"Are you so confident in leaving Ru'er and the others to me?"
"I believe this is God's grace. With the girl here, maybe they still have a chance."
Meng Xinzhu looked at Concubine Zhu, is this the so-called fate? I don’t know why I came here, let alone how to get back. This is the palace, and it is difficult to leave with my current physical condition. There is still a dull pain in my right chest.
She really needs a good rest. It seems that staying is the best choice for her own sake. She looked at Zhu Fei again, what is most important to her now? It is survival, how to survive in this unknown time and space! Finally,
She closed her eyes and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Seeing Meng Xinzhu's promise, Concubine Zhu smiled, and she could leave with peace of mind. After leaving on the night patrol with the forbidden soldiers, Meng Xinzhu left Concubine Zhu through the back door and went to the Cold Palace. The Cold Palace was truly "cold".
There are only those former empresses and concubines who have passed away, and there are no maids or eunuchs. I really don’t know how they live their daily lives.
After putting Concubine Zhu in a room, Concubine Zhu carefully talked to Meng Xinzhu about her usual preferences and told her what she should pay attention to. Finally, she took Meng Xinzhu's hand and said: "Good sister, I know I'm embarrassing you, but
Thank you very much for agreeing, and Ru’er and the others will be left to you from now on.”
"Since I promised you, don't worry." Meng Xinzhu covered her with a quilt, "Take care, I will come to see you."
"Good sister," Concubine Zhu stared at Meng Xinzhu, "If I had eyes like yours, I probably wouldn't have spent ten years of my youth here."
Concubine Bamboo is not from the Yue Kingdom, she is the princess of the Ye Kingdom, the smallest vassal state of the Yue Kingdom. She entered the palace with the princesses of other vassal states when she was twelve years old. She only saw her husband from a distance during the canonization ceremony.
After that, she lived a lonely life in Zhuyuan for ten years. She had been weak since she was a child, and she had been unable to adapt to the climate since she arrived in the Moon Kingdom. Her health was deteriorating, and she didn't feel better after taking many medicines, and eventually she reached the end of her life.
Meng Xinzhu sneaked back to the Bamboo Garden, took a look at Concubine Zhu's room, and couldn't help stroking the guqin on the table. This was brought by her from Ye Country, and there were also several books on the table, all of which were written by her.
The last remaining dowry. Meng Xinzhu stood by the window, smelling the smell of medicine in the room, and fell into deep thought...
Xiao Zhao stayed with the Imperial Guards all night, walking through all the hidden places in the palace where he could hide, but found nothing. The Imperial Guards didn't know what the emperor's personal bodyguard was looking for, and asked
He didn't say anything, but he had no choice but to follow the search. It was already dawn, and Xiao Zhao ordered the commanders of the imperial army to strengthen the guards at the palace gates. All persons entering and exiting must be carefully checked. The imperial army guessed that it was the palace gates.
Something happened inside, I don’t know if something was lost or..., but no one dared to ask clearly, so they had to follow Xiao Zhao’s words carefully.
Xiao Zhao returned to the imperial study, where Hongde Longqiu was already reading the memorial.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I searched all night and still can't find it." Xiao Zhao knelt down and said.
"Oh?" Hongde Longqiu couldn't help but smile. Xiao Zhao was a top-notch bodyguard around him and an expert in tracking. That woman could actually escape from him. She was quite capable. "So, she left.
It’s the palace.”
"That's not necessarily the case. I have just checked all the outer palace walls, and there are no signs of being climbed. The stick I hit on her chest yesterday will not kill her, but it will definitely hurt her muscles. Last night she
It is impossible to use Qinggong to get out of the palace. Besides, I may not know how to use Qinggong when I see her, otherwise there would be no need to run away last night."
Hongde Longqiu left the throne and began to play with the hair again, "So, she should still be in the palace."
"Yes, I have ordered the palace gates to strictly check the entrance and exit, and placed hidden chess pieces on the palace wall. If anyone wants to fly over the palace wall, he will be caught."
"Okay, okay!" Hongde Longqiu rubbed his forehead. Her kick last night was really hard. It was the first time that she was hit by a woman. "Xiao Zhao, is it possible that that woman is from the palace?
people?"
"It is also possible that I have informed the Imperial Hospital that anyone who needs medical treatment for injuries in recent days will be reported here. However, I don't think it is likely. Everyone in the palace knows that Yuekang Mountain cannot be visited casually, and she is not familiar with the palace.
The terrain inside, and more importantly, she does not seem to recognize the emperor, of course, it cannot be ruled out that she deliberately pretended not to recognize him."
Hongde Longqiu raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Xiao Zhao was right. This woman probably didn't recognize him. But in the palace, even the lowest maids and eunuchs recognized him. How could this woman not recognize the emperor?
?If she is pretending, it is obvious that her purpose is not ordinary! A smile appears in the corner of Hongde Longqiu's mouth. No matter what, she must be caught!
The next day, Meng Xinzhu felt as if she was back in the washing machine. The world was spinning and her body was in pain. Finally, she felt someone nudging her. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a little girl calling her, "
Empress! Empress!"
"Ah!" Meng Xinzhu rubbed her temples, her whole head was about to explode with a headache, "What's the matter?"
"Madam, it's time for lunch."
Lunch? Meng Xinzhu looked out the window, but the sun was already shining brightly. She was too tired last night and slept long enough this time. She smiled at the little palace maid. Although her whole body ached, she still got up. Last night she
Hide the rock climbing clothes and put on Zhu Fei's clothes. These ancient clothes are really troublesome. It took Meng Xinzhu a long time to figure out how to dress like this. However, Zhu Fei is not too tall, and Meng Xinzhu's clothes are a little too short. Alas
, Forget it, let’s settle for now. Lunch consists of four light dishes and one soup. It seems that the diet of the disgraced concubine is inferior to others, but this is just to Meng Xinzhu’s taste, but she has a splitting headache now, and she doesn’t have it.
Taste.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" the little palace maid asked, "Do you have a headache again? Let me rub it with lotus flowers for you."
Although this girl is young, her massage skills are not bad. Meng Xinzhu was very comfortable being pressed by her, and her headaches were relieved a little. It seems that this concubine Zhu often suffers from headaches. Fortunately, she is injured now and her face does not look bad.
It's so beautiful that you can pretend to be sick, otherwise you may end up in trouble. But she still has to find a chance to get some medicine. Naturally, the recovery from this injury will be slow, and it may leave sequelae. She was thinking about the other one that is bigger.
The palace maid came in with a bowl of medicine. Zhu Fei once said that there were three servants in Zhuyuan, and this palace maid should be Ru'er.
