[020]Avert the danger
"What, does it hurt?"
A word of no yin, no yang, no cold or hot came. Chu Yuan's heart tightened, and she looked up and looked into a pair of dark eyes.
Chu Yuan was shocked. She had walked hard, or was she seen as a flaw?
Nangong Che's eyes are so penetrating that he seems to be able to see how her foot injury came from. For a moment, Chu Yuan's heart stagnated and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."
Nan Gongche put down the imperial pen in his hand and hooked the corners of his mouth, "I heard that there is something wrong with the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?"
A trace of terrifying flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes. She looked at Nangong Che with wide eyes, and many questions suddenly arose in her heart. She knew not only because she was the empress dowager, but also on the premise of taking the initiative to report. Why did Nangong Che know so quickly?
Chu Yuan's heart moved and immediately knelt down. "I told the emperor that the Yongshou Palace warehouse was stolen. It was Chu Yuan's in poor care. Please punish me."
Nangong Che shook his head, "Did I say I would punish you?"
Chu Yuan looked up in consternment and was bumping into the deep ink pupil of Nangong. She muttered, "What does the emperor mean?"
Nangong Che got up and walked to her, "I mean, as long as you can find that batch of jade, I won't punish you. On the contrary, I will reward you."
Chu Yuan's heart just fell up again. She asked weakly, "What if I don't find that batch of jade?"
Nangong Che took a look at Chu Yuan with interest, "It doesn't matter. I won't hurt you."
Chu Yuan only felt that Nangong Che's tone was slightly different when he said this, but she couldn't say what was wrong. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Please rest assured, Chu Yuan will do her best."
Seeing Chu Yuan like this, Nan Gong Che nodded with satisfaction.
When Chu Yuan walked out of Qiande Palace, there was already a rush in the palm of her hand. She only felt that Nangong was extremely strange. She said that she would reward her if she found it, and she would not be punished if she couldn't find it. But why did she hear that there were many dangerous breaths in it?
Back to the Yongshou Palace, she was no longer in the mood to arrange other things. Fortunately, the basic problems have been arranged now. She called her to accompany her to the warehouse again, and then went to the Empress Dowager.
It's afternoon now. When she went there, Xiuhe was guarding at the door of the Empress Dowager's bedroom. When she saw her, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Where did you go to find your jade? Why did you come here again? It's useless to ask the Empress Dowager."
Chu Yuan was stunned and shook her head and said, "I'm just here to push the acupuncture point for the empress dowager. What does it have to do with asking for the empress dowager? As for finding that batch of jade, I will naturally try my best.
Xiu He raised her eyebrows and said, "The Empress Dowager is in good shape these days. She can't use you anymore. You can concentrate on your own things."
Chu Yuan was depressed, and the pain on her feet had not healed. She didn't bother to care about her for a moment. She immediately turned back to her yard. Looking at her aggrieved appearance, she was also distressed, but she took out a bottle of medicine from her body. "Girl, this is a good wound medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in Lanling. Just rub it on."
Chu Yuan didn't know that Zhuan Er was still carrying this with her. She immediately asked her to wipe it for herself. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something. As soon as she rubbed it, Chu Yuan felt cool and soaked her skin until it was painful.
"It's really easy to use."
Fallen "hehe" smiled, "That's natural."
Chu Yuan's foot injury was not so painful, so she calmed down and thought about what had happened before. Several things were connected. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter must not be something that a simple little person could do. When she went to see the emperor just now, he still had the same expression. Could it be--
Chu Yuan has no evidence and can only bury her guess in her heart. However, if the emperor really took her jade, what is the purpose? Just to embarrass her?
If she couldn't think of it, Chu Yuan simply didn't look for it. This matter was too strange. It was clear that someone wanted to hurt her. In this case, she didn't have to work so hard. In the end, there will always be the truth.
Without looking for that batch of jade, Chu Yuan spent her mind on the Empress Dowager's banquet. In modern times, as a star, she naturally attended a lot of large and small banquets. She thought about some elements of the modern banquet and used some elements of the modern banquet in this birthday banquet. More importantly, she wanted to arrange a special place for the Empress Dowager. Program.
