Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 247 Stopped by the Palace Ladies and Eunuchs
But she must not take the initiative to say it.

If it was okay before, it's not okay now.

As long as she takes the initiative, it's too deliberate.

What if it creates the illusion that he thinks she has him in her heart...

Cheng Qing sighed, emotional matters are too troublesome.

But in the end, Zhao Wuyuan didn't ask. He picked up the topic that he had missed at the beginning and said: "Since we have to wait and see, I won't look for you again recently. If anything happens, we will send messages to each other."

Cheng Qing nodded.

"I have another question to ask you." Zhao Wuyuan said.

"What's the question?" Cheng Qing looked at him expectantly.

Zhao Wuyuan did not see what she expected, but asked: "In your plan, are you preparing to help the Third Emperor Brother defeat the First Emperor Brother, or are you going to let the Third Emperor Brother be defeated by the First Emperor Brother?"

Cheng Qing sighed inwardly, this kind of thing should be left to chance.

"For now, I prefer the former. The former is more familiar and they are old opponents. Zhao Wujue is different. There are people from the Yuan Kingdom behind him. This is the most difficult thing."

Zhao Wuyuan frowned, nodded, and said: "Indeed, the eldest brother is too confused. How can he collude with the enemy? I don't even think about it, what good can this do to him?"

Cheng Qing shook his head and said: "I have thought about this matter again and again, and I feel that there must be something hidden behind him. Otherwise, taking such a big risk, wouldn't it be giving away the country to others?"

"Yes." Zhao Wuyuan said: "But it is not easy to know the hidden truth behind it."

Cheng Qing touched his chin and said, "I'm not afraid of that. As long as there is a secret behind him, we will definitely be able to dig it out."

"Ah."

"If there is any news or accident, I will tell you as soon as possible, and leave the rest to me." Cheng Qing looked at him and said.

Zhao Wuyuan nodded, looking at her with a strange light in his eyes.

If she said this when he didn't know she was Cheng Yue, he wouldn't feel anything.

Now that I know it, that feeling of peace of mind suddenly fills my heart.

She said leave it to her, then it must be fine.

He finally understood why her ability made him feel as strong as Cheng Yue's. It turned out that they were the same person.

Fortunately, she didn't die.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Cheng Qing was so frightened by his gaze that he wanted to leave.

"Yeah." Zhao Wuyuan nodded.

Cheng Qing turned around and left. Zhao Wuyuan looked at her back, his eyes turning to nostalgia.

……

After leaving the palace, Cheng Qing did not return to the military camp immediately, but went to the palace for a walk.

As the princess and the commander of the Royal Forest Army, she can walk freely in the harem without hindrance.

The palace people are cleaning up the traces from last night. They are both afraid and dare not not do it.

When Cheng Qing walked up to them, he usually just stood and lowered his head, waiting for her to leave first, and then left in a hurry. Now they all stood up and bowed politely.

"The slave (servant) has met the princess."

Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Princess."

Cheng Qing was about to leave, but the maids and eunuchs looked at each other, stopped her, smiled flatteringly, and said, "Master, wait a moment, the servants want to ask you something, may I?"

It can be said that this question is quite bold. If they change their temper, they may be punished on the spot.

But Cheng Qing is different. She often hangs around the palace and everyone knows her.

Although I have never been in contact with her, I usually see her as very kind.

She gets along well with her subordinates, and sometimes she can even hear the guards calling her boss.That's why they dared to stop her.

"Okay." Cheng Qing nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

"Those will-o'-the-wisps last night..." A court lady looked at the other person in the middle of her sentence, bit her lower lip and lowered her head, not daring to ask any more questions.

Cheng Qing nodded clearly and said, "Those so-called will-o'-the-wisps are all caused by sulfur powder."

"Really?" the palace maid asked cautiously.

"If you don't believe it, you can buy some and play with it yourself. It's best to order it at night, so that the next day, there will be a lot of legends and stories, and maybe many old events can be revealed to you."

Cheng Qing's words were fun and interesting, and even the timid ones were amused by her.

"What the princess said is funny, I will try it later to scare my little boy who always teases me." A young eunuch also made a joke.

"And Princess, what happened to those dead 'ghosts'?" the eunuch asked.

Cheng Qing sighed: "As you know, things are not peaceful recently. Since they dare to come out and pretend to be ghosts to scare people, it means they have no intention of going back if they are caught."

"You mean they committed suicide?" the eunuch asked.

Cheng Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Dare to play tricks in the palace is a capital crime. Even if they don't die, the emperor will not let them off lightly."

"There are gods and ghosts in the palace. Even if I were given great courage, I would not dare." The eunuch said.

"Okay, it's okay. It's all man-made. It just looks scary. Just like these bloody words you are cleaning up now, written in dog blood, are they scary?" Cheng Qing asked.

"Is this bullshit?" Everyone turned around.

"Otherwise, what do you think it is?" Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, it's nothing, I'll leave first."

"Hey, princess, don't leave yet." Everyone stopped her again.

Cheng Qing asked funnyly: "What are you doing? If the person in charge sees you, you will be scolded."

"Princess, we just want to tell you something, there is no malice." The maid said.

Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"

The crowd nodded.

Cheng Qing leaned his ear slightly and said, "You guys go ahead and I'll listen."

Everyone gathered around and started chatting.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Cheng Qing raised his hand to stop their words and said, "Say them one by one. Now that they are all gathered together, whose advice should I listen to?"

"Good good."

Everyone agreed, quickly discussed the order, and told her everything they knew.

After Cheng Qing listened, he stood up with his arms folded and said, "You know quite a lot."

"Isn't this in the palace? In terms of safety, we have to rely on the princess." The eunuch smiled.

Cheng Qing smiled, nodded, then patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, don't laugh so happily, be low-key and sad."

"Yes, yes, yes." The eunuch responded quickly.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go somewhere else." Cheng Qing said.

"Yes!"

Everyone then turned around to wipe off the bloody words on the wall. They suddenly became more energetic and no longer afraid.

Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows, turned around and chose a random direction.

These eunuchs and maids were usually very afraid of getting into trouble, but today they took the initiative to find her.
