Chapter 221: Matters in the Capital
A short sentence floated out of Mu Han's mouth.
I was slightly startled, "Your Highness is down?" ”
After speaking, seeing his suspicious eyes, I couldn't help but smile, "I'm just asking, don't worry, I'm a person from the Qingxu Hall now." ”
He didn't speak, perhaps thinking my explanation was a little suspicious.
I stood quietly, some distance away from him, waiting for the end of the room.
An hour later, the closed door finally opened again.
The first to come out was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......
He is still so handsome, still so gentle, and so elegant.
With a more archaic smile on his face, his gaze swept down to my face for a moment, and he nodded with a smile, "Are you still used to here?" ”
I was a little flattered, I thought that I was like a vase that could be teleported at any time to His Highness, I thought that he had forgotten about me a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he still remembered, and his words were full of concern.
He hadn't changed at all, just like the first time I saw him.
"Everything is fine here, the national teacher, she ......" said that, the national teacher walked out from behind His Royal Highness, her faint eyes swept towards me, and without speaking, I shook my palm.
"What's wrong with the National Teacher?" His Highness was a little surprised that I was halfway through what I said, and asked curiously.
"The national teacher is very good to the slaves and maids, and the people here also take care of the slaves and maids, Your Highness, please rest assured."
"That's good...... You are so smart, and your martial arts are high, sometimes in retrospect, this palace regrets a little, even if it was to find another person from the steward to send it over, it would be better than sending you away. He sighed, but when I heard it, I felt a huge wave in my heart, and I couldn't hold back my excitement.
After His Highness left, the national teacher walked up to me and asked me, "If you want to go back, you can tell Your Highness." ”
I was a little moved, but after thinking about it, since His Royal Highness will give me to the national teacher, in the future, he may also give me to someone else, which makes me a little scared, I shook my head and said resolutely, "Since the slave is here, she will never leave!" ”
"Is there anything you have to do here?"
"The slave and maid are here to ask the national teacher for their sins."
"Please? …… Do you have any sins? ”
"The slave maid ...... last night The slave really didn't mean it last night! Please punish the national teacher! ……”
"Since you said that you didn't mean it, and you think about it, there is no need to ask for guilt in this matter, so you can step down."
She didn't punish me, she didn't even ask me......
She is too confident, firmly believing that her secret has no impact on her current identity and status. Or do I think I don't have the courage to talk about it?
"But the slave ......"
I was about to say something, but she turned and walked into the room, as if she didn't want to talk about it again.
"Since the national teacher is unwilling to delve into it, it is in vain for you to wait here." Changshui walked in from outside the courtyard with some food.
She looked at me with a wary look on her face.
She should also guard against me, after all, she has been here since she was a child, and following her master is also dedicated to protecting the Lord, and I am not qualified to blame her.
"When you go in, can you help me bring a message to the national teacher?"
"What are you going to say?"
"I just entered the Qingxu Palace and became the maid of the national teacher, I don't know anything else, I will definitely be heartfelt to the national teacher in this life!"
Changshui thought for a while, and nodded through my gaze, "I'll help you bring this sentence to the national teacher, and you can go."
。 ”
I watched as Chang Shui's figure was hidden inside the door, and I turned and pushed it down.
"Miss, are you really going to let her go like this?" Changshui was a little nervous, and as soon as he put down the tray, he turned around and asked.
Ji Yunxiao sat in the middle, paused under the pen, and raised her head slightly, "Just now, you didn't hear what she said outside?" ”
"However, the slave maid is not at ease, she is from the East Palace after all, doesn't the young lady have the slightest suspicion?"
"Doubtful?" Ji Yun paused with a smile, then shook his head, and said with a heavy gaze: "Yunjin will be the emperor of Cangyun Kingdom in the future, and I will definitely assist him in the future, he will spy on me, and that should be." ”
"Should it?! Miss, how can you think that?! When Changshui heard this, he immediately retorted in shock, "Even if Miss returns to assist His Royal Highness in the future, however, that will be a matter of the future, at least Miss should be free now!" ”
"Freedom? …… Hehe, Changshui, you have been in this palace with me for more than ten years, do you still think that there is a little freedom in this palace? ”
"Slave ......"
"Okay, let's put this matter down first, in a few months it will be the day when the nine princes of Cangyun Kingdom and Yeyang Kingdom will be reconciled, how about the things I asked you to do?"
"I've already investigated according to the lady's instructions, but the woman's is secretly in contact with another man."
"Second prince?"
"Miss's guess is right, it's the second prince!"
"How long have they been in secret?"
"According to the news from the Nightingale Pavilion, it should have been a year."
