Chapter 211 "It's better to prepare for a rainy day."
Chapter 211 "It's better to prepare for a rainy day."
Xie Qinghuan regained a lot of energy after a good sleep.
She persuaded herself, what does it matter if they are not together?
As long as he is still alive and well in this world, it will be fine.
After hearing Yuzhu's report that his father and brother had just come, he hurried to the front hall to have dinner with them.
I just heard them talking about sending troops to attack Chu Yingji.
She told Xie Zhiqiu what she and Chu Jiarou had discussed.
However, Xie Zhiqiu was not as relaxed as he had imagined.
Instead, he looked worried.
He rubbed his fingers and narrowed his eyes.
"Qing Huan, this is a risky move. Have you considered the next step?"
"This……"
She just thought that as long as she knew the location of Uncle Huang, she could rescue him...
Xie Zhiqiu saw what she was thinking.
explained:
“If the information about the emperor’s location is wrong, or the attack misses, we will fail to rescue the emperor.
Wouldn't that affect the safety of the emperor? And what would happen to Princess Jiarou?"
Xie Tingzhou saw Xie Qinghuan's dilemma.
To solve the problem:
“It’s better to prepare for a rainy day.”
"Hmm...how do you say that?"
Xie Qinghuan also looked at Xie Tingzhou.
Then he put down the bowl in his hand.
Think about it for a moment.
“Before Sanqian left, he told me that if the situation became difficult to control.
You can send Qing Huan to Xiyue, he has already arranged everything there, and someone will pick her up."
"Brother, are you saying that if the truth is revealed, we should send Chu Jiarou to Xiyue?"
"Ah."
Xie Zhiqiu pondered.
"This is a possible solution... But how is Sanqian connected to Xiyue?"
Xie Tingzhou and Xie Qinghuan looked at each other guiltily.
Xie Qinghuan hurriedly covered up for his third brother.
"Ah, it was when Third Brother and I went to Mount Qishan that we accidentally met the Prince of Xiyue... Ah, yes, that's it!"
"Prince Xiyue? When has he ever been to Chu? No, I have to check it out. Could it be that there is a Xiyue spy in Chu?"
“Hey, Dad!!”
Xie Qinghuan called him, but he left without even turning back, lifting his robe.
Thinking in my heart.
Dong Liao is already in chaos now, what if Xi Yue comes to interfere again...
That's really...
God is going to destroy our Chu State!
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Xie Qinghuan could only instruct Qianyin Pavilion to be on guard.
After returning to Yueqiongyuan, he anxiously waited for news from Chu Jiarou.
Finally, three days later.
She invites her to the palace for tea.
It gave Xie Qinghuan a headache...
She is too blatant!
When I complained to her, she was still confident:
"He's bound to know about your entry into the palace anyway! It's better to be open and aboveboard!"
"Yes, yes, you are right. Tell me, what did you find out?"
Chu Jiarou heard this.
He picked her up by her skirt, pulled her into the inner room mysteriously, and sat down with her.
Whisper.
"I heard that 'Chaoyang Palace', 'Ziqing Palace', 'Muhua Palace' and 'Jing'an Palace' are all suspicious..."
Xie Qinghuan frowned.
Good guy.
The third brother said that five palaces were suspicious.
She checked for three whole days and ruled out one for me!
"So which of these four should I go to?"
"Hey, don't be impatient, just listen to me slowly!"
Xie Qinghuan sighed.
it is good.
No hurry, I'm not in a hurry.
"That's what you say."
"Although these four palaces are suspicious and the guards are more dense than other places...but!"
She paused and emphasized:
"I asked someone to inquire in detail. The 'toilets' in Chaoyang Palace and Ziqing Palace have never been emptied. No one must be living there!"
She raised her chin triumphantly.
Ask for credit and reward.
Xie Qinghuan was not stingy with praise and applauded her.
"Great job, where are the other two palaces?"
She pursed her lips.
"I didn't find out about the other two."
"Then this..."
"But! Listen to my analysis!"
She interrupted Xie Qinghuan's temper with a raised palm and raised her eyebrows.
"'Muhua Palace' was the palace where Chu Yingji was allowed to live when the late emperor was alive.
Such an honor... He would definitely not use it to imprison his father.
So, it must be the Jing'an Palace. You can be sure if you trust me!"
Xie Qinghuan began to murmur when he heard this.
"'Muhua Palace' is the residence bestowed upon him by the late emperor?
Do you think a person with his personality will cherish or destroy it?
I think, with his peculiar thinking...
They will most likely lock up Uncle Huang there and humiliate him."
"Eh? What you said does make sense..."
Xie Qinghuan rolled his eyes at her helplessly.
Not firm at all!
"So what's your plan?"
Chu Jiarou became excited again.
"I have already done the research! The guards in these palaces all change shifts at 15:30.
All we have to do is sneak in when they change shifts!"
"It's not that simple! Can I just take a look and come out?
I have to take Uncle Huang's pulse and leave some antidote for him!
It will take at least a cup of tea!"
"That……"
Xie Qinghuan hesitated for a moment.
"Can you help me find a set of clothes for a sword guard?"
"What are you going to do?"
"See if I can get my guards in to sneak in and buy me some time!"
"Let me try!"
The two of them did what they said.
He also gave the palace maid who delivered the food a laxative.
Xie Qinghuan disguised herself as a palace maid, took the food, and went to Muhua Palace with her head down.
There are indeed many more guards here than in other palaces.
The guard at the palace gate asked her:
"Why is it so late today?"
In order to avoid being exposed, Xie Qinghuan did not answer.
He just nodded and sneaked in while it was still dark.
The guards outside the palace gate checked the food and tested for poison as usual.
After going through this process, Xie Qinghuan became more certain...
The emperor's uncle is locked up inside.
pity.
There was a padlock on the palace door.
However, judging from the length of the chain, it was enough to open a wide gap in the palace door.
She should be able to put her hand in and check Uncle Huang's pulse.
"What are you looking at? Put down the food and leave!"
Xie Qinghuan nodded.
Go up the stairs slowly.
Finally, it was time for the guards to change shifts.
Xie Qinghuan followed the two guards out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Han Feng among the guards who came to change shifts.
Wait until the original guards left.
Han Feng pretended to call her.
"Wait a minute, has the food been tested for poison? Come with me and take a look."
The three of them turned around.
Just walked to the temple door.
Han Feng knocked out another guard.
Xie Qinghuan winked at Han Feng.
He nodded and quickly walked to the door to keep watch for her.
Xie Qinghuan hurriedly squatted down and knocked gently on the door of the palace.
He lowered his voice and called:
"Uncle Huang? Uncle Huang, are you in there? I'm Qing Huan! Uncle Huang?"
Two breaths passed.
Just when Xie Qinghuan was wondering if he had worked in vain today...
There was a noise from inside the door.
"Qinghuan? Qinghuan, why are you here? It's so dangerous, go back quickly!"
Xie Qinghuan felt a little sad when he heard the familiar voice.
"Uncle Huang, how are you? Did Chu Yingji torture you?"
"I...I'm fine. But you guys, what did your father say? Has your uncle returned to Beijing?"
"My father said that Chu Yingji was colluding with Dong Liao, and the King of Dongzhou was raising private soldiers, trying to reap the benefits...
My uncle can't come back for the time being. He has to suppress the King of Dongzhou and beware of the Dongliao army approaching.
But they said... as long as the emperor uncle does not hand over the jade seal, Chu Yingji will not harm your life!"
