Chapter 35: Probing

Wait and see secretly, both ways.

In the study, Lian Jingxiao recalled the self-mockery and loneliness in his smile when Qiao Wenzhi turned to leave just now, and frowned slightly. Qiao Wenzhi and the sixth prince had been friends since they were young. After becoming a vassal king and guarding Shanxi, Qiao Wenzhi had long been the companion of the sixth prince, but now the status and position of the two of them made it difficult for them to be friends.

Although Lian Jingxiao is not close to the princes, he is familiar with them. The last time he saw Tuoba Yi was at a banquet in the palace. He was ten years old at that time, while Tuoba Yi was only five years old. He had a round and lovely face. On the face, there is a serious face, but the eyes are extraordinarily clear and pure, different from the publicity of the prince, and also different from the domineering of the third prince, at such a young age, apart from the natural nobility, there is actually a trace of coldness and forbearance, In Lian Jingxiao's impression, Tuo Boyi has always been like this, but he is the only one who is very close to himself. There are so many young masters and ladies around him. Only when this child sees him, his eyes are not so indifferent. Lian Jingxiao even thought about it. The emperor's son is the sixth prince, he must be much better than his two elder brothers...

It's just that after so many years, I don't know what Tuoba Yi has become...

On the street, the Lian family's carriage did not stop when it passed Yinglin Pavilion, but continued to drive towards the woods behind.

In the carriage, Chi Canghai had just made tea. After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he poured himself a cup and put it in front of Hong Fu: "Eunuch Fu, try it. This is the new tea of ​​this year, and it was brought back by the second young master."

Hong Fu sat unsteadily all the way, if it was the master's attendant to accompany him in the car, it should be. Now that Chi Canghai is pulling him to ride with him, it is obviously a compliment to him, but Hong Fu has always been a little uncertain about this concubine , I don't know what Chi Canghai's intentions are, so he quickly took the teacup and thanked him: "Thank you, Shi Zifei, the second young master has always been like this, always thinking of bringing good things to everyone."

Chi Canghai narrowed his eyes, and then smiled slightly: "I don't know if Eunuch Fu's cough is so thorough?"

Hong Fu was taken aback. When he got sick two years ago, not to mention that no one at home knew about it, let alone that Chi Canghai hadn't even entered the house at that time... Although it was strange, he just replied respectfully: "It's just a small problem, but it's already healed." gone."

Chi Canghai nodded with a face of relief: "Okay, that's good. A few days ago, the prince specifically mentioned to me about Fu Gonggong's problem, and asked me if there are any good medicinal materials that can help recuperate."

Hong Fu was stunned, with an unpredictable expression on his face, before saying after a long while: "Please trouble your son and his concubine to remember, this servant deserves to die."

Chi Canghai smiled: "What did the father-in-law say, the son has always valued the father-in-law, and the father-in-law just needs to remember the kindness that the son has shown you. After all, he will be the master of the Zhennan Palace in the future. I think the prince is also happy to see the father-in-law Fu can do it." Do your best by your side."

Hong Fu lowered his head and said, "Yes."

It's just that my heart is getting more and more uneasy.

The carriage just stopped, and Laixi said from outside the carriage: "Concubine Shizi, we're here." Then he lifted the curtain, and Hong Fu personally helped Chi Canghai get out of the carriage.

The forest in front of us is to the southwest of Yinglin Pavilion, which is actually not too far away, but there are many mountains behind, surrounded by weeds, so almost no one passes by. Hong Fu didn't understand why Chi Canghai came here. The other party had already stepped into the woods and hurriedly followed.

Chi Canghai easily found a small path and walked deep into the forest. He was obviously familiar with this place, and said lightly as he walked, "Eunuch Fu, Canghai wants to build a workshop here, which occupies a huge area. Can you please trouble me?" Father-in-law help arrange it?"

Hong Fu paused, and hurriedly said: "This is easy to handle. The concubine only needs to explain the specifications and the things she wants to make, and the servant will definitely take care of it."

Chi Canghai turned his head halfway, and smiled slightly: "Eunuch is doing business, Canghai is at ease, but the things made here are important things, Canghai doesn't want other people to know, please invite Eunuch..."

Hong Fu immediately bowed and said: "Don't worry, the concubine, the servant will never let outsiders know, and the craftsmen of Zhennan Palace will never reveal a word."

Chi Canghai just laughed, did not answer, turned a few more turns, and suddenly opened up, revealing a large open space. Hong Fu was surprised. If Chi Canghai hadn't brought him in today, how could he have thought that there would be such a place in the depths of the forest? There is such a large area of ​​land, and looking at the distance, I am afraid it is more than this one.

Chi Canghai: "That's right here. The land is on the west side. It's fine according to the specifications of the blacksmith's shop. The room for the operation is more spacious. As for the tools and materials, I'll let someone get them. Father-in-law doesn't need to worry about it."

Hong Fu nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Chi Canghai took Hong Fu to stroll around the land, roughly pointing to the direction and landing point, explaining that he would order someone to draw a sketch and hand it over to his father-in-law, and Hong Fu nodded in response.

Chi Canghai nodded, and the matter was almost explained, so he turned and walked back, but stopped after taking two steps: "Will the father-in-law tell the second young master about this?"

Hong Fu was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Chi Canghai suddenly sighed: "Qi Ai is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause..."

Hong Fu looked at the back of Chi Canghai leaving, and felt that his back was already wet.

