Chapter 41
Hu Cairen also stopped next to Xu Anan and looked at the koi carps playing at the bottom of the pond with her.
Fu Ling, Qu'er and Zhishu stood not far from the two of them.
Xu Anan got a steamed bun from somewhere. She took a bite, threw some into the pond and watched the fish in the pond fight for it.
"Sister Hu, come to Ziwei Hall in the afternoon and let's make hot pot."
Hu Cairen naturally had no objection and said with a smile: "I will listen to Sister Ming Fei in everything."
"Why don't you go back to Jade Palace first? I have to solve some things here."
Hu Cairen shook his head: "Just stay here, I might be able to help my sister."
There was a sound coming from a distance. Xu Anan shook the steamed bun in his hand and threw it somewhere. The steamed bun was soaked in water and quickly sank.
"Empress, Concubine Ming is in front."
Cen Xingluo kept walking, with a arrogant look on his face: "She is here, why am I still afraid of her?"
Rouju didn't say anything. Cen Xingluo wanted to ignore Xu Anan and cross the bridge, but she stopped her. She was like a cat with furry hair: "What do you want to do by stopping me?"
Xu Anan looked at her with a smile: "Nothing else." But his eyes fell on Rou Ju: "I just have something to ask your eldest maid, Rou Ju."
Cen Xingluo frowned, her eyes flashed slightly, and she roughly understood what was wrong with her. Although Xu Anan was backed by the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, she knew the inside story, and Marquis Xu didn't care about her at all.
Even if something happens outside, as long as Xu Anan is alive, there won't be much fuss. Her Cen family is not afraid of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, and she is not afraid of Xu Anan either.
Rouju was panicked for a moment when she was called, but when she saw Cen Xingluo's reassuring eyes, her anxious heart immediately relaxed.
Her imperial concubine said that she didn’t need to be afraid of anyone in the palace, especially Xu Anan. She didn’t need to target her specifically, but she could target the people in her palace. Yesterday she lost the beggar’s chicken of the third-class palace maid. She didn’t expect that.
You bitch really went to complain.
Xu Anan looked at Rouju: "Were you the one who made fun of me yesterday?"
Hearing this, Rouju stood up with neither humility nor arrogance: "That little palace maid really doesn't know etiquette. I just taught her a lesson on behalf of Concubine Ming, so that she can remember it."
Xu Anan raised her eyebrows, and Qu'er suppressed her face until she blushed, but she was stupid and didn't know how to refute Rouju.
Cen Xingluo raised his head with disdain in his eyes: "If you can't teach the people in your own palace, why don't you allow others to discipline you?"
Xu Anan chuckled: "Yesterday, the palace asked Qu'er to deliver a beggar's chicken to Sister Hu. Not only did your eldest maid tease Qu'er, she also threw the palace's beggar's chicken into the pond."
Rouju immediately retorted: "I hope that Concubine Ming will understand clearly. It's obviously Qu'er who fell into the pool because he was not sure. It has nothing to do with this slave."
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you who threw it away, you threw it away!"
Qu'er's eyes were red as she refuted Rouju's words, but her words were pale, and her voice became smaller and smaller under Rouju's disdainful gaze.
Cen Xingluo snorted coldly: "Xu An'an, did you hear that? My maids have already told her that it has nothing to do with her, but they still won't get out of the way. Let me pass."
Xu An'an raised her head and caught a glimpse of Su Liangyuan coming slowly from a distance. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a cold voice: "I'm not here to reason with you. Since I'm a beggar chicken because of
If she throws it away, she has to be responsible for getting the beggar chicken back."
Before Cen Xingluo could react, Xu Anan took Rouju by the collar with one hand and pushed her into the pool.
The moment the man fell, Lao Gao was splashed with water, and the carps in the pond swam away. Xu Anan clapped his hands and looked at the bottom of the pond with great satisfaction.
Cen Xingluo was so shocked that she could stuff eggs into her mouth. Was she blind? She saw Xu Anan throw someone into the pool with one hand.
What kind of monster is she? She is so powerful!
She moved a few steps back, a little afraid that Xu An'an would pick her up next. She pointed at Xu An'an with a trembling hand: "You, you... don't be too presumptuous. If you dare to hurt me, my aunt will not let you go."
It’s yours.”
Xu Anan didn't pay attention to such non-threatening words at all, and her eyes fell on Su Liangyuan.
Su Liangyuan, who wanted to take a detour, hesitated for a while, then walked forward. She bowed slightly and said, "Concubine Shu, Concubine Ming."
Xu Anan looked at her with a smile: "Su Liangyuan doesn't need to be polite."
She didn't want to get involved in the matter between Cen Xingluo and Xu Anan, but she couldn't leave for a while, so she had to stand here with them.
Su Liangyuan looked at the pool and heard a gurgling sound. Rouju swam up from the pool. She swam frantically to the shore and collapsed on the ground exhausted. She couldn't help but scream: "Down below, below."
…”
"There are all corpses down there, all dead people..."
"Don't catch me, don't catch me."
She held her head and backed away crazily, her expression a bit crazy.
Cen Xingluo's face turned pale when she heard this, and she looked at the turbid pool with some disbelief. After Rouju stirred it up, she seemed to see a layer of blood foam floating in the pool.
"vomit."
Cen Xingluo couldn't help but retched. She was really right. The pool below suddenly turned blood red. Hu Cairen had never experienced such a thing. She didn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a dead person.
Su Liangyuan's face was also pale. She looked at Xu An'an and her lips twitched slightly: "Concubine Ming, inside here..."
Xu Anan narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Fu Ling who was also scared and said, "The emperor invited him here early in the morning, saying that I had something urgent to do to see him."
"promise."
Fuling hurriedly left the place. Cen Xingluo wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, his pupils trembled: "What are the things down here, why haven't I seen them before?"
Xu Anan shrugged innocently: "How do I know? Maybe there were people buried down here long ago. This is thanks to Rouju who took a risk and accidentally broke through the mechanism inside. Do you think I am right?
"
Cen Xingluo's expression was hard to describe. The pool was still gurgling, as if all the corpses would float up in the next second.
She held on to the stone pillar, but it didn't work, she still wanted to vomit.
"Why is this so lively?"
A pretty woman's voice came from behind. Hu Cairen immediately turned around and saw the person coming. She said respectfully: "I see you, Your Highness, the eldest princess."
Several people standing on the bridge turned around and saw that it was Cheng Qingqiu who came. She was wearing pure and beautiful goose-yellow clothes. Her facial features were somewhat similar to those of Cheng Huai, but compared with the ice cube, Cheng Qingqiu was much more beautiful.
.
Cheng Qingqiu looked at Hu Cairen now as if he were a treasure, her eyes were bright. She took Hu Cairen's hand and said hurriedly: "No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite."
