Fengmou in troubled times

Compared with the affectionate money of the Princess Mansion at this time, Chu Ligui, who was staying in the little emperor's study, was a bit devastated.It is really easy for him to make girls happy, but he is a little helpless when dealing with all kinds of weird problems of children.This feeling, as if I am not teaching and accompanying him, but the little emperor is using various methods to control himself.

"Brother Lin, how do you pronounce this word... Oh, you are so good, you know so many things. I will ask you if I don't know how to do it in the future?" "Okay."

"Brother Lin, can you make me a slingshot?" "Yes."

"Brother Lin, take me back!" "Okay."

"Brother Lin, I want to eat the milk cake made by Mammy!" "Okay."

"Brother Lin..."

"Okay." Chu Ligui responded reflexively, only to find that Chu Hui'an was covering his mouth and snickering, and couldn't help rubbing the little emperor's head angrily and amusingly, "Xiao Huier, you're naughty again."

Chu Hui'an didn't realize it for a while, and let him mess up his bangs easily, and quickly avoided it. "If the queen mother sees it, brother Lin, you will die." Looking around nervously, making sure no outsiders saw it, the little emperor felt relieved, and collapsed on the ground that was too lenient for him. in the chair.The Taifu who was in charge of teaching him had already left school, and the Empress Dowager Zhou must be busy reviewing piles of memorials at this moment, basically no one in the whole palace cared about who he was with and what he was doing.

"Brother Lin, are you the emperor's uncle's friend?" The elder brother in front of him who claimed to be surnamed Lin was secretly sent to his palace by the emperor's uncle Chu Boluan last night. I hide from my mother and others, just like playing hide and seek with them.Chu Hui'an couldn't understand these complicated things, but in order to let Brother Lin stay with him, he was happy to play this hide-and-seek game with Uncle Huang.And this brother Lin is different from anyone else in the palace. He will let himself do things that seem childish to his mother, and he will teach himself novel and interesting things, and he will not regard himself as an emperor. .For the little emperor, the things that the big brother in front of him did were enough to make him regard him as a trustworthy friend from the bottom of his heart.You don't even have to think about where this elder brother Lin came out of nowhere.

Chu Li, whose alias is Lin Gui, is kind enough to help little Hui'an copy homework, who makes him always feel that such a young child has to learn so many things every day is simply crazy!I think he would go out to play crazy after listening to Mr. Private School's lectures. When did he write homework and copy books? "Ah, that's right. Do you like that uncle of yours?" Chu Boluan didn't seem to be the type to play with children patiently.

As if he didn't know whether he should nod or shake his head, the little emperor blinked his big eyes and looked at Chu Ligui who was writing furiously for a while, then lowered his head and played with the toys that Chu Ligui brought him, many of them were from Feng Feng that night. Yin Ran agreed to buy it for him. "You know the big brother in blue clothes, right?" The child seems to remember the person he likes very clearly. "That big brother is really a good person. He said that there will be a big brother who will play with me. Brother Lin, you It appeared right away." The little emperor hugged the puppet and showed a satisfied smile. For him, any gadgets he bought at the market would please him very much, "That big brother will also enter Is the palace coming to play with me?"

Chu Ligui, who didn't know how to answer, rubbed his face, but got the ink on his face, which made Chu Hui'an laugh out loud. "Oh, Xiao Huier, how dare you laugh at me!" In line with the principle that it is better to be ashamed alone than others, Chu Ligui rubbed ink on the tip of Chu Hui'an's nose, "Now we are all painted-faced cats! Laugh or not laugh at me!"

Chu Hui'an, who immediately launched a counterattack, was giggling and throwing a ball of waste paper at him. He was having a good time, but he heard the guard outside the door reporting loudly: "The Queen Mother is here!"

