Chapter 440: Asking for Marriage

In my memory, the year when she suffered from stupor, she couldn't move or speak, she could only lie stiffly, and she could only eat and drink when she was given food and drink, especially when she was conscious, this torment of being trapped in a cage, and sometimes she had to listen to people's cold words and hatred, and the people who could torture her had a mental breakdown.

She didn't know if Xiao Xu was also like her, with a clear consciousness.

But at this time, Xiao Xu was unconscious, but no one even covered him with a quilt, and there was no charcoal fire in the house, but the servants themselves wore thick clothes, and gathered together to talk and laugh.

Chu Junlan crunched his silver teeth, walked out of the darkness unbearably, and said coldly: "You guys are happy to eat." ”

Chu Junlan has been in a coma for the past two days, and the fever has only subsided at this time, and her voice is hoarse as if it can scratch people's eardrums, and her words are hateful, every word seems to be squeezed out of between her teeth, like the roar of a ghost who crawls out of hell to collect debts.

The two servant women were frightened and screamed "oops", and the cups, saucers, and chopsticks "sloppy" overturned.

"What people!"

"Come on!"

Chu Junlan, who was dressed red, walked out of the shadows, covered Xiao Xu with the quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed to check his pulse.

The two servants were frightened, and the guards in the courtyard had already broken in.

"What people!"

"Bold fanatics, dare to break into the palace!"

When they saw the person sitting by the bed, the servants and guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yo, isn't this the future princess."

The servants were all serving in Princess Zhang's courtyard, and they had seen Chu Junlan several times, but now they saw that it was her, and pouted mockingly

"Why, Miss Chu is in such a hurry to come to the palace? On Chinese New Year's Eve, if you don't celebrate the New Year at home, how can you climb over the wall to the man's room? Our prince can't move now, what do you want to do to the prince? ”

It was so disgusting and filthy that the guards who broke in burst out laughing.

With a heavy face, he put Xiao Xu's thin hand back into the quilt, Chu Junlan stood up and walked slowly to the door.

The original appearance of the splendor was still undamaged in the illness, but it became a little more feminine, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she coldly scraped a few people, and the laughing guards and the two servants couldn't help but stop their voices.

"Who arranged for you to serve the Son?"

"Why should we sue you?" The younger servant woman pouted.

Chu Junlan's eyes were split, and he raised his hand to be a big mouth.

With a "snap", the servant woman was pumped and spun around in place, and "Mom" fell to the ground with a miserable cry.

The guards drew their blades one after another, glaring at Chu Junlan with fierce eyes.

Chu Junlan sneered: "What, can't I have a subordinate life on my hands?" You can go and ask the prince now if he has permission or not! ”

The palace guards' faces were very ugly, but they were all weighing Chu Junlan's words in their hearts.

"I ask you again, who commanded you to neglect the world so much?"

The servants and the guards were silent.

Chu Junlan gritted his teeth, changed his question, and pointed to the two servants: "Who sent you?" ”

"It's the princess."

"Which princess?"

The two servants glanced at each other, and did not answer for a while, but they were afraid that if they said Princess Zhang, Chu Junlan would go directly to the past, and there would be a disturbance at that time, and they would not need to do it for a year.

"What about you?" Chu Junlan asked the guards again.

The guard said confidently: "It was the prince who ordered us to protect the prince." ”

"Oh, protect, protect the prince is to make it impossible for everyone to approach and take care of the son, so that these two dog minions can learn from the son?"

The guards were speechless again.

Chu Junlan said: "The prince doesn't want outsiders to know that someone in the palace abuses the prince, what you do today is just to bring about your own destruction." ”

"Abuse? Where is the abuse? ”

"That is, we are just subordinates, where do we have the courage to abuse the world."

As soon as they heard "self-destruction", the two servants were a little panicked, and said in a low voice: "We are also following the orders of the princess to run errands.

Chu Junlan sneered: "I know it's difficult for you to do, but the son of the world is also the son of the world anyway, I hope you weigh it clearly, how many catties and taels do you have, and how many heads are enough for the emperor to cut off." ”

Thinking of the rumor, the two servants were a little apprehensive, if the prince was really the emperor's son, would the emperor not care at all?

However, the palace guards were more daring: "Don't talk about this, how did Miss Chu enter the mansion?" ”

"You don't know how I got in, so dereliction of duty, embarrassed to ask me? I'm not afraid, I just don't know how the prince will feel when he sees you so useless. ”

The faces of several of the guards changed.

They are just ordinary guards, and they really can't figure out the pulse of the prince, and they don't know if this matter is opened, whether the prince will throw the pot at them, and it would be better if the big thing turned into a small thing.

"Miss Chu, sit down for a while. I'll wait to step down. ”

The guards retreated.

The two servants also bowed, and they were about to take the opportunity to leave.

Chu Junlan glared: "They can go, will I let you go?" ”

The two of them were so frightened that they almost knelt down on the spot.

