Gu Qimei's question in her heart was unanswered, so she boarded the carriage and checked it like a master craftsman.

As he replied, he didn't see any problems.

Because the carriage was remade at the behest of the empress, its comfort was something she had never seen before.

Gu Qimei got out of the car, turned around and asked the attendant who followed beside her, "Is the one you invited from the repair office indeed the craftsman specified by His Majesty?" “

Receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Qimei fell into deep thought

Before the time came to the palace banquet, several pairs of eyes everywhere were looking at the carriage in the courtyard of the empress's bedroom.

The news was passed from the empress's bedroom to the Lin De Hall and Su Hyun's residence.

The former was silent when he heard the news, and the latter sent someone to inquire.

After being inspected by the master of the construction office, the carriage came out of the empress's residence and marched all the way to Penglai Pavilion, and Qingzhi and Baoshan happened to collide when they came back from the preparation of the palace banquet!

In the fog, Qing Zhi saw the exquisite carriage on the road not far away, and her first reaction was to turn her head to Baoshan beside her and said, "Isn't it that the national teacher has woken up and wants to take the car to the banquet?" “

Bao Shan was startled, his eyes looked in the direction that Qing Zhi said, and saw that the carriage was indeed the usual style of Penglai Pavilion, and his face also showed a surprised expression.

The two of them trotted close to the car, and saw that it was the attendant next to the empress who was sitting on it.

The two of them followed behind the carriage all the way to the door of Penglai Pavilion, watched Mo Yan come out and hand over the car, and ordered someone to stop in the courtyard.

Only then did the two of them suddenly realize. This carriage was not here for a banquet, it should be the upcoming battle in the north, and the empress specially ordered someone to equip it with the national teacher.

To make it easier for him to ride. Park in the courtyard of Penglai Pavilion

Su Hyun waited in the study for the person sent to deliver the news.

When Fu brought the tea in, she saw her master sitting at the desk, looking out the window with a thoughtful expression.

Fu walked over, put down the tray and stood beside him and said, "Your lord, the person sent has not returned yet. "Is there anything wrong with the carriage that His Majesty sent to the National Teacher?" Fu expressed the doubts in her heart.

In her opinion. The war in the north is imminent, and everyone in the palace is saying that His Majesty will definitely bring the national teacher with him when he goes on the expedition!

His physical condition is there. Sending a carriage seems like a natural thing to do.

Fu didn't understand why her master attached great importance to things that seemed to her to be ordinary.

Su Hyun turned his head and glanced at Fu and said, "The national teacher of tonight's palace banquet should not come." "Although the carriage was sent over, it was prepared for the expedition," he said. Su Hyun paused. Fingers tapped a few times on the edge of the desk, and his eyes looked at Fu Dao faintly, "From the capital of Sealand to the Northland, there is still a long way to go. "The road is full of small places, and she arranged it on purpose."

After saying a word, I can't hear joy or anger.

Fu's eyes lingered on Su Hyun's face, and she asked, "Do you want to go to the palace banquet place earlier?" “

Su Hyun shook his head and said, "You don't have to be so early, I sent someone to the sidelines before." The troublemakers also went back, and it was superfluous for me to go at this time. “

He frowned and glanced at Fu. He said in a soft tone: "Just wait for the palace banquet to begin, before the start of the palace banquet, it will be done earlier than the one from His Majesty Xià and the Lin De Palace." ”

Fu lowered her eyelids and thought for a while, Fang raised her head and said in slight surprise: "Your Lord, it seems that the person who went to check on the outside has returned." ”

She followed Su Hyun's side, and she was more sensitive than the average person in the palace.

Fu went to open the door, and the one who came in was indeed the attendant who had been sent to the empress's bedroom to investigate, and after entering the door, he told Su Hyun what had happened, and Fu also showed a strange expression next to her.

"The people in the building office are still involved with the carriage? Aren't they specifically working in the palace? ”

Fu was surprised, and Su Hyun said to explain her confusion: "That person should have been in the army before, but after retiring from the army in the past, he was placed in the construction office. ”

"His Majesty came to him, probably to see if the carriage was rebuilt solidly!"

Fu's expression instantly became a little subtle, and she turned to the attendant and said, "After the people from the construction office confirmed, the carriage will be sent to Penglai Pavilion, where the National Teacher lives, is there anything else in between?" ”

"The female official Gu beside Her Majesty seems to have seen that there is something wrong, in short, after the master left, she also got into the carriage and went to check for a long time."

