Chapter 10
Three days passed peacefully, and Cui Hengyue's injury was almost healed.
"Remember, do as I say later." Cui Hengyue stood in front of the embroidery frame and told Qionghua again.
"okay, I get it."
Qionghua paused, still feeling a little uneasy: "Yueyue, do you really...want to do this? What if Miss Shui Rong tells General Mu?"
"No." Cui Hengyue said categorically: "You don't have to worry about this problem. I have carefully observed Shui Fu and Shui Rong in the past few days. Although they are maids, they are arrogant and will never tell anyone embarrassing things.
"
Qionghua felt that it made some sense and felt a little at ease.
"coming."
Cui Hengyue reminded him, quickly sat down on the small table, and picked up the embroidery needle on the embroidery stand.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened and Shui Rong walked in.
"Who asked you to get the needle?"
Shui Rong rushed over quickly and snatched the embroidery needle from Cui Hengyue's hand.
But the next moment, Cui Hengyue snatched the embroidery needle back even faster.
"You don't want to worry about that stinky girl..." Shui Rong was so angry that her head was smoking, and she started to grab it.
Cui Hengyue moved her palm and held the embroidery needle firmly in her palm.
Shui Rong stopped and gritted her teeth in anger: "You..."
"What are you?" Cui Hengyue said scornfully: "If I really want to die, I can hit such a thick rock wall to death, so why do I need an embroidery needle?"
Shui Rong was speechless for a moment, what the stinky girl said seemed... quite reasonable.
"I've thought about it for a long time. Don't worry, I won't seek death again. You can go back." Cui Hengyue sat down again and said casually.
Shui Rong stared at Cui Hengyue's face for a while, then recalled her actions in the past few days, and found that Cui Hengyue had indeed thought about it and had no intention of seeking death.
"No, your injury hasn't healed yet." Shui Rong refused to leave.
Cui Hengyue secretly kicked Qionghua.
Qionghua immediately showed a smile: "Miss Shui Rong, Yueyue's injuries are all healed. Master Mingjue said that from today on, Yueyue doesn't need to take medicine."
Shui Rong thought about it and realized that Mingjue had said this in the morning, "That's okay..."
Hearing this, Cui Hengyue was overjoyed. Thinking that there was no need for any follow-up tactics, they left on their own initiative. Unexpectedly, Shui Rong said something else the next moment.
"I asked Shui Fu to return to the North Hall first, and I will continue to guard here."
Cui Hengyue: "..."
This is forcing her, so she won't be polite.
Cui Hengyue held the embroidery needle and stabbed it into the embroidery cloth.
Qionghua glanced at Cui Hengyue and took out a pair of embroidered shoes, "Ms. Shui Rong, I have already made the shoes you want me to make. You check it and see if there is anything that is not done well. I will make some changes."
.”
Seeing the embroidered shoes in Qionghua's hand, Shui Rong's eyes flashed with amazement. She took it over hastily and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became and she couldn't help but praise:
"I didn't expect that there is such a skillful embroiderer hidden in the south hall. These shoes are the best pair of shoes I have ever seen."
Qionghua was embarrassed by the praise and her cheeks were slightly red: "Little lady Shui Rong is so complimentary. This is nothing..."
Speaking of this, Qionghua remembered something and took out something from the cabinet at the back, "Miss Shui Rong, this is made for you. I hope you don't dislike it."
What Qionghua took out was also a pair of embroidered shoes. The color and fabric were exactly the same as the shoes in Shui Rong's hands, but the patterns were different.
Shui Rong was a little stunned: "This is..."
"Oh, I saw there was a lot of fabric left in the fabric you sent, so I made another pair."
Qionghua first pointed to the shoes in Shui Rong's hand: "These shoes are for Miss Shui Fu. I looked at the size and knew they were made for Miss Shui Fu."
Then he stretched the shoes in his hands forward: "Later I saw that there was a lot of fabric left, so I made another pair according to your size."
Seeing that Shui Rong didn't speak, Qiong Hua suddenly became uneasy: "Miss Shui Rong, is it that my pair doesn't look good and you don't like it?"
"No, no, you did a great job, I like it."
Shui Rong put down the shoes in her hands, took the shoes from Qionghua, and tried them on the spot: "Well, they fit very well. How did you know my size?"
Qionghua lowered her head in embarrassment: "I... have made a lot, and I can tell the size just by looking at it..."
