Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 25: First Pregnancy (2)
Lord Hou really wants to find this Di Ji? "Zhao Qingling frowned slightly, and looked at Chu Huotian who was sitting by the desk:" Not to mention that the timing is not right now, even if he really found her, how will Lord Hou arrange her whereabouts? "Chu Huotian didn't say a word, he just raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile on his handsome face.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Qingling knew that there was no room for discussion on this matter.He sighed for a long time, looked at him sideways and sighed: "The Emperor of Han pays attention to the color of the country. Is the marquis's heart as dry as an ancient well really starting to cause trouble?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long hair suddenly flew towards his face.Zhao Qingling groaned, and hurriedly shouted: "Murder has been silenced!" He turned around lightly, and he easily grabbed the flying long hair in his hand.

Chu Huotian laughed and scolded: "Don't show off your kung fu, put it away quickly, if you let outsiders know that you, Mr. Zhao, who has no power to bind a chicken, can know martial arts, how much trouble will it be?"

Zhao Qingling lifted the hem of her robe with a smile, sat back on the chair gracefully, patted her long hair and said with a smile: "If you talk about turmoil, the 'Loyal, Brave and Dinghou' with a heart like a stone has moved everyone's heart, this is a great anecdote in the Chu Kingdom .”

Chu Huotian snorted, turned his head and said, "Isn't this because I felt sorry for her before? It would be considered a merit if I helped her find her child back." A cough, no more words.

Zhao Qingling suppressed her laughter, nodded and said: "Yes. This subordinate will definitely live up to the great trust of Lord Hou." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "Speaking of which, this subordinate really can't take orders for the time being. It's complicated. The undercover spies, secret guards, and several groups of informants are all dispatched around the capital. While monitoring the Queen's actions, they also need to pay attention to the actions of the King. The bottom line is that there is really no manpower. If Hou Ye really wants to find someone, he should find General Su."

Chu Huotian thought about it carefully, and nodded: "That's right. Zixuan is a member of the army, and now there are several generals in Huadi. It will be more effective if he comes forward."

Zhao Qingling nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mrs. Ouyang is unparalleled in style. She was hailed as the most beautiful woman in China back then, but now it seems that her reputation is well-deserved. However, Master Hou's heart is really No. 1 in the world. Find it for her." Son of others, tsk tsk..."

Chu Huotian heard him gasp in amazement, but his mind gradually drifted away.How can such a woman with a weak appearance but a strong heart make people feel uneasy?She was sad and sad under the moon, as if she was crying under the moon with a lifetime of sadness.With her intelligence, even if he doesn't help her find it, she will risk her life to find it.

Her heart is uncertain, like sand in her hands, the tighter she holds it, the faster it will be lost.So he has always treated her loosely and sincerely.But can she understand his thoughts?And where will her heart go in the end?
The bead curtains are swaying, the agarwood is moving secretly, and the picture of swallows rejuvenating is painted on the dark lacquered screen made of bamboo.Walking inside, there is another gauze curtain, and another floor is where Ouyang Ruo rests at noon.

The beauty collapsed, her long hair drooped slightly, her summer clothes were partly undone, and the sound of her delicate breathing made the room even more peaceful and serene.Dexuan stood by the bead curtain, walked back and forth hesitantly, looked inside slightly, but Ouyang Ruo was still deeply asleep.

Wan Hui came in with a basin of water, saw him in front of the inner room, and asked, "Is there anything important for you?"

Wan Hui is not an outsider, De Xuan went over and said softly.After hearing this, Wan Hui sighed slightly: "Madam is feeling sad these days, and people are very uncomfortable. If you hear the news, you don't know how sad you are behind your back."

Dexuan also frowned and said: "Auntie also knows that Chujing is so big, if you want to find it, it really can't be found in a day and a half. Besides, we have only been in Chujing for three or four months. I think the people who came over there haven't come yet."

