Chapter 152: Wait and see what happens, and follow the vine to touch the melon
In the palace, Chu Chen rushed to the imperial study in a hurry. The two guards standing guard at the gate did not relax at all. When they saw Chu Chen coming, they all clasped their fists and bowed.
In the imperial study, I saw a man in a bright yellow robe, sitting on the Taishi chair. The marble text in front of him was piled up with various letters. Pen and ink, paper inkstone.
Chu Chen broke into the door, and the man sitting on the Taishi's chair put down the music in his hand and raised his eyebrows to look at the man who came in.
"Are you looking for me?" Chu Chen did not bow down to the man, but went his own way to the subject. For his style of acting, Chu Chenxiao seems to have become commonplace.
"Hmm......" The man replied lightly, he got up and walked over with the letter on the table, and handed it to Chu Chen.
"If you look at it, you'll understand. Chu Chen looked at the letter, a little puzzled, he was in a hurry, he held back his beloved woman, and came to the imperial study to read a letter?
Chu Chen took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and the look inside made him dumbfounded. Chu Chen looked at the content of the letter, and on his handsome face, unprecedented emotions appeared. The dark and deep ice eyes still splashed with a gloomy aura. He clenched the letter in his hand. Slowly calmed down his emotions and said: "What a Shu country, since you dare to play tricks, you can confuse the truth with the false." β
"I didn't expect things to come to this point, I don't know what Brother Wang thinks. A few years ago, he suspected that Yin Qingling was not a simple woman, but fortunately he had not slackened in the past two years. It's just that he didn't expect that Yin Qingling had died three years ago.
"They can hide from the world, why can't we come. Take the sheep by the hand, throw bricks and lead the jade?"
"What does Brother Wang mean?" Chu Chenxiao seemed to not understand what he meant, he thought that Chu Chen knew the truth of the matter and would immediately interrogate Yin Qingling, after all, it was a hidden danger. But his expression, with such an unfathomable look, made him really unable to guess what he was thinking.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Wait and see what happens, and follow the vine. "Chu Chen knows that some ministers in the court have always been hidden dangers in the Shu Kingdom, since Yin Qingling was ordered to come to make peace, then there will definitely be an internal response to her. What he has to do now is to follow the vine and look for an opportunity to serve it in one pot.
I don't know what, when he saw this news, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, Xu was that he had been entangled in fear of hurting Yin Qingling before, but now he was not entangled at all, because now it was not Yin Qingling at all, but her sister, Yin Shaoqing.
Thinking of this, the man's handsome and gloomy face showed a bit of evil loneliness. It was a deep look, a mystery that no one else could fathom.
A few days later, on the bustling avenue. I saw a woman in white wandering through the middle of the crowd. Woman with white veil covering her face. On her beautiful face, she has a blind and faceless look.
"Miss, why don't you go home! We've been gone for nearly two hours. Xue'er, who was still following Shangguan, complained dissatisfiedly, you know, they went from morning to morning. Walking from the east to the west of the city, she now feels like her feet are almost no longer her own.
"If you're tired, go back first. I'm shopping. Ever since she bumped into Chu Chen and Yin Qingling hugging each other that day, she had been stuffed at home for several days. And Chu Chen didn't seem to want to explain what happened that day, originally she always thought that it might be her misunderstanding, anyway, she was looking for various reasons to excuse Chu Chen.
She stayed in the room all the time, wanting Chu Chen to give her an explanation, but she didn't care about it. Xue'er told her that during this time, Chu Chen went out early and returned late, and he was busy day and night. She knew it and laughed.
Busy, really so busy? So busy that you don't even have a few minutes to explain? So don't really take yourself too seriously, maybe in other people's hearts, you're just a dispensable person.
Shangguan was still secretly sarcastic in her heart, she had no purpose in weaving through the crowd. Because the white veil covered her face, she couldn't see her face at the moment.
It's not that she has to be so mysterious, but she has nothing to do with the mask during this time, and she has a rash when she uses it. But fortunately, it didn't get to the point of disfigurement.
"Miss, why don't we go to the front and have a meeting. β
"Are you hungry?" Shangguan still turned around and asked, to be honest, she was also hungry, after all, she wandered blindly without breakfast. It's hard enough for her to let Cher walk blindly with her.
"Hmm......" Cher nodded aggrievedly. She touched her already hungry stomach, and her eyes were a little aggrieved.
"Alright then, let's take you to dinner. β
Xue'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded a few times in succession, leading the way in a happy mood.
Shangguan still smiled lightly, helpless Yaoyao's head. She sighed in her heart.
It's good to be young, isn't it because a good age should be so carefree? The days still have to pass, and the food still has to be eaten. It's yourself who is aggrieved.
Even if no one likes it, you have to live well, don't you? So why worry now?
Thinking of this, Shangguan still raised a few clouds on his original autumn cloudy face.
Yipinxuan. I saw that in the hall, there were boxy tabletops, and long benches were placed on both sides of the tables. Shangguan still casually found a place to sit with Xue'er.
