Lady Changning

Chapter 80

Xi Changning got up very early today, and it seemed that the sky was not fully bright yet, so He Lianbao and Mingyu could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, and sat beside him yawning.

"What do you say you are doing?" Helian Bao complained.

"Miss, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." Although Mingyu was sleepy, she was still very concerned about Xi Changning's body.

Xi Changning ignored it, the sun was slowly rising on the lake outside the door, his brows could not help but frowned, Xi Jian still chose Xi Hanxue.

"Mingyu is going to get some food, we will continue to wait after eating."

"Wait for what?"

When Xi Jian comes back and begs her, is it true that Xi Hanxue can solve this matter?As long as Xi Changning doesn't let go, Zimu won't see them.Even if the queen mother has some ideas, don't try to disrupt her plan.

The three of them really sat and waited until the sunset, when Xi Jian brought Xi Hanxue to appear in Tayue Pavilion.

Both of them looked bad, and it seemed that Hu Cheng had suffered a lot.

"Changning! Come with me to Hucheng!" Xi Jian said with anger.

"No." Xi Changning refused very simply. "With my sister here, what is Changning doing?"

Xi Hanxue was so angry with Xi Changning's words that she didn't know how to reply.

The Empress Dowager's strategy was wrong. As expected, the Empress Dowager looked down on Xi Changning. When the Empress Dowager left the hall, her face was not good-looking. No one thought that the seemingly gentle Xi Hanxue would propose a measure to control violence with violence. , The queen mother of the DPRK and China all agree.

Although the emperor, the prince and his party felt that this move was a little too radical, the floods were getting more and more serious, and the food funds were also in short supply, because the previous funds were used to repair the dam.

The crown prince disapproved of this approach, but he wanted to know how Xi Changning would deal with it?Obviously, Xi Changning had a plan in mind.

In the end, no one expected that Xi Jian and Xi Hanxue, who went with a pair of guards, did not get any benefits at all. It seemed that someone had tipped off the news. notice.

It is closed today, and there is a small door next to it.

The so-called small gate is actually a dog hole.

Xi Jian was very angry, and he let the guards break down the city gate while waving his whip. Who knew that the city gate would be opened without any effort, and all the refugees who came out were poorly dressed.

"You want to destroy the city? How shameless, you actually use force!" The refugee said righteously.

Even if Xi Jian wanted to break in again, he didn't want to end up with the reputation of bullying the weak.As more and more refugees came out of you, the scene looked very chaotic, but half of the barbarians didn't see it.

Xi Jian felt that using force was not a good way, so he decided to go back to the mansion to make plans. Who knew that the barbarians who hadn't shown up intercepted them on the way back, and half of the guards fell into the trap unprepared.

Even thinking about it now, Xi Hanxue still has lingering fears. Those big men with eyes of various colors seem to be able to crush a person with one hand.

"Even if you drag me, I will drag you there!"

The matter of inviting the young master of Hucheng Zifu has been delayed for too long, and even the emperor is almost impatient with such procrastination, not to mention that he still has half of the guards in his hands.

"Father wants me to go, but it's getting dark tonight, so I'll let you go tomorrow."

Xi Changning deliberately wears down Xi Jian's patience in order for Xi Jian to beg her.

"Changning's father begged you like this, you are really unfilial."

Because Xi Hanxue also boasted in the palace because of the queen mother, if she can't complete it, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and she will be beheaded.

"I didn't see that my father asked for anything from others." Xi Changning looked at Xi Jian with innocent eyes, but the words that came out of his mouth were meaningful.

"Changning, it was my father who had a bad tone before, but now it's about the world, so I have to help you no matter what. My father promised you that I will give you whatever you want."

The Xi family weighed the right and left, and it doesn't matter if their daughter asks for it or not, but she only has one life and must not be taken away like this.

"Thank you, father. Father can follow me tomorrow morning."

The next day Xi Changning still got up very early, and when he arrived at the concierge, Xi Jian and Xi Hanxue were already waiting, and it seemed that they were also very anxious.

Xi Changning and Xi Hanxue were in the same carriage, and the car was so quiet that the two of them seemed to be strangers.until……

"Unexpectedly, you are still so scheming." Xi Hanxue's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Let's not hide from my sister, how can I live without my scheming with my sister? Do you want to be the next Lady Di?"

It's been a long time since Mrs. Di's incident, but it was still a scar in Xi Hanxue's heart. She didn't feel sorry for Mrs. Di at all. The only regret was that she didn't burn Xi Changning to death.

"Don't worry, next time I will definitely be straightforward, so you won't have time to catch your breath."

"It's my sister who is out of breath now. Sister, are you very hot? You are sweating on your forehead, are you afraid? If I mess up, it has nothing to do with me anyway. My sister and father must be the ones who will be punished directly. Calculate the choice." Concubine Dadian doesn't know if sister still has the ability to ask the Queen Mother to save you!"

Xi Changning's words fell on Xi Hanxue's heart like a stone.

When they arrived in Hucheng, Xi Changning and Xi Hanxue were helped out of the carriage by the servants.I saw that the gate of the city was closed tightly, and the notice at the gate was still posted.

