The four of them sat in Zhao Xunyan's study, looking at each other.

Everyone is a figure who can stir up the storm in the court, but now they are tied up and played, and they are angry and angry, but they are more embarrassed.

After the imperial doctor came, Chu Bingsong hurriedly went back, and there were only three people left, the eldest prince Zhao You, the eighth prince Zhao Xuanyi and the free king Zhao Xunyan.

In the end, it was the eldest prince who couldn't hold his breath first: "Old eight, don't you want to explain why you sent someone to my Qingfeng Tower?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi looked indifferent: "I haven't sent anyone to go, maybe someone is impersonating, is it too reckless for the eldest brother to identify me like this?" ”

"Impostor?" The eldest prince Zhao You sneered: "I think you deliberately shirked it, I said eighth, when did you become so unruly?" ”

Zhao Xuanyi didn't bother to argue with him, now it is clear that someone has calculated them, but it is indeed as the eldest prince thinks, it cannot be ruled out that this calculating person is between the four of them.

Zhao Xuanyi left, and Zhao Youcai snorted: "I am the concubine, he was born to a concubine, and ordinary people call him a concubine, he is a concubine." ”

Zhao Xunyan smiled lightly, with a dark expression on his face; "The eldest prince, let's go back and check first, maybe the troublemaker is in your Qingfeng Building."

Zhao You turned his head to look at him: "Uncle Huang, now that Chu Bingsong's leg is broken, this beam is finished, is it possible to break with the eldest prince in the Prime Minister's Mansion and then go to the eighth child?" ”

Zhao Xunyan put down the teacup, twisted a few more pieces of new tea and put it in, and watched the tea swirl and sink to the bottom before saying, "Didn't you plan to marry the eldest lady of the Chu family before?" ”

Zhao You's face trembled, thinking of Chu Xi, he shook his head slightly: "Although she is a beautiful woman, I heard that Chu Bingsong doesn't like this daughter at all, she broke with her grandfather's family again, I married her as a side concubine, Chu Bingsong must think that I look down on him, but if I marry her as a concubine, I am unwilling, and the queen mother will not agree." ”

Zhao Xunyan smiled: "Then change it, how about the fourth lady of Chu Mansion?" Cai mentioned as a concubine, although her mother's family has no support, but she is very liked by the old lady of Chu Mansion, and she is gentle and lovely, being a side concubine is not an insult to her identity, Chu Bingsong must have no opinion. ”

"Good idea." Zhao You's eyes lit up: "I'll go and tell the queen mother." With that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Xunyan looked at his bloated figure, and the corners of his mouth rose sarcastically: "Idiot." After that, I thought of the purple figure again, and the eyes in her eyes that day in Yan Mansion seemed to be full of hatred, could it be that she had something to do with herself? And since she returned to the Chu Mansion, the affairs of the Chu family have not been interrupted.

"Someone."

"Lord Wang." Someone immediately came up to salute, and Zhao Xunyan's slender fingers lightly tapped on the table: "Let someone go and check the eldest lady of Chu Mansion." "If you really find out something, it will be interesting.

Chu Xi was in the mansion at the moment, and this matter was too smooth, which made her feel a little uneasy in her heart.

"Is the second miss of the Qin family awake?" Chu Xi asked.

Lu Tan shook his head slightly: "I haven't woken up yet, Dingguo Gong is about to invite all the imperial doctors home." ”

Chu Xi thought lightly, several days have passed, the garrison of the Qin Mansion will definitely be relaxed, and the Duke of Dingguo is not a loving father, so he will not put more thoughts on Qin Fei, but the garrison of the Qin Mansion, Lu Tan still can't get in, she still has to find a way to deliver a letter to the Bai family.

Just thinking about it, Yanxue sent a letter to her, saying that she was going to track down Ning's mother's whereabouts, but Ning's mother seemed to have evaporated from the world since she left the house, and even her gambler son disappeared.

Chu Xi raised his hand to make people retreat, but Lu Tan approached mysteriously: "Could it be that there are still some masters hidden in our house?" ”

"Not a master." Chu Xi took the book on the side, but she couldn't read a word, in the dark of this mansion. There is also a black hand manipulating, if she is not careful, I am afraid that she will become a chess piece in her hand.

Outside the house, the wind and snow whimpered all night, and the next morning, Yahuan came to report that Concubine Jiang from the Eighth Prince's Mansion had come.

Chu Xi has a headache, can't this Eight Princes' Mansion be shaken off?

Although she had a headache, the old lady was very happy and arranged for Jiang's mother to come over to serve her early.

Chu Xi waited at the door, and it didn't take long to see Concubine Jiang's carriage.

Concubine Jiang's maiden name is Jiang Fan, and she is the niece of the noble concubine, two years younger than the eighth prince.

Getting off the carriage, Jiang Fan saw Chu Xi standing at the door, wearing a white dress, her expression was indifferent, and her eyes were light, but she was mixed with indifferent charm, such a contradictory combination gave her a temperament that ordinary people did not have.

also looked at Chu Xi like this, as well as the man who followed behind Jiang Fan, the grandson of the Jiang family, named Jiang Rui, but he was the same as Chu Qitai. has done a lot of pickled things, and he is the most unproductive grandson of the Jiang family, but he is the youngest and the youngest, and he is most liked by the old lady of the Jiang family, so he has done a lot of hurtful things and has been covered up, and in his previous life, he was also one of the people who dragged the back of the eighth prince. Not to mention the scheming enemies like King Xiaoyao, even these people who are dragging their feet, and the Eighth Prince will not be able to seize the throne.

