Empress Qi hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't dare to touch the emperor's face, she patted the back of Chang Le's hand reluctantly, and said softly: "Good boy, you go first."

Chang Le bowed to the two of them, then retreated lightly.The Luanfeng Palace is not far from the Compassionate Ning Palace, she didn't let anyone use the sedan chair, and was going to walk directly.When she was completely out of the range of Luanfeng Palace, she stopped at the corner of a corridor, beckoned Goya to her, and at the same time handed a letter to her hand: "Take this letter, you must take this Hand over the letter to Eunuch Lin who is beside the emperor. You act safely, and Gu also has nothing to ask, just be careful not to be seen by others."

Goya took the envelope with both hands, put it away carefully, and asked respectfully, "What should the servant say?"

Chang Le shook his head: "What I should say is written in the letter, you just need to give this letter to Eunuch Lin, and ask him to present it to the emperor."

Naturally, what the letter said was about the Four Seas Trading Company.As a child, it is not easy for her to interfere in this kind of thing.In the letter, Chang Le only wrote the reason of the matter clearly, without any personal opinion on the matter.

It's just that in the letter, she concealed Xi Shi's identity.He only said that he instigated a rebellion against a boy doing odd jobs in the Four Seas Trading Company, and got the information from him.The reason why he did this, Changle couldn't tell what he thought.It's just that she always had a premonition that Xishi's identity might be of great help to her in the future.Many pairs of eyes are still staring at the Four Seas Trading Company now, and Xi Shi, as the only flaw of the Four Seas Trading Company so far, is not the time to expose her to everyone.

Goya went back along the original road, Chang Le did not continue on her way, she stood quietly, her eyes fell on the sky not far away, as if she was thinking about something.Not long after, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Xi Shi who was quietly standing behind her, and said slowly: "You remember clearly, try not to appear in front of my father in the future."

Xi Shi was puzzled, but he didn't ask back, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

She agreed readily, but Changle's face was a little solemn.Changle knew that what happened this time was indeed her recklessness.To her, Emperor Jing is a veritable good father; in the eyes of the people all over the world, Emperor Jing is a benevolent monarch who works diligently for the people; in the eyes of Empress Qi, Emperor Jing is a good husband.But the biggest shortcoming of this person is in Changle, he cares too much about Changle.

For her daughter, he pampered her almost without a bottom line.

To what extent is Jingdi extreme in her affairs?Just like the assassination of Changle this time, the more than a thousand soldiers of the forbidden army who were on duty at night, even when Changle interceded, were all severely beaten and exiled to the bitter cold in the northeast.They were seriously injured. It was unknown how many soldiers would die along the way.Chang Le couldn't bear it, but on this matter, the emperor would not pay attention to her pleading, and Chang Le could do nothing.

The people around her were all chosen by the emperor and empress himself, and a strange Xi Shi suddenly appeared, and before the palace banquet was over, the emperor might have already ordered someone to find out Xi Shi's background and family background.After the things about the Four Seas Trading Company were revealed, if he found out that Xishi's identity had anything to do with the Four Seas Trading Company, her life might be in danger.

Although he knew that there was little hope, Chang Le couldn't help asking: "In the Four Seas Commercial Bank, are there many people who know your identity?"

Xishi probably understood what she meant, thought about it carefully, and said cautiously: "All the servants in the other courtyard of the Bai family have been dealt with that day, and there will be absolutely no flaws left. As for the Sihai Commercial Bank, except for the master's A few confidantes, even if others have seen me, they have never seen my true face."

Chang Le's expression was slightly relaxed, and he said lightly: "I faintly noticed that day, your master's methods are really decisive and ruthless."

She also said this sentence that day, Xishi lowered her head and did not reply.At this moment, Chang Le suddenly frowned and looked into the distance.

Xi Shi followed her gaze and saw a group of courtiers carefully surrounding a man in brocade clothes.At this time, the man also found Changle and the two standing at the corner of the corridor, he turned his head and gave some instructions, and the palace people retreated far away.The man turned around and came towards Changle.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Chang Le bowed helplessly to the man: "Second brother, long time no see."

"It's been a long time. Changle has grown into a big girl." The voice was extremely cold, and it seemed to contain deep hostility.Seen from a distance, Ding Wang Su Yong inherited the good looks of the royal family, with red lips and white teeth, and a suave manner.But when he got closer, outsiders could easily see the increasingly cold facial features and sharp-edged outline.This is the tempering of so many years of frontier career and countless wars.

Speaking of Dingwang Suyong, one thing has to be said.Among the many princes and grandchildren, although Emperor Jing prefers Changle, except for Changle, although he has a general attitude towards other children, he occasionally cares a few words.Only his second son, Su Yong, was not even given a name. The name Su Yong was given by his biological mother Liu Guifei when he was three years old.

For some reason, Emperor Jing seemed to dislike this son alone.As a prince and grandson, Su Yong is even inferior to a servant in his eyes, it seems that he will stain his own eyes just by looking at it.

