When Chu Yi left Qian Baihan's mansion, it was already completely dark.

Qian Baihan asked someone to prepare a side room, and prepared to ask Lu Qingzi and Wen Ye to stay here for one night.

She knew in her heart that Qian Baihan was reluctant to Lu Qing, because this time Lu Qingzi and Wen Ye came to the house, and when they left, they would inevitably take Lu Qing with them.

It's just that Qian Baihan didn't know that after Chu Yi said those words to her and Wen Ye, their decision had changed.

"Don't bother, we'll go back to the inn tonight." Lu Qingzi looked at Qian Baihan and said, "Lu Qing, I want to live here with you for a while." ”

Qian Baihan should have been happy when he heard this, but when he saw Lu Qingzi's brows furrowed, he knew that something must have happened.

"What's wrong?" Qian Baihan looked at Lu Qingzi and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Qingzi glanced at Wen Ye, Wen Ye stepped forward and said what Chu Yi said just now to Qian Baihan.

Qian Baihan's eyes widened for a moment, Wen Ye left him and returned to Lu Qingzi's side, and said to Qian Baihan: "We still have to stay in the capital for a while, if it is really like what Chu Yi said, we are afraid that we will have to take a risk." ”

"It's too dangerous, do you have to do it?" Qian Baihan looked at Wen Ye and asked.

Wen Ye said a little helplessly: "I didn't want to do this, but Situ Ziyu almost gave up his life for me, and now if he sacrifices for me again, I and Qingzi will not be able to live a stable life for the rest of our lives." ”

Lu Qingzi also said when he heard this: "Yes! If that's the case, I'll be upset. ”

Qian Baihan saw that the two of them were firm, so he could only be silent and say no more.

stayed in Qian Baihan's house for another two hours, and when there was no one on the long street, Lu Qingzi and Wen Ye went back to the inn from the back door.

At dawn the next day, when Xia Chuli had just opened his eyes, he only heard a series of hurried footsteps reaching his ears.

Then, before she could sit up, Zhixue had already come to the window and said to Xia Chuli: "Niangniang, are you awake?" Something big is going on out there. ”

Xia Chuli opened the bed cage, looked at Zhixue and asked, "What's wrong?" You speak slowly. ”

There was still shock in Zhi Xue's eyes, "Ning Guiyi somehow angered Your Majesty, and was punished by Your Majesty to kneel at the door of Qinyang Palace early in the morning." ”

"Why did you go to the gate of Qinyang Palace to kneel?" Xia Chuli sat up and looked at Zhixue and asked, "Shouldn't it be at the gate of the Zero Flower Palace?" ”

"Your Majesty said that Ning Guiyi bumped into Concubine Lan in the morning, so Your Majesty ordered Ning Guiyi to kneel, and she was not allowed to get up until she knelt for three hours." Zhi Xue paused when she said this, and then said to Xia Chuli: "It doesn't matter if you just kneel down, but the slave maid heard from Father-in-law Lu's apprentice that His Majesty wants to give Ning Guiyi to death!" ”

Hearing Zhixue's words, Xia Chuli understood most of it in his heart, "Did Your Majesty send someone to check something?" ”

Zhi Xue looked around, then looked at Xia Chuli and said, "The slave maid heard that Ning Guiyi was in love with General Wen Ye before, and after General Wen Ye died, he also entered the palace to avenge General Wen Ye. ”

Xia Chuli heard these two sentences a little foggy, "Avenge General Wen Ye?" Didn't General Wen Ye suddenly die of an illness? ”

Zhi Xue sighed and told Xia Chuli the news she heard from Qian Baihan, "General Wen Ye is said not to have died violently, but His Majesty felt that General Wen Ye had a high merit, so he ordered him to die. Presumably Ning Guiyi also heard the news, so entering the palace this time happened to be as she wanted. ”

Xia Chuli's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she looked at Zhi Xue and said, "Then now Your Majesty already knows about this matter, so she has been attacking Ning Guiyi continuously for the past few days, and it is also for this?" ”

Zhixue nodded, "Nine times out of ten, it's because of this." ”

Xia Chuli put on his shoes and stood up, and then said to Zhixue: "This matter has nothing to do with us, don't get involved, if there is nothing to do in the past few days, tell the people in this Zhaohua Palace not to go out." Don't spread this gossip. ”

Zhi Xue replied yes, and asked Xia Chuli softly: "Niangniang can actually use Ning Guiyi's incident to show her loyalty to Your Majesty, and maybe she can solve the current predicament." ”

Xia Chuli was slightly stunned, she raised her eyes to look at Zhixue and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhixue told Xia Chuli what she thought in her heart, but Xia Chuli shook her head and said firmly: "No." If this palace takes this opportunity to fall into the ground, His Majesty will definitely dislike this palace even more. ”

Xia Chuli knew in her heart that it was already a blessing in misfortune that she could survive now, if she did something at this time, she would probably become Situ Ziyu's funeral object.

Rather than this, it is better to live peacefully in this Zhaohua Palace.

"But it's hard to find such an opportunity." Zhixue looked at Xia Chuli and asked, "Niangniang really doesn't think about using it?" ”

Xia Chuli raised his eyes to look at Zhixue, and when he saw her looking at him with a concerned look, his heart was a little shaken for a while.

It's really hard to find such an opportunity, but she can't do it if she is indifferent, but she doesn't want to do it.

After thinking for a while, Xia Chuli nodded, "In the future, the palace will spend time in this Zhaohua Palace, and after a while, the palace will say that you are seriously ill and want to go home to recuperate, and you will be allowed to leave the palace early." ”

Zhi Xue's heart trembled when she heard this, and she hurriedly said to Xia Chuli: "Niangniang misunderstood, the slave maid didn't mean that. ”

Xia Chuli smiled and said slowly to Zhixue: "The palace has reached this point now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life, you are the general's henchman, I asked you to stay here with the palace for a few years, and the palace can't bear it." ”

"Niangniang, the slave and maid have no complaints with Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't have to be like this." Zhixue has been by her side for some time, maybe Xia Chuli is not a qualified concubine, but she has always been very good to her subordinates.

She could see that Xia Chuli was not bad-hearted and very kind, but if she survived in this harem, sometimes she would be kind enough to kill herself.

"In a few years, you will also come to the day when you leave the palace, and it is no different from leaving the palace now, so why bother staying here for a few more years?" A smile appeared at the corner of Xia Chuli's mouth, and he said to Zhi Xue: "If this is the case, this palace is also unbearable. ”

Zhixue knelt on the ground with her knees bent, and she remembered the kindness of these days in her heart, "Niangniang is kind, the slave is unforgettable." ”

Xia Chuli saw her like this, but there was no turmoil in her heart, the longer she lived in this palace, the more she knew what she wanted.

Today, she has nothing more to ask for.
