Chapter 513: Re-entering the Tiger's Den
After those Praetorian Guards left, after Su Yun closed the door, he quickly turned around and picked up the pastries on the table that had been sent by the palace maids who had come with Chu Yunsheng before.
By the time Chu Yunsheng persuaded He Yueying to walk to her again, she had already figured out the medicinal powder she had hidden again.
"Girl, wait for me. β
While Su Yun was busy, he didn't forget to greet Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng nodded, sat down on the side, and seeing Su Yun so busy, she said softly, "There's no hurry." β
Hearing this, the movements in Su Yun's hand did not slow down, she shook her head and said, "I know the importance of that jade pendant to the girl. β
Speaking of the jade pendant, Chu Yunsheng fell silent again.
If it fell in He Rong's room and was picked up by him, what should she do?
Thinking of this, her heart ached, and she immediately fell into deep self-blame.
"It's okay, as long as it falls from him, we will definitely find it. He Yueying had already sorted out her clothes and mood at this time, she walked up to Chu Yunsheng and comforted Chu Yunsheng, although she didn't know the origin of the jade pendant like Su Yunsheng, but it was rare to see Chu Yunsheng so nervous and caring, and she could also imagine how important the jade pendant was to Chu Yunsheng.
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded, she turned her head, picked up the tea that was already cold on the table, and drank it in one gulp, only to feel that it was cold from her mouth to her heart.
It didn't take long for Su Yun to prepare it, she walked up to Chu Yunsheng with the medicine powder that had been prepared, and said softly: "Since the girl's current mask has been exposed, it can't be used anymore, I'll give the girl a new one." β
After Chu Yunsheng nodded, Su Yun leaned over and used the potion she had prepared in advance to remove the mask that Chu Yunsheng was wearing at this time, and then put the mask she had just prepared on Chu Yunsheng's face.
After she tossed upside down, Chu Yunsheng turned her eyes to look at the small bronze mirror that He Yueying had moved, and what appeared in the mirror was another ordinary and unfamiliar face.
This face is the same as before, too ordinary and ordinary, even if it is thrown into many palace maids, it is inconspicuous, but compared to the previous appearance, the eyebrows and eyes are a little more gentle and delicate.
When Chu Yunsheng saw it, she was very satisfied, she raised her hand and touched the mask that seemed to grow on her face, and said to Su Yun in surprise: "Su Yun, I found that your craftsmanship is really getting better and better." β
Hearing this, Su Yun's cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
He Yueying was also full of praise on the side.
Chu Yunsheng tidied up his clothes and hair again, and then said, "Without further ado, then let's go, just ......"
Speaking of this, she was afraid of stimulating He Yueying again, so she deliberately slowed down, and then said: " Since He Rong has sent someone to search here, he is ready for you to go to him, so at this time, you go to him to reason, it is not abrupt, he will not think that I will follow you and turn back, take a step back and say, if he finds out, I mean if, then please be sure to remove yourself, just say you don't know me, you are also in the dark, don't put yourself in order to save me and fall into a more passive situation, in this case, if I am arrested, there is no one who can save meγ β
Hearing this, Su Yun also nodded in agreement.
He Yueying saw that Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun had already decided, and there was no objection, she nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then let's go, the Praetorian Guards have already searched elsewhere, and the guards outside this hall have also changed their guards just now, no one will notice that I have one more palace maid and one less palace maid by my side, even if I do, there is such a big difference from the appearance of the female assassin they shouted to arrest before, no one will doubt it." β
As he spoke, seeing that Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun both nodded in agreement, He Yueying turned around and took the lead in lifting her steps and walking out.
Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun followed behind her left and right.
They went out of the room and out of the courtyard, there were guards along the way, but no one dared to stop them, until they reached the gate of the Furong Palace, the guards there blocked the way of the three of them, and when they heard He Yueying say that they were going to see the envoy of Zhao Guolai, they did not stop more, but sent an extra team of guards to follow, saying that it was to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the princess, but in fact they were just looking at her and escorting her over.
