Chapter 68: The Enemy
This crisp sound is just the right amount of loudness, so that people from afar can also hear it.
Chu Xuewei raised her eyes and saw several young ladies from the official eunuchs in the distance gathering together to laugh. And in the crowd, it was not others who were holding the moon, it was Xiao Nianyun who couldn't deal with him anyway.
Chu Xuewei hurriedly prepared to put on her shoes, but after all, Xiao Nianyun opened her mouth first.
Xiao Nianyun sneered as he walked towards this side: "Oh, our seventh prince is both talented and beautiful, but how can the princess he marries is so ignorant?" This is a royal palace, and it is simply uneducated to take off your shoes here. ”
Gong Xiuzhu's eyes revealed a cold light, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Xuewei sitting on the marble steps of the garden, constantly kneading her ankles.
The brocade embroidered shoes had now been half stripped off by her, revealing a small section of the hind foot wrapped in the sock.
Gong Xiuzhu's deep eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Nianyun, how do you speak?" When Xiao Nianhong heard this, he couldn't help frowning and scolded his sister softly.
Xiao Nianyun glared at him angrily: "Brother, what's the matter with you?" The Seventh Lord hasn't said anything yet, what are you worried about? ”
These words stung Xiao Nianhong's sore spot in an instant, his face turned pale, and he couldn't say anything more.
Xiao Nianyun turned his head and bowed to Gong Xiuzhu, still a little uneasy in his heart.
The fear he had felt when he cut off his hands last time had left a big shadow on her heart.
If Chu Xuewei hadn't found a way to sneak into the palace to meet the prince today, she wouldn't have been able to enter the palace.
But now it seems that he has said so about Chu Xuewei, and the Seventh Prince has not changed his face or accosted him, which means that the Seventh Prince actually does not favor Chu Xuewei at all.
Does that mean that no matter how much he cleans up Chu Xuewei, the Seventh Prince will not interfere?
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianyun simply walked in front of Qiandie: "Qiandie, it seems that your cousin-in-law has not learned much etiquette in the Seven Kings Mansion on weekdays, otherwise how could she be smiling and generous here?" ”
Qiandie looked panicked and waved her hand vigorously: "Nianyun, you misunderstood, sister-in-law is not like this at home." Presumably she's tired of walking now, that's why she's like this. ”
The ridicule on Xiao Nianyun's face became even stronger: "Tired of walking? Today, the queen came to greet the Queen Mother step by step. Your sister-in-law is so easily tired, could it be that she is more expensive than the queen? ”
"Nianyun, you can't say that!" Qiandie shook her head in panic, "If this word reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, then the sister-in-law will ......."
Xiao Nianyun twisted Qiandie angrily: "You, you are too kind in your heart." ...... like her Even if she sues the Queen Mother, she deserves it! ”
Gong Xiuzhu stood in front of him quietly, a pair of deep eyes stopped on Chu Xuewei, but he didn't open his mouth to help her.
It was as if she was waiting for her to fight back.
Xiao Nianhong on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Nianyun, you two ......"
But before he finished speaking, there was a sound of small footsteps on the other side of the corridor.
A eunuch in a dark blue robe walked quickly with a whisk in his hand, and quickly greeted Gong Xiuzhu and Xiao Nianhong: "The old slave has seen seven thousand years old, and he has seen Xiao Shizi. ”
The father-in-law in front of him is not a bystander, but the eunuch Li Gonggong, who is just popular next to the Queen Mother.
Now that he came in person, it was probably the will of the Queen Mother.
Xiao Nianhong clenched his fists, which can be regarded as a greeting.
Gong Xiuzhu nodded lazily.
Gonggong Li said with a smile: "The Queen Mother invites the two of you to enter the palace first." ”
After a pause, Gonggong Li looked at Chu Xuewei who was not far away, and continued to add with a smile: "A few little masters, please wait here for a while, the queen mother thinks that several young masters are of the same age, so I will give you a few time to have a good chat." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Nianyun on the side couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth proudly.