Chu Ji was not much surprised when he saw Jiang Rui, he should have come to see Chu Qitai.

"Chu Xi has seen the side concubine."

Jiang Fan stepped forward and helped her up with a smile: "I've waited for a long time, but it's cold." After that, he turned his head and asked Mama to stuff her hand warmer into Chu Xi's arms: "I came here this time, mainly to see you, and it happened that Brother Rui was going to come to see Master Chu, so I came over together." Jiang Fanxian explained.

Chu Xi lowered her eyebrows and saluted, Jiang Rui stepped forward and was about to help Chu Xi with his own hands, but Lu Ya stepped forward and stopped: "I've seen Jiang Gongzi." ”

Jiang Rui frowned, glanced at the green sprouts dissatisfied, and withdrew his hand: "Miss Chu is polite." Chu Xi retreated to one side and didn't speak, and when Jiang's mother saw this, she stepped forward: "The old slave is from the old lady's house, and this side will lead the son to see the young master." After that, he looked at Chu Xi: "The eldest lady is tired of leading the side concubine to the old lady's house." ”

Chu Ji bowed her head and stepped forward: "Niangniang, please." ”

Jiang Fan smiled and followed Chu Xi to Ronghua Courtyard.

Jiang Rui looked at Chu Xi's slender back and touched his chin: "How old is your eldest girl?" ”

Mother Jiang frowned, how could a foreign man directly ask the age of the young lady who was not out of the pavilion: "Childe, please here." Mother Jiang's expression was a little colder, the eldest prince made some such fox friends and dog friends, and his usual habits must be the same.

Jiang Rui didn't get angry with Jiang's mother, and watched Chu Ji disappear around the corner before smiling and walking towards Chu Qitai's courtyard.

Before he arrived at Chu Qitai's room, Jiang Rui asked, "Qitai, you have such a good-looking sister hidden at home, why didn't you bring it out earlier?" ”

Chu Qitai just woke up, and when he saw that it was Jiang Rui, his gloomy face improved: "It's just a shameless scumbag, if you like it, give it to you." ”

"Do you know who I'm talking about?" Jiang Rui said with a smile.

"Is Jiang Gongzi talking about a big sister?" Chu Zhenzhen happened to be on the side and said lightly.

Jiang Rui looked at Chu Zhenzhen, who was dressed in white and shengxue, and couldn't take his eyes off: "And your second sister, you are really a fairy-like person." ”

Chu Zhenzhen's face flushed slightly: "Thank you Jiang Gongzi for your praise." ”

Jiang Rui smiled, looking at Chu Zhenzhen's exposed white neck, and couldn't help but look down, her delicate body was wrapped under the plain white dress, although it was not as good as those mature bodies, but her pure temperament was even more itchy. Looking up again, Yin Hong's lips were slightly open. Spitting fragrant, a pair of eyes like autumn water are intoxicating: "This is much better than your big sister, she looks like an ice cube." ”

Chu Zhenzhen was overjoyed in her heart, but she pretended to be shy on her face: "Jiang Gongzi can't talk nonsense, where is Zhen Zhen compared to a big sister, not to mention, I had such a thing before" Chu Zhenzhen said with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Rui's eyes tightened, and he almost hugged her into his arms: "How can you blame you for that, a discerning person can know at a glance that someone is deliberately trying to frame you." ”

Chu Qitai coughed twice, and glanced at Jiang Rui sarcastically: "Zhenzhen, don't think about it, that's going to marry King Xiaoyao." ”

Jiang Rui's eyes darkened, but he laughed: "I just pity Jiaohua, what do you think." ”

Chu Zhenzhen knew that Concubine Jiang was also here, so she didn't stay long.

After she left, Jiang Rui looked at Chu Qitai's broken leg: "Is it really someone from Qingfeng Building who did it?" ”

Chu Qitai snorted: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will clean it up, and when I catch him, I will peel him alive!" ”

Jiang Rui smiled and didn't say anything, only asked, "Has your eldest sister ever been married?" "Such a cold beauty, with a different taste from Chu Zhenzhen, is interesting.

Chu Qitai glanced at him, saw that he was really moved, and sneered: "You can take it back and be a concubine." If you want to carry a sedan chair and marry back as a wife, don't say that I am not enough brothers. ”

"To be a concubine? Lord Chu is afraid that he will not agree. Jiang Rui sat down next to him and said.

Chu Qitai snorted disdainfully: "There is an old saying that there is a training, go as a wife, run as a concubine, and use me to teach this point?" ”

"Then Brother Chu is willing to help me?"

Chu Qitai looked at him and smiled: "Naturally." ”

After Chu Fan took Jiang Fan to Ronghua Courtyard, Jiang Fan said that he wanted to talk to Chu Xi, and the two came out.

"I heard that there is a lake near your yard, and there are some precious flowers and plants in it, let's go over and have a look." Jiang Fandao.

Chu Ji bowed her head and led her carefully through the verandah to the lake near the Zhujin Pavilion.

This lake is not big, but it is very deep, and it is rumored that many people have died in it, and if you go inside, you can fish a lot of hair hairpins.

