Before entering the palace, I went to Liluo's house and rested for more than a month. Xiao Chuyi's injury should be almost better.
"Xiao Chu!" When I entered the door, I saw Xiao Chuyi was teaching Qibao to practice martial arts, and I greeted him loudly.
"Master Jun?" He was very surprised to see me, but he could see that he was very happy. There was a rare smile on his ice sculpture-like face, "You're fine!"
I smiled, but my heart was very bitter, and the remaining days were probably numbered.
"Young Master!" Linluo also brought the tea bowl and smiled at me.
"Ruiluo, I still miss your bean curd flower!" I grinned at her.
"Brother Jun!" At this moment, the little cute Babao rushed towards me softly, bumping me into his arms, sticky and unwilling to let go, I hugged her, and a smell of milk lingered in my nose.
"Humph!" On the side, Qibao was still not very friendly to me, and his bright eyes did not hide his hostility.
But today, Qibao's eyebrows looked like a person, but I couldn't remember it for a while, so I had to give up.
"Qibao is still so stubborn!" I couldn't help but pat his head.
Unexpectedly, Qibao shook his head, straightened his neck, and said displeasedly:
"I told you my name is Sun Yanche!"
"Qibao! Don't be rude to Brother Jun!" When Linluo saw this, she hurriedly pulled him away, "Come on! Help my sister make tofu flowers!"
Qibao was still stubborn, and was stunned by Lingluo before walking away with a blushing face. Babao thought for a while, smiled sweetly at me, and quickly climbed down from me and followed Qibao closely.
What a pair of living treasures! I smiled and shook my head, and sat down with Xiao Chuyi.
"Xiao Chu, I'll cut to the chase." I stopped laughing and asked him seriously, "Now can you tell me who that person is?"
Xiao Chuyi's hand holding the tea stopped for a while, but did not speak.
Is he still hesitating
"Then let me guess! She has a very high position in the Xi Kingdom, and she can even easily control the government. Killing me is to attack my father and weaken the power of the prime minister's faction in the court. Moreover, I offended her, she hated me. To the core, this person is—" I looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Emperor and concubine!"
I saw Xiao Chuyi's eyes twitch, and although he quickly regained his composure, just a little turbulence was enough to prove that my guess was correct.
"Scholar Jun is right!" After a long while, Xiao Chuyi put down the tea bowl and admitted, "The one who sent me to kill you is indeed the emperor and concubine."
With this confirmation, I'm not trying to prove that Shun Mi did harm me, but just like this, the background of Fengyi Pavilion has become more obvious, Jun Qidao and Beichen Shaoyuan will not kill me, then the people behind the scenes will be ready to come out.
"However, I'm very surprised—" Xiao Chuyi's eyes glowed, "The first time I saw Master Jun in Qujiangyuan, he was clearly a scholar with no strength, so why did I see some martial arts in Yanqing Palace? "
"This... I did learn it for a while. The first time I just neglected my practice. Xiao Chu, you are very skilled in martial arts. I don't know how to adapt."
"So it is." Then Xiao Chuyi nodded, "Scholar Jun is a strange person, Xiao is ignorant!"
"Since the emperor and concubine sent you to kill me, why do you want to put the blame on King Xie, who is her own son?" I took out the jade pendant that Jun Qidao gave me. It is said that I held it in my hand when I was in distress.
Xiao Chuyi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a while.
"This is indeed the jade pendant of the Prince's Palace, but the emperor and concubine didn't let me do it." He looked blank.
This is strange, remembering that the one who rescued me was Beichen Shaoyuan, then he was the one who gave me the jade pendant. While ruining his mother's good deeds, he dragged himself into the water. Why did he do this? Woolen cloth? Wouldn't it be really idle to panic and look for trouble!
Can't figure it out, we looked at each other, not knowing the mystery.
"Xiao Chu, you are the commander of the emperor's imperial army. I saw that you didn't really want to kill me. Why did you listen to the dispatch of the emperor and the concubine repeatedly?" Out of concern for my friends, I asked the last question.
"That's a long story."
"Then make a long story short!"
Xiao Chuyi glanced at me helplessly and explained everything.
To put it simply, Xiao Chuyi lived with his mother before he was five years old. His mother, Chu Chu, had nowhere to go after being kicked out by the Xiao family. She was a weak woman who couldn't carry her arms and could only rely on singing to earn a living. Later, when Xiao Chuyi was born, life became more difficult. It was common for them to suffer from hunger and cold and be bullied by others.
Once, Chu Chu brought Xiao Chuyi, who was only five years old, to perform in the house of a prince and noble son. The noble boy molested Chu Chu, who was very beautiful. Chu Chu refused to obey and was beaten all over, and Xiao Chu was beaten badly. When there was no way for people to ask for help, Shun Mi, who was a concubine at the time, happened to be traveling and passing by. She stayed at this house, and she rescued Chu Chu's mother and son.
It's a pity that Chu Chu has worked hard for so many years, and has already become ill from overwork. After this dozen injuries broke out, she was unable to return to the sky, and Hong Yan died young. And Xiao Xiaochu was sent back to Xiao's house by Shun Mi, and Princess Jinhua did not dare to disobey the decree of Shun Mi, so she could only keep Xiao Xiao Chu.
Although Xiao Zhijie, the Duke of Pingguo, loves this son very much, Donglingyan is still not pleasing to the eye and makes things difficult. It can be said that Xiao Chuyi's childhood was not happy, but it is this kind of adversity that inspires Xiao Chuyi to work hard and study hard , Diligently practicing martial arts, and living in the military camp since he was a child, he has a lot of experience in marching and fighting, and became a young general with many achievements in the Xi Kingdom.
"My mother told me before my death that I must repay my benefactor, so Xiao must do her best for what the emperor and concubine told me." Xiao Chuyi looked at me guiltily again, and said firmly, "Xiao has hurt Jun Xueshi because of this, and he is also implicated. This is a sin that Xiao Mou can bear!"
"No!" I waved my hand, "My sister is not dead yet!"
"Really?" He was extremely surprised, and the ice sculpture face became angry.
"I ** took him to the Jade Cold Snow Mountain, and my father lied about his sister's death in order to avoid being poisoned again." I told him half-truths and relieved his heart.
"That's good!" He sighed in relief. I can see that he was actually more kind-hearted than ordinary people when he was a child, but he was involuntarily doing many things, and his face all day long was just because he was not used to laughing.
"Then how did you end it?" I couldn't help worrying about him.
"Isn't it urgent that King Xie ordered me to inspect Jiangdong! And soon I will be transferred." Xiao Chuyi reminded.
"I forgot!" I patted my head, and this was my help. "What is in that brocade bag, why is King Xie willing to help you?"
"The emperor and the concubine only said that if you give this brocade bag to the king at a critical moment, he will know that I am the concubine of the emperor." Xiao Chuyi shook his head in confusion, "I also find this strange, the king of the Xie treats the emperor. The concubine is submissive on the surface, but seems to be against her in secret, which is unpredictable."
Beichen Shaoyuan can make people see through it so easily, so he can't be called Beichen Shaoyuan!
Afterwards, I said goodbye to Xiao Chuyi, and I had to seize the time to see Beichen Tianheng.
