Chapter 145: The Wind Grows Tighter
When Chu Dai'er heard their plan, she sat on the ground dejectedly and looked at her in a daze: "You never told me that my father was"
"Are you happy?" The woman approached: "I let you recognize your father!" ”
Chu Dai'er raised her eyes to look at her, and couldn't control her tears: "Mother, why?"
"From now on, you don't have to call me mother, because"
Before she finished her words, Zhao Xunyan walked in from outside: "Don't worry, our plan may not succeed." ”
The woman looked up, saw that he already had a mask on his face, and sneered: "What, I was scratched by your little flower cat?" ”
Zhao Xunyan's palms tightened slightly: "It's none of your business, we said before, since we cooperate, we must cooperate well, do you want to be invalid?" ”
"As soon as the emperor dies, my revenge will be avenged, why should I listen to you?" The woman turned around and was about to leave, but Zhao Xunyan sneered: "Just because you still want to kill the current emperor of Southern Xinjiang, your brother, the person who drove you out of Southern Xinjiang back then, right, Princess Langyue Qiu?" ”
The woman's footsteps stopped, and the people in the room quickly drew their swords, but Zhao Xunyan didn't seem surprised at all, and stepped forward and said: "Chu Dai'er No matter what you say, it is useful to you at the moment, and the matter is not a foregone conclusion, so let's not cut off our back road too early." ”
"Aren't you planning to spread the word about her affair with the Emperor?" Lang Yueqiu looked at him coldly.
Zhao Xunyan remembered that he glanced at Chu Ji before, and shook his head: "I have changed my mind, this method cannot guarantee that the old emperor will definitely die, and" Zhao Xunyan looked at Chu Dai'er and said: "In the hands of the fifth prince Zhao Yiheng, there are other powers, right?" ”
Chu Dai'er's face was ashen, Zhao Xunyan was right, she did know Zhao Yiheng's other powers, but she also hid it from the people here, because she didn't believe them!
Lang Yueqiu listened. Walked up to Chu Dai'er and said softly, "How can you lie to me?" ”
Chu Dai'er stared at her with her eyes: "Because I'm worried that one day, even I will kill you." "She's just a madman, she's never been nice to herself for so many years, she's going to kill herself, definitely, so she can't have nothing on her hands.
"You're so smart, it's not in vain that I've been cultivating you for so many years." Lang Yueqiu's face emerged from the darkness, a face full of scars, which showed the effect of poison on her back then, even if she was good at using poison, she had just given birth to a child, and her body was weak, how could she deal with such poison? Fortunately, Old Madam Chu and Chu Bingsong have already gone to hell.
Chu Dai'er stepped back a little, wanting to get out of her gaze, but before she moved, Lang Yueqiu sneered: "Don't be afraid, my child, when we finish avenging, glory and wealth are still waiting for you." ”
Zhao Xunyan also stepped forward and stared at Chu Dai'er: "You go back to the Chu Mansion immediately now and drag Chu Dai'er." ”
"Why didn't you just kill her?" Chu Dai'er sarcastically said: "She has repeatedly spoiled you for good things, you shouldn't be reluctant to do it because you fall in love with her!" ”
Zhao Xunyan was not angry at all, and only smiled: "Even if it is, what? Don't you want to do anything to her again, the person I fancy can only come and slowly torture her to death, and" Zhao Xunyan looked at her pityingly: "You can't go back to the palace for the time being, I want you to find a way to go to the Hou Mansion!" ”
"Chu Xi won't let me go"
"She will, as long as you are seriously injured in order to save her" Zhao Xunyan said, a different color flashed in Lang Yueqiu's eyes, but he did not refuse, and raised his hand to let Chu Dai'er out.
The man in the cloak before dragged Chu Dai'er and threw her out like a rag.
Lang Yueqiu looked at Zhao Xunyan: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Today, after killing Chu Zhenzhen, I realized what it meant to take the old emperor's life directly." Zhao Xunyan said lightly, he still did not have the slightest apology for Chu Zhenzhen's death.
Lang Yueqiu frowned: "I just want him to die, the torture is enough now!" ”
"You don't have to kill him, he won't last next year, so why bother?" Zhao Xunyan's eyes lit up: "Killing people is like a cat and mouse, making him in constant panic and under the knife, but not killing him, but making him more uncomfortable than death!" ”
"Say the plan!" Lang Yueqiu had already begun to get impatient.
