274 “Sexy Pampering” Chapter 273

【Emperor Chapter 25】I lost you (second update)

Jingchen endured his impatience and had dinner with Concubine Rong, the fifth princess and Yun Wan, but he never thought that he would lose his little dumplings in just one meal.

When he returned to the side hall and saw the mess and messy bloodstains all over the floor, and when he searched all the rooms but couldn’t find Chu Jiao, Jingchen’s entire eyes, including his pupils, turned red.

He realized that tonight was clearly the Hongmen Banquet, and angrily rushed directly into Concubine Rong’s main hall, questioning her loudly, asking her where she had hidden his little eunuch.

“Hey, that little eunuch,” Concubine Rong fiddled with her fingernails and spoke in a tone like mentioning an ant, “Something was lost in my bedroom. It was just that the servants on duty everywhere were interrogated. Who knew that your little eunuch had ulterior motives and escaped after injuring my man…”

“No, I have ordered the servants to search, and if they are caught, they will be sent to the Sentence Department.” Concubine Rong secretly blamed the two men for their uselessness. They couldn’t even catch a eunuch, but she didn’t take it seriously. The palace said it was big or small, so it was more than enough to catch someone.She was more concerned about the adopted son in front of her who was gradually disobeying her control, and said slowly, “Jingchen, you are too bad at disciplining your servants. My mother-in-law will give you Aunt Wang next to you, and ask her to discipline the people in the lower courtyard for you, so that cats and dogs will not seduce your soul…”

Jingchen lowered his head and listened to Concubine Rong’s instructions, slowly clenching his fists.

The rage and impulsiveness just now gradually came back, and he was smart enough to quickly understand what Concubine Rong didn’t say, and he also realized that he was the culprit who harmed the little eunuch.

It was because he couldn’t help it, because he wasn’t strong enough, and because he couldn’t protect her.

“It’s because I was negligent before. In a few days, I will discuss it with your father and give you advice on your marriage…”

It’s not that Concubine Rong didn’t realize that Jingchen was old enough to get married, but she had been considering the candidate, thinking about who to choose would maximize her benefits and keep Jingchen firmly in her hands.

Now that Yun Wan had exposed a scandal in a tactful way, she realized that some things should be done as soon as possible.

Jingchen gritted his teeth: “Jingchen only wants to learn knowledge and protect his family and country.”

“Haha,” Concubine Rong covered her mouth, “It’s okay for you. I’ll arrange a few rooms for you first.”

The choice of the first wife is not like the head wife. She needs to consider the intricacies of the court’s forces. It is enough for her to arrange her confidants.

Jingchen knew that it was not appropriate to resist at this time, so he bowed his head.

After returning to the side hall with the old nanny assigned by Concubine Rong, Jingchen locked himself in the room.

Someone was staring at him, and he couldn’t even release his anxiety and pain. He could only smother himself in the quilt, hugging the mask that Chu Jiao had drawn for him and sobbing softly.

“Gillian…where are you?”

“What should I do? I lost you…”

The person he was worried about was pushing a wooden cart full of goods and walking towards the palace gate with his head lowered.

“Wait, stop!”

At the palace gate, two guards on duty stopped the eunuch pushing the cart.

“For what?”

“Oh, brother guard, we are from the Chief Pantry Supervisor. It’s almost the end of the Queen Mother’s life. The Chief Cuisine Master ordered us to buy some ingredients.”

The eunuch next to Chu Jiao was hunched over and lowered his head, with a flattering smile on his face.

“The palace is arresting someone who has done something wrong. Keep your head up!”

The eunuch raised his head when he heard this, narrowed his eyes and nose, and the two guards took a step back in disgust.He glanced at the portrait in his hand and waved his hand like a fly to let the two of them leave, without even looking at Chu Jiao beside the eunuch.

The person ordered to be arrested was a handsome young eunuch. It was absolutely impossible for this eunuch to be so ugly.And the other one is a little palace maid, no need to look further.

However, one of the guards waited until the two left before touching his chin and smacking his mouth. This little palace maid was quite pretty.

Chu Jiao walked out of the palace gate and pushed the cart with the eunuch beside her to the restaurant where she often bought food. Then she bowed her waist and thanked the little eunuch with a snub nose next to her.

The little eunuch waved his hand and smiled honestly: “My godfather is the only person in this palace who treats me well. I will definitely do what he asks me to do.”

The godfather in the little eunuch’s mouth was Chu Jiao’s uncle Zhang Shun. When Chu Jiao was transferred to Jingchen, Zhang Shun felt relieved a lot. Later, in order to cover up, he accepted a godson. He never expected that the little eunuch would be so grateful to repay his kindness.

After bidding farewell to the little eunuch, Chu Jiao looked at the bustling capital city in front of her, suddenly feeling a little confused.

Without Jingchen by her side, where should she go now?
