However, when she picked up the pigeon, she couldn't help but notice something was wrong - what she shot seemed to be a homing pigeon! There was something tied to its leg...
"Why are you so stunned?" Seeing Su Tong squatting still, Xuanyuan Hao in the distance couldn't help but remind her.
"Just come, come." Su Tong responded quickly, quickly untied the pigeon's legs, hid it in his pocket, and then ran back with the pigeon...
As soon as the queen returned to the palace, she looked restless.
Even when the emperor wanted to stay the night, she found an excuse and sent him away.
"Xiao Guizi, have all the pigeons raised by this palace been taken back?" As soon as the emperor left, the queen called her confidant eunuch and asked nervously.
"Except for the one shot down by the third princess today, they are all here." Xiao Guizi lowered her voice and secretly brought in a cage from outside.
"Put it down, put it down, I have to find it myself." The queen seemed to be going crazy, opening the cage and checking the pigeons one by one, but found that there was nothing on their feet.
broken……
The queen's heart tightened. Could it be that the thing was on the pigeon's foot?
What a coincidence!
"The Empress, I'm afraid..." Xiao Guizi hesitated for a while, and finally said obediently, "When I was leaving, I caught a glimpse of the third princess carrying the pigeon and I don't know what she was looking at. I guess..."
"It's in her hand!" the queen said firmly, angrily throwing the dove in her hand to the ground, "it must be in her hand!"
The pigeon in her hand was smashed to the ground hard, and her head hit the marble on the ground with a "bump". After fluttering twice, there was no movement.
"Empress!" Xiao Guizi exclaimed, "Don't be angry! The Lord has only given you a few pigeons in total. Without them, you will not be able to contact the Lord in the future."
"Humph!" snorted coldly, the queen flicked her sleeves, "Take all these pigeons out."
"Yes." Xiao Guizi responded, grabbed the pigeon back into the cage, and quickly retreated.
The queen still did not calm down. She paced back and forth nervously in the room, clenching her fists tightly - what should she do if the things given to her by the Lord fell into the hands of others...
The Lord will definitely kill her!
Moreover, she has been hiding for so many years, and her revenge plan has only begun to make progress... If she loses this thing, all her efforts will be in vain!
"Xiao Guizi!" After hesitating for a long time, the queen finally couldn't help but slapped the table with a "ping" sound and shouted outside the room.
"Empress, what are your orders?" Xiao Guizi rushed in with pigeon feathers still on his sleeves. When he saw the queen's angry face, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart - the empress wouldn't offend him because of the pigeons, right?
?
"Are you sure you saw the third princess getting something from the pigeon's leg?" With a cold snort, the queen spoke calmly.
"I'm not sure, but it's true that she was holding the pigeon and watching it for a long time. I was far away and didn't see it clearly..." Xiao Guizi told the truth and didn't dare to hide anything.
"Then you go and send a message to me. Let the third princess enter the palace tomorrow. I want to have a chat with her." She frowned and the queen spoke coldly. When the little eunuch walked out, she added, "Also, your respect,
As for the Lord, don’t let him know about it yet.”
"Yes." The eunuch nodded and walked out with a solemn expression.
After dinner, Su Tong went back to the room early, and then she remembered to take a look at the things tied to the pigeon's feet.
She was really curious - just imagine, how could a homing pigeon fly to a place like the Royal Hunting Ground? Could it be that the owner of the pigeon was there?
Unfolding the small paper bag, there was a piece of soft silk cloth inside. Su Tong frowned and continued to open the silk cloth, and found a small strange-shaped stone inside.
She couldn't help but feel depressed - isn't it just a small stone? And it's tied to the pigeon's leg and flying around?! Isn't this cruelty to the pigeon?
Just as she was about to raise her hand to throw away the small stone, Su Tong suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a line of small words written on the small piece of silk cloth. After a closer look, it was the time "Noon on the ninth day of the lunar month".
The ninth day of the lunar month? That’s the day after tomorrow...
What happened at noon the day after tomorrow? Was it some kind of prank?
Feeling more and more strange, Su Tong simply wrapped the small stone in silk cloth, opened the window, threw it outside, and ignored it...
"Knock knock" There were two knocks at the door. Su Tong came to her senses and ran over to open the door.
Xiaolu walked in excitedly, holding an exquisite food box in his hand: "Princess, you are so lucky! You see, the Queen loves you so much!"
"Why do you say that?" Su Tong was stunned. Seeing Xiao Lu busy taking out the contents of the food box, she couldn't help but get curious and asked, "Why is the pastry today so much more delicate than usual?"
"This is what the Queen sent to you just now!" Xiao Lu said happily and added, "The Queen also invites you to chat in the palace tomorrow!"
"Go to the palace?" Su Tong suddenly became powerless. What she hated the most was the palace!
"Why, the princess seems to hate entering the palace?" Just when she was hesitating how to refuse, a familiar voice came over...
