Chapter 109: Banquet for the Ministers
That's right, if you want to take revenge, you must leave here first and return to the capital to find a way.
"I'm more curious than that, who is looking for you? In the past few days, several waves of people have come looking for you everywhere, and I have almost turned this place upside down, so that you will not be discovered, I have wasted a lot of effort. ”
Zhao Xunxin suddenly changed her voice and asked about something else.
Qiao Xin's pupils narrowed suddenly, remembering the person he had seen a few days ago, both nostalgic and entangled, mixed with pain and happiness.
"What are you asking for?" Qiao Xin obviously didn't want to mention Zhao Cheng, and her eyes were a little more vigilant.
"What are you doing so nervous? Let me guess, that person should be His Royal Highness the King of the City, right? Zhao Xunxin saw Qiao Xin's emotions in her eyes, and her eyes were meaningful.
"You, what do you want to do?" Qiao Xin looked at Zhao Xunxin with wide eyes, she only felt that Zhao Xunxin was very terrifying now, like a beast hiding in the dark, biting him fiercely when people were not paying attention.
"I said you're stupid enough, you obviously have such a great opportunity in front of you, but you don't know how to take advantage of it." Zhao Xunxin returned to her previous appearance, slowly sewing stitches and threads, as if the terrible person just now was Qiao Xin's fantasy.
Qiao Xin knew that from beginning to end, there was a person in front of him, a terrible person.
"I, I can't hear what you're saying. I'm tired and want to rest, so I'll talk about leaving later. After speaking, Qiao Xin closed her eyes and stopped looking at Zhao Xunxin.
Zhao Xunxin was not annoyed when she saw Qiao Xin's reaction, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she didn't care whether Qiao Xin wanted to listen to it or not, and continued, "His Royal Highness the King of the City obviously can't let you go when he comes to you, as long as you return to His Royal Highness the King of the City, he will definitely take you out of here and back to his fiefdom." ”
"At that time, if you want to do something, such as money, people, news, but it's much more convenient, you think about it, if you figure it out, come to me, I'm next door."
Qiao Xin's mind is very messed up now, as soon as she closes her eyes, Zhao Xunxin's words will ring in her ears, making her fidget.
……
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Dining Room
"You dead girl, have you fallen into evil? Yes? In the past two days, I have been clumsy in doing things, and I can even take fennel and star anise wrong, see if I don't teach you a good lesson today! ”
The aunt in charge, a feather duster, grabbed the ears of a little palace maid, and taught her a hard lesson, no one else in the kitchen dared to come forward and beg for mercy.
"Auntie, I, I know it's wrong, I don't dare anymore, aunt, just spare me for a while." The little palace maid is delicate, but there are a few red marks on her face, which is obviously slapped.
Two lines of tears hung on my little face, and I felt pity.
It's okay not to beg for mercy, but this begging for mercy, the aunt in charge is beating harder and harder.
Half an hour smaller.
Maybe the aunt in charge was tired of fighting, so she scolded and let go of the little palace maid, "Dead girl, what are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and wash the dishes, you can't finish washing before dark, don't eat! ”
The little palace maid wiped her tears, ran to the big basin with the bowl in fear, and began to dry.
"Use some strength, I didn't see that the leaves were still on the bowl, so if I couldn't wash it, I would rewash it until it was clean! Hum! ”
The aunt in charge scolded for a while, until she was called, and then let go of the little palace maid.
Now that it is winter, and the water is ice, it didn't take long for Wan'er's hands to freeze numb, and there were still three basins of bowls in front of her that had not been washed, each of which was one square meter in size.
"Wan'er, don't cry, I'll help you, I've finished my work today, and I must finish washing before dark." As soon as the aunt in charge left, a little palace maid wearing the same clothes as Wan'er ran over and comforted her.
Wan'er looked at Ying'er and was very grateful to her, "Ying'er, thank you, if you hadn't helped me these days, maybe I would have died here a long time ago." ”
"Wan'er, what are you talking about, we entered the palace together, we are good sisters, if we don't support each other, it makes sense." Ying'er obviously didn't take these things to heart, and she Wan'er was her only support in this palace.
"Ouch!" , Wan'er suddenly covered her stomach, her little face was huddled together, and she looked very uncomfortable.
"Wan'er, Wan'er, are you?" Ying'er immediately put down the work in her hand and ran to Wan'er's side, her face anxious.
"I, my stomach hurts......"
"Wan'er, otherwise I'll help you go back to rest, I'll do all this work."
"But, but...... If the aunt in charge finds out, she will definitely be punished again. I don't want to bother you. Wan'er shook her head, her words earnest.
"Don't worry, my aunt has gone to drink, and she won't be back today, so go and rest."
"Well, well."
couldn't stand Ying'er's persuasion, so Wan'er agreed, and looked back at Ying'er step by step, always feeling that she had caused her trouble.
As soon as Wan'er returned to the room, her face immediately changed, where was the previous weakness?
