Chapter 81: Sui Feng's Explanation
It's you. Sui Feng's tone softened.
Xu Zhaohua had an illusion, she always felt that Sui Feng had a shallow hidden pampering in her eyes, and after thinking about it, she felt that it was definitely impossible, she didn't have much intersection with Sui Feng.
"How do you say that?" asked Xu Zhaohua.
Sui Feng didn't answer her question directly, changed the topic to another place, and asked her if the person who came to his side hall last night was her, Xu Zhaohua denied unnecessary trouble.
Sui Feng grabbed her wrist and asked, "Then what's the matter with the injury on your wrist, I remember that I accidentally scratched the wrist of the person who came to my side hall last night."
Xu Zhaohua pulled his wrist out of his palm: "Lord Feng, I'm afraid you're too careful, I explained this morning that the injury on my wrist was accidentally cut when pruning the flower branches."
Sui Feng grabbed the empty palm and smiled, anyway, no matter how she explained, he always believed that person was her.
"Oh~" Sui Feng looked at her playfully: "Don't discuss it at this time, now you and I will discuss what is the purpose of your masquerade sneaking into Daxing Palace?"
Xu Zhaohua found that the matter might be about to be exposed at this point, if Sui Feng and her were on the same front, it would be easy to say, but now he is like a person with a veil, so that she can't see through and guess, and she can't explain her true purpose to her now.
That's it.
"Back to the prince, didn't the old lady tell you?" Xu Zhaohua asked innocently.
Sui Feng was puzzled, what did her entry into the palace maid of Daxing Palace have to do with her mother, who has never asked about these things.
"The old lady found that Wang Shang had hardly shown up recently, and felt that there must be something strange in this, so she specially sent a slave maid to inquire about the news," Xu Zhaohua continued.
Sui Feng thought that his mother had hinted at this matter with him intentionally or unintentionally a few days ago, and Xu is mother couldn't make sure that Brother Wang had a bad time, so she specially sent Zhao Ye to find out the news.
Although there were still some doubts about her statement in his heart, Sui Feng still tried his best to convince himself to believe her, he felt how his different thoughts and practices came about now.
I'm afraid that my heart has been captured by this woman.
Xu Zhaohua didn't have the heart to guess Sui Feng's inner thoughts at this moment, she only thought about discussing with Aunt Shen how to hide from Sui Feng, but would Aunt Shen agree to deceive her biological son with her? It seems that this will have to be discussed with her.
"If the prince has nothing else to do, the slave and maid will retire first." Without waiting for Sui Feng to speak, Xu Zhaohua gave a salute and turned to leave, his tone, demeanor, and etiquette were very thoughtful, so that people could not find flaws.
Sui Feng stayed where he was, looking at Xu Zhaohua's distant back, without words or action, and just watched her leave quietly.
Xu Zhaohua, who walked around the corner, looked at the situation in the woods and found that Sui Feng was still standing in place, she felt that now was the perfect time to discuss things with the concubine, as for going to the imperial garden to find soil, put it aside for the time being.
Entering the Fu'an Palace, in order to save time, she walked straight into the old lady's main hall, outside the door to give the old lady medicine to go in, Liu Nushi was a little surprised to see Xu Zhaohua come back in such a hurry, although everyone said that she stole something and didn't know what hand to use to escape from the palace, but with her understanding of Xu Zhaohua on weekdays, she would never be able to do such a stupid thing because of a little money when she entered the Daduan Palace, she is a smart person.
Now seeing that she came over in such a hurry, Lady Liu was afraid that others would find out that she was still in the palace, so she looked around, so everyone went to busy with their own affairs at this hour, and no one saw the situation here.
Xu Zhaohua didn't expect to meet Female Master Liu, his pace slowed down, and he didn't know what Female Master Liu would do next, but fortunately, Female Master Liu didn't call someone, but dragged the entire tray with his other hand and beckoned to her with a free hand, signaling her to hurry over.
"Come in, the old lady is here." A short sentence is enough to show her position.
