The alluring female Zhuge: forced to be a concubine

Chapter 48 Humiliated by him
"My servant knows that today is the time for the Five Kingdoms Civil and Military Competition to decide the content of the competition, so I should guess that the content this time should be related to the murder that happened in Hongchen Pavilion a few days ago. Participation..." Zhuo Zhifu was coldly interrupted before finishing her sentence.

"Even if you guess that this competition is related to that single murder case, so what? What can you do? Could it be that you still plan to use your dancing posture to lure out the criminal?" The harsh words came from Luo Yichen's mouth. He just wanted to see her and had to retreat, but he didn't expect that he would be greeted by a pair of disappointed eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's my servant who overestimated her own strength and tried to illuminate the earth with the light of fireflies. This servant will take her leave first." Zhuo Zhifu bowed slightly, then stepped aside, turned and left.

Luo Yichen looked at Zhuo Zhifu's fading figure, and didn't say anything, but there was a hint of thought in his eyes.Perhaps, during the time he was away from Beijing, she had experienced too many changes, but this did not mean that he should feel deeply guilty for his negligence.

What's more, he has already retrieved that ancient book for her, as long as the murder case is solved, he will have a good talk with her.

"Double-faced, let me keep an eye on her, and absolutely don't allow her to leave the palace." Luo Yichen shouted at the double-sided hidden in the tree.

"Yes."

……

In the past few days, Zhuo Zhifu could feel a pair of eyes watching her every move in the dark.This feeling of being watched made her very unhappy, not to mention that after being rejected by Luo Yichen, she no longer had any hope for him.

Zhuo Zhifu, who was about to go back to her study, passed by the gate of the Zhufu Palace, and happened to meet Cao Youheng who was about to leave the palace, and saw him greet Zhuo Zhifu enthusiastically as soon as he saw her.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here." Cao Youheng said with a smile on his face.

"Eunuch Cao, where are you going?" Shao Yao looked at Cao Youheng and asked curiously.

"The miscellaneous family is planning to go out of the palace to choose rouge and gouache for the empress. I heard that there are several top-quality new products in the Yanhua Building recently. I am going to see if I can find rouge and gouache suitable for the empress."

"Rouge gouache?" Zhuo Zhifu suddenly thought that since this Yanhua building was in the rouge gouache business, and it was only a street away from Hongchen Pavilion, maybe a clue could be found there.