Jiang Fan walked on the plank road by the lake, and the grandmother on the side was holding an umbrella beside him.

"What I told you before, didn't you really think about it?" Jiang Fan finally asked.

Chu Xi looked into the distance, full of desolate and pale colors, and smiled lightly: "Chu Xi doesn't have this blessing." ”

"Do you feel unblessed, or do you not want it?" Jiang Fan asked with a smile.

Chu Xi looked at her sideways, and the smile on her face hid a little bitterness: "The side concubine Niangniang has only one person to take care of the Eighth Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner, why bother with one more person?" ”

Jiang Fan's throat choked slightly, he laughed out loud, and the steps on his bun also trembled, laughing, and his tone suddenly became a little bleak: "The position of the concubine cannot be empty all the time, although the eighth master has always refused to accept a concubine on the grounds that he is busy with official business, but how can the concubine Niangniang allow it, even if I am now" Jiang Fan lowered his eyes, touched his lower abdomen lovingly, Chu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and listened to Jiang Fan: "Who knows if it is a little prince, and even if it is, it will definitely not be allowed to be born before the concubine, and the child in front is already an exception." ”

Chu Xi was puzzled, could this be the reason why she had to enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion by herself? Do you feel weak?

The eighth prince is the one who will ascend to the high position in the future, and the bloody wind and rain in the harem are dozens of times more powerful than the back house, and she has no intention or want to participate at all.

"Hi-er."

"Huh?"

Jiang Fan waved away the people behind him and looked at Chu Xi with a smile: "Do you know, every night, the Eighth Prince calls your name in my ear."

Chu Xi was stunned, looking at the wetness in Jiang Fan's eyes with a wry smile, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Niangniang"

Before Chu Xi's words were finished, Jiang Fan suddenly flipped back, and the whole person was about to be planted in the lake. The hearts of the people who followed behind all mentioned their throats, Chu Xi gritted his teeth slightly, grabbed Jiang Fan's hand, and pushed her back, but Jiang Fan suddenly used force and threw Chu Xi directly into the lake.

"I'm sorry" Jiang Fan leaned on the railing and whispered, her lips were pale, she didn't want to do this, but the Eighth Emperor called her name in her ear every night, which had already made her crazy with jealousy.

Jiang Fan's people hurriedly came around: "Concubine Fang, are you okay?" ”

Jiang Fan seemed to be frightened: "Quick, save Miss Chu." ”

The snow is still heavy, and the lake has formed a layer of ice, and now the lake can directly freeze people to death, not to mention this situation.

Green Sprout was so frightened that she cried directly, and hurriedly asked people to go into the water to save people, but no one knew how to water, and they were all sent to death, and Green Sandalwood was also a landlubber.

Seeing that no one was willing to go down, Green Bud raised his feet and was about to jump down, but was pulled by Green Sandalwood: "If you go down, you will be sent to death, and maybe you will drag Miss down!" ”

"Then what to do, do you want to watch the young lady drown!" Green Sprout wiped away her tears, Chunzhi had already hurried to call the guards in the house, but Chu Xi's Zhujin Courtyard was in the innermost part of the backyard, even if the guards came, Chu Xi was afraid that he would have frozen to death.

Lu Tan frowned, turned his head and went to Zhujin Courtyard to get a bundle of nylon rope, tied it to the shore, and tied the other end of the rope to his waist: "When I pull the rope, you will pull me up." ”

Lu Ya nodded, Lu Tan looked at the cold and deep lake, gritted his teeth, and jumped in.

Jiang Fan sat on the side and looked at the grandmother who was waiting closely, and the grandmother understood, and walked to the green sprouts: "Girl, I'll guard it." ”

"No, I'm going to keep it on my own." Green Sprout said firmly, Xiao Fu'er also rushed over, and choked up: "Mama, we will guard it ourselves." "The thought that such a good master is likely to die like this makes me feel sad in my heart.

The grandmother looked at Jiang Fan in embarrassment, Jiang Fan didn't say anything, and stared at the lake lightly.

Chu Zhenzhen heard the sound and looked frightened: "I heard that none of the people who fell into this lake could live." ”

Green Bud bit her lip and didn't speak, Ying'er walked to Green Bud's side: "Sister Green Bud, how did the eldest lady fall in?" Ying'er said. While looking at the nylon rope that fell into the lake that Green Bud was staring at, his eyes moved slightly, and he took out a knife from his sleeve and quietly began to cut the rope.

Jiang Fan saw her small movements, and the Yahuan of the Eighth Prince's Mansion who came with him was about to remind her, but Jiang Fan raised his hand slightly, and when the Yahuan saw this, she lowered her head again and closed her mouth.

Chu Zhenzhen was originally worried, but when she saw Jiang Fan like this, she stepped forward more and more boldly: "Little Fu'er, green sprouts, you go and inform the old lady." ”

"But" Xiao Fu'er looked at the green shoots, but saw Chu Zhenzhen and said, "Go, here I am." ”

Xiao Fu'er couldn't, so she had to leave with steps, but the green sprouts seemed to be iron-hearted, staring at the silent lake: "No, the slave maid can't see the young lady come out today, and the slave won't leave even if she dies!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen frowned, and wanted to say something, but when she saw that the nylon rope began to move, the green sprouts were overjoyed, and she hurriedly recruited the two mothers-in-law from the Zhujin Pavilion to help pull it.

