After a long time, the Nala clan suddenly said: "Hongshi, do you remember what you promised to the palace because of the Xu family's affairs?"

Hongshi's expression was shocked, and he said bitterly for a long time: "Erchen remembers-if the Xu family really becomes a threat to Erchen, Erchen will kill her with his own hands." ”

"Good!" Nala nodded slowly, "Now is the time when the Xu family is dead, if this palace wants to kill her, do you still want to stop this palace." ”

Although Hongshi was reluctant to give up a thousand and ten thousand in his heart, he knew that he couldn't shake his head, otherwise everything he had worked hard would come to nothing, and there would be no chance of resurrection in the future, just like the abolished prince of the previous dynasty. Therefore, in the end, there were only four words that came out of his mouth, "Erchen doesn't dare!" ”

Nala did not nod or shake his head, but walked silently into the courtyard, it was the end of summer, and many insects were crouching in the grass and trees to show their presence.

"Master, do you want to kill the Xu family? But the emperor sent so many people to keep an eye on it, and you just said that Concubine Xi Guifei is likely to send someone to guard it, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to get it. Xiao Ningzi, who followed her step by step, said cautiously.

"It's not easy to get, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't get it." After that, she whispered in Xiao Ningzi's ear that the method she thought of just now was not perfect, and she would never use such an imperfect method in normal times, but at this moment, it was imminent, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

After listening to Nala's words, even Xiao Ningzi couldn't help but look horrified, "Master, wouldn't it be too risky to do this?" ”

"Do you think Hongu is still qualified not to take risks?" Nala's words made Xiao Ningzi dare not speak, so he lowered his head and stepped back, arranging according to Nala's words.

After Xiao Ningzi retreated, Nala turned to look at Hongshi, who didn't dare to speak out behind him, and said, "Accompany the palace to the Internal Affairs Mansion." ”

Hongshi didn't ask Nala what he was doing at the Interior Office so late, because it must have been for his business, except for Hiroshi, Nala didn't bring another person, nor did he hold the lamp, so he relied on the street lamp and the moonlight in the sky to come to the Interior Mansion.

At this moment, it was past the third watch, and in the dead of night, even the little eunuch guarding the door had already squinted and dozed, until someone patted him on the shoulder before he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and said subconsciously: "Who?" ”

No one answered him, and when he was about to ask again, his eyes had already seen the two people standing in front of him clearly through the nearby light, and he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "The slave asks for peace for the queen mother, and for the second elder brother." ”

Nala only said one sentence, "Take this palace to your chief." ”

Soon, they were led to a flower hall for tea, and after a while, Qian Moduo, who had been woken up in the middle of the night, appeared in the flower hall, saluted, and then stood quietly aside, without asking what the Nala clan was doing here late at night. To be able to do his position, he is not a talkative person, he is waiting, waiting for the Nala clan to take the initiative to speak.

Sure enough, after waiting for a little effort, he heard Nala say: "Disturbing the manager of Qian to rest late at night is really not from this palace." ”

This extremely polite sentence frightened Qian Moduo and jumped up, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't say that, otherwise the slave will be embarrassed." ”

Nala smiled slightly, put down the tea in his hand that he had not drunk, and said: "Time is really fast, this palace remembers that when I first met you, I was just a steward, and now I have become the head of the Internal Affairs Office." ”

The more Qian Moduo listened, the more wrong he became, he rolled his eyes, and said cautiously: "Whether it's in charge or in charge, a slave is just a minion, and a minion never dares to forget this." ”

The corners of Nala's lips curled slightly, and he said, "So, there is another thing that Mr. Qian has forgotten?" ”

Qian Moduo thought about it for a while, and he already understood, "The grace of the queen's mother, the slaves also dare not forget." "He is not the only deputy governor of the Internal Affairs Office, and in the end he was able to overcome the lack of the chief manager, not because he is capable, but because someone helped him behind his back, this person is Nala's family, although it is only a few words, but help is help, and he can't turn his face and deny it.

It is precisely for this reason that Qian Modo has always maintained due respect for the Nala clan and has not been slackened because of her ups and downs. Of course, when the Nala clan was ordered by Yinzhen to be grounded in Kunning Palace and no one was allowed to enter or leave, it was a different matter.

"I can't believe you really remember." Nala nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "This palace is a little troublesome, and I want Manager Qian to do a small favor, I wonder if Manager Qian is willing to agree?" ”

"Niangniang is just what she orders." Qian Moduo knew that the Nala clan would not come here late at night for no reason, let alone suddenly mention the past, there must be her purpose.

"When the palace Zhilu Dao Xu Guiren went to Hui'an Temple, in addition to the personal palace maid Zirong, he also brought a few guards, and these names are recorded in your hands, and the palace needs to know the Dao."

At this time, the matter of the Xu clan had not yet spread in the palace, so Qian Moduo was very strange about Nala's words, and he didn't understand what she wanted the names of the guards to do. However, Qian Moduo didn't ask much, but just went to bring the booklet with his name as he said. In addition to the few guards who followed the Xu family to Hui'an Temple at the beginning, the guards who were led by Liu Hu later were also recorded.

The Nala clan asked these people about the general situation one by one, and Qian Moduo didn't know everything, and only said six or seven out of ten, but this was enough for the Nala clan.

"These guards are now back in the guard camp?" Facing Nala's seemingly casual inquiry, Qian Moduo nodded and said, "If you return to Niangniang, it is exactly." ”

Nala asked again, "Are there any of these people who are on duty tonight?" ”

"There are several." Afterwards, Qian Moduo brought a new booklet, and then pointed out several of the names in the booklet. Although the dispatch of guards is the business of the guard battalion, because it is guarding the forbidden land of the palace, and the Internal Affairs Office is in charge of the affairs of the palace, every time the guard battalion selects guards to guard the Forbidden City, it will leave a record in the Internal Affairs Office.

Nala nodded, and after secretly writing down the names, he closed the booklet and said, "This time it's really troublesome for Mr. Qian." ”

Qian Moduo hurriedly said: "Niangniang is too polite, everything is what a slave should do." ”

Nala nodded slightly, got up and said, "I've been bothering Mr. Qian for so long, I'm really sorry not to go, it's late, and the palace should go back." ”

"The slave sends the mother, and the second brother is sent away." Qian Moduo always felt that the Nala clan came very strangely tonight, and there was no palace person by his side, only a second elder brother. Moreover, it stands to reason that after the second elder brother opened his teeth and built a mansion, he should not spend the night in the palace again; In particular, Nala also came here to ask a puzzling question, which must be strange.
