When time entered January of the second year of Yuanshuo, the entire Han Empire began to be surrounded by spring from south to north. On the road leading to Chang'an City, a carriage was advancing leisurely and leisurely.

"Huichen, the scenery outside is pretty good!" A masked woman was sitting in the carriage. Her left hand was slightly supported by her cheek, and her long black hair was blown by the wind.

"Aunt, we are almost here in Chang'an. What are you going to do?" A beautiful woman in light blue clothes asked in the carriage with a frown.

"We are appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to move into the local tyrants in Maoling County. What else can we do?" Chen Jiao pulled her mind back from the window, looked at the worried Liu Huichen and said indifferently.

On that day, they left the palace through the tunnel that Liu Huichen knew, and everyone in the palace was still shocked by the death of King Jiangdu. After disguising, the Pengcheng Coal Store arrived without any obstacles. After the two years of development, Pengcheng Coal Store has branches almost all over the country, especially the capitals of vassal states such as Guangling City, which naturally cannot be missed. Chen Jiao had long considered that he had to contact Li Xi immediately after leaving, and Chen Jiao's understanding of the Li family was still as pitifully as two years ago. In Guangling City, her only person in Pengcheng Coal Store was naturally the person who founded her. At that time, Chen Jiao did not expect that there would be another surprise waiting for her in Pengcheng Coal Store.

She and Liu Huichen had just been confirmed and sat in the backyard, and immediately a group of servants who were ordered by the emperor came to the capital. If they resisted at that time, it was obviously an unwise behavior, because in this way, their identity would be exposed immediately. Chen Jiao had to make mistakes and follow the group of people to the capital. Liu Huichen, while following her cousin and aunt into the capital, finally realized that the cousin had escaped from the Changmen Palace privately. However, the current emperor, her uncle, did not know why she did not track down her whereabouts. When she first realized all this, Liu Huichen almost had the urge to faint, and she had no idea whether it was right or wrong to follow her to leave the palace.

"But..." Liu Huichen looked at Chen Jiao who was indifferent and really didn't understand why she was so calm.

"Okay, Huichen. You have been worried for almost two months since we set out to the present." Chen Jiao did not have as much worries as Liu Huichen. At first, in order not to be exposed, she avoided Liu Jian's investigation. Every time she watched the servants raise their tokens and take them to pass Liu Jian's "strict defense" level without any obstacles, Chen Jiao had an indescribable happiness. Later, as the days grew, she began to yearn for Chang'an. She had been here for so long, the capital of the Han Empire.

I haven't watched it well yet. Moreover, Chen Jiao thought it very clearly that Emperor Wu of Han had few opportunities to leave the palace, and the chance of private visits on the palace was even more slim. Not every emperor liked to play this trick as much as the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, the Maoling County they went to was not Chang'an City, which was still a distance from Chang'an City. Among more than 20,000 people, who could find a masked woman who was the former queen of the current emperor? And she was also the former queen who had been in Chang'an Palace in the eyes of outsiders.

"We are saying 'Da Yin is in the city', so let's be more relaxed and just do Da Yin for a while." Chen Jiao said with a smile.

"aunt!"

"Don't be upset. The station is coming soon. You are tired after taking the bus for a day today. Get off and rest." Chen Jiao looked at the station that slowly entered her eyes and changed the topic at the right time.

"Aunt!" Liu Huichen shouted helplessly. She was worried about Chen Jiao's indifference, but she really admired her. A woman who was sent to the cold palace was able to create her own destiny and form such a large coal business. Compared with the miserable situation of her equally smart sister-in-law Liu Xingyun, everything Chen Jiao did was even more enviable in her eyes. Although Liu Huichen often knew that Chen Jiao's identity made these dazzling things possible at any time.

I remember that there was a conversation in the first month when they had just started to get along. At that time, Liu Huichen asked Chen Jiao why she took her out of the palace? It was not worth it to bring more burdens just to keep the secret of her identity.

"If I were you, I would have killed this burden after arriving at the Pengcheng Coal Store." Liu Huichen remembered that he said that at that time.

"But I don't want to kill you."

"Why?"

"Because, your eyes are saying, I'm not willing to give up." Chen Jiao pointed her eyes with her finger, with a very focused expression. "I can only let others arrange your destiny. I can only be a silent master or a shadow behind the scenes in the Jiangdu Palace. I'm even more unwilling to be the only one who doesn't get the wholehearted assistance of the people in the mansion just because it's a daughter." Liu Huichen was stunned at the time, and she didn't expect that all she thought in her heart would be seen by Chen Jiao.

"You are the first woman I have seen in this world who is so unwilling to be mediocre. So I take you away, just want to tell you that this world is big." Chen Jiao said this, and showed a big smile and continued, "How is it? Are you interested in helping me? Let's manage Pengcheng Coal Store with me, and we will get more in the future."

Liu Huichen felt that he would probably remember the touching at that time forever, because even though he was as close as his father, he never thought of handing over the Jiangdu Palace to her. Just because the king was a man, he got everything she wanted, and her hard work for many years was not seen by anyone. The queen hated her and blamed her, saying that she stole the elder brother's original things, but she did not see her helplessness and sadness as her subordinates whom she trusted for many years fell to her brother one by one, even if all those who turned against each other in the battle accepted it.

Recognizing the elder brother's talent is not as good as her, but this does not prevent them from standing on the commanding heights of morality. Because the elder brother is the orthodox heir of the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion, and she is just a woman. Following Chen Jiao away from the Jiangdu Prince's Mansion was certainly because she was afraid of the elder brother's harassment, but on the other hand, it was because many of the things she saw in this power struggle made her lose all her thoughts. The invitation Chen Jiao sent at that moment was a recognition of her ability and the last straw she grabbed by her trapped in the abyss.

