Chapter 384: Shadows
A pair of skillful hands carefully peeled off the shell of the pumpkin seeds fried with spices, and stored enough calendula to save enough weight, Xinghu respectfully handed it to Chu Zhen'er, who was lying on the chaise longue to enjoy the coolness.
"That Chi Lian has now subdued the Fa, and the mother can sit back and relax. I heard that the thief still wanted to resist at that time, and he didn't want to be tied by Li Qian's old horseman's cold sword behind his back. β
Picking up a peeled pumpkin seed kernel and putting it in the sandalwood mouth, Chu Zhen'er leisurely fiddled with his dankou dyed with impatiens juice, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became lighter.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and Li Qian's sword is also a wise self-preservation. After all, Chi Lian lurks in the court under the name of Li Shaoyin, and he is unaware of it as a father, so he wants to do something to show that he has no heart for a chaotic minister and thief. β
"Chilian's thief is also a mud that can't be pasted on the wall, and the mother gives him a way to live, but to wear it to death; Now that this happy event has become a funeral, not only is the Taishou Mansion implicated, but the bride has also died in vain. β
Speaking of which, probably because they are both women, Xinghu felt a little sorry for Zhang Xiaorui's move to go to the same place.
"People's paths are chosen by themselves, and they can't complain about other people's cruelty. As a chess piece, if it is not laid out according to the will of the chess player, it can only be abandoned. β
"Niangniang said very much, Chi Lian is too ignorant of lifting; His evil deeds in the past, I am afraid that after death, he will inevitably be whipped and his body will be flogged, and his bones will be scattered. β
Thinking of such a bleak end, Xinghu was also nervous, the ending of Chilian was an invisible warning, and the flowers were not as bright as before.
And Chu Zhen'er, who has been up and down in the harem for many years, how can Xinghu's little thoughts escape her eyes? The corners of the lips are curled. Chu Zhen'er carefully stroked the back of Xinghu's hand and said.
"This palace has always had clear rewards and punishments, and those who are loyal to this palace will naturally not treat him badly."
For a while, the love xΓΉ was exposed in front of people. Xinghu also felt that he was too careless, and hurriedly responded sweetly.
"Xinghu can serve Niangniang, it is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes, and I dare not have half a heart." Expressing his loyalty, Xinghu quickly shifted the topic to the current situation: "Niangniang, what are your plans next?" β
Speaking of this plan, Chu Zhen'er had a lot of calculations in his heart. stared at the flower eyebrows and thought for a moment. The fingers were like the idea of the heart, and they landed heavily on the desk, making a crisp sound.
"This palace is now a little curious about the woman who assassinated the emperor before, and she has a lot of questions worth digging up."
Zhu Xishi and the emperor had a conversation in "Falling Flowers and Flying Rainbows". has undoubtedly become the focus of attention in the harem. And with the help of Jiang De, the big celebrity around the emperor, naturally what happened to this "falling flowers and flying rainbows" could not escape Chu Zhen'er's ears; It's just that the more you know, the more troubles there are, and the taboo that has disappeared for many years resurfaces again, sounding the alarm for Chu Zhen'er.
Huo Xiaoyu. Whether it's life or death. It is a threatening existence for Chu Zhen'er.
"Niangniang, Xinghu doesn't understand this, is she an ordinary woman worthy of Niangniang's attention?"
"She's an ordinary woman?!"
With a frustrated rhetorical question, Chu Zhen'er's face suddenly accumulated a look of displeasure.
"Can she maneuver between King Rong and the palace family with ease, and let these two handsome handsome people in the Great Song Dynasty run for her, can she be an ordinary woman?! Even if these are not considered any dangers, but she has an old friendship with Huo Xiaoyu's slut, and this palace can't take her lightly! β
What did the deceased master of the Star Hall mean to Chu Zhen'er. As a confidant, Xinghu naturally knew it, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
"Huo Xiaoyu, this slut, has been dead for so many years. is still haunting the emperor and the palace! A broken jade pendant can make the emperor angry, if she is really brought back to life, then this harem is not going to make trouble?! β
There are many newly-promoted concubines in the palace who don't know the height of the sky, relying on Zhao Yan's temporary grace, they are pampered and arrogant, and from time to time they make some trouble in front of her. But time can prove that her Chu Zhen'er's favor has never dimmed, and it is self-evident who has the last laugh.
But this honor Chu Zhen'er knows in her heart that it is not because she is Huo Xiaoyu's righteous Jinlan, and she is loved by Zhao Yan. She needs this favor, but at the same time, she hates it, because she will always be just an accessory in Zhao Yan's heart, a tool or ornament to remember Huo Xiaoyu!
When Huo Xiaoyu was in this harem, it became the grave of a group of poor women, waiting for them to be desolate and lonely day after day; If they don't join forces to resist, they can only guard this cold palace to spend their short youth, and they will never have a bright day.
Zhao Yan's identity is destined to be not owned by one person, Huo Xiaoyu should not be a person who monopolizes the hearts of three thousand beauties and shared husbands, and they do not allow such a monster to be stored in the harem.
"Huo Xiaoyu, you have been dead for so many years, why can't you die cleanly!"
The anger in her heart was unsettled, Chu Zhen'er vented the resentment in her heart in a gaffe, and the sharp voice echoed faintly in the Luoxiang Palace, and the palace people suddenly knelt on the ground for fear of causing trouble.
When the atmosphere was tense, suddenly a silver light broke through the window as fast as lightning, flying from an inch away from Chu Zhen'er's cheek, and with a crisp "bang" sound, it struck between a vermilion beam and pillar in the inner hall.
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Chu Zhen'er involuntarily screamed loudly, and this Luoxiang Palace suddenly turned into a pot of boiling porridge.
"There are assassins, there are assassins!"
Xinghu shouted loudly, and immediately flashed to Chu Zhen'er to protect her and prevent the other party from sneaking up again. But I waited for a long time with a nervous heart, but I didn't see any movement from the other party, and the situation in the Luoxiang Palace was even more chaotic.
The fear calmed down slightly, and Chu Zhen'er, as the lord of the first palace, shouted at the chaos in front of him.
"A bunch of waste, what are you panicking about?! Hongu is still alive and well! β
Fortunately, a large number of guards in the palace arrived at this time, and a strict search was launched inside and outside the Luoxiang Palace, and the chaos was stopped. Restraining his anger, Chu Zhen'er looked at the secret weapon that attacked him on the beam and pillar again, but he saw a small note fixed between the pillars.
The corners of his eyes suddenly twitched, and the anger in Chu Zhen'er Danfeng's eyes immediately turned into consternation, as if he understood the intentions of some of the people who came.
"Go get the note on the stigma!"
Xinghu came back to his senses suddenly, nodded hurriedly and ran over to take down the note on the stigma, just glanced at it cursoly, and his whole expression changed!
Chu Zhen'er, who was waiting for Xinghu's reply, saw that she looked lost and depressed, and she was also a little angry when she spoke.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you submit the note quickly!"
When the head stick drank, Xinghu recovered some of his spirits, and quickly turned back with the note; But at this time, she had a premonition that something big would happen!
Dragged the note in Xinghu's hand, and unfolded it to see a line of words:
Huo Xiaoyu is not dead. (To be continued......)
