Chapter 154: Temptation
Long Yuanxiu's words Zhuang Mingyue is not unclear, but it seems that in this form at the moment, after all, the emperor has already spoken, and Zhuang Mingyue can only wait until the palace banquet is over, and stay to see what this concubine wants to do.
Long Yuanxiu was still a little uneasy, and told Zhuang Mingyue everything he had learned in the palace over the years.
Where there is a shortcut to copy, where there are little secrets that no one knows.
Long Yuanxiu said almost everything,
Zhuang Mingyue's mind was dizzy, and she could barely remember two or three key points.
When looking at Zhuang Mingyue's dizzy look, Long Yuanxiu sighed and said, "Otherwise, I still find a way to stay in the palace, so that the two of us can take care of each other, I am really a little ......."
Long Yuanxiu's words were not finished yet, he looked at the person in front of him and shook his head, Zhuang Mingyue said: "I don't agree with you doing this, your appearance will only put both of us in a dangerous situation, the only way now is for you to go out, I am inside, and then find a chance for you to take me out again, which can at least ensure that the two of us, one of them is free."
Zhuang Mingyue's meaning, Long Yuanxiu naturally could understand, so he could only nod reluctantly, and then said: "The contact I gave you before, you must remember the method of my stay in the palace, if there is any place where I can't arrive in time, you can inform them, and they will definitely find a way to help you." No matter what the matter is, just tell them to do it, and these people can be absolutely trusted. ”
As he spoke, Long Yuanxiu took out a bag of silver taels and put it in Zhuang Mingyue's hand: "The palace has always been a place to hold high and step low, walking in the palace, there is money that can make ghosts grind, if you take this silver, I will regularly let people send things in to you."
While saying this, this Long Yuanxiu recalled it carefully, for fear that there was something he didn't explain in detail, when Zhuang Mingyue saw his appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, looking at you like this, it's not like I'm going to enter the palace, but you're going to go in to accompany this princess, if there's really any problem, I will definitely find a way to inform you, at least the only thing we can do now is to stay put, I don't know what the origin of this princess is, I don't know what she meant by this. ”
This is where the most troublesome part is, because it is not clear whether this princess is friend or foe.
"Another point, in fact, if you can really stay in the palace this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing."
When she heard Zhuang Mingyue say this, Long Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what she was referring to, but she didn't agree, and frowned: "I don't agree with you to do this, this thing is too dangerous, and if you really run into the murderer behind the scenes, in case he really has any bad intentions, you won't have time to call for help."
Zhuang Mingyue stayed in the palace, not only the meaning of this princess, but also her own considerations.
The fact that person could have so much energy in the palace before means that if he can stay in the palace, he may be able to find more clues.
"I promise not to put myself in a dangerous place, just to look for clues, and I will never run into him head-on.
At least not hard-hitting, okay? ”
Zhuang Mingyue sighed and said.
However, Long Yuanxiu frowned tightly, looking unwilling to agree.
The two of them were in a stalemate like this, and for a long time, neither of them spoke.
waited until the palace banquet was dispersed, and when the princess's people came to pick up Zhuang Mingyue and prepared to stay in the palace, Long Yuanxiu reacted at this time, and said with some annoyance: "Why am I stupid to be angry with you......"
Zhuang Mingyue smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I promise you, no matter what happens, I will definitely prioritize my own safety."
After getting Zhuang Mingyue's assurance, Long Yuanxiu's originally high heart finally slowly fell back to the same place, he nodded and said: "This is what you said, I don't ask you to really make any progress in the palace, I only ask you to come back safely, now the situation in the palace is becoming more and more complicated, if you accidentally fall into it, it is easy to cause more trouble and killing."
Zhuang Mingyue sighed, why didn't she understand the meaning of Long Yuanxiu's words?
"Miss Zhuang, Niangniang is invited."
An expressionless power came to Zhuang Mingyue's face, and said this respectfully, Zhuang Mingyue nodded at her and replied, "Okay, I'll come right away."
With other people in front of them, even if the two of them wanted to discuss something, it was difficult to speak again, and Long Yuanxiu could only reluctantly watch Zhuang Mingyue being taken away.
Zhuang Mingyue followed the palace maid to a side hall, and this side hall was not far from the main hall where the princess lived, and it was very close.
And it is also because the emperor himself opened his mouth, the place where Zhuang Mingyue lives has been specially cleaned and decorated, which looks very comfortable, but unexpectedly it is elegantly furnished.
