Chapter 510: The Jade Pendant is Lost
However, it was gone, and the moment he found out that it was gone, Chu Yunsheng only felt that one of his hearts had been lost.
She was a little dispossessed all of a sudden, and her mind was in a mess, constantly flashing the fragments she had experienced before, and then searching for the places where the jade pendant might have been lost in every inch of these fragments.
In the end, the most likely place she could think of was the courtyard where He Rong was and the room where he was resting.
However, at this time, she has just rescued her aunt, and I believe that news will soon reach He Rong's ears, and now going to him again is undoubtedly self-defeating, not to mention, now she has to escort her aunt out of the palace safely.
So, reason told her that she couldn't go back now.
However, if she doesn't go back, that's it, if she lets such an important thing left to her by her mother be thrown away, Chu Yunsheng can't be reluctant, that is the only thought left to her by her mother, when she is most sad, it is this jade pendant that accompanies her, in the years when her mother left, she lived alone in the dark lock demon tower, it was this jade pendant that gave her light and light, so that she could support and survive.
So, she can't let it go, she can't throw it away!
At this moment, there was a sound of uniform footsteps not far away.
"Quick, you guys go over there and search!"
"Let's go a few here, they won't be able to run far!"
General Cao's voice sounded not far away, and you don't need to look to know that the matter must have been revealed at this time, and now General Cao is leading the Praetorian Guards to search for people in the palace.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng raised her hand and touched the tears that had fallen because of the loss of the jade pendant, she bent down to support her aunt, and said softly: "Auntie, let's leave first." β
The jade pendant is important, but the aunt in front of you is even more important.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, Chu Yunsheng immediately made a decision, and after waiting for Xiao Yijun to nod with tears in her eyes, Chu Yunsheng immediately raised his hand and grabbed her waist, and was about to jump onto the palace wall with her, however, her body was only swept to the average, and she was a little physically exhausted, but fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, and quickly dodged and kicked the palace wall with her foot, and ejected herself with this force, and finally fell on the roof of this side hall.
Just as she was taking her aunt to stabilize her body, she saw a black shadow passing not far away, so fast that Chu Yunsheng couldn't see his figure clearly, and she was holding her aunt with one hand, and the other hand was already pressed on the hilt of the soft sword at her waist.
However, it was only in the next moment, after seeing the person who swept in front of them, Chu Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time let go of the hand that was about to draw the sword by pressing the hilt of the sword.
Because that person is none other than the dumb brother who Chu Yunsheng confessed to secretly follow her outside Tianwen Mansion before!
She didn't expect that Brother Dumb would have such ability, and he could follow her all the way in this masterful palace of King Wei, and the moment she saw Brother Dumb, infinite hope and smile had already risen in Chu Yunsheng's eyes.
Brother Dumb swept in front of her, lowered his eyes to look at her, then at the aunt she was holding with great difficulty, and finally raised his hand and pushed the half of the silver mask on his face, but did not speak.
Although Chu Yunsheng knew that he had a habit of cleanliness and hated being touched by others, at this time, the situation was urgent, and she couldn't care about it, because the sound of the Praetorian Guards searching here was already heard not far away.
"Dumb brother, listen to me, the situation is urgent now, so, I want to ask you to take your aunt out of the palace, be sure to send her out of the palace safely, and then find the place where we will contact Lan Yi during the day today, and hand her over to Lan Yi and them to take good care of her. β
Chu Yunsheng was afraid that Brother Dumb would not be willing, and when she said this, she had already grabbed Brother Dumb's arm and raised her eyes to look at him seriously and firmly.
Hearing this, Brother Dumb's cool eyes flashed, and then fell to Chu Yunsheng's hand holding his arm, and finally said with difficulty: "You are also together." β
Obviously, he also heard that the reason why Chu Yunsheng confessed to him like this was that he had no intention of being with him, so he entrusted Xiao Yijun to him, although he was withdrawn by nature and only lived in his own world, how could he not know that there was a lot of danger now, and he didn't know how dangerous Chu Yunsheng was in this palace now, so he was naturally unwilling to leave Chu Yunsheng behind.
