Sima Hui smiled, but did not deny it.
After getting along with Chu Lian in the northern border for a long time, Sima Hui understood Chu Lian's character quite well.
She didn't force Chu Lian to tell her about their young couple, but changed the subject and said: "Lian'er, I have no other intentions, and I am not a lobbyist sent by His Royal Highness, I just came to tell you some facts." .”
Chu Lian frowned slightly puzzled.
fact
When Sima Hui saw the confused eyes on her small face, she knew she didn't know anything.
Sighing in my heart, I was annoyed that He Changdi kept everything secret, and suppressed all bitterness and hatred in my heart. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, King Jin knew the reason, and their young couple might really have a baby. Grievances come.
"The silver mine at the border between He Changdi and King Jin was investigated."
Chu Lian's eyes widened in surprise.
Are you kidding me, silver mine? Once this thing is discovered, it must be reported to the imperial court immediately. The Ministry of Household Affairs will immediately prepare a memorial to Emperor Taiping. After reading the memorial, Emperor Taiping will let the cabinet select the most suitable person to lead the team to mine.
There is a law in the Great Wu Dynasty that no one can mine silver mines alone, not even the prince!
Why is He Changdi so courageous that he even opened a mine with King Jin!
Thinking of his husband and wife in the north, and He Changdi's underlings who could not see the end, Chu Lian was also slightly startled. She blamed her for not reading the original text, and did not know if there was anything about the silver mine in the back.
No wonder he was so rich and powerful at that time, he bought jewelry for her, and gave her a store. When she asked, he only said that the money belonged to him, and he didn't earn it by improper means. Good to talk to her.
Damn, it's not easy to tell her, this is simply silver from private mines.
If Emperor Taiping really wanted to care about it, this crime was not a small one, and it was more than enough to deprive him of his official title and title.
"Your Majesty knows?" Chu Lian's voice trembled unconsciously when he asked.
Sima Hui nodded sternly, "Your Majesty knew about it before the Spring Hunt."
Chu Lian immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and his face was not good.
"Also, Concubine Wei Gui also knew about this." Sima Hui said something that made Chu Lian collapse even more...
Chu Lian couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
"But you don't have to worry too much. His Royal Highness King Jin and Marquis Anyuan have suppressed the matter. Not many people know about it. The Holy One has acquiesced in their transfer of the silver mine to Ming Road and under the name of the court."
After all, it is his own son. Although this incident made Emperor Taiping's impression of the fourth prince, King Jin, worse, the discovery of a silver mine can be called a great achievement.
Chu Lian suddenly recalled the morning when He Changdi was with Princess Le Yao.
Sima Hui seemed to have guessed what Chu Lian was thinking.
"The reason why Marquis Anyuan accompanied Princess Le Yao two days ago was because of the order of Emperor Taiping and the threat of Concubine Wei Gui. Princess Le Yao's leg was broken by her willful fall. Marquis Anyuan was not there at that time In the distance, Concubine Wei thinks that Princess Le Yao's leg is disabled because Marquis An Yuan failed to rescue her in time."
Chu Lian's almond eyes widened in disbelief.
In the past few days, are there so many reasons for his indifference to her
It's just why He Changdi didn't tell her anything, but when she wanted to have a good chat with him and open up his heart, he always avoided her.
As if she was some kind of scourge.
Sima Hui saw Chu Lian bowed her head slightly, closed her eyes, and tightly pursed her small bright red mouth, knowing that she listened to what she said.
"Okay, I won't talk about the other things. No one can control the relationship between you and your husband. If you have time, you can ask him carefully."
After Sima Hui finished speaking, she touched Chu Lian's silky hair and directly opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped on the horse's back. With a flick of the whip, one person and one horse rushed to the ranks of generals in front.
After the Spring Hunting team entered the imperial city, they went back to their homes.
It's just that the courtiers who followed Emperor Taiping wanted to enter the palace to listen to the order. Chu Lian wanted to wait for He Changdi outside the Xuanwu Gate, but who knew that Lai Yue came here to inform He Changdi to let her go back to the mansion first.
Chu Lian thought for a while, then glanced at Lai Yue respectfully aside, she didn't tell the coachman and guards to move, but asked instead.
"Where did you go the night before?"
Lai Yue was taken aback for a moment, quickly lowered his head, and closed his eyes for a moment of panic, he tried his best to calm down and said: "Go back to the third grandma, the little one didn't go anywhere, and went back to sleep in the dark?"
Chu Lian's originally moist and clear apricot eyes turned cold at this moment, and they fell on Lai Yue, and he felt his body trembling uncontrollably.
Lai Yue lowered his head, Chu Lian didn't ask any more questions, and just looked at him like that.
In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, and told the truth, "Third grandma, you should be damned, you shouldn't lie. But it was the third young master who gave the order. Then... That night, the youngest and the third young master went to the forest to pick It was not until midnight that all the medicinal materials Wei Guifei needed were collected."
what!
Chu Lian looked at Xiang Yue in shock, his almond eyes were bigger than before.
He felt more and more that Chu Lian still didn't believe it, and his voice was sincere and forbearing, "Third grandma, the little one didn't tell a single lie, if there was any, I'll tell the little one not to..."
