Chapter 178 Retreat
"You should get in touch with the Marquis of An Guo more these days." Chai Sujin said to Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan frowned, "Why am I in contact with him? Oh, I see, you tell me to keep an eye on him? Afraid that he will tip off to that Yu Zhende? Don't worry, sister, I will definitely keep an eye on him! "

Chai Sujin didn't explain further, just nodded and comforted Brother Xuan.

I went to see Nian'en again, and asked Nian'en to take good care of Brother Xuan, and to persuade Brother Xuan from the sidelines when he was impulsive.

Although Nian En is young, she has a calm and calm personality, which just complements the impulsive Brother Xuan.

When she returned to the main courtyard, she didn't see Zhao Yuanzhen, but only saw Chunlu who had been waiting in the main courtyard.

Chunlu's face turned pale, and there was no blood on her lips.

The first thing I said when I saw her was, "The servant girl should never be separated from the young lady again, and the young lady will take the maidservant with her wherever she goes in the future!"

Chai Sujin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Have the events of the past few days frightened you?"

Another palace change, another usurpation of power, and Yu Zhende's threats and intimidation, didn't they frighten these children.

Chun Lu shook her head, "As long as the servant girl sees the young lady and is with the young lady, she will not be afraid of anything. The maidservant will dare to do whatever the young lady asks the maidservant to do. But when the young lady is not here, the maidservant seems to have lost her backbone and panics." .”

Chai Sujin looked outside at the sun that was already in the west, and sighed, "Now your young lady is going to enter the palace, and go back to the place where you escaped just now, do you still dare to go?"

"Dare! As long as you are with Miss!" Chunlu replied immediately.

Chai Sujin immediately asked someone to prepare a car, and went to the Golden Chamber Pavilion, the library in the palace, before the palace gate was locked.

Yu Zhende gave it three days, the time is limited and should not be wasted.If she hadn't been worried about brother Xuan, she wouldn't even come back this trip.

On the way to the palace, she still saw some fear on Chun Lu's face.

Asked her, but she was very determined, she must be with her, no matter what, she would not be separated.

Chai Sujin didn't force her, Chunlu couldn't read a few words, and Yu Zhende shouldn't care if he wanted to take her to the Golden Chamber Pavilion together.

The master and servant arrived at the Golden Chamber Pavilion, and the guarding soldiers and palace guards had obviously accepted the order and let them in.

Chai Sujin immediately looked for it.

The size of the Royal Library can be imagined, even the slips are expensive, and there are more than ten thousand volumes of books here.

Fortunately, most of the royal collections are very particular, using either high-quality silk, animal fur, or extremely tough and exquisite paper.

But writing a book in the Chai family in Fangcheng naturally didn't use such good materials.

Yu Zhende once said that he did not transcribe the Pharmacopoeia, only an original work.

"It's ordinary paper. Do you still remember the book I used to read when I was at home? It looks almost the same as that book. Take it when you see it." Chai Sujin said.

Chunlu nodded repeatedly.

The master and servant went to find each other separately.

She has never seen what the next "Pharmacopia" looks like, so this account is just a guess.

The sky darkened.

The Jingui Pavilion was eerily quiet inside and outside.

A few dimly lit candles were lit in the Golden Chamber Pavilion.

Occasionally, there is the sound of light footsteps, sounding in places where the lamps and candles can or cannot shine.

The subtle sound of flipping books made the entire Golden Chamber Pavilion even more empty and silent.

Chunlu hugged the books, and put all the books that she thought were similar in appearance to the table at the end of the Golden Chamber Pavilion. She was not sure whether there were any books that the young lady was looking for.

Chai Sujin stopped and went, but did not find the Pharmacopoeia, but in these books, he saw several rare medical books that he had never seen before.

She cherished it in her bosom, for the future to take a look at it slowly.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The wind blew the window lattice and made a whining sound.

Chunlu couldn't help shivering, "Miss?"

She didn't see Chai Sujin's figure, but felt a sense of coldness and determination, and couldn't help but feel a little trembling.

She called out, but no one answered.

It seemed that the huge Golden Chamber Pavilion was cold and only she was left alone.

Chun Lu was startled, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, "Miss, where are you?"

She screamed.

The window slammed.

In the silence of the night, it looked particularly frightening.

"Here, what's the matter?" Chai Sujin raised her head from the side of the book and responded.

Chunlu hurriedly searched for the sound, and when she saw Chai Sujin's figure, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, miss, the maid just called you, why didn't you agree?"

Chai Sujin pursed her lips and smiled, "This is the palace, the royal library, and a place full of righteousness. What are you afraid of? I was fascinated by reading just now, maybe I didn't hear it."