Not hearing Shui Rong's voice, Qionghua raised her head in confusion, but saw Cui Hengyue slowly lowering Shui Rong to the ground while she was being knocked unconscious. She was startled and hurriedly went to help.
"Yueyue, why did you take action? Didn't you even give me a warning?"
"What's the point of warning? When the opportunity comes, of course we should act decisively."
Cui Hengyue put Shuirong on the ground and began to search her body.
"Why is there nothing? My dagger is not on her either."
After searching carefully, Cui Hengyue found nothing. She couldn't help frowning at Shui Rong: "This girl is really different from Shui Rong. She doesn't wear any hairpins or hairpins, and she doesn't even have anything extra on her body.
"
Qionghua stood aside and said with emotion: "Miss Shui Rong may have stayed in Yunxuan Temple for a long time and was inspired by the Buddha to not care about these foreign objects."
Cui Hengyue: "..."
If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll have to become a monk.
"The ground is too cold. What if you catch a cold? Let's put Miss Shui Rong on the bed." Qionghua looked at Shui Rong's plain face and felt a little unbearable.
"No time." Cui Hengyue grabbed Qionghua and ran towards the door.
Arriving in front of the door, Cui Hengyue let go of Qionghua, opened the door gently, and cautiously put her head out to take a look.
"No one is outside, let's go."
Cui Hengyue left the room, scanning the surroundings vigilantly while walking quickly.
Qionghua didn't dare to delay and kept up quickly.
Outside the door is a passage, with candlesticks on both sides of the wall lit. At the end of the passage is a door in the middle, with a small room on both sides. One of them was originally the guard's duty room, but is now the room of Shui Fu and Shui Rong.
There is another room that belongs to Qionghua, but after Cui Hengyue moved into the North Cave, Qionghua has been guarding Cui Hengyue and never left.
The two came to the cabin. Cui Hengyue carefully looked at the duty room and saw no one inside, so she walked towards the door.
Cui Hengyue did not open the door immediately, but whispered to Qionghua: "Go and open the door, and I will deal with the guards outside."
"good."
Qionghua crossed Cui Hengyue, grabbed the door knocker with both hands, and pulled hard.
"squeak--"
The door slowly opened.
Cui Hengyue hid aside and took a stance, waiting for the guards to come in and punching each one.
However, the door opened, but no one came in.
Cui Hengyue was confused and signaled Qionghua to retreat, while she cautiously moved out step by step.
When he reached the threshold, Cui Hengyue raised his foot to step forward, then retracted and stretched his head out.
"scare!"
Seeing Cui Hengyue jump back a big step, looking frightened, Qionghua quickly ran over: "Yueyue, what's wrong?"
"The guards are right outside the door." Cui Hengyue pointed.
Qionghua's face was full of confusion: "Why don't they come in?"
"Could it be that... there is a rule in the South Palace that the guards cannot touch the people in the cave?" Cui Hengyue thought for a while, but it seemed that there was no such rule.
That day, Water Fu even attacked her. Wasn't she in the cave at that time?
Qionghua suddenly grabbed Cui Hengyue's arm and whispered: "Yueyue, are they waiting for us to go out? As long as we go out of this gate, they will have reason to beat us."
While talking, Qionghua advised Cui Hengyue: "We'd better go back. There are so many guards outside, we can't defeat them."
"We're all here, how can we go back?"
Cui Hengyue refused to give up, grabbed Qionghua's hand and rushed outside.
Just die!
"ah--"
Cui Hengyue roared and rushed out of the door, waving his fists vigorously to prevent anyone from approaching him.
However, the guards outside stood there, indifferent.
Cui Hengyue froze in place in embarrassment.
After a while, when he saw that the guards were still motionless, Cui Hengyue couldn't help but said: "You won't arrest me?"
A guard on the left side of the gate said calmly: "Why should I arrest you?"
"Didn't you say that there are rules in the South Palace, and you can't come out after entering the North Cave? I'm out now, and you won't arrest me?" Cui Hengyue was confused. Could it be that the memory in her mind was wrong?
The guard said expressionlessly: "The King of Chu has ordered that Cui Hengyue can enter and leave the North Cave at will."
Cui Hengyue: "..."
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
"Great, Yueyue, we can go out." Qionghua happily crossed the threshold and ran towards Cui Hengyue.
But just after crossing the threshold, Qionghua was stopped by the guard: "She can come in and out at will, but you can't."
After saying that, the guard roughly pushed Qionghua in and closed the door.