Xu Zhaohua nodded, and quickly stepped into the main hall, and Female Master Liu followed behind and closed the door.
Neither of them noticed Rong'er hiding behind a tree not far away.
After entering the store, the old lady was eating snacks on the chair, and she was really surprised to see that the first person to come in was not Female Teacher Liu, but Xu Zhaohua, and realized that Xu Zhaohua might have something to say to her, and immediately raised her spirits.
After Lady Liu put down the medicinal soup, she left the house very interestingly, she had realized that the relationship between the old lady and Xu Zhaohua was extraordinary, but it was not easy for them to ask about the master's affairs, let alone inquire, and An An did what she had to do is the most important thing.
Anfen is the only rule of survival in this Daduan Palace, Female Master Liu has always believed in this truth since the incident many years ago, and after stepping out of the door of the main hall, she fell into memories.
"Queen Mother, ...... you" The old lady stood up and was about to salute, but was helped by Xu Zhaohua.
"Aunt Shen, why are you so polite." Xu Zhaohua pretended to blame.
"Hey, Zhaohua, after all, now you are the queen of Dongqi, and I have the blood of Dongqi on my body, so it stands to reason that I should give you a big gift." The old lady was a little embarrassed.
Xu Zhaohua took the old lady's hand and patted her to show that she didn't have to, and then helped her to the chair and sat down, and he sat on the chair on the other side.
"Aunt Shen, I just met Lord Feng"
"Feng'er?"
Xu Zhaohua nodded: "He found out my true identity." β
The old lady was stunned: "True identity refers to your identity as the Empress of Eastern Qi?" β
Xu Zhaohua shook his head: "No, it was me who sneaked into Daxing Palace in disguise, and he found out that I was Zhao Ye, who had been on an errand in Fu'an Palace, and ...... And I think my true identity will be discovered by him soon. β
Xu Zhaohua looked at the old concubine's eyes: "Therefore, when he questioned me just now, I explained to him that it was Aunt Shen that you noticed Sui Yue's strangeness and specially sent me to Daxing Palace to investigate, in order not to expose this matter, I also need Aunt Shen You can solve this panic with me together." β
The old lady thought for a moment, on the one hand, she was the daughter of her friend, Zhaohua, who grew up watching from a young age, the queen of the world of Dongqi's mother, and on the other hand, her own son, she was really a little embarrassed.
"Zhaohua, in fact, I have noticed from Feng'er's tone in the past few days that he seems to have long been suspicious of Sui Yue's eccentricity, so it is better to tell Feng'er about it, and we have also got an arm. Besides, I know Feng'er's temperament very well. β
After listening to the old lady's words, Xu Zhaohua deduced that she must not know the relationship between the little palace maid who died in Xiaolin some time ago and Sui Feng, and even her death may have a close relationship with Sui Feng.
Thinking of Sui Feng's abnormality last night, she felt that Aunt Shen might not know yet, and if she knew, she would definitely take care of him in time:
"Aunt Shen, there's one thing I don't think you ...... yet."
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and the person who came was Sui Feng.
"Mother, there is something that the retainer wants to ask......
Sui Feng also paused when he spoke, he never expected that Xu Zhaohua would sit here at this time, and he would sit in the same row as his mother and friends, you must know that this position used to be only available to his father when he came to the dormitory, and then it was a position that could only be done by concubines with a higher rank than his mother, so why would she sit here now.
Xu Zhaohua saw Sui Feng's question, and nodded to the old lady on the side, and the old lady immediately understood that she agreed to her proposal to tell Feng'er about the matter.
"Feng'er, this is the daughter of the concubine's friend, the daughter of your Aunt Su, Sister Zhaohua, who I often mentioned to you before, but you can't call her sister now." The old lady got up and stood in front of Sui Feng and said.
"Zhaohua? Since you don't call her sister, what's her name? Sui Feng was puzzled, he did often hear his mother mention Aunt Su when he was young, but that was a long time ago, he only knew that his mother and her two sisters had a deep relationship, and the rest was unknown.
