Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Gap Between Mother and Son

Old Madam Chu hurried to the Dingguo Mansion, and the Bai family was a little surprised.

"My ex-mother-in-law is here." Bai sat in the flower hall, looking at Mrs. Chu, and sat on it leisurely without getting up.

Old Mrs. Chu was called her in-laws by the Bai family, who was dozens of years younger than herself, and she felt indescribably awkward, but she didn't come for this today.

"Qin Xueke, I'm here to find her"

Before she finished speaking, Bai Shi laughed exaggeratedly: "Qin Xue has already been given a leave of absence by you, what are you still looking for her?" ”

Old Madam Chu looked at the arrogant Bai Clan, held back all the anger of today's day, and said with a smile: "I said before that I took her off and I made the decision on my own, but now that Song'er knows about it, she is very angry, so I came to atone for the crime and wanted to take Qin Xue back." ”

When Bai heard this, he was glad that he was smart and posted the letter of resignation.

"It is said that the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled, and now that you have poured this water back, there is no reason to take it back, Mrs. Chu, you better forget it." Bai Shi sneered, how could she let Qin Xue continue to go back to be the prime minister's wife, Qin Xue killed her Fei'er, she wanted to leave her to torture.

Old Madam Chu didn't know that she had the idea, but when she saw that she refused to let herself take it back, she said: "In this case, then so be it, I will go to see her, if she is willing to go back with me, I will take her away; If she doesn't want to, we won't force it. It's just that you, as a stepmother, can't let your daughter stay at home and not let her go back to her husband's house, right? ”

Bai's face sank: "Old Madam Chu is really good at talking. ”

The old lady stood up and looked at her, Bai raised her hand impatiently: "Go, you go and ask the eldest lady if you are willing to go back to Chu Mansion." There was no intention in Bai's words to let Old Madam Chu go to see her.

The old lady frowned: "Duchess Guo, you are like this"

"What, my ex-in-laws are here to find fault?" Bai Shi said coldly and sarcastically.

The old lady's face was slightly pale. Ordinary Dingguo Gong gave her a few thin noodles, but this Bai family is really a bastard, she has never seen the world from a small family, and her current style is so unruly.

"Grandpa Guo is here? I went and told him what it was to keep my married daughter at home. I have heard that Grandpa Guo and Duchess Guo don't take this daughter from the original match seriously, I have to ask in person if this is really the case, if so, it is better for me to take Qin Xue back to take care of it. The old lady said righteously.

Bai Shi was furious when he heard this, this old lady is not a good thing, and now he blames himself and says: "You can take this person if you want to!" ”

The old lady was overjoyed, but Bai Shi said: "She deceived me into giving me 30,000 taels of silver to your Chu Mansion before, and now as long as you take the 30,000 taels back, I will give this person to you!" ”

Old Madam Chu's face was pale, what did she say about cheating money, what did she do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Qin Xue she must see today, and she must die!

"Mother Jiang, go back and find Zhen Zhen and bring the money!"

"No need!" Chu Zhenzhen's voice suddenly came, and as soon as Old Madam Chu turned around, she saw Chu Zhenzhen's eyes red running over.

"Why are you here?" The old lady asked in a deep voice.

After Chu Zhenzhen heard Chu Zhen say that conjecture, she didn't believe it, but now that she looks at it, it is really the case, her grandmother really wants to take her mother back, but she didn't expect to force herself to spit out the 30,000 taels.

"I heard that my grandmother came to pick up my mother, and Zhen Zhen was happy, so she also came." Chu Zhenzhen looked at Mrs. Chu and saluted, and then turned her head to look at Bai: "My grandmother said that I deceived the money of the Dingguo Mansion, why didn't I ask my uncle, this silver was obviously given to me by him, if my grandmother refused to let my mother go back today, then Zhen Zhen went to ask her grandfather, asked Lord Han, Lord Li, Master Ma, and the adults in the capital, Zhen Zhen, all wrote to ask one by one, whether there was a husband's family to pick up, and the mother's family did not let her daughter go back." ”

Bai Shi looked at Chu Zhenzhen and was so angry: "Your mother is doing well here, just come back and stay for a few days."

"Yes, does my grandmother think I don't know what my mother is doing?" Chu Zhenzhen said again.

Bai gritted his teeth: "Okay! You can take her back, but you have to pick her up in person. He has the face to divorce your mother, then carry the sedan chair and carry the person back again, this is the mother's face for your mother! ”

The Bai family was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, and the old lady was also so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, so it was clear that she could see Qin Xue soon, but Chu Zhenzhen was so disturbed, where could she still see people.

