After Xiao Chengze finished writing the message, he stuffed it into a bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's legs, which can protect the letter from wind and rain.

In the letter, they made it clear that there was no need for any more visitors. With the eight-story tower and the protection of everyone, they should now be able to return to the capital smoothly. Shentu Tang was also injured, although he didn't die, but he didn't have any other helpers now, and he couldn't win if he wanted to catch up, so he didn't need to worry about him at all. Too many people coming out of the palace will arouse the suspicion of outsiders, but it is not safe.

Inside the Great Xia Palace.

Zhou Lingyi has been giving birth for nearly half a month, and now the child is quietly nursing and playing. She likes it so much, they are still living in Concubine Zhang's residence, and Concubine Zhang is as happy as a flower when she looks at her little granddaughter every day, and her coughing symptoms are much better. I think it's good to have a full house of children and grandchildren, and the two of them feel that the only fly in the ointment is Xiao, Cheng Tian has not come to see the child, since the child was born, until now, Zhou Lingyi has always hoped that her husband can come to see him, but he has never waited for any news about Xiao Chengtian. Gradually, Zhou Lingyi also had a trace of doubt in his heart.

She knew that Xiao Chengtian had always had some ambitions, so it was very likely that he would be regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by the emperor, and the two of them were still competing against each other.

Zhou Lingyi was a little irritable and worried in his heart, thinking of this, he thought about taking advantage of the child's sleeping now to go to the front to ask.

Zhou Lingyi did not tell Concubine Zhang about these thoughts and doubts in her heart, Concubine Zhang was already in poor health, but now with the company of her children, her life is happier. As a daughter-in-law, you shouldn't add to his troubles at this time.

When he arrived at Xiao Chengze, when he was in the study, he saw Xiao Chenzi standing at the door.

"Why is the side concubine here?" Xiao Chenzi was very surprised. "Aren't you still out of confinement?"

"My father-in-law told me that I have something important to ask to see Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is recuperating in the dormitory. Now His Royal Highness King Duan is in the study to help His Majesty deal with some chores. ”

"I see, then I will go to the dormitory to ask to see Your Majesty." Zhou Lingyi turned around and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty is resting in the palace at this hour, and I am afraid it will take a few hours. If the side concubine Niangniang keeps waiting, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it, not to mention that His Majesty is sick and does not want to see people in the first place. Why don't you go another day? Xiao Chenzi casually pinched a lie and prepared to send Zhou Lingyi away directly.

When Zhou Lingyi heard this, he did become hesitant, and after waiting for a few hours, it was true that he couldn't hold on for such a time. What's more, An'er, as a small baby, doesn't sleep that long, and he gets up every hour or two to cry for a while. As a mother, you should be by his side at all times.

"Then I'll go another day." Zhou Lingyi went back to Concubine Zhang's residence by herself.

Xiao Chenzi hurriedly reported this matter to Xiao Chengyu, who was criticizing the setbacks.

"The princess came just now."

Xiao Chengyu was also a little puzzled, "What is my sister-in-law doing?" Didn't she just give birth? ”

Xiao Chengyu has always called Zhou Lingyi his sister-in-law, because Xiao Chengtian and Zhou Lingyi were indeed married at that time. Even if he had Su Gu Cha later, he always thought that his real sister-in-law could only be Zhou Lingyi.

"I said a few casual words and sent it back, but I always thought that he might have discovered something, or else he would not have come to see His Majesty at this time."

Xiao Chengyu clenched the pen in his hand, "Second brother, what's the news over there?" It's been so long, and he hasn't come back yet, could something really have happened? ”

"Shall we send someone out and find out?" Xiao Chengyu really felt that this time was too long, originally Xiao Chengze said that he would only be able to go back and forth in a few days, but now such a long time has passed.

"General Situ has already written a letter and asked the carrier pigeon to ask. However, so far, I have not received a reply. Xiao Chenzi is also very worried now, but he is a relatively stable person, and he does not write all the worries in his heart on his face, because he is an important person around the emperor, if so, wouldn't it tell all the ministers that the emperor is not in the palace, and something happened to the emperor.

Xiao Chengyu sighed and thought of Situ Rou, and felt that he should not have been in the mood to come back in the first place, and should have accompanied the emperor to the ghost city of Fengdu to find an antidote.

What kind of place is the ghost town of Toyoto? It has also been seen in books, and the description of Fengdu in the book can be described as purgatory on earth, extremely terrifying.

Even if Xiao Chengze is strong in martial arts, but he wants a smooth antidote with Wang Shi in Fengdu alone, and it is not easy to rush back?

What's more, the poison in his body cannot be cured by just one person.

The more Xiao Chengyu thought about it, the more irritated he felt, but now he had to stabilize the city and the people in the harem before Xiao Chengze came back, and the harem was naturally referring to Concubine Zhang and Zhou Lingyi. The two of them are Xiao Chengtian's family members in the final analysis. You have to be careful.

