Chapter 146: Catching the Adulterer
"Have you really looked anywhere?" Ruoyun trembled and bit the word "where", but Bai Ze only nodded blankly.
Ruoyun comforted him a few words in frustration, but Bai Ze still left disappointed.
Before he left, Ruoyun lowered his face and shouted, "Go and report to your lord!" ”
Sure enough, a figure sprang out of the shadows outside the door and sped away.
Ruoyun gritted her teeth fiercely and put the chain close to her heart, if it weren't for Bai Ze's brother's heart, how could she not feel that there was someone in the secret? Rong Yixuan actually used Xiaohong to blackmail her, which was so despicable that it was really chilling.
Helpless, angry, anxious, Chiyan has not heard from him for a long time, Zhang Yu and Xiaohong are separated by Rong Yixuan, the only thing she can do is to do nothing!
She suddenly remembered Rong Jinhuan, what happened to Rong Jinhuan, who acted recklessly in the court, ridiculed the ministers, embarrassed her everywhere in the harem and let her go? According to Rong Yixuan's style, Rong Jinhuan is now more auspicious and less auspicious, but according to Rong Jinhuan's mind, he is bound to be auspicious.
The emperor has not yet had an heir, if the assassin succeeds, Rong Yixuan will rightfully succeed to the throne, if the assassin does not succeed, Rong Yixuan only needs to walk the news of the emperor's violent death before the emperor returns to the court, ascend the throne and control the capital for the important ministers to recognize, the ministers under the edict approve, and the veteran supports the acquiescence of the king with a different surname, even if Rong Jinhuan comes back, it will be useless.
Zhao Wuyang used this vain attempt to regain the lifeline of Tianyi, if the Star Picking Pavilion could not be destroyed, Tianyi would also be in danger, she was not a saint who had to hold the avenue to oppose Rong Yixuan, and she had no power or power to make waves and win a position, but in fact, there were no eggs under the nest. She understands this truth, and Rong Yixuan should also understand it, but he doesn't want to stop at the moment.
The more she thought about it, the colder she became. I couldn't help but tremble.
Fear, unprecedented fear, the palace that eats people and does not spit out bones and the fighting and killing of royal blood relatives since ancient times made her feel terrified from the bottom of her heart, she got acquainted with Rong Yixuan and was Rong Jinhuan's nominal concubine, and now she can't escape, shake off, or break free.
She seemed to be seriously ill, and when she thought about it, she collapsed on the bed, and was half asleep.
Ruoyun woke up in the middle of the night. Covered in wet and cold sweat, the moon was in the sky, and the night wind pushed open the window next to the inner door and blew the beaded curtains. The trees outside the window also rustled, and there were night insects singing softly, and it was a sad cry in her ears.
She closed her eyes, and Xiaohong's meticulous care for her in the past allowed her to sleep peacefully even if she was troubled. But now Xiaohong is controlled by others. She could not sleep.
She wanted to get up and close the window, and a touch of silver stood by the curtain at some point, her clothes fluttering and her demeanor outstanding.
Ruoyun suspected that she was wrong, and rubbed her eyes vigorously, but he had already sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hair with a white hosta as before, and that gentle smile without the slightest coldness was really in front of her.
"Lord Wang! Lord, you're back! She did not dare to cry out, but when she came to him, her nose was sore. My heart was beating wildly with excitement.
Joy overflowed the corners of her mouth but sank a little, and she unconsciously wept. Looking at Cheng Qingxuan's light and handsome face, he didn't dare to reach out and touch it, so he couldn't stop muttering: "I know that you won't forgive me, I know that I missed so much, but please save Xiaohong, please tell Bai Ze Cheng'er to be in the safest place in the capital, please save Tianyi and Rong Jinhuan!" Although he is not Mingjun, ......" She choked up, her teary eyes blurred and her expression could not be seen clearly. But the country has changed hands, the country will not return to the country, compared to Rong Yixuan, Rong Jinhuan can better control the lifeblood of Tianyi and prevent the villain from succeeding!
She wept silently for a long time, Cheng Qingxuan slowly raised her hand, her fingertips swept over her cheeks to wipe away the tears, and said softly: "Okay." As he spoke, he pushed her into his arms with a slight force in his hand.
The familiar smell and temperature came through the thin clothes, and she howled as soon as she was relieved.
"It's all right." He repeated it in her ear, reaching down her back.
She sobbed for a long time, perhaps relieved by the tension, perhaps relieved by his words, and fell asleep in the summer night clutching at his robe.
After some time, the uneasiness in her heart struck again, and she sat up suddenly, the thin quilt on her body was still well covered, just like when she slept.
She turned her head to look around, there was nothing unusual, it had been a long time since dawn.
Seeing that there were still two black shadow pestles at the door, she suddenly felt very lost, Cheng Qingxuan not only hadn't been here, but he hadn't come to the capital at all, even if he came to the capital to be heavily guarded, Rong Yixuan would not let him come so easily.
She smiled bitterly, Chi Yan may not have given him the letter at all, he may not have seen the letter at all, and even if he came, he might be as cold as Huai Xuanmo.
She's nothing more than ...... I had a long-awaited dream, but now I woke up with only a few left.
Before he had time to calm down from his loss, a familiar and sharp voice from Chu Rulan came from the door: "It doesn't matter whose guard you are!" Get out of the way of Hongu! This palace wants to go in and catch the traitor! ”
Ruoyun was stunned when she heard the word "catch the adulterer", and hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door, Chu Rulan was making a lot of noise there with the palace maid, and the jade step on her head shook with her head, and her fingertips couldn't stop clicking on this and that, almost poking the guard's nose.