"Okay, I get it, I believe you." Chu Lian interrupted him, put down the curtain of the carriage and sat back in the carriage.
Concubine Wei!
Chu Lian was furious, that woman dared to bully her man!
He Changdi is an idiot with this snake spirit disease! Such an absurd and obviously tormenting reason also agreed? It really pissed her off.
Although Yue Yue clearly felt that the third grandma was a little angry, the carriage parked outside the imperial city did not move.
The third grandma is going to wait for the third young master to return home together
Yue Yue suddenly became happy. During the cold war between the third young master and the third grandma these two days, he was the one who suffered the most.
He felt sorry for himself.
With his back straight, He Changdi walked quickly on the white jade steps leading out of the palace.
His face was pale, and his thin lips, which were originally healthy, were slightly pale and peeled. Sometimes he couldn't help but cough twice, obviously sick.
It's just that his temperament is cold and his face is stern, but his sick appearance makes people feel a little more morbidly beautiful.
Walking on the road of Xuanwu Gate, his deep eyes were slightly lowered, and he didn't raise his eyes slightly until he approached.
Just at a glance, he saw a familiar carriage parked outside the palace gate, and the guards of Lai Yue and Hou Mansion stood beside the carriage.
He Changdi's thick eyes lit up, like two glowing lights lit up in the pitch black night.
The originally cold atrium seemed to be instantly surrounded by a warmth, which made him want to sigh comfortably.
Unable to help himself, He Changdi quickened his pace.
Laiyue saw him from a long distance away, and Laiyue couldn't enter the palace gate at this time, so he could only stand at the palace gate and wave to He Changdi.
At this time, He Changdi seemed to see the moonlight through the clouds and mist, and he didn't dislike the increasingly stupid appearance, but he greeted him in a good mood.
As soon as he came out of the palace gate, he said with a smile on his face: "Third young master, you have finally come out of the palace. Third grandma has been waiting for you for more than half an hour!"
He Changdi's eyes were bright, but his complexion didn't change. He was still like an iceberg. He said in a calm tone, "After I get on the carriage, I will tell you to go back home."
More and more smiling should be.
He Changdi confessed this sentence, then turned around and quickly got into the carriage.
There was only Chu Lian in the carriage, and Wen Qing and Lan seemed to expect that he would ride in the carriage with Chu Lian when he went back, so they all went out to ride horses.
Chu Lian lay sideways on the couch on the side of the carriage. The couch was covered with a thick cashmere blanket, which was very soft. She was also covered with a small coral-colored velvet blanket. He frowned slightly, obviously not sleeping well.
He Changdi sat next to Chu Lian in two steps, and with a push of his arms, he hugged him into his arms.
Ask Chu Lian to sit on his lap and rest her head on his generous shoulder.
Chu Lian didn't sleep deeply, and he woke up as soon as he moved.
Seeing sitting in his arms in this posture at this time, seeing his slightly pale face, for some reason her heart was slightly sour, and she couldn't help but shed tears again.
Chu Lian hugged his neck with one hand, and wiped his tears with the other.
She was a little annoyed at herself, what happened to her, why she shed tears at every turn, it was obviously not like this before.
When He Changdi saw Chu Lian's face full of tears that day, his heart ached so much, but now that he saw her crying again, he couldn't bear it anymore.
He reached out and lifted her thin pointed chin, kissed away the teardrops on her cheeks with his thin lips, and gently kissed the wet and red corners of her eyes along the tears.
"It's my fault that Lian'er doesn't cry." He didn't know how to comfort others, so he just said a few words in reverse.
But the deep and emotional voice had a miraculously stable power, which made Chu Lian's mood calm down very quickly.
The tears quickly stopped under such gentle comfort.
Chu Lian sniffled, then put her slender arms around He Sanlang's neck, and buried her face in He Changdi's chest.
He Changdi called softly: "Lian'er?"
"He Changdi, let me lean on for a while, I feel uncomfortable, and I don't want to talk now." Because it was buried in his chest, Chu Lian's voice sounded muffled.
He Sanlang pursed his thin lips, put his right arm around her waist to hold her tightly, and put his left hand on her back to gently caress her. This movement seemed to be coaxing a child who had been greatly wronged.
At this time, the carriage moved slowly.
He Changdi didn't speak, he just glanced at Chu Lian and kissed the hair on top of Chu Lian's head from time to time. Feel the familiar touch of the girl in her arms and the taste that she will never forget no matter what.
Chu Lian held his chest tight for a while, then slowly let go and raised her head, her eyes fell on He Changdi's face.
It can be seen that he has had a bad life these two days, the blue stubble has appeared, his lips are also pale and peeling, and there is still a faint blue color under his eyelids.
Chu Lian couldn't hold back, and raised her head to kiss his stubbled chin. There was a tingling sensation on her lips, which was not uncomfortable, very special.
He Changdi's body froze suddenly following Chu Lian's active light kiss, and froze for two seconds, then his eyes regained their brilliance, and he just looked at her so intently, as if blinking, the little woman in his arms would Disappear.
