Chapter XXXII
Those maids sent Chu Wu to the gate of the courtyard, just like throwing the plague god, let go in disgust, and let Chu Wu lean softly on Cai Wei's shoulder.
Snorted coldly, glanced at the two of them disdainfully, and then turned around and left without looking back.
Cai Wei watched the maids walk away before whispering, "Princess, get up quickly!" They're gone. ”
Hearing this, Chu Wu slowly opened her eyes, slowly straightened up, and glanced back.
Tearing off Cai Wei's robe on his body, he walked straight to the courtyard.
When she sent Chu Wu back, Cai Wei saw that the clothes were wet and sticking to her princess, showing Chu Yu's delicate body, so she took off her clothes to cover Chu Wu.
Chu Wu said coldly as she walked inside: "This Concubine Gu is really not giving up, this time it is estimated that she has been sick for a few days, and she has no time to worry about this matter for the time being." However, it is hard to guarantee that Xiao Jingmo will not! ”
Cai Wei closed the door, trotted to keep up, and heard what her princess said, her face changed in fright, and she said urgently: "Just now, the slave maid looked at the embarrassed appearance of the side concubine, as if she was not scared!" Seeing that the prince was in a hurry to take her away, he seemed to be very hearted..."
Cai Wei suddenly came back to her senses as she spoke, and hurriedly closed her mouth, and glanced at Chu Wu worriedly.
Looking at Chu Wei's calm face, Cai Wei's heart relaxed slightly, she was still worried that the princess would be unhappy because of this matter!
When Chu Wu heard this, her face was still indifferent, how could she be unhappy because of Xiao Jingmo!
Moreover, of course Chu Wan knew why Concubine Gu was so embarrassed and scared so badly. Naturally, it was because he really wanted to kill her in the lake.
The two said as they walked into the house.
Then Cai Wei asked in a low voice, "Princess, if.... The prince insists on pursuing this matter, what should we do? ”
Cai Wei's face suddenly changed as she spoke, and she suddenly looked up at Chu Wu, and asked anxiously, "By the way, princess, how did you fall into that lake?" How do you feel? ”
Chu Wu and Cai Wei walked into the room, Chu Wei looked at Cai Wei and said softly, "I'm okay, I'll talk to you about this matter later." I'll go get my clothes first, and I'll change out of this wet one, so that I don't have to get cold again. ”
When Cai Wei heard this, she came back to her senses, her face was a little guilty, and she said with self-reproach: "The slave is really damned, I forgot that the princess is still wet, so the slave and maid will go and get it." ”
Cai Wei said and raised her hand and tapped her forehead hard, and hurriedly turned around and ran to get dry clothes.
This spring and summer, and it is not yet summer, although it is already noon, but the weather is inevitably a little cold.
Chu Wu didn't dare to be sloppy, if she was sick again, she would have no medicine and no money to see a doctor.
And in this world, a little wind and cold can kill people, so Chu Wu didn't dare to be sloppy.
After Chu Wu changed out of her wet clothes, she asked Cai Wei to boil some hot water to drink to get rid of the cold, and by the way, she would take a bath.
Chu Wu sat quietly on the stool and twisted her hair, tilting her head and thinking about what had just happened.
Concubine Gu intended to invite herself to have tea with her, but in fact, she had the idea of harming her again.
But King Xiao passed by over there, and Concubine Gu deliberately pushed and shoved with herself when he passed by, crying so much that people mistakenly thought that she was trying to murder her.
It turned out that all this was calculated by her, and she clearly knew that King Xiao would pass by, and then deliberately fell into the water.
And she subconsciously pulled her but was taken into the water by her, first, she wanted to drown herself in the lake, there were so many maids over there, deliberately dragged in a hurry and did not come to rescue, she arranged it!
Chu Wu's eyes flashed slightly, and she hooked her lips and sneered.
In this way, she can fake a phenomenon of drowning herself. At that time, she can say that she pushed her into the water, and she can also excuse herself by saying that she fainted and did not know that she was drowned.
