Empress Chu

Xie Yanfang smiled slightly, and said: "With someone like me, Ms. Chu will be very grateful to you, Tai Tuo."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Deng Yi leaned against the back of his chair in silence, thoughtful.

The little official hiding in the corner stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Teacher, are you really going to testify against King Zhongshan for treason?"

"This battle is inevitable." Deng Yi said, "The crime of heavy casualties among the people can only be borne by King Zhongshan and his son."

"Then let Chu Lan be alone. He was the one who did it." The little official said, "Even if the queen is here, at this moment, we can only kill relatives righteously."

If the girl was here at this moment, would she push her uncle out?Deng Yi thought for a while, he thought it would, but he didn't think it would, this girl was a little confused.

"Don't listen to Xie Yanfang, you can't show up." The little official said anxiously, "The queen's reputation has been damaged, but she was locked up in the palace. If you are caught by this old matter, it will ruin your future if you find out in the future. .”

In the future, it refers to the emperor growing up. After the personal conquest, the Tai Tuo will no longer oversee the country, and without the jade seal, the emperor wants the minister to die, what can the minister do?

"Xie Yanfang is really shameless. This is killing two birds with one stone. From now on, only their Xie family is innocent."

Of course Deng Yi knew this truth, but——

"Compared to other people, Ms. Chu's being a queen is of great benefit to me." Deng Yi said, "I have to defend her. Even if the two of us are stigmatized, as long as we are together and we are of the same mind, He, Mrs. Xie, don't even think about living a good life."

If he abandons Chu Zhao and ignores him, then Xie will kill two birds with one stone.

The girl said it before, she is very generous, and she is the one who can give everything in return.

Today, she is no longer the girl who could only buy a meal. Although her father is gone, she has also taken down the frontier army herself. She has military exploits and her reputation spread all over the world.

He opened the letter he took out earlier.

Xiao Xun did indeed write him a letter, the letter was very simple, just one sentence.

"Teacher, do you want to open the door?"

Deng Yi couldn't remember exactly what Xiao Xun looked like, but this sentence could outline the appearance of a child of the superior clan.

The children of the clan seem polite and gentle, but in fact, the world doesn't pay attention to them.

Deng Yi raised his hand, threw the letter into the brazier, and turned to ashes.

"Ask me to open the door," he said. "You were unworthy before, and you are still unworthy now."

He looked at the little official.

"Make arrangements, I'll meet Chu Lan tonight."

The little official responded yes.

……

……

When night fell, Qi Leyun couldn't sleep, his father said something strange today, asked him but refused to say it, only urged him to move out immediately, the family packed their luggage until midnight, the clanging noise made it impossible to sleep.

What do you mean everyone is fine, but the queen is fine?

It means that Chu Zhao will bring troops to help the capital, is it dangerous to fight?

Chu Zhao will not be in danger, she dares to beat Xiliang people.

But it was really hard work, the people of Xiliang want to fight, and the king of Zhongshan also wants to fight, this is probably the queen's duty, Qi Leyun sympathized, but relieved her worry, she was about to fall asleep in a daze, when she just closed her eyes, there was another noise outside , it seems that a lot of people broke in.

Someone was shouting, someone was screaming, someone was crying, and the fire was jumping.

Qi Leyun instantly thought of the prince's chaos at that time.

Could it be—

Now there are no other princes.

King Zhongshan came in?

Qi Leyun hurriedly got up, and before he could call for anyone, he heard the screams of the servant girls, and a group of people rushed in with chaotic footsteps.

This is a group of black-armored guards, holding weapons in their hands.

Qi Leyun also screamed in fright.

These black-armored guards didn't kill anyone after entering the door, they just rummaged around, and all the boxes and cabinets were dumped out, but they ignored the scattered money and jewels, and quickly returned to the door. The official standing at the door shook his head, "No."

Qi's mother hugged Qi Leyun, and Qi's father repeatedly said to the official: "No, although I live here, I have never had any contact with that place. I really don't know."

What are you looking for?Qi Leyun was panicked and puzzled.

"Have you met Chu Tang today?" The official looked at Qi Leyun and asked, "Did she say where she was going?"

Chu Tang?Are you looking for Chu Tang?Qi Leyun was stunned, and Qi's mother hurriedly urged: "Say it quickly, don't hide it, something serious has happened."

"I've seen it before. I went out to play with her, and then came back with her, and she went home. I watched her enter the door with my own eyes." Qi Leyun said, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with her?"

The official didn't answer her, probably knowing that there was nothing to ask, so he turned and left, and the black armored guards also left.

Qi Leyun looked at the messy and terrified family members, and asked anxiously, "What happened? Has the capital been captured?"

Are these people here to arrest the Queen's family?

Father Qi said with a complicated expression, "The capital has not yet fallen, and Chu Tang's family is gone."

gone?Qi Leyun was surprised and puzzled: "What do you mean by missing?"

Qi's mother pinched her arm: "Silly boy, the whole family has run away!"

……

……

"The neighbors didn't notice it. Chu Lan and his wife never went out and were recuperating all the time. Chu Tang went out to play with the girls today." The official reported to Deng Yi.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Deng Yi stood in the hall, the night was fading, the light and shadow were dim, he suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Mo Dao walked early, and there are even more early walkers." He said, "As soon as we thought about it, Mrs. Chu had already run away."

