The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 29: To Save or Not to Save (2)
Such jewelry is unique, and of course, the price will not be cheap.

She came here for no other reason than Li's birthday in three days. As a daughter, Chu Qing had to prepare a gift that was convenient for her.

In her memory, or the memory left to her by former Chuqing, every year on Li's birthday, she would wait outside the gate of Li's courtyard with a copper basin for washing.

On this day, she has to personally comb and tie her mother's hair, serve her mother to wash up, and prepare breakfast for her mother, etc.Chu Zhengyang was afraid that she would not know about these things, so he specifically instructed that since Li Shi was to be kept a secret, some specific habits could not be changed.

In Chu Qing's heart, since Li Shi gave birth to this body and now she occupies it, it is inevitable to be filial.Everything, in her heart at this moment, is like a transaction, an exchange of equal value.As for emotion... She hasn't figured out the meaning of these two words yet.

Today, Ming Liu was not accompanied, but Cui Cui followed, just because Cui Cui seemed to be very familiar with this shop, although Chu Qing was a little surprised how a little girl knew the rules of this shop, but she didn't think much about it.

As soon as he entered the store, he was greeted by an enthusiastic waiter. As soon as a beauty like Chu Qing showed up, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.However, she didn't care much about the eyes of everyone in the store, but instead focused on the neatly placed jade seeds on the counter.As a result, Cui Cui and the shopkeeper's flashing eye contact were also ignored.

"Miss, are you satisfied?" After a while, the shopkeeper in the shop came to Chu Qing with a smile on his face and asked softly.

The clear and quiet eyes lightly swept over the seeds, and finally fixed on the shopkeeper's face, making the latter froze for no reason.However, before he could respond, Chu Qing smiled sweetly: "These seeds are as beautiful as they are beautiful, but they are not transparent enough. I wonder if the boss has some treasures in his possession?"

Although Chu Qing didn't understand jade, he also knew that good things were often hidden in such shops.Although what I saw now was good, it still fell short of her standards.For her, it's either not to send, or to send what she is satisfied with. There is never the word "make do" in her heart.

As soon as she finished speaking, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed with excitement, and a moment later, he immediately led Chu Qing to the attic in the backyard with a smile. "Miss is really an insider. There are indeed some rare items in the shop, but it is not convenient to put them in front of the stage. Please rest here for a while, and wait for me to get them."

In a word, Chu Qing was thrown into a private room that looked like a wing room, and the eagerly leaving back made Chu Qing slightly raise her eyebrows.

Staying alone in the room, Chu Qing looked around, this room is very elegantly furnished, but it doesn't look like a place to entertain guests.Just as she thought of this, she suddenly realized that her little girl Cuicui hadn't followed her.This made her narrow her eyes. Ordinarily, her personal maid should follow her no matter where she goes, especially in unfamiliar places.

Things seem a little strange.Chu Qing finally noticed something strange, and her intuition told her that she should leave this place in time.However, just after taking a step, a sense of dizziness hit her mind, and she had to support the table to stabilize her body that was about to fall.

This sudden dizziness made Chu Qing's eyes meet the incense burner curling up on the table. The incense burner was burning in the burner, the purpose of which was to smoke the house, but at this moment it was clear that it had more than one function.

Snorting coldly in his heart, Chu Qing raised his hand with great effort, and with a wave of his arm, knocked the incense burner over the table to stop it from burning, then staggered down in front of the closed window, and pushed the window open with all his strength, After doing all this, she was exhausted and out of breath.Fortunately, the air outside the window allowed her to wake up for a moment after inhaling it into her lungs.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Qing looked vigilantly, only to see a man dressed in red and green with fluffy feet, with a wretched smile, eagerly approaching him.

In such a situation, even if Chu Qing is not clear at the moment, she can guess what will happen next.Now, she understands that this is a trap aimed at her, and the accomplice is her maid Cui Cui.

"Who are you?" Limbs were weak, Chu Qing could only lean against the window, constantly inhaling fresh air, to relieve the effect of the medicine in the body, and at the same time calm down to deal with this strange man.

Hu Shaoan seemed to have been reminded before, and he didn't want to spend more time with Chu Qing, he raised his lips with a lewd smile: "Miss Chu, don't waste the spring night, everything will wait until our good things are done, I will tell you before it's too late."

Chu Qing frowned slightly, and shouted in his heart: "No! '

She moved slowly, trying to widen the distance between the two of them, and quietly grasped the dagger that Chu Zhengyang gave her for self-defense with her right hand, but, with her current strength, she couldn't guarantee that taking out the dagger was for self-defense. , or self-mutilation.

"Miss Chu, don't worry, I will be very gentle." Hu Shaoan moved closer to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was very anxious. At this moment, he really felt that every day should not be done, and the earth was not working. He could only draw out the dagger and fight to the death.

Outside the window is a man-made lake in Anning City. There is also a small island on the lake, also known as Peach Blossom Island, which is a tourist attraction in Anning City.It's just that at this moment, it's not the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and people are mostly boating in the lake.

Because before Chu Qing opened the window, everything in this room fell into an exquisite painting boat in the lake.

Zhao Shenggao (Gao) sat cross-legged among them, with a jade chessboard in front of him, and a chess piece between his fingers, as if he was considering where to put it.

Suddenly I heard a sound of surprise in my ear, "Huh? ', let him speak lightly: "Yin Ji, what's the matter?"

The masked Meiji who was waiting at the side, dressed in a silver robe, held a white porcelain teapot in her hand, retracted her distant eyes, and lowered her eyes: "I seem to have seen the young lady of the Chu family."

Zhao Chenggao was taken aback for a moment, raised his clear eyes, and looked in the direction Yin Ji was pointing at. Sure enough, on the attic by the bank, half of a clear and beautiful face appeared in his eyes.Although she didn't wear a veil this time, she didn't know that the picture scrolls of the families of various merchants in Anning City had already been placed on Zhao Chenggao's desk.

"The other person is the young master of the Hu family." A guard with a sword next to Zhao Chenggao said.

After the words fell, Zhao Shenggao lowered his eyes, and his attention seemed to be on the chessboard in front of him again.The 'cry for help' on the shore fell on deaf ears.

Looking at the scene where Hu Shaoan grabbed Chu Qing's arm, Yin Ji subconsciously raised her hand to cover her waist.

"Yin Ji." The faint cold voice, with an irresistible majesty, made Yin Ji stunned, withdrew her hand, and lowered her gaze again.

But at this moment, Chu Qing, who was in crisis, had no time to think about other things, and could only resist desperately, the dagger in his hand had already been unsheathed, scratching Hu Shaoan's arm during the struggle, and the blood further stimulated Hu Shaoan's madness.
