Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 409 Start Deployment

It was midsummer, the weather was hot, and there was no wind in the whole imperial city, and it was dull.

The floor tiles in the courtyard were scorching hot, and the heat could be felt through the shoes, and the trees were wilting, and the summer cicadas on the big locust tree on the street were screaming one after another, as if their throats were about to be torn off.

For half a year, I haven't seen a drop of rain.

People who are hot feel dizzy and their foreheads twitch.

The windows of the bright and bright house are wide open, several basins of ice are placed inside the house, the maidservants fanning silently, the complicated and elegant gauze skirts are swaying and dragging on the ground, a slender hand in front of the desk, half holding a wolf hair, swaying calligraphy, A strand of black silk scattered from the temples, falling on both sides of the smooth and delicate white as porcelain, the beauty is like jade, exuding a sense of coolness.

"Master." Dong'er came with a bowl of sour plum soup, "Master Xiang Bo sent a message just now, saying that if you feel too bored, you can go back to the Zhao Mansion to play for a few days."

Chu Zhi didn't speak until the last word fell, picked up the rice paper and dried the ink on it carefully.

"In this situation, wherever you go, it will be boring."

She folded the letter carefully, stuffed it inside the envelope, sealed it with beeswax, and stamped it on, and handed it to Xia Er who was beside her: "Give this letter to Uncle Xiang and ask him to give it to the young master together." .”

Xia Er took the order and left the house with the letter.

"How about what I asked you to do?" Chu Zhi asked.

Dong'er replied: "As expected by the master, during this period of time, the Fourth Miss has indeed often visited the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and she has become a regular visitor."

Chu Zhi smiled slightly: "It seems that Chu Xi has made up his mind to cultivate this pawn."

Dong'er said: "I don't understand, since the master knows that the sixth girl and the fourth girl are colluding to deal with you and my uncle, why do you let them run amok and don't stop them in time?"

"Have you heard of pig farming?"

"What?"

Glancing at the bewildered Dong'er, Chu Zhi said slowly, "Don't be in a hurry, let alone panic, raise it slowly, and wait until it's fattened up and thickened before slaughtering and eating meat."

Dong'er suddenly realized: "No wonder it's called Yangzhuliu, master, you really know a lot."

Clinker Chu Zhi said, "Meng Wan said it."

Dong'er: "..."

"Actually, this is not the most important thing. Chu Xi must be able to train Chu Wan. She must have held back her big move. I interrupted her plan early, and she will definitely make a comeback. And there is no pleasure, it is better to wait. She has almost prepared a big move, and at the last moment, I suppressed it for her, and with Chu Xi's temperament, even if she is not mad, she can be half mad."

Hearing Dong'er gearing up, "Yes, it's just like Miss Meng said, you have to press her on the ground and rub her back and forth vigorously!"

"By the way, girl." Dong'er said, "My servant has watched my wife go to Luofu every day for the past two days, acting mysteriously, and I don't know what to do."

Roche?

"Does Lord Hou know?"

"Should know."

Because it was hot, Luo Shi said that he was not feeling well, and Chu Zhi didn't bother to move, so Lord Hou asked the small kitchen to deliver meals to the house, and everyone ate their own food, so Chu Zhi didn't see Luo Shi for several days.

"Go and find out."

"Okay, the servant will go now."

As soon as Dong'er left, Nanny Qian came in with a pile of clothes.

"Girl, this is the ice silk silk gauze dress newly cut by Xiuniang. It's the coolest weather to wear. Come and try it out to see if it fits you well."

"I have too many clothes, I can't wear them anymore, don't worry about it."

Qian Momo held the clothes, and after approaching Chu Zhi, she lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "Concubine Xiangui sent a letter, saying that there is one missing guard around Emperor Xiao, telling us to be careful."

Chu Zhi's eyes froze: "Do you know where you went?"

"It's just that I'm back in Beijing."

The dispatch of the dark guards is either a mission to kill and silence, or it is to secretly monitor and steal information.

Chu Zhi pondered for a moment: "You tell me to go on, you must be extremely careful in what you say and do in the future, especially some confidential matters."

"Slaves save it."

The dispatch of the dark guards is a big deal.

Chu Zhi didn't know how Concubine Xiangui found out the movements of the hidden guards, but it was really rare to be able to send this news.

She hurried to find Lord Hou.

Now that there is a severe drought, even the capital is flooded with many victims, but the city is heavily guarded, and those officials are more cunning than the other, so the refugees do not enter the city, but there are many women's families of dignitaries and dignitaries who donate porridge and do good deeds every day. After a period of time, these refugees did well.

Only in this way, a large number of refugees will be attracted more and more, and if things go on like this, it will become a hidden danger.

The emperor's feet became like this, let alone other places.

Thinking of the family letter written by Han Zhan, saying that the land in the Jiangnan area was dry and cracked, and the people drank human blood, and felt a burst of sadness.

Han Zhishan naturally thought of the problems that Chu Zhi could think of.

What's more, the Northern Qi Dynasty is imminent, internal troubles are unequal, foreign enemies attack again, Daliang is afraid of another war, the ridiculous thing is that Emperor Xiao is still in the palace for pleasure, singing and singing every night, enjoying it all the time, not caring about the life and death of the people at all, leaving a huge mess To the fourth prince and prince.

In order to cope with the current predicament, the veterans and loyal ministers of the imperial court have been working hard all night long, and they are all sad and gloomy, but the emperor is all incompetent, how many honest and upright officials can he bring out?

There are complaints outside the imperial city, and the people are living in dire straits. Inside the imperial city, there is sensuality, extravagance and debauchery. Those who are not benevolent officials use their power to amass money wantonly.

Today, there are only a few that can stay awake.

"Master Hou." Uncle Xiang knocked on the door of the study, "The concubine is here."

"Call her in."

Xiang Bo smiled to Chu Zhi who was on the corridor: "Concubine Shi Zi, you go in quickly! It's hot outside."

Chu Zhi also smiled and said, "Uncle Xiang has worked hard recently, just now I ordered the kitchen to freeze some melons, and I will have someone deliver them to you and father later, just to relieve the heat."

Uncle Xiang's old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile: "Thank you, Princess Concubine."

When Chu Zhi went in, he saw Lord Hou staring at the map hanging in the study in a daze.

"Father." Chu Zhi asked after saluting, "Are you worried about the disaster?"

"No matter how worried I am, it won't help."

Chu Zhi understood Zhongyonghou's mood, and said, "Father, I'm coming to see you right now, and I have something important to tell you."

She took a step forward, dipped her hands in water, and slowly wrote on the table, but she said: "I heard that there are many new things coming to the West Market. I want to go out for a walk when the evening cools down."

After finishing speaking, the words on the table were also written: His Majesty sent secret guards to Beijing, for some reason, and hoped that father would be careful.

Zhongyonghou's expression changed.

Chu Zhi took advantage of the situation to erase those words.

He frowned and thought for a long time, then said to Chu Zhi, "Follow me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and patted the wall twice. Before Chu Zhi could see it clearly, the wall in front of him moved to the two sides, and a portrait appeared.

After seeing the person in the portrait clearly, Chu Zhi's eyes were slightly startled: "This is..."
