Chapter 1428
After listening to Erfu's last words, Shilan and Shiqing panicked even more.
It's just that they didn't know how to help Erfu, so they could only follow Erfu's instructions in a daze, dress up and change clothes for Erfu, and wait for Erfu to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion with the messenger eunuch.
"The master took Qinglan away?" Shilan asked in disbelief at what was happening in front of her.
Shiqing nodded with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "Yes, I didn't expect that when it was so dangerous, the person who accompanied the master was not you, nor me, but her, a wandering bystander." ”
"Maybe the master thinks that she is a palace maid, and when dealing with some emergencies, there are more ways to deal with it!"
"Perhaps, but I always feel that the master's arrangement is to guard against her. Poetry looked at Erf's departing back and muttered in a low voice.
"So what do we do now?" asked Shilan.
Shiqing shook his head blankly, "Wait, if our master hasn't come back in the evening, let's follow the master's instructions, one will go to Tingyu Pavilion to take care of Xiao Qigege, and the other will go to Ning Yuantang in the front yard to take care of Brother Hongyu, which is also the only thing we can do for our master." ”
After saying that, she walked into the courtyard without waiting for Shilan's answer.
She was a little sad by this oppressive atmosphere, and the tears swirling in her eye sockets were about to flow out, in order not to lose face in front of the other palace maids and servants, and in order not to let the other palace maids and servants in the courtyard think nonsense, she had to find a place where no one was there and be quiet.
Shiqing turned and left, and Shilan followed suit.
When she passed by the courtyard, she did not forget to instruct the maid to clean up the fallen leaves and dust in the courtyard, and maintained the same style as usual, but the hands she kept in her sleeves had already been clenched into fists.
Besides, Erfu's side, it was the first time that she entered the palace in a soft sedan chair sent out by the palace!
After experiencing the initial panic, she was very curious, so she looked at the furnishings in the sedan chair.
Different from the two-person sedan chair that is used in the house, the sedan chair carried by four people is more spacious and atmospheric, the bottom of the sedan chair is covered with a soft and thick carpet, there are handrails carved with dragons and phoenixes on both sides of the seat, and a small number is inlaid on the side, with various kinds of snacks and warm tea.
It's just that the ladies in this palace are not easy to guess, although Erfu is a little relieved, but it is still difficult to smile, and she doesn't dare to move any food, so she came to Concubine De Niangniang stiffly.
Concubine De did not see Erfu in the main hall, but waited in the side hall, sitting on the couch very casually.
——————
After all, this dart master is a foreign man, that is, she has Shilan and Qinglan around to serve, but it is not safe enough, so before Erfu went out, she specially called Zhao Dezhu over, and Zhao Dezhu will be useful at this time, because the dart master can't get up with his own ability alone, and among the people present, Zhao Dezhu used to support him, which was the most suitable arrangement.
Seeing this, Zhao Dezhu came to the dart master who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up, and pulled the weak dart master from the ground in three or two times, in order to prevent the dart master from falling to the ground again, he also stood next to the dart master very kindly, so that he would not collapse to the ground with a weak body.
She looked at the pale dart master with a smile, raised her finger to the armrest chair behind the dart master, and motioned for Zhao Dezhu to help him sit down first, and then said slowly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a man-eating tiger, you just want me to be an ordinary lady!"
"Fujin, grass people...... Villain......" The dart master stumbled and tried to reply, but he couldn't even call it a name.
Seeing this, Erfu had a gentle and quiet smile on his face, raised his hand to interrupt his stumbling answer, and continued to persuade: "Don't be afraid, take a sip of tea to calm down, I'll wait for you, don't be in a hurry to reply." ”
After saying that, she asked Shilan to deliver the cup of hot tea she had just placed at her hand to the dart master.
The dart master took the tea bowl and drank it in three or two sips, but he ignored the temperature of the tea, and stretched his neck so hot that he finally eased up, but he was really not as nervous as he was just now.
He put the empty tea bowl, which didn't even have a few pieces of tea left, on the small table at hand, and put it between his legs, thinking back to the way he looked when he was dealing with the officials, and adjusted his posture a little rustily, so that his appearance was not too cringe, and then he talked about his intention without saying anything.
