Chapter 197: Allies

Xu Cuiwei was completely stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned pale, and she opened her mouth before she could say anything, and she involuntarily bent her knees.

"Alas, Xu Zhaorong doesn't have to make a big salute, Concubine Xian hasn't said anything yet." Xiaohong picked her up first and comforted, "Don't worry, we didn't come to embarrass you." ”

Xu Cuiwei was still frightened, her lips opened and closed several times, but finally she stood dumb.

"The general's wife is right, if I embarrass you, I won't see you in private, why don't you go into the house and say?" Ruoyun raised her eyes and looked at the side room not far away, and said something.

Xu Cuiwei swept away her usual calmness, only nodded indifferently, and spread her hands to lead the way.

"It's just me right now, but there's no one else?" Ruoyun looked around when she entered the house, and looked at the layout of this Caiwei Palace, so she smiled and sat down on the side.

"Yes, there is no one else." Xu Cuiwei didn't dare to sit down, and replied jerkyly.

Xiaohong was not very restrained, and coughed lightly and went to get tea.

Ruoyun sat for a while, and when she saw that Xu Cuiwei was always standing on the side and was silent, she smiled slightly and said softly: "That Biluo girl is something I was fortunate enough to meet in Jiangnan. Now she has a good life. She said, raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "I don't know Xu Zhaorong, can you know?" ”

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Xu Cuiwei was pale and sweaty with her sideburns slightly sweaty, and finally raised her eyes to look at her.

"I don't mean to threaten people, and I don't have such a habit." Ruoyun saw that Xiaohong had taken the tea, so she took the pot and added water to the cup, and poured a cup for Xu Cuiwei.

"And your purpose?" Xu Cuiwei simply opened the skylight and said brightly, and even gave up the honorific title.

Ruoyun smiled. But he sighed and looked embarrassed: "I'm just running into a tricky matter, and I want to ask if you would like to exchange conditions with me." ”

Xu Cuiwei gritted her teeth. After carefully observing her expression for a long time, and seeing that Xiaohong didn't care about drinking tea on the side, she finally nodded: "Okay, you say." ”

"Since I know about Biluo, I know that you have the heart to repay your kindness, and you have no intention of being old but deep in the palace." Ruoyun said lightly, and suddenly her eyes lit up. The conversation changed and said, "You help me clear up Lin Duyan's grievances, and I will allow you to be free!" ”

She threw out the conditions word for word. He sat back and waited for her to answer.

Xu Cuiwei Huo Ran raised her head and looked at her in disbelief, but when she saw her smiling, she couldn't help but tremble. After a long silence, he gladly sat down in an empty seat beside her. Grab the tea and drink it lightly.

"Or do you have other requirements?" Ruoyun saw that her eyes were heavy and her fingers trembled slightly, so she immediately changed her words and let her choose.

"No...... Actually......" Xu Cuiwei bit her lip and suddenly sneered, shaking her head while laughing.

Ruoyun and Xiaohong looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.

Xu Cuiwei smiled, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her with burning eyes. He said softly: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is really kind, in fact, if you ask me to do something." You don't have to be able to do so. ”

"Why?" Ruoyun looked at her suspiciously, and her heart was on guard.

"Do you remember that when you and I first came to the palace, I visited the Chaolu Palace to show friendship?" Xu Cuiwei covered her lips with her sleeves, slowly wiped the tea from her lips, her eyes were bright, and she whispered, "Since you know where I come from, you might as well think about it?" ”

Ruoyun frowned and thought deeply, and suddenly came to her senses when she thought of a place: "You...... You...... Is it Flower Moon Tower? Xia Zhuyue's Flower Moon Tower?! ”

Xu Cuiwei nodded happily and confessed: "Although I said that my family was in the middle of the road, in fact, my father was an official, and I was overwhelmed by the change of thrones that year, exhausted my family wealth and borrowed countless debts, so my father and mother had to save their lives." Who knows that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, my family is outcast, the epidemic is rampant and I am the only one left, once upset, forced to repay debts, and tried to die to be saved in Huayue Building, only to know that this Huayue Building is full of poor people......"

Ruoyun listened to her, secretly frightened, and sighed: "Although Huayuelou saved you, it only gave you a place to stay, and had no intention of paying off your debts for you, fortunately, Lord Xu helped ......"

"Yes." Xu Cuiwei nodded affirmatively, "Fortunately, King Nan is not provoked by ordinary people, and those people only took three tenths of the debt and gave up." ”

Ruoyun suddenly sighed: "Even if it is three out of ten, you are willing to impersonate and enter the palace......"

"It's just a coincidence, I haven't accepted customers to pay off debts......" Xu Cuiwei smiled suddenly, her eyes were dark, as if she didn't want to mention more, and said, "So, I know that you are from a different surname Wangfu, even if it is to repay Huayuelou for saving your life, I should help you." ”

"That day...... You actually looked at it. Ruoyun remembered that Qingxuan took her to Huayue Tower to find Xia Zhuyue, she was extremely nervous at that time, not to mention the woman in front of her, even the old bustard did not leave an impression on her, and she went around and around and unintentionally got such help from her and didn't know it, and couldn't help laughing.

"But since you have set me free, I will not ask for it. I just don't know, will it be harmful to the Xu family? Xu Cuiwei asked uneasily.

"Naturally not, Niangniang will never harm you." Xiaohong saw that she was worried, and opened her mouth to promise, "Not only Niangniang, but I can also guarantee the safety of the Xu family." ”

"Naturally, it has nothing to do with the Xu family, but if you are free, the rise and fall of the Xu family will be determined by the Xu Mansion itself, and it will be a stranger to you in the future." Ruoyun Zhengse reminded, secretly sighing that under her lazy and careless appearance, she was so iron-clad and gracious.

