Following them all the way, they saw Chu Xia and Xi Yun enter the Chonghua Palace. Chu Qiao hid in the corner outside, anxiously waiting for about a stick of incense. Chu Xia came out, and then Xi Yun came out. See
It seems that Xiyun is here to see Chuxia off.
"That's it. You still have to go back and take care of the Seventh Prince. You just drank the medicine and need to take a nap." Chu Xia looked relieved. Presumably the Seventh Prince had already taken the medicine.
Chu Qiao was so anxious that she broke out in sweat. If it were delayed, it would be too late. A child would become sick again and almost die after eating it once.
Fortunately, Chu Xia left first. Xi Yun stood at the door of Chonghua Palace, said something to a young eunuch who came out, and then turned and walked back.
There was only one chance. If she missed, Chu Qiao had to give up anyway. Holding her breath, she opened the slingshot in the corner and aimed at Xi Yun's head.
"Pa"
Zi Tuan'er shot out, as expected of what he had practiced since he was a child. He happened to hit Xi Yun's head and bounced to the ground.
Xi Yun stopped in shock, touched his head, and glanced at Chu Qiao again. He didn't seem to see anything, so he leaned over and picked up the dumpling. At this time, several palace maids walked out of it.
Xiyun cleverly held the word ball in his hand and hurriedly entered the gate of Chonghua Palace.
"You are smart."
Chu Qiao put away her slingshot, stood up, and let out a long breath. When she turned around, she found a person standing behind her.
"Ah?" Chu Qiao screamed, the slingshot in her hand fell, and she was dumbfounded.
I don't know when there was a man behind her. He was wearing a yellow brocade robe with silver hollow hibiscus flowers at the corners. He had a yellow brocade belt around his waist and a piece of light yellow warm jade. This man had handsome features.
He has starry eyes and is only thirty years old. Depending on the situation, he has been standing here looking at her for a while.
When the man's eyes fell on the slingshot at Chu Qiao's feet, Chu Qiao was startled and stammered in explanation.
"I'll shoot, shoot the birds on the tree..."
Are there any birds in the trees? It seems that there are not even big trees around Chonghua Palace.
Su Wen said that in the past dynasties, big trees were not planted around the palace. This was done to prevent assassins from hiding in it. This Chonghua Palace was the centerpiece of the palace, so where did the big trees come from?
Chu Qiao raised her eyelids, feeling embarrassed and ashamed. She couldn't help but take a step back, thinking about the chances of being caught if she ran away now.
"Shooting birds?"
The man took a few steps forward and looked at Chu Qiao with slightly narrowed eyes. Obviously, this little palace maid was lying. Her slingshot was not used to hit birds, but to hit people.
"Now that the birds have flown, I, I have to go to work."
Chu Qiao lowered her head, turned around, and hurried away. After taking a few steps, she turned into a trot, and finally ran. She ran for a distance while panting, and she could still hear the shouts of the men behind her.
"You, wait..."
etc?
How is it possible? There is only one result for standing still. He is caught and beaten with dozens of sticks, and his life is sealed. Since he has already started running, there is no reason to stop. When Chu Qiao thought of this, she ran faster and faster.
Since I was so big, I couldn't reach such a level.
The man stalked after him for a few steps, and when he turned around the palace wall, Chu Qiao's shadow disappeared. She was like a palace maid who could run, and her speed was comparable to that of a rabbit.
