In the capital palace, Eunuch Liu knelt on the ground and told in detail about his trip to Chu Han. Li Xin couldn't help but nodded and asked: "So, does Chu Yiqing agree to the marriage?"
Liu Yuan quickly responded: "Yes, notices have been issued now, and the date is set for the fifteenth day of next month. The emperor can rest assured this time!"
Li Li glared at Liu Yuan coldly, smiled slowly and said, "Don't worry? Why am I worried? What do you mean by that?"
Liu Yuan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "It's my servant who is clumsy in his mouth. It's my servant who is stupid in his mouth. I deserve to be beaten!" After saying that, he quickly slapped his own mouth.
"What did you say wrong again?" Li Li pulled his body back and asked coldly.
For a moment, Liu Yuan actually forgot how to answer!
"Xiao Fuzi, let someone drag him out so that you don't look like an eyesore!" Li Li said coldly.
Xiao Fuzi, who was still frightened on the side, quickly called the guards and dragged Liu Yuan out.
Outside the main hall, the little eunuch following Xiao Fuzi was so scared that he trembled and asked Xiao Fuzi in a low voice: "God... godfather, do you think the emperor... why is he angry?"
Xiao Fuzi was also in a state of anxiety at this time, and whispered: "How did I know that I am not your godfather, so I would guess the emperor's thoughts... Anyway, you have to be very alert, otherwise this head will fall off.
I don’t even know what’s going on!”
The little eunuch responded quickly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Xiao Fuzi secretly complained in his heart. In the past, it was easy for his godfather to be the chief eunuch, but now it was his turn and it was not as easy as he thought. Just like what happened just now, he couldn't figure out where Liu Yuan went wrong after thinking about it.
!
In the main hall, Li Liu glanced coldly at Xiao Fuzi, who was standing uneasily, and asked coldly: "Is there any news from Prince Huang's Mansion?"
Xiao Fuzi quickly replied: "Hou has been outside for a long time, but the emperor said he wanted to be quiet for a while..."
"Asshole, let him in quickly!" Li Li said angrily.
Xiao Fuzi was so frightened by that bastard sentence that he almost wet his pants and hurriedly went to call someone outside the hall.
The secret guard, dressed in black and inconspicuously dressed, knelt quietly in the main hall.
"Say!" Li Li said coldly.
"Reporting to the emperor, as long as they come from the palace, the servants will investigate anyone. There is nothing suspicious!" the secret guard said in a low voice.
"Is he related to Chu Han?" Li Li asked in a low voice.
"No, there is no letter sent from the palace!" The secret guard replied respectfully again.
"Did the news of the break-up of the engagement leak out?" Li Li's eyes couldn't help but darken.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Only a few people in the palace know about the divorce between the Fifth Prince and Princess Ruimin. The slaves have told them to shut up. Now outside the palace, the marriage between the Fifth Prince and Princess Ruimin is the one that is making the rounds!"
Li Li nodded with satisfaction and whispered: "Go down and continue to monitor. Remember, you would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!"
"Yes, I obey!" the secret guard responded in a low voice and quickly retreated.
Li Li curled his lips coldly and his eyes darkened.
At this moment, Xiao Fuzi sneaked into the small wooden house in the countryside carrying a basket of food.
"Godfather, Xiao Fuzi is here!" Xiao Fuzi opened the door and called in a low voice, and saw a figure sitting on the Kang mat over there.
"But what is the emperor's secret order?" Pushing open the bamboo screen, it was Su Nian who walked out.
"No, godfather, the emperor has been very angry recently. Today he killed Eunuch Liu with a cane when he went out to deliver the decree. Xiao Fuzi has been in fear all day long. He is really afraid that one day..." Xiao Fuzi put the basket on the table.
, said at a loss.
