Chapter 8: Escape
That night, Prince Xiang's mansion was quiet, and in the dark, Qin Xiaoruo tiptoed to lift the quilt, and she was already dressed and ready to escape.
She couldn't stay here any longer, and she didn't want to see anyone in the garden again.
When she opened the door, she was startled when she bumped into Liu'er in the dark, Liu'er made a movement, and the two walked into the house.
"Liu'er!" Qin Xiaoruo hurriedly explained.
Liu Er shook her head and said, "Gege, you can't get out of this dress, hurry up, change into my clothes." ”
Qin Xiaoruo understood, looked at Liu'er with emotion, and said, "Liu'er, thank you!"
Liu Er shook her head with tears: "Liu Er grew up with Gege since she was a child, as long as Gege is good, Liu Er is fine." ”
"What a girl!" Qin Xiaoruo said gratefully.
Liu Er had already taken off her clothes, quickly changed them for Qin Xiaoruo, and put the waist card in her hand: "Gege, be careful!"
"What about you, will you be safe?" Qin Xiaoruo asked worriedly.
"I'll pretend I'm knocked unconscious, it's fine. Liu Er said.
Qin Xiaoruo shook Liu Er's hand tightly and said, "I will definitely take you back." ”
Liu Er nodded deeply and said, "I must wait for Gege." “
After the two said goodbye, Qin Xiaoruo took the waist card and left in a hurry.
The gate guard stood straight and asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Qin Xiaoruo lowered his head and whispered, "Fujin is suddenly ill, please go to the imperial doctor." ”
The guards immediately opened the door and let her out, then closed the door again.
As soon as she went out, Qin Xiaoruo's heart was relieved! Now, she was going to find Fulin, the man who loved her was definitely delayed for an unsolvable reason, and she must be in a hurry, she wanted to go back to his side, to the place that should belong to her-Chengqian Palace.
I don't know why, she actually knows the way to the palace.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, it was not yet dawn, and the gate of the tall and magnificent palace was closed.
She kept walking back and forth in and out of the palace, waiting for dawn. With the waist card of Prince Xiang's mansion, he also entered the palace gate.
Chengqian Palace
There are a few palace maids cleaning.
Qin Xiaoruo saw the broom leaning in the pavilion at a glance, walked over and picked it up, and cleaned it with vigilance.
"It seems that we will have to stay in this Chengqian Palace in the future and serve the emperor's newly appointed concubine. ”
The palace maid was chatting, and Qin Xiaoruo listened.
"I don't know if Concubine Xian is good or not, if it's like Concubine Jing, we will be guilty. ”
……
"Hey!" Suddenly, someone slapped Qin Xiaoruo the back, so frightened that her broom fell off, and she immediately picked it up again, lowered her head and didn't speak.
"Where are you from, why are you dressed like this?"
Qin Xiaoruo replied in a low voice: "I was arranged by Father-in-law Ying, saying that there are not enough people, so I will leave after cleaning." ”
"You're here when it's all cleaned?" another palace maid shouted dissatisfiedly.
Qin Xiaoruo was afraid that she would shout, so he immediately put down the broom and walked into the hall.
Several palace maids looked at her, and after discussing for a while, they all followed after a while.
As soon as several palace maids entered the hall, Qin Xiaoruo immediately closed the door.
"Hey, what's the matter with you!" the palace maid complained angrily.
"I am the virtuous concubine, I was put out of the palace gate when I was in danger, my waist card was robbed, and I borrowed the palace maid's clothes to come in. Qin Xiaoruo said cautiously.
The palace maids were stunned.
Qin Xiaoruo saw that everyone had doubts, and said: "Pretending to be a mother is a crime of killing the head, how dare this palace?"
As soon as these words came out, all the palace maids immediately saluted: "Concubine Xian, auspicious!"
"This palace asks the sisters for one thing, can you?"
"Mother, please command. The palace ladies responded.
Qin Xiaoruo immediately sat down at the calligraphy and painting table, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "The pear blossom is fragrant in the pear blossom tree, and the pear blossom is in the tears!
If so, a few copies.
