Chapter 266 Custody

After drinking, Chen Xiaoxiao was sober for a moment, she turned around and walked back, pushed open the door and walked out.

The little eunuch thought that Chen Xiaoxiao was going to run away and spit out the wine in his mouth, but when he chased him to the door, Chen Xiaoxiao stopped instead.

Chen Xiaoxiao noticed that the little eunuch was following her, she smiled helplessly, thinking that she would be relieved, but it turned out otherwise.

She pulled a smile that was more ugly than crying, she didn't want to escape, she just didn't want to bury the things in the space, and buried the imperial study.

Fortunately, in her life, even when she died, she was very close to the prince.

The Emperor followed suit, and his footsteps were also paused, and then he returned to the imperial study.

He took out a wooden box from the dark compartment of the study, and he sat back on the dragon chair with the wooden box, his face withdrawn from seriousness.

He originally thought that a peasant girl, like Chen Xiaoxiao, would definitely choose the second one as long as he gave a choice, and she would have both wealth and security, which would be enough for her to be free for a long time in the second half of her life.

In his eyes, Chen Xiaoxiao is a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, but he didn't expect to subvert his ideas today.

But how did he know that if Chen Xiaoxiao really loved money, she would have already taken the box of silver tickets given by Murong Sheng and a space of food to leave.

The emperor looked at the box and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

The little eunuch was at a loss, and he came back and asked weakly, "Your Majesty, what now?" ”

The emperor glanced over, and the little eunuch understood, and he hurriedly ran out.

Chen Xiaoxiao stood there and waited for a while, but she didn't see the poison attack, and she was dumbfounded.

The little eunuch walked over and said softly, "Concubine Chen, are you wondering why the poison didn't attack?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao was very surprised, could this be a chronic poison? Does it take a day for an attack?

She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and followed the words of the little eunuch and asked, "Why?" ”

The little eunuch smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "You will know why when you return to the imperial study." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao followed the little eunuch back in a daze, and the emperor saw Chen Xiaoxiao come in and said, "There is no poison in the wine, you don't have to worry." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao stood stunned, unable to digest the news for a while, "You are ......" The word "playing me" has no exit after all.

She didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a while, she couldn't be happy when she was happy, but she didn't dare to be angry, and she couldn't stop her heart in one breath.

The person she is facing is not only her husband's father, but also the most noble man in the entire dynasty.

He can lightly give anyone a glass of wine to take someone's life, or he can give others great glory, all of this is just in his thoughts.

The emperor glanced at the box, and the little eunuch stepped forward to pick up the box and held it in front of Chen Xiaoxiao.

"I'll keep this thing for you, and I'll rest assured." The Emperor said.

A person who can die for the fifth child, the emperor thought to himself, what is there to worry about?

Chen Xiaoxiao stared at the wooden box, the little eunuch handed it to Chen Xiaoxiao, she held it in her arms, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?" ”

The emperor knew that Chen Xiaoxiao would ask, but now he wouldn't say it, he said: "This thing can't be told to you for the time being, after you go back, don't open it, let alone mention it to Lao Wu and anyone, and you must not take it out until the critical moment." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know what was in this, she was very puzzled, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, and it is not safe to put me here." ”

It is absolutely safe to let her go, but after the incident just now, Chen Xiaoxiao always felt hairy in her heart.

Emperor: "After what happened just now, I already know that you are a reliable person, and it is a matter of the fifth child, and you promised me that even if you die, you will protect this thing." I will send a secret guard to follow you and protect you at all times. ”

Speaking of Murong Sheng, the corners of Chen Xiaoxiao's mouth moved, and she agreed, "The concubine knows, she must take good care of it." ”

The emperor was relieved when he saw Chen Xiaoxiao make a guarantee, he closed his eyes and said, "Remember not to let anyone touch it, two days later, I will arrange for someone to arrange for you to go out of the city behind Lao Wu's grain team." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know that Murong Sheng was going to disaster relief, so she asked anxiously, "Out of the city?" Your Majesty, why do you want to go out of the city? ”

The emperor was surprised, "You don't know? ”

The little eunuch hurriedly explained Chen Xiaoxiao's confusion, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief, and he will leave the capital in two days, Concubine Chen, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell you?" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No, the concubine hasn't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past few days, yesterday I heard that the little princess was sick, he went to accompany the little princess for a night, and when the concubine went today, he had already gone to the court and didn't meet." ”

In the afternoon, I was thinking about whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come back in the evening, but I didn't expect to be called here in a hurry and drank a fake glass of poisoned wine.

"The little county lord is sick, when did this happen?" Murong Sheng had a daughter, and when he heard that he was sick, the emperor suddenly became worried.

He remembered that when the little granddaughter was born, he hugged him once, and recently on the queen mother's birthday, he also took a quick look, and it looked quite healthy at that time, how could he be sick.

Chen Xiaoxiao lowered her eyebrows and replied truthfully, "I have a fever, I heard that yesterday's things are much better today, I don't know how it is now." ”

She wanted to go in to see the little county lord, but Concubine Liu didn't let her in, she really didn't know what the specific situation was.

"Shun Xi (the name of the little eunuch)."

"The minions are here." Shun Xi bowed.

"You go to the treasury to get some ginseng, and other medicines, and send these things to the little county lord, as well as the jade Ruyi in the treasury, and send Concubine Chen back by the way."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shunxi came to Chen Xiaoxiao's front and said respectfully: "Please wait here for Concubine Chen, and the slave will come when she goes." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Father-in-law, please feel free." ”

After Shun Xi went down, the emperor said to Chen Xiaoxiao: "Give me a seat." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't dare to speak more, she thanked her: "The concubine thanked the emperor." ”

She sat down in her chair, a little far from the emperor's table, but she did not dare to let her guard down.

The wooden box was placed in her big sleeves, but fortunately, the sleeves of the clothes she wore today were wide enough to cover the wooden box in her sleeves.

In front of the emperor, Chen Xiaoxiao didn't dare to put away the wooden box for the time being, and when she drank the poisonous wine, Chen Xiaoxiao thought that she was dead, and she was afraid of what would be exposed, and now that she was alive, she didn't want to be discovered at all.

The emperor then read a notebook, and he said casually: "In the past two days, if you are free, go to Yifen Palace to greet your mother and concubine, and accompany her more." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao replied obediently: "Yes." ”

She didn't dare to talk much, it felt like a long time in such a short time, like ten years.

She secretly looked at the emperor, and quickly staggered her eyes, and secretly looked at the door, thinking in her heart, why didn't Shunxi's little father-in-law come back.