"Liu Yuan?" Su Nian curled his lips coldly, "Liu Yuan is very happy with his achievements. He thinks he knows how to figure out the holy will, but in fact, he is just adding superfluous things to his death. Little Fuzi, remember, in this palace, it is better not to do anything than to do it!
"
Xiao Fuzi was stunned and quickly responded: "Thank you godfather for reminding me, but godfather, when will you go back? Although the emperor didn't say it, he missed you very much in his heart. He woke up several times at night and called you by your name.
!”
Su Nian asked with concern: "Does the Emperor always get up at night?"
Xiao Fuzi nodded: "It took me a long time to get up before I could sleep!"
Su Nian sighed, turned around and took out a sachet from the pillow of the kang mat and put it in Xiao Fuzi's hand: "Put this under the emperor's pillow. Here are precious herbs. I asked someone to go to Dai Guo to ask for them.
It has a calming effect!”
"Daddy, why are you so concerned about the emperor? Didn't the emperor say that as long as you complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, you can go back? Why are you hiding here..." Xiao Fuzi asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Fuzi, have you forgotten what your godfather taught you when you first entered the palace? Never ask why about things in the palace!" Su Nian said with a dark look, "Also, about this sachet.
, you must also keep your mouth shut, otherwise your godfather will not be able to save your head!"
Xiao Fuzi responded quickly.
"It's getting late. Go back quickly to avoid letting the emperor find out. You also need to remember one sentence. The emperor is smarter than you see, so don't be minded. Do you understand?" Su Nian warned again,
Send Xiao Fuzi out.
Xiao Fuzi responded quickly and hurried out of the yard.
Su Nian stood in front of the wooden house, sighed quietly, took out the secret decree from his sleeve, and couldn't help frowning again, "Did the Emperor really know something in this letter or was it just a test? Xiaofuzi, oh, Xiaofuzi, don't
Speaking of you, even if I are your godfather, I can’t guess the emperor’s thoughts!”
At this time, there was no news from Changchun Palace after waiting for half a month, and Xianhua couldn't bear it any longer.
"How?" Seeing Chongwen come in, Xianhua asked anxiously.
Chongwen shook his head.
"It's so strange. Didn't he see the letter?" Xianhua frowned in confusion.
"Your Majesty, this move is too risky. My subordinates said..." Chongwen only said half of what he said when he saw Shame Hua wave her hands coldly, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense!
"
Chongwen had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"No, I have to write another letter. I don't believe him..." She suddenly stood up and walked around uneasily.
"Empress!" Chongwen stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and whispered: "Hua'er..."
"Pah!" A five-finger handprint immediately appeared on Chongwen's face, and Xianhua stared at him coldly, "I said you are not allowed to call me that!"
Chongwen slowly let go of Xianhua's arm, lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Chongwen just wants to ask your Majesty to calm down, and you must not take any more risks! Now that the Fifth Prince is imprisoned, it is a great opportunity for the Crown Prince.
There is no need to worry about people who no longer exist. As long as the emperor's health gets worse and worse and the princess gives birth to a grandson, then someone in the court will naturally ask the emperor to hand over his power!"
Shame Hua looked at him coldly, her eyes flashing: "The emperor's health is getting worse?"
Chongwen nodded: "Previously, the Imperial Hospital was staffed by the Fifth Prince, but now they are all replaced by our people. All we need to do is make a slight move in the medicine that the Emperor drinks every day..."
"Don't forget, there is also a ghost doctor named Lei Ting!" Xianhua said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that Hu Tu, the former Cavalry General, had secretly entered and exited the palace. I believe that the Fifth Prince has also begun to rebel. If the Fifth Prince knows about Concubine Qing's death..." Chongwen's face
There was a hint of cruelty in the words, "He may not be willing to help the emperor when the time comes!"
Shameful Flower pondered for a moment and nodded: "Do as you say!"
Chongwen responded quickly.
In Jingyang Palace, Li Yu entered the study, but he did not expect that someone was already waiting in the study.