Zhao Xunyan chuckled and said, "What do you think the emperor cares about the most?" ”
"His throne!" Lang Yueqiu's face was cold.
"That's not right." Zhao Xunyan shook his head: "When he was young, he cared about the throne, and when he got old, he began to care about women and reputation, Chu Dai'er counted one, his Jiangshan Sheji counted one, but there is one person, he will not be easily hurt until he dies"
"Who?"
Zhao Xunyan raised his head coldly and looked outside: "Huaiyang!" ”
Lang Yueqiu was slightly stunned: "She's cooperating with you"
"So what's the matter, as long as she dies, this crime will be Zhao Xuanyi's, and the heart is in the old emperor with Chu Dai'er dragging her back, she is useless." Zhao Xunyan's eyes burst out with a cold glow, and the corners of his mouth also rose evilly, Zhao Xuanyi, Prince Xian, if he killed the old emperor's favorite Huaiyang, I don't know how the old emperor would react!
Chu Xi's carriage hurried out, as if it was dark today, and a drizzle began to fall outside.
When Chu Dai'er found the carriage, she raised her hand slightly towards the people around her, and immediately, a group of people immediately appeared to surround Chu Xi's carriage and kill him without saying anything.
But when the assassins approached, the guards of the Hou Mansion ran away, and none of them drew their swords, allowing them to stab them in the carriage.
"Fooled!" Chu Dai'er in the dark snorted lightly, but then sneered: "Chu Xi is Chu Xi, it's really interesting to play with her!" ”
"So what do we do?" The bystander asked.
Chu Dai'er thought of the Hou Mansion, remembered the little county lord who was living in it now, and laughed: "She has so many concerns, she can escape once, can she escape twice?"
Chu Yi had already taken the path back to the Hou Mansion at this time, and Yan Yi was ready to listen to orders at any time.
Chu Xi said as she looked inside: "We can't seal the rumors, go down immediately." Spread these few things. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The first thing, Pei County dug out the fierce stone, it is a catastrophe from heaven, there is a famous monk to sacrifice the river with blood, the prince has found out, this is a heart. The second thing, the disease of the epidemic in the neighboring county, is **, the general Zheng Yun will return to Beijing in the near future, and it has been found out that there is something to do about it. The third case, the death of Prime Minister Chu Bingsong and the seventeenth princess, the crown prince has also been found out, and it was done with a heart. After Chu Xi finished speaking, Yan Yi's eyes widened: "Princess, these are unfounded"
"True and false, false and true, as soon as their news is released, even if the people talk about it, they don't dare to say anything, since we can't stop it. Let's help stir the paste first. Chu Ji said.
Yan bowed his head and immediately ordered someone to do it.
Chu Xi returned to the Rujin Pavilion, found the purple jade pendant that Lin Qingyu gave him at the beginning, and said to the attendants of the Hou Mansion: "You immediately send the jade pendant to Ruyi Fang, and let the second master immediately spread the scandal of all the ministers who followed the prince in the capital, and it is best to write a small note and distribute it everywhere, creating the illusion that someone wants to frame the prince and frame the emperor." "In this way, Ruyifang can't stay in the capital, but it can make the pot of water in the capital completely muddy, so that there is no need to worry about pointing the finger at the prince. But Zhao Xunyan will not stop so easily, if he can't cure the prince, Zhao Yiheng, who is in the limelight, will not be better.
The attendant hurriedly took the jade pendant and hurriedly went to Ruyi Fang.
Yan Yi admired Chu Xi a little, and it was a shame that she could come up with such a method of fighting with strength in such a short time.
"Miss, don't be too tired." Xiao Fu'er looked at Chu Xi, she was constantly running back and forth all day today, how good is this child.
Chu Xi also felt a little tired, and it seemed that after confirming that she was happy, she always felt groggy: "You can't slack off in this matter." "Now Qingyu is not in the capital, Zheng Yun has not rushed back, there are not many people around the prince who can be used, the emperor's body is getting worse day by day, if you really know the relationship with Chu Dai'er, once she dies, the prince will be in danger, she can do some now.
As he was talking, news came from outside: "Princess Shizi, Miss Yun is here." ”
"Yi'er?" Chu Xi didn't understand what she was doing here: "Let her in." ”
"Yes."
