After Si Jiang led the generals, Fei Yu and the strategists to wait for the Chen family army to leave Danyang City, except for the close contact at the beginning, they never contacted Chen Baiqi. This was very unusual, and Chen Baiqi knew that something must have gone wrong.

She forced herself to act on her impulse and just wanted to leave the palace, but she was blocked by the palace guards. They said that Danyang City was recently purging the remnants of the rebels. For her safety, Prince Cangyue temporarily let her stay in the palace. She could not

Act as you please.

As a result, Chen Baiqi was "invited" back using gentle but tough methods. For a moment, she felt mixed emotions and her face turned cold.

She decided to go find Prince Cang Yue, but unexpectedly met Sun Yang halfway.

Sun Yang was dressed in an open robe dyed with blue dye, showing off his noble and elegant attitude. His gentle brows reflected the bright flower stamens behind the corridor, and the bright night snow, making him look even more kind and approachable.

He was holding a stack of bamboo slips in his hand, the ink on the slips was still wet, and he was walking towards her. When he saw her at the corner, he seemed to be surprised for a moment, but Chen Baiqi's heart cooled, and he saw something else.

There are hundreds of twists and turns in the palace and the straight lines are unpredictable. He waited on the only path she took to find Master Cang Yue. After she was politely rejected by the concierge, he did not deviate from it, neither early nor late. This was not like an accident.

Encounter by chance.

Chen Baiqi also pretended not to notice anything. She stepped forward and saluted: "Bai Qi has met Mr. Sun."

"Oh, it's Aunt Chen. I just missed some important files and came back to get them, but unexpectedly I met Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen didn't go out today?"

Chen Baiqi didn't know if he asked knowingly, but he still replied gently: "At the end of the day, Bai Qi heard that Danyang City seems to be unsafe recently?"

Mr. Sun showed a look of surprise and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. As long as you bring enough people, Aunt Chen can go out. Speaking of which, the lord is too nervous. In order to welcome Princess Xihua of Qi State and the wedding envoy of Qi State, he

Start tightening the security in Danyang and don’t allow any accidents to occur in Danyang during this period.”

When Chen Baiqi heard this, he was stunned.

Princess Xihua of Qi State?

She tilted her head slightly, feeling that the water-colored sunlight refracted from the lake was a bit dazzling.

Chen Baiqi murmured: "Could it be that Chu and Qi are planning to..."

"Well, the two countries will get married in the near future. This is a major event for Chu and Qi. It was decided in the morning yesterday. Could it be that Aunt Chen hasn't heard about it?" Mr. Sun was surprised.

Chen Baiqi curled his lips and shook his head.

Judging from her expression, even the wily Mr. Sun could not tell what was going on.

This sister-in-law's Taoist practice has become more and more advanced, and even he has to admit that sometimes this kind of person who can keep his emotions invisible is very scary.

Mr. Sun smiled deeply: "Presumably, my lord is worried that Aunt Chen will think too much about it, but from my point of view, Aunt Chen is a person who understands justice well. If she learns about the marriage between my lord and Princess Xihua, she will definitely

Feeling happy."

Chen Baiqi said lightly: "Emotional matters cannot be done willingly just by 'understanding the righteousness'..."

Mr. Sun stared at her sharply.

Chen Baiqi didn't look at him, and before she finished her words, she continued: "However, the young master is about to become the king of Chu, and his marriage is indeed a major event for the Chu country. If Mr. Sun asked Bai Qi what he thought about this matter, Bai Qi would indeed answer for him.

Master is very happy."

She pursed her lips and smiled, but she seemed to be really happy for Chu Cangyue.

After hearing these words, Mr. Sun relaxed his expression and felt as if a stone had settled down in his heart.

Regardless of whether she was sincere or hypocritical, at least she didn't act so ignorant.

Seeing that she was a sensible person after all, Mr. Sun decided to speak more deeply: "Aunt Chen, you must have known that the young master likes you."

When he asked this question, he kept his eyes firmly fixed on her expression, as if he didn't intend to let go of any suspicious clues.

