Chapter 144: Escape from the palace
As soon as the morning dawned, Liang Yuexin called Xiaoxinzi and Qiushui.
I saw Liang Yuexin take out the jewelry box, open it and hand it to them. It's all glittering.
What does this mean? Xiao Xinzi and Qiu Shui looked at each other, not knowing why.
"It's almost the New Year, this is the year-end bonus for you in advance." Liang Yuexin said with a smile.
What is a year-end bonus? Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui shook their heads, still not understanding.
Liang Yuexin shrugged her shoulders, put the box directly in Xiao Xinzi's hand, and said, "Take it out, you divide it equally." ”
Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down.
"Did the minions do something wrong?" Xiao Xinzi was frightened. In the palace, if the master suddenly rewards the slave with something, the next moment he will be asked to leave the palace.
Qiushui was also confused, his eyes were moist, and he was about to cry.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Not happy to send you something? Liang Yuexin was depressed and stepped forward to pull them up.
But they fell on their knees and refused to get up.
"If Qiushui and Xiao Xinzi do something wrong, please punish the little master, don't drive us out." Qiushui said with a sad face.
"When did I say I was going to drive you away?" Liang Yuexin's face was innocent.
"Then why did the little lord suddenly reward us?"
Do you want to drive people away when you appreciate something? What are the rules? Liang Yuexin laughed.
Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui glanced at each other, and they were even more at a loss.
Liang Yuexin helped the two up and asked them to sit down. Then Patience explained: "I just think it's almost the New Year, so I'll give you something to reward you." You took out the money and gave it to your families. ”
It's just a very simple thing, how can it be complicated?
Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui glanced at the box, it was full of ornaments. They hurriedly waved their hands: "Such a valuable thing, the slave can't ask for it." ”
"Why can't you ask for it? Gotta take it for me! Liang Yuexin said in a commanding tone.
Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui didn't dare to speak out for an instant.
Liang Yuexin immediately laughed again and quipped: "This is a reward for you, just for you, no one else has it." ”
Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui laughed at the same time. This means that they are very important in the heart of the little master, and they are different from other palace people. But. They still didn't dare to ask for it.
"Don't mother-in-law, take it out quickly, divide it equally."
"This ......"
Liang Yuexin couldn't help but refuse them anymore, and let them hold the box tightly. And pushed them out.
Xiao Xinzi and Qiu Shui's hearts fluttered, they never dreamed that they would be able to receive so many rewards.
As soon as they left, Liang Yuexin closed the door tightly.
Liang Yuexin is packing up her baggage.
I picked a few relatively plain clothes, and I didn't want all those gorgeous clothes. The silver ticket and the gold and silver were stuffed into the baggage. As for the ornaments, they were all given to Xiaoxinzi and Qiushui just now.
Ornaments must be exchanged for silver tickets. It's also heavy in the baggage, Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui are loyal to her, and Liang Yuexin simply rewards them. At least when she is not in the palace, they will not have too difficult a time.
After packing up the baggage, he hid it under the bed. The next step is to wait for the evening.
After the court, Fulin continued to review the notebook in the Qianqing Palace.
For some reason, today he was so restless that he couldn't concentrate on the book. And I miss Xiao Xin very much.
There are countless voices in my head saying, go to Jingren Palace. But when he remembered what Xiao Xin said to him that night, he became angry. I just can't bear it.
At this moment, Liang Yuexin had already come to the front of the Qianqing Palace.
Liang Yuexin looked at the palace from a distance, did not approach, and did not plan to enter.
She didn't know why she came here, maybe she was following her heart's voice.
At this moment, Liang Yuexin is very eager to see Fulin again, even if it is from afar. But she waited outside the palace for a long time, and she didn't see Fu Lin come out.
waited until noon before Liang Yuexin reluctantly left. Just as she turned around, Fu Lin came out. Fu Lin is going to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother for lunch.
But Liang Yuexin had already turned around, and her figure was not in Fulin's line of sight. They didn't meet, and Fulin didn't even know that Xiao Xin had ever been here.
Liang Yuexin, as usual, dined with the palace people. There are those who talk and laugh, and there is nothing unusual.
Only she knew in her heart that today was her last day in the palace.
The palace people didn't notice the difference between the master, no one was a worm in her stomach, so naturally they didn't know what she thought.
At the same time, in the town of Yongning. Wen Xuan and Xue Qiao are doing a happy event.
During the banquet, a couple toasted the guests one by one.
Those who came to attend the wedding included Qingfeng, the fat man, Steward Li, and the people in the Third Master's Mansion. There are three tables in total.
When Shen Xi raised his glass to the breeze, the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.
Qingfeng smiled and raised his glass and drank it all.
Everyone is blessing this couple, a hundred years of good together, and an early birth of a noble son.
