Empress Chu

"Stop talking nonsense." He yelled in a low voice, "Go in quickly."

Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "It's so inconvenient at night——"

Deputy Zhong jumped Scar, and said in a low voice: "Your nephew is inside, and your nephew is looking for you. What's the inconvenience?" After saying that, he grabbed the boy's arm and swung it inward.

I wanted to kick again, but the action was a step slower, and the kid had already jumped away with big strides.

Deputy General Zhong stared at the boy's back, and snorted in his heart, the young lady came to him for His Royal Highness, this boy had better not be sentimental.

Chapter 6 Whispers

Xie Yanlai was standing in front of the harem, and just about to ask the guards to inform him, when several eunuchs saw him, they greeted him happily.

"Master Ninth is here." They said, "Please hurry up."

Xie Yanlai was surrounded to enter, the hall was brightly lit, and one could see Chu Zhao sitting in front of the table and eating supper with Xiao Yu at a glance.

Seeing Xie Yan coming, Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Ah Jiu is here."

Xiao Yu also looked over and called out, "Uncle."

Xie Yanlai leaned over and saluted: "Your Highness."

"Have you eaten yet?" Chu Zhao asked, pointing to the side, "Sit down and have supper together."

Xiao Yu also nodded: "Let's eat together, Uncle."

Xie Yan came to see Chu Zhao and said, "The final general will keep the capital safe and sound outside, and all three meals will be served in time, so there is no need to worry, Your Highness."

Xiao Yu was still a child, and could understand Xie Yanlai's refusal, but he didn't quite understand why he refused, so he also looked at Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao understood that Xie Yanlai was scolding her - he was asked to come in just to eat and drink?

"Mr. Xie." She said, "I called you here, because Ayu and I have something to tell you."

Xie Yan came and said: "Your Highness, please give me instructions."

Chu Zhao looked around: "Go down."

The eunuchs and maids responded and withdrew like water, leaving only the three of them in the hall.

Chu Zhaodao: "This matter is kept secret for the time being, and few people know about it."

After saying this, he saw the young man facing him raised his phoenix eyes, and took a step back, as if this was definitely not a good thing——

She couldn't help poofing a laugh.

Xie Yanlai looked at her and said nothing, and after entering the door, he said a little Highness, which sounded respectful, but his expression and posture were the same as before in front of her, without the slightest respect.

Chu Zhao closed his smile, glanced at Xiao Yu, then at Xie Yanlai, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty will marry me and my little Highness—"

Xie Yanzi thought that seeing Chu Zhao in front of the city gate was already the biggest accident of his life, but he didn't expect that after a night and a day passed, he heard incredible words again.

"Chu Zhao you!" He couldn't help shouting.

What the hell are you talking about!

He looked at Xiao Yu, this child is only six years old!

Xiao Yu stood up with a serious expression: "Uncle, it's true, the imperial grandfather asked Sister Chu to marry me."

"What do you know, kid?" Xie Yanlai said angrily, pointing at Chu Zhao, "Come here."

He turned and took a few steps aside.

Chu Zhao comforted Xiao Yu in a low voice: "Your uncle is scared, I'll go and talk to him slowly." He put a bowl of rice in front of Xiao Yu, "You eat first."

Xiao Yu nodded. Although he didn't know much about marriage and marriage, he knew that sister Chu would be with him forever, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and ate with great mouthfuls.

……

……

Xie Yanlai stood still behind the pillar, looking at the girl who followed.

"Chu Zhao." He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how ridiculous this is? He's only six years old!"

Chu Zhao stretched out his hand, did the math, and said, "I am seven years older than your Highness." She touched her face, "In another ten years, Ah Yu will grow up. -"

She looked at Xie Yanlai with sparkling eyes.

"So, Ah Jiu, are you worried about me?"

Xie Yanlai regretted not sitting down for a sip of tea just now, otherwise she would be able to spray this damn girl all over her face now.

Now he can only reach out and point at Chu Zhao.

