Chapter 44: The Lady 3
Now Jin Se was really frightened, the glutinous rice lotus root cake fell to the ground, and Jin Se said with a crying voice: "Miss I'm sorry, I'll clean it up now, I'm sorry." ”
Chu Tian's voice was a little softer and Jin Se said, "It's okay, I don't blame you." You pack up, I'll go out. ”
After saying that, Qiao'er followed her out of the room with a confused face.
As Chu Tian walked through the corridor, he glanced up at the courtyard where Zhixi's study was located. Qiao'er took a step, stepped onto Chu Tian's shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you think of? ”
Chu Tian was used to Qiao'er like this, but he startled the maid who came over and looked panicked.
Chu Tian walked a few steps and said to Qiao'er: "Just now Jin Se inadvertently called me Madame, which reminded me that I never doubted Mrs. Xiao Wei, Wu Niang. She was so nice to me, I forgot about her. But isn't the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion the most likely to obey the orders of the two people, General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao. ”
Qiao'er rolled her eyes sideways and said, "She seems to really care about you, but maybe she is acting." That gentle-looking, humble face is hardly suspicious. ”
Chu Tian quickened his pace and said, "I think, when the day is full, the emperor should send someone to seal the mansion and collect the military power in front of everyone." We need to hurry up and get to the truth before we do. ”
Xiao's Mansion was exceptionally quiet today, Chu Tian patted the door, the little guy who opened the door rubbed his eyes, opened the door a crack, and asked, "Who?" Immediately seeing that it was Chu Tian, he hurriedly opened the door and said, "Yo, Princess Xi is really early today, please come in, please come in." I'm going to pass on the lady. ”
Chu Tian followed this little guy and walked inside, saying as he walked: "I made an appointment with my wife, and now I can't delay it if I have an urgent matter." ”
There was a hint of puzzlement in the little girl's eyes, but he nodded, and his steps were a little faster.
The sky was faintly bright, and the candle flame in Wuniang's room was not extinguished all night, unusually bright, as if there were many bright lights hanging.
When Chu Tian and the little maid arrived at the door of Wu Niang, the maid sat on the threshold and fell asleep.
The little girl took three steps and stepped over in two steps, shook the maid awake and said, "Why do you sleep here?" Why is Madame's room still lit, but Madame is awake? ”
The maid rubbed her eyes and stood up and said, "Madame hasn't slept all night, I wanted to wait for Madame to sleep before going to sleep, and I fell asleep after waiting." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, "It's all dawning." ”
"Princess Xi has something urgent, then you go and talk to Madame." The little guy said and glanced at Chu Tian.
The maid looked behind the little maid, only to find that Chu was behind her, hurriedly saluted, and was about to knock on the door and enter.
"Let her in." Before the maid's hand touched the door, Wu Niang's voice sounded inside.
Hearing the sound, Chu Tian walked a few steps quickly without hesitation and entered the door. Qiao'er jumped, went up to the edge of the window, crossed her paws and lay down, pricking up her ears to listen to the movement inside.
Wu Niang's eyes are slightly blue, and she is wearing a red brocade dress, which looks like a bride's dress. She sat in front of the mirror, brushing her hair. Seeing Chu leaning in, she put down the comb, turned her head with a gentle face, and said, "Qingyue." After a brief pause, he said, "I guess you already know." ”
The eyebrows are gentle and kind, not at all like the person who poisoned Qingyue.
Chu tilted his eyebrows, frowning not because of what Wu Niang said. What Wu Niang said should refer to General Xiao's assassination of rebellion and arrest in the palace. She frowned because she saw red candles all over the table.