Anyway, the blame for this is pushed on her, you can say whatever you want, there is no proof of death, and then, pretending to be sick for a few more days, this matter will pass.
After all, who cares so much, a dead man who has no power and is not favored by the prince. Coupled with the fact that her mother's family is powerful, ordinary people will not care about it anymore.
Second, even if she didn't fall into the water with her, and was seen by King Xiao who passed by, those maids testified that they pushed her into the water by themselves, and they couldn't argue, and the pushing, from behind, did look like they were going to push her into the water.
In this way, she is justified no matter what she says, and she can also borrow King Xiao's hand to deal with herself, but I don't know what kind of mood King Xiao feels when he is being used.
I guess King Xiao won't be angry, right? There are women who are jealous because of his competition, and they will be a little vain if they think of a man, right?
Regardless of whether he will stand up for Concubine Gu or not, in short, because of some things, it is impossible for him to ask for his life because of Concubine Gu, not to mention that Concubine Gu has no worries about her life.
was so frightened by herself, and choked on the lake for a while, it is estimated that she has been sick for several days.
Even if she wasn't sick, Chu Yu thought that she would make herself sick for a few days, after all, this was a good opportunity to increase King Xiao to come to see her!
Chu Wu wiped her hair and sneered.
"Princess, the water is boiling. The slave maid mixed some cold water down, just enough to enter the mouth without burning your mouth, you can drink some warm up! Cai Wei cautiously came to Chu Wu with a bowl of hot water.
Chu Wei smiled gratefully at Cai Wei, and reached out to take the bowl in Cai Wei's hand, it was a little hot, but it was just acceptable and not too warm, just right to warm up.
Because there is no ginger, I can only drink some hot water to go to the cold of the lake.
Chu Wu drank it in a few sips, and a warm warmth gradually rose in her lower abdomen and spread to her limbs, making her feel a lot more comfortable in an instant.
Cai Wei couldn't help but ask Chu Wei again how she fell into the water just now, Chu Wei asked her to sit down, and then told Cai Wei in detail, and then picked out the important things she guessed and told her again.
The more Cai Wei listened, her face became more and more pale, she didn't expect Concubine Gu to be so vicious, and she couldn't help but look at Chu Wu with some worry.
Chu Wu had to comfort her and said, it is impossible for King Xiao to kill them because of this matter, at most he will punish them, besides, the current environment is not much better, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?
Cai Wei listened to Chu Wan's analysis, and slowly put her mind at ease.
After Chu Wu and Cai Wei finished lunch, Chu Wu's hair was completely dry, and she went to take a bath again, and she was a little tired after tossing for so long in the morning. After saying a word to Cai Wei, I went to take a nap.
Xiao Jingmo took Concubine Gu out of this garden, and then listened to the report from the next person, saying that Ji Dashao was here, and now the study is waiting.
Xiao Jingmo's phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and after pondering for a while, he sent Concubine Gu back to the courtyard, and then went back to the study, and Xiao Yi hurriedly followed.
As soon as Xiao Jingmo arrived at the study, he saw Ji Zishu in a blue robe sitting on the Taishi chair, drinking tea elegantly.
Ji Zishu heard the sound, turned his head to look at Xiao Jingmo, and was a little surprised to see the water stains on Xiao Jingmo's clothes, and raised his good-looking eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart, who can still splash water on him?
Ji Zishu chuckled and said, "You clothes, what's the matter?" ”
When Xiao Jingmo heard this, he glanced at Ji Zishu, ignored his ridicule, walked to the inner room, and replied casually: "It's just a trivial matter, don't pay attention to it." ”
Ji Zishu didn't ask much when he heard Xiao Jingmo say this, and continued to sit on the chair and wait for Xiao Jingmo to change his clothes.
Soon, Xiao Jingmo changed into a blue smoke-colored brocade robe and walked out, and sat lazily on the rosewood chair as soon as he lifted the robe.
