After rebirth, I was entangled by the enemy's protons

Chapter 171 The princess must keep an eye on the minister
"Your Highness, are you crazy?!" Fan Qian finally couldn't help asking the question he had always wanted to ask.

In his opinion, Chu Zhao is simply a lunatic.

It was obvious that everything he and Fan Qiongran did was for Chu Zhao, but Chu Zhao not only didn't appreciate it, but now he is still interfering.

Even if he wants to protect himself, Fan Qian thinks it's okay to stay out of the matter, but now, he is biting them back!

Could it be because his son once snatched one of his women?But Fan Yunsheng is dead!

Fan Qian was full of doubts and unwillingness, he suppressed his hatred and looked away from Su Xuan, and looked at Chu Zhao angrily.

Chu Zhao didn't care about Fan Qian's questioning. With a sarcasm on his thin lips, he stretched out his hand and said, "Prime Minister, please."

it is finally over.

Fan Qian asked him if he was crazy.

He has already gone crazy.

The world thought that he was killing relatives righteously, but he just wanted to protect Chu Yi and clear the way for her.

Chu Yi watched Chu Zhao and a team of crane controllers take Fan Qian away, turned her head and looked at the eldest princess beside her, and nodded to each other.

Although there were twists and turns, it went well in the end.

She did everything she was supposed to do, and left the rest to time.

Chu Tingxiao continued: "As for the virtuous concubine, she colluded with the chief eunuch to endanger the safety of the palace, disrupted the order of the harem for many years, deceived the superior and the inferior, and harmed the palace people. From now on, her title of virtuous concubine will be deprived, and her status will be reduced to a nobleman. Put him under house arrest in the Baihua Palace, and do not contact the outside world until the matter is clarified."

After all, Concubine Xian is the mother concubine of the Fourth Prince, and now that Fan Qian is only in prison, he can only temporarily put her under house arrest.

Chu Yi frowned slightly when she heard the emperor's decision.

Chu Tingxiao still saved some face for Concubine Xian, or Chu Zhao.

However, there is one thing he still doesn't know, if he knows about Concubine Xian and Su Jingyuan...

She looked at the direction where Chu Zhao left, and murmured in her heart, is her fourth brother really the fourth brother?

She herself is not sure.

The emperor finally said that when the princess was assassinated, thanks to the protection of the imperial guards Xiao Yan and Yin Bing, he gave them two hundred taels of gold, and reiterated that he would reward Xiao Yan with a mansion and allow him to move freely in the capital.

As for drinking ice, it is a privileged decree: if drinking ice is married, everything will be prepared according to the rank of the county lord.

Of course, it's too early to talk about this.

But gold is real.

Chu Yi was quite happy to thank the two of them.

In Weiyang Palace.

The charcoal fire in the hall is very hot and warm, and there is a faint scent of sandalwood burning in the Pixiu incense burner.

Xiao Yan sat on the chair, with his underwear open, exposing his injured shoulder.

Chu Yi carefully removed the gauze and put on new medicine for him: "He recovered very quickly, but the arrow was really too deep, and the scar will definitely be left again..."

Her movements became softer and softer, staring at the arrow wound where bones could be seen, her eyes were reddish.

Although Xiao Yan's face was a little pale, there was a smile hidden in his eyes, and he said: "The princess knows that I have scars all over my body, isn't it all right, it's fine.

He was already satisfied to let Chu Yi apply medicine for himself.

Chu Yi looked at those old scars on his body, her eyes became sore.

She suddenly remembered that he was injured before, and she told herself the same thing.

Only now, after knowing his special physique, did she understand why he said time and time again that he would not die and that he was fine.

"Even if you're fine, it will hurt."

After saying the previous words, Chu Yi's mood became more complicated and distressed, because she knew how much darkness and thorns the man in front of her had gone through to become what she is now.

"If the princess blows to me, it won't hurt anymore." Xiao Yan said, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

Chu Yi blushed, blowing air slowly, her eyes didn't know where to look.

Xiao Yan felt that his originally painful wound, under Chu Yi's comfort, seemed to have touched a piece of cool ice in the hot summer, and it suddenly became cooler: "Princess blows, I really don't hurt. gone."

Before he knew it, Chu Yi saw the bell-shaped scar on his chest again.

That scar was something that Xiao Yan didn't have in his previous life.

She stretched out her hand and touched her slightly cool fingertips lightly: "What the hell is this?"

Xiao Yan felt that the place where Chu Yi touched him seemed to be burning hot, and something flashed through his mind, but it was very vague.

"I don't know either. Perhaps, this is the mark of the princess I loved in my previous life. This time, I will rely on it to find you." He said in a low voice.

When the bell is hot, that is when his heart beats.

Chu Yi's heart beat like thunder, and she had to look away.

