Yan Que instructed the butler: "In the palace, are there no other subordinates in the Dao?" How do you let the young master personally come and serve the visitor? Dial a few more maids over here! ”

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ci said to him: "No need for the prince, when I was sick in the past, Chu Luoci also took care of me, and the courtesies were exchanged, but now that she is sick, I should be by my side to take care of her." And those maids haven't served her, and I don't know her preferences, so let me come. ”

Yan Que sneered: "Okay, it seems that this king has beaten the mandarin ducks, since you want to serve by his side, then serve!" ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as he got out of the courtyard door, Yan Que could no longer maintain his apparent calmness, and his whole face was completely darkened.

He summoned the secret guard and asked, "What is Zhou Ci talking about?" ”

The dark guard replied: "It should be said that after returning from the Qinglou that night, the young master suffered a loss of health because of the spring hunting, and he fell ill in the middle of the night, and Miss Chu Luoqi went to take care of it. ”

Yan Que frowned very much after hearing this, "It's already midnight after coming back from the Qinglou that day, right?" In the middle of the night, she was a woman, and she went to serve in the young master's room? Are you all dead? Don't you know how to let someone else serve? ”

The Dark Guard lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Que asked again, "It's not the first time that Chu Luoci has healed others, so it's worth remembering Zhou Ci for so long?" ”

This time, the shadow guard opened his mouth to answer.

"Maybe it's because Chu Luoci takes care of it more carefully, after all, not everyone can take care of them all night."

When Yan Que heard this, he quickly distilled the key points from his words.

"Take care of it all night?! Chu Luoci was in Zhou Ci's room all night?! ”

The secret guard didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully, "It's true, it wasn't until dawn that Miss Chu Luoci came out of the young master's room. ”

Although Yan Que didn't want to admit it, when he heard these words of the secret guard at this moment, something called jealousy in his heart took root and sprouted wildly, almost making him unable to maintain his expression!

In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows ......

The two of them also drank so much wine in the Qinglou!

Chu Luoci actually stayed in Zhou Ci's room all night!

This is to change to an ordinary woman, and it is impossible to say that two people are not married!

"Is it really just an all-night care and nothing else?"

"This ......," the dark guard hesitated, "Miss Chu Luoci and Young Master Cousin are both decent characters, so there shouldn't be anything dirty, right......?" Because it was a matter in the yard of the young master, we only paid a little attention to it......"

"If the prince wants to know the details, his subordinates will go to the young master's courtyard to investigate one or two, there will always be some people who know some inside information."

Intellectually, I knew that such an approach was not appropriate.

It's not polite to inquire about private matters between two people.

And in doing so, it seemed that he cared a lot about Chu Luo.

But he couldn't control himself, and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened that night!

It's not that he doesn't believe in the innocence between Chu Luoci and Zhou Ci, it's just that the relationship between these two people is getting closer and closer, so he can't help but have a lot of dark thoughts.

"This king asked you to keep your mouth shut about this matter, and you must not let others know!"

The Dark Guard nodded, "My subordinates know!" ”

Chu Luoci in the courtyard.

Zhou Ci saw Chu Luoci's face flushed, and his heart was distressed.

"Why was you so careless? Why do you suddenly have a fever? ”

Chu Luoci really can't answer this question truthfully.

The reason why she started the fever was purely because that night in the palace, back and forth between the banquet hall and the side hall, the night was cold and windy, and he and Yanque had experienced that incident again, and they were disheveled......

All of a sudden, I caught a cold.

She really couldn't tell Zhou Ci about the real reason, so she could only find that reason to prevaricate at will.

Zhou Ci shushed a few more words, suddenly hesitated, and said to Chu Luoci: "Are the people in your courtyard credible?" I have a few words I want to say to you. ”

Chu Luoci saw that his expression was serious, thought about it and said, "Wait for Yinghong to come with the medicine later, and I will arrange for him to call out all the people in the courtyard." ”

After a while, Yinghong returned.

Chu Luo resigned, and ordered: "The young master and I also have a few important words to say, you get all the people in the courtyard out, and don't leave people around the courtyard." ”

Yinghong knew that there must be an important conversation between the two, so she didn't ask too much, put down the medicine, and left after telling Chu Luoci to drink it on time.

After a while, the only two rough maids in the courtyard were also taken away by Yinghong.

Chu Luoci held his breath and felt that the courtyard was indeed clean, so he said to Zhou Ci: "If there is anything important, you can say it." ”

Yan Que made sure that there was no one around, so he took out a flat box from his arms.

"Do you remember the Qinglou we went to before? That night, I was blocked in the green building by the prince, and then I went out of the house and passed by the green building, but I didn't expect the green building to open as promised and as usual. ”

Chu Luoci smiled, "Yanque only went there at the beginning, just to arrest those officials, and in a place like Qinglou, there are big officials behind it, isn't it normal?" ”

"It's really normal, but when I was passing by, suddenly a girl from the building came out of the building and intercepted me, and handed me something like this, saying that this is very important to you, let me give it to you with my own hands, is there anyone you know in the green building?"

Chu Luoci frowned and searched the memory of the original owner, confirming that the original owner was a real lady, and she rarely even went out, let alone went to that kind of mixed place!

So he shook his head, "No, I don't know anyone in there. ”

"That's weird, I think that girl is waiting there to block me!"

He handed the box to Chu Luoci.

"I haven't opened this box, but I studied the appearance, you see there is a wooden lock here, I don't know who made it, it's ingenious, I'm afraid there is no way to open it."

Chu Luoci took the box in his hand, only to feel that it was very heavy, it was a good wood, and when he saw the lock of Zhou Ci's paper, he suddenly felt very familiar.

In an instant, the memories of the original owner came flooding back to my heart.

She remembered that this kind of lock had been seen when the original owner was young!

It's the father of the original owner who was a general, and he once learned it from the old carpenter, and specially made a small box for the original owner to install jewelry!

Chu Luoci took the box in his hand, recalled the method of opening it, and fiddled with it a few times, and the box opened with a click!

In the small box, there was a blood-stained handkerchief.

The handkerchief must have been a little old, its original color had faded considerably, and most of the goose-yellow handkerchief was soaked in blood.

Because of the age, the blood has turned dark brown, and it is shocking to look at.

However, these are not the things that Chu Luoci cares about the most.

What Chu Luo cared about was an orchid in the corner of the handkerchief.

This familiar flower, as well as the delicate and dense embroidery of special techniques......

This veil must have come from the original owner's mother's hand!

What kind of person would send such a handkerchief?!

Chu Luoci gently took the handkerchief in his hand with the doubts in his heart, and as the handkerchief was taken out, at the bottom of the box, a piece of paper fell lightly......

There are two words written on the piece of paper: Jiangnan.
