Erfu personally held an oil-paper umbrella, and very cordially invited Mengxi to accompany her, and said with a smile: "I've been tired of Mengxi girl waiting here for a long time, there are some things in my house that I can't get rid of temporarily, but the girl is going to rain here." ”

Mengxi raised her eyes a little puzzled, and Erfu smiled and said, "A little tea money, warm up the girl's body." ”

This is also a normal human relationship, one of the four concubines who co-ordinated the palace affairs, Concubine De Niangniang, and the palace maid in charge of the previous son, Mengxi received all kinds of rewards, which is definitely a lot of money, and even her once down-and-out family has already bought a house and landed wealth, so she didn't push and shove with Erfu because of this little money, smiled and put it in her sleeve, and politely invited Erfu into the palace gate.

Inside the palace gate, there is already a small sedan waiting there.

Erfu looked at the small sedan chair parked in front of her, and the uneasiness that was forced in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Miss Mengxi, you are the closest person to Niangniang, please be kind, just tell me, what is going on?" If it was an ordinary day, how could Erfu have been treated like this, how could she not think about it a little more, not to mention that there was Yujie's speculation that made her heart beat before.

It's just that what kind of person is Mengxi, the biggest advantage is that the mouth is tight, just like a mussel shell that can't be pried open.

She is indeed one of the few people in Yonghe Palace who knows the content of the conversation between Concubine De and Meng Jia, and she also sympathizes with Erfu's experience from the bottom of her heart, but Concubine De Niangniang didn't speak, she just sympathized with Erfu, but she wouldn't say a word, so she just smiled, and rejected Erfu's request very decisively with her movements, directly lifted the sedan curtain, and bowed down to ask Erfu to get on the sedan chair.

Seeing this, Erfu didn't want to be too demanding, sighed faintly, and followed Mengxi's meaning and stepped into the soft sedan chair.

The soft sedan chair sent by Concubine De is not big, but the two of them carry it, but it is small and exquisite, and there is a faint fragrance of jasmine in it, but unfortunately no matter how comfortable the soft sedan chair is, it can't relieve Erfu's nervousness.

In this way, she came to the gate of Yonghe Palace in a soft sedan chair with trepidation and anxiety.

got off the soft sedan chair, and there were already palace maids waiting at the gate of the palace with oil-paper umbrellas......

Although it was still drizzling outside, the little palace maid followed closely all the way to the side and took care of her, but she didn't let Erfu get wet at all, even so, Erfu entered the palace gate, and before she could bend her knees, she was greeted by Concubine De with a smile, and warmly beckoned her to drink ginger soup to warm up and ward off the cold.

"Niangniang, the concubine is really ashamed of your kindness. Erfu held the ginger soup and said with a little apprehension.

"What are you talking about, this palace is the fourth child's mother, you are the fourth child's concubine, this palace is your mother, this Yonghe Palace is your home, since you are in your own home, why are you so restrained, don't look at the weather is warm now, but this rain down, you still have to drink a bowl of ginger soup to keep warm, don't catch a cold. Concubine De put away the face of the late lady in the past, and she didn't hold the score of the palace concubine, and greeted her thoughtfully.

It's just that the more caring and compassionate Concubine De is, the more frightened Erfu becomes.

Her hands trembled as she held the hot ginger tea, and the armrested armchair was no longer comfortable, and sitting on it was like sitting on a pegboard, and her face turned white.

"What's wrong with you?" saw this, Concubine De asked with a puzzled face.

Of course, she didn't really understand the reason why Erf was so frightened, she was just deliberately pretending to be stupid.

In order not to betray the little eunuch who was kind enough to reveal his style, Erf had to cover up the fact that Uyagege gave birth to a stillborn child.

As Concubine De Niangniang's words landed, she knelt on the ground with red eyes, and choked up: "It's all because the concubine is incompetent and failed to take care of Sister Wuya and the fetus in her womb, and I ask Niangniang to forgive." After speaking, she lowered her head and cried, it was not that she was crying and fake compassion, but she unconsciously thought of the speculation that the fourth master might be in danger, and she couldn't hold back her tears with sadness.

Seeing this, Concubine De Niangniang hurriedly stepped down the high platform, and while helping Erfu, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, she comforted softly: "Get up, you can't be blamed for this."

