Chapter 49
Rong Hua suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he hugged Chu Ci's arm, and said excitedly: "Then can you take me out of the palace?"
"Didn't you just promised me that I would help me pay attention to Cang Lingyue?" Chu Ci kept walking, just looking back at Rong Hua.
The little girl was so scared that she became depressed when she heard this. She followed Chu Ci two more steps, but she still stopped slowly, looked at Chu Ci leaving reluctantly, and said unwillingly: "Then, then next time, Master!"
The little girl is indeed clever. The meaning of her name is probably to use this in exchange for Chu Ci to accept her as her disciple.
Chu Ci didn't say anything, so he treated it as a default.
However, although it can be seen that Rong Hua is useful, she still knows very little about this person and cannot fully trust her.
As soon as Chu Ci left the palace, he went directly to the orioles singing and dancing in the mountains and river pavilions.
Mudan, who rushed over after hearing the news, hurried in to see her, but two people were followed by her, including Lian Qiao and Haitang.
Chu Ci looked at it and asked Mudan: "Where are the others?"
Peony wiped the sweat from her forehead because of her anxiety and replied: "Du Ruo and Mu Lian went out to collect information, and Bai Wei was still developing an antidote. As for Aster and Lily of the Valley... A distinguished guest just came and asked for the best girl when he opened his mouth. I originally wanted to send our chanting and dancing courtesan Yingying Yanyan over, but Aster said that the young master might have an extraordinary identity and insisted that she and Mu Lian go..."
Chu Ci nodded after hearing this and asked again: "Bai Wei is still developing an antidote? Where is the poison?"
Lian Qiao immediately presented a small porcelain bottle and said, "Sister Bai Wei said that although this medicine is considered a poison, it is not very toxic. At most, the person who takes it will immediately get abdominal pain and weakness, but it will turn into diarrhea once a day, which is actually nothing serious. However, it is precisely because the toxicity needs to be grasped just right, so it takes some time to make it, and the antidote also takes some time."
"It's okay." Chu Ci shook his head and put the small porcelain bottle containing the poison into his sleeve. "Don't worry about the antidote."
Mudan explained at this time: "What you ordered to do the day before yesterday is almost done. The ones who followed the girls here into the Dragon Soul Guard camp were Lian Qiao, Bai Wei and Haitang. These three girls are indeed powerful. They have half filled the three most important men in the Dragon Soul Guard and escaped after they died. Not only that, they have also trapped a lot of useful things!"
Chu Ci nodded in praise and comforted him: "Thank you for your hard work. What makes me most gratified is that you can not only complete tasks well, but also ensure your safety. This is very good, so you should pay attention to it in the future."
After all, Lian Qiao is the youngest, and she couldn't help but smile happily when she heard Chu Ci praise her: "It's okay, don't look at Lin Chongwei [31 Novel Network
Chu Ci originally listened to the little girl showing off to her with a smile, but when he heard the last sentence, his face changed slightly, and then asked, "The token he gave him?"
"Yes!" Lian Qiao smiled unconsciously. The two cute dimples were all indifferent to the world. "My sister Mu Lian and Du Ruo found out about Lin Chongwei's life experience. It turned out that although his father Lin Qingshan is a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, his mother is not Lin Qingshan's official wife, but the singer who has not yet recognized his identity."
Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "Continue to say."
"When Lin Qingshan was young, he brought Lin Chongwei's mother back from outside, but because the Lin family has been a scholarly family for generations and has been honest and unwilling to admit the identity of a woman in the Jinglou, Lin Qingshan could only let Lin Chongwei live outside and secretly help them. Until a year ago, Lin Qingshan's official family died suddenly and did not leave him a child before he died, the Lin family had to admit Lin Chongwei's identity. However, they still refused to admit the identity of Lin Chongwei's mother. Therefore, Lin Chongwei has always had a bad relationship with his father, always against him, and is obedient and filial to his mother."
"Yes." Chu Ci nodded and asked again, "You just said, did you take the token given to him by Lin Chongwei's mother?"
Lian Qiao smiled proudly and said, "Yes! A jade token is pretty, but it is not very valuable at first glance!" After that, she took out the jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Ci.
This is an orchid-style jade pendant. It does look a bit mixed in color, but although this jade pendant looks old, it has no cracks and is damaged at all, and it is very clean. It can be seen that the holder of the jade pendant must have cherished this not-so-priced jade pendant... Chu Ci's eyes narrowed.
She put away the jade pendant and ordered: "Peony, open a private room for me, prepare wine and food, and wait for Lin Chongwei to come."
"Ah?" Lian Qiao asked in confusion, "Master, I heard that Lin Chongwei has not come out even though he occasionally went to see his mother!"
At this time, Haitang, who had been listening to the side, finally heard the clue and couldn't help but say to Lian Qiao worriedly: "Liang Qiao, you've gotten into trouble."
