Chapter 56: The golden cicada sheds its shell

Since the last banquet, Xiao Mingyue has been much cleaner, and all countries are preparing to find the whereabouts of the big fish in the Northern Underworld, and even Xiao Wen has begun to secretly send his warlocks to search for him with armor, but he rarely summons Xiao Mingyue again.

Thinking that my aunt's condition was not more serious, but in the past few days, Imperial Physician Zhang's acupuncture method has worked, and I heard Imperial Doctor Zhang's words: "Only the dendrobium that grows in the rocks in the mountains has a great effect on clearing heat and invigorating blood, and now the dendrobium of the Imperial Medical Department is in short supply, if you can get two or three plants, it will be quite beneficial to your aunt's illness." "

I thought that if I could get out of the palace, maybe I could go to the mountains to find Dendrobium for my aunt.

But Xiao Wen ordered not to let himself leave the palace without authorization, and he had to find a good way to sneak out of the palace, not only to be undiscovered, but also to find the dendrobium unknowingly.

So, he walked back and forth in the house, thinking about how to hide from Xiao Wen and the guards at the door.

Seeing Xiao Mingyue pacing back and forth, Amber asked curiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" What's on your mind? "

Xiao Mingyue called Amber over and whispered to her what she thought.

Amber widened her eyes and said in surprise when she heard this: "Miss, you have to think clearly, so Your Majesty has a decree, if we sneak out, I'm afraid that the guards up and down this palace and at the door will be punished." "

"So, we're going to come up with a surefire solution." Xiao Mingyue said with a wink at Amber.

Amber saw it on the side, and hurriedly said, "Miss already has an idea, right?" "

Xiao Mingyue looked at Amber directly and said, "I was still meditating hard just now, but you have reminded me now." "

So, he decided to announce that he was chanting and praying for his aunt day and night, and he kept the door closed for seven days.

In order to hide people's eyes, three days ago, I really prayed for my aunt in the Buddhist hall. did not deliberately avoid anyone, on the contrary, he wished that the entire palace knew that he was chanting and praying for his aunt. After three meals a day, private matters such as going out to pay tribute, and no one was summoned.

Xiao Wen also sent the inner attendant to come to see it, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he didn't think too much, and for the sake of face, he only threw himself on the 'dream interpretation' of the big fish in the North Underworld.

And Xiao Mingyue saw that her behavior in the first three days did not arouse suspicion, and on the fourth day, she secretly prepared to slip away with Amber, leaving Cai Wei and Yun Zhu to disguise themselves and Amber to continue to replace, and the two changed into Cai Wei and Yun Zhu's clothes, and Cai Wei put makeup on the two of them, so that their true identities could not be discovered.

So, taking advantage of the darkness and the palace people patrolling the night to change the guard, the two secretly ran out of the harem and came to the door of the imperial dining room, and saw a big cart parked at the door, with several large round barrels on it, and a few little eunuchs were throwing some rotten vegetable leaves into it.

Xiao Mingyue and Amber hid behind a big tree not far away and witnessed all this.

Amber said: "The slave maid asked Dexi before, and the imperial dining room will send some kitchen garbage outside the palace at this time of day. "

"Hmm. Later, while they were back looking for the rope, we went over and hid in the bucket. Infallible. Xiao Mingyue said calmly.

"But Miss, you are a daughter, how can you hide in the trash can casually! Amber said with a frown.

Xiao Mingyue listened to it and said with a smile: "Silly amber, it's all this time, it's good to be able to go out, where can I take care of this." It's okay, I'm not afraid. "

As soon as the words fell, I saw the two little eunuchs who had just loaded the car go back to get the rope.

So Xiao Mingyue hurriedly ran to the back of the car with Amber, the two helped each other, and Dou hid in the barrel.

Xiao Mingyue hid in a bucket of rotten vegetable leaves, while Amber hid in a bucket of leftover bones.

Both of them were silent, and after a moment, they heard footsteps, and knew that it was the little eunuch who was binding the barrel with a rope.

Later, I heard a little eunuch say to another little eunuch: "Today, all the garbage in the imperial dining room is here, you go and transport them to the stone bridge outside the palace gate, and someone will naturally dispose of them there." "

And the other said, "Aren't we two on duty today?" You should go with me, and if there is a mistake, we should have a testimony to each other. "

When the other listened, he smacked "bah": "I said Dexi, you are really a newcomer who doesn't know the rules, and you dare to let me deal with this garbage with you." Tell you, my cousin is a celebrity next to our majesty, as long as I open my mouth, I will have your good fruit to eat!"

After that, he said disdainfully: "Don't go yet!"

Dexi heard this, and hurriedly agreed: "I know, I'll go." "

And the other sneered when he saw that Dexi was so honest and easy to bully: "Silly melon, it's just a garbage thrown away, what accidents can happen." "

However, Xiao Mingyue and Amber in the bucket listened to the conversation between the two people, and when they heard that it was Dexi who they met last time they went to the imperial dining room to find a secret letter, the two couldn't help but smile in their hearts, remembering Dexi's loyalty and honesty.

