Chapter 473 Interception halfway
The person who stopped the palace maid was dressed in brocade clothes, and his expression looked pampered and noble. She glanced at the palace maid with slanted eyes, and said, "What are you going to do in a hurry?"
The palace maid was pressed by this person's momentum, and before she could speak, a burst of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and stumbled, "Slave maid...... The slave didn't want to do anything, just came out for a walk......"
This excuse is not good in practicality, and the palace maid seems to know this, but in the end, she really can't say any more, so she just keeps her mouth shut, and her hands keep wiping the cold sweat from her sideburns.
The man didn't seem to see the palace maid's predicament, but just sneered: "I don't want to do anything?" Hongu sees that you want to do everything!" Speaking of this, the man's words changed sharply, "If this palace is not mistaken, you are going to find His Royal Highness King Wu, right?" ”
When the palace maid heard this, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and she couldn't maintain the composure on her face anymore. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't figure out how the person in front of her knew what she was going to do.
It was not someone else who stopped the palace maid, it was Chu He who rushed to hear the news.
But it was said that Captain Chu and Mrs. Chu successfully sent the clothes into the palace, and after seeing Concubine Yu put them on, they thought that they had solved a big trouble for Chu He, and immediately told Chu He happily.
After Chu He heard this, he was also a little overjoyed, but he was obviously much calmer than the joy of Taiwei Chu and them, who were almost carried away.
A hundred-legged insect is still dead but not stiff, not to mention that the jade concubine is very smart, and there are many schemes in her belly. What if she was in a hurry and broke this situation that was bound to die?
The more Chu He thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. After thinking about it, she immediately decided to send a few spies to the cold palace to observe Concubine Yu's every move.
Afterwards, every time Chu He thought about it, he was especially grateful to himself for keeping an extra eye at the beginning. Otherwise, it is not Concubine Qin who is afraid of death, but her.
said that the spies sent by Chu He reported the news of the Jade Concubine with Chu He every day. Chu He first heard the news that Concubine Yu had given half of the clothes to Concubine Qin, and couldn't help but be stunned. In the first game, they didn't plan to get rid of Concubine Qin together.
But Chu He thought about it carefully, and he was immediately relieved. Concubine Qin is Gu Zhiheng's biological mother, if she is gone, it will definitely be a major blow to Gu Zhiheng, which is not a bad thing for herself. Therefore, Chu He did not stop it, but just watched coldly.
It didn't take long for the news that Concubine Qin and Concubine Yu had both contracted the plague. Before Chu He could rejoice, he learned that Concubine Qin planned to go to Gu Zhiheng for help.
At this time, Chu He suddenly panicked. Although the plague is said to be incurable, it may not be cured if it is cured as soon as it is cured. Not to mention that among them, if it is discovered that it is related to himself or Taiwei Chu at this time, it will really be impossible to eat and walk around.
Therefore, Chu He hurriedly came, wanting to stop this palace maid. His thoughts stopped abruptly here, and Chu He came back to his senses and looked at the palace maid in front of him, his expression becoming more and more unkind.
The palace maid was stared at by Chu He like this, and she was almost scared to cry, but she could only shrink to the side, not daring to move. She thought back to Chu He Fangcai's words, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
The palace maid couldn't figure out how Chu He learned that she was going to find Gu Zhiheng. Now that she has learned about it, the palace maid didn't dare to hide it, but nodded honestly and said, "Slave, slave maid is indeed looking for His Royal Highness King Wu."
Chu He sneered again when he heard the palace maid's words. Sure enough, it was fortunate that the palace maid was intercepted here, otherwise it would inevitably be another troublesome matter.
While thinking in his heart, Chu He raised his head and said casually: "This palace has long known your whereabouts, so you don't play any tricks in front of this palace." Otherwise...... Hugh blames the palace for not showing mercy!"
Although this sentence may seem light, it is actually full of threats. The palace maid was already frightened at this time, so naturally she didn't dare to do anything else, she just nodded, and said with a cower: "The slave and maid know, the slave and maid will definitely not play any tricks, and please be merciful."
Hearing this, Chu He was a little satisfied, and a smile came out of his face. She nodded, "That's right. As long as you don't play tricks, this palace will never treat you badly. ”
After saying this, Chu He's words changed again: "Speaking of which, this palace still needs to explain one thing to you." Don't go after King Wu. ”
After the palace maid heard Chu He say this, a little hesitation finally appeared on her face. The matter of going to find His Royal Highness King Wu was personally explained to her by Concubine Qin. Therefore, she did not dare to disobey.
Seeing the palace maid's performance like this, how could Chu He not know what she was thinking in her heart? Chu He's face immediately became gloomy again, and said, "What, are you unhappy?"
