Chapter 451: The Storm Rises (23)

"Hey, did you get what you wanted? ”

Xia Qing had just returned to the night patrol team, and the round-faced palace people couldn't wait to come up.

"No, it's very tightly guarded inside........"

Xia Qing only remembered at this time that she felt sorry for her big piece of gold. She hadn't seen this gold when she was in the Drunken Immortal Tower, and now she gave it to the female official for nothing, the point is that she didn't find any clues in the Shaohua Palace, let alone the thing she was looking for.

"yes, didn't I tell you. This Shaohua Palace is the palace that the emperor cares about the most, and the people in it are not comfortable. ”

The round-faced palace man took the hand of another palace person, with a gentle and clever smile on his face, "After I went in once before, I don't want to go in this life." ”

She winked at Xia Qing, "But I know, you shouldn't want to go in this time." After all, it should be empty by now........"

Xia Qing turned his head and watched Shaohua Palace slowly disappear in front of his eyes, and the thick darkness was hidden into the darkness again, slowly, slowly, and no longer appeared.

"Where are we going next?"

"Basically, those mothers who don't have a lot of status will only look at the door, and won't go in and ask in detail, but the status of Fang Concubine Niangniang is also high, and I should go to see it today. ”

The people of the round-faced palace thought that Xia Qing was asking if she would go to Concubine Fang.

"Fang Concubine Niangniang...... Is it?"

Xia Qing remembered the last time she was there, and suddenly she didn't dare to go to Concubine Fang's palace. Her intuition told her that this woman was not a good kind either. Ordinary people, how can they not be favored by the emperor and still stand in the harem for many years, and their status can only rise but not fall.

"Yes, your own main palace. Don't the night watchmen go in on weekdays?"

On weekdays, how could she possibly know about things on weekdays.........

"On weekdays, I guess I should be inside. Because these are all Sister Pingzi busy, I'm usually in there, so I don't know much about it....... but people as conscientious as my sisters will definitely go in and have a look. ”

Xia Qing smiled very stiffly, this lie is really not up to standard, and it is a loophole when you hear it casually.

"Yes. That's normal, I was still talking to this kid just now, why I never saw you when I went to Concubine Fang before, and now I know. ”

"yes, I've always been in there, it's strange that you can see me......."

Xia Qing got off the donkey down the slope, and the lies came one after another,

"If it weren't for Sister Pingzi asking me to come here this time, I wouldn't have known that there were night watchmen in the palace. ”

"That's right, what's not in the palace? But I think about it, in this palace, it's true that everything else can be easily solved with money except sincerity........

Xia Qing pursed her lips, a little unable to laugh.

If you stay in the palace for a long time, you will become the same as the round-faced palace people, and they will no longer be willing to trust others.

"Perhaps, you have some misunderstanding about the palace people...... At least for now, it seems to me that you and this sister are very good people, and you saved my life........"

Xia Qing knew that patting her ass at the right time could win a person's favor, and in fact, she also successfully aroused the interest of a woman who had little confidence in her.

"But I have to say, although you look stupid, but you are better than anyone else at the critical moment. Shhhh ”

The corners of Xia Qing's mouth twitched, and she took back all the words that had been in her mouth. At this time, it's better for her not to say anything. She's stupid, she admits it.

Walking all the way to the depths of the harem, I met many palace people passing by with lanterns along the way.

Today's Imperial Palace is bustling even at night.

Today is the day when the emperor won the rebel party, and today is also the day when the ghost-faced general class returned to the dynasty.

In this battle, General Ghostface did a lot, which made Xia Qing have inexplicable annoying feelings for General Ghostface, who didn't want to do much with her.

If it weren't for him, today's plan might still have succeeded, right?

"When will the dinner in the palace end tonight?"

Xia Qing turned his head and asked the round-faced palace man.

"Today's dinner, the one that picks up the wind and washes the dust for the ghost-faced general?"

Xia Qing nodded desperately.

"It's hard to say this kind of dinner. Today, the emperor only called the ghost face general to drink there, and at first glance, he wanted to drink without getting drunk and not returning, and it would definitely not end for a while. ”

She couldn't help but frown, her face worried.

In this way, the emperor may not sleep all night, which means that the guards in that place will also work harder than any day on weekdays.

So what will happen to Qu Ziyan who just goes there?

Xia Qing unconsciously became worried about this guy again.

"You don't look good, what's wrong with you?"

The round-faced palace people could see the abnormality at a glance.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've just walked back from there, and I'm probably a little tired. ”

Xia Qing turned her head, not wanting the round-faced palace people to look at her face anymore.

Her face must be very pale now, and it must be ugly.

"If you're not feeling well, go back first. The meeting should also be to go to Concubine Fang's Cuizhuxuan, you can go there and quietly insert yourself back into the team when the time comes, and no one will notice. ”

"Is this really okay?"

Xia Qing's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face suddenly became richer.

"Naturally, it's nothing...... You've just shoved such a big piece of gold into that man's hand, how dare she say anything? There you go. ”

She seemed to see Xia Qing's worry and absent-mindedness, and took the initiative to take the lantern in Xia Qing's hand.

"Don't hold on to this, it's too obvious. It's dark here, you be careful. ”

"Thank you........"

Xia Qing really didn't expect that this woman, who had just met for a short time today, would be so considerate and kind to herself.

"What's polite, you go quickly, when you get to the bright place, you can't leave if you want to." ”

The round-faced palace man raised his chin and smiled brightly.

"That...... Sister, what's your name?"

Xia Qing suddenly realized that she didn't even know what her name was.

"Me?"

The round-faced palace people were stunned, as if they didn't expect Xia Qing to ask her such a question.

The palace man beside her gently tugged at her cuffs before she reacted.

"Originally, I wouldn't tell anyone my name easily, but since you asked me today, I'll tell you. ”

A faint wind blew, dimming the lantern in her hand, flickering, and looking a little terrifying.

"My name is Pingzi. ”

"........ what?!"
