Chapter 507: Accidental Collision
Chu Yunsheng's heart tightened, and he was puzzled.
I've never heard of a beautiful woman who is elected to the palace still knows how to drink.
And she couldn't guess what this eunuch wanted to do, so naturally she didn't dare to act rashly, if she really wanted to choose a beauty who could drink to King Xiao He, she didn't take this head, after all, as soon as she arrived in front of King Xiao He, her identity would be revealed, it was better to follow the remaining beauties back to Chuxiu Palace, and then find a way, as long as she entered the palace, she had already taken the first step, so although Chu Yunsheng was also anxious, she was not to the point of going to the doctor in a hurry.
At this time, not only did she not understand what the eunuch meant, but the rest of the other beauties standing there also looked at each other, and none of them took the initiative to stand up and take the eunuch's words.
"No one?"
Seeing the reactions of these beauties, a trace of disappointment crossed the eunuch's eyes, he sighed, and then said: "The prince asked me to choose two women among you who can drink, since you don't know how to drink, then I can only choose at will, just you, you." ”
As his voice fell, his fingertips had already slashed among the ten women, and finally landed on the heads of two.
One of them was Chu Yunsheng.
When he saw the eunuch's hand with the orchid finger pointing at him, Chu Yunsheng's heart also tightened.
This is going to be sent to King Xiao He?
Tian Wen is still in the imperial study, if he is selected to be sent over at this time, wouldn't it be a failure?
However, it turned out that Chu Yunsheng's worries were unnecessary, because after the eunuch called another eunuch to take the remaining eight beauties to Chuxiu Palace for placement, he took her and another woman down the steps.
Seeing that he didn't want to send him to the imperial study immediately, Chu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, however, he turned his head again and remembered that she and Lan Yi had to be separated.
At this time, Lan Yi stood among the other beauties, followed another eunuch down and walked in front of them, Chu Yunsheng's heart was also up and down, and it happened that Lan Yi happened to turn around to look at her at this time, although both of them were wearing hats and couldn't see each other's eyes and appearances clearly, but Chu Yunsheng could still feel that Lan Yi wanted her to rest assured.
Having come to this point, he can only continue to move forward, and he can't give up, otherwise his previous efforts will be wasted, so Chu Yunsheng nodded at the blue clothes who turned his head, and then bowed his head slightly, and followed the eunuch beside him who was pointing to her.
At that time, the sky had gradually darkened, and it was already time for the palace to hold the lamp, and when the eunuch walked to the bottom of the jade steps, a little eunuch next to him trotted to his side with a lantern to lead the way.
Walking out of the road from the imperial study, Chu Yunsheng was very familiar with it, and she felt uneasy in her heart, so she felt that this road was extraordinarily long.
"Father-in-law, why didn't the prince summon us in the imperial study, and where are we going now?"
There is also another woman who is also worried, she walks side by side with Chu Yunsheng, although she can't see her appearance clearly, but her voice is melodious, which makes people feel comfortable when they hear it, and she is a woman with a gentle temperament.
When asked by the woman, the eunuch turned his head and glanced at Chu Yunsheng and her leisurely, and then said in a strange manner: "The prince summoned the girl, but I have thought too much, the prince has already given you to others, and I am taking you to meet your future master." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng was stunned, and the woman beside her was also stunned and paused, only to see her ask timidly: "Father-in-law, what do you mean...... We are not presenting beauties to the prince, but the prince is using them to reward others?"
"Exactly. ”
Hearing the woman's timid words, the eunuch snorted twice with his nose, and without looking back, he walked directly in front and led the way for the two of them, followed by a group of no less than twenty Praetorian Guards behind the two of them.
Who can have this momentum, and who is the person who wants King Xiao He to send the beauty out?
Chu Yunsheng was also puzzled in her heart, but at this time she didn't have time to think about this, what she was worried about was that she had finally sneaked into the palace, however, she hadn't even found out the slightest bit of news, and she hadn't even seen the face of King Xiao He, so it was given to someone else, how could she be willing.
