"Master, Madam asked Luo Shu to deliver a message, wanting to see... Deputy Commander Chu." Mu Yi replied.

Even though the Luoshu siblings made their plans very secretive, they still couldn't hide it from Mu Rong's people.

After hearing Mu Yi's reply, Mu Rong's expression became gloomy for a moment.

Although he knew Xu Rongrong's character, at this juncture, even if she secretly met with Chu He, it was definitely not about love, but about what they were planning. But when he thought of her needing help, the first person he thought of was Chu He instead of himself...

I can't help feeling sour and powerless.

His Rongrong, when will he be able to trust himself completely?

After all, it's just that I'm not worthy.

"Master, do you need Mu Qi to find out something?" You must know what the Madam's secret meeting with Chu He is about, right?

"No need." Mu Rong shook his head. "Just order people to pay attention to her safety, and don't ask about other things."

After saying that, he turned and went to the study.

A piece of snow-white paper with a soft glow was spread out in front of him.

He slowly picked up the pen and wrote down three big words with concentration.

……

The next evening, Xu Rongrong met Chu He as promised.

It was an inconspicuous teahouse in the capital. A simple curtain made of a few straw mats was set up at the door, rustling in the cold wind. The teahouse was dimly lit, and a few guests were shelling peanuts and drinking tea to warm their stomachs.

The teahouse has a back door that leads directly to the kitchen.

Behind the blazing fire there was a small ladder leading to a storage room.

The capital city is cold in winter, and the storage room for dried fruits and snacks in the teahouse is actually a cellar. But today, the cellar has been cleaned spotlessly.

There was a fire in the corner, flickering.

"This place has wronged the county lady." Chu He looked quietly at the girl sitting in front of him.

He took a deep breath greedily.

The faint fragrance of the girl filled my nose.

How long has it been since he last saw her? One month, two months...

But every night in his dreams, he could still clearly remember the long arrow he shot, piercing her chest, and then the whole dream was shrouded in scarlet blood.

"Is this the secret sentry you set up?" Xu Rongrong looked around curiously.

Teahouses are frequented by all kinds of people, and it is easiest to find out all kinds of secrets in such places.

"You can also be at the county lord's disposal in the future." Chu He said.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Chu He looked much stronger, and the murderous aura on his body became even stronger.

The armor of the imperial guard general on him added a bit of domineering aura.

But the eyes looking at Xu Rongrong still held a special tenderness.

Xu Rongrong didn't think much about it, but she felt a little embarrassed by the gaze. She waved her hand quickly: "No need, I'm a woman in the inner house, I don't need these..."

She already has Ting Yuxuan. Although it is not as convenient as a teahouse to get information, it is also good.

"The county lady is looking for me for something important?" Chu He asked.

Xu Rongrong said seriously, "You must have heard in the palace that the Fourth Prince gave the deposed queen a 'Panshan Yunhai Drip Water Clock' to please her, to help her sleep?"

Chuhe nodded.

"I need it!" Xu Rongrong said, "Is it in the warehouse now?"

Chu He shook his head: "It is now in His Majesty's bedroom."

Xu Rongrong was slightly startled. She had thought that the emperor hated the deposed empress. Even if he pretended to be affectionate and yearning in front of others, he would definitely not touch the things she left behind and would definitely put them away...

But unexpectedly, he placed it in his bedroom.

This is difficult to do.

She lowered her eyes, unable to hide her disappointment.

Chu He's mind moved slightly: "What does the county lady need it for?" He tilted his head slightly and did not see the dark circles under her eyes, so he guessed it was not due to insomnia.

"I need it... for another purpose." Xu Rongrong told Chu He exactly the method she and Shu Qing had devised to remove the poison from the frozen acupoints. Then she continued,

"I don't know what the 'glazed clean dish' Mr. Shu mentioned is, but from the description of its function, it seems to be similar to the 'winding mountain sea of ​​clouds'. But now... since it is in the emperor's bedroom, it must be impossible. I will think of other ways."

Seeing the deep disappointment in her drooping eyebrows, Chu He smiled slightly: "It's not difficult. Your Majesty has been suffering from insomnia these days, which is why you can't do without the 'Panshan Yunhai'. If this item suddenly breaks down, or if it becomes the source of your majesty's insomnia, it will be much easier for the county lady to obtain it."

After hearing what he said, Xu Rongrong's face showed a moment of joy.

But only for a moment.

"But this is too dangerous!" The thought of tampering with the emperor's bedroom is a serious matter.

What's more, the current situation is tense and the emperor is already suspicious.

Chu He was alone in the palace and lacked help. It would be very dangerous if he was exposed because of this incident.

The girl's eyes were filled with deep worry.

Chu He felt a little warm in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, now that I am the deputy commander of the imperial guards, I won't attract attention when I go in and out of the emperor's bedroom. What's more, I have known his habits for these days, and I won't put myself in danger."

As long as we take action when the emperor is in the imperial study to invite Princess Lingxi to his palace, there will be no risk of failure.

"No, no...I'll think of another way." Xu Rongrong still shook her head.

"County Lady, don't be afraid!" Chu He subconsciously put his hand on Xu Rongrong's shoulder and gave her confidence with his strength. "I won't let anything happen to myself, and I won't let anyone worry."

The man's palm was warm, and the firm strength from his arm made her feel inexplicably at ease.

The person who was pierced by an arrow in the previous life has to take risks for himself in this life.

Xu Rongrong felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Apart from the "Panshan Yunhai" dripping water, she seemed to have no other solution.

"If something is wrong, you need to pull away immediately and never put yourself in danger," she said.

Chuhe nodded.

Although he was reluctant, he still let go.

He was afraid of scaring her.

"In two days, the people from the palace's treasure bureau will send 'Panshan Yunhai' outside the palace for repair. The county lady can just ask Chu He to meet him outside." He said with a smile.

"Why don't the people in the Treasure Bureau repair it themselves?" Xu Rongrong asked puzzledly.

"The more the emperor values ​​an object, the less likely the people in the Treasure Bureau will touch it." He smiled. If they can't repair it... they will be beheaded.

The emperor is not a good person.

After discussing everything, it was already very late.

Xu Rongrong stood up and prepared to leave.

Chu He glanced at the stove she was holding, then took out another one from the cabinet, refilled it with charcoal and handed it to her: "I'm afraid your hand warmer is cold, use this one."

Looking at the exquisite hand warmer, Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "This is made of cloisonné. You can keep it for yourself."

Chu He didn't say anything, but replaced the heater in Xu Rongrong's hand and handed the new heater to her palm: "Don't get cold."

When Chu He was a guard in Xu's house, he often made decisions for her. Xu Rongrong was used to it, so she did not refuse this time.

After thanking Chu He and confirming the time for Luo Chen to pick her up, Xu Rongrong left under the cover of night.

Only Chu He stood in the distance, holding the hand warmer that still carried the girl's body temperature against his chest.