If it is said that he has any intention of submitting to Lian Jinfeng, he would not dare, but he really wants to have a good relationship between the eldest son and the second young master, and neither will offend.

He is watching.

He could always guess what Lian Jinfeng was thinking, and the faint jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes, he, a slave who relied on observing words and expressions for his food, could naturally see it.Originally, according to Lian Jingxiao's status in the Zhennan Palace, it was impossible for Lian Jinfeng to surpass him, but since Lian Jinfeng adopted him to Princess Meng, the princess really loved him very much, even more than the crown prince. Given the importance Zhennan Wang attached to Princess Meng, Lian Jinfeng naturally dared not be underestimated in the palace.Moreover, Lian Jingxiao is too indifferent, but Lian Jinfeng is completely opposite, he is very likable. Ever since he gave himself ai for the first time, Hong Fu has been very grateful to him. It is true that Hong Fu has some skills, so although Hong Fu is not a betrayal to Lian Jingxiao, he is definitely not loyal. He thought that no one would know about this kind of thing, but today he discovered that the concubine Shizi already knew everything... …

Chi Canghai's words forced him to make a choice. He is a sensible person, and the fate of the idiot is self-evident... Thinking of this, he hurried to catch up. I will never reveal a word to anyone other than the prince, concubine and prince."

Chi Canghai raised the corners of his mouth, and looked back at him with a smile: "There is Mr. Lao Fu."

Hong Fu helped Chi Canghai get into the carriage, suddenly whispered something beside him, and then closed the curtain respectfully, this time he didn't get into the carriage, but just followed outside the carriage.

Chi Canghai was stunned at first, then carefully considered Hong Fu's words, and slowly narrowed his eyes, he said: "The girl next to Shizi Concubine needs to be cautious in her words and deeds, she dresses too dignifiedly, and may attract people's comments..."

Laixi asked outside the car: "Concubine Shizi, where are you going now?"

"Go home directly." After speaking, she leaned in the carriage, leaning her arms on the edge of the window and supporting her head: "Girl..."

When Chi Canghai returned to the courtyard, Lian Jingxiao hadn't come back yet, and the departure date was very tight. Although he knew that the time he gave Lin Danyang was too much for preparing a caravan, he had no choice. He has to race against time, and he has to get back as soon as no one notices that he is gone.

He quickly packed up the baggage, it was nothing more than a few pieces of clothing, which could have been done by the girl, but now, he is not at ease.

Sitting in front of the desk and picking up a pen, I wanted to draw a bottle, but I was not satisfied with the few drawings. I looked around the antiques in the room, looking for a reference, but suddenly thought of the bottle of mineral water...

Chi Canghai got up to look through the cabinet, it was really there, thankfully he forgot it for a while, otherwise he would have thrown it away long ago, and found that there was still water in the bottle, so Chi Canghai walked out of the room, looked up, and saw the fox eating something with his head down, waiting After taking a closer look, he realized that it was the petals that had fallen from the plum tree above their heads. The corners of Chi Canghai's mouth twitched a little: This must be due to too much physical exertion... I'm so hungry...

After sighing, he simply poured water on the plum tree and asked them to eat more...

Chi Canghai put the empty bottle into a wooden box and put it in his bag. As soon as he finished, he saw Lian Jingxiao walking in.

Lian Jingxiao looked at the burden on the bed and frowned slightly, Chi Canghai smiled faintly: "I'm going to Fuli Country, and go with Lin Danyang's caravan."

Lian Jingxiao looked away from the burden and looked at Chi Canghai: "Do you have to go?"

Chi Canghai nodded slightly: "Well, I found a craft in the book, from Fuli. I'm not sure I can learn it, but I must go."

Lian Jingxiao just stared at him and didn't speak for a while.

Chi Canghai thought for a while before opening his mouth: "I don't bring anyone here, but I tell the outside world that I'm sick and recuperating in the house, girls are not allowed to come near, I will ask Hao Laixi to pretend to send me three days a day to the house." After dinner, Mr. Qiao is still in the mansion, I will ask him to help me change my appearance, and then leave secretly. Moreover, I know that the people you stay with me are more than shadows, I... will not be discovered .”

Lian Jingxiao still looked at him without saying a word.

Chi Canghai was a little uncertain about what Lian Jingxiao was thinking. He knew that the current situation was unstable, and there must be many eyeliners staring at the Zhennan Palace. Not to mention that he was worried about his own safety, he was even more worried that he would become someone else to deal with the Lian family. The reason for this is that the concubine's private mission to a foreign country is a serious crime, but this time, he has to go: "If everything goes well, you only need to go back and forth..."

Lian Jingxiao sighed: "Ten days."

Chi Canghai froze for a moment, then watched Lian Jingxiao slowly walk up to him, and said softly, "Canghai, you are indeed my key."

Chi Canghai frowned slightly, and just about to speak, he heard Lian Jingxiao say, "But it's not my burden."

Chi Canghai stared blankly at Lian Jingxiao, who stretched out his hand to caress his face: "I believe that if you are as intelligent as you, you must be able to do everything in a comprehensive manner. Just for me, promise me to put yourself first in everything."

Seeing Chi Canghai's slightly stunned face gradually stained with a smile, and nodded to him, Lian Jingxiao added in his heart: Even if there are any accidents, with me around, I will never let anything happen to you.

The author has something to say: Chi Canghai: Is the pain in the waist and legs caused by being made a big deal?

Lian Jingxiao: Not counting.

The fox is really good at destroying the atmosphere...