After a while, Yun Songyi hurriedly ran in, her hair on her forehead was a little messy, and as soon as she came in, she said, "Sister Ji'er, Zheng Yun has secretly arrived in the capital." ”
When Chu Xi heard this, her heart was a little more steady: "Then you come here"
"It was he who asked me to come over and tell you, Lin Shizi has already expected today's situation and has made preparations, please don't worry, he will deal with it." Yun Song Yi Dao.
"How did the prince arrange it?" Chu Xi asked.
As soon as Yun Songyi said this, everyone was stunned, this world is good, and he wants to go with Chu Xi.
"Also, the prince said that the emperor and the Chu nobles are not husband and wife, so even if the emperor hears it, he will not be angry." Yun Songyi said again.
When Chu Xi heard this, she was amazed that the emperor still kept this hand, but it could be regarded as accumulating virtue for himself.
"But the matter of the dead man cannot be hidden." Chu Ji said.
Yun Songyi bowed: "Zheng Yun said that the prince and the prince have discussed, and this time he will not be soft on the five princes." ”
After hearing this, Chu Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, she just wished that she could fall asleep now.
Seeing that the prince was already vigilant and prepared, Chu Xi didn't get involved, and glanced at Yan Yi: "You go down first, you have to keep staring at the news before." ”
"Yes." As soon as Yan retreated, Chu Xi took Yun Songyi's hand: "Sit on the side." ”
Yun Songyi was still like a child in front of Chu Xi, she was not guarded, and only smiled: "Sister Ji'er has children." ”
"You will have it too" Chu Xi laughed, and Yun Songyi's face turned red: "My sister made fun of me." ”
"What a joke. Miss, this is blessing you. Xiao Fu'er laughed and limped to pour tea.
Yun Songyi looked at Chu Xi's house, the four girls who were close to her, now there is only one left, every time she came over before, she was chattering, but now it is much colder.
"Are the green shoots okay?"
"Okay, now it's a pet, what's so bad." Xiao Fu'er chattered, she hadn't been nagging for a long time, and when she saw Yun Songyi, she could be regarded as able to speak happily.
Yun Songyi bent her eyes: "She's a blessed one." ”
"Isn't it?" Xiao Fu'er thought of the spring branches, her eyes turned red, and she brought the tea: "I just hope that Sister Green Sprout can be well, I will serve by Miss's side in my life, and when I am older, Miss is lifting a grandmother for me, and the monthly rate will increase by four or five times."
Yun Song Yihaha laughed: "You would have thought, a few days ago, I saw the guard of the Prince's Mansion cold knife, grinding, and asked me about you."
"Him?" When Xiao Fu'er heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "Elm pimple, it's not as good as Lin Fu, although it's colder, but it's handsome and powerful, and the cold knife is stupid and big, I can't look down on it." ”
Chu Xi and Yun Songyi glanced at each other, and they both laughed.
At night, Yun Songyi didn't leave at all, and stayed in the Hou Mansion, but in the middle of the night, he heard the sound of fighting outside, and the group seemed to know the Hou Mansion very well, and soon rushed to Chu Xi's courtyard, and in Chu Xi's east courtyard, the prince's daughter Yao'er lived.
Yun Songyi wanted to understand this, didn't think much about it, casually put on his clothes and took his sword and ran out, by then, there was already a fight here.
Chu Ji was also awakened from a deep sleep, and was a little shocked when she saw that they were coming for Yao'er, looking at all the people who were guarding in front of her, and said, "Go and save Yao'er!" ”
"Yes!" Those people listened to the order and directly mentioned that they chased after them, but this group of people obviously came prepared, brought a large amount of drugs and poison powder, and was not obsessed with fighting, only ran away after arresting Yao'er.
"Hurry up and chase it!" Chu Xi hurriedly said, Yun Songyi ran over: "I'll call Zheng Yun!" ”
"Wait!" Chu Xi grabbed her: "I'll go with you"
"Nope"
"I know where they're going!" Chu Xi said that, and directly pulled Yun Songyi into the rain curtain.
The carriage of the Hou Mansion quickly ran out, and the people hiding in the shadows saw Chu Xi come out, and the corners of their mouths raised slightly: "Do it!" ”
Chu Xi's carriage was running forward, when suddenly a group of people surrounded him and showed the knife in his hand.
Chu Xi's face was slightly cold: "Yi'er, you go to Zheng Yun first!" ”
"No, if I leave, it's too dangerous for you to be alone." Yun Song Yi Dao.
Chu Xi frowned: "They won't kill me." Chu Xi glanced at her, Yun Songyi blinked, and understood: "Okay, I'll go first." With that, Tibu rushed out of the carriage and headed in a certain direction.