She suddenly recalled that the last thing she saw before she died was Xiao Yan's grief-stricken face, and the last thing she heard was the sound of a bell coming from nowhere.

That sound seems to be guiding the wandering soul to the direction it should go.

Perhaps, this is really the mark God gave them in the dark.

The temperature in the hall became hotter and hotter, Xiao Yan thought to himself, no matter how much you love someone, you will never be satisfied.

Just when the tips of their noses were about to touch, Yin Bing suddenly came in.

"Ayi, this gold—"

Drinking ice paused, his blue eyes widened, full of surprise.

Chu Yi pushed Xiao Yan away, then grabbed his open collar, covered his chest, and said in a low voice, "That's another price!"

She turned to Yinbing, curled up her index finger nervously, and smiled: "Yinbing, why don't you take a good rest."

Holding a black box, Yin Bing walked up to Chu Yi, put the box on the table, and whispered, "I don't need this gold, so give it to Ah Yi."

Chu Yi opened the box, and inside was the 100 taels of clear gold that Chu Tingxiao had just rewarded Yin Bing.

Chu Yi suddenly looked at Xiao Yan.

There was no wave in the latter's eyes, as if he didn't understand her signal.

"Have you packed up all the things in Mingyue Pavilion? Father's mansion will be ready in half a month, and you can move out of the palace." Suddenly realizing this, she pursed her red lips. .

"It's great to be free in Shangjing, but I don't want it." Xiao Yan took Chu Yi's hand, held it tightly, and said seriously.

He didn't wait for Chu Yi to say anything, and said lightly: "I will personally reject this matter. After all, I am a very dangerous protégé of the Yong Kingdom. You should stay with the princess and let the princess supervise me."

"That mansion is the royal father's wish, don't you stay here..."

Chu Yi still wanted to persuade him, although she hoped that Xiao Yan would stay in the palace, but because she was a person longing for freedom, she knew what it was like to lose freedom, so she didn't want Xiao Yan to be trapped in the palace.

The person she loves should be an eagle soaring with wings, not a snow wolf trapped in a cage.

Xiao Yan glanced at the gold drinking ice, raised his thin lips, and said unhurriedly: "I don't need that mansion, you can pawn it, and then hand it over to your Crane Control Department for military expenses."

This is not more than a hundred taels of gold.

Yin Bing shook his head and left the hall.

Alas, she is still unemployed after all.

The atmosphere became sticky and sweet again, the breaths of the two were intertwined, and the lips almost touched together, as if there was nothing.

"Your Highness—hiss—"

Zhenxue turned around abruptly, screaming in her heart, her tone trembling: "It's okay, the servants have gone wrong, you continue."

After a while, she brought out the decocted wound medicine: "Your Highness, this is the medicine that the imperial doctor told Mr. Xiao to drink."

Chu Yi looked at Xiao Yan with a straight face, and said a word expressionlessly:

"drink."

Xiao Yan frowned, and the tip of his nose wrinkled.

"This smells really bitter, Ah Yi, I'm actually fine, can you—"

"No," Chu Yi interrupted him in a serious manner, "This is for trauma, you must drink it."

Xiao Yan's handsome face twisted a little when he smelled the bitter taste, and suddenly remembered the medicine that Zhang Xiaonian gave him when he first came to Yong Kingdom.

He suspected that there was coptis in the medicine!

Xiao Yan closed her phoenix eyes, doing mental construction for herself.

The moment he closed his eyes, Chu Yi's lips pressed against it.

His jaw was held by her, and he lifted it up. The cool breath and the sweet taste of peach candy transitioned into his mouth together.

Why are her lips so soft?
He opened his eyes in surprise in an instant, his clear pupils were filled with unbelievable joy, and his heart was filled with sweetness.

Chu Yi's long eyelashes were like two soft black feathers, falling gently on his heart.

Xiao Yan suppressed his messy breathing, grabbed her waist violently, and kissed her back forcefully.Until both of them are soaked in the sweetness of candy, until the sweetness is almost gone in the mouth.

"Here, can I drink now?"

When Chu Yi was let go by Xiao Yan, she panted unsteadily and pointed to the soup on the table.

Xiao Yan's amber eyes stared at her without blinking, and couldn't help but licked the corner of his lips: "There is no smell."

Chu Yi: "What has no taste?"

"I still want candy." He leaned close to her lips and said in a deep voice, his breath hot.

Chu Yi directly took out a candy and stuffed it into Xiao Yan's mouth, the tips of her ears were bright red.

Under her supervision, Xiao Yan finally drank the soup.

Only then did Zhenxue reappear, regained her composure, and regained her usual gentleness and calmness: "Your Highness, I got news from Xiaonian that Su Jingyuan is going back to Beijing."

"Also, this is a reply letter from His Majesty."

