Chapter 138: Ulterior Motives (1)
After speaking, Duan Chengcheng didn't dare to delay too much time, and the two separated on the spot and walked in the direction where they should go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the two left, in the alley next to them, a small vermilion snake poked its head from the gap in the wall, and its slippery figure wandered on the cold ground, gradually heading towards the direction of the Jade Palace.
In the kitchen of the Jade Palace, several palace maids are passing lunch to the main hall, although she is a newcomer who has just entered the palace, she is a beauty sealed by the emperor himself, and she does not dare to slack off.
"Yikes! There are snakes! A little maid screamed, and she was frightened by a small red snake that slipped down from the base of the wall, and took two steps back, and almost threw the plate in her hand.
"Where?" Another little palace maid also came, but she didn't see the shadow of the snake for a long time.
The frightened palace maid looked at it, and the little snake suddenly disappeared, "Huh? I was still there just now......"
"What are you talking about, how can there be such an infiltrating thing in this cold day, you must be in a panic." Another little palace maid said eagerly: "Let's pass the meal quickly, lest we be blamed by the new master for a while......"
"yes, yes, let's go." As soon as the palace maid heard this, she immediately came back to her senses, and took care of her errand first, this new beauty was notoriously bad-tempered, and she had to be careful at all times.
The meal in the front hall has almost spread, but the beauty who was just sealed a few days ago is in the inner hall, dressed in red and enchanting, with a graceful posture and white muscles and bones like snow.
A small red snake spitting out a letter crawled through the crack in the corner of the wall, came to her feet, and crawled down her smooth calves to her hands.
She put her slender and slender fingers to the mouth of the little snake, and the little snake got the permission of its owner, and bit it, sucking the sweet blood frantically.
"You dare to do anything you are not sure of, Master Duan, you are too anxious......" The woman chuckled, and then put the fed little snake into a blue and white small ding, "We have the same goal, and I will reluctantly help you once today." ”
At this time, a young maid had come to the door of the inner hall and waited, and she said, "Girl, it's time for lunch." ”
"No need, help me bathe and change clothes immediately, I want to go to ......the palace for a walk," she said with a smile.
"Yes." The little palace maid blessed her body, and then began to prepare.
In another place, Duan Qingcheng stood outside the imperial study with an indifferent face, but she had no confidence in her heart, how should she let Gong Ling stay in other palaces?
Don't say she knows those concubines in the palace, she hasn't even seen them, and she doesn't know if they have them, so she can't really find two men to seduce him, right?
At this time, Gong Ling was summoning the two ministers in the imperial study, probably to discuss some political affairs, so before Gong Ling gave the order, she retreated very self-consciously. Anyway, she can hide if she can, and she can't leave immediately if she gets the relics, and she doesn't want to stay in a place like the palace for a moment......
At this time, the county lord of Lanke also came to the imperial study, and before he got closer, he saw from a distance that the guard who saved him that day was standing outside, hunting in white, cold and lonely, as if there was a little more chill than the ice and snow in the sky.
Gong Lanke was inexplicably a little cramped and uneasy, she slowly paced to a short distance beside Duan Chengcheng, and by the way, she glanced at the imperial study with the door closed, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, could it be that Brother Yu is here?
"Who ...... that" Gong Lanke glanced at her uncomfortably, "Let me ask you, who are the emperor and the imperial brother talking to inside?" ”
"See the county lord." When Duan Chengcheng saw the county lord coming, he saluted and replied, "It's the two adults of the military department." ”
"Ah...... It turned out that it wasn't Brother Yu......" she frowned in disappointment, and her delicate and lovely little face was full of displeasure.
"Brother Jade, what Brother Jade?" Duan Chengcheng was slightly puzzled, who was the county lord talking about?
"What's the matter with you?" Gong Lanke's cheeks flushed slightly, and she deliberately glared at Duan Qingcheng, "I won't tell you, hum!" ”
……
Facing the petty nature of this county lord, Duan Qingcheng was speechless in an instant.
But it's a relief to think about it, like the county lord, who has grown up in the palace for a long time and has never been in contact with the sinister world of the world, he has always been this innocent and willful appearance.
"Why didn't the imperial brother come here......" Gong Lanke was a little impatient and stomped on the spot with small broken steps, Brother Yu didn't enter the palace, and the imperial brother didn't have time to accompany her, she was almost stuffy.
The palace maid Xiao Wei saw that the county lord looked unbearable, for fear that she would trespass on the imperial study again, so she hurriedly retreated and blocked the way, lest she end up in a small black house and not given food.
When Gong Lanke saw Xiao Wei's reaction, she immediately smiled, and she said, "Xiao Wei, what are you doing, there are only two old men inside, I'm not interested." ”
"Nope! Yui has to be just in case. ”
"Xiao Wei, you look so stupid." Xiao Wei's self-sacrificing appearance made Gong Lanke giggle.
Duan Qingcheng stood aside and looked at the master and servant silently, like two children playing, she unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and actually smiled slightly, her indifferent coat was taken off, and there was a slight warmth.
It had been a long time since she had seen such a simple and stupid person.
As if sensing that someone couldn't help laughing, Gong Lanke turned her eyes and saw that the other party was also looking at her, her face was no longer indifferent, and the corners of her mouth seemed to have a faint smile.
Is winter coming to an end?
Her ears were hot, and her pink cheeks turned much redder. Seeing the white clothes with the wind, the cold and biting wind in winter seems to have the warmth of March.
"The county lord? Why is your face red again......" Xiao Wei was stunned when he saw the county lord, and he didn't know whether it was white or not. She followed the county lord's gaze and happened to see the white-clothed guard.
"Oh?" Xiao Wei seemed to understand everything, and smiled brightly, "It seems that the county lord is finally going to grow up, and it is estimated that you will not need to say a word about Brother Yu in the future, and a sentence about Brother Yu......"
"Y-What nonsense are you! The lord of this county has long since grown up! Gong Lanke was ashamed and annoyed, and quickly turned his back, "The county lord doesn't allow you to mention Brother Yu!" ”
Angered by Xiao Wei's words just now, her lovely little face couldn't help but turn even redder, this damn Xiao Wei was spoiled by her, and she couldn't clean her up when she went back for a while!
The palace maid Xiao Wei and Lan Ke were making a lot of trouble here, the door of the imperial study finally opened, and the two ministers who had gone in before had already come, and when they saw the county lord there, they all stepped forward to see the salute with interest, but the county lord just snorted, ignored them, and kept his back to the person and refused to face it, the two ministers are old ministers, and the temperament of the county lord is also clear, they did not delay much, and left one after another after seeing the ceremony.
"Lan Ke, why are you here again?" Gong Ling walked to the door, Fa Lanke stood outside the door, he couldn't help but feel helpless, this girl has always been running to him recently, for fear that Nangong Yu is coming and she doesn't know.
"Brother Huang......" She turned around obediently, but she lowered her head and didn't look at people, playing with the corner of her dress. (To be continued.) )