After all, you can't be by the side of Hehe's girl day and night, if you want to blame Mama Wu, that Diao slave has no conscience, and even the children who have grown up in person can be blackmailed. After saying that, she also took out the veil tucked on her lapel, and wiped the tears on Erf's face with her own hands, as if she were the most loving elder.

However, only Concubine De's own family knows her own affairs, and she is just weak-hearted......

If it were in the past, if she learned that Erfu failed to keep the fetus of Wuya Gege, she would definitely have to clean up Erfu, because she went from the tea maid beside Emperor Kangxi to the present, what she wanted was not only her own honor, but also wanted to seal the Yin family, and she had been working hard for this goal for most of her life, and now her hope of continuing the prosperity of the Wuya clan was ruined, that is, she knew that Erfu was not to blame for this, but she couldn't treat it so peacefully, and she always had to be angry with other people, and the people around her, inside and out, there was no one more suitable than Erfu to be this punching bag。

At this time, she already suspected that the old fourteen had secretly harmed the fourth, and her heart was full of guilt, and her hopes were dashed, so what!

Compared with the continuation of the prosperity of the mother's family, the safety of the child is more important.

The more indifferent and reasonable the Concubine De became, the more panicked Erf became......

However, she also knew that Concubine De invited her to enter the palace in the rain, and it was absolutely impossible to talk about family affairs, so she just couldn't turn around and run away to continue to deceive herself, but she still sat here firmly, waiting for Concubine De to open the layer of window paper that would break if she poked.

Really......

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Concubine De and Erfu chatted for a while, and then turned the topic to the fourth master who went to the south to clear the bandits.

Erfu was shocked, and there was a little worry on his face, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to advance the topic: "The fourth master has been gone for more than a month, and I don't know how the errand is going, when I will be able to come back to hand over the errand, and the concubine is really worried about his safety."

After all, this time is different, even if it is a mere bandit, but in the end, it is necessary to start a real war.

This knife has no eyes, in case ......

Hey, the concubine has really been unable to sleep and eat for the past few days, and when she closes her eyes, she has nightmares all night long. ”

A knife to shrink the head, and a knife to stretch the head.

Erf really didn't want to continue to think so crankily, for fear that she would scare herself if all the speculation was a coincidence.

She thought so lucky, but she forgot that what Wanyi represented was a small probability event, and she also forgot what Concubine De's abnormal reaction meant......

Concubine De really didn't know how to tell Erfu the bad news......

is also a woman, although her feelings for Emperor Kangxi are not as firm as Erfu's feelings for the fourth master, but she understands better than anyone the meaning of the fourth master to all the women in the fourth master's mansion, that is, the sky above her head, and the bad news of the disappearance of the fourth master is the bad news that the sky is falling, especially for Erfu.

There is a brother who has a bad relationship with her in the past, and there are a group of scheming concubines in the back, there are really wolves in front and tigers in the back, even if Erfu has no feelings for the fourth master, I am afraid that I will have a headache at this time, not to mention that Concubine De Niangniang knows the love between Erfu and the fourth child, otherwise even if Erfu has a good temper, he will not allow Honghui to continue to live in the house, in the final analysis, this is all love and Wu!

Because of this, Concubine De didn't know how to speak......

However, just as Erfu will have the idea of 'sticking out his head and shrinking his head is also a knife', Concubine De also has this feeling, after all, the news of the disappearance of the fourth child in the southern sea is impossible to hide forever, rather than staying until the future Erfu is unprepared to face the difficulties of all parties, it is better to give her some breath first, and she is also considered to be a mother, and take care of Erfu for the fourth one time.

Thinking of this, Concubine De Niangniang waved her hand and sent away a group of servants waiting in the palace, leaving only Erfu in the hall, gritting her teeth and retelling a passage from the prefect of Zhangzhou in the letter to Meng Jia's nobleman.

Click, boom......

Outside, a muffled thunder sounded as if in line with Erph's mood.

The tears in her eyes flowed down her cheeks, she looked at Concubine De with tears in her eyes, her face was full of disbelief, and she choked up and asked: "Is this news true, could it be a rumor, after all, the emperor has not shown any words?"

