240. Master and servant

Third Update......

"I didn't expect it to be like that." Lu Sheng's voice was slightly hoarse.

From his expression, it could be seen that he was still a little uncomfortable at this time. It's not that I'm angry because of Qiao Cui's words, but because I held it for too long just now, Lu Sheng's kung fu foundation is actually a little inferior to Qiao Cui.

Qiao Cui sighed and said, "Things are a little troublesome, and now if we want to leave here, we must be more careful than staying here." Those three people seem to have discovered us, and the murderous aura on their bodies just now is approaching, if it weren't for the people who stayed in the courtyard, maybe they would have done it just now. ”

Lu Sheng was also a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "It seems that those three people came here deliberately, but I don't know what the intentions of the two masters in front of me are."

"That's all we can know, the opponent is too strong, we are slightly stronger than them, but this is the ability to escape at this critical moment." When Qiao Cui said this, there was a hint of powerlessness in his tone. But soon he said firmly: "Now we can rely on this strength, we must tell Mr. SΓΉ Lin as soon as possible."

Lu Sheng nodded, but at the same time, he said unconvinced: "Why do I think we seem to have come to the wrong place, it has been so long, and there is only one person in this old mansion." Did they live somewhere else?"

Qiao Cui shook his head and said, "If I hadn't seen those three people just now, I might have thought so, but now I'm sure that Mr. Lin's residence is here." If it weren't for Mr. Lin being here, what would be the purpose of the three killers outside the hospital?"

Lu Sheng didn't say anything for a long time, he already believed Qiao Cui's judgment like this, and at the same time, the worry in his heart became heavier.

After a moment of silence. He asked Qiao Cui without any opinions: "Then now are we going to go or stay?"

"Let's go first." Qiao Cui's answer was quick, and it seemed that he had been prepared. He paused and added, "We need to be well prepared to be able to help." Let's take a look at the things you brought out of the group, in order to catch up with you along the way, my body has been a little bit depleted, and I need to slow down a little. ”

Lu Sheng also had a few second-group missions, although this kind of experience was not much, but he could fully understand what Qiao Cui meant. I'm here at this point. Maybe it's just a waste of time, so it's better to leave first and find an inn to rest and prepare for a long lurk tonight.

Qiao Cui, who once left the name of "Swift" in the second group, said that he would naturally have a little more rest.

……

The new policy of Zhaoguo continued the three-character national spirit of "benevolence, filial piety, and courtesy" in the previous week, in fact, this should not be completely continuation, because these three things are in any era. There is a need for continuation. In short, although many good things have been chosen by the new king to inherit now, no matter what some people say about him, it seems a bit faceless.

In the harem, the observance and implementation of 'filial piety' are particularly prominent.

Available today. Wang Hong, the second prince who has always been going to Xiaohuai Palace on time to say good morning to Concubine De, was suddenly absent today. Although not long after the second prince disappeared, there were palace people from Huayang Palace who came to Xiaohuai Palace to deliver the news that the second prince was sick, Concubine De still went away in person.

This is a retrograde between generations, although Concubine De used to be like this as a mother concubine, when it should have been the time when the second prince asked her to say goodbye, and in turn visited the second prince, but when Concubine De arrived at Huayang Palace, in addition to serving carefully, the palace people would still have a trace of emotion in their hearts.

Of course, the feelings that can resonate with these outsiders. They must have been involved. I have to say. The friendship between Concubine De and the second prince who usually stays in the palace has diluted the distinction between many masters and slaves. Among these palace people, there are still some eunuchs and palace maids left in the court of the previous dynasty, and compared to the Na clan who lived in the forbidden palace for decades in the previous dynasty and seemed to have no other hobby except to use the body of a slave for fun, this new monarch and his family are indeed much friendlier. It makes them even more grateful in their hearts.

When the capital was rebuilt, the new monarch gathered all the eunuchs and palace maids in the forbidden palace together and promised that those who were willing to go home would never be forced to stay, and they would also give some entanglements to the returning palace people. At that event, the palace people left a batch. The group that stayed behind was either because of the war, their homes were destroyed, and they had to sell themselves on the black market to take the opportunity to enter the palace; Either they are older palace people who have lived in the palace for too long and have become out of touch with the lives of ordinary people. It's not that these people don't want to go home and live a poor but independent life, but they have no choice.

Such a group of people, if they live in an oppressive and painful environment as before, may easily become extremely emotional and do things against the Lord. But they are also poor people, and as long as someone can give them a little favor and forgiveness, most of the time, they will be able to respond to their needs. At the same time, the master who can bring them good hope in life, they naturally hope that such a master can live well.

