Later, I became the prince of the group

Chu Yan put the fish into the basket, straddled the horse, and then remembered Qiu Zizhen, and said in surprise: "Miss Qiu, why are you still in the water, don't you feel cold?"

Qiu Zizhen bit her lip, she was so pitiful, but at this time she was not pretending, but really desperate and wronged.

The guards realized that they quickly found a long branch and stretched it towards her as a pole. Qiu Zizhen had no choice but to grab the pole and climb up. Her clothes were shallow and thin, not like autumn clothes, but summer clothes. In order to inadvertently reveal something.

Now as soon as he entered the water, the outline of the veil-like inner garment was revealed. Because he was struggling to climb up, he accidentally broke off half of his shoulders. Cover her outside, and give her a horse to be led back.

Qiu Zizhen sat on the horse, crying so sincerely this time.

When I went back and inquired about it, I naturally knew that this was the person brought by Cen Qingqing. Cen Qingqing had expected that Qiu Zizhen would make some moths, but she didn't expect it to be so big. After asking what happened, she still didn't understand of.

She gave Qiu Zizhen a cold look, and said, "I can't control this matter, let's talk about it in front of Mrs. Hou."

Qiu Zizhen's face was pale and she didn't dare to say a word.

Cen Qingqing is still considerate in her work. She first asked someone to deliver a letter to Mrs. Liu Hou, and wrapped Qiu Zizhen tightly. When she met others, she only said that Miss Qiu rode into the water and went back to change her clothes, and then took them back to the camp. wait.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu brought the old lady with her. The two only heard that Qiu Zizhen had caused trouble. Seeing Qiu Zizhen's distressed appearance and Cen Qingqing's obviously angry expression, they realized that the matter was not simple, and hurriedly asked Cleared up the whole story.

This Qiu Zizhen often came to Liu's house because the old lady agreed to see Qiu Zizhen who was about to reach her age.

Originally, these things were not troublesome for the Liu family. Qiu Zizhen would be able to live a more comfortable life in the future when she married through the Liu family as a matchmaker. Besides, there was no girl in the Liu family. A girl came to her door, so she was naturally kind and friendly to Qiu Zizhen.

Cen Qingqing also knew this, originally thought that Qiu Zizhen begged her to come to Autumn Lie because she didn't like the people the old lady saw for her, and wanted to come to Autumn Lie to see the young masters of various families.

Autumn Hunting was originally a great day for wives to see the girl Lang Jun. It is understandable for Qiu Zizhen to plan for herself, and Cen Qingqing readily agreed.

After working together for a long time, Cen Qingqing saw the clues and found that Qiu Zizhen was interested in King An. Although she found it incredible, she thought that King An was a broken sleeve, so he probably wouldn't like her, so she pretended not to know, and swayed Qiu Zizhen If the show of goodwill fails, he retreats in the face of difficulties.

But she didn't expect that Qiu Zizhen would go directly to seduce the prince blatantly, and even wanted to tie herself and Wang An together by falling into the water.

With so many people present, if the story of King An rescuing the girl who fell into the water spread, Emperor Chengxing would not even be able to deal with Qiu Zizhen secretly. Take it into the mansion, and fight for the title of being responsible to the end after saving someone.

Don't think about it, if Qiu Zizhen succeeds, the result will definitely be the latter.

Mrs. Liu Hou also thought of this immediately after hearing the story, and slapped Qiu Zizhen with shaking lips: "You...you are really shameless!"

The old lady also almost lost her breath, and was supported by the maid to sit down and breathe.

That's her cousin-in-law!It has only been half a year since Liu Qi got married, and the two of them paid attention to the movement of Prince An's mansion all day long, fearing that one day King An would dislike Liu Qi and accept a newcomer early, causing Liu Qi to be wronged.Who knew that the cousin girl who was in pain would come up with this idea first.

If Wang An himself fell in love with Qiu Zizhen, she would have nothing to say, but Qiu Zizhen used this method to provoke Wang An...

"I didn't bring you to Autumn Hunting because I had already met some excellent husband's families for you. Bringing you here again would show that we are insincere. You are better. I found Qingqing to follow in private, old woman I don't want to smear your face, I'm not blunt, but look at what you have done?" The old lady pointed at her and her hands were trembling, "I have treated you well, and this is how you repay me?"

