The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 241 Situation

A few clappers sounded, almost at the same time, the little bird in the chiming bell on the table also jumped out very amusingly, making a few crisp calls.

Unknowingly, the time has come to midnight.

Xie Xi felt that today's time passed very quickly.

Since the two got the marriage gift from the emperor, the relationship between him and Lin Zisu can be said to have become more and more harmonious.During the few days when Lin Zisu was in the palace, the two often walked together.

Even the servants in the palace knew that the usually lawless King Dun was going to marry the eldest lady of the Kangningbo mansion in the near future.

It has been only five months since the two met for the first time.Xie Xi could tell that although Lin Zisu was very close to him in the past, he was always polite.

Tonight, the meaning of nostalgia is extremely obvious.

Xie Xi's heart is hot, but he also knows that he can't stay any longer. In the early morning, he will bid farewell to the capital and go to another unknown place.

"Fourth brother."

When Xie Xi turned to leave, Lin Zisu stopped him suddenly.

Meeting Xie Xi's surprised and eager eyes, Lin Zisu's face was a little hot, he hesitated for a while, and still spoke his mind.

"The disaster in Guanzhong is extraordinary."

Although Lin Zisu didn't know the situation in Guanzhong, judging from her previous life, there must be chaos there.
"Be careful, I'm waiting for you to come back in the capital."

Lin Zisu said this plainly, but it sounded special to Xie Xi.

He already had this picture in his mind, a husband who was about to leave for a long time, listening to his wife's advice, and before leaving, the two confided their hearts to each other.

After a few years, he and her girl will get married and have children together. This kind of scene should not be uncommon.

Xie Xi stopped for a short while, turned around and smiled at Lin Zisu, and said, "Susu, don't worry, I will be back in half a month at the earliest, or a month at the latest."

Lin Zisu leaned in front of the window, watching Xie Xi's figure disappear into the night, her thoughts drifted to the place that runs through her memories of two lifetimes.

Guanzhong……

Guanzhong is the barrier of most of the land in the west of Dayan. If there is chaos in Guanzhong, you can go south to take Jiannan, or you can send troops to Hezhong to take the Central Plains.

It seems that the emperor also knew the importance of Guanzhong to Dayan, so he did not hesitate to send Xie Xi there to find out the situation there.

It's just that Guanzhong is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it will take ten days at the fastest to go back and forth. Even if Xie Xi went there in a hurry, it will take at least ten days before the news comes back.

Lin Zisu originally thought that when banditry from Guanzhong spread to the capital, there would be panic among the people.

However, she guessed wrong this time. When she went out on the street with the girl Lve Ying, she could no longer hear the discussion about Guan Zhong.

The people in the capital obviously didn't know the importance of Guanzhong to Dayan, that is, they panicked for a day or two when they heard about the bandit disturbance, and seeing that there was no movement from the court, they all forgot about it.

In the past few days, what the common people discussed most was naturally the court's treatment of King Wei.

Unlike the indecision in the past, this time the emperor acted vigorously and resolutely.

Not only did the court announce Xie Yan's crimes, but he first sealed the palace of King Wei, and then announced that he would be deprived of the title of King Wei, and sent him to Nankang to guard the mausoleum of the Taizu.

This is not over yet, Xie Yan, the son of the former King of Wei, suddenly fell ill in the imperial prison after announcing the decree.

Although Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites subsequently announced that Xie Yan's cause of death was committing suicide in fear of crime, in the eyes of the common people, it was naturally the emperor's ruthless hand.

If Xie Yan committed suicide, he would have died long ago, so why wait until today?
However, whether it was the emperor's ruthless hand or not, the common people still liked to hear about the fall of Prince Wei's mansion.

Why do ordinary people work hard for more than a dozen lives, but they can't live a life of being a master, while these high-ranking officials eat hot and spicy food, not only eat delicacies from mountains and seas, but also have countless lands and women.

They deserve something to happen, it's best if they all die!
Lin Zisu didn't go out today for anything else. When she was reading in the palace a few days ago, she saw a recipe for spices in the book, and immediately wrote it down. Today, she went out to buy spices.

She and Lve Ying walked across a street and entered a shop called "Li's Colored Sandalwood Picking Incense Shop".

Last time, Lin Zisu went to several shops to buy spices, and finally bought what she wanted here.

There are a wide variety of spices in this shop, and some are from the Western Regions.

Lin Zisu picked out more than a dozen spices, and as soon as she walked out of the shop, she saw a few people surrounded by the silk and satin door diagonally opposite, making a lot of noise.

"Shopkeeper Huang, this colorful cloud brocade was obviously ordered by my family, why did you sell it to someone else without authorization?"

A shrill female voice came out from the shop, with some dismay.

"Mrs. Liu, we agreed at the time that you paid the deposit, and the store went to Jiangnan to purchase goods. Later, you couldn't wait, so you went to another house to have a look, and the store also returned the deposit to you. At that time, many regular customers Being present, you will not deny your account, will you?"

Although the voice was gentle, it also had a bit of edge, and Mrs. Liu who asked was a little annoyed.

That Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment, and then the voice suddenly came out: "Okay, okay, isn't your store bullying customers? Bullying my face, isn't it? Let me tell you, our master is in the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies Doing things, if it delays my girl's next month's draft, hehe, your store will be closed soon!"

Those who can open a silk and satin shop in such a place must have a background behind them, and this silk and satin shop is no exception.Mrs. Liu threatened a few words, but the shopkeeper remained unmoved.

Madam Liu saw that it was useless to mention her master's name, so she immediately said: "Today I will spend with you, if I can't get the colorful brocade, I will go to the street to spread virtue for you!"

As soon as the words were finished, Lin Zisu saw a lady in her 40s rushing out of the silk and satin village angrily.

The woman with thick eyebrows and narrow eyes stood still outside the silk and satin shop, and immediately started yelling and cursing.

This noise directly alarmed the surrounding neighbors, and customers from several nearby stores also came out to watch the excitement.

This silk and satin shop was in trouble, and there were often people who provoked trouble, so the shopkeeper and the staff didn't pay attention to it at first.

Unexpectedly, that Mrs. Liu became more and more relentless, standing at the door and yelling, and there were some foul language in the scolding voice.

The big customers of the silk and satin shop are all the wives and daughters of well-known families, who have rarely heard the gossip of the market, and all of them are flushed with shame.

There were more and more people meeting, and the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop couldn't sit still any longer, leading a few guys out together.

The shopkeeper Huang walked up to Mrs. Liu with a gloomy face, and said, "Mrs. Liu, I respect you as the wife of the official family, so you have been patient. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame us for being rude!"