Those people were about to chase, Chu Dai'er in the dark made a gesture, those people understood, and immediately pounced, but before they could get close to the carriage, they heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, and then the pop sound continued, and when there was no sound around, a man came out of the shadows, sat in front of the carriage, and drove the carriage away.
Chu Dai'er's face in the dark was cold, and she could see clearly that the arrows did not come out of the hair, but from the surroundings.
"What should I do?"
"Does she think she can escape, she has calculated everything, and she will never count that I will go directly to the Hou Mansion!" Chu Dai'er said, sneered and watched the anxious Chu Xi leave, turned around and went to the Hou Mansion.
Yun Songyi was waiting for the carriage at the next intersection, and when the carriage came, he hurriedly got into the carriage: "It's so dangerous, Sister Ji'er, you actually have people with you." ”
"It's you who carry people with you." Chu Xi looked at her with a smile, Yun Songyi was puzzled, and when the carriage in front of her turned his head, his eyes widened with joy: "Why are you here?" ”
Zheng Yun showed his trademark beard and smiled, "I'm worried about you." ”
A simple sentence made Yun Songyi's face turn red.
Chu Xi looked at the piece of paper that the guards quietly stuffed into her hand when she left the Hou Mansion and told her that Zheng Yun was secretly following, so she was so relieved that she came out without the guards.
"Princess, where are we going?"
"Go to the East Side." Zhao Xunyan and their lair are there, and if they catch Yao'er, they will definitely go there.
"Yes!" Zheng Yun responded, and quickly whipped up and went to Dongcheng.
Zhao Xunyan was sitting on the second floor of the inn at the moment, looking down from the window, as if he was waiting for Chu Xi to come over.
Not long after, sure enough, a large group of men in black approached, led by a little girl in their arms, followed by a carriage with only one coachman.
"Stop!"
Chu Xi got out of the carriage, looked at the black-clothed man in front of him and shouted, the group of people really stopped.
The leader raised his head, looked at Zhao Xunyan by the window, nodded at him, turned his head and put down the child, but put the knife on her neck.
"What about your master?" Chu Xi asked in a cold voice.
The man in black didn't speak, Yao'er seemed to be frightened, and kept opening her hand towards Chu Xi: "Concubine Shizi, Yao'er is afraid"
Chu Xi's palms clenched tightly, she was afraid that this time would be the same as the last Chunzhi, so she could only watch her die in front of her and could not do anything.
"Yao'er, don't be afraid, I'll take you back." Chu Xi comforted softly.
"Do you remember Fu'er?"
The voice came from one side, and Chu Xi froze, Fu'er was her secret, and no one knew it except herself.
"What? Forgot about Fu'er? Zhao Xunyan slowly walked out of the darkness, holding a blood-red umbrella and a crow-blue robe, looking up at Chu Xi, she was really different from before, she used to be infatuated, but she didn't have the brain now.
Chu Ji looked at him fixedly, could it be that he actually remembered the events of his previous life?
Impossible, how could he
"Chu Xi, this king was always in a dream some time ago, and you were killed in a dream"
"If it's a dream, why do you come to me and say it?" Chu Ji tried her best to suppress her emotions and looked at Zhao Xunyan: "You killed Chu Zhenzhen?" ”
Zhao Xunyan didn't think she cared about this, and said with a smile: "What, aren't you happy?" I thought she was dead, and you must be the happiest. ”
"Then you admit it?"
"What if you admit it, what if you don't admit it, Chu Xi, do you think you can still help me now?" Zhao Xunyan walked to Yao'er's side lightly, raised his hand and lightly put it on the top of her head: "As long as I exert myself like this, she will die, just like your Fu'er, there will be no corpse!" ”
"Zhao Xunyan!" Chu Xi finally couldn't help it, and Yun Songyi pulled her. Let her jerk herself from her hatred. She felt her heart dull, and began to gasp slightly: "What do you want to do?" ”
"Naturally, I want to do what I've done in my dreams." Zhao Xunyan sneered, but Chu Xi let go of Yun Songyi's hand and took two steps forward: "Then you let Yao'er go." ”
"Let her go? How could you possibly be so calm to talk to me here? Zhao Xunyan said, the strength of his subordinates was a little stronger, and Yao'er couldn't help crying bitterly.
