Tang Jingchen told Chunlan to go to Tang's house to see Lamei, but after a while, she suddenly changed her mind again, "No, I'll go, I have to see Lamei with my own eyes to rest assured." ”

Chunlan was taken aback, "How can you get out of the palace?" This...... The emperor and the queen mother will not agree. ”

In the Celestial Empire, there is no concubine out of the palace, even if they go back to their parents' house, only the concubines who are favored by the emperor can enter the palace to visit, and those who are not favored, once they enter the deep palace, they will never see their parents and relatives again until they die.

Therefore, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.

Tang Jingchen bit his lower lip, "Let's sneak out, now the emperor doesn't come to me, and no one comes to visit the door, and he won't be noticed if he walks for a day and a half." ”

Lamei has always been loyal to her, and if Lamei suffers in the Tang family, she really can't sit idly by.

Changing into the clothes of a little eunuch, Tang Jingchen wiped his face with ash from the bottom of the pot, Chunlan was also dressed up, and the two planned to go out from the small door on the other side of the imperial dining room, where it was open all year round because they had to deliver vegetables and take out the garbage, and there were many dirty little eunuchs, which would not attract attention.

Dongxue pretended to be Tang Jingchen and lay on the bed, Tang Jingchen comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll go and come back quickly, I heard that no outsiders have come in and out of Yuxuan these days, and they won't show their stuffing." ”

Since the emperor didn't come, everyone in the palace said that Tang Jingchen had fallen out of favor, and she didn't say anything about the cold here, even the other palace maids and eunuchs who listened to Yuxuan didn't come to serve when they were called, and there was only Chunlan and Dongxue every day.

Dongxue said: "The slave is not worried about herself, the slave is worried about the mother, the mother must be more careful." ”

Tang Jingchen nodded, and walked out of Tingyuxuan with Chunlan quickly, because those little palace maids and eunuchs were hiding in their rooms and lazy, and no one came out to check.

Chunlan had no choice but to whisper: "I usually think that they are not good at serving Niangniang, but now I feel that they are not completely useless, if they are too diligent, we will not be able to come out so smoothly." ”

The two of them walked all the way, without encountering any accidents, and came to the back door of the imperial dining room smoothly, just when there was a cart of garbage to be thrown out, the chief eunuch saw Tang Jingchen and Chunlan at a glance.

"You two come here and get this garbage out."

The garbage truck in the imperial dining room is loaded with some kitchen waste, what leftovers and rotten leaves and vegetable soup, full of a big car, how disgusting it is, fortunately it is winter, there is nothing rancid, but Rao is so, Tang Jingchen also wants to vomit.

However, this is not the time to shirk, if someone sees that something is wrong, it will be wasted.

The master and servant stepped forward with their heads down, Tang Jingchen was a concubine, an official lady before entering the palace, and Chunlan was a maid, neither of them had done rough work, and they didn't know how to push a cart at all.

Not only did he not push the car away, but he almost overturned it.

The eunuch in charge was almost angry, "Will you two work?" ”

Seeing that they kept their heads down and didn't look very familiar, the chief eunuch couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "You two raise your heads." ”

Tang Jingchen and Chunlan were startled and hesitated to refuse.

The chief eunuch was even more suspicious, and he couldn't help but ask: "What are your two names, what are you doing in the imperial dining room, and who is your boss?" ”

Tang Jingchen is not afraid of eunuchs, but he is worried that he will not be able to get out if he is recognized, and if he can't get out this time, he is afraid that he will have no chance in the future.

Just when I didn't know what to do, a eunuch in the distance shouted: "Don't be idle, the Queen Mother invited the Dejun Wang's family to the palace for lunch, and the emperor and the queen mother will attend, so we will be ready at this time." ”

The eunuch in charge couldn't care about Tang Jingchen and Chunlan, so he hurriedly trotted all the way over to find the eunuch to inquire about the news.

Tang Jingchen gave Chunlan a look, and the two took the opportunity to slip away.

Walked out of the palace from the back door and walked a long way, until no one chased him out, Tang Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, Chunlan patted her chest, "I scared the slave to death just now, and I thought I was going to be exposed." ”

I was curious for a while, "I don't know why the Queen Mother invited King Dejun to the palace for dinner, I heard that King Dejun's family was not treated by the Queen Mother." ”

Tang Jingchen knew something, so he told Chunlan, "King Dejun was born to the former emperor's Rou Guifei, and the Queen Mother fought fiercely with Rou Guifei at that time, Rou Guifei is beautiful and has means, and the Queen Mother is not her opponent." ”

After a pause, she continued: "It's just that Concubine Rou's life is not good, she died of illness, and after the emperor ascended the throne, the Queen Mother was in charge, and she didn't let Concubine Rou's son be crowned prince, but only a county king." ”

Chunlan stuck out her tongue, "I said, this King Dejun is also the son of the former emperor, why didn't he become a prince, the queen mother is too resentful, everyone is dead, and she is angry with other people's sons." ”

Tang Jingchen thought of his son, and couldn't help but redden, "Who said it wasn't, but some women are like this, they have to hurt other people's children before they are willing." ”

Chunlan hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be sad, Niangniang, little brother is just going back to heaven temporarily, and he will come back in a while, you are still young, take care of your body, and regenerate him ten or eight." ”

Tang Jingchen couldn't help but laugh, "What ten or eight, am I a pig?" ”

For a while, he said: "Let's not delay our efforts, let's go to the Tang family quickly." ”

Chunlan inquired about the address of the Tang family before leaving the palace, took Tang Jingchen into an alley, and walked to a door.

"This is the back door of the Tang family, the slave maid has inquired, the mother-in-law guarding the back door is the most greedy for money, as long as we give her money, she will let us in to see Lamei."

Tang Jingchen nodded, Chunlan knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened with a "squeak", and a mother-in-law poked her head out and saw two dirty little eunuchs standing at the door, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"My second grandmother is sick and can't enter the palace, let alone see guests."

Tang Jingchen was stunned, she didn't say anything, she knew that she was here to find Lamei?

Looking down at her current appearance, she realized again that the eunuchs from the palace were naturally either looking for Tang Ning or Lamei.

Chunlan hurriedly presented a bag of silver, "Ask the eldest lady for convenience, my master is very concerned about Lamei, that is, she can't enter the palace, so let's go in and have a look, and go back to my master to reply." ”

The mother-in-law was unmoved, "The old lady ordered, the second grandmother needs to recuperate, and no one is allowed to see her." ”

Tang Jingchen became more and more convinced that something had happened to Lamei, otherwise someone in the palace would come to visit Lamei, not only the grace of Lamei, but also the grace of the Tang family, and the old lady of the Tang family would not stop her in every way.

"Did Lamei get sick when she came back from the temple?" She asked unexpectedly.

The mother-in-law was caught off guard and blurted out: "She is locked up at home, and there is no one to serve around her, so what kind of temple is she going to." ”

Tang Jingchen and Chunlan looked at each other.
