On the path in the palace, Xiao Bai's steps were extremely fast, turning his head to check left and right from time to time, his expression was flustered, and his face was a little pale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There were several crowds of people, all of them were groups of several servants, talking about something in a whisper, although they couldn't hear the content clearly, but looking at their looks, they were all obviously panicked, which made Xiaobai even more nervous.

When he saw Concubine Ming's courtyard, Xiaobai's feet almost jumped into the threshold, entered the courtyard, and deliberately looked back to see if anyone was following behind him.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal behind him, he smiled apologetically at the guard, and hurriedly entered the courtyard, although Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, the speed under his feet did not weaken, and a few small steps went straight to Concubine Ming in the courtyard.

Concubine Ming was fiddling with the herbs drying on the shelf in front of her, when she heard Xiaobai's footsteps a little hurried, the movements in her hands were quiet, but she didn't stop and continued to be busy.

"!" Xiaobai walked up to her, his voice extremely anxious.

Concubine Ming spread out the herbs on the shelf in her hand, clapped her hands gently, and finally raised her head to look at Xiaobai, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is one less maidservant in the palace." Xiaobai's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, when she first found out that there was a servant girl missing, she thought that she had left the palace without permission and ran away by herself, but after that, she lost a few people one after another.

The maids in the entire palace were panicked, and the disappearance of the palace maid seemed to have happened after General Qin's bones were transported back to the palace, so the palace maids speculated in private, and finally thought that it was General Qin's ghost and wanted to arrest them and take them to the underworld to serve him.

Although it sounds a little ridiculous, but these days are the funeral of General Qin, and almost the whole country is busy with this matter, and no one has the leisure to ask about the disappearance of a few handmaids, so that the emperor still doesn't know about the disappearance of handmaids, and naturally he doesn't know why.

Concubine Ming looked at the flustered Xiaobai, and was a little surprised for a while, a few days ago, I heard Xiaobai talk about the handmaid, but she didn't pay much attention, thinking that there were just one or two handmaidens, who must have offended someone in the palace, and was secretly wiped out, but I didn't expect that this matter seemed to be endless.

"Have the masters of those handmaidens reported it?" Concubine Ming pondered for a while, then asked Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai shook his head and clasped his hands tightly, "I have been caring about General Qin's funeral for the past few days, how can anyone care about a few maidservants." ”

Saying this, Xiao Bai twisted his fingers and bit his lip, "Niangniang, if the slave can't go back here one day, Niangniang has to take good care of herself." ”

Concubine Ming was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiaobai, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she laughed for a while, then stretched out her hand, tapped her forehead with her finger, and said angrily, "What is the little girl thinking, no matter how missing the maid is, it won't fall on your head." ”

Xiaobai was said by Concubine Ming, her mouth pouted, but she didn't have the nervousness just now, "Niangniang, I can't rest assured that Niangniang, if the slave is killed, who will take care of Niangniang, I don't have anyone in this palace to rest assured." ”

Seeing her like this, Concubine Ming covered her mouth with her sleeves but laughed, "Xiaobai is quite confident, I dare to love me, except for Xiaobai, there is no one to talk to." ”

Seeing Concubine Ming say this, Xiaobai hurriedly stomped her feet again, "Niangniang, I didn't mean that." ”

Concubine Ming saw that Xiaobai was relieved, so she smiled, "Okay, I'll tease you." Look at the nervous way you just looked, it scared me. ”

When Xiaobai heard this, it turned out that Niangniang deliberately did this, wanting her to relax, and felt ashamed of the panicked words just now, "It's all because the slave maid panicked and disturbed Niangniang." ”

Concubine Ming didn't count her down anymore, turned her face, and frowned, "Who are the missing maidservants in the palace?" ”

Xiao Bai looked at Niangniang's expression, and seemed to be interested in this matter, so he hurriedly said, "The first to disappear was the palace maid in the queen's palace before, and then it was a popular girl in front of several concubines. ”

Concubine Ming was even more puzzled when she heard it, no wonder there was a flower thief in the palace, who picked the beautiful ones.

"Have you heard why?" Concubine Ming knew that as soon as this happened, there would be rumors, but sometimes the rumors had to be believed.

Xiaobai hesitated for a long time, looking at Concubine Ming and stopping, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Ming saw Xiaobai's appearance, and was very curious about what rumors made it difficult for Xiaobai to speak.

"I heard those maidservants say that it was General Qin's ghost who came to ask for his life." Xiaobai faced Concubine Ming, and finally said what even he thought was ridiculous.

When Concubine Ming heard this, she also had a surprised expression, this rumor was too ridiculous.

Concubine Ming thought as she moved to a stone table, Xiao Bai hurriedly stepped forward to lift the teapot, poured a cup of water and put it in front of Concubine Ming, half paid, Concubine Ming's eyes were indifferent, and she gently took the teacup on the table and took a sip, "Xiao Bai, you go and find out who released this news." ”

Xiaobai's face was puzzled, he didn't know why Niangniang wanted to give such an order, although he didn't know, he immediately responded to Concubine Ming.

Concubine Ming saw her tilting her head, she must have been thinking about the reason, so she smiled lightly, "Xiaobai, do you really believe that it is the ghost of General Qin?" ”

Xiaobai hurriedly shook her head, she never believed in ghosts, and even if it was really General Qin's ghost back, she shouldn't find it in the palace first, but should go to her own mansion.

"That's it, such absurd words can only scare a group of girls in the palace, is it possible that there are really ghosts in this world." Concubine Ming's eyes tightened, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, "Someone must have taken advantage of General Qin's incident to cover up the facts." In this case, as long as you find the person who walked the rumor, you will know the truth of the matter. ”

Xiaobai stood in front of Concubine Ming, with admiration in her eyes, "Niangniang is really smart." ”

Concubine Ming looked at her, glanced at her, but her expression became serious, "Xiaobai, this matter is far from being as simple as we think, it has been a few days, and it must have passed into the ears of the person in the palace, even if she has been moving, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to get rid of her, as long as she is in this palace, there will not be a day of peace, if you can check it, you must not be reluctant, but they can't let them find you." ”

"What do you mean?" When Xiaobai heard this, Niangniang seemed to be suspicious...... His expression also became nervous.

"Xiaobai understands in her heart, except for her, no one in this palace dares to take your or my life! Whether it's her or not, you must not let her find you. Concubine Ming's tone of voice was a little harsh, and there was no room for sloppiness in this matter.

"The slave understands."
