Chapter 1731 How did she do it?
Early in the morning, the door of the room where Chu Xin lived was open, facing the gate outside, so he could see people coming and going outside at a glance.
But of course she couldn't see it.
Because the mansion was in chaos these past two days, they were asked to stay in their rooms "obediently", which means they were not allowed to wander around. She herself did not set foot outside, but Xue Ling came to her room early in the morning to take her away.
Embroidering something with needle and thread.
However, listening to her movements, there were always some movement and some stillness, and I just couldn't tell whether she stopped because she was in a trance or looking at something.
Ignore the original intention.
After a while, her sensitive ears heard a burst of hurried footsteps outside, which seemed a bit messy and hurried, as if many people were walking together.
Xue Ling also stopped working and even held his breath.
The footsteps did not stop and quickly walked past.
Xue Ling could hardly hold his breath.
Her room was further inside and she couldn't see what was happening outside, so she didn't sleep all night and couldn't fall asleep. She got up early and went to Chu Xin's room to look outside.
The road outside is the only way from the imperial concubine's room to the emperor's study.
She knew that the emperor and his men had returned to the Duwei Mansion with the wounded last night. Later, she heard that the emperor had taken the frightened imperial concubine back to her room. Since then, she had been unable to sleep.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about the emperor coming back.
After all, he was the emperor, the Son of Heaven, a man with the mandate of heaven, and a man blessed by heaven. Ordinary conspiracies and tricks would probably not be able to kill him.
However, when she saw him come back unharmed, she was still a little shocked.
I was even a little scared that I had exposed myself too early.
Although it was both her own intention and discovered by the astute Imperial Concubine, no matter what, if the Imperial Concubine saw her brother injured, she would be furious and lose her mind, ignore their agreement, and tell the Emperor about her affairs directly -
As for me, I'm afraid that even being torn into pieces by five horses would not be enough.
It would be fine if I died.
if--
Thinking of this, her heart felt sour and reluctant.
But no matter what, when the emperor walked over, he didn't stop at all, and didn't even look inside.
It seems that the imperial concubine kept her promise to him and did not expose herself.
Xue Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she also had some doubts.
Logically, the matter has been investigated. What method can the imperial concubine come up with to slow down the matter?
She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "How did she do it...?"
At this moment, Chu Xin's cold voice rang in his ears: "Your heart is not with me, why do you come to me every day? Also, what's going on with the mess outside?"
"It's Gui—it's the lady's brother. He's injured."
"Injured? How?"
"It seems like he was injured by the sand bandits."
"Injured by the sand bandits?"
Hearing this, Chu Xin frowned and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Xue Ling thought she was still worried about the bandits and was about to offer some words of comfort when he heard Chu Xin sneer, "That lady's brother is so useless, he deserves it."
Xue Ling was stunned when he heard this.
"Why do you say that? Those bandits did so much evil. They are the ones who harmed people."
"The Sand Bandits harmed people, but it depends on who they harmed."
Chu Xin sneered, "Men are all ruthless. If one dies, it's one. What's so regretful?"