"Who?" Li Yu's eyes darkened and he frowned warily. Just as he was about to call someone, he saw the person slowly looking back and smiling: "Prince, don't be nervous, it's me!"
"Is it you?" Looking at the man's stunning face, Li Yu frowned tightly: "This is the inner courtyard of the palace, how did you get in?"
"You don't have to worry about how I came in, but your future..." Lan Yi slowly raised his lips and smiled, "Now is a good opportunity. Don't you want to get to the next level?"
Li Yu frowned: "You don't have to worry about my prince's affairs, you should take care of yourself! But my prince heard that the merchant ship seized by the pirates has returned successfully, and all the business of the major trading houses in the capital has been transferred to Chu Yi
Qing, Mr. Lan, at this time, are you still in the mood to come to my palace and talk nonsense?"
His face darkened, but he still smiled and said: "I really don't care about the small right to connect to the sea. What I care about now is your throne. You also know that between me and the fifth prince
If they don’t agree, we definitely don’t want him to sit on the throne. If the Crown Prince sits on the throne, not to mention just having access to the sea, even if it means ceding a city..."
"You are wishful thinking!" Li Yu said coldly, "You must not cede the city to me!"
"Haha!" Lan Yi sneered, "Prince, to be honest, you are really not as smart as the fifth prince. If you are so stubborn, you can only watch the throne fall into the hands of others! Prince, what do you mean?
, if this prince and the fifth prince propose this condition, will he reject this prince like you?"
Li Yu's eyes flashed and he fell silent.
"Now that the Fifth Prince is at his own peril, this is your opportunity, Prince. Do you want to lose this great opportunity in vain?" Lan was a little moved when he saw Li Yu, and couldn't help but take a step forward again.
Li Yu had a look of hesitation on his face.
"Prince, the opportunity waits for no one at this time. If you hesitate again, then..." Lan Yi stood up and gestured to leave.
Li Yu immediately raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll cooperate with you, but I want to know, which city do you want?"
Lan Yiyi raised his eyebrows: "Chu Han!"
Li Yu was stunned: "Chu Han? If Chu Han becomes the territory of the Luo Kingdom, then what right of access to the sea will there be? Lan Yi, you really don't do business at a loss!"
Lan Yi smiled and said: "Prince, you are overthinking. I want Chu Han because I want a woman. There is absolutely no other intention!"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "You want a woman? I don't know which woman is worthy of Prince Luo's trouble!?"
Lan Yi curled his lips coldly, "Prince, you don't need to know, you just need to say whether you agree or not?"
Li Yu still hesitated.
"Okay, it seems I should go talk to the Fifth Prince!" Lan Yi stood up slowly.
"Okay, I promise you this!" Li Yu immediately raised his eyes and said.
Lan Yi slowly raised the corners of his lips, "Very good. My people are already in the capital. The prince can order them with just this token. How about that? Am I sincere enough?"
Lan Yi placed a flying dragon token in Li Yu's hand.
Li Yu nodded.
"It's just that this is empty talk. This still needs your signature, Prince!" Lan Yi took out a document from his arms.
After Li Yu finished reading, his face turned pale and he whispered: "You are thoughtful, but once this thing falls into the hands of others..."
"The prince doesn't believe me?" Lan Yi slowly raised his eyes.
Li Yu was silent.
"I heard that the former Hussar General Hu Tu is in Pingliang. He is a confidant of the Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince. Why don't you try the power of this flying dragon jade pendant tonight?" Lan Yi said with a smile.
Li Yu's heart moved, "Okay, you wait for news about this prince!"
Lan raised his lips and smiled, then walked straight out of the study.
Li Yu frowned, called Yue Ming in and asked coldly: "How did Lan Yi get in?"
Yue Ming was stunned: "Lan Yi? Has Lan Yi been here?"
"Idiot! Send the order to the prince and strengthen the guards of Jingyang Palace. If anything goes wrong again, be careful with your heads!" Li Yu said coldly.