She smiled kindly: "Trouble Gonggong Li to tell the Queen Mother, we will definitely have a good chat." ”
Gonggong Li nodded, made a "please" gesture sideways, and looked at Gong Xiuzhu and Xiao Nianhong respectfully: "Seven thousand years old, Xiao Shizi is invited." ”
Since this is the queen mother's intention, the two of them are not easy to disobey, so they have to follow Gonggong Li in the direction of the queen mother's bedroom.
Gong Xiuzhu was expressionless all the way, and he was not worried at all about leaving Chu Xuewei here alone.
It was Xiao Nianhong who came along the way, turning his head from time to time, showing worry.
The two of them had only walked a short distance, and Xiao Nianhong couldn't help but lower his voice: "Lord Wang, do you plan to leave the princess there like this?" ”
When Gong Xiuzhu heard this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Those deep eyes raised slightly: "Xiao Shizi is not worried about his own sister, why is he worried about the princess for others?" ”
"I'm ......" Xiao Nianhong was choked up, his face was innocent for a while, obviously panicked all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to say.
Gong Xiuzhu strode forward with a gloomy face, and it was not until he turned the corner of the corridor that he glanced at the direction where Chu Xuewei was with the corner of his eye, and his gaze was deep.
At the same time, when Xiao Nianyun saw his brother and Gong Xiuzhu disappear at the end of the courtyard, the hypocritical smile on his face instantly disappeared.
She had a gloomy face, turned around and glared at Chu Xuewei: "Chu Xuewei, do you still want to be shameless?" ”
Chu Xuewei just felt that her ankles were better, and before she could get up, she heard Xiao Nianyun's harsh voice.
She frowned and looked at Xiao Nianyun, and stood up to herself: "Miss Xiao Er, did you eat something wrong today?" ”
Xiao Nianyun was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" ”
Chu Xuewei shrugged her shoulders boringly: "If you didn't take the wrong medicine, then how could you bite people everywhere like a mad dog?" ”
When Xiao Nianyun heard this, he immediately turned pale with anger.
It's just that before she could open her mouth to scold back, Qiandie on the side hurriedly opened her mouth: "How can you say that, how can you scold Nianyun?" ”
Chu Xuewei had an innocent expression on her face now. She pretended to be innocent and her eyes widened: "Sister, what are you talking about?" I'm saying if, you're saying I'm scolding her. Could it be that in your eyes, Miss Xiao Er is indeed like a mad dog? ”
"What are you talking about—" Thousand Butterfly was choked up and couldn't say anything.
As soon as Qiandie turned around, she saw Xiao Nianyun's face turned pale with anger, and she hurriedly explained: "Nianyun, I didn't, don't get me wrong!" ”
"You go away!" Xiao Nianyun pushed Qiandie aside, pointed at Chu Xuewei and scolded: "Chu Xuewei, you are a broken shoe, a stinky and shameless slut." Do you think I don't know what you're doing in the Treasure Pavilion! You are now the seventh princess, and you dare to covet the crown prince. I've lived so long, and I've never seen a woman as shameless as you! ”
Chu Xuewei narrowed her eyes, and the displeasure on her face had already emerged.
Chu Xuewei sneered and clasped her hands to her chest: "Since the Zhen Pavilion opened its doors to do business, the prince can go, why can't I go?" ”
"You, you shameless thing! I have to beat you to death today! ”
In a fit of rage, Xiao Nianyun pulled directly from his waist, and there was an extra nine-section long whip in his hand.
"Smack!"
She flicked her hand, and the whip made a crisp sound in the air.
She looked resentful, her hands were cut off, and she was slapped in front of the public, all of this was thanks to Chu Xuewei, and she couldn't wait to break her body into pieces at this time!
Qiandie stood aside, her face nervous, but her eyes were full of mockery and success.
She knew it! Xiao Nianyun is a fool with a reckless personality and no brains, if only Xiao Nianyun, an idiot, could beat Chu Xuewei to death today!
