Empress Chu

Now that she speaks disrespectfully, King Zhongshan doesn't do anything to her.

In the final analysis, it is not a question of speech and attitude, but a question of whether it is possible and necessary.

Although she wished to kill Xiao Xun once and for all, she came to change her fate, not to die together.

After killing Xiao Xun, King Zhongshan had other sons, she couldn't kill all the sons of King Zhongshan's family by herself.

As long as Xiao Xun is not allowed to be the emperor.

But this is not up to her.

It would be a storm that swept through many people, and in this storm, she was really insignificant.

All she can do now is stay away from Xiao Xun, and get closer to someone who can restrain Xiao Xun, such as Deng Yi.

She glanced at Deng Yi who was walking behind, what Deng Yi and the two guards were talking about, but when she looked over, Deng Yi immediately noticed, and looked up, the sinister look in his eyes immediately reminded her of the memory of her previous life.

She squeezed out a smile and quickly looked away.

……

……

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to go to Bianjun, so Chu Zhao can only return to the capital first.

Chu Ke was in a bad mood, and he was eager to return home and was afraid of the hardships of the journey. He complained and wanted to scold Chu Zhao, but every time he opened his mouth, he was scolded by Chu Zhao. Moreover, Chu Zhao wanted to do something, and her maid Ale was also eager to fight. Chu Ke was so angry that he could only fall back to sleep.

When night fell, the station was quieter than during the day, but people still came and left from time to time.

After eating, Deng Yi stood on the porch talking to his subordinates, saw several carriages coming in, greeted Yicheng enthusiastically, and went to the stable in the backyard. The chariots and horses used are all ready, have you gone to have a look?"

Deng Yi nodded, and the Yi Cheng hurriedly led the way, leading him to the backyard.

As soon as he left, Ah Le, who was hiding in the corner, looked away and ran to the house quickly.

"Miss." She said in a low voice, "Master Deng went to see the chariots and horses."

Chu Zhao was combing his hair in front of the mirror, and asked, "Who did you go with?"

"Of course it's with Yi Cheng." A Le said, "and his guards."

The lady asked very strangely.

Chu Zhao turned his head and explained to her: "Is there anyone else, outsiders, for example, Zhongshan Palace?"

Zhongshan Palace?Ale understood a little bit: "Miss is worried that people from Zhongshan Palace will take revenge on Miss?"

Of course not, but there is no way to explain this, Chu Zhao nodded: "Yes, so, I am worried whether they will contact in private."

Ale nodded: "I understand." After saying that, he turned and left.

"Ale." Chu Zhao hurriedly called her again, "Be careful, don't be found out, I care more about your safety than doing things."

Ale was amused and happy: "Miss, don't worry." After saying that, he shook his hands and ran out briskly.

The young lady can not only lie to people now, but also say such nice things.

Chu Zhao watched A Le's figure disappear outside the door. In fact, she was only guessing. She had always thought that Deng Yi had no relationship with the Zhongshan Palace. At that time, it was the emperor's decision to choose Xiao Xun as the prince, and Deng Yi was just an executor. This time, she suddenly met Xiao Xun and Deng Yi here one after another, she always thought it was too coincidental.

And then thinking that Deng Yi dared to slap the already emperor Xiao Xun in the face——

Why can he be so insolent?Why did Xiao Xun endure the humiliation?

Did Xiao Xun become emperor because of Deng Yi?

So today when Deng Yi said that he was going to Zhongshan Wangfu, she immediately went there, just to see if there was anything between them, and Zhongshan Wang wanted to keep her and Chu Ke away—well, I don’t know why, Subconsciously, she thought that it was to distract them, to be alone with Deng Yi, so she immediately refused——

Maybe she thought too much.

But now she has to think more.

……

……

The stables of the post station are more lively than the front yard, and there are more people serving the horses than the horses. After all, horses are the main force in the post station.

Several carts entered the stables and the horses were pulled away.

"Master Deng." Yicheng stopped and said respectfully to Deng Yi, "Look at this car."

