Concubine Meng drove to the prince to take a detour

Chapter 237
Gu Yang looked at his younger sister worriedly, pulled the quilt to cover her, and then said, "Did you catch a cold?" He said, reaching out and touching Xiao Guxue's head.

"Brother, I'm fine, I'll be fine after a night of sleep." Xiao Guxue said with a smile, reassuring the elder brother, "Have you forgotten that I am a doctor?"

Looking at her smiling face, Gu Yang finally felt relieved, "Then you have a good rest, the elder brother is here to guard you."

"En." Gu Xue said, closing her eyes, she needs to have a good rest, and then she can deal with that delicate girl, it's simply desperate to grab a man with her Gu Xue

This gloomy weather has continued, as if there is no plan for a sunny day.

Above the Golden Palace, the Minister of Rites still repeated the old saying, "Your Majesty, the harem is empty now, and Concubine Xiao is missing. Please fill the harem as soon as possible."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Lichen looked down calmly, "The whereabouts of my concubine Xiao Xiao is still unknown. What you need to do is to find the concubine, not let me fill the harem here." Chu Lichen's voice was unsteady. It is big, but it has the function of automatic cooling. After opening the mouth, no one dares to breathe.

"Concubine Xiao really should look for it, but this harem..." Minister of Rites said still not afraid of death.

"Come on, I think Mr. Liu is old, let him go home to take care of himself as soon as possible." Chu Lichen got up and looked at the ministers below, "My lords, if you feel that you are old and want to go home to take care of yourself, but It's okay to say." The threatening words did not contain the slightest wave.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't..."

"Your Majesty, the battle of Nanzhao is still going on. A spies came to report the day before yesterday, and Nanzheng has already gained the upper hand." Qiao Xuyang said in a deep voice, as if he was not discussing his daughter just now.

And Chu Lichen's actions once again let everyone understand that Princess Xiao is a topic that no one waits to mention.

Chu Lichen looked expressionless, but his attitude said everything.

"General Qiao is worried about this matter. Nanzhao is full of ambitions. Now he is fighting against Nanzheng. Maybe I will declare the country soon. Your lords have time to intervene in my harem. Why don't you pay more attention to the government." His voice was as indifferent as ever, But the anger just continued.

Everyone bowed their heads in silence, not wanting to become the second minister of the Ministry of Rites. After all, Mr. Liu is only over fifty years old, so the emperor called him old and cultivated.

Chu Lichen looked at the people below and stopped talking, and looked directly at Qiao Xuyang: "General Qiao stays for now, and the others can retreat if they have nothing to do."

Everyone saluted and retreated, leaving Qiao Xuyang alone on the golden palace.

Chu Lichen looked at him indifferently, and Qiao Xuyang also remained calm.

"Please, General Qiao, come to the imperial study." Chu Lichen said, turned around and left here first.

Qiao Xuyang finally had a different flavor in his expression, his brows were slightly raised, as if he didn't know what Chu Lichen wanted to say to him.

In the quiet imperial study room, all the eunuchs and court ladies were sent out, not even Ye and Wushuang remained.

Where is Qiao Xuyang as always, as if this calm elegance has become his best pronoun.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Lichen looked at the indifferent Qiao Xuyang.

"Mo'er is missing, is uncle too calm?" Chu Lichen's voice was not loud, but the meaning was clear: you are not in a hurry because you know where she is.

"Mo'er is smart, so I don't need to worry about it." Qiao Xuyang said calmly, not feeling scared because he was facing the emperor.

Chu Lichen frowned, "Uncle really doesn't know?"

"If I knew, I would have brought her back long ago. If the emperor is really worried about Mo'er, it would be better to complete the deal with that person earlier."

Chu Lichen looked at Qiao Xuyang with deep eyes again, "Could it be that Uncle really stayed out of it all the time?" A general escaped too cleanly, so he had to doubt it.

Qiao Xuyang bowed his head and said nothing, neither admitting nor denying it.

"If the emperor is for this matter, I have nothing to say."

Chu Lichen was not talking anymore, he had already asked what he wanted to know.

"In that case, Uncle should go back first." Chu Lichen didn't ask any more questions, but watched him leave.

The heavy rain suddenly poured down outside the house, disturbing the fidgety golden silkworms outside.

Chu Lichen got up, walked to the window, and watched the heavy rain outside.

Qiao Mo, a farmer, was chatting with her aunt at this time. Because it was rainy, they didn't need to go out to do farming.

"It's raining, I don't know when it will stop." The aunt is sewing clothes for the child in Qiao Mo's womb, and she can talk to Qiao Mo while sewing.

"Heavy rain is good, it can remove bad luck." Qiao Mo smiled and praised the aunt's craftsmanship again and again. The only dress she made in her life was Chu Lichen's blood-red robe. Now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for him up.

The farmer came in from the outside and wiped off the water stains all over his body. Qiao Mo hurried over and got a towel for him: "Godfather went out after it rained so much?"

