Chapter 20: A Trap
Chu Mojing was also stunned when he saw Su Wan dressed as a palace maid, and he was very surprised how she could appear here.
Su Wan winked at him and motioned for him not to be exposed.
Xia Yunxi walked up to Chu Mojing with a smile: "Fourth prince, I brought some snacks here today, you don't like to taste the charm." ”
Su Wan and Zi Yan put the dim sum on the table.
"Alright, you all go down!"
Su Wan, Zi Yan and the palace maid next to Xia Yunxi, Red Sleeves, all retreated, and Red Sleeves closed the door.
Red Sleeves looked at Su Wan and Zi Yan: "You two can go back." Red Sleeves warned: "What I saw just now, don't talk nonsense everywhere, otherwise your life will be in danger." ”
The two of them hurriedly said, "We didn't see anything just now. ”
Red Sleeves nodded with satisfaction: "Go down!" ”
On the way back to the imperial dining room, Zi Yan saw Su Wan looking absent-minded.
"Do you also care who the man is just now? The princess called him the Four Princes, but there were no Four Princes in this palace. ”
Su Wan said slowly: "If you don't want to die, take care of your mouth, I didn't hear the warning just now." ”
Zi Yan covered her mouth, looked around, and put down her hand after seeing that there was no one: "I'm just a little curious, I don't want to save my life, I won't mention it in front of others." ”
"It's not okay to be curious, if you want to survive in the palace, you can do your part."
I didn't expect that it would take no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, Chu Mojing was really in the Xialiang Palace, although I didn't know why Chu Mojing was in the Xialiang Palace, what she saw just now was really good, Princess Xialiang seemed to be interesting to him.
Anyway, the person has been found, and the next step is how to get out of here.
Back in the imperial dining room, Su Wan looked absent-minded. How could she go to the place where Chu Mojing lived.
As soon as Xia Yunxi arrived in his palace, he swept the things on the table to the ground.
The red sleeves on the side looked all over the place, every time she came back from the palace where Chu Mojing lived, the princess would lose her temper, and she was used to it.
Xia Yunxi sat down on the chair angrily and muttered, "I'm angry, I'm angry......"
Red Sleeves walked up to Xia Yunxi with a cup of tea: "Your Royal Highness Princess, take a sip of tea and dissipate your anger." ”
Xia Yunxi took the tea handed over by Red Sleeves and took a sip: "What's wrong with this princess, why is he so cold to me?" ”
Red Sleeves soothed: "Her Royal Highness the princess is naturally good in everything, but the four princes of Northern Chu are indifferent by nature. ”
Xia Yunxi's anger disappeared a lot: "How could I not know that he is cold, just ......"
"It's a long time coming, and after a long time, the four princes will see the princess's good."
Xia Yunxi pursed his lips: "It's not a matter if it goes on like this, in case Bei Chu knows what he should do here." ”
The red sleeves leaned into Xia Yunxi's ear and said softly: "If the raw rice is cooked and cooked, Bei Chu will be fine if he knows." ”
Xia Yunxi's eyes rolled in a circle: "Red sleeves, you bring some snacks every day and send them to the palace where the four princes live." ”
Red Sleeves responded: "Don't worry, princess, the slave will take care of this." ”
As night fell, the palace lights were lit, and Su Wan and Zi Yan dragged their tired bodies back to their residences.
Zi Yan was lying on the bed, unable to speak; "I didn't expect to have so much work today, I feel like my arm is about to break."
Su Wan thumped her shoulders; "There is a banquet in the palace tonight, that's why it's so busy."
Zi Yan got into the quilt; "I'm tired, I'll sleep first."
After a while, Zi Yan fell asleep.
Seeing that Zi Yan was already asleep, Su Wan got up and gently blew out the candles in the room, and left the room lightly.
After leaving the room, Su Wan went all the way towards the palace in the daytime.
After these few days, Su Wan had figured out the time of the guards' patrol.
Su Wan avoided the patrolling guards and walked towards the northeast of the Xia Liang Palace according to the memories of the day.
The farther she went east, the less familiar Su Wan became with the road.
Turning the corner, Su Wan suddenly saw a small group of guards in front of her walking in her direction.
Su Wan quickly flashed into the palace next to her and hid in one of the rooms.
Su Wan pricked up her ears and listened to the movement outside the door.
After a long time, seeing that there was no sound outside the door, Su Wan was about to leave, when suddenly there was a sound behind her.
Su Wan trembled with fright.
The room was relatively dim, and by the moonlight shining in from the window, Su Wan was bold and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
Bi Wuxian was eating what he was holding with great pleasure, and a black shadow quietly approached him, and Bi Wuxian didn't know it.
One hand suddenly grabbed the back of his clothes, and before he could react, his mouth was covered by the other.
"Uh-huh......"
His mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."
A cold voice rang in his ears.
Bi Wuxian was a little panicked in his heart, he just came here to find something to eat, he wouldn't be so unlucky, right? Is your life going to be explained here?
Bi Wuxian nodded, indicating that he would not make a sound.
Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Su Wan slowly let go of her hand.
Su Wan didn't expect that there would be people in the room, and when she entered the room, she smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs, and Su Wan thought that this room should be a room for medicinal herbs.
"Who are you and how did you end up here?"
Bi Wuxian stared at a pair of big eyes; "I. I'm just here to eat. ”
Su Wan's eyes lit up, and a trace of murderous intent crossed her eyes.
"Do you think I'm a fool? The warehouse where you eat and run and put medicine, are you here to steal things? ”
Bi Wuxie's face turned blue with fright, stealing things is taboo in the palace, and if you are discovered, you will be killed with a cane.
"I ......"
Before Bi Wuxie's words could be spoken, Su Wan's neck was suddenly choked.
Bi Wuxie, who was choked by the neck, couldn't breathe, and it didn't take a while, because of the lack of oxygen, Bi Wuxie's face was as pale as paper.
Just when Bi Wuxian thought that she was going to die here, Su Wan suddenly let go of her hand, and Bi Wuxie, who could breathe fresh air, took a big gulp of fresh air.
Su Wan looked at him with cold eyes.
She was going to kill him, but she was spotted here, and if he told the guards, she would be dead.
However, after all, it was a life, and Su Wan couldn't bear it.
Bi Wuxian trembled and stretched out his hand, and when Su Wan saw the small piece of yam he was holding in his hand, he was stunned.
Could it be that he, he, is he really here to eat?
She remembers that some of the specially cultivated yams had medicinal properties. Because its healing effect is relatively peaceful, many Chinese medicine practitioners like to use it to condition their patients' bodies.
There are a lot of medicinal herbs in this room, and many of them are foods that are usually eaten.
"You, you ......"
Bi Wuxie's voice was hoarse; "What the hell is going on with you, the palace maid, suddenly grabbed my neck, I thought I would die here."
Su Wan glared at him, not angry; "I didn't expect that someone would hide here and steal medicinal herbs."
Bi Wuxian scratched his head and smiled flatteringly; "I didn't expect to be discovered by the beautiful palace maid sister, so I hid here and secretly ate medicinal herbs. My stomach was so hungry that I thought, there are a lot of medicinal herbs in the storehouse where the herbs are kept, and many of them can be eaten as food. ”
Su Wan saw that he didn't look like he was lying, and the stone in her heart finally landed.
"Sister palace maid, don't tell anyone that you see me here."
Su Wan straightened her back; "I can tell no one, and you have to promise not to tell anybody, that you see me here."
Bi Wuxian nodded; "I promise I won't tell anyone, I'm not stupid."
The two of them are now in the same boat, and if the boat capsizes, both will fall into the water.
The two reached a consensus to avoid being discovered, Su Wan left first, and Bi Wuxian left later.
The further she walked to the northeast, the fewer guards became, and Su Wan came to the palace where she had been during the day.
There were no guards at the gate of the palace, and when I entered the courtyard, I didn't see anyone.
Su Wan looked around vigilantly, repeatedly confirming that there was no one before entering the courtyard.
Su Wan boldly came to a door with a light on and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
It was not someone else who opened the door, it was Chu Mojing.
Chu Mojing saw Su Wan standing outside the door, her expression was very calm, as if she had expected her to come.
"Come in."
Su Wan followed him into the room.
The two sat on the chairs, and Chu Mojing poured Su Wan a cup of tea.
Su Wan really ran to the theme; "I'll be here, presumably the fourth prince should know why."
Chu Mojing took a sip of tea and said slowly; "Although I am in the Xialiang Palace, I am not ignorant of what happened in Northern Chu, I just didn't expect that the person who came to save me would be you."
Su Wan took a deep breath and told Chu Mojing what happened on Chu Mohan's way to Shaoyang after he disappeared.
Chu Mojing twisted his eyebrows, thinking about the person who was unfavorable to Chu Mohan, he could probably guess who it was.
Su Wan went straight to the point and asked the doubts in her heart; "Fourth Prince, why are you in the Xialiang Palace?"
Chu Mojing is known as a victorious general, and he has never lost a single battle in which he sits.
It can't be that he was captured by Xia Liang.
Chu Mojing's tone was calm; "I came to the Xia Liang Palace to find out why Xia Liang launched a war against Northern Chu."
"Fourth Prince, do you know why Xia Liang suddenly started a war?" Su Wan asked a little impatiently, she was very curious why the small country of Xia Liang took the initiative to start a war.
No matter what aspect it is, Su Wan feels that Xia Liang will lose this war.
Chu Mojing's eyes sank; "The war is just a pretense to bring me to Xia Liang."
Chu Mojing didn't expect that this turned out to be a trap, all to make him jump into this trap.
Chu Mojing can't say that he likes war, but he can't say he hates it, the sword in his hand is to protect, and he wants to protect the people and things he wants to protect.
Therefore, when the envoy sent by Xia Liang wanted to see him, he did not hesitate to meet the envoy of Xia Liang, and the envoy of Xia Liang told him that as long as he came to the palace of Xia Liang, all the answers would be known.
