Now it is not difficult to go to the emperor's palace.
The prince no longer prevents others from guarding the emperor, and the concubines and princes take turns taking turns. Nowadays, in troubled times, the prince spends less and less time guarding the palace.
The person on duty here tonight is Chu Xiurong.
Of course, this was his arrangement, including arranging for Chen Danzhu to meet Jin Yao.
Chen Danzhu quickly asked the accompanying eunuch to convey to Chu Xiurong that he wanted to come to the emperor.
"Miss Danzhu and the princess said they came here to see His Majesty." Xiaoqu whispered, "Look -"
Miss Danzhu said she wanted to see the princess, and His Highness arranged it. Now Miss Danzhu wants to see His Majesty again. This is really overreaching and a bit risky.
Although they have a large number of people in the palace, there are still some troubles in the emperor's palace. Miss Danzhu came over openly. It would take some effort to hide it from the prince. The most important thing is that the people around the emperor can't hide it no matter what -
-Eunuch Jin Zhong is like an old monk who has entered samadhi, never leaving His Majesty.
After all, Miss Danzhu was charged with murdering the emperor and was imprisoned in the palace by the prince.
It was nothing more than preferential treatment in prison, but now he walked up to the emperor casually and arrogantly. What would Eunuch Jinzhong think? What would the emperor think?
Chu Xiurong didn't think about it and just said: "Let them do it." He stood up and lit the candle.
Xiao Qu could only respond and exit, and Chu Xiurong walked into the inner room holding the lamp.
Eunuch Jinzhong was napping on the small bed. When he heard the noise, he raised his head. He seemed to be a little dazed from sleep, and his eyes were cloudy. "It's His Highness King Qi." He added, "You can rest, Your Majesty is fine."
Chu Xiurong whispered: "Eunuch, Miss Danzhu and Jin Yao are here to visit Your Majesty."
Eunuch Jinzhong glanced at him and said, "Hey, you can take a look if you want." After saying that, he lowered his eyes and seemed to fall asleep again.
Chu Xiurong stopped talking and turned on the lights here. After doing this, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door. He turned around and saw two girls walking in, wrapped in cloaks and covering their heads.
"Third brother." Princess Jin Yao called softly.
Chu Xiurong smiled and nodded at her.
Princess Jin Yao approached and first looked at the emperor on the bed. The emperor was sleeping as usual, and Chen Danzhu also wanted to follow her.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will probably come over later." Chu Xiurong said softly.
Does it mean that they don’t have much time here? Chen Danzhu’s footsteps stopped? Princess Jin Yao hurriedly looked at Eunuch Jinzhong: “I want to compete with Miss Danzhu, and I want my father to see it.”
Does the princess still remember this? Eunuch Jinzhong looked a little sad? He said with a smile: "Then the princess must win this time, otherwise your majesty will be angry."
...
...
The few eunuchs in the inner room withdrew. Chu Xiurong and eunuch Jinzhong stepped aside, watching the two girls who had taken off their cloaks, dressed in neat clothes, and tied up their sleeves. They first politely tested it, and then
In a moment, Princess Jin Yao was hugged by Chen Danzhu and threw her to the ground.
Eunuch Jinzhong groaned and laughed: "Miss Danzhu is so cruel."
But today's Princess Jin Yao is not the same as before. Her legs and feet are strong enough to support her body. She presses Chen Danzhu's shoulder with her backhand.
There was a stalemate in the struggle, and Eunuch Jinzhong shouted from the side, "It's a draw."
The two girls separated, smiled and moved their hands and feet, and then bumped into each other again. This time, Jin Yao made the first move? But Chen Danzhu not only dodged her, but also pushed her to the ground.
No matter how much Princess Jin Yao struggled this time? With red eyes and gritted teeth? Chen Danzhu would not let go until Eunuch Jinzhong shouted, "Miss Danzhu has won." Then he came to help him in person? "Ouch, ouch, ouch?"
Miss Danzhu? Don’t be so heavy, our princess’s hand was crushed.”
Chen Danzhu smiled and said: "It's a competition, don't worry about that, just win." Then he looked at Princess Jin Yao and said, "Princess, you won't cry if you lose, right?"
Princess Jin Yao's eyes were red, but she still took a deep breath and stood up: "I won't cry - come again!"
The girl rushed over, but the next moment she was thrown to the ground by Chen Danzhu. This time, her face was wiped on the ground. If the floor had not been carpeted, it would have been scratched.
"Miss Danzhu - you win." Eunuch Jinzhong shouted, "Let the princess go quickly."
Chen Danzhu let go of Jin Yao, and Princess Jin Yao jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Chen Danzhu. This time she didn't follow the rules and collided with Chen Danzhu——
Eunuch Jinzhong was helpless and anxious, "Don't fight."
But whether it was a structured fight or an unstructured fight, Princess Jin Yao was pushed to the ground again and again by Chen Danzhu.
"You lost, and you still don't admit defeat." Chen Danzhu shouted arrogantly.
When she was thrown to the ground again and couldn't move, Princess Jin Yao finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Miss Danzhu!" Eunuch Jinzhong shouted unhappily. Even if there were no rules, he still had to see what time it was. The emperor was seriously ill and the princess had to marry far away.
