Chapter 479: Not a coincidence
Chunxiao's voice was also faint, without a little emotional ups and downs, but Zhou was already unconsciously carrying a bit of the majesty of the superior.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng was still wearing a mask, and Chunxiao naturally didn't recognize her.
Chu Yunsheng didn't say anything, she stepped forward directly, and said in her original tone: "Chunxiao, it's me." β
As soon as she spoke, Chunxiao was stunned, and immediately after hearing her short words, Chunxiao completely lost the posture she had just now, she stood up from her position as soon as she moved, walked in front of Chu Yunsheng in a few steps, and looked at Chu Yunsheng with excitement on her face and said, "Girl?"
Although it is a question sentence, it already has an affirmative tone.
Chu Yunsheng nodded.
Chunxiao hurriedly turned his head to look outside the hall, making sure that there was no one outside, so he pulled Chu Yunsheng and walked inside, and said as he walked: "Why did you come here? Your Royal Highness the princess, how is she lately? β
Chu Yunsheng was dragged into the inner room by Chunxiao, and sat down on the chaise longue, Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, "We are all fine, don't worry, how is your health?" I just heard the palace maid outside that you are not in good health?"
Saying that, Chu Yunsheng was about to raise his hand to check Chunxiao's pulse, seeing this, Chunxiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, girl, it's just that Concubine Jing sent someone to add something to my refreshments in the past few days, so I look so weak." β
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng was stunned, thinking of Concubine Jing who was in high spirits here just now, Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and said, "She wants to murder you?"
Seeing Chu Yunsheng's angry appearance, the corners of Chunxiao's mouth raised, revealing a smile and said: "Girl, don't worry, it's all a small trick, I noticed it early on, it won't kill me, and I know that I still eat it." β
If Concubine Jing wanted to murder Chunxiao, this made Chu Yunsheng still figure it out, but knowing that Concubine Jing was going to murder her, she still ate the refreshment, which made Chu Yunsheng very surprised.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng's surprised expression, Chunxiao sighed, and then said: " This palace is full of high and low, even if there is no Concubine Jing, there will be other concubines to shoot, seeing that once I don't have the favor of King Wei, they want to kill me immediately, and I, I don't want to fight with them at all, I just want to be here quietly, no one will provoke, and I avoided Concubine Jing's refreshments today, the poison may go down to the meal tomorrow, down to the hands of the palace maids next to me, in short, instead of being poisoned in a place where I can't see and can't be guarded, it is better to drink this poison, so that they think they have succeeded, and the weaker my body looks on the surface, the more relieved they are, the same, The safer I am here, and the girl also knows, I also know some pharmacology, and I have a way to protect myself from Concubine Jing's poison, so I will calculate it, and the girl can rest assured. β
I didn't expect that there was such a thought as Chunxiao in this, Chu Yunsheng was amazed, but when she said this, she also put her mind at ease, and then said, "I came to you because I wanted to tell you." β
Seeing Chu Yunsheng's serious expression, Chunxiao also knew the seriousness of the matter, she immediately stood up and carefully closed the windows of the room, and then walked to Chu Yunsheng and sat down, waiting for Chu Yunsheng's words.
Chu Yunsheng told Chunxiao about the things he had seen before, the meeting between He Rong and Tang Duyun, and her speculations, and also explained the current state of General Wang Cheng and the things he had encountered before.
After Chu Yunsheng finished saying this, she felt a little dry, Chunxiao hurriedly and thoughtfully handed over the tea, and said, "So, what is the girl's plan next?"