Su Yong was crowned queen when he was an adult, and was thrown by Emperor Jing into the army of Zhennan Pass to practice.The army is full of rough people, and it's not a place where he, a prince who has become a military supervisor by virtue of his status, can convince others.In addition, there were endless wars at the border, and the barbarians attacked fiercely. During the melee, Su Yong had to put on his armor and go into battle.He is young, has no combat experience, has been seriously injured several times, and is constantly hovering between life and death.

In the worst case, a barbarian's sharp arrow pierced his chest.The arrows are coated with poison and have barbs, which are difficult to remove.The military doctors were helpless, and everyone thought he couldn't survive.At that time, Su Yong's only wish was that the emperor would allow him to return to the capital. Even if he died, he would die in the capital.But he sent eight letters back to the palace, and his biological mother Liu Guifei knelt in front of Qingxin Hall for four days and fainted several times.Even so, it didn't get the slightest bit of mercy from the emperor.

Immediately after Changle's birthday, the emperor violated the etiquette and ordered the whole world to celebrate.After that, a banquet was held in the palace for all the ministers.In the laughter, it seemed that everyone had forgotten that there was still a prince at the border, who, together with his most respected mother and concubine, was dying and desperately waiting for death to come.

Of course Su Yong made it through, if he hadn't made it through, he wouldn't be where he is today.After this incident, the mother and son completely gave up on Emperor Jing.From then on, Su Yong's only goal was that position.Emperor Jing gradually became ill, but the crown prince was still not established.The thirteenth prince's natal family is Rongguo Duke's Mansion, which has enough influence, but the thirteenth prince is still young, so there is nothing to worry about.The ministers in the court looked at either King Ding, or King Jing's third son, Su He, King of Yan.

King Yan's family is powerful, and he also holds great power in his own hands. He is evenly matched with King Ding, and almost each divides half of the power in the court.However, Su Yong, as the prince that Emperor Jing hated the most, stayed at the border all year round, but he still had enough influence in Gyeonggi to compete for power with King Yan and Changle, which has proved his ability.

Chang Le didn't know how to answer his words, although this second elder brother has been stumbling her overtly and secretly, but she is also a member of the royal family, so she can understand his situation of trembling like walking on thin ice.However, understanding is understanding, and letting him succeed is another matter.

At this time, Su Yong's eyes fell on Xi Shi, looked at her indifferently for a while, and asked Chang Le, "Is this your new maid?"

It turned out to be because of this.Chang Le couldn't help but frowned again, her second elder brother had never been close to her, and today he took the initiative to strike up a conversation, so it turned out that he was thinking about Xi Shi.

Although the invitation from the Four Seas Trading Company was kept secret that day, anyone with sufficient influence in Beijing and China could find out this information.When Chang Le came back from the Four Seas Trading Company, he had an extra maid by his side, and anyone who cared could find out about it.Although she was assassinated again that night, no one is sure if she deliberately played the trick of "catch a thief" in order to clear the suspicion.

It was originally a very simple matter, but in the eyes of these treacherous people, it had countless meanings.

Chang Le thought to himself: It seems that Sihai Commercial Bank really did a clean job in the aftermath, otherwise, even her second brother would not have found any news, and wanted to start with her instead.

"She is a servant that Changle bought from Ren Yazi in Fangshi. If the second brother is interested, he can go there too." She replied lightly.

Su Yongding stared at her for a while, sneered, and mocked: "I'm afraid that the second elder brother is not as lucky as the younger sister Changle."

From Changle's attitude, he had already seen what he wanted.Su Yong flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left without delay.His voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, and it seemed to be mixed with the bitter cold wind from the frontier, whistling in her ears: "Women, you should stay at home obediently and take care of your husband and children. Those important things are what men should do." Yes. Chang Le, as an older brother, I would like to advise you, don’t think about things that you shouldn’t think about.”

After he left, Chang Le didn't speak for a long time.It wasn't until Goya came back that Chang Le raised her head slowly, blinked her eyes, and asked in a soft and almost inaudible voice: "Do you also think that I am delusional?"

Her voice was light, and she didn't seem to have any obvious emotional fluctuations, but only she knew that Su Yong's words had touched the bottom of her heart, making her confused.

Xishi replied without hesitation: "History books are written by people, so what's the big deal even if you are a woman? It just depends on whether you want to be the one who controls, or the one who is controlled."

Chang Le glanced at her, only to realize that Xi Shi's thinking was still very deviant.Such outrageous rebellious words, if heard by others, will be punished as the crime of treason, and will be punished by the nine clans.She is very bold.

Goya, who just came back, was acutely aware that the atmosphere was not right. He looked at Changle and Xishi for no reason, his pitiful appearance made people laugh.

Chang Le couldn't help but bend his lips.

Don't be afraid of bold ideas, just be afraid to think.Changle is not greedy for power, she just wants to find a chance for herself to survive.
