Chapter 53: Countermeasures
Qizheng summoned Qingchu into the dormitory under the pretext of resting, leaving Lan'er and Liu Yi to watch Caiju in the outer hall.
Qingchu walked into the dormitory, knelt in front of Qizheng with her skirt on: "What does the master need the slave to do, if the slave and maid can't do it, they must take their lives to repay the master." ”
Qizheng hurriedly helped Qingchu up: "Silly girl, even if you don't succeed, I can't blame you, it's the Queen Mother who fights with us, how many chances can we win." ”
"Master, the slave knows that this matter is very important, Princess Jiayi must not marry to the Jin Kingdom, the slave and maid are just a palace maid, the queen mother naturally does not dare to help Princess Jiayi speak, what does the master want the slave to do, the slave and the maid will not hesitate." Qing Chu looked at Qi Zheng Dao.
Qi Zheng leaned into Qingchu's ear, whispered, and bowed slightly.
Qingchu nodded: "The slave understands, the master can rest assured." turned around and walked out of the hall, stood in the outer hall, and said to Lan'er and Liu Yi: "Lan'er, Liu Yi, the master just took a nap, and his hair bun is a little messy, go in and dress the master." After speaking, he nodded his head, and the two girls understood and hurriedly walked into the dormitory.
"The concubine will rest so soon?" Caiju looked at Qingchu suspiciously.
"Why, I can't lie to you, besides, you were just sent by the Queen Mother to do things, why do you care so much." Qing Chu waited for Cai Ju and said coldly.
Cai Ju glanced at Qing Chu and wanted to move into the dormitory, but Qing Chu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Why don't you understand the rules so much, this is Zhaoxuan Palace, the master didn't tell you, why are you going in?" ”
"You." Caiju glared at Qingchu angrily, turned her eyes, held her mouth, took a deep breath, and changed her face to a smile: "Sister Qingchu, don't misunderstand, the slave maid has no other meaning, you see, the slave maid was sent by the Queen Mother to serve the concubine master, and she should also help the two palace maids to dress up the master, otherwise if the Queen Mother blames the slave and maid for being lazy, how can the slave and maid be worthy." ”
Qing Chu sneered and mocked: "Hehe, look how nice this is to say, those two palace maids?" They are palace maids, so what are you? Could it be that it is still the master? Don't think that the palace maid around the Queen Mother doesn't treat herself as a slave, you are sent by the Queen Mother, but it is just nice to say that it is to serve my master, as long as my master does not step out of this palace door half a step, even if you stand at the door for a night, do nothing, go back to your life and still receive the reward, the Queen Mother praised you too late, how can I blame you. ”
"Sister Qingchu is right, the slave maid is indeed a slave, isn't the slave just to serve the master, besides, the slave maid dresses up the queen mother every day, a good hand, now the concubine is the main dresser, the slave maid can just come in handy, let the slave maid in." Caiju pushed Qingchu's hand and said.
"I won't let you in today, what's wrong?" Qing Chu said lightly.
Caiju's face sank, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go today." Pushing away Qing Chu's hand and trying to break into the dormitory, he was blocked by a figure again.
With a "snap", Qi Zheng raised his hand and slapped it heavily on Caiju's face, and said sharply: "A slave who doesn't understand the rules, this concubine will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Queen Mother today, lest you be so lawless in front of the Queen Mother in the future." ”
"The concubine atonements, the slave and the maid are just ......." Caiju hurriedly knelt down and argued.
Qizheng glanced at Caiju, turned her eyes to look at Qingchu, and said, "Why is your girl from her, didn't this concubine let you take care of the palace maids of Zhaoxuan Palace?" ”
"Master, where does the slave dare to care about her, she is the person next to the Queen Mother." Qing Chu squinted at Cai Ju and mocked.
Qizheng walked to the hall, sat down slowly, and brushed the silk silk in his hand: "Okay, you can't manage people, you can always get things done, go get some ginseng bird's nest, this concubine wants to drink some ginseng tea and eat some bird's nest porridge." ”
"Yes, slave and maid." Haruchu owes the way.
"Slow, if the concubine wants to drink ginseng tea and eat bird's nest porridge, why don't you send it from the imperial dining room, you have to send someone to get the ingredients and come back to make it." Caiju Road.
Qi Zheng snorted and laughed, and said slowly: "What the imperial dining room does not meet the taste of this concubine, this concubine loves to eat what Qing Chu made, you are sent by the Queen Mother to see the concubine, not the maid who lives in the concubine." ”
Caiju was a little unconvinced: "Since the concubine master said so, the slave and maid categorically did not dare to stop it, but the slave and maid advised the concubine master not to do anything that violated the holy will of the queen mother, and if something happened, don't blame the slave and the maid for not reminding the concubine master." ”
"Thank you Miss Caiju for reminding me, if this concubine doesn't do anything, will something happen? Okay, you get up, Qingchu, don't go quickly. Qi Zheng said.
Qing Chu answered, and walked out of the Zhaoxuan Palace, Qi Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and squinted at Cai Ju: "Why don't you go and stand at the door?" Just this kung fu, I'm afraid that this concubine will go back and forth from this door a few times. ”
Caiju hurriedly got up and stood at the door with heavy eyes. Qizheng looked at Liu Yi and Lan'er sideways, the two girls bowed slightly, Qizheng smiled, and ordered Liu Yi to serve tea, hold the tea cup, taste the fragrant tea in the cup, and wait for Qingchu to come back.
