Since the fact that An Fuyi is a cronie of King Li's subordinates was exposed, on top of the selection of the palace people who served around him, An Xiabai was very attentive, and it took a long time to pick out a few who were loyal to him, among which there was a maid named Leng Cui, An Xiabai decided to give her the task of going out of the palace to inspect her competition.

Lu Li disagreed with this: "The queen really trusts this maid? ”

An Xiabai smiled and nodded: "I have been observing Leng Brew for a while, although she has a bad background, but her heart is clean, and she is very filial to her parents at home, I believe that such a person cannot be a person under King Li, Leng Brew will definitely be loyal to us." ”

Lu Li actually had some doubts, but when he saw An Xiabai's determined expression, he couldn't bear to question it for a while.

"Well, if the queen wants to believe her, then I will believe in her too."

An Xiabai lightly agreed, and walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard.

"Where's the cold brew?"

There was a cold sound in the inner room, and I saw a tall young palace maid popping out of the room, although the palace maid was wearing the same clothes as the other palace maids, but she had a different charm than others. She walked quickly to An Xiabai and bowed: "The slave maid is helping the mother clean up the house." ”

Obviously, she is already the head maid of Kunning Palace, but Leng Brew is not at all like those powerful people, she still does her own thing every day, An Xia Bai appreciates this very much, and when facing Leng Brew, the expression on her face suddenly became a little softer: "Leng Brew, you go out of the palace to help the palace for half a thing." ”

Being able to do things for the master is a good thing that the palace maid can't ask for.

The more things the master and a half do, the more he proves that he has won the trust of the master, even if it is cold brew, he can't help but be a little excited.

"Please also ask the mother to command."

An Xiabai whispered a few words in her ear, only to see Leng Cui nodding again and again.

"The less people know about this matter, the better, do you understand what Hongu means?"

Leng Brew lowered his face: "The slave will definitely keep her mouth shut." ”

After receiving a satisfactory answer, An Xiabai smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Then you go, come back early." ”

The cold brew slowly receded.

As soon as he left An Xiabai's sight, Leng Cui changed into ordinary clothes, didn't do anything, and went directly to the palace gate with the sign. Generally, when the palace people have the opportunity to leave the palace, they will ask the maids of each palace if they want to help bring some things, those objects may not be valuable, but the service fee is very amazing, but there is a good opportunity to make money in front of him, Leng Shui is not sure, and left the palace directly, all the way to the private school that An Xia Bai said.

When she arrived at the door of the private school, she wrinkled her brows and asked someone: "May I ask Jiang Yirui, is Mrs. Jiang inside?" ”

The gatekeeper glanced at her suspiciously: "Mrs. Jiang is here, but who are you, what is the matter with Mrs. Jiang?" ”

Jiang Taifu is the person with the highest official position here, so he naturally has to be cautious in everything.

Leng Cui was not annoyed by the janitor's rudeness, and still spoke respectfully: "I have something to ask to see Mrs. Jiang." ”

The janitor glanced at her with disgust, obviously not very fond of Leng Cui, who was dressed in ordinary clothes: "This is a royal private school, not a place where people like you can go in and out of trouble at will, what kind of character is Mrs. Jiang, even if the gentleman in the private school wants to see him, he has to be urged three times and four times, don't think about it, let's go back to your own house!" ”

Leng Cui sank his face: "I have something important to ask Mrs. Jiang, and I ask the little brother to let him go." ”

"Hehe, it's not impossible to go in," the man moved his fingers, obviously asking for money, "unless you give something to honor and honor......."

This time the cold brew is really on fire, in the capital, under the emperor's nose, this little gatekeeper dares to be so arrogant, he is so skillful, maybe he has already cheated many people before, if he continues to let it go like this, then what is it? If you have the opportunity, you must rectify this person!

Just as the two of them were standing at the door and talking, a familiar figure hurried towards the door.

That person turned out to be Jiang Yirui.

I saw that he looked anxious, and he looked like he had lost some valuables: "Have you ever seen my student?" ”

As soon as the gatekeeper saw Jiang Yirui, he immediately put on a respectful appearance. Jiang Yirui actually has only one student in the private school, and the student looks different, so the janitor has some impressions: "I haven't seen her, I haven't seen her go out today....."

The anxiety on Jiang Yirui's face became more and more obvious.

Leng Cui stood aside and listened to them, realizing that the matter might be related to the person An Xiabai asked him to inquire about the situation, so he opened his mouth: "Dare to ask Mrs. Jiang, what's wrong with your student?" ”

Jiang Yirui didn't expect anyone to ask about this, so he immediately turned around.

When An Xiabai went to the house to ask Jiang Yirui to teach him the knowledge of the competition, he had brought this maid with him, so Jiang Yirui recognized her face: "You are ......."

Leng Cui was afraid that he would report An Xiabai's understanding, and expose the student's unusualness, so he hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Madame asked the slave maid to come and inquire about the situation. ”

This situation really should be asked, after all, the identity of the competition is so special, and the person has disappeared under his nose.......