"We'll see her now"

"No need." Bai interrupted her: "Now that Xue'er is not in good health, you all go back first, go and call Chu Bingsong, so that you can have a family reunion." Bai Shi said, looking at the old lady's unsafe look, his heart was a little relieved: "Old lady Chu must remember that she must carry a sedan chair eight times and raise her head and a big horse!" With that, he got up and left.

Chu Zhenzhen was very happy, she had always been worried that her mother was just a small sedan chair carried in from the side door, but now if she carried a large sedan chair for eight times, wouldn't it be the gift of her wife, and her name as a concubine was a little more correct.

"Grandmother, let's go to my father." Chu Zhenzhen pulled Old Madam Chu's sleeve and said.

Old Madam Chu remembered Chu Bingsong, who was angry before, if she went to him because of this incident, he was afraid that he would hate his mother even more.

The old lady threw off her sleeves angrily and walked away directly.

Chu Zhenzhen was stunned, but she didn't have time to think about it, and directly beckoned someone to find Chu Bingsong.

Chu Ji was still anxiously waiting for news in the courtyard at the moment, not knowing what happened to Lin Qingyu's side, and not knowing what happened to Yang Ci, if something went wrong

Chu Xi didn't dare to think about it, Lu Ya saw that her face was solemn, and the wound that had just been bandaged was bleeding again, and distressed tears came out: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "You go and wait outside, keep an eye on the movements of the old lady and Chu Zhenzhen, and come back as soon as there is news." ”

"Yes!" Seeing that she had an order, Green Sprout hurriedly beckoned Chunzhi and Xiaofu'er to go out.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Xiaoyao Palace, the atmosphere is a little weird, the front yard is still singing and dancing, and the back yard is falling into dead silence.

"What the hell went wrong!" Zhen Niang's face was dark, her actions had failed repeatedly, and now she wanted to act in Changle Nunnery, so as to attract everyone's attention from the dead man, and then blame Zhao Xuanyi, such a perfect plan was interrupted before it could be implemented.

"Yang Ci usually does not lead troops, and this time he transferred troops out of the city without permission, which is already a capital crime"

Before Zhao Xunyan finished speaking, Zhen Niang said angrily: "What's the use of capital crimes, he can't afford to be the elite of my recuperation if he dies ten thousand times, and that Lin Qingyu from the Anping Marquis Mansion actually suddenly appeared, could it be led by Zhao Xuanyi?" ”

"Since the last time the Yang family died, it seems that they have also sided with Zhao Xuanyi." Zhao Xunyan indirectly agreed with Zhen Niang's words.

Zhen Niang's face turned around with a dark face, looking at the darkening sky outside the window: "He broke thousands of us, and you arrested him Han Min?" ”

"Han Min is also his right-hand man." Zhao Xunyan's expression was slightly cold: "I'm preparing for another thing, and even if he Zhao Xuanyi has the ability to reach the sky, he will definitely not be able to escape!" ”

"Are you sure there won't be another mistake this time?" Jane turned to stare at him.

Zhao Xunyan bowed: "Absolutely not." ”

"Good!" Zhen Niang took his words: "I want to go back to the palace during this time, I won't come out again for the time being, you clean up these messes yourself, if you haven't done anything after the scientific examination, don't blame me for being ruthless." After Zhen Niang finished speaking, she turned around and left through the secret passage.

Zhao Xunyan stood in place, cold as a piece of ice.

"Someone." Zhao Xunyan said coldly.

Immediately, an attendant walked in: "What does the prince command?" ”

"Go to Dali Temple at the same time. Han Min's affairs can't be delayed, and he will do it before the prince. If Han Min comes out safely in the end, this king will not be relentless! ”

"Yes!"

"Wait." Zhao Xunyan turned to look at him: "Is Jiao Simiao back?" ”

"Not yet." The man shook his head.

Zhao Xunyan's expression sank, the Chu Mansion is in a mess now, Chu Bingsong is unusable, but he can't let others use it.

"Tell me to go down, if Jiao Simiao finds Chu Qitai, he will directly plant people to Chu Bingsong." Zhao Xunyan said coldly.

The guard was a little surprised: "If this is the case, the prime minister will lose his official position if he can't keep it."

"Lose office?" Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly: "That's what he asked for." ”

The squire didn't dare to say more, and hurried away.

Xu Jin heard this outside, and smiled all over his face, since the prince didn't like Chu Mansion so much, Chu Zhenzhen would not be favored even if she married in, let alone become a threat to herself. As long as she conceives a child early, she is not afraid of what the King of Freedom will do to her in the future.

"Who's out there?" Zhao Xunyan said coldly.

Xu Jin's palms tightened, and he came in directly and saluted: "Lord, it's a concubine, everything is ready in front of you, does the prince want to go over?" ”

Xu Jin just got closer, Zhao Xunyan smelled the aphrodisiac on her body, his eyes were a little colder, and he stepped forward and ripped off her clothes: "Since you want it so much, then this king will fulfill you."

