Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother
Chapter 22 The Emperor's Man
Pei'er whispered everything that happened yesterday.
After Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng left, the banquet continued as usual and was very lively.
About half an incense stick later, a young man came running and whispered something in General Chu's ear. General Chu turned around and took Madam Chu and the people from the general's mansion away. The emperor did not stop them.
General Chu brought back several corpses and a few people, but he had no idea what happened to the rest.
Hearing about the corpse, Xie Chaochao was shocked, threw off the quilt and got out of bed, "Take me to see it."
Pei'er nodded and helped Xie Chaochao out.
On the way, I met Liu Fengling.
These past few days, she either went home or hung out with Xie Yue'er. She looked at Xie Chaochao with increasing disdain and stretched out her hand to block her way. "Cousin, do you still keep your promise to me?"
"Xie Yue'er told you that I didn't keep my word?"
Xie Chaochao was anxious to see General Chu, so he got straight to the point.
Liu Fengling sneered, twirling her hair with her fingers and rolling her eyes, "She didn't say anything, I just wanted to ask."
Xie Chaochao turned around and looked at her: "So what do you want to do?"
Liu Fengling walked around her, got close to her, whispered a few words in her ear, then patted her shoulder heavily and smiled meaningfully, "I'm counting on you, little cousin."
After saying that, she left leisurely.
Pei'er stared at the direction where Liu Fengling left with burning eyes. She turned back and pulled Xie Chaochao's sleeve, telling her not to listen to her. But she saw a faint smile on her wife's lips, and she couldn't tell what it meant.
She smiled, "Let's go."
The two went to the front yard together. From a distance, they saw several bodies covered with white cloth lying on the ground. Xie Chaochao trotted over.
Chu Heng was chatting with General Chu. When he saw her, he quickly went over to support her. "You are not well yet. What should I do if you caught a cold?"
Xie Chaochao waved his hand and asked Long Bo. Only after hearing Chu Heng say that there was no one, and that he had rescued him halfway and sent him back to the clinic together with Xiao Dizi, did he feel relieved.
General Chu looked at her and pointed at the body, "Does your daughter-in-law know him?"
Xie Chaochao could not confess the identities of Long Bo and others, so he opened the boxes one by one and found that some of them were people around Long Bo, and he had met them several times before.
Now when I see it again, it is just a pile of bones, and I can't help feeling sad.
"I don't know them." Xie Chaochao said, "I was being chased by someone, and these people suddenly appeared. Are they from the General's Mansion?"
"No." General Chu said. Seeing that Xie Chaochao's expression did not look like he knew him, he had to turn around and look at Chu Heng.
"It seems that the capital has been in turmoil recently."
"People from Jiangliang, people from the border, the Scorpion Society and these strangers, it seems that the sky in the capital is about to change."
Chu Heng's face darkened slightly as he stared at Xie Chaochao's thin back, from his slender neck, down his straight back to his waist. When he hugged him yesterday, he looked so skinny and fragile that he could not withstand a single blow.
When Xie Chaochao turned around, Chu Heng withdrew his gaze well.
Responding to his father, "Father is going to guard the border this time, and I am going to the north to fight the drought. There is no one in the capital, what should I do?"
General Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you still have your mother."
On one side, Mrs. Chu, who was leisurely drinking tea, smiled shyly at Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng, and was more lively than a child.
"Chao Chao, please accompany me."
Just as Xie Chaochao was about to say yes, Chu Heng took the initiative to speak, "Mom, I want to take Chaochao with me."
Xie Chaochao was stunned. In his previous life, the drought in the land was the fuse. The warehouse lost tens of millions of resources and hundreds of people died in Bianbei. He might as well follow and watch how this drama unfolds.
When asked by General Chu and Mrs. Chu, Xie Chaochao agreed.
Madam Chu exclaimed, "Sure enough, no one who marries into the Chu family is a coward, even Chao Chao is no exception."
General Chu stroked his beard and suddenly realized that Xie Chaochao was not incapable of doing so.
Chu Heng's eyes were gentle. He just said that he didn't care whether Xie Chaochao went or not, but when she said she was going, he felt inexplicably at ease.
……
Medical clinic.
Xie Chaochao brought Pei'er here specially to visit Long Bo.
As you enter the door, you can smell a strong herbal scent.
When he pushed the door open, he saw Long Bo lying on the bed with medicine applied to him, and Xiao Di Zi, who was covering his nose with a bandage and kept calling him "stinky old man". He applied the medicine in the bowl to his wound.
Long Bo turned around and glared at him in pain, "Be gentle, please?"
"Stinky old man, you're asking for a lot."
Seeing Xie Chaochao coming in, Long Bo remembered that he was pressed down by her, "No need, what happened yesterday? Can you tell me in detail."
Long Bo nodded and told him everything that happened last night.
That person was from the Scorpion Society, sent to assassinate Xie Chaochao. Long Bo sent her away to fight with others. Long Bo was old and had the strength but not the heart. Fortunately, the people around him protected him one by one and escorted him out, where he met General Chu who came to find him.
Xie Chaochao sat on one side drinking tea, silently, "I have long guessed that the murderer is the emperor, and Scorpion is one of the emperor's men."
"How did you know?" Long Bo asked curiously.
"You said that day that there are four masters in the Scorpion Club, Light Breeze and Drizzle, Black Wind and Haze. The people who assassinated Chu Heng said that they have two leaders, also called Light Breeze and Drizzle. They were also outside the temple gate when Madam Chu and I entered."
"They are either from the border or the emperor's people. But since they would assassinate the princess of the king of the border, it means that they are not from the border, but the emperor's people."
"The emperor wants to kill me, or Chu Heng, I doubt it."
She smiled slightly and looked at Long Bo who was looking away.
"Uncle Long, don't hide it from me. My father wants to kill my mother, so there must be someone else above him. Tell me the truth, okay?"
Long Bo hung his head and said nothing. It was obvious that he was in a very heavy mood.
Little Dizi sat aside, hesitating.
"What's your mother's name?"
"Phoenix Jue."
Xie Chaochao frowned.
Xiao Dizi blinked, and instantly jumped up from the bed, horrified, "What did you say your mother's name is?"
Just as Xie Chaochao was about to answer again, Long Bo frowned and shouted, "Shut up!"
Xiao Dizi felt wronged and confused. "Hey, I know you belong to Ming Fengliang, but I didn't know you belong to Fengjue. Are you her daughter? Her biological daughter?"
Xie Chaochao nodded, "Why? Do you know my mother?"
Xiao Dizi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and chose to shake her head and remain silent.
On the side, Long Bo's threatening voice came slowly, "This matter is known to you, me, heaven and earth, but you are not allowed to tell your sister."
"Oh." Xiao Dizi lowered his head.
She didn't dare tell him about this.
If I really said it, I'm afraid...
Xie Chaochao lowered his eyes, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
……
After saying goodbye to Long Bo, Xie Chaochao went out with Xiao Dizi. Standing in front of the carriage, she bent down and looked him straight in the eye.
"Little Dizi, do you remember what you promised me?"
Xiao Di was alert, "What?"
"You said, I saved you, you will repay me, one thing."
She held up a finger and stared at him with a smile.
Xiao Dizi got goose bumps all over his body and took several steps back. "No, the old man will kill me if he finds out."
