Li Chunyue was hesitating what to say. To tell the truth, she went to the toilet?

Doesn’t this make it clear that you are seeking death?

Going to the toilet is not as important as serving the emperor. If he said this, I'm afraid Tuoba Ye would be waiting for a slap in the face when he comes back!

Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Che suddenly frowned: "That's all, how could I care where she went?"

He just wanted to see her suffer.

This woman who was so arrogant that she dared to burn Zhu Jiu's body and thought she could replace Zhu Jiu, Xuanyuan Che would never make her life too easy!

Li Chunyue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and saluted quickly: "I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he quickly ran away. How could he dare to stay next to the moody young emperor again?

He could finally see that since Tuoba Ye came to serve His Majesty, His Majesty's whole person has become more and more uncertain, and his every move is beyond the comprehension of subordinates like them who have been with him for many years.

If you want to save your life, you need to stay away from Tuoba Ye.

Palace entrance.

After chasing for a long time, Zhu Jiu finally saw the carriage that was about to leave the palace from a distance, but before it got close, a figure suddenly came from behind, carrying a strong murderous intention.

not good!

Zhu Jiu's eyes darkened, she quickly glanced sideways, and dodged. A dagger just scratched the spot where she was standing, leaving a mark on the wall.

A member of the Tuoba family?

Seeing the mark on the man in black, Zhu Jiu immediately recognized it.

"Second Miss, you are a scoundrel who killed the family leader and the entire Tuoba family! Following the family leader's orders, my subordinates will kill you at any cost!"

The man in black stared at her ruthlessly, and his eyes were very similar to those of the personal bodyguards serving beside Tuoba Zhen.

He struck quickly, and his assassination skills were as fierce as a poisonous snake. Fortunately, Zhu Jiu had experience in dealing with them, so he was not afraid of him. Instead, he sneered and looked at the other person: "Even if it costs your life?"

"Yes! Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely kill you!"

The other party was determined to kill, and Zhu Jiu had nothing to say to him, but he didn't expect that Tuoba Zhen, as Tuoba Ye's biological father, would drag her with him even to death.

It’s obvious that he hates her!

Zhu Jiu changed his moves and deliberately gave the man in black a chance to get closer to him. He took the opportunity to break the man's tendons and kill him with a single blow.

The movement here must not be hidden from Xuanyuan Che, so Zhu Jiu threw the body directly where it was, intending to disgust him.

She touched the man in black, and then exhaled in disappointment: "Hey, if you come to kill me, you can at least bring some money with you?"

Being penniless was even more embarrassing than her money.

At this moment, there was a sound of wheels coming from far away, and a huge shadow enveloped her. A seemingly gentle but actually playful voice floated from the carriage: "When did the second lady become so greedy for money?"

"Rong...Rong Taishi?"

Zhu Jiu's eyes moved slightly, he hid the dagger, turned around and said, "I never thought Grand Master Rong would turn back suddenly? But why do you want to see me?"

She thought that after dealing with the man in black, she would be unable to catch up with Ron Ruo, but unexpectedly, Ron Ruo coincidentally turned back, which gave her the opportunity to ask who killed the Yan envoy.

However, just now she was so anxious that she almost called Rong Ruo by her first name. Fortunately, she changed her words in time so that she didn't break the rules.

Now that she is a slave, the accusation of "not understanding dignity" can cost her her hard-won life.

At this moment, she could also understand how difficult it was for Xuanyuan Che to be a male favorite by her side.

Presumably he would have been more tolerant at that time than Zhu Jiu is now, right?

To take revenge, you need to be more tolerant than Xuanyuan Che! It doesn't matter if she takes away this pride for the time being.

Rong Ruo's long, dark eyes looked down at her through the curtain, as if she had seen through something. She slightly curled her lips and said, "After being in the cold prison once, the second lady seems to be much more tactful."

It seems that she is not Zhu Jiu.

How could a proud person like Zhu Jiu be satisfied with this kind of life of being dependent on others? How could she resist Xuanyuan Che humiliating her every day?

"People are subject to change." Zhu Jiu was not angry when he was ridiculed by him about the cold prison. Instead, he asked patiently: "If Grand Master Rong is not in a hurry, can you help me clear up my doubts?"

Before Rong Ruo spoke, the boy beside him became anxious and immediately scolded Zhu Jiu: "My master is willing to talk to you because he respects you, so don't push yourself too far!"

"It doesn't matter." Rong Ruo glanced at her and said calmly: "It seems that Miss Tuoba owes me another favor?"

In the court, who knows that he is a cunning fox? No one dares to negotiate terms with him, because the person he negotiates with will be eaten up by him in the end.

The last time she helped Tuoba Ye was just on a whim, this time she took the initiative and rushed to ask for help. Inexplicably, she let Rongruo gently touch the wound on her forehead, and a trace of amusement flashed in her eyes.

He was vaguely looking forward to it, feeling like he was holding Tuoba Ye who had changed his temper in his hands.

Zhu Jiu had no consciousness of being targeted as a prey. At the moment, she only cared about who killed the Yan envoy, and asked truthfully: "Does Grand Master Rong know who killed the Yan envoy?"

If it was Xuanyuan Che who did it, Luo Zheng would not go to Changle Hall to remind him of this matter.

But Tuoba Ye also noticed from eavesdropping outside the door earlier that Xuanyuan Che had no intention of getting involved.

As powerful as he is, he doesn't shy away from how he is judged in history books.

After hearing this, Rong Ruo not only did not say who killed the Yan envoy, but instead chuckled: "Judging from the current situation of the second lady, what qualifications do you have to spend money and money on these matters?"

"No matter who killed the envoy of Yan State, Your Majesty will never sit idly by and watch." After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "Second Miss, remember, you owe me another favor."

Seeing this, the book boy quickly asked the coachman to prepare the carriage and leave the palace.

Only Zhu Jiu stayed where he was, standing motionless and repeating these two sentences softly. After a moment, he suddenly turned around and returned to Changle Hall with slightly narrowed eyes.

Rongruo, this old fox, really didn't leave any clues in what he said. It seemed like he didn't tell her anything, but in fact he was reminding her that the murderer was from the imperial court.

Naturally, only Xuanyuan Che can deal with people in the imperial court.

but……

After walking two steps, Zhu Jiu stopped, looked back at the already empty palace entrance, and sighed in his heart: This question is another favor owed to Rongruo.

Although I don't know why Rong Ruo was more tolerant towards her, it must be that she had some use value for Rong Ruo to associate with her.

Although this favor is worthless in the eyes of outsiders!

Outside the palace.

The carriage drove slowly towards the Taishi's Mansion. It was a bit cold. When the book boy came in to make tea for Rongruo, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Sir, that Tuoba Ye is always pestering you, is he still obsessed with you?

Right? Maybe she is deliberately pretending to be not interested in you, but in fact she is playing hard to get!"
