Chapter Forty-Nine: Panic and Cowardice

Rong Zhi, who was already weak-hearted, was even more frightened this time, and fell to his knees with a thud, his face became pale, and he said in a mournful voice.

"Nobleman, you treat the slave and the maid well, and the slave and the maid are all in your heart. Even if I die, I won't betray you! With that, Rong Zhi slammed his head to the ground and sobbed in a low voice.

Seeing Rong Zhi like this, Chai Xuan's heart softened again. Maybe it's really that she is too careful, she is just nervous and burning herself. Taking a deep breath, Chai Xuan's face softened, "Okay, I'm wrong to blame you, get up quickly!" ”

Seeing this situation, Xiao Man's heart that hung in his throat finally returned to his stomach. That's it, Chai Xuan is so good to them, if she really betrayed, then it really can't be forgiven. Fortunately, Rong Zhi still had a little conscience, and Xiao Man stepped forward to help Rong Zhi, who was sobbing softly, quite satisfied.

looked at Rong Zhi, who seemed to have been wronged, but Chai Xuan was full of apologies. "Rong Zhi, I'm so nervous, I really didn't mean to doubt you, don't mind."

"Where does the noble man say, how dare the slave and maid mind. It's all Rongzhi who didn't do well, which made the nobles suspicious. Rong Zhi said softly, but his confidence was not very strong.

If it weren't for Rong Zhi hiding the hairpin while he was dressing himself, then how did this thing come about. Chai Xuan frowned in distress, and her temples were also tight.

Seeing that Chai Xuan no longer asked herself, Rong Zhi seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly came out of the house with something, and when she stepped out of the threshold, a layer of fine sweat crawled on her forehead.

"Rongzhi, what's wrong with you?" Xingqing, who was about to enter the door, looked at Rong Zhi, who was lost, and couldn't help twisting his two black eyebrows.

Xingqing, who bumped into him coldly, frightened Rong Zhi, who was already in a state of flux, trembling like a frightened bird. Fixing his expression, Rong Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth with great difficulty, trying his best to hide his panicked look.

"I didn't bother to knock over the water glass, and it burned the nobleman, and I was just scared!" Rong Zhi squinted and stammered.

"What, why are you so careless, didn't burn the nobleman!" The corners of Xingqing's mouth twitched, full of worry.

Seeing Xingqing's question, Rong Zhi clasped the tray and shook his head in a panic, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just splashed on the clothes, it's not a big deal!" It's nothing, I'll leave first, the nobleman is still waiting for me to change a cup of tea......" After saying that, Rongzhi turned around and left, and from time to time he looked back at Xingqing, full of nervousness.

Xingqingzhi, who stayed in place, was stunned by two eyebrows, but the second monk was confused. According to Chai Xuan's temperament, he was splashed with water, and Bacheng didn't even have a word of reproach, but how could he scare Rong Zhi like this.

Xingqing, who was depressed, shook his head and walked into the house, and bent down to bow to Chai Xuan. raised his eyes and saw that Chai Xuan was holding his Tianming acupoint, constantly rubbing it, his face full of worry.

Xiao Man looked at the front of the line and asked, "Xingqing, why are you here?" ”

"Xingqing once heard people say that there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, and it will always get better. Noble, you have to eat well and sleep well, if you suffer from your fairy-like body. Don't say Your Majesty, even Xingqing is worried about dying. Xingqing raised his eight-character eyebrows and bent down again to bow. Although Chai Xuan exempted them from the etiquette of kneeling, they still had to be respectful.

The corners of Xingqing's words were hooked at the corners of Chai Xuan's mouth. If you talk about the ability to praise people, Xingqing is much more powerful than Chai Xuan. It's a pity that he followed himself, and if he followed others, he might be able to soar.

"Xingqing, as far as you will say. Why, as long as you care about the nobles, don't we worry! Xiao Man argued with some jealousy, and glanced at Xingqing angrily.

"How can it be, Sister Xiaoman follows the nobles every day, and if you care about the nobles, it is naturally the first time. We can only envy my sister, you can follow such an approachable and good person every day. Xingqing sighed lightly with a little regret, as if he had really missed some good opportunity.

Listening to the back and forth of the two people next to him, Chai Xuan shook her head helplessly. These two guys sang and talked about their own good, like a long double reed, which made Chai Xuan's mood not as bad as Fang Cai.

"Okay, it's too much, I don't dare to wear such a high hat." Chai Xuan stood up, smiled gracefully, and looked at the two people in front of her steadily, "I know you are worried about me, but don't worry, Chairman Mao once taught us, 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, I will offend people!'" I, Chai Xuan, didn't lie down so easily. Chai Xuan's eyes were sharp, and there was a little more perseverance in her eyes.

"Fang just looked at Rong Zhi as if he had lost his soul, what did he say that the hot water scalded the nobleman, carefully powerful?" Xingqing's black eyebrows fell, and he asked worriedly.

Chai Xuan's eyes sank suddenly, "Lost your soul?" ”

"Yes, it's like stealing something, if I didn't recognize her, others would have mistaken her for a thief." Xingqing joked with a smile.

Hearing this, Chai Xuan's face suddenly had another dark cloud. It seems that I have to investigate carefully.

On the way back from Changshu Palace, Cao Pi didn't say a word. The end is as colored as dark iron, and he is angry. Coincidentally, I bumped into two tongue-chewing girls on the road, talking about Zhen Mi's poems behind their backs.

"Do you say that this "Tang Shangxing" means that Mrs. Zhen is blaming Your Majesty?" A servant girl sighed, as if she was sighing for Zhen Mi.

