After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chapter 257 His Highness just needs to bring the bedroll to the Marquis Mansion.

"If the empress does it, there will really be no room for regret."

The unclosed palace door was pushed open, and Chu Huanyan stood at the door. Yuegui, who had followed Chu Huanyan back, saw her mother-in-law's actions and turned pale with fright. She quickly stepped forward and knelt down.

"Empress, you must not do anything stupid!"

Concubine Xue stopped what she was doing and looked at Chu Huanyan, "Isn't Miss Chu already out of the palace?"

"I did leave the palace, but after thinking about it at the palace gate, I felt a little worried about Concubine Xue, so I came back again." Chu Huanyan walked into the palace and looked at the hairpin in Concubine Xue's hand.

"Miss Laochu is worried about me, but..." Concubine Xue smiled softly, "I have achieved my goal, and there is nothing left to miss."

What supported her till now was the hatred in her heart, but now her revenge had been avenged. Instead of continuing to be trapped in this palace every day, facing the husband she hated, it would be better to simply end it.

"Empress, you still have slaves. Are you really so cruel that you want to abandon your slaves? If you die, your slaves will never live alone!" Yuegui said hurriedly.

Just now she felt that something was wrong with the empress, but she never thought that the empress was actually thinking of committing suicide. Fortunately, Miss Chu came over, so she didn't have to report it and took the time to take her to see the empress.

If this were not the case, I am afraid that the empress would already be...

"Yuegui, I'm really sorry. I have delayed you all these years. However, I have left a letter to the emperor, begging him to let you out of the palace, and also left you some money. After you leave the palace, …”

"No, I don't want it. I don't want anything. I just want to be by your side. If I'm really so cruel..." Yue Gui gritted her teeth and pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and put it against her neck. "I can't stop you. , I can only go with my wife!"

"Yuegui!" Concubine Xue frowned and looked at Yuegui helplessly. After a while, she sighed softly and put down the hairpin in her hand, "Why are you so confused?"

"My dear concubine, even for the sake of Aunt Yuegui's loyalty, you have to think twice. What's more, do you really have no worries at all?" Chu Huanyan looked at Concubine Xue, "Even if you get revenge, you still have to think twice." You can have a new goal. Since you hate this palace, why don't you think about how to leave."

"Leave?" Concubine Xue was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "I have never thought about it, but the person who is willing to elope with me is already dead. Now that I am in a cage, how can I talk about leaving? ."

"Since the empress had the courage to elope and escape from the palace for the sake of her sweetheart, why can't she break free from this prison for herself now." Chu Huanyan's tone was calm, but there was an inspiring determination.

Concubine Xue is actually brave enough and patient enough. Since she no longer has this goal, she will change to a new one and continue to live well.

"For yourself?" Concubine Xue looked at Chu Huanyan blankly.

"That's right, for myself." Chu Huanyan nodded, "The world outside the palace is vast, don't you want to see it?"

"But can I really leave?"

When she eloped, someone was by her side, yet she ended up like this.Now it would be even more difficult to leave this palace.

"As long as you are alive, there is hope. Things in the world are constantly changing. How can I be sure that the person who trapped you in this palace today...will always be able to maintain a high position."

Concubine Xue's eyes trembled and she looked at Chu Huanyan in surprise, "Miss Chu, these words are extremely disrespectful."

Chu Huanyan smiled, with a smile on her face, "It is indeed disrespectful, but it is the truth."

Concubine Xue looked at Chu Huanyan quietly. After a long time, the expression on her face softened, and her will to die finally dissipated.

"Miss Chu is right. Things are constantly changing. Who can say what will happen in the future?"

Looking at each other, Chu Huanyan and Concubine Xue said nothing, but they reached a silent understanding at this moment.

……

Queen Wei is dead, and the previous poisoning incident has finally come to an end.

Because Queen Wei had been deprived of her status as queen, and she was executed because she made a big mistake that aroused public resentment, she was not put into the imperial mausoleum after her death, but was simply buried.

For this reason, Xiao Rongxuan broke into the palace again and made a big fuss.

Although Emperor Xiao thought that he was filial and had just lost his mother, he forgave him without any punishment.However, there was a clear decree that he must be detained in the palace for two months. If he dared to break out privately again, his status as a prince would be revoked.

With this clear intention, Xiao Rongxuan finally realized the seriousness of the matter and calmed down.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the twelfth lunar month.

The reconstruction of Liangshui Lane was completed, and the victims finally returned home. In addition, other disaster-stricken areas also received relief one after another, and daily supplies such as grain and cloth were also transported to the imperial city.

Everything was restored to order, but the wedding of Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi was not successfully completed as planned. Instead, it was temporarily postponed to next year and another day would be chosen.

Chu Huanyan didn't care too much about this, and there was nothing she could do about getting married later.

Xiao Jinzhi, on the other hand, although he had already made preparations in his heart, but now that it was the twelfth lunar month, seeing the days he had set before passing by, he often sighed and spent most of his time at the Ning'an Marquis Mansion every day.It seemed as if he was afraid that if someone didn't pay close attention, his wife would run away.

Seeing this, Qin Li couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart.

Your Highness just needs to bring the bed rolls to Ning'an Marquis Mansion!
"Miss, this is the account book newly sent from each shop."

Xian Yue walked into the study room holding the account book and saw Xiao Jinzhi there, saluting as usual.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

After finishing speaking, he placed the account book on the table in front of Chu Huanyan.

"So many?" Chu Huanyan looked at the thick stack of ledgers, which seemed to be much larger than before.

"Reporting to Miss, Shopkeeper Wang said that in addition to the normal account books, due to the disaster in the Imperial City, he asked his shop to separately organize the account books for rice and grain sales. In addition, Master Chu's shop Over there, in addition to the account books, there is also a record of the secret trouble-making during this period. But it is said that it was all minor troubles and did not cause serious impact." Xian Yue replied seriously.

Chu Huanyan nodded and opened the booklet, which recorded the recent situation of Buzhuang, the time, location, and the number of people and events that caused trouble. They were all recorded very clearly.

"Chu Xixu is more careful."

With these records, if things really get serious later, they can be used as evidence.

Chu Huanyan didn't really want to read these things today. She put down the book and thought for a while, then said, "Let someone prepare the carriage, and we'll go to Cloth Village to have a look."

"Okay." Xianyue responded and quickly went down to make arrangements.

Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "Are you coming with me or..."

"Together, of course." Xiao Jinzhi stood up and answered simply.

"Why are you so idle lately?" Chu Huanyan couldn't help but ask.

"Who asked me to handle government affairs quickly?" Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, "Why, Yan Yan is tired of it?"

"No, how dare I."

A few days ago, she just felt that Xiao Jinzhi stayed in Ning'an Marquis Mansion for too long, so she said something casually, but the person in front of her looked like that, and she almost died of "wronging".

The two of them left the Hou Mansion together, but when Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan were about to get on the carriage, Qin Li hurriedly came from the other side.

"Your Highness, news has just arrived that Princess Rongchang has arrived in the imperial city ahead of schedule."

"So fast." Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly.

The news sent back before is that Princess Rongchang and her party will not arrive until probably next year.

"Reporting to Miss Chu, according to the news, Princess Rongchang only took a few guards, broke away from the team, and rushed back first. And..." Qin Li frowned and said, "Now she has gone to Buzhuang."
