[018] sudden change
The huge fear surged up from Chu Yuan's limbs and bones, and there was no queen sister in her imagination in this small room!
"Meow--"
With another howling, Chu Yunqing only felt a chill from the soles of her feet, which instantly made her legs soft. She didn't have time to look at the decorations in the room and hurried to the top of the stairs. The heavy curtain brushed over her face, bringing a creepy feeling.
She walked very fast, the heavy bead curtain rubbed and made a rustling sound, and the erratic shadow fell on the ground. Chu Yuan's eyes were full of such strange pictures, which made her more afraid, and her steps were much faster.
Seeing that she was about to run to the top of the stairs, I didn't know if she was walking too fast or there was something under her feet. She staddled straight to the side and fell down.
She didn't have time to scream. Fear seemed to occupy all her thoughts at this time. She stood up with one hand and no longer dared to look back at the darkness behind her. She rushed downstairs in a hurry.
Her steps were messy, and the stairs became endlessly long under her feet at this time, and the night wind sobbed behind her, as if there was some ghost following her.
Chu Yuan held the armrest and did not dare to stop. She went straight down from the third floor to the first floor. It was not until the moment the door opened that she saw the moonlight in the garden that her heart fell down.
At this time, she felt a tingling pain in her ankle. She felt it slightly and said that she was injured when she fell on the third floor.
Chu Yuan did not dare to stay any longer at this time. She carefully closed the upstairs door, opened the courtyard door and looked out for a moment. She didn't squeeze out of the door until she was sure that everything was safe outside the yard.
At this time, there was silence in the harem. Chu Yuan limped to the Yongshou Palace for fear of meeting someone who would doubt her.
Along the way, every time she met the palace guard, she walked very slowly, but there was nothing wrong. However, as soon as she entered the Yongshou Palace, she greeted Qingzhu.
"Sister Chu!"
Chu Yuan's face changed slightly, "What's wrong?"
Qingzhu's face was different, and his forehead was sweating coldly. When he spoke, he actually cried in his voice, "Sister Chu, something's going on!"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuan's heart thumped, "What's wrong!"
Qingzhu was so anxious that his eyes were full of tears and he was about to fall down. "It's the jade I bought from Daqin. It was clearly there when I was count it earlier, but now it's half less when I order it!"
Chu Yuan's heart tightened, and her mind was instantly blank. Coupled with the pain in her ankle, she couldn't stand for a while.
"Sister Chu!"
Seeing her like this, Qingzhu quickly came forward to help her. Chu Yuan stood firmly with her hand and calmed down for a moment before she said, "Go and call the doctor first!"
Of course, there is a doctor in Yongshou Palace. Qingzhu helped her to the side of the side of the hall, and then ordered the little girl beside her to invite the doctor to come over. Seeing her tall and swollen ankles, Qingzhu's face was nervous, "Sister Chu, where did you get here?"
Chu Yuan naturally wouldn't say that she went to Phoenix Yufei Tower. She just shook her head faintly. "I just went to the garden for a walk. It's too dark and I don't believe it."
The doctor in this box knew that she was a celebrity around the empress dowager, which was naturally easy to diagnose and treat, and Chu Yuan also took advantage of this time to ask Qingzhu in detail, "When I asked you last time, you said that it was complete. Why is there a shortage of goods now? Those jades are specially made by the best Hetian jade of Daqin Lan's family. They are unique in the world. Did you make it clear at that time?
Qingzhu knelt down quickly, "Sister Chu, Qingzhu did order it earlier, but when I went to see it again tonight, I found that there was less jade. When I went back to read the list, Qingzhu must not be wrong. As for why I didn't see it, Qingzhu couldn't think of it!"
A cold light appeared in Chu Yuan's eyes, "No matter why I don't see you, first of all, this batch of jade can't be done at all without the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Now the Empress Dowager knows?"
Qingzhu knelt on the ground and shrank his body. He looked extremely scared. Hearing the words, he shook his head and said, "No, the Empress Dowager doesn't know about it yet. Sister Chu, don't worry."
Chu Yuan's heart was relieved, and then before the relieved breath was swallowed, a pink figure flashed at the door.
"Who said the Empress Dowager didn't know!"
Chu Yuan was shocked and said that it was not good.
It was Xiuhe who came. Her eyes turned around the room. Obviously, she saw Qingzhu's fear in her eyes, "Yo, I'm crying now. If there is such a big thing, you still want to hide it from the Empress Dowager? What a bold man!"
Xiu He's tone was cold, and it really seemed that she was going to kill her. The moment she saw Xiu He enter the house, she knew that she was not good. At this time, it was not surprising to hear this.
She watched the doctor wrap her ankles. After cleaning up, she waved her hand and asked the doctor to retreat first. She looked at the corners of Xiu He's mouth and said, "It's just a batch of jades lost. Sister Xiuhe is a person who has seen the world. Why is she so angry? Chu Yuan is responsible for this batch of things. Then Chu Yuan must have a way. Please rest assured to find the lost things again!"
Xiu He frowned. She was ready to accept Chu Yuan's plea for mercy. At this time, when she saw that she was so light and didn't take it seriously, she looked angry. She smiled, "Really? You know what the texture and weight of this batch of jade is. Since you said you could find it back, I will believe you.
After a slight pause, Xiuhe's eyes flashed with interest. "It's only because the Empress Dowager and the emperor trust you to hand over the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet to you. Now that you have made such a mistake, although I have the intention to let you go, I will delay the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet at that time. I believe you and I can't afford this consequence, so it's better to give you three days. If you haven't found the previous jade after three days, the Empress Dowager will not only offend you, but also the emperor will not forgive you!"
Qingzhu knelt on the ground and cried, but Chu Yuan listened to this in her heart. This Xiuhe pointed to give him three days. How can he find out the batch of jade?
She frowned and said, "Please don't worry, Sister Xiuhe. Chu Yuan will definitely not let her down. At the Empress Dowager's place, Chu Yuan will explain!"
The corners of Xiu He's mouth hooked, "It's worthy of Chu Yuan. Then I'll wait and see how you find that batch of jade!"
Looking at the back of Xiuhe's departure, Chu Yuan's hands were full of sweat. Why did the jade not disappear? Suddenly, her heart moved, and she looked at Qingzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Qingzhu, who has the key to the warehouse?"
