Section 2 If the night is desolate
"One of them?" Yao Jin looked at him in disbelief, "Did I guess wrong, you failed to save Yuebai?"
"Save is saved, but you can't get out of the palace. Li Daoran looked solemnly in the direction of the capital, "Xuanjitang has a lot of hidden lines in the palace, and after learning about the intentions of the crown prince Li Zheng early in the morning, I contacted Concubine Xian and secretly rescued Xiao Yuebai from the gilded platform." But before the people left the palace that night, the emperor Lao'er had already found out. Now the palace seems to be normal, but in fact, all palace gates and exits are as guarded as iron buckets, not to mention getting people out, even a basket of vegetables and a jar of water, I am afraid that they have to be poured out to check and check before they can get out of the palace gate. ”
"Where is Yuebai now?" Yao Jin suddenly became nervous when he heard that he was still in the palace.
"I'm not at ease elsewhere, but now she's still hiding in Wei Nanyan's Qingfeng Pavilion. Presumably, Li Zheng and the others were afraid that the news would be leaked by you, so they did not make a noise, but the palace guards have been searching everywhere, and it is thanks to Wei Nanyan's courage and carefulness, and her identity is also a guarantee, so that she can hide until now. ”
"Qingfeng Pavilion is so big, and there are a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs, there are many people, and they can hide for a while, but they can't hide for a long time. Wei Yan pondered for a moment, and said to Yao Jin: "In this way, my identity is the most innocent, let me enter the palace to try to rescue Miss Lin, and you hide in Buyunguan and wait for my news." ”
"No," Yao Jin's bright eyes were resolute, "If you go, you will have to put your eldest sister and the Wei family's lives on the knife edge; besides, you are now the brother of the second concubine, how many people's eyes are red with such an identity, wouldn't it be more difficult for you to enter the palace so openly?
Li Daoran saw that Yao Jin's tone was firm, so he said: "Could it be that the princess has any other methods? It must be known that the guards at the exits of the palace are extremely cautious at the moment, even if they go out with night incense, they must be checked one by one, otherwise the old Taoist priest and Wei Nanyan will not be able to get Xiao Yuebai out at this time." ”
"There is a large population in the palace, and there are more than 20 places in each door, and it is customary to have palace maids and eunuchs who go out of the palace every day at the behest of their masters, and they can't sneak out with their waist cards?"
"Ordinary palace maids and eunuchs are now not allowed to leave the palace. Even the guards who changed shifts were called by the deputy commander in person every day, and they entered and exited the palace gate in a unified manner, and there was indeed no opportunity to take advantage of it. Li Daoran shook his head, "Even if I can send you into the palace disguised as Xuanjitang's secret line in the palace, how can you bring people out?"
Yao Jin raised his eyebrows, "If no one is allowed to leave the palace, how can the people who watch the master enter the palace?"
"Some fixed palace people are responsible for fixed affairs, such as transporting night incense, purchasing fresh tea and snacks, and selecting some harem supplies produced in the capital. ”
"Among these people, there is also a dark line of contemplation?"
"Yes. ”
"Can the Lord pretend to be me, let me into the palace?"
"No!"
The same sentence rushed out of Wei Yan and Liu Xiaolong's mouths at the same time. Before Yao Jin could speak, Liu Xiaolong hurriedly stopped: "Your Royal Highness Princess, your subordinates are entrusted by Lord Zhao to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can you let the princess be in danger alone! Besides, Lord Zhao has repeatedly told the princess that the princess must not enter the palace!"
"It's a matter of urgency," Yao Jin glanced at him with some displeasure, paused for a moment and said: "You are Zhao Yu's subordinate, but Zhao Yu is first and foremost a subordinate of this princess! Liu Xiaolong, you have to weigh clearly in your heart, when will the lord decide when a close guard will be qualified to say 'no'?"
There are not many words, but Yao Jin's identity is clearly laid out and has never changed, Liu Xiaolong naturally knelt down and kowtowed to confess, but Yao Jin never expected that Wei Yan, who said "no", also knelt down with Liu Xiaolong.
"The subordinates have exceeded their duties, please punish Her Royal Highness the Princess. Almost Wei Yan led Liu Xiaolong to say this, and then respectfully leaned down and kowtowed. Yao Jin looked at Wei Yan with a pale face, and couldn't help but take a step back, two steps, she didn't know what to say, she didn't even dare to step forward and pull Wei Yan up - she knew that he would calmly tell her that he had always been the guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and that was it.
The princes and princesses in TV dramas, the silly white sweets and rich and handsome people who sprinkle sugar and abuse dogs every day are all deceitful, and the real world will only be a little more cruel than the limit you can think of. Twenty-nine-year-old Yao Jin has always understood this truth, and she has never fantasized, so she had a big quarrel with Wei Yan that night, and in the end she could only force Wei Yan as a princess to prevent him from leaving Buyunguan Yao Jin, who was half a step away, and finally listened to Wei Yan's sentence "Maybe I never understood you" and refused to speak out with tears streaming down her face, Yao Jin, resolutely put on the clothes of the sister-in-law in the palace, covered with a veil, With a sallow face and a pair of fish bubble eyes, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes in the middle of the night, and quietly came to the depths of a certain alley in the capital and walked into an inconspicuous house.
The secret line of Xuanji Hall is called the fourth aunt, and she has been in the palace for many years. She was born with a pair of fish bubble eyes, and due to her bad liver, her face was sallow and her breath was heavy all the year round, so she had to wear a veil every day to walk in the palace, and everyone in the palace knew it. The duty of the fourth aunt is to regularly go to some local shops and workshops in the capital that supply dim sum, tea, and pickled braised food to the palace, check whether there is any impropriety and uncleanness in the workshop, and give it back to the six major bureaus. Her height is fat and thin similar to Yao Jin, Li Daoran disguised Yao Jin a little easily as her, and advised: You don't need to continue to pretend to be the fourth aunt after you enter the palace, you just need to find an opportunity to quietly go to the Qingfeng Pavilion and Wei Nanyan Meeting, and someone will naturally contact you later to pass the news out of the palace. As for how to get Xiao Yuebai out after entering the palace, it depends on your ability.
Yao Jin secretly passed Li Daoran's words again in his heart, and while walking towards the strange and familiar palace city, he couldn't help but press his swollen and sore eyelids. She was not a fish bubble eye, but in order to pretend to be the fourth aunt, she ate a big bowl of braised fish roe, which made her eyelids, lips, and fingers swelled overnight. "Don't waste my disfigured price, Yuebai, I'm here!" Yao Jin muttered, cheering himself up in his heart, and walked quickly towards the palace gate with a calm expression.
At this time, in the Qingfeng Pavilion, Wei Nanyan had just sent away the two concubines who had nothing to do to come to her for tea and chat, and only then sat down to take a breath, and Siqing, the personal palace maid, walked in with a bowl of black medicine.
"Mother, today's medicine has arrived. ”
Wei Nanyan glanced at the medicine and sneered: "The queen mother is really considerate, as long as the servant has gone to bed, this medicine will arrive on time." ”
"The queen has a great relationship with you, and I hope you will have a happy ...... soon She, in fact, is also kind. ”
"You are the maiden of this palace, you understand her kindness, and I understand it. It's a pity that this bowl is a bowl of good medicine," Wei Nanyan picked up the bowl, drank it all in one gulp, let the medicine stains on the corner of his mouth slowly flow down, and smiled indifferently, "Even if you drink it for a lifetime, how can a person who is a virgin until death conceive!"