"The slave maid is not unhappy, but ......" The palace maid was obviously hesitating at this time, and her speech was quite slurred, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing the palace maid's hesitant look, Chu He hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Don't worry, this palace will not treat you badly." If you promise not to look for King Wu, this palace will reward you more. ”
After saying this, Chu He casually threw a purse to the palace maid. The palace maid hurriedly took it with both hands. It was a heavy touch, and the palace maid couldn't help but widen her eyes. She opened the purse again, and saw that there were many gold leaves neatly placed in the purse, and it looked very good.
The palace maid has lived for such a long time, and she has never seen so many gold leaves, and immediately a few traces of greed flashed in her eyes, holding the purse in both hands, and she didn't want to let go.
Just when the palace maid couldn't put it down, suddenly another hand reached out and snatched the purse back. The palace maid raised her head and saw Chu He's face.
I only heard Chu He say softly and slowly: "If you listen to the words of this palace and obediently don't look for King Wu, this reward will naturally be indispensable to you; If you don't look for it, this palace will have more means to deal with you. ”
This coercion and temptation had already made the palace maid dizzy. She was threatened by Chu He again, and she was tempted by the gold leaf in front of her, where did she still want to find Gu Zhiheng.
Therefore, the palace maid almost didn't hesitate anymore, so she nodded: "The slave will definitely not go to find His Royal Highness King Wu again, please rest assured."
Chu He carefully looked at the palace maid's expression, and saw that her expression was sincere, not like a fake, so he put his mind at ease, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.
"You're a smart guy." Chu He smiled and continued, "In this palace where people eat people and don't spit out bones, only smart people can live longer. ”
"Take note of what this palace tells you, and don't think about any disobedience. Otherwise, Hugh blames the palace for attacking you. After saying this, Chu He immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing Chu He like this, the palace maid seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly stopped him. Chu He thought that the palace maid was going to regret it, so he frowned and turned away, his tone full of impatience: "What, could it be that there is something going on."
"It's fine." The palace maid was a little frightened by Chu He's staring, but she still said with a smile, "It's just that the slave maid came in accordance with Concubine Qin's orders, if you go back empty-handed, how can you explain to Concubine Qin?" ”
"I see." After hearing this, Chu He's face finally soothed a little. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "What's the big deal?" Concubine Qin is in the cold palace, and the news is closed, so there must be no channel to know the news of King Wu. You just need to make up an excuse at will, such as going to find King Wu, but the door of King Wu's mansion is closed and no one greets you, isn't it good? ”
After Chu He's pointing, the palace maid suddenly realized, and her expression finally relaxed. Chu He's words solved her upcoming predicament.
"The slave knows, please rest assured." The palace maid nodded, and then left briskly.
She figured it out now. Concubine Qin is now in the cold palace, and with the plague, sooner or later she will die, and her status is not as good as before. I am blindly relying on her, and I can't guarantee that something will happen.
Looking at the person in front of him, he is not only the justifiable prince and concubine, but also in the limelight recently. In addition, there is no shortage of scheming means, in this palace, it can be said that it is like a fish in water.
Why did he bother to blindly oppose the crown prince and concubine for the sake of Concubine Qin? The palace maid quickly sorted out the cause and effect, and the trace of guilt in her heart, which was already shallow, also dissipated invisibly. She took a deep breath, her expression had returned to calm, and she walked lightly in the direction of the cold palace.
After a while, the palace maid came to the door of the cold palace. But he was not in a hurry to get in, but had been brewing for a long time. It wasn't until she felt that the mood was almost the same, and the palace maid made a look of tears and entered the palace.
Concubine Qin and Concubine Yu were originally waiting for the palace maid to come back with great anticipation. At this time, seeing that the palace maid had finally returned, a few traces of joy flashed in the eyes of both of them, and they hurriedly stood up, but their eyes suddenly stopped.
Concubine Qin frowned and looked at the palace maid crying, and suddenly had a little bad premonition in her heart. He frowned and asked the palace maid, "Didn't this palace ask you to go to find His Royal Highness, how could you come back empty-handed?"
"Back to my mother's words." This palace maid cried sincerely, and she was extremely sad when she looked at it, "The slave maid did go to find His Royal Highness King Wu as you ordered, but His Royal Highness King Wu ...... but the door was closed. ”
Hearing such a sentence, Concubine Qin suddenly felt that her eyes were dark. The fear and grief that had been suppressed erupted at this time. Concubine Qin couldn't hold back any longer, and even fainted on the ground. The anxious shouts of the palace maids around her, but she couldn't hear them anymore.
