Chapter 31 My Life
The days are back in the past.
Qionghua is still locked in the North Cave and is not allowed to come out, and Cui Hengyue must complete her work on time before she can go to the dining hall with everyone.
At lunch that day, Runzhu poked the vegetarian dishes in the bowl with chopsticks and complained to Song Zhuoxing: "Sanlang, it's all your fault. I didn't know it clearly before coming in. Now, we will never be able to leave the Nan Palace for the rest of our lives.
"I have to help them with work every day to have food. The most hateful thing is that I eat vegetarian dishes every meal and I can't see a trace of meat.
"What's the point of living in such a day..."
Song Zhuoxing was upset when he heard this and grabbed Runzhu's vegetable bowl: "If you don't eat it, just shut your mouth."
"No, this is mine." Runzhu grabbed the vegetable bowl, quickly picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth.
He took a second bite before he finished his bite, and his voracious look was as if his movements were slower and the dishes would be snatched away by Song Zhuoxing.
Song Zhuoxing laughed silently and started eating.
"Sanlang, you are forgetting your meaning when you see the color."
When he saw Song Zhuoxing's elegant and calm appearance, Runzhu felt angry and couldn't help but accuse Song Zhuoxing.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhuoxing paused and explained in a low voice: "Don't forget the purpose of our visit to Northern Han. We were going to stay in Yunxuan Temple..."
"Dong!"
Suddenly, the sound of smashing the table came from beside him, and Song Zhuoxing looked to the left.
Su Biwen smashed the bowl heavily on the table, stood up and pointed at Cui Hengyue opposite him and asked, "Why is her food different from ours?"
This sentence attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, there is more than one piece of meat in her bowl." Luo Sanniang was close to see Cui Hengyue's food clearly.
Li Bier stretched her neck and glanced at her, and said slightly and seriously: "There is also milk soup."
As soon as these words were spoken, the kitchen hall suddenly became boiling.
"Deputy Commander Chen, why should the little madman have meat to eat and milk soup?"
"Since she has it, why don't we have it? We are not convinced."
"That's right, if you can't give us a reasonable explanation today, we will make trouble in front of the King of Chu and ask clearly..."
The woman just accused her indignantly, while the men opposite her were angry and almost threw up the table and smashed the bowl.
"Shut up all of them."
The morning light roared, and everyone gradually calmed down, but the anger on their faces had not yet faded.
"Ahem..."
Chen Guang clasped his fist and cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I have said before that if you want to eat meat, you should exchange it for gold.
"The reason why Miss Cui had meat and milk soup was because she gave gold..."
"I didn't give them gold." Cui Hengyue interrupted Chen Guang's words in a faint tone.
Morning: "..."
Is this stinky girl really a human being? I don’t know how to go with the flow and do something that benefits others?
If it weren't for the orders from the superiors, he wouldn't have prepared meat and milk soup for her.
Chen Guang was so angry that he bent down, supported his hands on the table, approached Cui Hengyue, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Stupid girl, eat as soon as possible if you eat, don't talk too much."
"Why don't you tell everyone the truth? These are the rewards I will help you find the murderer?" Cui Hengyue asked curiously with innocent eyes open.
Can he say it?
Of course, I can't, and the superiors don't let him say it.
Chen Guang glared back: "Anyway, whatever I say is what I say, don't talk too much, just do as you do."
snort!
Cui Hengyue snorted silently and looked at her disdain.
At this time, Su Biwen shouted: "Deputy Captain Chen, what are you talking about with the little madman?"
Chen Guang straightened his body and looked at Su Biwen coldly: "What do I say to the little madman? Do you still have to report it to you?"
"Of course not, but the little madman said just now that she didn't give you gold, so why would she have meat and milk soup? You must explain this in front of all of us."
Su Biwen's words were recognized by others, and they shouted: "That's right, you must give us an explanation now."
When everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Guang, a murderous intent attacked Cui Hengyue.
The dining hall was noisy, and there were morning light and guards blocking it in front of me. Cui Hengyue did not sense the danger, nor did she notice a leaf flying from the side with powerful force.
"Dong!"
