Chapter 379: The House Leak Happened to Rain Overnight (I)
Cao Yi's proposal was very tempting, which made Chen Ao's heart move, and he almost agreed to it.
But when he thought about it, Cao Yi could help him rescue Zhao Ling? Cao Yi himself had to stammer with Zhao Heng, and he dared to take the risk to save people? He was willing to give up the status and benefits he had obtained now?
Chen Ao suddenly came to his senses. He has a clear understanding of himself, and with his current status and ability, it is impossible to help Cao Yi at all.
Chen Ao couldn't guess why Cao Yi deliberately showed favor to him, but he could vaguely think that there must be some secret in this.
Chen Ao looked at Cao Yi's eyes, shook his head slightly, and said, "Cao Yi, if you want to use me to engage in some conspiracy, then you have made a mistake. Zhao Ling, I will save myself, thank you for your kindness!"
He got up and left. Cao Yi's brows furrowed, and he looked at Chen Ao's back coldly, and he was relieved after a while. He should have thought that Chen Ao would reject his proposal. If Chen Ao didn't have such a tenacious character, he wouldn't have bumped into him recklessly alone and lost his life.
Elder Mo watched Chen Ao go out and couldn't help but say, "Helper, this Chen Ao is too ignorant of lifting......
Cao Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young people, you will be sensible when you touch a nail." ”
Chen Ao left the small courtyard in a daze and walked along the path. His words were indeed very strong, but as soon as he left the small courtyard, the breath in his chest leaked down.
He didn't know how to save Zhao Ling, so it seemed that he could only forcibly break into the palace according to Feng Hu's thoughts.
Unconsciously, Chen Ao walked to the Hanlian Pavilion again. The two guards at the door had already recognized Chen Ao, and with a knowing smile on their faces, they saluted, "Hello Chen Gongzi!"
The two of them had already regarded Chen Ao as Yunlu's guest in the curtain, and their attitude was naturally much more polite.
Chen Ao suddenly realized and muttered to himself, "Why did I come here?"
He suddenly remembered Yun Lu's beautiful face, his heart jumped, and he suddenly wanted to tell Yun Lu about the depression and irritability in his heart.
So Chen Ao nodded and walked into the Hanlian Pavilion. There was no one in the yard, so it must have been in the bamboo building. Chen Ao walked forward along the winding path, bypassing the bamboo forest, and suddenly saw a person standing at the door of the bamboo building, who was Zhao Heng's personal guard Duan Gang!
Duan Gang was very vigilant, and when he saw that it was Chen Ao coming, a friendly smile actually appeared on his cold face. Of course, he knew that his master valued this young man very much, so he naturally had to be polite.
As soon as Chen Ao saw Duan Gang, his heart jumped, and he secretly thought, why did he come so early today?
Just thinking about it, I heard Zhao Heng's laughter from the bamboo building: "Miss Yunlu, I didn't expect you to guess my identity with a blue heart...... You're going to be upset......"
Then I heard Yun Lu say: "Your Majesty is laughing, it is a blessing for a little girl to be able to meet Your Majesty, how can you be unhappy?"
Her voice was very gentle, completely different from her usual cold and glamorous attitude.
Tong'er's crisp voice also sounded: "I can't imagine that Mr. Zhao is actually His Majesty the Emperor, it's really unimaginable!"
She was pleasantly surprised, as if she had discovered something very novel. But her words were a little rude.
Sure enough, I heard Yunlu reprimand: "Tong'er, don't be rude!"
Zhao Heng laughed and said, "It's okay, your master and servant are both strange women in the world." Wouldn't it be a great mistake to be bound by the world's rituals? It is because of this that I will hide my identity from you!"
Yun Lu laughed twice, persuaded a sip of tea, and asked, "Why did Your Majesty come so early today?"
Zhao Heng smiled: "If you don't go to court early today, I'll come to see you early......"
After listening to a few words, Chen Ao became more and more irritable. Originally, I wanted to talk to Yunlu, maybe I could relieve the depression in my heart. But now it seems that this is not possible. If he goes in now, won't he ruin their fun? And how should he face Zhao Heng? Do you still have to wag your tail and beg for mercy, hoping that Zhao Heng can pity him and let him live with Zhao Ling?
Chen Ao didn't stop at all, turned around and left the Hanlian Pavilion. A few days of hard work is nothing more than a bamboo basket to draw water. He could only laugh bitterly twice.
Chen Ao would not resent Zhao Heng, because from an emperor's point of view, Zhao Heng did nothing wrong.
He doesn't feel unkind. A woman like her with a stunning face should have maximized her strengths, both ancient and modern.
Chen Ao went down the mountain alone, entered the city and returned to the inn, it was already lunch time. He didn't have any appetite at all, and went straight back to the room, only to see Qin Lang standing alone at the door.
Chen Ao glanced up at him, and when he saw that he looked anxious, he asked, "What's wrong?"
As soon as Qin Lang saw Chen Ao, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Alliance leader, something is wrong!"
Chen Ao sighed, opened the door and entered the house, and said casually: "What else can be a big deal?"
Qin Lang said: "Miss Liang entered the palace, and she hasn't come out yet!"
"What?" Chen Ao didn't react for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he was suddenly shocked and angry, slapped the table, and said in a deep voice: "Who did it? Didn't I ask you to protect her well?"
Qin Lang winced for a moment and said, "I will never dare to be careless about the things that the alliance leader explained. Miss Liang was not arrested, but entered the palace by herself!"
"Huh?" Chen Ao was stunned, "What the hell is going on?"
"At first, Miss Liang saw that you were very busy trying to save Miss Zhao. She wanted to help, so she told me that after she left Liangcheng, she lived in Beijing for a while and made some good friends. So Miss Liang took me to the mansion of the grandson of the country. Lord Sun's eldest daughter was the emperor's concubine, and Miss Liang made friends with the youngest daughter of the Sun family. So Miss Liang wanted to follow Miss Sun into the palace to find out Miss Zhao's whereabouts......"
"Nonsense!" Chen Ao couldn't help but scold, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Qin Lang said: "Miss Liang asked me not to tell the alliance leader about this matter for the time being. She said that it is not certain whether this solution will succeed or not, and there is no need to tell you and distract you. ”
Chen Ao sighed, thinking that Liang Xiaoya was actually kind, and the words of blame could not be said.
Qin Lang said again: "It just so happened that yesterday was the day when Miss Sun entered the palace to visit her sister. So Miss Liang begged Miss Sun to take her into the palace to see and understand. Miss Sun agreed, so we stayed at Sun's Mansion the night before, so that we could follow into the palace together. Yesterday afternoon, Miss Liang pretended to be Miss Sun's maid and entered the palace. But I couldn't enter the palace, so I could only wait at the palace gate. It wasn't until it was dark and the palace gate was about to close that I saw Miss Sun's sedan chair come out. But when Miss Sun came to me, she told me that Miss Liang was missing, and she also blamed Miss Liang for causing her trouble. If you are caught as an assassin, it will be a capital crime! I can't think of it, and when I go back to the inn, I can't find you, the leader of the alliance. As soon as the palace door opened this morning, I went to inquire. However, there was no news that anyone had been arrested, and Miss Liang had not come out!"