She was furious and reprimanded: "What's the noise?!" ”
Chu Rulan was so imposing after she was promoted to Chongyuan, now that the emperor is not there, no one cares about her, her original plain clothes have long been replaced by bronzing peony patterns, she was stunned at first when she saw Ruoyun open the door, and then looked at her with a playful expression and sneered, pushed Ruoyun away, turned to a palace maid behind her, and said loudly: "Search for me!" ”
When several palace maids saw Chu Chongyuan's support, they wanted to go in with no one in their eyes.
"Wait!" Ruoyun stopped, and then her heart suddenly burst up, and she looked at Chu Rulan coldly, "Chu Chongyuan, when will it be your turn to search the place of the palace?!" ”
The palace maid stopped and looked at Chu Rulan, but Chu Rulan took a step forward, raised her chin fearlessly and said, "Naturally, there is a reason why I dare to come to your Chaolu Palace" said and clapped her hands.
As she high-fived, the head of a little palace maid poked out behind her, and Ruoyun recognized that this was the little palace maid who notified her that day that Wu Meiren was making trouble.
The little palace maid's timid expression was mixed with a little fear, and she stammered, "Yesterday...... Last night the slave and maid got up to add oil to the lamp, and heard the mother crying...... Call...... Call...... The prince ......" The little palace maid almost cried after speaking, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her.
Ruoyun's face turned red suddenly, and then turned white, because of her young age, this little palace maid also let her occasionally serve close on weekdays, but she didn't expect that such a little girl would become Chu Rulan's eyeliner, and Chu Rulan is really good at seizing the opportunity, remember that when she was serving the emperor, she was picking her to kneel, and now she is chasing the wind and shadows.
Chu Rulan looked at Ruoyun with her nostrils proudly, and asked the little palace maid again: "You say, did you see anyone?" ”
"Slave...... Slaves...... I didn't see anyone...... ...... in the house Black ......" replied to the little palace maid tremblingly.
"Didn't you say you added oil! How can it be dark?! Chu Rulan was furious.
The little palace maid knelt down with a "poof", and couldn't stop trembling: "The slave and maid lit the lamp, and I didn't see a figure...... The former slaves and maids did not know anything...... Niangniang ...... "The little palace maid tried to ask Ruoyun for help, but Ruoyun looked away.
She really dreamed last night, but it was the whispering in the dream that provoked Chu Rulan's Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but I am afraid that the rape is fake, and the uproar is true, and it is a capital crime for the palace concubine to go out of the wall, so Chu Rulan can take this opportunity to sue in front of the emperor and let her head fall to the ground!
She clenched her fingers, and looked at Chu Rulan, who was slightly taller than herself, with a very proud expression, and suddenly felt bad.
Chu Rulan listened to the words of the little palace maid, her face was gloomy and turned again, and she said arrogantly: "Then you mean to say, what was this before?" She looked around, snorted coldly, and said to the palace people behind her, "What are you waiting for?!" Search for me! ”
"This is the Morning Dew Palace of the main palace, no one can search here except for the emperor's order! If any of you dare to take a step, this palace will give him the capital crime and all the rods to death! Ruoyun flicked her sleeves suddenly, stood straight at the door, and glared angrily at Chu Rulan.
The palace maids looked at each other, and they didn't dare to step forward when they heard the "cane kill", and pushed each other back.
Chu Rulan saw that she was angry and had such courage, her momentum suddenly decreased by three points, and she was hesitating about how to deal with it, when a delicate and soft female voice suddenly came from behind her: "Oh, sister, could it be that you have a ghost in your heart, so you refuse to let the palace people search?" ”
Ruoyun secretly cursed, and there was no need to guess to know that Hu Shu'er was here
Hu Shu'er wore gold and silver, touched her lower abdomen that had not yet bulged, and on hot days, there were palace people with umbrellas and small soft chairs, so she was carried directly from the door to the outside of her bedroom, arrogant and domineering, and did not know how to restrain herself.
Without waiting for Ruoyun to answer, Hu Shu'er slowly got off the soft sedan chair, walked straight behind her with a smug smile, looked at a beautiful glass bowl, pinched it and fell to the ground, and the glass cup shattered.
Hu Shu'er saw that her eyes sank, but she pretended to be panicked and said, "Oh, I dropped my sister's things, it's a capital crime." Is my sister going to give me the death penalty? With a sneer in the corner of his eyes, he glanced at her and looked at the sky.
"My sister is a dragon in her belly, and she will be the prince of our Tianyi in the future, do you have to be careful, Sister Xian?" Chu Rulan added with understanding, and laughed with Hu Shu'er.
Ruoyun smiled gloomily when she heard this, if Rong Yixuan succeeded, the first person to die was Hu Shu'er and the child in her belly, where could the prince come? !
With Hu Shuer's big Buddha there, the palace maids did not hesitate, and actually stepped forward to "search", obviously searching people, secretly searching, turning the dormitory upside down, but carefully searching, the bedding was also turned over, but nothing was found.
Ruoyun pushed people aside, and watched her simple bedroom being copied and searched, and the palace people didn't find anything, so a palace maid took the object and made up a lie to pass on the "suspicion" of the virtuous concubine. (To be continued......)