"Ouch!" Chu Yunsheng didn't move forward, but bent down suddenly, and groaned, "My stomach hurts so much." ”
Seeing this, the eunuch turned around, looked at Chu Yunsheng condescendingly, and said, "Girl, you have to endure the stomach pain, you will be here soon." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the Praetorian Guards standing behind Chu Yunsheng and another woman, and immediately two strong Praetorian Guard guards stepped forward and made a gesture to set up Chu Yunsheng on the left and right.
If it was the emperor's woman, where would these Praetorian Guards dare to touch it, seeing their careless appearance, Chu Yunsheng also knew that what the eunuch said was right, but the eunuch's words just now had already attracted her attention - it would be there soon.
It will take at least an hour to get out of the palace from here, not to mention that they are still walking.
In addition to the Praetorian Guards, there will be no second man in this palace, and at this time, the eunuch said that he would arrive soon, so who did King Xiao He give her and this woman to?
A bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and at the same time, a guess popped up from Chu Yunsheng's mind.
At this time, the only man she could think of in the palace was He Rong.
And he was originally in collusion with King Xiao He, and it was reasonable for King Xiao He to send him a beauty.
If that's the case, won't you be caught in the net?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng felt as if someone had been detained by someone with a basin of cold water from beginning to end, and the coldness was biting.
By this time, she could not think much about it, for the two Praetorian Guards had already framed her, forcing her to keep up with the steps of the eunuch and the other woman.
She is very familiar with the vicinity of Weiwang Palace, if it is really not far away, then it is very likely to be in Yunhua Palace, and Yunhua Palace is the largest palace in addition to Weiwang Palace in addition to Weiwang Palace and the Queen's Bedroom.
If she and the woman were really taken there right now...... Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but gasp in his heart, if it weren't for He Rong, she didn't want to be the second person to be qualified and arranged to live there by King Xiao He.
They walked forward quickly, all the way, and the more they walked, the more frightened Chu Yunsheng became.
Until the end, they stopped at the gate of Yunhua Palace, and the last hope in Chu Yunsheng's heart was completely shattered.
After the eunuch explained his intention to the guards at the door, he let the two Praetorian Guards on the left and right let go of the hand holding Chu Yunsheng's arm, and then lowered his voice and said: " Since the prince gave the two to this distinguished guest, you should also serve him well, as long as you can serve him comfortably, you will also enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, but if one of you offends this distinguished guest, then, don't blame me for not reminding you, not only will you fall to the ground, but even your family and friends will be implicated because of you. ”
As soon as his voice fell, Chu Yunsheng obviously felt the body of the woman standing next to her sway, and in the next moment, the woman leaned towards Chu Yunsheng, she clenched Chu Yunsheng's arm with both hands, and said timidly: "But, how do we understand the preferences of that distinguished guest, if he is unhappy, do we really want to fall to the ground?"
Her voice is melodious, coupled with such a timid tone, she can already soften people's hearts without looking at her appearance, not to mention that she is still a beauty specially selected from Nanjiang.
The eunuch nodded with satisfaction, his tone softened by three points, he glanced at Chu Yunsheng, and then at the woman, and then said: "That distinguished guest is a graceful person, you are from him, and it is also your blessing, and the rest depends on your creation." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Chu Yunsheng and the others to follow, and then walked in front and led them into Yunhua Palace.
Although Chu Yunsheng was very familiar with the surroundings and knew which palace was in which location, but like Yunhua Palace, she had not set foot in a palace before, and she did not know the layout inside, so she followed the eunuch all the way through the front hall, the corridor, and bypassed the front yard, and finally stopped at the gate of the side courtyard of Yunhua Palace.
Along the way, Chu Yunsheng's heart was all up and down, even if that person was not He Rong, she also knew that it would be difficult to escape from here, and if that person was He Rong, what should she do?
If He Rong could take the initiative to reject the two of them and return them directly to Xiao He Wang, it would be easy, but would He Rong?