Qiu Zizhen, who was crying with her head down all the time, suddenly raised her head with resentment on her face: "When will you take me with you? The family you found for me either doesn't even have a half-time official in the family, or it's from the family of a sixth-rank official. Bastard, Dali Temple Shaoqing's mother wants to renew her son, but you never mention me, if you really love me, cousin Liu Yuan, cousin Liu Lin, whoever can't give me one?"

"Shut up! Gag her!" Mrs. Liu's complexion changed, but she ignored her, and hurried to appease the furious old lady, and asked the maidservant to pass on to the imperial physician.

They also couldn't wait for the imperial doctor in Cen Qingqing's camp, otherwise the news would definitely spread, so they immediately asked someone to help the old lady back to their camp.

After all, Cen Qingqing hadn't been in the house yet. Hearing this kind of scandal that ruined the three views of other people's family, she was embarrassed for a while and didn't know where to stand, so she hurried out in the name of taking care of the old lady.

Qiu Zizhen was about to act impulsively, but now that she met Mrs. Shangliu's sharp gaze, she immediately regretted it, but her mouth was covered with a cloth, and she couldn't even admit her mistake and plead for mercy.

After all, Mrs. Liu is the daughter-in-law of a military commander's family. She is usually kind and kind, but if she really wants to be serious, few people can bear her staring gaze.

"The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is only [-] years old, and it is more than enough to be your father..." Mrs. Liu snorted softly, "Forget it, it doesn't make sense to reason with you. Since you don't appreciate it, you think our Liu family has treated you badly." You, after that, you will see less. Lingluo, take my name card to invite the guards, and say that Miss Qiu suddenly felt cold and couldn't hold on, so she immediately sent Miss Qiu back to her own home."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Qiu Zizhen and went straight out of the tent.

On the other side, Chu Yan handed over the fish he caught, and Emperor Chengxing saw that he was wet, so he asked him to go back and change his clothes.

Out of everyone's sight, Chu Yan called two guards beside him: "Go to Mrs. Renting Hou and ask her if she needs anything. Remember, no matter what you see or hear, just pretend you don't know."

The two guards left in response.

Not long after, news came from Xinqing that the old lady of the Liu family had collapsed from anger.

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious. It's all good if you slow down. The imperial physician has prescribed a secondary medicine, and people have rushed to a nearby town to get the prescription. The old lady is inconvenient to move, and she is resting in the tent. Mr. Liu has already passed."

Chu Yan thought for a while and said: "This matter has something to do with me, I should go and talk to my mother-in-law in person."

It was inconvenient for him to enter the inner tent, so he only had someone report to Madam Liu outside the tent. After a while, Madam Liu and Liu Qi came out together.

Chu Yan bowed and said: "This matter happened because of me, and it disturbed the old lady. I hope my mother-in-law will not blame me."

Mrs. Liu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and quickly shook her head: "Don't say that, that girl is greedy, and it should be our Liu family who compensated His Highness Wang An."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Liu Qi, who didn't know what happened, and thought that this was Liu Qi's admiration. He thought that he was married to the palace and sacrificed. Liu Qi took it seriously.

If it were any other man, I'm afraid he really got caught today, or he just coveted Qiu Zizhen's beauty.

Mrs. Liu knew that the young couple had something to say, so she made room for the two of them. Liu Qi blinked blankly: "What's going on? It has something to do with you, isn't it that Cousin Zhen is mad at Grandma?"

Chu Yan squinted at him: "You still call her cousin?" The call was quite intimate.

Relying on the experience honed during the hard years of being forced to study, Liu Qi understood His Highness's micro-expression at the moment: If you don't perform well, you're doomed.

He asked cautiously: "Has she, what she committed is so serious that she can't be my cousin?"

Chu Yan looked at him for a while, and suddenly realized that as one of the parties involved, it was quite difficult to talk about this matter, so he sighed softly: "Don't associate with people from the Qiu family in the future."

The older brother's meal at his cousin's house, the younger sister's cousin, and now he still wants to rub his cousin's man!

Liu Qi said "Yes", and seeing his obediently agreeing appearance, Chu Yan felt a little itchy in his heart, and it took him a long time to ask: "Why don't you ask?"

"I just want to ask, but if you say that, it must be true. I will answer first."

Chu Yan thought to himself, thanks to his good concentration, he resisted the urge to hug Liu Qi in front of Liu's tent.

Liu Qi paused: "And I've been annoyed by Qiu Zihua for a long time, and I just don't want to associate with him."

