Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 178 Looking for the Fifth Princess

After Xia Keyu came back from the suburbs, as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw a familiar figure in the courtyard.

It was Chu Yuan who stood tall, wearing a silver-white robe embroidered with dark gray cloud patterns.

The way he behaves is like that of a noble prince, but he also reveals a bit of an aura that prevents strangers from entering.

Hearing some movement, he turned around and saw Xia Keyu, with a rare tenderness on his cold face.

Seeing this, Qingya said happily: "It turns out Duke Chu is here~" and went to make tea.

Although Qingya is a little afraid of Duke Chu, her young lady will become happy when she sees Duke Chu.The lady is happy, and Qingya naturally feels happy in her heart.

Xia Keyu signaled Chu Yuan to speak inside the room. When she saw Chu Yuan, she said with a bit of self-deprecation:
"Could it be that my scolding of the Wei family spread throughout the capital, and even you heard it?"

There was a hint of smile in the corner of Chu Yuan's eyes, but he did not comment. Instead, he changed the topic and said:

"His Majesty found out about the eunuch Gao Rang, and secretly arranged a plan. An accident happened during bone setting, and Gao Rang became completely lame."

Xia Keyu nodded, this was good news.The emperor was already suspicious, so how could he endure having someone else's spy by his side?

Gao Rang was lame, which meant that he could no longer return to serve His Majesty.In the future, there will be one less help from the third prince.

After talking about the business, Chu Yuan hesitated again and again and asked: "Are you still used to using the fragrant powder that day?"

When Xia Keyu heard the sound, a hint of obvious surprise flashed across his face, he patted his forehead gently and said:

"It turns out that the fragrant powder was given by you, and I was wondering why a box of fragrant powder appeared out of nowhere."

Just as he was talking, Qing Ya opened the door and came in, carrying the brewed tea.

Xia Keyu said hurriedly: "Qingya, quickly bring over the box of fragrant powder I asked you to put away a few days ago. It was sent by Duke Chu."

At this time, even Qing Ya softly said "Ah" and hurriedly put down the tea tray and went to look for the put away powder box in the paulownia cabinet.

We really can't blame them, after all, who would have thought that the Guild of Chu State would be so considerate as to give a woman a powder box.

Xia Keyu took the powder box from Qingya and opened it carefully. The extremely fine and white powder made it look like a good powder.

A cool scent of osmanthus came to my face, like cold osmanthus under the moon.

"Smells good~" Xia Keyu sniffed gently and couldn't help but express a bit of joy.

Chu Yuan saw that she liked it, and there was a smile on his lips unconsciously.

Xia Keyu saw all the changes around him, and for some reason, the previous thought came to mind again.

If one day, Chu Yuan knew that she was not her original self, but a fairy fox who had practiced for 500 years, he would probably be as afraid as others and abandon her without hesitation.

She had been determined in her previous cultivation journey. Even if she failed to overcome the tribulation, she never thought of giving up.All because she never had hope for anyone.

Thinking of this, Xia Keyu's smile became a little colder. He put away the powder box and said politely:
"Thank you, Lord Chu, for the gift. I like it very much."

When Chu Yuan heard this, he secretly turned red. After a long while, he said softly: "Don't take what others say to heart. I am responsible for everything."

When Xia Keyu heard the sound, he paused and regarded the words as something he said to coax people. He didn't take it seriously. Instead, he continued to say politely: "I know."

She knew, she knew, but she couldn't really believe him.Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

On the other side, Xia Kelian's life has not been so comfortable recently.

After being beaten by Tian's mother and son, Xia Kelian went home to complain but failed. Instead, Mrs. Tian took the opportunity to take away Lu Ying's contract of prostitution.

As a result, the green warbler, who was already somewhat rebellious, became even more unscrupulous.For Miss Xia Kelian, she was sarcastic and showed no respect at all.

However, Lu Ying now has Madam Tian supporting her. Even Xia Kelian does not dare to openly offend her and can only swallow her anger.

But Xia Kelian is not a vegetarian. She has always been scheming and used all means to climb up.

She could also see that now that her own mother had lost power in the palace, she would not be reliable in the short term.She didn't know how she offended the third prince, so she didn't dare to show her face again for the time being.

The Wei family was exiled and could no longer be contacted.

But when she designed Xia Keyu before, she had contact with the fifth princess in the palace.

She found out from her godmother that the fifth princess was now training in Baotong Temple.After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how miserable the fifth princess is, she is still a royal princess.

If she wants to get another chance, she must catch the fifth princess.

Thinking of this, Xia Kelian pretended to be aggrieved and kept herself humble to Mrs. Tian and Sister Tian. She even looked kind and cheerful to the maid Lu Ying.

It seemed that she didn't remember anything she had been beaten in the past.

After a few days like this, Xia Kelian smiled and suggested:
"Mom, eldest sister, I see that there is no movement in my stomach. I heard that Baotong Temple is the most effective for praying for a child. Otherwise, I'd better go to the temple to worship."

Mrs. Tian looked at Xia Kelian suspiciously, guessing that she probably had other ideas, but she also felt that maybe Xia Kelian had been beaten and became more honest.

Then he pointed to the green warbler beside him and said:
"In that case, then you can take her with you and help her too~"

Ever since Lu Ying took away the deed of prostitution from the Xia family, she has become more and more proud, with a look of arrogance on her face.

If she could give birth to an heir for the Tian family before her own daughter, then she would be a great contributor to the Tian family.At that time, she can take the opportunity to ask for her deed of sale from the Tian family, and maybe she will have a chance to escape from slavery.

Green Ying can have these thoughts because she is naturally influenced by her master Aunt Rong and Xia Kelian day and night, always thinking of replacing her.

Xia Kelian looked at the appearance of this bitch, her teeth itched with hatred, but she didn't show it on her face.He just responded obediently.

In this way, Xia Kelian took her maid Lu Ying to Baotong Temple.

The green warbler is now very angry. The basket contains the fruits and incense candles that were bought in advance, but the green warbler refuses to carry the basket.

Xia Kelian could only carry the basket by herself, and secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would make this deceitful slave look good.

Seeing Ganye Temple approaching, Xia Kelian thought in her heart, how could she send Lu Ying away and go to find the fifth princess alone.

"Lv Ying, there is a penny of silver here. You can buy some snacks for worship. If there is any extra money, you can keep it for yourself."

Sure enough, when she heard that she could keep the remaining money by herself, there was no reason for Lu Ying's reluctance. She took the money and went straight to the place selling snacks.

Xia Kelian herself carried a basket and started to go to Baotong Temple to look for the fifth princess.
