As time passed by, Chen Shaoxuan became more and more panicked. He couldn't find a way out. He could only work as a handy eunuch in the dining room, secretly speculating on Leng Changxi's life, death and situation.
After so many days, he has never even had a chance to get close to the backyard, let alone go into the bamboo forest to find out the news. The longer time passes, the greater the possibility that his identity will be exposed. If someone discovers that the eunuch is missing,
I'm afraid that martial law will be enforced in the palace, and then it will be even more troublesome to take Leng Changxi away.
Everything seemed to have come to a standstill and stalled, leaving Chen Shaoxuan in a dilemma. In the end, he could only think of a sideways approach and decided to take a risk.
That day, he got up early and was the first to come to the dining room.
He thought he was the only one in the dining room, but when he arrived, he discovered that Subo, who was in charge of the dishes, was also there.
Chen Shaoxuan's heart sank slightly, and he quietly hid something in his hand into his sleeve pocket, pretending to be nonchalant, walked to the dining room, and said hello to Uncle Sub: "Uncle Sub, it's so early!"
Seeing Chen Shaoxuan, a strange color flashed across Sub Bo's eyes. He nodded gently and asked Chen Shaoxuan: "Little Liz, the sun is coming out in the west today? I've never seen you get up so early!"
"I secretly drank some tea last night, but I couldn't sleep well!" Chen Shaoxuan scratched the back of his head and pretended to be innocent, but he was more wary in his heart.
"You are really comfortable!" Sub Bo looked at Chen Shaoxuan meaningfully.
Chen Shaoxuan's heart thumped, but his expression remained calm: "It's not as comfortable as Uncle Su. Uncle Sub came to the dining room so early. What did he cook?"
"It's not delicious." Subo smiled indifferently, but said something strange: "It's just a blue dragon crushing a white tiger."
If others heard this, Monk Erzhang would probably be confused and confused, but in Chen Shaoxuan's ears, it aroused joy in his eyes.
As soon as he heard Sub Bo's words, Chen Shaoxuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately added: "The red bird pecked the Xuanwu."
Suddenly, Sub Bo raised his head and looked at Chen Shaoxuan. A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and saluted Chen Shaoxuan respectfully: "Pavilion Master!"
This change was unexpected by Chen Shaoxuan, but it was also what he expected.
"Are you the person that Grandma Wang arranged in the palace?" There was a smile on Chen Shaoxuan's lips, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't find the source of the inquiring look in his eyes for the past few days.
I was worried, but now I can finally have a worry-free future.
Sub Bo nodded: "I heard the news before that the Pavilion Master will enter the palace in person. When I first met the Pavilion Master, I was still a little skeptical. It wasn't until today that I decided to test it out. I didn't expect that it was really the Pavilion Master!"
"If I can see you in the palace, things will be much easier to handle!" Chen Shaoxuan patted Sub Bo on the shoulder with a smile.
This Uncle Sub had been in charge of the Wende Palace all year round and knew many things in the palace. Chen Shaoxuan naturally asked him about Leng Changxi's affairs.
"Speaking of this Miss Leng, I really have some impressions. Last year, when Mr. Yuan brought Miss Leng into the palace, he placed her in the Wende Hall. At that time, he was extremely doting on her. I don't know what happened later.
What happened? Miss Leng suddenly disappeared. She was not brought back to the palace until a year ago. It’s just that this time after she came back, she didn’t seem to be as lively as before. I don’t know what happened...
..." Sub Bo knew everything he knew about Chen Shaoxuan and told him everything.
But he really knew very little about Leng Changxi. Chen Shaoxuan didn't know much about many things. He only knew that Leng Changxi was in the bamboo forest. As for what kind of person she was, Su Bo didn't know.
.
"Uncle Sub, regarding the assassin in the side hall that night, do you know who it was?" Chen Shaoxuan frowned after listening to Uncle Sub's account and continued to ask.
"Pavilion Master, I only heard about what happened that night. A person with my status is not qualified to enter the side hall. Later, Young Master Yuan issued a hush-hush order not allowing anyone to discuss the assassination incident that night in private."
Subo shook his head, looking guilty.
Chen Shaoxuan frowned and pursed his thin lips. He looked at Sub Bo for a long time and said, "Uncle Sub, I must go to the back garden to confirm!"
"But there are experts ambushing and watching in the back garden, Master Yuan won't let anyone get close. Otherwise, I would have found out the news a long time ago." Subber shook his head gently, sighed and asked, "Or is it the master of the pavilion?"
Any good ideas?"
"There is a way, but it's a bit risky." Chen Shaoxuan's eyes flashed with light, and then he took out a small paper bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Sub Bo: "I remember that Taohong would taste food in the dining room every day.
Please help me put this packet of croton powder into the meal."
When Sub Bo heard this, his eyes suddenly shone: "Pavilion Master, you mean..."
Chen Shaoxuan nodded slowly: "I know that Tao Hong has some skills, so I can only take a gamble."
Sub Bo nodded firmly and took the croton powder from Chen Shaoxuan's hand.
At this time, it was already getting late, and several more people came in one after another in the dining room. Chen Shaoxuan changed the subject and chatted casually with Sub Bo before going to work.
As noon was approaching, Taohong came to the dining room on time again. Chen Shaoxuan saw her figure from a distance, his eyes twinkling slightly.
He deliberately walked up to Taohong and said earnestly: "Sister Taohong, you are here!"
"Yeah!" Taohong snorted, her eyes drifting from Chen Shaoxuan indifferently.
Chen Shaoxuan didn't mind and continued: "Today's dishes are very rich! Sister Taohong, you are in for a treat!"
"It's not for me to eat, what's the point of eating it?" Taohong curled her lips, smiled, walked to the dining table, glanced at the food on the table, picked up the silver chopsticks on the side and inserted them into the dishes one by one.
, looked at the colors carefully and found nothing unusual, then tried another bite one by one.
But just as she was putting the meal into the box, her stomach suddenly made a rumble. The abdominal pain came so suddenly that she frowned.
Chen Shaoxuan had been observing secretly from the side for a long time. Seeing her pale face and sweat dripping from her forehead, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister Taohong, what's wrong with you?"
Tao Hong felt suspicious. She glanced around the dining room, but did not find anyone suspicious. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
"There is a toilet behind the dining room, go there quickly!" After hearing what she said, Chen Shaoxuan pretended to be a little plum and said enthusiastically.
"But this meal..." Taohong glanced at the meal in confusion.
Chen Shaoxuan hurriedly responded: "If Sister Taohong is at ease, I will go and deliver it to you."
When Taohong heard what he said, she immediately looked at him deeply and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she couldn't resist the abdominal pain and could only quickly explain: "You can't go in the bamboo forest. You put the lunch box outside the bamboo forest.
Of course someone will come and get it."
Seeing Chen Shaoxuan nod, Taohong quickly turned around and ran towards the latrine.
Chen Shaoxuan, on the other hand, quickly and quietly took out the dish with crotons and walked to the back garden with an uneasy heart.