Just as Concubine De has always taught the two palace maids who are close to her: the subordinate has resentment in his stomach, and the waiter is easy to be unsatisfied, on the contrary, it can be a pay, a lot of reward.

It is rare for a master to be generous, but a generous master does not necessarily have a generous servant. For the two close-up palace maids who sometimes speak on behalf of their own mouths, Concubine De has always been disciplined by her own self-cultivation standards.

Not long after entering Huayang Palace, Concubine De got up and went back.

The second prince's physical weakness is not a matter of a day or two, and she can't help much if she stays here, and the palace people have to free up their hands to serve her, and the second prince can't rest well. She is not a doctor, she just came to see if the second prince's condition was strict, so as not to miss anything.

After returning to Xiaohuai Palace, Concubine De walked to a stone table in the courtyard, sat down on a rattan chair with soft silk wool cushions, scooped up the table and didn't pick it up, half of the pattern was embroidered just now, but she didn't move the needle again.

The palace maid Cuichun came over with the freshly brewed flower tea, gently put down the teacup, she saw Concubine De looking at the half-finished embroidery in her hand and was slightly distracted, and after a little hesitation, she said: "Niangniang, are you still worried about the body of the Second Highness?"

Concubine De tilted her head, her eyes moved away from the embroidery in her hand, and fell on Cuichun, but she didn't speak.

Cuichun was a little weak by her seeing it like this, so she hurriedly lowered her head, and when she spoke again, her voice was also a little lower: "Niangniang can actually be relieved, His Royal Highness has been recuperating well in recent years, and his body has become much stronger than before."

"Hmm." Concubine De nodded, put the embroidery in her hand on the stone table, and then spoke: "Cuichun, you step back first, the palace is smiling, and I want to be quiet for a while."

Cuichun hurriedly bowed his head and walked away.

Not long after Cui Chun left, Qing Xia, another close palace maid of Concubine De, walked in from outside Xiaohuai Palace. After she entered the door, she first turned around and looked around outside the walls of Xiaohuai Palace, as if to check if anyone was following, and then she closed the door, and then approached Concubine De and bowed down.

Concubine De, who was closing her eyes and recuperating from her mind, opened her eyes at this moment, and said a little abruptly: "How could the second prince suddenly feel sick?"

Qing Xia stood up on his own, and took over the conversation directly after ignoring the etiquette: "Because he left the palace yesterday evening, as usual, every time he leaves the palace, he will be sick the next day."

The expression on Concubine De's face did not mean to be polite with Qing Xia at all, and she said in a natural tone: "So, this time you lost it again?"

Qing Xia quickly replied: "The people at the hands of the Second Highness are getting stronger and stronger, and this time they brought four people. The maid followed them to the south of the city, and watched them from a distance near the garbage mountain, but what they did, the maid did not know. ”

Qing Xia's tone of reply was firm and high-pitched, not only because she was a martial arts practitioner and her voice was full of anger, but also because of her temperament. Qing Xia has been firmly using all her abilities to do things for her master, but she has a clear conscience, but even if she doesn't achieve a perfect result, she won't whisper some words of pleading that have no practical effect, if the master wants to punish, she will claim it.

This is also where Concubine De admires her. There have always been only two places for the close servants domesticated by Concubine De, one of whom is responsible for life, and the other is a person like Qingxia who has a good kung fu foundation. Following the death of the last palace maid who was responsible for running errands outside, Concubine De chose the vacancy of Qingxia Dingqiu, Qingxia has been in this position for more time than the previous one, and Concubine De trusts her very much, so there are some etiquettes, and they are casually exempted when talking alone.

For this close-quarters palace maid who often runs inside and outside the palace, Concubine De doesn't want to stumble on the steps of improving her ability because of too much etiquette, and break her heart, who is called Qingxia, these two things on Concubine De are more and more liked and appreciated by Concubine De

Concubine De repeated Qing Xia's reply just now in her heart, and suddenly muttered: "The few times I can find out in the past, Hong'er went out of the palace and brought two people, but this time she brought four people, which is a bit strange."

Qingxia hesitated for a moment and then said loudly: "If Niangniang has needs, Qingxia can do her best, and she can also see the end up close."

"No." Concubine De waved her hand, "You didn't do anything wrong today, if you continue to follow to the end, maybe you will be left behind last night, and you will have to be tortured again." Speaking of this, Concubine De's eyes softened, "If you fall, I will be reluctant and sad." ”

Qing Xia's eyes couldn't help but be slightly hot when she heard this, and she lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Then Qing Xia will protect her life first, and when the mother needs it, she will do her best."