"Who knows, but the matter between her and the Marquis of Juancheng is spreading, no wonder Your Majesty is ruthless!" Another maidservant also said.

Although the words were short, Cao Pi's face turned blue when he heard it. Seeing this, Guo Zhao immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "It's just presumptuous, and there are no rules, you dare to chew the root of your tongue behind your back, don't you want your heads!" ”

The two who were suddenly startled turned around and knelt down in shock, trembling and lying on the ground, their foreheads pressed against the cold ground.

The sword eyebrows were deep, and Cao Pi's eyebrows were like a two-hundred-pound scale, and his eyelids were wrinkled. The thin lips were tightly closed, and the light in his eyes became cold, "Drag it down, and the cane will die!" ”

In just two words, like ice falling to the ground, the minds of the two people on the ground were blank. In an instant, he wailed and begged Cao Pi to open the net. However, instead of being moved for a moment, the cold color gave rise to a hint of disgust.

Long sleeves fell angrily, turned around and left, and let the two maids be dragged away by a few people heartbreakingly, embarrassed. Looking at Cao Pi's back as he walked away angrily, Guo Zhao only felt a chill behind him. She had no way to follow anymore, because Cao Pi's sense of depression had completely turned her out, and even if she followed again, she could only look at his back and walk alone.

"Your concubine, why don't you follow Your Majesty?" Xu Ji stepped forward to ask anxiously, and there was still a little fear in her eyes.

Guo Zhao, who stopped in place, had a slight light in his eyes, and there was a trace of sadness. "Your Majesty doesn't need me anymore, so why should I be bored."

Guo Zhao's words were a little helpless and sentimental. Since Chai Xuan came, he can personally realize that the self in Chai Xuan's eyes is disappearing little by little.

Xu Ji looked at the sad Guo Zhao fixedly, hung her head stupidly, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Then, the concubine will go back first......" Instead of standing here embarrassed, it is better to slip away quickly.

Guo Zhao still lowered his eyes, didn't raise his eyes, sighed and nodded. As if she had received some kind of pardon, Xu Ji hurriedly saluted Guo Zhao, and hurriedly left as if she had run away with Xiaohong.

Looking at Xu Ji's appearance of running away, Guo Zhao's red lips were full of contempt. His eyes flickered, and he caught a glimpse of the person behind him who was slowly stepping forward, speaking from his throat. "Well done!"

Pan Xue, who was slowly approaching, paused, and bent down to salute Guo according to the rules, "Where, the concubine is just doing what the mother wants." However, Niangniang really admired the concubine, and she was able to take precautions to plant Rongzhi's eyeliner next to Chai Xuan. ”

It turned out that all this was arranged by Guo Zhao last night, but Pan Xue didn't expect that Guo Zhao's killer feature was the old thing between Chai Xuan and Bai Yu.

"I just can count it again, if I didn't have my sister's help, I wouldn't have known so smoothly that Chai Xuan and Bai Yu still have such a past." Guo Zhao half-hooked his red lips, turned his cold face, and looked fixedly at the person in front of him with his head and low eyebrows, and there was a hint of victory in his autumn-like eyes.

Pan Xue got up slowly, raised her eyes to look at Guo Zhao, and asked coldly, "What is Niangniang's next step, is she going to get rid of her?" At this time, Pan Xue's eyes were no longer bearable, she had completely closed her heart and completely wrapped it with desire.

"I want to get rid of her, but my sister doesn't seem to be the only one who is targeting her?" The phoenix's eyes squinted, but Guo Zhao's half-playful tone was full of coldness.

As soon as the words came out, Pan Xue was a little shocked. is worthy of Guo Zhao, who has risen all the way, and his plan does not seem to have hidden from her at all.

"Your concubine, this is all a congratulatory gift from my sister." Pan Xue quickly suppressed her stunned expression and smiled slightly.

Seeing Pan Xue like this, Guo Zhao smiled coldly and said, "Why, you don't support Xu Ji anymore." ”

"Xu Ji is weak and incompetent, and has no vision. Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, and concubines naturally know what is a good choice. Pan Xueling spoke softly, without half affection.

Pan Xue's cold and ruthless words made Guo Zhao very satisfied, "Very good, this palace appreciates people like you." ”

To survive in this harem, everything will be weak and nothing will be accomplished, and it may not be possible to reach the top single-handedly. Only those who win over Pan Xue to do this decisively can help themselves.

"But the mother, the concubine also said it clearly. With His Majesty's feelings for Chai Xuan, a mere hairpin is of no help at all, and she can't move her at all, only with the right to kill can she always solve the trouble. Pan Xue's eyes were gloomy, and her eyes flashed with cold light.

"What do you mean?" Guo Zhao's eyes were ruthless, and he threw himself coldly at the cold face.

"A noble concubine is a noble concubine after all, but the queen is different, the real right of one person under ten thousand people! Noble concubine Niangniang, if there is no Zhen Mi, then what else can stand in the way! ”

Pan Xue's resolute and cold eyes couldn't help but affect Guo Zhao's nerves. What Guo Zhao wants, Pan Xue knows best. Since she didn't dare to say it explicitly, she would pierce it directly and put it in front of her directly.

"So ......"

Guo Zhao, who said something in words, was full of emotions. The woman in front of me has greater ambitions than I imagined. If you want to use her abilities, it must be a risky bet. If you don't make it, you will eventually fall into her hands, and there will be no bones left.

"Fuel the fire, once and for all." The sharp eyes are cold like Chen Bing in the snowy mountains, and the smoke eyebrows are slanted, drawing out bursts of coldness.
