After Jiang Fang and his party left the palace, Xing Zhi became nervous. Although Xiao Niao Niao was not in the palace now, she still knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the palace.
As Xiao Niao Niao's personal palace maid, Xing Zhi naturally has a high status in the Biyu Palace, and almost everyone must obey Xing Zhi's arrangements.
Fortunately, he took a little palace maid and walked to Xiao Niao's palace, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a strange palace maid.
This palace maid looked familiar to Xingzhi. She should be the person sent by Xiao Huaiyan to keep an eye on her. Xingzhi said calmly: "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"
The little palace maid said: "The princess told me before she left that no one is allowed to enter the palace. Sister Xingzhi should not embarrass me."
Xingzhi said: "How could I not know that the princess had given such an order? It was the princess who clearly told me to clean up the palace before she left, but now you are blocking me.
When the princess comes back and sees that this place has not been cleaned up, can you afford it if the princess loses her temper? I clean it every day, and no one has ever stopped me!"
The maid looked inside and then at Xingzhi. It was indeed Xingzhi who had been cleaning up the place inside and out, and Xiao Niaonuo was always with Xingzhi.
But she had never seen the palace maid beside Xingzhi before, and asked: "Sister Xingzhi, don't you usually take Lan Lan to clean up? Why did you bring someone so unfamiliar today?"
Xingzhi frowned and raised his voice: "Who do I bring to clean up the palace, and what does it have to do with you? Which grandma brought you to do it? Do you think you are so ignorant of the rules?"
The little palace maid said: "Sister Xingzhi, don't blame me. This is the princess's order, and I only follow the princess's order."
Fortunately, he walked straight in and didn't want to talk to the little palace maid. She would be wrong if she said anything. What she wanted to do now was not to waste time with her here, but to bring the little palace maid in and replace the Queen Mother.
Seeing Xingzhi rushing in like this, the palace maid didn't dare to look at it, but she followed behind. Xingzhi didn't take it seriously. After entering, she said to the palace maid she brought with her:
"You should change the princess's bedding first. It has been snowing these days. The princess complained yesterday that the bedding had a smell. Remember that the new bedding must be smoked with an incense burner."
After finishing speaking, Xingzhi said to the palace maid who followed him in: "What are you doing standing still? Haven't you seen the mess in this room? Why don't you clean it up quickly?"
After saying this, he tidied up the bedding with the palace maid he had brought with him. From time to time, he secretly glanced at the palace maid who was cleaning the room.
The palace maid that Xingzhi brought in took advantage of the people behind her not paying attention and wiped Xingzhi's neck, but Xingzhi shook her head and whispered: "She is not from the Jade Palace."
But with a person staring like this, there was absolutely no chance of what he wanted to do, so fortunately, just when he was about to be carried out, he pretended to fall on the palace maid, and covered her mouth with the quilt to prevent her from letting go.
She cried out.
The palace maid who was lucky enough to bring her immediately knocked her unconscious, tied her up and gagged her mouth.
Now there were only two people left in the dormitory. Fortunately, they quickly found the entrance to the secret room, but they couldn't find the mechanism.
She had always known that there was a secret room in Xiao Niao Niao's palace, but Xiao Niao Niao had never let anyone enter with her, so even Xing Zhi, who was following her, never knew where the entrance was.
After groping for a while, Lucky opened the door of the secret room by mistake, but before entering, Lucky suddenly said: "Although you were already prepared before coming.
But now there is a ready-made substitute, maybe we can use her to replace the Queen Mother instead of using your life."
But the palace maid shook her head and said: "When you came in, you noticed that there were many pairs of eyes staring at you. How could you hide it if you didn't change one person for another?
Moreover, the human skin mask Mr. Yan Ge gave me was made in my likeness in advance. If I replace her with the Queen Mother, wouldn’t I be discovered as soon as I go out?"
Fortunately, although I don't know why she would be willing to give up her life to save the Queen Mother, this is not what she should worry about now.
The corridor of the secret room was a little dark at first. Fortunately, I walked a while holding on to the wall. When I got to the back, I realized that the corridor was filled with night-light pearls, illuminating the inside as brightly as day.
Xingzhi sighed, this is probably the treatment of a princess. For ordinary people, this luminous pearl may be enough to last several lifetimes, but this corridor is filled with luminous pearls.
When I walked inside, I fortunately saw a person tied to a pillar from a distance. Her eyes were covered, her clothes were in tatters, and there seemed to be blood oozing out.
Fortunately, he walked forward quickly and saw that it was the Queen Mother, so he quickly untied the Queen Mother with the palace maid, and then helped the Queen Mother sit down on the ground.
Fortunately, she quickly felt the Queen Mother's pulse. After feeling the weak beating, she breathed a sigh of relief. The palace maid quickly changed her clothes with those of Queen Mother Jiang.
Empress Dowager Jiang seemed to realize that someone was taking off her clothes, and she struggled to get up. Fortunately, she quickly said: "Empress Dowager, I have come to save you on the orders of the third princess. Don't worry."
After saying this, he fortunately took off the black cloth covering Queen Mother Jiang's face. Queen Mother Jiang seemed to have not gotten used to the light yet, so she covered her eyes with her hands.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes. The palace maid took off her coat and handed it to the Queen Mother, saying, "It was just because of the situation that I offended the Queen Mother.
But now that time is running out, I would like to ask the Queen Mother to quickly change her clothes with her servants, and she will be sent to the Jinxiu Palace safely in a moment."
Queen Mother Jiang still had some doubts on her face. At this time, the palace maid took out the token given by Jiang Fang from her waist. It was the same token that Queen Mother Jiang had given her when she left the palace. Only then did Queen Mother Jiang believe that Jiang Fang had sent her
people.
She thought it was Xiao Huaiyan playing another trick, so she refused to exchange clothes, but after seeing her token, she gave up her doubts.
Asked: "What is the situation in the palace now?"
Fortunately, he said: "Now the palace is safe for the time being, but if you, the Queen Mother, are kept here all the time, I don't know what will happen to you. Please change your clothes quickly and go out with me."
