Empress Chu

She called him Mr.

Deng Yi didn't object and didn't care about her address, he said, "It's just that you haven't reached this position, so there's no need to tell you these things."

Chu Zhao thought that he had been to this position before, and shook his head again, no, she was the queen in that life, which was different from the current queen. The queen in that life was attached to Xiao Xun, but in this life, she wanted to come by herself.

The location is indeed different.

Chu Zhao drank the fruit tea again, and said, "I'm here today to thank Mr., Mr. is here, so Ah Zhao can go with peace of mind."

After all, he got up and went out.

Xiaoman followed closely behind.

Don't worry, she trusts him that much?Deng Yi sat in front of the table without getting up, picked up the chopsticks and ate the food slowly.

……

……

As Chu Zhao walked in the palace, the eunuchs around him dispersed, and only she and Xiaoman were left. They stepped into the corridor between the high palace walls, and darkness engulfed them.

In the darkness, Chu Zhao took off the red hairpin on his head, took off his ring, and took off his gorgeous dress, revealing the neat luggage inside.

Of course she knew that it would be futile to see her father if she could not bring the dead back to life. It would do nothing but comfort her soul.

However, what Deng Yi didn't know was that she had died once in exchange for this futile thing.

If you can achieve your wish, it will be worth dying again.

A person's life is short and difficult, and being able to achieve one's wish is already the greatest luck.

Chapter 34 Behind

Xie's house is lit up in the autumn night.

After Xie Yanfang took a bath, she sat indoors with loose hair and homely clothes, looking at the paper in front of her. Behind her were silent maids who gently dried his hair.

There is an aroma of green oranges in the room.

The papers in front of him had not been turned over for a long time, Cai Bo hurried in with the lights flickering.

"My lord," he said, "The empress has left the capital."

Xie Yanfang raised her head to look at the sky outside, and said, "Sure enough, it's this kind of temper, if you say go, leave immediately."

Cai Bo's expression was complicated: "I really don't understand Miss Chu."

She kept her secrets hidden, emerged suddenly, won the position of empress, and ascended the throne together with His Majesty. At such a young age, this empress looked very good, even very sophisticated, but at the most critical moment, she suddenly left the capital. Everything to see the father.

"What on earth is she thinking?"

Xie Yanfang said: "What she does is what she thinks, Miss Ah Zhao, she is pure and sincere."

She is neither secretive nor naive, she does whatever she wants, and she must do whatever she wants.

Just like him.

Xie Yanfang stretched out her hand to turn over a page of the book, looked at the book, and continued.

"Besides, she didn't just leave with a feverish mind. She was also ready."

She held a banquet so that the female family members of the aristocratic family could see her, and even went to the main hall to sit with the emperor, which made everyone even more impressed.

not to mention--

Xie Yanfang smiled.

"With me in the capital, she can go wherever she wants."

Cai Bo also smiled, and turned on the lights on the table: "Yes, with the help of the third son, she has nothing to worry about."

Having said that, he paused again.

"Since Miss Chu is not in the palace, let Seventh Madam take care of His Majesty."

Xie Yanfang shook her head: "No." Then she said, "It's not suitable."

"Why is it inappropriate?" Uncle Cai was displeased, "She is not in the palace now, Ayu is still young, and there are no relatives in the palace. As his aunt, it is reasonable for Mrs. Seven to take care of her."

Xie Yanfang smiled and nodded: "It's reasonable for us, but not for others."

"What? Ms. Chu will say no?" Cai Bo raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "She was in the palace before, but we didn't say anything, we didn't mention anything, except you, the family didn't visit His Majesty. This level is enough to respect her, now she is the one who left the palace, she is not in the palace, as His Majesty's only relatives, can't we even take care of His Majesty?"

Xie Yanfang looked at the angry old servant and knew that it was not only Cai Bo, but also the accumulated anger of the entire Xie family in Dongyang.

