Chapter 363 Miss Zhao Dressed up Carefully
Silence!
The cold wind rushed into the front hall, and the sky and the earth were filled with chill.
Sharp and creepy!
Chen Changqing knelt in the front hall, his whole body was in a mess, his clothes were stained with a lot of blood, and he looked very weak.
But his eyes were extremely firm.
He raised his head and looked directly at the looming figure behind the screen in front of him.
His tone was firm and resounding.
Lingering in the hall!
All around, it suddenly fell into silence.
There was no response for a long time!
Until I don’t know how long it was, the cold and hoarse voice came again from behind the screen.
"You, want to work for our family?!"
"Exactly!"
Chen Changqing spoke in a deep voice, raised his head, and said word by word: "I want a chance to work for you!"
"I will also prove to you that I can do better than them!"
After a moment of silence, a voice without any emotion came from behind the screen again: "How do you prove it?"
Chen Changqing's voice was loud and clear: "I will help you solve all your problems in Beijing. Protect the interests of you and Mi Tiansi, so that you can be safe in the palace and the court!"
"Let those who have been secretly taking advantage of my Mi Tiansi pay a heavy price!"
"If you are willing to trust me, I will definitely not let you down!"
Chen Changqing's expression was very calm, his tone was very calm, and his words did not hide his greedy purpose at all... He wanted to be loyal to Eunuch Chen, he was unwilling to be under someone else for a long time, he wanted power, and wanted to rise to prominence!
And this is also the situation that Eunuch Chen wanted to see the most!
There was silence again behind the screen. After a while, the hunched figure finally walked out from behind the screen.
This was an old man in his fifties, with a hunched body and a staggering look.
This man had a plain appearance and a withered face. He was wearing a black robe, as if he was extremely weak and could be blown away by a gust of wind.
However, on this slightly old face, the pair of bright eyes hidden under the eye sockets were faintly shining.
It gave people an indescribable temperament!
The person in front of him was Chen Zhao!
The powerful eunuch in the Daning Dynasty!
He was favored by the emperor and played an important role in the court. He was feared and frightened by countless people.
Perhaps it was the habit he had developed over the years that made him have a bit of indescribable femininity.
Especially when his eyes were fixed on people, people felt numb and shuddered.
"Your name is, Chen Changqing?"
Chen Zhao stared at Chen Changqing kneeling in the hall, staring at him, and asked in a cold voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Changqing replied: "I am Chen Changqing, the leader of the Secret Heaven Division personally appointed by you, sir!"
"The leader of the Secret Heaven Division..."
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene when he appointed this person.
After a moment, he stared at Chen Changqing coldly, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "You have killed your colleagues and committed many evil deeds. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Chen Changqing said calmly: "A few years ago, my father-in-law taught me that those who achieve great things should not be fussy about trivial matters. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people... All those who stand in your way deserve to die!"
"They are not as skilled as others, but they can do things for my father-in-law!"
"So, they deserve to die!"
Chen Zhao stared at him and said coldly: "What if one day, I stand in your way?"
"I dare not!"
Chen Changqing lowered his head, "My father-in-law is a favorite of His Majesty, with a high position and power. I will never threaten my father-in-law's position. I just want to do things for my father-in-law, make a name for myself, and return home in glory in the future..."
Chen Zhao did not speak, staring at the man in front of him with a cold face, hesitating.
Chen Changqing?
He had some impression that he was promoted by him. Although he is not a confidant, this person is quite capable and is indeed a talent...
At present, the Secret Heaven Division has suffered a heavy blow!
The four guardians and four confidants under him all died tragically. For a while, Chen Zhao was left with no one to use.
Chen Zhao has been running the Secret Heaven Division for many years and has controlled it in his hands, which has become a weapon for him to eliminate dissidents in Beijing.
He will naturally not give up the Secret Heaven Division easily!
Now that Zhao Changyuan and Chen Feiyang are dead, his control over the Secret Heaven Division has been greatly weakened. It is difficult to support and cultivate confidants again in a short period of time.
In this way, Chen Zhao's only choice next is Chen Changqing in front of him!
At this moment, Chen Zhao realized the purpose of the man in front of him.
What a good method!