"All the fish are out in this rainy day. Godfather went to catch some fish for you, and asked your godmother to make them for you, so that you can strengthen yourself." The farmer said honestly. The farmer's name is He Qing. He has been an honest farmer all his life. Although he has no children in his life, he always treats his wife the same.

The tip of Qiao Mo's nose was slightly sour. Although the people here have no money and no status, there is one thing that does not exist within the high wall, and that is: family affection.

"Why is this child crying?" Godmother He Lianshi hastily put down the accident in her hand, stood up and wiped her tears, "You can't cry when you are pregnant, or you will go blind."

Qiao Mo nodded, sniffing hard, "I know, it's just that my godfather reminds me of my father. In the past, whatever I wanted, my father would find it for me." The father she said meant the twentieth century My father, the father I will never see again.

"What about your father?" He Lianshi asked softly.

"I'll never see my dad again." Qiao Mo said, tears streaming down again.

He Lianshi instantly wanted to go to the parents of the rich man, put Qiao Mo on his shoulders and said, "Silly girl, don't cry, we will be your real parents from now on."

Qiao Mo cried and nodded, not knowing why she suddenly became hypocritical.

"Okay, mother is going to make fish soup for you, and you can eat it in a while." He Lianshi softly spoke to comfort, and then took the fish to the kitchen.

After He Qing tidied himself up, he came out of the room, "I don't know what's going on recently, I see that General Qiao is preparing for battle again, and I don't know what he is going to do?"

"Could it be war again, don't fight anymore, how can the common people bear it." He Lianshi said in the kitchen.

Qiao Mo was sitting at the table, holding her hand slightly, unexpectedly, her father had already started preparing for the battle, that is to say, it is very likely that this time is a war of the Three Kingdoms?

Qiao Mo thought of a large number of martial arts masters gathering in the capital, and felt more and more uneasy.

Because as long as it is something that Chu Lichen can solve, it will never be involved in the Jianghu, so it is impossible for those people to be recruited by Chu Lichen to the capital.

Qiao Mo looked at the fabric in her hand, she didn't have any news at the moment, she seemed to be blind, but considering Chu Lichen's ability, these probably wouldn't affect him, so she didn't have to worry.

Qiao Mo poured water for He Qing when he sat down: "Father, even if the two countries really go to war, it won't affect Hejiazhuang, after all, it's close to the capital and far away from the land of Southern Zhao."

"It's true, but there are no eggs under the nest, and I don't know what the world is going to do?" He Qing sighed.

"If the world is divided for a long time, it must be united for a long time. Why should father bother about this?" Qiao Mo comforted her softly.

He Qing suddenly looked at Qiao Mo with some scrutiny.

"Father? What's the matter?" Qiao Mo couldn't help asking because his scalp was numb from his gaze.

"Qiao Er, you are not the daughter of a peasant family in the suburbs of Beijing, are you?" He Qing said suddenly.

"Er—" Qiao Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and she lowered her head to sip the tea in the cup.

"You look good, and it can be seen that you are a girl who studies." And how could their peasant family raise such a juicy child, and how could they have the money to let the child study.

Qiao Mo sighed slightly, "I really can't hide anything from my father." Qiao Mo said, "My father was originally a big family in Beijing, but he was implicated because the late emperor abdicated to King Xiao. My prime minister's family is the mansion of Prince Xiao confidant, so..."

Qiao Mo said here, not opening her mouth.

"Princes and generals, one emperor and one courtier." He Qing sighed and said, patting the back of her hand lightly, "You can live here with peace of mind, no one will know."

"Thank you, dad." Qiao Mo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. This old man is not a cheap lamp. If it wasn't for Chu Yuyan's abdication in Beijing, she might not be able to find other reasons.

Thinking of Chu Yuyan, she didn't know where Chu Yuyan was now, and how he was doing?

I felt that Chu Yuyan would not give up so easily, but after he became Zen, he never heard from him again.

"I don't know when the rain will stop." In order to prevent He Qing from continuing, Qiao Mo said while looking at the heavy rain outside.

"It will be the anniversary of Concubine Xiao's death soon. This rain is for Concubine Xiao." He Lianshi came out of the kitchen and filled their water bottle. "In the blink of an eye, Concubine Xiao has passed away for more than 20 years. If it wasn't for Concubine Xiao back then, I'm afraid I, Hejiazhuang, wouldn't be here anymore."

amount……

Qiao Mo was slightly shocked, and looked up at He Lianshi without looking up: "Miss Xiao Concubine, is that the Empress Xiao Concubine who is called Guanyin Empress?"

Chu Lichen's mother actually has their temple among the people, of course, her own mother is also included here.

"Yes, Concubine Xiao is our benefactor of Hejiazhuang. When the weather gets better, we will take you to Concubine Xiao Temple." He Lian said with a smile, put down the kettle, and turned to go to the kitchen.
