Chapter Forty-Eight: Two Books

After dinner, Chu Xi cautiously reported that the Moon Palace did not find anything abnormal, nothing more, just two books missing.

Two books?

"It's a book rewarded by the emperor, and there are two books missing about medical skills."

After listening to Chu Xi's words, Chu Yue suddenly became cautious, if there was no jewelry and porcelain, it would be nothing.

It should have been the palace maid or eunuch who had a bad heart and took it.

But books are different.

Those books are not worth anything at all, what are they doing with them?

Chu Yue was worried all night, but early the next morning, Chu Xi came again, saying that the book had been found and had not been lost.

"The book of talented people was originally placed in the cabinet, and I was careless."

Chu Xi lowered his head embarrassedly.

But Chu Yue looked at him coldly, "Chu Xi, you have always been cautious, don't you know where the book is?" ”

Chu Xi was glared at by Chu Yue, and immediately knelt down, "Talented people......"

"Chu Xi, is my Yingyue Palace too small to accommodate you?"

Chu Xi hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, talented, Chu Xi didn't dare to betray talent." ”

"Don't you dare?"

Chu Yue's breath gradually became cold, staring at Chu Xi with a little more warning, what she didn't like the most was that others lied to her. "Honestly, isn't it?"

words, the most afraid to say half of it.

Chu Xi trembled, "Don't hide the talent, the key to the treasury is only me and Sister Rouge, these books are a gift from the emperor, the slave was specially stored in the cabinet before, but a few days ago Mama Yan came, the only person wanted to find some books to read, at that time the slave was busy doing the things that the talent explained, and the treasury was handed over to Sister Rouge to take care of, yesterday I went back and asked Sister Rouge, she said that the two books were put away by her, and they were not placed in the warehouse. ”

Chu Yue frowned, "Why did Rouge put the book away?" ”

"Sister Rouge said that she wanted to see it for herself and learn some medical science, which can prevent people from harming talented people."

Chu Yue then remembered that Rouge had said before that he would learn some medical science, so that there would be no allergies between Zheng'er and her.

There have been a lot of things lately, and she's forgotten about it.

If the rouge is taken away, it doesn't hurt.

"Get up!"

Chu Xi staggered up, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, "You go and bring me those two books." ”

Although she didn't doubt Rouge's loyalty, she always felt that there was something going on here, and she had to check it herself just in case to feel at ease.

Chu Xi quickly took the book, and when he came in, he was still followed by Rouge.

As soon as Rouge came in, he knelt down, "Cairen, it's the book I held, if you want to punish me, punish me!" ”

"Get up, I forgot about it, I don't blame you."

She had promised Rouge to let her read some books, but she forgot about it for a while.

Rouge stood up, "Talented, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's okay, just in case, what about Chu Xishu?"

"Here!"

At the moment when the book was handed over, Chu Yue pushed the book away.

The two books fell to the ground, and Chu Xi subconsciously wanted to pick them up, "Don't pick them up, the books are poisonous." ”

As soon as he heard that it was poisonous, Chu Xi was so frightened that he retracted his hand, "Talented? ”

Rouge was also frightened and took a step back, "Talented? ”

Chu Yue wrapped his hand with a handkerchief, and then picked up the books scattered on the ground, smelled it, and his eyes were cold.

"Chu Xi, are you familiar with the smell on it?"

Chu Xi came to the front of the book and smelled it, and was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "Cairen, I didn't do it, I didn't, I threw away all the medicine Gu Baolin gave me before." ”

Chu Yue threw the book at Chu Xi's feet, "If you really threw it away, then why is there a medicinal powder on this book, this medicine has a unique taste, a bit like a damp smell, you also smelled it just now, how do you explain this?" ”

Rouge is Chu Yue's confidant, and she naturally knows about Gu Baolin's instructions to poison Chu Xi, "Okay, you Chu Xi, you even help Gu Baolin do things, I asked you if you got it and said that talented people are not good for you, have you let the dog eat your heart?" ”

"Talent Mingjian, since the last time the talent showed me the way, I vowed to follow the talent, loyal for the rest of my life, the slave doesn't know how these medicines come from, the slave really doesn't know, ask for talent Mingjian."

Chu Yue didn't speak, but Rouge stepped forward and pointed at him, "Who are you fooling, only you have this medicine, not you?" ”

Chu Xi was anxious to defend himself, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say a word of explanation, so he could only kowtow, "Cairen, Mingjian, it's really not a minion, a minion is loyal to you." ”

Rouge was about to scold, but Chu Yue stopped him with a look, "You get up!" ”

Chu Xi was surprised for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up.

"Cairen, you actually believe him?" Rouge stepped forward in a hurry, for fear that Chu Yue would be deceived by Chu Xi.

"He shouldn't have given the medicine, although only he has access to this medicine, but don't forget, this book is in your hand."

Rouge's eyes widened, "Cairen is suspicious of me?" ”

"No, I don't doubt you."

Rouge breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yue looked at Rouge cautiously, "Rouge, think about it carefully, besides you who has come into contact with this book, who else has come into contact with it." ”

Rouge understood what Chu Yue meant, "Cairen is talking about Gu Baolin's people in the palace?" ”

"It's hard to say, you just have to think about who else has touched this book."

Rouge didn't even think about it, and was about to speak.

Chu Yue knew what she was going to say, and sighed, "Except for Linlang!" ”

Rouge was pierced in her heart, and her face turned embarrassed, "No one has entered the slave's room except Linlang." ”

"Are you sure that no one will come to your room to borrow something, or have something to do with you?"

Being reminded by Chu Yue like this, Rouge's eyes suddenly widened, "I remember, two days ago, the palace maid Qiao'er came to my room to borrow needle and thread, and it happened that someone was looking for a slave and maid at that time, and the slave told Qiao'er that the needle and thread were in the box, so she came to serve." ”

Chu Xi opened his mouth, but when he thought that it was better for him to talk less at this time, he simply closed his mouth.

"Chu Xi, these days I have been closely monitoring Qiao'er to see who she is dealing with!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yue's gaze slowly fell on the two books, and his eyes gradually deepened.

In the middle of the night, Linlang came back.

"Cairen, now all the palaces are panicking, Concubine Wan has arrested a lot of people in order to find out about this matter, and now the torture room is overcrowded."

"Then what did Father-in-law Jiang Huai say?"

"Grandpa Jiang didn't say anything, but I watched, those people are indeed habitual offenders who steal things from various palaces, but there are also many henchmen of various palaces, it seems that Wan Guifei wants to take this opportunity to clean up some people who don't go well."
