All the money was taken by Xiao Xixi to buy the storybook.

But she dared not say it.

She looked away with a guilty conscience: "Concubine was idle and bored, and went out to buy some food. All the money you gave was spent by concubine."

Luo Qinghan: "Really?"

Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! There are a lot of delicious food in Shenbao County. The concubine couldn't hold back, so she ate a lot, and all the money was spent."

Luo Qinghan responded lightly: "Oh, that's right."

It seems that he has to have someone check it out to see what Xiao Xixi is doing behind his back?

Xiao Xixi was afraid that he would continue to ask questions, so she hurriedly performed the topic-changing Dafa.

"What's going on at the Chenliu Palace? I heard that Qiu Yuan is dead. How did he die?"

Luo Qinghan recounted the story of Qiu Yuan's rebellion and then being killed by his own brother.

After Xiao Xixi heard it, she sighed in her heart: "This is really a tit for tat!"

Luo Qinghan: "King Chenliu is going to be mourned tomorrow, do you want to go to the palace to have a feast today?"

Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.

Although she has never met King Chen Liu, but meeting is a fate, it is nothing to go to his old man's house.

The two left the palace and took a carriage to the Chenliu Palace.

White lanterns hang at the gate of the palace.

The entire palace was shrouded in a cloud of sadness, and even the servants who came to open the door to greet them had a mourning face.

Xiao Xixi followed the prince into the palace and into the mourning hall.

The coffin of King Chenliu is parked in the mourning hall, and the spiritual seat of King Chenliu is placed on the incense case.

Qiu Sheng was wearing sackcloth, kneeling beside the incense table, his expression numb and holey.

There were still many women kneeling behind him, some of them were concubines of King Chen Liu, and two were the wife of Qiu Yuan and Qiu Lei.

They were all crying and their eyes were swollen.

Luo Qinghan brought Xiao Xixi up to burn incense and worship.

Qiu Sheng kowtowed in return.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince and the Concubine Side for coming to offer condolences to my father."

In just one month, he lost two older brothers and his father successively, and he was even forced to kill his eldest brother with his own hands.

The successive blows left him exhausted and almost desperate.

If it wasn't for the fact that his father had told him that he wanted to live before his death, he would have been unable to endure it long ago.

Xiao Xixi didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only persuade him softly.

"You have to take care of yourself. Although King Chenliu is gone, he is still blessing you in the sky. You are not alone. You still have your father, and we will also help you."

Qiu Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Thank you."

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan walked out of the mourning hall.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Xixi asked, "Your Highness, what do you plan to do with the family members left by King Chenliu?"

Luo Qinghan: "Qiu Yuan committed the crime of treason. According to the law, he should be beheaded all over the house, but for Qiu Sheng's righteous killing of his relatives and the murder of a traitor, Gu Hui interceded for him. As for Qiu Yuan's wife Son, there must be no living mouths, we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots."

Xiao Xixi was silent.

Luo Qinghan seemed to see what she was thinking, and said calmly: "You don't need to sympathize with Qiu Yuan's family, although Qiu Yuan's decision to rebel was his own, but his family also followed him and enjoyed the glory for a long time. Rich and noble, since they have enjoyed the benefits, they have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.”

Xiao Xixi nodded: "Being the king and defeating the bandit, the concubine still understands this principle."

The two returned to the palace in a carriage.

Although the rebellion has been quelled, there are still many things in Panyun City that the prince needs to deal with.

He said to Xiao Xixi, "You go back to your room to rest first, and then come to you after you're done with your business."

Xiao Xixi remembered her unread books, and said seriously: "The most important thing is business, you can take your time and don't worry about your concubine."

Luo Qinghan went to the study.

Eunuch Chang walked in and said respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, there was a woman who came to see Zhao Meiren just now, and the servant asked someone to check it. That woman is Chu Ji's maiden family. The reason why she came to Zhao Meiren was to ask Zhao Meiren to help me to intercede. Rao Chuji A life."

Luo Qinghan didn't care about these little things, he asked casually, "Meiren Zhao agreed?"

"Zhao Meiren neither agreed nor refused."

It was precisely because Zhao Meiren's attitude was too vague that Eunuch Chang felt that something was wrong, so he reported the matter to the prince.

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Let people stare at her and see what she wants to do."

"Here."

...

Xiao Xixi returned to the bedroom and immediately drove out all the palace maids and eunuchs.

She closed the door and pulled the latch to make sure that no one outside could get in, then ran to open the cage, lifted the clothes that covered it, and revealed the neatly arranged words book underneath.

Taking advantage of the prince's absence, Xiao Xixi can finally read these words with confidence and boldness!

She couldn't wait to pick out a book of words and read it on the soft couch.

She was watching intently when she heard a knock on the door.

dong dong!

Xiao Xixi was taken aback.

She immediately closed the book, her ears perked up, and she asked cautiously.

"Who?"

Zhao Meiren's voice came in through the door: "Sister, it's me, I want to ask you for help with something."

Xiao Xixi reluctantly stuffed the words book under the pillow, got up and opened the door.

Zhao Meiren blessed her: "Sister, can we go in and talk?"

Xiao Xixi felt inexplicable.

Since the last time she was scalded by boiling water, Zhao Meiren rarely appeared in front of her again. The relationship between the two was completely torn apart. Now that Zhao Meiren suddenly came to her door, it was really strange.

At this time, Zhao Meiren's eyes were flushed red, and there were still a few tears in the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.

Xiao Xixi asked puzzled: "What else can we talk about?"

Zhao Meiren wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and choked: "I'm sorry, I was too emotional last time, and I only said those words in front of the prince on impulse. In fact, I have long since regretted it, and I will be scalded by boiling water. It was purely an accident, it had nothing to do with you, and I shouldn't have thrown dirty water on you."

Xiao Xixi: "You should tell the prince these words. What's the use of telling me?"

"I have to apologize to you, I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Xixi replied simply: "Okay, I forgive you, is there anything else? If not, please come back."

Her words were seeing the wonderful places, and now her mind is full of plots in the book, where is she still in the mood to chat with Zhao Meiren?

She just wanted to get rid of this woman quickly and continue to read her dictionaries.

Zhao Meiren didn't expect that she would accept her apology so readily, and couldn't help but be stunned, the words she had prepared were useless.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Xiao Xixi thought she had nothing else to do and was about to close the door.

Zhao Meiren quickly reached out and pressed the door of the house: "Wait a minute!"