After saying that, he leaned over and went up, and the room was beautiful.

At this end, Zhao Xuanyi heard the news, and hurriedly dispatched people to go outside the city, but when he arrived, Yang Ci had already surrounded all the people, and these people were all trained, and they all had poison hidden in their mouths, and after knowing that they couldn't kill it, they directly bit the poison sac and committed suicide.

After Yang Ci finished his work, he did not go back to Yang's Mansion but went directly to the Prince's Mansion to ask for guilt, which was also explained by Chu Xi before.

Looking at Yang Ci, who was kneeling in front of the mansion and refused to get up, Zhao Xuanyi sighed: "You are really hasty in this matter, and it is a capital crime to transfer troops privately." ”

Yang Ci knelt on the ground: "The minister is willing to die, as long as he can save people and save the people." But I hope that the prince will be gracious, this matter has nothing to do with the Yang Mansion, and I beg the prince to let the Yang Mansion family go! ”

Zhao Xuanyi heard this and shook his head slightly: "I naturally know that this matter has nothing to do with the Yang Mansion, and I will not implicate them, but you have to tell me, how did you know that there were villains who were going to slaughter Changle Nunnery and the nobles in the nunnery?" ”

Yang Ci shook his head slightly, took out a letter from his sleeve, and presented it to Zhao Xuanyi with both hands: "The minister didn't know either, but this morning there was a mysterious letter delivered to my room, after I read it, I felt that it was related to the safety of hundreds of teachers and ladies in Changle Nunnery, so I didn't ask for instructions in advance, and took people out of the city directly." ”

Zhao Xuanyi opened the letter directly and looked at the unfamiliar handwriting on it: "This handwriting is neat but hides the edge, and it must also be a master." ”

Yang Ci didn't say more, Zhao Xuanyi looked at him, and said: "Come on, Yang Ci violated military regulations and transferred troops privately, but he thought that his merits outweighed his faults, he beat twenty military sticks, fined him for one year, and thought about it behind closed doors for three months as a warning!" ”

Yang Ci looked up in astonishment: "Prince"

Zhao Xuanyi put the letter away and put it on his sleeve: "Don't be too happy, this palace will go to intercede with my father first, and then I don't know if my father is willing to buy the face of my cheap prince." After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he walked away.

Yang Ci was grateful, although Zhao Xuanyi was famous for his cold noodles, he was a very good prince.

Zhao Xuanyi is naturally satisfied with Yang Ci, although the young man is righteous, but he is brave and loyal, and when something happens, he actually thinks of being the first to come to him, just with this heart, he knows that Yang Mansion is obedient to himself, such a powerful wing, he naturally has to take care of it.

Zhao Xuanyi walked for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Qingyu also went, what about others?" ”

Yang Ci was puzzled: "When the minister went, he didn't see Lin Shizi. ”

"I didn't see it" Zhao Xuanyi was puzzled, with Lin Qingyu's character. He will definitely stay behind such things, why did he disappear directly, did something happen?

Out of the prince's mansion, Zhao Xuanyi ordered Leng Dao to find Lin Qingyu. He was already wounded, and I heard that all the assassins this time were extraordinary, so I wonder if something happened to him.

Leng Dao hesitated a little: "Lord Han's side"

"Don't worry, my father admires Han Min very much, and people with a discerning eye will know that something is wrong at a glance, and Lord Han will be fine." Zhao Xuanyi said that, and got into the carriage and went to the palace.

But while he was so relieved, some people weren't.

Lin Fu looked at Lin Qingyu uneasily: "Master, do we have to be in such a hurry?" ”

Lin Qingyu's face became more and more pale: "If you don't hurry up, Han Min will only have one soul left." ”

Su Su on the side looked at him, his nose was slightly sour: "Master, Han Min's life and death are none of your business."

"Alright." Lin Qingyu was powerless to interrupt Su Su's words: "You have been getting more and more disagreeable lately, if this is the case again, you can go back to Wuji Pavilion and guard." ”

Su Su's eyes were slightly red: "Su Su will not be in the future." ”

"Well, go and deliver a message to my sister-in-law, saying I'm fine, everything has been arranged. Reassure her. ”

Seeing that he was still thinking about Chu Xi at this time, Su Su's eyes showed some hatred: "You have to lose your life for her before you die." After Su Su finished speaking, he turned around and left the carriage and headed in the direction of Chu Mansion.

