The Mrs. Xu remained silent for a long time before avoiding Xu Rouzhi's question. She then answered the question that was on her mind, "I have my own reasons for doing this. I only hope that you can agree to this matter. "
Xu Rouzhi mocked him with a smirk, "You're very clear about how I grew up. You know what you do to me and what I will do to you, don't you? Are you sure I'll accept your deal? "
Mrs. Xu's face turned white, but she forced herself to remain calm: "I treated you badly in the past, it was my fault. But I believe you, I will definitely accept this deal. "
Xu Rouzhi looked at Mrs. Xu for a long time, and then quietly turned towards the door.
On the day of Xu Family, it was already dusk.
Chu Yixuan and Xu Chang played chess for a long time. After that, dinner was also prepared, and a sumptuous table of delicious food was set for entertaining Chu Yixuan and Xu Rouzhi.
After exiting the Mrs. Xu's room, Xu Rouzhi did not go anywhere, but silently accompanied him by her side. Mrs. Xu accompanied her, and no longer brought up the matter of the trade. However, the few times she looked at Xu Rouzhi, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself from doing so.
When he left the Xu Family, the moon was bright and the stars were thin.
The winter night's wind was very cold, and the curtains of the sedan were being lifted, causing the cold wind to blow in. Chu Yixuan looked at Xu Rouzhi, and wrapped her fox fur coat tighter: "What are you thinking about with such a heavy heart?"
Xu Rouzhi's eyes flashed: "I'm still thinking about how the Prince Qi Mansion is doing now!"
Chu Yixuan laughed: "Don't think that just because you didn't say anything, I wouldn't know."
"Then what do you know?" Xu Rouzhi asked.
Chu Yixuan smirked and laughed faintly: "No matter what the Xu Family people say, you don't have to bother with them."
Xu Rouzhi looked at him suspiciously: "What will they say to me?"
Chu Yixuan did not speak, and silently grabbed her hand. Holding it in his hand, he smiled: "You are now this king's man."
His hands were so warm.
Xu Rouzhi unknowingly took his hand away, and lazily leaned back. "Is it your living or dead person?"
Chu Yixuan sat up straight and turned his body to the side, looking at me without moving at all. "There's no need to say anything, and there's no need to do anything. Just remember what I said just now."
Xu Rouzhi looked at him silently for a long time before she closed her eyes.
The Prince Qi Palace was very quiet. After sending Warm Xiang to rest, Xu Rouzhi then asked Bi Su: "How is it, is it progressing smoothly?"
Bi Su nodded her head and said softly: "Yes, it went smoothly. The Eastern Palace has already grasped the secrets of the tunnel and the Seven Treasure Pagoda.
Xu Rouzhi nodded, it would be better if she made his move earlier, and start earlier, it would also be better if she finished it earlier.
Bi Su waited for Xu Rouzhi to take off her makeup and wash up before tidying up the bed. She looked at Xu Rouzhi: "Princess, have you rested?"
Xu Rouzhi crawled into bed, "I've already been running around for the whole day, and I'm already exhausted."
"Crown’s Master invites the Duke and Princess back … Have you ever tried to make things difficult for the wangfei? " Bi Su asked softly.
Hm? Bi Su was worried, the Eastern Palace was about to get their way, would the Crown’s Master kill her to silence her?
"Of course not." Xu Rouzhi laughed and comforted her, "Don't worry, the Eastern Palace is about to win. Right now is the time to focus on dealing with Chu Yixuan.
Bi Su said softly, "From today onwards, I will follow you wherever you go."
Xu Rouzhi patted the back of Bi Su's hand, and her tone became gentle: "Thank you, Cousin."
Bi Su nodded her head, and just as he was about to put down the curtain, Xu Rouzhi pulled her sleeves and asked softly: "Cousin sister, do you know how my mother left the Xu Mansion?"