Dexi pushed the cart straight out of the palace, and after passing the palace gate, the guards saw that it was a wooden barrel containing garbage, all of which smelled, and did not check it carefully, so they let it go directly.

Dexi pushed the car out of the palace gate, turned left and right to the edge of the stone bridge where the garbage was disposed of, and just about to move the barrel down, he heard that there seemed to be movement in the barrel, so he was a little frightened and was about to open it, and he saw Xiao Mingyue and Amber coming out of the two barrels in an instant.

Dexi saw two big living people suddenly come out of the barrel, and shouted, "There are ghosts." He fell to the ground in fright, almost fainting.

Seeing this, Amber smiled and said, "Father-in-law Dexi, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm Amber." "

When Dexi heard Amber say this, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at it for a while, and said, "Amber...... Amber girl, why are you here? "

Amber laughed when she heard this, looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, "County Lord, it seems that Dexi was really scared by us. "

Xiao Mingyue said angrily: "Why don't you go quickly, Dexi helps him up?!"

Amber listened, and hurriedly went over to help Dexi up.

He said to Dexi again: "Dexi, take a closer look and see if I am amber." "

looked at Xiao Mingyue again and said, "Do you see if this is my young lady, the current Lord of Xiao County?" "

It took Dexi a long time to come to his senses, and he looked at Amber's gaze, but it was not Amber and Lord Xiao.

Then he asked incomprehensibly, "Lord of the county, Amber girl, why are you hiding in this bucket?" "

Amber looked at Xiao Mingyue, and Xiao Mingyue gestured to Amber.

Amber helped Dexi get up and said to Dexi, "The county lord and I ran out secretly. "

When Dexi heard this, he hurriedly said loudly: "Huh? "

Xiao Mingyue said to Dexi again: "That's right. Now we've sneaked out, thanks to your garbage truck. If you don't want to lose your head, just pretend that you don't know anything, and at this hour in three days, we'll meet here after we're done, and if you dare to say it, be careful of your little head. "

After speaking, he made a neck wiping action to Dexi.

When Dexi heard this, he quickly knelt down and said: "The slave never dares, but the county master is outside, if there is any mistake, the slave can't afford it." At that time, even if the slave only has a hundred heads, it will not be enough to cut off the head! "

Xiao Mingyue listened to this and comforted: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, the lord of this county knows that you are an honest person, and he will not talk nonsense." But don't worry, Amber and I will be fine. "

With that, he threw Dexi a piece of silver, and then turned and left with amber.

Dexi took the silver tremblingly, packed up the garbage, and rushed back to the palace with trepidation.

I thought in my heart: "Since I promised the little county lord, I must keep the secret for the little county lord." "

So, I worked hard to overcome my inner uneasiness, and deliberately pretended to be nothing, for fear that others would see a little flaw.

On the way, Amber said to Xiao Mingyue: "Miss, aren't you really afraid that Dexi will leak secrets?" "

Xiao Mingyue said: "Don't worry, according to what happened last time, I can see that this Dexi is really a simple and honest person, since he promised us, he should keep it a secret for us." What's more, it was he who personally let us go, and if it happened, it would not do him any good, but he might lose his head. "

Amber nodded and said, "Miss has a point. But looking at his dumbfounded, will he really come to pick us up in three days? "

"Don't worry, if we don't return, we will be found sooner or later. There are only a few cars out of the palace every day, and if we really find that we are gone, and when the time comes, it will only be a matter of time before we find the garbage truck in the imperial dining room. "

Amber nodded approvingly.

Then he said, "The slave listens to the young lady for everything." It's just that the slave maid was in the bucket with the remaining bones just now, and now the smell of soup is all over her body, and the clothes are afraid that they are all stained. "

Xiao Mingyue looked at it and said, "It's not." "

Then he looked at what he was wearing, and said, "My clothes are also stained with rotten leaves." Walk! Miss, I'll take you to change your clothes. "

After saying that, he took Amber and walked towards the lively night market.

Although the night market is not as lively as the festive season, it is indeed crowded with people.

Xiao Mingyue took Amber to find a shop selling fabrics, bought two ready-made men's outfits, and after the two of them changed, they came to the bun shop.

Xiao Mingyue asked for two drawers of xiaolongbao and two side dishes.

Amber asked puzzled, "Miss, why do I have to wear men's clothes, it feels so strange." "

Xiao Mingyue deliberately lowered her voice and said, "It's just the two of us now. What's more, it's safer to use a man's identity when you go out. "

Amber listened, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Miss is really thoughtful. "

While talking, Xiaolongbao and Xiaocai came up.

Xiao Mingyue said to Amber, "Eat it." From now on, you will call me Gongzi, and I will call you Ah Hu. "

Amber laughed and said, "Yes." Childe"

"Ah Hu."

"Hahaha."
