Chapter 18 Brother misses you, happy and worry-free

It was almost noon when Cui Ying received the news from the Cui family. The Cui family said that the eldest lady was ill and asked her to go back.

She didn't want to go. In fact, every time she faced Meng Jincui, it was not a very pleasant memory.

Later she found out that Meng Jincui was ill because Cui Xu was missing.

Dongyue came over with a letter in her hand. She approached and whispered: "Girl, this slave just met a little beggar at the door and brought you a letter, saying that it was given to him by a man named Suifeng. "

Suifeng is the eldest son's long-term attendant. He has been following him since he was a child. Dongyue knows about him, and the news from the Cui family today also said this.

Thinking of this, Cui Ying reached out and took the letter and opened it. There were only a few sentences on it.

He said that the Cui family owed her so much that he had no face to face her again, but he wanted to compensate her in his own way.

In the end there was only this sentence.

'Yingying, brother only hopes that you will be happy and worry-free in this life. '

The two of them had only met once since he came back from Pingyu Town. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today.

Cui Ying closed the letter. She had no complaints about Cui Xu. As an elder brother, he did a good job. It could even be said that she was grateful for his protection during the seven years in the Cui family.

But no matter how much more she said, she couldn't tell.

When Cui Yunliang went to Qingmu Town to see her, he actually wanted to take her home and make her his concubine, but Meng Jincui strongly opposed it. Later, he thought of keeping her by his side and giving her to the powerful in the future.

Does the Cui family owe her much? Even if she doesn't become Cui Yunliang's adopted daughter, she can still rely on her own crafts to support herself.

But he was taken to Cui's house and made like a skylark in a cage.

The world is like this, beauty and status are low, this face is her biggest disaster.

"Girl, do we want to go back?"

Dongyue watched her tear up the letter and put it into her hands, and she asked.

"No, I want to go to Qingmu Town with Your Highness."

Except for Cui Xu, there is no one in the Cui family who is worthy of her trip, and she is surrounded by Chu Yan's people, so she must not do anything beyond the rules.

Then bring back all the hard work that you have put in over the past few days.

Only in Izumo Prefecture could she be free, and for this matter, she would risk everything.

Dongyue nodded in agreement and went out to dispose of the shredded paper in her hands.

Chu Yan went to Qingmu Town this time for official business, and she also brought Ma Chaoyang and several Yunzhou officials with her. She did not allow herself to make any mistakes at this time.

"Dongyue, is His Highness back?"

Dongyue walked in and shook her head: "His Highness hasn't come back yet."

"Grind the ink for me."

Cui Ying's eyes darkened a bit, and she walked to the desk and sat down. She picked up a pen and wrote down what Chu Yan asked her to do yesterday, and then explained the reasons later.

After finishing writing, she folded the letter and handed it to Dongyue, asking her to go to Cui Mansion to deliver the letter in person.

Dongyue has been serving her since she was a child. Cui Yunliang will only believe it if she delivers the letter.

Moreover, Chu Yan asked her to do such a thing just to lure out the person behind the scenes. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, Yunzhou's power has always been complicated. He must have really annoyed the court this time, so he let her His Royal Highness, please make this trip yourself.

Cui Ying shook her head. This was not something she should worry about, and she couldn't control it. She might as well plan her own affairs.

As long as Chu Yan takes her out and lets him throw her down, she can go to Jinling or Jiangnan in the direction of Qingmu Town.

If he refused, she would have no choice but to use her identity as the prince's pillow partner to find a way to escape.

No matter which way it was, by the time Cui Yunliang knew that she was no longer with Chu Yan, she would have run far away. She no longer wants to be a bargaining chip in Cui Yunliang's hands, being given around.

In the teahouse, Cheng Chong came over and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Xian asked you when will you return to Beijing?"

It had only been a month since I arrived in Yunzhou, and Concubine Xian came to ask. No wonder everyone inside and outside the palace said that Concubine Xian loved your highness very much.

"Just say that I will return to Beijing in three months."

Chu Yan was sitting on a chair, playing with a purple jade bracelet in his hand. The bracelet was transparent and even more aura in the sunlight. It was the one he won last time when he took Cui Ying to bet on stones at Yanjiang Tower. Violet glass bracelet.

"Yes, my subordinates know. Your Highness, Ying Dong has returned from Dongyi."

After Cheng Chong finished speaking, the man stopped playing and raised his hand. Cheng Chong said to the outside, "Come in," and a dark-skinned young man walked in.

The young man knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "I have met His Highness."

"Fortunately, my subordinates have investigated clearly. Among the tributes sent to Dashuo, there is indeed a Nanguan defense map, but it is hidden very secretly and is difficult to find out."

After hearing his words, Chu Yan stood up and put the purple jade bracelet on the table. He looked out the window. The street scene was bustling and prosperous everywhere. He could see the undercurrent surging under the ground.

"I know."

Ying Dong stood up, looked at Chu Yan and asked, "Then what will your Highness do next?"

He and Cheng Chong were both bodyguards who had been with His Highness for seven years. They had followed His Highness since he was in Dongyi Kingdom. Cheng Chong was in the light and he was in the dark, doing things for His Highness.

"The grass is cut without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and it grows again. Then let's see where this fire can blow."

Chu Yan had long known that in Yunzhou, just dealing with one Ma family was nothing to be afraid of, and he also knew that it was impossible to eradicate the whole family.

But Yunzhou is the border defense of Dashuo, and Qingmu Town borders the Dongyi Kingdom. It is impossible for him to let the man behind the scenes continue to dominate here.

His arrival is the best deterrent.

After Cheng Chong and Ying Dong walked out, Chu Yan was the only one left in the room. Cheng Chong looked at Ying Dong outside the door and asked a lot: "Why have you turned so dark?"

He was obviously a fair young man when he was in Dashuo.

"You don't understand. That day in Dongyi is completely different from that in Dashuo. It's extremely hot. I'm in the army again, standing guard every day. Can't I get a tan?"

Unlike Cheng Chong, Ying Dong was a man of few words. He always talked a lot, so much so that Cheng Chong had to fight with him and subdue him before he could shut up.

"I can rest for a while when I come back this time."

"Stop talking about this, I heard that His Highness has a beautiful lady by his side?"

Before Cheng Chong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Dong. He went all the way to Yunzhou, but he heard clearly that His Highness had adopted the adopted daughter of Cui Taishou's family, and said that the adopted daughter was as beautiful as the sun, moon and stars.

He didn't believe it at first. After all, His Highness had a pure heart and few desires when he was in the East Palace. All he needed was a wooden fish to become a monk.

His Highness is not the only one who is worried, the Concubine Xian is even more worried.

But no matter how many beauties were sent to the East Palace, His Highness would not accept them. He would either kill them or drive them out. As a result, His Majesty and the Concubine Xian did not dare to send anyone to the East Palace anymore.

But what the people on the street said had noses and eyes, and it didn't seem to be a lie. Only then did Ying Dong quietly ask Cheng Chong.

Cheng Chong patted him on the head and said, "You dare to ask about His Highness?"

Although His Highness was somewhat indulgent towards them, he would seriously risk his life if he dared to ask about such a thing.

"Okay, okay, just don't ask. You can see it when you get home anyway."

Ying Dong curled his lips, he just wanted to know what kind of person it would be that could make His Highness, who had never been moved by women, break the precept.

 I changed the previous statement to go to Qingmu Town tomorrow.

  There are foreshadowings behind, knock on the blackboard!
