Zhao Chen suddenly felt that the round-faced maid in front of him was quite cute.
Although on the surface he was telling him not to climb over the wall, he was actually telling Zhao Chen that Xue Wanche was not at the house today.
If you want to meet Miss Xue, today is a good opportunity.
This girl is quite interesting!
Zhao Chen thought to himself and shouted to Xiao Cui: "Miss Xiao Cui, thank you very much!"
Xiaocui waved her hand, turned around and disappeared around the corner.
After finding a suitable place to stay, Zhao Chen climbed over the wall and landed firmly in the courtyard of Xue Mansion.
There are many flowers and plants in Xue Mansion's courtyard, which makes it a good place to avoid people.
Fortunately, there are not too many servants in the Xue Mansion.
Perhaps Xue Wanche would not have thought that someone would dare to climb over the wall of their house, so the guards inside Xue Mansion were not very strict.
Only occasionally you can see a few maids hurrying past.
Zhao Chen was a little confused.
Xue's mansion is so big, there's no way he can run around in it.
This can be easily discovered.
"Give me this pastry. I'll deliver it to the lady. I'm on my way." When Zhao Chen was in trouble, he heard Xiao Cui's voice.
Zhao Chen followed the sound and saw Xiao Cui walking in front of him carrying a plate of pastries.
The maid just now also left.
"Mr. Zhao, come this way with me. Miss has cleared everyone away." Xiao Cui stood on the spot and said.
Miss Xue?
Zhao Chen frowned.
Walking out of the corner, Zhao Chen came to Xiaocui's side.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry. Xiaocui can't hide anything from the lady, so... the lady invites you to come over and meet." Xiaocui and Zhao Chen said.
After all, she is Miss Xue's maid, so Zhao Chen can understand if he talks to Miss Xue about this.
However, Miss Xue knew clearly that she was coming, so instead of looking for someone to drive her out, she wanted to meet her.
This Miss Xue family is probably unusual.
"I still want to thank you." Zhao Chen and Xiao Cui smiled.
No matter what, it was with Xiaocui's help that he was able to meet Miss Xue's family.
Xiao Cui smiled and walked in front.
"Miss, Mr. Zhao is here." At the pavilion in the backyard, Miss Xue's family looked at the storybook in her hand and slowly raised her head when she heard Xiao Cui's voice.
"Mr. Zhao, please sit down." Miss Xue and Zhao Chen extended their hands to invite, and then spoke to Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, please go down and have a rest."
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Cui nodded and left.
Only Zhao Chen and Miss Xue's family were left in the pavilion.
"Mr. Zhao, let's have a cup of tea. Although it is not as good as Mr. Zhao's craftsmanship, it can still quench your thirst." Miss Xue and Zhao Chen poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took it, took a sip, and put down the cup.
"Miss Xue is very good at her craftsmanship. If I search the entire Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the second person." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Miss Xue didn't answer, but took out the storybook she had just read.
"Mr. Zhao, your book Stone Chronicles is excellent. I have read it many times."
"Although I can't recite the plot in detail, I remember it all in my heart. But every time I read it again, I have a different experience."
"Mr. Zhao, you said that as soon as Jia Yuanchun died, the Jia family was immediately ransacked." Miss Xue put the storybook on the table and asked Zhao Chen slowly.
Zhao Chen looked at Miss Xue and knew why she asked this question.
Li Yuanji is like Jia Yuanchun, and their Xue family is like the Jia family.
When Li Yuanji was around, the Xue family could still call the shots.
Something happened to Li Yuanji, and the Xue family naturally became a lost cause.
He had to worry about punishment from the emperor all the time.
"Jia Yuanchun was just a victim of the harem fight. Although the Jia family was confiscated during this fight."
"But nothing big happened later. Although the glory of the Jia family lives up to its past, it is still well-known in Jinling City." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
After listening to this, Miss Xue's face looked much better than before.
Zhao Chen knew what she meant, and she could understand Zhao Chen's words.
"The one who fell down is the old subordinate of His Highness King Qi. In these years, King Qi lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, and his life was not very good."
"Some time ago, His Highness King Qi sent a letter saying that he wanted to visit Chang'an City."
"Goed to Chang'an?" Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment.
If Li Yuanji was in Chang'an, wouldn't their trip be in vain?
"Yes." Miss Xue nodded.
"As for why His Highness Prince Qi went to Chang'an, he didn't tell us." Miss Xue continued.
Zhao Chen frowned.
Li Yuanji went to Chang'an, but they had no news at all.
If Li Yuanji is still in Chang'an, it will be meaningless for them to search here.
"Have Miss Xue met King Qi?" Zhao Chen asked.
If Miss Xue family has seen Li Yuanji, she can find traces of Li Yuanji in Chang'an.
"I haven't seen him before. I just help dad manage correspondence."
"Dad probably hasn't seen His Highness King Qi for a long time. I just remember that Daddy said that His Highness King Qi's appearance has changed a lot from the past."
"The whole person looks extremely old, not what he should look like at that age." Miss Xue shook her head.
The news that King Li Yuanji of Qi is alive is not a trivial matter. How could he meet anyone casually?
"Extremely old?" Zhao Chen looked at Miss Xue family doubtfully.
I don’t quite understand the specific meaning of her adjective.
"That's what dad said. He said that someone who knew King Qi before couldn't recognize him at all."
"Mr. Zhao, it has been so many years. Does the emperor still want to kill everyone?" Miss Xue asked what she was most worried about.
She and her father Xue Wanche were worried that the emperor came to look for Li Yuanji's traces this time and was here to kill them all.
Xue Wanche could refuse to say anything about Li Yuanji.
But Miss Xue's family was worried that the emperor would blame Xue Wanche in the future.
Therefore, he wanted to get the information about Li Yuanji and save his father.
"No, the emperor doesn't mean what you think." Zhao Chen shook his head.
He still believed in Lao Li Tou.
Since Old Li Tou said that he didn't want to kill Li Yuanji, it shouldn't be the case.
Although Lao Litou was usually shameless and shameless, he would not tell such a lie to himself.
"Mr. Zhao, you really believe in the emperor." Miss Xue family looked at Zhao Chen with an indescribable feeling in her eyes.
"Yes, I believe him!" Zhao Chen looked at Miss Xue and nodded.
Zhao Chen believed in Lao Li Tou.
No matter how outrageous Old Li Tou is, his heart for the people of the world is genuine.
As long as Lao Litou is willing to be kind to himself, he will not spend money on Sosou.
The emperor wants money and enjoyment, that's just the meaning of a sentence.
But Lao Li didn't have any, not even a hair in his private treasury.
The emperor did not have any thoughts of searching with the people.
This is why Zhao Chen has been helping him.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, and the people's lives are slowly getting better, thanks to Zhao Chen's contribution, but the bigger reason is that the emperor attaches great importance to the people.
Otherwise, no matter how many inventions and novelties are invented, they will not reach the hands of the people.
Miss Xue didn't expect Zhao Chen to answer her so firmly.
In my heart, I couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.??