Both one big and one small were shocked, Chu Ligui didn't care about the mess, and quickly dodged and hid in the empty box next to the bookshelf.Before entering the palace, both the emperor's uncle and Yin Ran repeatedly warned him to "cherish life and stay away from the queen mother", so when he first arrived at the little emperor's palace, he prepared a hiding place for himself in case of emergency.After winking at Xiao Huier, he closed the lid of the box. Through the small hole dug in advance, Chu Ligui saw a woman in a luxurious phoenix robe walking in. When she was five or six years old, she was elected the most beautiful woman in Wenyun country.I saw the woman walked up to the little emperor who immediately became very well-behaved, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped off the stains on his face, and said softly, "Why did you get so dirty? Where is the bookboy serving your pen and ink?" ? Where's the servant?"

Seeing the eunuchs and maids who were kicked out by him before, they immediately knelt down on the ground, Chu Hui'an quickly put his arms around the Empress Dowager Zhou's arm, and said coquettishly: "The emperor wants to think about the topic assigned by the master by himself. He will get ink on his face and ask his mother to forgive him."

Holding her son's soft little body, she kissed him on the face. At this moment, Zhou Ruji is no different from any mother who loves her child in the world. "My Huier has grown up." She asked with a gratified smile. Chu Hui'an had some problems with schoolwork, Zhou Ruji looked down and suddenly saw the toys of ordinary people in the market hidden by her son under the table, she couldn't help but put on a straight face and said, "Hui'er! Where did you get these lowly things?"

"Mother, this is given to me by the emperor's uncle. It's not something cheap." The little emperor couldn't help pleading in a low voice, "Mother, can't the emperor play with ordinary people's things?"

Seeing the face of her little son whom she cherishes and regards as a treasure flushed with anger, Zhou Ruji had no choice but to soften her voice and say, "My Huier is the emperor, and you can enjoy all the rare treasures in this world. It's just that the queen mother told you a long time ago, don't accept other things that are given to you at will, and don't eat the things that those people give you, have you forgotten all these?"

"The emperor remembers..." Even though he responded in this way, the little emperor was still reluctant to hand over his hard-won toys, and couldn't help begging: "But, the emperor really likes these things, queen mother, you let the emperor stay here."

Being tortured by him, the Queen Mother carefully checked all the toys, and after making sure there was nothing weird and inappropriate, she finally nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll let you stay. But Huier, remember Let’s not be an example!” Prince Li and his son were staring at each other, how could he not guard against it?Sighing and straightening her son's collar, Zhou Ruji murmured in a low voice: "Even though we are orphans and widows, we can't let them easily bully us!"

Chu Ligui, who was hiding in the box, looked at the mother and child who depended on each other in front of him, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.Seeing Zhou Ruji's love for Xiao Hui'er in every possible way, besides envy, he felt more hatred.If his mother was still there, she would surely make delicious food, mend clothes, and take care of everything by herself, right?However, thanks to this Zhou Ruji in front of him, he doesn't even remember what his own mother looked like... Now, in order to consolidate her son's throne, she is going to attack herself and his adoptive father again!Chu Ligui bit his wrist fiercely, telling himself over and over again to hold his breath, he must not rush out impulsively to fight desperately with Zhou Ruji, ruining Yin Ran's plan to help him save his adoptive father.Chu Ligui, you need to become stronger, stronger enough to protect yourself and your adoptive father's life!

Even if you become the kind of person you hate, you will not hesitate!

……Dividing line……

Large and small positions in the Xingxing Pavilion are all set up in the name of the Nine Heavens Stars. In addition to the guardians named after the gods of the four directions, the four guardians of Qinglong Baihu Suzaku Xuanwu also have eight star envoys, each with 28 The names of the constellations are code names.According to the directions of the four fields, these 28 star envoys are mostly stationed in the areas they are responsible for. Except for a few who don't know martial arts like Disu and stay in the main pavilion, most of the others are with their own numbered star envoys. The slaves are hidden in the countries of the eight wildernesses, for the pavilion master to send and dispatch at any time.

