Chapter 288: It's Home.
Do you still have to struggle a bit?
No, this quilt is so soft and comfortable, or the home (chuáng) is comfortable, and sleeping is steady.
Home, home.
Why does this sound so heartwarming?
Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed while thinking, and the upper and lower eyelids of the originally open big eyes began to fight.
Chu Yunshen didn't leave, he just watched the lion cat meowing and meowing from the side (chuáng).
The frost in the eyes of those Danfeng has long been gone, and some are just simple pampering and infinite tenderness.
When the lion cat purred evenly, Chu Yunshen left the inner room lightly, and his robe was even always paying attention, for fear of making some noise.
In fact, how can Cheng Xiaoxiao wake up so easily, she is just a cat's instinctive habit (xg) to move her ears when she sleeps, but those who care about it will take it seriously.
When Chu Yunshen sat back at the tea table again, the meal that Cheng Xiaoxiao said looked delicate and delicious had already been cold.
Chu Yunshen didn't call for the kitchen to prepare again, just ate a few bites of hard rice with the vegetarian dish and asked someone to remove the things, and didn't forget to ask the kitchen to simmer fish soup and wait for him to command.
It was still early, and Chu Yunshen was also busy all night in order to find Cheng Xiaoxiao, originally he didn't feel tired, compared to the previous situation when he was busy day and night, and he didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, Chu Yunshen really felt that these were just trivial things now.
But for some reason, as long as he thought that the lion cat in the inner room was sleeping soundly, and the soft little (shēn) body made a 'purring' sound, he couldn't read the scroll in his hand now, and his eyelids couldn't help but want to close.
Why don't you sleep with her for a while?
Thinking like this, Chu Yunshen really walked to the side (chuáng), but he didn't get into the bed, just lay down next to the lion cat (shēn), and after a while, he also made an even breathing sound.
When Xiao Wu stepped up his time and hurriedly came to knock on the door with a (qg) newspaper, Chu Yunshen in the inner room and the lion cat on the side of his face were immersed in their respective dreams and had not yet woken up.
When Xiao Wu came, the night outside the house was already as thick as ink, and he knocked on the door again and again, but there was no sound of footsteps in the house.
The Lord is still out so late?
Xiao Wu wanted to leave in confusion, but he felt that something was wrong, he could still feel the inner breath of his master (shēn) fluctuating in the room.
But it shouldn't be, according to the Lord's hearing, how could it be that you didn't hear a knock at the door?
Even if you don't hear it, you should be able to feel the inner breath on him (shēn).
After hesitating at the door for a long time, Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and knocked on the door, and he was not afraid of death and deliberately made the knock louder.
He wants to leave, too, but isn't that a (qg) situation?
How urgent this (qg) report is, in case of delay, it won't be as simple as him being hit by the board alone, so let's bite the bullet!
Fortunately, Xiao Wu didn't wait too long, although Chu Yunshen said that he slept soundly, he still had vigilance (xg), but it was not as high as before.
Xiao Wu's knock on the door was very soft at the beginning, and Chu Yunshen had not slept enough because of Cheng Xiaoxiao for several days, coupled with those strange dreams.
It just so happened that he hadn't slept all night last night, so Chu Yunshen, who had finally fallen asleep, would not be able to react for a while.
This Xiao Wu's knock on the door intensified, and Chu Yunshen, who had closed his eyes tightly, suddenly woke up, and he moved the lion cat that was pressing his face with (i) strands to the side little by little, and he quickly turned (shēn) down (chuáng) to go to the outer room.
As he walked, he didn't forget to tidy up his robe, which he naturally did after he went outside.
The lion cat in the inner room was still asleep, smacking its lips and grinding its teeth from time to time, while Xiao Wu in the outer room had already handed his rearranged book to Chu Yunshen.
After leaving Chu Yunshen's room, Xiao Wu went to the dungeon of the palace, with Mu Bai's medicine, He Lulu in the dungeon had already woken up, but it seemed that the whole person was still in a trance.
Seeing Xiao Wu walking in without a human skin mask, He Lulu didn't react at first, and it was only after Xiao Wu spoke that He Lulu realized Xiao Wu's (shēn) share.
"I'm going to take you back to Flower Street to find your friend."
Xiao Wu walked up to Helulu and said this sentence very dryly, and stepped forward to quickly open the shackles and shackles on Helulu (shēn).
After all this, Xiao Wu hurriedly took a few steps back, and did not forget to throw the clothes that were originally hanging on his arms to Helulu.
Helulu moved his hands and feet without hesitation, and took the clothes casually and divided them by two and changed his outfit.
"What do you have to do with Yuanyuan?" When Xiao Wu and He Lulu were about to walk to the Orchid Pavilion, He Lulu finally couldn't help but ask.
"I want to ask her something, don't worry, it has nothing to do with her."
Xiao Wu changed into a new mask before leaving the house, and he could speak with the same smell of sheep (rou) as Helulu.
He Lulu saw that Xiao Wu didn't want to talk more and knew the importance of this matter (xg), so he naturally didn't ask any more questions.
Yuanyuan really knew about the orchid being taken away, although she was shorter than Manli to enter the orchid pavilion, but because of Helulu's reputation among the orchids, she was cared for by the old bustard.