Even if she Xiao Nianyun only beat Chu Xuewei to death today, she had another way for her Chu Xuewei to let others never see the sun the next day.
But to her surprise, looking at Xiao Nianyun who was getting closer and closer, Chu Xuewei not only did not have fear and fear, but had a calm and confident face.
It's like, as if something is inevitable.
Qian Die frowned in confusion and looked in Chu Xuewei's direction with a suspicious expression.
"I hate it when I see your face!" Xiao Nianyun scolded angrily, and the whip raised high went directly towards Chu Xuewei's body.
Seeing that the long whip was about to fall on her, Chu Xuewei's figure suddenly flashed, and she flashed directly to Qiandie's side.
She grabbed Qiandie's wrist and smiled treacherously: "Sister Qiandie, I am your seventh princess." Now that she's going to beat me, you can't help me! ”
"What?" Thousand Butterfly suddenly came back to her senses and struggled desperately.
Xiao Nianyun failed with a whip, and soon chased after him angrily with the whip.
"Sister-in-law, let go of me! This is clearly the problem between you and Nianyun, why do you want me to help you! Qiandie was about to be angry to death now, and she couldn't wait to strangle Chu Xuewei directly.
This woman is also so vicious that she wants to pull herself into the water!
Seeing that Xiao Nianyun was about to rush over, Chu Xuewei suddenly said strangely: "Of course you have to help me, because only I can cure your illness!" If I am beaten and wounded, no one else can cure the problem on your face! ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiandie felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her body stiffened suddenly, and she was stunned in place: "You, what did you say?" ”
And at this moment, Xiao Nianyun's long whip also came over.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Qiandie couldn't dodge it, and took the whip solidly.
Xiao Nianyun's whip brought full strength, and the pain made Qiandie almost jump up: "Ah! ”
Xiao Nianyun didn't expect that she could draw the wrong person, she yelled angrily at Qiandie: "Won't you get out of the way?" Stupid! ”
After scolding this, she gritted her teeth and pulled in the direction of Chu Xuewei.
Qiandie's face was also full of shock at this time, and she grabbed Chu Xuewei: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" ”
Chu Xuewei smiled innocently: "I mean, three days ago, did you start to have red skin, and your face was itchy and unbearable at night, and even under your neck, you had already begun to grow red pus?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Qiandie turned pale with fright, and subconsciously covered her clothes.
As soon as she saw her reaction, Chu Xuewei knew that she had guessed eight or nine.
"You, how could you ......" Before Qiandie's words were finished, she saw Chu Xuewei in front of her suddenly hide.
Then, a long whip slammed into her back, causing her to scream in pain, "Ahhh
Thousand Butterfly turned her head suddenly, and suddenly found that a blood streak had been drawn from her back. She was shocked and angry, and yelled at Xiao Nianyun: "Xiao Nianyun, are you crazy?" ”
Xiao Nianyun moved his hand twice, but he didn't hurt Chu Xuewei once, and now he is also full of fire.
Now that she saw that Qiandie dared to yell at her, she was even more angry: "Am I crazy? I think you're crazy, aren't you? You're from Chu Xuewei's side, right, you deliberately didn't let me teach her a lesson, didn't you? I tell you, if you stop me, then I'll fight you together! ”
Chu Xuewei had a thief smile on her face, she deliberately leaned over to Qiandie's side and whispered, "Sister, do you remember the day when Tian Da was instructed to go to Xiaozhu to frame me?" On that day, Yuanguang was also poisoned, and you were too close to him, and he sprayed poisonous blood all over his face. There was poison in the blood, and I remember giving you a handkerchief to wipe before you left. I have soaked that veil in medicinal juice, as long as you wipe your face with that veil, it will not be poisonous. It's just that now it seems that you are very wary of me, so you probably just went out and threw away the handkerchief I gave you! Now, if I'm hurt, there's no one to make an antidote for you! In a few days, the pustules will start to spread to your face, and it will be itchy and painful at night. If you scratch it, the venom in the pustule will come out, and your whole face will be ulcerated and infected...... Tut-tut! ”
Speaking of this, Chu Xuewei shivered exaggeratedly: "You are so beautiful, if you become like that, it will be really terrifying!" ”
"You ......" Thousand Butterfly was almost scared silly.