The two brothers and sisters Xu Rishu and Wei Yueyan who are in charge of Wen Yun Kingdom's intelligence processing are under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu. A lot of reliable and capable eyeliner.Even in the airtight eunuch guarded by Zhou Ruji, they let them send in an eunuch who was in charge of sanitation.Although the status is not high, Feng Yinran has been able to understand the layout of the imperial palace and the guard division, otherwise their last night visit to the imperial palace would not have been so smooth.

On the second night after agreeing to the three-day period for Chu Li's return, Wei Su suddenly came to the inn where Feng Yinran and the others were staying, and begged to see Feng Yinran with the news he had inquired about.If it wasn't for an emergency, there are 1 people in Wei Su who don't want to disturb the Pavilion Master and His Royal Highness late at night. Fortunately, Fang Linyuan is pestering their Pavilion Master to sort out the precious medicinal materials collected in the past few days, otherwise if they accidentally destroy the After losing the "Yaxing" of the Pavilion Master and His Highness the Seventh Highness, I'm afraid I will have to confess my life here.

"Pavilion Master," Wei Su has learned over the years how to observe words and expressions and dig out useful information. Now when he sees his own Pavilion Master and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, he doesn't dare to look at them, for fear of inadvertently and habitually analyzing the two The mind of the position, "When the court today, the ministers elected King Li as the regent on the grounds that the little emperor was still young. Some people also proposed that the Queen Mother Zhou should choose the blood of the Chu family who was of a similar age in the clan to be the prince first. , wait until the little emperor gives birth to offspring..."

Wei Su didn't finish speaking, and her expression was a little awkward, because if there was nothing wrong with her ears, it seemed that His Royal Highness Fang had done something to annoy the pavilion master just now, and the pavilion master slapped the back of his hand, making a crisp "pop" .Although he was full of curiosity, out of consideration for personal safety, Wei Su only lowered his head and called out hesitantly without raising his eyes: "Pavilion Master?"

"Well, I'm listening." Fang Linyuan glared fiercely at Fang Linyuan, who wanted to reach out and play with his fingers. Feng Yinran didn't want his subordinates to see their overly intimate behavior, even though the entire Xingxing Pavilion might be in the hands of that gossiping woman Suzaku. Under the influence, she already knew the matter between him and Fang Linyuan. "Most of this matter was also ordered by King Li. Emperor Chu's lineage, no matter how you count, King Li and his father and son are the purest bloodlines. If Chu Boluan can fight for a son immediately, then this so-called crown prince is very important. The king's grandson must be."

Nodding in agreement, Wei Su continued: "Even though the Empress Dowager Zhou didn't have a seizure on the spot, she was furious when she returned to her palace and smashed a lot of rare antiques. Then she immediately went to an abandoned hut in her palace She came out after a long time, and immediately called someone to change her clothes, and even asked people to take the old clothes and burn them. Our people checked them secretly later, and the clothes were stained with blood. Later, she raised her in the palace. The head of the face personally brought someone out of the palace mysteriously from that room. Elder brother has already sent our people to follow him far away, saying that he is going out of the city. But the Queen Mother herself is going to the eldest princess Walked around the house."

He had already sent people to search inside and outside the palace, but they didn't find any clues about Chu Xia. Now it seems that they probably missed some details.It was also thanks to Prince Li and his son who spared no effort to anger the Queen Mother that she inadvertently revealed the location of the dungeon secret room and Chu Xia.But all of this is just his inference. If he mobilizes the crowd to save people, he will fall into the trap set by the Queen Mother...

Fang Linyuan naturally thought of what Feng Yinran thought of.He carefully put the excellent-looking Ganoderma lucidum he found yesterday into the box, and said to Feng Yinran with a smile: "Should I go to Taiyuan again, or follow me to see the outside of the city?" See? It’s not good for us to hold all of them, at least we have to share half of them, and teach Prince Li and his son to do some work.”

Thinking about every detail over and over again, Feng Yinran, who has always been very defensive, naturally leaves the dangerous things to Chu Boluan and his son, so it becomes very important to distinguish between the true and the false. "Wei Yueyan," he looked at the woman sitting across from them, "you and Xu Su have lived longer in Wenyun, and you know Zhou Ruji's character better than I do. What do you think about this matter?"

