Su nodded and said: "Okay, seeing as you have been quite diligent in your work before, I will give you a chance. If you find Cai Ling before dark, I will let your matter be forgotten; on the contrary, I will punish you severely!"
Tang Jiu repeatedly promised, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely bring Cai Ling back to you for disposal. I will resign first."
After Tang Jiu left, Mrs. Su said to Ying'er: "Instruct the palace people to search for Cai Ling separately. You must find Cai Ling as soon as possible, otherwise all the efforts of this palace and you will be in vain."
Ying'er agreed: "I know that Cai Ling can't ask for the emperor's handwriting. She can only hide in a corner of the palace. Sooner or later, she will be caught."
When Yi Kun Palace sent people to look for Cai Ling, the latter appeared in the imperial tea room. After seeing A Luo, he grabbed her and said in a panic: "Sister, you must help me this time. If you don't help me,
, I will die, I will definitely die!"
A Luo was confused by her and said: "Cai Ling, please don't worry. What happened?"
Cai Ling was so flustered that she couldn't hear what she said. She just kept saying words of help. Seeing that this was not an option, A Luo took Cai Ling into her room. Although A Luo slept on the whole bed, at this time, everyone
I went to do some work, so there was no one else in the house.
Along the way, Cai Ling held A Luo's hand tightly and refused to let go. A Luo had to let her hold her hand, and then said: "Cai Ling, what happened? Why did you die? Who would have thought?"
I want to harm you."
"Chun concubine, it's pure concubine, she wants my life." Cai Ling narrated the story in a panic, and then said: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. I was pushed out. At that time, Ying'er
She was standing right behind me, she must have pushed me, this thing was a trap from beginning to end."
A Luo frowned and said, "Are you saying that the pure concubine took you to Yanxi Palace on purpose?"
"Yes, I was surprised at that time. How could she be so kind and allow me to serve by her side again? It turned out that she had set a trap for me to fall into. I have never seen such a sinister and vicious person. My sister said before that she would
Lift me up, hehe, she will only kill me!"
A Luo sighed and said, "I didn't expect that if I had known this earlier, I would have refused to let you go to Yikun Palace. Now it's like this. I don't know how it will end."
When she mentioned this, Cai Ling said in a panic: "Sister, stop talking about this and help me think of a solution quickly. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die. Apart from you, I don't know who else to ask for help."
.”
A Luo patted her hand and said: "Calm down, aren't I trying to figure out a solution? It's just that... the matter is so big, and you said that the pure concubine went to Cining Palace, she will definitely tell the matter.
It’s the Queen Mother’s fault. When the time comes...the Queen Mother takes the blame, no one can protect you.”
Cai Ling became even more frightened when she heard this, and said incoherently: "What should I do? Sister, help me, help me! Chunbi must have sent someone to look for me. If she comes here, I will die.
I will definitely die."
"Don't be so afraid, she..." Just as A Luo was mid-sentence, there was a knock on the door. Cai Ling jumped up and said in a trembling voice: "It's her, she must be here, what should I do?"
?What should I do, sister?"
"Hurry up and find a place to hide. I'll go take a look." After Cai Ling hid, A Luo opened the door a crack and saw Tang Jiu standing outside, asking, "What are you doing here?"
Tang Jiu opened his mouth and said: "I'm here to find Cai Ling. I know she must be here. Hand her over quickly."
A Luo refused and said: "Cai Ling has never been here before. Where can I find someone to hand it over to you?"
"You don't have to lie to me. Cai Ling has always been close to you, even closer than my cousin. She must be hiding here with you. Let me in quickly."
A Luo keenly caught one word in his words and said: "Cousin? Are you and Cai Ling cousins?"
Tang Jiu's eyes flickered and he said: "You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, you let me in." After that, Tang Jiu pushed the door hard. After all, A Luo was a woman and was not as strong as him. After a moment of stalemate, Tang Jiu finally broke in.
.
After Tang Jiu entered the house, he rummaged around for a while regardless of A Luo's obstruction, and finally found Cai Ling in the cabinet. He pulled her out and said, "You are indeed here. Come back with me quickly."
Cai Ling struggled desperately: "No, I don't want to go back, please let me go!"
Tang Jiu made up his mind and said: "Whether you are willing or not, you must go back."
Cai Ling grabbed the pillar so hard that Tang Jiu couldn't drag her out for a while, and said, "Didn't you let me go before? Why are you taking me back now?"
Tang Jiu said angrily: "I didn't know that what you committed was such a big thing. If I can't take you back this time, I won't have a good ending. I've helped you a lot, so just treat me as pitiful.
, follow me back obediently and don’t hurt me again.”
"It's not me who hurt the second elder brother, it's none of my business, you believe me." Facing Cai Ling's words, Tang Jiu said: "What's the point of trusting you? What's important is whether the master believes it or not."
"Of course she won't believe it, because the whole thing was designed by her. She deliberately wanted my life. Do you understand it or not?"
Tang Jiu was startled, and then he pulled Cai Ling harder, "I don't care about this, in short, what I have to do is to take you back."
Seeing how heartless he was, Cai Ling said excitedly: "You are my cousin, how could you treat me like this..."
"Can you blame me?" Tang Jiu interrupted her and said bitterly: "If you hadn't been unwilling to accept the status quo and did those things in front of the emperor, would you have ended up where you are today? You brought all this on yourself.
!" He paused and said in a pleading tone: "Cai Ling, I have done my best to you, so you should help my cousin and stop harming me."
A Luo suddenly interrupted: "Tang Jiu, do you think that if you take Cai Ling back today, the pure concubine will let you go?"
"Master said that as long as I bring back Cai Ling, the past will be forgotten." As soon as Tang Jiu finished speaking, A Luo chuckled, "Tang Jiu, you should have been in the palace for some years, why are you still like this?
You are so naive and ignorant, can you believe what those masters say? Especially... that person is still a pure concubine!"
Tang Jiu lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, I still have a chance of survival if I take her back. If I don't take her back, I will definitely die."
"If you take Cai Ling back, you will definitely die." As soon as these words came out, not only Tang Jiu, but even Cai Ling was stunned and looked at A Luo blankly, not understanding what she meant by that.
.
As soon as Tang Jiu's lips moved, A Luo said first: "Tang Jiu, don't think I'm lying to you. Every word I said is true. From the moment you let Cai Ling leave, Chun Bing will not
If I trust you again, even if I don’t kill you now, I will kill you sooner or later in various ways, and Cai Ling is the best example.”