"Sister-in-law, come to me today, it should be the seventh day of the seventh month, but you have to send him away today, he will still come in two days when he is free, he can hide from the first day of the new year, and he can't hide from the fifteenth, why don't you analyze with me why he came? We're prepared. ”

Xiao Chenzi felt that Zhou Lingyi had been raising a fetus in the palace before, and later produced all the energy that should be put into the child, how could he have this free time to discover anything else?

"I think that coming from the king's side concubine is nothing more than a matter of leaving the king."

"It has been nearly half a month since he gave birth, but the child's father has never shown up, which is undoubtedly very chilling for a woman." Xiao Chenzi had already analyzed Zhou Lingyi's thoughts without much effort.

"Well, isn't he missing? I can't find him now. How can you talk to Zhou Lingyi about this? ”

"It's impossible to talk straight, so how much excitement must he have?" Xiao Chengyu sighed and lay down in the wheelchair.

He is now in a wheelchair and has done it very comfortably, after all, after throwing away his symbolism, he is just a big golden bump, yes, the dragon of the Great Xia Kingdom is also made of pure gold made of gold, the effect is very gorgeous, but at the same time it is very uncomfortable. Even if it's a cotton mat on it. It's also hard-stated.

"Or we say that he has another woman outside, and he doesn't want to care about their mother and daughter." Xiao Chengyu thought of an idea.

"Wouldn't that hurt too much?"

Zhou Lingyi had experienced being snatched away by another woman before, and even her husband demoted her to a concubine for that woman, and now she went out of nothing to tell her that Xiao Chengtian had another woman, and she would probably cry to death.

Xiao Chengyu spread his hands helplessly. "It must be hurtful to be alive, but it's very credible, isn't it, this thing is something that can be done by the king when I hear it."

"If the two of us tell the truth and directly say that he is missing, I guess my sister-in-law will not believe it, thinking that we are secretly hiding it."

"That's true, but I always feel that this is inappropriate, do you want us to consult General Situ again." Xiao Chenzi also values Situ Rou very much.

"It's okay, after all, women should know women better than men."

Xiao Chenzi quickly found Situ Rou for the reason of discussing state affairs. At this time, he happened to receive a letter from Xiao Chengze, even if Xiao Chenzi didn't come to him, he would soon go to them.

The three of them gathered in the study.

"You're saying that the second brother is coming back soon, it's really good, I'm finally going to be relieved." Xiao Chengyu was really ecstatic after learning the news that Xiao Chengze would be back soon, for so many days, he was about to vomit, this prison country is really not good, this is still with the help of Xiao Chenzi secretly helping him to correct part of it.

"Look at you like this, you can only be an idle prince." Situ Rou couldn't help but tease Xiao Chengyu as he happily circled around the room.

Situ Rou is a bold girl who can afford to put it down. She was able to order Xiao Chengyu before, and after being rejected, he was not discouraged or afraid, anyway, he was so good that Xiao Chengyu was a kid who didn't know the goods. He won't become decadent because of this, so he will say what he should say and scold what he should scold.

"I'm just so happy for a while." Xiao Chengyu said, "Don't just sit still, have you thought of how to deal with the concubine?" ”

"Your idea is very good, just do what you say!" Situ Rou also felt that this reason was the most able to deal with Zhou Lingyi After telling him about this, he would definitely feel extremely sad because of this, but Zhou Lingyi's temperament was soft, and he definitely couldn't run to the Hades King to question him. Besides, he couldn't find anyone at all.

Depressed, he nested in his room every day and washed his face with tears. I won't come out to find trouble with others.

"Two votes for one."

Xiao Chenzi didn't say anything against it as a vote, anyway, he knew that this reason did work, but it was a bit hurtful.

"Then it's up to you to talk to the concubine." Situ Rou quickly handed over this burden to Xiao Chengyu.

"Ahh

Situ Rou said: "Ahhh ”

Xiao Chenzi also nodded on the side.

Xiao Chengyu could only bite the bullet and go to Zhou Lingyi and say that Xiao Chengtian was not.

Before entering the house, Xiao Chengyu took two deep breaths, he has never been the kind of person who likes to lie, so when he first asked him to lie, the whole person became nervous, in order to prevent revealing his stuffing, he tried his best to make his breathing a little more normal.

Believe in yourself, you can. Xiao Chengyu silently cheered for himself in his heart.

After Xiao Chengyu brewed his emotions, he entered the room, first invited Concubine Zhang, and then sent the snacks he brought, and then went to visit Zhou Lingyi.

Although the two of them lived in the same courtyard, in order to prevent the child's crying from being too noisy and affecting Concubine Zhang's rest, Zhou Lingyi deliberately moved to the side hall to live.

Xiao Chengyu unusually let people go in to report, after all, it is his sister-in-law, if someone goes in is unreasonable, when Zhou Lingyi went out of the door and saw that the person who came to see him was Xiao Chengyu, a warmth rose in his heart.
