"Master, there is another letter from the palace." Tu Ling walked into the study with a letter.
Xiao Xu was painting at this time, and he didn't lift his head when he heard the words, "Let's put it on hold."
Tu Ling nodded and put the letter on the desk, and then he was a little worried and said, "Master, the Empress has been writing so frequently recently, is there something else going on here from Your Majesty?"
Xiao Xu drew a bird on the towering tree on the paper, and said in a light tone, "The father's thoughts are nothing more than those, if there is any action, we would already know it, the border is turbulent, and the mother and the queen are not more than that. I just want me to go back to Beijing."
"Could it be that the Empress wants you to send troops to take command again?" In recent days, the border conflict between Xixuan Kingdom and Nancang Kingdom has become more and more noisy. Although several riots have been suppressed by force, public grievances have been generated, and Nan Cangguo held his breath, and it might explode one day. So Tu Ling had this guess.
Xiao Xu's pen paused, and then continued to paint, "The mother has never given up. If she could see the situation at this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't be so worried about her life."
Since the royal father has already moved him to the Fuli Mountains, in fact, he has been removed from the position of the prince, and he is no longer qualified to compete. It is just that no one has brought this matter to the surface, but it is just a step for each other. Down.
But the queen mother has been unwilling, she is unwilling to recognize the facts, so in the past few years, she has been uniting with the Liang family, winning over the ministers of the court and the middle, to resist Xiao Ran's position, but unfortunately doing so will make the father even more displeased and even disgusted .
"Shui Ling heard news a few days ago that if the two sides go to war, the fourth prince is likely to take command. This time the news seems to have been finalized by His Majesty, and it is no longer like the previous rumors!" Tu Ling remembered this incident. , report immediately.
Xiao Xu stopped writing, "Don't blame my mother who has been sending letters over the past two days, bring the letter to me to see."
Tu Ling immediately handed over the letter on the table.
Xiao Xu tore open the letter, then took out the letter and opened it.
I saw the letter on the letter: Xuer, the battle is imminent. Whether you want to or not, the queen must ask her to fight, otherwise you will be optimistic about your little princess. If you accidentally run out and let the queen see it, don't blame the mother for being cruel. . In the struggle for imperial power, there is always someone to sacrifice.
Seeing the last word, Xiao Xu's face became cold and stern, and his mother actually hit Qingyan with her mind.
Seeing that the aura on the master's body turned cold for a moment, Tu Ling was a little surprised. When he took the letter and came over to look at it, he only understood why the master had changed.
The Queen Mother always wanted the master to come forward, but the master ignored her, so she had no choice but to take the little princess as a threat.
Take a snake and take seven inches, and the little princess seems to have become the master's weakness.
This awareness made Tu Ling frown.
"Master, the little princess is going out today, will the empress have already sent someone to do it?"
Xiao Xu stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance through the dark night.
"The queen mother never does things first before the soldiers, so when the letter came out of the palace, the order was already given."
"What do you mean, as soon as Xin arrived in Jiangnan, the Queen's concubine's people also arrived?" Tu Ling was slightly surprised.
Xiao Xu condensed his eyes, "If you guessed correctly, people have already followed Qingyan."
"Master, are we going to send someone to reinforce the little princess now?" Tu Ling was a little anxious at this time.
"It's too late." Xiao Xu's expression turned cold in an instant.
The evening wind blew into the room, blowing up the still-ink painting.
On the rice paper, the birds under the banyan tree were closed by a bird cage, and the golden cage shone with a cold light under the sun.
It is always selfish to break the shackles of wings.
Just like his mother.
In the Roe Deer Inn.
Chu Qingyan followed the sincere gesture and looked over, only to see a table under the corner of the stairs, two people wearing curtain caps were eating with their heads bowed, dressed like people from the rivers and lakes, there was nothing suspicious about it, She withdrew her gaze.
"Jin Xin, did you read it wrong?" Chu Qingyan asked.
Jinxin took a few more glances, but there was no abnormality, and couldn't help but say, "Maybe my subordinates are too cautious."
Chu Qingyan smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, we'll be on our way after we finish eating!"
A table of people nodded, and was about to start, when suddenly there was a commotion in the street.
"The city gate is closed, it will be closed early today!"
"Why is it so early today? Isn't there an hour and a half left?"
"Who knows, this regulation is just like the sky in June. It will change if it changes. How can we little people control it!"
"… "
The voice came, although it was not real, but it was able to grasp the main point.
"Eighteen, go and see, what's going on?" Chu Qingyan ordered immediately.
Xu Shiba took the order to leave, and came back after a while.
"Master, we can't go out tonight, the county magistrate ordered someone to close the city gate a quarter of an hour ago." Xu Shiba said angrily.
She closed the city gate without warning, which made Chu Qingyan raise her eyebrows slightly. She thought about it and then said, "The city gate will not be opened until tomorrow. Since it is a foregone conclusion, we can only stay here. It happened suddenly. , I am afraid that there are many people who are too late to go out and want to stay in the hotel. One of you will go to Xiaolu Inn and tell Liuguang and the others that you should book a room immediately, otherwise you will sleep on the street later. The same is true here, one of you will go to book a room with the shopkeeper, Tomorrow City As soon as the door opens, let's go."
Everyone nodded and went to work separately.
Chu Qingyan tapped the table with her fingers, calculating whether she would be able to arrive at Fuyang tomorrow if she delayed this night, but later found that it was an unknown, so she simply didn't think about it and ate at ease.
At this time, Dongting Wangyu and Xuanxi Zimo sat at another table, watching Chu Qingyan and others from a distance.
"Young Master, is that really Miss Chu? The eighteenth female college student has changed, and the more she changes, the less she recognizes it!" Xuanxi Zimo looked at it and couldn't help but complain.
"It can't be wrong, it's her."
Although time flies, five years have passed, her facial features have grown and become more refined, her height has grown longer, and she is more confident, but her temperament and small movements have not changed or disappeared over time.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of pride in the achievements of my girl when she first grew up.
This feeling is very strange, but he likes it very much.
"Then master, shall we go over and say hello?" Although he didn't know how the young master recognized it, he was very disgusted with his own master's behavior of hiding and secretly observing others, so he couldn't help suggesting.
"What are you anxious about? Didn't you see that she seemed to be being watched?" Dongting Wangyu knocked on the head of his subordinate with the fan in his hand.
"Miss Chu is in danger?" Xuanxi Zimo whispered.
"That's how it looks now."
Dongting Wangyu glanced at the people in the rivers and lakes who were wearing curtain caps all over the restaurant, her phoenix eyes narrowed and her lips slightly raised.
It seems that God has really treated him well and created such an excellent opportunity for him.
He has to take hold.