"A year?" Ji Yunxiao's brows moved, and he fell into a predicament all of a sudden, "It's really strange that the first good woman in Cangyun Kingdom, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, has secretly been in a relationship with the second prince for a year, and has not been discovered by Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites." ”
"Miss, the slave maid is a little worried, the Nine Princes don't want to let the two princesses in the palace go this time, they have to name and marry the best daughter of Cangyun Country, if the time comes, the woman resists, I'm afraid it will save the face of the Nine Princes."
"What you said is exactly what I am worried about...... In addition, the second prince is usually casual, for more than ten years, he has been ignoring the major affairs of the court and the central government, and has traveled all over the world, and his temperament is a little bohemian, if a sedan chair is carried directly to the door of the military department at a critical time, the other party will tell all the things in this year, and when the time comes, not only will the ninth prince not be able to explain, but even the face of the royal family may be ruined by the second prince. ”
"What then? Miss, didn't you say that in recent years, the border has not been very peaceful, and the Nine Princes are even more eyeing the Cangyun Kingdom, if something goes wrong in this matter, the Nine Princes will definitely use it as an excuse to take the opportunity to provoke a war between the two countries! ”
"That's why I asked you to keep an eye on that side, and if necessary, you can take some necessary measures to stop the situation from happening!" Ji Yunxiao's eyes were fixed, right now, there was only so much she could do.
……………………………………
I thought that from that incident onwards, even if the National Teacher did not kill me, he would definitely send someone to put me under house arrest.
However, within a few days, a palace maid came to me and said that she would let me go over.
With apprehension, I rushed all the way through.
The national teacher quickly explained his intention to find me, to arrange for me to do something.
I don't know if it's a test or what, but I know that this matter is related to my future identity and status in this Pure Void Palace.
It also involves how much she trusts me......
So I took over the task of the national teacher very seriously, went out of the palace, and went to monitor
Find someone named Chu Tian.
The national teacher only told me a few places where that person might appear, but did not tell me what he looked like, but he gave me a very important clue...... That person likes to wear all blue and always has a peach blossom on his head.
In this capital, there are many people who wear flowers on their heads, but when it comes to men, it is very rare to talk about those who will arrange flowers on the top of their heads.
Searching for this clue, I finally found such a person in the place where the other party might go.
He was dressed in blue, with peach blossoms on his head, and a high-quality jade around his waist.
He leaned against the table, holding a flask in one hand, and poured wine into his mouth, and his drinking movements were so heroic that it was a little difficult to tell whether he was drinking water or wine......
Could it be that this man is an alcoholic? What does the national teacher want me to do if he wants to be a drunkard?
Of course, I won't know what the National Teacher is thinking from the bottom of his heart, but what I have to do now is to do my best to follow this person and report his every move to the National Teacher!
……………………………………
"Miss asked Qiang Hong to keep an eye on Chu Gongzi, will she startle the snake?" There were two people sitting at the table on the second floor, and one of them looked at the scene below and couldn't help but worry.
The red-robed woman opposite shook her head, "Isn't this still you?" ”
"The subordinates understand, is the young lady trying to test her?" Mu Han suddenly understood.
Ji Yun smiled and picked up a glass of wine on the table, and drank it into her throat, the faint aroma of wine made her a little intoxicated.
put down a sentence, "keep an eye on people" and left the music shop incognito.
For the past few days, I have been keeping an eye on that person, reporting his whereabouts and what I have done at the end of the day to Master Guoshi.
On this day, I also want to follow that person's back as usual.
However, the behavior of that person today is a little strange, and after going around several streets in a row, there is no purpose at all.
I couldn't help but get closer with some curiosity, and suddenly the man disappeared in the blink of an eye!
When I was surprised to show up and chase out, my shoulders sank, "Who are you?" What are you doing with this king? ”
"This king?" In this world, not everyone can call themselves kings at will, unless they ......
"Huh...... I haven't even figured out the identity of this king, do you still have the courage to follow this king? The man in blue smiled arrogantly, but there was no coldness in his eyes, which made me relax a little.
"The road is on the side, I'm just passing by, do you have any evidence that I'm following you?" If he is a prince, how can he show his identity without concealment, he must be deceiving and scaring himself!
"Really? Your road has been with this king for three days, since you are so fateful, why don't you go with this king to see it......" As he spoke, he turned over his sleeves, and the peach blossom branches appeared in his hands, and he attacked from the side in the blink of an eye.
I unhurriedly drew my sword and attacked him.
There are eighteen kinds of weapons, but no matter how the appearance changes, the texture used to make the weapon will not change.
I'm used to seeing cold soldiers of copper and iron, and it's the first time I've seen someone shoot with a dead branch.
This surprised me, but I couldn't help but sigh that the other party's martial arts moves were so high!
Soon, I was a little powerless, and in desperation, I could only take out the smoke bomb that the national teacher handed over to me for emergency in advance, and after throwing it down, I said that when the other party's vision was blocked, I quickly dodged and left!
"Huh...... Do you want to force this king? Then don't blame this king for being unkind! ……”