A chopstick shot rapidly, nailing the leaves to the dining table, only three inches away from Cui Hengyue.
Cui Hengyue caught a glimpse of the leaves and chopsticks at her hand, and quickly got up. She first glanced at the crowd on the left, but found no abnormalities.
Then he looked in the direction where the chopsticks were flying, and found that except for Song Zhuoxing's hand, there were no fewer chopsticks.
A look of confusion appeared in her eyes. Will someone who plotted against her actually save her?
"What's going on?"
Chen Guang stared at the leaves and chopsticks on the dining table, his expression became solemn, and he raised his hand and waved it.
The guards rushed in and surrounded everyone.
Seeing the guards with a solemn face, everyone looked terrified and they were silent in an instant.
Su Biwen quickly glanced at Li Bier and looked away.
"Just having a meal, such a big situation is too scary."
Runzhu sighed while poking Song Zhuoxing with her elbow, but received no response. He turned his head and saw that Song Zhuoxing's expression was very solemn, and his eyes were patrolling the opposite side like an eagle.
What is the master looking for?
Runzhu looked opposite.
"Who did it?" Chen Guang pointed at the leaves and chopsticks and asked again.
"It's me."
Song Zhuoxing stood up and showed a sorry expression: "Deputy Commander Chen, I'm sorry, I just slid my hand and the chopsticks flew out."
"Slide your hand?" Chen Guang raised his eyebrows. Who can make the chopsticks fly two feet away?
Song Zhuoxing's face did not change: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
Chen Guang stared at Song Zhuoxing's pretending to be sorry for a while, but finally stopped asking.
"Okay, keep eating. After eating, hurry back to the room and don't wander around outside." Chen Guang finished speaking, and walked to the open space in the middle to monitor everyone.
Su Biwen was unwilling to give up and mentioned the old story again: "Deputy Commander Chen, you have not explained what happened just now to us."
"Yes, yes..." others agreed.
Chen Guang suddenly stretched out his face: "The little madman doesn't have money. Of course, her relatives gave her gold, otherwise how could we give her meat?
"You don't need to be envious. If you want to eat, let your relatives send gold. Then steam, boil, roast, bake, stew, soup... We will do whatever you want to eat, keep it so that you can eat it happily."
Everyone was silent.
Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Chen Guang's eyes and he ordered loudly: "In half a quarter of an hour, everyone must leave the dining hall."
When everyone heard this, they immediately put away their sad thoughts and accelerated their meal.
Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone returned to their rooms.
Song Zhuoxing called Runzhu in front of him and ordered him seriously: "From now on, you must stare at Miss Cui at all times. Once she is in danger, you must protect her and not let her be injured."
"Why?" Runzhu didn't understand very well.
"Someone was going to kill Miss Cui just now."
When Song Zhuoxing thought that if he had taken action slowly, Cui Hengyue would die on the spot, he was frightened.
Runzhu suddenly realized: "Oh, that leaf is the hidden weapon to kill Miss Cui. This man's martial arts skills are too high, right?"
After pausing, Runzhu sighed: "The South Palace is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon."
After thinking about it, Runzhu discovered another problem: "Hey, no, if this person is so powerful, then Miss Cui has lived in the South Palace for fifteen years and is still alive yet, which means that her martial arts skills are not weak."
Runzhu asked while looking for a chair to sit and advised: "Sanlang, you shouldn't be bored by yourself. Lady Cui doesn't need other people's protection at all."
"Stand for me."
Song Zhuoxing suddenly shouted loudly, Runzhu stood up with a "swish" and stood up straight.
"Let me know. From now on, your task is to protect Miss Cui. If she is injured under your nose, you don't have to come to see me."
Seeing that Song Zhuoxing said so seriously, Runzhu finally took it seriously: "Yes, I will protect Mrs. Cui."
Song Zhuoxing's anger was slightly relieved.
Runzhu took the opportunity to ask, "Sanlang, why are you so kind to Miss Cui?"
So good that he ignored his own safety and sent all the personal guards to protect her.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhuoxing's eyes became deeper and there was an indescribable light in his eyes: "Because, she is my life..."
