Chapter 440
In my memory, in the year when she suffered from the wood stagnation, she could not move or speak, and could only lie down stiffly, giving her food and drink to eat and drink, especially when she was awake, the torment of being trapped in a cage, sometimes she had to listen to people's cold words and annoyance, and the torture of people who could torture were mentally broken.
She didn't know if Xiao Xu was like her, and had a clear consciousness.
But at this time, Xiao Xu was unconscious, but no one covered him with a quilt, and there was no charcoal fire in the room. The servants themselves were wearing thick clothes and gathered together to talk and laugh.
Chu Junlan creaked his silver teeth and walked out of the darkness unbearably, and said coldly: "You are happy to eat."
Chu Junlan had been in a coma for two days and had a fever that was reduced only then. His voice was hoarse as if he could scratch a person's eardrum. In addition, her words were filled with hatred, and every word seemed to squeeze out from the gap of her teeth, like the roar of a ghost crawling out of hell to collect debts.
The two servants were so scared that they screamed "Oh" and the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks were overturned.
"Who!"
"Come here!"
Chu Junlan, wearing red clothes, walked out of the shadow, covered the quilt for Xiao Xu, and sat on the edge of the bed to check his pulse.
The two servants were still in shock, and the guards in the courtyard had already rushed in.
"Who!"
"Bold madman, dare to break into the palace!"
When they saw the person sitting by the bed, the servant and the guard breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, isn't this the future princess?"
The servants were all served in Princess Zhang's courtyard. I have seen Chu Junlan several times. Now I see it clearly that it is her and curses her lips.
"Why, Miss Chu is so anxious to come to the prince's mansion? You are not at home for the New Year's Eve, so how can you climb over the wall and come to the man's house? Our prince is unable to move now. What do you want to do to the prince?"
This was too disgusting and dirty, which caused the guards who broke in to burst into laughter.
With a heavy expression, Xiao Xu's hand that had lost weight was put back into the quilt. Chu Junlan stood up and slowly walked towards the people in front of the door.
Her original appearance was still unharmed by the bright light when she was sick, but she became a little softer. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she shaved several people coldly. The laughing guards and the two servants couldn't help but whisper.
"Who arranged for you to serve the prince?"
"Why should we sue you?" the younger servant curled his lips.
Chu Junlan's eyes were so angry that he raised his hand and had a big mouth.
With a "bang", the servant lady was plucked and turned around in the spot, and she cried out with a terrible cry.
The guards "clang" and stared at Chu Junlan with a fierce look.
Chu Junlan sneered: "What, can't I get the life of a servant in my hand? You can go and ask the prince if he is allowed now!"
The guards of the royal palace looked very ugly, but they were all thinking about Chu Junlan's words in their hearts.
"I'll ask again, who told you to be so neglected by the prince?"
The servants and the guards spoke none.
Chu Junlan gritted his teeth, changed his question, and pointed at the two servants: "Who sent you here?"
"It's the princess."
"Which princess?"
The two servants looked at each other and did not answer for a while. They were afraid that Chu Junlan would look for him directly when he said Princess Zhang. Then the trouble would begin and he would not have to pass this year.
"Where are you?" Chu Junlan asked the guards again.
The guard said with confidence: "It was the prince who told us to protect the prince."
"Oh, protect the prince, protecting the prince means not being able to get close to taking care of the prince, so that these two dog slaves can fight against the prince?"
The guards were speechless again.
Chu Junlan said: "The prince will not want to let outsiders know that someone in the mansion abuses the prince. Your actions today are just to destroy yourself."
"Abuse? Where did it be abused?"
"That's right, we are just servants, so we have the courage to abuse the prince."
When they heard the "self-destruction", both servants were a little panicked and whispered in a stern voice: "We are also following the princess' orders to do the job.
Chu Junlan sneered: "I know it's hard for you to do, but the prince is also the prince no matter what. I hope you can weigh it clearly. How much do you have and how many heads are you enough for the emperor to cut off."
Thinking of the rumor, both servants became a little nervous. If the prince was really the emperor's son, would the emperor not care at all?
However, the guards of the royal palace were more courageous: "Not mentioning this, how did Miss Chu enter the mansion?"
"You don't know how I came in. I'm so dereliction of duty, so I'm so embarrassed to ask me? I'm not afraid, but I don't know how the prince will feel when he sees you so useless."
The faces of several guards changed.
They are just ordinary guards, and they really can't figure out the prince's pulse. I don't know if this matter starts, will the prince turn the blame on them. It's better to turn big things into small things.
"Miss Chu, just sit down for a while. We'll leave."
The guards bowed and retreated.
The two servants also bowed and took the opportunity to leave.
Chu Junlan glared: "Can they leave, can I let you go?"
The two of them were so scared that their legs became weak and they almost knelt down on the spot.