It would be great if lovers could become dependents.
Qingfeng poured himself wine and drank it alone. Back here, he thought of Xiao Xin again. I don't know how Xiaoxin is doing at this time?
One cup down, another cup poured. Steward Li next to him couldn't see it and reached out to stop it.
"Third master, don't drink anymore."
But how did Steward Li block the breeze? He opened Steward Li's hand and continued to drink his wine.
"Third master, the fat man will drink with you." The fat man suddenly walked over and clinked glasses with the breeze.
"Good!"
Cheers to the two of them, and drank it all.
They are all happy for the newcomer and feel sorry for themselves at the same time. At this moment, only wine is the best consolation.
Steward Li shook his head, and it was up to them.
Minutes and seconds passed, and soon it was nightfall.
Tonight, Liang Yuexin let the palace people who were keeping vigil go back to the room early to rest. No one was outside her room at the moment.
In the past, Liang Yuexin often didn't let the palace people keep vigil, so the palace people didn't think it was strange.
Liang Yuexin opened the window and looked at the moon in the sky. The moonlight shining on the earth is very soft and very beautiful. It's just that Liang Yuexin doesn't like to admire the moon, she only likes to admire the stars. And tonight, there are no stars.
At this time, Liang Yuexin had already changed into a palace maid's clothes. When the moon rose in mid-air, she picked up her baggage, opened the door softly, and walked out.
The main entrance of Jingren Palace was guarded by guards, and Liang Yuexin walked out through the back door.
Yang Cheng has been waiting at the east gate for a long time.
At this moment, the guards at the east gate were at their laxest, and there were only two guards guarding them. One of them is Yang Cheng.
Liang Yuexin lowered her head and walked towards Yang Cheng, and took out the palace card from her arms.
Yang Cheng took the palace card and glanced at it, then returned it to Liang Yuexin, and opened the palace door.
"Wait a minute." Another guard stopped her.
"It's the palace maid of Jingyun Palace. She has a card in her hand to leave the palace. Yang Cheng hurriedly explained.
This palace card was secretly taken by Liang Yuexin on the day she arrived at Jingyun Palace. Although the queen was abolished, there are still palace cards to leave the palace. Of course, no one thought of recovering her palace card.
Take the palace card of Jingyun Palace out of the palace, even if Fu Lin blames it. It's also a matter of Jingyun Palace, not about Yang Cheng. This was also thought out by Liang Yuexin in advance.
"It's so late, why are you still out of the palace?" The guard was already suspicious.
Liang Yuexin has always lowered her head, and now she still said in a low voice: "The queen's affairs, are you in charge?" ”
"Concubine Jing has ......," the guard was about to say something. was stopped by Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng whispered in the guard's ear: "Although the queen has been demoted to Concubine Jing, it is difficult to guarantee that she will make a comeback." Let's not offend the people of Jingyun Palace. ”
The guard thought about it. Anyway, the palace maid went out of the palace with a token, and he just did things according to the rules. It doesn't matter if she goes out during the day or in the middle of the night. It doesn't matter if you wave your hand.
It seems that the majesty of the queen is still there, and it can't be eliminated for a while.
Yang Cheng waved his hand at Liang Yuexin, Liang Yuexin raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked outside the palace.
Liang Yuexin raised her head just now, and she happened to be seen by Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui couldn't sleep, but she came out for a walk. Weiyang Palace is not far from the east gate, and she walked all the way here. Unexpectedly, I saw Liang Yuexin leaving the palace dressed as a palace maid.
Concubine Hui was shocked. Liang Yuexin is so bold. If she is discovered, the emperor will have to put her in the cold palace.
Liang Yuexin has just stepped out of the palace gate, if she goes to tell the emperor now, presumably the Royal Forest Army will definitely be able to chase Liang Yuexin back. However, Concubine Hui didn't plan to tell the emperor. She didn't want the emperor to chase Liang Yuexin back. The best, Liang Yuexin will never come back.
Yang Cheng had already prepared a dark horse for Liang Yuexin outside the palace. Liang Yuexin found it as soon as she left the palace gate, and Liang Yuexin was kind to Yang Cheng, so when she asked Yang Cheng to help her out of the palace, Yang Cheng agreed without saying a word. It's just that good people have good rewards.
Liang Yuexin got on the horse and looked back at the Forbidden City.
Thousands of emotions welled up in my heart. She went in a year ago. A year later she came out again. For more than a year, it feels like someone else's whole life. It's all sweet and sour.
Rokuro, goodbye. Never again.
Liang Yuexin took a deep breath, and the air outside the palace was really better than outside the palace. Good. I'm free from now on!
"Driving-" Liang Yuexin whipped the horse and did not look back.