Ji Zishu straightened his face and said: "Because of this battle with the Chu State and the Qin State, I also have some military merits. The emperor's edict for reward has also come down, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to take office. ”
Xiao Jingmo held the tea, and his big knuckled hand gently moved the teacup, faintly: "Hmm!" "Yes.
He also received news about this matter, the imperial brother resisted the pressure of some ministers in the court, and named him as the leader of the central army under the pretext of Zishu's military exploits, and most of these opposing ministers were Lu Zhengyin's people.
Ji Zishu continued to say in a deep voice: "This edict, Lu Zhengyin is half angry!" However, his sister-in-law Lu Wenlang didn't react, he didn't seem to care at all, and came to congratulate me. ”
Xiao Jingmo hooked his lips and sneered, "This Lu Zhengyin is just a puppet, so it's not a matter of worry." If he hadn't saved the emperor, how could he have such grace, and how could he hold one-third of Xiao Guo's military power? So much so that the imperial brother could not take back those military powers in time. ”
What is strange is that Xiao Jingmo is talking about the first emperor and not his father.
Therefore, neither King Xiao nor the current emperor dared to act rashly, although King Xiao also had one-third of the military power of Xiao State, but he did not dare to take risks.
The other one-third of the military power was scattered in the hands of various generals, most of whom were stationed at the border gates.
The ancestors had a rule, that is, these military generals who guarded the border passes, he was only responsible for guarding the border passes, and he had to be at the border for the rest of his life. Therefore, their families are in Beijing to take hostages.
Unless they meet a big tributary or an old man, they can only return to Beijing, otherwise, they are not allowed to return to Beijing at will without the emperor's holy decree, and they only recognize the military talisman that can mobilize military power.
Even if the emperor comes to transfer troops in person, they have the right to ignore them without military talismans. Therefore, these people must be extremely loyal to the country.
Therefore, these generals did not pay much attention to the battles in the court, they only needed to do their jobs.
Therefore, Xiao Jingmo is not worried about this, if these generals stand in Lu Zhengyin's team.
Once discovered, it's a dead end! Not only that, but also the Nine Clans! The female dependents were sold as prostitutes, and all the men were beheaded for public display!
Xiao Jingmo's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly: "It's that Lu Wenlang, you have to be careful, this person is extremely deep!" ”
When Ji Zishu heard this, he remembered what his father had said before, and glanced at Xiao Jingmo with some concern.
I sighed in my heart: Huh! If it weren't for the first emperor, why would they be so scheming now? How could the emperor be aggrieved for so many years? How could Ah Mo leave the former queen since he was a child and suffer elsewhere?
Ji Zishu put down the worry in his eyes and said softly: "I will be careful in this matter, but you should also be more careful!" Now, it's on your side again. ”
When Xiao Jingmo heard this, he hummed lightly. The two talked for a while, and Ji Zishu said goodbye and left.
Ji Zishu just left for a while, and when he came back to recover his life, Concubine Gu was fine, but she was a little frightened, prescribed some medicine, and fed it when she woke up.
Xiao Jingmo leaned lazily on the rosewood chair and let out a faint "um".
The thin red lips hung a loose smile, the straight nose bridge was like a precise measurement, and the extremely beautiful and bewitching phoenix eyes stared at the paper on the table, and the deep eyes flashed a faint light that was not easy to detect.
The slender index finger unconsciously turned the white jade wrench on his thumb, the clothes just now were wet, and he changed into a set of blue smoke-colored robes embroidered with dark lines, and his extremely handsome face made him look like an immortal.
Xiao Jingmo thought about what had just happened, he naturally knew very well what Concubine Gu was thinking, and he also knew that Chu Wu was deliberately framed.
Xiao Jingmo looked at the paper on the table, but why did he have to defend her?
Xiao Jingmo's phoenix eyes flashed slightly, looked at the paper on the table and smiled gently, his extremely beautiful face was as scorching as the scorching sun.
Suddenly, the cold room became brighter.
