737th Storyteller
"What are you thinking about if you don't sleep so late?"
Chu Xu pushed the wheelchair slowly, and without Lao Pei by his side, his pushing speed was slower.
The wheels pressed against the snow and made marks, neither shallow nor deep.
"Why hasn't Your Highness slept yet?"
Seeing Chu Xu, Red Sleeves raised his eyebrows, with some surprise in his eyes.
"Tomorrow is the death day of His Royal Highness's mother, and I can't sleep when I think of the past."
Chu Xu paused, and then continued.
"I thought about going out for a walk, but I didn't expect to see a figure not far away and came over to take a look."
The red sleeves looked Chu Xu up and down, as weak as a powerless little boy.
But such a person has a deep city and a heavy scheming.
He looked harmless, but when he thought of such a force behind him, Redsleeves no longer felt harmless about the person in front of him.
Xiao Changge is right, you can't just look at the surface of things, and you can't just believe what you see with your eyes.
Red Sleeves came back to his senses and only felt ridiculous.
She was abandoned by Xiao Changge, and she was still thinking about what she had said.
Ridiculous, ridiculous.
"Since His Highness is distracted, why don't you accompany the red sleeves?"
As he spoke, without waiting for Chu Xu to answer, Red Sleeves had already walked behind Chu Xu and took over what Lao Pei usually did.
"It's also something to look at the girl with red sleeves, so it's good to take a break together."
Chu Xu did not refuse, but invited Red Sleeves to take a walk together.
"The big night of relaxation, only your Highness."
Red Sleeves said slowly, the two talked like old friends, but they had their own ghosts.
"Isn't the red-sleeved girl too?"
Chu Xu asked rhetorically, and the two of them laughed together.
Laughter echoed in the courtyard, and the snow was still falling.
"There has been no one in this temple for a long time, and His Royal Highness has only left two maids here to clean the yard once a year, and now there is a red-sleeved girl as a companion, and the temple is a lot lively."
Chu Xu lamented that there has been no new incense in the temple and it has gradually decayed, and it is only because Emperor Chu has been on a tour once that the temple can remain to this day.
And no one else had been here for a few miles but him, and it seemed cold and silent.
"Your Highness laughed, if it weren't for Your Highness, Red Sleeves wouldn't be here."
Red Sleeves said slowly, grateful to Chu Xu.
This life was saved by Chu Xu.
"Seeing that the girl with red sleeves has been holding the hairpin just now, does that hairpin have any other meaning for you?"
"If the red-sleeved girl doesn't want to answer, His Highness is not reluctant, just curious."
Chu Xu hurriedly added, for fear that Red Sleeves would mind.
He was sure that the hairpin meant a lot to Red Sleeves, but what kind of person gave it that caused Red Sleeves to care so much?
A touch of coldness flashed in Red Sleeves' eyes, and he snorted lightly.
"I'm sorry."
A word of apology blocked Chu Xu's doubts to death.
"It's His Royal Highness who has overstepped it, what did the red-sleeved girl say sorry?"
Chu Xu hurriedly said, and stopped mentioning the hairpin.
Red Sleeves was surprised, she thought that many princes were the same except for Chu Yu, but she didn't think that Chu Xu was also broad-minded.
Knowing that she is a maid but still treating her politely, there are not many people who can do this.
"What about Your Highness? Why is His Royal Highness's mother buried here, and why did she pass away? ”
Red sleeves puzzled, the general concubine immortal death spirit card should be placed in the palace, although you can't enter the royal ancestral hall but you can enter the small ancestral hall, only Chu Xu's mother is outside, and she is buried on this Chi Yao Mountain.
Chu Xu's expression changed, and he said calmly, "His Royal Highness's mother's concubine is called Yunxi, her surname is Zhang, my grandfather was framed for rebellion, and my mother took into account the feelings of her family to intercede with the emperor, who knew that the emperor was furious and thought that the mother concubine was also involved, so he sent the mother concubine into the cold palace." ”
"Later, due to the illness of His Royal Highness's mother, the plague was prevalent at that time, and the queen instigated Emperor Chu to order His Royal Highness's mother to be sent out of the palace and came to this Chi Yao Mountain."
"In Chi Yao Mountain, His Royal Highness's mother concubine's body has improved, but the root of the disease, the queen has visited Chi Yao Mountain, and His Royal Highness's mother concubine lingered overnight, and then His Royal Highness's mother passed away, and when he gave birth to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness's mother passed away."
Chu Xu said, Red Sleeves as if listening.
She didn't expect Chu Xu to tell all the previous things, and these things were still private matters in the palace.
But Chu Xu said it plainly, as if he didn't care about himself.
It's like a storyteller, talking about something that has nothing to do with him.
"Later, His Royal Highness was admitted to the palace and His Royal Highness's mother was buried here."
Chu Xu said, his tone was not shocked.
For him, those things were in the past, and they couldn't be changed no matter what they said.
The past cannot be put on the table, and it can only be talked about as commonplace as it is now.
"It's useless to talk too much about the past, His Royal Highness is nagging today, and I hope the red sleeves don't mind."
Chu Xu apologized, and Red Sleeves' impression of Chu Xu changed little by little.
Concubine Xi is not favored, not long after entering the palace, she got sick and sent Chi Yaoshan to come, and her position in the harem is not high, plus her mother's family was framed for rebellion and was implicated, it doesn't matter if you can't enter the palace after death, after all, who cares about a concubine who is not favored? And a dead man.
