Chapter 27 Your Highness is so cruel

Ma Chaoyang took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "Yingying, your father and I are just grasshoppers on the same rope. You know the reason why I sent you to His Highness."

"Uncle, I won't beat around the bush with you. Only with the Ma family around can your father sit securely in the position of Yunzhou Prefect. Similarly, in the future, if you follow His Highness to Shangjing and enter the East Palace, this will be your final destination. Good help.”

He smiled and felt that he was really an amiable and trustworthy elder.

Cui Ying sneered in her heart, but showed a bit of distress on her face: "Uncle Ma, I know why I was sent to His Highness. When I was at home, my mother also told me that without the Cui family, there would be no me. Don’t dare to forget.”

"Can"

She paused and looked even more troubled: "But Your Highness, he..."

Ma Chaoyang listened to her words, frowned and asked: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

These intermittent words aroused Ma Chaoyang's curiosity, and his tone could not help but speed up a lot. Then Amber saw Cui Ying's face blushing a little, and whispered: "His Highness is very fierce in that matter, and I am always troubled by him." Not good at rest.”

"So in all these days, I have never seen the booklet His Highness kept in the study. I only heard him occasionally mention that he came to Qingmu Town to check the taxes of Yunzhou."

After finishing speaking, Cui Ying stopped talking. What she could say must be what Ma Chaoyang had already guessed.

It's just that he still needs to make sure with himself before he can figure out the next countermeasure.

"It's that simple?"

Ma Chaoyang didn't seem to believe it, so he asked back. Cui Ying nodded and said with certainty: "That's all I heard."

As a charming girl who is haunted by His Highness every night, how could she have access to those confidential things? To be able to hear these, she must have worked very hard, right?

If it weren't for the fear that Ma Chaoyang was afraid that Chu Yan would not take action, delaying his affairs in Yunzhou and delaying her departure from Yunzhou, she wouldn't want to say anything to Ma Chaoyang.

"Okay, Yingying did a good job. If there is any news in the future, let Amber come to find uncle."

After that, he stood up and left. Cui Ying stood up and saluted him across the screen. After Ma Chaoyang left, the tea and snacks she ordered were brought out.

The girl sat back where she was before and reached out to pick up a piece of pastry.

"Hu Huo, you grew up in the Ma family, right?"

Hearing her question, Amber knelt down in a hurry: "Girl, Amber didn't hear anything just now."

Cui Ying took a bite of the pastry and didn't let her get up. After the whole piece of pastry was eaten, she raised her hand: "In order to survive, you have something to do. I won't say much."

"I just hope you remember that in this world, everyone's surname will always be Chu."

Amber is a smart person, so Cui Ying stopped talking. Privately, she felt that Amber should not become a victim of the struggle between the two forces, so she said this, but she couldn't say much else.

After all, many people die every day in this world, and not everyone can be saved by her.

People are selfish and tend to avoid disadvantages and seek advantages. She does not have so many rights in her hands, and there is no need to set herself up for others. It is already too much to say something.

"Thanks for the tip, girl, Amber will remember it."

After saying this, Amber stepped forward and poured her a cup of tea. At this time, she heard a sound of Xingmu banging the table outside. She got up and walked out. In the lobby, she saw an old man in white sitting in front of the desk. Drink tea leisurely.

Then he said: "As mentioned last time, General Pei met the Zhao girl disguised as a man in our Qingmu Town. The two had similar temperaments and traveled together, but they encountered the Dongyi rebels at the border." His voice became more intense. It's heavy and sometimes light, with ups and downs. It's just a simple beginning but it makes people want to continue listening.

"Little General Pei? Amber, what's this story?"

Cui Ying had never heard this story before, and her interest was immediately aroused. Amber smiled and said: "Li Xiucai has been telling it here for three years. This story is not a rare thing."

"It's just that it involves a secret case in the DPRK, so I can only use my last name instead."

"It's not difficult to guess that General Pei is General Pei Ning from the Yongning Mansion, the daughter of the Zhao family."

When Amber said this, he lowered his voice and whispered a name in Cui Ying's ear. Cui Ying was a little surprised: "These are existences that cannot be mentioned in Beijing. If he says it here, isn't he afraid of causing death?"

"That's not possible. Our Qingmu Town is on the border of Dashuo, far away from Shangjing. Moreover, they are all nicknames without specifying them. Even this story, you can't tell whether it is true or false. Who will come? Tube."

Amber disagreed. She was almost tired of hearing this story, but every time she heard it, she would be moved by the affection between General Pei and the Zhao daughter.

"The Dongyi rebel's eyes lit up, and he attacked without any explanation. The young general was agile, protected the girl behind him, and stabbed the rebel with his sword."

Cui Ying listened to his words and seemed to follow him into the story. The young general was affectionate and righteous. Facing a large number of rebels, he still protected the people around him tightly.

"The rebel turned around and used a flying knife to cut off the hair tie that bound Zhao's daughter's hair. Her black hair spilled out, and everyone realized that she was actually a girl. If you want to know what happened next, I will tell you later."

After Li Xiucai finished speaking, he woke up, picked up the books spread out on the table, and left.

Amber saw that Cui Ying was fascinated by what she heard, and waved his hand in front of her eyes. Only then did Cui Ying come back to her senses. Amber smiled and said, "If the girl wants to know what happened next, I will tell the girl when I get back."

Li Xiucai comes here every year to tell this story. He is not from Yunzhou, and he has never settled in Qingmu Town. He doesn't charge a penny to teach in the teahouse. No one knows what he wants.

It's like waiting for someone who can really understand this story. Amber doesn't really understand it anyway.

"We've been out for so long, let's go back."

Cui Ying said softly, Amber nodded and left with her.

I don't know if she saw it wrong, but she always felt that the girl seemed a little absent-minded.

After getting on the carriage, Cui Ying held the handkerchief, Pei, it was Pei again, her parents told her to find Mrs. Pei, the letter taken out from under the brick at home also contained Pei, and the little general Pei the storyteller mentioned today.

So many times, is it really just a coincidence?

Cui Ying had a headache. Forget it, forget about these things and go back to coax people first. If Chu Yan really alienated her, then she would have really wasted all her efforts.

As soon as they arrived at the mansion, they saw Cheng Chong walking out. He looked at Cui Ying and saluted, "Miss, His Highness is looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Didn't he reject himself in the morning, so why did he come looking for him so soon?
