Chapter 737: Seeing Shao Yanru’s Confidant Again in His Previous Life
Shao Wanru lowered his head further and said hurriedly: "I heard from Zhang Xiang's daughter. She said she heard someone in Huaguang Temple talking about the innate phoenix life, and also mentioned Shao Yanru!"
Chu Liuchen had always known about the non-confrontation between her and Shao Yanru, so there was no need to hide it from him or express her deep sisterly affection for Shao Yanru in front of him.
Chu Liuchen was not in a hurry to answer, and pulled her back to sit on the wicker chair before. Then he leisurely pulled the wicker chair where he was sitting next to Shao Wanru, and sat down next to her.
"Is Shao Yanru born with a phoenix life?" He asked after sitting down.
Shao Wanru looked up, saw his somewhat lazy eyes, and nodded, "It's true. Zhang Qilan said he heard it, and there were guards guarding him, but he was not his father."
"Born with a phoenix life? This is a good idea!" Chu Liuchen thought about it seriously and suddenly smiled.
Born with a phoenix life, she naturally married someone who was born to sit on the throne. Now that the crown prince's position is undecided, it's hard to guess what the uncle's thoughts are. But others can't guess, but Chu Liuchen can guess a little bit. Yes, the so-called innate phoenix life is really a good idea!
"Your Highness doesn't know?" Shao Wanru asked. She had previously guessed whether Chu Liuchen's people had released the news. This so-called innate phoenix life is a good thing if used well, but not a good thing if used poorly!
"I haven't figured out how to deal with your family yet, Zhuo Zhuo thinks!" Chu Liuchen said with a smile, his voice was very calm. If you just listen to his voice, it's really hard to imagine that he would be a person with extreme ambitions. .
"Wait a minute!" Shao Wanru lowered his head and thought, the blush on his face slowly receded, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. If it was as he suspected, the death of his parents was related to his second wife. , she would never spare Duke Xingguo’s government.
"Since you said so, then so be it. As for the matter of this innate Phoenix fate, you don't have to worry about it. Since someone has made such a rumor, it is natural that the motive is not small, either it is Xingguo Gongfu himself, or it can be Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, but no matter who they are, you should not interfere in this matter!"
Chu Liuchen said.
Hearing these words, Shao Wanru's back was numb, but he also knew that this was the truth. The so-called destiny of being born with a phoenix must be very involved. It was definitely not something that a weak girl like herself could get involved in. Even if she was reborn, such a relationship Even important matters in the court are not allowed to be kissed by oneself.
He nodded: "I won't talk about this matter about the fate of a born phoenix again!"
"That's good, do you want to rest here for a while or go back?" Chu Liuchen smiled and turned to talk about other things.
"I'd better go back first. I've been out for a long time. If I don't go back, I'm afraid Yujie will come looking for me!" Shao Wanru stood up and looked out the window. The sun was setting outside the window. The sky was about to get dark. Yujie saw the others coming back. She had not gone back yet, so she must have panicked.
"It's okay. I've already sent someone to notify your maid!" Chu Liuchen stood up with a smile and looked down at Shao Wanru, "Why don't you stay here and have dinner before leaving?"
"I'd better go back, Shao Yanru will be suspicious!" Shao Wanru's face turned red inexplicably again, and the hint of affection in Chu Liuchen's words made her feel ashamed for a moment even if she sat down again.
Besides, there were some things that she had to go back and think about thoroughly.
"Okay then, I'll have someone take you back!" Chu Liuchen said softly.
"No, it will be inconvenient for people to see it!" Shao Wanru thought for a while and decided it was better to refuse, "Not far ahead is the Chuxiu Palace. You can see it from here."
Although she did not stand at the window sill and look out at the scenery just now, she had stood there many times in her previous life. She was not surprised that she could see Chuxiu Palace at a glance from that position.
"Okay, then be careful when you go back!" Chu Liuchen thought for a moment that it was indeed the case, and then he obeyed her.
He took her hand to the stairs, squeezed her hand a little harder, and then watched her go downstairs.
"Master, the Queen Mother's people are urging her again!" Xiao Xuanzi went upstairs again and saw Chu Liuchen standing at the small window on the stairs looking out, and reminded him gently.
The palace servants sent by the Queen Mother were brought inside to wait by him, so he did not see Miss Shao Wu coming downstairs. However, he kept paying attention to the outside. When he saw the guard making a gesture to him, he knew that Miss Shao Wu was gone. , then went upstairs again to report.
"Check when Zhang Xiang went to Huaguang Temple, who else went there, and who asked the abbot of Huaguang Temple for instructions." Chu Liuchen said calmly with his hands behind his back.
In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to check. It has been a long-standing legend that the abbot of Huaguang Temple can approve orders for others. It is also said that he is very accurate in approving orders, but he rarely approves orders for others!
"Yes, I will go check this out soon!" Xiao Xuanzi responded, knowing that his master must have discovered something else.
Chu Liuchen walked down: "Send someone to secretly protect the fifth young lady."
Qing'er didn't follow Shao Wanru into the palace, and it was naturally inconvenient for her two secret guards to enter the palace, but she had other people who could be sent here.
