After explaining what the palace maid had said, Chu Qiao was afraid that Chong Ximo would be impatient, so she hurriedly walked to the right. Perhaps she was walking in a hurry and almost collided with the little eunuch who poked his head out from around the corner.
The little eunuch smiled in embarrassment, took a step back, and stared at Chu Qiao like a thief.
"What's up?"
Chu Qiao looked at him confidently with her imperial doctor's attire, but actually she was already feeling uneasy inside, fearing that this guy might hear something.
"No, no, I'm just passing by and leaving right away."
After finishing speaking, the little eunuch lowered his head, braved his waist, and walked towards the small door in front. After a while, he disappeared from sight.
Looking at the little eunuch's leaving figure, Chu Qiao felt something was wrong. She quickly quickened her pace and walked towards the place where Chong Ximo was hiding.
In the corner of the palace wall, Chong Ximo was walking back and forth anxiously. Perhaps he had been waiting for a long time and was a little anxious.
Looking at his figure, Chu Qiao couldn't help but slow down. She left Concubine Mu with a doubt in her heart. There was no doubt that the whole thing was a conspiracy, but Chong Ximo knew that his father was framed.
Did you kill Yun Chongjin? Or was he also one of the accomplices?
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Chu Qiao asked herself softly.
Thinking that Chong Ximo might know the whole story, she was very disappointed with him. A man who seemed to be a stern gentleman might be just a villain, but she still respected him so much.
From a distance, Chong Ximo also saw Chu Qiao. He took a big step, walked up a few steps, held her hand, and asked angrily.
"It's so slow. Come with me right now."
"I'm already very fast."
After asking Concubine Mu a question, Chu Qiao didn't dare to stay for a moment and left. Why was he waiting so impatiently? Or was something wrong?
Just when Chu Qiao felt that Chong Ximo's expression was strange, a noisy sound came from the door of Leng Palace, as if many people were rushing towards this direction.
Chu Qiao immediately became nervous when she heard the footsteps. Could it be that someone knew that she had come to Leng Palace?
"Stop asking."
Chong Ximo had no time to explain. He stretched out his arms and hugged Chu Qiao's waist. Without saying a word, he jumped up to the palace wall. Standing on the palace wall, he pressed Chu Qiao's head and leaned towards her.
Look down.
Chu Qiao also took the opportunity to look over his shoulder. There were guards with knives at the door of Leng Palace. Several eunuchs in charge kicked open the door of Leng Palace and broke in.
"They...are coming for me?"
After Chu Qiao asked herself, she suddenly thought of the sneaky little eunuch and screamed out loud. He must have seen her coming out of Concubine Mu's room and went out to report the news.
"I really shouldn't have promised you." Chong Ximo took Chu Qiao's arm and jumped off the palace wall. As soon as he landed, he heard someone shouting.
"There!"
After this voice, dozens of guards rushed towards Chu Qiao and Chong Ximo. Chong Ximo frowned and hesitated.
"What are you still standing there for? I can't let anyone know that you brought me in."
Although Chu Qiao was suspicious of Chong Ximo, she still believed that he was innocent. He helped her this time, and she couldn't harm him because of it, so she decisively grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the Moon Gate quickly.
Run away.
After entering the Moon Gate, Chong Ximo seemed to have just come back to his senses. Just when Chu Qiao grabbed his hand and rushed up the corridor, he was pulled back by him.
"Why are you running around? Come with me..." He dragged Chu Qiao to him and reminded her in a low voice.
Only then did Chu Qiao realize that if she ran so blatantly, she would be stopped and questioned. Not only would she not be able to escape, but Chong Ximo would also be caught in it and it would be hard to explain.
"Where to go? There is no place to hide." Chu Qiao asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk..."
Chong Ximo didn't say where he was going, he just held Chu Qiao's hand and ran back.
"Isn't this a door-to-door delivery?" Chu Qiao was panicking. He wouldn't have no choice but to hand her over like this to clear away the blame. The idea of jumping over the wall was his idea...
Just when Chu Qiao wanted to break free from Chong Ximo's hand, he ran to the corner in a few steps and almost dragged Chu Qiao to the ground.
There was a small rusty iron door in the corner. Chong Ximo didn't even explain it. He kicked it out. With a bang, the small iron door opened, revealing a small space that could only accommodate two people.
.
This is the place where the cleaning maids keep their brooms. There are also several in the imperial kitchen. This one looks like it has been abandoned for many years. The embroidery on the door is almost the same color as the wall.
"Come in!"
Chong Ximo dragged Chong Ximo in, then looked back and carefully pulled the iron door from the inside. In an instant, the surroundings were dark and the air became stuffy.
The space inside the door was too small, and Chong Ximo was very tall. He bent his waist and turned his body sideways, but he was still close to Chu Qiao's body.
His breathing was rough and a little rapid, and his voice was very low, reminding Chu Qiao.