"Don't be glib with me." He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and stopped talking nonsense with the girl, "Is it because of those soldiers? So His Majesty wants to give you a marriage?"

The boy's eyes are deep.

He led these soldiers and horses to guard the gate of the imperial city all night, cleared up the rebellion in the city, and finally stationed at the four gates of the capital. He already knew very clearly that these soldiers and horses did not belong to the Imperial Army, nor did they belong to the Beijing camp.

Who would have thought that there was such a team hiding in the capital, and the one who obeyed the order was Chu Ling who had disappeared in the capital as far away as the border county.

If they had known earlier, the crown prince and the third prince would not dare to act hastily, or in other words, they would fight for this team first.

So now, the emperor suddenly married His Highness and Chu Zhao, probably because of this team.

Ah Jiu is such a thoughtful person, Chu Zhao looked at him and said with a smile, "That's His Majesty's army."

Xie Yanlai snorted and raised her eyebrows: "The soldiers and horses are in the hands of your father."

Chu Zhao nodded: "That's true. Actually, I don't even know about it." Having said that, she raised eyebrows and took a step closer to Xie Yan, "It was only when Eunuch Qi and Uncle Zhong met last night that I knew that my father's hand There is a army of soldiers controlled by His Majesty and him alone, these soldiers are hiding everywhere in the border counties and the capital, and obey my father's mobilization."

Although they met last night first, this was the first time they had a chance to talk carefully since last night, and Chu Zhao told Xie Yanlai the matter in one breath.

"Because of my father's identity, Eunuch Qi came to our house with His Royal Highness. Although the prince of Zhongshan didn't know that my father had soldiers and horses in his hands, he guessed that my father's identity was different, so he also stared at my house. After the whereabouts of the little highness, I still have to persuade my uncle to kill the little highness."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Yanlai looked around subconsciously. Chu Zhao must have never told anyone about this. Chu Lan is her uncle, and he even colluded with King Zhongshan and was motivated to kill him. Even if Chu Zhao saved Xiao Your Highness, the Chu family cannot avoid being criticized.

This is a very troublesome matter that must not be known to outsiders.

But then he frowned again, don't tell others, don't tell him either!He doesn't want to know!What has it to do with him!

"Okay, stop talking." He raised his hand to stop it, and looked at Chu Zhao, "Since you know that this is His Majesty's army, you should also know that His Majesty did this out of necessity, out of necessity, never Good thing, you better not ask for trouble."

He turned slightly sideways and looked over the pillars to see the children who were eating at the table.

"What will people in the world think of being the concubine of a six-year-old prince?"

The people will think this is absurd, and the court officials will think it is a power grab.

"What kind of scenery do you think this is?"

Of course, this is not a beautiful thing, let alone a child, in such a situation where the princes are killing each other and the country is in turmoil, when an adult crown princess, people in the world have no good ideas for her. At that time, she was stupid. I know, and no one warned her like this—she looked at Xie Yanlai and smiled: "Thank you for thinking of me."

Can't this damn girl understand?Who is thinking of her, Xie Yanlai frowned: "I am thinking of myself."

Chu Zhao chuckled: "Is it because I don't call you uncle?"

Xie Yanlai looked at her coldly.

Chu Zhao is not afraid of his cold face, there is nothing to be afraid of, he has seen the appearance of killing himself with a knife, coughed lightly: "Xie Yan, it is not that His Majesty insists on marrying me."

She looked up at the boy in front of her.

"I threatened His Majesty to marry me."

Xie Yanlai was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly——

accident?But it is not surprising.

He looked at the girl in front of him, as if he saw the Ah Fu he met at the inn, the poor little girl was the leader behind the scenes.

"Because of the soldiers?" he said.

This is the same thing as before, but when I say it now, the meaning is different.

Chu Zhao said softly: "Yes, no, as I said, this is His Majesty's army. If His Majesty is gone, it will cease to exist. If you want to control it, His Majesty must exist. Therefore, Your Highness must To succeed."