"Shout, Queen Mother, in this case, you must meet with the etiquette of meeting the queen of another country." The old lady said.
The Queen? Zhaohua, Zhaohua? Zhaohua ......
The queen of Eastern Qi, Zhou Shengcuobai's wife, he remembered this name, he had only heard that the queen of the Eastern Qi Kingdom was not only handsome, but also intelligent, but he heard of the deeds, she Ruhe brought down the concubine and concubine daughter of his brother who harmed himself and her mother, and her brother, and also discovered the conspiracy of his biological father Xu Qingshan, so he asked to sever the father-daughter relationship with him, but because of the ethics of Gangchang was rejected by Zhou Shengcuobai.
She is married and is the queen. Still, it's fine.
This woman is much more than she seems on the surface.
"Daduan Guo Sui Yue visited the Empress of Eastern Qi, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." Sui Feng gave Xu Zhaohua a big gift in the most standard way of seeing the queens of other countries.
Xu Zhaohua, who was sitting on the chair, had the majesty of the queen at this time, although she was wearing coarse cloth, but there was a sense of dignity on her body, and at this moment she was the queen of the Eastern Qi Kingdom.
"Get up." Xu Zhaohua said.
After getting up, Sui Feng looked at Xu Zhaohua's eyes, he had thought that Zhao Ye was not simple, different from ordinary daughters...... Oh no, it should be Xu Zhaohua now, he never thought that she would be the queen of the Eastern Qi Kingdom.
Afterwards, Xu Zhaohua and the old concubine talked about their recent plans and conjectures, and Xu Zhaohua also told Huo Yanhua's strangeness and the news that he wanted Xiao Su to investigate Chu Chenlu.
Sui Feng fell into deep thought for a long time after hearing this.
"I didn't expect to bring out so many conspiracies and people, I thought it was just that the emperor's recent weirdness might be related to the Xianyue beside him, but I didn't expect it to be related to Sui Chen." Sui Feng muttered to himself.
Xu Zhaohua on the side heard that he also suspected that Sui Yue had a problem, and thought of that time, Chu Chenlu said that Sui Feng would visit Daxing Palace every once in a while, and Sui Yue suddenly had an answer in his heart.
It turned out that he had already started to act.
"What are we going to do next?" Sui Feng asked.
Xu Zhaohua and the old lady looked at each other and smiled, but there was one thing that was still faintly pressing on Xu Zhaohua's heart.
"Lord Feng, to be honest, when I first entered the palace some time ago, I saw you and a palace maid in the woods, and that palace maid ...... the next day."
Xu Zhaohua didn't say any more, she looked at Sui Feng's reaction.
Sui Feng was really stunned for a moment: "That palace maid...... She, she has repeatedly entangled this king, although this king is a little suave on weekdays, but it is not just a small palace maid who can covet the king's stunning beauty. β
Saying that, Sui Feng took the opportunity to touch his face, and returned to that graceful appearance, but Xu Zhaohua knew that this was not his original face, if he could hide it like this, it would mean that there were ghosts in it.
If he doesn't want to say it now, then he won't ask, maybe he will say it himself in the future.
"She was killed the next day, and the king was also surprised, but it was a pity for this daughter's family at a good time." said with a particularly regretful look.
Xu Zhaohua nodded pretending to believe, but he clearly saw a hint of dodging in Sui Feng's eyes.
Sui Feng may have deliberately diverted the topic with some weakness: "Xiao Ye..... Queen Mother, you just said that Xiao Su was sent by you to investigate something related to Chu Chenlu, Xiao Su also knows your identity, and what does this matter and Chu Chenlu have to do with this matter? β
Xu Zhaohua told Xiao Su about it, told Sui Chen that he could contact Xiao Su if there was anything in the future, and also said that he had observed that Chu Chenlu and Sui Yue's relationship was extraordinary.
