Chapter 179 The Bug Flies Away
When it comes to insects, people in Sheng'an country have heard more about them than seen them.
Chu Chengyi only knew that it was not difficult to trap someone, but it was very difficult to get rid of the trap.
Therefore, he was very careful about the contents of the two porcelain vases.
"Your Highness, take it out."
The two guards armed themselves and quickly took out the jar from the porcelain bottle.
"Put it in a box."
Chu Chengyi did not take the two jars, but asked the guards to put the jars into the camphorwood box that had been prepared in advance.
Once the camphorwood box is locked, the jar cannot be opened no matter what.
In this way, they can ensure that no one in their group will encounter any insects.
In the past five years, Emperor Yongping has done many things that Chu Chengyi cannot understand.
It was Chu Qinshu who told him that it was because Emperor Yongping had been bewitched by the Empress.
When the worm is awakened, Emperor Yongping will be unable to control his thoughts and do some stupid things.
It was for this reason that he did not discuss the previous events with Emperor Yongping.
On the contrary, after learning from Chu Qinshu's inner voice that the empress was imprisoned in a secret cell, he took the initiative to repair his relationship with Emperor Yongping.
"Guan Jue, take this box to the secret room and assign someone to guard it strictly."
After returning to the main courtyard, Chu Chengyi gave the box containing the insects to Guan Jue.
This thing is too dangerous, he can't take it to Yu's study.
I can only wait until I return to the East Palace in the afternoon and then give it to Chu Qinshu.
After Guan Jue came out of the secret room, Chu Chengyi left the main courtyard and went to Songji Courtyard to pick up Chu Yanjing and his brother and took them to Yu's study.
When they arrived at Yu's study, Emperor Yongping also admired his two legitimate grandsons, and hurriedly asked Lin Fu to take out several kinds of fruits from the ice box for them to eat.
These were all taken out by Chu Qinshu from the space, and Chu Chengyi had never seen some of them before.
However, he did not dare to ask where he came from.
Because even if he asked, Emperor Yongping would not tell him.
However, he could guess it without asking.
It would be better for him to just quietly try it out. When he grows up and is strong enough, his daughter will no longer hide these secrets from him.
After eating the fruit, Emperor Yongping took Chu Yanjing and his brother out to play in the snow.
As for Chu Chengyi, he continued to review memorials while holding Chu Qinshu.
After seeing the letter sent by the secret guards of the Eastern Palace, Chu Chengxi immediately wrote a letter and asked the secret guards to send it to the Imperial College.
The chief academician of the Imperial College and his family lived in the courtyard behind the Imperial College.
After receiving the letter, he would naturally keep his daughter under close watch and prevent any suspicious person from approaching.
Moreover, Chu Chengxi knew his fiancée.
She was an obedient and well-behaved girl. She took his instructions more seriously than an imperial edict.
After the secret guard left, Chu Chengxi began to think.
Should he take leave and go home, then stay at home for a few days, or should he just hide in the dormitory of the Ministry of Revenue for a few days?
If he asked for leave, he would have to go back home today. What if he met that vicious woman on the way?
But the dormitory of the Ministry of Household Affairs was only a temporary place to stay when there was an emergency, and it would not be convenient for him to stay there for a few more days.
Why not find an excuse and do something urgent?
Yes, Jingzhao Prefecture’s taxation in the past five years has not yet undergone the third audit.
I just checked this year's taxes, and there seems to be something wrong.
Well, this is really an urgent task. I will have to work from dawn to dusk for half a month. I am afraid it will take forever to finish it.
He has been working at the Ministry of Revenue for less than two years and is now a director, responsible for tax inspection.
Isn't this a coincidence?
After thinking it over, Chu Chengxi went to find his superior.
Emperor Yongping had no intention of taking Zhou Hongjing's life. After all, there was no such inactive official, and Wang Zhenyue could not succeed so easily.
But after Chu Chengxi's investigation, it's hard to say.
Whether it is merchants or local officials, just ask them, who is not afraid of tax inspections?
Zhou Hongjing had no idea what Zhou Jiaming had done. He was still expecting the events in Yuzhou to pass as quickly as possible.
As long as Jiang Baiqing can successfully rescue Chu Chengzhao, his life will be saved.
......
Returning to the East Palace at night, Chu Chengyi carried Chu Qinshu directly back to the main courtyard.
As soon as the box containing the insects was in Chu Qinshu's arms, it disappeared.
Chu Qinshu didn't explain, and Chu Chengyi didn't ask.
The wooden box that was dug out from the dog hole last time also disappeared in this way. This time, Chu Chengyi was mentally prepared.
But he still has the same principle: if his daughter doesn't want to talk, he will never ask any more questions.
“Ahh.”
[Dad took Shu'er to see Mom, and when it was time to rest at night, Shu'er went to see the insects.]
Chu Qinshu must check in at Jinseyuan every day. She doesn't want to be estranged from her biological mother Yu Jinyi.
As for the insect, Xiao Hulu will definitely think about it first when he sees it.
Her presence or absence won't cause any trouble.
......
An hour later, Chu Qinshu washed up and lay on the small rocking bed next to Chu Chengyi's bed, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
She didn't have to listen to her parents' sports symphony tonight, but she had to study insects, so she was destined not to go to bed early.
"Master, the little gourd has caused trouble."
As soon as she entered the space, Chu Qinshu heard Xiao Hulu's aggrieved voice.
"Hmm? What's the trouble?"
In the past, Xiao Hulu caused a lot of trouble.
But they were only confined to stealing durian and eggs, and forgetting to reinforce the fence around the well, allowing chickens and ducks to peck at the calabash vines.
Except for teasing Little Gourd once when she first discovered it, she never paid any attention to it.
But Xiao Hulu's aggrieved expression made her a little confused.
"That...that box was...was...opened by the little gourd."
Little Gourd was very nervous.
It thought there was some treasure in the camphorwood box, so it opened it and took a look out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, there were two identical pottery jars inside.
It was curious about what was in the pottery jar, so it opened the lid as well.
Then...
Alas, curiosity killed the cat. No, curiosity killed the little gourd.
"Well, then?"
Chu Qinshu suddenly had a bad feeling that the little gourd was definitely not as simple as just opening the box.
"The little gourd also opened the lids of the two pottery jars."
Little Hulu looked at the little finger, feeling guilty and not daring to raise his head.
"Well, what else?"
Chu Qinshu looked around the study but did not see any trace of the camphorwood box.
"And... and... and the bug in the jar flew away."
After Xiao Hulu finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The owner doesn't seem to be very angry, which probably means he doesn't blame it, right?
"Did it bite you?"
Chu Qinshu felt sorry for the insect flying away, but she was more worried that Xiao Hulu would be bitten by the insect or accidentally be bitten by the insect.
Insects are usually very delicate and will not leave their accustomed jars for no reason in an unfamiliar environment.
"No, as soon as the jar was opened, they flew away and Little Gourd couldn't catch up with them."
Little Gourd felt wronged again.
Before it could even see clearly what was in the jar, they flew away. This was simply too disrespectful to this spiritual treasure from the underworld.
"Still chasing? You are really brave. Do you know what those two bugs are? How dare you chase them?"
Chu Qinshu felt a little disappointed that they could not achieve their goal.
I used to be a very lazy little gourd, but recently I have become more and more diligent and curious.
It is true that he helped her a lot, but what was lost this time was most likely her royal grandfather's life-saving item.
She doesn't know whether she should be angry or not?
