Chapter 300: The Old Man Again
However, Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun sat and waited for about half an hour, but there was still no news.
Seeing her fidgeting, Su Yun replaced the already cold tea she was holding in her hand, poured her another cup of hot tea and persuaded: "Girl, maybe no news is good news for us, you don't have to worry too much, we have been running around all day in the day, and now it's not too early, let's rest first." β
Chu Yunsheng's heart naturally couldn't let go, but what Su Yun said was right, maybe there was no news at this juncture It was good news for them, and now she had no other way but to wait, and she had to let Su Yun worry with her, so when she met Su Yun's worried eyes, Chu Yunsheng nodded, drank a cup of tea, calmed down his mixed mood a little, and then said: " I'm fine, you're right, it's not a way to be in a hurry now, so you go back and rest first, I'm really a little tired, so I'll rest and wait until dawn tomorrow to see what the news is. β
Hearing Chu Yunsheng say this, Su Yun was a little relieved, and after she made the bed for Chu Yunsheng, she retreated.
Although Chu Yunsheng was tired, she didn't feel sleepy at all, she lay down with her clothes closed, tossing and turning on the bed, and she didn't know how long it took before she gradually fell asleep, and this sleep was also very unstable, she had several dreams in the muddy nightmares, and they were all nightmares, these nightmares were intertwined, for a while she saw her aunt lying on the sickbed in pain, choking and crying at her, and for a while she saw Master Yuanchen standing in front of her aunt's bed covered in blood, but she couldn't say a word, and then she saw Brother Dumb, but Brother Dumb didn't seem to recognize her at all, no matter how she called, Brother Dumb ignored herβ¦β¦
These dreams overlapped back and forth, she cried and shouted in the dream, but she couldn't escape, and when she finally escaped from the dream from exhaustion, she found that it was already dawn.
And just as Chu Yunsheng was getting dressed, there was a knock on the door outside, she opened the door, only to see Su Yun already standing outside neatly dressed, as soon as she saw her, Su Yun turned around and followed her into the house and closed the door, and then handed a note to Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng unfolded it and took a look, this was the news that the binary trustee had passed back from outside, and the content on the note once again knocked her into a trough, it was written that since the middle of the night last year, King Wei began to ban it, and people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't go out, and Sun Yingwen was already wanted in the whole process, and Sun Yingwen was charged with colluding with foreign thieves and plotting to usurp the throne...... If the last time Sun Yingwen escorted Chu Yunsheng safely in the guard camp, this was considered a collusion with foreign thieves, then where did the usurpation of the dynasty begin?
Anyone with some qualifications in the Imperial Court should know that Sun Yingwen was once a confidant of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and since the last Li Sheng's rebellion, Sun Yingwen has been valued by Her Royal Highness the Princess, but only after defending himself against the prince's pro-government gradually alienated Sun Yingwen, and now Sun Yingwen is convicted of plotting to usurp the throne, how can people be convinced?
Not only that, but this note also said that since this morning, the guards in the palace and the guards at the city gate have doubled, and the royal family has made such a vigilant formation, as if it is really dealing with a rebellion that is about to be instigated, however, what it is, I am afraid that only King Wei knows in his heart.
After reading the contents of the note clearly, Chu Yunsheng said to Su Yun while using internal force to turn the note into powder: " I want to go out of the post house to see what the situation is outside, and then think about whether there can be a faster way to enter the princess's mansion, I am worried that there will be a change, yesterday I saw the itinerary arranged by Wei Guo for He Yueying, in the last few days she has to follow the grandmother sent from the palace to learn etiquette in the post house, there will be no chance to enter the palace, so for the time being, I stay with her and will not get the opportunity to enter the palace or even enter the princess's mansion, it is better to go outside to see, can there be any way. β
Hearing this, Su Yun also nodded and said, "Then I'll go with the girl." β
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said: "He Yueying's situation is not very safe, she still has to leave a proper person to take care of her, otherwise I will not be at ease, and once there is any movement here or any situation outside, it is good to contact us in time." β
Hearing Chu Yunsheng say this, Su Yun didn't want to say anything, so she had to say, "That girl is careful, I'll talk to He Yueying when I go back." β
Chu Yunsheng nodded, packed up his clothes and went out, the road was still smooth and smooth, just like last night, and he didn't encounter any obstacles.