Because of this, Yuanyuan will be treated better than other orchids, and she will naturally know more things (qg).
Xiao Wu wrote down all the news that Yuanyuan said in the book, and when He Lulu instructed Yuanyuan, he motioned to He Lulu to leave quickly. Although Yuanyuan saw some clues, she didn't dare to say much, just said goodbye to Helulu with tears in her eyes.
Before leaving, Yuanyuan kindly added a few words to Xiao Wu
"This matter is very involved, it seems that the big boss behind the scenes has a big background, no matter what the reason is, if you want to investigate this matter, you must remember to be cautious in everything."
Xiao Wu naturally knew who the 'big boss behind the scenes' was, but he couldn't explain more, so he could only bow his head to Yuan Yuan and thank Yuan Yuan for her kindness.
Returning to the Jingwang Mansion again, Xiao Wu sent He Lulu back to the cell, and he hurried to meet Tingzhu Songtao and others.
As early as when Xiao Wu went to look for He Lulu, he heard that Zhu Songtao's side also used the dark guard network to search intensively in the capital, which would just report to Xiao Wu the (qg) report they got.
After integrating all these messages, Xiao Wu hurriedly went to Chu Yunshen to report, and then there was the scene of knocking on the door just now.
Fortunately, there was not much delay (qg), and Chu Yunshen, who had regained his sanity when he opened the door, had now carefully read the book handed over by Xiao Wu.
"Lord, what the lion cat said is true. The subordinates took Helulu to the orchid pavilion to investigate again, and found that there were indeed orchids with good character and appearance who were secretly sent away every once in a while. ”
Xiao Wu saluted Chu Yunshen respectfully, and reported the matter of his investigation (QG) from the beginning.
Hearing that Xiao Wu went to confirm it on purpose, Chu Yunshen just frowned, but didn't say anything more.
Although Xiao Wu was saluting, his eyes kept peeking at Chu Yunshen's face. When he caught a glimpse of Chu Yunshen's face as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to report
"Yuanyuan said that she had a sister who was very close to her and was also picked, although they have not been in touch since then, but Yuanyuan once met the orchid on the street."
It seems that in order to highlight that his investigation of going to the Orchid Pavilion to find Yuanyuan is indeed effective, Xiao Wu deliberately picked the news he got from Yuanyuan first and said it all over again
"That orchid is even more beautiful and moving than when she was in the orchid pavilion before, and she is so angry when she calls back and forth. Yuanyuan specially asked the onlookers in Beijing, and heard that the orchid had become the favored concubine of the military department's squire. ”
"Oh? The Squire of the Army? ”
Chu Yun replied meaninglessly, but didn't say anything.
"It's Lord Zuo, the squire of the military department. In addition, Yuanyuan said that her sister was sent away five years ago, and it seems that other orchids were sent away earlier. ”
As soon as Xiao Wu's words fell, Chu Yunshen's thin lips were tightly pursed.
There was such a thing (qg) five years ago, which means that Chu Jingxuan has been deploying since at least five years ago.
It is precisely because he knows the seriousness of the situation (xg) that Xiao Wu will rush over in such a hurry, except for the news from Yuanyuan's side, listening to the news that Zhu and they found out is even more terrifying.
"Tingzhu found out that the Eighth Prince began to send orchids to the ministers of the court and the central government four years ago, but this matter is very common and has not attracted the attention of others." Xiao Wu thought about it and asked puzzled
"The Eighth Prince gave all the orchids to the officials of the court and the central government, up to the squire of the military department, down to the treasurer and grain officer, but he obviously took the orchid away five years ago or even earlier, why did he only start acting four years ago?"
Chu Yunshen took the book handed over by Xiao Wu in his hand and flipped through it, replying to Xiao Wu's words as he flipped through it
"How can an ordinary orchid get on the stage, and how do you know that he didn't have these small actions before? Don't forget that there are several people in the palace who are also him. ”
After Chu Yunshen reminded Xiao Wu like this, he understood that Chu Jingxuan had started cultivating these orchids a long time ago, just waiting for them to come in handy.
As for the people in the harem, it seems that there are really a few inconspicuous beauties Jieyu who have been 'honored' to His Majesty by the Eighth Prince in recent years.
Xiao Wu will also update a roster and relationship network when they enter the palace every year, and those little tricks naturally can't escape the eyes of the dark guards.
However, these other princes and Emperor Chu Hongzhen will also investigate clearly, which is not unusual.
"You just said that the people who were sent were very scattered, but they were all officials of the DPRK and China?"
Chu Yunshen looked at the book in his hand again, and he gently closed the book and put it on the desk.
"Yes, and these officials actually have a close personal relationship with the Eighth Prince, and in recent years, they have directly become the Eighth Prince's faction."
Xiao Wu hung his head and prayed attentively.
"Huh."
Chu Yunshen actually chuckled lightly, and said with some sneer
As soon as the orchid was sent out, everyone had a beautiful concubine in their home. Even if you don't plan to have a good relationship, you won't say that the old man is not. ”
The sarcastic arc at the corner of Chu Yunshen's mouth had not subsided, and he actually added another sentence
"Winning people's hearts is indeed what Lao Ba is best at."
Xiao Wu nodded approvingly, and was also a little surprised by the ability of the Eighth Emperor Chu Jingxuan.
