Chapter 21 You plot against me
They both turned their heads at the same time and saw a palace maid turn around and disappear on the spot.
Seeing this, Chu Hengzhi let go of Hua Shu and wanted to chase after her, but Hua Shu grabbed his wrist.
Chu Hengzhi frowned and looked at her in confusion: "Aren't you afraid that she will tell others what she saw today?"
Hua Shu took back her hand, stretched out her fingers to curl up a strand of hair, and smiled mysteriously: "I'm afraid she won't dare to tell anyone."
Chu Hengzhi's puzzlement deepened, and he said in a deep voice: "You know, if that person knew that I appeared in your room, you and I would definitely die."
Hua Shu looked at him and smiled indifferently: "If you die, then die. Anyway, I won't lose anything if you are buried with me."
"Mad man." Chu Hengzhi cursed, turned around and chased after him on tiptoe.
Looking at his back, the smile on Hua Shu's face disappeared instantly.
Thinking of how he mentioned Ah Xuan again and again today, her eyes turned cold. It seemed that she had made the right move today.
For someone as difficult to control as Chu Hengzhi, one can only feel at ease if one ties his life to one's own.
At this time, Caiyue walked in quickly, her face a little pale: "Miss, you know that Qiuxue is the queen's person, but you let me tell her that there is a man in your room. Aren't you afraid that she will tell the queen?"
Hua Shu looked at the direction Chu Hengzhi left, with a playful smile on her lips.
"I just want the Queen to know that Chu Hengzhi has a relationship with me."
Caiyue showed a puzzled look on her face: "Miss, I don't understand why you do this."
Hua Shu smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, every step I take is carefully considered."
Caiyue still didn't understand, but after hearing what her young lady said, she didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, Chu Hengzhi came back. He looked very unhappy. That man turned out to be the Queen's man. Now that she had gone to Chonghua Palace, she must have told the Queen about what she saw him doing here today.
Thinking of this, Chu Hengzhi's face became even gloomier. If Hua Shu hadn't stopped him, he would have killed that person...
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through his mind, that is, Hua Shu knew from the beginning that the palace maid was the queen's woman, and she deliberately let that person see herself in her room.
Thinking that Rendong and Xiao Shengzi were not in the courtyard tonight, and even Hua Shu's personal maid was not guarding the courtyard, he became even more certain that what happened tonight was done intentionally by Hua Shu.
When Hua Shu saw him coming back, she raised the wine glass in her hand towards him and said with a smile, "Your Highness, are you interested in having a drink?"
Chu Hengzhi's voice was so cold that it made people shudder: "You plotted against me."
"Your Highness, we are in the same boat. How could I plot against you?" Hua Shu looked at him innocently.
Chu Hengzhi looked at her, his eyes dark and unclear: "Why do you want to let the queen know that I have a relationship with you."
Hua Shu picked up the wine glass and walked up to him, handing the wine she had drunk to his lips with a bewitching smile on her lips.
"Your Highness, I have always been suspicious by nature. I still feel at ease only if our lives are tied together."
Chu Hengzhi's eyes narrowed dangerously. She wanted to push what happened today onto herself and make the Queen and the others think that she was the one who asked her to do this.
It was really a good plan to make me her shield.
Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Hua Shu stretched out her fingers and drew circles on his chest, and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, don't be angry. At worst, I can let you punish me to vent your anger."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Hengzhi snatched the wine glass from her hand and drank it all. Then he raised his hand to extinguish the candle on the table, picked her up and walked to the bed.
Hua Shu laughed so hard in his arms that her body shook with laughter: "So His Highness likes to punish people this way."
Chu Hengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better not beg for mercy."
As soon as the words were spoken, the bed curtains fell and joyful sounds rang out in the room.
……
Chonghua Palace.
Empress Liu looked at Qiu Xue who was kneeling in front of her with a gloomy expression: "Did you really see that the man in Lady Hua's room was the Fourth Prince Chu Hengzhi?!"
Qiu Xue nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes the Fourth Prince and Lady Hua hugging each other, and just now the Fourth Prince chased after them. If I hadn't entered Chonghua Palace first, I'm afraid they would have been beheaded."
Hearing this, Empress Liu's eyes turned cold. She instantly thought of what happened today. No wonder Chu Hengzhi would plead for her today. It turned out that he was the one who planned this for a long time.
But soon her brows furrowed again. Hua Huaiyuan had been secretly supporting the prince, and the purpose of sending Hua Shu to the palace was to help the prince ascend to the throne. Why would she be involved with Chu Hengzhi?
Could it be that... Hua Huaiyuan is using the name of the crown prince to secretly help Chu Hengzhi?
Thinking of what Yipin had said before, that she suspected Hua Shu had rescued Chu Hengzhi, Empress Liu's face darkened. She asked coldly, "Did you hear clearly what they said?"
Qiu Xue shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I was just about to get closer to listen to what they were saying, but the door suddenly opened. I didn't have time to think about it and had to leave first."
Empress Liu nodded, thought for a moment and asked again: "Has Chu Hengzhi appeared in the past few days?"
Qiu Xue thought about it seriously, and shook her head, saying, "I am incompetent. The emperor has been resting in Xiaoyue Pavilion for a few days. It was Caiyue who was beside Lady Hua, and the newcomers Rendong and Xiao Shengzi who served him personally. I was unable to go in and serve him."
Empress Liu nodded and fell into deep thought. It seemed that she had to let the Crown Prince test Hua Huaiyuan. If today's incident was indeed related to the Hua family, then the Hua family must be eliminated as soon as possible. They must not be allowed to become Chu Hengzhi's helpers.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qiu Xue hesitated for a moment and said, "My queen, do you want someone to lead the emperor to Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Empress Liu shook her head: "Chu Hengzhi is not a fool. Since you have discovered everything, he must have left the palace. It would be useless to lead the emperor there now. Maybe it would backfire and keep the emperor in Xiaoyuexuan to help her win favor."
When Qiu Xue heard this, she felt that this was true. If Chu Hengzhi still stayed in Xiaoyuexuan after being discovered, then he would really be tired of living.
Suddenly, Qiu Xue thought of something, and she said, "My Lady, do I still need to go back to Xiaoyuexuan?"
Empress Liu shook her head and said, "I think they already know that you are my person. It's useless for you to go back now. You should change your identity and stay in Chonghua Palace."
"Yes." Qiu Xue breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't want to go back. After all, the Fourth Prince already knew her identity. If she went back, they would never let her go, and she would have no way out.
Empress Liu pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiu Xue and said, "Go call Concubine Yi and tell her that I have something to tell her."
Qiu Xue retreated in response. About half an incense stick later, Yipin and Qiu Xue entered Chonghua Palace together.
"Your concubine pays homage to Her Majesty the Empress." Concubine Yi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Empress Liu.
Empress Liu nodded and said, "Get up."
Yipin stood up, looked at her and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you ask me to come here at this time? What happened?"
Empress Liu nodded and briefly told Qiu Xue what she had said. Then she said, "I want you to do something."
Concubine Yi put away the surprise on her face and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give me your orders."
Empress Liu stood up and walked to her side, speaking to her in a low voice.
After hearing this, Concubine Yi was stunned. She looked at Empress Liu in disbelief. For a moment, she thought the Empress had gone crazy.