Deng Yi walked to the car, and the coachman standing beside the car opened the door, and the dim stable seemed to become brighter for a moment.

There were several boxes piled up in the car, all of which were opened at this time, and the gold, silver and jewels inside were shining brightly under the torch.

"This is the lord's thanks to you." Yi Cheng said softly.

Deng Yi studied and inspected, the light and shadow merged on his face, and then the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

"It's really generous." He said, looking at Yicheng, "Please tell the prince, I am very satisfied, thank you very much."

Chapter 26 Departure

Hearing what Deng Yi said, Yicheng and the coachman showed relaxed and joyful expressions.

"We will definitely convey it." The coachman said, "My lord wants to have a chat with your lord today, but unfortunately the timing is not right."

Deng Yi suddenly laughed, and thoughtful again. Could it be that Chu Zhao didn't want to have contact with the Zhongshan Palace at that time, but he didn't want him to have contact with the Zhongshan Palace?

The news said that Chu Ling sent his deputy to meet Chu Zhao, did Chu Ling explain to his daughter this short meeting?

He was a little absent-minded.

"My lord." Yi Cheng hurriedly said, "My lord asked, is it time to go to the capital?"

Deng Yi regained his senses, reached out and patted the car door: "This is just my reward for giving the prince the opportunity to get acquainted with the daughter of the Chu family. Others have to be paid separately."

Yicheng was not annoyed, he smiled and said, "That's natural, that's natural."

Deng Yi pondered for a moment, then looked in the direction of the capital: "It is indeed possible to go to the capital now. Your majesty is not in good health, the crown prince is not stable, and the third prince has grown up. It can be said that it is very lively."

Yi Cheng happily said: "Then our son will escort Miss Chu to Beijing."

This was also the original arrangement, but Deng Yi looked at him jokingly: "Your family's eldest son failed to please Miss Chu, Miss Chu will not agree to the eldest son's escort."

Yicheng sighed: "Yes, my lord, the prince also thought of this, so I asked my lord for help."

Deng Yi shook his head: "I can't convince that Miss Chu, but." He looked at Yicheng, "If it's within my duty, I must be obliged to do so."

After finishing speaking, he patted Yi Cheng on the shoulder, signaled the guards to deal with the money here, turned and left.

Yi Cheng didn't dare to keep him, and stood there thinking.

Deng Yi walked through the noisy backyard, just as he came out, a guard stepped forward and whispered, "Someone is walking around here."

Deng Yi said, "Who?"

Someone spied on him?

The guard said, "It's Miss Chu's maid."

Miss Chu——Deng Yi was thoughtful.

"I wanted to ask." The guard whispered, "but she talked to the servant and asked for some herbs."

There are many people in the backyard, and anyone can walk around.

It was reasonable for the maid to come here, they were not qualified to ask questions, and even hesitated for a while, did they think too much.

Deng Yi didn't speak, and just walked to his residence, he saw someone standing in the shadows under the corridor.

"Who?" he asked, stopping.

The guards following behind were about to step forward immediately.

"Master Deng, it's me." Chu Zhao said hastily, and stood up.

Deng Yi looked at the smaller and weaker girl in the night, and asked, "What orders does Miss Chu have?"

Chu Zhao saluted: "Don't dare, I need to bother Mr. Deng with something, and I have been waiting for Mr. Deng to return."

So just now the maid was wandering around in the backyard, she was really spying on his whereabouts, Deng Yi smiled: "Miss Chu is polite, please tell me."

Chu Zhao said: "On the way back, my cousin and I wanted to take a car. My cousin couldn't bear it after running around for so long. Now that I've been arrested, let him relax on the way back. Otherwise, I'll really be my family. An eternal sinner."

This girl is very good at teasing herself, Deng Yi smiled slightly.

After Chu Zhao said that, he called Ale.

Ale stepped forward with a box in his arms.

Chu Zhao went on to say: "Anyway, this is our family matter, and Mr. Deng is also troubled. I want to take out the money, not for anything else, just to make the journey easier and more comfortable for adults and poor men. Eat well, sleep well, and suffer less from the cold.”