She came to Siyi Bureau, specially drew a picture for them to make a dress, and then asked the musician and dancer in the palace, and agreed that the song would let them blow and dance. The whole Yongshou Palace was heated by her ideas, and she was also very happy.
Two days later, the program she prepared has been released on a scale. Similarly, she did not forget that this day was the day when Nangong Li sent news to the palace. Did she find a new batch of jade?
If not, I'm afraid she will plead guilty to the emperor.
It was a particularly difficult day. From noon, Chu Yuan diplomatically replaced the bodyguards and eunuchs at the Yongshou Palace Gate. As soon as the son of Nangong came, he came to tell her, but it was getting dark. She went to see it many times, but Nangong Li's figure still did not appear.
After waiting anxiously for a long time, suddenly there was a sound of small footsteps. Chu Yuan was overjoyed and ran out to see that it was not Nangong Li, but Qingzhu.
Qingzhu saw that her face was slightly bitter, "Sister, go to the Empress Dowager's place to have a look. Sister Xiuhe has gathered all the servants in the Yongshou Palace and said that she was going to punish you."
Chu Yuan's eyes changed and gathered all the servants?!
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager is going to deal with her!
Looking at the appearance of Qingzhu, and then looking at the gate of the courtyard where no one still appeared, Chu Yuan walked to the main hall with the hand of the pendant.
The long corridor seemed to be short. As soon as she got to the main hall, Chu Yuan felt that everyone's eyes had fallen on her. During this period, there were regrets, envy, jealousy, and a variety of eyes made the sneer at the corners of Chu Yuan's mouth rise high.
This is the warmth and coldness of human feelings. Many people have asked her for something, or wanted to get close to her. Now that something has happened to them, everyone has put on such a face.
"Chu Yuan, please give my best to the Empress Dowager."
Chu Yuan made a salute, and the Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "Oku, get up."
With this wave of her hand, Xiuhe's eyes fell on Chu Yuan. First, she bowed to the empress dowager, "Empress dowager, Chu Yuan set up a birthday banquet for you. It was hard work, but a batch of jade was suddenly lost in the warehouse the day before yesterday. Up to now, Chu Yuan has not explained it. According to the law, she made such a mistake, Xiao Ze If it is abolished, it will be cut off.
As soon as this word came out, Chu Yuan's eyes changed. She looked straight at Xiu He, and Xiu He was sharp in her eyes. She looked at the servants standing outside the door and smiled, "But Miss Chu Yuan treated you for the empress dowager, which really solved the troubles of people in our harem. Well, it's better to ask the Empress Dowager to be kind and drive her out of the palace.
Chu Yuan's breath was messy, and the Empress Dowager also looked at Chu Yuan in embarrassment.
Xiu He hooked the corners of her mouth, "Miss Chu Yuan has always been diligent in doing things. I don't know why she doesn't pay much attention to this matter. There is such a big difference. Usually, Miss Chu Yuan is a big girl in this palace. Now that something happens, I hope Miss Chu Yuan will also show the momentum of the big girl and dare to bear the consequences. . "
The Empress Dowager frowned, "Xiu He, Chu Yuan is different from others!"
Xiuhe was stunned and immediately turned around and knelt at the feet of the empress dowager. "Empress dowager, Xiuhe knows that you can't bear to punish her when she has cured your illness, but now the people in Yongshou Palace are watching. If you are exempted from her punishment now, what others will think in the future, please think twice."
A loud head of Xiuhe fell on the ground. Everyone was moved when they heard it. The discussion was getting louder and louder, and the chill in Chu Yuan's heart was getting heavier and heavier.
"Empress Dowager, Miss Xiuhe is right. If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
"Yes, such a large batch of jade is not a small number. If it is someone else, it should be cut off."
The Empress Dowager's eyes stared at the crowd, and finally looked at Chu Yuan's body. Her lips moved slightly. "It's just a batch of jade. I didn't pay attention to it. What are you talking about here!"
