Chapter 450: The Storm Rises (22)
In Shaohua Palace, there are only palace people on duty at night.
Xia Qing held the lantern she had just received from the female officer in her hand, and walked cautiously. You really have to be careful in doing things here, and the things inside, even a broken brick on the ground, can be a priceless treasure.
Several palace people on night duty were also guarding the door of Shaohua Palace with a lantern at this time. A few of them looked very serious, as if they were waiting for something. There was no communication between them, only looking in all directions with their own eyes.
"Hey, you, who's who?"
Before Xia Qing could step forward to say hello, he was already discovered by the palace people on the side. She smiled awkwardly and lifted the lantern to illuminate her face.
"I'm a night patrol, and now I'm here to visit Shaohua Palace. ”
She smiled generously, but she couldn't see the slightest unnaturalness.
"Night watchman, is it like this today, do you still want to come to us for the night watch?"
The palace man threw the lantern in his hand aside, and walked towards Xia Qing with a frown, "Since you are here to patrol the night, then there should be a token, right? Take the token over to me first, you female official should have it for you." ”
"Yes, it's for me, I'll show you. ”
Xia Qing touched his sleeve for a while, and finally touched the cold, small and chic brand.
"No, do you want this?"
The palace man took it, rubbed the pass of the lantern in Xia Qing's hand, and carefully checked the token, "Pattern, weight, feel...... Yes, it's a token. ”
Xia Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. This token was just about to leave when the female officer stuffed it to her, saying that it would be used later, now think about it, she fortunately accepted this, if she didn't accept it, how troublesome it would be today.
"Our situation here, it's normal, right?"
The palace man turned his head and asked a few palace people behind him. Those palace people were obviously people who were doing their jobs seriously, and when they were suddenly asked, they didn't react.
"Normal? It's normal........"
"Is this the night watchman? The face is very raw, isn't the female officer here?"
"You go out and tell you ladies that we are normal here, don't come again, it stands to reason that you shouldn't come in today. ”
"The guards at the door didn't even stop them, and let them in casually......."
The palace people were very dissatisfied with Xia Qing's sudden entry into Shaohua Palace. This is now one of the forbidden places in the palace, and it is no longer a place where you can enter casually. If something happens, it's their responsibility. Let such a little palace maid come in, they don't dare to take responsibility.
"The lady let her in, and the signs are all here. As long as there are no problems, she can go. ”
The palace people who came first turned around and explained to them, and showed the token in their hands to the rest of the palace people, "I have checked, and it is indeed a night patrol token." This can't be faked. ”
The palace people in Shaohua Palace are worthy of being the best in the entire palace, and they have done a seamless job in any aspect, making it impossible to find problems. Even if the master is not there, they can still manage not to let anyone in.
"Okay, you heard it, we don't have any problems here, you can go back as you came. You really can't just enter here now, go back and tell you female officials, you don't need to come here for a night patrol next time, this place should be closed soon. ”
The palace man waved his hand impatiently and sent Xia Qing away.
Xia Qing stood there, stunned and looked at the dark inner hall of Shaohua Palace, and there was no one inside. That was the perfect time for her to find what she was looking for.
It's just that she really can't think of a way to get in for a while. Standing here all the time is no way to do it, and if she doesn't say it, she will be arrested as an assassin later. Her best thing to do now is to go first, and then try to find a way to get in later.
"Thank you for reminding me, since it's safe here, then I'll go, and I'll convey your words to the lady. Rest assured. ”
Xia Qing blessed a few people very politely, and there was a kind smile on his lips.
"Several of them have worked hard and are here for the night. If you weren't in a hurry, I should have brought you some food........"
"You're a good talker. But this won't work with us, little sister, let's leave quickly when we're done. ”
She blinked, her face innocent.
These people turned out to be old fritters. They can see through everything she does.
"Hahahaha, what are you talking about, sisters. I really think you've worked hard to say this, and since you can't eat it, forget it, I'll go first. ”
Xia Qing turned around in a hurry, she was afraid that the smile on her face would not be able to hang up.
These people are too shrewd and too difficult to deal with, and if she stays any longer, she will only mess with herself, so it is better to think of a way first, this is definitely not a place where you can break in.
"Then I won't send it away........"
Behind him, the voice of the palace man was particularly loud, and there was a series of laughter after he finished speaking.
Looks like her colleagues are smiling happily.
Xia Qing clenched his fists, trying to suppress the urge to break in. This group of people is really hateful, she has been in the palace for so long, except for the group of bad guys who took her away without saying anything, these palace people are the most hateful and terrible.
However, it can also be found from this that the emperor has a strict care of this Shaohua Palace.
In the past, even if he had 10,000 favors for Concubine De, he was also 10,000 guards against Concubine De in private.
She must have been monitored more than that, not any less.
Xia Qing could suddenly understand why this woman would rebel.
She suddenly felt a little sympathy for this woman who looked very arrogant.
Every time she is treated like this, in the eyes of others, how much pain there is behind the glamorous days, only she can know.
It is estimated that the Queen Mother also grasped her psychology, and added a little more to it before letting her join.
"Really, why have you been around for so long?
Before Xia Qing could reach the door, she was caught by the impatient female officer who was waiting at the door.
"No, I just stood there for a while and asked more, I'm afraid something will happen tonight........"
"Then you've been there for too long, and you're scared of me. I thought something had happened to you, and you knew if you were going to affect me when the time came!"
The attitude of the female officer was very resolute and very angry.
"If you don't come out again, I won't be able to explain it when I get to the door. ”
The female officer dragged Xia Qing to the door,
"When the guard at the gate asked you why you had been there for so long, you said that you were in the hut and that you were not feeling well. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
Xia Qing agreed quickly, and he didn't forget to have a flattering smile on his lips,
"Shall we get out of here?"