Although he was wearing that half of the silver mask, the emotions in those eyes were surging Chu Yunsheng could see it clearly, she tightened her hand holding Brother Dumb's arm, and then said: "I still have important business, and then I will come to you, my aunt is very important to me, so, Brother Dumb, you must help me, I promise you, I will catch up with you soon." β
Xiao Yijun, who had been in a state of sadness and dazed on the side, came back to her senses when she heard the conversation between Chu Yunsheng and Brother Dumb, she looked at Chu Yunsheng with wide eyes and said suspiciously: "Ah Sheng, what are you going to do? Now it's so dangerous in the palace, let's go together!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng shook his head, and then said: " I still have some things to do, aunt rest assured, now that you are no longer in He Rong's hands, he will not be able to threaten me anything, not to mention that he may not be able to find out about me, you can rest assured, I will come back soon, but you, don't worry about these things anymore, just obediently go with Brother Dumb, Lanyi will take you to Master Yuanchen, you have experienced so much suffering together, don't care about this troubled world now, and leave the matter of defending the country to me, I will find out if Xiao He Wang is involved in this matter of my little uncle, if there isβ¦β¦ I will not be relentless. β
Especially when he said the last sentence, Chu Yunsheng's tone was already very cold, and even had a faint murderous aura.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yijun became more and more uneasy, she moved, turned to Chu Yunsheng, raised her hand and grabbed Chu Yunsheng's cold palm, and then said worriedly: "Ah Sheng, my aunt doesn't want you to take revenge, and I don't want you to shoulder any so-called responsibilities, these shouldn't be on your shoulders, aunt, as long as you are good, if you have anything to do, how can you let your aunt go to see your mother under Jiuquan, promise your aunt, go with your aunt, don't take any more risks, okay?"
Chu Yunsheng naturally wanted to go with her and Brother Dumb, but the jade pendant was too important to her, and she couldn't help but get it back.
Therefore, after sighing, Chu Yunsheng held Xiao Yijun's palm and said, "Auntie, don't worry." β
As he spoke, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes to look at Brother Dumb on the side, and then said, "Get rid of you, Brother Dumb." β
Hearing this, Brother Dumb's eyes crossed a trace of resistance, in his opinion, he definitely didn't want to be separated from Chu Yunsheng, let alone let Chu Yunsheng stay in this palace alone, he originally wanted to shake his head and refuse, but when he met Chu Yunsheng's firm eyes, Brother Dumb's resistance had to surrender, and finally he pushed the mask, then nodded, and said, "I'll come back." β
Although it was still a difficult three words, Chu Yunsheng had already heard the worry and unease implied in these three words, and also understood what Brother Dumb meant, and when he came back, he would immediately come over to pick her up after he sent Xiao Yijun to a safe place.
Therefore, after seeing Brother Dumb agree, Chu Yunsheng nodded hurriedly, and then sent his aunt to Brother Dumb's side.
This time, Brother Dumb didn't hesitate, he directly raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Yijun's waist, and then his body shook and disappeared.
And at this time, the Praetorian Guards, who were still searching not far away, had also arrived at this courtyard, and happened to see the figure of Brother Dumb when he left with Xiao Yijun, and they drew their swords and chased in the direction they left.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly flashed his figure and swept in the opposite direction.
The Praetorian Guards who were going to chase Brother Dumb saw Chu Yunsheng and hurriedly changed their direction and turned to chase Chu Yunsheng.
These Praetorian Guards were not bad, but they were still more than one level lower in front of Chu Yunsheng, and in a few ups and downs, Chu Yunsheng threw them off.
And after she got rid of these Praetorian Guards, she immediately turned around and turned to the direction of the courtyard where He Rong lived, thinking if she could sneak in and find the jade pendant before He Rong was drunk and didn't wake up.
It was the only way she could think of it now.
But this method is indeed too dangerous, because since these Praetorian Guards have been alarmed, it means that the news of his aunt's rescue has been transmitted to He Rong, and I believe that his subordinates will also find a way to make him sober up, and when she goes like this, it is tantamount to hitting the knife.
However, she really couldn't think of any other way besides this one.