Yueming responded quickly.
In Prince Huang's Mansion, Tenglong hurriedly entered the study and whispered something in Li Huang's ear. Li Huang was startled, his eyes brightened, and he slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Very good, in that case, let Hu
General, please cooperate and march towards the capital, leaving Pingliang to Chu Huan!"
"Yes!" Tenglong hurriedly went to do it.
Li Huang paused and called Lei Ting in a low voice, who quickly came in from the door.
"Those people are still guarding outside the house?" Li Huang asked in a low voice.
Lei Lei nodded: "General Hu almost leaked his whereabouts last time. It seems that the emperor is determined to imprison you this time!"
Li Huang breathed a sigh of relief slowly and looked out the window. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the red leaves on the branches were so bright and beautiful that people were distracted. "Where is Chu Han?" He asked in a low voice, "Has the news been sent out?
"
"My subordinate has just received the news that Miss Chu has decided to recruit a bride according to the order, and the time will be on the 15th of next month!" Lei Lei whispered, looking up at Li Huang's expression uneasily.
The previous composure collapsed in an instant, and Li Huang lost consciousness again, but quickly calmed down: "She has no choice when it comes to the Holy Purpose! It seems that we have to speed up the pace, before the 15th of next month!"
Lei Lei said in a dull voice: "But Master, it's not worth it for me to do this for you. You have obviously written a letter to Miss Chu and explained the current situation. Miss Chu can obviously delay the time. Even if she cannot disobey the imperial edict, she does not need to knock on the door."
The gongs and drums were playing to let people know that she was looking for a bride. Her subordinates had already seen the notice, which was posted all over the capital now. The notice clearly stated that she wanted to find a father for Master A Bao... Master, you are obviously A Bao.
Bao's biological father, isn't Miss Chu trying to force you to do this?"
Li Huang was startled and asked in a low voice: "Where is the notice?"
Lei Lei hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of red paper from his sleeve, opened it, smoothed out the wrinkles, and placed it in front of Li Huang.
After reading the above content carefully, Li Huang couldn't help but frown: "Jingdad Conference? How could this happen? Doesn't Yiqing have a letter from me? Call Tenglong!"
Lei Lei quickly said: "Master, don't worry, didn't Tenglong go to Pingliang? He just left!"
"Chase him back and find someone else responsible for his trip to Pingliang!" Li Huang whispered.
"Master, you have forgotten that now only an outsider like Tenglong can leave the palace!" Lei Lei whispered.
Li Huang stood up hurriedly: "Then what is going on? I clearly wrote a letter telling Yiqing about my breakup, so how could Yiqing..."
Lei Lei whispered again: "Concubine Qing sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that she no longer lives in Chu Mansion and has found a new place. Sir, tell me, is it Miss Chu..."
"Impossible! How could Yiqing drive her away when she knew she had nowhere to go? There must be a misunderstanding!" Li Huang walked around the room irritably.
"Alright, calm down. This is the end of the month. We still have time until next month. You..." Lei Ting quickly advised, fearing that Li Huang would make a mess and make the wrong decision.
"I will write another letter, and you will deliver it personally!" Li Huang whispered, "Didn't Ruimin ask you to come to the palace to see a doctor earlier? You should take advantage of the opportunity to deliver the letter!"
Lei Lei could only nod his head sadly.
Li Huang quickly wrote the letter, and after finishing it, he put it in his pocket and handed it to Lei Lei, "This letter is very important. You must hand it to Yi Qing personally. If you can't complete the task, you can
There’s no need to come back!”
"Sir, you can rest assured that my subordinates know this!" Lei Ting took the kit and went out, sighing, "Sir, I'm afraid that Lei Ting won't have much time to serve you. I'll see if you can still find someone like me, Lei Ting.
Subordinates who work hard without complaining!"