Sui Feng has a lot of contact with Chu Chenlu, he feels that this Chu Chenlu is very safe in doing things, and the rejection of people is also very appropriate, and the rejection of him several times has made him unable to find other reasons to refute her, as for her relationship with Sui Yue, there are also many old palace people in the palace who know that the two grew up as childhood sweethearts, but because of Chu Chenlu's status and status, Sui Yue cannot give her the position of queen, and she is unwilling to be only a concubine, and she is only willing to accompany him as a palace maid.
Not many people know these things, and he also knew it because he used to play with Sui Yue often when he was young.
Xu Zhaohua had originally mentioned these things to Chu Chenlu, but she was not sure, but now Sui Feng's narration made her thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the whole thing.
"Then Lord Feng, what do you think made Chu Chenlu willingly help Sui Chen control Sui Yue? Was Chu Chenlu threatened? From what I've seen of her, she doesn't look like the kind of person who would be threatened. β
"I think so too, as for the specific reason, we will not be able to know until Xiao Xu finds out the news." Sui Feng said.
"Xiao Xu's real name is Xiao Xu." She told the story of Xiao Su to the two people opposite.
Sui Feng then thought of what happened to the scar on Xiao Su's wrist that day, it turned out that she was a girl with such a bumpy fate, at this time Xu Zhaohua also remembered that Xiao Su had told him that he was in love with Sui Feng, thinking that this matter might be able to further their relationship.
"Little flocculent?" The old lady looked at Xu Zhaohua.
Xu Zhaohua nodded to her, signaling that the girl she had paid attention to the old lady last time was her. The two looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.
Sui Feng on the side felt a little strange when he looked at the two of them like this.
"I can't come to Fu'an Palace often in the future, and it's not convenient for Xiao Su to come to Daxing Palace often, so the news transmission between us depends on Lord Feng, and I will bother you to communicate with Xiao Su often in the future." Xu Zhaohua said.
Sui Feng readily agreed.
Xu Zhaohua thought about what they should do next, Huo Yanhua can't keep this flower, but if there is any problem with this flower, the first person to be implicated will take care of the flower herself, then after the flower is destroyed, she must retreat in time in the Daduan Palace, but she still needs to continue to investigate the next thing, then there is only one way.
Pretending to be another person from the Daduan Imperial Palace, she felt that this person was best to be the person next to Xianyue, so that she could get more information about Sui Yue and Sui Chen, because only Xianyue was the medium between the two of them.
"I want to destroy the scourge Huo Yanhua, and I need to dress up as the maid next to Xianyue afterwards." Xu Zhaohua said his plan.
Sui Feng thought about it and told him that it could help Xu Zhaohua do it, as long as she waited patiently for a day or two.
The three of them agreed.
At this time, there was some movement outside the door, and the old lady didn't hear it when she was old, but Xu Zhaohua and Sui Feng were both martial arts practitioners, and the two were particularly sensitive to sounds, and when the voice sounded, the two glanced at each other, and quickly determined that there was someone outside the door.
Sui Feng immediately rushed out, Xu Zhaohua saw Sui Feng go out, and was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to the old lady, so he stayed in the room to protect the old lady.
After going out, Sui Feng saw a figure flashing around the corner, sped up his pace to chase the figure, and finally forced the person into a dead end, the person's body trembled and slowly turned his head, it was Rong'er, the palace maid who swept the floor in Fu'an Palace.
"Lord Feng, I'm ......" Before she could finish speaking, Sui Feng's hand stuck in her throat.
"Did youβhearβwhat?" Sui Feng paused word by word.
Rong'er was pinched by him and couldn't speak.
"Listen, no matter what you hear today, you can't say a word, if I hear something that is not good for Xu Zhaohua and my mother, otherwise I will cut your tongue!" After saying that, he let go of Rong'er
He would never allow the two of them to be harmed in the slightest, absolutely not.
Seeing that Rong'er didn't speak, Sui Feng thought that she didn't agree, and immediately pried Rong'er's mouth open.
"Got it, slave got it." The frightened Rong'er cried.