Chu Ji was distressed, and looked at him in the dark with a slightly hoarse voice: "I'll exchange him, you let Yao'er go"
Zhao Xunyan looked at Chu Xi lightly and chuckled: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Chu Xi, do you want to die with me?" ”
Seeing that he noticed, Chu Xi let go of the dagger he was holding in his hand, took off the purple jade bracelet in his hand, and slowly approached step by step: "I won't kill you, you let Yao'er go, and I'll exchange her." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Xunyan became more and more interested, but the person behind him reminded: "Lord Wang, we can't"
He raised his hand, shut up the people behind him, and looked at Chu Xi with great interest: "Are you really willing to follow this king?" ”
"I don't want to." Chu Xi's eyes were cold: "But I want to save Yao'er!" ”
When Zhao Xunyan heard this, he laughed: "Okay! Chu Xi, I really like your temperament more and more! With that, he let go of the hand on Yao'er's head, Yao'er saw this and immediately threw herself into Chu Xi's arms, and Zhao Xunyan quickly raised his hand to grab Chu Xi.
When Yao'er threw herself into Chu Xi's arms, Chu Xi turned around and took advantage of the situation to push her away, and when Zhao Xunyan grabbed her neck, she pulled out the hairpin on her head with her backhand and stabbed it into Zhao Xunyan's arm!
Zhao Xunyan was in pain, staring at Chu Ji with a gloomy eagle, but Zheng Yun took this opportunity to stab him with a sword, Zhao Xunyan had to retreat quickly in order to protect himself, and watched Chu Ji get into the carriage with people.
"Chase!"
"No need!" Zhao Xunyan smiled and looked at Zheng Yun in front of him coldly, as if looking at Chu Yun through him: "You remember your words today." If you promise to follow this king, this king will definitely make it happen! With that, he turned around and left with the people.
Zheng Yun was sure that the people had left, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Chu Xi: "Princess Shizi, let's go back quickly, I'll send someone to chase them!" ”
"No need, I can't catch up." Chu Ji looked at the courtyard on the side, this is where they meet, and now Zhao Xunyan dares to make a move here, which means that they have evacuated, and they must be ready to do both.
Yao'er threw herself into her arms and cried, she whispered comfort, and hugged her into the carriage: "You sent someone to tell the prince about today's incident, now the situation in Beijing is becoming more and more tense, if the matter of Peixian is not resolved, I am afraid that something will happen." ”
"Understood!" Zheng Yun immediately let people spread the news, and the crown prince Zhao Xuanyi also caught Zhao Yiheng's weakness.
Outside the Heart Nourishing Hall at night, Zhao Yiheng waited at the door for a whole day and refused to come out to see him, which made him start to panic. originally thought that the emperor could train him who was exiled back then, and specially took him back to Beijing, because he was optimistic about himself and planned to support himself to ascend to the throne, but he helped the prince again and again, and his return to Beijing became a joke.
Zhao Xuanyi came overnight, and when he saw him, he was about to break in.
"What are the Five Emperor Brothers going to do?"
"It turned out that the crown prince came, but I just saw that my father had not spread the news, thinking that his old man was weak, and now he was controlled by some people, so I wanted to go in and have a look." Zhao Yiheng sneered.
Zhao Xuanyi stared at him coldly: "Really? Then it's better to go in the palace for the five emperor brothers and take a look. After that, he was about to step away, Zhao Yiheng's face tightened, but Gonggong Gao came with news and asked him to go in with him.
The emperor had not slept late at night, and he was sleeping less and less now, and he was afraid that once he fell asleep, he would not be able to wake up.
"Coming," the emperor said slowly, hearing footsteps.
Both of them saluted, and Zhao Xuanyi stepped forward: "Father, thousands of dead soldiers were found in the suburbs of Beijing today, and I also asked my father to allow his sons to search the whole city!" ”
"Well, you just do it, you are the crown prince," the emperor said slowly.
"But" Zhao Xuanyi seemed to be a little difficult to speak, but remembering Chu Xi's previous words, his face sank, and said: "My father has not been in the early dynasty for a long time, and now the ministers of the court and the central government are talking about it, and the authority of the ministers can only deal with part of it."
The emperor laughed: "Look at my brain, I have forgotten about this, come here, I will draft a decree, from now on, the prince will supervise the country, and everything should be handed over to the prince to deal with." The emperor seemed very satisfied, and the crown prince began to know what he wanted, and he was not blindly being a virtuous king anymore, and he had to give up everything.
