Chapter 144 The Nightmare Reappears
Zhao Mingzhu returned to the East Palace. She turned and asked Changshu, "Did you understand her last words?"
Changshu shook his head: "I don't understand it either."
Zhao Mingzhu sighed and said, "I don't know this either. Otherwise, I should bring an oral expert with me."
It was already late at night. When Zhao Mingzhu returned to Tingchaoyuan, Gu Qingheng had not returned yet.
Qiao'er saw that she was alone and Yinfeng behind her was nowhere to be seen.
"Crown Princess..."
"She is Su Lu, dead."
"Dead?" Qiao'er was stunned after hearing this, and then realized that Zhao Mingzhu was talking about Su Lu.
What! She actually sneaked into the Eastern Palace?
"Then the Crown Princess, did she do anything bad?"
Qiao'er circled around Zhao Mingzhu and looked her over and over in a hurry.
"Nothing." Zhao Mingzhu collapsed on the beauty couch and said:
"But there must be someone behind her, but I don't know who it is."
"Forget it, never mind him, let's wait until the problem comes to us."
Zhao Mingzhu closed her eyes for a while, half asleep, when the double clouds came in like a whirlwind.
"Princess, are you okay?"
Shuangyun's face was full of self-blame. She had just heard Qiao'er say that Yinfeng was actually the Crown Princess's former mortal enemy.
And she even pushed him in front of the Crown Princess and asked her to serve her closely.
The more I think about Shuangyun, the more scared I become.
If that Su Lu had done something bad to the Crown Princess, she would be a sinner for all eternity and her death would not be a pity!
Zhao Mingzhu rubbed her eyes, then said helplessly: "I'm fine, but Shuangyun, are you hiding something from me?"
Shuangyun was puzzled after hearing this: "No, this servant has nothing to hide from the Crown Princess."
Zhao Mingzhu leaned the soft pillow against her back and asked teasingly, "Really?"
Shuangyun shook his head firmly.
"So what's going on between you and Changshu?"
Shuangyun's face flushed after hearing this. She touched her burning face and said, "Crown Princess..."
When Zhao Mingzhu saw this, she knew that something really happened, so she called a few girls in.
Qiao'er was holding a sandalwood box, and Zhao Mingzhu handed it to Shuangyun: "This is the dowry I prepared."
Shuangyun held the box, and then at Qiao'er's signal, he opened it and took a look.
A few silver notes, and finally a house deed.
"I heard from Qiao'er that Changshu hasn't bought a new house yet, so this house is given to you as your dowry."
"Next time you have a quarrel with Changshu, you can tell him to get lost with a clear conscience." Zhao Mingzhu enjoyed watching the fun.
"This is too valuable. How can I live in a house with three entrances?" Moreover, this house is not far from the East Palace, which shows how valuable it is.
Zhao Mingzhu waved her hand, then said to Jin Yinzhu: "When you two get married in the future, you will also have the same dowry as Shuangyun. I will give it to you before you get married."
Jinzhu shook her head: "I don't need that. I'm a family-born child." Her child would not leave the Eastern Palace either.
After hearing this, Qiao'er elbowed her and said, "The Crown Princess will release you when the time comes. You don't need to hint at her here."
Jin Zhu was an honest person. She said anxiously, "No, I'm not hinting at the Crown Princess... The Crown Princess is good to us, and I am willing to stay in the East Palace forever."
She lives in the East Palace better than other young ladies from ordinary families. She is not that kind of confused person.
Yinzhu also said: "This slave girl will not get married."
Zhao Mingzhu looked over. Yinzhu was always quiet, so she teased:
"You can't spy on me forever, right?"
Yinzhu was stunned when these words came out. She stammered, "Crown Princess, you... you know?"
Zhao Mingzhu: Hmm, it’s actually not difficult to find out.
Yinzhu looks very different from Jinzhu. Jinzhu cannot fold her bedding as neatly and meticulously as Yinzhu.
"If the Crown Princess finds out, will she chase me away?" Yinzhu grabbed the corner of her clothes, feeling a little nervous.
Zhao Mingzhu stood up and herded the few people like sheep:
"Hurry up, hurry up, otherwise those who want to get married won't be allowed to, and those who don't want to get married will get married right away!"
When the girls heard this, they all ran away.
Zhao Mingzhu closed the door with a smile and prepared to have a good sleep.
But.
…
The dragon-red candle burned brightly, and the red wax flowed down like tears of blood.
Gu Qingheng, dressed in wedding clothes, smiled softly and pinched the woman below him.
The clear sound of bones breaking made Zhao Mingzhu's neck feel cold. This dream appeared again.
In fact, she escaped partly for freedom and partly because she feared for her life.
And every time she had such a dream, she would be a little afraid of Gu Qingheng.
“…”
Zhao Mingzhu sat up and touched her neck first. It was just another dream.
Why did I dream about it again out of the blue?
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qingheng came back at some point. He sat on the edge of the bed and saw the person in front of him sweating profusely.
It seems like a nightmare.
Zhao Mingzhu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "I dreamed that you strangled me to death."
She didn't hide anything this time and told the truth.
Gu Qingheng tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "It was just a dream."
Zhao Mingzhu thought so too. She was probably too scared, so she couldn't forget it subconsciously.
"Forget it, I want to continue sleeping." Zhao Mingzhu closed her eyes and ordered Gu Qingheng:
"Now that you're back, blow out the lamp. It's too bright and I can't sleep well."
"Um."
The room suddenly became dark, and Gu Qingheng looked at her through the night.
After a moment, he heard the other person's steady breathing and his fingertips fell on the collarbone.
How many years ago was it last time this was broken?