He Yueying didn't care about these anymore, she didn't care about these guards, and directly led Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun to the courtyard where He Rong was under the guidance of the captain of the guard in front.
There was a cool breeze along the way, Chu Yunsheng was wearing thin clothes, and he couldn't help but fight a few cold wars.
She has not recovered from the cold, and if she tosses like this at this time, she is afraid that it will be a little more serious.
Su Yun on the side had already seen what Chu Yunsheng was thinking by just raising her eyes, and at this time they were followed by Hu Weijun, so she couldn't communicate with Chu Yunsheng clearly, but she still stretched out her hand and took Chu Yunsheng's cold palm.
Chu Yunsheng looked back and smiled at her gratefully.
Along the way, Su Yun walked by her hand like this.
It wasn't until outside the Yunhua Palace where He Rong was that Su Yun let go of his hand.
Chu Yunsheng also lowered his head, and his eyebrows and eyes became more and more docile.
After going through the layers of guards, a guard finally came out and took He Yueying, Chu Yunsheng, and Su Yun to step into Yunhua Palace.
At that time, the Yunhua Palace was not the same as when Chu Yunsheng came before, at that time, although the palace lamps were lit in this palace, they were all three or five or two, which were not eye-catching, and the palace lights were more densely lit at this time, and there were brilliant lights everywhere.
He Yueying walked in front, and Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun followed silently behind with their heads down.
All the way as Chu Yunsheng came before, he passed through the corridor of the flower hall, and finally stopped outside the courtyard where He Rong was, and the guard made a gesture of invitation to He Yueying.
He Yueying was not polite, and directly lifted her steps and walked inside.
At that time, there were no less than dozens of palace lamps in the courtyard, and the entire courtyard was brightly lit.
He Rong's room was open.
When Chu Yunsheng stepped into this courtyard, her eyes had already swept towards the stone table that she had toasted He Rong before, and after scanning all over the stone table left and right, she didn't find anything, Chu Yunsheng turned her eyes and searched in this courtyard, however, the result made her very disappointed, because the entire courtyard was brilliantly lit, but she didn't see any trace of the jade pendant.
Well, that's all that's left to do.
The room where He Rong was.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He Yueying, who was walking in front, paused, turned her eyes to look at Chu Yunsheng, there was worry and comfort in her eyes.
But it's just a glance, after all, this is He Rong's territory, and there are He Rong's eyeliner everywhere, and a slight abnormality in their movements may reach He Rong's ears.
Immediately, He Yueying lifted her steps and continued to walk forward.
After she lifted her steps and stepped into the threshold first, He Rong's voice had already sounded from the room.
"It's so late, what are you doing. β
His voice was faint, not close or far, but not as gentle as before.
After He Yueying stepped in, Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun also walked in.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng saw that He Rong was only wearing a moon-white bedgown at this time, his eyes were slightly red, and his cheeks were still crimson, although he had already woken up after listening to the tone, his body had not yet eased up, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, rubbing his temples with his fingertips, and his eyes were a little colder than usual.
"Can't I come and see you? β
He Yueying took care of herself, found a chair in the room and sat down.
There was a hint of sarcasm and dissatisfaction in her tone, obviously with emotion.
And at this time, it happened that she came with emotions so that she would not attract He Rong's attention, after all, she came here to find him a theory after she was angry with He Rong, if she had a good attitude at this time and was easy to speak, then it would naturally make He Rong think more about the purpose of her coming here.
After He Yueying said such a sentence and found a place to sit down, Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun also turned behind her.
From the moment he entered the door, although Chu Yunsheng didn't dare to look around like he had just looked around in the courtyard, he had already swept all corners of the room with the corner of his eye.
However, this time, the truth still disappointed her, and even made her mood fall to the bottom.
Because there is no jade pendant in this room.
Then, there are only two possibilities left.
Either this jade pendant has been picked up by He Rong, or He Rong doesn't know about the jade pendant, but she fell off the way after she escaped from here until she met those palace maids.
