Chapter 128: Escape
"Please let my mother go." Mingyue bowed deeply towards Chu Nian, she knew that she and her mother concubine would not be able to fight Chu Nian, otherwise they would not have folded in Chu Nian's hands again and again, but she also understood better that they were born to stand on opposite sides, and about this, it is also a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.
Concubine Liang can't get rid of King Huainan, since the moment she entered the palace, she was destined to choose a camp between the Queen Mother and King Huainan, and Concubine Liang was loyal to King Huainan from the beginning, after all, Concubine Liang also understood that people like her who were stuffed to the Queen Mother as an enemy from the beginning, even if the Queen Mother liked it, she would not fully trust it.
Chu Nian can probably understand the reason why she wants to attack the queen, as long as the queen dies and the harem has no owner, Ming Xiu and King Huainan will definitely not let go of this opportunity to send their own people to take over the harem, and the queen mother will never allow Ming Xiu and King Huainan to ride on her head and, and will inevitably rush to choose a queen who can be used by her.
But because of the events of that year, among the harem concubines, the queen mother was offended all over again, who could help her?
But if Concubine Liang shows her loyalty with Mingyue at this time, with the character of the Queen Mother, even if she is a person who is obedient to her on the surface, at such a crisis point, maybe the Queen Mother will really reuse Concubine Liang.
And what Concubine Liang covets, from beginning to end, is only that posterior.
Sure enough, woman...... Why bother to do all your best just for the favor of a man, and even that man didn't look at her with a straight eye from beginning to end, even a glance.
A trace of sourness rose inexplicably in Chu Nian's heart, she glanced at Mingyue with a detached gaze, and then said indifferently: "You go back, it's too late, Concubine Liang will be worried." ”
Mingyue looked at Chu Nian and turned around indifferently, her heart was half cold, and she said hurriedly: "Chu Nian, what if I can save the queen." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mingyue happily looked at Chu Nian's back where he was, "If I can save the queen mother and make up for the mistake made by my mother, will you let our mother and daughter go at the last moment?" ”
Chu Nian turned his head and looked at Mingyue with an inquiring gaze, but he simply threatened a few words, how could Mingyue, who was once smart and arrogant, be so determined, their mother and daughter couldn't win against her?
Seeing Chu Nian's suspicious look, Mingyue's face became more and more sincere, "Not only that, if I know what my mother's plans are in the future, I will tell you as soon as possible, okay?" ”
Chu Nian frowned, it was undeniable, she was indeed a little worried about the queen's death, it was just because of the queen's gentleness on weekdays, although the queen didn't want her to get too close to Ming Xiu, but she did regard her as her own daughter.
Not to mention anything else, the mother of a country saw a little county lord of the opposite sex, even if the cold greeting was pretended, but the peace charm made for Chu Nian was not fake.
Thinking of the peace charm that the queen stuffed into her hand at the time of parting in the afternoon, Chu Nian accidentally touched the thousands of holes in the palm of the hand that was deliberately hidden by the queen, and Chu Nian couldn't help but clench the cuffs.
How could she bear to tell Ming Xiu that his mother didn't want them to be together from the beginning?
Seeing that Chu Nian was silent for a long time, Mingyue thought that the conditions she had offered were not enough, so her voice also burst into tears: "There is only so much I can do......"
Chu Nian came back to his senses, looked at the bright moon crying in front of his eyes, and suddenly understood the mood of a daughter who loved her mother.
Anyway, since the queen doesn't want her to get along with her as a daughter-in-law, she will do so as a daughter...... Chu Nian thought of his mother who was killed by the officers and soldiers who came to raid the house in order to protect their family, and his eyes were soft.
"Okay."
Mingyue's face was overjoyed, and she saw Chu Nian's figure walking towards the outside of the palace without hesitation, she breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had made a huge determination, and turned around and left.
……
There was still a headache attack at night, and Chu Nian looked at the gloomy surroundings with confused eyes, but there was no one in sight.
Zhu's mother asked for family leave, Mei Xiang was also driven away by her to go on a date with Dark San, Auntie lived in a wing room separated by two rooms, and Dark One was sent to Mu Qing's house, and there was only one Dark Two left, and he was also driven to watch Xiao Chen.
After all, he hadn't had a headache for several days, and Chu Nian realized for the first time how important it was to have someone around him to take care of.
"Water, water......" Chu Nian opened his eyes, and in the darkness in front of him, the outline of various things was only a phantom.
Her throat was itchy and dry, and she got up on the bed, but her headache was so bad that she didn't have any strength in her body.
Falling on the cold ground in embarrassment, Chu Nian put her headache forehead on the cold, and finally felt better, she propped herself up and staggered to the edge of the dark table, obviously touched the tea cup, but failed to hold it, and for a while, Mei Xiang's newly added tea set shattered to the ground.
Secretly scolded, Chu Nian picked up the only remaining teapot on the side and poured all the water into her mouth, but because of the instability of her subordinates, the cold tea was sprinkled all over her body, she didn't care, she staggered back to the couch, her eyes swept over the table in front of the window, there was a small porcelain vase there, faintly exuding the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Chu Nian was distracted, and suddenly felt a pain under his feet, it was a tea cup that had just been broken, and the fragments of porcelain were broken everywhere, and it was understandable that Chu Nian couldn't see it.
She subconsciously closed her eyes and gasped, and the restless rhinoceros in her brain began to rampage again.
Fortunately, no one can see her embarrassed appearance now, Chu Nian smiled bitterly and lowered his head, but his eyes were also dry.
She opened her mouth and wanted to call someone over, but her voice was already hoarse because of thirst.
It was only at this time that Chu Nian realized that his inexplicable headache was accompanied by a low-grade fever, as if he was infected with wind cold, but it was much more serious than wind cold, but at least it was not contagious.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, otherwise the first person to be infected would inevitably be Ming Xiu.