A soft drink burst out, and Chu Yuan was relieved. Anyway, the Empress Dowager still helped her.
This Xiang Xiuhe did not forgive her, "Empress Dowager, you mean that we can all make mistakes at will in the future, which is too unfair to others!"
"Yes, Chu Yuan should be let out of the palace!"
"Yes, drive her out of the palace!"
"Rel her out of the palace" came one after another, and Chu Yuan's heart sank. She only felt that the overwhelming cold arrows were attacking her, making her almost unable to breathe.
"Who wants to drive Chu Yuan out of the palace?"
Suddenly, a fierce shout came. Such a familiar voice made Chu Yuan's heart move. When he turned his head, it was indeed Nangong Li in a blue shirt. His beautiful eyes were cold. He was standing at the door, looking at the noisy crowd.
Everyone was immediately shocked by this sound and dared not speak. At this time, why did the son of Nangong come?
Nangong walked slowly to Chu Yuan, saluted the empress dowager, and then looked at the servants around him with burning eyes. His tone was that Chu Yuan had never seen before. "Who said he wanted to drive Chu Yuan out of the palace just now?"
"You?"
"You?"
"Or you?"
His eyes changed, and he looked at the three who shouted the most fiercely. Under his eyes, the three people had been so scared that they knelt down for a long time. He hooked the corners of his mouth and put his fists in his hands. "Return to the empress dowager, Chu Yuan has found the batch of jade you need this time. Please don't punish her. "
The Empress Dowager's heart was naturally also surprised. She didn't expect that Nangong Li would come at this time. This posture was clear to protect Chuyuan. The corners of her mouth hooked, "Good boy, you haven't come to my family for so many days, but you came today. The family did not want to drive away Chu Yuan. It's the bottom. People don't know what to do."
Nangong Li's tone immediately changed as soon as he heard it, and then changed back to the unruly look of dang. "Li knew that the Empress Dowager would not drive Chu Yuan out of the palace so cruelly. The main reason is that these servants were too blind. If anyone dares to spend more flowers, I would definitely come to see the Empress Dowager every day."
The Empress Dowager hooked the corners of her mouth, "Don't say that. If you say so, they can't wait for you to come more."
The Empress Dowager didn't want to do anything about Chu Yuan. Now after this section of Nangong leaving the rescue site, Chu Yuan naturally escaped without a doubt. Under the leadership of the guards, the servants of the Shizi Mansion moved batches of jade into the Yongshou Palace. The good Hetian Yuliang blinded the eyes of the wind.
Nangong Li chatted with the empress dowager and said that she had something to leave. Chu Yuan looked at the empress dowager. The latter naturally knew what she meant and waved her to her to send Nangong Li out.
Walking out of the Yongshou Palace, Chu Yuan exhaled deeply, "Nan Gongli, why are you so powerful? How did you get those jades?"
Nangong Li looked at the corners of her mouth and said, "Do you want to know?"
Chu Yuan nodded without hesitation, and Nangong Li smiled, "This batch of jade is really not easy to say. As for how it came from, naturally someone will tell you that I will not take this credit."
At this time, Chu Yuan was even more surprised. Hearing Nan Gongli's words, didn't he find this jade?
"Did you find this jade or someone else? You said you didn't take this credit, but I only know you in Dayan. Who else?"
Nangong Li looked at her and laughed loudly, "That man works so hard for you, but you can't think of him at all. Well, I won't tell you. It's okay for you to think more."
Chu Yuan is even more puzzled, that person? Who is it?
Nangong Li gradually smiled and said, "Tell me, do you have any news about your sister?"
Chu Yuan was stunned and remembered that she didn't tell him anything. She looked around. "The emperor suddenly announced that I was going to the Phoenix Yufei Tower and said something else. I thought the queen was there, but when I went alone at night, there was no one there at all."
Nangong Li immediately changed his color, "When did this happen?"
