Chapter 583: Return
"Chu Nian, you can be regarded as here! I've been waiting until the tea is cold! β
Chu Nian smiled, and saw Mingyue come over curiously, "What did the Queen Mother say?" Does she know her father's whereabouts? β
Speaking of this, Chu Nian's eyes were slightly gloomy, seeing this, Ming Qiao also understood a lot, and his face was a little unsightly. Fastest updateββ
"The Queen Mother, this old monster, is really a hundred-legged insect that is dead but not stiff, and now she is declining, but she is still so stubborn, I don't know what she uses as confidence."
Chu Nian glanced at her sideways, then took a deep breath and said softly, "Take me to see your maid." β
This Fang Mingyue's attention was diverted, and her complexion looked a little better.
Chu Nian's master and servant followed Mingyue to the hut where the maid lived, "This girl is my personal maid, she belongs to the first-class palace maid, fortunately, she can still live in a single room, otherwise I don't know how many people she will infect with this disease." β
At the door of the hut, Mingyue took out three face coverings from her arms as she chattered, and then handed them to Chu Nian, and saw Chu Nian gently shake her head and said, "No need, she's not sick." β
When these words fell, Mingyue's face suddenly turned stunned, and then she carefully observed Chu Nian's complexion, "What do you mean...... Like you, is it poisoning? β
Chu Nian nodded slowly, this party pushed the door in, and Mingyue hurriedly followed.
In this palace, even if it is a first-class palace maid's bedroom, it is much more luxurious than the houses where the poor people live outside, so those civilians outside are scrambling to send their daughters into the palace, and even if they are a palace maid for the rest of their lives, they are enjoying the glory and wealth that ordinary people can't enjoy.
At this moment, the furnishings in this room are also very simple, a table and a few chairs, a soft couch, on the soft couch, a thick quilt is in a ball, and there seems to be a figure in the group, who is trembling.
Mingyue furrowed her brows, "Ertao, what about the person you sent to take care of you?" β
As if hearing Mingyue's voice, the second peach tried his best to squeeze his head out of the futon, a delicate little face was pale, and there was sweat on his forehead.
She forced a smile to look at Mingyue, and when she spoke, her teeth chattered.
"Princess, slave, slave and maid, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the slave to salute, slave and maid ......"
"No, I'm not such a ruthless person, and now that you're still sick, I'll let you not have to follow etiquette for the time being."
The second peach smiled gratefully, and then said softly: "The princess is very kind, the slave maid will never forget, the palace maid sent by the princess before, the slave maid was afraid that she would be sick to them, so she asked them to go down first, and the princess didn't have to worry so much about the slave and maid, the slave and maid were just a maid, how could they be called a princess......"
Mingyue seemed to be a little embarrassed to be said, she waved her hand before sitting at the table, and turned her eyes to look at Chu Nian, "Look at her state...... Is it really poisoning? β
Chu Nian twisted her brows and took a few steps forward, reached out to probe the forehead of the second peach, and it was cold in her hand, she withdrew her hand without a trace, and then nodded towards Mingyue with a solemn face.
Seeing Mingyue's eyes widen suddenly, "Didn't you say that your poison was given to you by the woman named Ah Xia before?" Why can two peaches also be poisoned? β
Hearing this, Chu Nian didn't answer Mingyue's words, just turned his eyes and looked at Er Tao with a serious face, "Have you offended anyone recently?" β
Er Tao's body shrank for a moment, and then he said while recalling: "Who did you offend...... The slave maid can't remember clearly, ah, by the way, I accompanied our princess to the palace of the concubine to pass the word for our maiden, I once saw a cook, at that time the slave maid was also fast-talking, and when I saw the woman scratching her head and making a gesture, I couldn't help it...... After that, the slave maid often felt cold in her body, and it became what it is now. β
Hearing this, Chu Nian suddenly frowned, and the cook ...... Ah Qing!
That Fang Mingyue was looking at Chu Nian suspiciously, and when she saw Chu Nian's face turned pale as if she remembered something, she immediately hurriedly walked towards the door.
Mingyue got up, "Why are you going suddenly?" β
Chu Nian's footsteps stopped, "There are some important things to find your imperial brother, by the way, if you want to go out to play, go out with Mei Xiang, and I will explain to Concubine Liang later." β
As she spoke, she looked at Mei Xiang again, "Mei Xiang, you take out some of my medicine and give it to Er Tao, be fast, otherwise it will be too late, I'm afraid that Er Tao will die." β
When she was poisoned, she only delayed a day without taking medicine, and she almost lost her life, and now Er Tao is afraid that the time of poisoning is not too late, and it can be delayed until today, maybe the dose of poison is smaller than her, but in the end it is still Er Tao's life.
Seeing that Chu Nian was panicking, Mingyue didn't stop her, when she heard that she could go out, she almost forgot about the second peach.
Mei Xiang glanced back at Er Tao, looked at Chu Nian's back worriedly, and muttered to herself: "Could it be that the one who poisoned the lady and the second peach is Ah Qing?" β
β¦β¦
In the dark cell, only the faint light of two candles dispelled the darkness, and in the shadows, a man and a woman snuggled together.
Mu Qing leaned on Chu Yuanlang's body and yawned, "When can we leave?" I'm so hungry that I want to eat my mother's noodles. β
Chu Yuanlang rubbed her head a little helplessly, "I don't know, but those few won't starve us to death after all, right?" β
But at this moment, there was a sound of screaming at the door of the cell, Chu Yuanlang raised his head with a frown, and saw a small stone smashed at his feet.