When she got out of the post house, there were still a few spies behind her, she didn't dare to be careless, and like last night, she picked a lot of people to walk in the downtown area, and threw off the spies behind her in a few corners, and after successfully getting rid of the spies, she found that she had gone around and around to the mouth of the alley that was only two streets away from the princess's mansion.
Although Chu Yunsheng remembered the words she promised last night, she was still relieved, so with the mentality of trying, she took steps out of the alley and walked in the direction of the princess's mansion.
Even if the city gate is closed today and people from outside can't enter, it still doesn't affect the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the city.
When Chu Yunsheng passed by a pastry shop in the center of the street, she subconsciously paused, she raised her eyes to look at this shop, and couldn't help but sound Every time she took Brother Dumb through every town, she would buy osmanthus cakes for him, and now this pastry shop is in front of her, if Brother Dumb is here, I believe that he will also be brought here at this time.
Therefore, she was originally going to continue to move forward, but at this time, she couldn't help herself, she subconsciously turned a corner, and turned to the pastry shop, seeing the shopkeeper's smiling greeting, Chu Yunsheng bought two osmanthus cakes, and when she held them in her hands, her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
She raised her hand to carefully wrap the osmanthus cake, and was about to turn around and walk out of the pastry shop, when the two women who came towards her attracted Chu Yunsheng's attention, one of them wore a white hat and a light blue gauze skirt, the texture was as light as silk, and at first glance she was a young lady from a rich and noble family, but the long hat wrapped her entire upper body, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but the little girl who was carefully supporting her next to her looked delicate, and at this time her pair of watery eyes were looking at everything around her with great interest, as if she felt extraordinarily fresh about the things outside, like a bird that has just been released from its cage.
The temperament of the two of them is completely different from that of the people who are in a hurry on the street, so they can be noticed at a glance, so Chu Yunsheng only took one more look, but this did not attract her attention, she was still thinking about the princess's mansion at this time, so she just glanced at it in a hurry, and after making a general impression of the master and servant, she turned her eyes and walked out.
At this moment, seeing that she was about to pass by the two of them, a gust of wind suddenly set off from outside, neither big nor small, but it just lifted the corner of the woman's hat, and Chu Yunsheng only turned his eyes back from the two of them at this time, but just caught a glimpse of the corner of the hat that was lifted, this glance made her chuckle and almost missed a beat.
If, at that moment just now, she was not mistaken, this noble woman who wrapped herself tightly in a hat turned out to be her acquaintance!
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and hid the osmanthus cake in the sleeve of his left hand, and at the same time, with a shake of his right hand, he slipped the dagger that had been on the inside of his right arm into the palm of his hand, covering it with the wide sleeve.
When she had done all this in one go, she lifted her steps and turned around slowly, as if casually returning to the counter to talk to the shopkeeper, but at this time, the rest of her eyes were looking at the master and servant.
It was just a glimpse, and she wasn't sure if she was blind, but if she hadn't seen it wrong, then now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
Yes or no, she should have to give it a try.
So, thinking of this, she had already turned around and quickly looked around, and determined that only an ordinary carriage was parked outside the pastry shop, in addition to the coachman, there were also two middle-aged men standing outside who had good kung fu, their eyes were like torches, and they looked like they had undergone long-term training, not ordinary caretakers.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng became more and more confident in his guess.
Therefore, she took advantage of the moment to turn to the counter, lifted her steps and sped up her speed, seeing that the two women had already bought a pack of red bean and jujube cakes from the shopkeeper, and were about to turn around and walk back at this time, Chu Yunsheng was unsteady and ran towards the woman wearing a hat.