Hearing this, Su Hyun said in a low voice: "She is not an insider, even if there is a problem, she can't see it, and she will definitely not be able to solve it." ”

He waved his hand and let the squire out!

For dinner on this day, the imperial dining room in the palace specially sent additional dishes to various places, and Qingzhi and Baoshan stayed in the courtyard to eat.

It didn't take long for a familiar figure to arrive at the door. "Gu Lan!" Qing Zhi frowned and looked at her suspiciously, "Where have you been all day, and you haven't seen anyone." ”

"Sister steward, I followed you to the palace banquet in the morning, but I was sent by the steward there to pick up clothes from the Huanyi Bureau."

Bao Shan said strangely: "Since I went to the Huanyi Bureau to get the clothes, I should be able to get them soon, at most I waited for an hour, how could my sister not come back until now?" ”

Gu Lan turned a deaf ear to Baoshan's words, and looked at Shang Qingzhi and said: "Steward, after I came back, I met Sister Gu beside Her Majesty, she and I have known each other for a long time, and she has lived in the same house, you know." ”

"After I talked to her, on the way back to the palace banquet, I met Su Guijun's subordinates again, and went to the imperial dining room."

Qing Zhi looked at her for a while and said, "Okay, let's eat." ”

Bao Shan and Qing Zhi finished their meals first and walked to the courtyard to talk.

Bao Shan lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think it's a little strange for the steward's sister? ”

"Coming back so late, it sounds like I'm busy with a lot of work," Bao Shan stroked his forehead and said, "But Su Guijun is not without people, how can he let our people from Penglai Pavilion Flower Garden go to the imperial dining room?" "Most of the people who were seconded from the palace to help in the past stayed for a long time and came back. The rest have been kept, and I heard that they can't leave until the palace banquet is over. "It's impossible to come back at this time."

"I can hear the first reason."

"The sister Gu beside Her Majesty, although she has lived in the same house with her. I came in together, but as far as I know, there are a lot of things to do with your majesty every day, so why do you have so much spare time to talk to people. ”

"Sister steward, did you say she was hiding the inside story?" Bao Shan said suspiciously.

Qing Zhi looked at Baoshan's eyes, guessed what she was thinking, and understood: "There is something wrong." “

Qing Zhi pondered for a moment. He said in a low voice: "There should be enough people for the palace banquet tonight, and I will go to the main building in a while and ask Mo Yan the manager next to the national teacher." If he says we can not go in the evening, don't go. ”

"Baoshan, or do you want to see it? This kind of opportunity is quite rare to say. ”

Baoshan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sister, don't hide it." I'm not interested at all. On an occasion like a palace banquet, it must be a mess. ”

"I want to stay in the yard, even if it's to talk to my sister."

"Okay," Qing Zhi said with a smile, "It's the same as I thought, when I talk to Mo Yan, it's decided." ”

The two talked in the courtyard for a while, and when they entered the door. Gu Lan had also finished eating, and Baoshan cleaned up with the two of her

Angelica passed through the side door of the courtyard. Walking to the bottom of the tree through the flower path, he raised his eyes and saw Mo Yan standing on the corridor under the main building, and Qingzhi approached him and shouted.

"Sister is here?" Mo Yan looked preoccupied, and when he saw Qing Zhi, he still squeezed out a smile.

"Hasn't the National Teacher woken up yet?" Qingzhi walked up to Mo Yan and asked in a low voice.

Mo Yan nodded and sighed: "If Childe doesn't wake up, the medicine can't be used." “

Qingzhi frowned and said, "Why don't you ask the doctor from Tai Hospital to use acupuncture?" ”

After hearing this, Mo Yan immediately vetoed: "Gongzi doesn't like to be disturbed, and people from the Tai Hospital don't enter the main building." ”

"Even if he doesn't wake up, I can't make decisions on my own."

After being silent for a moment, Qing Zhi said helplessly: "If the situation of the National Teacher still hasn't improved much before the expedition, will Your Majesty take him away directly?" ”

Mo Yan began to be depressed as soon as he heard this topic, and said in a muffled voice: "Didn't my sister see the carriage in the courtyard?" It was sent by His Majesty, ready for the son. ”

"It's very big, you can lie down."

Qing Zhi was stunned and said, "How can this work?" ”

"What's not going to work, Your Majesty has made up her mind." Mo's tone was full of dissatisfaction, mixed with helplessness.

While talking under the corridor, Mo Yan asked Qingzhi: "My sister came to me for the flower garden?" Isn't there a problem on the construction site? ”

"Childe told me before, if you come for help, let me do my best to help."

