Chapter 208: Who's the Truth?
Just as Leng Qingxiu was dressing up as Han Mei in the side hall to flatter Xuanyuan Che, Zhu Jiu had already come to the room where Leng Qingxiu was being held, it was dark, and there were no candles, only to see Leng Qingxiu wrapping her body thickly, curling up under the window regardless of her image, and falling asleep in the bright moonlight.
Her posture is like that of a baby, pure and beautiful, as if this can make her feel at ease.
Seeing such a cold and quiet Xiu, the wonderful feeling in Zhu Jiu's heart became more and more indescribable, and he couldn't help but shake his head, stepped forward and gently woke her up, and called tentatively: "Hanmei, wake up, don't sleep here."
"Hmm...... Master?"
In a daze, Han Mei opened her eyes and saw Zhu Jiu appear in front of her at a glance, and the expression on her face was exactly the same as when she looked at her before, as if what happened during the day was just a nightmare.
Yes, it must have been a nightmare, she must have been asleep to have such a nightmare!
Thinking of this, Han Mei howled and cried regardless of it, and threw herself into Zhu Jiu's arms to hug her: "Woo woo master, I'm scared to death!" I dreamed that I had become Leng Qingxiu, Leng Qingxiu was gone, but there was a fake Hanmei beside you, who looked exactly like me! She also wronged me for beating her! You still treat me as a cold girl, and you want to punish me severely!"
Zhu Jiu patted her back comfortingly, and his movements were gentle, but he secretly clicked on a few of her acupoints.
If you are a person who practices martial arts, you will feel pain and unhappiness after being clicked on the acupoints, revealing your true face, because these acupuncture points are usually big acupoints and dead acupoints, so they are generally not touched.
And when someone touches it, they will also notice it and be smart enough to avoid it.
But Leng Qingxiu didn't do this, and she was indifferent when she clicked on the acupuncture points, which shows that she is indeed not a person who practices martial arts.
This can prove that she is not a master who pretends to be Leng Qingxiu and wants to plot against her.
So, Zhu Jiu asked again, "Then do you remember what you were most afraid of?"
Except for those close to you, others don't have the opportunity to know what they're most afraid of, and this applies to anyone.
is like a powerful Xuanyuan Che, except for Zhu Jiu who knows that he has a habit of cleanliness and is very afraid of insects, others only know the former, but not the latter.
Even Luo Zheng Minque and others, who personally served him, didn't know anything.
Han Mei followed her words, her thoughts drifted away, and she subconsciously shrank into her arms: "I'm most afraid of being hungry!"
She is not afraid of anyone next to her, but she grew up on the border after years of war, so she often can't eat, and she has seen many people starving to death, and what she is most afraid of is starvation.
"And what do you like to eat the most?"
"I like them all!"
"And what do you hate the most?"
"Hmm...... Coriander?"
After asking a question, it was all about Hanmei's personal habits, but Leng Qingxiu could answer it without leaking.
Zhu Jiu thought for a moment and slowly let go of her, "Knowing Hanmei, you can pretend to be Leng Qingxiu and stay here for a few days for the time being, and I will find a way to save you."
"Huh?"
Han Mei woke up suddenly, and quickly stood up and took her hand: "Master, isn't this a dream? Could it be that I've really become a deserter?"
Seeing Zhu Jiu looking at her and nodding at her, suddenly, Han Mei looked like she was about to cry, "How could it be, how could this be?"
She was out of breath, and Zhu Jiu was really afraid that she would faint out of breath, so he helped her and said, "Don't worry, I said that I would find a way to save you, do you remember the reason why you became like this?"
Han Mei was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then said, "When I came to deliver the food, I put down the food, complained about Leng Qingxiu for a few words and left, and then when I was about to go out, I suddenly saw a black shadow flashing, and then I fainted, and then I woke up again, and things became like this......
The more she spoke, the more she wanted to cry: "What should I do, master, I don't remember what happened, I'm sorry master......
"Alright, alright."
Zhu Jiu patted her head, comforted her for a while, and was about to tell her what to do next, when suddenly, in the moonlight where Hanmei was standing, the moonlight shone out under her face, where her chin and ears were connected, and there was a faint crack.
The crack was as if someone had cut it with a knife, so slender that it was almost completely healed, leaving only a pale pink scar.
If it weren't for the moonlight, Zhu Jiu would not have noticed this abnormality.
Her expression was slightly condensed, and she beckoned to Hanmei, and when Hanmei got closer, she raised her hand and touched her face, and asked if the wound hurts?
Hanmei subconsciously shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, it's just itchy, maybe because this face is not mine, so my body doesn't like it, so it's itchy."
Originally, it was her ridiculous words, wanting to make the atmosphere more relaxed, but it was like a slap in the face, smashing through the fog that shrouded Zhu Jiu's head.
Her eyes widened, and she held Hanmei in surprise: "Yes! Since this face is not yours, then your face must be on Leng Qingxiu! Otherwise, how can you explain Leng Qingxiu's disappearance from here?"
In that case, everything makes sense.
If Leng Qingxiu wants to escape from under her nose, then using Hanmei's face is the best way, because Hanmei is the closest maid by her side, and Zhu Jiu naturally will not suspect her.
And she treats the real Hanmei as Leng Qingxiu, if she doesn't care about it, then Hanmei will die instead of Leng Qingxiu, and Leng Qingxiu will replace Hanmei and stay by her side......
Such a poisonous snake, who knows when she will open her mouth to bite?
Zhu Jiu figured everything out, although he felt that this matter was absurd and weird, but he thought of the black shadow that Han Mei had just said, and he was sure that this face-changing thing was definitely not done by Leng Qingxiu, otherwise she would have the opportunity to escape in this way when she was arrested and brought to the palace.
In other words, someone is secretly helping Leng Qingxiu!
Whether this person wants to be unfavorable to her or has some other plans, she still doesn't know for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that the other party is not here for the treasures of the Central Plains Dynasty.
If it is really the latter, then this matter is very involved, and she can't solve it alone.
Zhu Jiu realized the seriousness of the matter and said to Hanmei: "Hanmei, someone has taken your identity and stayed by my side, I don't know what those people want to do, but don't worry, I won't kill you, you stay here these days, I will find someone to take care of you."
"Yes, master."
Hanmei also realized that things might not be so simple, otherwise the master's expression would not suddenly become serious, so she nodded solemnly.
She will never cause trouble for her master!
After appeasing Hanmei, Zhu Jiu went outside and happened to see Luo Zheng who had just returned.
Luo Zheng was still holding a hot plum blossom cake in his hand, and the sweet aroma made people's fingers move.
When he saw Zhu Jiu, his indifferent face was a little flushed, and then he looked behind Zhu Jiu, probably because he didn't see Hanmei, and he was a little disappointed.
But Zhu Jiu frowned slightly and looked at him, "You just left Changle Palace?"
