Chapter 9 Banquet at Hongmen
() The cuttlefish smiled slightly, with apologies in his tone, "Gu Changzai has a good intention, I thank you here first, but my body is too useless, and my illness has recurred, so I really can't go to the appointment, or wait for me to get better, and then visit Gu Changzai in person." β
The cuttlefish can eat, drink and sleep, and is so healthy that it can be alive all day long, and it can't be seen that she is a little sick, what she said just now is obviously an excuse made up, Caiyun is not stupid, of course you can see it.
Although he was politely refused, Caiyun didn't intend to stop there, "Forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, your palace is too deserted, even if you are not sick, you have to be suffocated out of illness, it is better to go out and walk around more, which is good for the body." β
"What are you talking about? No matter how bad my Changchun Palace is, I can't fall to the point of being disgusted by you, you are a palace maid, how dare you speak wildly here? The cuttlefish was slightly stunned, she could hear that Caiyun's words were a little ridiculous, and her heart was suddenly unhappy.
Who is the master and who is the slave in the Changchun Palace, Caiyun knows it, even if the cuttlefish has already raised the shelf at this time, she has no fear at all, but she looks more respectful.
"Su promised to really blame the slave maid, the slave maid is thinking about you, I was in a hurry just now and said the wrong thing, don't take it too seriously. Your body is more important than anything else, since you feel uncomfortable, then the slave will go and ask a doctor to take a good look at you......"
Doctor, please? The cuttlefish hurriedly shirked it, "I'm sick of the old problem, so I don't need to bother the doctor." β
"You are the emperor's concubine, how can there be a reason to be sick but not to see a doctor, if Gu Changzai knows, he will definitely report to the emperor, and let the emperor invite you to invite a good doctor with excellent medical skills, and then your old problem may be cured, and you can go out with my master in the future."
If you don't go, with Gu Changzai's style, maybe you can really alarm the emperor, and then invite the imperial doctor, and you will be exposed.
The emperor came up to press her, which naturally worked, the cuttlefish did not speak, just stared straight at Caiyun, Caiyun did not dodge, and still smiled at the cuttlefish without changing his face, looking confident.
The cuttlefish drummed in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd of Caiyun, but in any case, judging from the current shape, she had to go to Zhong Cui Palace. Let's go, anyway, Gu Chang is not the only one in Zhong Cui's palace, is it possible that she can be wiped out in broad daylight, even if the Gu family is arrogant, he will not dare to kill people in his palace.
"It's just a minor illness, how dare you go to tell the emperor? Your master is really gracious, why don't I go with you and meet Gu Changzai in person so that she won't worry about me anymore, so that others can know that I am not pretending to be delicate, and I am suspected that I am not easy to get along with. β
After hearing this, Caiyun stepped forward and grabbed the cuttlefish's arm, and said with a smile: "You are not in good health, let the slave and maid help you, let's walk slowly for a while, but you have to be careful about the road under your feet." β
Why does that sound a little awkward?
The cuttlefish didn't bother to ponder the meaning of Caiyun's outside the painting, her mind was all on how to deal with Gu Changzai, Caiyun was just an errand runner in her eyes, and she couldn't do anything big.
Zhongcui Palace and Changchun Palace are one east and one west, and the distance between them is a little far, and you will not be able to walk for a while and a half. Caiyuntiyì passes through the Imperial Garden, where you can enjoy some beautiful scenery and avoid the hot midday sun.
This is exactly what the cuttlefish wants, just now she had a full meal on the delicacies, she still feels that her stomach is swollen, and she is a little panicked, if she can take a walk in the imperial garden, she should be consumed, so as not to get Gu Chang to burp two full with one mouth in front of her, which makes people laugh.
Walking on the road, Caiyun lost the ability to speak just now, only his hand tightly held the cuttlefish, as if he was afraid that if he let go, the cuttlefish would fall.
The cuttlefish secretly speculated that what would be waiting for her after entering the Zhongcui Palace, a stinking scolding with a head and a face? Or is it a chilling intimidation? or a whipping, so that she can suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, so that Gu Changzai can be angry.
In any case, it is impossible for a good tea to serve a good student and entertain her, so that she can really be a guest.
But it's also strange to say, as long as Gu Chang was there, the cuttlefish felt like a great enemy before, and he was afraid of it, but today he was about to send himself to the door, and the cuttlefish was no longer afraid, and it was a little more relaxed.
What should come is still coming.
The time has come eventually. After this hurdle, there is no need to worry about it in the future.
Cuttlefish and Caiyun have their own hearts, unconsciously have walked to the lotus pond in the imperial garden, this is not the season of lotus blooming, can not see the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers in the sun. However, this is also the Imperial Garden, the emperor's favorite place, even if there are no lotus flowers, there is still a pool of clear lake water for people to enjoy.
The surface of the lake is calm, like a mirror, clearly reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, red flowers, green trees, and countless dazzling spots of light dancing on the water surface when the sun shines.
The cuttlefish suddenly felt some pain in her arm, and Caiyun's hand increased its strength at some point, grabbing her to death. Break free a little, but it didn't work, and if you try to break free, it still doesn't work, but it makes Caiyun work harder.
The cuttlefish had no choice but to speak, "Caiyun, I don't need you to hold me, I can walk by myself, you can take your hand away." β
The clouds did not respond.
As soon as the cuttlefish turned her head, she was met by Caiyun's fierce eyes, which frightened her heart. What's going on? Caiyun seemed to have changed into a different person, his eyes were vicious, and he completely lost the slave appearance just now.
"Su promised, the slave maid will send you here, and you will have to go by yourself for the rest of the road." Caiyun said coldly, his tone was yin and yang, and it was uncomfortable to listen to.
The cuttlefish was puzzled, "You're not going with me?" Is this Gu Chang explaining, or do you have other arrangements? β
"Of course I arranged it myself!" Caiyun made a loud sound, followed by a burst of wild laughter, leaning forward and leaning back in an exaggerated manner, "You don't really think that Gu Changzai will invite you, hahahahaha, it's really self-conscious, even you are a cheap maid who is qualified to sit with the concubine?" You can fool others, but you can't fool me, you are the palace maid cuttlefish! β
The cuttlefish didn't expect Caiyun to say such a thing, so he realized that Caiyun had been acting from beginning to end, and had been pretending to be presentable, just waiting for all the seizures at this moment to reveal her true identity. But what is the purpose of all this painstaking effort? It wasn't to humiliate her to vent his anger.
"You already knew that I didn't Su agreed, why did you pretend to be here just now and trick me into coming here? I have never offended you, so why should you be forced to do so? The cuttlefish took a deep breath and asked Caiyun loudly.
Caiyun sneered twice, and a murderous aura welled up in his eyes, "It's rare to see a loyal and stupid maid like you, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, ask Lord Yama to go!" β
Caiyun said, grabbed the cuttlefish's arm and pushed it hard under the lotus pond!
