Jiuyou[Rebirth]

Chapter 057

"Your Highness is worried. The old minister has recovered a lot. Please sit inside, Your Highness." Cheng Zhen, the protector of the country, said respectfully.

Nowadays, no one dares to show off in front of Chen Xi, and Duke Hu is naturally the same.

Cheng Zhen's father, Cheng Chaoze, was the first protector of the country. Cheng Chaoze was of the same generation as Wenzong, and was Wenzong's minister. After the title of duke was passed to Cheng Zhen, Cheng Zhen followed the former emperor Huizong and was the confidant of Emperor Qinghui. , now Cheng Zhen's eldest son, Cheng Hai, who is now the protector of the country, follows the current Emperor Qingren, but Cheng Hai's eldest son supports the Ninth Prince Chen An.

Of course, the present Chen An and his elder sisters, Chen Wu and Cheng Qing, are far away from the capital.

However, this does not erase Cheng Hai's eldest son Cheng Lin and second son Cheng Lie's behavior of throwing stones at Chen Xi in order to support Chen An.

The mother of Cheng Lin and Cheng Lie, He Yongjin, is the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an, He Shicheng, and her cousin is the original concubine He Yongrou, although now the concubine He, who used to be in the harem, is dead. Can no longer die, the eldest prince, eighth prince and seventh princess under his name have all been secretly executed, but it has to be admitted that the two brothers of the Cheng family are very close to the eighth prince of the eldest prince from the He family, and the eldest prince He had poisoned Chen Xi countless times.

Although Cheng Rin and the others did not directly participate, they definitely knew about the actions of the First Prince, but they all watched from the sidelines.

Chen Xi didn't intend to pursue this matter. Although Cheng Bing and Cheng Rin were cousins ​​in the next room, they couldn't write two words of Cheng in one stroke.

Although the two families have separated, they still live in the same mansion, but the entire Duke Hu's mansion has been expanded. The family of Duke Hu has been passed down for four generations, and he really has a lot of children. .

After the Duke Protector entered the mansion, Chen Xi didn't make any detours, "I just remember that the marriage between Cheng Bing and Princess Jiahui is coming soon. Although the wedding is planned by the Ministry of Rites, after all, Princess Jiahui is married to Cheng Cheng's family, and the new house can be arranged gone?"

Cheng Zhen was stunned for a moment. Although Chen Xi and Chen Wei were siblings, it was natural for them to care about their sisters, but when they came up, they asked if the new house had been arranged. Was it a bit...

"Your Highness was joking, so naturally it has been arranged. Cheng Bing has been staying at the house for the past few days, and it happened that the old minister asked him to come and accompany His Highness." As he spoke, he ordered someone to invite Cheng Bing.

Su Ze didn't stop him either. He came to find Cheng Bing in the first place. The previous visit to Cheng Zhen was just rhetoric, and no one would take it seriously.

"By the way, Lord Protector, regarding the matter of your concubine, there is nothing the orphan and mother can do about it, so I ask Lord Protector to express my condolences." Chen Xi said suddenly.

Cheng Zhen was startled, and said sternly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be distressed. That evildoer did such a thing, and now she is to blame for her fate." Cheng Zhen was actually very aggrieved when he said this.

If Cheng Qing alone did something to confuse the royal family's blood, Cheng Zhen would probably really believe that his daughter was not a woman.

After all, it was they who repeatedly obstructed Cheng Qing from being with his sweetheart, which forced Cheng Qing to enter the palace angrily and became the emperor's concubine.

But Cheng Qing wasn't the only one who did something to confuse the royal family's blood, so it proved that it wasn't Cheng Qing's fault.

One or two may be that the woman does not obey women's ways, but all of them do not obey women's ways, which is too ridiculous.

Let’s talk about Concubine Lu Gui who was executed in the Beiping Palace. She has a deep affection for the present, but she is devoted to Empress Shen now.

But even Lu Guifei's children are not the emperor's, which shows how strange this matter is.

Cheng Zhen has gone through two generations of emperors. Since Emperor Hui was alive, he has emerged. He won the imperial examination at the age of 16 and was entrusted with important tasks by Huizong. Even after Emperor Qingren ascended the throne, Cheng Zhen was still reused. Having been in the court for decades and two generations of emperors, these two points alone can prove that Cheng Zhen has extraordinary eyesight.

Is he a fool who can't see that the recent turmoil in the blood test was not because of Empress Shen, but because of the current Majesty Chen Zhu?

In the past, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty complained in their hearts more than once, is it true that apart from Chen Xi, those princes are not the blood of today, otherwise how can they do things like favoring Chen Xi alone and ignoring other princes?

Now that things have happened, it proves that today is a very self-willed person, who can even do things like cuckold himself.

Withdrawing his complicated thoughts, Cheng Zhen couldn't help but muster all his energy in the face of Chen Xi, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

This prince is not a good person, he suddenly asked about Cheng Qing, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, he could only make such a gesture in front of Chen Xi, and he could only pity his daughter...

If he knew it would become like this, so what if he had allowed Cheng Qing to marry that ignorant boy?The big deal is to arrange some more dowry for the daughter, and it’s okay to subsidize it secretly, it’s better than losing her life at a young age.

Pity him for the white-haired man to send the black-haired man...

Chen Xi is not an ordinary person, how can he not feel Cheng Zhen's duplicity, he doesn't say much, just smiles to expose this point, he just needs to know that Cheng Zhen is not dissatisfied with him and Empress Shen in his heart.