Chu Zhenzhen glanced at Ying'er, and Ying'er understood. Taking advantage of the gap between pulling the rope and increasing the strength of his subordinates, Lu Tan and Chu Xi came out with him, and the rope broke.

Chu Xi hugged the green sandalwood that had been choked, and looked at Chu Zhenzhen who was standing on the shore, her eyes were slightly ruthless.

Chu Zhenzhen was frightened by her eyes, and her heart was ruthless, and she said, "Don't go down to save the eldest lady!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gave an order, and the two mothers-in-law who knew how to water behind her jumped down, but looking at Chu Zhen, her eyes were full of killing intent.

Chu Xi is almost out of strength now, she was pushed into the lake, she lost consciousness at the moment she was wrapped in a cold feeling, and the fear of her previous life all hit her and seemed to pull her into the black hole of memory, but fortunately, Lu Tan came in time, but Lu Tan was a landlubber, and she choked herself when she jumped down, but fortunately, she was still smart and tied a rope to herself, but now she can float up, all by this rope, but she has almost used all her strength.

The mothers-in-law swam over, looked at Chu Xi, who was very pale, and said with a smile: "Miss." Slaves and maidservants help you up. After that, he pressed Chu Xi into the lake.

Chu Xi swept around the shore and saw that only the green sprouts were there, so she pushed her mother-in-law away with great effort, and struggled to look at the green sprouts: "Quick, find the side concubine"

Since Jiang Fan chose to use this trick, he naturally would not watch himself being killed.

Green Sprout's frightened feet were soft, and when he turned his head, he knelt in front of Jiang Fan and kowtowed: "Concubine Niangniang, please save my young lady." ”

Mama frowned, Jiang Fan also struggled, looking at Chu Xi, who was almost drowned in the water, her hand gently touched her lower abdomen, and lowered her eyes: "Mama"

"Don't go down and save people!" Mama gave an order, and three or four attendants jumped out of the shadows, and pulled Chu Xi out of the lake before entering the water, and Lu Tan was naturally rescued, as for the two mothers-in-law, they wanted to swim up, but they felt a little dizzy in their heads, and they had no strength to shout for help. Chu Zhenzhen didn't look at the two of them at all, so they could only stare and gradually sank.

Chu Xi glanced at the purple bracelet on her wrist and breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Tan also came to her senses and spit out a lot of water.

Chu Ji staggered to his feet. Looking at Jiang Fan, who was frightened in front of him, he stepped forward and saluted gratefully: "Thank you Concubine for saving me." ”

"If I hadn't been careful, I wouldn't have fallen into the water, I'er, you won't blame me." Jiang Fan's voice was full of anticipation.

Chu Ji looked at her fixedly: "I shouldn't have brought the side concubine to such a place, which made the side concubine frightened, but fortunately, the child is fine, otherwise Chu Ji would be to blame for his death." ”

Jiang Fan looked at Chu Xi's pale face without a trace of blood, and couldn't see her emotions, didn't she really find out? Also, she is just a deep boudoir girl who is less than fourteen years old, and her biological mother is not there, how can she know so many twists and turns.

When the old lady heard the news, she hurried over, and when she saw that Jiang Fan was just frightened, she breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chu Xi, who was wet, and frowned slightly: "You are usually the most stable, how could such a thing happen!" The old lady seemed to be very angry.

Lu Ya was unwilling to hear it, everyone saw it, it was obvious that Concubine Jiang was about to fall into the lake accidentally, Miss was like this because she saved her, why did the old lady scold Miss without asking!

Lu Ya took a step forward, but Chu Xi said first: "Ji'er knows her mistake, and she is willing to invite herself to Hanshan Temple outside the city to pray for her family and eat for three months, and she also asks her grandmother to agree." ”

Jiang Fan raised his eyes to look at Chu Xi, who was calm, and his palms clenched slightly: "You can't blame Miss Chu for this matter, she fell into the water to save me." ”

After hearing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, for the sake of the side concubine, you can go to Hanshan Temple to eat fast for a month." ”

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and lowered her eyes. The old lady glanced at Chu Zhenzhen who was following behind with dissatisfaction, she came over just to make some small movements: "Zhenzhen also went over and ate fasting for a month." ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to refute, so she had to be.

"If something like this happens today, the old lady shouldn't blame herself too much, but it's not too early, so I won't stay longer." Jiang Fan got up and said.

The old lady hurriedly bowed to see each other, Jiang Fan glanced back at Chu Xi, whose face had not changed, his heart was complicated, and he turned his head and left with someone.

After Jiang Fan left, the old lady turned his head to look at Chu Xi: "You clean up and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Chu Zhen should be, the old lady just walked away, and Chu Zhenzhen quickly followed: "Grandmother." Hanshan Temple is bitter"

"You and your brother are too disagreeable, you must go this time!" The old lady didn't leave any emotion, and directly held Jiang's mother's hand and left.

