Chapter Ninety-Three: One Inheritance and Ten Thousand Branches
"The queen mother is angry, and the minister is just acting impartially!" Pei Huan couldn't figure out the temperament of the Queen Mother for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
"That's it, let's take the people down first." The Queen Mother waved her hand.
"Wait." Deng Tong stopped the guards' movements at the right time, "Queen Mother, this dancing girl looks a little familiar, and Poor Dao seems to have seen it before." ”
"Does the Taoist know her?" The Queen Mother said suspiciously.
Deng Tong shook his head: "I don't know either, I just remember that Poor Dao passed by the dance shop before, and when he saw that this dancing girl was bullied by everyone, he helped her out of the siege." The rhino horn ornament that the guards called was given to her by Poor Dao at that time. This dancing girl knew that Poor Dao had entered the palace to do things, so she asked Poor Dao for a talisman to ensure that she would not be bullied in the future, but at that time, Poor Dao did not have a talisman with him, so he handed over the ornament to her. ”
"This ornament is actually the Taoist chief?" The Queen Mother pondered, "So, there are other people in the dance workshop who confuse the palace?" ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, the people in the dance workshop looked nervous, and they saw the tragic situation of Chu Ruo, and no one thought that they would be next.
"Who made a big mistake, if it is recruited from the truth, the mourning family can leave you with a whole body, but if you don't say it, it will be found out in the future, then it will be good." The Queen Mother's voice gradually became cold.
But after a long time, no one took the initiative to stand up. This matter has been here for a long time, and there is no result for a while, so the Queen Mother still handed over the matter to Pei Huan, but only gave him three days.
Everyone was tired for a day, and when the queen mother gave an order, they rushed back to the palace to rest. This matter is like a pebble thrown into the sea, and the masters have every opportunity, but after all, they don't have time to bother with a little dancing girl.
After waiting for Xu Meiren to sleep at night, An Su went to the mothers' residence behind the small kitchen. These grandmothers are old, and Xu Meiren thinks that they have worked hard for many years, and they are assigned a little less work, so they have a lot more time to gossip.
"Are you asleep?" Ansu asked this deliberately, in fact, she had already heard their voices.
"Oh, it's Miss Shangguan! How did you get here? A grandmother opened the door for Ansu, and when she looked inside, she saw several grandmothers sitting together.
"It's not like I can't sleep, so I want to come here and talk to the grandmothers, so as to relieve my boredom."
"Then it's a coincidence that you're here, we're talking!"
These grandmothers are quite kind, and the topic is often the fastest among them, and this is exactly what Ansu needs. She quickly got along with them, and as she spoke, she brought the conversation to the dance studio.
The grandmothers chatted without an order, always talking and talking, and the topic went elsewhere. It took a lot of effort for Ansu to spread all the information she needed.
The next day, the Assassin's capture was unmistakably reported to the dance hall and, of course, to Xuanrong's ears. She and the man have been in love since they were outside the palace, but she couldn't give up fame and fortune, so she left this person into the palace and secretly took him into the palace. Although he is in the palace, he still has affection for that man.
Hearing the news of his arrest, Xuan Rong almost didn't think about it, so she rushed out of the dance shop and went to the eunuch's office. She staggered in a dance suit, not noticing that there was anyone behind her. This person is none other than An Su, who is waiting here on purpose, and the person who is waiting is naturally Xuanrong.
"Be careful, keep up."
"Miss Shangguan, you said that if you let us come with you, you will be guaranteed to catch the person who really confuses the palace, but we have waited for a long time, just waiting for such an ordinary dancing girl, don't you make fun of our brothers?" Although Pei Huan was moved by An Su's words to come here, he didn't believe that what their guards were helpless could do by listening to the words of a little palace maid.
"Don't worry, Pei Shou is ahead, follow her, and you will naturally be able to catch it."
Pei Huan was skeptical, but the person had already arrived here, and although he was reluctant, he still led the guards to follow Xuanrong forward. When they finally arrived at the eunuch's house, the next scene made them stunned.
When Xuan Rong arrived at the eunuch's house, she did not walk from the main entrance, but walked to a hole on the side. She learned the cuckoo's call, and after a few sounds, someone responded, and Xuan Rong helped remove a few stones from the entrance of the cave, and a person dressed as a eunuch came out.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that the assassins in the dance workshop were known to everyone during this time, and we didn't even see each other? The eunuch asked in surprise.
"How are you so here? Aren't you caught? Xuan Rong pulled him to watch it several times, and it didn't look like he had been tortured.
"Am I caught? How can it be? The eunuch realized later, "Xuanrong, have you been deceived?" ”
"Yes, she was deceived, but if she wasn't so easily fooled, we wouldn't have caught you so easily." Pei Huan didn't wait for the two to finish speaking, so he rushed out in a hurry, and asked the guards to restrain the two first.
