Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 68 Contacting the Red Cicada
Hongchan thought about it for a long time, and she looked at Que Ruoyu sadly. "Is this the only way? I have a question that I have never understood, why did you choose me?" Her voice became much quieter.

"Is there any reason to choose you?" Que Ruoyu said lightly.

"But you should know that I don't like this kind of struggle. I just want to live my own life." Hongchan said calmly.Her eyes kept looking into the distance.

An indifferent life?Who wouldn't want to?But for a woman born in a deep palace, who has the right to choose?
Que Ruoyu looked at Hongchan and said very seriously, "Everyone wants to live an indifferent life, but if you want to live that kind of life, you have to pay a price. You also saw it today. If I don't intercede for you, you may have been The half-green belt goes down and the stick is thirty. You can't even save your own life, how can you ask for the life you want. Don't you think this is really ridiculous?" She looked at Hongchan solemnly.

Hongchan was taken aback, "I know this, but if I get involved in these fights, I will encounter more and more risks. Thinking about it that way, why don't I stay here?" She said softly with.

The breeze was blowing gently in this cold palace, Que Ruoyu smiled softly.Her voice is soft but very penetrating.

Hongchan asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at your ignorance. You give your hopes to others. You want to leave the palace when you reach the age. But, is that realistic? You don't know what will happen to you in these years. Maybe stay In the next moment, you will be falsely accused by others. At that time, you will complain every day, and you will not work." She said softly.

After all, it is heavier than a thousand pieces of gold.

"Que Ruoyu, how do you know this? How dare you conclude that the future me will be framed by others? Why don't you say that the future me will be safe and sound?" She raised her head and looked at it with some doubts. Que Ruoyu.

"Because this is the harem. And I believe you understand this truth. However, the only difference between you and me is that you don't believe it, but I believe it. I see these things very clearly." He looked at Hongchan firmly.

They are in the harem and they can't decide many things by themselves, and their fate is dominated by too many people.If they don't want to be bound by fate, don't they have to become masters.

She knew that what happened with Banlu just now had already woken up Hongchan.She just still refuses to admit it until now.

"Come with me, there is no way out for you to stay here all this time. Stay with me and we will fight for our own future. Is there anything wrong with that?" She walked gently to Hongchan's side, Tell her very seriously.

Hongchan took a slight step back, and there was a hint of emotion on her quiet face.

"For my own future?" She whispered these words slowly.

Que Ruoyu nodded.

After that day, Que Ruoyu brought Hongchan to her side.Still, their relationship was a bit rocky at first.However, fortunately, after they got along for a short time, they got used to each other.

During this period, a relatively big event happened in the palace.Banlu was suddenly thrown into the cold palace.The maid beside her was given to death.The specific reason seems to be that Ban Lu took all the treasures brought by the emperor into his pocket.

The emperor brought more and more beautiful glass cups.He originally wanted to go to Concubine Qing's room that night.As a result, Ban Lu was on the way, and used a shameful means to deceive the emperor.The emperor was on a whim at that time.He put the glass cup for Concubine Qing in the semi-green bedroom.After that, the emperor repeatedly told him to bring the glass cup to Concubine Qing.

Those things were gifts from Concubine Qing's natal family.

As a result, Qiaoyun, who didn't know the truth of the matter, took the glass cup and showed it off everywhere.Tell people that it was something the emperor gave to the green talent at that time.This thing is only available to green talents.One day, Yu He suddenly saw the glass cup, she knew that it belonged to Concubine Qing's natal family, so she told Concubine Qing about it.

Concubine Qing was very angry when she found out, and called Ban Lu over.After some questioning, Banlu said arrogantly.Now she is not afraid of Concubine Qing at all.Because the emperor has always favored her.Moreover, she just took a glass cup, it's not a big deal.

Ban Lu's attitude at that time was very arrogant, she simply didn't take Concubine Qing seriously.Who knew that the emperor stood behind her at that time.

The emperor originally liked Concubine Xi's virtue and talent.As a result, half green can't account for it at all.

The emperor Longyan was furious, and immediately put Banlu in the cold palace.He didn't have much interest in Banlu these days.As a result, he also heard Ban Lu say this.He was completely disappointed in Banlu all of a sudden.Staying at this time, Concubine Qing said a few words in the emperor's ear.