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, now in Beijing is the time when there are many flowers and poems, and on days like this, she will follow Qin Xue to various houses, get to know the young ladies and sons of each family, and then win the jackpot and get a piece of praise, and now she actually goes to the Hanshan Temple where birds don't

"Miss, if we don't go to Madame's place, maybe there is a way." Ying'er said cautiously; "There are also the two mothers-in-law who fell into the water today, they are all born to the family, and their families are waiting in the house, I am afraid that they will have to be arranged"

"What's wrong with the family's children, it's not the same, they are all lowly slaves, they die when they die, and they died because they saved their big sister, what does it matter to me, if you want to explain, you have to go to the Jin Pavilion." Chu Zhenzhen was upset, and accidentally exposed her true nature in front of everyone. Seeing everyone's surprised appearance, Chu Zhenzhen became more and more irritable, and walked directly to Chu Qitai's courtyard.

Chu Ji waited for these people to leave, and then shook for a moment. Directly fell to the ground, from the water to now, she has used up the last trace of strength.

just fainted, and she fell into the nightmare of her previous life again, Chu Zhenzhen, King Xiaoyao, Chu Bingsong and Chu's family were all standing beside her, but she was still the person who had no limbs and was thrown into a broken wooden basin, and could only watch them cut off her mother's flesh with a knife, cut off her limbs alive, gouged out her eyes, and cut off her tongue; The young Fu'er ran towards her crying, but was pressed directly under her by the obscene old eunuch; Green Sprouts were beaten to the point of incompleteness, and the Yang family, who had been loyal and famous in the past, were all labeled as rebels and dragged to the guillotine. The viciousness and ruthlessness of the Chu family, the indifference and sarcasm of the King of Freedom, and the despair of her own relatives, all of them are like thousands of sharp arrows, passing through her heart!

Chu Xi woke up, it was already the second half of the night, everyone had already rested, she tried to get up, but her head was like a thousand pounds, and as soon as she moved her brain, it seemed to be spinning, which made her extremely uncomfortable: "Green sprouts, green sandalwood" Chu Xi opened her mouth to call the two. But although the two of them stayed by the bedside, they slept very dead, and even the maid ring outside did not move at all.

Chu Xi sniffed the incense in the air that was different from usual, her eyes instantly sharpened, she touched her wrist, and when she saw that the bracelet was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe the surroundings vigilantly.

Not long after, a sneaky figure pushed open the window.

The black shadow looked at the figure in the light gauze curtain not far away, and his face was a little obscene: "Even if you are the eldest lady of the Chu family, you don't want to accept / huan under me now." ”

Chu Xi listened to this familiar figure, and her body trembled with anger, this bastard must have been brought in by Chu Zhenzhen and Chu Qitai, but what to do now, can you wait until the future to kill him!

Chu Xi gritted her teeth and tried hard to trigger the mechanism on her wrist, but because of the wind chill and the incense, she couldn't move at all.

Jiang Rui stepped forward and opened the curtain, and when he saw Chu Xi actually opening her eyes, he was startled at first, and then saw that she couldn't move at all, so he laughed: "Originally, I was worried that you would not move like a dead man, but now it's okay." Jiang Rui said, his hand had already lifted the quilt on Chu Xi's body, and looking at Chu Xi, who was dressed in a snow-white shirt, her beautiful figure had clearly appeared in front of him.

Jiang Rui was about to drool when he saw it: "I can't imagine that Miss Chu's body has been so cute, come, don't be afraid, I will be very gentle"

"If you don't want to die, get out of here now." Chu Xi could only make a faint sound, because the room was quiet, Jiang Rui could hear it clearly, but he came to Chu Xi, looked at her fair skin, took a sharp breath, and then smiled intoxicatedly: "I want to die, I want to die happily, come on, Miss Chu, come and let me die"

Before Jiang Rui's hand on Chu Xi's chest tore off his clothes, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes widened, and he fell straight forward, and before he could fall on Chu Xi, he was grabbed by someone.

Chu Xi looked at the comer. Frowning slightly, Lin Qingyu only thought that she was disgusted with herself, so she turned her head and threw Jiang Rui out, but she was a little afraid in her heart, if he didn't happen to pass by, she didn't know what would have happened.

"Master, time is running out." Su Su followed to the side.

Lin Qingyu glanced at the room, Su Su had already fed two pills in the mouth of the green sandalwood green buds, after making sure that there was no danger, Lin Qingyu didn't say a word, and disappeared into the night, Su Su also hurriedly followed, and threw Jiang Rui into Chu Zhenzhen's courtyard.

In the face of such a cold Lin Qingyu, Chu Xi couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he had repeatedly saved himself three times, but he couldn't guess what he wanted at all, from following him with a dead face in the past to ignoring the meeting now, Chu Xi frowned. Moreover, didn't he say that An Pinghou was about to marry him, and it was right that he would not come to die again.

The green sandalwood green buds woke up slowly, saw Chu Xi with her eyes open, rubbed her eyes in surprise, and said happily after confirmation; "Miss. You're awake! ”

Chu Xi came back to her senses, glanced at the two of them, and bowed slightly: "Bring some water and extinguish the incense in the furnace." ”

"Incense?" The green shoots were puzzled, usually they used tasteless mosquito repellent coils, but now there was a strong fragrance in the room.

"How did the window open?" Lu Tan looked at the open window, the cold wind mixed with the snow blew in, and hurriedly stepped forward to close it, but was stopped by Chu Xi: "Don't turn it off, let the wind blow away the drugs in the house first." ”

"Drugged?" Green Sprout covered her mouth: "How could it be" When she went to the outside to take a look, the mother-in-law and maids who were guarding it were really sleeping soundly.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Lu Ya's eyes were full of tears, how could she go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss still didn't have a peaceful life.

