The carriage suddenly stopped a hundred and ten meters away from the palace gate, and the coachman was heard cursing: "This is a spilled goods throwing things on the street." As he spoke, he was heard jumping out of the carriage to remove the obstruction. Xia Chuxin just poked his head out of the window, and suddenly came up with a face, and his face was dirty and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, so he heard the man say softly: "The road is far away, and the second lady needs to take care of it all the way." The son sent a message to the princess and appointed the second lady to be the envoy. ”

After that, a glance at the person disappeared without a trace, Xia Chuxin hurriedly put his head back into the car, and recalled the person's words, did he want to tell the princess to let her accompany Su Huaiyu all the way as a messenger to send her relatives? Maybe the second brother is not very sure that he can succeed on the road, after all, Wusu's greeting group has also arrived today, and there will be many masters in Dachu's send-off group.

Entering the palace gate, I was going to stop the carriage and walk to the inner palace, carrying the purse with a worker to the Yicui Palace, at this time there was a lively scene in front of the palace gate, and from time to time there were palace people carrying boxes and saucers in and out. Xia Chuxin met a familiar girl beside Su Huaiyu at the door of the main hall, and asked, "Where is your princess?" ”

The little girl had seen Xia Chuxin, she recognized it, and replied: "The slave maid has seen the second miss." Princess, leaning on her body, resting in the inner room. ”

Xia Chuxin frowned, and felt a little sad in his heart, in the end, it was not good to be the daughter of the royal family.

"How can the princess's body leave for Wusu tomorrow?"

When the little girl heard Xia Chuxin's words, her eyes suddenly turned red, she knelt on the ground, and said: "Second Miss, the bottle knows that you have great powers, and you can speak up and down, so you can save our princess, the princess has been weak since she was a child, where can she withstand the journey of thousands of miles." Since His Majesty promised the prince of Wusu to take the princess away, our princess has not eaten, and her body has lost a lot of weight. ”

Seeing that the little girl said sincerely, Xia Chuxin was also quite moved. But where is she as powerful as she said, and I've tried to cross over, but I can't go back at all, if I can go back, I'm just a gesture of deleting a few words and typing a few words, but now, all this seems to be in vain.

"Get up, I'll go see the princess first."

Pick the bottle up and follow her to the back room. When the curtain was raised, he smelled a bitter smell of decoction, and Su Huaiyu on the couch was already weak and unbearable with a gust of wind after only a few days of not seeing it, and on his pale little face were two deep-set eyes, and the brilliance in the eyes in the past was now gone. The tiny body lay on the brocade, like a fresh walking corpse.

Xia Chuxin's eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears, thinking that in the past she was screaming by her sister beside her, but now it is such a scene, even if the second brother really did something shady, he can forgive all of it just for Huaiyu.

Sitting on the edge of the couch, Xia Chuxin called softly: "Huaiyu." ”

Su Huaiyu didn't respond, and his eyes didn't touch at all, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Huaiyu, I'm my beginner's sister, I'm here to see you."

There was still a dead silence.

Xia Chuxin turned his head and asked Xiang Bottle, "How long has the princess been like this?" ”

With a bitter face, the bottle said, "Since Your Majesty sent a decree to the princess to go to Wusu with Prince Wusu, the princess began to fall ill, and she didn't take medicine, food, or words. The queen mother was by her side day and night, hoping that the princess would say a word, but the princess was lying like this. ”

There are mixed feelings in my heart, things have not fallen on me, maybe no one can say that I have experienced it, I was discarded by the closest people, all my hopes were disappointed, and it should have been a bright future and a worry-free golden branch and jade leaf, but it was abandoned by my most admired father in this way, as a tribute to the intersection of the two countries. No one can accept such a thing safely, let alone that she is still so young.

Waving his hand to Bottle, signaling her to go out first, Bottle bowed and retreated. At this time, only Xia Chuxin and Su Huaiyu were left in the hall.

took out the earrings in the purse and handed them to Su Huaiyu's eyes, Su Huaiyu's eyes lit up in an instant, as if he was revitalizing, and suddenly reached out and snatched the earrings into his hand.

"Where's Brother Tianyi?" Su Huaiyu was angry.