What she said has a nose and an eye, and the emperor immediately believed it.The emperor thought that Ban Lu must have been specifically looking for trouble with Concubine Qing during the few days when she was being favored by herself.

Que Ruoyu and Hongchan were chatting about this matter.

"Do you think that according to the temperament of that half-green woman, she would do such a thing?" Que Ruoyu looked at Hongchan with some doubts.

Hongchan smiled lightly, "Although this woman Banlu is very arrogant, she always treats her servants. If she directly said that she dared to be so bold to Concubine Qing, I really can't believe it. We haven't seen it with our own eyes." When it comes to that matter, naturally I don’t know anything.”
"Looking at it this way, it's very likely that this is Concubine Qing's scheme." Que Ruoyu said seriously.

Concubine Qing supports Banlu at the beginning because the emperor is getting more and more interested in the queen.At that time, she moved Banlu over, just to distract the emperor.In the end, the emperor finally looked at Banlu squarely and pampered her to heaven.Concubine Qing suddenly became aware of the crisis.No matter what, she couldn't let Banlu continue to be favored.

That's how it happened before.

"See, this is the battle in the palace. The half-green before is still the same scenery. Now, she can only live in the dark palace. Now, she should be worse than before. Do you remember the half-look Did you slap Su Nanny before? Now that I think about it, Su Nanny has completely repaid it." Que Ruoyu snorted lightly, sure enough, there is karma in this world.

"That's right." Hongchan softly agreed.She put a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of Que Ruoyu.

"Come on, it's cold, drink more hot water." She said softly, with a serious look.From the day Que Ruoyu met her, she knew this woman was like this.

She smiled slightly, and took it from Hongchan's hand. "Hmm. Delicious." She commented simply.

"Is it only good to drink?" She asked with some doubts.

Hearing what Hongchan said, Que Ruoyu put the tea on her lips again, and she tasted it carefully.She sniffed gently with her nose. "It's very fragrant, and the taste is quite mellow. This kind of tea is different from ordinary tea. Hongchan, where did you get it from?"
"If you can tell what the name of this tea is, I'll tell you how I got it." She said with a slight smile, looking straight at Que Ruoyu with her big bright eyes.

Que Ruoyu frowned, "West Lake Longjing? Is that so?" She replied softly.Looking at Hongchan's unbelievable expression, she knew she must have guessed right just now.

"Okay, then tell me where you got it from. These things are tributes, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get them." Que Ruoyu looked at Hongchan curiously.However, it can be seen from this point.Hongchan is a very knowledgeable woman.Those who like West Lake Longjing must have a good family background.However, she didn't know why Hongchan entered the palace.

"Stole it." Seeing that Que Ruoyu answered, Hongchan simply admitted it openly.

"Stole it?" Que Ruoyu looked at Hongchan in disbelief.In her memory, Hongchan was definitely not someone who would do such things.

"Yeah? Why are you making such a fuss? Ever since you said those things to me that day, I have completely understood. Everything depends on myself. If I want to live my own life, I must rely on myself ."
"So... so you stole these things?" Que Ruoyu looked at Hongchan suspiciously.

Hongchan nodded again.

It seems that she completely changed Hongchan's values ​​last time.

They've been in their own room lately.The job of raising the lamp is very simple.She can finish early every day.She spends the rest of her time playing.

At this time, Aunt Liu came outside the room.

"Aunt Liu? Why are you here?" Que Ruoyu welcomed Aunt Liu over.As long as Aunt Liu came, something important must have happened.

"Que Ruoyu, the palace lantern you designed last time has basically taken shape. Now, I want you to go over and have a look." Aunt Liu looked at the tea on the table, and she was about to pour it.

Hongchan stood aside, and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, this pot of tea is a little cold. This servant girl will pour another pot for you." She politely removed the teapot from the table.

Aunt Liu was not a particularly particular person.

"It's okay...no..."
"Aunt Liu, just let her go. This is your first time here, so we can't let you drink cold water. Hongchan, hurry up and come back."
"I really didn't expect you to be so polite." Aunt Liu said with a smile.She just likes Que Ruoyu's cleverness.What's more, she is a woman who is very knowledgeable.It is much better than Yuhe in Hanyun Palace.

"No matter where, it's the right way to treat Aunt Liu like this."
