Chapter 100: Friend or Foe
A trace of hesitation flashed in Lan Ruoxuan's eyes, her eyes glanced around slightly, cleared her throat and said, "You all go down." Looking at Chu Li again, I saw Chu Li looking at himself meaningfully.
"Prince Chu, now that you are safe, if you have anything to say, just say it." Lan Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and said.
Chu Li smiled slightly, looked at Lan Ruoxuan and said, "What, I just saved Concubine Lan's life, is this how Concubine Lan is her life-saving benefactor?"
Lan Ruoxuan snorted coldly, only to hear Chu Li continue: "Concubine Lan, in fact, you and I both understand in our hearts that our enemy is the same, my third brother Chu Shi came to Daxuan that day, and the matter of Lan Ming's true beads is where our sincerity lies, if Concubine Lan Niangniang really doesn't understand our intentions, why did she accept the phoenix's fate that day?" ”
Lan Ruoxuan's face turned slightly pale, and she wanted to say something, but she was directly interrupted by Chu Li: "Lan Ruoxuan, this prince has already said so clearly, your palace maid visited the imperial study at night and did not come back, Song Jinyan sent someone to check on people, if I hadn't secretly arranged for a Nanzhao witch who knew the secret art of disguise to cover it up for you, do you think Song Jinyan would let you go?" ”
"It's you—" Lan Ruoxuan covered her mouth in surprise and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. Chu Li has always been an unknown existence, with a personable demeanor, but his aura is always weak. Except for the last time when Nanzhao specially sent someone to come, Chu Li showed a few glances in front of people, and after these days, he almost forgot about this person.
Looking Chu Li up and down, Lan Ruoxuan's eyes revealed a hint of caution, and she said in a cold tone: "I didn't expect Prince Chu to hide so deeply, this is really the answer to that sentence, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind." Everyone was deceived by Prince Chu. ”
After a pause, Lan Ruoxuan continued: "This palace still remembers that Prince Chu seemed to be quite interested in the queen for a while, and looking at Prince Chu's performance today, I think it is also fake?" ”
Chu Li glanced at the scenery not far away, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he evaded: "You don't have to worry about this, Concubine Laolan, Chu Li has his own plans, you just need to think clearly, whether you want to cooperate with me." ”
Lan Ruoxuan was stunned and didn't speak. She couldn't contact her brother, so she didn't dare to form an alliance with such a person casually.
As soon as Chu Li stepped into the door, the first thing he said was to cooperate with him, which scared Lan Ruoxuan a lot, listening to this person's tone, it seems that his brother had also had dealings with Nanzhao, but now that the palace is heavily guarded, he has not heard from his brother for a long time, and Lan Ruoxuan is also a little afraid to rashly agree to Chu Li's cooperation.
"What Prince Chu meant, this palace understands." Lan Ruoxuan nodded and said, "It's just that this matter is very important, and this palace is grateful for today's matter, but this palace still knows very little about Prince Chu, and it can't make a decision for Prince Chu for a while." ”
Chu Li smiled lightly: "Concubine Lan said this, but she is playing Tai Chi, what Concubine Lan wants to know, Chu Li must know everything." ”
Lan Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows: "For example, your purpose." Like, how did you know about me. Another example, what can Hongu get by cooperating with you? ”
Chu Li slowly straightened up, and the seemingly inconspicuous person who was originally lying on his back suddenly burst out with the aggressive momentum of the superior, and the cowardice on his face faded, and there was a feminine beauty.
Approaching Lan Ruoxuan step by step, Chu Li's voice seemed to come from a distant place: "I am a prince, and staying here is naturally for the great cause of the country." How to know Concubine Lan. Naturally, it is because of the unusual nature of Concubine Lan, and the future of cooperation with this prince is immeasurable. ”
Chu Li seemed to have answered every question, but in fact, he didn't explain anything.
Lan Ruoxuan frowned: "Prince Chu is like this, it's too insincere. ”
When Chu Li heard this, he laughed and said loudly: "Qingnu-"
Hearing Chu Li's voice, a girl beside Lan Ruoxuan came out of the ranks, bent her knees slightly, and saluted Chu Li: "Childe is polite." ”
Chu Li nodded and said to Lan Ruoxuan: "Does Concubine Lan know this person?" ”
"Are you ......" Lan Ruoxuan frowned.
The woman named Qingnu smiled slightly, her hand gently brushed her face, and almost instantly, she changed into a face that was exactly the same as Youzhu. Give yourself a weird smile.
"Ahh Lan Ruoxuan covered her mouth in shock and took a few steps back.
Qing Nu smiled slightly, and changed into a rather ordinary maid's face. He bowed to Lan Ruoxuan and said, "Slave Qingnu, I've seen Concubine Lan." ”
Chu Li smiled lightly and said loudly: "Qingnu has never forgotten, she is proficient in disguise, and every face she has ever seen can be disguised exactly the same." Chu Li stared at Lan Ruoxuan and said with a faint smile: "Today, I will leave this Qingnu to Concubine Lan, and in the future, I will let Qingnu stay in the name of Concubine Lan's original girl." Quan Nanzhao's greeting gift to Concubine Lan, how is it? ”
Right now, Chu Li is sending people to his palace, I'm afraid this girl is not a good stubble, but if she is gone, the Youzhu beside her will be gone, and sooner or later it will be noticed by Song Jinyan, let alone seen by Kou Shu. So now, even if I don't want to, I'm afraid I have to leave people behind.
Lan Ruoxuan glanced at Qingnu, her eyes revealed a strong distrust, but she was helpless, and nodded: "In this way, I have to thank Gongzi Chu for his kindness." ”
Chu Li smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly, and said: "Concubine Lan Niangniang doesn't have to be polite, Qingnu is one of the best disguise masters in my Southern Zhao, I believe that with the help of Qingnu, Concubine Lan Niangniang will definitely be able to strengthen her wings." ”
Lan Ruoxuan looked at Qing Nu coldly, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a thick coldness.
Qingnu lowered his head, but his eyes were neither humble nor arrogant, but he was not frightened by Lan Ruoxuan's coldness at all.
"Concubine Lan doesn't have to worry, although my Nanzhao is a small country, but I value the word friendship the most, Concubine Lan and I cooperate, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Lan Ruoxuan raised her eyebrows and did not answer Chu Li's words.
Chu Li smiled and continued: "It is reasonable that Niangniang does not trust Chu Li, since this is the case, this prince might as well give Concubine Lan one more piece of news," Chu Li paused and continued: "What Concubine Lan Niangniang is looking for is not one thing, but three things. Part of this thing is in the imperial study, but part of it is still in the Kou Mansion. As for where the third part is now, the prince is not very clear. ”
With that, Chu Li bowed slightly towards Lan Ruoxuan, saluted, and turned to leave. Looking at Chu Li's back, and then at the Qing slaves left by his side, a chill slowly rose in Lan Ruoxuan's heart. The water in this palace is getting deeper and deeper.
