While Zhao Yu was probing Zhu Ying's details, Zhu Ying's three personal maids in Cuihua Garden of Prince Chun's Mansion also began to become restless.
The night was already dark, but the young lady who was supposed to return to the palace had not yet returned, which made these girls extremely anxious.
Nongzhu rubbed his hands and walked back and forth in the yard, his eyes constantly looking at a dog hole in the west corner. It was a secret passage for them to enter and exit the palace without being noticed.
Qinglian was the exact opposite of Nongzhu. She was more like a gentle and noble lady from an official family. She was anxious but still maintained her proper demeanor. She sat on a chair and stretched her neck to look in the same direction.
Shuang Ju was the most careful and cautious among the four. She said quietly: "Young lady has always given instructions when doing things. If there is a difficult patient who cannot be rushed back, she will definitely ask Su Lan to come back to make sure she is safe. But now there is no trace, I guess."
Something happened."
Nongzhu suddenly appeared in front of her and said, "I'll go out and take a look!"
Shuangju said cautiously: "If it is an ordinary trivial matter that cannot hold the lady back, this matter may be unusual. We should follow the old rules and go to Xiankeju. If there is a safety buckle on the door, the lady will naturally be able to handle it. We
Just wait in the house with peace of mind; if it were Xiaomu Jian, he would save the young lady even if he risked his life."
"Okay," Nongzhu agreed first, "if there was no lady, there would be no Nongzhu. I will go to Xiankeju now."
The four maids were all orphans abandoned by their parents. Seeing that they were about to starve to death on the streets, Zhu Ying's mother, Mrs. Gao, took them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked them to serve the young ladies, so that they had a place to stay. Later, Zhu Ying found a place to stay.
Ying worshiped the God of Medicine as her teacher and took them with her. The young lady never regarded them as servants. She asked them to read and write with her, study medicine together, and practice martial arts together. They were no longer relatives more than relatives.
.
Frost Jury called to Nongzhu.
"Go and change into men's clothes. The girl's going out on the street at such a late hour will arouse suspicion."
Nongzhu immediately went back to the house, and after a while she changed her clothes and walked out. She didn't like to wear women's clothes. Women's clothes were wide and bulky, making it inconvenient to move around. She was dressed like a servant, and she
They are used to acting rudely, and at first glance, I really can't tell the difference between male and female.
When Nongzhu went back to his room to change clothes, Shuangju took out a pot of osmanthus wine from the kitchen and spilled the wine on Nongzhu.
Nongzhu asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"Be careful with the Wannian Ship!"
Nongzhu gave a thumbs up to praise Frost Ju's carefulness.
After everything was arranged, Nongzhu got out of the dog hole.
Although there was no curfew in Biancheng, few people walked around at night. Nongzhu pretended to be drunk and walked crookedly on the street, and from time to time uttered a few dirty words about drunkards.
When she arrived at the door of Xianjuke, she stumbled and fell at the door. She raised her eyes and looked at the door. When she saw the safety buckle hanging on the door, she felt relieved.
At this time, she heard some slight noises on the roof. She didn't dare to stay, so she got up, spit out thick phlegm, and left cursing.
Back at the palace, Nongzhu told the two sisters about the situation.
"Xiankeju is under surveillance, but the lady is safe!"
The two maids were very happy after hearing this. They clasped their hands and thanked God. Frost Juice made a decision.
"Let's not act rashly for the time being and wait for the next instruction from the lady."
All the sisters nodded in agreement.
The Xu family is very thin, except for Xu Mubai, only Mrs. Xu is left. Mrs. Xu has been living in the Buddhist hall to worship Buddha since Mr. Xu passed away, and eats fast all year round, so only Xu Mubai and Zhu Ying are left at the dinner table.
Normally, Zhu Ying and the four maids eat without distinction between each other. This time, Su Lan had to stand aside and wait on someone else's territory.
The food was cooked by Su Lan. She has first-class cooking skills. The simple four dishes and one soup were delicious, delicious and delicious. Xu Mubai praised her repeatedly and wiped away most of the unhappiness she had just felt.
Zhu Ying ate little and frequently asked Xu Mubai to drink.
Xu Mubai didn't want to drink so much. He was still thinking about Chen Xiaoyue on the hospital bed, but he couldn't resist Zhu Ying using his identity as a junior uncle to suppress him. He couldn't help but drink one cup after another, and soon he was seventy or eighty percent drunk. Zhu Ying revealed
With a proud smile, he started talking.
Although the master has prepared a way out for her, she still hopes to get a divorce certificate so that she can be upright, marry the person she wants to marry, and return to Biancheng upright. Although her father doesn't like it.
But she also has a younger brother, who is of the same blood as hers. She doesn't want her problems to affect her younger brother. He can be angry with her because of her father's mistakes, and he can also be angry with her own brother because of her things.
, so she still hopes to have a good time with him. To achieve this goal, it would be good to get more information about Zhao Yu. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger.
She asked in a coaxing way: "Master Nephew Xu, who was that girl during the day?"
Asking directly about Zhao Yu felt too straightforward, so she adopted a roundabout policy.
"The girl in the daytime, is she Xiaoyue?" Xu Mubai's tongue was a little too big. He looked straight ahead as if recalling something, and tears filled his eyes.
Suddenly he slammed the table hard and said: "I'm useless, I'm really useless, I can't protect her, I'm not a man."