"Master, this is in the palace..." Xiao Xuanzi did not respond quickly this time, but reminded him carefully.
Some people in the palace rarely take action and only take action at the most critical moment.
"I know it's in the palace. If I can't protect my woman in the palace, what's the use!" Chu Liuchen said coldly. The light at the stairway dimmed, and that handsome face seemed to be hidden. In the darkness, there was a cold and bloodthirsty atmosphere. Xiao Xuanzi trembled with fright and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will do it now!"
When Shao Wanru came back, the entrance of Chuxiu Palace was very quiet. Some young ladies who had left the palace were coming out. Soft sedans had been placed at the entrance, and there were also some close friends sending them off. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were cold. Alone!
Shao Wanru stood at the door, frowning at a palace maid, and the corners of her eyes suddenly twitched. She not only knew this palace maid, but also remembered it very clearly. The last memory this palace maid left for her was that of following Shao Yanru. Next to her is Shao Yanru's personal maid, and she is also a confidant.
In the last life, every time I saw Shao Yanru, I would see her. She was Shao Yanru's most powerful accomplice!
"Fifth sister, where have you been?" Shao Yanru and Shao Caihuan were seeing Shao Cailing off at the door. Suddenly they turned their eyes and saw Shao Wanru. They immediately picked up their skirts and walked over, "Fourth sister is leaving. I wanted to say goodbye to you just now. I didn’t expect that I couldn’t find you!”
Shao Yanru looked worried.
Shao Caihuan twitched the corner of her lips mockingly. She felt that Shao Yanru was indeed the most famous lady in her family. Look at what she said. She said all the good things, as if she had always been the kindest and most decent person. It seems like, as for the other few, they are of course her foils.
On the one hand, her words meant that Shao Wanru didn't know etiquette and ran around as soon as he arrived in the palace. If something happened, it might harm the family. On the other hand, she also said that Shao Cailing was also shameless. He was kicked out, and he is still finding various excuses to keep him from leaving.
"Sister, I didn't say I wanted to wait for the fifth sister, nor did I say I wanted to find the fifth sister. I just can't bear to leave the third sister. I'm just talking here. The third sister feels uneasy being alone in the palace." Shao Cailing usually doesn't like to talk, but It didn't mean that she was convinced by Shao Yanru. Now she was the one who was cut off. When Shao Yanru said this, she immediately became rude and raised her eyebrows.
"Fourth sister, I'm sorry, you thought you were waiting for fifth sister, so you specifically said a few more words to third sister." Shao Yanru explained softly with a smile, not getting angry because of Shao Cailing's sudden rebellion.
This look was much more dignified and decent than Shao Cailing's, and at the same time, it made Shao Cailing even more unreasonable.
"You..." Shao Cailing was so angry that she wanted to speak, but Shao Caihuan grabbed her and pinched her gently to signal her to shut up.
She is still very convinced of her sister Shao Cailing, "Fourth sister, please go back first. You will help take care of my mother. When I come back one day, I will definitely honor my mother well. She is not in good health, so we sisters have to Only one of them should stay at home to take care of her!"
Shao Caihuan could talk more than Shao Cailing, and his words seemed to be very decent. Regarding Shao Cailing being moved back, he only said that someone should stay to take care of the third lady, and his words were quite filial. Compared with Mrs. Xingguo, who is still here Yu Hui'an, and heard that she was in poor health, but Shao Yanru didn't ask a question. The sisters in the third room seemed even more filial.
Misses from aristocratic families, if there are a large number of people selected in the first batch, they can secretly communicate with the palace first. Anyway, it is impossible for everyone to be selected in the end, why not get rid of them early. It sounds like Shao Cailing left the palace after the agreement. Yes, it's not that it's not outstanding. This reason is better and more harmless to Shao Cailing.
There are so many outstanding sisters, Miss Shao Si took the initiative to withdraw, her behavior is impeccable, and her purpose is for her sick mother, which makes people feel even more filial!
Shao Yanru didn't expect that these two sisters who didn't talk much on weekdays would speak so fiercely, and she was secretly annoyed. If she had known that she and her grandmother had discussed it that day, they would have to be the first batch to be brushed off, so that Shao Caihuan wouldn't have to do this. Shi actually pretended to be more filial than herself in front of him.
"Fourth sister is filial!" Shao Yanru said with envy.
"Eldest sister, third sister, fifth sister, I'll leave first!" Seeing that Shao Yanru was no longer entangled in the topic, Shao Cailing calmed down her temper. After all, the third house had always been very afraid of the second house, and Shao Cailing was so angry that she just spoke. What she blurted out, if it weren't for the fact that she was the only one among the four sisters who was dismissed, and she was in a bad mood, she would not dare to really contradict Shao Yanru.
Now that he had calmed down, his attitude became much more friendly. After bowing to them all, he took the maid to a soft sedan chair in front of the palace gate.
"Where did the fifth sister go just now? Is there someone familiar in this palace?" Seeing Shao Cailing leaving, Shao Yanru turned around and looked at Shao Wanru with a smile.
The words were the same, but the meaning was closer than before. Even Shao Caihuan stretched his ears to listen to them!