Lin Qingyu raised his eyes and saw her leaving, and sighed slightly: "She is still so stubborn, Lin Fu, you can arrange it, and let her go back to Wuji Pavilion in these two days." ”

Lin Fu looked at him and bowed slightly: "I understand, but master, Su Su has served that person for so long, and it is normal to hold a grudge against the young lady now, maybe it will be better later." ”

"It was better to do so." Lin Qingyu said slowly.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, and Lin Qingyu looked at Mei Niang, who was sitting in the corner and had not spoken, and said, "Give me the medicine." ”

Mei Niang clutched a small bottle in her hand: "Although this medicine can overdraw your physical strength, you have already used two or three pills in succession, and now you use it again, I am afraid that you will have to sleep for half a month before you wake up, and it really hurts your body."

Lin Qingyu said: "It seems that I am going to open another crude medicine shop, let Mei Niang take care of it, and I will definitely be able to manage it." It's just too nagging. ”

Mei Niang saw that he was still joking at this time, her eyes were red, and she took out a medicine from the bottle and gave it to him: "The last time, even if the master wants to kill me, there will be absolutely no next time!" ”

"Okay." Lin Qingyu responded softly, took the medicine and took it, his pale face suddenly turned bloody, and his spirit recovered a lot.

Lin Fu and Mei Niang glanced at each other, but they just sighed in their hearts and followed him out of the carriage.

Lu Tan came back very early, and by the way, he told Chu Ji the news of Chu Qitai.

"Ruyifang found it?" Chu Ximulan asked.

Green sandalwood chin head: "I just found out, Chu Qitai is now hiding in the family temple of Chu Mansion, and the people of the fourth lady are dragging it, but I heard that the people around King Xiaoyao are also looking for it, and they are thinking of getting Chu Qitai out"

"You go and help him." Chu Xi continued, she hadn't thought of letting Old Lady Chu die, but now, she felt that she could die. If a person is too ruthless, he will receive it from heaven, and if he does not accept it. She'll take it herself.

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi's face full of murderous intent, and was a little flustered: "Miss, don't worry, the prince is so powerful, it will definitely be fine." ”

Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at Lu Tan fixedly, but she couldn't help the sourness in her eyes: "Really?" ”

Lu Tan was thinking about how to persuade him, when a person suddenly flashed in outside, and Lu Tan waited to see the person clearly, so he hurriedly turned around and closed the door tightly.

"Why are you, Lord Shizi? Our lady is worried."

"The master is fine." Su Su looked indifferent, looked at Chu Xi, thought about it, and still spoke: "If you want our master to be fine, then stay away from him, if it weren't for you, my master wouldn't have suffered so much, he was at ease outside, and he had a sweetheart."

"What do you say?" Green Sandalwood interrupted Su Su's words with some annoyance.

Su Su also realized that she had said too much, but she did not regret it: "I came to report the safety of my master." Since you are the ladies of the back house, then settle down, embroider and play the piano at home, don't have nothing to do all day long. After saying that, Su Su saw that she ignored Chu Xi and left directly.

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi worriedly: "Miss, don't listen to her nonsense, she must be jealous of Miss." ”

Chu Xi shook his head slightly, and tears finally fell from his eyes: "I know, I'm not worried, as long as he's okay." "Whether he is sincere or false to himself, how can she not see it after so long. But Su Su is right, there is no need to pull him into this pool of sewage for the sake of his hatred.

"From today onwards, don't go to Ruyifang again, and don't let us go to the Anping Marquis Mansion, understand?" Since this revenge is her own, let her avenge herself.

Lu Tan bit his lip slightly, and looked at Chu Xi distressedly: "Miss"

"By the way, how is Lord Han's affairs investigated, has that little girl been found?" Chu Xi asked.

Lu Tan shook his head slightly: "I asked Ruyifang, and said that the world has evaporated, and no one knows where it went." ”

"That's weird." Chu Xi sighed slightly: "It looks like I'm going to go out tomorrow." "She has no one to use, and now she can no longer rely on Ruyifang, she has to rely on herself.

Chu Xi looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "It's not early, you go and tell Aunt Fu to prepare dinner, I'm hungry." ”

Looking at the smile on Chu Xi's face, Lu Tan was still not at ease, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to go.

Chu Ji washed her face with warm water, re-medicated the wound on her hand, bandaged it with a cloth, and then walked out.

Chunzhi replied to the news and told everything about the Dingguo Mansion, and Chu Ji was in a better mood when she heard this. Chu Bingsong now has a dislike for the old lady, and the Bai family just helped herself, and when these two things are over, she will use Chu Qitai as the last straw that crushes the camel, and this matter will be over.

Chu Bingsong knew about the Dingguo Mansion that night, and was so angry that he directly drove out all the four girls who had been waiting by Mrs. Chu's side in the past.

Mother Jiang was still waiting as before, but she was cold, and after serving, she left her mother-in-law to watch and went down by herself.