Lei Lei sighed, went into the house, picked up the medicine box and went to the door of the house.
"Enter the palace to treat Princess Ruimin!" he said with a flat mouth.
"Master Lei, please, the sedan sent by the princess to pick you up has been waiting for a long time!" The guard sent from the palace immediately smiled and asked Lei Lei to get on the sedan.
Lei Lei was sitting in the sedan chair. He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Princess Ruimin's unreasonable request. He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Master, master, I am doing this all for you!"
In a simple and unpretentious house in Liuye Town, Chuhan, Luping glanced at the yard and shouted to Concubine Qing at the door: "Auntie, this yard is too small, with only two rooms. Look, this
I turned around and arrived at the door. There was only a table, a bed and a few wicker chairs inside, and there were mosquitoes everywhere. How could anyone live here? How about we stay in an inn?"
Concubine Qing, with a veil on her head and ordinary women's clothes, entered the door with a small bundle on her shoulder. She looked at the yard carefully and said with a smile: "The small one is a bit small, but it's enough for the two of us."
, and it’s secluded here and doesn’t attract anyone’s attention!”
Luping hurriedly ran into the house and took out a bamboo cane chair. She wiped it clean carefully and put it at the door. She said: "Auntie, it's shady here. You can lie down first. I'll clean it up. After it's done, you can come back."
Come in!"
Concubine Qing agreed and sat down on the half-old wicker chair, looking up at the sky from the narrow and far-reaching alley.
Lu Ping took the broom in the corner and swept the small yard, and murmured in a low voice: "Come out when you come out. We have money. It would be great to buy a yard bigger than Chu Mansion. How can we live in this kind of house?"
place!"
Concubine Qing pretended not to hear, but tightly covered the baggage on her chest with her hands.
After a while, Lu Ping cleaned up the small yard, went into the house again, covered all the beds with bedding, wiped the table and wicker chairs clean, and then let Concubine Qing come in.
Concubine Qing took one look and smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age! Whoever marries you in the future will be really lucky!"
Luping blushed and said with a smile: "My aunt is teasing me again!"
Concubine Qing entered the room, sat down, and said again: "Ping'er, I'm hungry too, look at what's there to eat!"
Luping quickly agreed, took the rice and noodles in the bag and went to the small stove in the yard to light a fire to cook.
Listening to Lu Ping's cough outside because of the fire, Qing Fei sighed quietly and whispered: "I punish myself, but I pitied the child Lu Ping!" She opened the bag, and there was a letter lying in the bag.
, it says Chu Yiqing’s personal greeting.
"Huang'er, don't blame Concubine Mother. Concubine Mother just wants to break your heart, but Concubine Mother feels guilty and can't face that person every day!" Concubine Qing sighed faintly and took the flint from the baggage.
, I tried to burn the letter, but in the end I couldn't do it.
In a house in Chu Hancheng, Mu Ying, dressed as the shopkeeper, walked quickly into the lobby. In the lobby, the white lady was closing her eyes and concentrating.
"Master, the princess has been ordered to choose a husband. The notice has been posted, saying it is the fifteenth day of next month!" Muying said in a low voice.
The white lady suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of surprise: "Are you telling the truth?"
Muying nodded: "It's absolutely true!"
"So, the bad relationship between the princess and Prince Huang is over?" The white lady curled up and trembled with excitement.
"My subordinates have received news that Prince Nahuang will marry Princess Ruimin!" Muying said in a low voice.
"Princess Ruimin? Is it her?" White Snake was stunned.
"Yes, Emperor Dai loves this princess the most. I heard that he will give her the four cities of Yanjing as a dowry!" Muying whispered.
"The four cities of Yanjing?" White Lady raised her eyebrows, "The four cities of Yanjing are also decided by that coward emperor?"
Muying added: "Guard Diao sent news that the princess found a poisonous weed that might be able to cure leprosy. Now he has been escorted to the island by Guard Diao!"
