Shen Yan'an said: "It's nothing, I just don't want her to make trouble like this again." ”

Shen Yanshu saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't force it, and said: "My maid doesn't need so much, if you don't want to keep her around, then you can let her go to the ship's galley to help." ”

Usually the boat is a little busier than the kitchen, and the people there don't know that she is the county lord, and they must not tolerate her wayward little temper, which will inevitably make her angry.

"Forget it, don't let her go to the kitchen. Shen Yan'an said.

Shen Yanshu looked at him puzzled, and saw that he had regained his expression and started to eat, so he didn't say anything more.

They had breakfast, but no one had the heart to go to Cangzhou City, so the group hurriedly got on the boat again and set off directly in the direction of Chang'an.

Pei Yao couldn't find Pei Yining at the inn, so he sent someone to the boat early in the morning to ask, and no county lord appeared.

He was about to return to Jiangzhou when he suddenly received news from the Jingwang Mansion in the southwest, saying that the emperor had an edict to let him enter Kyoto, and the Jingwang escort escort had already set off and would arrive in Chang'an soon, and he needed to catch up with the escort before that to avoid being discovered.

The waterway was too slow, so he switched to the land route and rushed to the direction of Chang'an with his people.

However, at this time, Yan Qinghan had just returned to Chang'an, and when he entered the palace, Chu Linche rushed over smelling the wind.

Yan Qinghan looked at Chu Linche wearing a soldier's uniform and walked towards him in a hurry, his steps were steady and powerful, his face seemed to have been smoothed out, his eyes were bright, it had only been more than a month to make progress, it seemed that this Xue Ziqing had some strength.

"Qinghan, you're back!" Chu Linche stepped forward and said, "Sure enough, it's punctual!"

Yan Qinghan welcomed him into the mansion, and then walked and said, "It seems that your training effect for more than a month has been good, but it is quite decent." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Linche was heartbroken: "Don't mention it, being tortured by that living Hades every day is worse than death!"

Yan Qinghan smiled: "Seeing that you are still alive and well, how can you look like life is worse than death, not to mention that you have only been in the Shenji Camp for three months, and you will not have such a chance in the future." ”

"I'm not dead, that's the foundation of this world!

Yan Qinghan said: "Yes, then you are fortunate." ”

"By the way, I told you in the letter, Bian Yu, the apprentice of the Medicine King, lives in your palace now, this person is really difficult to serve, there are a lot of problems at a young age, and his room is not allowed to be approached, and he has always cleaned up by himself. Chu Linche said, "He doesn't like others to follow him when he goes out, he just walks around and comes back, do you think it's strange?"

Yan Qinghan hadn't seen Bian Yu before, so he wouldn't jump to conclusions easily, but said: "Anyone who has a little ability will always have a strange temper. ”

Chu Linche nodded and agreed: "Your temper is very weird. ”

Yan Qinghan glanced at him, Chu Linche trotted into the living room with a smile, and shouted, "Butler, your prince is back, what delicious food have you prepared?"

Yan Qinghan took a bath, changed into regular clothes, and when he walked to the hall, he saw a figure dressed in white, he walked in and took a look, the person happened to turn around, and he realized that it should be a young man, but there were a few wrinkled scars on his face, and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly.

"Bian Yu has seen the prince. The young man in white saluted.

Yan Qinghan actually felt that he was a little familiar, but it seemed to be very unfamiliar, glanced at him, and said, "No need to be polite, since it was invited by this king, it is a guest." ”

Bian Yu bowed his head and said, "Since the prince is back, let's ask for a pulse first." ”

Chu Linche said: "Isn't it the same to eat first and then ask for a pulse?"

"The son of the world doesn't know that one of the characteristics of this person is that he likes to ask patients to ask for a pulse on an empty stomach. Bian Yu said.

Chu Linche shrugged his shoulders and looked at Yan Qinghan helplessly.

Yan Qinghan didn't care, sat down, watched Bian Yu take out the hand pillow, then lifted his sleeve and put his hand over.

Bian Yu gently rested on his veins, his fingers a little cold.

"What does the prince feel abnormal about his body in recent months?" Bian Yu said, "Master once told me about the prince's condition, but it is not optimistic, but now it seems that compared with what my master described, it has improved a little, I wonder if the prince has found the purple pearl?"

Yan Qinghan frowned and said, "I haven't found it." ”

"Did you ever get sick on the fifteenth day of the month?" asked Bian Yu.

Yan Qinghan didn't hide it, and said: "There is an illness, but I met a woman, and as soon as I get close to her, I can relieve the pain, and it has not been as serious as before in recent months." ”

After hearing this, Bian Yu's brows furrowed unconsciously, and then carefully checked the pulse, and asked, "Who is this woman?"

Yan Qinghan looked at him and didn't answer.

The whole hall suddenly fell silent, Bian Yu didn't have much expression, seeing that he didn't answer, he knew that he was still wary of himself, so he changed his question.

"What's so special about her, like what illness has she had, or is her blood the same color as a normal person?"