At the same time, he took out the crumpled secret letter from his arms, and handed it to Shilan, who was waiting by Erfu's side, along with the jade pendant in his hand, so that Erfu could look at it.
Originally, when Feng Bao handed over this letter to him, he made it clear that he must personally hand over this letter to the owner of Prince Yong's mansion, that is, Prince Yong, because he was afraid that Erfu, the concubine Fujin, would have bad intentions and deliberately conceal the existence of this secret letter.
But the dart master was already frightened, and he couldn't care about it at all.
He didn't even want a reward now, he just hoped to leave this mansion that was exquisite, luxurious, and elegant.
In short, Erfu is not a vicious housewife under Feng Bao's villain's heart.
With trembling hands, she opened the envelope sealed with fire paint, took out a neatly folded piece of letter paper inside, just took a cursory glance, her face was full of horror, she stood up suddenly, and the Taishi chair sitting under her moved two inches, and hurriedly ordered Zhao Dezhu to go to the front yard to invite Chen Fu to come over to confirm the ownership of the jade pendant and the authenticity of the secret letter.
Of course, she already believed the contents of the letter in her heart.
Erfu asked Zhao Dezhu to invite Chen Fu over, that is, to go through the motions, and by the way, let Chen Fu take over the matter, so as to facilitate the transmission of the message to the fourth master in the palace, and also to avoid those female relatives in the back house from taking the opportunity to splash sewage on their heads.
And the dart master sitting next to him saw that Erf was so flustered, and he also became afraid.
His mind was full of his own dart head talking to them about the embarrassing appearance of being frightened and frightened when he talked to them about the private affairs of those wealthy families in his spare time, and now he looked at the appearance of Chang Fujin, as if he had inadvertently bumped into something big, he was a little worried about whether his little life could be saved, and if he knew that this was the case, he should have thrown this letter into the ditch on the side of the road according to the instructions of his dart head, and it was out of sight.
The dart master thought in a mess, this dart master who knew that his face was right, and his face also brought out all the thoughts in his heart, Erfu didn't notice it, but Shilan, who was with Erfu, saw this scene in her eyes, and she hurriedly reminded her master to pay attention, don't scare this poor little dart master crazy.
Erfu got Shilan's hint, looked back at the dart master with a smile, and asked softly: "You don't have to be nervous, you can send this secret letter to me thousands of miles away for an agreement, you are a person who has great kindness to me and the prince, but you see that you have been in for so long, I haven't had time to ask the benefactor's surname, it's really rude, please don't mind!"
After speaking, she hurriedly instructed the servants who were waiting in the corridor to send four-color snacks and dried fruit boxes to eat according to the rules of the house when receiving distinguished guests.
When the dart master heard this, his face showed a little cowardice, and he didn't dare to reply: "The little one's surname is Liao, and his name is the third son." ”
"I can see that Little Brother Liao is a trustworthy person, and it is thanks to Feng Bao that he met you, otherwise we don't know the whereabouts of their group, but I also have a few questions I want to ask you, they are all small questions, don't be nervous. Erph asked with a smile on her head.
She then asked where Liao Xiaoge met Feng Bao and his party, and where he was separated from Feng Bao and his party, how many people Feng Bao and the others were at that time, how did they call each other, and what things had happened on the way, anyway, they tried to inquire about the whereabouts of Feng Bao and others from Liao Xiaoge's mouth.
Because the content in the secret letter is too simple and thin, even where Honghui lives has never been said, nor has it been said what danger they have encountered, the only thing that makes Erfu feel suspicious is that they met Xinggege who escaped from the mansion in Jiangnan, and then it is the content of the sad words asking the fourth master to send troops to rescue, I really don't know how a person like Feng Bao became a big eunuch with a face in front of the eldest brother of the mansion, this is simply a waste of dim sum......
However, no matter how Erfu complained about Feng Bao in his heart, he couldn't help but admit that Feng Bao had done a smart thing, at least he sent a signal for help, and also let the mansion have a clue to check, otherwise I am afraid that Honghui will die outside silently, and there is no news in this mansion, which is called a great tragedy!
Just as Erfu and Liao Sanzi were working on the words, Chen Fu had already been invited to come outside the flower hall.
