Chapter 172: Sleepless Night

"However, the minister will never hide anything from the princess."

Xiao Yan looked at Chu Yi's eyes and paused word by word: "There will be no more misunderstandings between us."

After saying that, he repeated it again in his heart.

This is a promise he made.

He didn't want her to be sad and hurt, and he didn't want them to miss it again.

In the past, Xiao Yan would never show his feelings so fiercely, but now he speaks in a set way.

Chu Yi pressed his beating heart, and suddenly realized something: "What is it called, there is another misunderstanding? Did we have any misunderstanding before?"

The misunderstanding between her and Xiao Yan was in the previous life, how could there be a misunderstanding in this life?

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said, "The minister loves the princess, so whether it is the sixth emperor uncle or the minister wants to rebel, as long as you ask, as long as the minister knows, there is nothing that cannot be said."

"What if I'm asking something you don't know about?"

"Then I'll help Ah Yi investigate - no matter what Ah Yi wants to know." He said seriously, the phoenix's eyes were quiet and clear, like golden lake water.

It took a long time for Chu Yi's mood to calm down.

She glanced at Chu Rin's letter and said, "I asked the Ashina clan, in fact, I didn't want to know this, nor did I suspect you of contacting Xiao Jichen, but ...... Do you know that the leader of this Ashina tribe, Yi Zhi, has a younger sister named Ashina Yiyun?"

"Sister?" Xiao Yan thought about the gender for a while, and immediately shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it, I don't know."

"Then you help me investigate—"

Xiao Yan looked cold: "Don't investigate."

Chu Yi: "......" said that no matter what she wants to know, he will help herself?

She held up the letter in her hand: "But my brother seems to be with this Ashina Yiyun."

"Brother?" Xiao Yan frowned and asked rhetorically.

"The eldest brother of this palace, Chu Rin, said in his letter."

It turned out to be the matter of the eldest prince. Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, and his tense face suddenly returned to indifference: "Since the princess cares about her brother's partner, the minister can help the princess investigate."

"Chu Rin asked me in the letter if he married a barbarian woman, would his father be angry on the spot." Chu Yi's tone was extremely helpless.

"I think...... At least it's not a barbarian woman in the royal court, and my father probably, maybe, should, not be angry."

If, according to Xiao Yan, this Ashina Yiyun is the sister of Ashina Yizhi, the leader of the Ashina clan, then her identity is almost a barbarian little princess.

A few days ago, Su Jingyuan and Chu Rin just led the Dingyuan army to kill the king of the right valley of the barbarian army, and won a complete victory, why did Chu Rin turn his head and like the little princess of the barbarian?

Was this the case in a previous life?

How she didn't know.

Until Xiao Yan finished changing the medicine, re-bandaging the wound and leaving Weiyang Palace, Chu Yi was thinking about this problem.

She thought of Su Jingyuan's imminent return to Beijing, and called Xiao Nian again, saying, "Tomorrow, you let Su Bai enter the palace, and the palace will tell him one thing."

After Xiao Nian left, the familiar sleepiness soon hit.

Until Chu Yi fell asleep, he went to the Qianyuan Hall to find the emperor to explain the situation, and he didn't come back.

"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night." Chu Yi muttered to himself.

At this moment, in the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor who listened to Zhuxue finish talking about Concubine Xian and Su Jingyuan sat on the dragon chair in disbelief, and his handsome and elegant face turned green.

Zhang Desheng cowered in the corner, trying to pretend that he was not there at all, knew nothing, and heard nothing.

What a sin, why should he know this kind of royal secret?

Those two, one is the mother concubine of the fourth prince, His Majesty's concubine for many years, and the other is His Majesty's minister, the Marquis of Guan Nei, who has just won the battle!

At the beginning, Su Jingqing, the eldest son of the Su family, died to save His Majesty, and His Majesty sympathized with the Su family, treated the second son Su Jingyuan as his own brother, entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and regarded Su Jingqing's eldest son Su Xuan as a nephew, is it after all

Wrongly paid?

No wonder Pillow Xue asked about her when Concubine Xian was young a few days ago.

He won't be killed by His Majesty, will he?

Why is Su Xuan just not here today, and he is the only one who can bear such torture.

Pillow Xue also stood quietly beside him, waiting for the emperor to digest the matter himself.

I don't know how long it took, but Pillow Xue saw that the emperor still didn't come back to his senses, so he said:

"Your Majesty, although this matter is indeed unbelievable and unbelievable, and it is only a speculation between Yi Concubine and My Highness at present, but My Highness feels that everything cannot be groundless, whether it is the relationship between Concubine Xian and Su Jingyuan, or the bloodline of the Fourth Highness...... Your Majesty should be mentally prepared, in case, this is true."

Pillow Xue tactfully conveyed Chu Yi's words to the emperor.

The emperor raised his head in a trance: "Is this what Liuliu said himself?"

Pillow Xue said, "Your Highness didn't say so tactfully."

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, it turned out that this was already a euphemistic version? He asked, "What are the exact words of Six-Six?"

Pillow Xue hesitated and said, "What My Highness said is similar to what the slave said......

"I want to hear it," Chu Tingxiao said, "Say it, I forgive you for your innocence, I can bear it."

Zhuxue nodded, and emphasized again: "Your Majesty must know that this is what His Highness said, and everything has nothing to do with slaves and maids."

Chu Yi, who was sleeping far away in Weiyang Palace, sneezed in his sleep.

"Say." Chu Tingxiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Royal Highness's original words are, although the child may not be yours, but Concubine Xian, it may not be yours, so if you can't do it, just prepare a blood test."

"Drop blood, test relatives......" Chu Tingxiao's eyes widened, and he stood up, as if he had received a huge blow, and almost stumbled and fell.

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty be careful-"

Chu Tingxiao brushed away Grandpa Zhang's support and took a deep breath: "I am still young, I can't die."

Father-in-law Zhang was even more scared, and gave Pillow Xue a look to ask her to retreat.

"Zhang Desheng, do you say that the blood test is reliable?" The emperor asked weakly.

Father-in-law Zhang: "It's unreliable, the slave accidentally cut his finger when he killed the chicken before, and the blood was fused with the chicken."

「……」

"Drive Yonghua Palace!"

If Gonggong Zhang heard correctly, he felt that the emperor's voice was a little choked and crying, as if he had ten thousand grievances, and he wanted to go to the queen to complain.

He raised his head and saw that the top of the emperor's head was exuding a patch of emerald green.

O iniquity!

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly followed behind Chu Tingxiao.

*

At the same time, after a long night, a group of black-armored cavalry, who had already traveled a long distance and were exhausted, stopped by the river not far from Shangjing and set up a bonfire on the spot.

The iron armor is cold, and the cold wind is like a knife.

A few people dismounted and sat around the campfire to keep warm, while the other two raised torches, smashed the ice on the river with the handle of their knives to get ice water, and boiled water in clay pots carried by the army.

"General Qiyu, walk along this river, and then walk through this bamboo forest for half a day, and you will be in the capital."
