"I heard that you brought a girl back from outside?" Chu Ci looked at Qi Lianyu with another evil smile, and then looked like she was one of her own and everyone understood.

Qi Lianyu glanced at the table that had been cleared, and seemed to realize that the girl who drank the porridge and took away the porridge was not a dream, but was real, and since Chu Ci asked this, it meant that she was

While he was sleeping, someone had already told him what had just happened.

"Well, we bumped into each other when we were out..."

Qi Lianyu briefly told Chu Ci about how he wanted to leave through the back door, then went to Tongyuan Inn and bumped into the girl eating porridge.

"Tsk tsk, it's fate. Didn't you ask about that girl's last name and where she lives? If we meet her in the future, we can renew our relationship," Chu Ci joked.

"Continue your relationship with your sister." Qi Lianyu said angrily to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci smiled widely, looking at the other party's embarrassment, she was really happy.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Master, there is a letter from outside."

Chu Ci and Qi Lianyu looked at each other. They both understood the meaning of this sentence. There was a letter from outside. It must be that there was movement in the net they cast.

The door opened, Xiao Liuzi handed the note in his hand to Chu Ci, and then left in a hurry.

Chu Ci opened the note and took a look, then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Qi Lianyu was a little curious. He didn't know what was written in the note that could make Chu Ci react like this.

"Zheng Yanming went to Tongyuan Inn."

Qi Lianyu said with some curiosity: "Zheng Yanming, Zheng family? Why is he going there to join in the fun?"

"Where Deng Yue is, everyone wants to go and get some benefits. After all, catching Deng Yue means taking control of the entire Bai Feng Tang. As for the Zheng family, they must have been a little unwilling to be kicked out of Kyoto by His Majesty."

Qi Lianyu took the words and said, "Does the Zheng family want to make a comeback?"

Although Qi Lianyu and Chu Ci were both young and were not born when the Zheng family was expelled from Kyoto Prefecture, they later

Anyone who comes here knows something about it.

"I heard my father mentioned what happened to the Zheng family back then. The reason why Your Majesty did not completely get rid of the Zheng family was because he was afraid of the power of the Zheng family. He was worried that if the Zheng family really wanted to rebel, it would be difficult to cope with it given the national strength at that time.

The second is because of the Zheng family's contribution to the Chu State. If the Zheng family really wants to cause trouble for no good reason, do you think your Majesty will agree? The current Chu State is not what it was more than thirty years ago.

Chu State."

Indeed, in the first year of the Dali calendar, Chu Boxiong had just ascended the throne. The state of Chu had been severely damaged by the Battle of Liuling. The Zheng family was already quite powerful in the court. If the Zheng family had really rebelled at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Therefore, Chu Boxiong did his best to appease the Zheng family, and waited until the Chu state's vitality recovered slightly before attacking the Zheng family. However, even so, Chu Boxiong did not dare to completely destroy the Zheng family, but expelled them from the court and demoted them to

common people.

After more than thirty years, the Chu State's national power has become increasingly prosperous, faintly surpassing that before the Battle of Liuling. Therefore, if the Zheng family is dishonest at this time, Chu Boxiong will not keep him anymore.

Time goes back to when the porridge girl came out of Prince Liang's Mansion.

The servants of Prince Liang's Mansion listened to Qi Lianyu's instructions, got on the carriage, and took the porridge girl out of Kyoto Mansion. The porridge girl on the road didn't know what was wrong, but she was unusually quiet, and she just exposed the curtain of the carriage.

There was a gap, and then he looked around carefully.

When the handyman saw the porridge-drinking girl behaving like this, he thought that she had just stayed in the countryside for a long time and that everything was new to her when she first arrived in Kyoto Prefecture.

"Girl, is this your first time back to Kyoto Prefecture?"

The porridge-drinking girl was stunned for a moment, with a trace of disappointment in her eyes, and then said to the handyman driving the cart: "I have been here before, but I have forgotten how it looked now."

The handyman driving the horse continued: "This Kyoto Prefecture is no smaller than yours. A small place will not change at all even if it lasts ten or eight years. But Kyoto Prefecture is different. Maybe you can close your eyes and take a nap today."

, when I woke up the next day, I was completely different."

The porridge-drinking girl's eyes still stayed on the street slowly heading back outside the carriage.

"Hey, girl, have you seen that the alley in front is Xilin Alley. Yushitai Shui's family used to be here, but after the disaster in Shui's family, there was no more

Someone has lived in it."

When the porridge-drinking girl heard the handyman driving the carriage mention that place, she finally moved her eyes to him, and then looked in the direction of his finger.

"So we're here." The porridge-drinking girl whispered to herself, but there was a trace of sadness in her voice.

"Has the girl been here?" The handyman driving the carriage obviously heard what the girl eating porridge said.

The porridge girl didn't answer, she just lowered the curtain of the carriage and shrank into the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove out of the capital city of Kyoto, and not long after, it arrived in front of the dilapidated temple that the porridge girl mentioned.

The porridge girl hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran into the ruined temple in a hurry.

"Xiaocao, Xiaocao, I'm back."

At this time, a girl also appeared in front of the ruined temple. She looked young, with a childish face, and her face was a little pale. She was leaning weakly in front of the door. At this time, he saw the porridge-drinking girl running towards him. In an instant,

Tears overflowed from his eyes.

"Miss, Miss, why did you come back? I couldn't find you as soon as I woke up. I thought you left me and left."

Xiaocao burst into tears and hugged the porridge-drinking girl tightly.

"Xiaocao, don't cry, I brought you some food." After saying that, the porridge girl handed the porridge she brought back from Qi Lianyu to Xiaocao, "You eat first, and after eating, we will go to the city."

.”

Xiaocao looked at her young lady in surprise, and then asked: "Miss, have you found your father's friend?"

When Xiaocao mentioned this, the porridge girl's eyes dimmed a little, then she shook her head and said, "No, but I met someone..."

When Xiaocao heard this, she was curious and asked: "Who is he? The young master from which family? Can he be compared to Mr. Li from the south of the city when we were listening to Yuxuan?"

The porridge-drinking girl blushed slightly when Xiaocao said it, and then said angrily: "Xiaocao, don't talk nonsense."

At this point, the porridge girl sighed softly again, and then said: "Since I found out about Yuxuan's disaster, I don't know where those sisters are now, and Mrs. Wang...
