Empress Chu

Xiaoman was about to drop the letter, but looked at the mark on the envelope, stopped again, clutched the letter, snorted, and strode out.

Ah Le didn't blame her at all, so what if she had a bad temper, she risked her life to kill Miss Protector, unlike Miss Chu Tang, she had a good temper, but when something happened, let alone Miss Protector, she would push Miss out.

"She hid to read the letter," she said, "I went to watch her secretly, lest she tear it up."

She went out and stood at the gate of the hall, staring at Xiaoman who was hiding in the corner reading the letter.

Only Chu Zhao and Xie Yanlai were left in the hall.

"Yan Lai." Chu Zhao said, "Sit down and talk."

Xie Yanlai frowned, didn't say anything this time, and sat down opposite Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao pointed to the table and said, "Have some tea."

Xie Yanlai picked up the teacup and drank it down, almost spit it out again, raised her sleeve to cover her mouth: "Did you do it on purpose? The medicine I made before almost choked me to death, and now this tea will kill me again!"

Chu Zhao smiled, and pushed the fruit plate on the table over: "There are candied fruit, take a quick bite."

Chapter 26 Future

Xie Yanlai doesn't bother to eat candied fruit, he is not a three-year-old child.

"In short, my mother is also very powerful." Chu Zhao continued to be sad and happy to Xie Yan, "She is very popular and has a powerful family background. For the death of my mother, those people blamed my father, so they have always been unreasonable and never appeared in front of us, so it is normal for me not to know their existence in my life."

Xie Yanlai asked, "Which life?"

Chu Zhao giggled: "I was wrong, at that time."

It didn't sound right at the time, but whatever, Xie Yanlai scoffed if there was any truth in her mouth.

But they continued their love and respect for their mother to her, and finally they were used by Xiao Xun. Chu Zhao sighed, they were nameless, they were only called her mother, let alone what they looked like.

Chu Zhao looked from the window and saw Xiaoman hiding not far away, Xiaoman must have been among them in that life, maybe he was there when the capital was in turmoil.

In that life, she was married to Xiao Xun, and there was no fight with Xiao Xun's people, but Xiaoman and the others must have fought for her in other places for her safety.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhao's eyes soured and tears fell.

Xie Yanlai turned his gaze away and snorted: "There's nothing to cry about, just be content."

Even though he said that, he stretched out two fingers and pushed the fruit plate towards Chu Zhao.

"I'm happy." Chu Zhao said, sniffed, wiped away tears, and looked down at the letter.

She wrote to her father and told her that she had lived once. In order to convince him, she pretended to be dreaming, but she emphasized to her father that it was very real, and she could clearly feel the passage of time every day.

She told her father what happened in that life, the fight between the crown prince and the third prince, Xiao Xun's ascension to the throne, and what she experienced, without concealing the details.

So this letter is extremely important, it can't be wrong, it can't be seen by others, she dare not even entrust Uncle Zhong, but fortunately there is Ah Jiu——

She glanced at Xie Yanlai.

Xie Yanlai noticed immediately, what are you doing?What look?Creepy!

Fortunately, Chu Zhao looked away again, lowered his head and continued to read the letter.

Forget it, the girl was immersed in her father's reply, and it's not surprising that her thoughts wandered around the world. It's not surprising that she didn't care about her, Xie Yanlai also turned her eyes away again.

She told her father such an unbelievable thing, but his father did not question or reprimand him at all, but wrote back to her seriously, explaining, Chu Zhao stretched out his hand and lightly brushed the words written by his father.

The first thing my father said was, Ah Zhao, you have suffered.

Chu Zhao's eyes blurred again.

Only her father in this world would love her so much.

After she lost her father in that life, no one in the world cared about her anymore.

There was a slight sliding sound next to his ear, Chu Zhao raised his eyes slightly, and saw that the fruit plate on the table had been pushed to his hand, and seeing her look over, the slender fingers on the other side of the fruit plate quickly retracted.

