When Bao Lai walked into Concubine Min's carriage, Concubine Min was lazily leaning on the long collapse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Have you inquired clearly? Can you leave today? Concubine Min asked weakly.

"Hui Niangniang, I just sent back the word, and I have to stay here for a day."

"What's so good about the bottom here? There is no store in front of the village and no store in the back, and the barren mountains and mountains are three days! The queen's interest is really special, why can't the palace see what's good here? Concubine Min said angrily.

"Although there is no letter from the queen's side, the little slave has found something not quite right." Bao Lai saw that Concubine Min's expression was fine, so he boldly replied.

"What's the matter?" Concubine Min didn't seem to be very interested.

"The captain of the guard who escorted the queen to the north is going back to Luoyang to ask for sin!" Baulai said word for word.

"Oh!" Concubine Min's eyes, which were originally godless, suddenly lit up alertly: "Why? Hongu didn't notice what was going on in the camp? ”

"I heard it's not because of the camp. It was because the night before yesterday, the captain of the guard took 500 people out to look for a water source, and accidentally fell into the rapids under the dark light, and washed away more than 100 people, leaving no bones. Fifty or sixty people were rescued, and all of them were seriously injured. "Baulaidau.

"And that sort of thing!" Concubine Min said this, but there was always some confusion on her face: "It shouldn't be! There is a stream not far from where the carriage stops! Why did the captain of the guard go out of the camp late at night to find water, and he brought so many people, could it be said that he had to dig a well on the spot? ”

"The little slave also felt that this matter was strange, so he took advantage of the fact that the captain of the guard had not left, and brought some dry food and snacks to him." Bao Lai said: "The situation at that time was also bleak. Yesterday he was the majestic captain of the guard, but today he has taken off his official hat, put on his shackles, and was escorted out of the camp by two messengers, and there was no one to see him off. ”

"When the little slave was in Hanyang Palace, he once went out of the palace late at night to do things for his mother, came back late, and was locked outside the palace gate. Fortunately, the captain of the guard recognized the little slave on the castle tower and opened the door. The little slave kept this in mind, so in addition to giving him some dry food and snacks, he also gave a few taels of silver to the two escorted messengers, and asked them to take care of the captain of the guard along the way. ”

Concubine Min laughed silently: "I don't see it, you are still a eunuch who knows how to repay your kindness, but it is quite different from the previous Nanpu." ”

Bao Lai said a little embarrassedly: "This is also for you, Niangniang, I hope to get some more words out of the mouth of the captain of the guard." ”

"Is that set out?" Concubine Min asked.

"Nope." Bao Lai lowered his head uneasily: "However, it seems that the little slave believes that the captain of the guard does have unspeakable suffering, he is not guilty of looking for water, but seems to have suffered for others." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Min asked.

"The little slave found that the captain of the guard had a white cloth wrapped around his arm, and it was inconvenient to move, so he seemed to be injured." "But the rest of his body is intact, and it doesn't seem like he was injured by a rock after falling into the water." In addition, his mood has always been very low, and he wants to speak and stop, as if he is carrying a great grievance. ”

Concubine Min looked at Bao Lai quietly: "That's all you know?" ”

Bao Lai nodded: "That's all." ”

Concubine Min shook her head helplessly and said, "Then you will have your silver and dry food snacks in vain, and people will be tight-lipped and unmoved." ”

Bao Lai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "The little slave is too stupid. ”

"That's it, everyone is gone, don't mention him." Concubine Min said: "The captain of the guard is gone, who will manage so many guards?" ”

"I heard that the queen summoned the Flying Tiger General overnight and asked him to take over the position of captain of the guard." Baullai said.

"Look at how lucky people are, many years of deputy, there is no hope of straightening, overnight, a big gold ingot fell from the sky and hit himself! It seems that this flying tiger will be grateful for the queen's promotion, and will definitely be loyal until death. Concubine Min said a little teasingly.

Then she said in a different tone: "What about Princess Yingxue?" In the past two days, Bengong has been unhappy, neglected to discipline her, and I don't know where she ran crazy. ”

"Hui Niangniang, this time you can wronged the princess, the little slave inquired about the princess has been with the lord of Nichuan for the past two days, even if the two get out of the car to play, they only go around the nearby woods, and there are grandmothers next to them. The princess did not get into trouble and was very obedient. ”

"Very obedient? Who did you listen to, the grandmother next to her? Do those people dare to tell the truth? Concubine Min wanted to say more, but she felt a sticky throat and coughed rapidly.

Bao Lai hurriedly held the blue and white butterfly porcelain spittoon and sent it over, but Concubine Min only had a dry cough.

Finally, Concubine Min stopped coughing and took a few quick breaths. Bao Lai came over and patted her on the back and said, "Mother, it's better now." ”

Concubine Min sighed and said, "Originally, when I left the palace, I said that I couldn't be strong in front of the queen on this way, and I had to pretend to be weak. Who knows that a proverb becomes a prophecy, there is no need to pretend, and it will not be better as soon as you get out of Luoyang. ”

"Niangniang, has the imperial doctor who accompanied me come to see it today? Did you say anything? Bao Lai made a new cup of fragrant nan tea for Concubine Min and brought it over.

"I've seen it, and it's the same as last time. The imperial doctor said that the pulse of the palace is volatile, and the department stops drinking and heat, and the external is affected by the symptoms of wind and cold, so that the headache and body heat, and the Huoxiang Zhengqi pill was sent over earlier, and the body heat is slightly reduced. The doctor instructed him to add some ginger soup later. Concubine Min held her forehead, as if she was a little tired.

Bao Lai immediately said, "The little slave will go and prepare now." ”

Unexpectedly, Concubine Min beckoned to him and said, "Don't worry, this palace still has something to tell you." ”

Bao Lai bowed his head respectfully: "Please give me orders." ”

"The sudden departure of the captain of the guard is definitely not simple." Concubine Min said: "It must be related to the queen." Although I don't know what the queen's purpose is for suddenly changing the captain of the guard, the palace vaguely feels that this matter is not good for us. ”

Bao Lai took a deep breath and said, "What Niang Niang said is extremely true. The captain of the guard was carefully selected by the emperor, and now the Flying Tiger General was appointed by the queen out of the ordinary, and it is really clear who he will be loyal to and who he will protect. ”

Concubine Min pursed her eyebrows: "You sneak out tonight while no one is paying attention, and send a secret message to the people who are attached to the horse, so that they can mix in the guard camp and pay attention to the whereabouts of this newly appointed Flying Tiger General." And those who have been hiding nearby, let them be vigilant, and if Hongu feels threatened, he will immediately send them a signal! Then according to the plan discussed with the attached horse before, if the queen wants to move the palace, the palace can't be restrained, it is best to send people first, and make a trouble. If so, it remains to be seen what the final outcome will be! ”