Chu Yuan knew that she should have told him last time. At this time, it was inevitable that there was some reason, and the momentum of speaking was much weaker. "It was just before the last accident."
Nangong Li looked at her and sighed, "Well, I just want to tell you that the emperor's mind is very delicate. Don't play tricks in front of him, otherwise, I can't save you."
Chu Yuan nodded, "I understand. I will be careful next time."
Looking at Nangong Li's tired face and revolutionary friendship, Chu Yuan also asked very kindly, "What's going on? How is the princess recently? "How are you, prince?"
It's okay not to ask this. When I asked Nangong Li, she was a little angry. "Recently, my mother is going to visit my father. It's just because there is something wrong with my father's army. She is not worried. I'm really worried. I originally wanted to follow her, but the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is coming, and we always have to leave someone in our house to celebrate her birthday."
Chu Yuan nodded, "It should be so. I believe that King Dingbei has gone through so many big winds and waves, and there must be no problem this time!"
Nangong Li sighed, "Hope."
Another explanation was made to Nangong Li go out of the palace. Chu Yuan's heart fell to the ground, and the whole person was relaxed. When she returned to the Yongshou Palace, the servants in the whole palace looked at her with strange eyes.
Chu Yuan knew what they were thinking. The scene just now must have fallen into the eyes of the interested person. Everyone in the Yongshou Palace knew that the Empress Dowager intended to give Shangguan Yunxu to Nangongli, but I'm afraid that this place she is playing now has affected this decision.
Thinking of Shangguan Yun, Chu Yuan remembered that the last time she went to see her, she seemed to be imprisoned. In the past few days, she was busy with her own affairs and forgot her. She slapped her forehead and planned carefully. Anyway, she had to see her again!
Chu Yuan made up her mind that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet had gone through the last time. This time, she must not be careless. She re-entered the warehouse and sorted out the newly moved jade, and then told the guards to guard them carefully, and finally left at ease.
Back to his yard, she was waiting at the gate of the yard because she came back early. At this time, she came and quickly greeted her. "Well, what did Nangong Shizi and the girl say?"
Chu Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you want to know, why don't you follow me?"
The pendant shook his head, "The pendant is just asking, where did the girl think of?"
Chu Yuan went in with her son and said as she walked, "I just asked him where this jade came from?"
"What did he say?"
It is rare for Chu'er to look so eager. Chu Yuan looked at it and naturally suspicious, "Chinger, there's nothing wrong with you!"
The pendant smiled, "What's wrong with me--"
"It's rare to see you look so anxious. Are you interested in jade or the son of Nangong?"
Huan'er was slandered in her heart. She was interested in the person who sent you jade, but she didn't dare to say it. She immediately said, "So many jade is not easy to find. Girl, tell me quickly."
Chu Yuan sighed, "I'm the same as you think. It's a pity that Nangong Li didn't tell me the origin of the jade at all."
"O-"
The pendant often sighed, not like disappointment, but as if a sigh of relief. Chu Yuan was shocked. She only felt that between the lightning, an inspiration flashed in her mind, and an idea flashed, but she was not caught by her.
In Qiande Palace, Nangong Che was playing with a white jade flute in his hand. He hooked the corners of his mouth, "So is it true that Nangong Shizi sent jade to Chu Yuan to save her?"
"Exact"
Nangong Che nodded and blew the flute across his lips. The melodious sound of the flute echoed at night, as if it was entangled with continuous feelings, and a trace of it scattered into the heart of a lover, which was so thick and could not melt in your blood.
Nangong Che leaned against the window and stared at the window. There was no usual arrogance on his body. On the contrary, he was extremely soft, as if the eyes were not the stars in the sky, but the eyes of a lover. Eunuch Fu stood behind him with a slight sigh on his face.
The sound of the flute suddenly became sobbing, like a whisper between lovers. If someone is interested, there will be tears in his eyes, but there is a chill in Nangong's eyes. At the end of the song, he slowly raised the jade flute in his hand and said with interest, "The flute made by He Tianyu is really good."