Early in the morning, Concubine Hui instructed Min Zhi to leave the palace and bring a letter to Prince Xiang's mansion to Fang Fujin.
In the side hall, Qiushui sent Liang Yuexin breakfast as usual.
knocked on the door for a long time and didn't see a response from the little master, so Qiushui pushed the door and went in.
This one goes in. Qiushui was immediately stunned. Why isn't the little master in the room? So early, where did it go?
Qiushui never thought that Liang Yuexin had already left the palace, and maybe she would come back in a while.
But until lunchtime, Liang Yuexin didn't come back. Qiushui was in a hurry, so he asked the palace people to look for it, and asked Xiao Xinzi to tell the emperor.
Soon after, Fulin hurried in. In the side hall, the palace people knelt on the ground.
"How could Xiao Xin be gone?" Fu Lin was angry, why didn't the good man even disappear from his master?
"The slave doesn't know, I didn't see the little master in the room early this morning." Qiushui replied in a trembling voice.
Fu Lin had a bad premonition in his heart, flicked his sleeves, and walked directly into Liang Yuexin's room.
The room was no different from usual, and Fulin looked at Xiao Xin's clothes, and it seemed that there was no less. Liang Yuexin has a lot of clothes, she just packed a few pieces, so naturally she can't find them.
When Fu Lin saw that all the silver tickets in the drawer were gone, he gasped. Could it be ......
Fulin immediately instructed Xiao Shunzi: "Go and check, from last night to today, who has been out of the palace?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Shunzi immediately went to check.
Xiao Xinzi and Qiushui glanced at each other, and at the same time remembered the ornaments that the little lord had rewarded them with today.
Xiao Xinzi moved his lips and plucked up a lot of courage before he said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that the slave doesn't know whether to say or not. ”
"Say!"
"Back to the emperor, the little master suddenly rewarded the slave with a lot of ornaments today, and the slave didn't know why."
As soon as Xiao Xinzi's words came out, Fu Lin's face changed, and his hands were clenched into fists tightly. Xiao Xin, are you going to leave me?
After a while, Junko returned.
"Back to the emperor, a total of three people have left the palace from last night to today. Last night was a palace maid, and this morning it was two eunuchs. ”
"Which palace maid?" The palace maid who left the palace at night attracted the attention of Fu Lin.
"Back to the emperor, yes...... She is the palace maid of Jingyun Palace. The guard said that the palace maid was holding Concubine Jing's exit from the palace at that time. When she said this, Xiao Shunzi also felt strange, why did Concubine Jing send the palace maid out of the palace in the middle of the night?
As soon as Xiao Shunzi's voice fell, Fulin sat on the chair.
There is no need to interrogate, the palace maid who left the palace must be Xiao Xin, and she took Concubine Jing's exit token.
It wasn't until now that Fulin understood why Liang Yuexin went to Jingyun Palace to count Concubine Jing, it turned out to be a palace card.
suddenly remembered Xiao Xin's sentence again, "Tonight, after the emperor leaves, please don't come again." It turned out that it was a farewell word.
Fu Lin bit his lip, he didn't expect Xiao Xin to be so ruthless that he wanted to leave him. Xiao Xin was kind to the palace people and gave them ornaments. But for him, not a single letter was left. Just left without a sound.
Liang Yuexin fled in the direction of Yongning Town without stopping. She knew that as soon as the morning dawned, she would be found out that she was not in Jingren Palace, and Fulin would definitely send someone to find her. It is very dangerous to return to Yongning Town. But Liang Yuexin still has to go back.
She was going to see the fat man and tell him that Xue Qiao was dead. I also had to hand over the sachet left by Xue Qiao to the fat man, that was the only thing that Xue Qiao left.
When she saw the fat man, she ran away again. So Liang Yuexin didn't stay for a moment now, didn't rest.
Wenxuan and Shen Xi went out for their honeymoon according to the original plan. They said goodbye to Qingfeng, Steward Li, and the fat man and set off. It's a pity that Wen Xuan didn't know that his sister had escaped from the palace and couldn't meet her.
As soon as Wenxuan and Shen Xi left, the fat man continued to open the shop. When there were no customers, he watched into the distance outside the store, waiting for Xue Qiao to return.
Steward Li kept Qingfeng for a few more days. In his words, the third master has been gone for more than a year, and he must tell the third master one by one the account books for more than a year.
Qingfeng was not in a hurry to go back, so he stayed.
The horse had been running, and the hand holding the rope was already blistered and painful. But Liang Yuexin still didn't stop to rest. She kept running like this, bent on seeing the fat man.
If the fat man forgives her, if the fat man is still willing to follow her, she will take the fat man away, so that the fat man can eat meat every day.
kept running, and in the middle of the night of the next day, Liang Yuexin finally returned to Yongning Town. (To be continued.) )