Chen Danzhu let go of Princess Jin Yao. This time Princess Jin Yao did not rush towards her again, but lay on the ground and cried.
"If you lose, you just want to cry." Chen Danzhu said slowly, "If you are bullied, you can cry."
After suffering such great grievances, she still pretends to be happy. What she said for herself, her father, and her ambitions were all told by the little girl herself to encourage her. How could she not feel sad?
I was afraid and didn’t want to cry—it was clear that I didn’t even have the chance or reason to cry.
Princess Jin Yao cried harder and harder. She simply crawled over and knelt beside the bed, buried her head in the emperor's hand and cried loudly.
Eunuch Jinzhong tried to persuade her at first, but when he saw the girl crying heartbrokenly, he stopped talking and slowly backed away, hiding himself in the shadow of the lamp for fear of disturbing the girl's tears.
Chu Xiurong didn't speak from the beginning to the end.
Chen Danzhu sat on the ground with his arms folded, looking at Princess Jin Yao who was kneeling beside the bed and crying, from howling to sobbing to slowly becoming silent.
"Princess." Chen Danzhu also knelt down to the emperor's bedside and held the princess's hand. "You lost to me. Remember, you have to compete with me again in the future and beat me again."
Princess Jin Yao raised her shoulders and said in a muffled voice: "I know, don't worry, I will definitely beat you next time we compete." After saying that, she shook the emperor's hand vigorously, "Father, you too
Wait and see if I beat her next time."
Chen Danzhu held Jin Yao's hand, and then slipped it on the emperor's wrist——
The two girls knelt beside the bed, blocking the light and other people's sight.
Princess Jin Yao saw her actions, her eyes were slightly surprised but then gentle - Danzhu still wanted to try to treat the emperor.
What she was about to say, the voice of Xiaoqu came from outside: "His Royal Highness is coming."
Princess Jin Yao hurriedly grabbed Chen Danzhu's hand: "Okay, Danzhu, please go quickly." She also stood up, "I'm going back too." She pointed to her face, her tears stopped flowing, but the whole
His face was still soaked in tears, "I don't want him to see me like this."
Chen Danzhu nodded and said hello.
"I'll have someone send her back," Chu Xiurong said.
Princess Jin Yao put on her cloak, looked at Chen Danzhu, and then at Chu Xiurong. She once thought that Chu Xiurong and Chen Danzhu would be together, but now it seems that there is no other relationship between the two.
Emotions are like solidified water, and like a wall -
"Then leave it to Third Brother." She waved to Chen Danzhu and then to the emperor on the bed, "Father, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he didn't seem to let his eyes wander in the slightest, put on a hood to cover his head and face, turned around and walked away quickly.
Chu Xiurong looked at Chen Danzhu, and Chen Danzhu also looked at him, his eyes like a deep pool——
"Xiaoqu." Chu Xiurong lowered his gaze, "Send Miss Danzhu back."
In response to the ditty, Chen Danzhu looked at him again, put on his cloak and hat and left.
The room became quiet again, and Eunuch Jinzhong called for people to come and tidy up the room.
Chu Xiurong stood beside the bed, raising her hands to raise the curtains here. When the light came over, she could see the emperor's face was full of tears.
He looked at it calmly, took out his handkerchief, and wiped away the emperor's tears.
.....
.....
After finishing the ditty, Chen Danzhu saw Chu Xiurong walking over before he reached the emperor's palace.
"The prince is gone?" Xiaoqu asked in surprise.
Chu Xiurong nodded: "I looked at it and left, saying I was busy."
Xiaoqu sneered: "I don't even bother to act like a filial son."
While muttering, he suddenly realized that the direction Chu Xiurong was going was not back to his residence.
"Your Highness," he asked, "Where are you going?"
Chu Xiurong said: "Go and see Miss Danzhu."
Huh? Haven't we just met? Why are you going again? Xiaoqu is a little helpless. He knows that His Highness has been unable to let go of Miss Danzhu, but now that the matter has reached the most critical moment, can't he let Miss Danzhu go first?
Chu Xiurong came to the cell. The lights were dark in the cell.
"Is Miss Danzhu asleep?" he asked.
A girl's voice came from the darkness, "No."
Xiao Qu hurriedly handed the lamp to Chu Xiurong. Chu Xiurong walked in with the lamp and saw Chen Danzhu huddled in the corner of the cell.
Chen Danzhu was still wrapped in a cloak and hood, squatting in a small ball on the ground. She raised her head when the light came over.
"Why are you here, Your Highness?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
Chu Xiurong said: "I think you should have something to ask me. It was inconvenient to be there before, so you didn't ask."
Chen Danzhu wanted to laugh a little: "Your Highness is so honest that I don't even know what to say."
He said he wouldn't hide it from her. Chu Xiurong looked at her: "You can say whatever you want."
Well, Chen Danzhu stood up suddenly, strode to the cell door, looked at Chu Xiurong: "I want to treat your majesty."
Chu Xiurong shook his head.
"No, your Majesty is not sick," he said, "I just can't see, speak or move."