Even if Chu Yunsheng's action was too sudden, it caught people off guard, but the reaction of the woman with the hat was also extremely fast, she turned her ankle to avoid Chu Yunsheng who bumped into her, and Chu Yunsheng seemed to have expected her to avoid the side, and when she just avoided it, Chu Yunsheng's body also fell in the direction of her avoidance one step ahead of her, and at the same time, seeing that the woman had raised her hand to try to push her away in order to prevent it, Chu Yunsheng's reaction was faster, she pretended to fall and grabbed the woman's wrist in a hurry, and before the woman could make a move, Chu Yunsheng's other hand had already pressed on her waist, and at the same time against her waist was the dagger that had already been prepared in Chu Yunsheng's palm.
The woman's reaction was not slow, when Chu Yunsheng pressed her vein with one hand and pressed the dagger against her waist with the other, she had already found out that she had been ambushed by others, she was not panicked, she didn't even struggle at all, just turned her head to look at Chu Yunsheng through the curtain.
Chu Yunsheng was surprised: "I'm sorry Miss, I was suddenly dizzy just now, so I couldn't stand steadily, and I accidentally bumped into the girl, but now I'm also dizzy, so I bother to ask the girl to help me walk for a while." β
Hearing Chu Yunsheng's words, the woman with the hat quickly understood Chu Yunsheng's intentions, she nodded, and said in a faint voice: "In that case, please follow me to the carriage to rest." β
As she spoke, she lifted her steps and made a gesture to go to the carriage, seeing this, Chu Yunsheng also leaned on her skills and followed her steps to the carriage.
Seeing this, the little girl who had been following this woman turned red, and she said angrily: "What is your identity, you still want to ride in a carriage with our master, and you just collided with your master, you have to be careful of your head!"
It was only before her voice fell, and she was scolded by the woman who was supporting Chu Yunsheng: "Yue'er, shut up, this is because the girl is not feeling well, I will give this girl a ride in a carriage, and you will follow the guards for a while first." β
Her voice was faint, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, however, the more such a voice gave people a kind of oppression that was not angry and self-threatening, and that Yue'er didn't dare to say more after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help raise the car curtain.
Mingli was the woman who helped Chu Yunsheng into the carriage, but it was actually Chu Yunsheng who buckled her veins and used the wide sleeves to cover the dagger against her waist.
However, from the outside, the two people supported each other, and there was nothing unusual about them.
After the two of them got into the carriage and sat down, she lowered the curtain of the carriage before she said, "I don't know what the girl wants to kidnap me?"
Although she was wearing a hat, although the tone of her voice was not as humble and gentle as before, Chu Yunsheng still recognized her from her timbre at once.
However, at this time, Chu Yunsheng was put on makeup by Su Yun and dressed up as a pretty-looking little girl, so it was not surprising that she didn't recognize her.
Hearing her words, the corners of Chu Yunsheng's mouth moved, and a smile appeared on her face, and then she said, "Nothing, I just want to ask you for a favor." β
Hearing this, the woman was stunned and didn't react, but soon she turned her head and felt her eyes as cool as she could through her hat, so she just heard her say, "Why does the girl think I will help you?"
As she spoke, she ignored Chu Yunsheng's dagger that was still resting on her waist, moved her body directly, changed a comfortable position and leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, and then said with a smile: "Do you think that you can threaten me like this?" Actually, I don't need to take action personally, I just need an order, I'm afraid that you will be in a different place today, so why do you think I will help you?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded, and also greeted her words: "Yes, I have nothing that is worthy of your help, but I still hope you can be clear, now your life is in my hands, as long as my hand is not careful, maybe if you don't wait for you to open that sentence, there will be no more Duan Concubine Niangniang in this world, you say, right?"
Hearing this, the woman's body was stunned.
