Chapter 1403: The Queen (26)

Just when Rong Shi's heart was about to burst, the waiter came to serve the food.

Chuzheng didn't talk much while eating and ate quietly.

The girl is sitting with her backlit, and every movement she makes seems to be filled with light, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"General Rong, do you think I can have enough?"

Chuzheng raised her hand and waved it in front of him.

Rong Ji came back to his senses, he had just noticed...

Chuzheng nodded on the table with a warning: "Eat well."

Just eat when you eat.

Look what she does!

Rong Ji lowered his head to eat, and Chu Zheng picked up some vegetables and put them in his bowl.

Rong Ji paused for a moment and didn't refuse, but he couldn't taste the food at all.

Chuzheng didn't waste much time and went back the same day.

Chuzheng was not walking fast when going up the mountain, and Rong Shi followed behind.

Chuzheng stepped back and held Rong Shi's hand hanging by her side.

"Queen Mother?" Rong Ji was frightened and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand. .

"no one."

"..."

Is this a question of whether there is anyone?

"Queen Mother, please let me go."

"I won't."

Chuzheng dragged him up.

This section of the road was not easy to walk on, so Rong Ji really didn't dare to fight with her.

Rong Ji's eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them, and his eyes deepened.

After a long while, he slowly tightened his fingers.

Chuzheng looked back at him, but Rongji looked away and looked away. The tips of his ears suddenly turned red and burned.

Chuzheng suddenly looked at the forest next to her.

Rong Ji also noticed something.

Almost at the same time, several arrows shot out from the forest.

Rong Ji's pupils shrank, and he pulled Chu Zheng towards him, holding her to avoid the arrows.

"run."

Rong Ji pushed Chu Zheng away, drew his sword, and knocked away the arrow.

Chuzheng stood still, and the silver thread protruded from her wrist and rushed towards the mountain forest.

"ah--"

Panic screams came from the mountain forest.

The number of arrows shot decreased significantly.

Rong Ji took a few steps into the forest and the sound of fighting could be heard, but it only lasted for a moment and soon died down.

Chuzheng stepped on dead branches into the forest.

Rong Ji was looking for something on a corpse.

"who?"

To be able to ambush here.

There are not many guards patrolling this trail, but there are not many.

They had to stop and go when going up the mountain to avoid the guards.

"I don't know." Rong Ji didn't find anything. He stood up and pulled Chu Zheng away: "Leave first. The patrolling guards will come over and check if they hear the sound."

"Did someone run away?"

"……Um."

One ran away.

"Who wants to kill you??"

"Queen Mother, there are many people who want to kill Wei Chen." Rong Ji seemed to find Chu Zheng's question a bit funny: "Wei Chen killed many people on the battlefield."

When he returned to the imperial city, he was assassinated several times.

They are all here to seek revenge.

but……

Rong Ji didn't say anything else. He pulled Chu Zheng and walked faster.

Rong Ji sent Chu Zheng to the palace and left quickly.

The Praetorian Guards found those men and would soon come for him.

the other side.

The regent looked at the person kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression: "Say it again."

"My subordinates... my subordinates saw the Queen Mother and General Rong behaving affectionately..."

Before the next words could be uttered, the Prince Regent grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it.

The freshly brewed tea and scalding hot water hit the man's face, causing him to turn red instantly, which was very scary.

But the man didn't move.

"What a good Nie Chuzheng!"

The regent clenched his fists, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and his eyes were filled with a sinister cold light.

He actually dared to hook up with Rong Ji.

The Prince Regent waved the man down.

He walked back and forth in the room.

In the end, I didn't know what to think of, but he pulled the corners of his mouth into a sinister smile.

The discovery of the body of an unknown person in the palace led to the entire palace being placed under martial law, and the number of patrolling guards increased significantly.

Fortunately, there were no accidents later and everything was normal.

Rong Ji asked Ting Ying to send some things to Chu Zheng.

It's not a rare thing, just some food or weird gadgets.

"Your Majesty, where did you get these things?"

Suxue looked at the extra things in confusion.

It wasn't there when I packed it up yesterday.

"bought."

Chuzheng said nonchalantly.

"Don't move, just leave it there."

"..." Suxue did not pack those things, but tidied the table next to her: "Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days, and there will be a palace banquet then."

Chuzheng responded lazily.

Seeing her like this, Suxue didn't continue.

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is a rule and must be held every year.

As the Queen Mother, Chuzheng had to take care of many aspects.

It’s really difficult for the Queen Mother.

On the day of the palace banquet.

Chuzheng was dressed up and took a seat next to the little emperor, with Concubine Xuan on the other side.

Chu Zheng didn't see Rong Shi.

The regent was in his position, talking to the minister next to him.

During the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the ministers in the palace could not go home, so the little emperor did not have so many rules and allowed everyone to do whatever they wanted.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Singing and dancing on silk and bamboo, the sound is heard.

"Mother, I would like to offer you a glass of wine." Concubine Xuan stood in front of Chu Zheng with a smile on her face: "For what happened before, I am young and ignorant, so please forgive me, my mother."

Ouch.

What trick are you trying to follow?

Chuzheng was suspicious in her heart, but she still picked up the wine glass.

Concubine Xuan didn't do anything wrong and went back after toasting.

Chuzheng: "..."

In the middle of the palace banquet, Concubine Xuan suddenly stood up and said she was not feeling well, so she left first.

Not long after Concubine Xuan left, someone came to report that Concubine Xuan accidentally fell down the steps outside.

"Falled to death?"

"..."

The palace maid and Suxue who reported the report were frightened at the same time.

Is this what you, the Queen Mother, can say?

After thinking about it, Chuzheng told the little emperor and left with the others.

The palace maid led Chu Zheng and walked in front. After leaving the main hall where the sound of strings and bamboos was constantly heard, the surroundings seemed much quieter.

"This is not the way back to Concubine Xuan's bedroom. Where are you taking me?"

When the maid heard Chu Zheng's question, her steps froze. The next second, the maid ran forward quickly and disappeared into the darkness.

"Eh!"

Suxue screamed in shock.

what happened?

At this moment, several eunuchs appeared from behind.

They quickly rushed up and tried to cover Chu Zheng and Suxue's mouths and noses.

"What are you doing..."

Suxue was just a little girl. She didn't put up much resistance, but she was caught in the blink of an eye. She fainted before she even screamed.

Chu Zheng is not that easy to deal with.

Several eunuchs surrounded Chu Zheng, but failed to succeed for a long time.

In the end, I paid for it myself.
