Chapter 382 Old Eight Honey Burger

Cheng Xiaoxiao happily spun around on the ground, naturally missing Chu Yunshen's relieved look.

Chu Yunshen was now thinking more about Cheng Xiao Xiao, so he was getting more and more uncomfortable when facing Cheng Xiao Xiao's lion cat in this state.

In fact, it could also be seen from Chu Yunshen's always disobedient ear, which turned pink on its own when it moved, so biased that Chu Yunshen himself didn't even realize it.

It was only Cheng Xiaoxiao who was confused, anyone else would have realized it long ago.

On the ground, she was still immersed in the joy of Zhu Rong's return to the mansion, and only when she got tired of bouncing around on the ground did she look pitifully at Chu Yunshen again, counting on Chu Yunshen to pick her up again.

"Shall I call Zhu Rong in now?"

After Chu Yunshen finished adjusting his breath, he finally reached out and carried her back into his arms once again.

Well, well, well!

Cheng Xiaoxiao first nodded obediently, then quickly shook her head frantically.

It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't had time to tell Zhu Rong her true identity in the past few days ah, Zhu Rong didn't know that she was the lion cat at this time.

Then don't meet me. At least let me meet again when I'm back in my body, so I can explain it in person, right?

Seeing that the lion cat looked preoccupied, Chu Yunshen didn't ask any more, and just held the lion cat in silence while helping her comb her smooth fur.

Meeting is not an option, but you can tell me how Rong Rong came back.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had a sudden thought and hurriedly gestured at Chu Yunshen again, and in the end, she even went directly to the desk to start 'creating'.

Through Chu Yunshen's description, she realized that after they left that day, quite a few other things happened in the palace later.

On the same night that Cheng Xiaoxiao fell unconscious, Zhu Rong woke up in his own separate garden.

Pretend to be awake, to be precise.

Chu Jingxiao didn't kick Zhu Rong at all with that kick, she was only thinking that it would be better to do more than less.

She pretended to wake up for no other reason than to fake her death as originally planned by Chu Yunshen.

That's right, Mubai is a great healer, so how could he not prepare these get-out-of-jail medicines for Zhu Rong.

After Zhu Rong finished writing his desperate letter on the table, he took the pill he had prepared beforehand.

When her body was sent out of the palace to be buried by Songtao, who had already been disguised and dressed up, the two of them then secretly returned to King Jing's residence overnight.

Everything in here was originally quite smooth, it was Chu Hongzhen who added a little more when he ordered.

That is, the little eunuchs who are to be buried will see Zhu Rong being buried with their own eyes before they are allowed to return to resume their duties.

Zhu Rong had to be re-excavated by Song Tao later, or else they probably would have been able to return to the house earlier.

Because of this incident, a ghost story was circulated in that area for a long time afterwards, saying that the female ghost had crawled out of the coffin and resurrected, and had run away with the man who had come to her rescue.

It sounds kinda creepy and romantic, but those are all afterthoughts.

Now the palace can not know this, go back to resume the small eunuch will not be clear about these things.

Outside the imperial study, the little eunuch walked over with small broken steps. Yuan Qing had originally planned to send him down at the door, but he didn't expect Chu Hongzhen to still hear the commotion.

"Yuanqing, let him in."

Yuan Qing had to lead the little eunuch in and said guiltily after kneeling down to Chu Hongzhen,

"Long live the master, is it noisy to you? I told him to keep his voice down, who knows it still disturbed you, go back and I'll chastise him."

Yuan Qing said as he fiercely gouged out the little eunuch, frightening him so much that he hurriedly shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything.

"There is no harm, and I am not asleep."

Chu Hongzhen frowned tightly, his brows and eyes were all tired.

"But watching people get buried?"

He asked in a seemingly unintentional manner as he reached up and rubbed his temples.

"Report to the long-lived master, slave watched with his own eyes small Taozi buried people down, and so that the soil are buried tightly slave only came back."

The little eunuch replied respectfully.

If it wasn't for Yuan Qing looking at him all the time, I guess he would have been able to describe the whole process in detail.

"But have you found a nice secluded and clean place?"

Chu Hongzhen released his massaging hand and slightly lowered his eyes to look at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground.

"All is to follow the command of long-lived master to do, the slave also Yun Zhaoyi set up a wooden monument." The little eunuch smiled somewhat embarrassed, he rubbed his hands blushingly, "It's just that the slave's words are a little hard to read, and I don't know a few words, so I'm afraid that it's not very well written."

Carefully measuring Chu Hongzhen's expression, seeing Chu Hongzhen that look of uncertainty, Yuan Qing also can not feel clearly Hongzhen at this time is happy or sad.

"You lackey are really wanton, doing all the unnecessary things! Don't be so quick to get down and be punished, and don't show up in front of His Majesty."

Captured Chu Hongzhen easily stretching the brows and then lightly knit together, Yuan Qing hurriedly Chu Hongzhen first step reprimanded the little eunuch.

Chu Hongzhen, however, waved his hand as the little eunuch kowtowed in shock and admitted his mistake, and said to Yuan Qing in a nonchalant manner,

"When did I ever say it was wrong?"

Yuan Qing froze there for a split second and scrambled to kneel down and admit his fault to Chu Hongzhen.

Who knows that Chu Hongzhen just made a gesture without caring and didn't let Yuan Qing continue to kneel down. He slightly bent his body to the little eunuch who was still kneeling stupidly on the ground and asked,

"What's your name?"

