female catcher

Chapter 221
After Xia Chu said these words, Yong Wei seemed to have failed to understand her meaning for a while, and looked at Xia Chu with a pair of beautiful eyes full of doubts, "I don't understand."

She didn't deny her relationship with the emperor from Xia Chu's words, but what is the future, what does it mean for those who are not sisters?
After Xia Chu said his words at the beginning, he felt more relaxed at this moment, so he said with a slight smile: "My servant's injury is about to heal, and I will ask the emperor to leave the palace after the injury is healed."

Yong Wei was stunned for a moment, then leaned slightly, "You don't want to stay in the palace? Why? Is it because of my palace, or...you don't like the emperor?"

"It's not that this servant doesn't like the emperor." Xia Chu folded his hands on his heart, thought for a moment, and organized his words before saying: "It should be said that this servant likes the young master who met this servant outside the palace, not the emperor."

"Oh...the emperor is the emperor, so it's a little hypocritical." After hearing this, Yong Wei said indifferently: "It's different inside or outside the palace, but it's a different place."

"It's not the same." Xia Chu shook his head, "The slaves are ordinary and have no skills. They can't help the emperor, and they can't be a virtuous interpreter. But the slaves are partial and narrow, and they can't bear the helplessness of the royal family. In the heart of the emperor, there are thousands of miles of land. The emperor outside the palace is as ordinary as the servants, but the emperor in the palace, the servants have nothing to give except looking up to them. The emotion that can only be obtained blindly based on a love is not what the slaves think .”

Yong Wei stared at Xia Chu intently, and said after a while, "You are really... very courageous."

Xia Chu smiled wryly, "This servant is not very courageous, otherwise she should have resisted the imperial decree. The servant was also indecisive. After entering the palace, her thoughts were muddled, and she failed to speak to the emperor early, which caused trouble for the empress. Now I only hope to make up for it. It's not too late."

She met Yong Wei's eyes, bent her lips and smiled, "This servant shouldn't have lied to Madam, but this servant really likes Madam, if he met in different places, he must be a very good friend." He bowed his head humbly, "The servant has offended."

Yong Wei almost blurted out a 'yes', but swallowed it back.There was a moment of silence in the hall before she sighed and said in a soft voice: "I understand what you said. But the emperor likes you, I can't disobey the emperor's wishes. I'm afraid..."

"Your Majesty misunderstood." Xia Chu hurriedly said: "The maidservant came here just to clarify her feelings with the Empress, and did not intend to ask the Madam to express her feelings on behalf of the servant girl. The servant servant on the emperor's side has already said so."

"Have you already said that?" Yong Wei was surprised, "Then what did the emperor say?"

"The emperor asked the servants to recuperate first, but he didn't give a clear answer." Xia Chu sighed softly.She hadn't seen Su Zhen since that day, and she didn't know if he was really busy or deliberately avoided seeing her.It's just that the words have already been uttered, and it's hard to take them back. It's impossible to continue to be vague like this.

Thinking of this, Xia Chu said to Yongwei again: "I will ask for an order again. No matter what, this is a dispute between my servant and the emperor, and it should be resolved by my servant. I only ask your mother to forgive me. Don't blame this servant for a while. If you are confused, don't blame Mr. Jiang for deceiving you in good faith, so the slaves will be satisfied."

Yong Wei nodded hesitantly, then smiled after a moment of silence, and said to her: "I only know that you have been a headhunter, and you are unreasonably courageous. Now I think you are responsible, not reckless. At the beginning of Xia, I It is true that I met you at the wrong time and at the wrong place."

When Xia Chu heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his nose was sore and he wanted to cry, he choked up his voice and said, "Your Majesty, you are flattering me."

After Xiachu left Fengyi Palace, Qianqian accompanied Yongwei to relax in the garden.Yongwei has been silent for a while, she doesn't know where her mind is floating, Qianqian couldn't help asking: "Mother, isn't it a good thing that Xiachu is going out of the palace?"

"Really?" Yong Wei pinched a leaf, stared at the thin veins on it and said: "In fact, her entry into the palace itself is a good thing. Without this experience, she would be an eternity in the emperor's heart that no one can overcome. "

Qianqian smiled and said: "That's true. Now that she has invited her out of the palace, if the emperor really lets her go, she won't think about it anymore. The empress should think more about it."

"But I still envy her." Yong Wei sighed: "If the emperor can fulfill her wish and let her go out of the palace, there is really no better love than this."

"Your Majesty..., this servant feels that there is no better love than this for you to suppress your temper and devote yourself to making this middle palace for the emperor. It's a pity that the emperor doesn't know about it."

"Yeah." Yong Wei threw the leaf in her hand and looked up at the sky, "I'm also stupid, so I just figured out one thing. I have to be a woman first, then the emperor's woman, and then , I am the middle palace. Qianqian, I seem to have reversed the order before."

Qianqian's eyes lit up, she looked at Yongwei and laughed.Yong Wei turned her head to look at her, blinked and laughed.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Chu asked Yuan Fang to help her put on a wig and prepared to go to the imperial study to start work.Yuan Fang heard her saying that she was going to serve the imperial court, so she stopped her movements and said, "What is Xia Dian in such a hurry for? The emperor told you to be quick." She put the hairpin on the table, "I I won't comb it for you."

"If it's good, how can you be quick? You'll become a pig if you raise it any longer." Xia Chu stuffed the hairpin into her hand, "I told Mr. An that I insisted on going there, and I wouldn't ask you for it."