Chu Yan said unexpectedly: "I thought you were close to him."

"It used to be close, but now..." Liu Qi shook his head and didn't continue.

At the beginning, Qiu Zihua told him all kinds of bad things about King An, and he believed it. If it weren't for Chu Yan's bowl of wontons, he might have run away from marriage.

At that time, I only thought that Qiu Zihua was just hearsay, and I was really worried about him. Later, when he was forced to study, Qiu Zihua wanted to say that King An was deliberately torturing others, and Chu Yan was too busy to accompany him, so Qiu Zihua wanted to say that King An didn't value him...

The more times, Liu Qi felt annoyed.

Although he himself had thought that way, what Qiu Zihua said was always on his point, but... no matter how bad his Highness said, what's the matter with Qiu Zihua?

What's more, Chu Yan has always been very kind to him. He didn't know it at the beginning, and he only had complaints and anxiety about the future in his heart. But isn't Chu Yan thinking about him?

"Your cousin doesn't know how to keep herself clean." Chu Yan explained simply, "The Qiu family who can teach such a girl may not have a good family style. To be safe, it is better not to make friends."

Liu Qi became more and more strange, but when he saw Chu Yan pursing his smile, he couldn't bear to interrupt His Royal Highness An's good mood, and planned to skip this topic that was destined to be unpleasant.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Grandma wants to rest, let's not disturb her here, let's go, I'll take you to see today's extra meal."

Chu Yan was puzzled: "Extra meal?"

"Cen Shuang look at the deer that was captured alive for me, hahahaha!"

Mr. Cen was also unlucky, he was defeated by Liu Qi that day, so he had to work for several days to catch a live deer for Liu Qi.The living ones are no easier to catch than the dead ones, and those caught as pets can't shoot their legs with arrows, they can only rely on setting traps to ambush them.

After finally catching a crossover, Liu Qi thought it ugly in public.

When he thought of the laughter of the people around him, his ears turned red, and he went to find his friends angrily, listening to them cursing Liu Qi with the same hatred as him.

Just as he was feeling better, a guard suddenly brought a plate of fragrant barbecue.

Cen Shuang was a little strange: "It's not time for dinner yet, is it?"

The guard said: "It's the meat that Princess An set up to grill herself. Princess An said that you are the first to be able to eat this venison, so I specially asked me to bring you a portion."

The corners of Cen's eyes and mouth twitched together, staring fiercely at the venison, looking at the expression, it seemed that he wished that the plate contained Liu Qi.

Liu Qi heard Cen Shuang's reaction from the guard who came back to report, and clapped his hands happily, and Chu Yan flicked his forehead lightly: "Don't be too happy, be careful of being watched, impeaching you for teasing the son of an important minister. "

Liu Qi looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "I am Princess An, what am I afraid of?"

Chu Yan's heart moved again when he heard it, and saw that his mouth was stained with cumin powder, he raised his hand to stroke it away, then put his finger to his mouth, and licked off the powder on it.

Liu Qi's ears turned red, and he thought to himself why Chu Yan has the ability to do everything beyond the limit, but it makes people blush even more than crossing the limit.

Liu Qi coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what pet did you agree to bring me? Why is it slower than Cen Shuang..."

Chu Yan smiled: "Don't worry, the pet has been found, but it likes to bite people, I will train it for two days first."

Liu Qi said "Oh", and concealed his embarrassment by concentrating on eating meat.

It didn't take long before news came that His Majesty and the Empress would return to the palace first.

Although the hunt lasted for ten days, the emperor was not able to maintain such a high interest every day, and he would definitely spend a few days in the middle to do other things or deal with government affairs.

However, the departure of the emperor and empress did not affect other people to continue hunting and watching. Many families brought flower stands and chess boards produced by Taolefang, and they could pass the waiting time by sitting and playing with friends.

Chang Xi, who reported the news, said cheerfully: "Before His Majesty left, he specially asked someone to bring the unfinished venison with him, saying that he would use it as snacks when he returned home. It seems that His Majesty likes your cooking very much."

Liu Qi shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't like my craft..."

It was because he roasted and ate the deer he caught, which meant that his interpretation of the deer hunting picture in front of His Majesty that day was true, and he didn't think hunting was cruel.

