76. The wine cellar of the annex
Before Phantom Dance arrived at the underground cellar, she smelled the aroma of wine coming from the underground cellar. There were several attendants standing at the entrance of the wine cellar, all of them with panicked faces, as if they saw hope at the arrival of Phantom Dance.
"Pull off, all of you." Phantom Dance grimaced and commanded.
"Yes!" Several attendants who were still at a loss for what to do, after hearing Phantom Dance's orders, all hurried away as if a savior was coming.
"Young Master!" Entering the wine cellar, Phantom Dance smelled the aroma of wine and found Chen Chenyi in the depths. At this time, around Chen Chenyi, there were already some pots of fine wine.
"Come, you haven't drunk with me for a long time...... Chen Chen said calmly, while holding a pot of wine and handing it to Phantom Dance. His expression was calm, but his eyes were full of loneliness.
"Young Master......"
"Huh?"
Phantom Dance whispered softly, although the wine cellar was built by Chen Chenyi and asked for winemaking, but this wine cellar can be built, Chen Chenyi is not for himself, but for his brother. But his brother Chen Chenxi has been with his father for many years and rarely returns home. Therefore, the wine cellar has always been handled by attendants, including winemaking.
Although Chen Chenyi is not a drop of wine, he will not pour a glass. But Chen Chen has never let himself get drunk, he is very restrained and self-aware every time, and he knows how to get to the point. The wine in the cellar is also mostly used to deliver the general's mansion or entertain guests.
However, in the years that Phantom Dance has followed, in Phantom Dance's memory, there is only one time, and only one time, Chen Chenyi locked himself in the wine cellar and drank drunk.
At that time, because something happened in the General's Mansion, Chen Chenyi was still young, even if he knew that there was trouble at home, but he couldn't do anything, this feeling made Chen Chenyi's emotions fall into extreme loss for a while.
At that time, no one knew about these attendants trained secretly by Chen Chen, and Chen Chenyi was a maid who bought it under the pretext of the appearance of Phantom Dance Haisheng.
In addition, no one knew the location of the garden except for the attendants, and the attendants in the garden did not dare to stop it, so Chen Chen locked himself in the wine cellar for three full days in order to vent his emotions.
Three days later, Phantom Dance, who was guarding outside, couldn't help it, and forcibly broke open the door of the wine cellar, and saw Chen Chenyi, who was covered in wine, I don't know whether he was asleep or drunk, and fell unconscious in the wine cellar.
Seeing this, Hai Sheng also hurriedly picked up Chen Chen and walked out, and the attendants quickly arranged the carriage and came to the Song Mansion as quickly as possible. At that time, Song Anxiao was also frightened when he saw it, but he didn't expect Chen Chen to toss himself so much, and hurriedly sent the imperial doctor in the palace to come for diagnosis and treatment.
That time, Chen Chenyi was in a coma for seven days before he woke up in a daze, and he was unwell for a long time after waking up. However, it was also because of this tossing that Song Anxiao and his wife had the opportunity to know that Chen Chen had secretly trained the attendants.
This time, as soon as Chen Chen entered the cellar again, the attendants would inevitably worry about repeating what happened back then. But after all, Chen Chenyi is the master, as an attendant, who dares to open his mouth to stop it?
"Master, let's just drink a little......"
"Phantom Dance doesn't know much about drinking......"
Phantom Dance remembered this incident back then, and couldn't help but feel faintly uneasy in her heart, and spoke softly, while moving the wine on the side a little. Chen Chen looked at Phantom Dance's actions, and he also raised his eyes to look at Phantom Dance in a bit of frustration.
"Am I stupid all along?" Chen Chen opened his mouth in a low tone.
"How so?" Phantom Dance was also stunned when she heard this, and then replied with a light smile.
"Come with me for a while." As soon as Chen Chen heard Phantom Dance's answer, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a self-deprecating smile, and then he opened his mouth calmly again.
Phantom Dance didn't stop it anymore, picked out a pot of wine, and drank it with Chen Chen. The two fell silent, all they could hear was the sound of sake running through their throats and the occasional crunch of flasks.
After drinking for an unknown amount of time, Phantom Dance only felt that her head began to feel a little foggy, and her face felt more and more burned. Phantom Dance realized that she couldn't continue to drink, and looked at Chen Chenyi, who was sitting opposite at this time, Lu Ming's vision began to shake a phantom.
"Young Master......"
Phantom Dance tried to restrain her state as much as possible, and tried to speak as calmly as she normally would.
"Let's go out......"
Seeing that Chen Chen was silent, Phantom Dance continued to speak.
But Chen Chen was not ready to stop at all, looking at the phantom dance with a little drunken appearance, Chen Chen's face still did not change, and he called loudly: "Come on!" ”
Haisheng, who was guarding the door of the wine cellar, hurriedly ran in when he heard Chen Chenyi's call. "Young Master!" Haisheng, who thought that Chen Chen was going to let himself in to clean up the wine cellar and was a little happy, was instantly stunned when he saw the somewhat drunk phantom dance.
"Take Phantom Dance to rest." When Chen Chen saw Hai Sheng running in, he didn't care at all, closed his eyes and gave a faint order, and then continued to drink.
