  (Subscribe)

  Two palace maids carried Chu Ke'er into the eastern warm pavilion and laid her on the couch, one of them said "This is how many times she has fainted from drunkenness?"

  "Thirdly, the banquet has just begun." said another.

  The one in front just sneered at these people, and after much effort, he also wanted to stay behind.

  "Whatever, as long as the Emperor is pleased, anyone will do..."

  The two of them chatted and walked out of the East Warm Pavilion, returning to the main hall.

  As soon as they left, a figure flashed in like a flying shadow and then closed the temple door...

  ……

  Chu Yun Ting on this side, coldly smiled and drank another cup of horse milk wine.

  These few months, although she was locked up, she spent every day smiling because Chu Yunqing, who stabbed her in the back, also didn't have a good ending. The marriage with the Duke's household was called off and her reputation was ruined, this is what happens when you fight with her

  However, she did not expect that Zhu Yuxu would come to find her and ask for her help. At that time, she hated him so much, but Zhu Yuxu was even more hateful towards Chu Yunqing. He said that as long as she helped him sabotage this marriage, he would marry her.

  Chu Yun Ting no longer believed, of course didn't believe but still joined hands to pull out the thorn in her eye, Chu Yun Qing. At that time, Zhu Yu Zuo racked his brains and exhausted his mind, even humbled himself to ask for help, all for whom.

  No, it's all for Chu Xue, he wants to marry, still is Chu Xue. Until now, Zhu Yuxu's heart is thinking of, still is Chu Xue, wholeheartedly wanting to marry, still is Chu Xue.

  Chu Yunting didn't reveal herself in front of Zhu Yuxu, and during the few months she was locked up, she behaved well and didn't do anything out of line. She was conserving her energy for the future, because the person she would have to deal with next would be Chu Keqi.

  She, Chu Yun Ting, was determined to do it just for the sake of it, neither for remarrying Zhu Yu Xuan nor for competing with her.

  From now on, whatever Chu Xiang wants to do, she can't let her succeed. Whoever she wants to marry, she will sabotage it.

  The old lady forced her to enter the palace, okay, entering the palace is just entering the palace, but Chu Ke also wants to go with her and be by her side forever, making her feel uncomfortable and uneasy for the rest of her life.

  Chu Yun Ting fiercely drank another cup.

  Today's scene, she had racked her brains for several months, Chu Keqi was also clever, too clever to easily frame her, this had already happened in the Duke's mansion.

  Moreover, Chu Yunting has already figured it out these days. Once she enters the palace, that's a place of blood and gore. The petty squabbles in the mansion with small noses and eyes will probably only get her beaten to death here. Probably just one move from someone else, and she'll never be able to turn over again.

  So she has to be ruthless, this is what she learned from Zhu Yingtai, being heartless.

  The first step in making a ruthless decision is to pull Chu Ke'er along with me, and the two of us will fight it out together in this palace.

  She sneered...

  ……

  Zhu Yuchen had entered the palace long ago.

  His father, the Duke of Teck, was in the eyes of outsiders an unregarded and unnoticed member of the royal family, and also the only one of the princes born to a princess, which was indeed the case. His father had never been called Duke during his lifetime until he was about to die, when someone mentioned it, and after his death, the title of Duke came down formally.

  And he was born of Ce Fei.

  Among a group of dazzling golden relatives, he was always ridiculed and left out, just like his father.

  But that's just on the surface. Behind the scenes... behind the scenes, his father was the only nephew of the old emperor and also a maternal cousin who grew up playing with the current emperor since childhood.

  The father has some aspects that are similar to the current emperor, playing with the world without respect, and gaming among people. At that time, in order not to be bound by ancestral rules in one place, the father even asked the emperor, must not be enfeoffed as a king, if really want to be enfeoffed, then do it after death. The two personalities are imagined, thus having an unusual friendship with outsiders.

  Because of such a father, he was able to follow him to the frontier battlefield and gain experience. He could also not be like ordinary royalty, only staying in their fiefdoms, without the emperor's sacred decree they were not allowed to leave their fiefdom half a step, let alone enter Beijing City.

  He even had a forbidden guard waist card left by his father, which could enter the palace at any time.

  After entering the palace, he stood guard at the entrance of Kunning Palace. When Chuyi went in, he saw her. As a result, when she was supported out, he stared at her too.

  The eunuch left, he hastily slipped in, closed the door tightly, and rushed to the bed to see Chu Kei.

  She was completely normal, breathing slowly, her face wasn't red, and there were no other symptoms. It was as if she had simply fallen asleep. But no matter how hard Zhu Yuchen called out to her or shook her, she wouldn't wake up.

  He was a bit anxious, leaned in and sniffed, with a faint scent of alcohol, so faint that it was almost imperceptible. Had he gotten drunk? Maybe he couldn't drink normally, so he got drunk after just one sip? He wondered, hastily pulling out a small bottle from his pocket, which contained Lingzhi water, an excellent hangover remedy.