Since the incident, the elders of the family have come to the capital three times, once when the prince and concubine passed away, once when Xiao Yu ascended the throne, and one month after Xiao Yu ascended the throne, once again——

He stopped him three times.

Although the elders in the clan obeyed, they must be dissatisfied.

"What did grandpa write to you again?" He laughed, "Let the old man tell me directly if he has something to say. I'm not the kind of unfilial son who doesn't listen to the old man."

Cai Bo snorted: "Are you listening to the old man? You let the old man listen to you every time, and none of them dare to talk to you."

Xie Yanfang laughed, and before Cai Bo spoke, she said, "Teacher Deng will not agree."

Cai Bo was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "Why does he disagree!"

"It's because he's the Grand Tutor, and it's up to him to oversee the country." Xie Yanfang said slowly, "The Grand Tutor lost his temper because the Empress was leaving, and that temper was because the Empress' leaving the court would bring him trouble."

"The trouble is that Mrs. Xie will seize the opportunity to occupy the inner palace."

"We are Ah Yu's maternal ancestral family, and we are his only close relatives, but the Xie family is not the only one in the Xiao Dynasty. Believe it or not, we send people in at the front foot. No, at this moment, Taifu Deng has also passed away. Picking people."

"Even if he can't stop us from sending people in, he won't make us happy."

Cai Bo sat back slowly.

"We sent Aunt Seven, Deng Yi also sent people in, and others took the opportunity to stir up trouble, so what will it be like in the harem?"

"There are so many people competing in the harem, which is the worst for Ah Yu. He is still young, a child, and we can't bear even the slightest accident."

The anger in Cai Bo's eyes dissipated, and his expression was a little uneasy.

"What we have to do now is not to compete with anyone for Ayu." Xie Yanfang said softly, "It is to let Ayu grow up in peace, tie his hair and govern himself, that's enough."

Cai Bo let out a long sigh, and saluted Xie Yanfang: "My lord, this old slave is impulsive."

Xie Yanfang smiled and said, "Because I'm a close relative, I'm impulsive, no wonder."

Cai Bo raised his head and snorted again: "Look, it's useless for the old man to write me a letter. I'm different. I was persuaded by you, son, and listened to your words."

Xie Yanfang laughed: "Then what are you waiting for? Uncle Cai, hurry up and write a reply to your grandfather."

Cai Bo got up with a helpless smile and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at the young master sitting in the room.

"What are you looking at?" Du Qiban, who was leaning against the wall and holding his long sword, closed his eyes and said, "Lao Cai, no matter how much you look at it, no young master can understand it."

Uncle Cai snorted: "Not only am I not as clear as the young master, I am also not as clear as that Miss Chu. With the young master around, she really has nothing to worry about."

Miss Chu is really lucky to have the young master protect her.

Cai Bo paused again, or in other words, so that the young master had to protect each other - while thinking, the night outside was a little noisy, and the night wind brought faint laughter of women.

Cai Bo frowned: "Which yard is this? What's so lively in the middle of the night?"

Du Qi still half-closed his eyes, only moved his ears, and said, "Of course it's our Young Master Yanlai."

In addition to Miss Chu, there is also this Xie Yanlai, who also made the young master have to protect each other, Cai Boying frowned——

The rest of the Xie family were not allowed to enter the palace, so he followed the third son in and out, and saw with his own eyes how enthusiastic the little emperor was towards Xie Yanlai.

The little emperor smiled when he saw Xie Yanlai several times, raised his head and called uncle.

Who would have thought that one more person in the Xie family would be called uncle by the emperor.

Of course, he also knew why. In such a critical moment, Xie Yanlai guarding the imperial city appeared in the eyes of children. For children who suddenly lost their parents like a lonely bird, it was a life-saving straw and a towering tree. this person.

The same is true for Miss Chu.

Time is fate, these two unremarkable people leap into the sky.

There is also that Deng Yi, no one would believe that the first emperor went crazy, and he dumped the burden of the whole country on this palace official.

