Chapter 222: Sneaking into the palace late at night
After Aunt Hua drove the maid away, she revealed her true colors, looked around sneakily, and saw that there was no one around, so she hurriedly walked into the porch, and gently pushed open every door, wanting to see if Chu Qinghan was among them.
Aunt Hua was about to walk to the room where Chu Qinghan was, and Du Qinghe appeared at the right time. "Ma'am?" Du Qinghe suddenly appeared behind Aunt Hua and startled her.
Aunt Hua turned around and subconsciously touched her chest with her palm, her shocked look indicating that she had not recovered from the shock. When she saw that it was Du Qinghe, Aunt Hua pretended to be calm, looked at Du Qinghe and squeezed out a smile and said, "Qingli went back to rest?" ”
"The princess has rested." Du Qinghe pretended not to know and replied truthfully.
Aunt Hua also chatted with Du Qinghe casually, "You have to take good care of Qingli, the entire palace has to be handed over to her to take care of, it must be very hard." ”
Du Qinghe smiled and nodded yes. "Madam, are you going out of the house or ......," Du Qinghe asked suspiciously.
"I'm going to leave the house, why don't I go out like this?" Aunt Hua waved the handkerchief in her hand and pointed in the direction outside the door.
Du Qinghe bent down slightly, "It's just right, the slave maid wants to go out to buy some things, so let the slave and maid send the lady out." ”
"Huh?" Aunt Hua showed some embarrassment, she hadn't found Chu Qinghan yet, so she left the house like this? "I see that the plum blossoms in the palace are blooming very well, it's rare to come here, I'll enjoy the flowers and then go, if you're busy, go first, don't worry about me." Aunt Hua is rare to have a good temper today, and she treats her subordinates kindly, but she is just a thief.
"Don't worry," Du Qinghe always had a tepid expression on his face, "It doesn't matter what the princess ordered, the slave and maid will accompany the lady, and then they will go out of the house together." Du Qinghe said, stood beside Aunt Hua, and quietly did not speak.
Aunt Hua's eyes wandered, thinking about what could be done to take Du Qinghe away. "Qinghe, go and pour me a cup of tea, I've been talking about this for a long time, and my mouth is a little thirsty." Aunt Hua first pretended to be serious about appreciating the flowers, and then pretended to say to Du Qinghe inadvertently.
"Yes." Du Qinghe nodded, just when Aunt Hua was secretly happy in her heart, she heard Du Qinghe call someone from afar, "Hui'er, you go and bring a cup of tea to Mrs. Du Qinghe looked at the maid who was sweeping in the yard and said.
Hui'er put down the broom in her hand, nodded at Du Qinghe, and turned around to get tea. Aunt Hua's face immediately became gloomy, and when Hui'er brought the tea, she didn't drink a sip, looked at it coldly, and said in an unkind tone: "Put it there." ”
Aunt Hua looked at the red plum falling snow in front of her, and she didn't appreciate it at all, only full of dissatisfaction. "I'll go home first." Aunt Hua said in a calm voice, without a good face, and turned around and walked directly to the door of the house.
"Madam, the slave will send you." Du Qinghe took two quick steps and followed behind Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua saw that Du Qinghe was following closely, she had no chance at all, so she could only go out of the house first and discuss it later, but there was another way.
After Du Qinghe sent Aunt Hua out, in order to hide his purpose, he really bought two things on the street at random. By the time he returned to Chu Qingli's room, Chu Qingli had already woken up. Lately, her sleep has been light and short, and she wakes up after only a few moments.
"Princess, just sleep like this?" Du Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward and took Chu Qingli's clothes and prepared to serve.
Chu Qing let out a "hmm", listening to the voice, he was still a little uncomfortable. I was too tired before, so I had a headache, but I didn't sleep enough, and the headache was aggravated.
Chu Qingli endured the headache, rubbed his dry eyes, and asked in a dumb voice, "She's gone?" ”
Du Qinghe naturally knew who the "she" in Chu Qingli's mouth was referring to, "Well, just left, as the princess expected, she was really looking for Young Master Qinghan." ”
Chu Qingli pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, Aunt Hua This is Sima Zhao's heart, obviously. "Didn't let her find out?"
"No, before she arrived at the door of Young Master Qinghan, the slave maid appeared, so she was not able to see Young Master Qinghan." Du Qinghe briefly explained the situation to Chu Qingli.
Chu Qingli nodded, "You go to the medicine room and bring me the medicine in the first drawer on the right." ”
"Is the princess still very unwell? Do you want to sleep a little longer? Du Qinghe asked with concern, his tone and expression were full of worry.
Chu Qingli smiled weakly and comforted Du Qinghe, "It's okay, it's okay to take the medicine, you go and get it quickly." ”
Du Qinghe didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly trotted to get the medicine. Chu Qingli took the medicine, squinted and leaned on the bed, rested for a while, and then felt that the headache had eased a little, and then got out of bed and went to check on Chu Qinghan's condition again.
In the middle of the night, Chu Qingli saw that Chu Qinghan's condition was still stable, so he didn't stay aside and returned to his room. But before she lay down and fell asleep, she heard the sound of someone landing from a high place, since Chu Qingli heard it, Xiao Pan naturally heard it too.
Chu Qingli turned his head to look at Xiao Pan on the side, and sure enough, Xiao Pan was also looking at her intently, and stretched out his hand to "shhh" her, and whispered to her: "Don't move first, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Chu Qingli was no longer sleepy, and his head was unusually clear, "Be careful." Chu Qingli reminded.
After Xiao Pan got dressed and got out of bed, Chu Qingli could also wait with peace of mind, quietly got out of bed, opened the door a crack, and looked at the situation outside the door. Xiao Pan was pushing the wheelchair and disappeared, and before Xiao Pan came back, Xiao Yun came over first and protected Chu Qingli's safety at the door.
"Where's the prince?" Chu Qingli asked Xiao Yun in front of the door.
Xiao Yun looked ahead, as if he didn't have any emotion, "The prince went to check on the people lurking in the palace." ”
Although Chu Qingli knew that Xiao Pan was strong in martial arts, but now that he was sitting in a wheelchair, he couldn't let others know his disguise, which should hinder him from making a move.
"You go and see the prince, I don't need your protection." Compared with himself, Chu Qingli was more worried about Xiao Pan.
"The prince instructed his subordinates to protect the princess here." Xiao Yun is really the person trained by Xiao Pan, he is really disciplined and meticulous, except for Xiao Pan's words, he should not be able to listen to anyone's words.
Chu Qing opened the door widely, "Didn't you protect me?" Then I'm going to find the prince now, do you have to go with me? Chu Qingli looked back at Xiao Yun, but before Xiao Yun could answer, Chu Qingli had already left first, and Xiao Yun had no choice but to follow.
Chu Qingli searched for a long time in the mansion before he saw Xiao Pan's figure.