As long as there is no dissatisfaction, Chen Mao will not be angered, and now he only needs to explore Cheng Bing again.

But Chen Xi thought that Cheng Bing probably wouldn't transfer Cheng Qing's anger to Chen Mao.

Although Cheng Qing came from the Duke Huguo's Mansion, he was from the first house, and Cheng Bing was from the second house.

Cheng Chaoze, the first generation protector of the country, has three brothers. The second brother, Cheng Chaoyang, is a direct brother of the same father and the same mother, while the third brother, Cheng Chaomin, is the son of a concubine, with the same father and half mother.

Cheng Chaoze has only one child, Cheng Zhen, while Cheng Chaoyang has two sons, the eldest son Cheng Yang, and the second son Cheng Zheng.Cheng Yang has only one son named Cheng Mu, and Cheng Bing is the second son of Cheng Mu.

Strictly speaking, Cheng Qing is Cheng Bing's cousin, and her bloodline is a little weak. When Cheng Qing entered the palace, Cheng Bing was still young, and the relationship was not close, so naturally she didn't have much affection.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that Cheng Bing will anger Chen Wei because of Cheng Qing.

But no matter how low it is, Chen Xi will not be sloppy with Chen Wei's affairs.

He knows too well that sometimes, human beings are very strange creatures, and they can forcibly break out a life-and-death enmity without any enmity, not to mention some small grievances in the first place?

Cheng Bing was still painting when he was found by the people sent by the Lord Protector. When he heard that Chen Xi was coming, his hand trembled, and the ink dripped on the painting. The masterpiece that took a whole morning was completely destroyed.

But he didn't dare to complain, and while packing his clothes, he thought to himself, he will marry Chen Yu on the ninth day of next month, what is Chen Xi looking for at this time?

To be honest, Cheng Bing was a little afraid of Chen Xi, and he didn't know why. Although Chen Xi had a gentle appearance all day long, Cheng Bing was terribly afraid of Chen Xi.

Quickly rushed to the main courtyard, at this moment Chen Xi had already had a very happy chat with Duke Huguo.

Chen Xi wanted to please people, it really couldn't be easier.

As soon as he looks good, this will give him a lot of points. No matter who he is, he will always be more tolerant when facing a good-looking face.Secondly, Chen Xi's status also gave him a lot of advantages. After all, he was the crown prince, so he was very satisfied with not pretending to be aggressive in front of Duke Hu.

"Students see His Highness, His Highness Chitose Jin'an."

"Get up." Chen Xi joked with a smile, "In a short while, you and Sister Jiahui will become my brother-in-law when you get married, so you don't have to be so formal."

Chen Xi has long discovered that Cheng Bing is very afraid of him. Although he doesn't know why, it's good to know that he is afraid. If he knows that he is afraid, he dare not belittle Chen Wei. Although the two are true love, love is the most difficult thing to figure out. That's right, maybe at some point Cheng Bing will feel that his relationship has faded, and he wants to separate, and then take a concubine or something.

Although this kind of thing is only necessary in Ziwu now, it is not a big deal to prevent it in advance.

How could Cheng Bing dare to call himself Chen Xi's brother-in-law? He didn't even dare to say, "Isn't Mr. Han's three feasts today? Why did His Highness come to the Duke Huguo's Mansion?"

Chen Xi looked at Cheng Bing with a smile, "What? You are not welcome?"

"Your Highness is joking, students don't dare." Cheng Bing wiped off his cold sweat and said with a pale face.

"Okay, I saw that you were scared, but I was just joking with you." Looking at Cheng Bing's appearance, Chen Xi also knew that this guy didn't dare to anger his sister. After getting the answer, he didn't want to waste any more time in the Duke Protector's Mansion. Time, stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, Gu and King Ning will go back to the palace first."

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

After Cheng Zhen and Cheng Bing respectfully sent them out of the Duke Huguo's Mansion, Chen Xi and Su Ze got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

……

Capital, west of the city.

A man in a black brocade robe stood under the city wall with a cold expression.

"Mo Mu'an...Feng Ya...didn't expect you to be so fateful." He suddenly smiled, "However, so what, your strength is greatly weakened now, so it shouldn't be too easy to kill you... Humph, what if It’s not the way of heaven staring at you, it’s killing you now!”

At this time, a man wearing a cloak suddenly came out from behind the man, and his whole body was completely covered by the cloak.

"Don't forget our mission. Your current identity is Yao Huan." A hoarse voice came from under the cloak, which made goosebumps drop all over the floor.

Facing Yao Huan's face, the man frowned, and said coldly, "I know, I want you to talk too much? You're just a fake demon, do you really treat yourself like a green onion? Don't think you sold me news about Mo Mu'an and the others. I will enshrine you as a god. If you are sensible, after I take revenge, I will allow you to return to the fairy world. If you dare to be unfaithful, believe it or not, I will beat you to death immediately, and you are not even qualified to be a false devil ?”

The man in the cloak shivered for a moment, but didn't dare to speak anymore.

Seeing people being honest, 'Yao Huan' showed a satisfied look on his face, "As long as you obediently do things for this deity, this deity will not lose your benefits, understand?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go to the city. Those guys are very good these days, but since I'm here, I won't let them continue to have fun."'Yao Huan' sneered.

The people under the cloak are full of contempt. When Mo Muan and Feng Ya were roaming the fairy world, why didn't you dare to say this in front of them?Now that he is seriously injured and his strength is greatly damaged, he dares to show off his prestige, what kind of wolf with a big tail is he?
