……

The third prince did not defend the arrested scholar in the end, everything seemed to have never happened, and Wangchunyuan remained the same as before.

After being whipped and paraded through the streets, this group of scholars were quickly assigned to do hard labor.

They pulled rocks to build a road just outside the capital, and they were whipped like raindrops, and people kept falling down. In less than ten days, not only did the road repair not go faster, but the road was blocked because of too many casualties.

The officials in charge of road construction were so angry that they came to scold the supervisor.

"These are all newcomers, and they are also scholars. How have they suffered this kind of suffering?"

"I know that if you become a hard laborer, you have to bear it if you can't bear it, but take your time."

"Or be gentle, let them not be killed or injured on the road, and let them go to other places!"

Hearing the official's scolding, the originally ferocious supervisor smiled respectfully.

"My lord." They answered repeatedly, "We know."

The official was furious, and the supervisors hurriedly held up umbrellas and fanned him, asking him to rest by the side of the road.

"My lord, it's better not to send this kind of coolie here." A supervisor said, "This will only add trouble, and our construction period will be delayed."

The official was a little helpless: "It's not us who have the final say. Next, the trouble will be even worse, and the more we will definitely send—"

Having said that, I suddenly saw a group of soldiers and horses parked not far from the road, full of dust and dust, obviously coming from a long distance.

"Who are you?" the official asked hurriedly.

"From Yunzhong County." The leading soldier replied.

……

……

Before Zhong Changrong had time to declare his family name, the official asked enthusiastically, "He's from Yunzhong County? Is it from General Wei Chu Ling's side?"

Since approaching the capital, hearing the general's name has become numb, but Zhong Changrong was still shocked this time.

When it came to Yunzhong County, no one else asked, and directly asked General Wei Chu Ling, as if there were no other generals in Yunzhong County.

Zhong Changrong looked at the faintly visible city in front of him, feeling a little at a loss, not knowing what it would be like to enter the capital.

He thought of the scene when the general sent the prince of Xiliang to Beijing for an audience with eight good news, and the whole city watched Chu Lang——

"Yes, we are members of General Chu, and we came to Beijing to see—" Zhong Changrong retracted and said.

The official took over the conversation again: "Will you watch Miss Chu's competition? It's about to start, just in time."

Zhong Changrong put away his daydreams, um, different from before, now the whole city is talking about Chu Nu.

He smiled slightly: "Yes, we are here for the general to watch the young lady contest."

The official laughed: "Should be, my daughter was lucky enough to win three games in a row in Chuyuan. Haha, my father was very happy. If he had to say that he had a successor, the four of us would be one step behind."

His daughter played well with the daughter of the Chu family, and he and General Chu were like good friends.

Zhong Changrong looked at this official who was enthusiastic as if he had been a friend for ten years - this official hadn't even introduced his last name.

Zhong Changrong said: "This is our—"

He wants to take out the wayfinding certificate——

The official didn't even look at it: "Let's go, let's go, go see Miss Chu."

Zhong Changrong thought that he would encounter difficulties along the way, especially as he got closer to the capital, but he didn't expect that the closer he was to the capital, the more unimpeded it would be, not because of General Chu, but because of Ms. Chu.

Zhong Changrong was sad and happy at the same time, the general must be very happy to know.

"Let's go." He shouted loudly, "Let's go and build momentum with Miss!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and galloped away under the smiling eyes of the officials.

Chapter 90 Waiting

The prince captured a group of scholars, but did not cause the capital to panic. The third prince's counterattack was to announce the official start of the Wenhui in Wangchun Garden, attracting more people to the capital.

The Wenhui will be tomorrow.

It's different from the previous life—Chu Zhao thought about it, but he didn't think about it.

In the last life, the girls didn't participate, and at most they scolded a few words, and they didn't care anymore, and she didn't care anymore. At that time, she was busy preparing to get married with Xiao Xun, and she only had Xiao Xun in her heart, and the sky fell. No matter.

Chu Zhao didn't think too much about the Wenhui.

She has no choice in this matter, although the third prince's life is coming to an end, but if she dares not go now, the third prince can cut her life first.

The girls get together every day, either in the Chu Garden or in the restaurant, looking through the records of previous competitions, improving their skills.

"Liang Siqing's family was sentenced, but they all saved their lives." Qi Leyun brought new news, "Distributed to Bianjun."

For the young girls, this was not much better than death, and some even murmured that if they were like this, they might as well die.

"After this trip, I am afraid that I will never be able to return to Beijing again in this life." Someone sighed.

Chu Zhao sat on the side without any reaction on his face. Hearing this sentence, he glanced at the girl.

The other girls noticed immediately, and someone immediately poked the talking girl.

"What are you talking about?" "Who is to blame for this?" "Who made their family commit crimes." "Although the female relatives are pitiful, they will suffer disaster after enjoying the glory before."

Girls, talk to me.

This is because she thought that she was not happy to hear the words of sympathy for the Liang family. After all, one of the Liang family's crimes was spreading rumors to cause trouble and taking personal revenge - referring to spreading rumors about Chu Zhao and Xie Jiazi.

Chu Zhao smiled, feeling a little complicated. Of course she didn't feel pity for Mrs. Liang. How could she have the right to pity others. She ended up like that in that life. I don't know if anyone has a word of pity for her.

The reason why she glanced at the girl was because she thought of the Liang family who was convicted and expelled from the capital in that life, but was still able to return to the capital.

Is this life—

Chu Zhao caressed the teacup lightly with his fingers, who knows.

