Cold shoulder
When Chu Chenxuan was finally able to find time to report to the Peach Blossom Palace, he was turned away.
Here's how it happened:
That night, Chu Chenxuan once again moved from Wei'an Hall to Peach Blossom Hall, but was stopped by Lime who was waiting at the door of the dormitory for a long time.
Chu Chenxuan's impression of the maid beside Yeqing is actually not very deep, and he will remember that it was only because she was brought into the palace by Yeqing's trust, but the real impression is just that she is a calm and loyal maid, but this maid who has always adhered to the palace rules actually gave a very unceremonious eviction order after saluting him: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, forgive me, Liangdi has been unwell recently, it is difficult to sleep, and it is difficult to fall asleep today, if you wake up again, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well tonight, and please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be considerate of Liangdi's body, Don't disturb Liangdi. ”
But when Chu Chen was concentrating, he obviously heard Ye Qing's cough, but her personal maid told him that she had fallen asleep, and said that she had not slept well recently, and if he insisted on going in, he would be making fun of her body.
Chu Chenxuan finally vaguely realized that something seemed to be wrong, and he wanted to open the closed vermilion door and walk in to see her who had not been seen for a long time, but the maid named Lime blocked his way with anger on her face.
When Chu Chenxuan was considering whether to break in, the door opened by itself.
Kikyo walked out on tiptoe, closed the door carefully, bowed to Chu Chenxuan, and said in a low voice: "Please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince, Liangdi is afraid that she will not be able to take over today." ”
-- Although the tone is not as impulsive as that of lime, it is resolute that cannot be denied.
Chu Chenxuan looked at the obvious hint in the bellflower's eyes, thought about it again and again, and finally lowered his hand that was almost touching the door: "Then you will take care of Liangdi, and come back tomorrow." ”
However, on the second day, Chu Chenxuan did not arrive as promised.
Even the entire East Palace did not appear Chu Chenxuan's figure.
The news that Yeqing obtained came from Chu Chenxuan's secret guard, saying that Chu Chenxuan went out of the palace overnight to deal with urgent affairs.
The night is noncommittal.
However, she knew that Mei Zijin also went out of the palace that night. As for with whom? Don't bother guessing at all.
So on the third day, when Chu Chenxuan came in a hurry, he naturally ate the closed door again.
On the fourth day, it was not Chu Chenxuan who came, but Mei Zijin, who was "recovering from a serious illness".
At night, Qing almost personally went to the gate of the palace to greet Mei Zijin.
After lying in bed for more than half a month, whether she was really in a coma or not, Mei Zijin had lost a lot of weight, but the beauty was pale, and she would have a touching meaning, not to mention that Mei Zijin still came in costume on purpose.
The two of them were still sitting at the same table in the pavilion, and Mei Zijin still asked to retire from the crowd.
So this scene seems to go back to half a month ago.
Mei Zijin seemed to know everything about the situation in which she had been in a coma for half a month, and her smug feeling almost overflowed her face: "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, is my sister okay recently?" ”
Yeqing's tone was not hesitant or sharp, and it seemed to be different from what she deliberately showed on weekdays, but there was not much difference: "It really makes my sister worry, my sister's coma is half a month, I should have visited my sister, but my body is not angry, I am afraid that my sister will be sick and make matters worse, so I didn't go, who knew that my sister came to the Peach Blossom Hall first, it's really ...... I'm really sorry not to go, and I ask my sister not to take it to heart......"
