Chapter 190 Leaving the seat
The men and women of the banquet were separated by a thin screen.
The sound of silk and bamboo, the dancing sleeves are graceful, and the cups are mixed between the table, and the scene of singing and dancing in peace.
However, Mrs. Gu, who was sitting at the lower head, had no intention of appreciating the banquet. She looked at the hall door frequently, frowned, and the handkerchief in her hand was rubbed into distortion.
" Why haven’t this girl come back yet? "Xie Nian felt more and more uneasy.
As the princess of Daye, she grew up in the deep palace since she was a child and was used to open and secret struggles in the palace. Now the dispute over the throne is getting worse and worse, and the Gu family has no clear position. She is really worried that her daughter will be trapped by a villain.
She called her personal maid in a low voice and quietly told the second young master that he would send someone to find Yun Xuan again. "
Gu Yunjie was chatting with several young masters of aristocratic families. When he received the news from his mother, he frowned slightly. He looked around and glanced across the hall, but he could not see his sister.
"Tell my mother not to worry, I will send someone to find her. "He whispered to the maid who was passing the message, and then stood up and left the seat.
However, before taking two steps, the young master from the Minister of Rites greeted him with a glass of wine: “Sir Gu, it’s rare to get together today, I will give you a glass of wine.” "
Gu Yunjie was anxious, but he didn’t show his face, so he raised his glass calmly: " You are kind to me. "He drank it all and was about to say goodbye, but found that several children from aristocratic families had gathered around him at some point.
" Mr. Gu is young and promising, and has admired her for a long time. Today, we must ask for advice. "
"That’s right, Mr. Gu cannot favor one or the other. "
Gu Yunjie’s eyes darkened, and he knew it clearly in his heart. These people were clearly procrastinating on purpose, and it seems that something happened to Yun Xuan. My father followed His Majesty to the Imperial Study Room, and the eldest brother was transferred to investigate the assassin in Cining Palace. Now he is also trapped here. It is really a good way to get rid of the firewood!
Not far away, Chu Qingyuan took all this in his sight. She keenly noticed the anxiety flashing in Gu Yunjie’s eyes, and gently stroked the edge of the wine glass with her fingertips. This Gu Yunjie is quite calm in front of outsiders. He is so out of control today. I guess he has encountered a difficult thing.
She put down her wine glass and slowly walked towards Gu Yunjie in the crowd.
“Second Young Master Gu,” she stood up from her position, went to Gu Yunjie, and raised her glass to drink with him.
Taking advantage of the moment of clinking cups, Gu Yunjie quietly stuffed a purse with orchid embroidered in Chu Qingyuan’s sleeve.
Gu Yunjie’s eyes moved slightly, Chu Qingyuan understood, nodded slightly, and turned around and left. However, as soon as he walked to the hall gate, he was stopped by a young man in a brocade robe.
"Where is Mr. Shen going? The banquet is not over yet. "The man smiled, but there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
Chu Qingyuan looked as usual, and a perfect curve was curled up at the corner of her lips: “I am a little familiar with medical skills, and His Highness the Crown Prince has an appointment with me to take his pulse. It was really worrying to see His Highness coughing continuously during the meal. "
She paused and said sincerely:" It was too late after the banquet, so I was worried that I would disturb Your Highness’s rest. "
These words were silent, and the young master was speechless for a moment. Chu Qingyuan took advantage of the situation and said again: “This young master is also considering your highness’s health.” If the diagnosis and treatment are delayed, this responsibility…"
Her unfulfilled words made the other party’s color slightly change.
At this moment, Chu Qingyuan took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, and the dragon pattern was lifelike, which was the token of the prince.
At this critical moment, Your Majesty has a subtle attitude towards the prince, so they should not act rashly.
The young master’s pupils shrank slightly and he quickly made a move away: “It’s abrupt.” However, Mr. Shen first entered the palace and was not familiar with the path in the palace. Why would you please send someone to guide you? "
Chu Qingyuan knew that she would rude away and would make people suspicious, so she followed the situation and responded: " Then thank you for your kindness. "
In the hall, Gu Yunjie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chu Qingyuan escape successfully. He rubbed the wine glass in his hand, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
Outside the hall, Chu Qingyuan walked slowly with the eunuch who led the way.
She pretended to tidy up her sleeves and took out the purse and looked at it carefully. There were several orchids embroidered on the purse, with fine stitches, which were obviously from a woman’s hand. When you get closer and smell it carefully, there is a faint fragrance.
"What does Gu Yunjie mean? "
She was puzzled and gently rubbed the embroidered patterns on her purse with her fingertips.
While thinking, the eunuch leading the way suddenly stopped: Mr. Shen, there is the Eastern Palace ahead. "
Chu Qingyuan looked up and saw that the high palace wall looked particularly solemn in the night.
She calmly put her purse into her sleeve, and she had already thought about it. There are undercurrents in this deep palace. Today’s affairs are probably far from as simple as it seems. Fastest.