Wei Yueyan, who was looking straight at her nose and heart, was taken aback when she heard the words, why did the pavilion master ask for her own opinion on such a big matter, if she made a mistake in her judgment, what should she do?She was hesitating, but she heard Feng Yinran patiently and gently urging: "Wei Yueyan, don't be nervous, just say it."

Quickly raised his eyes to see the expression of the pavilion master, Wei Su tried his best to calm his sudden heartbeat, and said with a blushing face: "In the eyes of my subordinates, if the Queen Mother Zhou is not really mad, she has already guessed The father and son Wang have a trump card that can be arrogant, so they want to use Chu Xia to lure her real target, Mr. Chu." Seeing that the pavilion master did not interrupt her, Wei Yueyan gradually became bolder and continued to say according to her own thinking: " According to ordinary people's thinking, they would probably block the people she brought with her, or go the other way and then explore the secret room. However, given the habit of observing the Queen Mother Zhou's handling of things, I'm afraid she will know both of them. Send heavy troops to ambush, and find another secret place to hide the real Chu Xia."

Zhou Ruji...Feng Yinran nodded. Although she had never seen the method of the Empress Dowager Zhou herself, she also learned a lot from the secrets of various countries sorted out by Qianxing Pavilion. It is indeed her usual method to find another way. "Since the Empress Dowager Zhou intends to lure snakes out of the cave, her drama will definitely be reported to Prince Li's mansion. We might as well ignore both sides and let them make their own troubles." Chu Ligui was arranged by the little emperor's side these days, Chu Boluan and his son would never tell him this matter on purpose, and asking him to take this muddy water also virtually guaranteed Chu Ligui's safety. "Wei Su, you go back first, let your elder brother Xu Su continue to watch every move of Tai Gong, since she wants to smuggle Chu Xia away, she won't leave any clues behind. As for me? "," he said, looking at Fang Linyuan who smiled but said nothing, "Is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince interested in accompanying me to the Princess Mansion to have a look?"

Speaking of the unruly and willful eldest princess Chu Wansi, Fang Linyuan couldn't help frowning when thinking of how she almost used her privileges to forcefully take Feng Yinran back to the princess mansion that day, Feng Yinran couldn't help laughing, regardless of Wei Yueyan Still present, he asked with a smile: "Why, Your Highness, are you afraid that she will really rob me to become a consort?"

"That depends on whether she has the ability." Seeing that Wei Su hurriedly exited the room knowingly and wittily, Fang Linyuan dropped the velvet antler in his hand, suddenly hugged Feng Yinran and kissed his lips involuntarily, "You still want me to be In front of that eldest princess, can you prove that you are mine?"

Biting Fang Linyuan's lips hard, leaving a red mark, Feng Yinran gave him a provocative smile, adjusted her clothes and walked out, "I promised Xiao Chuzi, and I will give him an explanation tomorrow at the latest. If there is no trace of Chu Xia tonight, this Pavilion Master would not mind being Chu Wansi's fifth son-in-law, so I can find out the news."

Knowing that he was joking, Fang Linyuan chased after Feng Yinran with a look of jealousy, "Why don't you let me go for you."

"You dare!" Feng Yinran blurted out, only to realize that she had fallen into Fang Linyuan's trap, and said angrily, "Forget it, you'd better stay here!" After speaking, she started to leave.

Fang Linyuan, who was in a good mood, followed behind cheekily, "Okay, okay, I just want you to understand that if we lose you, Feng Yinran, we, Fang Linyuan, might not be able to live alone..."

"What nonsense!" He quickly covered his mouth, although he was the least willing to believe the word "one word becomes a prophecy", Feng Yinran, who has seen too many strange events, finally began to believe in ghosts and gods, or so I don't want to hear the slightest sad words in the comfortable days, "Okay, what about death and life."

Fang Linyuan smiled, stopped the topic obediently, and immediately turned to talking about the herbs he had collected, while following Feng Yinran towards the princess mansion.