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi raised his hand and saluted, but Zhao Yiheng's face darkened, if the prince is in prison. Doesn't that mean that you completely control the government?
"Father, son" Zhao Yiheng was about to speak, and the emperor looked at him: "By the way, Yiheng, you are also a big boss, and you have not been married yet, how about it, what kind of girl do you want to marry?" ”
Zhao Yiheng frowned: "My father's health is not yet well, and my sons have no intention of having children." ”
"Really? I look at the daughter of the queen's uncle's family, I heard that she was also born as beautiful as a flower, and the queen planned to give someone to the prince to be the princess, I think it is the most suitable for you. The Emperor laughed.
Zhao Xuanyi was slightly stunned, is the emperor provoking the relationship between the five princes and the queen, the queen's uncle's family is just a small official in the south of the Yangtze River, although he has climbed the noble status of the queen, but because of his crimes in the early years, he has long been demoted, and he has not been mentioned for so many years.
Zhao Yiheng's face was not good-looking: "Father, son"
"What, don't like it?" The Emperor said again.
Zhao Yiheng gritted his teeth: "Erchen doesn't dare." ”
"That's good. This family is decided. The emperor waved his hand and was reluctant to say more, so Zhao Yiheng retreated with him.
Walking to the door, Zhao Yiheng smiled and said: "Congratulations to the prince, now that he has been imprisoned, this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are already within reach." ”
Zhao Xuanyi looked at him: "Thank you to the five emperor brothers, this palace still has to investigate the matter of the dead soldiers, the wife of the Yan family told the palace that the Yan family boss found a lot of news about the dead before he died, and about the outside of the city, the palace is afraid that it is busy during this time, if the five emperor brothers are fine, the palace will go back first." ”
Zhao Yiheng's face was pale, could it be that what his father said, the person who has been secretly staring at his dead soldiers, is the Yan family?
Seeing Zhao Yiheng's expression, Zhao Xuanyi was in a better mood and left directly.
Zhao Yiheng stared at his back, gritted his teeth and turned his head to find the emperor again, he knew that he was raising dead soldiers, if he didn't stop Zhao Xuanyi, he would definitely be found out.
"Fifth prince, the emperor has rested." He was stopped.
Zhao Yiheng didn't believe that the emperor had given up on himself, and said: "You go and talk to your father, just say that I have something urgent to see." ”
"If you have something, come back tomorrow, after the emperor rests, no one is allowed to disturb." The little eunuch said.
Zhao Yiheng was willing to leave so easily, and said, "Then you call Gonggong Gao!" ”
"Father-in-law Gao is waiting for the emperor!" The little eunuch said again.
Zhao Yiheng looked at the sky, there were still a few hours before dawn, and he could only go to find the queen after dawn, thinking like this, he knelt down directly in front of the door: "I must see the emperor, otherwise I won't leave!" ”
The eunuch looked at it, and did not speak, but stood firmly on one side.
Zhao Yiheng knelt in front of the door, the rain in the sky did not stop, falling on his face, cold to the bone, although he had already known that the royal family affection was thinner than paper, but he never thought that it would be so ruthless!
He Zhao Yiheng survived from exile with great difficulty, he must become a person above 10,000 people, and he must master these thousands of miles!
The wind is getting tighter, and there are few people who can sleep soundly.
When Zhao Xuanyi arrived at the palace gate, the leader of the Praetorian Guard talked back.
Zhao Xuanyi listened, looked back, and said, "Guard, wait for the palace to come over tomorrow!" ”
"Yes!"
Before Zhao Xuanyi got into the carriage, he glanced back at the deep palace, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he turned around and got into the carriage and left with a cold face without a trace of emotion.
Early the next morning, the gossip in the capital began to fly all over the sky again, and the matter of the dead could not be covered up, and it could not be covered up at all, but the various news that followed also made people unpredictable. True and false, who can tell the difference, after the panic of the people. That is, Tu Yile.
The weather at the beginning of June had begun to be a little stuffy, Chu Xi changed into a meager green gown, with a crescent white belt around her waist and a string of bells, and she walked with a crisp dingdong, as if she had subtracted the boredom of early summer.
After the prince knew about last night's incident, he took the time to come over, and Zheng Yun simply came forward, but this was not the time to ask the prince for marriage.
"Where's Yao'er?" Zhao Xuanyi asked after he came.