Chu Zhao couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, and reached out to pick up a piece of candied fruit from the fruit plate and put it in his mouth.

"Zhang Gu said that your father met him in person." Xie Yanlai looked into the hall and said, "Take the letter and let him go to rest, and see him in person the next day, write back to him, and thank him—"

Well, here he concealed something, Zhang Gu said: "General Chu also said thank you."

He was very angry at the time: "Thank me for what, it's not me who delivered the letter."

Zhang Gu said: "General Chu, thank you for taking care of Miss Ah Zhao."

At that time, the expression on Zhang Gu's face was still very strange, a look of gratification and sadness, and said Ah Jiu, you have suffered.

What's going on? I don't know why. Did that Vice Admiral Zhong frame him?

Xie Yanlai snorted.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Zhao asked with a smile, "Didn't my father thank you? Don't worry, Brother Zhang will definitely tell my father that you asked him to deliver the letter, and my father will definitely thank you."

Xie Yanlai was too lazy to talk about this with her.

"Zhang Gu said." He glanced at the girl, "Your father seems to be in good spirits."

Chu Zhao nodded and hummed.

"However." Xie Yanlai said again, he didn't just say good things, comforting people is the most boring thing, it's better to recognize the reality, "Zhang Gu said, your father's place has a very strong smell of medicine, he said your father looked The spirit, the spirit in the eyes is not the real spirit, it is stimulated by the medicine."

Chu Zhao looked sad, but this time he did not shed tears.

"I know," she said. "My father is exhausted. His time is numbered."

Sickness is not life.

She could no longer be fooled by Xiao Xun and changed the fate of that life.

But she didn't have magic medicine, so she couldn't cure her father's illness.

Xie Yanlai was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Zhao looked down at the letter, and flattened his mouth: "Father said, let me not be afraid of separation, if I miss him, he will always be there."

If you miss it, it will always be there, Xie Yanlai sneered, tricking the child into listening.

"I'm asking you what you plan to do in the future," he said.

future?Chu Zhao looked up at him: "The future? What future?"

Xie Yanlai frowned and looked at her: "Your future, when that little kid grows up, what are you going to do?"

Her future, Chu Zhao looked at the young man in front of him, and smiled: "What do you call Your Majesty? It means I am in front of you. I don't blame you for being rude."

Xie Yanlai snorted and ignored her.

Chu Zhao lowered her head and picked up another piece of candied fruit to eat. The candied fruit spread sweetly in her mouth. She changed her comfortable posture and sat leaning against the table, saying, "My father asked me too."

She suddenly became the queen, and everyone was guessing what she was trying to guard against her. Only the closest people would ask about her future.

They didn't think she was really going to be this queen.

Also what does this word mean!The young man was sensitive and wanted to say something immediately. Chu Zhao knew his reaction a long time ago, so he spoke first with a smile.

"When the country is stable, when the threat of King Zhongshan is eliminated." She said, with a bit of longing, but also a bit of sadness, "When my father leaves without any worries, and when Ah Yu grows up, I will go to Bianjun , to where my mother and father live."

At that time, although she was still the only one left in the world, she must have lived a happier life than when she was a queen in that life.

What's more, there is Xiaoman, Uncle Zhong——

Speaking of Uncle Zhong.

She hurriedly looked at Xie Yanlai.

"Also, waiting for you—"

She reaches out.

Xie Yanlai was startled, and moved back: "What are you doing? What are you waiting for me?"

"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you." Chu Zhao smiled, raised his hand to Xie Yanlai's eyes and clenched it into a fist, "I mean, I still have to wait until you hold the military power in your hand, you are majestic, and you can take care of the clock. Uncle them."

Xie Yanlai raised her hand and waved the girl's hand away: "Just think about it, think about everything you want, and everything you want will come true."

Chu Zhao withdrew his hand and supported his chin: "Of course you have to think about it. As long as you think about it, there is hope, and you will work hard to realize it. You must not even think about it. Then there is no hope at all."