The self-blame was so deep that Zhu Ying looked down upon her nephew. She didn't like weak men.
"Since you are unwilling to take her back, a girl should not live such a life of fighting and killing. The Fourteenth Prince is not suitable for her." Zhu Ying added jealously, inciting Xu Mubai's emotions, which only made the emotions more intense.
If he is high, he will reveal more information unconsciously.
"Yes," Xu Mubai stood up unsteadily, "He promised me to take good care of Xiaoyue, but he asked her to join some kind of shadow group. She is a girl, and her hands are used for embroidery. How can she let her
Why did she kill people with a sword? I shouldn't have let her go in the first place. I failed to protect her. I'm sorry for Old General Chen Chong."
Zhu Ying and Su Lan looked at each other. It turned out that the girl was the granddaughter of General Chen Chong. General Chen Chong was urgently recalled by the emperor, and then he was labeled as a collaborator and traitor. Within a few days, he was sentenced to execution by the whole family. It turned out that he
His granddaughter was rescued by Xu Mubai and Zhao Yu. It is no wonder that Zhao Yu came to the Xu family in times of crisis. He made no secret of his anger towards Xu Mubai. It turned out that the two were love rivals.
Zhu Ying took advantage of the victory and asked: "Do you know why the Fourteenth Prince returned to Beijing this time?"
"Who knows!" Xu Mubai burped, "He is a nasty person, he..."
Xu Mubai's legs went weak and he sat down on the chair, then lay on the table and stopped moving.
"Hey - hey -" Zhu Ying pushed him, and Xu Mubai shook his body and didn't move again.
"It's useless!" Zhu Ying was so angry that she picked up the remaining wine in the glass and drank it all.
"Why don't you ask me?" A sinister voice came from the door. Zhao Yu stood outside the door at some point, looking at Zhu Ying like two sharp knives.
Zhu Ying was startled and choked on the wine. She coughed desperately for a while before she calmed down. She stood up and pretended to be calm and said: "It's been a busy day today and I'm tired. Su Lan, let's go back to the room to rest."
.”
Su Lan quickly stood beside the young lady and put her whole body on guard.
Zhao Yu did not embarrass them and stepped out of the way. Zhu Ying and Su Lan quickly ran away. Zhao Yu withdrew his eyes from Zhu Ying and looked at Xu Mubai, saying: "Useless guy!"
Then he walked slowly towards the west wing.
He looked at the night sky. The night was getting darker, the moonlight was like washing, and everything in the world was covered with a layer of silvery white. The shining silvery white in his eyes was like the white snow capped by Canglong Snow Mountain.
At this time, there was a faint sound of crying in the wing room, and Zhao Yu quickly walked into the room with a frown.
Under the moonlight, on the bed, Chen Xiaoyue twisted her delicate body uneasily, and her crystal tears fell one after another on the pillow.
Zhao Yu sat down by the bed and gently held her hand like he did when he was a child and coaxed in her ear: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother Yu is here, brother Yu is here."
Chen Xiaoyue slowly calmed down, and her delicate jade hands clasped his big palm.
Zhao Yu stretched out his other hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face. A smile gradually appeared on Chen Xiaoyue's pretty face. He looked at her with a comforting smile on his face.
He gently stroked the calluses on her lips and palms, which were the calluses from years of sword practice. Xu Mubai's accusation when he was drunk came to his mind: "She is a girl, and her hands are used for embroidery. How can she kill people with a sword?"
He murmured to himself: "Did I make a mistake?"
No one answered him, only the deserted silence echoed in the night. He recalled everything he had experienced when he first met General Chen Chong...
Without General Chen Chong, he would not be what he is today. It was General Chen Chong who gave him a chance to be reborn. It was General Chen Chong who made him see clearly who his enemy was. It was General Chen Chong who gave him the sharp sword that can avenge his enemies.
The first time he saw General Chen Chong was in the military fortress on Canglong Snow Mountain. He saw an old man who was nearly 70 years old with still bright eyes, a tall and strong body, and a voice like a bell.
At that time, although he was young, he had the arrogance of a royal family. He faced those sharp eyes without fear. Only his father in the world could make him surrender. Unfortunately, his father passed away.
His death was so sudden, and his world collapsed with it...
The old general laughed and said: "Okay, very good, you have the style of the late king."
Then, in a few steps, he came to him, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
That was the first time he felt death, but he didn't want to die. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the big thick hands and tried to open them, but the hands didn't move at all.
He will not bow to death, he wants to live. He always feels that there is something fishy about his father's death, and he wants to find out the truth.
The old general just carried him to the city wall and hung him outside the city wall. There was a blanket of white snow under the city wall that was several feet high.
He still remembered that his voice echoed in his ears for a long time like the trumpet of death.
"Boy, I don't want to kill you, but the emperor's orders are hard to come by. Whether you live or die depends on your fate."
After saying that, he let go of his hand, and he fell straight down. However, when he fell hard, he was blocked by the military flag and did not hit the rock directly. Instead, he fell into the soft snowdrift.
He climbed up from the snowdrift in embarrassment, raised his head and looked at the old general on the city wall. The old general's eyes were dancing with fire, and he asked: "Do you want to live?"
"Yes!" he replied firmly.
"Okay! From now on, you will follow me and control your own destiny."
It was General Chen Chong who protected him. He owed General Chen Chong so much and the Chen family so much. The only thing he could do now was to take good care of Xiaoyue and leave the only bloodline for the Chen family.
