Chapter 9: Trying to Capture the Past (2)

Lai Xing'er vaguely felt that Mama Xia seemed to be hinting at something to herself, and was about to speak according to her meaning, but the old man who was called Cheng Steward stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Xia's family, the people from Qingning Palace will arrive soon, and I will ask them to ask you first later." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Niangniang will not be ignorant of the situation in the palace, and she will understand. Ask this little father-in-law to go to the room to serve tea first and stay for a while, okay? With that, he took Xing'er's hand and strode towards the duty room in the courtyard.

Mama Xia was obviously in a hurry to leave here, so she rushed to Xing'er in a loud voice: "But Concubine Jing is not feeling well, call me to go, you are talking!" ”

Lai Xing'er didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "Mama, the prince sent me here, please go and see Dugu Niangniang." ”

When Steward Cheng heard that the prince had sent someone to invite Mrs. Xia, he was so shocked that he stopped and asked Lai Xing'er: "Since you said that the prince sent you here, do you have any credentials?" At this time, the people in the courtyard focused their eyes on the three of them, they were the most inconspicuous miscellaneous servants in the East Palace, and it was rare to even see a palace concubine with a head and face, and suddenly I heard that the prince had personally sent someone to invite this earthy Xia Pozi, everyone opened their eyes and pricked up their ears, trying to figure out what was going on?

Lai Xing'er regretted it as soon as he spoke, the prince asked him to pick up Mama Xia, he didn't want others to know about it, he told the truth in front of people all over the courtyard, once someone talked a lot and leaked it to the people of Qingning Palace, wouldn't Mama Xia become the target of their key investigation? But now that he has spoken, he can only hold on hard. He didn't answer Steward Cheng's question, and continued to Mama Xia with a wrong face: "Dugu Niangniang was frightened, the fetus was unstable, and the prince knew it after returning to the palace, and remembered that Mama was good at medicine, so he sent the little one to ask Mama to go to the clinic immediately. ”

When the florists heard what Xing'er said, they became more and more curious, and they began to discuss in a few words: "This old woman is usually silent, but she is a master." "Isn't she a country lady who cares for flowers and plants, how can even the prince know about her?" "Obediently, treat your mother, how capable is that!"

Steward Cheng seemed to know about Mama Xia's delivery for Jing Xuan, but he was not as surprised as everyone else. He saw that Mama Xia was also at a loss after hearing Xing'er's words, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly pulled Xing'er into the duty room, avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and asked in a low voice: "Little father-in-law, aren't you on an errand at Concubine Jing's place, why is Dugu Niangniang unwell, and the prince also sent you on an errand?" You can't come up with the credentials today, don't blame the old man for offending, only the person who handed you over to Qingning Palace can find out the truth and falsehood. ”

Lai Xing'er didn't expect things to suddenly become so bad, so anxious that he groped with his hands on his body, trying to find something that could prove that what he said was true. When his hand reached into the purse around his waist, his fingertips inadvertently touched a cool thing, and he suddenly remembered: this is a green jade plate engraved with lotus patterns that Furong specially handed him when he parted, according to Furong, someone will find him with the same jade card in the next two days, and after the two showed that it was correct, all the news that Xing'er found out later was reported to her by this person, this green jade card is also a talisman for Xing'er, if you encounter danger, you can enter Qingning Palace at any time with a jade card to hide. Lai Xing'er rolled his eyes and thought: Why don't you use this jade card to bluff this old man, I guess he is a small flower shop manager, how can he see the objects that the prince is carrying? He pretended to be surprised and took out the green jade plate from his purse, shook it in front of Steward Cheng's eyes, and said, "You can see clearly, this is the jade plate rewarded by His Royal Highness the Prince." If you delay Niangniang's condition, I'm afraid you can't afford it! ”

Steward Cheng has been on an errand in the East Palace for a long time, and he has seen some of the world, how can he be easily frightened by Lai Xing'er's children's tricks, he stretched out a hand and said to Lai Xing'er: "The little father-in-law said that it was a token of His Royal Highness the Prince, and let the old man carefully inspect it." ”

Lai Xing'er had no choice but to hand over the jade plate to him, and waited anxiously for the results of his inspection.