After they finished eating the roasted deer, they left early and went back to the palace. Chu Yan's bedroom was the closest to the emperor's palace. When they passed by, they saw a row of ministers and guards kneeling in the courtyard. The little eunuch beside Emperor Chengxing looked flustered and hurried. ran out of the yard.

Chu Yan paused, and Liu Qi tugged at his sleeve: "I think it's better for us not to go in now."

Chu Yan nodded, and pulled him back to his residence.

Even if he didn't go to this water, the news of the right minister's admission on the second day has already spread. Why Li Pingrui was interviewed, the insider kept a secret and did not dare to reveal a word.

All I knew was that the good autumn hunting was interrupted by the emperor's anger, and everyone had to return to Beijing ahead of schedule. People who got the news early in the morning packed their things in a hurry.

Liu Qi rode a horse this time, and he was in the queue. He tried to turn his horse's head into the woods a few times, but Xin Qing stopped him in time: "Young Master Liu, wait a little longer, His Highness will definitely catch up."

When Liu Qi got up early in the morning, Chu Yan was no longer by his side, saying that he rode into the forest before dawn.

Originally, it was not allowed to enter the forest at night, but because the return journey was about to begin, the guards rushed to check the horses and horses and prepare items in the early morning, and all the guards guarding the forest were transferred away, so Chu Yan took advantage of the loophole.

It wasn't until Emperor Chengxing gave the order to prepare to set off that there was a sound of hasty horse hoofs coming from behind. When everyone turned their heads, they saw Wang An frantically holding the reins while holding something wrapped in his arms.

He managed to stop the horse before hitting the carriage, and everyone who saw it was sweating for him. Xinqing hurried to hold the horse, and Chu Yan got off the horse and got into the carriage directly.

Cen Shuang sneered at the back, and said to his friend in a low voice: "No wonder you can only catch fish."

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped off the horse and got into the carriage. Before he could sit down, the carriage shook slightly and followed the carriage in front of him leisurely.

Liu Qi didn't find a place to support him for a while, and fell backwards. Chu Yan immediately stretched out a hand and pulled him into his arms.

Young Master Liu lowered his head slowly, meeting a pair of gray eyes.

One person and one cub stared wide-eyed.

Liu Qi broke free from Chu Yan's embrace all at once, retreated a long way, and said in disgust, "It's so dirty!"

Chu Yan sighed: "There is too little time, otherwise I will throw it in the pond for a soak."

The little boy probably understood this sentence, and bared his teeth ferociously at Chu Yan who had kidnapped him.

Liu Qi was silent for a while, and then said, "May I ask, this is..."

Chu Yan said without hesitation, "Dog."

Liu Qi: "..."

"Dog" son: "Oh—"

Chu Yan explained without changing his face: "The wolf dog, when it grows up, it can take care of the nursing home."

Liu Qi didn't believe that there was a dog in the royal hunting ground, he had already guessed what it was, and sat in the corner of the carriage rather fearfully.

Chu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pointed at the "dog" and said, "Get down."

The ferocious little boy flashed his half-teeth at him, then fell down.

Chu Yan pointed to Liu Qi: "Go and say hello to the princess."

As soon as the voice fell, the little thing and Liu Qi got up at the same time, and rushed in the opposite direction at the same time. When the little guy stood at the place where Liu Qi had been sitting, Liu Qi had already hugged Chu Yan's waist tightly, not daring to lift his head to the ground. Buried in Chu Yan's arms, he said angrily, "Chu Yan, will you give a gift?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt something soft on my leg.

Liu Qi was about to cry: "Take it away!"

Chu Yan took the little wolf cub aside and patted Liu Qi's head: "Take it away, don't worry, it doesn't dare to bite you."

Liu Qi looked up quickly, and said stiffly, "But it's dirty!"

After recovering, I found that although the wolf cub was fierce, he had indeed been raped. Apart from jumping around and refusing to live in peace, showing his teeth and claws at every turn, and making a scary "ow", he didn't dare to do anything serious.

After Liu Qi got used to it, he stopped clinging to Chu Yan's arms—it made Chu Yan regret it for a long time. Liu Qi, who was frightened by wolves, looked like a shivering little white rabbit, which made people want to hold him in his hand and coax him coax.

Liu Qi slowly came to his senses: "You expected to return today?"

Chu Yan said: "My father made such a big fuss yesterday, there must be something extremely important, but I haven't heard anything about what happened in the hunting ground, so it can only be a matter of the court. Naturally, my father wants to go back. For the sake of safety, I will pick it up as soon as possible."