Jiang Yirui sighed and said, "He is missing, just now I asked people to search around, but I have never found any trace of him." ”

Leng Brew's face turned pale.

Although she didn't know the specific identity of Qi Sai, but judging from the importance that An Xia Bai and Lu Li attached to that person, the other party's identity must be unusual, such a big person actually disappeared in the private school, this matter must be told to An Xia Bai as soon as possible!

After Leng Cui asked Jiang Yirui about the general situation, he immediately returned to the palace.

Knowing that Qi Sai was missing, An Xiabai's heart was about to jump out of his throat.

"Someone is missing?"

Leng Cui replied: "When I went to the private school to ask, Mrs. Jiang did say so, he also said that he sent someone to look for it, but he never found a trace, and the little guy in charge of the doorkeeper said that he had never seen him go out at all, it is estimated that the person left the private school quietly, Niangniang, what should we do now, do you want the slave to tell Your Majesty about this?" ”

"Don't, don't go," Lu Li has been tired enough recently, and An Xiabai doesn't want anything else to bother him.

"Don't tell Your Majesty about this, I'll handle it myself."

After An Xiabai told Leng Cui, she put on civilian clothes and prepared to leave the palace, because she couldn't tell Lu Li about this matter, so she pretended to be a palace maid and quietly walked out from the east city gate.

The guards didn't see her, so they stopped them directly.

"Which palace are you the palace maid, why do you want to leave the palace?"

An Xiabai tightened her brows, and hurriedly took out the jade pendant to prove her identity: "The slave maid is the palace maid of Kunning Palace, and she goes out of the palace to do things for the queen's mother." ”

"Doing something for the Queen? What to do? Why didn't the queen talk about it in advance? ”

A series of questions were asked, and An Xiabai was stunned, usually she entered and exited the palace at will without anyone blocking her, but now she pretended to be a palace maid, only to realize how difficult it is to get out of the palace, so many questions, plus the guards looked at her with obvious fault, how can she gain the trust of the other party and leave the palace?

The guards were just asking about the situation, but as time went by, An Xiabai's face became more and more ugly, and the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.

If it is really a palace maid who goes out of the palace to do things for the queen's mother, why is she so weak-hearted?

The more he looked, the more he felt that An Xia Bai had a ghost.

"No, you can't go out unless someone from the queen's mother comes to deliver a message!"

An Xiabai was a little anxious: "Can't you have a token, the queen asked me to go out of the palace to do something urgent, if the matter is delayed, you and I can't afford it!" ”

"But who knows if you stole this token, and no one is allowed to leave without a message!"

Just as the two were arguing, someone happened to pass by the palace gate.

As soon as the guard saw the passers-by, his eyes lit up: "General! ”

"I heard you arguing over here, what's wrong?" The man asked as he approached.

Hearing this voice, An Xiabai's eyes also began to brighten.

The person who came was none other than Ruqing, who had just been named a general by Lu Li, it is estimated that she entered the palace today to report the military situation to Lu Li, and was about to leave the palace, but she happened to meet An Xiabai. Due to the urgency of the situation, An Xiabai couldn't care too much, and shouted directly to Ruqing: "General! ”

As soon as Ruqing saw her in a blink of an eye, her eyes were about to fall off.

"Why are you dressed like this, and you're still standing in front of the palace gate, are you going to leave the palace?"

An Xia Bai nodded again and again: "It's too late to explain, you can help me, the queen mother has urgent orders, if you can't do it quickly, I'm afraid you will be punished!" ”

Hey, isn't the queen herself?

Ruqing was stunned for a while before she realized that An Xiabai was planning to leave the palace in casual clothes, as if her subordinates had important things to do, otherwise she would not have shown such an anxious expression, and hurriedly took her hand to leave the palace.

The guards didn't dare to stop them, but they were not willing to let them go directly, so they followed behind him and reminded in a whisper: "General, this palace maid doesn't have the queen's mother's command, and she thinks she plans to sneak out of the palace......"

Ruqing glared at him and said, "I really don't have eyesight, and I don't see who I am, can something happen with my guarantee?" ”

With the relationship between Ruqing and An Xiabai, let alone taking a palace maid out, even if it is a hundred, no one will doubt it.......

The guard had no choice but to smile, turn and retreat.

The two of them walked out into the street and whispered to each other after making sure there were no guards behind them.

Ruqing asked with a puzzled face: "If you want to go out of the palace, wouldn't it be good to show your identity directly, with your identity, even one hundred and eighty guards dare not stop you, why hide it?" ”

"This matter of leaving the palace can't be known by Your Majesty," Zuo Ruqing is his own person, although sometimes his mind is not delicate enough, but after all, he is on their side, so An Xiabai did not hide it, and directly said the identity of Qi Sai, as well as his disappearance, "I'm afraid that he has recovered his memory, so I want to go out of the palace to see, maybe he will return to Shuang'er." ”

Ruqing thought for a while: "That Qisai is a dangerous person, since you are going to go to Shuang'er to check the situation, then I will also be with you!" ”
