Chapter 233: Escape
Zhan Ju saw that Song Anle didn't look at her squarely, presumably this time she was also determined not to save her, the suppressed anger in her heart, with a big death mentality, but suddenly thought that Song Anle was also being punished for her, if she was still obsessed with it again and again, it didn't matter if she killed herself, I am afraid that even Song Anle will be involved together.
Zhan Ju struggled for a moment, but still felt worried about the overall situation, so she slapped her face fiercely, and on a snow-white cheek, a clear palm print suddenly appeared.
She slapped one slap after another on the face, although the hot burning on her cheeks, she did not reduce the strength at all, she seemed to use the force of her hands to tell her inner dissatisfaction.
Listening to the crisp slap sound, some people are extremely happy in their hearts, but some people are twisting like knives in their hearts, although Mei Xin feels sorry for Zhan Ju, but her impulsive behavior is indeed excessive, maybe this serious lesson can make her have a cognitive change.
Although Song Anle still had an indifferent expression, her heart had already been followed by Zhan Ju's harsh slaps, and the stinging pain was difficult to subside, she didn't know if Zhan Ju would have a grudge against her, but in the face of the fault of angering the emperor, she thought that it was a great fortune in misfortune to be able to save her life.
Wu Liangdi and Concubine Yang watched Zhan Ju finish twenty slaps before leaving together, but the decision to punish Zhan Ju for kneeling for two hours, and Song Anle's decision to be punished for kneeling has not changed.
But after Wu Liangdi and the others left, Zhan Ju was dissatisfied with Song Anle's cowardice, so she endured the pain on her face and ran out alone angrily.
Although Zhan Ju is from a subordinate background, but in the Song Mansion for so many years, she has never suffered this kind of humiliation, although this time it was her fault first, but the heavy punishment for a while, she couldn't help but be a little difficult to accept, but Song Anle was worried that she would be impulsive and do something stupid, and she was being punished, so she could only let Hongzhu hurry up to take care of Zhan Ju.
After kneeling for two hours, Song Anle's legs and feet had already lost their intuition, and she returned to the room with difficulty with Mei Xin's support, and Mei Xin helped her get hot water to soothe her.
Looking at her red and swollen legs and jade feet, Mei Xin said with some pity: "Little master, why do you insist on these two hours, presumably Wu Liangdi is just talking." ”
"Whether it's talk or temptation, I can't be rude in my mistakes, wouldn't this be causing trouble for ourselves." Song Anle didn't believe that Wu Liangdi would really ignore them after leaving, and with the grievances between them, Wu Liangdi must have stared at her here without knowing how many pairs of eyes she had placed.
Mei Xin also complained and said: "Having said that, but Zhan Ju has also been severely punished, at most, you are just a misdiscipline, just remind and warn once, where is the use of such a severe punishment." ”
Wu Liangdi's punishment for her was indeed a bit too heavy, but Song Anle was completely understandable, she didn't want to explain to Mei Xin that there was a gap between her and Wu Liangdi, so she said worriedly: "I don't know what happened to Zhan Ju." ”
Song Anle looked outside, it was already pitch black, but Hongzhu still hadn't come back, and Zhan Ju was nowhere to be seen, Song Anle always had a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"This time, Zhan Ju has learned a big lesson, and I guess I won't feel good in my heart." Mei Xin was not uneasy, but she was worried that Zhan Ju would not be able to think about it for a while, and complained about Song Anle's faults.
"yes;" Song Anle said worriedly: "It's really hard for her." ”
Mei Xin saw that Song Anle seemed to have some guilt for self-blame, so she said gently: "Don't worry, little master, Zhan Ju is a tendon, and when the anger is gone, it will be fine." ”
Song Anle glanced at Mei Xin, but still sighed deeply, for so many years, although he has been accustomed to Zhan Ju's temperament, but he has not been worried, this time such a worry, it can also be said that he has never seen Zhan Ju really moved.
At this time, Hongzhu walked in from outside, it was Song Anle who was in contemplation, Xu heard the sensitive footsteps, so she turned her eyes and saw that Hongzhu was back, she hurriedly asked eagerly: "Hongzhu, where is Zhanju?" ”
While Song Anle was asking, he looked behind Hongzhu, but he still didn't see Zhanju's figure.
Hongzhu couldn't catch up with Zhan Ju in time, so she couldn't give Song Anle an expected answer, so she said in a low voice: "Back to the little master, when the slave and maid chased Zhan Ju out, Zhan Ju had disappeared, and the slave and maid looked for a nearby place where Zhan Ju might go, but they didn't find Zhan Ju, so"
Song Anle and Mei Xin glanced at each other in unison, both of them had obvious worry in their eyes, Song Anle couldn't take care of her jade feet that were still in the barrel, she got up and walked out, and said worriedly: "No, I want to go and get the chrysanthemum back in person." ”
Song Anle's words fell, the person had already walked out, Mei Xin seemed to be worried about Zhan Ju, maybe she didn't expect Song Anle's move to be so hurried, so she took Song Anle's clogs and chased them out, and shouted later: "Little master, you can put on the clogs and leave." ”
But when Mei Xin chased out, she was already blindly directionless in the dark, because the night was too dark, she couldn't tell the direction of Song Anle at all, so she could only choose to go in the direction of the brighter lights.