As soon as Erfu saw Chen Fu, she didn't plan to continue to get involved in this matter, she beckoned Chen Fu to come in with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and without even a trace of hesitation, she introduced Liao Sanzi and Chen Fu, and at the same time shared the messages she took out of Liao Sanzi's mouth to Chen Fu, and finally stuffed the secret letter into Chen Fu's hand, and she planned to leave the flower hall with a successful retreat.
It's just that before she could get up and leave, Liao Sanzi fell on her with a sad face.
Erfu could see the meaning in Liao Sanzi's eyes, it was nothing more than that Erfu would ignore him after asking, afraid that he would not be able to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion alive, and hoped that Erfu could sit here and give him strong courage, but he didn't dare to say these words, so he could only look at her with that kind of wet eyes like a puppy to express his heart.
I have to say that Erfu's personality charm is really strong enough, and he has won the trust of Liao Sanzi in a short period of time.
She saw that Liao Sanzi trusted herself so much, and she looked like her net worth and life were entrusted to her, so she couldn't throw her sleeves away as irresponsibly as she thought in her heart, so she could only sit back on the Taishi chair with an embarrassed face, and said for herself: "I originally planned to let Zhao Dezhu send a message to the prince, but this palace is strictly forbidden, and not everyone can go to the palace casually, so I can only trouble Chen Fu and Chen Gonggong."
Besides, please also see if this jade pendant is the right card used by the maid in the front yard and the authenticity of this letter.
After all, this thing is true, then the prince must come forward to find Honghui's whereabouts in person, and it may even alarm the emperor, if it is not true, then it is also necessary to find out what kind of plan the person behind the arrangement of this matter is!"
After speaking, she smiled and picked up the warm tea in her hand, sipped it gently, and waited for Chen Fu to give an answer.
In fact, even if Chen Fu didn't give an answer, Erfu had already confirmed that the secret letter was true, because she didn't think anyone would joke about this kind of thing, and besides, the pair of cards, some faceless palace maids and servants in this house knew it, and even Shilan around her could recognize it as true or false, she would let Chen Fu confirm the authenticity of it, but she didn't want this bad news to come out of her mouth.
Chen Fu didn't make a big deal, he took the things and retreated to the side in a regular manner, just glanced at it twice, and already had the answer in his heart, he nodded solemnly at Erfu, and gave a positive answer: "Fu Jin, the slave should hurry up to send a message to the prince in the palace, and ask Fu Jin to forgive the slave for being rude, and retire." ”
"Go ahead. Erff bowed slightly, and replied softly.
When Chen Fu heard this, his face showed a little embarrassment, and his eyes slid to Liao Sanzi, the dart master sitting next to him.
His meaning is very clear, he wants to bring Liao Sanzi to his own territory for a good interrogation, but seeing that Erfu treats Liao Sanzi very kindly, and looks like he wants to protect Liao Sanzi, he is not good to ask for someone directly, after all, it also involves some embarrassing relationship between Erfu and Honghui, and he is afraid that some of his natural actions will cause the disgust of this concubine.
When Erfu, who was still sitting at the top, saw him so uncertain, he took the initiative to open his mouth to relieve him and mentioned: "Liao Sanzi has a meritorious service in sending the letter, and he is a benefactor in our house, I also plan to keep him in the house for a few days, if you have any questions you want to ask later, just go to the guest house to find him." ”
After speaking, she fell on Liao Sanzi's body again, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, you have a meritorious service in sending the letter, and the prince and I have to thank you well, you can stay in the guest house for a few days with peace of mind, and when this matter passes, I have a heavy reward here, and I will not be stingy with rewards when I want to come to the prince's side, maybe you don't have to go south and north to beg for a life in the future." ”
Liao Sanzi also knew that it was impossible for him to leave the palace immediately, after all, he also heard that this secret letter involved the safety of a little brother in Prince Yong's mansion, and he was so assured by Erfu, so he had to go down the slope and nodded, and replied respectfully: "That villain will listen to Fujin's arrangement!"
"Okay, then Gonggong Chen will trouble you to take Little Brother Liao to the guest house to settle down!" Seeing this, Erfu said with a smile.
