Chapter 101 Looking for a reason
The girl who used to be pretty and smart, now has eyes as swollen as peaches, with a lot of red bloodshot eyes. One look at her and she can tell that she cried a lot last night.
Even applying powder to my face doesn't help.
Chu Liuzheng knew why she came back as soon as he saw her haggard look.
Manager Zhou must have rushed back.
The fact is as Chu Liuzheng guessed, the jade pendant was indeed driven back by Zhou Yuande.
There was really no other way for Yuzhui. He was so sick that he sought medical treatment and wanted to seek help from His Majesty, but was stopped by Zhou Yuande before he could see His Majesty.
There was something wrong with Yuzhui's appearance at first glance. After asking carefully, he firmly stopped Yuzhui outside.
The big court meeting is about to begin. How can Your Majesty have time to take care of the household affairs of a little palace maid? It would have harmed her if he really let the jade pendant break in.
No matter how much Yuzhui begged Eunuch Zhou, he didn't let go. When he got tired of hearing this, he asked Xiao Anzi to send him back, and for the time being, he went to Wenhua Hall to serve Mo Xiang for a day.
"My sister has to clean up the mess for me." Yuhui lowered his head because he cried for a long time last night and even his voice was hoarse.
Mo Xiang felt distressed, but had no idea how to help.
She sighed quietly and advised softly: "Ji people have their own destiny. You have to believe that your cousin will definitely get Xiaoyue back."
The comforting words were too pale and weak. Yuzhui raised his head and smiled reluctantly.
It's really uglier to laugh than to cry.
Mo Xiang felt panicked after seeing this. She reached out to hug the jade pendant and patted her back comfortingly, "It will be fine."
Yuzhui bit her lip and held her breath, trying not to let tears fall.
Mo Xiang still has to go to Wenhua Palace to work as an errand, so she can't stay for long. She winked at Chu Liuzheng, hoping that Chu Liuzheng would help persuade her.
Chu Liuzheng nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I'm here."
One of them is injured, and the other is unconscious. How can Mo Xiang rest assured?
She warned her again and again and hurried to the Wenhua Hall when she couldn't delay any longer.
As soon as she left, Yuzhui couldn't help crying.
The tears flowed rapidly but I didn't dare to cry loudly. I just sobbed in my throat, vague and broken, which made people feel sad.
Chu Liuzheng could not persuade her, so he could only offer himself to her and let her wet tears wet the clothes on her shoulders.
[Actually, it is not a good thing to bring the werewolf sister back now. The Li family is guarding her nearby. If you kill someone, you will be rewarded with your life. If you stay with the Xixia Princess as a maid, you can still save a small life. 】
But Chu Liuzheng just thought about these words in his heart and could not tell Yuzhui.
"Liu Zheng, do you think my cousin can get my sister back?" Yuzhui cried until her eyes hurt and asked softly on Chu Liuzheng's shoulder.
It was as if if one more person answered 'yes', her sister would be fine.
[Of course not. Zhao Yue is at the post house now, and will go to the palace later, unless your cousin can enter the post house to find someone. 】
"I can get it back." Chu Liuzheng turned his head and looked at the jade pendant, "Maybe there will be good news soon."
Yuzhui knew these were comforting words, but she wanted to believe them.
She nodded vigorously, not knowing who to tell, "There must be good news."
Seeing her like this, Chu Liuzheng really couldn't bear it.
[How about I wait until Zhao Yue enters the palace and find a way to take the jade pendant to the Imperial Garden to let her see that Zhao Yue is okay? But what appropriate reason should be found? 】
Chu Liuzheng was in some trouble.
Yuzhui cared about the injuries on her body and did not dare to lie on her shoulder for too long. Instead, he lay on the edge of the bed and sobbed.
Xu was so tired that he cried himself to sleep without realizing it.
There is a brazier next to it, so it won't be cold.
Chu Liuzheng sighed softly, did not bother her, and secretly thought of an excuse.
Yuzhui was still sleeping when Dr. Li came to change the dressing.
