Chu Xi coming, she stepped forward and said, "It's here." ”

Chu Xi bowed slightly, the old lady saw that there was no one around her, so she turned around and got into the carriage, Chu Xi looked at Mother Jiang before getting into the carriage, but saw that her eyes were a little red: "What's wrong with Mother Jiang?" ”

The old lady glanced at Jiang's mother lightly and said, "It's okay, her niece has just passed away, and now she just went to Shangzhuxiang to ask for her life." ”

Mother Jiang lowered her eyes and did not speak. Chu Xi didn't say anything more, and followed into the carriage.

Before Chu Xi left, Lu Tan took Chu Xi's jade plate and hurried to Yang's mansion.

Chu Xi sat in the carriage, listening to the sound of the carriage rolling on the snow, and said, "Grandmother, have we changed the route?" Chu Xi lifted the carriage curtain and looked out.

The old lady only sat and smiled: "I heard that there are many upper-class people on the other road, although the road we took is a little off, it is safe." ”

Chu Ji looked at her and gently stroked the bracelet on her wrist. Now there are still four silver needles on the bracelet, and it should be no problem to restrain the old lady when the time comes.

Chu Xi thought like this, but the carriage was getting more and more deviant, and it was getting more and more urgent, and when it came to a hillside with a sharp corner, the horse neighed, and the carriage stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" The old lady seemed to have expected it.

The coachman in front of him came down the road; "Back to the old lady, our carriage is in the mud, you may have to come down for a while."

The old lady listened. said to Chu Xi: "Let's go down first." ”

Chu Xi naturally couldn't refuse, a few people got out of the carriage, and waited on the side, the two attendants were busy to help find things, Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Xi and said, "Sister, you wait here first, grandmother go ahead and take a look." ”

Chu Xi listened to her lame excuse, but she didn't refuse, the people of Wuji Pavilion should still be secretly following, but she had to think of a way to make the old lady completely break this idea.

When everyone was gone, and only one driver remained, there was movement on both sides of the forest.

"Come out." Chu Xi said lightly.

The coachman was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and was about to use the drug in his hand to cover Chu Xi, but before the person got close, he felt that something hit the back of his head, and touched it with his backhand. When he touched something slimy, he shouted in horror: "Help----! ”

After shouting, the man fell to the ground.

The people in the forest were stunned for a moment, and Chu Xi seemed to be waiting a little impatiently: "Come out." ”

The people in the forest looked left and right, thinking about the five or six of them, and they were not afraid, and rushed out with a knife in their hands.

"The little lady has good ears."

Chu Xi looked at the person in front of him, his face was fierce, he should have often done this kind of business.

"What did she tell you to do?" Chu Xi asked.

Those people were stunned again, and the leader's face was gloomy: "No one instructed us, we are just mountain bandits here"

"Be a mountain bandit, do you choose such a remote place to sincerely wait to starve to death?" Chu Ji said lightly.

Those people were stunned again: "Whether we starve to death or not, what does it matter to you." ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, Old Madam Chu had been engaged for a long time, and only found some stupid thieves.

"You don't talk nonsense, hand over all the money on your body"

Before they finished speaking, Chu Ji took out the ten taels of silver in the purse around his waist: "It's all here, do you want the hairpin on my head or something?" It can also be given to you. Chu Ji said and raised his hand to get the hairpin.

Those rockery bandits were dumbfounded, what is the situation with this girl, why don't you play cards according to the routine, why don't you be frightened, don't scream, don't shout for mercy?

"Big brother, what should I do?" The little brother on the side asked.

The leader was also confused: "How do I know what to do!" After thinking about it, he simply took the silver in Chu Xi's hand and snorted coldly: "Our brothers haven't tasted a woman for a long time, so let's start with Miss today." "With that, raise your hand and pounce.

Chu Xi took a step back, and immediately two men in plain clothes came out, and when the knives fell, the belts of these stupid thieves were all broken, revealing the thighs of several people like woolen pants.

Chu Xi's eyes turned away: "You help me do something, I can spare your life." Chu Ji said.

"Miss, please command, go to the soup and go to the fire," the leader hurriedly lifted his pants and said.

Chu Ji blinked: "There is still time now, I want you to go to the foot of Changle Nunnery Mountain immediately, and then"

"And then?" A few people came over.