"It's not Eunuch An, it's the emperor who ordered it himself." Yuan Fang didn't move, and said anxiously: "Just wait for two more days to be afraid of anything, the imperial doctor or the medical lady must say that you are quick, and you can say no." Calculate."

Xia Chu looked back at her, "When did the emperor give the order?"

"Just yesterday..." Yuan Fang quickly covered her mouth and fell silent, smiled wryly, and said falteringly: "Servant Xia Dian, the emperor actually comes here every day, when you are asleep, the emperor doesn't want me to tell you .”

Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and blushed and said, "If the emperor doesn't let you tell me, then you really don't tell me! This..., this is when I was sleeping..." She looked back at the bed, "This How embarrassing! Isn't this treating me like a photo?"

"Ah?" Yuan Fang blinked inexplicably, "What?"

"It's nothing." Xia Chu lowered his head and thought for a while, then sat down in front of the dressing table again, "Help me comb my hair, I'll go to the imperial study. I heard that the emperor is very busy recently, so don't let the emperor come here every day gone."

After being in the palace for so long, she has caused Su Zhen a lot of trouble. Since she is determined to leave, she should spend more time with him.Besides, Su Zhen is obviously avoiding now, so it's not a problem if it continues like this.

When Xia Chu arrived at the imperial study room, there were only some sweeping maids who were sweeping the dust. Seeing Xia Chu, all eyes with different expressions came over.Xia Chu was stunned by the sight, and nodded to them with a dry smile, "Morning..., well, the emperor hasn't come yet."

Quickly stepped forward to bless Fushen, held Xia Chu's arm and said with a smile: "Xia Dian waits for your injury, but be careful. Today is the day of the court, and the emperor will not come here until at least Chenshi , you go to the ear room to rest first, and the servant will call someone to serve you tea."

Xia Chu shivered and pulled her arm out, "No, no. My job is to serve tea." She moved to the side room, "You are busy with your work." After speaking, she lifted the curtain and slipped in.

Chenshi ago, Xiachu had boiled the water and brewed the tea.But Su Zhen didn't come when the time passed, Xia Chu changed the cold tea, prepared it again, and continued to wait.I didn't expect to wait until noon.

A Royal Envoy came over and asked Xia Chu to eat something first, but Xia Chu didn't go, so someone brought some snacks to make a cushion, and he was bored and picked tea leaves one by one on the table.

At three quarters in the afternoon, there was finally movement in the imperial study room, Su Zhen came.Xia Chu woke up, put the teacup on the tea tray and prepared to take it out, but Su Zhen said coldly: "Satisfied now?"

"Your Majesty, I don't care whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied. I just act impartially and have no intention of targeting."

Xia Chu heard this voice a bit familiar, turned his head and thought for a while before realizing that it was Yao Zhiyuan's voice.At this time, Yao Zhiyuan continued: "I am upright. Although I know that Mr. Jiang is a close minister of the emperor, but the matter of being loyal to the emperor, I must not allow people to cause harm to the court and the society."

Su Zhen sneered, "It's a merit."

"Your Majesty! I don't dare to be greedy for merit. The murderer was found out from the planting flower house. The matter is serious. The Jiang family is not willing to be a minister!"

"Master Yao never thought that this is planting?"

"If you don't care about your lord's business, it may be framed. Now there is no trace of Sun Youliang's report, but the record book of the Ministry of Education records that it was indeed received on July [-], and now Sun Youliang has been silenced. The corpses of Zuo Shilang of the Household Department and Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, are not yet cold. The Jiang family colluded with the bandits, embezzled military salaries, accepted bribes and sold officials, and assassinated officials. "

"Master Jiang is going to jail in court, I'm already calm enough." Su Zhen almost uttered these words through gritted teeth.

"Emperor Shengming."

After Xia Chu heard the words 'Master Jiang', she held her breath and listened. She couldn't understand what Yao Zhiyuan said, but she heard the charges and the words "imprison in court".In an instant, I felt chills all over my body, and I couldn't hold the tea tray steady in my hand, and the rim of the cup bumped against the tea lid and made a tinkling sound.

An Liang walked in with a worried face, saw the tea tray head-on and was about to take it, and then took a closer look to see that the person in front of him was Xia Chu, and couldn't help being stunned, "Why is Xia Dian here?"

Putting the tea tray on the table next to him, Xia Chu grabbed An Liang's arm and asked in a loud voice, "Eunuch An, what's going on? Why did I hear that Mr. Jiang is in prison?!"

"Hey!" An Liang thumped his palm, "Something happened to the court just now!"

"The few crimes I just heard from Mr. Yao are serious crimes. How could it be possible! How could Mr. Jiang..."

An Liang waved his hand, "You may not know that you are recovering from your injuries recently. Recently, three officials have died in succession in this capital. Mr. Gu was attacked again the night before yesterday. The murderer was found out from the Planting Flower Pavilion."

"So what? Where the murderer hides is the murderer's business."

"The bad thing is that the murderer is Hong Jing." Seeing that Xia Chu didn't understand, An Liang said, "The leader of the rebel army in Qingcheng County is Hong Jing!"

Xia Chu opened his eyes wide, his face turned pale, "Isn't the bandit leader dead?!"

"Isn't that what the Jiang family said about the death of the bandit leader?" An Liang sighed heavily again, and at this moment Su Zhen yelled An Liang in the hall.He replied that the servant is here, and hurriedly said to Xia Chu: "It seems that Master Yao is gone, I have to go out to serve."

An Liang picked up the tea tray from the table and was about to go out, but was snatched by Xia Chu.She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'll go."
