The fire in the flower garden came in the middle of the night, and finally went out after the rain.

All that was left was a mess, collapsed houses, and messy courtyards.

Fortunately, the most important part of the place, the burned area of the storehouse to the east, is just a corner.

This scene bears a striking resemblance to the fire in the treasury in the middle of the night.

After the empress left, the reinforcements of the palace retreated one after another.

There was no one living in the flower garden, except for a few guards on duty in the winter warehouse, the rest of the people to be placed were lined up to live under the main building of Penglai Pavilion.

alarmed the people of Penglai Pavilion, and Mo Yan did not let him come out to command.

It's a pity that his face is like an iceberg, looking at it from a distance, anyone can see that his mood is extremely bad at the moment.

In the drizzle, Qing Zhi looked at him several times in surprise, but she never dared to ask, he looked completely different from usual tonight.

He looked like he was on business, and hurriedly arranged the accommodation of the people below according to the empress's instructions, and left quickly without staying for a moment.

Gu Lan had already recovered from the fright, stood by Qing Zhi's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "Sister steward, what's wrong with the one in the main building, I didn't hear a word from His Majesty Xià scolding him, why is the color difference like this?" ”

Qing Zhi looked at Mo Yan's back blankly, quietly distracted, and heard Gu Lan ask twice, before turning her head and saying, "I don't know either." ”

"Sister steward," Fang Cai Baoshan chased out, but couldn't catch up with He Yanzhi's pace, so he had to come back and ask, "Do we want to go to Lin De Hall to inquire, what happened to Xiaoling?" ”

"It's no big deal, since the emperor has come to the rescue, it can be regarded as an escape. This girl, luck is not bad. Suddenly, a man's voice sounded beside him.

Uncle Yuan still had traces left behind after the firefighting, he stepped forward, looked at Qing Zhi and said, "Steward, since everything has been arranged, let's go to the main building as much as possible." “

Uncle Yuan's eyes stayed in the messy courtyard, turned his head to Qing Zhi and said, "Your Majesty has left the guards on duty. It's windy and rainy. If I stay for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick. ”

Qing Zhi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it." Rest first. ”

One by one, the group withdrew from the boundary of the flowerbed, crossed the forest and reached the bridge, and a slender figure in the group looked back with an indescribable resentment in his eyes.

After the collapse of the house to the west. It's the most wolf bèi in the entire flower garden, why did you let her escape?!

Bo Sun wipes the rain off his hair. The steaming ginger soup sent by the palace people in the main building has been boiled and placed on the table, which can be described as careless.

The other two people in the room both drank.

Bao Shan lowered his eyes worriedly, glanced at Qing Zhi who was sitting in the chair and said, "Sister steward, I'm still worried." Early tomorrow morning, can I go to the Lin De Hall to inquire? ”

"Anyway, we're all doing things in one place. Xiaoling shouldn't be seriously injured, right? ”

Baoshan was still a little worried: "I saw that when Huang Guijun took her away, she was still in a coma. You say"

Qing Zhi waved her hand and interrupted: "Don't speculate, I'll go to the Linde Hall with you tomorrow morning, and listen to the news over there." ”

"It's so decent, it's actually on fire!" Qing Zhi frowned.

"Sister steward, you say, in this way, is Sister Xiaoling directly transferred to the Linde Palace?" Gu Lan took a sip of the ginger soup in the bowl and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for the emperor to take Sister Xiaoling away without saying a word in front of His Majesty?" ”

"It's important to save people, and the cause is urgent." Baoshan glanced at her disapprovingly and said, "If my sister is in that room, we can save people as soon as possible, where would you think so much." ”

"Even if it's His Majesty, he won't blame him at this time."

"What could be more important than human life, life is gone, nothing is gone."

Baoshan lowered his head and said with a gloomy expression.

Gu Lan was choked by her, her face turned pale, and she said embarrassedly: "Because we are in the palace, everyone understands what you said, but Your Majesty is not an ordinary person, it is very strange for the emperor to appear in the flower garden in the middle of the night, and now he will take Xiaoling away." ”

"I'm afraid that after she wakes up, Her Majesty will blame her, the status of the Emperor in the palace is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, but what does Xiaoling have, His Majesty is angry"

"Sister Lan, what did you say!" Bao Shan changed color when he heard this, stood up suddenly, walked up to her and said, "If you worry about this and that when you save people, you will be too late to hesitate." ”

"It doesn't matter how the Imperial Emperor is in our place," Bao Shan said with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Maybe it's just a coincidence?" ”

"Perhaps, he came to Penglai Pavilion to see the National Teacher, and when he saw the fire halfway through, he came to help?"

"I'm also worried about Xiaoling, I came in the same batch as her, and I lived in the same house, and I know her better than you, listening to you say this, it seems that I don't have a good heart."

"I didn't mean that, but what my sister said, I listened to it very well!"

"That's it!" Qing Zhi said loudly, the expression on her face was extremely irritated, "I just escaped the fire, you guys can save it now!" ”

"Xiaoling must have been injured, the emperor took her back to the Lin De Palace, it is better to have good medicine over there than to stay here."