Cai Bo let out a long breath, and condensed his eyes again.

People's life is not based on luck, let's see how long these people can be lucky.

Because of the national mourning, the nightly performances of the sons of the Xie family's deep house were nowhere to be seen, but Xie Yanlai, who had always been quiet, was lively from time to time.

Xie Yanlai strode out, surrounded by maidservants.

Someone was holding tea, "Young Master Yanlai, take another sip of tea."

Someone handed me a piece of fruit, "Sir Yan Lai, eat a pear."

Someone held a brocade belt, "Master, let's change to this one, it's a new one."

Xie Yan did not refuse anyone who came, took a sip of tea, walked with the pear in his hand while eating, and at the same time stretched out his hands to ask the maid to change the belt——

Coupled with the maidservants carrying lamps all around, the bustle and bustle was like a ball of flames, blocking the winding path of Xie's house.

The faces of the young masters walking across the path were ugly.

"Xie Yanlai." The leader Xie Xiao shouted, "At night you—"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yan looked at him and scolded, "Bold, why are you talking to me!"

Xie Xiao's face became even uglier, and the rest of his words were cut off.

But Xie Yanlai didn't spare him, and said coldly, "Say it again!"

Xie Xiao's face was livid, and he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Uncle Jiu."

Xie Yanlai smiled slightly: "Good boy, my nephew." He loosened his hand as he spoke, and the unfinished pear fell onto the shoe. He lowered his head and frowned, "My shoes are dirty, Xie Xiao, wipe them for uncle. wipe."

Xie Xiao jumped up angrily: "Xie Yanlai, don't think that you are bullying people now that you have gained power—"

The others didn't jump up, Xie Yanlai lifted her foot and kicked, the rest turned into screams, Xie Xiao rolled to the ground.

The young masters around him were caught off guard and were almost hit. There was a commotion, and they all shouted, "Xie Yanlai, what are you doing!"

Xie Yanlai walked towards them step by step, with a smile on his face and a slow figure, but for some reason the young people felt the cold light glaring——

This kid was killed from the imperial city that night of turmoil, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless people, more than Xie Yanfang.

He has killed many people, and now he is in charge of the imperial guards, and all the soldiers and horses in the capital are under his command——

Xie Yanlai raised her foot to step on Xie Xiao, leaned over and curled her mouth, her phoenix eyes smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about, I used to bully people when I was not in power."

After finishing speaking, he turned his feet, twisted and wiped Xie Xiao's clothes, then retracted them and strode away past him.

"Now that I have gained power, of course I have to bully people even more!"

The maidservants passed these young masters and continued to surround Xie Yan with the sound of Yingying and Yanyan.

The sons helped Xie Xiao up, and Xie Xiao scolded a series of words: "This bastard, this bastard, this scoundrel, this villain—let's see how long he can be proud!"

……

……

In front of the gate, whether they were patrolling the night or guarding the courtyard, when they saw Xie Yan coming, they all saluted and retreated without asking a single word.

The porter ran to open the door, led the horse, and seven or eight attendants gathered to wait, but there were already twenty or thirty soldiers standing outside the door.

The maidservants watched Xie Yanlai get on the horse, reluctant to let go, "Master, you can't rest at night."

Xie Yanlai laughed: "What are you resting for? While I'm gaining power, of course you can show off your power!" After saying that, he flicked his horsewhip and walked towards the dark street.

The entourage and soldiers followed closely with torches, and the whole street trembled like thunder, and then spread to half the city——

Everyone who was sleeping deep at night was awakened. There was commotion in the house, there was panic and anger, but when the identity of the speeding person was spied on the street, it immediately fell into silence again.

"Xie Jiakuro."

"Xie Yanfang's younger brother."

"That's Xie Yan."

"Now the Yang family and the Zhao family are gone, and his family is the emperor's only uncle."

"One door puts on two doors—"

"A few days ago, an adult blocked Xie Jiu's way on the street, so Xie Jiu raised his hand and hit him—"
