Chapter 123: Apparent Peace
Looking at Hua Shenyue's sore back, he knew that she was about to be unable to hold on, in fact, he was also worried just now, afraid that this little girl would not be able to hold on, but he didn't expect that in the end, she was much stronger than he imagined.
"I'm tired, I'm so tired, my hands and legs don't have enough strength, so it's a little hard." Hua Shenyue didn't hide it, and said generously.
Anyway, Fu Qinglian's fragile behavior just now has been fully seen by Fu Qinglian, and now no matter how much she hides it, she is just pretending to be strong, it is better to admit it directly.
Fu Qinglian knows her so well, even if she doesn't say anything, she can know it clearly.
"Would you like to take a break?" Fu Qinglian suddenly asked to himself.
I didn't expect him to say such a thing all of a sudden, but it's not a good idea to rest in this place, it's too dangerous here, and if they are discovered, both of them will lose their efforts.
No matter how tired Hua Shenyue is, she knows that it is best to solve things quickly.
"No, I'm not that delicate, while they're gone, let's get out quickly, lest someone come in again." Hua Shenyue shook her head, she hadn't reached the point where she needed to rest.
She stopped hammering her waist and shoulders and prepared to hurry out.
"Let's go, then." Fu Qinglian looked at Hua Shenyue with some approval in his eyes, Hua Shenyue had not been out of Huayuan Valley for a long time, but he had already become much stronger.
I didn't expect her to go through such a little thing, and this person has changed a lot. But now she is like two people compared to her before.
The two quickened their pace and continued to walk forward, and when they came to the entrance of the cave, Fu Qinglian listened to the sound outside the cave by clinging to the big stone, and it was quiet outside the cave, and no one should be there.
They are finally safe now, and Chen Shi is still guarding outside.
Fu Qinglian then stretched out his hand to push the big stone away, he asked Hua Shenyue to go out first, and then he went out by himself, and after going out, he moved the stone back to its original position.
Chen Shi was relieved to see Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue come back safely. After the workers went in just now, he was worried, for fear that Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue would be discovered.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the two of them, and they came out smoothly.
It's not that I'm worried that they won't be able to escape, it's all copper mining workers here, and they don't have any martial arts. It's just that if Yao Wei is alarmed, and Yao Wei reports to Meng Zhendong again, Meng Zhendong will definitely be suspicious, and then they will find a scapegoat to hide this matter.
They would also be helpless against him, and there would be no direct evidence to identify the cave as the place where they had minted copper coins without permission, and it would have been easy for him to prevaricate.
With Meng Zhendong's character, he will definitely guess that it is Fu Qinglian, maybe he will think of a way to deal with it, and if he wants to bring down Meng Zhendong in one fell swoop, I am afraid it will be a little difficult.
Fu Qinglian and Hua Shenyue came out of the cave and immediately walked to the edge of the grass to meet Chen Shi, and Chen Shi's hanging heart finally let go.
"It's good that the prince came out safely, some people just went in, and the subordinates are still worried about whether the prince will collide with them, but fortunately they were not discovered." Chen Shi said.
"There's a little shelter in the tunnel, and we've gotten out of it." Fu Qinglian explained, fortunately, they were just in a hurry, otherwise, this might have been discovered by these people.
"yes, luckily we found a place to hide." Hua Shenyue said with a smile, she also felt that her luck was really good today, she didn't expect this matter to be completed so smoothly.
They were lucky this time, they were in that place, there was a stone to dodge, and it seemed that even God was helping them this time.
"Today's harvest is very great, and as soon as Wang Shangshu closes the case, Meng Zhendong will be finished." Fu Qinglian sneered.
The three of them are very happy, and now is not the time to be happy, so they have to go back and tell the emperor about this matter.
"Lord, then go back today, so as not to be discovered and startled by the snake." Chen Shi persuaded.
"Well, let's go."
Fu Qinglian also knew that the matter was very urgent, so after that, Fu Qinglian and the three of them secretly went down the mountain. In order to avoid the suspicion of the uncle at the foot of the mountain, the three of them deliberately changed their path. After finding the horse tied to the tree, the three of them rushed to the capital.
Hua Shenyue went back to the room as soon as she returned home, and when she and Fu Qinglian went to investigate, they deliberately changed into the cloth and cotton clothes worn by ordinary people, in order not to make people suspicious.
Now that I have returned to the Jingwang Mansion, I have to change my clothes back as soon as possible, so as not to make anyone suspicious in the palace, not to mention, there is also a Meng Hongyi in the palace, although she is now under house arrest, but she has to toss every day.
"Shen Yue, why did you come back so early today?" Fang Fang saw that Hua Shenyue was about to enter the room when she opened the door, and stopped her, seeing that she seemed to be in a hurry now, she wanted to ask her what happened.
"Fangfang, things went relatively smoothly today, so I came back early." Hua Shenyue replied with a smile.