"What a fool, on such a cold day, you should wash well, Miss Ben wants to rest for a while, she froze to death, really, she doesn't even have a brazier." Wan'er quickly turned into the quilt, accidentally touched the wound, and gasped in pain.
"Damn old witch, you are so heavy, sooner or later Miss Ben will want you to look good!"
Wan'er scolded for a while, then fell asleep in a daze, and it wasn't until midnight that Ying'er washed all the dishes and returned to the room, and Wan'er woke up.
"Wan'er, I'm sorry, did I wake you up because I was too loud?" Ying'er's pair was already red and swollen, and she was barely warming up by the faint light of the candlelight.
"It's nothing, it's me who has burdened you."
"We are all sisters, how can there be anything that is not involved, so outside." Poor Ying'er still doesn't know that she has been deceived.
"Well, hurry up and sleep, I have to work tomorrow, if I don't have the energy, I will be punished by my aunt in charge again."
After Ying'er fell asleep, Wan'er went out of the door, and the direction turned out to be in the direction of Jiang Youxi and Zhao Yu's bedroom.
……
"Youxi, I see that you have been sullen for the past two days, and after lunch today, I will take you out of the palace for a walk, what?" As soon as he got up in the morning, Zhao Yu hugged Jiang Youxi, a little reluctant to go to the morning court.
As soon as Jiang Youxi heard Zhao Yu's words, he instantly came to his senses, nothing happened in the past few days, it was ordinary, it was not fun at all, Jiang Youxi was about to suffocate.
As soon as I heard that I could go out of the palace to play, I couldn't bear it anymore. I can't wait to grow a pair of wings immediately and fly directly out of the palace.
"Okay, okay, when the time comes, the two of us will go and hand over Nianyu and them to the prince." Jiang Youxi didn't want to take the children with him, but the children were still young, two or three years old, and if they went with them, there would be a lot of trouble.
Zhao Yu also agreed with such a proposal, you must know that he has not lived a good two-person world with Jiang Youxi for a long time.
As long as Nian Yu is awake, he will definitely stick to Jiang Youxi, and he can't coax him away, if it weren't for Nian Yu is his son, I'm afraid he would have let people throw him out of the palace a long time ago.
"Then I'll go to the court, you prepare well." After speaking, Zhao Yu kissed Jiang Youxi deeply on the forehead.
"Well, let's go. I'll wait for you to come back. ”
……
Outside the customs
After some struggle, Qiao Xin still decided to listen to Zhao Xunxin. Pass through the king of the city first, and then get out of here.
No, Qiao Xin took Zhao Xunxin back to the inn where he had fled before.
"Lord, woo, I didn't expect to see you again, I'm not dreaming, right? ......"As soon as he saw Zhao Cheng, Qiao Xin cried, and there were still many blood stains on his body.
When Zhao Cheng saw it, he was distressed, and immediately asked people to find a doctor.
Fortunately, the doctor diagnosed Qiao Xin with a minor injury, plus she was frightened, as long as she rested for a few days, she would be fine.
"Xin'er, are you here? Will you suddenly disappear? This king has been looking for you for a long time, and this king thinks that you ......"
Lost and regained, Zhao Cheng hugged Qiao Xin tightly, afraid that as soon as he let go, Qiao Xin would not.
"Woo, after the prince left that day, two men in black suddenly appeared and arrested me, saying that they wanted to buy me in Xiangcui Building."
Qiao Xin cried and was afraid, "They locked me in a room and didn't give me food, if I didn't obey." They also beat me. ”
"I was so scared that I didn't know what to do." Qiao Xin wiped her tears, but she looked at Zhao Xunxin on the side, "They caught Xunxin again, and the two of us took care of each other." ”
", while the two men in black went to find the owner of Xiangcui Building, the two of us escaped quietly."
"Xin'er, don't be afraid, don't worry, this king will never let anyone bully you anymore, and he will never let you suffer any more grievances."
Although Qiao Xin's words are full of loopholes, Zhao Cheng is now focused on Qiao Xin, where can he detect anything? directly let people seal Xiangcui Building.
……
"Zhao Yu, look, rock sugar gourd." Jiang Youxi and Zhao Yu changed into ordinary clothes, walked side by side on the street, and saw the rock sugar gourd from a distance, Jiang Youxi was overjoyed, and pulled Zhao Yu over.
Zhao Yu let Jiang Youxi pull it, his eyes were full of pampering.
"Boss, bring me two strings!"
Jiang Youxi looked at the rock sugar gourd, his eyes were full of red hearts, and he couldn't wait to order two strings.
"Okay! Girl, take it well, a total of three cents. ”
When the boss saw that business came to the door, he was very enthusiastic and gave them two strings of the best-looking.
"No need to look for it." Seeing that Jiang Youxi was happy, Zhao Yu was one or two pieces of silver as soon as he made a move, and the boss smiled so much that his eyes couldn't see, and he called for another time.
"Here, I'll give you a string." Jiang Youxi looked at it and handed a string of the best to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu smiled, but didn't take it, but snatched the string that Jiang Youxi had eaten, and ate one without hesitation, his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Well, sure enough, this string is still the best." ”
