Chapter 40: Be prepared
Gao Zhong hesitated and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, such things are not uncommon in the harem, when the emperor was there, did the emperor forget the matter of Guo Meiren and Xu Zhaoyi?" ”
"Naturally, I haven't forgotten, but today's words from Chu Cai make me feel different."
Judging from Chu Yue's tone of speech at the time, she seemed to have prepared these words a long time ago,
Feng Jixuan looked at the two and waved his hand, "That's it, let's not talk about this matter for now, Gao Zhong, you go to investigate who transferred Chu Yongshou back to Kyoto, remember to investigate secretly." ”
Moon Palace.
The main hall was pitch black, and Chu Yue sat on the collapse, rubbing the handkerchief from time to time, and his heart was very chaotic.
The sporadic moonlight sprinkled down, revealing a meager light, and you could probably see the layout of the temple clearly.
After a long time, Chu Yue got up, asked Rouge to come in and light candles, and asked her to call Chu Xi in.
"Cairen, what do you command?"
"You followed Gu Baolin before, and the last time you drugged me, Gu Baolin did it, how did you solve this matter in the end?"
"Talented, the slave said that because he was afraid, he didn't dare to take the drug, because the talented person was fine, so Gu Baolin just lost his temper, and didn't say anything else."
Chu Yue beckoned to Chu Xi, because he was hunched all the year round, Chu Xi's back was easily bent down, "What do you have to say?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, Gu Baolin also has two shops in his hands, one is a pawnshop, and one is a silk village, you will go out of the palace tomorrow......"
Chu Xi's eyes changed from astonishment to admiration, "Talented, slaves know how to do it." ”
After Chu Xi left, Chu Yue let Linlang in, "Aren't you good at embroidery?" ”
"Yes, the slave's mother is an embroiderer, and the slave has followed her mother since she was a child and learned a hand."
"That's good, I'll give you the pattern later, you follow the way I gave you, embroidery, remember not to let anyone know, understand?"
"Understood."
Seeing that Linlang and Chu Xi had something to do, Rouge stepped forward, "Cairen, I'll do something!" ”
"You don't have to do anything."
Rouge has been trained by Chu Yue, and he has been much better in this regard, and he doesn't feel that the talented person is biased, but he saw that Chu Yue's face was a little pale and a little worried, "Cairen, what did you say to the emperor today, since the emperor left, you locked yourself in the room." ”
"I told a lie to let him know that I did all this to give the Chu family justice."
Rouge turned pale with fright, "Cairen, how can you say it, if the emperor is angry, what should you do!" ”
Chu Yue smiled at her, got up and moved around the hall, "Don't worry, the more I tell him so blatantly, what I want to do, the less dangerous it will be." ”
"Why, when the Son of Heaven is angry, he is going to cut off his head!"
Rouge came to Chu Yue's side worriedly and lowered his voice, "Talented, the Chu family is already difficult, if the emperor moves to kill the master secretly, then won't the Chu family's grievances be difficult to show?" ”
Chu Yue shook his head, "The emperor will not kill his father easily, if he wants to kill his father, he can find a justifiable reason, there is no need to be secret, not only that, I will find out the matter, the emperor may send someone to protect his father and mother." ”
Rouge was puzzled, "Why! ”
"The kings of all dynasties have a common problem, suspicious, the Chu family has been determined as an iron case, it is not easy to overturn the case, if the emperor does not want to overturn the case for the Chu family, then no matter what I do, even if I find all the evidence, then he may not take a second look, and what he does will be in vain."
Rouge's eyes lit up, "So, talented people, you want to try the emperor's bottom line." ”
"The emperor didn't answer, it can be regarded as giving us a chance, and then we'll see if we are powerful, or the person behind the Chu family is powerful."
Now it's just a way to find out what happened to the Chu family back then.
She had to find time to go out of the palace and talk to Chu Yongshou, he might know something.
……
It's the day of worship again, Chu Yue is still wearing light makeup, and only brings a hairpin.
still came to the door of Fengqi Palace early.
Qu Zhaoyi was the first to arrive, but this time, Chu Yue did not take the initiative to step forward, counting the matter of the second prince last time, Qu Zhaoyi had already calculated her twice openly and secretly, she was not a loser, she didn't care about it for the sake of the second prince.
But it is obvious that Qu Zhaoyi is not a person who accepts good things when he sees them.
"Isn't this Chu Cairen? Why are you dressed so quietly, you look like this every time you see the emperor? ”
Yuan Zhaorong and Gu Baolin came together, and when they saw Chu Yue's figure, their chins were raised high.
"Participate in Yuan Zhaorong, Gu Baolin."
Chu Yue bowed and saluted.
"Sister Gu, look at my hairpin!"
Gu Baolin and Yuan Zhaorong glanced at each other, and understood that Yuan Zhaorong wanted to make things difficult for Chu Yue, which was something she was happy to see, and then said with a smile, "Sister Yuan is really a national color, wearing this hairpin, it is really bright and moving." ”
"This was rewarded by the concubine two days ago."
"It turned out to be a reward from the concubine Niangniang, or the love of the concubine Niangniang who is deep in my sister, and such a valuable hairpin is rewarded to my sister."
The two of you said it word by word, and they didn't let Chu Yue get up at all.
Chu Yue was not in a hurry, and Linlang, who was following her, was not in a hurry, the two of them still saluted and did not move.
I haven't seen Chu Yue shake for a long time, Yuan Zhaoyi and Gu Baolin glanced at each other, feeling that something was wrong, why didn't there be anything wrong after standing for so long?
"Sister Gu, look at me, I'm talking to you patronizing, Chu Cairen is still watching here, Sister Chu, hurry up!"
Chu Yue stood up straight in response, first as if he was fine, with an indifferent smile on his face, as if he was a white lotus blooming in the mud, white as jade, indomitable, and maintained his heart even in a difficult situation.
Gu Baolin came to Chu Yue's side at this time, and gently took her hand, "Looking at Sister Chu's appearance, it is much better than before, has it recovered?" ”
Chu Yue didn't speak, because she saw Yuan Zhaorong walking towards her, "What is Sister Gu talking about, if Sister Chu's body recovers, how can she not go to bed, I heard that the emperor has been to Yingyue Palace for more than ten days in a row, but there has been no news that Chu Cairen has been sleeping, I think it is not yet recovered." ”
Gu Baolin looked suddenly realized, "It turns out that my sister's illness has not been cured yet, it has been cured for so long, it can't be some incurable disease!" ”
Gu Baolin's voice was loud, enough to attract the nearby concubines to look at it.
