Ruihe looked at Qin Shuhuang with bright eyes, and said excitedly with a trembling voice: "Your Highness!"

After saying that, he knelt down and saluted Qin Shuhuang.

Fortunately for Song Yiqiu, before entering Xia Gong City, he quietly left the city to meet Qin Shuhuang.

But Ruihe had not seen Qin Shuhuang since Qin Shuhuang left the envoy team. Ruihe was worried when he thought that Qin Shuhuang, a weak woman, was going to Guangnan and southern Xinjiang and then back to Beidi.

Now that she saw with her own eyes that Qin Shuhuang was fine, she was truly relieved.

Qin Shuhuang smiled and stepped forward to help Ruihe up, "Okay, now we see you! Are you relieved?"

Ruihe nodded with wet eyes, looked up at Qin Shuhuang, and couldn't hold back his tears, "Your Highness, you have lost a lot of weight!"

"You can't lose weight when you are running back and forth, and you are the same. When we return to the capital, we will make up for it together."

Ruihe hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and nodded while crying and laughing.

"Is it going well for you to open a teahouse here?" Qin Shuhuang asked.

Ruihe nodded vigorously, "Your Highness, don't worry, everything is going well. The Cao family has not found anything wrong with us so far, but Xu Xinsong, the second son of the Xu family, has discovered us. This morning, Master Xu personally sent a letter Come."

With that said, Ruihe gave Qin Shuhuang the letter hidden in his sleeve.

Qin Shuhuang opened it and glanced at it. The letter was very brief and was written in the tone of Xu Xinsong, the young master of the Xu family, but the final seal was indeed the private seal of the third master Xu Zizhang.

The letter said that if she needed anything, she could just send someone to the teahouse directly, and the Xu family would never disrupt her arrangements.

Qin Shuhuang burned the letter after reading it and laughed. It seems that the younger generations of the Xu family have good character. "If the Xu family sends another letter, you and Song Yiqiu will send someone to tell me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qin Shuhuang didn't stay in Gong's room for too long and came out at the normal time.

No matter how wonderful the storyteller downstairs was, the Cao family's housekeeper didn't want to listen. He was relieved when Qin Shuhuang came back not long after.

We had dinner at a restaurant in Xiagong City at noon. After the meal, we looked at several other streets in Xiagong City and bought some silk cloth and some dried fruits. Before evening, Qin Shuhuang took people back to Cao's house.

On the way back to the Cao family, Qin Shuhuang asked the Cao family's housekeeper to tell General Cao that tomorrow, New Year's Eve, she would entertain the officials of Xia Gongcheng at the inn on behalf of the Dawu royal family.

As soon as he returned to Cao Mansion, the housekeeper did not dare to delay in asking to see General Cao and Mrs. Cao.

Mrs. Cao asked anxiously: "The eldest princess went out today. Which stores did she visit? Where did she go? Did you see the Xu family?"

The housekeeper took a breath and replied: "Back to the general and madam, the eldest princess went to some ordinary shops and bought some ordinary things. On the way, she had two cups of tea at the teahouse and had a meal at the Hongzhai at noon. The old slaves in these places They have all been checked and there are no problems. In today’s group, the eldest princess did not have any contact with anyone from the Xu family.”

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Mrs. Cao let out a long sigh of relief.

Cao Jian's face also looked much better.

It seems that the eldest princess has no plans secretly.

After all, this eldest princess grew up under the care of the royal family, so there is no need to be overly defensive.

Seeing the gentle expressions of the general and his wife, the housekeeper said in embarrassment: "But...but..."

Seeing his procrastination, General Cao wanted to kick him over, "But what! Say it quickly!"

Seeing that the general was angry, the housekeeper did not dare to delay, "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, will entertain Xia Gongcheng officials at the post station on behalf of the royal family tomorrow."

Cao Jian thought it was something, but it turned out to be just this.

He glared at the housekeeper and said, "The eldest princess is the eldest princess of the imperial court after all, and she also has the title of protector of the country. Now that she has arrived in Xia Gong City, she naturally wants to entertain and get to know her. It's not surprising."

"But when the time comes, the eldest princess will meet the Xu family... Wasn't the general and madam's previous obstruction in vain?"

Cao Jian smiled, what a waste, didn't the eldest princess make a deal with him?

Besides, as long as the eldest princess is in Xiagong City for one day, she may see the Xu family. Does he want to lock up the eldest princess?This is simply not realistic!

Since the eldest princess agreed to cooperate with him, it meant that the eldest princess no longer valued the Xu family so much.

But the regent in Beijing is still alive, so the regent still needs the Cao family.

Only with the presence of the Xu family can the Cao family have meaning in existence. Otherwise, if the Xu family is really gone, the Cao family will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Because of this, the Cao family did not kill the Xu family all at once.

Others really think that the Cao family really only has this ability!

The first move he made was just to confirm Qin Shuhuang's intentions. Now that it was confirmed, he was not too afraid of Qin Shuhuang meeting the Xu family.

Mrs. Cao also looked at her husband at this time, frowning, "General, what do you think?"

Cao Jian looked calm and said, "It is reasonable and a rule for His Highness to entertain guests. Since His Highness has this plan, we should help Him. The conditions of the post house are average. Since His Highness lives in our Cao family, our Cao family should help." Your Highness, you will bring dozens of people over today to help decorate the post house and prepare the banquet for tomorrow."

