Xuanfeng fell silent, because he knew that what he said was indeed correct, and it was indeed impossible to refute it.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, being sent to Dachu this time can be regarded as an opportunity. No matter how despicable the method is, it doesn't matter. Everything is a success or failure. As long as you win, who will care what your methods are!
So when he looked at Xiao Zhi's actions, even though he felt a little disapproval in his heart, he still didn't say anything, because once the time came and he returned to Northern Qi, he and Xiao Zhi were both prosperous and devastated.
"Since you all know what the outcome will be, then we must take advantage of every opportunity in Dachu. Whether it is Aunt Huan or Chu Xin, no matter which one we catch, it will be useful!"
Xiao Zhi said indifferently, but there was a hint of warmth when he mentioned Chu Xin's name. He knew exactly what he was doing and his purpose.
Xuanfeng sighed deeply and patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder. The matter had come to this, and he could only continue. Seize whatever you could, as long as it was beneficial to you.
…
"Xin'er."
Xie Ruling screamed in a daze, feeling that the injured area was burning with pain. She didn't feel it when she was asleep, but she clearly felt the pain again when she gradually woke up.
Chu Xin sat slumped on the ground, resting her head on Xie Ruling's arm and fell asleep. She had been busy all night helping to wipe and change dressings. Finally, she had a free time, and she tilted her head. Fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Jing Xin sleeping, and Xie Ruling couldn't help but curl her lips.
With such comfort on her body, she knew that someone must have been wiping her body all night long, otherwise she would have been sticky due to the pain of being beaten and sweating so much.
She just said that this daughter was not raised in vain. It was really useful at the critical moment. She knew how to love her mother!
The mother naturally became more and more happy as she looked at her daughter. She seemed to have forgotten the pain in her body and reached out to touch Chu Xin's face.
Thinking of the time spent in the cold palace these years, it was actually entirely because of Chu Xin that she was able to stay for so long. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to watch this little girl grow up.
Chu Xin felt a pair of warm hands touching her face, and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that Xie Ruling had woken up, she immediately smiled.
"I knew my mother would get better!"
As she spoke, she continued to rub her face against those warm hands. She really liked this feeling. It was the warmth that only a mother could give her.
"You silly girl, you just hit a few blows and you can't kill anyone!" Xie Ruling patted Chu Xin's face again and smelled the scent of medicine, which was strange.
"Where did you get the medicine from? The medicine left last time has long been used up. Could it be that you sneaked out?"
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Ruling became nervous. If Chu Xin ran out again, wouldn't the beating she received be in vain?
Originally, the beating he willingly received was enough to relieve Zheng Yinghuan's anger. But if he knew that Chu Xin ran out and made trouble for everyone, wouldn't he have to write down another account?
"No, no, I didn't go out. There were many guards at the door last night, and I couldn't go out."
Chu Xin quickly covered Xie Ruling with the quilt. She was so worried that the quilt had slipped off.
"Then where do these medicines come from? I think the medicine I left last time has been used up. Where did you find them?"
Xie Ruling wondered, could this medicine be conjured out of thin air?
Chu Xin blinked, not knowing whether she should tell this matter, but decided to tell it anyway.
"Next to the Cold Palace is Nanyuan. In Nanyuan lives the Northern Qi Proton. I used to know him. When he came to see me last night, he gave me a lot of medicine, so I took it and used it."
Chu Xin doesn't want to hide anything in front of her mother, not to mention that this shouldn't be a big deal, so it doesn't matter if she talks about it, right?
As he spoke, he carefully glanced at Xie Ruling, and found that the other party's expression was as usual, and then he felt relieved.
"It should have been two years since the Northern Qi proton came to Dachu, and it will be another six years before he can be sent back." Xie Ruling thought carefully, "He actually sent the medicine last night. At least he is kind to us. , it’s not a big deal for you to interact with him in private, but you’d better not let anyone know about it.”
Xie Ruling whispered, it doesn't matter whether the matter is big or small, it depends on how you handle it.
Since he is a proton, it means that he will return to Beiqi sooner or later. It is not a big deal for the two children to communicate in private.
"Um!"
Chu Xin smiled and nodded. In fact, she was quite happy to have such a good friend. The most important thing was that he was able to help her so much last night.
"After all, you still have to be careful. It doesn't matter how many people are paying attention to you in the cold palace now. When you go out in the future, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds. And remember, never mention your mother in front of your father. I know You are resentful of your father in your heart, but you must not show it."
Xie Ruling warned that she knew Chu Xin understood many things at a young age, but in the end it was a child who couldn't control his emotions.
No matter what His Majesty has done, Chu Xin will have to rely on Your Majesty for the rest of her life. She can finally get out, but she must not anger His Majesty again, otherwise her life will really be over.
