Chapter 446: The Storm Rises (18)
Xia Qing naturally couldn't stay in that corner obediently.
She had already thought that if she could successfully deceive the shrewd Qu Ziyan, she would have to mix in and use her own strength to do what she could. Now, here's her chance.
Small relief is an excuse, fear is an excuse. It was all an excuse for her to want to get in.
"I'm sorry, Qu Ziyan. ”
She whispered in the direction of the long gone. Although there was only darkness and cold silence over there, her sense of guilt for Qu Ziyan was still very strong.
She took advantage of him. is as shrewd as him, but this time, I don't know why, he was obediently used by her.
Xu was him, and he already knew what she was thinking. just deliberately pretended not to know, so that she self-righteously thought that she had succeeded. Either way, she had already managed to approach the main hall.
It's closer, and everything is negotiable.
Not far away, there was a small alley patrolled by the palace people with lanterns, and she took a deep breath and walked in that bright direction. The body was the civilian clothes that Cheng Hua borrowed from her when she was young, she was wearing something big, and it looked a little out of place with her, but she didn't have time to pay attention to these.
She just wanted to blend in with the group now and find a way to get close to the main hall.
As she expected, the palace people are easy to get stuck at this point, and they like to talk about gossip to make themselves sober.
Because it was dark all around, just relying on the lanterns in their hands could not illuminate all of them, Xia Qing saw the opportunity and bent down to get into the inspection team.
No one noticed that there was suddenly a little girl around. They strode forward, chatting about the big things that happened in the palace today.
There were both men and women in the patrol team.
Most of the men are guards, and the women are palace maids or junior female officials. The women are mainly responsible for the inspection of the harem, because the men can't get in.
"You say, is that Rui Wang really going against himself?"
"It's not that I want to rebel, or what! The emperor has done his best to be benevolent to him........
"That's right, if you look at the other princes, they are all dead and exiled, and even none of the three princesses of the first emperor can end well. You say that he has been crowned a vassal king and has been favored by the emperor in a hundred ways, what else can you not be satisfied with........"
"Yes, so the more powerful people are, the more they desire to have rights, and the more they are not satisfied. ”
Several palace people walked and discussed, and one by one they seemed to have seen everything, and they were all commenting on everything today. Xia Qing was a little uncomfortable when he heard it.
She sniffed, resisting the urge to contradict them. Now she can't get into trouble.
"But I heard that the emperor clearly favors King Rui, but he is actually under house arrest. Even the Queen Mother was actually under house arrest by the emperor, and she was finally rescued because of this incident......."
"Yes, yes, I've heard that. But I don't know if it's true or not...... If that's the case, then the emperor's acting skills are really great, and he has deceived so many people......."
That's right! That's the truth! He forced King Rui to do this!
Xia Qing silently responded to the palace people in her heart, eager to explain it to them now. Let them see the true appearance of this guy Cheng Qing clearly!
"Let's not talk about that. I heard that Concubine Li was under house arrest by the emperor today in order to save the princess.......
"I heard that an even more terrifying one! I heard that her old man was going to be killed after giving birth! Because she used the Taifu who was saved by the gold medal of avoiding death, according to the rules, this gold medal can save one party, but it also needs the other party to resist the ........."
"No, then this lady who finally has the emperor's favor will have to ........"
"Is it so scary...... Not long ago, I sent something to my mother, she is really a very gentle and very good woman....... didn't expect such an ending........"
Xia Qing followed silently on the side, not knowing what to say.
She was a little confused. I don't know if what I'm doing right or wrong.
But she's already done it, so she can only ask for a worthy one. She has always been a person who seeks peace of mind in everything, and if she can't do this well, she may live in guilt for the rest of her life.
Even so, she wasn't sure if she was right.
In front of it is the Xiangrui Palace where Concubine Li lives, and it is not as lively as before.
In the dark, it seemed very lonely, very lonely.
There were no bright lights, only the two lanterns at the entrance of the palace that were not very bright, and it was almost dark inside.
"Today it was ....... dark inside. ”
A palace man watched from afar and couldn't help but sigh.
"To be honest, today's move, if Concubine De did it, I think it's normal, let this do it, it's really not like it........"
"I think so too, but I've heard that Concubine De disappeared when she rebelled. It is said that she is also a person of the Queen Mother........."
"What!"
"Shhhhh
A round-faced palace maid hurriedly covered the mouth of the palace maid in front of her.
Xia Qing was right behind the two of them, and everything was heard clearly. Word for word.
"No wonder! No wonder! Ah Bao, who has been working in Concubine De's palace today, has never come back! Everyone in Concubine De's palace has not returned......."
"yes, I guess I was called there for questioning...... If I were the emperor, I would definitely be angry, none of the favorite concubines around me were good......."
"Two sisters, I don't know what you said about Concubine De, have you found it now?"
Xia Qing interjected coldly.
"Which palace are you from..... what's the matter with your clothes, it's not ours here, right.......?"
"No, I'm here at Concubine Fang's place, Sister Pingzi is not feeling well today, so she sent me here to ........ for her"
"Is it Pingzi's turn today?"
The two palace people looked at each other, still suspicious.
"It's her turn, but you don't remember. ”
Xia Qing lowered her head slightly, it was dark, and she basically couldn't see her face clearly, but for the sake of safety, she still didn't dare to let people see her face.
"Really...... Concubine Fang is feeling better?"
"She's getting better lately, but she still can't do anything, and you all know ....... Niangniang's illness still has to be raised. ”
Xia Qing knew that Concubine Fang's health was not good, and it was still easy to pull these things.
"So sisters, can you tell me about Concubine De's mother?"
She tried to pick up on the subject. Under the suspicious eyes of the two palace people, she behaved very calmly.
But although her face was calm, she still didn't know anything in her heart.
But don't be discovered..........