*******

That night, they stayed at an inn, which was only a few dozen kilometers away from Chang'an City. The stars in the sky were dotted, but the lights on the ground were sparse. In the middle of the night in the 2nd century BC, almost half of the people on the earth fell into a deep sleep. However, it was only almost the moment when the inn was outside the inn was full of people. Many people in the costumes of officers and soldiers were holding torches and searching left and right, making annoying noises.

Liu Huichen pushed the door out of her room. She was awakened by a light sleep, so she simply came out to get some breath. She was surprised to see that Chen Jiao's room opposite was still brightly lit. She walked to her door and knocked on the door, but no one responded, so she had to push the door in by herself. The candlelight was lit on the table, and the owner of the room was not among them. Liu Huichen turned his head to the left and saw that Chen Jiao leaned against the windowsill and slept with her eyes. Her long hair was all wrapped around her left shoulder, shaking gently in the whisper of the night wind.

"Auntie, wake up." Liu Huichen stepped forward and pushed Chen Jiao. Finally, he saw her eyelids move slightly and woke up.

"Huichen? What's wrong?" Chen Jiao looked at Liu Huichen strangely and asked.

"Listen to the sound outside." Liu Huichen said.

"What's the sound?" Chen Jiao listened intently for a while and said, "I'm probably catching the fugitive. There are officers and soldiers outside the station to protect it, so it's not in the way."

"This place is close to Chang'an. Public security here should be better than others. I don't know who can make such a big noise from the government." Liu Huichen frowned and said.

"Is it related to this close to Chang'an?"

"Aunt, Chang'an is the imperial capital. If something happens here, it may reach the sky. Whether it is a civilian or an official, he can avoid making trouble. Officials rarely make big moves for their own political achievements, otherwise it would be a manifestation of their incompetence."

"It's midnight now, and so many people have been sent out to arrest him. Do you suspect that he is not an ordinary person?" Chen Jiao knew the meaning of the string songs, and immediately understood the meaning of Liu Huichen's words.

“That’s right.”

"..." If the identity is unusual, their identity is unusual enough. When they looked at each other, they understood what the other person was thinking.

"Aunt, we..." Liu Huichen's words were interrupted by a loud noise pushing the door. The two looked at the door and saw that the person was a man about 40 years old. He was not too tall, but his sharp eyes made people feel a deep sense of oppression.

Before the two of them realized, the man had already rushed to Liu Huichen's side. The dagger against Liu Huichen's neck clearly showed a message that the invader had a bad intention.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Jiao calmed down in the face of this situation.

The man curled his lips slightly and said softly: "I won't make things difficult for you if I'm sending away the group of officers and soldiers outside."

There was a knock on the door at the right time, and someone asked, "Girl, Miss Chen, are you okay? Please open the door."

Chen Jiao glanced at the man and said softly, "You hide in the bed." After that, she picked up the veil on the table and put it on her face again, and went to open the door.

"Miss Chen." The official officer who had been taking care of them for several days at the door.

"Is there anything?" Chen Jiao asked impatiently, "It's been midnight, why is it so noisy?"

"There is a fugitive tonight, and you're awake." The official apologized almost, "I just saw a figure passing by here. Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay here. You can search elsewhere." Chen Jiao threw down this sentence and wanted to close the door.

"Girl, wait." The official officer was very loyal and stopped Chen Jiao's hand from closing the door. "According to the rules, we must go in and search."

"Bastard!" Chen Jiao slapped the official's hand fiercely, glared at him and said, "Can you check my girl's residence at will? Or after our Chen family moved to Guanzhong, you dare not take us seriously."

"No, no, the girl misunderstood." The official officer was so scared that he almost pissed his pants. The powerful people in these places were not something he could afford to offend. Although the emperor issued an order and deliberately suppressed it, each of them had the ability to do everything. So along the way, he served him deliciously and had a smile on his face. It was better to say that he was escorting him to Beijing than to escort him. It was just that he saw a figure entering the post station and pointed directly at the residence of the Chen girl, the head of the Coal Store in Pengcheng. If it were someone else, he would not dare to ask, but this Chen girl was gentle all the way, so he came to ask, but he didn't expect to anger someone.

"Or, do you think our Chen family is easy to bully. You can wait until you check all the places next door before coming." After saying this, he ignored the reaction of the official officer and closed the door. She had already captured the idea of ​​escorting the official officer along the way, and he did not dare to offend any of them.

"Girl, please calm down." The official begged outside.

"What should I do next?"

"What should I do? You go to another place to check. I can't afford to offend any noble people here."

Chen Jiao leaned against the door and heard the voices gradually fading away and her walking steps gradually became less. She breathed a sigh of relief. Back to the bed, she looked at the man coldly and said, "Let go of Huichen, they have left."

"Miss I'm working hard." The man also kept his promise and immediately let go of Liu Huichen and put the dagger into the sheath. Then, he said, "However, if you leave now, you may be discovered immediately and will also implicate the two girls. Tonight, I will stay here for another night so that I can leave tomorrow. Please forgive me/"

"..." Chen Jiao helped Liu Huichen, who was very panicked, and after hearing this, she smiled bitterly. Does she still have the right to say no?

"I, Guo Jie, keep my word. The girl helped me out just now, and I will be rewarded in the future." The man naturally saw Chen Jiao's displeasure and said with his fists.

"Are you Guo Jie?" Chen Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard this name. She looked at the middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and was a little surprised-

Last night, something tragic happened on a computer in a dormitory in a certain province, city and school in China. After someone finished 3,000 words, he closed the document and went downstairs to buy a midnight snack. However, she chose not to save the document!!! It was so tragic!!!!
