Chapter 255 (2/2)

Chu Zongge wandered in the palace for a long time. Suddenly, he felt that the blue sky was slowly covered by dark clouds, the clear light was collected, and the scene in front of him became blurred when a few drops of rain fell on his eyelashes.

There was no choice but to borrow a pavilion to shelter from the rain. He ran and stopped all the way. Half of his white robes were wet. Finally, he found a small pavilion, which was being built by the lake, like a big umbrella waiting for passers-by in the rain.

He remembered that when he first came to the state of Qi, he was almost plotted by the killer hidden at the bottom of the lake. Fortunately, he had excellent martial arts. He was able to return to Xue ronghua safely because an enemy failed to let the murderer succeed.

It seems that there are people standing in the pavilion. When Chu Zongge went in, he saw a woman in honey colored palace clothes. He looked laxly at the vast lake in the distance. For a moment, he didn't find anyone else entering the pavilion.

Chu Zongge didn't want to lose the number of rites, so he made a ceremony, ”the minister is the envoy of the state of Qin. I'll pay a visit to my mother.”

The woman was stunned and turned to look at him with bright eyes. ”Are you from the state of Qin?”

Chu Zongge smiled, ”which palace master is your mother?”

Shen lvxiu looked at his familiar side face and suddenly remembered that he had changed his face with Huang Ling. He hurriedly said, ”I'm a talented person in Shuyu hall.”

Chu Zong sang a song. It was really God's intention. He didn't see the talented person in the palace for half a day. For a moment, he came to the small pavilion beside the lake to take shelter from the rain and met him, ”it's a talented person. The minister sends greetings to the talented person.”

Shen lvxiu's eyes became deeper and deeper, and a smile rippled on his lips. ”Duanwang doesn't have to be polite. I'm just a little talent.”

Chu Zongge stared at her, ”how can the empress know that the minister is Duanwang?”

Shen lvxiu almost bit his tongue and hurriedly explained, ”I heard that the female official in the German imperial concubine palace is the prospective Princess of Duanwang, so I paid more attention. I speculated that it was Duanwang. I didn't expect it to be true.”

”My mother is smart,” Chu Zongge looked at her clean clothes. ”Is my mother playing by the lake?”

”Yes, the emperor has been busy in his study these days. I went out for a stroll when I had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, it began to rain.” Shen lvxiu raised his eyes and saw half of his wet body. He took out a handkerchief and gave it to him. ”Wipe the king. Be careful of the wind and cold.”

Chu Zongge took the handkerchief embroidered with orchids, ”thank you for your consideration.”

”It doesn't matter,” Shen lvxiu smiled. ”Aunt ronghua once helped me, which is a little return.”

Chu Zongge saw that there was a melancholy color between her eyebrows and eyes, and thought of the death of Shen Jieyu, the palace master of Shuyu hall. He comforted her with a soft language: ”is your mother still sad about the death of Jieyu?”

Shen lvxiu's eyelids beat a few times and said, ”the man is dead. I have no way but to spend it with the help of things.”

”It's best for my mother to see it,” Chu Zongge curved his lips. ”Can you know how Jieyu died?”

Shen lvxiu said in some embarrassment: ”Jieyu, she... In fact, I don't understand what's going on. She suddenly lost her life, just like she lost her soul.”

The answer was ambiguous. Chu Zongge looked at her face and seemed to hide something, ”did the imperial doctor check the cause of her death?”

Shen lvxiu was brewing a reason in his heart. The king seemed to be hard to send, ”the imperial doctor said she had taken the wrong poison.”

”The poison can also be eaten wrong. Didn't the emperor trace how he ate wrong?”

Shen lvxiu shook his head and said in a deep voice, ”the emperor doesn't care about Jieyu so much. After the imperial doctor checked the body, there was no follow-up, so I don't know some places. It's better to ask the emperor.”

He didn't dare to ask Meng Qianzhong. He would definitely doubt whether he wanted to inquire into the secrets of the state of Qi. Chu Zongge raised his lips and said with a smile, ”I once had a face with Shen Jieyu, that is, I regretted my poor life. I just asked one or two questions. These are the emperor's family affairs. I don't dare to intervene easily.”

Shen lvxiu nodded slightly and said, ”it's difficult for Duan Wang to come to the state of Qi for the first time. It's so related to Shen Jieyu. I will put a column of incense for Duan Wang in front of Jieyu's spirit to let Jieyu know Duan Wang's mind.”

Chu Zongge was embarrassed to scratch the back of his head and said with a smile, ”thank you for your kindness.”

Shen lvxiu reached out to pick up a few drops of rain and said with a soft smile, ”Duanwang seems to be very interested in Jieyu.”

Chu Zongge was stunned. He felt that he was indeed a little abrupt, which made people suspicious. ”I only asked a few questions because Jieyu had some friendship with the princess to be. My mother thought more.”

Shen lvxiu's eyes are misty rain, ”that may be I think too much.”