After writing, I tore up a few copies of the paper, folded it tightly, put it in the hands of several palace maids, and cautiously advised: "You act separately, no matter what method you use, please help me hand it over to the emperor. ”
"Slaves obey!"
After the palace maids saluted, they hurried away.
The palace maids walked cautiously along the way, and one of the palace maids was caught by Concubine Jing who was admiring the flowers in the lotus pond.
"Stop!" Concubine Jing walked over and said angrily, "Where are you sneaking around?"
"The slave is going to the Chengqian Palace to clean. The palace maid said in a panic.
"Still cleaning? The virtuous concubine can't stand, what else is she sweeping!"
"Slave damn it! Slave just obey orders!" the palace maid bowed her head and apologized.
"Let's go!" Concubine Jing pursed her lips, raised her handkerchief, and said proudly, "Concubine Xian!" and then showed a shameful expression.
The palace maid stood up nervously and walked nervously.
Concubine Jing saw that she was inappropriate and stopped her.
The palace maid was so frightened by Concubine Jing's shout that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Concubine Jing saw that she was holding on to her one hand and couldn't open it, so she glanced at the palace maid who was close to her and said, "Distinguish her hand and see what is hidden." ”
The palace maid walked over, forcibly discerned her clinging hand, and took out a note.
The palace maid saw that she was seen through by Concubine Jing, and kept crying and begging for mercy.
Concubine Jing took the note, opened it, trembled with fright, and said fiercely to the palace maid: "I'll clean you up later!" and hurriedly left, and the palace maid hurriedly followed.
The palace maid was still kneeling, trembling with fright.
Concubine Jing really walked into Cining Palace, ignored the palace maid and eunuch and saluted her, shouting as she walked: "Auntie, this woman!"
Concubine Jing walked into the inner hall and saw Prince Xiang Bogol kneeling on the ground, crying and saying something.
The Queen Mother said angrily: "You said, such a big prince's mansion, so many subordinates, lost a mother, I don't know!"
"Huang Eniang!" Bogol cried like a child: "The imperial brother disregarded the royal face, and sneaked into the prince's mansion in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with my side Fujin. ”
"It's... It's a great shame!" the Queen Mother gritted her teeth in anger. These words are not that the emperor is angry and hates Dong E's for not abiding by women's ways.
"It's not that it's lost, it's that it's escaped!" Concubine Jing's eyes widened, and she interjected very imposingly.
"Escaped?" the Queen Mother and Bogol turned to look at her at the same time.
"Auntie, look!" Concubine Jing walked up to the Queen Mother, opened the note, and Bogol also stood up and leaned over to look.
"This is simply ridiculous!" the Queen Mother trembled with anger.
"How can this be!" said Bogol, angrily brushing his sleeves away.
"Auntie, we have to go one step ahead of the emperor and take care of her!" Concubine Jing said sinisterly.
"Let's go!" the Queen Mother agreed, at this moment, she couldn't wait to break Dong E's corpse into pieces.
"The Queen Mother is driving!" the eunuch shouted.
Just as he was about to start, the eunuch said: "The queen has arrived!"
The crowd stopped.
The Queen Mother watched the queen come slowly, she looked gentle and demure, and the corners of her mouth always seemed to outline a faint smile.
"Sister, the emperor is going to appoint a favorite concubine, your queen's position can't be kept, let's go and take care of her!" Concubine Jing said impatiently.
The queen mother hesitated for a while, obviously unhappy, but she didn't want to show it, she muffled for a while, and said: "My sister doesn't go, the emperor is still young, and in his life for decades, how many concubines can be set up, countless, how can he do everything? Besides, in this way, the emperor still hates me!"
The Queen Mother looked at her, what a gentle girl, I hope she can be pampered.
"Queen Mother, since you have something to do, the concubine will retire first!" the queen mother saluted, hiding all the words she was going to tell in her heart.
The queen turned around, sat on the sedan chair, and everyone got up and left.
The Empress Dowager looked at her back and said with a deep sigh: "How can such a beautiful and well-behaved girl live in the harem? If the mourning family is not there, she will not even see the shadow of the emperor." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head lightly and sighed.
"Let's go!" said the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother is driving!"
Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs accompanied him imposingly.
