Chapter 22: The Divisive Scheme
Although Chu Xiaoxiang felt that Helian Chen cared about him very much, since then, Chu Xiaoxiang has become more independent and strong.
Not just because of herself, but because Chu Xiaoxiang felt that if she wanted revenge, she had to regain her strength, find the self she had lost again, and then use her own way to treat others.
The second lady of the Tai'an Palace, married into the palace as promised, and became the most favored concubine around the emperor.
It's just that although he is deeply favored by the emperor, Chu Zhiyun feels that he must make everyone surrender and worship him, so that he can be the imperial concubine.
On this day, when Chu Xiaoxiang opened her eyes again, although her eyes were dry and a little painful, she could see the outside world accurately and clearly.
And her hands and feet also began to gain strength, and even this trace of strength was more obvious and flexible than before.
It's as if everything is new, and there's a feeling of coming back from the dead.
The corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's lips were slightly hooked, and he was standing up along the bed, when he suddenly heard movement from the courtyard.
"Report to the princess's wife, the concubine invites you to go to the Qining Palace to enjoy the lotus flowers together in the near future, if you have time."
As soon as the person who reported the news finished speaking, the corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's lips unconsciously hooked a trace of arc, she had just recovered, and during this time, Chu Zhiyun must have learned that she was injured and was slowly recovering.
Presumably, Chu Zhiyun would never have thought that her body would recover so quickly, and he said that he would invite her to enjoy the lotus flowers together, but in fact, he just wanted to take a look at her physical recovery and listen to the truth.
"Please help me reply, just say that the county lord already knows." Chu Xiaoxiang replied lightly, and at this time, the person who reported the message nodded and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "Okay, I'll go and reply." It's just that Princess, when do you plan to enter the palace? ”
"After a while," Chu Xiaoxiang pursed his thin lips and replied after thinking for a while.
Even if he agreed to go, he couldn't be when the other party was most worried, Chu Xiaoxiang felt that he could come by surprise.
As he was talking, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly opened his mouth and ordered someone to find a wheelchair for himself, thinking that since he was unwell, it was not wrong to enter the palace and sit in a wheelchair.
Sure enough, Chu Xiaoxiang gave an order, and someone in the palace soon notified the regent Helianchen, who was in charge of supervising the country. Helian Chen was originally dealing with official business, but now he listened to the response of the person sent to him, and immediately put down the official document he was dealing with, rubbed his temples and responded.
"What? The county lord wants to use a wheelchair, okay, then give her the best wheelchair in the palace," Helian Chen said as he thought in his heart, after a long while, Chu Xiaoxiang had finally adjusted his mood and was willing to walk out of the room.
It's just that Helian Chen didn't expect that Chu Xiaoxiang left the room, left the courtyard, and the first place he went to was to go to Qining Palace, which was far away in the palace, without even saying hello.
Although when Helian Chen heard the news reported by his subordinates, he was stunned for a long time before he believed that what he heard was not a rumor, but a fact.
At this time, he still had some political affairs to deal with, so he could only send someone to protect Chu Xiaoxiang secretly from afar for a while, "If the princess has something, she must remember to come back in time to tell her." ”
"Woohoo......!"
As soon as Helian Chen's subordinates finished speaking, they chose to turn around and leave.
At this time, in the palace, Chu Zhiyun, who was originally sitting next to the Great Water Law of Qining Palace, suddenly saw Chu Xiaoxiang alone, coming in a wheelchair, without any maids and guards accompanying him.
Chu Zhiyun couldn't help but feel a faint surprise under his slender eyelashes: "Princess Regent, I haven't seen you for many days." You okay? It's just that why are you still in a wheelchair? ”
Chu Zhiyun pretended to be surprised, but in fact, since that night, when he saw Helian Chen with an anxious face in the Tai'an Palace, he expected that something must have happened to Chu Xiaoxiang.
So I secretly sent someone to inquire about the news, and only then did I learn that Chu Xiaoxiang was caused by a serious dispute with Mrs. Yang and Chu Zhixue because he broke into the Tai'an Palace's mansion at night.
At this time, hearing Chu Zhiyun's question, Chu Xiaoxiang was also more calm and calm: "It's okay, I've been a little injured recently, it's just that." ”
"Really? But sister, can you tell my sister how you managed to walk so far in a wheelchair after someone picked on your tendons? With your hands alone, and without the help of outsiders, you can actually rush to the palace? ”
Chu Zhiyun blinked lightly, and asked with some disbelief in the facts, but at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and said to Chu Zhiyun: "I didn't expect that you know so much." What else do you know? ”
Chu Xiaoxiang hooked the corners of his lips and asked with a smile, at this time, Chu Zhiyun's eyes widened, and he said to Chu Xiaoxiang with inexplicable curiosity: "It's nothing?" If I knew everything, why bother asking my sister. ”
"Hmm...... Okay then," Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly raised his hand, scratched his head, and said to Chu Zhiyun, "Actually, I admit it, Niangniang, you have a reasonable question, but what I want to tell you is that the Yang family didn't really pick on my tendons that day, if you don't believe it." I can still move around. ”
As Chu Xiaoxiang was speaking, he stood up from the wheelchair beside him, and because of Chu Xiaoxiang's sudden up, almost everyone present was surprised.