"Girl, what do you want to eat?" the second brother of a shop came over with a kettle and a stack of plates full of melon seeds.
"Order what you like to eat. Shangguan still said to Xue'er.
"Shall I order?" Cher pointed to herself, a puzzled expression.
"Miss, let's order it. Cher whispered refusal, joking, where did she know what to order, saying that she didn't come to these places often to eat. She is a little maid who has never seen the world, how can she know what to order?
Shangguan still saw Xue'er's refusal, so he said to Xiao Er: "First come a pot of good champion red, half a catty of beef, and catch the dragon and phoenix." Braised pork trotters, and a few side dishes with wine. β
"Wellβthat's all for now. Not enough to order again. β
The little second brother picked up the cups on the table and poured them two cups of tea. Listen carefully and carefully to the names of the dishes that Shangguan still ordered.
The second brother took two steps back, and said to Shangguan: "Girl, wait a while, and I will prepare for you immediately." β
"Trouble little brother......"
"Don't bother," the shopkeeper immediately bowed and turned to leave. After the little second brother left, Shangguan still took off the veil covering his face, picked up the cup, and took a few sips to moisten his throat.
"Miss...... Your face seems to be healed."
"I'm just a normal allerg, it's not a big deal. She didn't expect that since Shangguan's skin was so sensitive, she could also be allergic if she wore a jujube mud mask. You must know that in her previous life, her skin was not too good, anyway, any mask can be used, and it will not be irritated.
At that time, several men sitting not far from her said: "Have you heard of it? A few days ago, all the major sects gathered in Dongyang, saying that they wanted to be for the Demon Spirit Sect and the Roundabout Gang. Let's get some back. β
"Isn't it? Now all the major sects are gathering in Cangcheng. How to say that the Roundabout Gang, and the Demon Spirit Sect are gangs with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, and now they have been wiped out by the Lotus Palace for no reason, and all the major sects are in the same boat, saying that they want to go to the Lotus Palace to find Ouyang Ruo, the old devil, to ask for an explanation. β
A few young men who seemed to be in the rivers and lakes chatted gossiping.
Lotus Palace, Ouyang Ruo, why is this name so familiar? Shangguan was still holding the water glass in his hand, thinking with a puzzled expression. She always felt like she had heard the name somewhere.
So after thinking about it for a long time, I finally knew why the Lotus Palace sounded so familiar. Shangguan still relieved the doubts in his heart, and continued to listen with his ears pricked up.
"There's more exciting news in the future, I don't know if you want to hear it. The man in this purple robe said mysteriously, whetting the appetite of several men who were with him.
"I have a brother who got along with a female disciple of the Lotus Official. Before the man could finish speaking, several men glanced at each other.
I saw a man in a nude robe on the side and said dissatisfiedly: "I thought it was something, but I didn't expect it to be this thing." Come, have a few drinks, and don't listen to him. β
Several people raised their wine glasses and collided, and the man on the side was ignored by the three of them, only to see him quickly explain: "Look at you one by one." I'm not done yet, am I?"
"Anyway, my brother secretly and the female disciple of the Lotus Palace secretly Chen Cang, this time it was several months. β
"My brother came one night as promised. Make an appointment with that female disciple on the mountain behind the Lotus Palace. The female disciple came a little late that night, and my brother was not happy. Just a few words. When the woman saw that he was so angry, she told my brother why she had delayed the hour. β
"Yun Qian, everyone knows about it, right?
"You know, you know, you say the point. The man on the side listened attentively. Patiently perfunctory a few words to the man.
The point is this Yun Qian, she got some poison out of nowhere, and gave her master ......" The man danced and gestured.
"Kill?" The man on the side was a little unconvinced, Ouyang Ruo's martial arts, looking at the entire martial arts, there were very few who could match her.
"No, no, you listen to me explain them one by one. Ouyang Ruo's old devil was drugged by her apprentice and imprisoned in the dungeon for more than a year, and one night they relaxed their guard and were escaped by her. β
After the man in purple finished speaking, the men sitting next to him were all dumbfounded.
"I said why the Lotus Palace is like this now, but Ouyang Ruo, the old devil, still ignores it, it turns out that the reason is here. The man in a nude robe embroidered with embroidery was obviously surprised.
"And then?"
Later, after Ouyang Ruo escaped, he was rescued by a young man. Whether it is dead or alive, no one knows. β
"However, according to my brother, the Lotus Officer has been secretly looking for this man in Tsing Yi on a large scale recently, but he has returned in vain, and he has not seen the appearance of the mysterious man. The man in purple said lightly.
Shangguan still listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, and the little second brother held the food on the table, but she didn't react. Xue'er saw her with a stunned expression and said with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Miss must be thinking about the prince again. Xue'er only thought she was thinking about Chu Chen.
Shangguan still came back to his senses, and smiled at Xue'er: "What's the matter" Shangguan still thought something had happened, so he asked.
"It's time to eat. β
"Well, let's eat. Shangguan still picked up the chopsticks and recalled the conversation between the men just now.