Chu Xi's expression was faint: "Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Xiao Fu'er to find out who sent this incense." ”

Green Sprout's heartbeat was extremely fast, but Chu Xi didn't say much, just sat on the bed, looking at the wind and snow outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chu Xi secretly sorted out today's events, the child in Jiang Fan's belly had a miscarriage in her previous life, so she couldn't keep the child without an accident, but because of her miscarriage, the eldest prince caught the woman who had a miscarriage in front of the Eighth Prince's Mansion before. It was another blow to the eighth prince, and the emperor was very unhappy because of this, and almost punished him. Therefore, if you want the Eighth Prince to move forward step by step, the child in Concubine Jiang's belly must not have a miscarriage.

When Chu Xi got this result, she was unspeakably depressed, she wanted to kill herself, but she still had to help her keep the child.

Chu Xi exhaled softly, thinking of Lin Qingyu's indifferent eyes and hurried appearance, his face was slightly tight, could it be that he was already involved? So what happened to him in such a hurry?

Chu Ji couldn't guess Lin Qingyu, and it wasn't until dawn that the brain that kept thinking stopped.

Chu Zhenzhen was in the courtyard, looking at Jiang Rui, who had been frozen for most of the night, and his face was bruised, and after making sure that he was still breathing, he hurriedly asked someone to quietly send him out of the house.

"Is this idiot in the wrong place?" Chu Zhenzhen returned to the room and said angrily.

Ying'er stood on one side and didn't dare to speak, Chu Zhenzhen thought of a few clever and loyal girls around Chu Xi, and glared at her with annoyance: "What are you doing here, it's like a piece of wood, don't go and pack your things and prepare to go to Hanshan Temple." ”

The old lady gave the order. Qin Xue had no choice, not to mention that her current mind was on Chu Qitai.

Ying'er shrunk her neck and hurriedly responded, and Chu Zhenzhen clenched her fists resentfully: "Chu Zhen, I won't let you go!" ”

In the Pavilion of Chasing Jin, Chu Ji looked at Chunzhi: "During this time, it is troublesome for Sister Chunzhi to go to Aunt Yanxue more." "She explained everything to Yanxue very clearly, and now let the steady spring branch guard, there should be no accident.

Chunzhi obviously didn't expect Chu Ji to leave her first-class girl, pursed her lips slightly, and bowed her head in response.

Chu Xi simply packed up her salute, but took two more boxes of books and prepared to set off.

In addition to Aunt Yanxue and Brother Hong, Li Xiao actually came, and saw Chu Xi's face that had not fully recovered, full of distress.

In the flower hall, Aunt Yanxue was there, and Chu Xi did not shy away from it, so she led him to sit down.

"Big sister, are you okay?" Li Xiao felt regretful after asking, how could he say such an idiot.

Looking at Li Xiao, who was annoyed, Chu Xi's expression was as usual: "It's much better." ”

"I wanted to come over yesterday, but I heard the girls say that you are unconscious, so you came here today, big sister is not strange." When Li Xiao said this, the roots of her ears were already red, and she didn't know where to put her eyes, so she stared straight at the crackling stove, the outside of the charcoal stove was carved, and the corners of Li Xiao's lips were a little smiling, even the charcoal stove she used was so good-looking.

Chu Xi looked at him and chuckled: "No, my cousin's mind is understood." ”

"Understood?" Li Xiao raised her head suddenly, and found that Chu Xi didn't mean what she thought, so she lowered her head again, not daring to look at her clear eyes: "It's good to understand, it's good to understand." ”

Yanxue sat on one side, where could she not see Li Xiao's thoughts, pursed her lips and smiled on the side.

Li Xiao hurriedly brought something up: "This is some wind and cold medicine I found yesterday, if the eldest sister doesn't dislike it, bring it." ”

Chu Xi got up and thanked him, glanced at Yanxue who was smiling on the side, Yanxue understood, got up and said, "Miss, the hour is not early, so I won't stay longer." ”

"Auntie, go slowly." Chu Xiao said with a smile, Li Xiao hesitated, although she was reluctant, she had to get up and say goodbye.

When he went out, he looked back at the elegant courtyard and the three words 'Chasing Jin Pavilion' hanging at the gate of the courtyard, and secretly gritted his teeth, he would definitely work hard to gain fame.

Chu Xi sent the people away, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, the green sprouts had already put away all the things, looked at the wind and cold medicine, and asked, "Miss, should we bring this?" ”

"No, no, I have good pills here, and pills that can not be afraid of drugs, I know that Miss is afraid of bitterness, and they are all specially wrapped in honey." Lu Tan said while packing up his things, and after finding that the atmosphere in the room had become strangely quiet, he twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed: "I went out early in the morning to buy it, and I bought it in the pharmacy outside the city." ”

Green Sprouts stared at her: "I've been with you all morning, when did you go to buy it?" ”

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi nervously, and before she could finish her stammering words, Bai Xue came over: "Miss, the carriage and horse that the old lady gave you are ready." ”

Chu Xi glanced at the green sandalwood lightly, bowed her head towards Bai Xue, and stepped out.

Green Sandalwood breathed a long sigh of relief, and Green Bud stepped forward: "Green Sandalwood, what do you want to do." ”

Lu Tan smiled, took out a small bottle and handed it to Lu Ya: "You taste it, hawthorn pills, stomach digestion and delicious." With that, he turned his head and went out with his baggage.