"Don't worry, mother. I know what mother is worried about. The last time I went to Chuxiu Palace to see His Majesty, I saw the indifferent expression he looked at me. I knew that I was just a dispensable person in his heart. Daughter, he even wishes I didn’t exist.”
Chu Xin said this with a smile. What happened last time shattered all the last illusions in her heart. It turned out that His Majesty was so indifferent to her, but he loved his other daughter in every possible way. .
"You have suffered," Xie Ruling held Chu Xin's hand distressedly, "but these are the most useless. You and I have lived in the cold palace for so many years, you must know that these illusory feelings are the most useless. The most useless thing. It can’t make your hungry stomach full, and it can’t make your cold hands warm. The most important thing is that your identity has finally been affirmed and recognized by His Majesty, so that you can earn a good future for yourself in the future."
Xie Ruling endured the pain on her body and spoke her heartfelt words to Chu Xin. In fact, didn't she make the same mistake at the beginning? She regarded His Majesty's love as something bigger than the sky.
But doesn’t it seem like this now?
Chu Xin lowered her head and did not speak, but Xie Ruling knew that she would listen to all these words, because she has always been a smart child.
Chu Xin choked and nodded, leaning against Xie Ruling again. She was used to this. She had already regarded Xie Ruling as her second mother, and she always wanted to rely on her mother to draw warmth.
Prince Rui's Mansion.
Chu Xun is reciting swordsmanship with his master. He has been practicing for several years at a young age, and many of his movements are well-formed and look extremely pleasing to the eye.
Chu Jing sat aside and nodded with satisfaction, seeing that this was the child he was most satisfied with, growing into the look he was most satisfied with.
Watching this child grow up healthily day by day, I no longer regret the decision I made back then.
With the last move, this set of swordsmanship came to an end. Feeling the loving eyes of his father sitting beside him, Chu Xun immediately ran to his side with a smile.
Chu Jing touched Chu Xun's head lovingly. The more he looked at the child, the more he fell in love with it. After all, he was the child of his beloved woman.
I was willing to take such a big risk to bring her back and raise her, but after raising her for so many years, I actually have feelings for her.
"In a few days, the emperor will announce that I have entered the palace. You have to practice your sword well in the palace. You are not allowed to be lazy. Do you understand?"
"Why do you want to enter the palace?" Chu Xun pouted and tugged on Chu Jing's sleeves with some dissatisfaction.
"Because I guess that Brother Huang has something on his mind that I need to solve," Chu Jing smiled, but there was obviously a bit more bitterness in his smile.
Can the people in the cold palace finally come out?
"Well, don't worry, father, I can still practice my sword obediently at home alone!"
Chu Xun nodded obediently. He only knew that his father raised him and he must listen to his father's words.
After comforting Chu Xun, Chu Jing took his cronies to the study, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
"Has there been news from the palace that Xie Ruling will be given a title after she comes out?"
Chu Jing stared at the clouds outside the window, his eyes far away.
"This subordinate doesn't know. Maybe the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have not discussed it, so the prince needs to enter the palace to resolve the matter."
The subordinates lowered their heads and reported truthfully.
"Brother Huang loves to be suspicious of others. He can never truly trust a person, whether it is a close relative or a beloved one."
Chu Jing gritted his teeth with a trace of hatred in his tone.
"I know, please step back."
Chu Jing waved his hands and didn't want to say anything more.
In fact, that person's voice has always appeared in his mind over the years. As the child grows older and older, he is really glad that the child does not look like her. If he did, he would be in trouble.
In fact, when he got the news, he really wanted to help, but he couldn't protect himself. The emperor's brother never believed him, and the relationship with his mother and queen was also very cold.
He had lived a low-key life for so many years, and finally gained some trust from the imperial brother.
But at that time, he couldn't bear to see the one he loved die in the cold palace like this, so he went to visit secretly on the day she gave birth. Even if he couldn't save the life of the one he loved, he must save the child of the one he loved. .
When he saw that the first child he gave birth to was a boy, he was in despair. He knew that if a son was born, both mother and son would surely die!
But then she gave birth to a second child, a daughter. It turned out that she was carrying twins.
When he saw that the second child was a daughter, he immediately relaxed, because if it was a daughter, he could still survive.
Even if I can only linger in the cold palace from now on, after all, this life is left.
So he immediately took the boy away and left the girl behind. The boy took the boy away and quietly stayed in the house, leaving only his close associates to take care of him when he was young.
Fortunately, he saved a folk woman at that time. The woman's name was Xue'er. Xue'er was very sick, so he kept Xue'er by his side and treated her in the name of the princess. Later, he told the world that the child was born to Xue'er.
In order to repay his life-saving kindness, Xueer helped him hide all this, but she was weak and sick and died early.
