The man stood still and chuckled: "Princess, you are so alert. You noticed us just after we arrived."

Feng Guanlan?

Chu Zhao heard his voice, and his pounding heartbeat slowly calmed down.

"Eunuch Feng, why is it you?" She sat on the bed, her tone obviously displeased, "Although Eunuch Feng is not a real man, he shouldn't be able to enter and exit the women's rooms at will. Do you know that this will scare people to death? ?”

Feng Guanlan stood in the shadows, his expression unclear, but his tone was hurt: "Princess, you can express your dissatisfaction, but can you not poke people's lungs as soon as you do it? Do you know how hurtful your words are?"

Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing.

This guy is quite interesting, the way he talks is a bit like Xu Hui.

Xu Hui always liked to talk like this to make her happy.

Therefore, without Xu Hui, it would be good if he could take this person for his own use.

I just don’t know who his current master is.

"I said the wrong thing." She apologized to him with a smile, and asked, "What's the purpose of Eunuch Feng coming to me?"

Feng Guanlan accepted her careless apology: "We are just here to see if the princess is still used to living there. By the way, let me tell the princess that the Jingnan Army has been settled. I will also help you bring back your General Zhang and Mr. Qi. ”

Chu Zhao suddenly became energetic, lifted up the quilt and got out of bed: "Where are they?"

Feng Guanlan took a few steps back, keeping a distance from her. He touched his chin without a beard and said regretfully: "I just met Mr. Ge and Mr. Xiaoge at the gate of the palace who were on duty to go home. Mr. Xiaoge said that the princess was The entourage has all been sent back to Jingnan Prince's Mansion, and he happened to be on the way, so he can take those two people there as well."

As soon as Chu Zhao found his shoes and put them on, he straightened up suddenly when he heard this: "So you let him take the person away?"

"Otherwise?" Feng Guanlan spread his hands, "We are not related to him, and Mr. Xiao Ge is so warm-hearted. What can our family do?"

Chu Zhao: "..."

Fine!

There's nothing wrong with him saying that.

He settled the Jingnan Army and brought people in, which was considered as fulfilling his promise to her. She could not ask him to fight with the He family and his son for her.

After all, she and he were neither relatives nor friends, and she didn't even know whether they were enemies or friends.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Feng." Chu Zhao said, "I live well here. I'm sorry for your concern, Eunuch Feng."

Feng Guanlan looked at her through the dim light, and saw that her face was as usual, without any anxiety or anger about being trapped. Instead, she had a calm and happy-go-lucky attitude, which made her feel that she was different from an ordinary woman.

"The princess promised to do a favor for our family unconditionally. Does this still count?"

"Forget it, of course it does. My greatest advantage is that I keep my word." Chu Zhao walked to the window, opened the heavy curtains, let in the last ray of skylight, and looked at the empty courtyard outside and said, "It's just me. Now that I am trapped in a small area, I wonder what I can do to help Eunuch Feng?"

Feng Guanlan was silent for a moment, but did not express her request. He also came over and stood side by side with her in front of the window and looked out.

"I heard that the princess checked the Queen Mother's pulse. I wonder how the Queen Mother's condition is?"

"..." Chu Zhao tilted his head to look at him, "Father-in-law, do you hope that I can cure it, or do you hope that I can't cure it?"

Feng Guanlan smacked his lips and smiled: "The princess asked this question. We ministers, of course, hope that the queen mother will be in good health and live a long and prosperous life."

The words were so high-sounding, but no real feelings could be heard. It seemed that there was no hope.Chu Zhao thought to himself that he and the He family were in opposition, and the master behind him would naturally not want the Queen Mother to live a long life.

"Eunuch Feng is so loyal to the Queen Mother, doesn't he want me to help cure the Queen Mother?" She said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Feng Guanlan hurriedly waved his hand: "The princess will not hold back when treating the Queen Mother. Our family should not waste this precious opportunity."

"It's nothing valuable." Chu Zhao said, "As long as Eunuch Feng is willing to cooperate with me, I can provide help to Eunuch Feng at any time."

Feng Guanlan was startled for a moment, then laughed: "It's getting late. We'll have someone deliver dinner to the princess. We'll talk about other things later. Anyway, the princess won't be able to leave for a while in the palace."

"Okay, if Eunuch Feng wants me to do anything, ask me at any time, and I will spare no effort." Chu Zhao said.

Feng Guanlan took another deep look at her, said nothing more, nodded slightly as a courtesy, turned around and strode away.

Chu Zhao didn't see him off, but still stood in front of the window.

Feng Guanlan went out, walked down the corridor, passed the window, and turned to look back.

The two people's eyes intertwined through the shadowy window screen. Feng Guanlan did not stop and continued to move forward.

This person is interesting.

Maybe he made a special trip to test her?

Otherwise, for such a trivial matter, just send a young eunuch to talk to her. Why go to the Queen Mother's Palace in person to attract people's attention?

So, what was his intention to test her?

Is it possible that he, like her, wants to take her for his own use?

If this is the case, he is quite devoted to the master behind him.

At this time, someone came quietly from outside.

Chu Zhao heard the movement and silently turned his head to look.

A palace maid walked in and looked inside. Seeing that there was no one on the bed, she said to herself: "Where is the person?"

"Who are you looking for?" Chu Zhao asked.

The palace maid was unprepared and jumped away with a cry of fright. When she saw clearly it was Chu Zhao, she patted her chest again and said, "Why is the princess standing there so quietly? She's so scary."

"Are you blaming me?" Chu Zhao asked. Although it was dark and he couldn't see his face clearly, his voice was calm and authoritative.

The palace maid was startled and froze at the door.

Another palace maid who was setting up food outside hurriedly came over and pulled her to kneel down and salute Chu Zhao: "Princess, please calm down. It's Taozhi who is timid. She can't blame the princess. The princess must be hungry after sleeping for so long. The servants are here to serve her." Would you like dinner?"

"Yeah." Chu Zhao stretched and said calmly, "Let's light the lamp first, it's pitch dark and I'm scared."

The two of them got up in response, lit the lamp, brought warm water for her to wash up, and invited her to sit down at the dining table.

The clever palace maid personally handed the chopsticks to Chu Zhao's hand: "This is the first time for the princess to enter the palace, and the imperial kitchen does not know your preferences. Can you try it to your taste?"

Chu Zhao took the chopsticks and moved the dishes on the table, but did not eat. He put down the chopsticks and picked up the bowl of red date and lotus seed porridge and put it to his mouth, frowning slightly.

"Who arranged for you to come here?" she asked casually, holding the bowl.
