141: The phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken (one more)

Cousin Chang Xi is on his way back to Yiyang, plus his aunt Wei is also in Yiyang to take care of it, there is another nest of Zhao Jin, and there is no doubt about safety, so Wei Guangnan will have such a proposal.

Si Gonggong thought of the geographical location of Yiyang, and nodded, he stayed there, and there was his eyeliner there, so this arrangement was feasible, plus Chang Xi and Zhao Jin have not established a relationship with the outside world, which is very confusing, just like this time the Weiwu Marquis Mansion was not angered by the so-called Emperor Chongde and Empress Dowager Zheng.

The two began to discuss the specific plan that could be implemented, and it was not until dawn that it was decided, and all that remained was to implement it in an orderly manner.

The wives and concubines of the six princes have already been taken to the battlefield as hostages, so the edict is not strictly defended, after all, the four princes are weak and do not need to be too guarded, and the eighth prince has not jumped out to raise the "anti" flag, which gives Zhu Guogong the opportunity to rescue the hostages.

When Chang Xi returned to Yiyang, the weather had turned cold, and Wei saw her return safely, and learned that her eldest son's family was safe, and her hanging heart relaxed, and she immediately fell ill, and it took several days to see improvement.

And the family of the Four Imperial Princesses and the Eighth Imperial Concubine came at this time.

The two were locked up for a long time, and after being rescued, they didn't even have time to rest, and hurried to Yiyang.

As soon as the fourth princess saw Chang Xi, she grabbed her hand and cried loudly, she couldn't hold up any shelf at this time, the days of being locked up in the edict prison were the nightmare of her life, and being able to get out of danger this time was also a blessing for Zhao Jin, so she attributed all this to Chang Xi.

This can make Chang Xi speechless in embarrassment, this matter really has nothing to do with her, at this time she can only comfort, "Fourth princess, don't get excited, come, let's talk in the house." Then he helped the four princesses, who were obviously not in good health, to the back room.

Wei had just recovered from his illness, and after hearing the news, he immediately rushed over, just in time to see the eighth princess holding her children's hands and walking into the house silently.

"The Eighth Imperial Princess?"

Hearing the call, the Eighth Imperial Concubine turned her head to look at the Wei family, her eyes narrowed slightly, and it took a while before she recognized the person, "You are the Lady of the Mighty Marquis?" ”

"It's me." Wei Shi hurriedly responded, and then stepped forward to find that the Eighth Princess's eyes seemed to have a problem, so he gasped, "Your eyes? ”

The Eighth Imperial Concubine said with a gloomy expression, "I accidentally broke my eyes in prison, and I wasn't blind, but my vision was a little unclear." ”

Wei didn't expect that the battle for the heir was even more cruel than he imagined, as soon as the men patted their butts and left, the women and children had to suffer a great sin and were left behind to cover for the men.

The fourth princess who walked in front looked stunned when the eighth princess spoke, as if she remembered the days in prison, her body was still shivering, she lived half a life with dignity, once she fell to the mortal dust and let others trample on it, just reminiscing, her heart was like being roasted on a fire, and the phoenix in distress was not as good as a chicken.

Chang Xi looked at the two of them like this, and then looked at their children, the older ones were as wooden as they had no sparkle in their eyes, and the younger ones were silent, and they all seemed to have very serious post-traumatic sequelae, but unfortunately she was not a psychiatrist and would not do psychological counseling for them, so she could only ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and by the way, she prescribed some drugs to dredge her mind, and then slowly enlightened, and she should be better for a while.

Hearing that she wanted to ask a doctor to see a doctor, the fourth princess said, "Don't be so troublesome, you have seen a doctor all the way, and the injuries on your body are healed......."

"It's also good to have a safe pulse." Chang Xi said.

Seeing Chang Xi's insistence, the fourth princess and the eighth princess glanced at each other, and neither of them objected, after all, now that they are under the fence, they are still hostages, but one does not treat them as people, and the other treats them politely, and the fool will think of resisting and living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs.

After the Eighth Imperial Concubine snorted for a while, she said, "Chang Niangzi, can you back up your pen and ink, I want to send a letter to my husband." ”

Although no one asked her to do it, she did it consciously, and whether the letter to her husband was useful or not, at least she showed others her worth, so that it would be worth it in exchange for a few days of peace.

Chang Xi chuckled, "Don't worry, let's let the doctor take a look first, by the way, the courtyard is ready, this place is much simpler than the prince's mansion in the capital, please don't mind the princess......"

"How can you mind? That's good, really, well. The fourth princess hurriedly waved her hand, for fear of causing more trouble to Chang Xi, and she had been imprisoned, compared to which any place was heaven.

The Eighth Imperial Concubine also hurriedly said that this is excellent, and she didn't dare to find fault at all, she was still arrogant before, after this experience, how can she still be proud?

