Chu Junlan smiled beside his lips, and when he met Xiao Xu's eyes, his eyebrows and eyes showed a bright smile: "Yes. Have you been here these days?"

Xiao Xu looked at her smiling face with cold eyes, his eyebrows and eyes couldn't help but soften, nodded slightly, and a low voice "Oh" sounded.

Chu Junlan carefully placed the small flower pot on the table. With the slight sound of the porcelain and the tabletop, Xiao Xu seemed to have come back from a fog.

"This is?"

"Oh, this is the Blood Jade Beetle, the 'Discussion' given to me by the Old Clan Xiao."

"Discussion?" Xiao Xu was surprised, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Yes," Chu Junlan smiled cheerfully, "It's really a matter of searching for something that I have to spend a little time. Fortunately, I finally found the medicine and my elder brother's eyes are saved."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xu suddenly came back to his senses and said with a serious expression: "Brother Ling was invited by Xiao Chengye."

Chu Junlan was stunned and suddenly turned cold: "'Please' go? They are afraid they have used tough measures!"

"No, my people saw it with their own eyes, so my brother did not resist."

Chu Junlan pursed his lips, contemplated for a moment with a serious expression, and immediately guessed Chu Huating’s thoughts.

"Why... so stupid."

Chu Junlan knew that Chu Huating was under great pressure during this period, and he showed a self-blame mentality more than once. She was confident that she could solve the difficulties, but she forgot that Chu Huating had no idea at all.

In Chu Huating's eyes, she was just a weak woman after all. How could he be willing to be protected by a woman in times of crisis? He is her eldest brother, and she is also his only sister.

She broke the legs of more than 20 people from the royal family. It was a big deal for anyone to see. The eldest brother wanted to sacrifice himself to protect her, which was the only way he could think of.

Chu Junlan's eyes were a little sour, she closed her eyes and suppressed her tears.

Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan's red water eyes, his hand hidden in his sleeve clenched his fists, and comforted him gently, "Don't worry."

Chu Junlan looked up at Xiao Xu, and Xiao Xu's figure appeared in his eyes: "No matter what, thank you these days."

"Nothing happened." Xiao Xu's eyebrows and eyes were gentle.

Jing Yu, who was standing beside him, was anxious to see.

The prince obviously paid so much, but when he saw Chu Junlan refused to say a word, how could this be the case?

Jing Yu said angrily: "Our prince has ordered people to put pressure on Xiao Chengye, and plans to discuss it in person later to strive to raise this matter to the level of the General's Mansion of the Supplementary State and the Prince Gongding Mansion. Our prince has done his best for your affairs. He has spent so many days on this matter. I don't know how to explain to the prince. After Mr. Chu goes like this, the prince will not be able to do more in the imperial village, and he is even more afraid that Mr. Chu will find a short-sighted view..."

Jing Yu's complaint gradually faded under Xiao Xu's unhappy gaze, and he lowered his head and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

What did the prince eat? He is alone and he will be irrational when he encounters Chu Junlan! Who can suppress such a woman? If you marry her, will you not be able to make a fuss?

Chu Junlan naturally knew Xiao Xu's efforts, and was moved, so he could not make him embarrassed in front of his subordinates.

She patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder: "I have recorded the prince's kindness, and I will definitely repay you well in the future. I have a way to do this. Prince should not go to Xiao Chengye."

She acted casually and naturally, as if she treated her good buddies. Her words "remembered the kindness" and "repay the future" seemed to be poured with cold water on Xiao Xu.

Of course he would not forget that there was a cooperation agreement between them.

So, in Chu Junlan's eyes, everything he did was the care of his partners?

Recognizing this, Xiao Xu felt empty. He looked at Chu Junlan and stopped talking a few times, but in the end he only pursed his thin lips and lowered his eyebrows.

"You can help me watch the bloody jade berry, and lend me a fast horse."

Xiao Xu nodded and raised his hand to signal Jing Yu.

Jing Yu soon brought a red horse.

Chu Junlan smiled at Xiao Xu, then quickly walked out and flew onto the horse. Xiao Xu chased after him for two steps, and wanted to say something, the horse was already far away quickly.

Jing Yu looked at the silent face of her prince, and finally sighed lightly, swallowing the words she had not said.

Chu Junlan lowered his body and leaned over the horse, waved his whip and urged the horse to move quickly, rushed back to the city as quickly as possible, and headed straight for Cao Qin's house in the outer city.

The streets in the early morning were very quiet, and the sound of horse hooves blinked past, leaving only the passing figures of the pedestrians flashing.

Cao Mansion.

Before Cao Qin got up, he heard someone whispering outside. He had been serving the palace for many years, and was very skilled in martial arts and deep internal strength, so he was naturally not weak in ears. Even if people outside lowered their voices, they could hear the content clearly.

"Miss Chu's third lady is asking for a meeting? But the ancestor hasn't gotten up yet, so let Miss Chu's third lady wait for a moment."

"Miss Chu San said there was something urgent."

...

Cao Qin opened his eyes and said lazily: "Come."

There was a silence outside. With a creaking sound, the two maids bowed their knees and rushed forward to serve Cao Qin quickly and wash.

In the front hall, Chu Junlan sat sideways in the guest seat, looking at the furnishings in the house calmly.

Although Cao Qin's house outside the palace is not big, it has a unique world. The rare flowers and trees in the house are arranged in an orderly manner, and the furnishings are elegant everywhere. At first glance, it looks like a quiet academy, not like a house outside the palace.

Chu Junlan was admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall when he heard the sound of the bead curtain, wearing a tea-golden outerwear dress, in a spirited and loving manner, Cao Qin walked slowly with his followers.

Chu Junlan stood up and bowed with a smile: "I have seen Eunuch Cao. I came to disturb you rashly, which is really rude."

"If there is any place, Miss Chu, please sit down and have good tea."

Cao Qin sat down at the first place and signaled his servants to serve tea.

The maids all tactfully retreated after serving tea.

Cao Qin picked up the blue and white carp playful lotus bowl and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu is here, but what's the urgent matter?"

Chu Junlan smiled, "It's not an urgent matter. I haven't seen you for many days. When I learned that you were living in the mansion, I thought about visiting you and sending you something."

"Oh?" Cao Qin raised his eyebrows, "What good thing is that Miss Chu who needs to come to deliver it in person?"

Chu Junlan smiled and stood up, took out a thin book from his arms, walked forward slowly, and presented it with both hands.

Cao Qin hesitated for a moment, and after observing his expression, he confirmed that Chu Junlan's expression was exactly the same, so he took the booklet.

When I saw the four big characters "Qi Family Secret Records" above, my pupils suddenly shrank.

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Last time I heard you talk about the 72 Zhang Qifang scattered in the world in "The Secret Record of Qi", and I was already worried. I happened to have this fragment by chance. With my humble identity, how could I deserve it? After thinking about it, it is best to give it to my father-in-law."