The old lady woke up in the middle of the night, feeling depressed, and wanted to talk to Jiang's mother, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was not Jiang's mother, and she knew that she was cold. One is because of today's daytime, and the other is because of her nephew Xiang'er.

The old lady was sad, but she couldn't figure out why she ended up like this.

"Is Brother Hong back?" The old lady asked with a boo.

The woman hurriedly bowed her head: "The slave and maid are going to call you?" ”

"No need, he still has to go to school tomorrow, you bring him to see me tomorrow morning." The old lady now only thinks about this grandson.

The next morning, Xu Jin woke up, and there was no trace of Zhao Xunyan around her, but looking at the bruises and red marks on her body, she was both excited and aggrieved, because her first time she was lost on the cold floor.

She got up lazily and was about to take a bath, but a fierce-faced mother-in-law walked in: "Concubine Fang, drink soup." ”

"Soup?" Xu Jin was puzzled, turned his head to look at the gray-black decoction, and frowned: "What the hell is this?" ”

"What the prince ordered, you should drink it quickly." The mother-in-law said again.

Xu Jin gritted his teeth, raised his hand and knocked over the medicine: "This is Juezi soup, I won't drink it!" ”

Before she thought about it, the soup fell to the ground, and the woman slapped her in the face: "I can't help you say that if you don't drink it, you won't drink it!" After the woman finished speaking, she turned her head to the bowed maid ring and ordered, "Go and pour another bowl!" ”

Xu Jin covered her face and looked at her in disbelief: "You dare to hit me!" ”

The mother-in-law snorted coldly, and when the medicine came, she directly pinched Xu Jin's chin and poured her alive, and then said coldly after pouring the medicine: "Concubine Fang, since you are fortunate to be the prince, you are waiting for your life, don't think about anything, you are the daughter of a criminal minister." is not worthy of conceiving a child for the prince! With that, he turned around and left.

Xu Jin was choked with tears in the decoction, but he bit his lip stubbornly: "I am the daughter of a criminal minister, isn't it all due to the prince!" ”

Zhao Xunyan didn't have the heart to care about these at all, there was news from Dali Temple, saying that when Han Min was forced to confess last night, Lin Qingyu broke in and directly saved the person. Everyone knows that the Seven Princes have never been affiliated with the Prince, and their relationship with the prince in private is average, and they have no way to start at all, and because of this, the Xiaoyao Mansion has also damaged a Dali Temple.

"What does the emperor say about Yang Ci?" Zhao Xunyan asked the people below.

"The prince took all the responsibility on himself, and he punished Yang Ci before, so the emperor only punished the prince for half a year, and verbally reprimanded a few words."

Zhao Xunyan listened. The teacup in his hand was directly crushed: "Okay, you Zhao Xuanyi!" ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do next?" The man asked.

"What else can I do, go find that little girl and ask him to identify Han Min!" They have already lost so many people, if Zhao Xuanyi can't even take a single Han Min here, those officials who follow him are afraid that there will be grass on the wall again.

"Yes."

Zhao Xunyan thought about this big thing, and his face became even heavier: "What is the movement over there in the Chu Mansion?" "Zhen Niang has always said that Chu Xi's girl is involved, but why hasn't he found any traces of her activities? She's just a teenage girl, is there really a Wuji Pavilion standing behind her?

"Wuji Pavilion" Zhao Xunyan remembered the yellow jade pendant on Chu Zhenzhen's body before, thought about it, and said, "Prepare the carriage, this king is going to Chu Mansion!" He didn't think much about it at first, he just thought that Chu Zhenzhen had designed himself, but Chu Zhenzhen said that jade pendant later, and he didn't know it, that is, either Chu Zhenzhen was lying, or she was also designed, no matter who it was, this person must be related to Wuji Pavilion!

Chu Bingsong is now worried about how to get to the Dingguo Mansion, although the hot topic of everyone's discussion has changed from himself to yesterday's Changle Nunnery. But there is still a lot of cynicism, after passing through the market, he can hear the words that scold him for being ruthless and unjust, and now the whole capital knows that he Chu Bingsong has become notorious, saying that he is still an old mother's marionette, and even the old mother wants to write Yunyun when he retires, and even if he makes any suggestions in the court, some people will say that he is extremely cold-blooded to refute him.

Before returning home, Chu Zhenzhen came over again.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Bingsong, and said, "Father, you go and pick up your mother, now the words outside are so ugly that your daughter is embarrassed to go out."

"You're embarrassed to say it!" Chu Bingsong's face was gloomy, his cheeks were slightly sunken, his eyes were swollen, and he knew that he hadn't slept well for a few days.

