Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 8 Chapter 36

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao returned to the house, she felt that something was wrong.

The day before, he sang only half a song and almost annoyed the emperor, but today he refused the prince's courtship and stole his obscene pants.After thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao, who had returned to her senses, felt that she really couldn't stay in this palace.

The prince can hide for a while but can't hide for a lifetime, 36 tricks is the best strategy.Su Xiaoxiao made up her mind, so she rummaged through boxes and boxes and began to pack her luggage.With some silver taels and a golden hairpin beside him, he didn't know whether he could sneak out of the palace without anyone noticing, nor did he know what the outside world was like, so Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy.I also thought about whether the troupe would continue to sit after losing the top card after I left. At first, I thought I couldn't care less, but when I thought of Chen Tingqiu, I still felt a little distressed. After all, this man gave her his heart and soul, not to mention that he couldn't repay his affection , This time it will cost him his life.

While hesitating, there was a knock on the door, Xiaoxiao didn't dare to respond to the mess, and after a while she heard Chu Yu's voice like a yellow warbler: "Sister, sister, are you there?"

Su Xiaoxiao was relieved, this little sister had never had any bad intentions, and she could ask her about the way to make a living after going out, so she opened the door and greeted: "It's Chu Yu!"

"Sister, what are you..." Chu Yu poked her head and was shocked to see the mess in the room.

Xiao Xiao asked Chu Yu to enter the room, and said with a wry smile: "Yesterday I offended the emperor, and today I offended the crown prince. I'm afraid it will be bad luck if I stay in this palace."

Chu Yu was shocked when she heard the words: "Yesterday, it was my sister who was in love for a while, how did you provoke that black-faced live King of Hades today?"

"Hmm... that..." Xiaoxiao remembered that on the big bed in the East Palace, the rough and warm touch of Sima Yu's fingers seemed to be still lingering on her skin. She couldn't help blushing when she thought of this, this kind of How can I say something?

"It's just... I broke up with the prince. He didn't say anything, probably because there is no shortage of women... But I always feel awkward..."

"Sister, why bother to think so much? Acting in the palace is to accompany the king like a tiger. Now that it's not the time to leave, why bother to go out of the palace to make a living. Not to mention that it's not easy for the troupe to make a living in one place. , you are a weak woman, why don't you live a life when you go out?" Ling Chuyu held Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and said every word with great emotion.

"It's better to go out and live than to lose your head here, sister!" Su Xiaoxiao thought clearly, it's better to live than to die, and she just died not long ago, but she doesn't want to be dragged by the prince to chop off her head again.

"However, the gate of the palace is heavily guarded and heavily guarded. If you want to leave the palace gate, you must have a token to leave the palace, or be led by a nobleman, so as to avoid interrogation. Otherwise, you will be detained if you leave the palace without a reason." Ling Chuyu sighed, The originally charming and bright face was clouded with sorrow, "But..."

"But what? Sister, tell me!" Xiao Xiao knew that there was another mystery behind Chu Yu's words as soon as she heard the word "but".

Chu Yu hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "I have been doing needlework for a living since I was a child, and there are not many good places on this finger that was pricked by the needle..." Chu Yu was a little choked up, and she spread her hands for Xiaoxiao to see. Her fingertips were full of thick calluses, and the blurred lines after the calluses were cut off, she held her little hand tightly again and said: "It's fortunate that I met my sister who took me in and let me join this troupe for a few years. It's beautiful to play a supporting role with my sister. Now that my sister is in trouble, Chu Yu can't just sit back and watch. If my sister has made up her mind, I have a way to help her out of the palace!"

Su Xiaoxiao was overjoyed when she heard the words, meeting a nobleman along the way, I will never die!
"Tomorrow at noon, go out through the rightmost side door of Xuanwu Gate in the north. The guard guarding the gate is my acquaintance. I will greet him today. When you see him tomorrow and give my name, he will let you go out. You see how?"

"Is this person reliable?" Xiaoxin became suspicious.

"In the past, I often asked him to let me go out to buy some candied fruit, and there was no mistake." Chu Yu said affectionately, holding her little hand, "Besides, how dare I take things lightly when it comes to my sister?"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly held Chu Yu's hand: "Trust it, trust it! But I escaped this time, I don't know if you will suffer?"

"You will be punished to some extent, but sister don't need to worry about it. You feel that you have to go. It's life-threatening. If we know that my sister lives well outside, we will naturally be happy."

Chu Yu's words were very ironic in Xiao Xiaoxiao's heart, so she put her mind at ease and checked the route for the second day carefully.It was late at night when it was time to rest. Before leaving, Chu Yu remembered the sisterhood of the past six years. She was afraid that it would be difficult to see her again in the future, so she shed some tears and said goodbye several times before walking away.

This room sent Ling Chuyu away, Su Xiaoxiao still wanted to say goodbye to Chen Tingqiu, she didn't want to speak too clearly, she just owed Tingqiu an explanation.

"Ting Qiu, are you there?" Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door, and the door opened after a while, as if the people inside had been waiting for her to come.

"Little? Why are you here?" Chen Tingqiu was a little surprised.

"What? I can't come?" Xiaoxiao smiled.Joking with Chen Tingqiu is probably one of the few relaxing moments since she came to this time and space.

"No, no, it's just that you seldom come to see me." Chen Tingqiu said with a wry smile, "But you came just in time. I was making a pair of knee pads for you, and it was getting cold in a blink of an eye. The costumes were thin, and the knees were the worst when performing on stage. You catch cold easily, and you always ignore it, but now that your body is weak, you have to pay attention..."

After saying that, he let Xiao Xiao into the room, and handed over a pair of knee pads on the table.It can be seen that it was remade from an old jacket, the fabric is soft and warm, and the light beige material was carefully selected so that the color is not easy to see through from the costume.

Xiaoxiao felt a little sad for a moment, this man didn't ask for anything in return, he only wanted to be with him for a long time, and only wanted Su Xiaoxiao to accept his meticulous care, but she couldn't even do this, she was about to leave him to live her own life.Complaints are nothing but complaints, the old Su Xiaoxiao died a long time ago, and it is too heavy for her to walk alone with Su Xiaoxiao's identity.After all, she is Lin Xiaoxiao, not Su Xiaoxiao, not in the past, not now, and never will be.

But she still took the knee pads, didn't say a word of what she wanted to say, and only gave Chen Tingqiu a big smile: "Okay, I will wear it this winter."