"Minion, Minion, Minion's name is Kiddo."

"Little Dezi, you've done well. From now on, you'll follow Yuan Qing."

Chu Hongzhen finished also does not care about the small dezi kneeling on the ground thankful kowtow, even more did not pay attention to Yuan Qing stupidly stood aside is what reaction.

"I'm going out on my own for a walk, none of you need to follow me."

Chu Hongzhen instructed Yuan Qing, who hurriedly followed him out, as well as the other courtiers, while he himself walked out of the Imperial Study Room with large strides.

The night of the palace is brightly lit everywhere, at first all the way there are palace people see Chu Hongzhen after a face of shock kneeling to salute, with Chu Hongzhen farther and farther away, the road under his feet is more and more remote, the surrounding scenery is also more and more desolate.

Finally, Chu Hongzhen stopped.

In front of him was a deserted palace, one that was even more desolate than the Jaizi Hall, and one that he could tell at a glance that few people came here.

The outside of the palace was up with cobwebs and the doors were tattered.

Under the gray moonlight, Chu Hongzhen stared at the gray plaque of the 'Yee He Palace' with an undying expression, and finally walked up and pushed open the heavy door of the palace.

"How did this place get so broken?"

Chu Hongzhen also did not bring a lantern, a push open the door was also split in the face of the dust choked straight sneezing.

"What are these lackeys in the palace for! This is how they fool me on weekdays."

He covered his mouth and nose with one hand and waved his other hand carelessly in front of him.

He carefully explored the ground, taking every step as steady as he could.

If Cheng Xiaoxia were here she would definitely cry out in surprise, because the same scene, the same words, changing the time to daytime, had also happened once in this palace.

That was still the first time Cheng Xiaoxiao Palace Banquet had entered the palace, and the first time she had met Chu Yunshen in person.

At that time, she was the one who first followed Chu Yunshen here and later went to the palace banquet to turn into a human being.

That's right, this was exactly where Chu Yunshen had come last time, Chu Yunshen's mother consort's palace.

Groping for the candlestick in the temple and feeling the remnants of candles still on the candlestick, Chu Hongzhen finally loosened his tightly wrinkled brow in relief.

As he blew on the fire discount, there was finally a glimmer of light inside the large palace.

Chu Hongzhen held up the candlestick with only a small candle left, and gently pushed open the cobwebbed door of the inner hall.

The inner hall was a bit tidier than the outside, with only an unknown glazed vase on the table, and not much other decoration besides.

Chu Hongzhen's hand slid over the bronze mirror on the dresser, which was also covered with a layer of light dust, and his hand was immediately dirty in a large area.

But he stroked it covetously as if it were nothing, and then went back to the empty couch.

Looking at the cold bed and couch, Chu Hongzhen's expression had a hint of relief.

When the Shen Fei is here to go, Chu Hongzhen also remembered that day he came late to see is the bed lying lifeless woman.

His fists slowly clenched, and the candlestick he held up in his left hand shook slightly from his exertion.

Crystallized candle oil dripped down the side of the bed and quickly splattered into flowers, like the tears of someone who had fallen.

Chu Hongzhen took a deep breath and closed his eyes, coming over for a while before opening them.

Footsteps moving, looking at the opposite wall of the portrait in a daze, he thought for a moment and finally stopped hesitating, raised his steps and walked to the portrait.

The candles on the candlestick only left a large pool of candle oil, looking at the light of this light is not much time to go out, Chu Hongzhen simply directly ahead of the blow out the candle.

The characteristic green smoke from the extinguished candles curled up, and the portrait was even more blurred under the shroud of smoke.

Chu Hongzhen, however, seems to not mind at all, on the few moonlight coming in through the window, looking fondly at the woman on the portrait.

The woman in the painting still had the same exquisite jade face, and her entire floating feeling was completely undiminished.

"You're still as beautiful as ever."

Chu Hongzhen wanted to reach out to touch the face of the woman in the painting, and when he saw the dust on his hands, he silently put down the hand he had just raised.

"Concubine Shen, I have come to see you. Ten years have passed in a flash, time flies." He sighed at the portrait.

His eyes were full of lingering love, looking at him this way was somewhat similar to some days ago, the time he was with Zhu Rong after being hit by the 'Beauty Incense'.

"Shen'er is now the Prince of Jing, and has a lion cat, and his disposition is a few points better than before."

It was as if he was talking to Princess Shen in a family way, and he was talking about small and irrelevant things.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something and sighed at the portrait,

"I have not forgotten my promise to you all these years, and I will not forget what I have said. As for Shen'er, let him be his idle Prince Jing for the rest of his life."

Seemingly finding the topic too heavy, he was silent for a while before changing the subject again,

"By the way, a few days ago there came a little girl in the palace whose eyes are very similar to yours, and her nature is also similar. It's just a bit of a pity that she's still not the same as you."

Chu Hongzhen recalled himself, suddenly a low laugh, and then the more he laughed, the louder he laughed, and when he lifted his head and straightened up, his narrow eyes were glittering with strange crystals.

"She left me too, just like you."

His smile was characterized by an indescribable sadness, his eyes were long and deep, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in a wave of sadness that he could not extricate himself from for a long time.

"You're all afraid of me, and you're all scrambling to be the first to go. Do you know this, Princess Shen? I also lost a prince today, and my oldest eight is gone."