"Remember! It's easy to talk, there are guards inside! You must invite Mr. Zimu from the Zifu in Hucheng." Xi Jian instructed.

Xi Changning listens with his left ear and hears with his right ear, who will take care of him?Hucheng is hers, and she can talk as she wants.

"Who is here? You shameless officials from the Central Plains, who actually brought troops here, deserved to be arrested by us!"

Standing on the tower of the small city are the wild wolf and wild tiger brothers, and these words are full of confidence.But when he saw Xi Changning and He Lianbao, his arrogance went down, and he looked at each other without knowing what to say.

"Still opening the city gate?" He Lianbao was really speechless to the pair of silly brothers.

When the wild wolf and the wild tiger saw that it was the lord and the city owner, they moved swiftly and yelled at people to open the door.

"Young Master has an order! Prime Minister Xi cannot enter, only Miss Xi Fourth."

Unexpectedly, Zimu is quite flexible, knowing that Xi Changning does not want Xi Jian and Xi Hanxue to enter the city, this is her place, and she does not want others from the Xi family to tarnish her, especially Xi Hanxue.

Xi Changning brought He Lianbao and Mingyu into the city. Xi Changning seldom wandered around Hucheng in women's clothing. Today, he dressed up in palace attire to let the Hu people in Hucheng know that Xi Changning is a dignitary.

Hucheng Zifu
Seeing that the refugees had been properly arranged along the way, Xi Changning felt at ease, because she delayed the time before and was always worried that Hucheng would be saturated due to the increase in the number of refugees.

"Nonsense! Give me money!"

As soon as I arrived in the hall, I heard an unharmonious voice. Isn't this the voice of that boy Zilong?
"City... City Lord." The servants stuttered when they saw Xi Changning's speech.

Xi Changning couldn't believe it either, Zilong, Zimu, and the two housekeepers were playing mahjong.It was quite interesting to play.

"Go ahead, leave me alone. I'll take a break." Xi Changning sat on the long couch, and there was no sign of life or anger on his face.

"City Lord, why don't you come together?" Zilong was not afraid of death.

"No." Xi Changning said without interest.

"You don't even know this? Come, let me teach you!" Helian Bao was the one who spoke the most.

It's no wonder that the people in Hucheng are boring. The city gates are closed and they don't do business. Prime Minister Xi is watching outside every day. Of course, they can only entertain themselves in the city.

"Nonsense." Zimu said coldly, such a vulgar word with red lips slightly parted is still full of charm.

Xi Changning looked at the cards in her hand, and then looked at He Lianbao, who claimed to be a master, was she sure she would do it too?Otherwise, why keep teaching her to lose?
"Start again." Xi Changning gritted his teeth and said.

Zilong also didn't care about the distinction between master and servant, holding back a smile on one side.

Xi Changning wasn't worried about Xi Jian and Xi Hanxue outside the city at all, told them to wait, and tempered their tempers, who made them treat her like this before, Xi Jian didn't trust her, Xi Hanxue took the lead, in short, it was their own fault.

"Right now the food in the capital is very expensive. The people I sent out also said that the food in various places is [-]% more expensive, not to mention the refugees and even the common people are almost unable to eat." Zimu raised his long hand on the opposite Mahjong touched it in his hand.

"It will be better when you show up, and some people will be scared," Xi Changning frowned and looked at the mahjong in his hand.

He Lianbao has been aggressively asking her to play other cards, but Xi Changning ignored it and continued to play her own cards. As a result, when it was Zilong's turn to play a card, Xi Changning went berserk, and finally He Lianbao was quiet.

Playing mahjong while chatting like this, the time passed quickly, estimated to be about two hours, Xi Changning glanced at the silver in front of him and the one in front of Zimu, although he was not reconciled, but let Xi Jian and Xi Hanxue wait for it It's been a while, so don't delay any longer.

"Continue next time."

He Lianbao looked at Xi Changning dissatisfied, and really didn't realize that this had cultivated some bad taste in her.

"Zimu, you can enter the palace with me tomorrow, and as for the speech, we can say what we have thought before."

"I understand." Talking to a piece of ice, the answer is the simplest.

The weather in July and August was very hot, and Xi Changning, who had made Xi Jian and Xi Hanxue wait for two hours, finally appeared in front of everyone, followed by guards who were caught by traps, and they didn't see any action. Abuse, even better than those of them who are exposed to the sun.

"Father, the young master of the Zifu will enter the palace with us tomorrow, so don't worry about anything."

Hearing the news, Xi Jian's heart was finally relieved, but he got on his horse and turned his head with grunts.Xi Changning didn't care, but seeing Xi Hanxue's condition was not so good.

Xi Hanxue's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were blurred. She is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When she suffered this crime, her whole body was drained by the sun. She had no choice but to let the servant girl support her.

"My sister is weak, so I didn't want to go into this muddy water." Xi Changning's voice came to Xi Hanxue's ears little by little.

Because Xi Hanxue was unwell, she just waited to see Xi Changning triumphantly in front of her, and couldn't even answer a sentence.He could only look at her resentfully.