Green Sprout naturally guessed where the medicine came from, shook his head with a helpless smile, and turned his head to follow.

The old lady specially arranged two carriages, Chu Zhen sat in the front one or two, and Chu Zhenzhen sat in the back.

Qin Xue didn't come to send it, Chu Qitai's illness suddenly deteriorated last night, and she didn't have the heart to care about Chu Zhenzhen's going up the mountain at all, but Chu Dai'er and Chu Xiuxiu came and sent some small items to both of them.

Chu Xi looked at Chu Xiuxiu and actually followed Chu Dai'er firmly, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, this is a month, it is enough for her Chu Dai'er to replace Chu Zhenzhen, how boring it has been in the dark.

Chu Zhen got into the carriage and didn't look outside much, Chu Zhenzhen didn't wait for the others to come over, so she had to pull down the curtain sullenly.

Chu Xiuxiu watched everyone leave, and then laughed: "Finally, I don't have to follow the second sister all day, she is really annoying and stupid." ”

Chu Dai'er pursed her lips and chuckled: "Third sister, don't let the second sister hear it, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat." ”

"I'm not afraid." Chu Xiuxiu looked at Chu Dai'er flatteringly: "Fourth sister is so smart, you will definitely help me if there is something, right?" ”

Chu Dai'er's eyes were slightly dark: "My own sisters, of course, you want to be kind, if the third sister is misunderstood by the second sister, I will help you." ”

Chu Xiuxiu only thought she agreed, and pulled her arm: "Let's go, go and sit in my courtyard, my aunt made something delicious." ”

Seeing Chu Xiuxiu holding her hand, Chu Dai'er had a trace of disgust in her eyes, but she hid it well: "Okay." ”

After that, the two left, and Chu Bingsong, who was listening to their conversation, came out of the corner and frowned slightly: "I never thought that the fourth girl is a kind-hearted and smart, but the grandfather's family has no support, if you can, it is also excellent to send her to the palace of the emperor, and then listen to her mother to send the big girl to the palace of the eighth prince, so that even if the eighth prince is defeated in the future, it will only be a loss of a girl without the support of the grandfather, and it will be broken." ”

"The master is thoughtful." Bystanders.

Chu Bingsong sneered: "You go and keep an eye on the movements of the Great Prince's Mansion and the Eighth Prince's Mansion first, this time Tai'er's broken leg was all caused by his Qingfeng Tower, although King Xiaoyao thinks that someone designed the four of us to be included, but looking at the government and the opposition." Who has the ability to do it perfectly? "The more Chu Bingsong thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, as soon as the people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion came yesterday, Chu Qitai's injury worsened at night, this was either the Eighth Prince's hand, or the eldest prince wanted to use Tai'er to completely cut off his relationship with the Eighth Prince's Mansion! If this is the case, dare to hurt his only son-in-law like this, he Chu Bingsong is not a soft persimmon!

On the old lady's side, Jiang's mother replied that Chu Xi and the others had left, and the old lady leaned on the warm cushion behind her in a muffled voice.

"These children are not worried." The old lady said.

Mother Jiang stepped forward with ginger tea: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, old lady, you can relax and enjoy the blessings." ”

"I do." The old lady put aside the tea that had just arrived: "Tai'er is not angry, the big girl I thought was a stable one, but her temperament is too eye-catching, this is not a good thing, the second girl I used to be innocent and cute, but now it seems to be stupid, the third girl needless to say, now only the fourth girl makes me comfortable, sensible and introverted, but unfortunately the background is worse." ”

"Fourth Miss is indeed a well-behaved person." Mother Jiang followed the old lady's words.

The old lady sighed: "Originally, I planned to talk to Mrs. Yun and let her recognize the fourth girl as her granddaughter, so that she can be regarded as having a foreign family to rely on." But after that incident, I can't even think about it, and the previous sisters have long been estranged, so I have to think about it. ”

"The old lady bothered." Jiang's mother said.

The old lady sighed and beckoned to her: "I'm also tired, help me go to the inner room to rest." ”

Mother Chu hurriedly answered, and helped the old lady into the inner room with Bai Xue.

Chuncao, who had been waiting on the side, saw that everyone had left, so she took her cloak, took a flower umbrella, and walked quickly to Chu Dai'er's yard.

The carriage traveled bumpily for a long time before it reached the foot of Hanshan Temple, Chu Xi's endurance and patience were quite good, but he was already turned pale when he came down. Chu Zhenzhen is different, now her horse doesn't know what's wrong, it's very upside down, this way, she vomited all her breakfast, and now she has a blue face when she gets out of the carriage, and a pair of big eyes look at people directly, which is extremely scary.

"Second sister, do you want to stay at the foot of the mountain for one night or climb the mountain with me?" Chu Xi walked over and said.

"Climbing a mountain?" Chu Zhenzhen looked at her dissatisfiedly: "Isn't there a soft sedan chair?" ”

Chu Xi chuckled: "We are here to pray for blessings, and we naturally pay attention to sincerity, so it is better for us to climb this mountain on foot." ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, Chu Zhen said so, she naturally would not force herself to sit in a soft sedan chair anymore, and glanced at the brightly lit inn not far away: "Big sister, I really don't have the strength, I'm afraid you can only go up by yourself tonight." ”

Chu Xiwei looked at the grandmother who came with her, bowed slightly, and left fifteen of the twenty attendants who came with her for Chu Zhenzhen, and most of the mother-in-law maidens sent by the old lady were also given to her.