Liu Qi: "The Right Prime Minister has been imprisoned. It is said that he was put in a prison van last night."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, and it won't implicate your father." Chu Yan calmly met Liu Qi's suspicious gaze, "I'll let you know when I get back."

At the court meeting the next day, under the instruction of Emperor Chengxing, some officials read the memorial directly at the court.

Several charges of "colluding with the Southern Jin Dynasty" and "abetting the former Prince Rui's rebellion" were brought down, and the civil and military officials of the whole court were overwhelmed.

Chu Yan calmly listened to the courtiers who were reading the memorial list the evidence, from the illusory "Li Pingrui was born in the Southern Jin Dynasty, he might be a Southern Jin spy who has been dormant for many years" to the indisputable "evidence of the correspondence between the right minister and the former Prince Rui".

The ministers sent by Li Xiang did not expect this kind of thing, and they couldn't even think of rebuttals for a while.

Emperor Chengxing was furious, and almost wanted to directly convict Li Pingrui and ask him to be executed, but several ministers from the Rightist faction knelt down and shouted, "I am afraid that there is something hidden in it, I implore your majesty to investigate thoroughly", which made Emperor Chengxing relieved , ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly with the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

On that day, the ministers who had the closest relationship with the right ministers were all suspended from their posts and placed under house arrest, ready to cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple at any time.

The government and the public suddenly became unpredictable. The forces headed by Prime Minister Zuo saw that this was a good opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to climb up. Behind Prime Minister Zuo was the family of the second prince and his mother.

Among the Rightist faction, those who are still free to move are not considered core figures. They have lost their backbone and are already flustered, unable to think of any ideas at all.

Even if they bought off the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the jailers, they could only know how much evidence against the right minister was discovered and how much torture Li Pingrui was subjected to.

Two days passed, and some people couldn't help becoming suspicious.

"You say, Li Xiang is really..." Before he finished speaking, everyone present understood what he meant.

"Nonsense!" A tense voice spat out every single word, and everyone looked at the sound, only to see fierceness in the young man's eyes.

It was Li Pingrui's son, Li Chun.

Li's mansion has been guarded by layers of guards, only Li Chun himself has obtained the fame and was sent out to become the county magistrate.

I don't know if it was because Emperor Chengxing was so angry that he didn't realize that Li Pingrui had a son who was a county magistrate, so he didn't stop Li Chun from his official position.But the Zuo Xiang faction, who took advantage of the fire and looted, didn't want the extraordinary Li Chun to come back and mix in, so they didn't mention this matter in front of the emperor.

The place Li Chun went was not far from the capital, and after getting the news, he returned to the capital secretly, and only joined them today.

Seeing him interrupting, everyone no longer expressed doubts.

One of the respected Ge elders said: "We are here today to discuss what to do next, not to speculate in vain. We all have seen the character of the right minister. Anyway, I don't believe that he has colluded with Nanjin. If If someone believes it, they can walk out of this door now."

After a long while, no one moved.

Only then did the elder of the pavilion speak: "This happened suddenly and became a mess. We have to find out the source of it first. Do you think that why the right minister was suddenly involved?"

The silence lasted for a while, and finally someone hesitated to speak: "Is it... related to the princes?"

Everyone looked at him in unison.

"Since His Royal Highness the Third Prince presided over the small court meeting, he has had a lot of contact with Prime Minister Right. It is not an exaggeration to say that Prime Minister Right is half of the Third Prince's teacher. Yang Zhixing and Lord Yang have specially become the teacher of King An. King An is The elder brother of the third prince..."

Everyone present knew that, although they didn't say it clearly, they were all ready to follow the third prince.

Just as he was thinking about it, a person came in from outside and reported: "My lords, the third prince is here."

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice: "Chu Rui came to pay a visit."

Everyone looked at each other.

Yang Zhixing, who was silent in the corner from beginning to end, sighed secretly.

Even if this matter has nothing to do with party disputes, from now on, it will have something to do with it.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Reminder: Yang Zhixing appeared in Chapter 12, and was specially assigned by Chu Yan as a teacher after he moved into the palace.

This dungeon cannot be bypassed _(:3)∠)_, but it is different from the previous one-stop entrepreneurship + kidnapping case, this time it is interspersed with the more relaxed couple in the same frame.