Bi Su was startled. "How did Aunt leave the Xu Mansion? This... Of course it's because Madam is so jealous, that's why Aunt was forced into the Xu Mansion, right? "
Thinking back to when Cheng Wan had left, Bi Su was still young, so she didn't know the reason behind her departure.
Xu Rouzhi asked again, "Then, before my mother married the Crown’s Master, did you know what happened to her and the people she met?"
Bi Su shook her head. "I was born only after Aunt was married, and my parents … "Therefore, I am not sure about the past."
Seeing Xu Rouzhi sink into silence, Bi Su asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Did anyone tell you about your aunt today? "
"Nope." Xu Rouzhi shook her head, since Bi Su was unsure, she should keep it a secret for now! Before she received news of Cheng Wan, she was also unable to determine whether or not what she had said was true or false.
"I wonder where my aunt is now." Bi Su sat on the side of the bed and lowered her head, feeling a little sad.
Xu Rouzhi said: "If she is still living in this world and doesn't care about you or me, then she would be neglecting her duty too much!"
Bi Su was startled, she raised her head and looked at Xu Rouzhi: "This is …"
Xu Rouzhi wanted to say, wasn't it?
If it was as Mrs. Xu had said, Cheng Wan had abandoned her for a private relationship, then wasn't Cheng Wan a little too selfish? Even if she didn't love Xu Chang, what about the daughter that was born in October? How could she be so ruthless as to abandon him and leave him for more than ten years?
"No, aunty can't be such a person …" Bi Su frowned, "Aunt is not looking for us, there must be something hard to explain. Who knows, maybe she has already lost her freedom … Cousin, you must believe in your own mother, and must not fall into the trap of being separated from others! "
"I know, Cousin." Xu Rouzhi waved her hand, "I'm so tired, go to sleep, ah."
Bi Su quietly stood up, looked at Xu Rouzhi, and then closed the curtain.
"Don't go out again tonight, Cousin." Inside the tent, Xu Rouzhi instructed.
"I know." Bi Su replied softly.
As long as Bi Su did not send any more messages to the Xu Mansion, the battle between the Eastern Palace Clan and the Prince Qi Palace would come to an end soon!
Although she expected that the Eastern Palace would very soon take action against the Prince Qi Palace, Xu Rouzhi still did not expect that the competition would come so quickly.
— — Not long after she fell asleep, Xu Rouzhi was woken up by an abnormal noise!
Bi Su quickly appeared in front of the bed. She brought her jacket over and said anxiously: "Princess, please wake up. Something has happened to the Eight Treasures Pavilion."
Warm Xiang had also rushed over in a hurry. As she entered, she anxiously put on her clothes, "Royal Concubine, Big Sister Bi Su, quickly get up and hide for a while!"
Xu Rouzhi quickly put on her clothes: "The people from the Eastern Palace are here?"
"No, they're not from the East Palace." Bi Su said, "It's the imperial guards sent by the palace."
Bi Su quickly packed the things up, causing Xu Rouzhi to be a little surprised. "Bi Su, why are you packing your things?"
Bi Su did not answer, but pulled Xu Rouzhi and ran out. Warm Xiang anxiously shouted from behind her, "Princess, wait for me! Sister Bi Su, wait for me! "
Xu Rouzhi grabbed Bi Su, "Bi Su, are you trying to escape with me?"
Warm Xiang stopped behind her in shock. "Big Sister Bi Su, something has happened to the Prince Qi Palace, so are you going to bring the wangfei away?"
Bi Su suddenly pressed on Warm Xiang's unconscious acupoint and Warm Xiang immediately fell limply to the ground. Bi Su supported Warm Xiang onto her bed and turned to face Xu Rouzhi and said softly: "I heard that the crown prince used the Buddha to invite His Majesty to the Seven Treasures Pagoda, and His Majesty would soon discover the secret of the Seven Treasures Pagoda. This is a place of conflict, before they notice us, let's hurry up and leave! "
"No way!" Xu Rouzhi said, "Victory has not been decided, now is not the time for us to leave."