Thinking of Ming Xiu, the pain in Chu Nian's brain became more and more obvious, even overshadowing the deep pain of the porcelain fragments under her feet, and she gritted her teeth.
Chu Nian, what are you doing! And no one cares, and no one pays attention to you...... Chu Nian finally sat on the edge of the couch, bent down, felt the piece of porcelain that was deep in the flesh and blood, and pulled it out fiercely.
The teeth were almost crushed, Chu Nian looked at the blood all over the ground and was silent, and a voice in her head told her that now that it hurts so much, she must take medicine, otherwise she will be stupid tomorrow morning.
But Chu Nian remembered that Ming Xiu and Xi Chu Yue Ling were intimate, Ming Yue was right, the two were indeed a good match, Xi Chu Yue Ling was beautiful and smart, and she was also atmospheric, and more importantly, she was also a prince, in a way, maybe she knew Ming Xiu better.
What about Chu Nian?
She is just the third lady of Ninghou Mansion in a small town, and even the queen doesn't want her to be too close to Ming Xiu......
It would be nice if she was still Su Nian, Su Nian would not suffer so much for a man.
Chu Nian frowned, this feeling of caring about someone really made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
She shook her head, trying to throw Ming Xiu out of her head with the rhinoceros that was rampaging in her head, but when she shook it like this, it hurt as if someone had pricked her in her head, and Chu Nian's eyes turned red, and she burst into tears.
What the hell is going on with this headache! Could it be that the original Chu Nian had his own illness? But why can't even Grandma find out anything? Could it be that she really wants to rely on the medicine that Ming Xiu brought to spend her life?
She didn't want to use it, she didn't want to use anything that Ming Xiu brought in the future, between them, there should have been only interests and no feelings, but he had to add an extra layer of flashy things on top of this layer of interests, in the end......
Chu Nian smiled bitterly, nothing in the end, between them, there can only be interests, and people and relationships other than interests are burdens on the way forward.
For a moment, Chu Nian looked at the blood flowing on the ground, as if he remembered the corpses of wolves on the ground that day in the royal hunting ground.
At that time, the handsome figure fell from the sky, and at that second, what was she thinking?
Chu Nian couldn't remember, she only remembered that she had relied on and a sense of security since then, and she never believed in these flashy things when she was Su Nian.
Su Nian, Su Nian, you also have such a day.
"Su Nian", who was already Chu Nian, lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, still in pain in his head.
If she could, she really didn't want to fall into it......
Xu is loneliness in response, and the pain in Chu Nian's brain became clearer and clearer, and finally made her forget her sigh and fall into a pain that seemed to be endless.
Half dreaming and half waking up, Chu Nian seemed to lie in an arms stained with the fragrance of lotus flowers, she knew that this was a dream, but this dream made people's hearts want to cry sadly.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Nian saw Mei Xiang's red and swollen eyes, she frowned and left the cold towel on her head, "Mei Xiang." ”
Hearing Chu Nian's voice, Mei Xiang suddenly withdrew from her busyness, she stepped forward and gently stroked the water droplets in front of Chu Nian's forehead, her eyes were full of shame.
"Lady, are you better?"
Chu Nian nodded, she didn't want to worry too much about herself, after all, she was the one who withdrew everyone last night, even if she almost fainted in pain, she caused it herself.
"Don't worry."
She looked back as if she remembered something, and her pale little face was finally stained with a trace of blood, and she smiled a little playfully: "How is it?" Can the dark three serve you well? ”
Mei Xiang glared with red eyes and glared at Chu Nian, who was clearly too weak to sit up, but still teased herself: "Lady! We didn't ...... anything," Mei Xiang's little face was unconsciously dyed a little red, "Last night was a dereliction of duty by the slave maid, and I hope the lady will punish her." ”
The little face almost went to the ground with guilt, and the worry on the little face was not hidden, Chu Nian shook his head to show that he didn't care, and saw Mei Xiang pick up the medicine bowl on the side and send it to Chu Nian's mouth.
"Lady, your highness came down last night, and said that he took it away for a few days and returned it to the lady in a few days."
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, but his heart was not a taste, he really came last night?
Suppressing the inexplicable snickering joy in his heart, Chu Nian said indifferently: "Hmm." Don't worry about the dark three, he won't do anything to the dark three. ”
Mei Xiang smiled, "The person Your Highness should punish is a slave. ”
Chu Nian felt a little guilty, if it weren't for her stubbornness and refusal to take medicine last night, Dark San would not have been punished by Ming Xiu, Chu Nian's eyes seemed to flash with anger and faint distress in Ming Xiu's eyes, she frowned, undeniable, took the potion handed over by Mei Xiang and drank it all.
……
In the afternoon, Chu Nian felt that he was almost finished, so he ignored Mei Xiang's obstruction and walked out of Chu's house, straight through the downtown area, and headed towards the Walnut Tavern.
She had too many questions to ask Tao Jinyan clearly, these days have been delayed by the affairs of the palace for too long, she almost forgot the idea of planning to "reconcile" with Tao Jinyan.
The city is still buzzing with people, but for some reason, there seem to be a lot of people on the streets today.
Chu Nian frowned and avoided a man who was squeezing towards her, and when she looked up, she saw a handsome rich boy brother, carefully protecting a beautiful and moving woman in front of her.
Chu Nian's face was stunned, those two people, wasn't it Ming Xiu who secretly came to visit her last night, and Xi Chu Yueling, who had always looked down on her?
After a pause, Chu Nian subconsciously wanted to hide in the crowd, but it seemed to be too late.
A crisp female voice came from behind him: "County Lord, since you have encountered it, why do you want to hide?" ”
