Chapter 57: Abortion (1)
Since Sheng Changqiong returned to Beijing, life seems to have returned to its former tranquility.
Shufang Hall has never been concerned by the people in the palace, and Sheng Anle has become more and more restrained since Feng Li left, and he has not pestered Sheng Changning to call his aunt, so in the past few days, Sheng Changning has also been at ease.
Nestled in the palace all day long, the days are a little boring...... Well, though, it's not like that right now—
Outside the palace walls that are several feet high these days, one or two kites can often be encountered, and one or two will happen to land outside the Shufang Palace.
At first, Sheng Changning thought that flying a kite in winter was a whim of a boy in the capital.
It wasn't until Bai Lu took down a thin note from the falling kite, Sheng Changning took it in confusion, and after reading the small words on the pen, she felt that it was not very good!
Bai Lu looked worried on the sidelines, "Princess, didn't this letter be sent in by the old mother outside the palace?" Why did you put it in our Shufang Palace, and isn't it still Qingming......
The reason why the palace maids in the palace enter the palace at a young age is mostly because they are poor and have no choice but to enter the palace. And if there is a reluctant daughter in their family, they will fly a kite in during the Qingming rainy season to comfort the pain of lovesickness.
It's only early February now, and the people outside the palace don't have long eyes, and they won't ignore the palace rules and fly kites indiscriminately on days outside of Qingming.
Not to mention......
Sheng Changning clutched the letterhead tightly into the palm of his hand, where was the words on this letter to his daughter? She was annoyed and angry in her heart, so she simply turned around and went back to the hall.
Bai Lu was about to come forward, but before she could step into the threshold, she was stopped by a voice inside, "No need to come in, this palace wants to stay alone for a while." ”
Her steps paused, and Bai Lu quickly said "no" and closed the door and retreated.
The sunlight outside gradually brightened, rising over the branches, but it was obscured by the oncoming white silk brocade clouds.
Bai Lu glanced up at the sky on the horizon, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her lowered eyes, and finally she bit her lower lip and hurriedly walked out of the Shufang Palace.
………………
Sheng Changning fell asleep again at some point, and when she woke up again, the room was pitch black, and she called out to Bai Lu, but no one answered.
But soon, there was a sound, and the bead curtain in the inner hall was gently stirred, and outside the bead curtain, it was not Bai Lu's face that was revealed, but Lixia.
"Princess, you can wake up, dinner has been prepared by Lady Mo, and you can use it in a while."
When the little girl said this, her eyes lit up Yes, Sheng Changning glanced at her, and only then did she realize that her stomach was indeed empty, and she was hungry.
She slept into the night.
Sheng Changning straightened up and asked casually: "Why didn't anyone call the palace up?" ”
She's been getting more and more lazy lately, and she's slept like she hasn't slept like this before.
Seeing her get up, Lixia immediately cleverly went over to dress her, and when he heard this, his face was shocked, and he muttered: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid are out of their duty and beg the princess for forgiveness......" she said, and she knelt down with her knees bent.
Sheng Changning couldn't help but feel a little funny, she didn't mean to blame, "Get up, this palace just asks casually." ”
Lixia got up, her face was still palpitating, she leaned over slightly, smoothed her skirt for Sheng Changning, and thought of Bai Lu on the other hand.
Bai Lu, the girl, went out in the morning, but now that it's dark, she doesn't see her come back, can't something happen......
Thinking worriedly, Lixia always felt uneasy in his heart.
"The slave is going to summon Master Mo to come in and set you a meal." Lixia bowed and was about to retreat, when he saw a noisy and slowly fading sound from outside the hall.
Without waiting for her to feel her eyebrows jumping, Sheng Changning frowned and walked out steadily, and Lixia hurriedly followed.
The dark curtain outside has fallen, and the lights can be seen in the twilight in the distance, Sheng Changning walked outside the hall, and it was Lady Mo who came forward.
At this time, Lady Mo was carrying a glass palace lamp in her hand, her face was solemn like never before, and she was surrounded by a circle of palace people from Shufang Palace.
Sheng Changning glanced at the palace lamp in her hand and asked, "Who has been here just now?" ”
"Back to the princess, it's the maid from the White Snow Palace, who came to us to look for it, saying that she was looking for a palace maid. They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry, and lo and behold, the lamp is falling here......"
Female official Mo was worried between her eyebrows, she had heard early in the morning that when the eldest princess Rongfu was not out of the cabinet, her tossing methods were comparable to that of Princess Anle.
Tonight, she made people make a fuss in the palaces, isn't there really something important that can't be done? According to the master's unrelenting temperament, the whole palace is afraid of some tossing......
Sheng Changning also frowned, but she felt that now that Sheng Changqiong got married, she was very different from the past, and she should not act as recklessly as before.
"The people around Princess Rongfu, did they say what happened to the White Snow Palace?"
Lady Mo shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"Princess—"
There was a sudden sound in the crowd, and everyone looked up, and it was Bai Lu who made the sound, and she slowly came out of the eyes of several people, with eagerness on her face, and seemed to want to cry.
"Hurry up and go to the White Snow Hall to take a look, the slave maid just fell by the waterhole, and happened to meet the palace people and the imperial doctor who came and went, and said, they said...... Rongfu Changgong took the initiative to gase, as if he was about to die......"
Sheng Changning was stunned for a moment in her mind, her eyes fell on Bai Lu's palace skirt that was stained by muddy water, and soon swept over again, and landed on Female Officer Mo.
The steps raised were fast and steady, and she didn't look back and said: "Female official Mo came with the palace, and the rest of the people are not allowed to take a step out of the Shufang Palace until they come back from the palace." ”
The palace people responded one after another, and Lady Mo followed behind Sheng Changning, her eyes were on a soft white neck exposed by Bai Lu's hanging head, and she turned around for a moment, and then left quickly with Sheng Changning.
The glass lamp in her hand was even more crystal clear under the light of the candle lamp, and Lady Mo held the cold handle tightly in two, but her heart was heavy and uneasy.
Bai Lu, this girl, isn't she really dizzy, the princess treats her so well, but she wants to harm the entire Shufang Palace?
Hope......
In the matter of the White Snow Palace, the eldest princess Rongfu was fine, and Bai Lu was not involved.
Under the black curtain, only the palace lamp in the hands of the female official Mo was still glowing faintly, and the stars in the sky were like promises, but they could not be reflected because they were far away.