Chu Xi learned from Lin Qingyu and bent his eyes: "Robbing my carriage, you must be cruel, you must be rude, after scaring people, you must run to Changle Nunnery." ”

The mountain bandits didn't understand: "Is it like the person who told you before, to deal with them like Miss?" ”

"That's not necessary." Chu Xi said, she didn't want the old lady to die so quickly, seeing that they were relieved, she said: "But I need them to be slightly injured, if they can't be frightened, then don't blame me." Chu Xi looked at them and saw that their eyes were rolling quickly: "Also, if you dare to run"

Those few people looked at the man who was following Chu Xi out of nowhere, where did they dare to think of running: "Miss, don't worry, we will definitely do it." ”

Chu Xi smiled with satisfaction.

Mrs. Chu left for about half an hour before coming back with Jiang's mother, but when she came back, she didn't see the coachman, and saw Chu Ji waiting on the side of the road in neat clothes.

Old Madam Chu was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to look at Chu Xi: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay." Chu Xi looked at her and chuckled: "What is grandmother worried about?" ”

"Nothing." The old lady looked around, but it was neat and tidy, and it didn't look like there had been any traces of a fight or struggle: "By the way, what about the coachman?" ”

"I told him to look for his grandmother, why, grandmother, didn't he see anyone?" Chu Ji was puzzled.

The old lady had a trace of horror on her face, and looked at the two guards behind her: "That's it, let's go to Changle Nunnery first." "Anyway, if you dodge this calamity, you can't escape the next calamity.

The old lady thought secretly, helped Jiang's mother to get into the carriage, Chu Xi also followed, and the carriage quickly went to Changle Nunnery.

When I arrived at Changle Nunnery, it was not yet noon, and the road leading to Changle Nunnery was also a steep bluestone road. In such weather, the people around to buy incense and candles are gone, and it is very quiet.

The old lady got out of the carriage, looked at the steep mountain road, and was ruthless in her heart: "Xi'er, let's go up." ”

"Okay." Chu Ji responded, but before a few people had gone far, five or six mountain bandits ran out and surrounded a few people.

"Stop!" The leader said fiercely.

The old lady's face turned slightly pale: "Who are you!" "The old lady asked her subordinates to do it, and she didn't know a few people. The two guards also hurriedly drew their knives.

"Hmph, we're mountain bandits, can't you see it? Killing people is our old business! ”

"Do you know who we are? We are the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you dare to do it, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not spare you! Mother Jiang also scolded.

Those mountain bandits laughed and waved Li's knife: "What I want today is the life of your Chu people!" ”

The old lady heard the taste: "Who are you who you are, who do you obey, even if you die, let me die clearly!" ”

"Who have you been with lately, you don't know?" The leader said according to the old routine, generally even if the family wants to investigate in the end, it is the so-called 'enemy' who is pursuing his nonsense. As he spoke, he laughed grimly: "I can tell you, you don't want to go up today, and you will die!" With that, the six men brandished their knives and began to slash at them.

Chu Xi was originally standing behind, but she didn't want the old lady to pull her arm violently, so she pulled herself in front of her, and then pushed herself towards those mountain bandits, turned her head and ran towards the carriage by herself.

Chu Xi's face sank, and she glanced at the leader. The leader hurriedly understood, and chased after him with a knife, and the old lady stepped into the carriage with one foot, and the mountain bandit's knife slashed at her feet: "You still want to run, I'll see where you run!" With that, she raised her knife and pounced again, and this time the old lady pulled out Mother Jiang to block it.

Mother Jiang saw that the knife was all on her face, but she didn't cut it down in the end.

The leader smiled: "Old lady, you are too unkind to do this, you are not a kind person, but I am." With that, he raised his knife and walked towards the old lady again.

The old lady panicked and stepped back: "Whatever you want, I can give it to you." ”

Seeing that the two guards were getting worse and worse, and the old lady was getting more and more panicked, she hadn't thought about dying so early.

The leader raised his eyebrows slightly, thought about it, nothing is more important than life, and said, "I don't want anything." Just your life! ”

"I'll give you my granddaughter!" Old Madam Chu said loudly, everyone was stunned, the leader looked back at Chu Xi, and then looked at the old lady, it turned out that this was her granddaughter, but she actually thought of finding someone to destroy her own granddaughter's reputation, such a vicious old woman is also rare.

Seeing that they all stopped, the old lady thought it was useful, and hurriedly said: "My granddaughter's beauty, I will give it to you, you can do whatever you want, just don't kill me, I am the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can still give you silver"

The leader didn't know what to do, and was hesitating, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the leader remembered Chu Xi's previous words, looked at Changle Nunnery, and said, "Withdraw!" "Say it. He rudely removed all the things on the old lady's body, and then ran away in a hurry.