After she swept along the palace wall and successfully avoided the waves of Praetorian Guards, before she reached the courtyard where He Rong was, she found that there were many archers in ambush around the courtyard, and there were many He Rong's secret guards guarding there in the dark.
The yard was now like a trap laid by a hunter, just waiting for her to pounce in.
Therefore, there is no doubt that even if He Rongjiu did not wake up, his identity as a beauty who was sent to the palace by Tian Wen before had been exposed.
She can't go to this courtyard again.
But what else can be done about this?
Looking at the guard posture outside in the open and in the dark, Chu Yunsheng hid in the shade of a tree next to a palace wall, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
After she circled around He Rong's courtyard, she didn't find any loopholes to exploit, Chu Yunsheng had to give up her plan to sneak into this courtyard to find Yu Pei, she was quietly exiting from the west gate, and just after coming down from the wall, she heard a few footsteps coming out of the corner in front.
Chu Yunsheng, who reacted very quickly, hurriedly dodged and hid in the bushes on the side, and at this time, the owner of the footsteps also walked out from the corner.
It turned out to be a few palace maids with meals brought by an old mother.
The old lady walking in front kept nagging: "You have to be steady." β
The taller one of the palace maids behind her cautiously asked, "Mama, why do you want us to deliver pastries in the middle of the night?"
When she heard this, Chu Yunsheng was stunned, and she only felt that her whole body was hot when she was hiding in the bushes.
Because she heard the word princess mentioned by the palace maid.
And where may there be other princesses in this Wei Palace, if there is one, it can only be He Yueying, the princess of Zhao who came from Zhao Guohe a few days ago!
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help pinching herself hard, just now the jade pendant was lost, her mind was panicked, she just wanted to find the jade pendant quickly, why didn't she think of going to He Yueying first, at least He Yueying is He Rong's own sister, on the surface, she is a princess who came to defend the country, even if He Rong wants to use her, but she can't restrict her freedom, he won't kill her, and he will imprison her.
And she can ask He Yueying to help her find the jade pendant when she goes to He Rong!
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng almost jumped out of the bushes excitedly.
At this time, the old lady who had just walked in front turned her head and glared at the tall uterine woman with many mouths and said: "What do you know, she is the sister of King Zhao, and she is the most respected princess of Zhao Kingdom, don't say that she wants pastries in the middle of the night, that is, in the middle of winter, we can't have any complaints if we go down to the river to catch fish for her to eat, in this palace, if you want to live longer, you have to control your mouth!"
Hearing this, the tall uterine girl who was reprimanded by the old lady pursed her lips and said nonchalantly: "What's the use of being pampered, when you come to us, you still don't stay alive and widowed?"
"Yingying!"
Hearing her say such a sentence, the palace maid holding the tray next to her immediately raised her hand and gave her an elbow, and then warned: "These words are not what those of us who are subordinates should say, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth, it doesn't matter if you are guilty, and in the end it will affect us sisters." β
"Yes, yes. β
Hearing the palace maid's reprimand, the other palace maids also echoed it.
Seeing this, the tall uterine girl finally had to shut up with a black face, but her eyes were already very dissatisfied.
Chu Yunsheng saw these in his eyes, and when these palace maids came out of that corner and were about to pass in front of her at the end, she felt a small pebble from the bushes, and then raised her fingertips and shot at the knees of the tall palace maids.
"Ouch!"
The moment Chu Yunsheng's stone hit the tall uterine girl, her body was stunned, and then the whole person fell to the side, and the tray containing pastries in her hand was also thrown to the ground by her, and finally rolled to the ground.
And she fell to the ground and groaned in pain: "Ouch, it hurts, my knee is twisted!"
Several palace maids on the side didn't like her in the first place, and when they saw her like this, they all accused: "Yingying, you haven't been on an errand in this palace for a day or two, why are you so careless?"
"That's it, look at you, you spilled all the pastries sent to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhao Guo, how can you tell us to send them over now? These are all ordered by Her Royal Highness Princess Zhao Guo herself, and if there is one less, they are all to blame!"
"That's it, that's it, we're all bothered by you. β
Seeing these palace maids blaming each other, the face of the old lady who had walked in front before also sank.
