Chapter 14: Midnight Search
Even if the little guy is Chu Yimiao, as long as she doesn't say it, no one will know, with Lu Yuanbai's torture methods, Chu Yimiao's life is difficult to protect before she agrees with her.
Because of today's move, it is inevitable that the second lady will fall out of favor in the Protector Prince, and when Chu Jingshu passed, the Protector Princess's face was impatient and he threw his sleeves away.
"Auntie, my sister has been missing for many days, you have to take care of your health, even if you find it one day, your reputation may not be good......"
Chu Jingshu deliberately dropped these words in front of her, and the second lady was immersed in grief, and now she only looked forward to Chu Yimiao's return, and had nothing else to ask for.
Lu Yuanbai pushed her into the carriage first, and then did he go in, as soon as he untied her dumb hole, she opened her mouth and scolded: "What does this mean, prince?"
"I'm afraid you're worried about the Protector Mansion, so I'll take you back to see, maybe when it will be next time. ”
Chi Yingchu still felt that his words were not credible, and his frowning brows did not stretch: "It's just like this?"
"Then what do you think this king wants?" Lu Yuanbai asked her rhetorically.
She was so angry with him that she raised the curtain and pretended to look at the long street outside, and she didn't want to face him, her eyes unintentionally saw Zhong Jingsong in the crowd, and she was secretly happy.
But Lu Yuanbai was still sitting next to her, she didn't dare to shout, and the next quarter of an hour Jing Song's eyes moved over, stayed for a moment and then moved away, as if he didn't see her.
She couldn't help but be frustrated, put down the curtain and stopped looking, Lu Yuanbai couldn't help but laugh when she saw her smile sadly.
"You are here to change your face for this king's performance, this year's troupe will not watch this year's troupe without you on stage. ”
"Lord, go home. She spoke sullenly.
Lu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't want to go somewhere else?"
"I don't want to. With him with her, she still has the mind to wander around.
When the carriage of the Four Princes' Mansion galloped by, Zhong Jingsong's face became solemn, he had checked some information in the past few days, she had little to do with Chi Yingchu, but Chu Yimiao reacted abnormally on the day of the funeral.
What the specific situation was at that time, I'm afraid only the person concerned knows best, but Chu Yimiao is nowhere to be found now, and the woman who appeared in Lu Yuanbai's mansion was just right at the right time.
He summoned some of the guards and whispered in their ears, "Do as I say." ”
Tonight, he had to sneak into the Four Kings' Mansion again to ask about this matter.
Chi Yingchu returned to the palace with Lu Yuanbai, and Zhao Lique was shocked when he saw her dress: "What's going on? ”
Lu Yuanbai naturally didn't need to explain to her, Chi Yingchu shook his head: "The prince took me to the Protector's Mansion." ”
Zhao Lique wanted to ask again, she locked herself in the house and didn't go out, and when she was about to fall asleep late at night, she heard a slight movement from the window.
Chi Yingchu picked up the dagger and walked over, and when she pushed open the window lattice and saw that it was Zhong Jingsong, her eyes were shocked: "Why are you?"
Zhong Jingsong turned over and came in, thinking of the purpose of his coming, and went straight to the point: "You are the third lady of the Protector's Mansion, right?
The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she was silent to answer his question, and he felt more and more that his guess was correct.
"If you want, I'll tell the Lord Protector tomorrow and let them take you back, but you need to explain what you meant by what you said last time. ”
"I don't want to leave now, there are some things that can only be found out if you stay here, if you want to help, then help me find out the man in black who was in Linpo that day......"
Chi Yingchu hid the matter of his rebirth into Miss Chu San, and told him the truth about the man in black.
"So you suspect that the man in black has something to do with Lu Yuanbai?" Zhong Jingsong furrowed his brows deeply.
"The timing of his appearance was so coincidental that I couldn't help but suspect him. ”
She rolled down her throat, wanting him to help her take a look at the Zhenguo Mansion, but she couldn't say anything.
"I'm also venturing to come tonight, so I shouldn't stay longer, but you have something to entrust me, and I will do my best. ”
She knew that Zhong Jingsong was a person who did what he said, and if she got his words, then she had nothing to worry about.
"Yes, you go quickly!" Chi Yingchu opened the door and wanted him to leave, but when she saw Lu Yuanbai coming with the guards, she closed the door again.
Seeing this, Zhong Jingsong felt a little uneasy in her heart, and her face became condensed: "It's too late now, you hide quickly." ”
Before she finished speaking, there were a few knocks on the door, Zhong Jingsong looked around, the house was simply furnished, and there was no place to hide.
"Chu Yimiao, there are thieves in the mansion, and other courtyards have been searched, and the guards said that when they see the thieves coming towards you, open the door quickly. ”
"Thief, I slept well here, and I didn't see any suspicious people. Chi Yingchu pretended to wake up, pressed Zhong Jingsong into the futon, and then quickly lay in.
The next moment, the door was forcibly broken, Lu Yuanbai walked in with a cold face, and the guards stood outside and didn't dare to look inside.
"Why don't you open the door?" he asked, his gaze sweeping over her.
"The prince didn't give me a chance to get up," Chi Yingchu hugged the quilt tightly and bent his body into a ball, so that he wouldn't find out about Zhong Jingsong's existence, "You see I haven't even worn any clothes." ”
Lu Yuanbai touched her forehead: "Why are you hunched over, but you are not feeling well?"
If she said that she was sick, then Lu Yuanbai would have a reason to find someone to check on her, and she couldn't jump into the trap he dug.
"I'm here for menstruation, it's not a big deal, and the prince doesn't have to worry about it. ”
Seeing that he was still standing and not leaving, Chi Yingchu patted the collapse next to him with one hand: "The prince is coming to rest? ”
Lu Yuanbaijun's face darkened, and thinking that she was not clean, he turned around and left directly.
She waited for him to lead the people away, and only breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door, Zhong Jingsong lifted the futon with an unnatural crimson on his face.
"Third Miss, I am so offended today. ”
Chi Yingchu didn't take it seriously, if he had to do it, he wouldn't have made such a move, besides, she had always regarded him as a brother in her heart, and she could naturally face it calmly without distractions.
"If you go out now, I'm afraid he'll still be outside and wait, and you won't leave until dawn tomorrow." The reason why she said this was not only for him, but also for herself.
"I understand. Zhong Jingsong nodded in response, he heard that Miss Chu San was arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, but this was not the case today.
As everyone knows, here in Chi Yingchu, her pampering and arrogance is only to Lu Yuanbai, and she is willing to make trouble for him to live in peace.
Zhong Jingsong left before dawn on the second day, Chi Yingchu obviously fell asleep on the table last night, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the couch, covered with bedding, and his clothes were good.
Zhao Lique came over again early in the morning, saying that it was half less than usual for the things that had just been sold to her, and he suspected that the subordinates had swallowed it privately, so he punished the subordinates in a fit of anger but almost beat them to death.
She cried and grabbed Chi Yingchu's sleeve, and her words were full of complaints: "I clearly didn't let people be heavy-handed, just a few slaps, why is she going to die?"
