Chapter 66: The Prince's Illness
On a cold night, the dew slowly condensed on the tips of the leaves, Chen Mengdie carefully followed Ah Huang with a bamboo basket, her shoes had been wet with dew, and the footwrap inside was sticky and wet, which made her very uncomfortable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The two of them evaded the patrolling guards and walked along the winding path towards the ancestral hall.
Outside the ancestral hall door was guarded by four tall guards, it was unrealistic to break in, Ah Huang lay on Chen Mengdie's ear and whispered: "You go in through the window next to you in a while, and I will sentry you outside." ”
"Can you do it alone?" Chen Mengdie asked worriedly.
"Of course it's no problem," Ah Huang patted his strong chest and swore an oath, "I'll hide in the grass outside the window for a while, and as long as you hear the frog crowing, quickly pack up your things and come out, but don't let people find out." ”
"Yes, I remember!" Chen Mengdie was about to step out, but Ah Huang grabbed her arm, Chen Mengdie turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"When His Highness is full, hurry up and pack up his things and come out, now there are more mosquitoes, I'm afraid they will bite me." Ah Huang squatted in the grass and looked at her pitifully.
"You can rest assured!" Chen Mengdie couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Then I'll go first." ”
"Be careful, good luck." Ah Huang made a cheering motion.
Chen Mengdie nodded, then got out of the grass, rolled to the window with the basket, and saw that there was no one around, so she turned over and entered the house.
The ancestral hall was filled with a strong smell of incense, Chu Ziyu was kneeling on the futon with his eyes closed and his posture upright, and the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors were placed on the table in front of him.
Because he traveled without permission this time, the king of Chu was furious, so he punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, and was not allowed to eat or drink water.
From noon to now, Chu Ziyu has not drunk a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice, but fortunately, he can barely survive after breakfast.
Chen Mengdie tightened her collar, and then touched the burden on the basket, fortunately, the food was still hot, if it was cold, those meat dishes would not be delicious.
Chu Ziyu's eyes were half-narrowed, and he saw Furong poke her head out from behind the pillar, and a pair of elf-like eyes looked around vigilantly, until he was sure that there was no one else around Chu Ziyu, and then leaned out from behind the pillar.
"Your Highness, Your Highness," Chen Mengdie beckoned to Chu Ziyu and lowered her voice, "I'm here to bring you food." ”
Chu Ziyu looked at her suspiciously, his body seemed to be glued to the ground, and he didn't move for a long time, in his impression, Furong was not so intimate.
Chen Mengdie lifted the thick burden on the basket, and a strong fragrance came to her nose, only to see that the basket was stuffed full, and even every gap was stuffed with sausages.
This must be Ah Huang's masterpiece, Chu Ziyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but he was just about to pounce, but a low voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, the guards on duty secretly brought you food." ”
Chu Ziyu hurriedly straightened up and replied: "I can't break the vows, if my father knows, he will definitely be punished again, you guys should stay outside, don't relax." ”
Chu Ziyu said it upright and swearing, and even Chen Mengdie, a bystander, couldn't help but believe it.
"Yes, Your Highness." The guard on duty suddenly became full of responsibility, and he turned around sharply, only to see that several of the brothers had a large meat bun in their hands, and they were eating with their mouths full of oil.
"Stop!" The guard on duty frowned and whispered.
The other three raised their heads and were stunned, wiped the oil on their faces neatly, hid the unfinished meat buns behind them, and stood up straight waiting for the lecture.
The guard on duty was silent for a long time with a serious expression, and suddenly swallowed his saliva with a grunt, and couldn't wait to say, "I also want to eat meat buns, is there anything else?" ”
"Yes, yes," the guard on duty pulled out a cloth bag and pulled out a large white bun, "but there is only one potato bun left." ”
"Don't talk about potato buns, even soil buns! Hurry up and bring it to you! The guard on duty was already hungry, so he grabbed the bun and devoured it.
Although there was a lively meal outside, the atmosphere in the house was a little weird, Chen Mengdie quietly picked up the bamboo basket, ready to escape, but was grabbed by Chu Ziyu by the back collar, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you going?" ”
"What can you do? You're not hungry, so of course I'll pack up and go back. Chen Mengdie blinked innocent eyes and said angrily.
Chu Ziyu stretched out his middle finger and flicked her brain, and said helplessly: "Are you stupid?" I'm bluffing them. ”
Chen Mengdie covered his forehead, which was red by him, and said dissatisfiedly: "You said with a righteous face, how do I know if it's true or not?" ”
Chu Ziyu patted her head gently, shook his head in the tone of the old master, and said, "You, stupid!" ”
"Okay, okay, I'm stupid, I'm stupid, right?" Chen Mengdie reluctantly admitted, and then urged, "Since you are hungry, then hurry up and eat, Ah Huang is still waiting for me outside, I wasted so much time just now, it is estimated that he is being bitten by mosquitoes outside all over his body at this moment." ”
Chu Ziyu picked up a crystal clear prawn and was about to eat it, but suddenly stopped at the edge of his mouth.
Chen Mengdie held her forehead with her left hand and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”
"For you to eat," Chu Ziyu handed the shrimp to Chen Mengdie's mouth and said with a gentle face, "Ah, open your mouth." ”
"You can eat it yourself, I'm not hungry." Chen Mengdie didn't look away, he was a little moved in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Chu Ziyu could still think of her when he was so hungry, it seemed that his heart was not bad.
Chu Ziyu insisted on putting the food to her mouth, Chen Mengdie was about to open her mouth, but heard him say: "Eat, you can eat every food, I'm afraid that someone will plot against me." ”
"Coward! There's no poison in it, don't believe I'll eat it for you! With that, Chen Mengdie tasted it, swallowed the last bite of beef with a grunt, Chen Mengdie spread her hands, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, right?" ”
Chu Ziyu saw that she was safe and sound, so he ate with confidence.
Chen Mengdie saw that although he ate very deliciously, his movements were very elegant, and he couldn't help but feel disdainful in his heart, this guy was definitely 100% difficult to serve, thinking that he would have to serve him for a long time, Chen Mengdie felt a little sympathetic to himself.
Ah Mao was leaning against the door and napping, Xue Xue dusted off the dust on the threshold with chicken feathers, she hammered her sore waist, raised her head and looked at the sky, the moon began to tilt westward, why haven't they come back yet? Someone must have found out, right?
Just thinking like this, but hearing a wail from outside the door accompanied by a clear and powerful slap, Xue Xue threw a feather duster and hurriedly ran out to look, only to see two eunuchs holding Ah Mao's arm on the left and right, and another palace maid attacked Ah Mao's cheeks left and right.
The palace maid had a lot of strength, and after a few slaps, Ah Mao's face was swollen, and a gorgeously dressed woman saw that the fire was almost over, so she motioned for the palace maid to stop.
"Say, where did His Highness go?" The woman squinted her eyes and threatened.
"The minions really don't know! Mother, please spare the minions! Mao begged for mercy.
"Lie! Keep playing! Fight until he tells the truth. When the words fell, the palace maid blew her sour palm, and continued to attack with all her strength.
Xue Xue hid behind the door and listened to the loud slap, and her heart trembled.
