Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

He Yunjie didn't know how to answer Chu Zhao's rhetorical question. After being stunned for a few breaths, he said nothing and continued walking along the corridor.

The rain stopped at some point, leaving only the rustling autumn wind. The two people's loose robes were blown by the wind passing through the corridor, and they were tangled together from time to time.

Chu Zhao was thinking about Gao Lin and didn't care about this.

He Yunjie's expression was indifferent, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the two people's robe sleeves floating back and forth, like duckweeds in the river, being blown together and scattered by the wind, never stopping.

But he had no intention of straying away from her. He always kept a distance that was neither far nor close, and allowed the strong wind to rage, but his heart remained firm.

After passing through two corridors, Chu Zhao was taken by He Yunjie to the miscellaneous room of the side hall of Ci'an Palace, where he saw Gao Lin who was busy.

Gao Lin is the eunuch in charge of the miscellaneous affairs in the Queen Mother's Palace. When your father-in-law is away or busy, he will listen to the Queen Mother's orders and run errands to deliver orders for the Queen Mother.

Because he is fair, clean and handsome, and he is very clever in doing things, the Queen Mother still values ​​him, but her trust level is slightly lower than that of your father-in-law.

Seeing He Yunjie leading Chu Zhao in, Gao Lin was stunned for a moment and did not recognize Chu Zhao.

Because when he saw Chu Zhao at that time, Chu Zhao still had a dark and ugly face.

"When did Mr. Xiaoge return to Beijing? I was so busy that I never heard the news." Gao Lin greeted He Yunjie and did not take the initiative to ask him what he was doing here.

"I just came back a while ago." He Yunjie raised his hand to avoid his courtesy and said calmly, "Princess Jingnan will stay in the palace to diagnose the Queen Mother. I wonder if Eunuch Gao has prepared the princess's residence?"

Hearing this, Gao Lin looked at Chu Zhao in surprise: "Is this Princess Jingnan?"

He Yunjie nodded slightly to confirm his guess.

The surprise on Gao Lin's face was very real. He Yunjie only thought that he was as amazed by the princess's beauty as everyone else. He didn't know that he was surprised by the change in Chu Zhao's appearance before and after.

He knelt down and saluted Chu Zhao respectfully: "My slave Gao Lin has met Princess Jingnan. The princess's residence has been prepared early in the morning and we are just waiting for the princess to arrive."

"Thank you for your service, Eunuch Gao, but Eunuch Gao is free of charge." Chu Zhao said with a well-placed smile, "I'm afraid I will have to trouble Eunuch Gao to take care of me more often in the future."

"What did the princess say? Serving the master is the duty of slaves. The slaves will definitely take good care of the princess." Gao Lin said.

He Yunjie had not seen his father since he came back, and he could not always be with Chu Zhao, so he immediately entrusted Chu Zhao to Gao Lin and left.

"Princess, please rest well. My official residence is in Wenyuan Pavilion. If anything happens to the princess, you can send someone to send me a message, or you can go and find me yourself." He said to Chu Zhao before leaving.

Chu Zhao nodded and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xiaoge, for your meticulous care. When the prince comes to Beijing, I will hold a banquet to thank Mr. Xiaoge."

"Princess, you're welcome." He Yunjie bowed his hands, turned around and left.

Chu Zhao watched him go away in silence, then turned to Gao Lin and whispered: "Eunuch Gao, we meet again."

Gao Lin looked around and extended his hand to her to invite her: "Slave, please take the princess to rest. Princess, please come with me."

"Thank you." Chu Zhao responded and followed him outside.

The residence Gao Lin arranged for Chu Zhao was in the side hall of the back hall of Ci'an Palace. It was in a remote location with few people coming and going, so it was convenient for her to rest and do things that no one knew about.

The two of them didn't talk much along the way. When they entered the inner room, Chu Zhao looked around the well-organized room and then said: "My residence has been prepared before I arrived. It seems that the Queen Mother has already made up her mind." Let me live under her nose.”

Gao Lin was still a little unaccustomed to the changed appearance of Princess Jingnan, and said with some restraint: "Indeed, the Queen Mother asked me to prepare for it a few days ago, but I was worried that the letter would be robbed, so I didn't dare to rush Write a letter to inform the prince."

"It doesn't matter whether you give me notice or not. The Queen Mother can force me to stay, but I can't force her to leave the palace." Chu Zhao said, "For the current plan, we can only act according to the opportunity and take advantage of the situation."

"What the princess said is absolutely true. No matter what, I will try my best to protect the princess." Gao Lin said.

Chu Zhao glanced at him and said seriously: "Eunuch Gao, is he protecting me for the prince's sake, or is he trying to protect me out of my kindness to you for saving my life?"

Gao Lin was slightly startled: "Is there any difference?"

"Of course." Chu Zhao said, "The former is loyalty to the prince, and the latter is repayment to me."

Gao Lin was embarrassed for a moment, then smiled and said: "The princess and the prince are one and the same. Why should the princess worry about this kind of problem?"

When Chu Zhao heard what he said, he knew that he was absolutely loyal to Murong Xiao, so he casually asked him: "How did you and the prince know each other?"

Gao Lin was stunned again and did not answer immediately.

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Aren't you and I the same person? Why can't you be honest with me?"

Gao Lin hesitated, thought for a moment, and then said succinctly: "I had just entered the palace when the late emperor passed away. I was almost beaten to death because I didn't understand the rules. It happened that the prince returned to Beijing to mourn and saved my life."

"I understand, the prince and I are both your saviors, but the prince is in front and I am behind." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

Gao Lin also laughed: "Don't worry, Princess, I will try my best to protect you."

"There is no need for protection. I am here to treat the Queen Mother. No one here should be harmful to me." Chu Zhao said, "My followers were sent to the palace by Mr. Xiaoge to monitor them. If you can help me from time to time, It would be great if we spread the word.”

"That's no problem." Gao Lin agreed wholeheartedly, "I am in charge of the chores of Cining Palace, and I often need to go out of the palace to buy things. If the princess has anything to say, you can tell me, but it can only be conveyed orally, and no letters or notes can be included."

"Okay, I understand, as long as you can pass on the message." After Chu Zhao finished speaking, he asked him again, "Can I ask why you went to Yunzhou some time ago?"

Gao Lin felt there was no need to hide this, so he said bluntly: "Some time ago, my mother in my hometown in Shuzhou passed away. The Queen Mother granted me two months' leave to go back to my hometown to attend the funeral, so I took the opportunity to go to Yunzhou to meet the prince. On the other hand, I unexpectedly encountered a robber on the way and was seriously injured."

"That's it." Chu Zhao no longer had any doubts about him, so he nodded and said, "You are busy with your business. I will rest for a while. If anything happens, I will go directly to you."

"Okay, then the princess has a good rest." Gao Lin said, bowed and left.

Chu Zhao had a lot of things on her mind, but she really didn't have the energy to think anymore at the moment, so she simply lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Even if the sky falls next moment, we have to wait until she is full of sleep.

It has to be said that the bed in the palace is very comfortable to sleep on. For a person who has been on the road for nearly three months, there is nothing more beautiful than lying on a warm and soft bed to sleep.

Chu Zhao lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

She was groggy and didn't know how long she had slept. She vaguely felt as if someone was approaching, and she was so startled that she opened her eyes.

It was getting late outside, the light inside was dim, and a blurry shadow stood in front of the bed.

"Who?" Chu Zhao stood up and asked.