  Zhu Yuchen entered the palace with some preparation, and there were some tricks in the palace that he was also prepared for, and had prepared some emergency measures.

  He sat on the edge of the couch, bent down and hugged Chu Ke's upper body into his arms, used his teeth to open the bottle cap, took a sip first, then leaned down and poured water into her mouth, some inevitably spilled out, Zhu Yuxuan hurriedly wiped it away, drank the rest into his mouth, and then leaned down again to pour it into her mouth.

  He put her down, Zhu Yuchen stood up and went to the window to take a look. There were many busy palace maids and eunuchs in the direction of the main hall. The banquet should still be going on, and there was no one around for the time being. He hugged Chu Ke into his arms, gently shaking her and calling out "Ke, Ke?"

  Chu Kei's eyes seemed to be awake but not awake, dazed and confused.

  He continued shaking her, determined to wake her up. Staying here was very dangerous, but carrying or backing her out would be even more perilous if they were seen.

  After a long time, Chu Ke'er slowly woke up with a dazed expression, just like waking up from a drunken sleep. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her face was bitter. As soon as she opened her mouth to moan, Zhu Yuexun quickly covered it with his hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound, this isn't home."

  Chu Xue was gagged, then her drunken eyes finally widened, she took a deep breath and stared at him, before suddenly remembering something.

  "Remember? Don't make a sound," Zhu Yichen said softly.

  Chu Kei hastily nodded her head, and the hand covering her mouth also moved slightly before releasing her.

  Chu Xue asked immediately, "Where is this?" I just... She subconsciously looked at her collar.

  "It's all right, I saw two palace maids bringing you in, and then they came in..." Zhu Yichen hastily comforted her.

  Chu Ke exclaimed in surprise, "I was drunk by Chu Yunting!"

  "I'm fine now... Let's leave this place first, it's crowded and a bit dangerous." Zhu Yutong loosened his grip on her.

  Chu Xue was helped up by him and lightly moved her feet, nodding that she could walk... "Where to?"

  "At this time, can't swagger out of the palace gate, can only go to the garden behind first, find a way out from there... leave here first." Zhu Yilin is not very familiar with this place either, this is Kun Ning Palace, he may be familiar

  Chu Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Where can I go? There is a corner door that hasn't been closed..."

  Just then, a sudden noise came from outside, startling both of them. Zhu Yichen quickly pulled her towards the door and they hid behind it to listen for a while. The footsteps were still in the distance. He stuck his head out through the gap between the doors and looked outside. It was already very dark outside, with groups of eunuchs and palace maids coming out from the grand hall. He said that it might be ending soon, as many eunuchs and palace maids had come out...

  "We must leave here immediately" Chu Ke said hastily, after a while, Chu Yunting and Lan Qixian wanted to paint, Xiweng Pavilion and Bishage Pavilion were all crowded.

  "Zhu Yi Zhen said: 'I'll open the door for you, go out with your head held high and don't look back, just walk along the corridor'"

  Chu Kei hastily nodded and then asked anxiously, "What?"

  "Don't worry, I'm right behind you."

  Zhu Yichan looked outside and saw that they were already leaving. He couldn't delay any longer, so he opened the door and whispered "Hurry up".

  Chu Kei hastily walked out with her head hung low, immediately turning left as soon as she exited the door. Holding her breath, she followed along the eaves to the end, descended the stairs and exited through the corner gate, then continued on to the corridor, where she finally let out a sigh of relief.

  However, she didn't dare to turn her head back or look around, because there were many eunuchs and palace maids walking back and forth nearby. Perhaps because the banquet on the other side of the grand hall had dispersed, no one came forward to interrogate her, and everyone was busy with hurried footsteps.

  But just as they had walked for a while, Chu Ke's feet suddenly stopped moving.

  At the end of the corridor, there was a large vermilion gate, on which a bright lantern had already been hung. Under the light of the lantern, the gate was guarded by palace guards wearing dark uniforms. She even saw one of the imperial guards wearing a flying fish robe and carrying an embroidered spring knife at his waist.

  Chu Xue stayed her steps, not daring to move forward, for it was very likely that she would be questioned. This is what they called a guilty conscience. If it were just her, without any other way out, she might have taken the risk and tried her luck. But now, with Zhu Yi Chen following behind her, she didn't want to take the risk and thought of discussing it with him first.

  Chu Xue Man slowly turned around, looked back, and saw Zhu Yi Chen following her at a distance. When she stopped, he also stopped, his eyebrows furrowed in anxiety as he stared at her. The two couldn't just stand there like that.

  Chu Kei stepped down from the corridor and entered a side courtyard, which was called Jiangxue Xuan. In front of it was the Imperial Flower Garden, actually a place to rest after strolling around the Imperial Flower Garden.

  She walked straight in, hearing the sound of people from next door, she quickly dodged into the inner room. The person next door seemed to be a eunuch, Chu Ke looked at the shadow of the person at the door and flashed, Zhu Yi also came in, and hurriedly squatted behind the screen like her.

  It is by.