Chu Yunsheng took a sip of tea, and then shook his head and said, " I don't know, I don't want to meddle anymore in the matter of defending the country, but I can't watch General Wang Cheng's life in danger and not help, and I also promised my aunt to save the life of King Wei, as for what the country has become in his hands, I don't want to care anymore, I don't know the details of He Rong's conspiracy, but it is definitely not simple for him to come to defend the king, and now I want to figure out his intentions, and I can only continue to follow behind them, I have already sent the news to my aunt and told her and Master Yuanchen to evacuate the capital of Wei Wang quickly, they left the place of right and wrong, and I have nothing to worry about, Either continue to stay here and figure out what He Rong is going to do, or if the situation is not right, just leave here like them, what I can't worry about now is you, Weiguo is already a thorn in He Rong's side, and this palace is even more unsafe, you have to think of a way out for yourself in advance, if you want to leave, I can help you and take you with me. β
Hearing Chu Yunsheng's words, a trace of loneliness crossed Chunxiao's face, she shook her head and said: "Why don't I want to leave here, although I have also grown up in this palace since I was a child, and I have seen too many deceits, but as a concubine, I have not been in this harem for a long time, but in this short year and a half, it has already made me tired, plus ......"
Speaking of this, Chunxiao sighed, her gaze turned from Chu Yunsheng's face, cast it on the windowsill, looked at the closed windowsill and said faintly: "I only knew that most emperors were affectionate, but I didn't meet them, so I always held a little luck, but now, I have completely died." β
She is obviously just at the age of flowers, but the words she said and the tone and demeanor when she said these words were like an elderly man who had seen through life and death, which made people feel extremely desolate.
Chu Yunsheng also felt extremely distressed, she subconsciously raised her hand and grabbed Chunxiao's palm, and the moment her fingertips touched her palm, she only felt that it was cold.
Perhaps, her heart is colder than these fingertips.
At that moment, Chu Yunsheng thought so.
With distress and a little disbelief, Chu Yunsheng looked at Chunxiao and said, "Chunxiao, aren't you in love with King Wei?"
Hearing Chu Yunsheng's words, Chunxiao was stunned, she immediately shook her head and denied it, but as soon as she turned her head, the tears that she had been holding back in her eyes slipped from the corners of her eyes, and happened to drip on the back of Chu Yunsheng's hand, and the opposite of the coldness of her palm was that the tears were extremely hot.
Chu Yunsheng was originally just guessing, with uncertain guesses, but Chunxiao's hasty denial and such a flustered demeanor at this time had completely confirmed her guess.
Chunxiao herself also knew how embarrassed she was at this time, her expression all fell in Chu Yunsheng's eyes, and when she thought of Chu Yunsheng's smart and keen mind, she gave up covering up, sighed, and then reluctantly admitted: "So what? I originally thought that he treated me differently, although there were concubines in the palace at the beginning, and there were also show girls who were selected from time to time, but I thought that it was okay for him to remember that it was mine in his heart, as an emperor, there would always be so much helplessness, and it would be impossible for him to put his mind on me, but as long as he treated me as the most special one, I would be satisfied, but...... Only now did I find out that for him, I am no different from those show girls and concubines, and my position can also be replaced, if there is really anything different, I am afraid that it is also because I have taken care of him by Her Royal Highness the princess over the years, and he also cares about this trace of friendship because of the guilt of Her Royal Highness the princess, plus the last time Her Royal Highness the princess happened, it also made me completely dead to him. β
Speaking of the last time, Chu Yunsheng's heart was cold again.
She naturally knew what Chunxiao was referring to, last time, it was King Wei who had murderous intentions towards her aunt, not only put her aunt under house arrest in the princess's mansion but also poisoned her aunt, and also wanted to kill Master Yuanchen completely...... Thinking of this, she felt more and more that she could not forgive King Wei, and never will.
However, although she didn't forgive King Wei, she still felt sorry for Chunxiao and Chunxiao who liked such a person.
Chunxiao turned her eyes, and when she saw Chu Yunsheng's distressed expression, she shook her head with a wry smile, then looked at Chu Yunsheng's eyes and said, " In the past, I thought that he was only because he was standing in this position, wanting to gain the approval of the courtiers and wanting to monopolize the power of defending the country, so he treated Her Royal Highness the princess like that, and I could forgive him, but I never thought that he would kill Her Royal Highness the princess...... Such a person, where is there still a little bit of what I like. β
Speaking of the back, Chunxiao's tone had unconsciously carried a bit of anger that hated iron and steel.