Chu Bing stood up loosely and looked at Chu Zhenzhen coldly: "You mother and son, none of you have to worry about, your reputation is ruined, your eldest brother killed people in the market, and now you have to affect me." Your mother can't figure it out! After that, he walked away directly: "Go, prepare the carriage, I want to go to the Dingguo Mansion!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth angrily, but after all, she was her father, and she couldn't do anything, but seeing that Chu Bingsong really went, she also laughed: "Go, talk to Chu Xi, and say thank you for her mention last night." But you tell her to remember her identity in the future, and stay in the Zhujin Pavilion, otherwise, she will go to the family temple to accompany the fourth sister! For Chu Xi's mention last night, instead of being grateful, he was crazy with jealousy. was such an incompetent person before, but now she is better than herself everywhere, why is she! It is clear that she is the most beautiful talented woman in the capital, and it is clear that she is the Miss Chu Jiayan coveted by all men, what is she Chu Ji. Dare to fight with yourself!

Chu Zhenzhen thought about it like this, and was about to go back, but she heard that a girl had come to report that Zhao Xunyan had arrived.

Chu Zhenzhen deliberately went back to the room and changed her clothes, and dressed up well before coming out, and Zhao Xunyan was drinking tea when she arrived.

Chu Zhenzhen remembered the last time she was in the palace courtyard, her face was crimson, looking at him today, wearing a dark cyan four-clawed python robe, with a jade belt around his waist, his hair in a bun held by a good jade crown, his sword eyebrows into his sideburns, his eyes were as bright as a sword, Danfeng's eyes looked at him indifferently, and the lips that had left traces on his body

The more Chu Zhenzhen thought about it, the hotter her body became, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Lord Wang." ”

"What about your father?" Zhao Xunyan asked lightly.

"My father went to the Dingguo Mansion to pick up my mother, my grandmother was sick, and my eldest sister went to Hanshan Temple again, so I can only receive Zhen Zhen, and I hope that the prince will not be surprised." Chu Zhenzhen said shyly.

Zhao Xunyan looked at her like this, and was a little disgusted for no reason. When I met her with Zhao You before, although I didn't like her secret Qiubo, it didn't reach the point of such disgust.

"It's okay, the king is here to find you." Zhao Xunyan said lightly, but he only smiled Chu Bingsong in his heart, the more he lived, the more he went back, the older he became, the more confused he became, and a little thing scared him into chaos, and the result was to this point.

Zhao Xunyan raised his eyes to look at Chu Zhenzhen, who was blushing, and looked at her delicate face, Wan'er, only her face could still be seen, but I didn't know how to look at it, and it overlapped her and Chu Xi's faces. If Chu Xi wants to be able to ask for himself like this, I don't know what kind of scene it is.

"Everyone else has stepped down, and this king only wants to say something to the future princess." Zhao Xunyan commanded.

Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly looked at the people around her: "Let's all go down and wait, and close the door." ”

The maids and daughters-in-law all retreated, and Chu Zhenzhen hurriedly walked up to Zhao Xunyan: "What does the prince want to say to Zhenzhen?" What happened that day, Zhen Zhen doesn't blame the prince for being impulsive"

"This king asks you one last time, the yellow jade pendant. Where the hell did it come from? Zhao Xunyan pinched Chu Zhenzhen's chin, and her tears came out of her eyes.

Chu Zhenzhen looked at the indifference and murderous aura in his eyes, and her heart sank slightly: "Lord Wang, you hurt Zhenzhen"

Zhao Xunyan's hand tightened: "You are really not different from her at all." If it was Chu Zhen, she would definitely calmly negotiate conditions with herself, or even threaten herself, but Chu Zhenzhen would only beg him for mercy like a little woman.

"Who is she?" Chu Zhenzhen asked.

Zhao Xunyan coldly hooked the corners of his mouth: "You don't deserve to know." ”

Tears welled up in Chu Zhenzhen's eyes: "Is it right that the prince is talking about Chu Zhen!" She always suspected that Zhao Xunyan liked Chu Xi, because every time he saw Chu Xi, he had no self in his eyes.

Zhao Xunyan's face was slightly gloomy: "It's none of your business, let me ask you, where did the yellow jade pendant come from!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen was ruthless, and regardless of whether Zhao Xunyan would find out that he had calculated him, she said directly: "It was given to me by Chu Xi, and she said that it was given to me by the prince, so I kept taking it with me!" ”

Zhao Xunyan slammed her to the ground: "If you dare to lie to me, I will make your life worse than death!" ”

Chu Zhenzhen covered her neck and coughed, but Zhao Xunyan walked away directly.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Chu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth with hatred: "Chu Xi Chu Xi, it's you Chu Xi again!" I won't let you go! ”

Zhao Xunyan came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I saw Jiao Simiao, who seemed to have just arrived.