Chu Zhiyun shook his head again and again on the side, and said with some refusal to believe the reality: "This is impossible, that night, I obviously heard someone whispering in the courtyard of the Tai'an Palace, talking about you." But now you can still walk? ”
Chu Zhiyun was talking, even more unbelievable, raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked Chu Xiaoxiang as if he was finding some fault: "Since you can go, why did you come in a wheelchair just now?" ”
The corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's lips were hooked with a hint of inexplicability, and then he pretended to be a little sincere and bowed in front of Chu Zhiyun.
She knew that Chu Zhiyun was a little arrogant, and if she pretended to surrender, she would definitely be able to add points to Chu Zhiyun's favor.
"You don't know, I'm doing this completely to hide people's eyes."
"Oh?" Chu Zhiyun listened to what Chu Xiaoxiang said, his eyes widened incredibly, and he looked at her, but Chu Xiaoxiang's response was a little faint, "On that day, the reason why I was picked off and broke my tendons was actually just because I was entangled by Yang's mother and daughter before this, and I wanted to co-act in a play." ”
"Acting? What play? Chu Zhiyun was still confused.
At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang said, "Originally, on that day, the mother entered the palace to participate in the concubine election, I originally followed common sense, the second day of marriage, the bride returned to the door, but just when I walked to the gate of the Tai'an Mansion with Helian Chen, I accidentally bumped into a person." ”
"Who? Could it be Mrs. Yang, or ......" Chu Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, although he was a little skeptical about what Chu Xiaoxiang said, but he felt that Chu Xiaoxiang's current identity was the regent princess, and it stands to reason that there was nothing she could think of but could not get.
In other words, Chu Zhiyun believes that Chu Xiaoxiang has no need to lie to her.
So following Chu Xiaoxiang's steps, Chu Zhiyun began to participate and guessed, Chu Xiaoxiang heard Chu Zhiyun's question, although there was a feeling in his heart that the fish was about to be hooked, but his face still pretended to be casual.
"It's Chu Zhixue. I heard her complaining in front of the palace, saying that you just went into the palace to choose a concubine? Why did you work so hard and make it look like something was going on? ”
"At that time, I happened to pass by, and I didn't plan to join Chu Zhixue's complaints. But who would have expected that Chu Zhixue suddenly grabbed the corner of my clothes and said that she wanted me to help her act in a play, I originally disagreed, but finally agreed to her bitter plan. ”
"Bitter Meat Trick?" When Chu Zhiyun listened to these three words, her body trembled inexplicably, it turned out to be a bitter trick, and she almost believed it.
"So what's the matter with Mrs. Yang? You say so. Their goal is to target me, pretending to break your hands and feet, or even gouging out your eyeballs. These are all just deliberate arrangements. Someone rumoured from it? Are these made for me to see? ”
The more Chu Zhiyun spoke, the more he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xiaoxiang incredulously, no wonder she was able to recover so quickly, presumably everything was fake?
But that's right, even though this Chu Xiaoxiang grew up in a nunnery since he was a child, he is just a mortal after all.
It's not the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dragon Protector, if Chu Xiaoxiang really suffered from those, how could he talk to her with a relaxed face like now.
It's all fake!
When Chu Zhiyun finally figured it all out, he said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "Don't worry, this matter won't just be settled." People who dare to lie to me usually don't end well! ”
Chu Xiaoxiang's reaction was indifferent, and he even had some duplicity towards Chu Zhiyun: "After all, they are all a family that has ever gotten along, so don't make such a fuss!" ”
However, Chu Xiaoxiang's words were quickly rejected by Chu Zhiyun with a wave of his hand: "No, you don't understand!" What a family, bullshit. If it weren't for Mrs. Yang, where would my mother and I be like now? I have paid so much for this palace draft, but after all, I am just a concubine. ”
"Isn't it just that I dislike that I'm a concubine? Sister, don't worry, I have this hatred! ”
Although Chu Xiaoxiang was so quick about Chu Zhiyun, he was affected by his own radical method, and he could just take advantage of the fisherman.
But in the blink of an eye, I felt that Chu Zhiyun should be too brainless?
I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fact that his father was the king of Tai'an, Chu Zhiyun would be in this deep and secluded harem full of open and secret battles, but I am afraid that the situation would be even more difficult.
However, the corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's lips pulled out a slight arc: "Actually, I didn't have to go through such a lot of trouble, but Guifei, now is not the time to startle the snake." ”
"Uh-huh, don't worry. I understand," Chu Zhiyun nodded.
Chu Xiaoxiang smiled slightly, and was about to leave, but at this time, outside the door of Qining Palace, the wheelchair he was inadvertently riding in hung up a long dragon robe passing by.