While talking, Ouyang Ruo moved slightly, woke up, heard Wan Hui talking to De Xuan, paused for a while, and then slowly got up.Wanhui and Dexuan hurried in to serve.

Ouyang Ruo was cleaned up by Wanhui, saw Dexuan standing aside, looked at his face carefully, and suddenly smiled lightly: "What's the matter? Is there still no clue about what I told you?" Although she said lightly, But there was still a trace of disappointment that couldn't be concealed.

"Back to Madam, this Chujing is a bit big. Although the servants can go out with Mr. Zhao, they always feel that they don't have enough time to find the jade business Madam mentioned." After Dexuan finished speaking, a little worry hung on his face.

Ouyang Ruo didn't say a word, and suddenly said: "If you can know the powerful people in Beijing, it will be much easier to come here. There are many people, and there are many eyeliners." Dexuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he knelt down and kowtowed. : "Madam is wise, why didn't the maidservant think of this trick?"

Ouyang Ruo's face was expressionless, and he put two hairpins on his head, helped him up with his own hands, and said, "I'll leave it to you. Although Lord Hou said he could help you find it, you can't put all your hopes on him." body. I just thought that I could see my child as soon as possible, and I would feel at ease when I die." As he spoke, he choked up slightly.

Wan Hui hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't worry, ma'am, everyone is lucky. The little emperor will definitely find her. Madam's body is important, so don't be so sad that you hurt yourself. Besides, the Marquis has promised. Believe it." It will definitely be found."

Ouyang Ruo nodded, and Dexuan suddenly hesitated and said: "Madam, what this servant said is not pleasant, in case Lord Hou finds it first... this servant is still very worried."

Ouyang Ruo's delicate body trembled slightly, her face tightened, after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said: "No. If he is such a character, if he didn't want to let Ling Yu go, he would have sent someone to act secretly. Now he If you dare to speak, you will definitely not do such shameless things."

Hearing the words, Dexuan even claimed: "It's the slaves who are overwhelmed."

Ouyang Ruo regained his composure, glanced at Dexuan, and said: "You are not wrong, you should suspect it first. But, think about it, after he occupied the Hua Palace in Hua Kingdom, the entire Hua Kingdom He is the most powerful, if he really wants to find Ling Yu, why should he wait until this time. However, fortunately, Ling Yu is the Emperor Concubine, if he is the prince, he will not be able to keep him..."

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Ruo shuddered. If Ling Yu was the prince, then he really couldn't imagine how he would treat her mother and son.

Just as she was engrossed in her thoughts, Mingying suddenly came in and seeing Ouyang Ruo awake, she hurriedly said, "Ma'am, General Su is asking to see you."

Ouyang Ruo was startled suddenly, thinking that he heard it wrong: "General Su? Which General Su?"

Ming Ying asked suspiciously: "Is it General Su? Is there another general named Su under Lord Hou?"

Ouyang Ruo was even more surprised, he stood up for a while before asking: "Is it really him? What is he doing here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly turned back to the screen to change his clothes, and said to Mingying while picking out the clothes: "Go and invite General Su to drink tea, oh, hurry up and serve the plate of lotus seed and red date cake that I made this morning."

Ouyang Ruo said hesitating again and again, and chose a pink and purple embroidered Roland floor-length dress, wearing a same-color quilted gauze and engraved gold silk Luo gown, with a treasured snail bun on her head, and a few thin pearls dotted on her hair. Chai, small but very elegant.On the forehead is a white jade lotus lily Huasheng.Even more, her face is like jade, and her facial features are picturesque. Wanhui looked at her with a radiant spirit, and she was stunned for a while before saying: "Ma'am, today's makeup is very good. It should be like this every day."

Ouyang Ruo put on a little rouge again, looked in the mirror, and felt that the makeup on it seemed a little thicker, so she wiped off some more, and then she felt appropriate. Wan Hui waited on her side, and said with a smile: "Madam is so solemn, Those who didn’t know thought they were going to see Lord Hou.”