Chen Baiqi smiled silently, not even raising his eyelids.

It didn't matter whether she accepted the words or not. She knew that Mr. Sun had something to say.

Seeing how calm she was, Mr. Sun suddenly felt that it was unreasonable to say such things to her, but for the sake of his lord, he had to say ugly things first.

"Aunt Chen, if the lord accepts you as his concubine, it would be a bit humiliating for you because of your talents and your magnanimity. But if you are made the queen, I am afraid that you are not worthy of the role of the Chu Palace. Responsibility." He said seriously.

What Mr. Sun has not finished saying is that if a sister-in-law as intelligent and brave as she is placed in the harem, if her ambition is untamed, the queen will not be able to control it with less means, and it will be a disaster in the lord's harem. It's a disaster, and besides, the lord's heart is only for her.

What the lord needs is a virtuous and generous queen, not a queen who is resourceful in government affairs.

"Mr. Sun's words, Bai Qi can wake up."

Chen Baiqi knew that he was wary of her competing for favor with Princess Xihua of Qi State in the future. This was completely out of the question, but she did not intend to argue with him because he had already confirmed this matter and she had not made it clear. There is no evidence to prove his innocence, so there will be no result from the dispute.

"If sir, nothing happens, Rong Baiqi will take his leave first." Chen Baiqi bowed his knees and bowed his head, saluted Mr. Sun, then passed him and went straight forward.

When Mr. Sun passed by her, he turned around. He stared at her back and sighed silently in his heart.

After all, he hurt others with his harsh words. Human nature is that love lasts forever and wisdom will be hurt. With such a sister-in-law, he really doesn't want to go to the worst possible situation with her.

——If she can always stick to her duty.

On the other hand, after receiving Chen Baiqi's Flying Eagle letter, Chen Bo from Chenjiabao in Pingling unfolded the letter and read ten lines. When he saw the content of the letter clearly, he was completely confused.

He took the silk letter and read it over and over again. His expression was so complicated that it was difficult to describe. He was happy at one moment, sad at another, sighing at other times, and melancholy at other times.

In the afternoon, he put down the letter in his hand and directly summoned all the servants in Chenjiabao without passing the lunch and ordered them to pack everything immediately, knowing that he was going to prepare to return to Danyang.

When the servants heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. But seeing Chen Bo's anxious expression, as if he couldn't wait a moment, they immediately started to sort it out.

But Chen Bo was still holding the letter from Chen Baiqi. He couldn't sleep at night, staring blankly upward. He never thought that he would finally be able to return to his hometown in such an upright manner in his lifetime. When he was forced to leave, He was filled with sadness and sentimentality. He thought that he might be buried in another country in this life, but he never expected that he could now return to his hometown in glory thanks to the glory of his sweet mother.

This time, it was only because Jiao Niang ignored her own safety and went to Jiuzhu to help Young Master Cang Yue that the Chen family was spared from being accused of being a remnant of the former evildoers. Although he was ashamed that he had taken advantage of Jiao Niang's influence, he still had no regard for his Jiao Niang. My mother's ability is more of a pride.

His Jiao Jiao'er is capable, but now he is very worried about the relationship between Jiao Niang and Young Master Cang Yue.

Even if the current young master Cang Yue ascends the throne as the King of Chu, as a powerful overlord, he is still reluctant for his daughter to marry him. He hopes that Jiao Jiaoer will have the most enviable marriage for a sister-in-law in the world. Although marrying the King of Chu

It is an honor, but when he was an official, he understood that as a person in the harem, he must accept the rain and dew of the king, be generous and tolerant, and endure at any time only the new ones laugh but the old ones cry.

He loved and cared for his sweet child in every possible way, but he was unwilling to be ruined by others. Even if it was a great thing for others, he just didn't like it!

He has already made up his mind about Jiao Jiao'er's future marriage. He wants to recruit a good-looking son-in-law and keep him under his nose. If he treats Jiao Jiao'er well, then so be it. If not, he can do something about it.

