Chapter 12 The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King
Wan He, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became active and said, "Why don't I go and take a look?"
Cha Jiu glanced at her, pretending not to be able to read her thoughts: "Then go and take a look."
"Be careful, don't get caught."
This last sentence sounded like a warning, but Wanhe was so anxious to get out that he didn't pay any attention.
Wan Xing felt that something was wrong with her and looked back at her master hesitantly: "My Lady..."
Cha Jiu looked at the doorway where no one had been seen, and said calmly, "Everyone has their own path. Since she has chosen it, let her do it."
Wanhe went out and didn't come back until almost time for Chajiu to have lunch.
As soon as she entered the room, Cha Jiu could see that her hair had been recombed, her collar was a little wrinkled, her face was full of color, and the corners of her lips were slightly red and swollen.
She was also holding a food box in her hand, which she used to explain why she had been away for so long.
"My lady, I went out for a walk and didn't see anyone. I think it must be the shadows of cats and dogs."
Having said that, she forced another smile and held up the food box in her hand: "I also went to the kitchen of Taihua Palace to find some vegetarian dishes and brought them back for your Majesty to taste."
Cha Jiu did not expose her, and ate the food prepared by Zhirou, saying, "Just leave it there."
The portions of the vegetarian dishes at Taihua Temple are all fixed and delivered to each room in advance. You don’t need to pick them up in person.
Wanhe was so perfunctory even when making excuses.
Seeing that Cha Jiu had enough people to serve her, Wan He looked at the empty inner room and had other thoughts.
She pretended to go over to clean up, but when no one was around, she took out her master's jewelry box.
Although there was no need for a grand ceremony when arriving at the Taihua Palace, the masters and ladies brought a lot of jewelry and accessories, one box after another, and even the masters themselves couldn't count the things inside.
If she steals some, she won't be discovered.
Wanhe secretly glanced at the outer room, and no one was looking that way.
She pretended to tidy up, but actually put some gold hairpins that her master rarely used and who should have no impression of them into her sleeves.
The secret guards hiding in the dark looked at each other in bewilderment.
His Majesty asked them to protect Zhao Ronghua's safety, so should he care about this dishonest palace maid who cheated on men and then stole things?
After lunch, Cha Jiu leaned on the bed, reading the storybook in boredom.
Wanxing specially brought the Xiuyu incense burner out from the palace and lit some calming incense so that Chajiu could have a good sleep.
There was no news from the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui, and the entire Taihua Palace was eerily quiet.
Wanhe walked in, glanced at Chajiu who was concentrating on reading, and whispered, "Let me take care of this, you go and have some rest."
Wan Xing looked at her hesitantly: "Do you know how to use this incense burner? You have to add incense every half an hour..."
Wanhe was a little impatient: "Of course I can, do you think I'm stupid?"
Wan Xing secretly complained in her heart, you dare to betray your master, aren't you stupid?
However, since the master had ordered to lure the snake out of its hole, Wan Xing could only leave this opportunity for Wan He to take action, and called the palace maids in the inner room to follow her out.
There was no one around. Wan He stared at Cha Jiu while secretly pouring the medicine powder in his fingernails into the incense burner.
Soon, Cha Jiu yawned repeatedly, his eyes slowly closed, and he fell asleep.
"It's done!" Wanhe was secretly happy and quickly opened the small window of the compartment.
There is a small gate leading to the back mountain, and anyone who is interested can avoid the guards and enter through there.
A man dressed as a nun climbed in through the window and was overjoyed to see the beauty sleeping soundly on the bed.
Last time at the palace banquet, he could not forget this peerless beauty dancing to the drum dance. Now, seeing her again, it seemed that the beauty was even more charming, and there was a faint fairy-like aura that could not be desecrated.
The beauty who cannot be desecrated becomes even more powerful when desecrated.
Zhang Baifeng was itching to get close to the beauty.
Wan He stopped him and asked anxiously: "Master, you said that you would marry me openly after the matter is completed. Is this true?"
Zhang Baifeng was a little impatient, but he also knew that this chess piece was still useful, so he could only pretend to be submissive: "Of course, after I have a good relationship with your master, I can use this to win her over, take you as my sister, and marry you to me as the eldest lady of the Zhang family. How about it?"
Wan He was delighted, but she also looked jealous: "My master has a beautiful body, even His Majesty lingers on her every day. I'm afraid that after you try her, you will look down on me."
Little did he know that Wanhe's words made Zhang Baifeng have endless fantasies about Chajiu. His mouth was dry and he had no patience to deal with this nagging palace maid.
He roughly grabbed the proud peaks on Wanhe's chest, causing her to cry out in pleasure, and then he said casually, "Little thing, wait until I'm done with your master, then I'll deal with you, and then you'll know whether I think highly of you or not."
Wanhe then shyly let go, and Zhang Baifeng hurriedly walked towards Chajiu's bed.
However, before he had taken ten steps, a secret guard jumped down from the beam and knocked him unconscious.
Wanhe opened her eyes wide, but before she could even scream, she was knocked unconscious by another secret guard.
"Leader, what should we do with these two people?" the secret guard asked in a female voice.
She kicked Zhang Baifeng to the side in disgust.
This kind of pervert wants to defile the person dear to your majesty. It is not a pity if he dies or is injured a hundred times.
The leader of the secret guards on the other side was indifferent: "Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who threatens the safety of the queen will be castrated."
The female guard seemed a little hesitant: "Zhang Baifeng is Concubine Hui's biological brother, the eldest son of the Zhang family..."
"Kill them all."
The leader of the secret guards tied Zhang Baifeng up like a dumpling and jumped out of the window.
Wanhe was tied to a pillar by the female secret guard, waiting to be dealt with after Chajiu woke up.
When the secret guard was tying up the man with his back to the bed, he did not see that Cha Jiu opened his eyes and was clear-headed.
But soon, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
During the dog days of summer, people need to sleep more to keep healthy.
…
Evening was approaching and the sun was setting in the west.
Although Taihua Temple was peaceful and quiet, there were undercurrents inside.
Concubine Hui Gui talked with the Queen Mother for quite a while, but Chunlan did not come over to deliver any news.
What's going on?
She had clearly arranged for her brother's assassins to work together with the maids around Zhao Ronghua to catch them in bed.
Why is there no movement until now?
Concubine Hui frowned, and her hands were absent-minded as she made tea.
The Queen Mother noticed that something was wrong with her: "What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind."
Concubine Hui forced a smile and said, "Nothing much. I was just thinking about praying for blessings tomorrow."
"The prayers have always been carried out according to the usual rules. There is nothing to worry about." The Queen Mother disagreed.
Concubine Hui was about to speak in agreement when Chunlan's panicked voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness the Queen Mother, Your Highness the Concubine, I have something important to report!"
Concubine Hui Gui's eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly said, "Send it quickly!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but frown when she saw her so impatient.
When Chunlan came in, her face was full of fear, and the two eunuchs carrying boxes behind her were also trembling all over.
A strong smell of blood suddenly appeared in the room.
