Morbid pet

The carriage was going up a rough curve, and there were some bumps. Chang Le didn't stabilize and threw herself into Xie Zhao's arms. There were still streaks of tears on her face.

It seemed that all the worries, fears, and doubts had melted into tears.

Xie Zhao kept coaxing her, like coaxing a child.

Chang Le spoke softly, her voice was hoarse as if she had just cried.

"Well, Xie Zhao, can I make one last request to you?"

Xie Zhao nodded: "If you say ten more, I will agree."

Chang Le was amused by him, "Slick tongue."

Xie Zhao asked, "What request?"

Chang Le lowered his head and rubbed the white handkerchief embroidered with golden phoenix, "The Zhou family overturned the case."

Xie Zhao replied without thinking, "I know."

Chang Le looked at him in surprise, thinking that he didn't know that the Zhou family's case involved a wide range, almost the whole family.

She reminded: "The case of the Zhou family is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Even the emperor dare not directly oppose the family. If this case is exposed, the family will come to bite you for their own interests. You still want to Answer my question clearly, after all, you have only just taken office, and many things have to be dealt with again."

Xie Zhao curled his index finger and scraped Changle's nose. He smiled and said, "Chuchu will worry about me when she grows up. I'm so moved! I said I understand, I will arrange it, you don't have to worry about it. Rong The family has collapsed, and the remaining few can be dealt with."

Chang Le asked: "Are you sure? You can't go back on what you promised me."

Xie Zhao nodded: "I know."

He raised the curtain of the car, looked out at the retreating scenery, and suddenly said: "Chuchu, if I tell you that we have known each other for a long time, what will you do?"

Chang Le raised his eyebrows and said: "Ah? What do you mean? Could it be that your entry into the palace is a fake? You entered the palace at the age of eight, and then served me in the cold palace?" Convinced, he nodded and said: "I just said that your resume is too smooth, and the more smooth it is, the more strange it is. I didn't expect that you really entered the palace when you were young. Alas, I didn't expect that you are also a hard-working person."

Xie Zhao was suddenly speechless.

The truth and illusion are in a dilemma in his heart.

He suddenly said: "Chu Chu is really smart."

Chang Le nodded in acquiescence to his statement, and then asked: "I don't have any impression of you, what year did you go to the cold palace?"

Xie Zhao laughed and said, "I also forgot a little bit."

Chang Le spread out his hands and said, "Okay."

In the middle of the night, he jumped into the carriage suddenly. He didn't come in, but reached out from the shaft of the carriage and handed over a black pear blossom wooden food box. "Your Majesty, this is the rice I bought in the town. You can just eat some. The poison has been tested in advance, so it's okay."

Xie Zhao got up to take it, and then said: "Understood, you have worked hard. You should go to eat too. After eating, take a rest and continue on the road. We are short on time."

The voice of the third watch slowly faded away, "Got it!"

Xie Zhao opened the food box, and there were Changle's favorite dishes inside. Although she never told Xie Zhao about her preferences, he seemed to be very good at observing people.

Chang Le suddenly couldn't hate him anymore.

What's going on?
Chang Le sullenly ate, "Are you always so careful? I found that you are more accurate in determining my preferences than Dian Cui and Die Shi." She paused in the middle of speaking, and the fog in her eyes once again condensed.

"When I came here, I heard them say that Diancui and Dieshi are more dangerous than good, right?"

Xie Zhao's face also darkened, and he said with some self-blame: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect them well."

Chang Le asked: "They are like my own sisters, where are they now?"

Xie Zhao: "It should be in the palace. I sent someone to look for them. We'll find out when we get back to the palace."

Changle had things in his heart, so he couldn't eat.He quickly put down the chopsticks, and then he leaned on the cushion stiffly, without saying a word.

Xie Zhao was a little panicked, and wrote a letter to the ministers in the palace overnight, asking them to reply quickly to tell him if the maid from Changle was found.

Three days later.

When changing horses at the Putuo Station, the servant handed over a letter.

Xie Zhao took it apart to look at it, read it at a glance, then turned around and went inside to find Changle.

Chang Le burst into tears when he read the letter, "Lucky among misfortunes!"

Seeing her happy, Xie Zhao laughed too.

They were almost at Chang'an, and they should be there this evening, so he ordered to speed up.

Chen Liang strode over, "Your Majesty, I want to say goodbye to you."

Xie Zhaoxu gave Chen Liang a hand, then walked with him and said, "Why so fast?"

Chen Liang laughed, "There are still people waiting for me at the border. I won't stay in Chang'an City any longer. I will leave [-] soldiers for you, and they will be stationed in Chang'an City. If something goes wrong, there will be a guarantee."

Xie Zhao knew what he meant, and suddenly felt a little emotional, "If you hadn't ventured back to Beijing to save me, I would be dead now. Brother Chen, I need you to help this time, Ah Zhao feels guilty."

Chen Liang patted Xie Zhao's shoulder, no longer in that respectful tone, but just said like an elder: "You have done a good job, don't mention the things that have passed. Your elder brother and father are in heaven If you have a spirit, you will support you. It’s just that there are many forces in Chang’an City, and the water on the court is also unfathomable. You must protect yourself well, so that you can truly benefit the people.”

Xie Zhao nodded: "Yes, thank you, Brother Chen. Then I won't send you off. The next quarter's military salary will be sent out this month. The temperature at the border gate is getting colder at night. I'll send someone to make another batch of winter clothes for you when I go back." .”

Chen Liang responded with a smile, and then waved goodbye to Xie Zhao.

"Azhao, it's been a long time, I hope you have a smooth journey."

Xie Zhao: "Definitely! You have a smooth journey, you can write to me even if you don't report military affairs, I will help if I can, and help me speak for my sister-in-law."

Chen Liang nodded: "Okay! Go back quickly, time is tight."

Xie Zhao turned around with a smile, then stopped abruptly.

Chang Le stood on the edge of the wall covering her mouth. She said in disbelief, "You are Zhou Yu? Zhou Yu is not dead? Ah Zhao, Zhao, Zhou Zhao, Zhou Yu."

She muttered, "Zhou Yu's single character is Zhao."

Xie Zhao stood where he was, feeling that it was very difficult to take a step now.

"Chuchu, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I'm afraid you will be implicated."

Chang Le covered her mouth and cried and ran up the hillside.

Xie Zhao ran after him and finally caught up.

She sat on the mountainside, sobbing loudly, with her head buried in her knees.

"Xie Zhao, Zhou Yu, you bloody liar! What else are you hiding from me? So you've been alive all this time, why didn't you come to me?"

Xie Zhao, or Zhou Yu, sat beside her. While patting Chang Le on the back, he said, "It's not that I won't come to you, it's that I can't come to you. I have no power, no power, and so many enemies." , if I tell you hastily, it can only implicate you, and besides, I dare not come to you."

Chang Le suddenly raised his head, looking at him with bright eyes, "Why not?"

Xie Zhao's hands tensed up with blue veins.

"I used to be a high-ranking young master Yu, but suddenly my family was ruined and I became a eunuch who everyone shouted for beatings. I'm afraid you will hate me and despise me."

Xie Zhao's mouth was suddenly blocked.

A soft lip covered his mouth.

Chang Le took the initiative to kiss her prince for the first time.