The sound outside the cell disappeared, but the small stone attracted the attention of Chu Yuanlang and Mu Qing.
Mu Qing took the lead in getting up, sat up, reached out and took off the note tied to the small stone, and when he saw the string of small words, he suddenly returned to the place like a deflated ball.
Seeing this, Chu Yuanlang took the note from her hand with a little curiosity, and immediately frowned.
"They can't eat what they deliver, and they want us to pretend we're cold? What kind of medicine is sold in the third sister's gourd? β
"The ghost knows what Chu Nian has in his head, now it's okay, anyway, at least until tomorrow, we won't be able to eat."
Mu Qing almost wailed, in order to hurry, she could only eat dry food all the way, not to mention, she finally got home soon, and she had to cooperate with a group of kidnappers to arrest them, and now she can't eat, if she waits for Chu Nian's dead girl, she will definitely have a big meal!
β¦β¦
Chu Nian guessed correctly, at night, Dark Er sent Chu Yuanlang, who had been trembling, home, and as soon as he entered the Chu family, Chu Yuanlang, who was originally full of weakness, suddenly jumped alive.
"Sister!" For a period of time, Chu Yuanlang seemed to have grown a little taller, almost taller than Chu Nian, and his face became more and more vicissitudes, and at this moment, he hugged Chu Nian in his arms, but he was like an elder brother, hugging his sister.
Chu Nian pushed Chu Yuanlang away a little helplessly, "It's so big, you should know how to avoid suspicion." β
Chu Yuanlang looked at Chu Nian aggrievedly, "Sister, I have been tired all the way, and I have to cooperate with you in acting, but now I can't hug me, far away in the military camp, my brother misses the most, but only my sister is alone." β
Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, but the corners of his mouth rose a little inexplicably, "You kid, your mouth is sweeter." β
Hearing this, Chu Yuanlang suddenly grinned, and just opened his arms again, and a deep voice came from behind him, "Yuanlang has grown taller, and it is time to marry a wife." β
The two sisters and brothers turned around, and saw a slender figure walking in along the door, although their faces were still cold, but there was a little smile in the corners of their eyes.
Chu Yuanlang, who was here partially, blushed, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Ming Xiu nodded, then turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and when he saw the light clothes on Chu Nian's body, he frowned.
"Why are you dressed so thinly and not cold at night?"
Chu Nian took a deep breath and shook his head gently, "What's the movement on the Queen Mother's side?" β
Ming Xiu frowned and didn't answer her words, but Chu Yuanlang was curious: "Sister, what are you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planning?" Why did you ask us to play this play? β
Seeing that Chu Nian only shook his head slightly, under the moonlight, a small face was as white as paper.
"Don't worry about this matter, I have already sent the news to A-Qing, don't go out these days, stay in the yard honestly, don't go anywhere, wait a few days, and the matter will be resolved."
Seeing Mei Xiang walk in, Chu Niancai pushed Chu Yuanlang, "I ordered the kitchen to prepare some delicious meals, you go eat some, and then have a good rest." β
As she spoke, she glanced at Mei Xiang, and saw Mei Xiang step forward and said respectfully: "Yuan Lang, please come here." β
Although Chu Yuanlang still had some doubts, it could be seen that Chu Nian's attitude was firm, so he had to nod helplessly, "Okay, then sister should also pay attention to her body." β
Seeing that Chu Nian nodded and agreed, Chu Yuanlang left with Mei Xiang.
After Chu Yuanlang left, Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at Ming Xiu, and saw Ming Xiu twist his brows and step forward, took off his robe, and draped it on Chu Nian's body, and then said with a serious expression: "The cook stayed in Cining Palace until midnight before leaving, it is said that after she left, the Queen Mother's complexion was obviously much better, but I don't know what they said." β
Chu Nian pondered for a while before he said: "The Queen Mother must know the whereabouts of the emperor, but I think it will take a few days before I can let go, and today I will go, but the old fox will ......."
"It's okay." Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, "Now I don't dare to do anything to my father, after all, my father is the last bargaining chip for him." β
Chu Nian nodded slowly, and saw Ming Xiu hand the warm tea on the side to her, and when the warm tea was entered, Chu Nian's pale face was only a little ruddy.
I saw Ming Xiu speak again: "How is the antidote of the Medicine King being studied now?" β
Chu Nian twisted his eyebrows, "There is no news yet, Lord Medical God said that he would have to try a few more medicinal herbs before he could make it." β
As she spoke, she was silent for a moment, then burst into a smile, "Now, I'm holding you back." β
Ming Xiu shook his head helplessly, and reached out to pinch Chu Nian's cold little hand, "It's me who dragged you down." β
Chu Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the two hands that were entangled, and did not speak, but at this time, his body fell into a generous embrace, and he could hear Ming Xiu, who was on the top, said in a muffled voice: "If you encounter this situation again in the future...... No, it won't happen again. β
When these words fell, Chu Nian suddenly became interested, she raised her head and looked at Ming Xiu suspiciously, "You say, what do you want me to do." β
Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips, and was silent for a while, before his thin lips opened lightly, "On that day, were you worried about the child that Ah Xia said?" β
Chu Nian's face was stunned, and after a while, his eyes flashed slightly.
