Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 42

"what--"

Xie Shuangge woke up screaming, looked at the white mist fading in front of her eyes, and panted blankly for a while, her heart was beating like a drum and her ears were buzzing, during those few breaths, she couldn't hear anything, what I can't see it, and the whole person has lost consciousness.

Is that a dream?

Xie Shuangge regained consciousness a little and touched his face, it was intact and not burned.

She looked around vigilantly again, there was no fire, and it was still in Yu Peili.

There was never a moment when she felt that Yu Peili was so safe.

After recovering her breathing, she stood up, her hands and feet were still weak, and she almost fell back down.

"What a terrible dream..."

She patted her chest with lingering fear, thinking of the last woman's face that was almost the same as her own, and thinking of her desperate and hateful eyes, she felt heartbroken.

"really weird."

How could such a good person dream of these things?
Just as Xie Shuangge's heartbeat slowed down, the jade pendant suddenly shook, so frightened that she immediately knelt down and hugged her head.

She closed her eyes and waited for a moment, and a heavy breath came from her ears.

Is it Chu Wuhen?

What's up with him?Listening to this voice, also having nightmares?

Xie Shuangge opened his eyes suspiciously and looked out, half of the window was dark and the other was bright, as if he was buried under the quilt.

"It turned out that the jade pendant slipped off the pillow, no wonder it shook."

Xie Shuangge sat down, physically and mentally exhausted, she couldn't stand being so frightened early in the morning.

Chu Wuhen sat on the bed, cold sweat slid down his forehead and disappeared into his clothes.

The Adam's apple rolled twice quickly, and he pressed the center of his brows to relax, "How could you have such a dream?"

Xie Shuangge's ears perked up, "It really is a nightmare! Such a coincidence?"

Chu Wuhen's breathing gradually stabilized. He reached out to touch the jade pendant, but it was empty. He quickly turned around and saw that the place where the jade pendant was originally placed was empty. .

Heaving a sigh of relief, he took the jade pendant back and held it in his palm for a look, "It's fine."

Xie Shuangge met his face unexpectedly, and the scene of last night flooded her mind again. She ground her teeth and waved her fist at him, but it was a pity that Chu Wuhen couldn't see it.

It was still early, but he couldn't sleep even when he lay down, so Chu Wuhen simply got up, put on his coat and pushed open the door, the maid guarding the door saw him and hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord."

"Have someone prepare breakfast."

"Yes."

The servant girl bowed her eyebrows and stepped back, Meili brought someone in with water and handkerchiefs, Chu Wuhen glanced at them, told them to put down the things, and then washed up on their own.

Xie Shuangge looked at the maids boredly, and found that they were all hanging their heads, not daring to look at Chu Wuhen at all, and couldn't help but sigh, "Bai Xia has such a good skin, no one likes him."

Chu Wuhen wiped off the water from his face and sat down at the table, tied his hair and put on a crown by himself.

After tidying up, he put the purse and jade on, and Xie Shuangge's purse was carefully locked by him.

"master--"

Xin Lu's voice moved from far to near, and Xie Shuangge saw a figure rushing from outside the courtyard, almost bumping into the maids who were carrying breakfast.

"Hey—you go first."

Xin Lu stood still and turned to let them in.

Chu Wuhen looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

Xin Lu didn't say a word, he walked in and gave him the things in his bosom after the maids set the dishes and stepped back.

Xie Shuangge took a closer look, it looked like a key?
Chu Wuhen was also stunned for a moment: "Give it to me?"

"It was delivered by the person who delivered the food after going around several times early in the morning."

He took out another letter and handed it to him: "There is also this, the prince said, the letter needs to be opened by you personally. He has already told Zhen Guogong and the old lady what you mean, they can understand, but they hope you can Recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors."

Xin Lu was also half-knowledgeable and didn't understand the deep meaning, but he repeated what the other party said.

After hearing this, Chu Wuhen pursed his lower lip, his gaze fell heavily on the keys and the letter, and he remained silent for a long time.

Xin Lu asked in a low voice: "Master, what do you mean——don't accept it?"

There were slight ripples in Chu Wuhen's eyes, and before Xin Lu could see clearly, he reached out and took the things over, "Take it."

"Okay, do you want to write back?" Xin Lu straightened up and asked with a smile.

Chu Wuhen shook his head: "No need, don't say anything, and don't have any contact with that side."

Xin Lu was puzzled: "Why?"

Chu Wuhen got up, took the key and the letter and went into the inner room, "People with fishy clothes should not harm good people."

Xin Lu: "..."

He looked at Chu Wuhen's back, hesitated to speak, and sighed helplessly, "Yes, this subordinate knows."

Chu Wuhen said it decisively, but behind the screen, he hesitated several times while holding the letter. He wanted to open it but dared not open it.

"You don't have to suffer so much."

Xie Shuangge muttered softly, "Your grandmother and uncle must miss you very much, knowing that you are going to risk your life, how could they sit idly by?"

Chu Wuhen's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper and took a look.

The above content is similar to what Du Shenzhi said, and also explained the origin of the key. This is the key to the Du family's warehouse. With this key, you can go to any shop of the Du family to transfer people or get money.

Chu Wuhen tightened his hands, the handwriting on the last line of the letter was obviously different, more beautiful.

"...No hate my grandson, my grandmother is very happy that you have grown up so much, and you are still so capable, but now we can't recognize each other. I understand your difficulties and respect your choice, but there is one thing, no matter what, you They are all descendants of my Du family, the Duke of Zhen will always stand behind you, don't be afraid."

Chu Wuhen has always been the only one who scares people, when did someone tell him not to be afraid?
He raised his head and closed his eyes.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, Xie Shuangge looked curiously, and saw a drop of water suddenly fell on the paper, blurring a little dark color.

Her heart tightened, "Chu Wuhen cried?"

At this moment, a sentence popped up in her mind: "A man doesn't flick his tears easily, because he hasn't reached the point of sadness (1)."

……

After tidying up, Chu Wuhen entered the palace again like a normal person, met many palace people along the way and saluted him one after another.

Chu Wuhen didn't look sideways, walked forward holding the handle of the knife, and listened to his subordinates reporting to him the affairs of the palace. Passing by the corner of the imperial garden, he saw a person dressed as a low-level court lady kneeling on the ground. Surrounded by a few eunuchs and maids, they were giggling, not knowing what to say.

But looking at this posture, one can guess that he is probably bullying someone.

Xin Zhi asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to go down and drive them away?"

Chu Wuhen raised his hand: "Hush."

Xin Zhi immediately shut up, and the group eavesdropped openly under the cover of rockery and flowers.