Chu Liuzheng pointed at the jade pendant and waved his hand, signaling not to disturb him. Dr. Li was also considerate and did not say anything. He even placed the medicine box lightly.
But Jade Pendant still woke up.
I was awakened by the sound of water.
She turned around and saw Dr. Li, and almost screamed, but luckily she regained her senses in time and didn't make her lose her composure too much.
Dr. Li concentrated on cleaning Chu Liuzheng's hands and said to the jade pendant: "Now that the girl is awake, please go get a basin of hot water."
"Okay." Yuzhui ignored the embarrassment and took the basin to the kitchen to get hot water.
After changing the dressing and bandaging, giving the usual instructions, Doctor Li left with the medicine box on his back.
Yuzhui wiped his face and helped Chu Liuzheng to the toilet before boiling the medicine.
Chu Liuzheng opened the system and looked at Zhao Yue's whereabouts from the refreshed gossip.
[Coming to the palace in a carriage. 】
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chu Liuzheng calculated the time and felt that it would be just right to wait for Yuzhui to boil the medicine before going there. As for the excuse...
"Go to the Imperial Garden to pick red plums?" Yuzhui stared at Chu Liuzheng, suspecting that he heard wrongly.
Chu Liuzheng nodded: "Eunuch Zhou said that His Majesty likes the fragrance of plums. If you can fold some beautiful red plum branches and send them to the Wenhua Hall to put them in vases, so that Your Majesty will be happy to see them, maybe I can give you a favor."
Yuzhui's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'grace'.
If she could really gain His Majesty's grace, couldn't she ask His Majesty to send someone to help her find her sister?
She immediately got up and walked out: "I'll go right away."
"Hey! Wait!" Chu Liuzheng called to someone, "I'll go with you."
Yuzhui stopped and looked back at her: "Your hand is still injured and it's cold outside. Don't go. I'll be back soon."
Chu Liuzheng didn't really ask her to go to the Imperial Garden to pick red plums. What if she didn't go and the sisters couldn't see each other? Isn't it a waste of time?
"I've been bored in the house these days and want to go out for a walk." She said softly and coquettishly, "Sister Moxiang has been restraining me. It's hard for her to be away. Please take me with you."
Yuzhui showed hesitation on his face, but finally couldn't stand Chu Liuzheng's hard work and agreed.
She put a cloak on Chu Liuzheng, repeatedly told her not to expose her hands to the cold, and then helped Chu Liuzheng to the imperial garden.
The road was slippery in the snow, and Yuzhui was worried that Chu Liuzheng would fall, so he didn't dare to walk too fast.
Chu Liuzheng paid attention to his surroundings while looking at the system, trying to use the system for real-time monitoring.
She didn't meet anyone she shouldn't have met until she reached the Royal Garden, which really made her feel relieved.
[God bless me, I hope everything goes smoothly next time. 】
She glanced at the system and suggested: "The red plum trees bloom best at Jinxiu Pavilion. Let's go there and pick them up."
Yuzhui has been distracted since she got the news from her family yesterday. She has no idea about the banquet held by Her Royal Highness the Princess in Jinxiu Pavilion today.
Since she wanted to use red plums to win favor, she naturally wanted to fold the best ones.
She followed Chu Liuzheng through the path and stopped behind a few flowers and trees beside the Octagonal Pavilion.
Not far ahead was the Jinxiu Pavilion. Chu Liuzheng stuck his head out and took a look.
[The system is not deceiving me. Sure enough, I can clearly see the people on the second floor from here. 】
Yuzhui, who was standing behind her, felt strange: "Why don't you leave?"
"Shh!" Chu Liuzheng turned around and signaled her to be silent, "There are many people over at Jinxiu Pavilion. It seems that a noble person is hosting a banquet."
Yuzhui was startled, quickly covered her mouth, and looked out to see.
Sure enough, I saw many people sitting or standing on the second floor of Jinxiu Pavilion. Listening carefully, there was music, which was not as cold as usual.
She retracted her head and asked in a low voice: "Then let's go there?"