Xia Chuxin thought that these earrings might be the love of the two, it seems that Su Huaiyu is not desperate, but waiting for the second brother.

"The second brother is already planning to rescue you, you must take care of yourself, so as not to waste the second brother's hard work." Xia Chuxin attached to Su Huaiyu's ear and said.

When Su Huaiyu heard this, she looked at Xia Chuxin, a poignant smile appeared on her face, and said, "Sister Chuxin, thank you." Tell Brother Tianyi that I must be fine. ”

"Good. I'll talk to my second brother when I get back. ”

remembered the words written on the note: The road is far away, save Huaiyu. Xia Chuxin prayed that he had not misunderstood, the second brother was to rescue Huaiyu on the way to Wusu, and the reason why he chose to implement the plan on the way may be because of the second brother's loyalty to the country as a Chu person.

"Sister Chuxin, when will Brother Tianyi come to save me? Can I go with you right now? Su Huaiyu said earnestly.

Xia Chuxin shook his head, "Second brother will implement the plan after you leave tomorrow, so you must take care of yourself before this, and you must not act rashly." Also, at today's practice banquet, you must ask Your Majesty to ask me to accompany you all the way as a send-off envoy. If the second brother is not good on the road, we can also take care of it inside and outside. ”

Su Huaiyu listened carefully, for fear that he would miss a link.

"I don't have anything else to advise, it's just that you, you must take good care of yourself, the road is far away, and I don't know what will happen along the way, I hope the princess will take good care of herself for the sake of the second brother." Xia Chuxin can only settle down like this.

Su Huaiyu nodded again.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and I'll follow my family to the kilometer practice banquet later, and I'll see you later." Xia Chuxin got up in a hurry, if it weren't for this, she could have sat for a while, but if she had these plans in her heart, she felt that staying here any longer would arouse the suspicion of others, she had always been such a person.

said goodbye to Su Huaiyu, walked out of Yicui Palace, and suddenly followed a short palace person, who said that he was ordered to send the second lady out, Xia Chuxin didn't care, so he followed the palace person. The road in the palace Xia Chuchu is not very familiar, but he feels that the way back is different from the road when he came, and he thinks that the palace is so big, it is not understandable to come and go without taking the same road. When passing through a garden, I suddenly heard a sobbing sound, through the hole in the rockery, I saw a figure in a gorgeous costume jumping into the pool, Xia Chuxin hurriedly bypassed the rockery, but saw that there was no one here, and there was no ripple on the water, I thought I was dazzled?

turned around and wanted to leave, when suddenly a cry for help came from not far behind him: "Come on, come on." ”

Xia Chuxin heard it clearly, walked all the way to the sound, and saw a person floating on the water on the other side of the pavilion from a distance, Xia Chuxin jumped in without thinking about it, and after a few swam to the man's side, he grabbed the man's neck with one hand and swam the water to the shore with the other, and the two girls on the shore and a palace man reached out and pulled themselves up with the man, and as soon as they got ashore, they heard the two girls crying: "Niangniang, why can't you think about it so much, Niangniang." ”

Xia Chuxin glanced at the man, his gorgeous clothes were still bright, and then he looked at his face, not to mention the breath, the whole person was already swollen, and he didn't suspect in his heart, can he still recognize it at a glance if he is soaked like this?

"Which palace is this?" Xia Chuxin asked.

One of the long-faced girls hurriedly said: "This is the Xian Gui Concubine of our Changle Palace." ”

Xia Chuxin was shocked, and then looked at the corpse carefully, soaking into this ghost, you say that anyone can do this. However, isn't Concubine Xian Su Huaijin's biological mother? How could the concubine, who was second only to the queen, suddenly fall into the water? Moreover, she didn't seem to die at the moment, she had been soaked for more than three days according to this appearance.

"Ah, come on, come on, Xian Guifei Niangniang is drowning, come on." As soon as the palace people behind him heard that the drowning person was Xian Guifei, they panicked and yelled.

