Chapter 41
"Your Majesty! No!" Ning Lianyan became anxious when she heard that she was declining. When she entered the palace four years ago, she was in the position of imperial concubine. In this harem without a queen, she has been arrogant and rampant for so many years with this status that is one level higher than everyone else. Now, because of such a small guard, she has pulled her from the position of imperial concubine who is superior because of such a thing. How can she be willing?
"Your Majesty! I know that I am wrong, please take your life back!" Ning Lianyan looked at Cang Lingyue with red eyes begging, and she was already crying when she heard the sound.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Chu Ci looked at Cang Lingyue playfully and waited for his reaction.
The latter, almost completely unexpectedly, shouted without any doubt: "You are so embarrassed to cry here, go back to your palace, Concubine Ning!"
Ning Lianyan has not been scolded like this for four years since she entered the palace. She was stunned when she heard it. Tears remained in her eyes and did not dare to fall out. She didn't dare to say a word and turned around and left.
After Ning Lianyan left, only Cang Lingyue, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, Chu Ci, who was standing next to him, and Chen Lan, who was still kneeling in the distance.
Chu Ci could fully confirm his guess when he saw this situation. Chen Lan was indeed Cang Lingyue's man.
And now since Cang Lingyue has no intention of letting Chen Lan leave, she should just disappear with tactfulness.
"Your Majesty, I will leave first." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he walked out of Anyang Palace under Cang Lingyue's gaze.
After watching Chu Ci's figure disappear from sight from afar, Cang Ling looked at the woman kneeling in front of him, and his face darkened, "Who is going to frame him?"
Chen Lan was stunned, and immediately explained: "I am afraid that my subordinates will reveal their identity, master! Anyway, Chu Ci happened to have a marriage with Guo Da. As long as I can successfully frame this matter on him, then that's all."
"Shut up!" With an angry shout, Cang Ling suddenly shook her sleeves. A gust of wind rolled out from her wide and flowing sleeves and knocked Chen Lan, who was originally kneeling, to the ground. His tone was gloomy, "Let me listen, no matter what, no matter how, you are allowed to move Chu Ci."
"...Master" Chen Lan fell to the ground, staring at Cang Ling's increasingly angry expression as if he was stupid. The question suddenly blurted out, "You can't treat him."
...
At this moment, Chu Ci, who was quietly hiding in the dark corner of the wall, staring at Concubine Ning not far away, didn't know that Cang Ling was getting more and more angry that no matter who looked at him, he seemed inexplicably.
She carefully concealed her figure and then focused on listening to the movements of Concubine Ning over there.
"Empress" Ning Lianyan spoke with the only palace maid who followed her and said with concern, "You should throw away the bag of medicine as soon as possible, so as not to leave any evidence that is unfavorable to you!"
Ning Lianyan immediately took out a small paper bag from the hidden bag on her cuff and handed it to the palace maid, and said to herself: "I haven't had time to do it yet. Who took the lead in putting medicine in that soup?"
When Chu Ci heard this, he frowned slightly. So, Ning Lianyan was really wronged? However, since she had the intention to poison her, it would not be a waste of her.
"It's not really that Chu Ci, right?" the palace maid said suspiciously.
"I hope it's him! Not to mention that he is my father's enemy, I just look at the special care of 'that person' for him. I hate him so much!" Ning Lianyan didn't know what she thought of, and her facial features were so ferocious, "He is a man, he is a man!"
The palace maid also sighed for the master: "I really didn't expect that you actually lost to a man."
Smack
Ning Lianyan slapped her over and interrupted the palace maid. Her pupils opened and she shouted excitedly: "What nonsense! I didn't lose! I won't lose!"
The palace maid seemed to be used to her master's venting when he was angry. She covered her face and took a step back slightly, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Ning Lianyan glanced at her indifferently, shook her sleeves and was about to leave.
"Grandma, wait!" the calm female voice shouted from a distance.
Chu Ci looked back when he heard the sound and saw Chen Lan walking quickly towards Ning Lanyan. He knew that Chen Lan was Cang Ling's excellent subordinate. She did not dare to relax her vigilance. She carefully shrank back a little and hid herself in the shadow. However, after this movement, the conversation that was not very real sounded even harder.
On the other side, Chen Lan quickly walked to Ning Lanyan, looked at Ning Lanyan with a pale face and said something.
Then Chu Ci saw Ning Lianyan's originally angry expression turned into doubt.
Chen Lan is worthy of being a Cang Lingyue person. He is well-trained and his voice is extremely low. He can't hear any sound at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci wanted to take the risk of getting closer there and listened, but before she could get closer, she saw Chen Lan leaving behind Ning Lianyan.
It seems that she has at least obtained Ning Lianyan's permission to follow her.
In this way, is Cang Lingyue’s new task to her to get close to Ning Lianyan?
Although this may be very large, Chu Ci, who knew very little about these secrets in the palace, did not make much suspicion.
