Chapter 266: Late Night Thief
Just thinking about it like this, I fell asleep in a daze.
Their main house is very quiet, but it does not mean that the Zhaodeyuan Temple is peaceful at this time.
In the backyard, there are two slave rooms in a row. The room on the left is where early summer and autumn sleep. Knowing that autumn is entangled, he is willing to get up and lie down with early summer. What's more, in the general's mansion before, the two of them were used to sleeping together, so even if there were two slave rooms in the backyard, in the end, the two of them only used one, which was quite economical.
"Knock knock knock......" At this time, under the back window of this house, there was a man in brocade clothes, sneaky.
"Sister, listen, is there any sound?" Zhiqiu was already about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the window, so he was so frightened that he exclaimed. Tightly clung to the quilt of early summer.
Thinking about tonight's strange things in the early summer, I naturally couldn't sleep. Zhiqiu heard a voice in a daze, but she heard a voice clearly.
Hatsu became nervous and made a silent gesture to Zhiqiu.
His eyes quickly scanned the room, and he gently got up with his hands on his hands, trying to get scissors from the needlework basket on the table.
"Knock knock...... Did you fall asleep in early summer? It's me......" The sound of banging on the back window continued, and the man had already spoken.
Listening to this voice, early summer thought that my ears were bad.
Rubbing his ears, he stopped his movements and listened carefully......
"In early summer, you can open the window for me, or open the door. By the way, remember to get dressed. The man spoke again.
This time, Chu Xia can make a judgment with certainty - this person is King Jing.
How did he come in so late? And how did he get in? Didn't the guards patrolling the palace notice him?
But the others were already outside, and in order to avoid causing more trouble, early summer gently opened the door. As soon as the autumn wind blew, the door that was originally slightly open was blown wide open in an instant, and there was a bang!
"Hmm...... Woof! Woof! The edelweiss in the yard, from her dazed sleep, was awakened by this sound and called twice.
"Oops...... "Oops" in early summer held his forehead and hurriedly held on to the door to prevent it from making any more noise.
With this loud noise, King Jing naturally knew that the door had been opened. When he secretly sighed that this girl was really stupid, the person had already quickly walked around the front of the house and rushed into the door.
Faintly hearing the sound of the door being blown open by the wind, King Chen propped himself up and listened carefully for a while......
But I didn't notice anything else.
But subconsciously, he had already grabbed the dagger under the pillow and stood up.
Rong Yunxi slept like a dead pig and didn't hear this sound at all.
King Chen waited quietly for a long time, and found that there was no other sound, probably because the door of one of the houses in the courtyard was not closed tightly, and it was blown open by the strong wind. Only then did he put down the dagger and lay down quietly again. Looking sideways at the sleeping woman beside him, his brows furrowed......
In the slave room, King Jing rubbed his hands and sighed: "I'm freezing to death, why is it so cold at night!" Are you warm in the bed? I reached in to warm my hands. ”
At this time, Chuxia was just wearing a coat, and Zhiqiu, who was lying next to Chuxia, didn't have time to get dressed, but he just wrapped his body in a quilt, which was safe.
Moreover, King Jing didn't squint, and went straight to the empty bed, as if he didn't notice that there were still people on the side.
Seeing that King Jing put his hand into her quilt without scruples, Chu Xia didn't bother to think about these useless etiquette. Just asked, "Your Highness, why haven't you left yet?" Stay, is there something going on in your palace that makes it inconvenient to go back? ”
Of course, she knew very well in her heart that King Jing stayed definitely not for this reason. But before it is confirmed, it is still necessary to be polite.
"Ah...... Be...... Yes......" King Jing got a reminder from early summer, and said seriously, "There is an accident in my palace, and I can't go back tonight." I didn't go out, so I had to stay here for now. ”
"Your Highness is waiting, the slave maid will go to my Highness and ask him to arrange a house for you."
As soon as I saw King Jing like that, I knew in early summer that what he said must be false. It was because I listened to her that I climbed down the pole. So there was no need to ask him what was going on. If you continue to ask, King Jing's lies will not be true. It's better to go directly to King Chen and happily take him into an army.
"Hey...... Don't! King Jing was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and stopped in front of Chu Xia.
said nervously: "Let me tell you, the things in my house can't be told to others." If the third brother knows, he will laugh at me. You don't want to see me laughed at, do you? Anyway, we're friends too, you have to be righteous, you know? ”
"But don't let Your Highness know, where are you staying tonight?" Hatsu asked.