Fang Fang had some doubts, not knowing what she was referring to, but she wouldn't ask too much.
"That's right, by the way, early this morning, Mei Xiang came to knock on your door, I don't know if there is something looking for you, I told her that you went to run errands, and asked her to come over at night." Fangfang walked up to Hua Shenyue and told her about Mei Xiang.
"Mei Xiang, I know, thank you Fangfang, I'll go to her in a while." Hua Shenyue smiled brightly on the surface, but she sneered in her heart, why did this person come to him early in the morning, I'm afraid there is nothing good.
Mei Xiang came to her early in the morning, did she want to confirm if she was dead? Since you can't wait, then I'll play with you. Hua Shenyue thought to herself, she wouldn't let them succeed so smoothly this time.
"You're welcome, then you go back to your room to rest first, I still have something to do." Fang Fang waved her hand at Hua Shenyue as she spoke, and left.
Hua Shenyue also smiled and waved her hand at Fangfang, until Fangfang's back was far away, she entered the room, fortunately, there was such a person by her side who could be trusted, otherwise it would be really dangerous.
Hua Shenyue locked the door, took off her clothes, and changed back into her previous clothes.
Last night, the plate where Mei Xiang sent pastries to Hua Shenyue was still on the table, Hua Shenyue stared at the plate for a while, and always felt that she couldn't serve herself food so kindly, I was afraid that there was something wrong with this bowl of pastries.
Thinking to herself, she picked up her plate and went out.
Hua Shenyue came to the door of Mei Xiang's room with a plate, she knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Did she go out?" Hua Shenyue muttered to herself, she looked up at Mei Xiang's door, and didn't know whether to continue to wait here or go back first.
Hua Shenyue thought about it for a while, but she still planned to go back first, but she didn't take a few steps when she turned around, but she saw Mei Xiang walking towards the room. Her emotions seemed to be a little excited, and she was still swearing in her mouth.
Mei Xiang didn't notice Hua Shenyue standing at the door of her room, she had just returned from Meng Hongyi. Cuihua knew that Hua Shenyue was not dead, and after knowing that Mei Xiang had messed up this matter, she scolded Mei Xiang fiercely.
Mei Xiang didn't dare to refute, after all, Cuihua was Meng Hongyi's personal maid. However, Mei Xiang had been holding her breath in her heart, so on the way back to the room, she vented to her heart's content.
Hua Shenyue stood in place and observed Mei Xiang for a long time, and after Mei Xiang finished venting, she raised her head and found Hua Shenyue standing at the door of her room. Mei Xiang was suddenly shocked in her heart, Hua Shenyue personally found her, it wouldn't be because she found out that she was poisoned.
Mei Xiang looked at it and saw that Hua Shenyue was still holding the plate she had filled with pastries for Hua Shenyue, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. But she didn't show it, although she was uneasy, but on the surface, Mei Xiang's expression was still the same as usual.
"The psychological quality is really good." Hua Shenyue said mockingly in her heart.
"Mei Xiang, are you back? Where have you been, I've been knocking on the door for a long time, and I'm just going back? Hua Shenyue shouted at Mei Xiang, smiling harmlessly, as if nothing had happened, acting very normal, but only Hua Shenyue knew what she was planning to do now.
"I just had something to deal with, why are you here? Fangfang said you won't be able to come back until later. Mei Xiang took a few steps closer and replied with a smile.
She has been looking forward to it for so long, and finally watched Hua Shenyue come back, but looking at her current radiant appearance, it is obvious that she has not eaten those pastries, so she is so energetic now.
However, after a while, she will not be as happy as she is now.
"Oh, it went well today, so I'm back early." Hua Shenyue explained with a smile.
"So, then did you come to me for something? Come into my room and sit down for a while. Mei Xiang said tentatively, pulling Hua Shenyue to sit inside.
Hua Shenyue did not refuse, and walked into the room with her. Both of them had smiles on their faces, but only each knew what was going on in each other's minds.
"Okay, we have a chance today, we can have a good talk." Hua Shenyue agreed without thinking.
"Come on in." Mei Xiang pushed open the door and welcomed Hua Shenyue in.
"Come, sit down, have a cup of tea." Mei Xiang closed the door, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup and poured water for Hua Shenyue. Hua Shenyue sat down and put the plate in her hand on the table.
Mei Xiang looked at the plate on the table, and was shocked, not even knowing that the tea had overflowed. Hua Shenyue looked at her current performance with satisfaction, knowing that she should already know in her heart that she understood some things, but she didn't know if she would be so arrogant after she knew.
"Mei Xiang, the tea is overflowing." Hua Shenyue reminded.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I thought about something in the moment, so I got a little distracted." Mei Xiang immediately came back to her senses, she put down the teapot, picked up a rag and wiped off the tea that had overflowed on the table.