After hearing this, Ouyang Ruo stopped the rouge in her hand, and glanced at the face in the bronze mirror. She had a beautiful face and unparalleled elegance, but a sense of astringency rose from the bottom of her heart, which could not be wiped off.

"Let's go, Auntie. Don't make General Su wait too long." Ouyang Ruo said lazily after regaining consciousness, but the spirit just now had disappeared.

Seeing her fluctuating expression, Wan Hui thought that she was suffering from mood swings during pregnancy, so she helped her out without asking any further questions.

Ouyang Ruo walked out of the outer hall slowly, and saw a figure standing tall and straight like an arrow standing in front of the hall, staring at the osmanthus tree outside.Today he is wearing a light blue robe with navy blue edges. The robe is simple and clean, and the jade belt around his waist is decorated with only two ordinary sapphires. His aura is awe-inspiring, like a high-quality sword, its brilliance is scorching, but it is as cold as snow.

Ouyang Ruo was stunned for a while, stepped forward, and said softly: "My concubine, Ouyang, has seen General Su."

Su Yanqing came back to her senses, and hurriedly clasped her fists in salute: "Su Yanqing, my subordinate, has seen Mrs. Seven."

Ouyang Ruo hurriedly said again, "The concubine was rescued by the general last time. I haven't thanked the general yet. May I ask if the injury on the general's arm has healed?"

Su Yanqing was slightly taken aback, touched her arm and said, "It's just a skin injury, it's already healed." After speaking, the two looked at each other, but each of them avoided it slightly unnaturally.

Ouyang Ruo came back to his senses, invited him to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea, and the two exchanged a few polite words.Seeing that there were so many maids and servants around, Su Yanqing hesitated to speak, so she couldn't help showing embarrassment.When Ouyang Ruo saw it, she gave Wan Hui a wink, and Wan Hui ordered her servants to leave.

Su Yanqing looked at Wan Hui, Ouyang Ruo seemed to understand his intentions and said: "The general has something to say, but it's okay to say it, aunt is one of my own."

Su Yanqing's handsome eyebrows slightly relaxed, she cupped her fists and said, "Master Hou ordered his subordinates to find out about the little Diji for Madam, so I came here to ask Madam."

Ouyang Ruo and Wan Hui were startled, looked at each other and said, "So fast?"

Su Yanqing straightened her face before saying respectfully: "Master Hou ordered me to come down, and my subordinates dare not neglect everything, and now the world is chaotic, Huadi is not very stable now, there are rebels in many places, if you delay One day is one day's risk. That's why Yan Qing took the liberty to ask."

Ouyang Ruo pondered for a long time, then got up and paced back and forth, hesitating, Dexuan's words echoed in her ears again, "If Lord Hou finds little Diji first, I don't know how to deal with it..."

Ouyang Ruo's heart was in turmoil, she only felt terrified in her heart, and when she raised her head, she saw the sincerity on Su Yanqing's fair and handsome face.Ouyang Ruo recalled that if he hadn't sacrificed his life to rescue him on the way back to Chu, he didn't know where he would be now.

She gritted her silver teeth secretly, bowed down abruptly, and said, "I believe in General Su's character. Ling Yu Diji is going to the direction of South Vietnam. I don't know the exact location. I told the two palace officials beside her People, one is the servant Fu Gonggong, and the other is the palace maid Cuiwen. The concubine told them to contact them if they found a place to live. How the outside world has changed. The palace servants who arranged for contact before have lost contact. I ask the general to take care of you. I am very grateful for this!"

Su Yanqing was so frightened by her bow that she didn't know what to do, she turned her side and dared not accept her kneeling.

Ouyang Ruo looked up and said: "I am just a girl, I can only rely on the kindness of the Marquis and the help of the general." He said and took out a jade pendant, which was carved with xiuxiu bamboo, and a Ruo was carved with a small seal on the lower right Character.

He said to Su Yanqing: "This is my personal jade pendant. If you see the two palace servants beside Di Ji and show them, they will trust General Su."