Mother Jiang's hair was messy, she looked at the old lady sitting on the ground with soft legs, and then looked at the calm Chu Xi, and didn't say anything.

Chu Xi frowned slightly, why did Yang Ci come so early, the time was not right.

When the sound of horses' hooves got closer, Chu Xi raised his eyes and found that the person who came was not Yang Ci, and it was not the army, but a group of black-clothed people who came on horseback.

"Run," Chu Ji shouted.

"What?" Before the old lady could hear clearly, she saw Chu Xi turn around and scold the stunned guard: "Don't help the old lady into the carriage yet!" ”

The guard came back to his senses and quickly helped the old lady into the car, and Chu Xi also followed into the carriage: "Quick, run to the official road!" "They came early, these are the ones who really came to Tuan!

The old lady grabbed Chu Xi and looked at her coldly: "What do you want to do?" There were traps she had prepared along the way, and she was unwilling to let Chu Xi leave safely so easily.

Chu Xi held back the breath in her heart: "If you don't run again, it's too late!" There is a heavy murderous aura on those who ride horses! Chu Xi said patiently, looking at the black-clothed man who had already discovered his group. snatched the whip from the guard's hand and slammed it on the horse in front of him.

The horses of the twenty or so people rushed over murderously, some of them went up the mountain, and some of them chased after Chu Xi and the others, and the old lady looked at the people chasing outside the carriage, so she believed Chu Xi.

"Quick, run, run the way we came"

"No, run on the official road!" Chu Xi immediately stopped it.

The old lady seemed to be very angry, and stared at Chu Xi angrily: "You can't kill us, it's at least a kilometer away from the official road here, let's go back to the city, and we will be able to return to the city soon."

"They caught up without waiting to return to the city, and now they are running in the direction of the official road, and they don't dare to chase after a while!" Chu Xi said coldly.

The old lady gritted her teeth, but she still didn't understand what Chu Xi meant: "Chu Xi, if you kill us"

Before the old lady could finish her words, a long sword pierced through the carriage and grazed the old lady's ear.

The old lady froze. Only then did he stop talking and did not dare to speak again.

Chu Xi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and the two people from Wuji Pavilion who came with him had already entangled most of the people, but only two came out.

"Hurry up!" Chu Xi urged the guards, but the two guards were in the Prime Minister's Mansion on weekdays, and they had never seen blood at all, and when they saw such a battle, they were so frightened that they lost their souls, as soon as Chu Xi spoke, they only knew that they began to whip the horse, but as soon as the horse raised its front hooves, it neighed, and the carriage almost rolled over, but the two guards did not sit firmly and fell directly.

The old lady hurriedly opened the curtain to look, but the black-clothed man who followed behind him raised his knife and fell, and the two guards didn't even have time to get up before they died.

The old lady was so frightened that she sat back: "What should I do?" ”

Chu Xi took a deep breath: "You sit tight." With that, he got out of the carriage, barely grabbed the reins, and continued to run.

The old lady was stunned: "She, when did she learn to ride a horse?" ”

Jiang's mother was also pale. has more respect for Chu Xi: "In the end, it is the bloodline of the Yang Mansion, General Yang has fought on the battlefield all his life, and his children are naturally not weak." ”

The old lady glanced at her dissatisfied, but she didn't say more, and carefully avoided the whole process, for fear that there would be another sword coming through her.

Chu Xi ran to the official road, but the people behind were still chasing after her, and there was an idea that she was bound to kill a few of them, but the old lady came out today, and the general carriage she specially selected, whether it was the quality of the carriage itself or the horse, was relatively poor, Chu Xi watched the horse rush towards the big stone in front of her, gritted her teeth slightly, and pulled the reins with her hands, but the horse rushed over like crazy, and the carriage hit the big stone, and it was directly torn apart, and Chu Xi also fell down directly. It's just that there was no expected pain, but fell into a warm embrace, and a faint scent of herbs lingered on the tip of his nose.

"It's okay." The voice of concern came, and Chu Xi opened his eyes and saw Lin Qingyu with a worried face.

"How are you?" Chu Xi was puzzled, Lin Qingyu should be in retreat to recuperate.

Lu Tan also ran over at this time: "Miss, it's okay!" ”

Only then did Chu Xi understand that she asked Lu Tan to find Yang Ci, but Lu Tan went to find Lin Qingyu.

Chu Xi shook his head slightly, and asked Lin Qingyu to put himself down, after all, there were so many people watching, but Lin Qingyu looked at the few people in black coldly, and said, "I'll send you to my carriage first." With that, he directly hugged Chu Xi and went to the carriage not far away.