Chu Xi led him to sit down in the flower hall: "I'm still sleeping, I didn't dare to sleep last night." ”
Zhao Xuanyi saw that she was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "The Praetorian Guard sent news yesterday, the secret passage was found, and it led to the palace of Princess Huaiyang, and I plan to report this matter to my father in two days." ”
"Why?" Chu Xi was puzzled.
Zhao Xuanyi's face tightened slightly: "My father has let me supervise the country, and his body and bones should not last a few days." ”
Chu Xi frowned: "Once the emperor dies, Princess Huaiyang will not wait in the palace." ”
"I know, but if he stabs him directly in front of his father, he won't be able to do it, and his father has always been very good to her" Zhao Xuanyi opened his mouth and didn't continue: "If you say it, my father can't be partial even if he wants to, and when the time comes, once something happens to Huaiyang, or threatens my father with what happened back then, then my father's reputation will be ruined in my hands." "Falling in love with his half-sister and killing his sister's husband, if this matter spreads, it will only make the entire royal family a laughing stock in the world.
Chu Xi sensed his worries, but at this time, she felt even more that the emperor who was scheming and didn't care about family affection was more responsible.
"Did the prince ever think that if the emperor wanted to prevent this matter from being exposed, it would be impossible to keep his father until now, but it was his father who killed the horse back then." Chu Xi said, she already knew about this matter.
Zhao Xuanyi naturally knew that everyone was just tacit.
Zhao Xuanyi frowned, he had his own considerations, if the entire royal family became a laughing stock, then even if he ascended the throne, he would always be shrouded in this joke.
"There is no need to discuss this matter again, I have my own measure." Zhao Xuanyi stood up and looked at Chu Xi: "You don't have to worry about the funeral of the Chu family, let Li Xiao deal with it, you can stay in the Hou Mansion on the pretext of pregnancy." Then he walked away.
Chu Xi frowned and said, "Prince, there is still the matter of Pei County, we must find out as soon as possible, Zhao Xunyan is now unscrupulous, I am afraid that he is fully prepared." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Xunyan responded coldly, and then left.
As soon as he left, Zheng Yun naturally followed.
Yun Songyi came out of the side room and looked at Chu Xi: "Sister Xi'er, don't worry about these things, just take care of the child with peace of mind, the prince is so smart, it must be fine." ”
"I'm worried that something will happen in the capital" The more fierce Zhao Xunyan made trouble in the capital, the safer Lin Qingyu's side was, but he was always dragged back and couldn't come back. It's not a good thing either.
After lunch, Chu Ji planned to go to Jingzhao Yamen, so she fished Xu Gui out first, but before she could get out, she heard Aunt Fu running in a panic, saying that the guards of the Hou Mansion had stabbed Chu Dai'er.
Chu Ji sighed weakly, the people of the Hou Mansion would definitely not do it easily, unless it was Chu Dai'er who bumped into it herself.
"Is the man dead?" Chu Xi asked.
"Wounded, the sword went through the shoulder, and the blood flowed." Aunt Fu said hurriedly.
Chu Dai's expression was indifferent, didn't Chu Dai'er know her relationship with the emperor now? This matter did not come out unexpectedly, thinking about what else they wanted Chu Dai'er to do.
"Go to the front yard and have a look." After that, he walked away, and before leaving, he instructed that he must look good at the Jinyuan, and no one was allowed to come in without her instructions.
Yun Songyi followed, originally thinking that Chu Dai'er was at most here to make a bitter meat plan, and wanted to blackmail or frame it, but when she got to the door, she took a look, where was this bitter meat plan. It's clear that half a life is in it.
"Have you asked for a doctor?" Chu Xi asked.
"Please, on the way."
Chu Ji really didn't want Chu Dai'er to enter the Hou Mansion, but the situation was like this, she had to let her in: "Arrange for Chu Guiren to live in the wing"
"I'm going to live in Nishiki-in!" Chu Dai'er opened her mouth by herself, to stare at Chu Xi, how to live far away.
Chu Xiwan'er: "The courtyard is full, and the courtyard prepared for the nobles is the best in the Hou Mansion, and it will definitely not treat the nobles slowly!" Chu Xi said, so she didn't allow her to say more, and directly let people carry her in.
As for the guards who did it, looking at him gritting his teeth and kneeling on the ground, his face sank.
The people on the side didn't seem to intend to dwell on such trivial matters, and only said: "I believe that the princess will definitely deal with the slaves who dare to hurt the nobles!" ”
Seeing that this woman was about to go in, Chu Xi stopped the person slowly and said, "The servants of my Hou Mansion will never easily do anything with others, can this grandmother tell me the reason?" ”
"Why? It's not that he was blind and didn't recognize the nobleman, thinking it was an assassin and struck first."