"Okay, I will only repay the grace of the Xu family to help me and enter the palace as a puppet, and what happens to the Xu family in the future is not something I can decide." Xu Cuiwei said, her eyes revealing her yearning for the outside of the palace.

"No wonder, you were envious at the beginning." Ruoyun lowered her head and smiled, and looked at her with relief, "No wonder, you always remind me one or two." There are also people in this palace who are unwilling to be palace concubines. As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaohong.

"yes, I just don't know, what's next?" Xiaohong pouted and asked.

"This is going to ask 'Xu Zhaorong'." Ruoyun took a sip and said slowly.

"Who does the mother think did it?" Xu Cuiwei didn't beat around the bush, so Wei asked directly.

"It's not that I thought about it, but Hu Shu'er and Hu Jieyu - the blood begonia that I poured with my own hands." Ruoyun opened her mouth coldly, and the bright red poison that seemed to be like blood appeared in front of her, and at the same time, Hu Shu'er's crazy state appeared, and the feeling of fear and fear intertwined was leisurely, "It's a pity that no one sees it, even if she does, she is crazy now." ”

"Niangniang......" Xiaohong called her distressedly.

Xu Cuiwei was shocked, and when she saw her showing a little pain, she became a little embarrassed: "Since no one sees it, this is not easy, I just heard people say it in private, so I don't know how Chu Zhaoyuan knows so clearly...... But even if you don't know, far-fetched is dead and crazy, so why not check the source of the poison? ”

"The poison of the Western Regions, colorless and tasteless, dissipates after drinking, leaving no trace." If Yun has a headache, if there is evidence of guilt, the emperor may not leave Hu Shu'er to speak wildly, and he will not allow Chu Rulan to plant it.

"Then, only she can recruit herself?" Xu Cuiwei frowned, and reminded with a slight movement of her eyes.

"You mean she's not crazy?" Ruoyun stood up slowly, her wide sleeves were shocked, and she already had an idea in her heart, Chao Xiaohong said, "Go and invite King Huai for me, and take a look at Hu Jieyu." ”

"No need to please." Xiaohong reacted and smiled at her, "King Huai has to enter the palace every day to bring you three meals of medicine, have you forgotten?" ”

Ruoyun thought of the "iron-faced selflessness" of Huai Wang's persuasion, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, "I know, let's go see if Hu Shu'er is crazy or not." ”

"Alas, you ......" Xu Cuiwei wanted to stop but didn't, followed her all the way to Shuchang Pavilion, and heard the singing inside, so she attached her ear to Ruoyun and reminded, "Hu Jieyu hates you so much, even if she is not crazy, she will definitely do right with you." ”

"Hmm." Ruoyun glanced at the periphery of Shuchang Pavilion, and there were faint people singing at the top of their voices, at that time, Hu Shu'er was pregnant and energetic, and she was still in front of her, and she didn't want to be such a field now.

"Sister...... Don't go......" Xiaohong was a little stunned, shrunk to her side and tugged at her sleeve.

"It's because she's afraid to see me, not that I'm afraid to see her." Ruoyun was not afraid and ordered someone to knock on the door.

Who knew that the sound of singing stopped abruptly, and no one came for a long time, Ruoyun had no choice but to order someone to bang on the door and enter, and after walking a few steps, he saw a mess and overgrown weeds in Shuchang Pavilion, and it was no longer the flowers of the day, and people came and went.

"Looks like you're playing dumb." Xu Cuiwei had something to say, and gave Ruoyun a look.

"Report again." If Yun coldly ordered, a eunuch shouted "The virtuous concubine has arrived".

After a few sounds, there was still no movement inside, Ruoyun had to take Xu Cuiwei and Xiaohong inside, even if Xiaohong was afraid, she was still attentive at the moment, holding Ruoyun's hand and never letting go, ready to drag her away at any time.

When I walked to the inner hall, I heard someone in the middle of the bedroom whispering and intermittently: "Shh...... Someone's coming...... We hid...... Hide ......"

"Hu Jieyu, don't come unharmed?" Ruoyun stepped inside, although she was prepared, she still gasped when she saw Hu Shu'er's appearance.

I saw that Hu Shu'er was only wearing a single dress, her hair was scattered, her eyes were deep-set, her face was sallow and thin, her chapped lips opened and closed, and she was repeating "hide" repeatedly, while the only four or five palace people in front of her were cowering in the corner of the wall in front of her, trembling.

"Hu Jieyu, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, let's see who's coming?" Xu Cuiwei coughed lightly and loudly attracted her attention.

Hu Shu'er stiffened when she heard this, and then she turned around a little bit, and saw Ruoyun standing in formal clothes, she looked up and down carefully several times, and suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream: "Ghost! She cried out, hiding behind the bedpost as if she were fleeing, showing only one eye vigilantly, and kept crying, "There are ghosts! Ghosts! There's a ghost coming to me! ”

Her screams almost made the entire Shuchang Pavilion shake, Xiaohong had already covered her ears, Ruoyun frowned, and shouted at her: "Hu Shu'er, this palace is Su Ruoyun, thanks to you, this palace is not dead yet!" ”

Hu Shu'er really stopped screaming when she gave her such a drink, muttered instead, and kept shrinking her head behind the bed.

"What's the matter with her?" The more Xu Cuiwei looked at it, the more wrong it became, and asked the palace people. (To be continued......)