Su Su solved a man in black, looked at Lin Qingyu's back, and bit his lip slightly, while Lin Fu directly solved another man in black, and sighed: "These people are so powerful!" ”

The old lady and Mother Jiang climbed out of the ruins of the carriage, and when they saw the head rolling down in front of her, they screamed in fright, Lin Fu frowned slightly, and walked over: "Old lady Chu, the carriage of our son is in front, you go over and rest first." ”

Old Madam Chu looked forward, and only vaguely saw Lin Qingyu's back: "I can't walk anymore." "Old Madam Chu's legs are weak.

Lin Fu said: "Oh, then you wait, I'll go back to the house to find you a soft sedan chair." With that, he left.

The old lady was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, she thought that the people of the Hou Mansion had some respect for her for the sake of Chu Xi's own grandmother, but now that she looked at it, she didn't even take her seriously.

Lu Tan glanced at the old lady who was still acting majestic and ruthless, and her face was full of contempt, such an old lady deserved to be slaughtered.

Lin Qingyu carefully put Chu Xi on the carriage, and then coughed lightly.

"Are you alright?" Chu Ji asked, but Lin Qingyu just took her hands and looked at her hands that were strangled by the reins, feeling distressed and angry: "I will go to ask the emperor for an order to marry you back in advance, so that the people of Chu Mansion can torture you all day long." ”

Chu Ji looked at his angry appearance, put away his hand slightly, and said, "I'm fine."

Lin Qingyu ignored her, took medicine from the carriage and carefully sprinkled it on her wound, and then took out his handkerchief and carefully bandaged her hand: "You knew someone was coming, right?" ”

"I didn't know they would show up at this time, I have already informed Yang Ci"

Under his questioning, Chu Xi inexplicably felt a little weak-hearted.

"Yang Ci had already asked him to go to Changle Nunnery when I came, but this time, neither Wuji Pavilion nor Ruyi Fang received any news, as if it was carried out suddenly." Lin Qingyu said.

Chu Xi nodded, she just wanted to avoid this topic, if he asked about the news that even Ruyi Fang and Wuji Pavilion had not monitored, how did she know, how to answer this, could she say that it had happened in her previous life, so she could probably estimate it?

Seeing her like this, Lin Qingyu's expression eased and he didn't ask any more.

At this time, Old Madam Chu had already come over, saw Lin Qingyu, and said, "Thank you Lin Shizi for saving me." ”

"Yes, after all, Miss Chu is here." Lin Qingyu smiled faintly, but the old lady understood the meaning of his words, he said that if it weren't for Chu Xi, he would definitely not come to the rescue.

The old lady looked at Chu Xi, remembered the thing that pushed her out before, gritted her teeth, and said with concern: "Xi'er, are you okay?" ”

Chu Xi glanced at her indifferently: "Grandmother, do you want to go to Changle Nunnery again?" ”

"No need." The old lady was a little annoyed when she saw her asking knowingly, but she didn't dare to attack in front of Lin Qingyu. Seeing that he defended Chu Xi like this, if Chu Xi told the previous matter, he would really leave him alone.

"Lord Shizi, there are more than a dozen people behind." Su Su hurriedly came over and said, no matter how powerful the two people of Wuji Pavilion were, they couldn't resist these dozen people.

Lin Qingyu bowed his head and glanced at Lu Tan: "Send your master back." ”

Green sandalwood bowed, Chu Xi grabbed the curtain and looked at him: "What about Lin Shizi?" ”

Lin Qingyu saw that she was worried. smiled: "You go first, and I'll come later." ”

Old Madam Chu hurriedly urged: "Yes, let's go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first and call someone over, and staying is just a drag." Old Madam Chu suddenly thought that if Lin Qingyu died, wouldn't Chu Xi's marriage contract be dissolved

Chu Xi didn't notice the killing intent in her eyes, but she knew that it would be useless for her to stay, so she had to nod, and Lu Tan quickly drove the carriage to Chu Mansion.

Lin Qingyu watched the carriage leave, and then turned his head to look at the people who were fighting in front of him, his eyes were cold: "Go, stay alive." ”

"Yes!"

After the carriage ran for a while, the old lady began to complain: "Run slower, I can't stand it." ”

Chu Xi glanced at her coldly: "Grandmother is a little patient, if it is late, I am afraid that something will happen to Lin Shizi." ”

Old Madam Chu looked at her dissatisfiedly: "You have always had this Lin Shizi on your lips, do you want to end up with a reputation like your second sister?" ”

"That's better than not trying to repay the favor, what does grandmother think?" Chu Xi replied coldly.