After all, if you punish him, his Jiaojiao will not suffer a loss.

He spent the night thinking wildly, and when he got up hazily the next day, he suddenly remembered that Chen Jiaoniang had left a letter for him when she left, asking him to go to Shengyang Lake to find Mr. Xiangbo for help if anything happened.

Now that he was preparing to leave home, he couldn't keep silent like this, so he specially asked his servant to drive to Shengyang Lake. Mr. Xiangbo helped Jiao Jiaoer a lot in private, and he and Jiao Jiaoer

He was going to Danyang this time, and he didn't know when or what month he would be able to come back, so he made a special trip to say goodbye to Mr. Xiang Bo.

It was a coincidence that Mr. Xiangbo was drying herbs in the thatched cottage, while the child was doing some work on the side.

Chen Boqi was so happy that he asked his servants to wait outside the fence gate and went into the hospital alone.

Mr. Xiangbo cooked tea to serve the guests. Chen Bo recalled that when his son Cang Yue went to visit Mr. Xiangbo, not to mention being treated with tea, but even being rejected, he felt a little flattered.

This was the first time he met Mr. Xiangbo face-to-face, and he was immediately stunned by his appearance.

He had never thought that Mr. Xiangbo was so good-looking and so young.

Previously, most people only praised him for his humility and wisdom, but few people would describe his appearance and age.

Facing such a legendary creature, even if Chen Bo had some temperament, he would still feel nervous. He wondered how Jiao Jiao Niang could have such a happy conversation with this gentleman.

To say that Mr. Xiangbo has abandoned his sickly and desperate posture, he really deserves to be praised as a god-like figure.

After listening to Chen Bo's explanation of his purpose, Mr. Xiangbo was not surprised. He seemed to have known this for a long time.

Mr. Xiangbo only said that he would do a divination for him once, which was considered as sending him off to Danyang with Chen Bai.

Chen Bo had known that Mr. Xiangbo was an expert, capable of calculations, and it was a great blessing to get his fortune, so he immediately thanked him again and again.

Mr. Xiangbo asked the boy to prepare a stick of incense. When Mr. Xiangbo saw the calculated result, his expression changed.

Mr. Xiangbo hesitated for a moment and then said: "I happen to be going to Danyang. If Master Chen doesn't mind, I can come with you."

Huh? When he asked him to resign, he didn't say he was going to Danyang. Why was he suddenly going to Danyang now?

Chen Bo always felt that something was wrong with Mr. Xiangbo's expression. The problem obviously lay in the results of his calculations just now. It was obvious that Mr. Xiang did not want to talk in detail. Now he didn't know where to start.

He was restless for a while and only asked: "Sir, this hexagram is about my son, my dear mother. Will something happen to my son in Danyang?"

Chen Bo was not stupid, on the contrary, he was extremely smart and agile. He immediately considered that he did not think that based on the friendship between him and Mr. Xiangbo when they first met, he would be moved like this when he met Mr. Xiang Bo.

Unless, the content shown in this hexagram... is about Jiao Jiao'er.

Due to excessive mental turmoil, Chen Bo's eyes were red and he looked very anxious.

Mr. Xiang Bo saw that he was so confused and confused. If he didn't reply to him, he would probably go crazy and get hurt from overthinking.

He asked the child to make another pot of soothing tea, and said with a solemn and worried expression: "If someone says that if we are late on this trip, she may... fade away and die, Lord Chen, can you believe it?"

When Chen Bo heard this, he felt as if he was struck by thunder. The color on his face instantly faded, and he fell to the ground as if his legs were weak.

——

Danyang.

Chen Baiqi learned about the marriage between Chu and Qi from Sun Yang, but he had no other special reaction.

She was still planning to go find Young Master Cang Yue, but her recent attempts to find him always failed. However, the guard said that later, the Chu Palace would send someone to bring Chen Baiqi into the palace, claiming that Young Master Cang Yue had ordered it.

Chen Baiqi was determined to see him, so he waited patiently.