Chen Zhao sneered in his heart and stared at the man in front of him coldly. After a while, he said coldly: "You killed your colleagues, how can we trust you?"
"I am loyal to you!"
Chen Changqing looked calm, "How can you trust me?"
"You are very ambitious, we like people like you."
Chen Zhao stared at him: "But..."
As he said, Chen Zhao reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, and threw it in front of Chen Changqing.
"Eat it!"
Chen Changqing stared at the porcelain bottle on the ground, looked up at Chen Zhao, and saw Chen Zhao staring at him coldly.
Chen Changqing picked up the porcelain bottle on the ground, opened it, and poured out a black pill from it.
The pill exuded an indescribable stench.
Chen Changqing frowned, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. But in the end, he put the pill into his mouth expressionlessly and swallowed it!
When Chen Zhao saw Chen Changqing swallow the pill, a satisfied look appeared on his face.
The coldness in his eyes also weakened a little: "Okay!"
"In that case, I'll give you a chance!"
Chen Zhao stared at him: "In the future, I'll hand over the Secret Division to you. Your words represent my intentions. I hope you won't let me down!"
Hearing this, Chen Changqing's heart was shocked, and he immediately said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you, and do my best until I die!"
Seeing this, Chen Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
At the moment, he has no one to use, and Chen Changqing in front of him is the best choice.
Although this person's methods are a bit fierce, he is obedient, honest, and ambitious, which is enough!
Although he killed two of his guardians, it doesn't matter to Chen Zhao. Those guardians are just a few dogs under his command.
If they die, they die, and they can be replaced with another batch!
He likes ambitious people!
He is very satisfied with the fierce methods and loyal attitude of this person!
"Our family will give you all the glory and wealth, let you rise to prominence, and will never let you down. But..."
At this point, Chen Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was cold: "If you dare to betray our family, the poison you just swallowed will make you suffer from the attack of thousands of insects and die miserably in agony!"
Chen Changjiu trembled slightly, and a look of horror appeared on his face. But soon, he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, eunuch, I have no second thoughts!"
"No is the best!"
Chen Zhao looked back expressionlessly, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Now that they are dead, the prestige of the Mi Tian Division has been greatly hit, and those officials in the court are eyeing our family covetously. Do you know what to do?"
"Don't worry, eunuch!"
Chen Changqing said in a deep voice: "I will find out those officials who are behind the scenes against you and get rid of them!"
Chen Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Also, the death of Zhao Changyuan and Chen Feiyang..."
"Have you found the murderer?"
"I am investigating hard and there will be results soon!"
Chen Zhao's face gradually became solemn, and a murderous intent flashed across his face: "Find out the murderer and kill him without mercy!"
"It is better to kill by mistake than to let him go!"
"I obey your order!"
"..."
Chen Zhao left and returned to the palace!
Since such a big thing happened in the Mi Tian Division, his confidants were almost wiped out. Naturally, he had to leave the palace to appease the people of the Mi Tian Division.
Now that the matter has been dealt with, after handing over the power of the Secret Heaven Division to Chen Changqing, he returned to the palace!
After Chen Zhao left, Chen Changqing still knelt in the front hall, without moving for a long time.
Until a long time later, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. Then his body was unstable and he fell to the ground.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands. There was a hint of confusion in his calm expression!
And an indescribable trance!
He succeeded!
He gained the trust of Mr. Chen and successfully took the power of the Secret Heaven Division into his hands.
From now on, he will be the real leader of the Secret Heaven Division. He has power that he has never had before!
And this is what he dreamed of when he entered the Secret Heaven Division.
Now that he finally got it, he was not as relaxed as he imagined.
On the contrary, his expression became more solemn.
If you want to get something, you must lose something.
Chen Changqing knew very well how much he paid to gain the trust of Mr. Chen!
He made a risky move!
Very dangerous!
If there is any mistake, he could die without a burial place at any time!
Chen Changqing admitted that he had a gambling element!
But he won the bet!
Once the four guardians died, this Chen Gong had no useful confidants in his hands, and his control over the Secret Heaven Division was almost zero. He must be restless!
And there was only one choice left for him!
Chen Zhao wanted to regain control of the Secret Heaven Division, and the only choice was the leader of the Secret Heaven Division, Chen Changqing!
And this is why Chen Changqing dared to kill the remaining two guardians so forcefully.