In Chu Yunsheng's impression, although He Rong is ruthless and deceitful, he is not a good woman, and he only uses Tang Xuexu, and he doesn't have much love for children, and his harem should be said to be the most deserted harem except for Su Jingxuan, because there is only Tang Xuexu.
Such people, in the face of the women who are sent, most of them will refuse.
Chu Yunsheng looked forward to it in his heart.
"Let's go. ”
When he walked to the gate of the side courtyard, the eunuch glanced back at Chu Yunsheng and the woman beside her, and said again: "Cheer up, this distinguished guest is not an ordinary person." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Chu Yunsheng and the woman to respond, he turned around, and then lifted his steps and walked in front.
Chu Yunsheng and the woman only nodded in response, and then followed in small steps.
There are many late osmanthus planted in this yard, it is late autumn at this time, the osmanthus flowers bloom the most here, when you have not yet entered the yard, you have smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, at this time you step into the yard, the fragrance of osmanthus is more and more intense.
In the place where the osmanthus is the most prosperous, there is a stone platform, the platform is full of delicacies, and there is a person sitting on the side of the stone platform, the person's slender fingertips fall on the cup, the ordinary jasper tea cup seems to be endowed with brilliance, dazzling very.
And that person, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, the corners of the robe are embroidered with cloud patterns with silver threads, and there is a faint luster under this dim palace lamp, and the grace and bearing of that body can be recognized even if it covers that face.
It's not who He Rong is!
The moment he saw him, Chu Yunsheng's heart also sank to the lowest point.
I'm really afraid of what's coming.
She felt that the luck God gave her was simply too good, and she originally wanted to go to Xiao Hewang's side to inquire about He Rong's situation, but she never thought that this would be good, and she would be sent directly to He Rong.
And her face appeared in front of He Rong last night, how could he not remember her, as soon as this hat was taken off, she would be exposed on the spot, and whether or not she could be sure that her aunt was not here at that time, she herself would not be able to run away in the first place.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and pinched his thigh fiercely, which made him reluctantly calm down.
"Childe, this is the beauty that our prince sent to accompany Childe to drink, the prince said, Childe drinks alone, it is too boring, let the two of them come to cheer up Childe, if Childe likes it, he can also send more such beauties. ”
The eunuch who walked in the front saluted He Rong, and then raised his hand to push Chu Yunsheng and the woman beside her in front of He Rong.
He Rong's hand holding the wine cup paused, then rested on the stone table, he turned his eyes from the osmanthus tree, and then his gaze fell on the eunuch.
"Go and repay your prince, just say that I understand the kindness, but I want to be quiet, so let them retreat. ”
His voice was a little hoarse compared to usual, and his demeanor was not the same, which made Chu Yunsheng can't help but take a look at him, but he saw that his cheeks were crimson, as if he had drunk too much wine.
Could it be that he is drunk?
As soon as this idea came out, it was denied by Chu Yunsheng himself, because at this time, He Rong spoke clearly, and his temperament was still calm, although his face was a touch of crimson, but he didn't look like he was already drunk.
At the same time, He Rong's words just now also made Chu Yunsheng feel relieved in an instant, he really retreated them, this is okay, although the news of the investigation by Xiao Hewang's side is not as direct and fast as that from He Rong's side, but she is like this, she is afraid that she will be recognized as soon as she takes off her hat.
However, without waiting for Chu Yunsheng to breathe a sigh of relief, he listened to the eunuch say: "Childe, our prince is also very kind, he said, if the prince doesn't look down on these two women, you can change someone else at any time, if the prince wants to be quiet, let them serve on the side, the son has been here for a while, and I haven't seen a handy person by the side of the son, you just treat these two people as the girls." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for He Rong to refuse, the eunuch turned his ankle and ran away.
Chu Yunsheng and the woman beside him were left, and the two of them were still wearing hats, standing in place, at a loss for a while.
And He Rong had a faint smile on his face from beginning to end, although the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but compared to usual, it was a little less cold, he raised his hand, shook the wine in the wine cup, his eyes swept over Chu Yunsheng and the woman, and then fell on the wine in his wine cup, and finally said: "Come here"
