Chapter 23 Saving Wei Qingdai
Lu Qingzi hid in the shadows until Wen Ye finished talking to the messenger and left, and then rushed to catch up with the messenger who was leaving.
"Are you Miss Lu?"
The messenger looked at the woman in front of him, slightly incredulous, although she was still beautiful, but she was despondent.
Lu Qingzi nodded, and said urgently: "I can go and spy on the enemy's situation, please help me bring a message to the prince."
The messenger's brow furrowed, but he skimmed her sleeve and left without giving any answer.
The messenger naturally knew that Lu Qingzi had a good skin, and it might be much easier to sneak into that person's mansion, but such a delicate daughter, even if she successfully sneaked in, how sure could she be? If exposed, everything that was done before may be gone.
Looking at the back of the messenger leaving silently, the hope that Lu Qingzi had finally hoped for was leaving in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed in her heart.
Following the path he walked on last time, Lu Qingzi was about to go to the stream to relax, but who knew that before he reached the stream, he heard the sound of falling water.
This voice Lu Qingzi is very familiar, and when he looked closely, there was indeed a woman in front of him who had fallen into the water.
At this moment, Lu Qingzi reacted very quickly and broke a branch on the tree next to him, then quickly ran to the edge of the stream, handed the long branch forward, and shouted, "Catch it!" Don't panic. “
It was a woman who fell into the water, still conscious during the struggle, and struggled to grab the branch handed over by Lu Qingzi.
Qingzi tugged hard, and she was already dragged forward. Then he hurriedly reached out and grabbed her forearm, and let her return to the shore by her own strength.
The woman was hunched and coughing violently, her clothes soaked with water.
Lu Qingzi looked at her appearance, and couldn't help but think of the sunset in the water, it seemed to be so embarrassed, this woman's appearance was exactly the same as herself that day.
Lu Qingzi couldn't help but gently pat her back and let her spit out all the water she drank in.
The woman slowed down again, and then she looked up and said sincerely, "Thank you girl for saving your life."
Lu Qingzi noticed that the woman in front of her was very beautiful, her eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of desire, and her beautiful eyes were even more unforgettable at first sight.
"It's a gesture." Lu Qingzi looked at her and said, "Don't take it to heart."
The two were talking here when they suddenly heard two hurried footsteps behind them.
When I turned around, I saw two maids hurriedly running to help the woman on the ground, and asked her repeatedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you, how did you become like this?"
Lu Qingzi had already suffered many insults before, and at this moment he was afraid that this woman would be like those people before, but he didn't expect the woman to shake her head, looked at Lu Qingzi who was standing aside and said gratefully: "I accidentally fell into the water, it was this girl who saved me."
The two maids saluted Lu Qingzi and thanked her for saving her young lady.
Lu Qingzi didn't say anything and turned around to leave, but unfortunately saw the queen's guard of honor coming slowly behind, and sighed in his heart that it was really unfortunate.
When she arrived, the queen looked at Wei Qingdai, who was covered in water and trembling slightly, and glanced coldly at Lu Qingzi, who was standing next to her, and reprimanded: "Lu Meiren, what's going on?"
Wei Qingdai, who was on the side, couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard the queen's words.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman in front of me was Lu Qingzi, the first beauty in Li Kingdom, and she was the one who saved herself.
Lu Qingzi was so kind, Wei Qingdai didn't want her to be wronged, and hurriedly said: "Back to the queen's mother, this is not Lu Meiren's business, it's all the courtier's fault, the courtier's daughter saw that the scenery here is good, so she came here alone for a walk, who would have thought that she didn't pay attention to her feet, and actually fell into the water, it was Lu Meiren who heard my call for help and came to save the courtier."
After Wei Qingdai finished explaining, the queen's eyes softened, "Lu Meiren has a meritorious service in saving people, and she will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, go ahead!" “
Lu Qingzi saluted, turned around and walked towards the cold palace.
Looking at her appearance, Wei Qingdai understood that Lu Qingzi didn't care about the reward, she didn't know that she was the young lady of the Wei family, but because she was kind-hearted, she saved herself, and she couldn't help but have a good impression of Lu Qingzi, a Li countryman.
"Let's go back and change your clothes!" The queen looked at Wei Qingdai and said, "Otherwise, it won't be good if you get caught in the cold."
Wei Qingdai replied respectfully: "Yes, Queen Xie."
Not long after Lu Qingzi returned to the cold palace, the eunuch beside the queen sent a hundred taels of silver, said a set of good and obedient words for her, put it on the table and left.
Lu Qingzi looked at the one hundred taels of silver and didn't feel anything, after all, this thing was nothing to the queen.
Sitting on the bed at the moment, thinking about the time of the next messenger coming, judging from the date on the letter, to the days she followed Wen Ye, the messenger seemed to come to deliver the letter every fifteen days.
In that case, the next time she will go to the messenger again, twice if it doesn't work, and three times if it doesn't work, and she will always let the messenger loosen.
She is not willing to give up like this, she must help Wen Ye return to the country.
Replace the torn clothes, and in the blurred bronze mirror, although the clothes are simple, but still beautiful.
Lu Qingzi knew,...... This is the best weapon she has.
After another three or five days, the door of the cold palace was pushed open again.
It's just that this time is not the time for the eunuch to come and deliver food to her.
Lu Qingzi stood up and glanced at the outsiders vigilantly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, it turned out to be the young lady of the Qi Guowei family, Wei Qingdai.
How did she come here? It's a cold place.
Is she here to humiliate her? Or something else? Lu Qingzi frowned for a moment.
"Miss Lu, thank you for saving your life last time, a little gift, and I hope you can accept it!" As she spoke, Wei Qingdai asked the maid behind her to come forward, carrying some thank-you gifts in her hands.
Lu Qingzi looked at her, Wei Qingdai spoke politely, which made Lu Qingzi even more surprised, she had been in Qi Country for a long time, and Wei Qingdai was the first person to talk to her so gently.
Lu Qingzi didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
After a while, Lu Qingzi looked at Wei Qingdai and said, "The queen has already appreciated things, so I don't need Miss Wei's gift!"
She reminded herself in her heart that Wei Qingdai was from Qi State, and she and her could not be on the same line after all.
Seeing Lu Qingzi's attitude, Wei Qingdai was not annoyed, but asked the maid to put the gift in her hand on the table and said to her: "Miss Lu, you can accept it!"
Lu Qingzi didn't look at her anymore, but said to her: "Miss Wei's gift is too ashamed, please go back!" A place like the Cold Palace is not for Miss Wei to come. “
