Chapter 39: Persuasion
After the second prince's birthday banquet, Lu Qingzi gradually noticed that the atmosphere in the mansion had changed somewhat. There were suddenly more small maids in the house, distributed all over the house, and even there were a few more maids in the dance hall. It seems that he is looking for someone, Lu Qingzi thought, could it be that something happened in this mansion?
Because of the relationship between these people, Lu Qingzi's desire to explore the study again was dispelled. The chance of exposure is too great, and she doesn't dare to take risks because of an unknown thing, so she can only hold her heart and wait for the opportunity slowly.
On this day, Lu Qingzi finished practicing dance from the garden. The night has begun, but except for a few dancing girls in the house, Zhou Yao has not been seen.
According to the habit of weekdays, at this time of the day, Zhou Yao has already sat in the house after washing and sitting on the bed, but today, he is not in the house.
Another hour passed, but Lu Qingzi still didn't see Zhou Yao come back. She began to feel a little relieved, after all, when she was sick with a high fever, she took care of herself, and it was this friendship, and she should go out to find it at this moment.
was about to go out to look for it, but saw Zhou Yao suddenly push open the door in a panic, with a look of panic on his face. Lu Qingzi couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" I was about to go out to you. ”
Zhou Yao saw Lu Qingzi in front of him, but the horror in his eyes still did not disappear. only glanced at the other dancing girls in the house, stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Qingzi out, Lu Qingzi didn't know what to do, and followed her to a clearing in the garden. In the moonlight, only the two of them were here, seeing her like this, Lu Qingzi was even more suspicious: "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Yao approached Lu Qingzi and whispered to her: "In the house, someone is looking for that totem." ”
"What?" Lu Qingzi was taken aback, don't think about it, the secret of the totem has been exposed, no wonder, the atmosphere in this mansion has become so strange recently.
Zhou Yao nodded, and whispered everything that happened not long ago to Lu Qingzi. Before returning to the house, she was also sent by Zhao Yao to run errands, and on the way back, she happened to pass by a room and heard a conversation coming from inside.
"The totem on Chen Kui's arm was not drawn by her, how did she know?"
"She still didn't have it when she entered the house, and the person who told her must still be in this house."
"Don't worry, look for it slowly, as long as that person is still in our house, we can find her out one day."
When she heard these words, Zhou Yao only felt that her hands were trembling slightly. She didn't know how to get back here, and the moment she pushed the door open, her palms were already covered with cold sweat,
Lu Qingzi looked at her appearance at the moment, and comforted her: "Don't panic first, no one knows it's you yet." If you do this, it is easy for people to target you. ”
"But... If it goes on like this, it won't be long before it finds out about me. Zhou Yao looked at Lu Qingzi, her face was very ugly.
"Find a way to clear your suspicion and go out of the house, but you also know how difficult it is." Lu Qingzi pondered for a moment, looked at her and said, "Or, find a strong enough backer and hide behind him, and you won't have to be afraid of anything anymore." ”
This is the only way, they are just women, how difficult it is to survive in this troubled world. Zhou Yao only has this way to go at the moment, otherwise even if he escapes Baifu, he will also be caught by Bai Fanghua. After listening to Lu Qingzi's words, Zhou Yao's flustered heartbeat slowly eased.
She was right, there was only one way for her to go.
On the second day, Zhou Yao came to Zhao Yaoye and asked her to introduce ministers to rely on, she didn't want to be just a dancing girl for the rest of her life, she was still young and wanted to earn a way back for herself.
Zhao Yao also agreed, after all, in this white mansion, it is enough for her to be favored by a dancing girl, and there is no need for a second person to share the favor.
Lu Qingzi stayed aside, and Zhao Yao also looked at Lu Qingzi's face, and said to her: "Egret, you are so young and beautiful, you should also make plans in advance." If you wish, I can introduce you to some ministers of the DPRK and China. ”
Lu Qingzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The girl is kind, the slave is alone, without a father or mother, it is a blessing to have such a quiet day today, and I dare not ask for anything else." Thank you for your kindness!"
Zhao Yao also saw that she was unwilling, so she didn't continue to say anything.
Within a few days, Zhao Yao suddenly left Baifu with Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao said that Zhao Yao would also take her to introduce ministers.
When leaving, Zhao Yao also took a deep look at Lu Qingzi, that look was meaningful, and for a moment Lu Qingzi was very frightened.
After the two left, because Zhao Yao also took Zhou Yao out today, they naturally couldn't continue to practice dance.
When the other dancers saw that they were finally free today, they didn't know where they went. At this moment, the room was empty, only Lu Qingzi was sitting on the bed alone, and just now Zhao Yao also glanced at her, like a dark cloud, lingering in her heart, and she couldn't disperse for a long time. She had a hunch that it was Zhou Yao today, and soon, it would be her turn.
After thinking for a while, she finally got up and walked out of the house, she hadn't eaten her favorite white osmanthus cake for a long time.
At this moment, inexplicably, she suddenly missed the taste very much.
When a person came to the street and bought the osmanthus cake, Zhao Yaoye's eyes in his mind still hadn't dispersed.
In a trance, his body touched the oncoming man.
"Ahh Lu Qingzi was knocked and stumbled and sat on the ground.
"Don't you walk with long eyes?" The man's voice was very fierce, Lu Qingzi raised his head, and there was a man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes standing in front of him, looking at him fiercely.
Lu Qingzi picked up the white osmanthus cake that fell to the ground and apologized in a low voice. The moment she looked up, the man was momentarily dazzled by the beauty of the woman in front of her.
"Yo, it's a sign!" The man reached out very obscenely, trying to touch her tender cheek. Lu Qingzi dodged, his eyes were full of disgust and took a step back: "What are you doing?" ”
"What do I do?" The man smiled lewdly and said, "Little girl, you deliberately bumped into my arms, and you still ask me what I want to do?" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, and was about to touch Du Lu Qingzi's cheek, but a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Stop." ”
The man's hand stopped, looking at the source of the conversation.
Lu Qingzi turned around, but saw Wei Qingdai walking towards this side with two attendants behind her.
The man saw another woman with a sign coming, and was about to continue to say something tiger-wolf, but saw that the two attendants behind her had already stepped forward. The man glanced at Lu Qingzi unwillingly, and then left with a cold snort.
Lu Qingzi brushed her body: "The little woman thanked the girl." ”