With her words is not enough, just in case he let Rong'er drink a poison, the effect of the drug occurs for a while every month, and the antidote is only available to him, this is the way he can control Rong'er and leave her alive is good for both parties.
After watching Rong'er drink the medicine, he left with peace of mind, Rong'er, who had drunk the medicine, coughed desperately but still couldn't vomit the medicine that had been given to his stomach, so he could only cry, such a scene was the same as the last time the slut surrounded himself.
Why? Why did everyone protect her like that? Why does Lord Feng care about her so much, what is so good about her, is it because of her noble status?
She is not convinced, she is unwilling!
After Sui Feng returned to the main hall of Fu'an Palace, Xu Zhaohua asked him if there was really anyone, and Sui Feng only told her that there was a wild cat outside, and there was no one.
He didn't want her to worry anymore, he solved all the troubles for her, and there was only so much he could do for her.
Then Xu Zhaohua remembered that she had come out to find the soil in the imperial garden for some time, and she had to rush to Daxing Palace now in order not to startle the snake, and after saying goodbye to the old lady and Sui Feng, she hurriedly left.
After Xu Zhaohua left, the old lady looked at her son and sighed:
"Feng'er, there are some people you can't think of."
Sui Feng walked to the door and didn't look back: "Mother, I know, I can guard her." β
After speaking, Sui Feng left.
How can there be a mother in the world who doesn't understand her child, just now her Feng'er looked at Xu Zhaohua's eyes, she saw it all, although her son was suave on the surface, but she knew that this was the umbrella to protect their mother and son to survive in this Daduan Palace, no powerful concubine would allow the sons of other concubines to be better than their own sons, and no powerful prince would allow his brothers to have the hope of competing for the throne with him.
This is the deep palace.
Sui Feng, who went out on this side, immediately went to find Xiao Su to learn about her investigation in recent days, after all, this was something Xu Zhaohua handed over to her, and he must treat it well.
Since Xu Zhaohua left, there is only one person who keeps watch every day, so she doesn't have to work during the day and just rests, so now Xiao Su should be sleeping.
Sui Feng, who walked to the door, pushed open the door and hesitated, after all, it was not good for others to see him entering the palace maids' house now, but after thinking about it, there was no one around here, and he had any evil intentions, as the so-called body was not afraid of shadows, he pushed the door and went in after thinking about it.
After entering, I saw a small cat lying inside, she covered a thin quilt, and the quilt near her feet was also kicked open, I couldn't imagine that I would watch such a harmless little girl sleeping so thick on weekdays.
Unexpected, unexpected.
Thinking about Sui Feng, he reached out and covered her with the quilt, Xiao Xu, who had always been very shallow in sleep, suddenly felt that someone was beside him, opened his eyes and saw a man, and habitually kicked Sui Feng at his feet.
Sui Feng screamed in pain, and when Xiao Su heard the voice, he realized that the original person was Sui Feng:
"Lord Feng, why are you ......?"
Xiao Su's face quickly turned red.
"It's Xu Zhao..... Zhao Ye asked me to ask you about Chu Chenlu's situation, how is it going? Sui Feng asked, covering his head.
How would Lord Feng know? Didn't Zhao Ye tell him, if that's the case, then it means that Prince Feng is also from their side, so does he have more opportunities to contact Prince Feng......
"There are mixed opinions about Chu Chenlu in the palace, some people think that she is one thing in front of her and one thing behind her back, some people think that she is safe in doing things and treats people kindly, in short, she is not a simple person, and she must obey the king's words......"
Xiao Su told the things he had recently investigated about Chu Chenlu one by one, and Sui Feng silently remembered it beside him, sifting out useful information to tell Xu Zhaohua.
Suddenly, a voice from behind sounded: "You ......"
A strange palace maid came in, saw Xiao Su sitting on the bed, and saw Feng Wang Ye with a nosebleed, she suddenly understood something.
"Slave and maid, go out." With that, he hurriedly retreated and closed the door.
"Things are not what you think!" Sui Feng shouted loudly, and the little cat on the side blushed.
