Chapter 400: What's the Connection?
"?"
Hanmei stayed by Zhu Jiu's side, for fear that something would be wrong with her again.
"Let's go, we don't need it here, just leave it to Min Que and Wei Changshou."
"Yes."
Hanmei stretched out her hand to help Zhu Jiu, she knew her mother's temperament, she was supported by fortitude inside and out, and she didn't want to show her decline in front of others.
She has to protect the queen every day.
The soft sedan chair had been waiting outside the Ziji Palace, and Zhu Jiu and his party had nothing to say on the way back to the palace, until they stepped into the gate of Changle Palace, and Zhu Jiu suddenly showed a tired look.
"Niangniang, the slave will help you to rest on the couch."
Zhu Jiu stroked his forehead, shook his head slightly, and stopped Han Mei's outstretched hand, "I'm not in a hurry to rest, you go and call Hua Xue in, I have something to ask her."
"Niangniang's face is not good, why rush at this time......
Hanmei still wanted to persuade again, but halfway through her words, she suddenly saw Zhu Jiu's face, and immediately swallowed the back half back.
"I know your intentions," Zhu Jiu smiled reluctantly, "But for some reason, I always feel uneasy in my heart, so it's better to ask Hua Xue first."
"The slave and maid go and call her over, and the mother will stay for a while."
Han Mei was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Zhu Jiu more and more worriedly, and then turned around and went out to look for flowers and snow.
"Hopefully I'm thinking too much." Zhu Jiu was not entangled, and helped Gao Ji to sit down and wait for someone to come in.
Hua Xue was thinking about Zhu Jiu's instructions in her heart, and waited for her to come back, when she heard that Zhu Jiu had summoned her, she came quickly with Hanmei.
"Who's here today?"
"The mother is like a god, if someone really comes." Hua Xue continued: "In the afternoon, Bitong Courtyard sent a girl over, saying that Zu Mengxu, the prince of Loulan, wanted to ask to see Niangniang and Lan Zhaoyi, and the time and place could be decided by Niangniang."
"How did you get back?"
"Niangniang is busy, she may not have time to see Prince Loulan, let His Royal Highness the Prince wait," Hua Xue looked like she was on top, acting vividly, "As for Lan Zhaoyi, the noble master is sick and it is not suitable to see a foreign man, please be patient with His Royal Highness the Prince, and wait!"
The left sentence and wait, the right sentence and wait, Zhu Jiu secretly laughed, I don't know if this ancestor Mengxu will explode his lungs?
"You girl, do I treat people like this on weekdays?"
Hua Xue said: "Niangniang is tired these days, it is the right thing to take care of her body first, and it is God's grace for others to do whatever they do, let them wait."
Zhu Jiu took the ginseng soup served by Hanmei beside him, lowered his eyes and took a sip, and only put it down for a while before continuing to speak.
"I'm going to go to Your Majesty again tomorrow, and Hanmei will still go with me."
"As for Hua Xue," Zhu Jiu glanced at her, seeing that this girl was slightly disappointed, and unconsciously made her voice louder, "I have more important things for you to do, don't be disappointed."
"Slaves and maids."
was poked by Niangniang for her careful thoughts, Hua Xue's face was shy, but she still listened to Zhu Jiu's instructions seriously.
"You go to Qinghui Garden for me, be sure to meet Baili Jin in person, tell him that I want to see him, the time and place are set by him, just one point, let him strictly abide by this matter, and never let others know."
Hua Xue nodded and took the order, and seeing that Zhu Jiu was full of fatigue, she bowed down and retreated under Hanmei's signal.
"I have to suffer tomorrow, seeing the affairs of the prince of Baili, why should the mother be in a hurry at this time?"
Zhu Jiu closed his eyes and raised his mind, and did not reply to her question directly, but said something else, "What day is this?"
"Hui Niangniang, today is fifteen."
"Fifteen ......"
Zhu Jiu muttered silently, "The day mentioned in the news from the Ghost Shadow Building is getting closer and closer, and I can't afford to delay."
"What did the mother say?"
Hanmei didn't hear Zhu Jiu's silent thoughts, and slowly wanted to ask again, but Zhu Jiu seemed unwilling to say more.
"Nothing! By the way, have you seen the hidden sword beside Your Majesty in the past two days?"
"Hidden Sword?"
Han Mei frowned and thought about it, then shook her head and replied, "I haven't seen it, it's not just him, okay."
It's like even Tang Yi hasn't seen it."
These two people are Xuanyuan Che's personal guards, and the situation of disappearing day by day is indeed abnormal.
"There's still something to hide from me!"
Zhu Jiu took the handkerchief on the side, rubbed the corners of his eyes lightly and heavily, but there was no displeasure on his face.
"Mother, but that tear mole hurts again?"
Hearing the anxiety and concern in Han Mei's mouth, Zhu Jiu opened his eyes slightly and looked at her, "Thinking of some troubles, my head hurts a little, and it has nothing to do with tear moles. Don't be so nervous, if your majesty sees you, I'm afraid he will see the clues."
"Yes, the slave is going to make you a bowl of calming soup now?"
"No need, I'm tired," Zhu Jiu got up and walked to the bed, and said again, "It's a little stuffy in the room, you go and push the corner window open a little, and then go down to rest."
Han Mei reacted and acted immediately, pushed open a crack in the dark window in the corner of the house, didn't say anything more, hid the worry in her eyes, and exited the door with light steps, and at the same time sent all the palace people waiting outside the door to stay further away from the door.
In the room, Zhu Jiu waited for her to arrange everything, and then closed her eyes heavily, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
In fact, her mind kept recalling the events of these days, especially the details of the massacre that Tu Yu had caused during the palace meeting, and she couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in her heart.
The Flower of the Other Side, the Dementor Bead, the Controlled Medicine Man, the Ghost Face Flower......
One by one, there seemed to be something connected in between, but every time, when Zhu Jiu wanted to grasp the key clue in his mind, the clue slid to the inscrutable corner like a swimming fish, and he couldn't grasp it at all for a while. ap.
Tu Woo!
It seems that the key lies with him, and this must not be wrong!
almost let him succeed in the middle, which is already scary, if there is another time, I don't know if there will be room for return.
Also, it was not only Zhu Jiu who had an accident this time, but also Xuanyuan Che.
Fortunately, he and Zhu Jiu were able to save each other, otherwise......
Zhu Jiu didn't dare to think about it anymore, if he lost Xuanyuan Che, not only would Xuanyuan be in chaos, but he was afraid that he would also collapse.
Since she was reborn and met him again, Zhu Jiu has changed a lot, and now she can hardly bear the pain of losing Xuanyuan Che.
That being the case, the only thing to do after that is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and completely cut off the path of evil.
If her guess was correct, the connection between the Dementor Orb and the Soul Bead would not be as simple as she had seen before, but what exactly it was was a real headache.
As for his purpose, Zhu Jiu was sure in his heart that he couldn't do without the treasures left by the Central Plains Dynasty, but he was so impatient, and he definitely wanted more than that.
It seems that it is time to meet again for a while.
Outside Changle Palace, the man in black descended from the sky, half-kneeling at the corner window to listen to Zhu Jiu's orders.
Zhu Jiu muttered, "Tell the people in the Third Hall that I want to know the whereabouts of the Black Soul Envoy and what he is doing, the sooner the better!"
The man in black bowed his head, wrote them down one by one, and then disappeared into the night without a sound.
As everyone knows, on the verandah outside Changle Palace, Tang Yi is holding his arms and quietly watching everything that happens here.
"Hey, I'm worrying about the queen again, Your Majesty, you'd better get better soon."