Chu Yunsheng could understand her mood at this time, but she couldn't find the words to persuade her for a while, she squeezed her cold palm with a little force, and said: "In that case, why do you want to hurt his mind again, now that the country is in trouble, you can protect yourself, in the future, what kind of life you want to live is in your own hands, no one can force you, what's wrong with this?"
Hearing this, Chunxiao glanced at Chu Yunsheng deeply, and then sighed: "How can it be so easy to go away and fly high." β
As she spoke, she moved her palm, broke free of Chu Yunsheng's fingertips, and then stood up, turned her back to Chu Yunsheng and said: " I just saw through his thin nature and affection, so, since this time I was grounded, I avoided him in every way, I just want to live this life in this palace, if I want to go, this harem is heavily guarded, how should I go, if the country is in chaos, then I will not be able to get out alone, I know that the girl is good to me, will not let me go, but I also know clearly how much risk it takes to take me out of here, I am already sorry for Her Royal Highness the princess and the girl, so now I can't drag the girl down, the girl still doesn't care about meγ β
Her tone was quite firm, however, Chu Yunsheng refused to give up, she immediately stood up, turned to Chunxiao and said: "We have all come over with so many hardships and obstacles, not to mention now, not to mention how you protected me and saved me before, even this time you saved my aunt and me for this kindness, I should also repay it, not to mention, we are still sisters, friends, aren't we?" Therefore, I will not leave you behind, there is no need to talk about dragging things between us, if you decide that you want to go with us and stay away from this place, I will try my best to help you escape. β
As if she was very surprised by Chu Yunsheng's words, a trace of surprise crossed Chunxiao's eyes, a trace of disbelief, she raised her eyes and stared closely at Chu Yunsheng, who was half a head taller than herself, and said in a daze: "Girl...... You still treat me as a sister......"
Hearing this, the tip of Chu Yunsheng's nose was inexplicably sour.
She knew that it was her previous indifference to Chunxiao that made her sad, but at that time she really didn't know that Chunxiao was silently paying for her aunt, she only thought that she was standing with King Wei, so she was so cold, and now, her aunt has told her the truth, and in the princess's mansion, she has seen Chunxiao's intentions with her own eyes, so where may she doubt her again.
Thinking of this, she felt ashamed of her previous misunderstanding of Chunxiao, and when she saw Chunxiao, who was excited because of what she had just said, her heart became more and more distressed.
"Naturally, good sisters for life, where can they say that they will be scattered. β
Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and promised loudly.
Hearing this, Chunxiao's eyes overflowed with tears again, but this time it was not as bitter as the last time, this time, there was a joyful smile in her eyes.
At this time, it was not early outside, Chu Yunsheng was thinking about Luzhu's side, and she didn't know if she was still waiting in the imperial garden, and she didn't know if Tang Duyun and Chu Yunyi had come out of the imperial study at this time, but seeing that the time had passed for so long, if she delayed it any longer, she was afraid that it would be even more difficult to explain, so after repeatedly telling Chunxiao, Chu Yunsheng decided to go back first, as for taking Chunxiao out of the palace, she had to wait until she went out of here this time to find Su Yun, and then make a plan.
After saying goodbye to Chunxiao, Chu Yunsheng quickly turned over and walked out of Chunxiao's dormitory, and then ran in the direction of the Imperial Garden, the more he went to the direction of the Imperial Garden, the more guards there were, Chu Yunsheng did not dare to rashly perform light skills, and could only walk with his head down against the palace wall, because there was a banquet in the palace tonight, and most of the guests present were with female dependents, so the Imperial Forest Army did not check her more, and only asked a few words casually, but seeing that she was indeed going in the direction of the Imperial Garden, no one stopped her.
Chu Yunsheng walked smoothly all the way to that side, seeing that she could see the imperial garden after turning another palace wall, and at this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the crescent-shaped arch in front of her.