Chu Yi was stunned for a moment, and after reading the letter after receiving it, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Before, she hoped that Chu Lin could help investigate the matter of Fan and Tiepu, and wrote to remind Chu Lin that there might be something wrong with Su Jingyuan.

However, the second letter should not have been delivered to Beifu yet, and Chu Lin's reply was aimed at his first letter.

"As expected, Big Brother also investigated Fan and Tiepu's criminal evidence." Chu Yi said.

"Although he hasn't received my reminder yet, he said that on the day he received my letter to him, Su Jingyuan also received a letter from the prince. From that day on, Su Jingyuan's spirit was not right until recently. , Su Jingyuan suddenly decided to return to Beijing, and the eldest brother said, let us get ready."

As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. Su Jingyuan's strange behavior further confirmed his problem.

Zhenxue couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "The matter of Concubine Xian..."

Chu Yi coughed: "It seems that the one who should be prepared is Father."

She took a deep breath and ordered: "You should go and tell Father about this matter yourself, that...be more tactful, and say that everything is just Yipin's and my guess, and he can judge for himself."

"Yes, the servant understands."

Zhenxue nodded with difficulty, and backed away with a long sigh.

One is His Majesty's concubine for many years, and the other is the younger brother of His Majesty's best friend who died, and is now the general of Yan Kingdom.

To tell His Majesty about Concubine Xian's possible relationship with General Su, she didn't know how to speak for a while.

But in any case, this matter is not only related to the emperor alone, but also related to the blood of the royal family, and His Majesty must always know.

Only in this way can we be prepared so that we will not be caught off guard.

Chu Yi read the letter in his hand again, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Xiao Yan, do you know the Ashina tribe of Man Rong?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said:
"Know a thing or two. This tribe is one of the most powerful tribes among the barbarians, only weaker than the Xueyuan Royal Court. Because they have been vassals of the Yan Kingdom in history and were assimilated by the Central Plains, they have always been very close to the Central Plains.

The leader of their generation is named Ashina Yizhi. At the beginning, Luan Timorton killed his father and won the position of Chanyu. Yizhi couldn't understand this move and had a very bad relationship with Morton. "

"Ashina Yizhi..." Chu Yi repeated the name, comparing it with the name that appeared repeatedly in the letter Chu Lin wrote to herself.

Xiao Yan thought she was worried about the war in Beifu, without hesitation, he said:

"The reason why I know this is actually because Yi Zhi has a good relationship with my uncle Six Emperors. When Yi Zhi was young, he concealed his identity and studied in Yedu, learning the laws and tactics of Yong State. Brothers are equal, and the minister just asked Geng Chuan to contact Uncle Liuhuang a few days ago."

Chu Yi was surprised, she didn't expect that Xiao Yan would tell herself so much when she asked casually because of her elder brother's letter.

"The Sixth Emperor's Uncle is... Prince Jing Xiao Jichen?"

She uttered a familiar yet unfamiliar name.

Prince Jing Xiao Jichen, originally called Xiao Jichen, was the sixth youngest brother of Xiao Ji'an and Xiao Jixing.

Many years ago, when the throne of the Yong Kingdom was still undetermined, Xiao Jichen invited himself to the border of the Yong Kingdom to resist Huihe.

He joined the army when he was young, and was canonized as King Jing because of his outstanding military exploits. After Xiao Ji'an ascended the throne, he took the initiative to change his name to avoid being the emperor.

Now Xiao Jixing is the emperor of Yong Kingdom, and King Jing is in charge of Yong Kingdom's Xuanjia cavalry at the border, which is the most powerful force in Yong Kingdom.

Chu Yi recalled his previous life, after Xiao Yan returned to Yong Kingdom, it was with the help of Xiao Jichen that he led the Xuanjia cavalry to quell the Huihe Rebellion, and was named King of Yu by Xiao Jixing.

And because Xiao Jichen hated fighting for years, after handing over everything to Xiao Yan, he disappeared in Yong Kingdom.

Xiao Yan nodded: "It's him. The Sixth Emperor's Uncle may be the only pure and kind person in the Yong Kingdom's royal family. If the princess wants to know Yi Zhi, I can ask the Sixth Emperor's Uncle."

Chu Yi knew that what he meant by saying this was to tell her that he was contacting Xiao Jichen - he said the word "rebellion" that day, and now he has already started his own actions.

"You tell me about your secret contact with King Yong, and you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will think you are deep in your thoughts?" Chu Yi asked back.

Xiao Yan looked at her with deep and charming phoenix eyes.

His voice was a little lower, and he became more and more deceptive: "I am a deep-minded person, just as dangerous as your majesty fears, and he is also a hostage sent by the enemy. In order to prevent my minister from having problems, princess... you must always be tight Keep a close eye on the minister."

"However, I will never hide anything from the princess."