Qing Zhi's eyes moved, and she sighed in a tone: "The national teacher really has a heart, but he didn't come here for the flower garden construction site. ”

"For the repair, someone from the repair department is implementing it with Master Yuan, and I confirmed the drawings before the start of construction."

"I came to you because of the palace banquet tonight, I think a few people in the courtyard should not go to that kind of occasion to cause trouble, after I discussed with them, everyone didn't want to participate, you see?"

"It turned out to be for this," the corners of Mo Yan's mouth moved, "If you don't want to go, don't go, if someone from Su Guijun's side comes to find it, just say"

He pondered for a moment, and Qing Zhi answered: "Why don't you just say that you are preparing for the National Teacher for the Northland, what do you think?" ”

"Well, this is a good reason, it is the meaning of His Majesty to let Gongzi go to the Northland, and it is just used as an excuse."

"It's still my sister who thinks faster and more thoughtful than me."

Qing Zhi smiled: "It's not that I'm thoughtful, it's that you can't take care of it here, just the illness of the National Teacher is enough to worry about." ”

Qingzhi finished asking about things and was about to leave, when Mo Yan, who was standing on the corridor behind her, called out to her softly.

Qingzhi turned around and asked in surprise, "Is there anything else?" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Mo Yan's eyes, and he said a few seconds late: "Sister, do you want to know the news of that person in your flower garden?" ”

Qingzhi didn't react at once, the person in the flower garden? Which person?

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she hurriedly retreated to Mo Yan and asked, "Is it Xiaoling's news?" ”

Mo Yan bowed his head and said: "Yes, I want to think about it, or explain to my sister." ”

"How is she?" Qing Zhi reached out and clenched the corner of her clothes, and asked nervously, "Could it be that someone from the patrol team found it?" ”

"No," Mo Yan shook his head, "The patrol team searched the entire palace prison and found nothing. ”

"She's out of town." Mo Yan said lightly.

Qing Zhi looked at Mo Yan with wide eyes and asked, "How can you have news of Xiaoling?" Mo Yan! ”

"Said she went out of town, is the news reliable?"

Mo Yan hesitated and said, "The news is from the Lin De Palace, it must be reliable." "Because she had a letterhead and handed it over to the north gate of the national capital city to guard, and then passed it to the palace through them, I heard that it was handed over to the emperor and nobleman of the Lin De Palace." "Unless the guards don't have their heads, no one dares to deceive the emperor."

Qing Zhi let out a long breath, the whole person relaxed, and the corners of her clothes were also released: "I knew that girl was blessed, it's good to go, this palace is not suitable for her." "Speaking of which, she is really powerful, and she can go out of the palace smoothly, right under the noses of the patrol."

Mo Yan observed Qing Zhi's expression, and the other party's reaction was somewhat unexpected for him. "Sister doesn't seem to blame her at all?" Mo Yan asked. "What's so strange about it, she helped me a lot when she was here, she has her own place to go now, it's the best, from the beginning to the end, she didn't do anything sorry for our flower garden." "But the last time there was an accidental fire, and I almost died."

After Qingzhi stopped the unpleasant topic, she continued: "Great! "It's okay if she's okay, I can rest assured, Mo Yan, thank you."

Qingzhi turned around and walked away, compared with when she came, her steps were much brisker, and Yu Moyan stood on the side of the corridor, looking at her departing back with complicated eyes

In the southwest corner, Liang Xue took water from the well in the courtyard and went to the study to polish the ink for his beauty.

She stayed in this small courtyard for a short time, but she got along fairly well with the only two palace maids in the courtyard.

Maybe it's because the owner who lives in this courtyard, the Zhao Meiren with a quiet personality, is usually a good relationship with the people below.

The two palace maids who are older than her are also peaceful and docile, I don't know how much better than the people under Su Xun, Liang Xue asked herself if she came here because of a blessing in disguise, it's the right one!

After Liang Xue finished her business, she could go back to her room to rest.

But when she stayed in the courtyard, she heard the voices of people passing by on the road outside, and she couldn't help but walk to the door and look out.

Seeing that it was the palace guards who came from afar, Liang Xue hurriedly closed the door.

After nightfall, the other two palace maids stayed in the room, lighting the lamps and doing some embroidery work on their hands, chatting and talking.

At this time, the palace banquet should have begun, Liang Xue went out from the side gate and walked in the nearby woods.

The moonlight was silent, and she didn't go far when she suddenly heard movement in the forest, and she was stunned for a moment! (To be continued......)