"What do you do? Why arrest us? ”
"Why? Because the two of you confused the palace, I was scolded by the Queen Mother. Pei Huan took a hateful sip.
"You're blind!" Xuan Rong was still arrogant in such a situation, she glared back at Pei Huan, and pointed to the eunuch again, "He is a eunuch, how can he confuse the palace!" ”
This time he really stopped Pei Huan, he was overjoyed when he saw the two behaving intimately, and felt that this matter had a result, so he rushed forward to arrest someone. An Su sighed in the back, it was really rare for this person to be so impulsive that he even took on the position of the head of the guard. However, although the speculation in An Su's heart was not fully confirmed, it was also confirmed for most of it.
"Is he really a eunuch?" An Su walked over and said word by word, "Miss Xuanrong is really bold and reckless for the word love, this crime has changed from confusing the palace to secretly hiding a fake eunuch, I'm afraid the end will be even more tragic!" You also saw the appearance of Bo Chu coming out of the Yongxiang prison cell that day, and that appearance was really pitiful. ”
Xuan Rong can still pretend to be calm, but she really can't pretend at this time. An Su had the idea of deceiving them, and now it seems that her guess is indeed true.
According to the queen mother's will, the person who really confused the palace was arrested, and the matter was finally over. An Su took a night off from Xu Meiren and went to the dance studio to visit the injured Chu Ruo. thought that she was in a better mood and was in a better mood, but the whole person was still depressed, lying on the bed motionless.
"Xuanrong has been caught, your charges have been cleared, and no one will bully you in the dance studio in the future. With such a win-win thing, why is it still so sorrowful? ”
Chu Ruo sat up and looked at her, her eyes full of sadness: "Sister Shangguan, I remember that when you entered the palace, you said that some people are looking forward to coming in, and some people are looking forward to going out. I didn't understand it at the time, I just felt that this gorgeous deep palace was a place that many people dreamed of, and ordinary people couldn't get into it even if they wanted to. But after these days, I gradually understood. ”
An Su sat down beside her and sighed helplessly: "Chu Ruo, don't be afraid, you will be fine." ”
"Sister Shangguan, if only I were as smart as you, I don't have to be afraid of anything." Chu Ruo was angry, as if complaining about his stupidity.
"Chu Ruo, don't think about it, this matter is specially designed for you. Now that the truth is out, you can stay here with peace of mind and dance happily. Ansu patted her on the back, hoping that this innocent and cute little girl would be happier in the future.
But Chu Ruo shook his head: "Sister Shangguan, this is different from what I thought, they don't really like dancing at all, they study hard just to be able to perform in front of the emperor one day, so as to gain the emperor's favor and fly on the branches to become a phoenix." ”
"What about Chu Ruo? What is Chu Ruo for? ”
Chu Ruo shook his head: "I don't know anything, I just like to dance, and dancing will make me very happy." ”
"That's fine, if you can do what you like, it's good to be carefree."
"But people here don't think so, so Sister Shangguan, I don't want to stay here anymore." Chu Ruo suddenly clenched An Su's hand, "Sister Shangguan, can I stay with you?" ”
"You also want to go to Huanning Hall to serve Xu Meiren?" Ansu asked suspiciously.
"No matter where you go, as long as you can stay with Sister Shangguan." Chu Ruo wiped a handful of tears, "I can only feel at ease when I stay with Sister Shangguan." ”
An Su thought about it carefully: "Chu Ruo, I don't have the final say in this matter alone, but after I go back, I will help you talk about it in front of Xu Meiren and see if she can take you to Huanning Hall as well." ”
"Really?" At first time, I was happy.
"Don't get your hopes up, the last time I went to serve in Huanning Palace, I had already brought someone from Yongxiang over, I don't know if Xu Meiren will agree this time."
"Thank you, Sister Shangguan." Chu Ruo leaned on An Su's shoulder, "In this palace, only Sister Shangguan is the best for me." No, in this world, only Sister Shangguan is good to me. ”
"Silly girl, when you become a parent in the future, your husband will definitely be very good to you, and your future children will be very good to you." An Su continued to pat Chu Ruo's back, and she said this, as if she was also confessing her longing.
"Sister Shangguan, don't laugh at me, a stupid girl like me, how can anyone marry me?"
An Su smiled faintly: "If you grow up a little longer, you will be able to protect yourself." ”
The two talked quietly, Chu Ruo gradually fell asleep, An Su helped her fold the quilt, and quietly walked out of the dance room. But no sooner had she walked than a masked man dressed in black landed in front of her.