"I ...... Oh, I'll leave after a while", King Jing said, "I'm just here for a while." We're friends, and now I'm in trouble, isn't it normal to borrow your place to settle down? If you don't help with this little favor, you don't pay attention to righteousness. ”
Chuxia glanced at Zhiqiu: "But it's inconvenient for me here." I'm not alone. If you're a woman, don't say stay here for a while, it's okay to stay here. But you're a man, how inconvenient it is to stay here at night! ”
But I also know that it doesn't seem to be much use to say this. Because King Jing was not a person who talked about rules in the first place.
"It's okay, you talk, just as if I don't exist." Zhiqiu said something, covered his head with the quilt, and really hid himself.
"Look...... No one, right? King Jing was already sitting on the chair at the round table very unceremoniously, and the master beckoned to her, "Come on, come on, you sit down and talk to this king." Pass the time so you don't feel embarrassed. ”
"Hmph...... Are you embarrassed? Why didn't I see it......" Chu Xia muttered, but still obediently sat down in front of King Jing.
King Jing did not leave the palace, but secretly ran to the Zhaode Courtyard and secretly came to her house, and the reason for this was very clear in her heart.
To be honest, I was very moved and grateful in my heart, but on the surface, I couldn't express this gratitude.
He is the prince, and she is just a dowry maid in King Chen's mansion, and the two of them were originally not right. King Jing is good to her now, maybe it's just a fresh and fun thing. After this novelty, I left her behind.
So she can't show anything, otherwise, wouldn't she take other people's jokes seriously?
is also because she is just a slave, King Jing treats her well, but he doesn't say anything, he just talks about him as a friend, so she can't refuse. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem too self-indulgent and take yourself too seriously?
And in my heart, I was reluctant to refuse.
"Today's matter, you have been wronged. Don't worry, the king will avenge you and get back all the grievances you have suffered! That old mother, this king went to tell the Queen Mother, let the Queen Mother expel her, and we can't see her. ”
"Come on, you don't fool me", Chu Xia said with a smile, "If the Queen Mother asks you, why what, what do you say?" ”
"This king said that she was not thoughtful and neglected this king! The king said that if the imperial grandmother does not make decisions for your grandson, it is clear that you do not take your grandson to heart. Even an old slave dares to snub his grandson, who will harm his grandson in the future? You say, when I say this, does the imperial grandmother relent? Is it just going to follow me? ”
"It's a shame to make it so pitiful......" Hatsu laughed.
"Hey, it's okay, this is called a stratagem", King Jing said, "To deal with the imperial grandmother, you have to use this trick, this is called the right medicine." If you come with her, not only will it not work out, but she will also break her legs! ”
Chu Xia smiled: "Okay, thank you for your understanding, but I really don't feel any grievances." Did Mama Jin frame me, didn't she tell the truth? At Mama Jin's age, she can be my grandmother, just look at it, what's wrong? The little lord in the palace, hasn't she seen it yet? Maybe which lady in the palace is now seen by her like this. ”
"Then how can it be the same......" King Jing muttered.
thought of another person again, and continued to mutter: "And Qin Yingyue, this matter is all her doing." But she is the crown princess, and it is not easy to seek revenge on her. I have to think about it in the long run, but I definitely can't spare her, at least I have to make her lose face......"
"I don't really care about that. I'm just worried about Miss......" Chu Xia frowned, "Tonight's matter, someone is trying to frame Miss." To be able to do things in the palace and succeed, how much means does this person have...... Your Highness, do you say that it is the people of our palace or the people outside? ”
"You......" King Jing sighed, "always thinking about others, but not thinking about yourself." ”
But looking at the appearance of early summer, it seems that I really don't care about being looked at. Then he was relieved.
But it's better to confirm: "You really don't care?" Really don't feel uncomfortable? ”
"It's bound to be uncomfortable," Hatsutsu said, "but it doesn't hurt because of it." This kind of thing, naturally, it's better to forget it quickly, remember it, isn't it to find a block for yourself? Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but if you cry and cry to death because of this, what a joke! I look down on myself. ”
"Oh......" King Jing dragged out his voice and nodded.
This little girl still has a point. It seems that she can really figure it out. If you don't think so, you can't say it so clearly, right?
It seems that he is overthinking. That's good, that's good......
