In the room, Apricot paced back and forth, and after walking for a long time, she stopped and said, "Fifth Miss, are all the people in this courtyard credible?" ”

Qingdi sat by the window and was stunned for a moment when she heard her words. If it is credible, the apricots were sent by the imperial concubine, Yang Xin regarded his mother as a benefactor, and Zhou Yi was his uncle's person, so they should all be credible.

If it is not credible, first of all, Qingdi doesn't know what kind of heart her uncle has to recognize her, after all, they haven't seen each other for so many years, whether this person is her uncle still needs to be verified, even if it is true, will he just want to use himself to deal with the Prime Minister? Is there really such a deep family relationship between them?

Besides, Yang Xin, according to Yang Xin, he should be absolutely credible. But Qingdi also had some doubts, was what he said true or false? Is it true that he took Qingdi to meet the person who framed her mother in the first place? If he really wanted to repay her mother for her kindness to him, why didn't he go over and help them when they were suffering?

and Apricot who is now locked up with herself, if Apricot is originally Chu Yaocen's person, and she listens to Chu Yaocen's words like the killing, then she is definitely credible. But there is another prerequisite for Apricot to obey Chu Yaocen's order, that is, the imperial concubine. So why should the imperial concubine be good for herself? Is it for Chu Yaocen's reason? Or does she want to do something with herself, too? She always felt that a person like the imperial concubine who could dominate the harem would not be sincere to anyone.

Seeing that Qingdi didn't answer, Apricot asked tentatively, "Miss, are you listening to the slave?" ”

Qingdi came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and nodded, "I'm listening." After killing now, I'm protecting Yu'er, and I still have the three of you in my yard, all of which are absolutely credible, and I only have you to trust. ”

"So what are they capable of? Can you get the lady out? Kyoko asked again.

Qingdi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

Kyoko sighed and stopped talking.

Qingdi's eyes rolled, since Apricot came, she pretended to be herself to cover up when she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and helped a lot. But other than that, Qingdi has never had a good chat with her, and he doesn't know her very well. Now they are all grasshoppers in the same boat, whether they believe it or not, they must unite to have a chance to escape. The premise of unity is mutual understanding.

So Qingdi patted the stool next to him and said, "You sit down, don't turn around, my head will be dizzy." ”

Apricot thanked Qingdi and sat down next to her.

"I've been busy with other things before, and I haven't paid much attention to you." Qingdi smiled embarrassedly, and after laughing, he asked directly, "Aren't you from the imperial concubine?" How did you come to me? ”

"The slave maid was originally the maid next to the imperial concubine, and the maid loved the second young master Chu very much, and saw that the second young master was so old and had no marriage, so she gave the slave to the second young master, and wanted the slave and maid to take good care of the second young master."

Qingdi nodded, naturally knowing what the "care" in the imperial concubine's mouth meant.

"But the second young master is not interested in the affairs of men and women, the slave maid came to the Chu family half a year ago, and the second young master has never seen the slave and maid a few times, and has always kept the slave and maid as idlers." Apricot said helplessly: "A few days ago, the fifth lady wanted to save your sister from the prime minister's house, and after killing and came up with a plan to take advantage of the chaos, she brought many maids in, among which the slave maid was selected, and the slave maid had the experience of doing things beside the imperial concubine Niangniang, and this identity usually pressed the subordinates of the prime minister's mansion a little, so that they did not dare to bully the young lady, so the slave maid stayed." ”

Qingdi nodded, and when his eyes saw the incense on the desk, he took the lamp and candle and lit the incense. Then continued: "So you are actually no longer a Niangniang's person, but a Chu Gongzi's person?" ”

Xingzi nodded, looked at Qingdi and smiled: "Originally, the descendants of our Chu family privately said that the second young master of Chu was stupid, so he didn't open up on the affairs of men and women. But after the second young master saw Miss Five, he began to be desperately good to Miss Five. In the past, we always discussed together, what kind of person is the fifth miss of this prime minister's mansion, who can actually make the second young master enlightened, and now that I see the fifth miss, the slave finally understands that what immortals went down to earth in the past were all ghosts, and only the fifth miss is the real fairy down to earth. ”

Seeing her sincerity, Qingdi's eyes were full of amazement and admiration, and she couldn't help but be a little shy, and said: "You have won the award, in fact, Chu Gongzi is not such a superficial person, he is good to me, probably because I stood up for him when I first met him." ”

Apricot thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, the second young master likes Miss, not only because Miss is good-looking, but also because Miss is kind-hearted." ”

Qingdi didn't know how to talk to her anymore. She was originally a relatively straight person, but she learned to restrain herself after she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. But she is still not used to being polite to others, and she is not used to being praised like this.

Qingdi hurriedly chatted with her about other things, and after talking for a while, Kyoko began to yawn constantly.