"The three of us are going to live together tonight, and if there is anything, I will wait until tomorrow when I go to the Lin De Hall with Baoshan to inquire about the news."

"Sister, that's the truth." Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the soup bowl in her hand, and said with a slightly cold face, "It's really eventful in the palace, the last time I went back to the treasury to go to the water, this time it was our flower garden." ”

"I was almost scared to death before!" Gu Lan still had a frightened expression in her eyes, and patted her chest in fear.

"Sister, the three of us all heard Uncle Yuan's shout, why didn't Xiaoling hear it?" Bao Shan and Qing Zhi looked at each other and frowned.

"Maybe she slept soundly, didn't she come back from outside the palace today?"

Qingzhi said with some confusion in her eyes, "She went out of the palace today, walked outside for a day, and came back to make snacks." I can't sleep in the middle of the night and still walk in the woods, and when I go back, I must be tired, so I can sleep soundly. ”

There was some uncertainty in her tone, and Bao Shan glanced at Qingzhi in surprise and said, "How does the steward sister know that Xiaoling can't sleep in the middle of the night and walks in the woods, could it be that you met?" ”

Qing Zhi was stunned. Then he said calmly: "Yes." I went to the conservatory to see the reinforced roof, and I was worried that there would be heavy rain in the middle of the night, so the people who went back to the building office came to repair it once. But I was lying in bed, and I still didn't feel at ease. "I couldn't sleep after thinking about it, so I went to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet Xiaoling at the door." She said she couldn't sleep and walked around the woods. “

Bao Shan was stunned. With a suspicious expression on his face, he said, "Could it be that she met the emperor in the forest?" "No, Xiaoling didn't mention it, she and I have always had a talk, and I have almost nothing to talk about with her."

Qing Zhi pondered for a moment. After much deliberation, he was about to speak, when a voice came from outside the door.

Bosun ran over to open the door. It was the palace people in the main building of Penglai Pavilion who came in.

He held the clothes in his hand, said hello and smiled, "This is a change of clothes for you." There are no women's clothes in our main building, and these were sent to us by the female officials around His Majesty. "Thank you." Qing Zhi hurriedly walked over and thanked her, "Thank you for your trouble." “

Sending the person away, Qing Zhi gently closed the door with her hand, and listened to the movement at the door.

After listening, she walked back and sat down, stretched out her hand and beckoned, and Baoshan and Gu Lan gathered around her.

Qing Zhi glanced at the two of them with a solemn expression and said: "The matter of going back to the treasury and taking the water has not been thoroughly investigated, this time our flower garden has also suffered seedlings, I think Your Majesty will definitely inquire about this matter very carefully." "About tomorrow after the end of the court, I will summon the people in the flower garden to inquire, and I will make it clear to you now that I have some words, so that I will not poke the basket when I get it, and it will be difficult to clean it up." "Whether a person is convicted or implicated in others, it is a situation that we don't want to see, don't you say?"

Baoshan and Gu Lan lowered their heads almost at the same time, and then raised their heads to look at Qingzhi and nodded in agreement.

Qing Zhi sighed and said, "I originally wanted to hide it from you, but now it seems that I have to say it." "I went to the main building early this morning, and both of you know about it." "The National Teacher wants to transfer me to the main building to take care of the flowers and plants here, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is inappropriate, and I don't really want to come."

Having said this, Qingzhi bit her lip, paused and continued: "When the Master returned to China was sick, many of the herbs sent by our flower garden were picked by Xiaoling, so this time, it is inconvenient for me to go, and the meaning of the National Teacher is to let Xiaoling pass." “

Baoshan and Gu Lan looked at each other, and their gaze towards Qingzhi was very complicated.

"I know what you're thinking, and I also know what the people in this palace think of the main building of Penglai Pavilion, but Xiaoling, it's a little different."

Qingzhi sighed again and said, "She doesn't really want to go." "Sister, why is that?" Gu Lan couldn't help but ask, "Do you know?" "That's what I want to tell you."

Qing Zhi had hesitation in her eyes, thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoling, it was the Emperor Guijun who wanted to be transferred to the Linde Palace." “

Ignoring the surprise in the eyes of the other two people in the room, Qing Zhi said helplessly: "I didn't want to say it. ”

"The first time Xiaoling went to Linde Hall to send flowers, the emperor thought she was good, and he revealed the meaning of transferring her to the past."

"You may wonder how I know the inside story, because Xiaoling can't hide her words, she told me everything."

"When I first heard it, I reacted the same way you did."

"After thinking about it, I figured it out, almost everyone in the palace looked ahead and backwards, and had to think about a word several times, a frank temperament like her is very rare for the emperor who has been in the palace for several years."

"The emperor treats her differently, you must be very envious that she can go out for a whole day not long after entering the palace, and she can also visit her family"

Qing Zhi's tone was full of emotion: "You must not have imagined that even Xiaoling's token to leave the palace was given to her by the emperor himself!" (To be continued)