"Why?" Bi Su was surprised, "Could it be that the Prince has already revealed his plan to you? Are you sure that the Prince Qi Palace will win? "
"Don't be anxious," Xu Rouzhi consoled Bi Su. "Since Chu Yixuan dared to reveal the secret of the secret to the Eastern Palace, he must have a way to deal with tonight's matter! Let's see how things are going before we decide whether to leave or not. "
"Cousin sister, the reason why Crown’s Master has been on guard for so many years is to help the crown prince eliminate his influence and stabilize his power. He wouldn't fall for it so easily and let the crown prince take the wrong step, right?"
"No," Xu Rouzhi said in an exceptionally calm voice, "I believe that Chu Yi would never dig his own grave. — Bi Su, let's go over and take a look!"
Bi Su was startled. "Now might be the best time for us to leave. Won't we leave? "
"Don't worry." Xu Rouzhi patted Bi Su, "It's so lively, let's go take a look!"
In any case, if Eastern Palace and Xu Chang wanted to silence them, where could she and Bi Su escape to? Instead, she would stand by Chu Yixuan's side and watch how Chu Yixuan fights against Eastern Palace. With this period of tribulation, he might be able to ask for Chu Yixuan's help in the future when he comes to look for him.
Since Xu Rouzhi refused to leave, Bi Su could only put down her luggage.
Since Xu Rouzhi wanted to gamble, she could only gamble with him! If the Prince Qi Palace was truly unable to fight against the Eastern Palace, then the Crown’s Master may really be able to fulfill their promise and pass on the news of their aunt to the two sisters.
Being far away from the Eight Treasures Pavilion, Xu Rouzhi and Bi Su were stopped.
In the Prince Qi Palace, the Imperial guards were everywhere!
Especially outside the Eight Treasures Pavilion, there was a layer upon layer of the imperial guards, making it so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Xu Rouzhi was stopped, and was unable to approach the Eight Treasures Pavilion. She hurriedly said from the side: "This is my Princess Qi, can you also not enter?"
That imperial guard said expressionlessly: "His Majesty ordered that no one is to approach the Eight Treasures Pavilion, please wait, Your Highness."
Did the Emperor really give such an order? Could it be that Chu Yixuan miscalculated?
Xu Rouzhi's heart could not help but sink.
She had originally thought that before the people from Eastern Palace had pounced on them, Chu Yixuan had destroyed the tunnel, and then bite back and said that the Eastern Palace was framing Prince Qi Palace, with the intention of slandering the Prince Qi Palace. However, from the looks of it, the tunnel should have been found out, which was why it was so lively in front of the Eight Treasures Pavilion.
If the tunnel was not destroyed, how was Chu Yixuan going to explain this to his Royal Father?
Even if his organization didn't take the bait and didn't automatically come to deliver information when they saw the lantern hanging outside the window, but what was the use of building a four-way tunnel? That had to be a reasonable explanation, right?
What kind of explanation could he think of to dispel the doubt in his Royal Father?
Xu Rouzhi couldn't think of any reason for Royal Father to forgive him for cultivating such a mystical tunnel. Not only would it lead to the Seven Treasure Pagoda, it would also allow him to cultivate in various mysterious places within the Ji City.
Just as he was feeling suspicious, Chu Yixuan suddenly wrapped himself with the fox fur coat and led Lu Ming slowly towards the Eight Treasures Pavilion steps.
"Ai, ai …" Xu Rouzhi immediately waved her hand at Chu Yixuan, "Chu Yixuan … "Your Highness!"
Chu Yixuan heard her voice and slowly turned his head. Xu Rouzhi mouthed silently at him: "What's going on?"
Chu Yixuan glanced at her, but then turned and walked toward the Eight Treasures Pavilion with a frown.
Chu Yixuan's expression made him feel as if five words had floated down from the sky:
This was not good …