"Master." Qing Chu walked into the hall with a cup.
Caiju looked at Qingchu and looked up and down: "It takes so long to get some ingredients?" ”
"Master, the slave and maid have already taken it back, but I am afraid that the master will use it now, so I directly prepared it and brought it to the master." Qing Chu Road.
Qizheng nodded and stood up: "Okay, let's go to the dormitory, there are outsiders present, this palace can't swallow it, Liu Yi, Lan'er, you have to take care of the palace to this concubine, don't let anything disturb the appetite of this palace." With that, he turned and entered the temple.
"Yes." Liu Yi and Lan'er bowed, and the two looked at Caiju and smiled proudly.
Qing Chu walked into the dormitory with Qizheng, leaned against the door, looked back outside, and saw Caiju standing at the door lively, so he put the cup on the table, walked to Qizheng, and owed it.
Qi Zheng hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you heard?" ”
Qing Chu nodded: "The slave maid made some silver, and finally asked, the Queen Mother plans to send Princess Jiayi out of the palace late tomorrow night, and the people of the Jin Kingdom will greet her outside Pingjing City, and it is Fei Hengyu who sends her relatives, Lord Fei." ”
When Qi Zheng heard this, her eyebrows frowned, and she said softly: "The Queen Mother really wants to secretly send the princess out of the palace without telling the emperor, but Lord Fei is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and it is not easy to get from him, so the only way to stop this is to let the emperor come forward to stop this way." ”
"But master, you can't get out, that Caiju is so close, if any of us go out, she will definitely be suspicious, and how can she let the emperor know." Qing Chu said helplessly.
Qi Zheng stared: "If the soft one doesn't work, we can only come to the hard one." Beckoning lightly, Qing Chu turned to the ear, Qi Zheng leaned into Qing Chu's ear, and whispered countermeasures.
On the evening of the second day, instead of stopping the rain that had begun in the morning, it was getting heavier and heavier, and Qing Chu brought a set of palace maid's clothes and put them on the bed: "Master, the clothes are ready, the master should put them on quickly." ”
Qizheng nodded, changed her clothes, combed the palace maid's hairstyle, and sat in the dormitory anxiously waiting.
Qing Chu walked to the outer hall and ordered: "The master is on bed, Liu Yi, Lan'er, you are still guarding in this hall tonight, and I will serve the master inside." ”
"Yes." Liu Yi and Lan'er responded.
Qing Chu returned to the dormitory, stood by the door and looked out, closed the curtain, walked to Qi Zheng and stood beside him, Qi Zheng looked out the window, and said with a wry smile: "Is this God crying?" ”
Qingchu looked at the rain pouring outside the window: "This is Queen Gongxian crying, how could she have thought that the Queen Mother would treat her daughter like this, maybe she was moved to cry, at least there is a master who treats the princess sincerely and saves the princess at all costs." ”
"No matter how heavy the rain is, the concubine's mind will not change, even if the queen mother wants to deal with the concubine afterwards, the concubine has no regrets." Qi Zheng stared at the rain outside the window and said.
"Master, the queen mother will go to bed when she is young, and the eldest princess Jiayi will go out of the palace when she is a son, and the master will definitely be in time to ask the emperor, don't worry, master." Qing Chu Road.
Qi Zheng turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, her heartstrings tightening as she leaked more and more......
When the time passed, Qizheng walked out of the dormitory with a low head, looked at Liu Yi and Lan'er standing on both sides, bowed slightly, and walked towards the palace door.
"Stop, why are you going out so late?" Caiju shouted.
Qizheng turned around and saw Caiju's body gradually sliding and falling to the ground, Lan'er looked at Qizheng with a wooden stick and nodded with a smile.
Qi Zheng looked at the colorful chrysanthemum on the ground, snickered in his heart, didn't think much about it, and hurriedly ran towards Qianning Palace in the rain. When I entered the Qianning Gate, I saw that there were several eunuchs and guards guarding the front hall, and the palace door was tightly hidden. Qizheng stepped forward and saw that it was Li Changhai guarding the door, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Li, this concubine has something important to see the emperor, please pass it on." ”
Li Changhai was a little surprised when he saw that the person was Qizheng, looked up and down again, and said: "It turns out that the concubine master, why did the concubine master come to see the emperor in such a heavy rain." ”
"It's a long story, and I also ask my father-in-law to report that my concubine must see the emperor tonight." Qi Zheng said hurriedly.
Li Changhai looked a little embarrassed, and said: "This, originally with Princess Yu's kindness to the slave, the slave should serve the concubine master without hesitation, but today the Queen Mother specially recruited Lan Jieyu to accompany her, saying that if anyone alarms the emperor tonight, we will all be killed, and the slave's life was saved by the princess, so it doesn't matter if it is sent, but these people." Li Changhai looked at the guards on the left and right.
"Father-in-law, if something happens, the concubine will bear it together, and the concubine must see the emperor tonight no matter what." Qi Zheng said categorically.
"I'm afraid you can't afford this, let alone spread the word, even if you call the emperor here, the concubine master, the slaves will also have to report to the queen mother, and then the concubine master will inevitably be punished, and the slaves will also have to suffer." Li Changhai was embarrassed.
When Qi Zheng heard this, his heart fell to the bottom, and he stumbled a few steps, "What should I do, what should I do, if I can't see the emperor, who can save Jiayi, who can save ......" Qi Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the night sky with dense raindrops, and tears came out of his eyes......
