When Xie Yiying returned to the house, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky had not yet dawned, so in order to prevent being noticed, she and Thirteen Niang entered through the side door.

When I entered my own small courtyard, I saw that the lights in the main house were still on from a distance.

Xie Yiying waved her hand to signal Thirteen Niang to step back, walked over and opened the door lightly, and saw Qingmei sitting by the candle flame embroidering things, probably staying up all night without sleeping, and she couldn't stand it at the moment, so she stopped and rubbed her eyes after embroidering for a while.

"Ome?" Xie Yiying called her softly.

Qingmei stared at her for a while as if she hadn't reacted, and Xie Yiying saw that her eyes were slowly filled with tears.

Then she suddenly threw aside the embroidery in her hand, ran over and hugged her: "Madam! Madame, you're finally back! ”

"Oh, what are you crying about," Xie Yiying looked at the person stupidly, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "I thought they told you that I came back today, and you were waiting for me here." Blame me for not thinking much about it, too, I made a decision and came back, where did they have time to tell you. ”

"Qingmei hasn't slept since she came back yesterday, and I've been waiting for you here." The pothos also happened to come in, holding a bowl of soup for the refreshing use of the green plum. Seeing Xie Yiying coming back, she didn't hold back her tears.

I was worried about her, but now that I saw that she had been detained for a day, and her face and clothes were dirty, I thought that she must have suffered a lot. Not to mention that before getting married, when she was still in the boudoir, how could she have suffered a little hardship, and she was taken captive, she must have been angry and afraid. Thinking of Xie Yiying's experience, tears flowed even more.

"You two, what a little girl, your wife and I are not doing well, you can't stop crying. Are you ashamed? She knew that the two girls were worried about herself, and she forced her tiredness to laugh and joke with them.

Qingmei finally held back her crying, raised her sleeve and wiped her face embarrassedly, and then dragged Xie Yiying to sit down: "Madam, sit down for a while, I'll go boil water and bathe you." Pothos, don't cry, go and cook some food for Madame, as much as you can, Madame......" said and choked up, "Madame must not have eaten well in the past two days." You see the ladies have lost weight. ”

"Where is the weight loss, Sensei said that I have eaten, even if I haven't eaten for two days, I can't lose weight." You little girl, it's all nonsense. ”

Qingmei didn't listen to her, raised her hand to wipe her face, and ran out in a hurry.

The green pothos tears were still hanging on her face, and she sobbed aggrievedly: "Madam, you have really lost weight." Let me tell you, Qingmei has had a hard time these two days, she blames herself for not protecting you that day, and feels that it is all her own fault, in fact, she is a little girl, even if she fights hard that day, it is useless. She was knocked unconscious that day, and when she woke up, she cried, worried that you were so worried. Then they came and told us that you were all right, and she was relieved, but she still didn't sleep, and just sat there waiting for you to come back, refusing to close her eyes. ”

As he spoke, he began to cry again: "You can be considered back." ”

"Oh, little tears, your wife, I'm back, you're not happy, and you're still crying. Go and make me something to eat, I'm starving. ”

Xie Yiying complained without knowing whether it was true or not, and the pothos immediately stopped the pump as if it had been screwed on, and hurriedly ran out in response.

The time connection between the two compartments is just right, here Qingmei boiled water and waited for Xie Yiying to take a bath, and the green pothos over there also put a table of dishes. Because I wanted to hurry up, I just cooked a bowl of tomato egg drop soup, two green vegetables and a meat dish, and then used the rice at noon to scramble an egg fried rice.

Xie Yiying washed cleanly, wore a moon-white underwear, and ate a comfortable and satisfying meal.

After the basic hunger problem is solved, it is finally possible to slow down and talk about business.

"Tell me about that Mrs. Li."

Qingmei had already regained her composure at this time, so she replied: "It was His Highness's people who informed Mrs. Li to come over, and they seem to have already explained the matter, Mrs. Li drank tea here in the afternoon, had another meal in the evening, and then left." ”

"Well, did you give her a backup gift?"

"Madame don't worry, when I came from Beijing, I brought some valuables for personal exchanges, and this time I turned out the red coral from the East China Sea from the library, put it in a gift box, and gave it to Mrs. Li."

"That's okay, Mrs. Li is the cousin of the eldest princess of Gaoyang, you can't treat her like other ladies in this city, and this time she has helped so much, and she will prepare another gift to send to her house tomorrow."

"The slave understands."

Xie Yiying thought about it, and there was nothing else to ask, so she drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl and stretched comfortably: "Then I'll go to sleep, I remember that Xu Fu handed over a post two days ago, inviting me to her house as a guest today?" Wake me up a moment later. ”

Qingmei had already made the bed while speaking: "Understood, Madame, come and rest." ”

"You two can sleep for a while, and call other maids to watch the night."

"Slaves are not sleepy." Qingmei seemed to be relieved to look at her, and refused to leave.

"Oh, my little Qingmei, if you don't rest and rest, you won't be energetic in the morning, and we still have a few tough battles to fight." hugged her waist like a coquettish, "I can't live without you, I can't remember the names of those ladies, and what Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang, I see that the two of them look like twins, if it weren't for you to remind me, I would have made a hundred and eight jokes." ”

Xie Yiying knew that Qingmei's brain couldn't turn and she was still harsh on herself, so she deliberately said something that needed her, and finally barely played a role. In order to have the energy to escort her wife, Qingmei agreed to go to sleep.

By noon, the person sent by Li Yuanwai to look for his daughter had not returned, but the person sent to check Xie Yiying's condition had come back to report the news.

"Sir...... The four imperial concubines are gone. ”

Li Yuanwai was drinking Sanyuan soup because of a headache, and when he heard this, he didn't hold the bowl steadily, and shook his hand, so he spilled out most of the bowl. His pants were suddenly wet, but he didn't have time to care, he pointed at the person and asked, "You say it again!" ”

When the man heard this tone, he knew that it was not good, and knelt on the ground and shook like chaff: "Return...... Back to the old man...... Four...... The four imperial concubines are gone. ”

"How could it be gone!" Li Yuanwai slammed the bowl to the ground, "What about the people guarding her!" What they say! ”

"They...... They're all gone......"

Gone?

Li Yuanwai knew that something was wrong. The four princesses were either rescued, or the hired people...... Eat two and yin one.

In any case, it doesn't matter if you know where the Fourth Imperial Concubine has gone.

"Go find out where she went, live to see people, dead to see corpses!"

At this time, the butler suddenly stumbled in, and the shoulder of the door was still slammed on the door frame: "Master! ”

"Bastard thing! What to say! ”

"The Fourth Imperial Princess, she, she" The housekeeper knew that this was important, and she didn't even breathe and reported, "She went to the Xu Mansion today. ”
