Chong Ximo grabbed Chu Qiao's arm and walked back, but after taking a few steps, she forcefully shook off his hand. She knew that he was dragging her away like this for her own good, but without the prescription, entering
The cold palace is her only chance.
"If you don't help me, go back by yourself." Chu Qiao hid her hands behind her back and said unhappily.
Chu Qiao hoped that Chong Ximo would stop meddling in her business. If he had a lot of time and was free, he would go and find out the whereabouts of Princess Aruna, or meet his fiancée, Princess Ulunzhu, and her
Spending it like this won't do him any good.
"What exactly do you want to check?" Chong Ximo turned around and looked at Chu Qiao with a frown.
"This is none of your business, just go away."
Chu Qiao did not answer Chong Ximo's words. Although he didn't understand it now, one day in the future, when the truth comes to light and Chu Qiao's identity is revealed to the public, he would understand why Chu Qiao entered the palace and why she was looking for that person.
The prescription, and the purpose of entering the cold palace.
Everything is for the sake of uncle's innocence. This persistence will support Chu Qiao to keep going.
"Do we really have to go in?" Chong Ximo asked again.
"Yes, you must go in." Chu Qiao looked directly into his eyes. He now had two choices, ignore her or call for her arrest. If he didn't do both, he couldn't stop her from walking towards the truth step by step.
"Chong Ximo, I promised you that as long as I achieve my goal, I will definitely leave here, but now... don't stop me." Chu Qiao took a step back apologetically, turned around, and was about to return to the door of Leng Palace again.
, he suddenly took a step forward and grabbed her wrist.
"I'll help you!"
After saying these three words, Chong Ximo's big hands directly hugged Chu Qiao's waist. Before she could figure out how he was going to help her, his waist tightened and she was lifted up by him.
The body left the ground in an instant.
"This, this..." Chu Qiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Her feet left the ground and rose into the air. She instantly lost her balance and had to hug him with her arms to prevent him from suddenly letting go and throwing her down.
When Chong Ximo and Chu Qiao landed gently on the wall of Leng Palace, Chu Qiao realized that the way he helped her was to cross the wall.
This kind of sneaky behavior is not Chong Ximo's style. Obviously, for her, he once again broke the principle he adhered to and became an out-and-out thief.
The palace wall was not much lower than the roof. Standing on it, Chu Qiao felt a little dizzy.
"Is this how you help me?" she asked in a low voice.
"Are you still picky about your ways?" He suddenly smiled at her, and her face immediately turned red.
In the current situation, Chu Qiao really couldn't be picky about the way she came in. This way she could climb over the wall and save time, and she didn't have to alert anyone.
After jumping off the wall, Chong Ximo placed Chu Qiao on the ground and whispered instructions.
"Except for a few eunuchs, there are no guards here. You are wearing the clothes of an imperial doctor. It means that you are walking in the cold palace. You can freely inquire about the maids here and just say that they are the imperial doctors who treat Concubine Mu. No one will suspect it.
Yours, I'll wait for you here. After you finish asking, come back quickly."
"good."
Chu Qiao nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but Chong Ximo suddenly pulled her back again, his eyes firmly locked on her cheeks. There was uneasiness and pain in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he felt embarrassed.
He opened his mouth and asked.
"You promised him?"
"Promise what?"
Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Chong Ximo meant. He was talking about her promise to An Ge's marriage. She could have easily answered the question, but facing his look, Chu Qiao was speechless.
Already.
She lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and this action already acquiesced to this fact.
Chong Ximo seemed to be discouraged. He loosened his hand and let Chu Qiao go.
"He is a good man..."
Such a simple sentence, he is a good person, is this a blessing? It's like she congratulated him and Princess Ulunzhu.
"Yes, he is a good man."
Chu Qiao took a step back and turned around silently. The moment she turned away from him, her nose felt sour. An Ge was a good person, so was Chong Ximo. She owed An Ge, and she also owed Chong Ximo.
Two men, even if Chu Qiao was reborn several times and acted like a cow and a horse, she would never be able to repay them fully.
Sniffling, Chu Qiao sucked back her tears. Although what she just said was a bit lonely and sad, the results were developing in a good direction. An Ge was out of danger, and Chong Ximo was about to marry the Mongolian princess. As for herself,
…
After achieving her goal, can she really feel at ease?
As she moved forward, Chu Qiao opened the distance between Chong Ximo and he stood there as promised, waiting quietly.
After entering an old moon gate, Chu Qiao cheered up. Just then, a maid in plain clothes came over carrying a bowl. She hurriedly greeted her. Maybe there were few people here. Chu Qiao's sudden appearance scared the girl.
The maid jumped.
"You are..." The maid saw Chu Qiao's clothes clearly and calmed down a little.
"I am the imperial doctor in the palace. I came here today to treat Concubine Mu. As soon as I entered the door, I got lost. There is no sign or word here. I can't find where Concubine Mu is.
.”
Chu Qiao's explanation made the maid couldn't help but smile. She pointed to a small wooden door to the east and whispered.
"Mother Mu lives there and has been bedridden for a long time."
"Thank you."
Chu Qiao thanked her repeatedly and walked quickly towards the wooden door.
Walking to the wooden door, Chu Qiao discovered that the door had been in disrepair for a long time. The wood was rotten and almost fell down when pushed. This really corresponded to the word "cold palace". It was so cold here that no one cared about it.
.
With a creak, the door opened, and Chu Qiao walked in. A very shabby corridor, at the end of the corridor, a commoner palace maid was sitting at the door in a daze.
"I am the imperial doctor in the palace and I would like to meet Concubine Mu." Chu Qiao walked up.
"Royal doctor?"
The palace maid was a little surprised. It seemed that no one had made any effort to hire a doctor for Empress Mu. Everyone was waiting for the day when Concubine Mu's spirit passed away to the west.
"Is it convenient now?" Chu Qiao asked again.
"Convenient, convenient, I will take you in."
Although Chu Qiao was brought in, after opening the door, the palace maid stood motionless at the door. The room was relatively clean, but it exuded a faint rancid smell. It seemed that the woman inside was really sick.
"My queen has been in bed for a long time and has a sore. You have to be careful, for fear that it will be contagious." The palace maid said timidly.
"How can sores be contagious? Since you are so afraid, just go out and wait." Chu Qiao ordered.
The little palace maid was hoping to hear such words. Without saying a word, she walked out and stayed far away.
