Chapter 229: Exploring Chu Mansion at Night

"Yanchen, follow me to the room, there are more refining methods and antidote methods for the seven insects and seven flower poisons we talked about last night, we will continue tonight." Yu Huang had just finished dinner and stopped Ning Yanchen.

"Yes, Master." Chu Xiangwan, Xiao'er and Jie Ran had already walked out of the door, Ning Yanchen wanted to go out with them, there were some things he wanted to tell Chu Xiangwan, but there were many people in the hall, he wanted to go out and talk about it, but Yu Huang spoke up, he just glanced at the direction in which Chu Xiangwan went out, and then turned around and walked to Yu Huang's side.

Chu Xiangwan and Xiao'er went back to the room separately, she waited for half an hour to see that the time was almost up, so she changed into a set of clothes and waited for Xiao'er in the room.

After a while, there was finally a knock on the door, and Chu Xiangwan pretended to be careless and asked, "Who?" ”

"Sister, open the door." Xiao'er said softly.

Chu Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief, she stepped forward to open the door and said, "Xiao'er, why are you here?" ”

Xiao'er walked into the house quickly and replied: "My mother just talked to me for a while, and it was delayed, let's go quickly." After speaking, he pulled Chu Xiangwan and quietly went out.

Xiao'er is different from Chu Xiangwan, she doesn't have so much worry that she doesn't leave home, in the past few months in the Innocent Villa, she has already felt the road here, when there are people and which road there are, she knows it clearly, so it only took half an hour to take Chu Xiangwan out of the villa.

Out of the villa, Xiao'er took Chu Xiangwan to the nearest horse farm in the villa, which was actually the property under Ning Yanchen's name, now it was too late, and the horse farm keepers had already rested, Xiao'er took two horses out without much effort, fortunately, Chu Xiangwan had practiced equestrianism well in the years of the Huns, and the two immediately got on the horse and went to the city.

About two teas, the two arrived at the door of the Chu Mansion. Tethering the horse to the side of the alley, Xiao'er took Chu Xiangwan to prepare to climb over the wall and enter.

"Hey, you come with me." Chu Xiangwan grabbed Xiao'er and pulled her deeper into the alley, there is a small door here, which is the back door of the Chu Mansion, and during the day, some peddlers and pawns who deliver melons and vegetables send things into the Chu Mansion from here, and there is no one at night. Chu Xiangwan gently pushed open the door, but she found that her breathing was a little stagnant, she had never set foot here since she married into the East Palace, and now that she came back suddenly, she inevitably felt nervous and excited after a long absence.

The house was very quiet, Chu Xiangwan walked to the door of Chu Huaifeng's room gently, and couldn't help but wonder, Daddy has always been reading and practicing calligraphy in the study at night, why does it seem that there are other women's voices in the room now.

Knocking on the door with a trembling hand, the laughter of the woman in the room did not stop, but Chu Huaifeng was heard shouting loudly: "Didn't you say don't come to disturb, who is so ignorant of the rules?!" ”

Chu Xiangwan's hand paused: Daddy's tone - why did he become so irritable?

Seeing that there was no echo outside, the people in the house also seemed to feel that something was wrong, so they immediately stopped laughing and walked over to open the door.

"Who are you?" It was a woman who opened the door, and when she saw Chu Xiangwan, she asked curiously, it seemed that she was still a little arrogant.

Chu Huaifeng in the house also came out, and the moment he saw Chu Xiangwan, his eyes widened, and he suddenly froze in the moment.

Chu Xiangwan thought that Chu Huaifeng was too surprised to say anything when he saw her at first glance, so she stepped forward and said, "Daddy, my daughter is not filial, and I didn't come back to see you until now." ”

"What did you say?" Chu Huaifeng shook his eyes again when he heard this.

Xiao'er stood aside and glanced at Chu Huaifeng strangely.

"Daddy, don't you recognize your daughter?" Chu Xiangwan also wondered.

"Oh kid, you're finally back, come in." Chu Huaifeng's voice finally became excited, and there seemed to be some tears in his eyes.

"Yes, my daughter is back." Chu Xiangwan's voice was also a little choked.

"Sister, let's go in and talk." Xiao'er reminded Chu Xiangwan on the side.

Chu Xiangwan came back to his senses and took Xiao'er into Chu Huaifeng's house.

"Daddy, this isβ€”" Chu Xiangwan looked at the woman who opened the door just now and asked suspiciously. Chu Huaifeng has always checked the affairs of men and women, and he has been missing his deceased wife to this day, how could he still play with a woman in the house late at night, this is really not like Chu Huaifeng's personality.

Chu Huaifeng's face was full of embarrassment, and he coughed twice to explain: "After you left, I resigned and returned home, and my health became worse day by day, if it wasn't for Gui'er's care, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait for the day when I saw you again." ”

That Gui'er was also obedient, and she immediately followed: "The slave went down first." ”

"I see, it's the daughter who is not filial, and she hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a child for a day after ten years, and her father has someone to take care of, so the daughter can rest assured." Chu Xiangwan felt deep guilt in his heart at this time, and a trace of doubt in his heart was suppressed because of guilt.

"Xiang Wan, this girl next to you isβ€”" Chu Huaifeng asked.

"Oh, this is Xiao'er, she is like my own sister, she takes care of me a lot outside." Chu Xiangwan shook Xiao'er's hand.

"Son, where have you been all these years? Since you have returned to Beijing, why don't you go back to the palace? Chu Huaifeng walked to the table and sat down, leaned on one side and asked.

"Daddy, daughter-" Chu Xiangwan paused and continued, "I won't go back to the palace in this life." ”

"But you are the imperial concubine after all, and you have been living abroad for so many years, don't you want to be the second prince?" Chu Huaifeng asked.

Without waiting for Chu Xiangwan to speak, Chu Huaifeng said again: "Since you don't want to go back to the palace, it's better to stay in the palace first, wait for the right time, and it will be convenient for your father to take care of you." ”

Chu Xiangwan hesitated for a moment and said: "Daddy, if I live in the mansion, sooner or later the emperor will find out, and it will definitely affect you at that time, and in a few days, things may take a turn for the better." ”

"Xiang Wan, what do you mean?"

"I can't explain it to you now, it's late at night, take care of your health, I'll come to see you another day." Chu Xiangwan got up and walked out the door.

"Xiang Wan, you wait, you can at least tell your father where you live now." Chu Huaifeng got up and stepped forward to ask.

"Uncle, my sister has me to take care of, you don't have to worry." Chu Xiangwan just wanted to speak, Xiao'er squeezed her hand, rushed forward and said to Chu Huaifeng.

"Daddy, you don't know where I am staying, but it is safe, don't worry, I will come to see you again."

"This ・・・・・・," Chu Huaifeng said as he seemed very worried.

Without waiting for Chu Huaifeng to speak again, Xiao'er took Chu Xiangwan's hand and left in a hurry.

As soon as Chu Huaifeng closed the door, he heard the sound of a fight in the courtyard, and when he opened the door again, Chu Xiangwan and Xiao'er were surrounded by a group of black-clothed people who fell from the sky in the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