Chu Ci returned to Anyang Palace with some depression. As soon as he entered, Cang Ling looked up at her more and more, waved her hand to signal her to come to her, and asked with a smile: "Look at you, why do you look like a young wife who is wronged?"
Chu Ci was really a little aggrieved, "I can even be a little guard so honest and conscientiously, and even a little guard can cause inexplicable frame-ups. Why can't I feel wronged?"
Cang Ling couldn't help laughing. Seeing her little pitiful look, she was so pitiful. She seemed to suddenly have a drug addiction attack. She reached out and pinched Chu Ci's face, and smiled while pinching, "Don't worry, no one dared to touch you, you are my person!"
What he said was half true and half false. The force of his slightly cool fingertips pinching her face became softer again, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes.
Chu Ci couldn't help but be stunned, and his face gradually turned red... It was not pinched.
For the first time in so many days, Chu Ci realized that Cang Lingyue seemed to be becoming more and more casual with her now, and she became subtly moved without her realizing it... Such an attitude cannot be encouraged. No matter what his true thoughts were, she vaguely felt that it was a bit dangerous to continue like this and must be stopped now.
So Chu Ci moved, and reached out his hand very carefully, holding Cang Lingyue's fingers that pinched her face and took his hand away, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the king and the ministers will not be given a close friend."
This was the first time Cang Lingyue had seen Chu Ci seriously reject him... Closeness? Well, it was closeness... No matter what, the beauty emperor was stunned. Although he was still smiling unrestrainedly on his face, he was confused in his heart. Should he be angry? Should he jump up and scold Chu Ci for being ungrateful? Should he be ungrateful?
The beauty emperor was still stoking with stinginess. Chu Ci had calmly taken a step back and said respectfully: [31 Novel Network] "Your Majesty, since you have appointed me as the deputy commander of the Dragon Soul Guard, please forgive me, I am afraid I can't be with you anytime. If you don't have any instructions now, I should go to the Dragon Soul Guard Camp in the north of the city to see the situation."
"..." Cang Ling's smile gradually faded. After a moment, she nodded slightly and signaled that she could leave.
After Chu Ci left, Cang Lingyue suddenly raised her hand and saw that Chu Ci had just touched her, and smiled extremely shortly, and it didn't matter.
It's like the indifferent thing that pretends to not care after being rejected.
Of course, Chu Ci didn't know the difficult entanglements that the Beauty Emperor had seen. She had already obtained the token to enter and exit the palace at will, and had already explained to Cang Ling that if she ran on both sides of the palace camp, she naturally had to do something practical.
So as soon as she left the palace, she rode straight to the north camp of the city.
There are two large soldiers camps in the imperial capital.
One place is the Dragon Guard in the south camp of the city. The number of people is 50,000, which is only half of the Dragon Soul Guard, but they are all elites. The Dragon Guard was originally a personal guard of every emperor, but for some reason, when the previous emperor of Jing State, Cang Lingyue's father, and Emperor Ke Cang Lingke, was in office, he handed over the crucial 50,000 Dragon Guards to the national teacher to take charge.
The south of the city was originally located in a remote area, and the national teacher had been in seclusion for almost a year, and the Dragon Guard had been silent for almost a year, and they were almost forgotten.
But the Dragon Soul Guards in the North Camp of the city are different.
This is not only because the Dragon Soul Guard has Ning Shikong's power invaded, but also because many of the soldiers in the Dragon Soul Guard are young masters from the Imperial Capital or other important officials and noble families in various places.
Because after all, there is only one martial arts top scholar selected through the martial arts election, but if you make a name for yourself in the Dragon Soul Guard, you will be appointed as an official in the court, even if you are so powerful that you hold military power, it is very likely that you will be able to be appointed as an official in the court.
Therefore, many officials, nobles, merchants and wealthy families took gold and silver to open the way, and desperately stuffed their children into the Dragon Soul Guard Camp.
After hearing about this situation, Chu Ci was worried that most of the troops formed by young men could really be called an army?
Facts proved that Chu Ci's worries were very necessary, and this was known the moment she walked into the Dragon Soul Guard Camp.
Ah no, it should be said that after she found that she could enter the gate of the camp that was originally supposed to be heavily guarded but not even a single guard, she knew it.
After entering the camp, I walked a few steps and saw three or five men in tattered clothes walking towards me.
As they got closer and closer, Chu Ci realized that the torn clothes they were wearing were too lazy to see the military uniforms they originally looked like!
Not to mention that the Dragon Soul Guard has two-thirds of the rich second generation and the second generation of official second generation, just like the military expenditures Cang Lingyue allocated to the Dragon Soul Guard every year, it would definitely not make the soldiers here fall to the point where they were wearing military uniforms so bad that they could not see their original appearance!
Chu Ci frowned slightly, realizing that there must be something more serious in the Dragon Soul Guard Camp than she imagined.