Yan Qinghan said: "There doesn't seem to be any disease, and the color of the blood is not abnormal. ”

Bian Yu said, "Then can I meet this woman?"

Yan Qinghan was silent for a while, and said: "She doesn't live in Chang'an now, wait for a few days to come back, let's talk about it." ”

Bian Yu said again: "If this woman has a purple pearl on her body, when she is close to you, it can still alleviate your condition, but this will not cure your disease, if you leave the purple pearl, your illness will become more serious." ”

Bian Yu's words made Yan Qinghan and Chu Linche stunned, if so...... Shen Yanshu has a purple pearl on her body, so all this makes sense, after all, this purple pearl was originally her mother's thing, if she refused to give it, she carried it with her......

"I see. Yan Qinghan said, his tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Bian Yu's gaze suddenly showed a hint of fierceness as his expression changed, but it disappeared in an instant.

Besides, after Qiao Chunwen's matter was revealed, there were many discussions in the Great Zhou, and the emperor was furious, he didn't expect that the people of the Qiao family would hide from themselves, the original Zhenbei Army was not exterminated, and now the Qiao family still plans to deceive themselves in such a way! Then the eight-hundred-mile urgent document came, and Yuan Jing'an, the prefect of Jiangzhou, died.

And Qiao Chunwen turned his face with Yuan Jing'an before leaving Jiangzhou, but he was the most suspicious person, this time, not only to bully the king, but also to murder the court officials, Qiao Chunwen was a dead end.

Because of the eldest princess's intercession, the Qiao family was exempted from sitting in the company, but the death penalty could be avoided and the living crime could not be escaped, and the concubine Qiao Zhanwen was demoted two levels in a row and became an idle official.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Qiao Xi knelt on the ground and grabbed the hem of the eldest princess Pingle's skirt and begged bitterly: "Auntie, save my father." ”

Ping Le ripped off his skirt and felt bored when he looked at Qiao Xi: "If you want to blame it, blame your father for not being angry, it's obviously a good game of chess, but he was stirred up to what he is now!

Qiao Xi cried and said, "But Auntie, over the years, my father has also done a lot of things for you, can't you beg the emperor anymore to open up the net?"

Ping Le snorted coldly and said: "Your Qiao family is not sitting down, it is already a gift from the emperor, if it weren't for the palace, you can only stay in the prison now!"

This cold tone made Qiao Xi tremble, and he couldn't say a word.

Pingle stood up and walked in front of her, leaning over and pinching her chin, his eyes fixed on her face.

"It's a pity that you have this face, I originally planned to let you be the princess of King Jing. ”

Qiao Xi was speechless, and could only cry silently.

Pingle gently wiped away her tears with his fingers and said, "My good niece, don't worry, your aunt will not treat you badly, although your father is gone, your aunt will still find a good home for you." ”

Qiao Xi looked up at the eldest princess of Pingle in surprise, not knowing what the destination she was talking about, but now that her father is dead and her mother is useless, the marriage can only be held in the hands of the eldest princess.

"It's up to my aunt to decide. She said.

Seeing her so knowledgeable, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and said, "Don't worry, if you marry King Ning, you can enjoy the glory and wealth." ”

"King Ning?" Qiao Xi was even more surprised, "But isn't King Ning married Situ Yue'er......

And with her current status, she is not even worthy of the princess of King Jing, how can she let King Ning look at her?

The eldest princess of Pingle said faintly: "Princess Ning, you are naturally unworthy, your father committed such a thing, you don't even think about a side concubine, just let you be a concubine." ”

"Concubine!" Qiao Xi shouted in surprise.

Seeing her reaction like this, the eldest princess of Pingle frowned and said, "What's wrong with the concubine? If King Ning becomes a big thing, you will be a concubine in the future, and if you are lucky, you can go further, even the queen is possible, what better place to end than this?"

"This ......," Qiao Xi hesitated.

The eldest princess of Pingle continued: "Your father has committed an accident, even if you want to be a wife, there will be a few men from the family who are willing to want you, otherwise, you can only marry a commoner." ”

Qiao Xi shook his head violently.

"Have you thought about it, be King Ning's concubine or be the wife of a common man?"

Qiao Xi bowed his head and said, "It's up to your aunt to decide." ”

She knew that if she disobeyed the will of the eldest princess, her fate would not be good at all.

The face of the eldest princess of Pingle finally had a smile.

Although she is the emperor's own sister, but after this incident, the emperor will definitely have a pimple in his heart, and she can't be the same as before for the Qiao family, she married Qiao Zhanwen, if the Qiao family collapses, she won't be able to make any good. Now there is only one way out, and that is to return to King Ning's party.

If King Ning successfully sits on the dragon chair, she and the Qiao family will have the merit of following the dragon, and then the Qiao family will be able to rise.

So she had to have a line to catch up with King Ning, and Qiao Xi happened to be this line, giving Qiao Xi to King Ning to show her and the Qiao family's determination to join him.

As for the emperor's side, he can't relax......

Princess Pingle's eyes flashed slightly, and she finally made a decision.
