161. Should (below)(1/2)
"Your Highness? I have met Your Highness." When Chu Xiaolian saw the leader, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted him.
The clothes of the visitor are ordinary and not exquisite, but when you look closely, you can find that the fabrics are of high quality.
He is the second prince Zhou Shangqing, and beside him are guards wearing light armor.
"Well, Eunuch Chu." Zhou Shangqing nodded, then looked at Chu Yunqing with a smile, "You are, Chu Yunqing."
"Yes." Chu Yunqing cupped his fists and saluted, "I have met His Highness."
"Do you have something to do when you enter the palace tonight?" Zhou Shangqing asked casually.
Chu Yunqing nodded, but before he could speak, Chu Xiaolian on the side said: "That's it, my brother wanted to find a job, so I asked Her Highness Yao Fei."
"Oh, so we are going to the Moon Palace now?" Zhou Shangqing said clearly.
"Yes." Chu Xiaolian smiled and nodded.
Zhou Shangqing did not care about it, but looked at Chu Yunqing, "Actually, I want to ask, what happened to Huan Yu recently? Spring is around the corner, why is there no news about him?"
Of course Chu Yunqing would not say that Chu Huanyu's identity was exposed because of the "jianghu", and he would never continue to stay in the Imperial College due to his pride.
"His situation is a bit complicated, and I'm not very clear about it." Chu Yunqing said, "But in Chunwei, he will definitely attend on time."
"That's right." Zhou Shangqing nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, I will feel relieved. If he doesn't come, I will be very sorry for this year's No. 1 pick."
After saying that, he nodded to the two of them, turned around and left.
Chu Xiaolian looked at the backs of the group of people and couldn't help but said: "Chu Zhuangzi still knows His Highness the Second Highness?"
"Didn't you investigate me and don't know this?" Chu Yunqing said.
Chu Xiaolian smiled awkwardly, "This is just a little bit, so Zhuangshi Chu should not mention it again."
"I don't know him well," Chu Yunqing said.
"Okay." Chu Xiaolian didn't know whether to believe it or not, and continued to lead the way.
…
On the other side, Zhou Shangqing, who was walking through the corridor, paused, suddenly turned back, and glanced at the figure retreating under the moonlight.
"Let Lao He know, Chu Huanyu probably can't be won over," he said.
Next to him, the middle-aged man dressed as a guard, who looked ordinary and unattractive, was startled for a moment, and then nodded.
"Wouldn't it be a pity in this case?" He hesitated for a moment, then said: "After all, you have been fighting for it for a long time."
"Yes, it's such a pity." Zhou Shangqing sighed, and then said: "But Chu Huanyu and I should never meet again. Once he leaves, there will be no chance of meeting again."
"But there is also the Crown Princess..."
"Things between men are meaningless when it comes to women." Zhou Shangqing said lightly: "Especially the woman he likes."
The middle-aged man nodded, "I understand."
"In addition, Jin Yiwei, hurry up over at Yushitai. Time is not enough. We have to catch Su Zai in front." Zhou Shangqing ordered.
"Is it because of that person just now?" the middle-aged man asked.
"He is not a simple person." Zhou Shangqing smiled.
The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, "I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but I didn't see anything surprising about him."
"Have you ever seen any outsiders go to the Moon Palace except for the group of people who dumped the porcelain?" Zhou Shangqing said.
The middle-aged man's face was slightly condensed.
"Hurry up." Zhou Shangqing took a deep breath.
"yes."
…
Moon Palace.
The cold moonlight fell, and the palace was bright.
Chu Xiaolian entered first, walking a little faster, and made a report in front of the palace.
Ke Xin opened the door and came out, but she didn't look at him, but looked directly at the person behind him.
Chu Yunqing was a little surprised when he saw her dressed as a palace maid, but when he thought that she was brought into the palace by Concubine Yao, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Chu Yunqing!" Ke Xin came quickly, gritting his teeth.
Chu Yunqing nodded slightly, "Miss Kexin."
"What a good thing you did!" Ke Xin stood still in front of him, his eyes unkind.
"What?" Chu Yunqing was stunned.
"My aunt has been through a lot these days." Ke Xin said in a low voice.
In front, Chu Xiaolian's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the two of them, looking at them curiously.
"It is better to endure hardship than to die." Chu Yunqing said: "At least I have saved a life, cherish it."
After saying that, as if comforting the junior, the man raised his hand and patted Kexin's shoulder, and then walked forward.
"You!" Ke Xin wanted to jump up and punch him, but when she thought about her current cultivation level being banned, I was afraid that jumping up and punching him would be worse than acting coquettishly.
At this time, Xing'er also came out of the bedroom and frowned: "Why is it so troublesome for you to pick someone up?"
Ke Xin quickly bowed his head respectfully and apologized.
Chu Yunqing was really surprised now. What method did Concubine Yao use to make this girl so obedient?
No, I should say he is well-behaved, fearfully well-behaved.
Sure enough, to take care of a woman, you have to have a woman.
"Please come in, His Highness is still waiting." Xing'er glanced at Chu Yunqing and turned to the side.
Chu Yunqing nodded and stepped forward calmly.
Chu Xiaolian subconsciously wanted to follow him, but when he was at the door, his footsteps stopped.
He asked to the side: "Um, can I go in?"
Xing'er glanced at him angrily and went in first.
Chu Xiaolian felt relieved and hurried inside.
Kexin stamped her feet bitterly and followed in. The palace maid behind her closed the door with a low eyebrow.
…
Concubine Yao was lying in front of the desk, holding a scroll in her hand, her eyes as clear as the stars in the night sky.
"I've met Your Highness," Chu Yunqing said, cupping his fists.
He saw the expensive blankets spread on the ground, which seemed to be sent as tribute from Persia. They were all white, as if they were stepping on clouds.
Of course he didn't step on it and stopped just ten feet away.
"Chu Zhuangzi, it's great that you can figure it out." Concubine Yao chuckled, stretched her body and stood up.
Chu Yunqing's eyes were slightly lowered, not looking at anything inappropriate.
"My subordinates didn't understand the rules before and were negligent," said Concubine Yao.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaolian, who came in later, immediately bowed down and said, "I know my mistake."
"You have to tell Chu Zhuangshi about this." Concubine Yao said calmly.
Chu Xiaolian quickly bowed his head to Chu Yunqing, "Chu..."
Chu Yunqing raised his arm and said, "It's nothing serious. It's all over."
The smile on Chu Xiaolian's face was slightly humble, but of course it was not for Chu Yunqing.
It was at this time that Concubine Yao saw the slightly swollen corners of Chu Xiaolian's mouth, and she immediately understood.
"I wonder what I can do?" Chu Yunqing asked.
Concubine Yao obviously didn't expect him to ask such a direct question, but she blinked in appreciation and said, "Okay, Chu Zhuangshi is indeed a man of temperament."
"Just say what you have to say." Chu Yunqing said.
"The relationship between you and me is not solicitation, and what you are doing is not an errand, but a congenial spirit." Concubine Yao said: "However, although it is moral and moral, we cannot let your hard work go in vain. I will do my best to help you wherever I can."
."
On the side, Chu Xiaolian was a little confused, what is this statement?
Chu Yunqing said: "I understand."
"Okay, then I won't hide it anymore." Concubine Yao looked at him and said seriously: "I want you to assassinate the prince."
Chu Yunqing was stunned.
Chu Xiaolian's mouth opened wide, and then he trembled. He quickly looked around and found that the attendants in the palace had been dismissed by Xing'er a long time ago, and now they were the only ones in the palace.
Xing'er and Kexin were guarding the door.