Chunlu patted her chest and exhaled, "Is the imperial palace definitely a place with awe-inspiring righteousness? Don't you think that..."

Chai Sujin was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "You're right, the people who hold power in the imperial palace are not very righteous people, so how can they expect the imperial palace to be stable and peaceful?"

Chun Lu shook her head, "The people above will never see the sufferings of those below. No matter who sits on the throne, there will always be places that cannot be illuminated by candles, and there will always be dark places."

Chai Sujin smiled lightly, "You are quite emotional tonight."

Chunlu lowered her head, sighed long, and said in a very low voice, "In the past, my father and grandfather were all in this palace, and they were cautious in everything, but in the end they were inevitably beaten and expelled... People at the bottom will always be If we want to survive in the cracks, no matter who is the emperor, what difference does it make to us?"

After she finished speaking, the candlelight in the Golden Chamber Pavilion seemed to flicker.

Chai Sujin didn't respond to her words.

Chunlu raised her head to look at the young lady, but she saw that the young lady was buried in the book in her hand again.

He quickly put one back in his left hand, and took another one in his right hand. He had already opened it without delay.

Chun Lu let out a sigh of relief, rubbed her hands together, "Miss is working so hard and concentrating on finding books, the servant girl can't be lazy."

After finishing speaking, she trotted back to the shelves she was rummaging through, and looked at them row by row, and quickly took down the ones that looked similar to what the lady explained.

The sky was getting brighter, and the bookshelves the two had found were less than [-]% of the Golden Chamber Pavilion.

The Golden Chamber Pavilion is very large and has a large collection of books.

Chunlu's method was quick, but she only searched for less than half of a shelf.

There are also many collections of books on the second and third floors.

Chai Sujin rubbed her sore eyes, stayed up all night, under the dim light again, her eyes were already exhausted.

Just rubbing it like this made me cry sorely.

"Miss, you can rest for a while, the servant girl is here to look for you." Chunlu said distressedly.

"You didn't close your eyes all night, I'm not tired." Chai Sujin rubbed her eyes, stared again and continued to search.

She looked back at the Golden Chamber Pavilion, and Chunlu found books with similar shapes, but there were quite a few.

She frowned and sighed, "I can't keep looking like this."

"Huh?" Chun Lu was taken aback, then raised her head, "How can I find Miss?"

"You continue to search according to your method. I'll go to see the books you found. Is there something we're looking for?" Chai Sujin kicked the few good books she found that she couldn't let go of, and walked towards the table at the other end. .

Chunlu continued to run back and forth between the bookshelves.

She sat by the desk and quickly flipped through the books.

Chunlu's speed is very fast, running back and forth, seemingly tireless.When she was tired, she leaned on the bookshelf to take a breath, and then continued to work.

In order to catch up with Chunlu's speed, Chai Sujin had to speed up her browsing.

Worried that Yu Zhende would make a disguise on the outside of the books, she needed to open every book.

Although it is a brief introduction, a book is just a blink of an eye, but there are so many books here.

A day's work seems to pass in a flash.

She rubbed her stiff and sore neck, and when she straightened up, the sun was already in the west.

A little eunuch brought in a jug of water in the middle, but there was no one who brought food.

But the master and servant were busy looking for it, so they didn't feel hungry.

The books on the first floor have been searched roughly, but there is no sign of "Pharmacopia".

The master and servant went up to the second floor again, still using the previous method.

Most of the books on the second floor are exquisitely decorated, and some are even kept in book cases. If you want to check the contents of the books, you have to open the book case.

This took more time.

It's getting late.

Suddenly there was a grunt in the quiet Golden Chamber Pavilion.

Chai Sujin looked up.

Chunlu rubbed her stomach and smiled mischievously.

"I haven't eaten all day." Chai Sujin frowned and sighed.

Yu Zhende wanted her to retreat in spite of the difficulties, and deliberately refused to ask others to enter the Golden Chamber Pavilion to help, and did not give them food.Do you think she will shrink back?

"It's okay, Miss, I'm not hungry, I still have strength!" Chun Lu said with a smile.

"I'm just sitting here flipping through the books, but you have to search back and forth, and your physical strength cannot keep up." Chai Sujin sighed, "Forget it, let's stop here today, let's go back first."

Chai Sujin stood up, but she couldn't hide the unwillingness on her face.

"No, miss, no one comes at night, it's the most time-saving to look for, and it's a bit scary, but no one bothers you, so you don't need to go back." Chunlu quickly persuaded, "I'll go find a few more Come on the candlestick, light a few more lamps, and you won't be afraid."

Her stomach growled again, and she coughed to cover it up.
