Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 372 People’s hearts are thinner than paper

Mrs. Chu has a soft personality, and anyone can rub her the wrong way, but she is very capable when it comes to matters of right and wrong.

Although she blamed herself for harming her daughter and uncle, she did not show any signs of it and hid all her emotions deep in her heart. She also ordered Xiao Qian and Lu Yi not to cause trouble to Mr. Xie.

After returning to the study, fifteen secret guards stood quietly in front of them. Xie Yun handed everyone a booklet and ordered: "Follow the regulations above. You are the elites trained by the prince. I believe that no matter what kind of work you do, I can run my errands well under any circumstances, so don’t let the princess have any worries.”

"Ah Liu, compared to other secret guards, your existence is not a secret. I leave it to you to find the prince and princess. You have to decide where to find them and when to find them."

The usual playful smile on Ah Liu's face was gone, and he was calm and collected. Among the fifteen secret guards, he had the lowest martial arts skills. He couldn't even defeat Wei Shu in ten moves, but he was the smartest one. , as long as he wants, he can freely transform into any type of person, and it is most appropriate to leave the matter of finding the prince and princess to him.

Finally, Xie Yun issued the last order: "Contact Bai Li, tell him the facts, and ask him to assist you... You just need to remember one thing, never let anyone spread the news that the prince and princess are dead, otherwise Things will be difficult to handle.”

Ah Liu said loudly, "Master, please rest assured!"

The disappearance of Changsun Tao and Yu Qian's "best scholar" completely broke the balance of officialdom. Some people were busy becoming the masters after the two, while others were busy preparing to add insult to injury.

For example, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent out several waves of people to look for Yu Qinghuan, and they all came with the same order - they must find the "bodies" of the two.

No matter how turbulent the capital is, it cannot affect these two people.

At this time, they were playing chess in the girls' school without hesitation.

"Hexia, your chess skills have improved a lot."

"Since marrying to Da Qin, I have been idle all day long. I can't run horses happily, and I can't live as I want. I have nothing to do but ponder this chess skill. How can I not improve?"

"The life of a woman in the Qin Dynasty is like this. She obeys her father at home, obeys her husband when she gets married, and is bound by the three obediences and four virtues, propriety, justice and shame. From the moment she is born, she has never been free."

"When I was in Beiqi, I never looked at other people's faces. Now even if I say a word, I have to think about it for a long time, thinking about this and that. It's really frustrating."

"You are considered good. At least you are marrying a good person. You need to look at other people's faces, but there are more people who need to look at your face. It is better than marrying a mediocre man and raising children for him. The husband raises his son, but in the end he becomes jealous of his concubine, and becomes stronger than anyone else."

"Yichu, are you still unwilling?" He Xia paused and looked at the clouds that were about to disperse in the sky, "But he..."

Bai Yichu smiled bitterly: "If I have to get married, after thinking about it, there is only such a person who can match me. I also think that I am not bad, but I have been back in Beijing for so long, and I still can't understand why he would treat a person like that. People with ordinary backgrounds and looks have such a soft spot for each other. One time, I saw two people going out on the street. The woman's shoes were just a small stain, and he actually knelt down to clean them for the woman. She was so dignified. It’s unbelievable to think that the prince, who is held up to the altar by so many hands, shines shoes for a woman on the street.”

Princess Hexia threw the chess pieces into the chess box: "I'm not usually a nosy person, but... Yichu, you don't know, there is someone who is dear to your heart, and that person is Princess Qi. I have been there His Highness's study once contained many portraits of women, some aged eight or nine, and some as young girls. Once when I went to deliver soup to His Highness, I found that His Highness was actually holding the portraits and looking at them with an expression like Like a fool who has lost his soul."

Bai Yichu lost interest in playing chess. She said intentionally or unintentionally: "You and I can't compete with this person. Are you saying that if she is really dead, you don't have to compete with her?"

Bai Yichu said it very naturally, a bit like what he said out of anger, giving people the feeling that he said it but didn't think so.

Princess Hexia had no doubt about Bai Yichu's intentions. She only thought that Bai Yichu was speaking out of anger, but in fact she didn't want anyone's life in her heart.

She chewed these words several times in her mind, and suddenly wondered, if Princess Qi died, His Highness would no longer miss her?