Deng Yi looked at the box held by the maid with great interest. It seemed that he had a lot of money—of course, it was not as good as King Zhongshan, but it was not a small amount for this child, and for him, one cent Money is also money, and I never dislike less.

He has experienced this girl's extravagance before, yes, yes, no matter if it is a postman, a prostitute, a traveling doctor, or him, a court official, Miss Chu treats her equally.

"Miss Chu is really polite." He said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

In the dark, a smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Thank you, Mr. Deng." Chu Zhao saluted, and took Ale away happily.

Deng Yi watched them disappear before walking into his room.

The lights in the room were bright, and the guard put the box on the table and opened it, and called out to the lord: "These money are the ones that were recovered on the way earlier."

Deng Yi walked over to take a look, and smiled: "It's true." He reached out and fiddled with the money and jewelry in the box, and picked up a hairpin, "I remember that Mr. Chu said it was his mother's dowry."

The guard nodded: "Yes, Miss Chu gave it to that prostitute." Speaking of this, he looked at Deng Yi with strange eyes, "Miss Chu brought these to your lord, does Mr. Chu know?"

Mr. Chu is not like this kind of person.

Ms. Chu didn't steal it again, did she? !

Deng Yi suddenly laughed, he rarely laughed like this, turned the pearl hairpin in his hand, and threw it back into the box: "Then it's none of my business, I only collect money, where did the money come from, not my business."

……

……

When it was time to set off the next day, Chu Ke was originally grimacing and reluctant, but was pleasantly surprised when he saw two tall and strong carriages with spacious wheels.

"Is this for me?" he asked.

"Give it to us." Chu Zhao corrected, watching A Le put the baggage on the car, "Let's take one."

It's not spacious for two people in the car, Chu Ke frowned: "Then there is another one."

"That belongs to Mr. Deng." Chu Zhao said, looking at him, "Do you want to ride with Mr. Deng or do you want me to ride with Mr. Deng?"

Chu Ke is angry, I want you to run outside!He ignored Chu Zhao and urged his servants to load the car, but Chu Zhao ignored him and took Ale to climb up. She had no burden, and her clothes were light and simple. She was busy outside for a while, and then Chu Ke shouted——

Immediately after the footsteps were kicked, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Chu Ke's distorted face broke in.

"Where's my money! Where's my box of money?" He shouted, "Chu Zhao, did you steal it again?"

Chu Zhao didn't even look at him: "No." Then he pointed to his side, "If you don't believe me, turn it over."

Although it could be seen at a glance, Chu Ke still angrily rummaged through Chu Zhao's two burdens, and of course there was none.

"You, you must have stolen it." He was so angry that his eyes were red, "Where did you hide it?"

Chu Zhao said, "Brother, it's so far away from home. What's the use of me hiding here? Waiting for it to give birth?"

Chu Ke gave her a hard look, jumped out of the car to look for money, and set off a bustling scene in the whole inn. The people who came and went in the inn were all officials, and he would not let him rummage at will, which almost caused trouble.

Chu Zhao stopped him.

"Otherwise, you can report to the government and let the local government investigate the case, and you stay here and wait."

Chu Ke felt that he had exhausted all the hardships in his life. The young man really realized what it means to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out for a day. He didn't want to be outside for a moment, and wished he could fly back home immediately.

"Forget it." His voice was a little choked up, "It's all my fault, I lost it, no one else's fault."

After all, he climbed into the car and lay down on his back.

Chu Zhao comforted him again: "I stole the money and spent it all. It has nothing to do with you. Wouldn't it be better for you to think so?"

What a fart, Chu Ke was so angry that he almost lost his breath, and pulled the blanket to cover his head. After returning to Beijing this time, he asked the Liang family to deal with Chu Zhao. county.

Keep her in the capital again, and her life will be killed by her. What's the use of future!

The carriage was quiet, Deng Yi glanced at Miss Chu by the window with a calm face as if nothing had happened.

Miss Chu smiled at him.