The roar of the palace people immediately attracted a crowd, and Xia Chuxin saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at a glance among these people.

got up and said hello to the prince, the prince was still so modest, he looked at the corpse on the ground at the beginning of Xia Chu, couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked, "What's the matter?" Who fell overboard? ”

The palace people hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the mother of the Changle Palace." ”

The prince was shocked, took two steps closer, and said, "It's really a concubine." How can a good person fall overboard? Where is the palace maid with you? ”

The two girls trembled all over, kept kowtowing, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, forgive His Royal Highness the Prince." Niangniang has been worried a lot recently, always thinking about the past by this pool and crying until late at night, the slaves and maids are just a time to turn around, who knows that Niangniang can't think of it and throws it into the water. ”

"Oh? Do you say that Concubine Xian has been worried about it lately? I still cry until late at night, do you know why? The prince asked.

The long-faced girl continued: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine Niangniang misses the Third Highness for a long time, but the Third Highness has never been close to the Niangniang, and the Niangniang will cry sadly precisely because of this. ”

"Hey. It turned out to be because of this. The concubine really can't think about it, the queen mother keeps the third brother by her side, which is the blessing of the third brother, but the third brother is too, how can she ignore her own mother for the favor of the queen mother? No matter who you put this on, you will be sad and weeping. However, is this concubine really throwing herself into the water? The prince asked.

The long-faced palace maid preemptively said: "Back to Your Highness, it's really real, the second lady of the princess's mansion also sees it really, and the body of the mother is still fished up by the second lady." ”

Xia Chuxin was full of doubts. These people seem to be convinced that this soaked inhuman-like corpse is Xian Guifei, and these people attributed the cause of death of "Xian Guifei" to the death of "Xian Guifei" in a few words, and the culprit who led to Xian Guifei's death was her own son: Su Huaijin, Su Huaijin values fame and fortune more than her own mother, so she is not close to her mother, which is the reason why she can't think about it. And when he appeared, why did he meet the Xian Guifei who threw himself into the water so coincidentally? What's more, there is a pavilion between the place where I saw someone throwing water and the place where Xian Guifei's body was found. It's too weird.

"It's true that I saw someone throwing into the water, but I didn't see who the person who threw it was, but it was this person who I fished." Xia Chuxin said that this was also the truth.

"Since the second lady has also seen someone throwing into the water with her own eyes, and the palace maid of Changle Hall will naturally not admit the wrong master, it must be that the concubine is too worried, so she can't think about it. The second lady might as well go with me to meet my father, and you can also be a witness when the time comes, this Xian Guifei is really pitiful, she has been thinking about the third brother all her life, and she died suddenly, the third brother must not be able to shirk anymore, and she must be dressed as a parent and child for three years. The prince suddenly turned his conversation to Xia Chuxin.

Xia Chuxin thought to himself, what does this matter to me? It's just that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what the prince said, thinking that Su Huaijin is not a thing, he left his own mother and ignored it, but treated the queen as his mother.

As the prince and others went to meet the Chu Emperor, the prince told the matter again, the Chu Emperor was shocked at first, and then became angry, blaming the palace people of the Changle Hall for failing to serve well, and after the prince told the Chu Emperor that it was the second lady of the Xia family who saw the Xian Guifei who was overly thoughtful and threw herself into the water, the Chu Emperor was even more angry, but what should I do if I was angry, the deceased has gone, but the living are still waiting for him to give a result that everyone is satisfied with. I had no choice but to keep this a secret in advance, and wait for Princess Huaiyu to send off Princess Huaiyu tomorrow and then start to work on the aftermath of Concubine Xian, and ask Su Huaijin, the unfilial son, to serve Concubine Xian for three years, during which he was not allowed to participate in government affairs, and the original envoy to send relatives was also changed from Su Huaijin to Su Zhao, the king of Qinghe County, who was the prince's party. And after Emperor Chu decided to send off the main envoy, he then announced that at the request of Princess Huaiyu, the second lady of the princess's mansion, Xia Chuxin, would also accompany her as the envoy and set off tomorrow.

Xia Chuxin received his life, but he felt that the death of Concubine Xian was a little too sudden, or too strange, and he also roughly understood what it meant to "just see" in this incident. The prince looks sincere and modest, but in fact, he has a bad stomach, thinking that pulling himself into the water can separate the relationship between Su Huaijin and the princess's mansion? It's ridiculous, Su Huaijin is not that kind of person.

But why is this envoy who sends relatives the sworn enemy of Qinghe County, Su Zhao?
