Zhao Yan shook her head, "It's a relative, but my father and Zhao Guogong are just cousins, and I'm a concubine, I can't get on the stage, and I've never been to Jinling City, and I haven't seen Zhao Heng's cousin, so he won't take care of me." ”

"Forget it, everyone has their own fate, and they can only resign themselves to fate."

Chu Tiange took a breath, her biggest problem is stubbornness, once she wants to save someone, she must save her.

"If you don't try, how do you know? You actually care about the reputation of the Zhao Mansion, so you take care of your brother everywhere. But you don't have status, and it's not enough to rely on your father's protection. ”

Zhao Yan stopped and looked back at her.

Chu Tiange continued: "Women have status, either they have the ability, or they are born and married. You are a concubine in the Zhao Mansion, and your mother will not find you a good husband. ”

Zhao Yan hesitated, and there was a light in her eyes.

"Go to Jinling City, only Zhao Heng can interfere in the affairs of your family and keep Zhao Tai's reputation."

Chu Tiange tried his best, and there was no way to say anything if he didn't agree to her.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "My mother died early, but there is also a maid Xiaomian who grew up with me." I'm gone, she's afraid it's going to be hard. ”

Chu Tiange sighed deeply, this girl really has enough heart, she is afraid that she will not leave, but staying in this Zhao Mansion, I really don't know when Zhao Minglang will start again.

"I've got to take her with me." Zhao Yan said.

-

So soon, it's back to Jinling City.

Chu Tiange didn't resist coming back, after all, she didn't have time to go home to see when she left, and she didn't go to the mass grave to pay respects, she would come back sooner or later.

She skillfully took Zhao Yan straight to the door of the Zhao Mansion, and Zhao Yan was stunned and said, "You are very familiar with the Zhao Mansion." ”

"I grew up in Jinling City, so I am naturally familiar with where a door like Zhao Mansion is."

Chu Tiange's eyes were slightly distracted, she and Li Yunlin often came to Zhao Mansion to play in the past.

Zhao Heng is considered to be one of the few people who can have a good personal relationship with Li Yunlin and Li Yanxiao, and in Zhao Heng's private banquet, both of them will give him a little thin noodles.

Although he has been promoted to the throne, he still misses this mansion where he has lived for many years and refuses to move.

Zhao Yan plucked up her courage and knocked on the door of the Hou Mansion.

It was not the first time that distant relatives had defected, Zhao Heng understood the ins and outs and arranged a place for Zhao Yan to live.

"I will repair a letter to your father and advise him to discipline Zhao Minglang well. You just have to live here, Steward Qin will arrange a room for you, and if you have a special need, send someone to tell me. ”

"Thank you, cousin." Zhao Yan's hanging heart fell.

Zhao Heng's gaze froze on Chu Tiange's face, "Why is the girl masked?" ”

"Ugly, frightened Hou Ye." Chu Tiange pinched his throat, for fear that he would hear that it was him.

Zhao Heng said: "Ugly people abound, and girls are even more eye-catching." ”

He waited no longer for her to reply, and turned to leave the hall.

Chu Tiange turned his head sideways and saw Zhao Yan's gaze fixed in the direction where Zhao Heng left, and his eyes were covered with a strange light.

"Cousin he...... It's so beautiful. ”

Chu Tiange was stunned, and a thousand words turned into three words, my God.

She hesitated, but still told Zhao Yan, "Zhao Heng is the person that the Ninth Princess has a crush on." ”

Zhao Yan was surprised, "Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess who was born auspicious from the sky and is known as a goddess?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Tiange nodded.

Xiao Mian said disapprerovingly: "So what, it is precisely because she is a goddess that she can't marry at all, she must guard herself like a jade, even I know this." ”

"So, don't fight Zhao Heng's idea, Jiugong wants your life, it's as simple as pinching an ant to death."

Chu Tiange said sincerely.

-

Chu Tiange found a reason to go out, walked two miles, and the Taishi Mansion built around the lake looked from afar, and it was still solemn and solemn.

I originally wanted to go to the main gate, but I found two guards standing at the door. What are you doing when the mansion has been sealed for so long?

She had to take a detour and climb over the wall.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard have not been taken care of for a long time and have withered.

Chu Tiange looked up, and there was dust everywhere, and he was depressed. Seeing with her own eyes that the place where she grew up became like this, the pain in her heart gushed out.

In the blurred vision of the water, she suddenly saw a row of footprints under the porch.

Has anyone been here?

She followed the footprints all the way to the Chu ancestral hall.

She didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the ancestral hall after her house was raided, and whether those tablets were still there.

After turning the Zhu Lang and seeing the scene in the ancestral hall, she was stunned for a moment.

The ancestral hall is intact, and a man dressed in a jade costume kneels on the futon in front of the tablet, holds the incense and worships, and inserts it into the incense burner.

He knelt straight for a long time, and had no intention of getting up.

Chu Tiange walked up to him, his nose sour, "You...... How is it here. ”

Li Yanxiao heard the voice, and her body stiffened.

"Are you back to Jinling City?"

Chu Tiange knelt beside him, a little choked, "I always have to go home and take a look." ”

Li Yanxiao's ears were red, and he didn't dare to look at her directly, "I'm passing by here, so I'll come in and disturb you." ”

Chu Mansion is in a secluded place on the outskirts of Jinling City, surrounded by lakes on three sides, backed by green mountains, how can you happen to pass by, and also brought incense.

Even Chu Tiange himself was in a hurry, and he didn't think to bring incense.

"Thank you." There was some warm wind in her heart, and her originally sad mood eased a lot.

The two knelt down and didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Chu Tiange spoke: "I have hidden some land deeds in my boudoir, if they are not stolen, I will be able to repay your money." ”

Li Yanxiao coughed twice, "Don't say this in front of your family. ”

Chu Tiange found out that there was still her father's tablet on it, which was relatively new, and it seemed that it hadn't been around for a long time.

She looked sideways at Li Yanxiao, and suddenly felt that she had wronged him, how could he hold Xing'er hostage with the queen?

Suddenly, there was the sound of soldiers' footsteps.

Li Yanxiao's face changed slightly, helped her up and said, "Hide quickly." ”

Chu Tiange looked around, she could see through this ancestral hall at a glance, there was no hiding place at all, she could only hide at the door in a hurry.

Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

A low-alcohol voice came, "See? The five princes of the Qianyuan Dynasty actually broke into the seized mansion and burned incense in the ancestral hall of the ministers! ”

Chu Tiange's body stiffened in the dark that they couldn't see, and a cold chill rose in his heart.

Li Yanxiao chuckled lowly, "You know my whereabouts. ”

Li Yunlin's voice was very cold, and he couldn't wait.

"As a prince, you offer incense to the notorious rebellious ministers and thieves, isn't it a great rebellion!"

"Third brother, this is the Chu Clan's ancestral hall, is it appropriate for you to make trouble here?"

Li Yanxiao's face sank. Tiange should be so sad to hear him speak like this.

Li Yunlin ignored his words.

"The common people know how to spurn the ministers, but you don't know what to do here. Tomorrow, I will tell my father and emperor what you have done in front of the officials, and you can explain it to the courtiers yourself. ”

He made a look, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army stepped forward and said, "Fifth Highness, I have offended." ”

"Fuck off, I'll go by myself." Li Yanxiao said coldly.
