When Murong Xiao saw Chu Zhao's eyes light up instantly, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Before she could speak, he said first, "Mom, you are too worried. Nothing happened to the princess."

The old lady was doubtful, but this was not the time to discuss this topic, so she nodded and walked to the house with them.

The second steward followed beside him and smiled so hard at Chu Zhao: "The younger one has already prepared a sumptuous banquet to celebrate the return of the prince and princess after their victory."

"Okay, I've worked hard for you during this period." Chu Zhao nodded and looked at Murong Xiao, "Your Majesty, the seat of the chief steward in the mansion has been vacant for a long time. In my opinion, let's bring up the second steward!"

Murong Xiao saw that as soon as she came back, she started to win people's hearts in front of the whole family. He glanced at the pug-like second manager with a slightly dissatisfied look: "You can do whatever you say. You can make the decision on this matter yourself."

Although he knew that she was doing it for the whole house to see, he couldn't refute her face at this time.

This is also the brilliance of Chu Zhao.

She always makes requests at the most appropriate time that others cannot refuse.

The second steward did not expect that his wish would come true on such a happy day without any warning, and he was so excited that he almost fainted on the spot.

The rest of the people in the mansion couldn't help but get excited when they saw the princess fulfilling the duties of the second manager with just one word.

Looking at this situation, the princess will have the final say in the palace from now on, so do they have to change the direction and hurry up to please the princess?

Qi Fengshan followed Murong Xiao, but his eyes followed Chu Zhao, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After eating the reception banquet and talking about their farewells, the old lady sympathized with them for their hard journey and asked them to go back and rest. After they had regained their energy, they could talk together again.

During this period, everyone tacitly ignored the topic of Su Nuanyu, and no one mentioned her.

Hongqiao Qingyu and Ziluo couldn't wait to talk to Chu Zhao Tiezhui alone. When they returned to Qionghua Courtyard, they closed the door of the courtyard regardless of how early it was. No guests were seen. The master and servants sat together affectionately. We talk to each other when we are together.

Tie Zhui went out for a training trip and gained a lot of things to talk about. He told the three girls about his experiences along the way, which made them stunned.

Chu Zhao drank some wine during the dinner and listened to her bragging with a hint of drunkenness. From time to time, he was amused by her and laughed out loud.

There was laughter and laughter in the small courtyard for a while, and the years were quiet.

Chu Zhao narrowed his eyes comfortably. Only those who have experienced war know how precious such peace and tranquility is.

It's a pity that such peace and tranquility are not destined to belong to her. Next, she will go to the capital to meet those useless grandchildren.

Chu Zhao sighed and was lamenting his hard-working life when he suddenly heard Tie Hammer patting his chest and saying: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you from now on."

One sentence made all her sighs and fatigue disappear, making her energetic and high-spirited again.

Xiao Chi is still waiting for her somewhere, let alone going to the capital, and there is no need to fight ten Wusuers.

Xiao Chi, wait for me, I'm coming.

In the front yard, Qi Fengshan finally had the opportunity to speak to Murong Xiao alone. The first sentence he spoke was: "My lord, do you think the people today are very strange? Why do everyone give the princess the credit for beating Wusul?"

Murong Xiao was stunned by his question, frowned and said, "What's wrong? The princess has indeed made great achievements this time."

"Of course I know that the princess has made great achievements, but doesn't the prince think that she has a high level of achievement?" Qi Fengshan said, "I am worried that the princess's prestige is too high, which will affect the prince's status in the hearts of the people and the Jingnan Army. .”

Murong Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "On the way back, she asked me to give her an army, but I didn't agree."

Qi Fengshan was shocked and hurriedly walked the first two steps: "Your Majesty, you must not agree, no matter what, you must not agree."

Seeing his strong reaction, Murong Xiao turned his black iron finger and asked, "Sir, what do you think she is planning?"

"I haven't seen through the specific plot, but she must be ambitious." Qi Fengshan said, "Through this battle to conquer Wusul, the prince should also be able to see that she is not only ambitious, but also quite powerful. No matter what, we must take precautions.”

Must we guard against it?

Can it be defended?

Murong Xiao fell into deep thought, recalling every confrontation between Chu Zhao and him in the past. No matter what the process was, it always ended with Chu Zhao achieving his goal.

Will it be the same this time?

"I feel more and more that she is not the original Chu Zhao. Is it possible that she had changed her identity during the time she fled to Shuzhou?"

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Qi Fengshan didn't understand, but couldn't help but feel angry.

Murong Xiao said: "This king is saying that the original Chu Zhao completed the handover of identity and information with another person when he fled to Shuzhou. When he came back, he was a fake Chu who knew everything about the situation in the mansion. Zhao."

Qi Fengshan's back began to feel cold.

"If this is really the case, what is the purpose of these two Chu Zhaos? If she is fake, why is she so dedicated to helping the prince enter the capital?"

Murong Xiao was stopped by his question. He frowned and thought silently. After a while, he suddenly blurted out: "She is not helping me, she wants to enter the capital herself!"

Qi Fengshan's expression changed in shock: "She wants to go to the capital, and she also wants the prince's army. Could it be that she has enemies in the capital, and she won't want to rebel, right?"

rebel?

Murong Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was a bright light in his eyes: "I really wish that she wanted to rebel, so that we can be considered as people of the same mind."

In this way, they are not opponents, but allies, and they can fight side by side.

"But what if she is a spy sent from the capital and wants to mess up the Jingnan Army?" Qi Fengshan said.

The light in Murong Xiao's eyes dimmed again: "No matter who she is, she is harmless for the time being. As long as she is not allowed to come into contact with the military affairs of the Jingnan Army, there is nothing to fear about her alone."

Qi Fengshan responded, but thought in his heart that the last person who thought the princess was not afraid was the eldest prince Wusul, and he had fallen asleep forever.

Forget it.

Judging from the prince's attitude, it was obvious that he only wanted to believe in the good and was unwilling to believe in the bad. The prince had just won the battle, and it was a time when he was full of ambitions. It was better not to disappoint him at this time.

The matter of leaving and entering Beijing has not been finalized yet, so the princess just needs to have people keep a close eye on her.

Unexpectedly, before he could implement this idea, the emperor's imperial edict arrived in Yunzhou.

The imperial edict stated that the Queen Mother was suffering from a strange disease, and the imperial doctors in the palace could not diagnose the cause. The emperor was worried about the Queen Mother's health and could not sleep at night. Hearing that Princess Jingnan was good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, he specially summoned her to the palace to diagnose the Queen Mother's illness. , ordered her to leave for Beijing as soon as possible after receiving the order, without any excuses for delaying. If the Queen Mother's condition was delayed, everyone in the Jingnan Palace would be punished for deceiving the emperor.

When the imperial edict was delivered from the capital to Yunzhou, five horses died along the way. The eunuch responsible for delivering the edict was even more dusty and haggard. When he stepped into the gate of the palace, he almost fell to the ground like the horses, foaming at the mouth.

Murong Xiao led the whole family to kneel down to welcome the imperial edict. The eunuch read the imperial edict in one breath and ordered Princess Jingnan to receive the edict in person.

Chu Zhao stepped forward to receive the imperial edict, looked at the regular regular script that was clear and graceful but still strong and elegant, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The writing is good, I wonder whose handwriting it is?"

"..." The eunuch who delivered the order only had half a breath left to wait for her to thank her. She might as well ask such a question, and then said helplessly, "It was written by Mr. Xiaoge himself."

"Mr. Xiaoge?" Chu Zhao smiled and said meaningfully, "Mr. Xiaoge is indeed well-deserved."