Chu Ci looked at them, smiled and interrupted Haitang's next words, "Forget it, this is not a mistake. Anyway, I want to ask Lin Chongwei out sooner or later, so don't talk about her."
"But, Master..." Haitang still said with some concern, "If you openly took the jade pendant to see Lin Chongwei, I'm afraid he would suspect that it was something you deliberately sent to do, and that would definitely be with you."
"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it." Chu Ci said lightly. Seeing Lian Qiao's expression of self-blame, she had to continue, "These few of them, Lin Chongwei is scrupulous and reckless, Wang Hansi is smooth and clear, and Fang Yuan is dull and dull. He can be subdued or suppressed by different methods when dealing with them. Except for Ning Yizhi, I have to learn more about him before making a conclusion."
"Ning Yizhi..." Haitang pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "My subordinates have noticed him. What impressed him the most was that the people in the room, including the dull Fang Yuan, were drinking and having fun. Only he did not touch the wine, and was not close to women."
"This is a bit difficult..." Chu Ci held his jaw and looked down at Lian Qiao, who dared not raise her head, and said, "What we can do here is wine and color, but Ning Yizhi, a weirdo, doesn't touch anything. What should we do?"
Lian Qiao realized that she had really caused trouble, and blushed and said, "It's okay, if you don't get close to wine and sex, just let him get close to you! I must have a way to get him."
"Liang Qiao." Chu Ci interrupted Lian Qiao's words, and his face no longer had the joke expression he had just said, and he asked calmly, "How old are you this year?"
"Ah, ten, fourteen!" Lian Qiao said inexplicably.
"Do you like Ning Yizhi?" Chu Ci continued to ask.
"No! That man looks good, but he always feels cold and not as fun as Lin Chongwei!" Lian Qiao said disdainfully.
"You are young and are the same as the child's character. Since you don't like him, there is no need to force yourself to approach him and hook him. I said so, do you understand?" Chu Ci asked slowly.
Lian Qiao was a little confused, but Haitang, who was a few years older than Chu Ci, understood it. She looked at Chu Ci with complicated eyes, then pulled Lian Qiao's sleeves and whispered: "You will understand these in the future. Now, thank you, my master first."
Chu Ci waved his hand, "No need to say this anymore, you guys."
"Miss!" Chu Ci was interrupted halfway, and Mudan walked out of the secret passage panting and said hurriedly behind her, "Lin Chongwei and the others are here, and now I have been arranged in the private room, barely comforting, but she is yelling to find Lian Qiao!"
"No problem, I'll go over now and lead Lian Qiao and Haitang to the secret passage first." Chu Ci ordered, and then specifically instructed Lian Qiao, "Remember, I won't admit it."
"Yes." Lian Qiao responded seriously, and then left with Mudan.
After they left, Chu Ci took out Lin Chongwei's jade pendant and handed it to Du Ruo and Mu Lian who were staying here, and said to them: "You two will sneak into the Dragon Soul Guard Camp now and find a way to 'return this jade pendant to its original position'."
After giving this order, Chu Ci calmly led the little maid to the private room. As soon as he approached, he heard Lin Chongwei getting angry:
"You said you didn't take it if you didn't take it? You're a three-year-old child who is so easy to cheat!"
Chu Ci pushed the door and interrupted Lin Chongwei's anger with a smile: "Why is Brother Lin so angry? Look, I'm scared Xiao Pump Mom!"
After saying this, Chu Ci went to see Lian Qiao for granted, and then she regretted saying this herself - the little pump girl looked at Uncle Lin with a smile. The dimples looked good-looking, and they didn't look scared at all?
Looking at Lin Chongwei again, why do you think that although this man was very angry, he was not so angry that he really did the little pumping lady? Otherwise, with his hot temper, wouldn’t it be more than enough to deal with a little pumping lady who is ignorant of the world?
Chu Ci's eyes lingered on Lin Chongwei and Lian Qiao several times, and felt that the two of them were a little subtle...
"Jia Junzi?" Lin Chongwei looked at Chu Ci in confusion and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chu Ci replied in a gentle voice: "Just have fun. This is nothing. Coincidentally, I was talking to this little pump lady, and the old man was anxious to take the person away from me. I felt puzzled and came to see him. Unexpectedly, it was Brother Lin, haha, it was such a coincidence!"
"You talk to her?" It was obvious that Lin Chongwei's focus was not on Chu Ci's words, and he asked inexplicably, "Why are you talking to her?"
"..." The men who were moved were all funny. Chu Ci didn't want to get stuck on this topic anymore, so he quickly changed the topic. "Since this is the coincidence, we don't have to find another day. Today I would like to ask you to have fun here. We will not return without getting drunk!"
Haitang, who was standing beside him, led Chu Ci to sit down, then bowed and asked, "What kind of song do you guys want to listen to?"