It is not unusual for the eldest grandson of the emperor to succeed to the throne, it should be a matter of course.

Xie Yanlai looked at Chu Zhao and said nothing, he knew what she meant.

Chu Zhao also looked at him: "His Royal Highness needs to secure this position. If my father and I want to get out of this, I must be the princess."

Xie Yanlai smiled, took a step back, and raised her hand as a salute: "Miss Chu is thoughtful, courageous and resourceful, I admire you, I am overthinking."

This is turning into anger from embarrassment again, putting on such a polite look, Chu Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, looking at him: "Your Majesty will announce this matter soon, but I will tell you first, so as not to scare you." your turn."

Xie Yan came and said, "What does this have to do with me? I have nothing to be scared of. Miss Chu is too worried."

Chu Zhaodao: "I didn't worry too much, I just wanted to tell you."

The girl looked at him, her eyes were big and bright, with a serious expression.

Xie Yanlai took another step back.

This thought is scary.

Chapter 7 Trivia

When night fell, Xie Yanfang returned to Xie's house.

It's not the previous Xie Zhai.

That house was the first to be surrounded and burned last night. Of course, the members of the Xie family had already left before that.

Of course, the Xie family does not have only one house in the capital.

Seeing Xie Yanfang walk in, the people in the family were excited, the third brother, the third uncle and the third son shouted indiscriminately, but there were still many Xie family children, and they were not injured at all.

Xie Yanfang was dressed in blood, and her condensed eyes softened a bit when she saw this scene. Although it was a tragic event, in this sudden chaos, the Xie family's disciples not only retreated completely, but also killed the third prince. Report any revenge on the spot.

And the people in the family looked at Third Young Master Xie with ecstasy.

The young master was dressed in blood, and his face was paler than before. Last night, the third young master Xie went out of the city, went to the hunting ground, and came back again. One can imagine how dangerous it was.

They were really worried and didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Xie Yanfang had an accident.

"It's good that you're fine." Several young people couldn't help crying.

Xie Yanfang smiled and said: "Even if I have something to do, there are you, as long as there is only one person left in the Xie family, I, Xie, will still be here, don't worry."

This made everyone even more excited.

"Third brother! How can we compare with you." "Third uncle, I only regret that we can't help you more."

Xie Yanfang said: "Everyone does their best, being able to kill the enemy with me is a help, and being able to save one's life in a chaotic battle is also a help."

Having said that, Du Qi stood up: "Okay, the third son should rest, what's the matter, let's talk about it later."

Xie Yanfang hadn't closed her eyes for a whole day and night, everyone hurriedly moved away.

Xie Yanfang passed everyone and walked inwards, and when she thought of something, she turned her head and called someone: "Seventh Uncle."

The seventh master of the Xie family hurriedly responded.

"Does Yanlai know the address of the new home?" Xie Yanfang asked.

Xie Qiye said: "I haven't told him yet. After the incident, we stayed behind closed doors. Before you came back, we didn't act rashly."

Xie Yanfang nodded, and said: "Yan Lai has made great contributions to guarding the imperial city, and now he is in charge of guarding the city gate. Please remember to tell him the address of his home, so that he does not know the door."

Xie Qiye looked surprised, and so did the others.

Xie Yanlai?

meritorious service?

Xie Yanlai is still alive?

"There is more." Xie Yanfang said again, called Uncle Cai, stretched out her hand to press her brows, and had been holding on for a day and a night. At this time, when she returned home, she was overwhelmed with exhaustion, "Order everywhere, from now on, Yan will come with me. equal treatment."

Everyone was even more shocked. It was the same as Xie Yanfang, that is, Xie Yanlai could know what Xie Yanfang could know, Xie Yanlai could appoint anyone Xie Yanfang could appoint, Xie Yanlai could also order anyone Xie Yanfang could order——

"Why should he!"

Many people blurted out.

Uncle Cai would have no doubts, Xie Yanfang did not explain to everyone, Du Qi ordered everyone to stop arguing and accompanied Xie Yanfang to leave.