Fortunately, Chu Xu is luckier than others, and he is lucky to be born safely.
If Concubine Xi was in the palace, there might not be the current Chu Xu.
"Your Highness wants to say these things, how can the red sleeves mind, but the red sleeves don't make His Highness think of the past again."
Red Sleeves apologized, and Chu Xu sneered.
This gentle appearance is somewhat similar to Chu Yu, but no matter how similar the person is, it can't be him.
"What's this? Isn't His Highness alive and well now? ”
Redsleeves was silent.
"Although His Highness relied on his natural disability to let his brothers relax their vigilance, he still had to rely on himself to protect himself."
Chu Xu looked down at his legs, and he still had a blanket on his knees for fear of frostbite from the cold winter.
"There is still a question about Red Sleeves, why did Your Highness save me, I am Xiao Changge's maid."
Red Sleeves was puzzled and asked, although Chu Xu saved her for a purpose, what could she make Chu Xu like as a maid?
She didn't believe Chu Xu because she liked her.
And she and Chu Xu have never officially met, how can he know her?
"You used to be Xiao Changge's maid, but now you're not."
Chu Xu corrected, and the red sleeves pursed his lips.
Reality hit her hard.
"Your Highness saved you because your character was appreciated by Your Highness, the red-sleeved girl shouldn't have forgotten when Princess Yongshuo returned to the palace when you went to the palace with the fourth prince, right? His Royal Highness thought that the palace was simmering and went out for a walk, what do you guess His Highness saw? ”
Chu Xu pushed the wheelchair around and looked up at the red sleeves.
The corners of his mouth turned into a smile and asked.
The red sleeves squinted, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and his eyes reflected Chu Xu's appearance.
"I see, it seems that if it weren't for that time, His Highness wouldn't have come to the rescue, right?"
The red sleeves trembled slightly, and the sleeves covered the small mouth that was frozen white.
There was only her laughter in the courtyard, and the laughter was loud but crisp.
"Yes, His Highness doesn't save the weak."
Chu Xu didn't beat around the bush with Red Sleeves, if it weren't for that scene, his carriage would definitely run over her corpse, and he didn't need those palanquin men to make a move.
"Then the two choices given by His Royal Highness, what would happen if Red Sleeves chose to spend it in Chi Yao Mountain? What if you choose to go home with Your Highness? ”
Red Sleeves asked with interest, I didn't think anyone would see it that day, and I need to be careful in the future.
"Since you choose to be an ordinary person in Chi Yao Mountain, stay away from strife, Your Highness will not force you to do anything, if you go back to your home with Your Highness, Your Highness will plan for you what you want."
Chu Xu observed the expression of the red sleeves, and when he saw a flash of excitement in her eyes, he was surprised, and thought that he had seen it wrong.
"Plotting for me? Whatever I do, can I do it? ”
The corners of Redsleeve's mouth raised a smile and asked.
She was moved by this condition.
She has been serving others all her life as someone else's dog, and in the end she was abandoned by her owner, which is ridiculous to think about.
"Yes, of course, it depends on whether you have the ability or not."
Chu Xu nodded in agreement.
More than anyone else, he expected what Red Sleeves would do.
If you know Xiao Changge best, it should be the red sleeves who have been by her side for the longest time.
has been dependent on her since he was a child, and if he can let Red Sleeves deal with Xiao Changge, he will save a lot of effort.
A Xiao Changge can make Chu Yan look like a thorn in his side, and he has to guard against it.
Hearing Red Sleeves ask this, she knew her choice.
It would be a waste for such a person to be on Chi Yao Mountain, and if she chose to be on Chi Yao Mountain, he would only be disappointed in her.
"I'll go back with you, but I want Jiang Susu to die, and I want Xiao Changge to die!"
There was a strange light in his dark eyes, with a vicious spiciness.
The voice was sharp, and there was hatred in the words that could not be concealed.
Since Xiao Changge wants to put her to death, then she must fight back.
Even if it's death, you have to pull her on your back.
God has mercy on her and will not die, so he will definitely protect her!
Red Sleeves remembered what Xiao Changge had said before, if you want to live, you must sacrifice others, you must be cruel to others.
She wanted to live, and for the first time she had such thoughts.
"It's such a look, but remember to restrain it, and making people perceive their hostility is undoubtedly exposing themselves."
As soon as the words fell, Red Sleeves looked at Chu Xu with a smile on his face.
"That's what Your Highness said."
The red sleeves bowed, and Chu Xu was surprised or surprised.
In the blink of an eye, she put away her hatred, and she really couldn't underestimate her.
How could Xiao Changge raise such a person by his side, it was simply overkill.
"Go back, it's going to be dawn."
Chu Xu looked up at the half-bright sky, and pushed the wheelchair around Red Sleeves.
Looking at the back of Chu Xu leaving, there was a coldness in her eyes.
Looking up, the snow was falling slowly, freezing cold.
In the past, she felt cold without food or clothing, but she gritted her teeth and passed, but now she has clothes and food in winter, but she feels colder than ever.
Cold, cold into the bone marrow.
Redsleeves crossed his arms and stepped back into the snow.
Everything around her was no longer a familiar yard, everything was unfamiliar, including herself.
Xiao Changge tossed and turned, sleepless all night.
Thinking about what Chu Mo said, on the contrary, Chu Yu fell asleep.
What Chu Mo said didn't make sense, and she didn't know the strength behind Chu Yu, and she was below in this transaction.