According to Chu Xuewei's character of retribution, she will definitely do such a thing!
In the face of Qiandie's anger, Chu Xuewei looked even more innocent: "You see, I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I am very weak, so you must protect me!" ”
"......" Qiandie almost vomited blood in anger.
But as soon as she saw Xiao Nianyun raising her long whip and rushing towards this side, she had to reach out to stop her.
Because what Chu Xuewei said is not wrong at all!
Three days ago, small red bumps suddenly began to grow on her body for no apparent reason.
And it's itchy at night. Qiandie scratched desperately, and several times she scratched her body with blood.
Especially last night, Calamity couldn't stand it, so she tied her hands.
But she forced herself to break free from the rope, scratched the pus on her body that had just healed and scabbed and rubbed it bloody, and then she fell asleep tiredly.
During the day, she is no different from ordinary people, but at night, the pain on her body makes her want to pass out directly.
It turned out that Chu Xuewei, a vicious woman, had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger from the beginning!
She must have known early on that Tian Da was sent by herself to frame her, and even dug a big hole for herself when she was framed.
"Damn it!" Qiandie scolded angrily, turned around and grabbed Xiao Nianyun's long whip: "Nianyun, you hurry up and stop me!" ”
When Xiao Nianyun heard that Qiandie dared to scold herself, she was even more angry in her heart.
She screamed, pulled back the long whip, and directly took Qiandie as a target, and whipped it hard.
And Chu Xuewei on the side watched this farce, with a sunny smile on her face.
Chu Xuewei smiled and beckoned to the two people who had already made a pot of porridge: "You guys fight slowly, I'll go shopping first!" ”
Turning around, Chu Xuewei took brisk steps along the winding path of the Imperial Garden and began to stroll.
"Just the two of you, you don't even have the qualifications for me to use poison powder."
Chu Xuewei shrugged helplessly.
This royal garden is really different from the ordinary garden, it is very noble and atmospheric, and every scenery in the garden, whether it is a rockery or a stream, is unique and has its own style.
And in the Imperial Garden, countless precious flowers and plants are the most ordinary decorations here.
Chu Xuewei sniffed the faint fragrance of flowers coming from the garden, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: "It's worthy of being a royal noble, it's too good to enjoy it!" Every year, I don't know how much money and material resources it will cost to maintain this exquisite garden! ”
Chu Xuewei walked briskly, lifting the stamens from time to time and smelling the fragrance of the flowers.
Until I passed by a rockery path, I seemed to hear a small sound of rustling.
Although she was not a very curious person, such a strange voice still caught her attention.
She subconsciously stopped and pricked up her ears.
"Whirring ......"
Gradually, the sound of dull and muffled breathing came to my ears.
Chu Xuewei frowned, followed the voice and walked over.
She is a doctor, and her first reaction is whether someone is not very comfortable?
As she got closer, the dull breathing grew heavier.
There seems to be someone behind the rockery!
Chu Xuewei was about to speak, when she heard a small woman whispering from the back door: "Hmm...... Don't do this! ”
"......" Chu Xuewei's leg that had just stepped out instantly froze in mid-air.
Although she is still an untrained little girl, she has not completed the last step between the things under the bed with Gong Xiuzhu.
Now if she didn't know what was going on, it would be hell.
It's just that although the folk customs of Jiangguo are open, it won't be able to open up to such an extent, right?
Besides, it's still a royal palace!
These two people are too, aren't they?
Chu Xuewei shook her head secretly, despised them fiercely in her heart, and turned around and prepared to leave.
It's just that the moment she turned around, the woman behind the rockery suddenly opened her mouth suspiciously and asked:
"This, how ......"
After a strange silence, the woman spoke again: "Are you...... You can't- uh-"
It was clear that before the woman could finish her words, she was violently choked by the throat.