"Tomorrow, the Wangchun Garden literary meeting will begin." She said to the girls, "But there have been a lot of things happening in the capital recently, and the situation is different from the past. Everyone must be cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to bring disaster to the family."

The girls nodded.

Qi Leyun snorted: "Chu Zhao, as long as you remember this sentence, you are the one who can cause trouble the most, okay?"

She sat down beside Chu Zhao.

"When the time comes, don't fight with the third prince."

The girls all laughed, Chu Zhao laughed too, and poked Qi Leyun's shoulder with his fingers.

"I know." She said with a smile, "A gentleman knows how to advance and retreat. I know when not to retreat and when to retreat."

Zhou Jiang who is good at playing chess—except when playing chess, the little girl Zhou Jiang is still the same as before. She sits in the crowd in an unremarkable manner, doesn't like to talk, and is ignored by others. At this time, she rarely speaks: "We I have already proved myself in Chuyuan, so that the world will not underestimate me, that is enough, I don’t need to fight everywhere, otherwise I will fall behind, and I will be ridiculed as a little girl after all.”

Speaking of which, the little girl thought for a while, paused, and nodded again.

"But if you play chess, I definitely want to win."

The girls who were about to nod all laughed suddenly.

"A Jiang! Are you pointing us or leading us down?"

However, these two laughs broke away the previous solemn atmosphere.

"I'm going to Wangchun Garden tomorrow." Chu Zhao said, "Everyone go back to rest early today."

Qi Leyun smiled again: "What are you resting for? I'm going to prepare clothes and accessories. The jewelry my mother ordered for me has arrived. I'm going to try it on."

The other girls also laughed and said that their clothes were ready, their new accessories were ready, and they were so lively, they were teenage girls after all.

"I see." Chu Zhao also said with a smile, "Then I'll go shopping and buy some good things."

The girls dispersed from the restaurant and left separately. Sure enough, Chu Zhao did not go home directly, but took A Le to go shopping.

A Le said: "Miss A Tang has prepared clothes and jewelry for the young lady, but of course the young lady can buy some more."

"It's not about buying clothes and jewelry." Chu Zhao said, "Let's go to the pharmacy."

Ah Le was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Give it to Ah Jiu? I can't finish the pills last time, and I can't wake him up if I take too much of this medicine."

In fact, it's not to buy medicine for Ah Jiu, she wants to buy medicinal materials to keep at home. After all, after the end of the Wangchun Garden literary meeting, there will be a big turmoil between the princes. Although I reminded Xie Yanfang, the prince will kill it first. The third prince, the turmoil is bound to be not small——

Better be prepared.

Just as Chu Zhao was about to explain, a familiar figure flashed past——

"Ah Jiu!" she blurted out.

Before Ah Le could react, she saw Chu Zhao running away, and she hurriedly chased after him.

……

……

Xie Yanlai crossed the street from one alley into another alley, and in just a few short steps, he was discovered?

He frowned and looked at the girl standing in front of him.

"What are you doing?" he said angrily.

Chu Zhao looked at him. The young man was wearing a black shirt with red in the black, and a gold thread on his belt. It was ordinary and luxurious. This was the favorite dress of the children of the aristocratic family.

It's completely different from what it looked like when it was a post soldier.

This was the first time I saw him dressed normally. The first two times, one was naked and beaten, and the other was recuperating in bed with loose clothes.

"It's really different when you put on clothes." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

What words!Xie Yanlai sneered: "Ms. Chu can recognize her even when she's wearing clothes, and she really misses me so much."

A Le, who had just chased over, was stunned when he heard it, what did you say!

"Ah Jiu." Ah Le said angrily, "Our lady is worried about your injury, and now I am going to buy medicine for you."

Chu Zhao smiled and did not deny it.

Xie Yanlai raised her phoenix eyes and looked at the girl: "Really? Not bad, not bad, buy more, and serve the young master well, it will be to your advantage."

Chu Zhao immediately reached out and took out a letter: "Great, then please send this letter to my father for me."

Xie Yanlai was angry and funny: "You actually carry the letter with you? Are you so sure that you can meet me anytime, anywhere?"

Chu Zhao smiled: "If you meet it, you won't miss it."

Xie Yanlai sneered, did not answer the letter, and waved her hand: "Get out of the way, I'm still the injured, I have to go back to recuperate."

Chu Zhao didn't stop him, and stepped aside.

"Why did you come out?" she asked, looking at the boy's back.

The young man straightened his shoulders and did not turn his head: "Come out so Miss Chu can catch you."

For a person like him, whether he can come out or not, he can't decide for himself, Chu Zhao didn't joke anymore.

"Does it hurt?" she asked softly.

Chapter 91 Alley

Xie Yanlai's shoulders are straight, and he looks like an ordinary person, but his steps are actually very slow, but because of his long legs, it's not so obvious when he takes a step forward.

Does it hurt?

Xie Yanlai thought to herself, nonsense——

Before he could say it, the female voice behind him had already laughed at himself: "Nonsense, it's no wonder it doesn't hurt."

Xie Yanlai sneered in her heart.

"Yes." He turned back and said, "Miss Chu, quickly send me some more medicine and take good care of me, the wounded."

Chu Zhao hummed, but didn't say anything nice.

Boring, Xie Yanlai was suddenly not interested in talking, and strode forward.

Chu Zhao followed behind in silence without knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Ah Le followed silently.

One step at a time, Xie Yan walked slowly, and finally reached the end of the short alley. When he turned and walked along the street, and the girl behind him was still following him, he couldn't bear it anymore, stopped and turned around.