Xie Yan took a look at her: "Then what do you want to do now?"

Chu Zhaozhiyi looked at him, blinking his eyes, as if he didn't understand what he was asking.

Xie Yanlai snorted coldly: "Do you think you can control Xie Yanfang and Deng Yi by playing this trick on them?"

Chapter 27 Trust

The young man raised his chin, raised his phoenix eyes, and looked arrogant and sneering, but his brows were unconsciously frowned, diluting his disdain.

Chu Zhaozhiyi looked at him, and felt that his appearance remained the same as before on the road, but when he looked closely, it was different, perhaps because he was wearing the official robe of the imperial guards, and his aura was stronger than before.

"Ajiu, you are so amazing." She smiled, "I have become a queen, and I can still be seen through by you."

Look at her playful smile, Xie Yanlai chuckled: "So you think you can do anything and dare to do anything after becoming a queen?"

Chu Zhao smiled: "When I'm not a queen, I dare not do anything."

That's true, Xie Yanlai sneered, and her phoenix eyes sank slightly: "It's fine if you provoke me, but you still provoke him and Deng Yi now, are these two people easy to provoke?"

Chu Zhao sat up straight: "When did I provoke you? Do you still use me to provoke your relationship with the Xie family?"

Xie Yanlai couldn't refute for a while.

"I treat you well, but you think I have bad intentions. Could it be that you are happy that I follow people from the Xie family, such as that Seventh Master, to whip you and bully you together?" Chu Zhao was indignant.

What a mess, Xie Yan came to pat the table: "Don't say these things are useless, what are you going to do by telling them that you don't trust each other?"

Chu Zhao said: "In order to let me go to court and listen to the government."

Xie Yanlai said: "Then just say it straight, tell Xie Yanfang that you don't trust Deng Yi, ask him for help, tell Deng Yi that you don't trust Xie Yanfang, ask him for help, do you think they really believe it? They are not three-year-olds child."

Chu Zhaodao: "I didn't want them to believe me, I know they don't believe me."

Xie Yanlai looked at her, and said in a drawn out voice: "It's the minister who is dull, the empress is wise, and she has a plan."

Chu Zhao smiled: "Don't be weird."

Without waiting for Xie Yanlai to speak again, she continued in a slow voice.

"This matter is very simple. It's what I said just now. You and Xie's family have a bad relationship. I didn't provoke it. Similarly, Grand Tutor Deng and Mr. Xie don't trust each other."

"And I'm not doing it to convince them that I trust one of them."

Xie Yanlai already understood, and laughed at herself, knowing that this girl is very courageous.

"It turned out that His Highness wanted them not to believe you." He said.

Chu Zhao didn't care about his changing address, so he nodded.

"Yes, I just let them know that I don't trust them either, so—" she said, smiling, "they will want to gain my trust."

Xie Yanlai was slightly taken aback, looking at the girl who was smiling, but her eyes were full of silence.

She used to hand over her trust easily, dedicating herself to that person, but in the end, her trust was worthless to her.

"Ah Jiu, I am the empress now, I have the grace to save the emperor's life, I am the person most trusted by the emperor, and I have military power in my hands."

She looked at Xie Yanlai.

"Why should I trust them? Shouldn't they be the ones to win, to gain my trust?"

……

……

Xie Yanlai looked at the girl sitting in front of her eyes, she had clear eyebrows and eyes, simple makeup and clothing, not majestic or gorgeous, but——

Even Ah Fu, who was in a panic at the inn and asked for help, had a gleam in his eyes. It was a light that was unwilling to let others down, a light that should not be underestimated, and made people nervous and alert.

Then, she rose to fame in the capital.

Now, she is queen.

He even thought he wanted to remind her and teach her how to do things.

Now she can move her fingers to make him shameless.

Xie Yanlai smiled, stood up, and bowed to Chu Zhao: "I——"

But at this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and the eunuchs whispered "Your Majesty—"