Of course, Chu Zhenzhen would not be too pompous, looking at Chu Zhen, who had already begun to go up the mountain, and only a few lonely maids and daughters-in-law behind her, she sneered twice: "I was born to be a lowly life." With that, he walked towards the inn as if no one was around.

Lu Tan has kung fu, so naturally he heard Chu Zhenzhen's words, and the corners of his mouth raised coldly: "It is still unknown who is the cheapest life." ”

Chu Xi glanced at the people who followed behind her, chuckled, and walked towards the top of the mountain.

It was almost dark before the group reached the mountain, Chu Xi and Lu Ya did not suffer in vain in the nunnery for a few years, and now they don't feel too tired when they climb up, but they are those maids and women, who usually do needlework or something, but now they are so tired that they are panting.

Chu Xi asked them to clean up the yard briefly and sent them down to rest, the five guards were guarding the main gate, and Chu Xi only took Lu Tan and Lu Ya back to the room.

"Miss, the slave maid will fetch you hot water to wash." Green Sprout Road.

Chu Ji bowed his head and waited for the green sprouts to leave. Lu Tan said cautiously: "I have found out clearly, then the mother and daughter of the Qin family are praying for blessings in this Hanshan Temple." ”

"How many days have you been here?" Chu Xi asked.

"It's only two or three days."

Chu Ji bowed: "You go and investigate the situation around this courtyard first, and then we will act in the second half of the night." ”

At the thought of acting with Chu Xi, Lu Tan was indescribably happy: "Okay!" With that, she ran out, just in time for the green sprouts to get hot water to wash her.

After a simple wash, Chu Xi lay down, and the green sprouts also retreated to rest, today the boat was tired, everyone was tired, and they slept deeply.

In the Hanshan Temple, two black shadows burst out from the back corner door of Chu Xi's small courtyard, sticking to the shadow of the root of the wall, all the way forward.

Stopped in front of a heavily guarded courtyard, Chu Xi made a tidy up towards the green sandalwood behind him, the green sandalwood understood, quietly passed, picked up the stone that had been prepared in his hand and threw it in the other direction, making a big noise, the person who was guarding was startled, and hurriedly ordered a group of people to go and check, and the green sandalwood saw that the time was ripe, and directly appeared, and the man was shocked in his heart: "Leave three people to protect Mrs., and the others will chase after me!" With that, he stepped forward and chased in the direction where the green sandalwood had left.

After Chu Ji made sure that there were only three people guarding the door inside, he revealed the bracelet on his wrist, quietly approached, and pulled the mechanism before the three people found out, and the silver needle quenched with the drug quickly flew out, quickly stabbing into the bodies of the three people, and then fell to the ground.

The people inside were frightened and didn't dare to move, Chu Xi didn't enter the house, knowing that Lu Tan wouldn't last long, so he only lowered his voice outside: "Don't be afraid, madam, I'm here to save you." ”

"Help me? How to save me? There was a trembling sound from inside.

"Someone is going to kill you."

"Who!"

The corners of Chu Xi's mouth hooked: "Madame can understand if you think about it carefully, but if Madame doesn't believe it, you can try to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in the urn." ”

"Lead the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in the urn?"

Chu Xi didn't explain more, Lu Tan had come back after a circle, and when she saw Chu Xi bowing her head, she directly stepped forward and grabbed Chu Xi on the roof.

The two of them hid, and the attendant outside the house hurried back: "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Sure that it was his own person, Bai Shi opened the door at this time, and scolded with a gloomy face before remembering Fang Cai's voice. But who wants to kill her, who has a holiday with her?

"Could it be Qin Xue?" The only one who has had a holiday with herself is Qin Xue, and she also hopes that she will die the most, so that no one in the Qin Mansion will do anything right with her, and the old fool of Dingguo Gong will definitely not care about the things before.

"Do you know how to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in the urn?" Bai hasn't studied for a few years, but his brain is quite good, and he knows that he can't let others think about it.

The leader naturally understood: "Which snake does the lady want to lead and which turtle does she catch?" ”

Bai Shi frowned: "Someone wants to kill me, who else can it be." Coldly threw down a sentence, then turned around and went back to the room, the leader thought about it, and quickly arranged it.

Seeing this, Chu Xi let Lu Tan take him back to the courtyard.

Lu Tan followed behind Chu Xi, a little puzzled: "Why didn't Miss say that she wanted to kill Qin Fei, but said that she would kill her?" Didn't those people just want to kill that little girl? ”

Chu Ji saw that her brain was not open again, and nodded her forehead: "This matter is originally a pool of muddy water, why should I go?" ”

Lu Tan was stunned for a moment, but then understood in a blink of an eye: "Miss means that if someone wants to kill Qin Fei, then the Bai clan will also count the young lady who went up the mountain?" After all, Qin Fei had an accident that day, and in addition to the second lady who hurriedly ran to the rockery, there was also you, if Chu Zhenzhen bit back, maybe the young lady would be misunderstood by her. ”

"It's good to understand." Chu Xi smiled faintly, let Lu Tan go down to rest, and then lay on the bed, just waiting for tomorrow's good show.