Chu Junlan said, "Go and heat the kang up. If not, prepare the charcoal basin. I have little knowledge, but I have never seen the servants wear warm and gentle drinking, so that the master can stay in the cold room with a single dress on New Year's Eve without even a quilt. If I tell the emperor, do you think about your life?"
"But, but..." One of the older servants hesitated a little. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other servant pulled his sleeve and simply closed his mouth.
When Chu Junlan saw this, what else did he not understand?
"You are here on order, and I will not make things difficult for you. You should do what I said for the time being. I will talk to the princess for the rest."
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and they all agreed. Then they explained: "Miss Chu, don't blame us, we also did it on orders. The prince is like this now, and the prince said he would not expect him to wake up, so he would let the prince wait for death in this garden. We are just servants, so it is hard to refute, right?"
Chu Junlan frowned and held back his anger and said, "Well, I know what the prince thinks, where is the person who is following the prince?"
The two of them were speechless again.
Chu Junlan turned coldly: "Where is the prince's man?"
"Miss, don't tell people that we told me. The prince's entourage insisted on staying beside the prince to serve, and even collided with the prince and was taken down by the prince and locked up."
"Where is locked up!"
"This, we don't know this!" The two of them were so scared that their faces were pale when they were frightened by Chu Junlan's severe scolding.
Chu Junlan took a deep breath and said, "You should do what I told you first." Then he turned around and left the door.
Standing under the porch, I saw that the javelins of several guards in the yard were standing straight. After a glance, I found that there was one missing in the middle.
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "You have already taken someone to tell the prince?"
Several guards looked tense.
"Okay. It's nothing wrong to tell the prince, so I won't go there any more. If the prince asks later, I'll say I've left."
Chu Junlan really wanted to find Prince Gong directly, but now her physical strength has not yet recovered, and Prince Gong has lost all face when he is cuckolded. If she is angry and embarrassed, she will not be sure to win.
What's more, whether it's to question Prince Gong or to settle the score with Princess Zhang, there is no benefit in the current situation. She now needs to restore Xiao Xu's health. As for the rest, she can make a long-term plan.
She just looked at Xiao Xu's pulse. Although she was not in danger of life, she didn't know how long she would be in a coma. It might take three or five days or three or five years. She couldn't leave Xiao Xu alone and could not let Xiao Xu be as isolated as she did when she was suffering from the stagnation of wood.
No one in this mansion cares about his life and death, and even hopes that he will die. Just a word from Prince Gong and Princess Zhang is enough to make the following people ignore Xiao Xu. Today's situation will continue in the future.
Chu Junlan thought about this and simply jumped over the wall with neat skills.
Several guards were shocked when they saw Chu Junlan's neat body movements.
"The prince has already told me. If Prince asks Chu Junlan where he is, what should we say?"
"Just say that the witch forced her to death, so we didn't dare to hurt her, so we let her run away."
"That's all."
While several guards were disappointed, Chu Junlan was standing outside the back wall of the palace, holding the wall and breathing heavily.
She is very weak now, but she is more sensitive than usual.
"Why, I've followed me all the way. Can't I come out now?"
Chu Junlan's voice echoed in the empty alley, and there were lively firecrackers and fireworks in the distance. His footsteps fell on the snow and made a slight creaking sound. Turning around, he saw a tall man in black hidden in the shadows and bowing to her: "Miss Chu, don't be afraid, the emperor ordered Miss Huyi to protect Miss."
Chu Junlan nodded, did not ask in detail, nor did he pursue it, but said, "I want to come to the palace to meet the saint, is there any way?"
"Wait for tomorrow..."
"I can't wait for tomorrow, I want to meet the Saint immediately."
The man in black pondered for a moment and nodded, "Please follow the rank of Beizhi."
Chu Junlan nodded, followed the steps of the man in black, and did not encounter any obstacles due to his characteristic waist card. He returned to the Palace of Harmony smoothly.
Emperor Jinghong was not here, I don’t know which concubine was happy with or was having fun with her.
However, before long, Emperor Jing Hong hurried back and said anxiously: "Have you gone to the palace? How about Xu'er?"
Chu Junlan pursed his lips and knelt down, his forehead pressed against the ground: "Emperor, please give me a marriage."
"Give marriage?" Emperor Jing Hong didn't understand for a moment, "Isn't you and Xu'er really the same?" His face turned cold and he said in a gentle tone, "However, Xu'er is in poor health now, and it's really not suitable..."
"Emperor, I want to ask the emperor to choose the nearest day to marry Xiao Xu. I hope I can go to the royal palace to take care of me and find a way to cure the prince. If I leave this alone, I am afraid that the prince may not wake up for three or five years."
Emperor Jing Hong looked at Chu Junlan in shock, with a complicated emotion flashing in his eyes, and shook his head and said, "You...you have to think about it, what if Xu'er can't wake up in her whole life?"