"And what about you minions? Knowing that the master is in danger, why don't you stop it? The master was wounded. One of you is unharmed. Yun Songyi said angrily.
The grandmother was from the palace, and she glanced at her contemptuously: "How can a slave be better than a guard who knows kung fu?"
Before she finished her words, Yun Songyi directly pulled out the hairpin and stabbed at her, the grandmother was stunned, and took a few steps back, but Yun Songyi's hand stopped in mid-air: "I see that this reaction is very fast, I just took the hairpin's kung fu You have already withdrawn five steps away, if he draws his sword, you should have stopped in front of the master." ”
The grandmother's face was a little heavy, and she wanted to argue, but Chu Xi turned her head to look at the guard, her face was serious: "Why did you draw your sword?" ”
"Subordinates are willing to die"
Chu Ji held his forehead: "I asked you why you drew your sword, to be honest!" ”
"Because" The guard hesitated, looked at Chu Ji who insisted, and said: "Because last night, my subordinates saw a few assassins in black approaching, one of them was exactly the same as Chu Gui's life, and today Chu Guiren suddenly came over, and he was still carrying a sword, I didn't have time to think about it, so I did it." ”
The grandmother sneered: "The princess has nothing to say now." ”
"Are you happy?" Chu Xi turned her head to look at her.
The grandmother hurriedly restrained the smile on her face, she was also a grandmother in the palace, where was she given such a face by the outside, and only said with a stern face: "The slave maid is not happy, but the princess had better deal with it according to the truth, otherwise she will sue the emperor and dare to assassinate the nobleman in broad daylight."
"Little Fu'er, slap mouth!" Chu Xi said coldly.
When Xiao Fu'er heard this, she stepped forward and slapped her twice, although she didn't know why Chu Xi wanted to slap her mouth.
The grandmother was blinded, and glared angrily at Chu Xi: "What does the princess mean?" ”
"You know it well, you dare to threaten this concubine in broad daylight, how can this concubine not slap your mouth?" Chu Ji said.
Yun Songyi was stunned when she looked at the grandmother from the side, and she applauded in her heart!
This is the Hou Mansion, Chu Xi can say whatever she wants, the grandmother endured her anger and said: "Now the princess has a palm, this person"
"Come on, take all the people down for me and lock them up, and then deal with them when the prince comes back!" Chu Xi said coldly, this attendant did it in full view, and she had no other way for a while, so she could only drag it first.
The mother was stunned: "The princess, the human and material evidence is there, why do you have to wait for the prince to come back before you do it?" ”
Xiao Fu'er took a clever step forward and said, "Of course, our princess is pregnant, how can she kill someone?" Isn't that iniquity? ”
Mama's face darkened, so she had to watch someone take the attendant down, and she was about to go in to find Chu Dai'er, but Chu Xi smiled again: "What are you all doing in a daze?" This group of people, even the master can't protect it, and now they are still spilling here, and they don't take the nobles in their eyes if they think about it, so they all send me back to the palace and ask the queen to deal with it! ”
When the grandmother heard this, where could she survive in the hands of the queen, so she panicked: "Princess, you can't send us away, we are noble people"
"I don't do anything to you, it's the queen who wants to deal with you, if you feel wronged, go to the queen and say it." Chu Xi said, turned around and went back to the house, ignoring the grandmothers who were crying and shouting.
Before entering the mansion, Chu Ji thought about Chu Dai'er and said, "Housekeeper, I bother you to immediately arrange ten grandmothers with excellent kung fu to serve you carefully, and in addition, ask the imperial doctor to come over every day to ask for a pulse, and the consultation fee will be increased tenfold." ”
The housekeeper looked at Chu Xi's methodical appearance, nodded with a smile, turned his head and retreated.
"Sister Ji'er, is it really that the noble man of Chu stayed in the Shizi Mansion?" Yun Songyi said worriedly.
Chu Xi shook her head slightly, at such a time, she must not be allowed to stay here: "Go and inform Master Li." ”
Xiao Fu'er was puzzled: "Can you ask Master Li to drive away and please take away the Chu nobles?" ”
Chu Xi smiled faintly: "Yes, of course you can!" "Not only can you send Chu Dai'er away, but you can also give a surprise to the people hiding behind you!