"Hold on for a while, wait until they pass, and then we'll leave here..."
"good……"
Chu Qiao couldn't see his appearance, so she could only nod vigorously a few times, but her chin accidentally touched his shoulder. The situation was very awkward. She wanted to retreat as much as possible, but she stepped on something and made a "stuck" sound.
One sound.
"Don't move..."
He warned angrily.
Chu Qiao immediately didn't dare to move. Her whole body was unbearably hot and sweat started to flow from her forehead.
Outside the iron gate, footsteps were approaching. Many people ran past, and then ran back. After going back and forth several times, they did not become quiet.
"Did you run away from here?" someone asked.
"Yes, I saw it clearly." Another person added.
…
After a few words of conversation, the footsteps also disappeared, and no one passed by here for a long time.
Chong Ximo stood there without moving, and Chu Qiao did not dare to say anything about going out immediately. The atmosphere was still very ambiguous, but also very dull, making Chu Qiao unable to hold her breath smoothly.
After about a cup of tea, Chong Ximo gently pushed open the iron door after making sure it was safe.
As soon as the door opened, the sunlight came in directly. Chu Qiao took a deep breath and her tense heart relaxed. At this moment, she discovered an embarrassing situation. Chong Ximo had been holding her hand.
Never let go from beginning to end.
"Okay, okay..."
Chu Qiao's face turned red and she pulled out her hand in embarrassment. Her fingers were already wet with his sweat.
Chong Ximo also retracted his hand. After a moment of embarrassment, he suddenly asked Chu Qiao coldly.
"Can you tell me now why you want to see Concubine Mu?"
Why do you want to see Concubine Mu? Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have never thought about this question.
"Because, because a friend asked me to... say that she was sick and let me go and see her."
"A friend?" Chong Ximo didn't believe Chu Qiao's words and stared at her with doubts, hoping that she could prove that what she just said was not a lie.
Chu Qiao did not lie kindly, her lips were pursed, turned white, and then became rapidly congested with blood.
"They are really friends...you don't know them outside the palace..."
"Is this a good lie? Or is it from outside the palace? Okay, Li Chunxiang, if you don't tell the truth, I won't care about you now. When someone comes to the Taiyuan Hospital to find you later, you have to tell this person by name.
Let them get out of the palace and check it out, it's best not to be fake."
Chong Ximo seemed very angry. After saying this, he turned around and strode forward.
When Chu Qiao heard this, she was a little scared. If they really came to ask her, where did she find such a person? There was no other way. Chu Qiao could only take three steps at a time to catch up with Chong Ximo and admit that she had lied.
Already.
"No, there is no such person, I lied..."
"How long are you going to lie to me, Li Chunxiang?" The three words Li Chunxiang came out of Chong Ximo's mouth, with a little uncertainty. Chu Qiao knew that Chong Ximo had begun to doubt her identity, what with her family?
He no longer believed in being separated or displaced.
Facing Chong Ximo's questioning gaze, Chu Qiao felt ashamed, but if he was told this fact, he would probably not think about the friendship between them and turn around to help his father deal with Chu Qiao. If the situation was really like that, his uncle's
The grievances may really come to an end.
"I've already told you, I'm not Li Chunxiang, why are you checking?" Chu Qiao muttered in a low voice, but did not dare to lose her temper. Now she had to let him help her get through this difficulty.
Chu Qiao's expression was frightened and pitiful enough, and her eyes were so innocent that people couldn't get angry. Chong Ximo glared a few times, puffed up his cheeks, and finally compromised.
"The people just now belong to my father. I think... I just need to go back and explain to him. If someone comes to see you, don't talk nonsense."
"Your father is Lord Chong?"
Chu Qiao thought she had heard wrongly, that she was someone who admired medical supervision? She opened and closed her mouth several times, but no words came out.
"What are you still standing there for? They'll be back soon, why don't you leave?" Chong Ximo got angry at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao's words came to her lips, but she couldn't ask them. After hesitating for a long time, she could only nod her head and walked forward uneasily. After walking far away, when she looked back, she found that Chong Ximo was still standing there.
Staring at her back.
If Chong Ximo hadn't said that the person who just entered the cold palace was a person who advocated medical supervision, it would prove that Concubine Mu did not lie or frame him. Advocating medical supervision was really related to her uncle's death.
As she walked, Chu Qiao clenched her fists, feeling extremely hateful in her heart. What a sanctimonious guy, he actually did such a despicable thing to his friend. He thought back then, his uncle had said a lot of good things about the Chong family, and he was still doing it for him.
Chu Qiao and Chong Ximo matched each other, but they didn't want to repay that they were framed to death.
With a feeling that she couldn't let go, Chu Qiao returned to Tai Hospital. From a distance, she saw the big man standing at the door of her room and looking at her with a smile.
"The maid of the Queen of Mongolia came just now and said that she would like you to come over later. She has some small gifts for you."
"Okay, I get it."