The housekeeper didn't expect the general to give such an order. It could be seen that the general looked relaxed. He was afraid that the general had already figured out a way to deal with it. He didn't ask any more questions and took the order to find someone to do the work.

After the housekeeper left, Cao Jian explained to his wife. The couple felt comfortable and drank tea instead of wine.

As soon as the two of them finished drinking tea, the old servant hurried in and reported, "General, General Liu has entered the city and is on his way to our Cao family."

Cao Jian raised his eyebrows, "We're finally here. Do as I told you before. In addition, the number of guards guarding the courtyard where the eldest princess lives will be doubled! Let the eldest princess's personal guards also go to the eldest princess's yard to protect her."

"Yes, general, I will inform you immediately."

The weather is good today. Although it is cold and windy, there is sunshine. Such sunny days are rare in Xiagong City.

In the evening, there is still a beautiful orange afterglow in the western sky.Before the city gate closed, General Liu's team entered Xiagong City.

There were not many people in the team, less than 20 people in total.

There was only one carriage in the entire team, and it was still dilapidated.

After entering Xiagong City, General Liu opened the carriage curtain and jumped on the back of a horse.

His face was covered with stubble, and he was dirty and messy because he hadn't showered for many days.

A pair of eyes were bloodshot and cold, making people feel terrifying just by looking at them.

The same goes for the other guards in the team. It feels like these people are not from the north, but crawled out of hell.

Inside the carriage, a black hand stretched out from the dirty fur.

The hand weakly pulled away the dirty fur, and a stained face was revealed. It was someone other than Gu Yufei.

Gu Yufei was a hundred times more embarrassed than when she was walking with Tisang before.

She huddled in the corner of the carriage, her body was dirty and smelly, her eyes were red, and she was trembling all over.

She used to be very concerned about a few small spots of frostbite on her hands, but now her hands and feet are swollen like steamed buns due to frostbite, and she doesn't care at all.

It's like those chilblains don't exist.

Because along the way, she experienced things that were a hundred times more terrifying than frostbite.

Ever since General Liu caught up with her convoy, Gu Yufei had completely lost her good life.

Her convoy was originally low on supplies, but with the sudden addition of General Liu and his entourage, the food that had been saved was emptied out within a few days.

At that time, there was another snowstorm. The people in the convoy could not find a place to stay and they had no food.

After carrying it for a few days, suddenly one day, the maid next to her brought her a piece of barbecue.

She was surprised for a long time. The dried meat in the convoy had long been eaten. Where did the meat come from? In winter, the prey is cunning and harder to kill, so it should not be game.

She didn't think much about it, thinking that General Liu would have some good ideas if he was capable.

But after a few days, he found that there seemed to be a few fewer people in the team...

One day, the maid who was dedicated to serving her also disappeared...

She looked at the meat in front of her and retched.

If she didn't come to Xiagong City again, Gu Yufei was afraid that one day she would suddenly disappear, leaving only a pile of bones behind her ears.

Fortunately, the blizzard stopped and they finally arrived at Xiagong City.

When they arrived at the gate of the Cao family, the Cao family who came to greet them couldn't help but take a step back when they saw General Liu and his party.

No matter how well the disgust in his eyes was hidden, it was still noticed by General Liu.

He sneered and was led by the housekeeper to the guest room to rest.

Gu Yufei quietly opened the carriage curtain in the carriage and saw the luxuriously dressed Cao family.

Originally, she wanted to follow General Liu to negotiate with the Cao family, but in her current state, she had no face to see anyone.

When he arrived at the guest house, General Liu was taken by the housekeeper to freshen up.

The same goes for Gu Yufei.

There were two older maids waiting on her to wash herself.

The two maids had to change the hot water four times before washing Gu Yufei clean!

The first two times the water was brought out it was black.

When Gu Yufei was being groomed, she saw the disgusted looks in the two maids' eyes, and she couldn't help but feel cold in her eyes.

Because she didn't know Gu Yufei's identity, the maid prepared an ordinary women's winter coat and two silver hairpins for her.

This outfit is similar to that of an ordinary maid in the Cao Mansion.

Along the way, Gu Yufei accumulated a lot of depression and anger.

I just saw what the masters of the Cao family were wearing, and when I looked at the "rags and rags" I was wearing, I felt increasingly unbalanced.

After all, she is also General Liu’s woman now!
General Liu is the right-hand man of the regent!

Is this what these people did to her?

After putting on her clothes and applying medicine to her hands and feet, Gu Yufei overturned the tray with two silver hairpins. The two serving maids were startled and quickly lowered their heads.

"Bring me some new clothes and jewelry! These rags are trying to fool me too!"

The two maids lowered their heads and looked at each other, said "yes", and went out to find the housekeeper.

It didn't take long for the news to reach Mrs. Cao's ears.

Mrs. Cao was letting her maid take off the delicate hairpin on her head. When she heard this, she said "Hey" and asked, "Who is that woman? What is her identity?"

A confidant said: "She is the woman that General Liu brought with him, but General Liu did not ask to take care of her. When I was washing, you didn't know that she was all smelly, and she was not as clean as the men around General Liu! Also, The old slave has inquired and found out that this woman is the daughter of the Gu family and the former sister-in-law of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. This sister-in-law used to learn from the Eldest Princess..." (End of Chapter)
