The blame can fall on her head without anyone taking it.
What's more, even if the eighth princess was taken away from this side palace, Xiao Lingyue would not have a suitable place to place her.
do not forget.
This is the imperial palace, the territory of Concubine Shu.
Xiao Lingyue didn't have any eyes and ears to help her in the palace. If she acted rashly, she would probably be caught.
what to do?
While Xiao Lingyue was thinking, her eyes fell on the eighth princess. She saw her writhing in pain, her hair was messed up, and her white jade hairpin fell on the bed.
Xiao Lingyue had a flash of inspiration and thought of today's birthday banquet. Concubine Wen only sent people to send congratulatory gifts and did not attend in person.
She owed Concubine Wen a favor last time, and after getting in touch with her, she felt that Concubine Wen was a smart person who didn't show off her skills.
Maybe... you can give it a try?
Xiao Lingyue picked up the white jade hairpin of the eighth princess, reached out and touched her sleeping point, wrapped the quiet eighth princess in a quilt, and hid it in the rockery in the garden.
She couldn't leave the side hall with the Eighth Princess because she wasn't sure if anyone was watching outside. She could escape alone, but it would be too inconvenient to take the unconscious Eighth Princess with her.
She could only hide it temporarily, so that if someone broke in while she was away, they wouldn't be discovered immediately.
As for Hu Hongzhi, who was unconscious in the palace...
Xiao Lingyue was too lazy to care and loved her to death.
After hiding the person, Xiao Lingyue quietly slipped out of the back door and walked quickly along the palace wall.
When she escaped from the roof, she took a general sweep of the surrounding environment, memorized the route of the palace wall, and also saw the patrolling Imperial Guards in the distance.
The imperial guards in the palace were all Emperor Zhaoming's personal guards, and they were a force that the concubines in the harem could never interfere with.
There is no need to worry about the person being Concubine Shu.
Xiao Lingyue walked forward close to the wall at a very fast speed. When she encountered the palace maids and eunuchs along the way, she avoided them in advance. Without anyone noticing, she soon reached the main palace road where the imperial army patrolled.
She's very lucky.
As soon as they walked around the palace wall, a group of forbidden soldiers came towards them.
The leader of the Forbidden Army had sharp eyes. He immediately spotted Xiao Lingyue at the corner and immediately shouted, "Who is so sneaky?"
Xiao Lingyue didn't hide it and walked out quickly before she had time to speak.
The leader of the Forbidden Army was stunned when he saw her: "...The Lord of Anping County?"
Xiao Lingyue stopped: "Do you know me?"
The leader of the imperial army hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Back to the county master, I am the centurion under Deputy Commander Zhao Yi. I was fortunate enough to meet the county master at Xiangguo Temple before."
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows.
Xue Hai, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and Zhao Yi, the deputy commander-in-chief, were both trusted confidants of Emperor Zhaoming.
She has seen them all in Xiangguo Temple and is relatively familiar with them.
But Xiao Lingyue couldn't recognize these two men, but that didn't matter.
The subordinates of Deputy Commander Zhao Yi must be from Emperor Zhaoming's side. In other words, they are people who can be trusted.
Xiao Lingyue didn't have much time to waste, and immediately said: "Is it convenient for me to take a step to talk?"
The leader of the Imperial Guard nodded and followed her a few steps to the side.
Xiao Lingyue took out the jade hairpin and handed it to him, and whispered: "I have something important to tell Concubine Wen. Please appoint a trustworthy person to deliver this hairpin to Wenxiu Palace and hand it over to Concubine Wen.
When the empress gave it to her, she told her that I would wait for her at the back door of Ganquan Palace."
The face of the leader of the Forbidden Army changed slightly.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes and said in a deep tone: "This matter is of great importance. It must be handed over to Concubine Wen. She will understand when she sees it."