The old lady had nothing to refute, and the green sandalwood drove the horse faster and faster. The old lady who was bumpy almost fell apart before she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The first thing he did when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion was that Chu Xi asked people to go to the Xiangfu Mansion's guards.

"Wait!" The old lady said.

Chu Xi turned her eyes to look at her: "What's wrong with grandmother?" ”

The old lady glanced at Chu Xi: "Now those people are just afraid that they are coming for us, if Lin Shizi doesn't stop or there are fish that have slipped through the net to find the Prime Minister's Mansion, won't the Prime Minister's Mansion suffer?" ”

Chu Xi suppressed the anger in her heart: "Then you mean, don't send guards to save people." ”

"Naturally, the guards of the Chu Mansion are not allowed to leave without orders." Old Madam Chu said coldly, thinking that she had the upper hand, and her head was raised high.

Lu Tan was in a hurry: "Old lady, where is Lin Shizi"

"He did it himself, did I tell him to mess with those killers?" The old lady said, held Jiang's mother's hand, turned her head and left.

Mother Jiang looked back at Chu Xi, sighed slightly in her heart, but also followed the old lady's footsteps and left.

"Miss, what should I do" Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi's clenched hands, and blood was already dripping out.

Chu Xi took a deep breath: "Go and inform Ruyifang and let them save people." ”

"Yes." Lu Tan hurriedly ran out again.

Chu Xi looked at the old lady's back, originally she thought that the old lady Chu was not involved in killing her mother. In her previous life, she didn't fall into the trap, and she didn't plan to retaliate against her, but now, she will never let it go!

When Chu Xi returned to the Pavilion, the people in the Pavilion were terrified, because not only were her hands covered in blood, but her body was also so cold that it made people feel as if she had just come back from hell.

"Miss" Green Sprouts hurriedly walked over.

Chu Xi went back to the room alone and waited, and no one was allowed to disturb her. Old Madam Chu was slightly relieved when she heard that Chu Xi had not moved since she returned to the courtyard, but before she could calm down, Chu Bingsong came over angrily.

"Qin Xue has posted all the resignation letters on the bulletin board of the yamen!" Chu Bingsong was so angry that his face turned pale: "As soon as I went out today, I was accused everywhere, saying that I liked the new and hated the old and spoiled the concubine and killed my wife, Qin Xue also shouted everywhere that I saved Tai'er in disregard of the law, and the emperor questioned me in the court today, which made me lose face!" Chu Bingsong looked at Old Madam Chu angrily, and didn't ask her why her face was white and her hair was messy.

"I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy, my mother will personally go and invite Qin Xue back." Chu Bingsong frowned.

"What!" Old Madam Chu only felt that her heart was pressed like a boulder: "Tai'er, you asked me to invite Qin Xue back." You're not crazy! ”

Seeing that she was unwilling, Chu Bingsong remembered the ridicule he heard today, and said in a deep voice: "I went to see King Xiaoyao after going down to the court today, and I ate a closed door again, who does my mother think is caused by this?" If you hadn't said that you were going to poison Tai'er, if you hadn't taken the initiative to take Qin Xue's leave, would something like this happen today! Chu Bingsong was annoyed.

After hearing this, Old Madam Chu sat down on the stool: "Song'er, this is your attitude when talking to your mother?" ”

Chu Bingsong glanced at her and saluted respectfully: "If your mother doesn't go today, then you can go back to your hometown to care for the elderly, I don't think you can recuperate well in this capital." After Chu Bingsong finished speaking, he left angrily.

The old lady was so angry that she was dizzy for a while, and it was Mother Jiang who took a few pieces of ginseng and asked her to hold it under her tongue to ease up, but the whole person seemed to wilt. She has been strong all her life, but she doesn't want to be reprimanded like this by her son who just escaped death.

"Go, get ready for the carriage!" Old Madam Chu said coldly.

"The old lady is going to the Dingguo Mansion?" Jiang's mother asked.

Old Madam Chu looked indifferent, since these things were all because of Qin Xue's death. If she 'commits suicide in fear of sin,' then nothing will happen."

Chunzhi told Chu Xi that Chu Bingsong had just gone to Ronghua Courtyard to lose his temper, and Chu Xi listened to it and walked out of the room this time.

"Xiao Fu'er, go to the second lady's courtyard and say that I have something important to look for her. If it's too late, her mother won't survive. Chu Xi said coldly, Old Madam Chu couldn't tolerate Qin Xue's thorn in her eye, but she wanted her to live, and see who Qin Xue would bite to death in the end!