Chu Junlan said: "Go and heat up the warm kang, if not, prepare the charcoal pot, I have seen little, but I have never seen the warm and warm eating and drinking worn by the next person, so that the master can stay in the cold room without even a quilt in his Chinese New Year's Eve." If I tell the emperor this, do you still have your life after weighing it yourself? ”

"But, but......" One of the older servants hesitated, and as soon as she spoke, the other woman pulled her sleeve and simply shut her mouth.

When Chu Junlan saw this, what else didn't he understand?

"You are here by order, and I will not embarrass you, you will do what I say for the time being, and I will go and tell the princess the rest."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and they should all be. Then he explained: "Miss Chu, don't blame us, we are also on orders." The prince is like this now, and the prince said that he didn't expect him to wake up, so he let the prince wait for death in this garden. We're just subordinates, so it's hard to refute, are we? ”

Chu Junlan's brows tightened, and he forcibly held back his anger and said, "Well, I know what the prince thinks, what about the people who originally followed the prince?" ”

The two of them were speechless again.

Chu Junlan lowered his face coldly: "Where is the son of the world?" ”

"Girl, don't tell anyone that we told you, the entourage of the prince insisted on staying by the prince's side to serve, and he also collided with the prince, and was taken down and locked up by the prince."

"Where are you locked up?"

"This, we don't know either!" The two of them were frightened by Chu Junlan's stern reprimand, and their faces turned pale.

Chu Junlan took a deep breath and dropped a sentence: "You first do what I tell you." Then he turned and went out of the room.

Standing under the porch, I saw that several guards in the courtyard were already standing as straight as javelins, and when I glanced at it, I found that there was one missing in the middle.

Chu Junlan smiled: "You have already sent someone to inform the prince?" ”

Several of the guards looked tense.

"It's fine. There's nothing wrong with telling the prince, so I don't have to make an extra trip. Later, if the prince asks, he will say that I have already left. ”

Chu Junlan really wanted to find Prince Gong directly, but now that her physical strength has not recovered, Prince Gong is wearing a cuckold and losing face, if she is angry and wants to attack her, she has no certainty of victory.

What's more, whether it is to question Prince Gong or go to Princess Zhang to settle accounts, there is no benefit in the current situation, she is now the first thing to let Xiao Xu recover her health, as for the rest, you can think about it in the long run.

She just looked at Xiao Xu's pulse, although it was not life-threatening, but she didn't know how long she would be in a coma, it could be three or five days, or three or five years, she couldn't leave Xiao Xu alone, and she couldn't let Xiao Xu be as isolated as she was when she had stupor.

No one in this house cared about his life or death, and even hoped that he would die. Prince Gong and Princess Zhang's casual words were enough to make the following people ignore Xiao Xu, and today's situation is only afraid that it will continue in the future.

Chu Junlan thought about this, and simply jumped over the wall with neat skills.

Several guards were shocked when they saw Chu Junlan's neat figure.

"The prince has already told it, if the prince asks where Chu Junlan is, what will we say?"

"Let's just say that the demon girl was forced to die, and we didn't dare to hurt her so we let her run."

"That's all it can be."

When several guards were disappointed, Chu Junlan was standing outside the back wall of the palace, holding on to the wall and panting.

She is very weak now, but her senses are more acute than usual.

"Why, you've followed me all the way, won't you come out yet?"

Chu Junlan's voice echoed in the empty alley, and there was a lively sound of firecrackers and fireworks in the distance, and his footsteps fell on the snow, making a slight creaking sound, and when he turned around, he saw a tall man in black hidden in the shadows, and arched his hand to her: "Miss Chu, don't be afraid, the emperor ordered to protect Miss from humble duty." ”

Chu Junlan nodded, didn't ask in detail, didn't investigate, only said: "I want to enter the palace to face the saint, is there a way?" ”

"Waiting for tomorrow......"

"I can't wait for tomorrow, I want to face the saint immediately."

The man in black groaned slightly, and said with his chin bowed: "Please come with the humble position." ”

Chu Junlan nodded, kept up with the pace of the man in black, and because of his characteristic waist card, he was not hindered, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall smoothly.

Emperor Jinghong is not there, I don't know which concubine he is happy with, or he is having fun with the concubine.

But it didn't take long for Emperor Jinghong to hurry back, and said with an eager face: "You went to the palace?" How's Xu'er? ”

Chu Junlan pursed his lips and knelt down, his forehead pressed against the ground: "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to give you a marriage." ”

"Marriage?" Emperor Jinghong didn't understand for a while, "Didn't you really give you and Xu'er?" His face was cold, and he said in a gentle tone, "However, now that Xu'er is not in good health, it is indeed not suitable......"

"Your Majesty, the courtiers want to ask the emperor to choose the nearest day so that the courtiers and Xiao Xu can get married. The courtiers hope to go to the palace to take care of them nearby, and they can also find a way to heal the prince. If you leave it alone like this, the son of the world may not wake up in three or five years. ”

Emperor Jinghong looked at Chu Junlan in astonishment, complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "You...... You have to think about it, what if Xu'er can't wake up for the rest of her life?"

"Then the courtier will treat him for the rest of his life." Chu Junlan said firmly.