Mama Xia saw that Steward Cheng pulled Lai Xing'er into the duty room, she was relieved, and was about to raise her feet to follow up, but saw that Steward Cheng had taken Lai Xing'er out of the duty room with a smile and came to her. The little father-in-law was indeed sent by the prince to summon you to go and see your mother's illness, so you can go with him now. ”

Mama Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was not in a hurry to leave, and asked: "I'm leaving, I'll have one less person named later, how is Steward Cheng going to explain to Qingning Palace?" ”

Steward Cheng glanced around, pointed to the gardeners and said, "They can testify for me, it was the prince who called you to go, could it be that the people from Qingning Palace will still come to the prince to find you?" ”

Mama Xia smiled and saluted Steward Cheng, and walked out of the flower shop with Lai Xing'er. The two passed by the courtyard gate, and Cui Jiu, who was standing at the door, was afraid that Lai Xing'er would ask him for a silk scarf, so he waved his hand again and again to signal the two to leave quickly. Lai Xing'er was also afraid of running into the people of Qingning Palace, so he couldn't help but say, picked up Mama Xia and ran in the direction of Ning Xiangxuan.

Lai Xing'er was in a hurry to rush back to Ning Xiangxuan to hand over to the prince, so he ran forward with his head down, seeing that he was about to reach the place, but at a three-way intersection he almost collided head-on with several people coming from another road. The other party was startled, and someone shouted: "Who dares to walk around the palace without permission at this time?" ”

Lai Xing'er staggered a few steps, stopped, and Mama Xia got off his back to the ground, and the two followed the sound, almost unanimously shouting "bitter" in their hearts.

It turned out that it was Li Jinzhong and Zhang Liang who met them unexpectedly at the intersection. It was the general Zhang Liang who spoke and asked.

Lai Xing'er stood and was about to reply, but was pulled down by Mama Xia and knelt beside the road, only to hear Mama Xia bury her head deep in her chest, pinch her voice and reply: "The master is not feeling well, and she is in a hurry to go back and wait." I bumped into the adults, and I ask for forgiveness. ”

Lin Shu, who was following behind, was worried that Zhang Liang was deliberately looking for this old man and a young person, so he hurriedly stepped forward to separate them with his body, and pretended to reprimand him and Xia Erren: "Walk carefully, is the East Palace a place for you to go wild?" ”

Zhang Liang was on the rise of arresting people to investigate the case, and he wanted to ask the forbidden army of his entourage to immediately detain the two of them for investigation, but when he heard Lin Shu pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, it was not easy to attack, he glared at Lin Shu fiercely, ignored Lai and Xia, walked a few steps, and followed Li Jinzhong and continued to walk forward.

Lin Shu saw that Zhang Liang did not embarrass the two, turned around and walked forward, and asked casually, "Which lady are you in front of?" ”

"Ning Xiangxuan, Dugu Niangniang, in front of her." Lai Xing'er replied prostrately, he was secretly glad that Li Jinzhong, who had just walked by, did not recognize him.

"Oh? Since it is Ning Xiangxuan's, it is the same road as us, stand up and walk together. ”

Lai Xing'er and Mama Xia glanced at each other, so they had to get up and follow behind Lin Shu. Not long after, the group had come to the door of Ning Xiangxuan. Lai Xing'er saw at a glance that Zhu Shuang'er, the foreman of Ning Xiangxuan, was standing in the doorway and looking out of the door, expecting to be waiting for him, but because there were Li Jinzhong, Zhang Liang and others in front of him, it was inconvenient to say hello, so he only raised his hand and waved at him.
