Chapter 369: Grasshopper on a Rope
Chapter 369: Grasshopper on a Rope
"There are only so many people outside the Great Wall. Are they all old subordinates?"
Yan Chu sneered.
When Jing'an died, his old subordinates were wiped out, and it can be said that there were only a few who escaped the net from the people who kidnapped Hanshan last time.
It has been dealt with by Yan Chu.
What about this time?
Will their old subordinates always be there?
"emperor?"
It's over. Yan Chu really suspected that there was someone else.
So this time, what they said about asking Hanshan to kowtow and apologize and repent, was it really just a setup?
The Queen Mother...has joined the game?
"Do you remember you told me that Marquis Su had evil intentions?"
But Yan Chu should not have doubted her, and he did not seem to hide anything when he spoke to her.
"remember."
she said lightly.
But what does that matter?
"Could it be that the people who kidnapped Hanshan were Su Junhou's men?"
Shen Zhishu was shocked.
This time it must not be fake, because she really didn't expect why Yan Chu would suspect him?
"We'll know soon enough."
But it was clearly the Queen Mother who took action.
She was nervous and her heart was in turmoil.
Then there is this agonizing wait.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally movement at the foot of the mountain.
There was a group of people rushing up the mountain.
There were a few familiar faces, they were the Guards.
They escorted three people up.
They must have been in a fierce fight and were all injured.
Those three people were complete strangers.
She didn't know whether she was the Queen Mother's person.
Shen Zhishu was a little nervous.
"Get in the car first."
Yan Chu still didn't let her stay here.
I'm afraid the scene was very bloody. Not long after she got in the car, she heard screams coming from the distance.
Her heart ached when she heard that.
It won't be long before Yan Chu will know the 'truth' from them.
She suddenly regretted it.
Maybe I shouldn't come today.
It would be so nice to wait for news in the palace. Every moment sitting here makes me feel very nervous.
Not a moment later.
Yan Chu is back.
There is a smell of blood on the body.
Although there is no blood on his body, but...
"I have ordered people to clear the weeds in front of Jing'an's tomb. You can go down and pay your respects. Are you going?"
Then it was like nothing had happened.
So do you know the result? But why are you so calm?
Now that she's here, there seems to be no reason for her not to get off the car.
Shen Zhishu nodded and followed Yan Chu to Jing'an's grave to pay homage.
"Her two children are still outside the Great Wall. Now the Yan Dynasty generals are guarding outside the Great Wall. I am afraid that their lives will not be easy. So I plan to bring her children back to Kyoto and give them to the Queen Mother to raise."
Then Yan Chu talked about his plan.
Shen Zhishu was very nervous.
She didn't know if there was a deeper meaning behind these words, or if it was a test.
"Does the Queen Mother have the energy to do this?"
She could only try to pretend to be normal.
"There will be."
Just three simple words made Shen Zhishu unable to help but think wildly.
"Your Majesty, did you find out who it was just now?"
"Well, Shu'er, I have a lot of things to do after I go back, so I can't be with you often. You have to be more careful in the harem. I heard that the queen mother treats you well on weekdays, but you must be on guard against others."
It's over.
Yan Chu must have known about it.
Otherwise, how could you say these words?
Shen Zhishu felt a darkness before his eyes.
Even if you think your plan is perfect, one day it will be exposed.
She nodded.
Afterwards, they paid tribute to Jing'an and returned to the palace.
Yan Chu sent her back to the bedroom and left in a hurry.
It's as if he can't wait to find out the truth.
And she should go to see the Queen Mother first.
The Queen Mother always wants to know what the current situation is.
But can I go?
She was worried that the empress dowager would reveal her flaws, and she was also worried that she would be too flustered and expose her flaws.
So what should we do?
Shen Zhishu returned to the bedroom very anxiously.
But I didn't expect to see Nanny Du after entering the house.
"Mammy, you..."
Isn't she worried that the Emperor will come in while waiting in her room?
Shen Zhishu subconsciously looked outside. Even though he knew the emperor had gone far away, he was still afraid.
"The Queen is back?"
Nanny Du's tone was calm, but upon closer listening, it sounded weak.
After being shocked, Shen Zhishu realized that her face did not look good.
"Mammy, you..."
She was about to ask again, only to see her take two steps towards her.
Then he became exhausted, fell to the ground, and vomited blood.
How could someone get hurt so easily in the palace?
Considering what had just happened, Shen Zhishu felt a chill in his heart when he saw Nanny Du lying on the ground.
"How are you...hurt?"
Could it be that today, she really led the team to kidnap Hanshan, and then was repelled?
The people captured by the emperor were the empress dowager's men.
"My lady, I'm so sorry. I really shouldn't have come here to disturb you."
She seemed to be really injured and she spoke weakly.
I'm sorry again, but didn't you come here too?
Shen Zhishu hid his complicated feelings.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Where are you injured? Is it serious? How can I help you?"
She didn't dare to touch her. In fact, with her injured hand, there was nothing she could do.
Nanny Du endured the pain, slowly got up from the ground and sat on the ground.
"My lady, I may need to stay with you for a few days..."
As soon as Shen Zhishu heard these words, he felt like he had lost all hope in life.
How many days?
Did she know that the emperor would often come in and out of here? How could she hide so as not to be discovered?
If the emperor finds her, there will be no need for me to make excuses anymore.
But what can she do?
Now he and the Queen Mother are like grasshoppers on the same rope.
There was no other way, she could only hide Nanny Du.
But she didn't even dare to let Bitao meet people directly.
"Just be patient. You can't see anyone else like this."
Then she used her injured hands and the things on the dressing table to put on some simple makeup.
Soon, the person in the mirror was completely unrecognizable.
Aunt Du couldn't believe that the person inside was her.
"Is this me?"
This is the best disguise technique used in the martial arts world, right?
The original double eyelids have now been pulled into single eyelids, the eyes have shrunk by half, and they look lifeless.
My once straight nose is now flat.
The mole at the corner of the eye is gone, but there is a big black mole at the corner of the mouth.
The features of a face were completely changed by her.
She even suspected that she would not be able to recognize herself standing before the Queen Mother.
"Time is tight, so let's leave it at that for today. Once I have arranged a place for you to stay and treated your wounds, I will make some minor changes."
Looking at this face, it is almost impossible to tell what it originally looked like.
Shen Zhishu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At least I can fool that girl Bitao.
Then she called Bi Tao over and settled Nanny Du.
Medicines are easy to find.
Xiao Anzi is in charge of medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital, and he... is probably her man.
After all, she is not the emperor's spy, so she can be used.
Nanny Du wants to hide away to recuperate.
She gave me a lot of medicine and daily necessities, and took very good care of me.
When Shen Zhishu was tidying up her appearance and tying her hair, Nanny Du couldn't help but tear up.
