Chapter 24

"Hahaha!" Hongde Longqiu laughed. He suddenly jumped in front of the woman and grabbed her.

Meng Xinzhu did not resist. She knew that she was no match for this man, so he still led her to the big stone and let the moonlight shine on her face. Meng Xinzhu looked at the man in front of her. This was the first time she took a good look at this man.

What a masculine face. Obviously, the creator was particularly kind to its owner and gave him a face that would make women all over the world fall in love with him. Coupled with his own domineering king,

He was so handsome that he was helpless. Meng Xinzhu frowned. Maybe when she saw such a handsome guy before, she would get lustful and appreciate it, but now she felt that this face was the same as when she saw it for the first time.

Strange and evil.

Hongde Longqiu stared at this woman carefully. She looked so familiar. He once raised her chin to look at her like this. Her eyes were so dull and lifeless at that time. But now, it was those eyes that made him

He couldn't help but sigh at the haunting eyes, what kind of eyes they were that could bring such a soul-stirring effect to a face that was not particularly beautiful.

"Concubine Zhu looks really different now!" Hongde Longqiu resisted the urge to kiss her.

"Because I am not a bamboo concubine."

"Oh? What about Concubine Zhu?" Meng Xinzhu laughed, laughing very hard. Hong Delong Qiu raised his eyebrows. He didn't think this question was funny, "Why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at how a husband would ask someone where his wife is? Hahaha, this is really the funniest joke I've ever heard. Ouch, my stomach hurts from laughing!"

Hongde Longqiu gently held her neck and asked her to face him, with a smile on his face, "Did you kill her?"

Meng Xinzhu suddenly stopped laughing and frowned, "That's right, because after seeing me, she can leave with peace of mind."

Hongde Longqiu caught the trace of sadness in her eyes. He slowly released his hand holding her neck and glanced at her right leg, which had been unable to bear any force. "Are you injured?"

"You don't look like a smart king when you ask questions knowingly."

Hongde Longqiu was not angry, but smiled. He stretched out his hand. Xiao Zhao took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to him respectfully. He helped Meng Xinzhu to the side and sat down, lifted her right leg up,

Putting it on his lap, he started applying medicine to her.

"Well, it seems that the bones are not broken yet. This medicine is very effective and you should get better soon." He said and handed the medicine bottle to her.

Meng Xinzhu looked at him and said, "Thank you, no need. I can heal my injuries myself."

Hongde Longqiu continued to squat, "Where are you going to steal the medicine this time?"

"I'll tell you when I find chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns!"

"Hahaha!" Hongde Longqiu laughed for a long time before standing up, "I have swam in the water, Zhu Fei should go back with me."

Meng Xinzhu took a deep breath, "Since I left, I have never thought about going back," she met Hongde Longqiu's eyes, "Besides, I am not the Bamboo Concubine, so I will not go back to the birdcage!

"

Xiao Zhao looked at the emperor. Although he had no expression now, but based on so many years of driving experience, Xiao Zhao knew that the emperor was angry now. This woman really didn't know how to live or die, and she actually dared to resist the order.

"Okay," Hongde Longqiu said slowly after a long time, "Since you don't want to go back, I won't force you."

Meng Xinzhu was very surprised. She looked up at Hongde Longqiu. How could he let her go so easily?

"Xiao Zhao, the disappearance of the imperial concubine is still a big deal. What are the responsibilities of the relevant people?"

"Return to the emperor, it will be a death sentence."

Hongde Longqiu turned his back and said, "Preaching the decree, Concubine Zhu disappeared for no reason. The eunuchs and maids in Zhuyuan did not report the knowledge. They will be punished for their crimes!"

"They didn't know anything, so how could they fail to report what they knew?" Meng Xinzhu understood what the emperor was planning.

"Since you are not the Bamboo Concubine, then the master who has served you for ten years suddenly disappeared, and a fake one came, but these slaves didn't know it? Who can believe it?"

Meng Xinzhu was stunned. What she was most worried about had happened. Wasn't it just to save them when she agreed to Concubine Zhu's fake plan? Now that she regarded them as family members, how could she watch her family members die? Meng Xinzhu closed her eyes.

Closing her eyes, she felt that she was so weak in this time and space. She said feebly: "What do you want?"

Hongde Longqiu turned around and leaned into her ear, "I just want Zhu Fei."

"Even if it's a fake, does it not matter?"

Hongde Longqiu paused and said with a deep smile: "Isn't what I saw the real Bamboo Concubine?"

Meng Xinzhu stared at the man in front of him again. The Bamboo Concubine he saw? His meaning couldn't be more obvious. Wasn't the Bamboo Concubine he saw pretending to be her?

Hongde Longqiu stood aside quietly, waiting for the woman's answer.

Meng Xinzhu sat blankly, staring at the river. A gust of wind blew by, and the soaked clothes on her body made her shiver. She looked up at the stars, Zhu Fei, is this the fate you call?

Meng Xinzhu sighed and stood up, "It's time to go back."

The corners of Hongde Longqiu's mouth raised slightly. He already knew the answer when he heard her sigh. He turned around and looked at Meng Xinzhu, "Since my beloved concubine's leg is injured, please let me carry you back."

"A word for you - dream!"

Hongde Longqiu raised his eyebrows. He was suddenly in the mood to joke with the concubine, "This seems to be two words."

"I'm talking in English - dream. I don't think you can understand it, so I'll tell you after I translate it. Don't worry, you won't be charged for translation, it's just a free gift!" Meng Xinzhu shook her head and started to sit at the stone stall on the shore.

walk.

English? What is it? Hongde Longqiu shook his head with a smile. This concubine is so stubborn and interesting!

Meng Xinzhu was dragging her injured leg, one foot high and one foot low. The rocks on the shore were large and small and could not be seen clearly under the moonlight. She staggered, and before she could cry out, she was already hugged by Hong Delong Qiu.

In arms.

"My beloved, there is still a long way to go like this. It looks like this," Hongde Longqiu shook his head to indicate the current situation of the two of them. Meng Xinzhu pushed him hard, trying to keep the distance between the two of them.

"Situations like this may happen many times. I don't mind, but I don't know what my beloved concubine thinks? So why not..." He picked up Meng Xinzhu and said, "Just let me 'dream', anyway, now is the time"

Night is the time to dream."
