Chapter 162: The Wrong Time
I could only watch without saying a word as the palace maid in charge took away Xiao Mingzhu.
I watched her walk a long distance and look back at me, the grievances in her eyes were self-evident.
I made a gesture to soothe her.
It was also at that moment that I made up my mind.
When I saw He Yanzhi, I had to mention to him what I had just seen anyway.
I don't want Little Pearl to suffer.
After all, I facilitated Xiaozhu to come here.
When I think about this, I feel extremely uneasy
Walking through the courtyard of the Lin De Palace, except for the scene when I entered the door, I followed the two attendants to the bamboo forest, and I didn't see anyone else.
Lin De Hall is as quiet and peaceful as ever, but walking on the path, my mood is really not quiet.
Originally, I thought that Xiao Mingzhu got what she wanted when she arrived at Lin De Palace, but I still did a good thing.
But when I saw the treatment she was getting here in the morning, regret gradually welled up in my heart.
Walking to the bamboo forest with such feelings, even if the good mood was ruined early in the morning, even the calculated rhetoric was forgotten because of this sudden event.
I silently followed behind the attendants to the edge of the bamboo forest, and the two men said goodbye to me in unison.
"You're not taking me to the main building?" I looked at the two of them strangely.
The other party exchanged glances, his face was strange, and one of them smiled: "The emperor's instructions, we dare not disobey." ”
Although I have doubts in my heart, I think I can understand the particularity of He Yanzhi's person.
I thanked them and watched their backs leave. He walked slowly towards He Yanzhi's residence in the Lin De Palace, thinking repeatedly about how to tell He Yanzhi after meeting.
Xiao Mingzhu was entrusted to him by me, and now that the situation is not good, I have to beg him again.
This kind of thing is really the first time I have done it, and I definitely don't want to do it for the second time, but as long as I have the ability to deal with it myself, I will never want to ask anyone, but I am in this Sealand palace!
I'm soft-spoken. There are very few things that can be mastered. Even more than half of the freedom of movement is in the hands of others.
The pace is getting slower and slower, and I have walked heavily, since I entered the palace. For the first time, a contrary thought came to my heart, did I come to the palace this time, did I come to the wrong place.
I used to think about using another method, such as a night scout or something.
But to enter this heavily guarded Sealand Palace. In the absence of internal responses, without identifying clues. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it's not easy to find what you're looking for.
My mind turned, and I thought of someone who had been in the palace for a while.
He is still in the main building of Penglai Pavilion. Although I don't know the purpose of his coming to Sealand, in my eyes he can't go out of the door, and even he is tied. How much more about me!
Thinking about it like this, I feel a lot of comfort in my heart. Besides, if you haven't found a result yet, you must not give up with myself lightly
In the courtyard of the Lin De Hall, through the empty bamboo forest, I walked to the porch of the main building.
Standing under the porch, from this angle, you can see the figure walking on the pontoon bridge not far away.
It was one of the busiest roads in the palace, and almost all the palace people who traveled to and from various places would appear on that road, including the empress.
It's not my first time here, but I deliberately look over there every time.
From the time I noticed this, I was thinking about what He Yanzhi was like standing in his own place, watching the flow of people passing through the pontoon.
Especially in the days when he was left out in the cold, I had to watch the empress go to the palace through the pontoon bridge, how could I actually have some sympathy for him in my heart?
It doesn't seem to be much different from the harem I used to understand.,But it's just the opposite.。
When I arrived at the main building of the Lin De Hall, the door was already close at hand, and to my surprise, outside the porch under the eaves, there was a squire standing there.
"Miss Xiaoling, the emperor takes a nap, let me take you downstairs and wait."
Glancing upstairs to the main building of the Lin De Temple, I nodded.
The attendant and I spoke softly under the porch.
"Miss Xiaoling, the flowers sent last time, the emperor likes them very much."
I smiled and replied, "If you like it." ”
"The housekeeper sister of the flower garden will pay attention to the types of flowers and plants that are sent to calm the nerves and help sleep, and if she sees it, she will also send it to the emperor."
The attendant who took me to stand under the porch talked to me without a match, as if he didn't care about the passage of time at all, but I was just so consumed, and my heart became more and more anxious.
The other party is really powerful, from the Flower Sutra to the interesting anecdotes about the training place for new palace maids, it seems that there is nothing he doesn't know about the whole palace.
The identity is poor, and I don't dare to ask him directly when He Yanzhi will wake up, so I have to continue to wait, hanging down on my side and pinching the corners of my clothes tightly and relaxing, telling myself not to be impatient.
