Chapter 728: What Comes Is Safe
Knowing that those girls were frightened, Chu Xia took advantage of everyone's lack of attention and secretly winked at them, for fear that they would do something impulsive in a hurry.
Chunxia, Qiudong saw that she was fine, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and watched them take Miss Chu away. Although I don't know what her idea is, I am very worried. After all, this is a harem, heavily guarded, and there is no room for any difference, and they are not familiar with life here. If you get into trouble, you don't know how you're going to die.
They were suddenly very worried, was it a wise choice to let her enter the palace like this? Miss Li Ji is dead, she won't catch another Miss Chu, right? Thinking about it, my heart is even more bottomless.
"Forget it, let it be? Since this is Miss Chu's decision, we will listen to her." Qiu Ju comforted everyone softly, although she was also a little worried, but she would rather believe the woman. Because she felt that although Miss Chu looked similar to Miss Liji, her personality was not at all the same, as the so-called character determines fate, she believed that Miss Chu's fate would not be as tragic as Miss Liji.
Soon another man came and took them to another place to wait. After all, this is the palace, and they don't know the way, so they don't dare to walk around, so they can only listen to their arrangements.
During the banquet, a man dressed as a guard quietly walked up to the prime minister and whispered a few words to him. I saw that after hearing this, Lu Zixiu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at the man behind him in disbelief, and asked silently with his eyes.
The guard's eyes were also solemn, and he nodded affirmatively. They have always been accurate, and it is impossible for them to make mistakes.
The stakes are big, Lu Zixiu didn't dare to make decisions without permission, and he also knew that this matter could not be said casually here. So he got up and walked to the emperor's side, and said cautiously and softly, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you, can I take a step to speak?"
Jing Yuan was already in turmoil, and glanced at the prime minister unhappily when he heard this, this Lu Zixiu has always been the most well-behaved, and on this occasion today, what kind of excitement did he make.
However, although he was displeased, he also knew that the prime minister was a measured person, so he handed over the matter here to General Zhenguo, and temporarily left the scene amid the congratulations of the ministers.
Out of the main hall, a low and unhappy voice sounded: "Lu Aiqing, what is the important matter that you have to report now?"
Lu Zixiu saw that the people around him were all around the emperor, and he didn't care about it anymore, and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, Junyan sent news just now, saying that Miss Li Ji had died of illness two days ago."
His deep eyes darkened, and he naturally knew Jun Yan's strength, it couldn't be fake news. He didn't have much sadness about Li Ji's death, and it was originally just a shadow, no different from the portrait in his room, the only difference was that one was static and the other was moving.
But to his surprise, who is this person who appears today?
The heart jumped suddenly, and something flashed quickly in the phoenix's eyes. The hands under the sleeve robe were also clenched tightly, and the green tendons burst out.
There was an answer almost, coming out, but he didn't dare to believe it, although it was a strong feeling, but it was still impossible, because of age.
Lu Zixiu could see the struggle in the emperor's heart, but in fact, he was not struggling in his heart. But he also had a hope in his heart, so he took out the jade pendant that he had been hiding on his body.
"Your Majesty, do you see this?" The emperor originally drew the appearance of the jade pendant to show him, and asked him to look for it as it was, even if he couldn't find anyone, if he found the jade pendant, he could also find some clues.
The phoenix eyes swept to the thing handed to him, a pair of eyes suddenly widened, snatched the jade pendant, and checked it repeatedly, and the light under his eyes became more and more victorious. His heart almost rose to his throat, grabbed Lu Zixiu, and asked eagerly, "Where did you find this jade pendant?"
Lu Zixiu was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to be so excited, it seems that this jade pendant may be real, so he didn't dare to slack off, "It was a woman who went to Junyandang two days ago, saying that she wanted to investigate ......what happened ten years ago."
"What about the woman? Where are we now?" Before Lu Zixiu finished speaking, Jing Yuan eagerly asked again. How could he not be nervous or anxious? He had been looking for someone for ten years, and finally there was news, and he couldn't wait to appear in front of her now.
Lu Zixiu only felt
felt that the shoulder grabbed by him was about to be abolished, and he was pitiful for being a civil servant and had no martial arts. But he could only endure it, and continued: "The minister doesn't know, she heard the news after three days, and I have been waiting for her to come, wanting to confirm this matter personally, but she has never appeared, as if she suddenly evaporated from the world."
Holding his hand tightly, he suddenly let go, and his face gradually turned white. The hope that had just been ignited has cooled again.