When her husband really becomes the emperor one day, and takes her to be the queen again, maybe she will not come back until then, but when she thinks that her mother's family is still in prison, her eyes darkened again.

Chang Xi doesn't think about their minds in detail, anyway, what they have experienced will always leave an imprint on people's bodies or spirits.

Taking advantage of the subordinates sent by Si Gonggong to settle them, she said to Wei, "It's good for mother to talk to them more often, and go out to bask in the ......sun more."

Wei nodded his head, and finally said with emotion again, "I'm glad that I came to Yiyang because I missed you at that time, if I stayed in the capital and was sent to prison, it would really be better to live than to die, I just think about it, my scalp is numb." ”

I don't know how my mother-in-law and husband are doing now, she hasn't asked, for the people who have hurt her, she really can't continue to give a sincere heart, so it doesn't matter if they are alive or dead, fortunately, her children are not in Nafu, so who suffers and what does it have to do with her?

Chang Xi saw Wei's expression relaxed, and knew that she was not worried about the scum father and them, well, in fact, she didn't care at all, so she didn't mention the Weiwu Marquis Mansion in half a sentence.

The three-entry mansion is quite spacious on weekdays for the mother and daughter and the people brought by the Wei family, but now that the fourth princess and the eighth princess and their children are housed, together with the people sent by the princess to wait and monitor, it is a little crowded.

Chang Xi was about to send someone to ask the house next to her in private, if there was anyone to sell, she bought it to open it up, repaired the moon and bright door, so that it would be much more spacious to live in, after telling this matter, she was about to go out to the workshop to deal with affairs, and the fourth master Xie hurriedly came to the door.

After welcoming people and sitting in the flower hall, the fourth master Xie went straight to the point and asked about the placement of the fourth princess and the eighth princess, and obviously received the news as soon as possible.

Chang Xi is not ambiguous, she will answer whatever he asks, at this time she will not play with the fourth master, and those who are in the same boat are serious when they hold the boat to the other side first.

The fourth master Xie nodded frequently at Chang Xi's performance, although he had an unpleasant relationship with the Xie family at the beginning, Chang Xi still has a great sense of the overall situation, and he is very disciplined, and he can indeed be regarded as a heroine among women, because his attitude towards Chang Xi has changed, so he is also a little sincere.

"It's a secret matter for them to be here, so let's do it, if the people in the neighborhood want to sell their houses, I'll do it, and I'll send the title deed and the house deed when I turn around, so you don't have to come forward, so as not to make people suspicious."

This dare is good, Chang Xi can't ask for it, with the Xie family coming forward, there is no problem in Yiyang City that cannot be solved, and no one dares to ask why the Xie family acts like this, it is much better than her coming forward, so she naturally threw the problem to the fourth master of Xie.

For a while, the two had a bit of a year-old friendship.

Sending away to understand the fourth master, it was already late to see that it was already dark, Chang Xi did not go to the workshop again, but went over to accompany the four princesses and others to dinner, which could eliminate their sense of unease.

After dinner, the Eighth Imperial Concubine handed over the written letter to Chang Xi, and said politely and a little uneasy: "Please also ask Chang Niangzi to send the letter to my husband, and strive to let him abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, and don't go all the way to the dark." ”

Chang Xi took the letter, "Don't worry, the Eighth Prince, I will definitely let someone transfer it to the Eighth Prince." ”

The Eighth Imperial Concubine breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then she smiled embarrassedly for fear that others would laugh at her.

After the hustle and bustle calmed down, Chang Xi sat on the Luohan bed and read the various reports of the workshop brought back by Hu Niu, now whether it is a tea brick workshop or a spinning workshop, it is a daily progress, especially the tea brick workshop, because she brought back a large number of orders from the northwest, and now she has recruited a group of people to work day and night in three shifts, and it is still in short supply.

It seems that Lin Yuqi's research on the automation of tea bricks has to be put on the agenda, and the successful research and development of rubber has made automation no longer a fantasy, although in her opinion this automation is still very rough, but in fact it can be used, and it is enough for the time being.

On the other hand, the second tea brick workshop has entered the stage of site selection, Xie Ming is personally in charge of Kamcha, she can just be a hands-off shopkeeper, of course, Zhaotai City, which built the second spinning workshop, is excluded, and cannot compete with the spinning workshop for resources.

When he was busy, the head of the subordinate sent by the father-in-law to wait and monitor the two princesses hurriedly came in with the letter from the eighth princess, and reported in a low voice, "Chang Niangzi, there is a problem with this letter." ”

"Oh, what's the problem?" Chang Xi immediately stopped what he was doing, and his expression was instantly serious.

The head of the person was not ambiguous, and directly spread out the letter and pointed out several points, "There are secret words in this letter, we have tried several methods, but we have not been able to completely crack it, but we know that the Eighth Emperor Concubine is passing our news to the Eighth Prince, this should be the secret language of their husband and wife......"