It's only been dawn for a long time now, and when I heard him say that He Yanzhi took a nap, he obviously woke up in the morning!
Finally, when the time came to go up, the attendant, who had deliberately found a lot of topics to talk about, walked out of the main building without looking back, and walked all the way down the bamboo forest, without even saying a word of farewell.
I watched this scene of transformation dumbfounded, and only after a moment did I secretly say in my heart: I really see people talking about people, and ghosts talking nonsense.
The palace people who can gain a firm foothold in the Lin De Hall are really psychologically strong.
Thinking of Xiao Mingzhu, my mood is a little heavier.
Look around her, there are people who are not low in rank, Xiao Mingzhu's days are too difficult!
The ground floor was still empty, and as I went up the stairs, I stopped abruptly around the corner.
There was a familiar smell in the air, and the last time I smelled this smell was when I first came to Lin De Hall to see He Yanzhi.
For a moment I was so frightened that I stopped around the corner, not knowing whether to continue walking up or not
The first time I came to see him, I was scared half to death, it was the smell at the time, and I thought of the aftermath of that time
I simply stopped, I believed that if he was awake, he would have known that I had come up, and the attendant had clearly confirmed that he had left.
Not long after I stood at the corner of the stairs, his familiar voice came from above: "You come up." “
Before he could do it, he paused and continued, "Xiaoling. “
After shouting my name, there was no more to follow.
I could hear his voice distinctly different from the last time I came, it didn't look like the laziness of just waking up, but it showed a weakness that couldn't be hidden.
I felt that something was wrong with his body, and I could only pray in my heart that I would not be like the first time, and I would go in with dignity, and he would be planted in front of me.
Sister's little heart can't stand the second fright!
I still had the biggest task of the trip, the box of sachets to be delivered, but the smell in the room could not dissipate, so I had an idea and reached out to open the box containing the sachets.
In order to make sure that the kuài worked, I even took the sachet out of the box.
The two smells were mixed together, and the vague and diffused aura before was much lighter.
There was a low laugh from behind the screen, and He Yanzhi said softly: "You are an unpredictable prophet, do you know what is going on here?" "I can't imagine that you still have a hobby of carrying sachets with you?"
Listening to him finish his two sentences without stumbling, it sounded a little more energetic than when I entered the door, and my hanging heart was more than half relieved. "You're behind the screen."
He Yanzhi said in a low voice.
I didn't answer, and walked around the screen to the couch at the back.
I cheered myself up, and in the last situation like that, I was able to get out of the Lin De Palace, and I still had the token he gave me.
After saluting, I raised my head and glanced casually at the people on the couch.
The next second, I looked at him with a long mouth in surprise, because I had the situation last time in my heart, and I was originally prepared to see him in person at this moment.
Looking at his face, from his eyebrows to his eyes, from his nose to his face, it took me a long time to realize how impolite such a look was, and I quickly lowered my head.
He Yanzhi seemed to be very satisfied with my reaction just now, and said in a relaxed tone: "I miscalculated the time, I thought it should be fine when you came." “
"Show me what you're carrying."
I paused for a moment, quickly handed him the open box carefully, thought for a moment, and withdrew my hand before he could take it.
I still held the box by myself, but I just took one out of the sachet and handed it to He Yanzhi.
Seeing that he took it, I whispered: "It's all the same sachet, this is the housekeeper of the flower garden, Sister Qingzhi, who asked me to send it, saying that hanging it indoors can calm the mind and calm the nerves, and it also has the effect of helping sleep at night." ”
"We have accepted the winter clothes sent, I like it very much, thank you for the reward from the emperor."
The corners of He Yanzhi's mouth moved, and he said with a smile: "I also suddenly remembered that the female official in charge of this matter in the palace last year left the palace and went to the north this year, and there is no one to replace her for the time being." ”
"I was also negligent, I listened to the wind blowing fiercely last night."
I said gratefully, "The emperor bothered. ”
He got up and wanted to leave the couch, but I subconsciously ran up and reached out to help him.
He was stunned, and walked down my arm to the source of the smell in the room, the incense burner in the corner. "After today," he looked at the incense burner intently, and said with a smile on his lips, "I don't need this Rausch anymore." “
He Yanzhi turned to look at me bowing my head and didn't dare to move, and said in a soothing tone: "You don't have to worry about smelling it again when you come back next time." “
I raised my head slightly, and I saw the familiar golden silk nanmu box on the table by the incense burner, and the blood all over my body poured up on my head.
He Yanzhi looked at me and said with a smile: "Naturally, this is also included." “
I took two steps back, trembled, and fell to my knees. (To be continued)