"Yes......" Hai Sheng was a little stunned, he didn't expect Phantom Dance to get drunk......
"Young Master......" Just as Hai Sheng helped Phantom Dance and was about to leave, Phantom Dance muttered and said, "Prince...... The crown prince had already mentioned the young lady in front of the emperor...... Presumably...... The palace will inevitably send someone out***......"
"If so, young master......"
"Take Phantom Dance to rest!"
Before Phantom Dance's words could be finished, Chen Chenyi interrupted impatiently, and Hai Sheng was also slightly stunned after hearing Phantom Dance's intermittent words......
Seeing that Chen Chenyi was a little unhappy, Haisheng didn't dare to stay any longer, after all, everything he had to say was said about Phantom Dance, and all he had to do was take care of Phantom Dance.
At the same time, the sky was getting dark, and Lu Ming, who had followed Chen Chenyi, gave up and returned to the palace alone. Lu Ming has been by his side for so many years, so he naturally knows Song Anxiao's temper, and he can't be suppressed by the queen when he is young.
Outside the East Palace, Lu Ming climbed over the wall lightly, and clearly saw that Song Anxiao's house was lit with candles, and there were still a few maids guarding outside the house. Lu Ming's eyes crossed with a moment of indifference, and then he took out the dagger from his waist and made a sharp cut on his arm.
The sharp tingling sensation made Lu Ming frown, put away the dagger to cover the wound, and staggered off the wall and walked towards Song Anxiao's house.
"Deer Song!" The maids guarding the door watched Lu Ming coming, and couldn't help but scream when they noticed something unusual.
"Be quiet, don't disturb the prince's rest......" Lu Ming forced himself to walk in front of the maids, and then fell to the ground with some discouragement. In addition to the distinct tingling sensation, it was more about the cold wind blowing on the undried bloodstains, which brought the chill, which couldn't help but make Lu Ming shiver a little.
"Go, go and call the Imperial Doctor." One of the maids called.
"No need, Youyou, you help me back to the house, and I'll handle it myself. After a while, the prince woke up and told me. Lu Ming said, and after glancing at the flickering candlelight in the room, he stood up against the wall.
The maid named Youyou also hurriedly came over after hearing Lu Ming's words, supported Lu Ming, and let Lu Ming support her body as much as possible. Lu Ming obviously trembled slightly, and Youyou also frowned, helping Lu Ming to walk slowly in one direction.
"Prince, how long have you rested?" On the way, Lu Ming asked softly.
"The prince came back early in the morning, and he had been holding himself in the house for almost a day." Youyou replied calmly.
The best thing is the "little master" in the maid in the East Palace, and the other palaces are all male slaves or fathers-in-law, but in the East Palace, it is a maid in charge. When Song Anxiao was not in the East Palace, all the dots in the East Palace were in charge. In Song Anxiao's words, it is: the girl is more careful and meticulous in her work.
"You send someone to the kitchen and prepare some light dishes for the prince."
came to the room where Lu Ming was resting, Youyou took out the medicine box familiarly, and was about to remove the bloody clothes on Lu Ming's body when Lu Ming opened his mouth to support Youyou.
"Okay." When Youyou heard this, he was also slightly stunned, and then said yes and then exited the house.
By the time Lu Ming cleaned up and took care of everything, the sky outside the house was already dark and incomprehensible. changed his suit, glanced at the bandages that were faintly visible on his wrists, and then walked towards Song Anxiao's house with an indifferent face.
When they came to Song Anxiao's house, the maids were still guarding the door, and Youyou also happened to get food from the kitchen.
"Give it to me." Lu Ming took the plate from Youyou's hand, then turned around, and the maid guarding the door sensibly pushed open the door of Song Anxiao's house. After Lu Ming entered, he closed the door again.
"Prince, get up and eat."
"Did he hurt him?"
When Lu Ming entered the house, he put the food on the plate on the table one by one, and Song Anxiao, who was lying on the bed in the back room, also opened his mouth leisurely after hearing Lu Ming's words. In the tone, I can't hear the emotion, but it brings a slight sense of depression.
Hearing this, Lu Ming paused. Then he said calmly: "After leaving the city, I was discovered by the attendants hidden in the secret by the young master, and it was the attendants who injured me. ”
Song Anxiao was silent, and then walked out of the back room, and Lu Ming hurriedly took a cloak from the side and draped it on Song Anxiao.
Eating the food sent from the kitchen in obscurity, his eyes accidentally glanced at Lu Ming who was guarding the side, and when he saw Lu Ming's slightly frowning brows, Song Anxiao's eyes suddenly became a little indifferent.
"Send someone to find out what the plans of the father and the queen mother are, just come back and tell me, you can go and rest early."
Song Anxiao instructed indifferently, Lu Ming heard this, agreed, and then turned around and went out to arrange.
However, at this time, Lu Yanyue, who lived in the theater garden, continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and in order to avoid revealing unnecessary flaws, she chose to hide in the house all day long.
Lu Yanyue, who was going to continue to wait for the people behind Su Su to show his feet, didn't know that earth-shaking things had already happened outside, and he didn't know how much trouble he would face tomorrow......
