Chapter 51: Illusion (Second Update, Seeking Collection)
When the sunlight lazily sprinkled on the earth, there was a sound in the firewood room of the Three Kings' Mansion.
Lu Chengxuan stumbled to his feet while stroking his aching brain, and was shocked to find that he was in a very unfamiliar environment. A small room was piled with stacks of firewood stacked neatly, and although the house was simple, it was also clean.
The body is always tired after a hangover, which makes Lu Chengxuan feel that his whole body is sore, and what is surprising is that at this time, there are two footprints on his body, and a piece of cloth that does not belong to him also appears in his hand. It stands to reason that even if he drank too much, he would not have woken up in this place, and it was even more unlikely that there would be two footprints on his body that he knew had been kicked out by someone.
Who kicked himself? What's the deal with the cloth? Lu Chengxuan pushed open the door while thinking, and the familiar scenery of the palace came into view. When I turned around, it turned out that the house where I was staying was a firewood room. Although I occasionally passed by the firewood house, I did not go inside to take a closer look, so it is no wonder that I feel unfamiliar with this house. But why did I wake up in the firewood room? Lu Chengxuan really couldn't understand who had this action for what motive.
The familiar car found his bedroom, and the maids and daughters-in-law were all startled by him when they saw Lu Chengxuan.
"See the prince." Even if everyone was confused in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask more, and one by one they lowered their heads, eyes, noses, noses, and hearts, and stood in place and didn't dare to come out.
After Lu Chengxuan gave a sigh of gratitude, he motioned for everyone to retreat, "Let's all go down and call Fu Bo over." "Fu Bo grew up watching himself, and he is very familiar with the affairs of the palace, and he is also very concerned about his own affairs. Call him over, and maybe you'll get the answer to your question.
Fu Bo came quickly, despite his age, his body was still strong, and every time it was about Lu Chengxuan, Fu Bo was always unwilling to be ambiguous, so this time Fu Bofu hurried over as soon as he heard Lu Chengxuan send someone to call him.
"The old slave sees the prince." Fauber bowed.
Lu Chengxuan helped Fu Bo up and said solemnly: "Fu Bo, how many times have I said it, you don't have to salute when you see me, why are you-"
Fu Bo said earnestly: "Lord, the ceremony must not be abolished!" ”
didn't want to argue with Fu Bo on this topic, Lu Chengxuan immediately told Fu Bo that he was sitting alone in the Pillow Fang Pavilion yesterday and drinking, but somehow he woke up in the firewood room today, and there were two more footprints and a rag on his body.
"Firewood room, footprints, rags. Lord, can you let the old slave see the rag? ”
Hearing this, Lu Chengxuan handed the rag in his hand to Fu Bo.
Fu Bo looked at the rag and touched and smelled it, and he didn't come to a conclusion after tossing for a long time, "Please also ask the prince to forgive the old slave for being incompetent, and the old slave can't see the origin of this rag." ”
"The two footprints on my body looked like a woman's footprints, and the rags looked like they had been ripped from a woman's clothes. The guards of the Three Kings' Mansion are all highly skilled in martial arts, and it is difficult for them not to notice if an outsider enters the palace, so I suspect that the person who kicked me and the owner of this rag are a woman, and a woman in the palace! ”
Fauber's face was slightly pale.
The sharp-eyed Lu Chengxuan naturally did not ignore the change in Fu Bo's complexion, and took back the rag in Fu Bo's hand, Lu Chengxuan waved his hand and ordered Fu Bo to step back, and took the cloth to the sewing room of the Three Kings' Mansion in person.
The reason why he is so concerned about today's matter is not because he is worried that someone is trying to kill him, but because Lu Chengxuan felt that he had seen Zhao Muxi in a trance last night when he was half drunk and half awake.
Or maybe last night's incident was just his hallucination, but as long as there is half hope, he will not give up. Lu Chengxuan clenched his fists, and his nails were almost embedded in the flesh. How good it would be if it was really her!
……
In the fragrant flower room, Lin Qing was carefully wiping the leaves of an orchid.
"Sister Qing'er." A voice as smart as a wind chime suddenly sounded behind Lin Qing's ears.
Lin Qing turned around, and what caught his eyes was An'er's face with a huge smile. The maids in the Three Princes' Mansion all have no surnames, so Ting Fang chose Lin Qing's name and removed her surname, and since then, there has been one less strange woman named Lin Qing in the Three Princes' Mansion, and one more rough maid named Qing'er.
"An'er, is there anything to do with me?" Lin Qing stopped the movement in his hand and asked softly.
An'er smiled very slyly, "Aunt Tingfang was summoned by the prince, and it is estimated that she will not be able to return for a while, taking advantage of the good weather, let's sneak out of the house to have fun." ”
"What?" Lin Qing looked at An Er with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect you to have such guts!" ”
An'er snorted playfully, "Sister Qing'er, you also underestimate me too much, don't look at my age, but I have someone to protect me in this palace." ”
Lin Qing was still curious about how such a simple and shallow person as An'er survived in such a treacherous place as the Three Kings' Mansion, it turned out that there was a backstage behind her.
"Okay, okay, you can count yourself as powerful, but don't mention this matter to others, if you are not careful, it is likely to cause you trouble!" Although curious, Lin Qing didn't ask An'er who was behind her. After all, this is also a private matter of the little girl, and she doesn't want to get too involved.
"I know this, I just think that Sister Qing'er is a good person to say this in front of my sister." An'er pouted, and her gaze at Lin Qing became full of interest, "Sister Qing'er, shouldn't she be scared so she doesn't dare to go out with me?" ”
"You little girl, you still stir up the law?" Lin Qing was about to pinch An'er's face.
An'er deftly dodged, covered her mouth and giggled: "Sister Qing'er, don't be afraid, if something happens to An'er at that time, An'er will protect you!" An'er patted her chest vigorously as she spoke.
In the end, Lin Qing still couldn't resist An'er to go out of the Three Princes' Mansion with her, the forces behind this little girl seem to be very simple, it stands to reason that no matter which high-gate mansion will not allow the maids and maids to enter and leave at will, but An'er didn't make much effort to let the guards guarding the door and the two of them release the Three Kings Mansion with just a sign.
After leaving the Three Princes' Mansion, An'er led Lin Qingqing to the lively bazaar with a familiar car.
Although the markets in the capital are similar to those in Muhe Town and Fengcheng, the bustle is not comparable to those two places. Lin Qing was also a young woman after all, always full of curiosity about new and interesting things, and after a while, she was attracted by the dazzling array of goods in the market.
An'er laughed so much that she couldn't even close her mouth.
In the crowded market, Lin Qing stopped and watched under a huge lantern, but she didn't know that Jiang Shao, who was dusty on the road behind her, was on his way to the Three Kings' Mansion. Lin Qing admired the lights with great interest, but Jiang Shao was concentrating on hurrying.
Neither of them looked back.
