Chapter 202: Meeting the Lecher Again
Chu He wished he could shoot Mu Rong to death with one arrow!
And now, he dared not delay even for a moment.
He exchanged clothes with the secret agent in the palace, and while everyone in the palace was having lunch at noon, he quietly sneaked out of the courtyard where the emperor accommodated them.
In his previous life, Chu He had been the commander of the imperial guards in the palace for many years and was already familiar with the terrain of the palace.
He knew that the Imperial Garden was a must-pass place, and fortunately there should be no one in the garden at this time.
He lowered his head and walked quickly through. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a loud female voice behind him: "That little eunuch, help me hold this tree!"
Chu He: "..." He turned around and saw a woman dressed in foreign clothes, staring at the blooming plum tree in front of her with burning eyes.
"I'm going to dig it up and transplant it to my yard. Come over and help me!" After the woman gave the order, she rubbed her hands, bent down and was about to start working.
Chu He frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard the woman's voice somewhere before.
Seeing him standing there motionless, the woman was a little annoyed. She stood up and pointed at Chu He: "Hey, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something: "It's you! The lecher who bullied the eldest daughter of the Lin family! Why are you wearing eunuch's clothes..."
As she spoke, her eyes lit up: "You actually managed to sneak into the palace! You lecher!"
She subconsciously reached for her waist, but soon she remembered that this was the imperial palace and her weapon was not with her.
She pounced over, grabbed Chu He's sleeve, and was about to scream.
But before she could make a sound, she felt a pain at the back of her head and then fell limply to the ground.
Chu He showed no mercy in this palm strike.
Looking at the dress she was wearing, which was obviously different from the one worn by women in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he finally remembered that this woman was the foreign woman holding a steel fork whom he met when he was chasing Lin Jiaoyue in Jiangnan.
If he remembered correctly, she was the girl from southern Xinjiang - Wai.
Sure enough, my brain is still not working very well!
But now, she fainted here. If she woke up and revealed her identity, her plan to quietly leave the palace would surely fail.
At that time, I would be unable to explain my identity, so how could I prove the guilt of the Crown Prince and Chang Jing?
Thinking of this, Chu He grabbed the girl's throat.
The sudden suffocation made the girl twist her body and struggle helplessly. Her hands tightly clasped his arms, and a tear silently slid down her face...
The next moment, Chu He withdrew his strength, carried the girl on his shoulders, and walked out of the palace.
As a former commander of the imperial guards, Chu He knew where the palace's defenses were weakest, so leaving the palace was not a difficult task for him.
The real trouble is the foreign girl on his shoulder.
But right now, he had no other choice.
They had no choice but to carry her to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Even... brought it into Xinghui Hall.
He threw the girl in front of Mu Rong, said only "Please take care of her for me", and then rushed to Xu Rongrong's bedside impatiently.
Xu Rongrong was drinking medicine when she saw Chu He approaching unexpectedly. She was happy at first, but the next moment she was choked by the medicine.
She rubbed her chest, not even coughing, as if her internal organs were shattered. Her face instantly flushed red.
Chu He's face changed drastically and he was at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, Mu Rong rushed into the room the next moment. He walked quickly to Xu Rongrong's side, placed his palm on her back, and used his internal energy to slowly calm her down.
Seeing that she had finally recovered, Chu He's heart ached: "It's only been a month, how could she become like this?"
Xu Rongrong covered her mouth with a handkerchief, motioned him to sit down, and then slowly said, "I'm fine, just sick... just a little cold. But you, your injuries haven't healed yet, and you've been tossing around. Now... how are you? Are you used to being in the palace?"
Just two sentences made her catch her breath.
Chu He's eyes darkened. "It was already fine before I came to Beijing. If I had known you would be like this... I should have returned earlier."
If he were here, how could he let Mu Rong take her to the southern suburbs to hunt wild deer!
She would not let that useless Mu Ai accompany her, and let someone frighten her horse and poison it right under her nose!
He glanced at Mu Rong, then said to Xu Rongrong, "From now on, I will protect your safety."
Xu Rongrong pulled the corners of her mouth weakly: "Everything is just fate... You came at the right time. Doctor Shu is in the mansion right now. Let him come and check on your injuries."
Chu He wanted to refuse, but when he saw her persistence, he said no more.
He let Shu Qing come over to take his pulse and examine his injuries.
Knowing that Chu He's old injury had recovered to 70% or 80%, Xu Rongrong finally felt relieved.
……
As Xu Rongrong's poisoning worsened, although there was a charcoal fire burning in the house, there was no heat at all.
And in the courtyard, it goes without saying. Mu Lu tightened his cloak and looked at the woman in front of him with a helpless expression.
When Chu He hurried over just now, the woman he was carrying on his shoulders was still unconscious.
He didn't bother to explain anything and just left the person behind and went into the inner room of Xinghui Hall.
Now, the woman has woken up.
She was dressed in an exotic costume and looked pretty and lively.
Unlike the slender and fragile women of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this girl exudes a tricky feeling.
The first thing she did after waking up was to strike Mu Lu with a palm.
Fortunately, Mu Lu’s skills were average, but he had good martial arts skills, and he was able to get behind her in a flash.
However... he didn't know her identity, nor her relationship with Chu He, so he didn't know how to respond. He simply raised his hand and sealed the woman's acupuncture points.
Wai: “…”
It was her brother Wali's duty to deliver tribute to the Great Zhou, but she couldn't bear it any longer, so she begged her brother to take her with him without telling her parents.
Although Southern Xinjiang was a vassal state of the Great Zhou, it was very powerful. Therefore, as it went north, wherever it went, whether it was post station officials or merchants and common people, they treated them with courtesy.
Even after entering the palace, although she was not as glamorous as Princess Lingxi from the northern border, and was not even allowed to attend family banquets, His Majesty the Emperor treated her very kindly.
Not only did he summon her and her brother alone, he also kept her in the palace, saying that she would return to southern Xinjiang after the spring came and the weather warmed up.
Life in the palace is different from that in southern Xinjiang. Food, clothing and other expenses are all very fine, but I can't see my brother all the time... Otherwise, life like this would be much happier than in southern Xinjiang!
Unexpectedly, she had only lived there for half a month when she was kidnapped by this scoundrel just because she wanted to pull up a plum tree in the imperial garden!
She grew up under the care of her father and brother for fifteen years, and had never been carried around by anyone!
The lecher just now and the frivolous man in front of me are not good people!
It was so cold, and they left her in the yard without even putting a mat on her!
Humph, once she escapes, she will use the poison from southern Xinjiang to poison them to death!