Qingdi stopped talking and asked her, "Are you sleepy?" If you're sleepy, go to bed and sleep for a while. ”

Apricot waved her hand again and again: "No, no, it's the young lady's bed, how can the slave and maid sleep?" Besides, the slave maid wants to serve the young lady, so the young lady should go to sleep. ”

"Go to sleep, there's only one bed in this room, and you can't be told to sleep on the floor, right? I can't tell you to stay awake all the time. Qingdi smiled and said, "It's okay, when I lived outside before, I was squeezed into the same bed with my mother and my brother, and the bed was not half the size of this bed." ”

When Apricot heard her say this, she felt that she was really sleepy, so she nodded, got up and asked, "Then the slave waits for Miss to sleep first." ”

"No need, you don't have to worry about me, just go to sleep by yourself, I'm not sleepy." Qingdi seemed to be a little impatient, waved his hand and said: "I'm not used to being served, I asked you to come in with me today, just because I want to talk to someone, otherwise it would be too boring to be alone." ”

Apricot is very good at reading people's faces, and seeing that she really doesn't want to sleep, she will only be bored if she is entangled, so she nodded and went to bed.

After a while, Qingdi estimated that Apricot had really fallen asleep, so he got up and extinguished the incense, and sat back to read the book.

After a long time, Qingdi was looking intently, and suddenly heard a crisp sound from the door, she hurriedly got up to look, but before she reached the door, the door was pushed open, and Lu Yin Shi Ran walked in.

Qingdi said happily: "Master, you are here so soon." ”

Lu Yin didn't reply first, raised his eyes and saw someone else lying on the bed behind Qingdi, raised his chin and pointed at her, "Is that person credible?" ”

"It should be credible," Qingdi smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter, I knew that Master would definitely come over, so I used the incense that Luo Wanwan didn't take away to stun her." ”

Lu Yin smiled slightly, touched her head and said, "Good job, but you are careful to stun yourself." ”

"I saw that Luo Wanwan's book wrote that this incense has no effect as long as you eat ginger, so I ate all the ginger at noon today. That's why I'm not going to get myself dazed. After Qingdi finished speaking, he asked Lu Yindao, "Master, how did you get in?" I heard that Feng Boyang sent a lot of manpower to block the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"No matter how many people there are, it's not a trivial matter for me," Lu Yin's tone was quite uncontrollable, and he asked Qingdi, "Then are you leaving with me?" It's also a no-brainer to take you out. ”

"No, I can't leave just yet." Qingdi shook his head: "Master, have you forgotten the plan I discussed with you last night?" ”

Lu Yin nodded: "Naturally, I remember, but you clearly said that your trick can make the Yin family, the Shen family, and Feng Boyang kill each other and resent each other, but you didn't say that your house arrest is also part of your plan." ”

"Because I don't just have to deal with the three of them, but also Feng Youping and Feng Yanhui, these two people don't bully me and Yu'er." Qingdi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Master, can you prepare something for me?" ”

Lu Yin nodded and asked, "What?" ”

Qingdi stood on tiptoe and leaned into his ear and said a few words.

Lu Yin nodded and said, "It's a trivial matter." So you just need me to prepare these things for you, and you don't need to go with me? ”

Qingdi nodded: "I can't go, and I'm gone, and I'm still there." ”

"Well, I see, take care." Lu Yin said, went out and locked the door again, and quickly left Xiuge.

Soon after, the spring equinox and Zhou Yi also returned, and the two sent the snacks they brought in to Qingdi, but the spring equinox didn't give them more time to communicate, so they quickly called Zhou Yi out and locked the door again.

Zhou Yi didn't seem to care, said goodbye to the spring equinox, and went back to sleep. The vernal equinox was kept until he turned off the lights and did not leave the yard.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yi sneaked out of the room again, and when he saw that the light in Qingdi's room was still on, he went over and knocked on the window lightly, and asked, "Miss, have you slept?" ”

"Nope." Qingdi whispered back to him.

"The slave went to that forest, but he was afraid that he would leave for too long to hide people's eyes, so he didn't wait for Miss's master, so he hurried back."

"You've been notified, he's coming, you're doing a good job." Qingdi said to him: "Zhou Yi, I still need you to do another thing now." ”

"Miss, please command."

Qingdi stuffed the letter he had just written through the crack in the window and said to him, "You take this letter, don't act rashly yet. Before noon tomorrow, if Yang Xin brings Gongzi Chu, you will burn the letter. If Gongzi Chu still doesn't come after noon, you will find an opportunity to leave Xiuge and hand over the letter to the fourth prince. ”

Zhou Yi put the letter away and responded: "The slave must do it." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, you should go back to sleep quickly, it will be dawn soon."

Zhou Yi said "um" and went back to the room to rest.

The next day, Zhou Yi woke up and still didn't hear any news from Yang Xin, afraid that he had been intercepted by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He honestly waited until noon according to Qingdi's instructions, but he still didn't see Chu Yaocen coming over, and he didn't see Yang Xin come back, so he took the letter and planned to go out.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, someone stopped him and said, "What are you going out for?" ”