Chu Xuewei's face sank, because in the next moment, she heard a "click" - as a doctor, she could hear that it was the sound of broken bones.
She leaped quickly and ducked into the bushes on the side of the road, holding her breath.
After the sound of a real rustling, a tall and straight figure walked out from behind the rockery.
Chu Xuewei didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only lower her head. In the distance, only delicate and luxurious boots can be seen.
"Handled." A familiar male voice sounded, and several eunuchs then bowed down and burrowed behind the rockery and dragged a naked palace maid out.
The palace maid had her neck broken, her body was covered with bruises, her eyes were wide open, and her death was extremely tragic.
Chu Xuewei didn't know who that person was, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
I can only scold myself silently in my heart: Chu Xuewei, Chu Xuewei, what do you say you have nothing to do? It's good now, you can even kill people and kill people, you are really ......
It wasn't until the man behind the rockery walked away that Chu Xuewei quietly poked out a little head, and when she saw that there was no one around, she ran out quickly.
She took the hem of her skirt and walked quickly in the direction of the main hall.
It's just that she had only taken a dozen steps when she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her.
In the next moment, there was a sharp stabbing pain in his shoulder.
"Ahh She let out a low cry and realized that her shoulder had been grabbed.
Chu Xuewei hurriedly looked back, and suddenly saw the prince's ugly face.
Looking at each other, Chu Xuewei and the prince seemed to be shocked.
"How are you?" Prince Tieqing's face was full of surprise.
Chu Xuewei was also startled after seeing the prince's face.
But in the next moment, she quickly calmed down again.
If that person was the crown prince just now, then everything would make sense.
The prince must have been unwilling, so he casually found a palace maid and planned to fight in the palace to find excitement.
The little palace maid worked hard, but unfortunately the little prince didn't react at all.
This matter was seen through by the palace maid, so the prince was so angry that he directly beat the palace maid to death.
That way, it seems that everything makes sense.
However, the more she figured it out, the more disgusted Chu Xuewei became for this prince's character.
Her eyes moved slightly, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on Chu Xuewei's face: "Prince, what are you doing?" I followed the Seventh Prince into the palace to visit at the behest of the Queen Mother, and I didn't provoke you! ”
“……”
Chu Xuewei's words were that the prince was stunned.
Just now, when he was killing, he seemed to hear movement, so he deliberately walked away and hid.
Who knows, when he saw someone walking around again, that person was actually Chu Xuewei.
The strength in his hand relaxed, and the prince took his hand back: "Since you entered the palace at the behest of the Queen Mother, why did you suddenly appear here now?" ”
This man's suspicion is really serious!
Chu Xuewei couldn't help but complain in her heart: You are the prince of Jiangguo, even if you kill a palace maid and be seen by others, it won't be good, right?
"The Queen Mother has something to say to the Seventh Prince, so let me enjoy the flowers here." Chu Xuewei's face was frank and open, her eyes were clear and transparent, and she didn't have the slightest weakness.
The prince stared at her for a long time.
originally wanted to see if she had a weak heart, but those clear and translucent eyes inadvertently attracted him.
Those eyes were as clear as obsidian soaked in a mountain spring.
The delicate little nose, and the pink and full red lips-
Today, she is slightly powdered, and at this time she is even more beautiful.
Chu Xuewei couldn't help frowning, she hated being looked at by others like this.
There was a trace of disgust in her heart, she didn't even bother to pretend, and directly rolled her eyes: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, then I will leave first!" ”
With that, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and turned away.
The bright and moving little face disappeared from sight, and the prince was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Slow! ”
Chu Xuewei's heart sank.
The prince strode over and stood before her again, blocking her way.
Chu Xuewei forcibly pretended to be calm and smiled: "I don't know what else His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered?" ”
The prince frowned, stared at her for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "You really know how to heal?" ”
Chu Xuewei is not a fool, and it can even be said that Bing Xue is smart.
But now she has to play dumb.