With these thoughts coming together, I couldn't hold it back any longer.

Seeing that Princess Hexia was a little distracted, Bai Yichu handed her a cup of tea: "Hexia, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in your thoughts."

Princess Hexia came back to her senses. Her beautiful eyes clearly showed determination. She smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if the emperor's uncle and the emperor's aunt can survive this disaster unscathed."

Bai Yichu slowly took a sip of tea and then said: "It's so cold today. Most people can die just by soaking in the river for a while. If it is true as Commander Wei said, Prince Qi and his wife are They were seriously injured before they fell into the river. I'm afraid they wouldn't survive. Just look at the hundreds of corpses fished out by Qilin Guard from the river and you can imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time. It was impossible for them not to be injured." He Xia The princess frowned: "Is that what you think?"

Bai Yichu said: "I'm afraid it's not just me who thinks so, but everyone in the world thinks so. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't rush to divide King Qi's power. Aren't they sure that King Qi won't survive? Otherwise, where would they be on weekdays? Dare? Therefore, the chance that Prince Qi and his wife are alive is really very slim. Even if they really cannot come back, no one will find it strange."

After listening to Bai Yichu's words, Princess Hexia became more and more determined in what she was thinking - everyone thought that Prince Qi and his wife would not survive, but she felt that they would not die so easily. If she sent experts brought from Northern Qi to Searching for the two men and killing them quietly, it would probably not attract attention, after all, everyone thought they would not survive.

Yichu was right, only when she was truly dead, completely dead, would she have no competitiveness, and would people not worry about her day and night.

Of course, Princess Hexia hoped that the couple would not be able to climb out of Hanjiang River and die in the cold water, so as not to dirty her hands.

Thinking of this, Princess Hexia looked much lighter. She smiled and said, "Yichu, you don't like him, you just think he is worthy of you."

Bai Yichu smiled and did not answer the question. She said, "He Xia, do you regret marrying to Da Qin?"

Princess Hexia said: "I have no regrets. Sooner or later, this place will become a grassland where I can roam freely."

Bai Yi smiled for the first time but said nothing - no, this is her world.

She doesn't want to be an empress. She doesn't have that big ambition, and she can't pretend to be such a big world. She just wants to be a chess player, using the world as a board and everyone as chess, controlling their life, death, joys and sorrows.

Just like her few words, she provoked Princess Hexia's murderous intention.

Although the human heart is as deep as the sea, she feels that the human heart is as thin as paper. As long as you look at the right angle, you can easily make it swing from side to side.

She had known Hexia for many years, and she knew that Hexia had murderous intentions. Although Prince Qi and his wife were probably really dead, she never planned for a rainy day, so she instigated Princess Hexia to treat Princess Qi as a thorn in her side. Even if she's not dead, Princess Hexia can still make a hit.

As for Changsun Tao, if he can't get her, he will be destroyed.

It had always been like this, whatever she wanted, if she couldn't get it, she should disappear from this world.

Princess Hexia stood up and shook her clothes: "Yichu, it's a good thing I know you. Otherwise, how would I survive this long life in a foreign country?"

Bai Yichu also stood up: "You have to understand your father's hard work. Maybe your life in Da Qin is not as good as that in Northern Qi, but at least it is better than staying in Northern Qi and becoming a pawn to win over the tribes. You didn't really long for the rich people of Da Qin in the past. What?"

Princess Hexia's smile faded at the corners of her lips: "That's because I want to find a story about the love between children and children in a drama in Da Qin. Don't talk about me, what about you? The female school is in such chaos, what are you going to do?"

Bai Yichu smiled softly, her face as bright as spring dawn: "Three feet of ice does not last in a day, so do my best!"

Princess Hexia said: "It's all these masters who have dragged you down, otherwise with your talents, you wouldn't be..."

Bai Yichu was about to say something when she heard a mother's voice not far away: "Miss Yuan, what are you doing standing here for so long?"

Princess Hexia's attention was attracted, and Bai Yi said unintentionally: "The female school has indeed fallen. Even the concubines of the original family dare to be so bold and eavesdrop on you and me."

"The concubine of the original family?" Princess Hexia's face turned completely cold, "She is so bold that she is not even afraid of death..."

Bai Yichu's eyes flashed and asked: "Hexia, don't you want to...?!"