"Lord Wang, I have already found out Chu Qitai's location." Jiao Simiao lowered his head.

Zhao Xunyan remembered Chu Zhenzhen's words, and she said that Chu Zhen went to Hanshan Temple

Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly: "In this case, then you can get people out first." ”

"Not enough manpower"

"Twenty elite guards will be sent to you, is that enough?" Zhao Xunyan said.

"That's enough."

Zhao Xunyan glanced at him and got into the carriage directly: "Go to Hanshan Temple." ”

Jiao Simiao waited for Zhao Xunyan to leave, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Chu's mansion: "Master, when will we act?" ”

Jiao Simiao remembered the person who quietly led him to find Chu Qitai last night, and always felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of where the strangeness was, so he only said: "You go and transfer people first." ”

"What about you"

Jiao Simiao glanced at the Chu Mansion, snorted coldly, and went in directly.

Chu Xi's carriage hurried to Hanshan Temple, and when she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw a wave of people she didn't expect.

Those people were eating noodles, eating, and found that there was a carriage of the government in front of them, and several people were about to do a vote, but they were stunned as soon as the people in the carriage came, isn't this the murderous young lady yesterday.

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

The leader swallowed the noodles in his mouth: "Thirty-six plans, of course, are the best plans!" ”

With that, a few people got up and ran away.

Chu Xi glanced at Lu Tan: "Stop people!" ”

"Okay!" Lu Tan jumped up and shouted: "Little thief, where to escape!" ”

Before she showed her sword, several people hurriedly tightened their belts and looked at Lu Tan nervously: "The heroine spares her life, spares her life"

"What are you running?" Green sandalwood is also a little unclear, but the young lady said that she wanted to stop it, so she naturally wanted to stop people.

Chu Ji walked over lightly and looked at them: "What's the hurry, don't eat a meal and then leave?" ”

"No," he said with an embarrassed smile.

Chu Xiwaner: "No, I want to invite you." Just this restaurant, the second floor of the private room please. ”

A few people looked at Chu Xi and felt that this girl was powerful, in order to save her life, how dare she not listen, and hurriedly turned her head to the restaurant.

Lu Tan followed Chu Xi and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what do you want to do?" ”

Looking at the excited eyes of the green sandalwood thief, Chu Xi chuckled: "Find you a few helpers." ”

Lu Tan nodded clearly, staring at these people and becoming more and more energetic, regardless of the fact that he didn't sleep all night last night.

When they arrived at the private room, several people hurriedly hugged their heads and paused, and began to cry and grab the ground: "Miss, you can let us live."

Green Bud looked at a few people who were facing the evil and cried like this, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Miss, what's wrong with them?" ”

"It's a little sad." Chu Xi said lightly, entered the room and asked Lu Tan to close the door, and then said, "What's your name?" ”

The leader was stunned: "My name is Li San, the others"

He said a string of names, and Chu Xi bowed slightly: "You ordinary robberies, how much can you earn in a month?" ”

Li San folded his fingers and calculated: "When there are more, there are one hundred and ten taels, and when there are few."

"When I was young, I didn't dare to add meat to Yangchun noodles, right?" Lu Tan remembered that a few of them were frightened and had to take a few more mouthfuls of bald faces, and smiled.

Several people smiled awkwardly, and Chu Xi said again: "If I give you fifty taels a month, if you do well, you will increase, and if you don't do well, let you help me do things, are you willing?" ”

When Li San heard this, he immediately clapped: "I"

"But think clearly, once you leak what I want you to do, even if you say it in a dream, your life will be gone, but I won't let you kill people and oversell goods," Chu Xi said lightly.

Li San looked at her, she was obviously a lovely lady, how could she say such cruel words so calmly, but think about those fifty taels

"I do!" Li San opened his mouth directly.

Chu Xiwan'er: "Very good, if you agree, once you regret it, you know that I have the ability to take your life." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Seeing Chu Xi smile, several people felt even more embarrassed, and nodded hurriedly: "Miss, don't worry, from now on, you will be my Li San's master, and I will ensure that everything will be done for you." ”

Lu Tan looked at Chu Xi: "Miss, can this work?" ”

Chu Xi did not evade: "Naturally, it can be done, if it doesn't work, they can only go to the underworld to shout grievances." ”

Several people were frightened, busy and kowtowing. They are mountain bandits, and they are not afraid of anything else. I'm afraid that I will meet someone who is more ruthless than them, such as Chu Xi, who is not only ruthless, but also smart!

