After leaving Yinzhou and running around for a few days, Chu Yi finally returned to Beijing, and before entering Beijing, she deliberately changed back into women's clothes.

Chu Ye had already received the news, dressed in civilian clothes, and waited at the city gate in a low-key manner.

"Brother!"

"Little Liu, you've lost weight." After Chu Ye looked at her carefully, he sighed, and there was a hint of distress in his tone.

Chu Yi bent his eyebrows and dismounted with a smile: "Why is my brother here?" ”

"I'll deliver the Yulin Army, I said before that I would escort you to the Qianyuan Palace, but now it's ......" Chu Ye said, glanced at the Yulin Army behind her, and praised it without hesitation, "I didn't lose a single person, Xiaoliu is really powerful." ”

Chu Yao limped next to the prince, his white teeth brilliant: "Little Liu, you are black." ”

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth twitched, he walked up to him, and twisted the soft flesh on his waist with lightning speed: "Chu Xiaowu, don't talk if you can't speak." ”

"Ahhh

Chu Yao screamed, once again suspecting that his sister was going to murder his brother.

Chu Ye watched his younger siblings play around beside him, showing a gentle smile.

At this time, Chu Yi stopped, sighed, and said sadly: "Brother, although you see that these Yulin troops have not been damaged, but they are actually all seriously injured, I have been treating them along the way, but in fact, they can't make ends meet, and they are in a lot of hardships......

Chu Ye saw through everything and waved his hand: "You go back and let me come to the East Palace for a trip, I still have some silver taels in my private treasury, and I will make up for you." ”

Chu Yi bowed seriously and said, "Brother, this move is very good!" But my brother was wrong, and this is not a supplement for me. ”

"Oh? Who's that? ”

"Supplement the world, the merit is in the future!"

Chu Ye: "......"

He quickly led April and Yulin Jun away, and Chu Yicai looked at his grinning fifth brother and asked, "Why are you limping when you walk?" Who did you fight with? ”

Chu Yao sighed and said helplessly:

"Of course it was beaten by the queen mother. The Emperor of Heaven received a secret recital, saying that someone below impeached him for visiting the Qinglou for his brother to drink flower wine, destroying the reputation of the royal family.

Somehow the queen mother knew about this, and she beat up her brother this morning, and until now, her brother's ass still hurts! ”

"This—" It must have nothing to do with her.

Chu Yi comforted him seriously: "How could the fifth brother be such a person, it must be that the father and the queen mother misunderstood." ”

Chu Yao rubbed his buttocks, revealing his dimples: "Yes, yes, it's still Xiaoliu, you believe in being a brother!" As a brother, he usually makes some confidants and friends, and makes some money by doing some small business, how can he go to visit the Qinglou. ”

Chu Yi: "Don't worry, wait for me to go back to the palace to intercede for you." ”

Chu Yao whispered to himself: "Thank you Xiaoliu, I don't know which kid is drinking flower wine under my banner, if I let me know, I will have to beat him!" ”

Chu Yi touched the tip of his nose and agreed: "Fifth brother is right!" ”

On the side, Pillow Xue was dumbfounded.

Coaxed Chu Yao away, Chu Yi looked around the capital.

finally got out of the palace, and after being reborn, she didn't take a good walk in the capital.

The liveliness and prosperity of the capital are incomparable to the four states of Nanfu.

"Let's go, go to Wing On Street." Chu Yi's heart moved and said.

Pillow Xue asked suspiciously: "Yong'an Street?" There are many vendors and shops, does Your Highness want to buy anything? ”

"Sugar."

It wasn't until the evening that Chu Yi finished shopping.

It's just that because of the resumption of women's clothing after entering Beijing, Beijing is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, and all kinds of acquaintances, Chu Yi couldn't go to Changle Fang to find Lu Fengmian for a while.

Finally returned to Weiyang Palace, Xunchun prepared a large table of delicacies, Chu Yi finished eating, and then lay back in the room and fell asleep.

I don't know how long she slept, but she had another dream.

In the dream, she was once again like a ghost, floating in the magnificent and luxurious Yongguo Palace.

A crisp bell sounded, and Chu Yi floated to a place similar to the imperial garden with the sound.

This time, she didn't see Xiao Jixing, but a skinny little boy.

The boy was five or six years old, wearing a short robe embroidered with vermilion embroidered moire, he couldn't see his face clearly, and asked the young man in front of him in a milky voice: "Sixth uncle, if you eat sugar and drink medicine, won't it be bitter?" ”

The boy who was called Sixth Uncle by the boy was also unable to distinguish his appearance, he patted the boy's head, and his voice was gentle: "Sugar does not make medicine sweet, it is the person who feeds you sugar." ”

The next moment, Chu Yi saw the boy clutching the candy in his palm, and the two little short legs were running fast, and she even had a hard time following.

He walked up to a woman in a blue brocade dress and raised the sugar cube in his palm, even if Chu Yi couldn't see his facial expression, he could imagine his expectant gaze at the moment.

Chu Yi faintly guessed the identity of the boy and couldn't help but smile.

When this person was a child, he was really much cuter than he was later.

Suddenly, the white mist rose, and the candy in the boy's hand was smashed to the ground by the woman!

The woman lifts her foot and crushes the sugar cube into powder.

"Don't!" The boy shouted.

Chu Yi's pupils trembled, and he also lost his voice: "Don't!" ”

Why is this woman so ruthless, it's just a child, why can't you feed him a candy!

Is that......

Xiao Yan!

Chu Yi woke up suddenly, saw the familiar curtains, and his heart was surging with sourness and sorrow, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Why did she dream of Xiao Yan again? Or was he when he was a child?