And the direction Song Anle chose was the opposite, because Zhan Ju must have deliberately hidden, so she would not choose a place with a lot of people or obvious lights, which also prompted Song Anle to choose a secluded place to find.
In order not to disturb others, Song Anle looked around closely, and at the same time called the name of Zhan Ju in a low voice, and occasionally met the palace people on duty at night, she also tried to avoid it if she could.
But her abnormal behavior, for others, is a sneaky abnormal behavior, so the palace people on duty at night pay close attention to her.
Just when Song Anle was all about Zhan Ju, he said in a stern voice: "Who is so bold that he dares to sneak around here so late." ”
Song Anle was obviously shocked, she turned to look at the person who came, it seemed that it should be the two palace people on duty at night, so she hurriedly explained: "The two adults atone for their sins, I am the newly promoted seal of Yongfu Palace, because I lost a little palace maid, so I came out to look for it, alarmed the adults to patrol the night, and hoped that the adults would calm their anger." ”
"It turned out to be the new Song Chongyi, and the slaves and maids were rude." The two palace people were quite respectful and saluted Song Anle, and Song Anle was also very easy-going in return, without any master's posture.
Although the palace people were quite respectful, she immediately said tepidly: "But it's such a late day, the little master is haunted alone, I'm afraid it's not very suitable, and there are slaves and maids patrolling here, and no suspicious people are found, so the little master should go back first, and after the palace people inspect, if there is news, the little master must be notified as soon as possible." ”
The palace people said it to death in one breath, even if Song Anle knew that Zhan Ju was here, she couldn't insist on staying, besides, she didn't know the whereabouts of Zhan Ju, and there were palace people patrolling here, presumably Zhan Ju was indeed not here.
Without further ado, what Song Anle needs at this time is manpower, since these two palace people said that they would help her, it was also the greatest help for her, so she said lightly: "Then there are two adults." ”
The palace man bowed his head and said: "The little master is serious, this is the duty of the slaves and maids. ”
"Thank you." Song Anle also returned the salute with a shallow chin.
"It's late, the little master walks slowly."
Song Anle pursed the corners of her mouth indifferently, and then disappeared from the night, because she didn't realize that she was still barefoot, so when something sharp was pierced in the center of her foot, she frowned and hissed.
She thought she was just cushioned by something, so she took a step back, and what she wanted to stick to the center of her foot, and deepened it again, and she couldn't bear the pain, so she could only sit down with the help of the stone on the side.
Song Anle looked at the things that were stuck in the soles of her feet, because it was dark, she couldn't see clearly at all, she could only grope for the soles of her feet, but the sharp things had all been pierced in the soles of her feet, and it didn't seem to be easy to pull out.
Song Anle was anxious and annoyed in her heart, everything was not going well, but her luck was so bad, she got up and tried to walk, but before she could complain, a dark shadow suddenly appeared under her eyes, so she took a step back in panic.
Xu was because of the pain of her foot injury, she didn't dare to exert herself, so she seemed a little stumbling, but fortunately, Gao Yuanshang, who suddenly appeared, took her in her arm in time.
When Song Anle saw that it was Gao Yuanshang, she seemed even more panicked, because of the close distance, she didn't dare to look at Gao Yuanshang, but hurriedly withdrew his arm, and leaned over and said, "See the eldest prince." ”
Gao Yuanshang's indifferent face looked even more cold in the dim light, but he said playfully: "Are you still here at such a late hour, are you waiting for this king?" ”
"The maidservant has lost a palace man, so"
Before Song Anle finished speaking, Gao Yuanshang stopped her coldly, and said: "In front of this king, you have to call yourself a concubine." ”
"Don't forget, you're the king's man now." Gao Yuanshang was close to Song Anle and looked at her with a smug expression.
"If the eldest prince has nothing else to do, maid" Song Anle almost blurted out habitually, but fortunately she took it back in time, and said awkwardly: "The concubine will retire first." ”
Gao Yuanshang said unhurriedly: "It seems that you don't really want to find the lost palace people. ”
Originally, Gao Yuanshang was just passing by, but he happened to hear Song Anle's familiar voice, and he was curious about her motive for haunting so late, so he walked over to take a look.
Song Anle was about to leave, but immediately turned back, she was more anxious than anyone else about the news about Zhanju, so Gao Yuanshang's words were the main reason for keeping her.