Chu Ji asked Lu Ya to take ten taels of silver to them: "You go to the capital today, go to the west of the city next to No. 72 Tongfu Lane to buy the old mansion there, a few of you live in it, just say that you are here to beg for a living in the city, and you are not allowed to reveal half a word about me, understand?" ”

"Next to No. 72 Tongfu Lane in the west of the city" Li San read carefully: "Don't worry, we are not stupid." ”

"Very good, since you are their leader, I will not change it, but if anyone under them makes a mistake, not only will they be punished, but you will also be punished, can you understand?" Chu Ji said.

Li San nodded hurriedly, and Chu Xi got up at this time: "You guys go to the city first, and I will let someone inform you about the rest of the things." With that, he took the men and departed.

Li San watched her leave, and then sat down on the ground. There was sweat on his forehead.

"Boss, are we really following this little girl?" There is humanity in the back, after all, Chu Xi is young, and they are all in their twenties and thirties.

Li San glared at him: "If you want to, go to her now, I don't care if you live or die." After that, he figured it out a little: "We used to live a life of licking blood with knives and knives, and now we have food and shelter, so what are we not happy about." She is a girl's family, can she still ask us to kill people and sell more goods? ”

"That's what the Boss said." Several people nodded hurriedly.

Li San then followed Chu Xi's instructions and went to the capital. But when he found out who lived in No. 72 next door, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, but that's all for later.

When Chu Ji went to Hanshan Temple, Yun Songyi was very surprised, but he was also very happy, and excitedly told her about Elder Yan's condition.

Sure enough, the roots of the ears are cleared and the illness is getting better quickly, and Mr. Yan now goes to listen to the Buddhist scriptures from time to time and talks about Buddhism with the abbot, and Li Xiao often comes up to talk with him and discuss the government, Mr. Yan's illness is getting better day by day.

Yun Songyi led Chu Ji inside. He said: "By the way, the King of Freedom has just arrived, and he is talking to his grandfather, do you want to meet him?" ”

"He's looking for Mr. Yan?" Chu Ji looked at Yun Songyi and saw her chin bowed, and her heart sank.

"No need." Chu Xi turned around and walked back, Zhao Xunyan had to see her now, but before she turned around, she heard an indifferent voice behind her: "Isn't this the eldest lady of the Chu family." ”

Chu Xi took a slight breath, turned around and bowed her head and saluted: "I have seen the prince, if the prince has no other orders, the courtiers will retire first."

"How do you know that this king has no other commands?" Zhao Xunyan stared at Chu Xi coldly, her face was a little pale today, and her eyebrows were a little tired, but her whole body still exuded an aura of rejection thousands of miles away as before.

Seeing this, Yun Songyi hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Wang, Master Fang Cai has something to do with Sister Xi'er, can we go over first?" ”

Chu Xi glanced at Yun Songyi gratefully, and Zhao Xunyan was not worried about Chu Xi going down the mountain immediately, so he would buy a face for Boss Yan: "Miss Yun, please." But you will come back in a while, there are some things that this king wants to ask Miss Chu. ”

"Yes." Yun Songyi hurriedly bowed his head, turned his head and pulled Chu Xi and ran out.

After leaving the wing, Chu Xi stopped: "Yi'er, stop." ”

Yun Songyi gasped slightly, and looked at Chu Xi apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the prince was targeting you like this"

Chu Xi shook her head slightly: "It's none of your business, but this time, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"You say, what's the hurry?" Yun Songyi said busily.

Chu Xi spoke: "Help me find someone." ”

The Yan family is a big family in Beijing, they have people in every industry in the capital, if they can't even find someone in Ruyifang, they can only be dead or this person has been secretly hidden by someone, Yan Mansion may have a way, such a century-old family has its own secret power.

Chu Xi explained to her, and Yun Songyi also nodded hurriedly: "You let it go, I will let my grandfather help." ”

"No, I can't let your grandfather know about it." Chu Ji said.

"What then?" Yun Songyi was puzzled.

Chu Ji chuckled: "You just tell Lord Han about this matter as if you have seen or heard about it, with Lord Yan's temperament." I will definitely not sit idly by, and when the time comes, you don't say too much, otherwise Elder Yan will definitely be able to detect it. ”

Yun Songyi bowed his head, Chu Xi looked at the guards staring not far away, and his heart sank slightly: "Now I still need you to do me a favor"

Yun Songyi and Chu Ji walked quickly to the back mountain, and the guard saw Yun Songyi coming in a hurry halfway: "Quick, it's falling, it's falling down the mountain."

The attendant thought that Chu Xi had fallen down the mountain, so he hurriedly ran over without saying a word, and when he left, Chu Xi walked out of the wing room on one side, glanced at Yun Songyi, and walked down the mountain.

At this time, Chu Qitai was about to be rescued, and she didn't go back to watch this good show with her own eyes, how could she do it!