After Zhuang Mingyue walked into the room, the palace maid said: "After today's dinner, Niangniang was summoned to the Qianqing Palace to accompany Your Majesty, Miss Zhuang can rest by herself first, and then someone will send clean clothes, if Miss Zhuang has anything to need, just ask."
Zhuang Mingyue nodded.
The palace maid bent down slightly at her and continued: "We have already boiled hot water for Miss Zhuang, I don't know if you should take a bath and rest now, or wait for a while?"
Zhuang Mingyue looked at the sky outside, the time was actually not early, so she said, "Take a bath now, and then rest."
The palace maid nodded, and then the expressionless conductor began to arrange, and after waiting for Zhuang Mingyue to lie comfortably on the bed, she withdrew from the room in a regular manner, and kept guarding the door, in case Zhuang Mingyue could agree at any time when she had any orders.
Because she knew that no one could move herself in the palace for the time being, Zhuang Mingyue slept very comfortably that night.
On the other hand, Long Yuanxiu was not so good, the whole person was tossing and turning all night, worried about whether Zhuang Mingyue would not be used to living, whether he would be bullied in the harem, crying alone in the bed, and he would not tell others.
Zhuang Mingyue is a very strong character, even if she has something in her heart, she will not easily tell others.
This is what makes Long Yuanxiu feel the most distressed
Early the next morning.
Zhuang Mingyue opened her eyes and looked at these gorgeous decorations, and she didn't come to her senses for a while.
It wasn't until her sanity gradually returned to her mind that she suddenly remembered that she had been left in the palace.
When she heard the movement coming from inside the room, the palace maid who had been outside the door asked softly, "Is Miss Zhuang going to get up?"
Being served by someone like this really made Zhuang Mingyue feel a little uncomfortable, but thinking that this was someone else's territory, she could only accept these arrangements with kindness.
"Come in and wash up."
As soon as Zhuang Mingyue's words fell, a pair of palace maids walked in with a lot of things from outside the door, and Zhuang Mingyue numbly let these palace maids dress up and clean up.
Then when these people left, the big palace maid from last night stood by Zhuang Mingyue's side again and said, "Niangniang has returned to the palace and is resting, I don't know if Miss Zhuang wants to go over?"
Zhuang Mingyue glanced at her, and then nodded: "Since Concubine Li asked me to stay, I should go to pay a visit, so I will take the trouble to lead the way."
The palace maid didn't have any expression on her face, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking, but she quietly brought Zhuang Mingyue to the main hall.
"Niangniang, Miss Zhuang is here."
Standing at the door and hearing the princess's voice, Zhuang Mingyue walked in.
As soon as she walked in, Zhuang Mingyue looked at the princess leaning on the chaise longue obliquely, looking lazy, even if she had seen the amazing appearance of this princess, she couldn't help but be a little stunned when she saw it again at this moment.
"You're the first girl to start in a daze when you see my face."
It wasn't until Zhuang Mingyue came back to her senses that the princess suddenly laughed.
Zhuang Mingyue lowered her head in a panic at this time, and hurriedly saluted: "The folk girl has seen Concubine Li."
The princess smiled and said, "Actually, I should have seen you a long time ago, I have always heard my sister mention your name before, and I have never met you, but I am so curious in my heart, so I asked Your Majesty for such a grace to let you stay with me in the palace for a few days."
Listening to the princess say this, Zhuang Mingyue blinked, and didn't seem to realize what the meaning of the words meant.
Seeing that Zhuang Mingyue looked unenlightened and seemed to be a little demented, the princess, who had some expectations for Zhuang Mingyue, felt a little lost in her heart, but her face did not show any other unusual emotions, and she still smiled.
"I don't know what my mother needs me to do if she left me behind?"
Zhuang Mingyue looked at the princess who had not spoken, touched her nose, and asked a little embarrassedly.
The princess smiled and said, "I have just woken up early in the morning, why don't you accompany me to dine here, and then I have people find some paintings, and I want you to teach me, I have heard that your literature is very good, I would like to see it."
Zhuang Mingyue gradually had her own plans in her heart, so she nodded and happily agreed: "Being able to share the worries of the mother is naturally within my responsibility."
When these words were spoken, I immediately heard the princess's coquettish laughter: "Then I'll wait for you to answer my doubts."