He had never told himself about his childhood, how could he have such a dream, and it was still so real.

Chu Yi even felt that the scene in the dream should have happened to him.

"Could it be that this is a special ability that God gave me after I was reborn? Can you see a person's past? ”

Chu Yi muttered to himself.

But why, she could only dream of Xiao Yan.

She came back to her senses, lifted the curtain, and stared at the candy she had bought on Wing On Street yesterday.

Two cyan glass cups were placed on the table, one filled with pale pink sugar cubes, which were sweet peach hard candy, and the other orange sugar ball, which was sour orange candy.

The scene in the dream is still vivid, as if cold water is spreading along her limbs and in her heart.

"Pillow snow." Chu Yi called.

"The slave is here."

She covered the lid of the glazed cup and said, "You sent this peach-flavored cup to Mingyue Pavilion, and said that this is a specialty of Nanfu that the palace bought too much." ”

"Bought too much?" Pillow Xue was dumbfounded, "I don't know who ate every type of candy in all the sugar shops on Yongan Street yesterday, but in the end I only bought two, and this candy is very expensive!" ”

Chu Yi snorted: "It's just that I bought too much." ”

Why did she want to give Xiao Yan candy, she just felt that the taste of this peach candy was most similar to the taste of the sugar that Xiao Yan carried with her in her previous life.

As for the sweet and sour taste of oranges, she liked it very much and bought it for herself.

Pillow Xue picked up the sugar cup, thought about it, and said: "At this hour, Xiao Gongzi should still be on duty in the Qianyuan Palace, and the slave maid will send it to him later, he will definitely be grateful to the princess when he receives this." ”

Chu Yi shook his head and said, "Thanksgiving? He won't, he will only steal fun, you see he asked Geng Chuan to help us, don't you also tell Geng Chuan not to reveal his identity......"

As she spoke, her red lips pursed, and she took the glass candy cup from Zhuxue's hand.

"Forget it, I'll deliver it myself later."

Even if Xiao Yan wanted to kill Xu Xiang himself, he sent Geng Chuan to help her.

Well, she just went to thank him.

"Your Highness, Xiao Nian asked to see him, and said that he had something to report." At this time, Xunchun came in to spread the word.

Chu Yi got dressed and walked out of the inner hall with a yawn: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Xiaonian walked into the hall and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness asked the servants to send someone to secretly stare at Yi Qiu, and later, the servants found that Yi Qiu sometimes served the virtuous concubine, and sometimes followed the four highnesses, which was no different from ordinary palace maids. ”

Chu Yi sobered up a little: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Dead." Zhang Xiaonian said.

Chu Yi's apricot eyes shrank slightly, and he picked up the teacup in his hand: "How did you die?" ”

She had always wondered who Yiqiu was.

Originally, Yi Qiu's sentence before her death in her previous life, "If you die, the old ministry of the first emperor can belong to His Majesty," had already made her conclude that she was the fine work that Chu Zhao had placed beside her, and Yi Qiu also admitted when she was expelled from Weiyang Palace that she was "just helping His Royal Highness find some of his own preferences."

But Chu Yi still had a trace of uncertainty in his heart.

Chu Zhao used to be the fourth emperor brother she cared about, although she had been estranged from him since she was a child, but he also cared about himself and grew up with him, they also had a good childhood, after the death of the country, she even thought about secretly contacting him to return to the country together to take revenge.

It's just that she hasn't had time to do this yet, and her body is no longer good.

Zhang Xiaonian had investigated clearly before and replied: "Jing Zhaoyin's body found near East Fourth Street was killed with a knife, saying that it was because he went out of the palace without permission and met a gangster, and was killed by someone for money. ”

"When did she die?"

"On the night we left Beijing for Nanfu."

Chu Yi took a breath.

How could it be so coincidental that Yi Qiu died on the night she left Beijing, and she was still outside the palace.

Zhang Xiaonian continued: "Also, the little eunuch sent by the slave to monitor Yi Qiu said that the last time I saw her, she went to the Secret Hall Pavilion to deliver snacks to the four princes for Concubine Xian. ”

Then, she left the palace without permission? How could she leave the palace without permission!

What she discovers and what she sees leads to ...... Silenced.

Chu Yi didn't believe that Yi Qiu would leave the palace in the middle of the night for no reason, and then meet the villain, and, judging from the knife she stabbed herself in her previous life, she knew some martial arts.

Chu Yi asked: "In the past few days, has anyone in the court found out that the palace did not go to the Qianyuan Palace?" ”

"No, the day before yesterday, Lord Gu also wrote a book, saying that you are worthy of praise for visiting the Queen Mother with filial piety."

"Concubine Xian, the Fan family, the Liu family, didn't they find out that there were fewer people in the Yulin army, so they didn't use this to trouble their brother?" Chu Yi asked again.

Xiao Nian shook his head: "The Yulin Army is in a mess, not to mention that there are only a few dozen fewer people, or a few hundred fewer people, no one cares." ”

"In other words, Yi Qiu is likely to find out about the palace's private trip to Beijing that night, and then be killed, if the person who killed her was her brother or father, the Fan family would definitely sense that something was wrong, unless—" Chu Yi said slowly, "It was Concubine Xian or Chu Zhao who killed her." ”

Her eyes were complicated, and she whispered, "Chu Zhao." ”

He's a little more likely.

In the end, Yi Qiu was probably following Chu Zhao out of the palace to do errands.

However, Chu Zhao, her fourth emperor brother, was the one who asked Yiqiu to kill her in her previous life......

What did he think, and why did he hide it for himself?