Once Zhao Changyuan and Chen Feiyang died, the remaining two guardians could no longer pose any threat to him. Chen Changqing killed them and gave Chen Gong a move of killing first and reporting later.
Completely cut off Chen Gong's retreat!
On the other hand, Chen Changqing did not hide his purpose.
He fully demonstrated his purpose, his ambition for power, and his unwillingness to be under someone else for a long time!
That Mr. Chen was suspicious by nature and would not trust him easily. But Chen Changqing still chose to take this step.
If he had not revealed his greed for success, Chen Zhao would definitely doubt his purpose and would never trust him easily.
But Chen Changqing's honest purpose and undisguised ambition made Mr. Chen less suspicious.
But even so, Chen Zhao was still very cautious and forced Chen Changqing to take the poison!
Chen Changqing closed his eyes and felt the pill he had just swallowed.
Chen Zhao poisoned him to control him and make him dare not act rashly.
After a while, Chen Changqing opened his eyes. He could not feel the presence of the poison, but he knew that he must have been poisoned.
But it doesn't matter!
Chen Changqing slowly got up from the ground!
When he decided to take this step, he had already put life and death behind him.
He got the power he had always wanted, and he finally had the opportunity to display his ambitions for so many years.
Chen Changqing turned his back to the hall and looked into the darkness ahead, his face full of determination. After a moment, he took a step and strode into the darkness.
…
early morning.
Zhao Mansion!
The cold wind blew, making the trees in the courtyard rustle.
Inner courtyard, under the eaves.
Xiaoyue quickly came to the door of her young lady's room and knocked on the door.
"Miss?"
"Come in."
Zhao Xi's soft voice came from the room.
Xiaoyue then opened the door and walked into the room. He closed the door and took off his shoes again.
Looking up, he saw a figure sitting quietly beside the dressing table by the window not far away.
"Miss!"
Xiaoyue slowly walked up behind the young lady. Through the bronze mirror, she saw a face that was both heavenly and beautiful. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss, you look so good today?"
Zhao Xi was sitting quietly at the table, looking at himself in the bronze mirror, his beautiful eyes flowing: "When will I not look good?"
"Young lady will look good any day!"
Xiaoyue smiled playfully and said, "Young lady is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"Don't, I don't have the ability yet!"
Zhao Xi rolled her beautiful eyes, but she hadn't grown to that point yet.
But Xiaoyue didn't think so. She looked at the young lady in the bronze mirror and couldn't help but admire her.
In the bronze mirror, a beautiful and delicate face is reflected, with eyebrows like distant daisies, eyes like autumn water, with clarity and transparency. Under the tall and straight nose, the bright cherry mouth is slightly pursed.
Today, Zhao Xi also wore a little light makeup on her face, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks, which made her whole person look more graceful and luxurious, with an indescribable sense of beauty!
Her fair and slender neck is as elegant as a swan. Between the rolled up hair, a jade-white hairpin is inserted diagonally into it. A few strands of hair that are not bound fall down on her chest, while the rest are simply tied up. scattered behind.
Such an appearance, ethereal and cold, with an elegant temperament is hard to find in the world!
"In my eyes, Miss is the most beautiful woman in the world, no one can compare with her!!"
Xiaoyue praised her repeatedly.
Zhao Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror, with an indescribable look of joy on his face, and his beautiful eyes were lively.
"Is it really that beautiful?"
"It's true!!"
Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, stop boasting!"
Zhao Xi looked back at her: "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, miss, the carriage is ready!"
Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly, but soon thought of something again, and a look of doubt appeared on her face: "Miss..."
"Um?"
"Aren't we going to visit Nanhu Lake today? Miss, why are you dressed up so beautifully?"
Zhao Xi asked back: "What day did I not dress up well?"
"No, just, just..."
Xiaoyue hesitated, not knowing how to describe it for a moment.
"Shouldn't you dress up better when you go out to play?"
"But, but..."
Xiaoyue didn't know what to say, but it just felt strange.
The lady today is different from before!
Today's young lady rarely paid attention to her own image. She put on a light make-up and dressed herself up carefully.
It feels like the young lady is not going to visit Nanhu Lake, but is planning to have a secret tryst with her lover...