The white lady nodded: "Finally, I was right about this child. She is really different from her grandmother and mother! In this case, let's help her find a suitable husband!"
Muying was stunned: "Master, how can I help with this matter?"
White Snake sneered: "We have followed Emperor Dai for a long enough time. Now that we are all princesses, it's time to be independent!"
Mu Ying was stunned and immediately understood what Madam White Lady meant. She nodded and said, "I'll do it now!"
"Go, I have important things to do!" White Snake smiled slowly, "I want to give the princess a big gift!"
Since the notice was sent out, Chu Yiqing has calmed down. Now he is sitting with Abao in the flower hall. Yingqian and Yingrun are fanning themselves on both sides. There is a freshly cut watermelon in front of them. The flesh of the melon is bright red.
Yes, just looking at it makes you want to eat.
"Okay, stop fanning. There are ice cubes in this room, and a shed has been built outside to block the sun. A small door has been opened in the back. The wind blowing in the hall is very cool, and it is not too hot. Sit down and eat some.
Let's go!" Chu Yiqing waved his hands towards Yingqian and Yingrun.
Yingqian and Yingrun knew that Chu Yiqing was sincere, so they didn't stick to the etiquette. They thanked him and put down their fans, went up to get the watermelon and ate it.
"Boss Shangguan is really thoughtful. Ever since he entered this hot summer, he has asked people to deliver two large buckets of ice cubes every day. It is enough for the flower hall, the lady, and the old lady's house. It can also suppress the watermelon!" Yingrun ate while eating!
He said with a smile.
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, put down the melon rind and said, "Save this melon rind to make vinegar-based melon rind at noon, it tastes good too!"
Yingqian responded quickly and secretly glared at Yingrun, but Yingrun suddenly didn't know what she said wrong and just looked at Yingqian blankly.
"A Bao, let's go practice. I've been away for a few days, but I don't know how much your internal strength has improved. I want to check it carefully today!" Chu Yiqing picked up the brocade handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the corners of A Bao's mouth.
watermelon stains, whispered.
Abao nodded, put down the melon peel, and pulled Chu Yiqing away.
When Yingqian saw Chu Yiqing and Abao leaving, she complained to Yingrun in a low voice: "I can't stop your mouth even if I eat!"
Yingrun put down the half-eaten watermelon and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong?"
"Recently, I don't know who is responsible for it. I actually mentioned that Boss Shangguan came to the village to hire people with betrothal gifts. It spread a lot in the town. Some people even said that our young lady would go to work for Boss Shangguan.
Yeah!" Ying Qian dropped the melon peel and her face turned red with anger, "Don't look at the young lady smiling at all, but she must be feeling unhappy in her heart. Think about it, although the young lady usually has a tough talk, she is not interested in my thoughts.
Others don’t understand, but we don’t understand? Now that I want to marry the princess of Dai State, what does it mean that the young lady has done so much for me? If I were a young lady, I might as well have married the boss of Shangguan!"
Only then did Yingrun realize that she was wrong, and whispered: "Miss, would you really think so?"
Yingqian glared at her: "Anyway, it's better to say less about Boss Shangguan!"
Yingrun nodded quickly.
Yingqian stood up and said, "I'll punish you by cleaning up the melon skin!"
Yingrun went to do it with a smile.
In Lan Mansion, Lan Die walked around the house anxiously. When he saw his mother coming in, he quickly asked: "Is there any news from Shangguan Mansion?"
The slave's mother shook her head and said: "Miss, I think your efforts are in vain. Mrs. Shangguan is pregnant now. So what if she hears those rumors? Can she still take the child and leave?"
Lan Die said coldly: "I don't believe that Helian Bingshuang won't be jealous. Did you not hear it?"
The slave mother was silent and did not answer.
"Tomorrow, send two people into the house to coordinate among the little maids. I don't believe she can be so calm!" Lan Die said again.
