Chapter 356
The next development direction of the matter is exactly as Xiaoxiao and Xuan Fing expected.

Xuan Jue, who was at the end of the road, really had the idea of ​​Queen Mother Zhang and Chu Jin.

He ordered people to escort Empress Dowager Zhang and Chu Jin to Chaoyang Palace, but Chu Jin is not a fool, how can he wait for him to catch them?

After the guards entered Xianshou Palace and Xiefang Palace one after another, Empress Dowager Zhang and Chu Jin had long since disappeared, and the palace servants who served them also disappeared without a trace in the palace.

Xuan Jue ordered the guards and internal supervisors to search Diyuan City thoroughly, inside and out, vowing to find the two of them.

As a result, guards were everywhere in the east and west palaces, and they turned the east and west palaces into a mess like locusts passing through.

But in the huge Emperor Garden City, how easy is it to find two people?
So Qingzhu, Linglong and the others are fine.

There are a total of [-] slaves and maidservants in Diyuan City. They disguised themselves among the palace maids. Even if they searched one by one with their portraits, it would take at least three or four days to find them.

Not to mention the [-] internal eunuchs who are all similar in height, appearance, body shape and service.

At the beginning of the turmoil, Empress Dowager Zhang and Chu Jin each received letters from Xuan Ting and Xiao Xiao. The two of them made arrangements early, and after settling down the palace people around them, they both found a secret place to hide.

Originally, Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to take Chu Jin to hide in the cellar of Xianshou Palace, but although the place is secret, it is inevitable that some palace people in the palace will know about it. Once Xuanjue finds out, there is only one entrance and exit, and there is no way out.

After careful consideration, Chu Jin and Queen Mother Zhang hid in the cold palace.

Firstly, she had lived in this land before and was familiar with the intricate environment inside.

Secondly, Xuan Jue would never have expected that the two of them would condescend to hide in the cold palace and suffer.

The dozens of dilapidated houses in the Lenggong are not good places to hide. Chu Jin knew that a well in the west of the Lenggong had dried up, so she brought Mrs. Zhang here.

She picked up a lot of dead branches and leaves and threw them into it, and padded the bottom of the well closer to the ground.

She and Empress Dowager Zhang went down into the well, took some dead leaves and sewed them together with needles and threads, and told Empress Dowager Zhang: "If someone comes, we will put the dead leaves on top of our heads, and those guards will not investigate carefully." Lenggong, they won't doubt if the well is dry. In this way, we can avoid this disaster. When Concubine Zhang and the others enter the palace, we will be able to get out of trouble."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded slightly, her gray eyes were full of melancholy and helplessness, "Aijia never thought that one day he would hide his own son like a devil."

Chu Jin didn't speak, and only handed the dry food to Queen Mother Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang rejected her with a wave of her hand, and leaned her head against the well wall, looking up at the misty sky.

On this day, the two could clearly hear the commotion outside the cold palace, but no one entered the cold palace to investigate.

In the middle of the night, the movement on the long street subsided, and Chu Jin's tense nerves relaxed a little, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid they won't go looking for it tonight. You can sleep peacefully, and the concubine will watch over you." .”

Empress Dowager Zhang looked numb and nodded in a daze, but her eyes were still wide open, staring blankly at the moss-covered well wall.

Chu Jin understood the pain in Empress Dowager Zhang's heart, she didn't open her mouth to comfort her with pale words, she just clenched her hand tightly, giving her warmth within reach.

However, it is night, and the sky is not beautiful.

After a few hours, the dense clouds in the sky could not bear the weight of water vapor, and turned into ice and snow, flying down.

Snow flakes fell on the foreheads of Chu Jin and Empress Dowager Zhang, and were baked into ice-cold water by the body temperature of the two, seeping into the forehead hair drop by drop and falling slowly.

Chu Jin took off his cloak and put it on Empress Dowager Zhang, while she flinched aside with her arms folded in only the thin plain clothes.

Empress Dowager Zhang stared at her, took off the cloak and wrapped it around Chu Jin's body, and said, "It's not cold in Ai's house. You've always been afraid of the cold, so be careful not to hurt yourself."

Chu Jin smiled, and put the cloak in front of Empress Dowager Zhang again. Seeing that she was about to give in, she pressed the cloak against her body forcefully, "The concubine is not cold. If the queen mother is frozen, but the concubine sins."

not cold?

The reddened tip of her nose and the constant mist coming out of her nose had already betrayed her completely.

But Empress Dowager Zhang didn't push and push anymore, she moved to Chu Jin's side, snuggled up with her, and put the cloak in front of the two of them, "In this way, no one will have to suffer from the cold."

Facing her sudden intimacy, Chu Jin seemed a little uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips, and glanced at Empress Dowager Zhang, only to realize that her eyes were also wandering on her body.

Chu Jin quickly closed his eyes, while Queen Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Girl, do you hate Aijia very much?"

Chu Jin shook his head vigorously, "Why did the queen mother say that, concubine."

"Aijia wants to hear you tell the truth."

Chu Jin was cut off by her, and nodded after being silent for a while, "I can't talk about hate. I used to be a little bit annoyed by you, but later I realized that you are a tough-mouthed and soft-hearted master. The only remaining bit of annoyance is nothing to worry about." It's gone."

"Really?" Empress Dowager Zhang smirked, shook her head and sighed: "To tell you the truth, for a long time, the Ai family hated you very much. With you, the Ai family's sons will always see you, Not to mention the other concubines, even the Ai family's weight in his heart is a little lighter. The Ai family is only such a son, facing such a sudden change in him, he naturally feels uncomfortable."

"But gradually, Aijia understood a truth. When the child grows up, he always has his own life. He chooses to treat you as his only one, but it doesn't affect his love for Aijia."

Empress Dowager Zhang held Chu Jin's hand with a wry smile, "I'm sorry." Her voice was deep and muffled, as if trying to hold back the grievance in her heart, she squeezed out this sentence, "This sentence, It was Aijia who told you for him. You are a good boy, but he is not worthy of you."

Chu Jin held Queen Mother Zhang's hand instead, looked at her firmly, and shook her head vigorously, "It's not like that. Xuanjue treated me very well, and he never did anything wrong to me. On the contrary, he was the one who protected me all the way. Loved me, pampered me, and let me, who had never been a child, experience a carefree happiness. I always believe that this Xuan Jue is not my husband. I can feel it. A person's character It will change, his appearance will change, but the softest part of his heart, the frequency of his heartbeat, cannot be changed."

Perhaps this kind of rhetoric can make her feel better.

Queen Mother Zhang did not refute Chu Jin's words.

In the second half of the night, the sky became colder and colder, and Haoxue showed no signs of stopping, on the contrary, it became denser and denser.

Empress Dowager Zhang was older and had a cold from the cold, so she couldn't help sneezing.

Chu Jin blew on the fire, and warmed Queen Mother Zhang with a few sparks of fire.

She laughed at her stupidity.

But such a spark of light illuminates the last dark veil between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

There is no barrier between each other.
