Chapter 336: Blocking the Way
For a few days in a row, Xiaoyue came to report, except for Chu Zhaohui and Lu Mingzhu, who came back to see it twice, and inquired about some trivial matters in the house, even the prince did not return to the house, and I don't know if he lived in the palace with his wife.

Concubine Du was anxious, so she could only hide in her courtyard and kill time by taking care of the camellias. Occasionally, I would open the dark compartment behind the shrine to look at the copy of the letter, and then carefully place it inside.
pinched his fingers and counted carefully, it has been seven days since Ruyi left the house, and I don't know if this girl arrived in Caijiazhuang safely. Concubine Du didn't dare to inquire, only the Bodhisattva statue made incense every day, praying for the Bodhisattva to bless her wishes.
Concubine Xin was not worried about her loneliness here, and she was also worried about the secret behind the Buddhist shrine, so she came to see it twice.
Concubine Du knew what she meant, so she withdrew from everyone, and opened the secret box to show her the secret letter that was carefully hidden: "Sister rest assured, only the girl who is Ruyi knows that I am hiding something here, and now I have given her grace to go out of the house, and I will not let anyone in in this room when I am idle, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Concubine Xin nodded, and passed on the newly raised Xiaoyue question. Seeing that Xiaoyue is smart and willing to work, and she is also honest, she is also relieved to put her in Concubine Du's house. Because it was a leisure time at noon, he stayed here to eat with Concubine Du.
Tasting the thousand-page tofu boiled in vegetarian broth, Concubine Du took the opportunity to ask about Chu Zhaohui's movements: "I haven't seen my wife's movement for the past few days, is it because I want to live in the palace for a long time? ”
"There is no matter", Concubine Xin has been taking care of the middle feed for several years in a row, and she claims to have a long-term view: "No matter how much the Queen Mother loves her wife, she is a married daughter after all, and there is no reason to live in the palace for a long time." There are more socials outside the world, and it is not our turn to ask if I don't go back to the house occasionally. ”
Concubine Xin picked up a basket of simmered vegetarian ham, took a small half bowl of japonica rice, and said with a faint smile: "Today is fresh, the prince found someone to deliver the message, saying that he was going to feast in Canglang Xuan, and ordered to prepare two tables of banquets for him." ”
"The general has only been there for half a year, and the prince has already opened meat?" Hearing that Su Duhan was openly feasting guests in the mansion, Concubine Du was a little surprised, and asked with wide eyes.
"If you can't open the meat, how do I know?" Concubine Xin actually felt that Su Duhan's actions were unreasonable, but she was afraid that the wall had ears, and Concubine Du didn't dare to complain in front of her.
Concubine Xin could only shake her head with a wry smile, "It's just how he commands and how I prepare." Naturally, the small kitchen is prepared with vegetarian food and sent to the front. ”
Concubine Du knew that Concubine Xin was cautious, so she didn't ask anymore, and the two had lunch quietly and rested separately.
The sun was ten o'clock, because she had received the letter of Su Duhan's banquet guest, Concubine Du took a walk and waited on the path leading to Canglang Xuan. She stood behind a cluster of blooming oak flowers, covering her thin figure, and patiently waited for Su Duhan to pass by.
Seeing that Su Duhan was only ten or eight steps away from her, Concubine Du turned out from behind the flower. Under the slim ginkgo tree, she stepped forward and bowed her knees, boldly blocking Su Duhan's way.
"The prince, please stay, the concubine delays the prince for a while, and there are some things I want to say to the son", because it is in filial piety, Concubine Du is not wearing makeup, and the autumn-colored curtain is a little old-fashioned, and she is a few years older than her real age.
For these two palace maids, Su Duhan actually looked down on them in his heart, and always stayed away.
You remember meeting her girl two days ago, saying that Concubine Du was sick. Today, I saw that her cheeks were sunken, and she was indeed a little haggard, and I didn't know if she was healed.
I was afraid that I was too sick, and seeing that there was no one else around Concubine Du, and she didn't even bring out a girl, so she didn't know how to avoid suspicion, so Su Duhan added a little displeasure.
He took two steps back and frowned slightly: "I heard that the concubine is sick, so she should have a good life." If there is anything, now that the lady is not in the house, she will go to talk to Concubine Xin. I've been in the house for many years, how can I not know the rules?"
Concubine Du bowed down, her face was a little pale because of apprehension, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.
Her beautiful eyes were shining, shining like a pearl: "The matter of the concubine, Mrs. and Concubine Xin can't do it, so they can only come to ask the prince for mercy." ”
The two side concubines have been in the house for many years, and they are still peaceful. Although Su Duhan was impatient, he finally collected the perfunctory look in his eyes, and said coldly: "It's useless to look for me in the back house, the side concubine is so self-conscious." ”
As soon as she raised her legs, she wanted to bypass Concubine Du, but Concubine Du knelt down on the ground and gently grabbed the hem of Su Duhan's clothes, blocking his steps. raised a beautiful face and looked at him pitifully.
Although it is a secluded path, it is inevitable that someone will pass by. If he is seen by others, he takes advantage of his mother's absence in the house, but is entangled with his father's side concubine, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash it.
Su Duhan was furious, thinking that there was still something to do with Su Guangfu in front of him, and he didn't want to waste time on Concubine Du, so he raised his foot and kicked her: "You pull and pull, what kind of system do you become?"
Concubine Du was lying on the ground, still refusing to let go, but was even more stubborn: "The prince, the concubine really has something important, and she asks for the grace of the prince." Whether it succeeds or not, please listen to it and then talk about it. ”
Finally afraid of falling into the eyes and ears of others, Su Du's cold eyes were like frost, brushed away Concubine Du's hand, took a step back and said, "Concubine Fang let go of her hand first, get up and speak." ”
Concubine Du stood up, took out the letter that she had imitated for two days, made a nervous appearance, and presented it in front of Su Duhan's eyes: "Shizi, you take a look at this letter first." ”
After just one glance, Su Duhan recognized the origin of the letter, and Sen Leng's face swelled with murderous intent, revealing a slight chuckle: "What a boldness, you dare to trespass into your father's outer study?"
"The concubine doesn't dare", Concubine Du helped the ginkgo on the side to stand up. The ribs that were kicked by Su Duhan just now were hot and painful, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
She gritted her teeth and said carefully: "It was the day before yesterday that Mrs. led people to clean up the outer study, and the concubine inadvertently got it." ”
"Has my mother seen it?" Su Duhan's anger became more and more intense, he stepped forward and stared closely at Concubine Du's eyes, trying to find clues in the eyes of the trembling woman in front of him.
The lady didn't see it, only the concubine felt strange, and immediately put it in her sleeve. "Concubine Du heard Concubine Xin talk about the beginning and end of the matter, and she spoke very fluently.
The inner house was tidying up the warehouse, who accompanied his mother into his father's outer study, and what was going on inside, Su Duhan didn't know. I only heard that my mother was in the inner room at the time and didn't see it, and my hanging heart was half relaxed.
Glancing at the letter presented by Concubine Du again, Su Duhan shook it indifferently, took the letter in his arms, and had no intention of returning it half a cent.