Lu Zixiu, who escaped under the clutches of the devil, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the desperate expression on the emperor's face. Their emperor, has always been wise and decisive in other matters, but in terms of feelings, he is not rational at all.
So he could only remind him, "Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to say is that since Miss Liji is dead, will this one ...... today?"
Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to be infused with a divine power, and his mind was clear, like an initiation. Yes, since Li Ji is dead, that person is not Li Ji. And the strange feelings she had for her these two times should not be an illusion, but because she was originally Chu Xia.
Thinking of this, his heart was surging violently, and he didn't care whether it was reasonable or not, and he eagerly ordered Yun Fei behind him, "Yun Fei, go and ask where the girl Li Ji who came to dance in the palace today is now?" He couldn't wait, if she was really Chu Xia? No, she must be Chu Xia.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Although Lu Zixiu can basically be sure that the Li Ji just now is Chu Xia, because ten years ago, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning may not be able to remember her, after all, they were still young at that time, but he remembered it clearly, because he was already an adult.
But even so, without 100% certainty, he was worried, after all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. So I had to remind him when he was full of enthusiasm and let him stay calm. In case she's not, she won't be too disappointed.
But Jing Yuan seemed to be very sure, and said firmly: "There will be no mistake, she is Chu Xia, my feeling will not be wrong."
He only hated himself now, the last time he saw her, why did he run away, why he didn't want to face his heart, and just passed by her. Is she also waiting for him to recognize her, Chu Xia, I know it's you, this time I will never let go.
On the other side, Chu Xia was taken to a room, and when everyone left, he quietly opened his eyes. If she guessed correctly, the next lady should be coming soon, after all, she would not be willing to kill Li Ji.
Indeed, not long after, the sound of the door opening was heard again, and two people walked in. Chu Xia closed her eyes again, she wanted to see what she had in mind.
"Mother, she hasn't woken up yet. Do you want to wake her up?"
It's a woman's voice, and it should be the maid next to this mother.
Zhao Meng'er looked at the face on the bed, only to feel dazzling, as if something was blocked in her heart, and she wanted to tear her face apart. She was her nightmare, a nightmare that haunted her for ten years. She thought that she was leaving, as long as she waited patiently and gave sincerely, she could always get his heart.
But she was wrong, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change his mind.
She couldn't get rid of that person in his heart, but couldn't she get rid of this stand-in? But she didn't expect her life to be so big, she couldn't kill her once, this time she had to do it herself, she would never allow anyone to share that man, he could only belong to her.
snorted coldly and said with hatred: "No need, since she hasn't woken up yet, don't let her wake up forever." Did she think she could really escape the palm of her hand? I want to wait for the emperor to come and save her, dreaming!
Chu Xia's hand on his side clenched into a fist, he didn't expect this woman to be so ruthless, sure enough, she hurt Li Ji, this vicious woman, she would definitely not let her go. Zhao Meng'er's eyes were full of hatred, holding a dagger in one hand, and slowly approached the bed, today she must kill this woman with her own hands.
Caiying, who followed the concubine, felt a little unbearable, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, after following the master for so many years, I already know her temperament. No one can be safe after messing with her, even the emperor turns a blind eye to her. How dare these subordinates? It's not like you're trembling every day.
After all, he has practiced martial arts, right
The perception of the surroundings has always been strong. Just when Zhao Meng'er walked to the bed and raised her wrist to stab it hard. The person lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the white wrist, and suddenly stopped when he was only a few centimeters away from her face.
It's really dangerous, and she almost lost her life.
Zhao Meng'er was also shocked, she didn't expect her to wake up suddenly, and she didn't expect her to reach out so well and stop her. Gritting his teeth hatefully, he said, "You didn't faint?"
Chu Xia sat up slowly, and did not let go of her wrist, but instead circled around her body with force, and immediately reversed the situation, and the dagger that was originally on her neck was replaced by a dagger on the neck of the concubine at this time.
"If I faint, I don't know how I died."
Zhao Meng'er's face turned pale, and the hatred in her eyes still couldn't be concealed. Caiying was shocked at first, but she didn't figure it out, it was obviously her mother who wanted to kill someone, why did she suddenly become like this? When she understood, she said in a panic, "You hurry up and release the concubine, otherwise when the people come, you don't want to have a way to live."
Chu Xia sneered, but his face was not frightened and timid, and he sneered: "It turned out to be a noble concubine, I didn't expect that my little dancing girl could be so "taken care of" by you, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. Do you want to call people? Go ahead. But be prepared to come back and collect your mother's body. Even if I die, I'll pull a cushion, so it looks like I've earned it."