"I'm the fourth child's mother, will I make such a joke with you!" Concubine De said in a deep voice.

She also hoped that the news of the fourth child's distress was a rumor, but the person who spread the news to the inner courtyard of the palace was the prefect of Zhangzhou, an official of the imperial court, how could he spread this kind of news indiscriminately, could it be that he was tired of being alive and crazy......

"If you want to cry, you can cry heartily, you can't cry like this when you go out......"

"This palace knows that you feel uncomfortable, but you are the fourth child's Fu Jin, the fourth master's mansion is in charge of the middle feed, and now the news of the fourth child's disappearance has not yet spread, once it spreads, I am afraid that your house will be chaotic, so at this time you have to hold on, you have to guard the backyard for him, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes." ”

"You have a good relationship with the fourth child, so you should learn to be strong for him. ”

"He's gone, but I'm sure he still has you in mind, and you have to reassure him. ”

"Although the palace doesn't know why the emperor didn't mention the news of the disappearance of the fourth child, this is also a good thing, at least you have time to make adequate preparations. ”

"The fourth child is a blessed person, even if he is in danger temporarily, he will definitely be able to return to the capital with all his face. ”

"Cry, cry enough, then talk to Hongu about what you plan......"

"You are also a poor child, I thought that you and the fourth child had survived, and finally got your wish come true, and you should live a smooth life in the future, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. ”

"The fourth child is missing, you have to take care of your body. ”

......

Concubine De looked at Erfu, who was crying silently, and very thoughtfully stuffed a handkerchief into Erfu's hand, so that she could have something to wipe her tears, and at the same time kept talking comforting words, until her saliva was dry and her throat was hoarse, and Erfu stopped crying with a sob.

She pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Niangniang, I'm going to the south to find him." ”

Although Erfu did not swear to express her determination to find the fourth master, her tone was firm and solemn, and her eyes were full of unwavering determination, and she was not asking for Concubine De's consent, but more like informing Concubine De Niangniang what she was going to do, which made Concubine De Niangniang not know how to refuse.

In the end, Concubine De had one reason left, and that was to ......

"You're a woman's house, and you can't even figure out which way to open the city gate of Sijiu City, what can you do when you go?"

However, this reason could not stop Erfu, who had already made up his mind, Erfu wiped away the tears on his face, and explained clearly: "Niangniang, listen to me, although I am a woman who does not know much, but I am a famous and well-known Sifujin in the jade book, enjoying the respect of the prince, with me sitting in the south, those officials in the south who think that the emperor is far away dare not be perfunctory in the matter of searching for the fourth master, which is good for finding the fourth master." ”

"What kind of reason is this, there are thirteen and fourteen people over there, and you are not a deep girl. ”

"Niangniang, the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are princes, with noble status, and command the sailors, but in the end, they are bald brothers, and there is no title in them, I am afraid that the order will not move those local officials who are quite high, and I am different, I am not only the emperor's personal title of Prince Yong Fujin, but I also have a caravan of goods through the north and south, that is, far away on the coast, there are also businesses over there, don't worry about no one to help search, not to mention one more person, one more force!"

"Then what about this side of your house, you don't care?" Concubine De was speechless by Erfu's words, and was stunned for a while, and then squeezed out a somewhat reluctant reason to block from between her teeth.

"Niangniang, you are one of the four concubines in charge of the palace affairs in the inner courtyard of the palace, it is too easy to take care of the prince's mansion temporarily!"

"You made a decision on the spur of the moment now, and this palace won't argue with you much, you go back and think about it. ”

"Mother, I have made up my mind, this is not an impulse. ”

"Okay, even if you are not impulsive, you are a maid in the house who wants to leave Beijing to go so far to the south, you have to go back to prepare for it, and the emperor is here, it is not for you to call the shots, you still need the emperor's grace, you better go back and think about it, maybe before you leave Beijing, there is already good news coming back!" Concubine De looked at Erfu's bloodshot eyes, and could no longer say anything to refuse, so she had to throw out a procrastination trick and directly issued an eviction order.

Erfu walked out of the main hall step by step, stood at the gate of Yonghe Palace and was stunned for a moment, and stepped into the rain curtain.

She had already made up her mind, she was going to the Qianqing Palace to ask Emperor Kangxi for a request.
