"Don't worry, the prince is fine, but his girl was beaten badly."

"Water red?"

"Well! If I hadn't left the palace in time, I might have died a long time ago."

After Chuxue heard Mei Shijiu's words, she snorted and pinched her sleeves, "A palace maid, in the eyes of those nobles, is as lifeless as an ant. Have you given the medicine to the prince?"

"Here you go, hope it's useful."

In the palace, who would take the life of a maid seriously?

"That's not right, senior brother, have you really met the prince?"

Are there so few cell guards in these three divisions?

Chu Xue didn't react at first.

Mei Shijiu looked at him with a smile, Chu Xue raised her eyebrows, and knew better as she turned her eyes.

"What's the point of deliberately letting people go to visit the prince?"

"It's too cold to live in high places. Even for his own son, His Majesty may not be at ease. In just six months, the prince has gone from being an unknown prince to now being in charge of the Ministry of Industry. Although he cannot be compared with Prince Su, Prince Yue and others, he has also caused a stir.

His Majesty's plan, and the fact that I have gotten too close to him after entering the imperial court, make His Majesty feel unsure, so he has to find out more about it before he can feel at ease."

It is normal for the princes to stare at the throne and calculate the throne. However, these princes must be under the control of the Holy One. If someone is beyond the control and the Holy One cannot understand it, the Holy One will be uneasy.

"Yes!" Chuxue followed with a smile, but the smile was a little cold.

She has known people's warmth since she was a child, and she also knows people's coldness, so she doesn't feel much about it.

"Senior brother, what do you think...how will he choose?"

The person Chu Xue refers to is the Holy One, so Mei Shijiu has no answer to this question.

"Senior brother, how about we make a bet?"

Mei Shijiu looked at Chu Xue sitting next to him, "What kind of bet is this?"

"Bet on whether he will let the prince be charged with stealing my mother's dowry."

Mei Shijiu looked at Chu Xue silently. He was her biological father in her mouth. Could he really be as calm and gentle as she said and not care at all in her heart?

Mei Shijiu sighed secretly, "What are you betting on?"

"I bet he will! After all, back then, even if he knew my mother was wronged, he could kill her, let alone a prince he had never cared about since he was a child. He had too many children, and he would not care too much if he sacrificed one of them.

.”

Let’s just say that it’s impossible to be really calm and calm, but after all, it still has a bit of aura.

"This time, it's really hard to say. If the Holy One really intends to make the prince bear this crime, he must do it vigorously and resolutely. He will never drag it to the Third Division. Entering the Third Division means it will be made public, and the dowry of the Jade Concubine will have to be

File a case, and once you file a case, investigate..."

Chuxue looked at Mei Shijiu quietly, "Then let's make a bet. If senior brother wins, I will do something for him. No matter what it is, as long as I can do it, if I win, senior brother will also do something for me.

How's it going?"

Mei Shijiu felt helpless, smiled fondly and nodded, "Okay, it's up to you!"

She knew very well that no matter what she said, as long as she opened her mouth, he would do his best.

"By the way, don't worry about the Third Division. After so many years in the imperial court, the Mei family still has some connections." Mei Shijiu had said it plainly enough.

Let Chuxue rest assured that Feng Ziyue will be fine in Sansi.

Chuxue smiled slightly, keeping everything in mind. Her bond with Feng Ziyue was not because of the meager so-called blood relationship, but because of the fate between Feng Ziyue and her mother, and they got along.

For so long, people always have feelings. The more Fengzi treats her as a sister, how can she not feel it?

"Brother, it's getting late. I'm afraid your family is also worried. Go back first and we'll see what happens." As long as nothing goes wrong in Sansi, the outcome of the King of Yue will be nothing. Because he has confidence in his heart, Chuxue is not so worried at this time.

Anxious.

Why does this girl always chase him away...

Mei Shijiu looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting late. He had planned to go back.

"Then I'll go back first. If you need anything, I'll be called upon."

"Well!" Chuxue stood up to see her off. At the end of the day, she was also a little tired.

When he was sent to the door, Mei Shijiu suddenly remembered something and asked Aqing to take out the invitation he had prepared in advance, "It will be my grandmother's birthday in two days. I will come to the house to sit there. I know you don't like this kind of excitement, but my grandmother

I’ve talked about you a few times…”

Mei Shijiu had his own little thoughts.

Chuxue took the invitation, smiled at the other party and said, "How can a businessman not like the excitement?"

"Okay, Shi Jiu will be waiting for you in person."

"you are welcome!"

The two laughed and joked for a while, and then Mei Shijiu got into the carriage.

"It seems that you will stay in the capital for a longer time this time."

Dong Li did not participate in their conversation just now, but was directly thinking about the chess game in the study.

After sending Mei Shijiu away, Chuxue came over.

"Yes, it happened suddenly. Dad Li, if something happens to you, just go back to the villa first. After all, this capital is not as quiet and comfortable as the villa."

Dong Li smiled and waved to Chu Xue, gesturing for her to sit down opposite.

"Come, accompany me to finish this game. This is the endgame. Mr. Baizi. The game is now evenly matched. You choose the stone."

Seeing that Dongli was in such high spirits, Chuxue sat down and picked up Heizi as instructed.

"Then let's accompany Daddy Li to the next game."

"Girl, life is like a chess game. You have no regrets when you make a move. Every time you make a choice, there is no turning back. Sometimes it seems calm, but in fact it is full of dangers. Sometimes you see yourself in a desperate situation, but it is possible to turn the situation around in one move. So, no matter what situation you are in, you will always be there.

Remember to look at the overall situation. Girl, since you don't want to get involved in the royal family's affairs, after this incident, concentrate on the hustle and bustle in the courtyard to avoid getting involved and it will be difficult to get out. You still don't know the royal family well enough. Once your identity is exposed

, regardless of whether there is real evidence or not, it is not up to you to have the final say at that time. Just imagine, the Holy Emperor or the Queen Mother wants to give you a princess status, can you escape? This is a gift. If you don't accept it, you are disobeying the decree. This in itself,

It has nothing to do with whether you are a real princess or not, girl, today I will talk to you about the imperial power."

Once she became a princess, she couldn't help herself, whether it was her marriage or the future, this status would become a constraint for her.

Chuxue Zhizi stared at the chessboard and listened carefully to Dongli's words. She knew that this was Dongli's pointer to her.

imperial power…

"...Xue girl, seeing you discussing business with others today, Father Li was deeply moved. In this world, if you want to surpass the imperial power, there is only one kind of person who can do it. A capable person. If you think about it carefully, Mei Shi is nine years old.

Is it really just because he was born in the Mei family that he can easily stand up in the court and hold a fifth-rank official position? There are countless children of the aristocratic family, and there are not many families that are comparable to the Mei family, but how many Mei Shijiu are there in the court today?"

"Chu Xue knows that senior brother is unusual. Whether it is knowledge, strategy, or means, he is incomparable. He is able to stand in the court not just because of the Mei family. He is what Father Li calls a capable person."

"Yes, Mei Shijiu's future will be more than this, and so will you, because you are also a capable person. No matter what field you are in, as long as you reach a certain height, you can escape the shackles of the imperial power, and even... surpass the imperial power."

Beyond imperial power?

Chuxue raised her head and stared at Dongli.

"Daddy Li, do you think too highly of me?"

She didn't dare to compare with Mei Shijiu. Although she didn't fully understand what Daddy Li said, she had a general idea.