Although the latter may be minimal, it is not ruled out.
Compared with being picked up by He Rong, Chu Yunsheng would prefer to fall on that road, because even if she fell outside and didn't know where she wouldn't, she could find it, but if she was picked up by He Rong, then it would be difficult to come back.
Here, she is making all kinds of speculations and thinking about her thoughts, but He Yueying over there has already met He Rong.
After hearing He Yueying's words, He Rong let go of the fingertips that were rubbing his temples, and turned his eyes to look at He Yueying, his eyes were as cool as promised, but his eyes were glowing with coldness, "What, now you have learned to talk to me in this weird tone of yin and yang?"
Hearing this, He Yueying was stunned, she didn't expect He Rong to ask about the sin first, in the impression He Rong was always with a fake smile, with gentleness, even if he was using her, his face would always have a hypocritical smile, and at this time he had already sunk his face.
Are you going to tear your face with her?
At that moment, He Yueying only felt a cold air rushing from the soles of her feet to the bottom of her heart, she subconsciously clenched the armrest of the chair carved by Pear Blossom, and then raised her eyes to look at He Rong and said, "Then brother, what tone should I use to talk to you?" Do you think it doesn't matter if a woman who has not left the cabinet is searched in her bedroom like this, and then I can sit down and laugh with you immediately? I'm sorry, I'm not you, I can't learn your disguise. β
Hearing this, He Rong sneered, the coldness between his eyebrows instantly disintegrated, and his eyes also carried a lot of tenderness, then stood up and walked towards He Yueying, and finally sat down on the chair next to He Yueying, and looked at He Yueying and said: " What should I do, but such a trivial matter, this is what King Xiao He meant, he has just dominated the power in the palace, so it is bound to make some famous names in the palace in order to establish prestige, and as for why I promised him, first, when he sent someone to pass the word, his tone was already a little tough, thinking about it, even if I don't want to, he is imperative, you know, although our Zhao State is strong, but in the end this is the territory of the country, we still have to listen to others, second, let them search in this way, and also clear the suspicion of our Zhao State, moreover, I know that our A-Ying is not a woman who sticks to red tape, but a search, If you look big, it will naturally be big, if you look small, it is a small thing, you are the princess of Zhao Kingdom, and you should also have a lot of mind and eyesight. β
If it weren't for the fact that before coming here, he had already seen He Rong's face clearly, I was afraid that when I heard his sincere words at this time, He Yueying would have believed it on the spot.
At this time, after seeing his face clearly, when she heard him say such a thing again, He Yueying only felt disgusted, and at the same time, a lot of doubts arose in her heart, because He Rong's attitude towards her was not as distant and cold as she expected before, on the contrary, although his eyes were cold when they met just now, there was a softer warmth between his eyebrows at this time than usual.
Such He Rong only made He Yueying think of a possibility.
That is, she still has value for He Rong, or in other words, in the things he is thinking about now, there must be a step to release her as a chess piece.
As for which step, she couldn't think of it, after all, he had planned to bring her and his relatives to Weiguo to find out the news for him, but later because of the help of God Killing, she missed the marriage date, and now that King Wei is dead, this marriage contract will naturally be stopped, so where else can He Rong use her place?
He Yueying was puzzled.
Chu Yunsheng, who was standing silently behind her, was also puzzled, He Rong was sitting very close to He Yueying at this time, so that Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a lot nervous, because every time, no matter how well she disguised herself, no matter what kind of face she used to appear in front of He Rong, he could faintly notice it, and even if he didn't notice it, he would feel something strange and notice her body.
This time, she was afraid that something like that would happen again, so since she entered this room, she and Su Yun together, the two of them stood behind He Yueying with low eyebrows, not moving, just like every timid and cautious palace maid in the palace of King Wei.
And it turned out that He Rong's mind was on He Yueying's body at this time, but he really didn't notice her.
However, she did not dare to take this lightly, she stood still, her eyes down at her toes, and her hands in her sleeves clenched her fists vigorously so that she could keep herself calm.
