Chapter 152: Going through the door but not entering

Xiao Bi's accuracy and speed have never been a problem.

Qingzhao couldn't dodge and was hit in the face.

"Princess, I didn't mean that." She put down the needle and thread in her hands and walked to the bed holding the pillow.

She rearranged the pillows and sat down on her side.

"The day when Prince Guangling's leg was broken was the birthday of the eldest son in the Imperial Palace's Su residence. Not only the fifth master, but also the seventh master and the eighth master were invited to the Su residence.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter must have nothing to do with our house."

"That's not necessarily the case." Xiao Bi adjusted her posture: "There are many skilled people in the world. My brother-in-law has taught me more than once. If I want to teach someone a lesson, I don't have to do it myself. I just pay to hire someone.

That guy Wei Chuo was such a failure as a person that he couldn't be saved because someone who didn't like him hired someone to beat him.

This is good, since he has broken his leg and cannot return to the fiefdom. Maybe when we return to the capital from Yiyang County, we will have a chance to reminisce with him."

Ying Shui joked: "If King Guangling knew that the princess was still thinking about him thousands of miles away, he would definitely not care about the broken leg and would crawl back to Guangling County as soon as possible."

"You just have a bad idea!" Qingzhao also said with a smile: "Yiyang County and Guangling County are adjacent to each other. The princess will set off tomorrow. If he crawls back, wouldn't he just hit the princess's hand?"

The joke between the two made Xiao Bi feel a lot better.

"I've been away from the capital for so long. Is everything okay in the house?"

Qingzhao said: "It's not like anything big happened. It's just that the Duke heard that you left the capital without permission, so he went to find the slaves and reprimanded them."

Xiao Bi smiled sarcastically: "What are Xin and Xiao Chan busy with recently?"

How can a bastard man who almost killed his whole family pretend to be a loving father now?

If you have the energy to take good care of Xin Su and her daughter, don't make any trouble and drag others into trouble.

Qingzhao pursed her lips and smiled: "Why did you suddenly think of them two?"

"Don't you want to relieve my boredom? The matter between mother and daughter is the most suitable."

Ying Shui said: "Recently, the second lady and the tenth lady have been running to Xin's house whenever they have free time, so often that even the third lady has become suspicious.

She deliberately asked Sister Zhongfang to arrange for many people to stare at the second lady.

Don't worry, Princess, if there is any trouble in Suxinyuan, it will definitely not be hidden from the Third Lady."

Xiao Bi felt a little bored and asked Xiao Siyi about opening a charity hall.

"Everything is going well with the county master. Before leaving the capital, I heard from Shen Yan that the renovation team, Dr. Zhou, has completed the drawings, and Uncle Lanfu has also hired manpower to demolish the house."

Xiao Bi nodded: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you start, it won't take long for you to see results."

Ying Shui put down her needle and thread and walked over.

"Princess Princess, you have asked this and that, but you don't want to ask about the Queen's condition?"

"You don't need to ask to know that eldest sister must be angry."

Ying Shui smiled and said: "You guessed it wrong, the Queen is not angry, she is just a little regretful.

She said that you shouldn’t have been informed about the five thousand horses in advance, causing you to abandon your errands.”

Xiao Bi pouted: "I'm not here for five thousand horses... By the way, Third Sister said it won't take long for me to get all the horses.

How about you two stay in Yanmen County for a while longer, and then you can keep an eye on it for me."

The two maids shook their heads together.

"Are you still worried about what Third Auntie and Third Auntie are doing? Are we both the same?"

"Ying Shui and I haven't been to Mohua Village in more than a year, and we miss those people very much.

Besides, Yan Jiao'er is missing, so we have to help find him."

"Okay, okay, I really can't speak to you two." Xiao Bi slid down and lay back on the bed: "Since we want to go to Yiyang County together, let's go to bed quickly. Getting up late tomorrow morning will delay things.

.”

Qingzhao and Yingshui put down the curtain for her with a smile, blew out the oil lamp and retreated.

Early the next morning, Xiao Shan and his wife rushed to the camp.

He handed the prepared food, medicine and clothing to Qingzhao and Yingshui, and gave them detailed instructions.

"Third sister knows that you are busy, so I won't keep you here this time. Please take care of yourself along the way."

"I understand. Third sister and third brother-in-law should also take care of themselves." Xiao Bi hugged Xiao Shan and led the horse out of the camp.

Because the matter was urgent, the group chose the nearest route to Yiyang County.

In less than six days, they had arrived near the capital.

Xiao Bi and Huan Yu had good martial arts skills, and apart from being slightly tired, they didn't feel any discomfort.

The other four people were a little embarrassed, especially Qingzhao and Yingshui. Their originally small faces were suddenly a little smaller, and their expressions were a little haggard.

Xiao Bi couldn't bear it, pointed in the direction of the capital and said: "The sun shines on the water, why don't you two go back to the capital.

We are only halfway through the journey to Yiyang County, if you continue like this you will get sick."

Qingzhao and Yingshui naturally refused: "Slaves can persist."

Xiao Bi stroked her forehead: "I really can't do anything to you..."

Huan Yu advised: "This place is only ten miles away from the capital, why not go back and rest for a night?"

Qingzhao hurriedly said: "No, no, we just need to find a place to rest for a while, and we will recover soon.

If you return to the capital, it will not be so easy to come out again."

Of course Xiao Bi understood this truth. She thought for a while and then said: "I remember that the third sister asked someone to prepare a pack of good ginseng slices before leaving. If you two can't hold on any longer, take it out and use it."

"Thank you, Princess."

Knowing that they could go with them, Qingzhao and Yingshui both smiled and looked much better.

Huan Yu said helplessly: "In that case, let's run a few dozen miles while the weather is still early. There is a post station there. Let's rest there tonight."

The other five people had no objections and rode forward together.

※※※※

Yiyang County is located in the southernmost part of the Wei Dynasty. It is a good place where things are prosperous and people are prosperous.

But it was already early May, the rainy season had arrived, and the weather was humid and hot.

The group of people rushed to the county government office. They felt sticky and greasy all over their bodies, so they found an inn and took a good wash.

After changing into decent clothes, Xiao Bi felt refreshed.

She ordered: "You guys have a good rest at the inn. Brother Huan and I will go to the government office."

Qingzhao and others responded and watched the two of them walk out of the guest room.

Although Yiyang County is Xiao Bi's fiefdom, she does not have the power to govern officials and people.

It's just that she has been coming here often in recent years and has become barely familiar with the officials here.

When we arrived at Defu Yamen, someone immediately came in to inform us.

Not long after, Lord Lu, the county governor, came out with a group of officials and government servants.

"I'll wait for you to see the princess."

Xiao Bi waved her hand: "You are welcome, gentlemen. I came here today to inquire about something important."