The official was a little annoyed: "My lord, they must be hiding in a certain family, and they won't run out at this time."

There was going to be a fight outside, and as a member of the Queen's family, wouldn't it be self-defeating to run out.

Deng Yi nodded and said: "Go, search every family, don't need to hide it, tell everyone that the Chu family is a thief with a guilty conscience and fled in fear of crime. If anyone shields them, they will be judged by the same party."

When people run away, sin cannot.

The official responded yes, turned around and strode away.

Deng Yi stood silently in the hall, how did Chu Lan's family escape in such a timely manner?Ever since Chu Zhao was gone, Chu Lan's family had been cut off from the court, where did they get the news?

Is it so powerful to judge the situation?There is no such person in Chu Lan's family.

Could it be Chu Zhao who told them?

Deng Yi had an idea.

But first, King Zhongshan cut off the news, and then the court deliberately concealed the news, how did she know?And how to send the news in?

No matter what, Third Young Master Xie's plan was disrupted in an instant, Deng Yi suddenly smiled and called for someone.

"Go, tell Third Young Master Xie the good news."

……

……

Without Deng Yi saying it, Xie Yanfang already knew about it.

"Why did you run away?" Du Qi was surprised and angry, "Are you guilty of being a thief?"

Xie Yanfang was neither surprised nor angry, she smiled and said, "Chu Lan's family is indeed guilty all the time."

In fact, they ran away, Xie Yanfang didn't find it strange.

"The strange thing is that some people are willing to help them escape and take them into hiding."

Cai Bo came in, took a piece of paper, and said: "Five families left the city yesterday. Some said they were going to the ancestral home in the countryside, and some said they were going to play. They had cars and horses. This is the list."

Xie Yanfang took it and looked at it, and said: "They are all famous families. It stands to reason that these people would not look at Chu Lan's family directly."

"Because Chu Zhao is the queen." Du Qi said.

Xie Yanfang shook her head: "It's not just because of the status of queen."

There have always been many people who have been queens, and each descendant family has its own reputation, but for aristocratic families, it is not necessarily necessary to please and fear.

What's more, the Chu family's family is weak.

They were willing to help each other because of Chu Zhao.

This girl won the queen's position before, and now she has also won the hearts of the people.

Xie Yanfang lowered her eyes.

"Check which one it is, I will visit it myself."

……

……

The carriage swayed, and the cracks in the wooden boards changed from darkness to light. I don't know how long it swayed, and finally stopped.

The boards were removed one by one, and the face of a girl appeared in front of my eyes.

She knocked on the car board and looked at the family of three lying in it.

"A Tang, come out."

Chu Tang was the first to get up and climb out. It was a large wagon, and all the furniture on the mezzanine had been removed.

"Ah Jiang thank you." Chu Tang saluted.

Zhou Jiangdao: "You're welcome, and you don't have to thank me. I can't help you if my grandfather disagrees."

Chu Tang helped Chu Lan and Jiang Shi out. Chu Lan seemed to be uncomfortable with people after not seeing the sun for a long time, so she covered her head and face with her sleeves.

During the conversation, several cars and horses drove in, and the old and young came out of the carriages, standing bustlingly behind Chu Tang's family.

Seeing these people, Zhou Jiang felt helpless.

"A Tang, I didn't even know you were so righteous." She said, "I didn't forget to bring my servants with me when I ran."

He also brought so many people, a total of 20 people, ranging from old servants to ten-year-old servants.

Chu Tang sighed softly: "How can I leave on my own and leave them as a substitute."

Zhou Jiang thought to himself, keeping the servants would not be a scapegoat, at most they would be arrested and locked up for sale—it was just a change of master.

But she never asks too many questions.

"Go and rest, I will tell you the latest news. This is my grandmother's private property, and my family doesn't know much about it."

Chu Tang thanked again, and Mrs. Jiang helped Chu Lan go backwards with the support of her servants.

"A Tang, thanks to your friendship with these ladies, you can let them help us." Jiang Shi said, reaching out to wipe away tears, still in shock.

In fact, she still doesn't quite understand what her daughter said, but she probably understands it. In short, she can't enjoy the queen's majesty, but will be implicated instead.

"I knew a long time ago that I would suffer from your second uncle's family."

Listening to his mother's words, Chu Tang thought that this time, it wasn't just Zhou Jiang's family who helped. In order to confuse people's attention, several families drove out of the city that day.

But being able to convince these people to help was not because she was on good terms with the ladies of these families—of course, she, Chu Tang, also had credit.

At least she was prepared and packed her luggage at home, so she could leave immediately after receiving the news.

Although she had been prepared, Xiaotu woke her up in the middle of the night, handed over the note, opened it and saw what Chu Zhao wrote, "The king of Zhongshan is here, and the court will find out the old criminal evidence, which is dangerous." She was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Chu Tang stretched out his hand to press his heart.

Still jumping around.

The danger came too soon.

What should I do?

Fortunately, Chu Zhao wrote the names of several aristocratic families on the letter, asking her to seek help immediately and hide. On this note, Chu Zhao's name was signed and the empress's phoenix seal was affixed.

Chu Tang asked Xiaotu to take her out the door that night, let Xiaotu enter the doors of these people according to the names written by Chu Zhao, and called the family members out of their sleep.

Although these family members are not young, they didn't faint from fright. When they saw the note, they didn't ask what the old criminal evidence was, and agreed after a moment of thought.
