Chapter 80: The Uninvited Guest
Lu Qingjin had just finished changing her clothes when she heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, she opened the door with some doubts, and Xiao Ling stopped in front of her panting: "Why did the mother go in such a hurry, the slave maid just packed up her things and disappeared from you." ”
Lu Qingjin smiled and said, "When have you been so clingy, I didn't take two steps early, and there will be no danger, you can rest and rest, and follow me to eat later." ”
Xiao Ling seemed to want to say something, but seeing that the other maids still closed their mouths, Lu Qingjin paused and didn't say anything when he saw her appearance, and the group walked to the dining room in silence, and the front hall was almost cleaned up at this time.
Lu Qingjin looked around and asked the guards not far away: "Why don't you see the emperor?" The guard stepped forward and said carefully;" The emperor has left in an urgent matter just now, I don't know what Niangniang has to say? ”
Lu Qingjin nodded to indicate that he understood, and continued to walk forward in silence, several maids looked at each other without speaking, and when they arrived in the dining room, they saw a table full of dishes Lu Qingjin said to a few people behind him: "You all go out, I am only used to Xiao Ling serving alone when I eat." ”
The others obediently blessed the body and went down, Xiao Ling only breathed a sigh of relief when he watched their figures disappear, Lu Qingjin looked at her with a smile and patted the seat next to her: "Hurry up and eat, I saw you busy in the morning, why are you here now, even a few little maids are scared." ”
Xiao Ling has been following her for a while, and she has long been used to such things, so she sat down unceremoniously and made a vague excuse while eating: "Niangniang doesn't know, those few are not ordinary maids, the slaves and maids were fortunate to see them, and they were already the secret guards around the emperor at that time." ”
Lu Qingjin's heart moved, and he took a sip of porridge before asking, "You mean that the palace has not been safe recently?" ”
Xiao Ling swallowed what was in his mouth and looked around before speaking; "It's not, it's because of last night's incident that the emperor will personally send you out of the palace, fortunately you came out, and several other ladies in the palace were frightened, I heard that you are still in the Buddha Hall!"
Lu Qingjin only knew that something was going on in the palace and didn't know that it was so serious, and said with some doubts: "But until now, no one has reported to me, shouldn't the group of people in the Internal Affairs Office come to cry a long time ago!" ”
Xiao Ling didn't hide it and said: "It was ordered by the emperor, saying that this matter is not to be told to you, and this matter is not allowed to involve people in the palace with you, it is really strange to say that this matter has nothing to do with you, this ghost and god theory is already illusory." ”
Lu Qingjin thought of the piece of paper that Lu Qi handed in, and thought of Qin Zhao's appearance today, and had a guess in his heart, knocked on the bowl and said to Xiao Ling: "Hurry up and eat, follow me to this mansion after eating." ”
Xiao Ling agreed and sped up the speed of chewing, and after a while, the two of them arrived at the front yard, Xiao Ling came in from the side door, and it was the first time he saw the front yard and opened his mouth wide and sighed: "This yard doesn't know what it used to do, the slave has never seen such a tall weed." ”
Lu Qingjin smiled and didn't speak, but the little maid who didn't know where he came from came over and explained: "This is a chrysanthemum, the servants have carved out a way according to Madame's instructions, and the others are left." ”
Lu Qingjin nodded, looked at him and seemed to stop talking, frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong, I look at you as if there is something left unsaid." ”
The little servant arched his hand and said with some embarrassment: "There is indeed something wrong, but the slave doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”
Xiao Ling stepped forward and scolded: "Now that the emperor is not here, the whole Zhuangzi is the final say of the lady, what do you have to say, and what else do you not say to the lady, do you want you to be the master!" ”
The little servant hurriedly said: "The slave didn't dare, but a son came outside and said that it was the old man of the lady, and the slaves really didn't know what to do." ”
Lu Qingjin nodded understandingly, after all, as a queen, she is also a woman, this foreign man is not easy to see, not to mention when he is a lonely man and a widow, at the moment she can only say: "Go and tell that son that it is inconvenient for me, let him go where he comes from!" ”
The little guy promised to leave and left, leaving Lu Qingjin and Xiao Ling to continue to look at the peculiar chrysanthemums in the yard, and after a while, the little guy came back again, his face was a little more panicked than just now, and he didn't even have time to say yes: "The slave went back according to what Madame said, that son is also understanding, who knew that he met the thief not long after he walked out, and the guards had already driven the thief away, but the boy was injured and unconscious, you see..."
Lu Qingjin rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Go and call the doctor in the house to go over and arrange that son to the guard room in the front yard!" ”
Xiao Ling agreed and ran away, Xiao Ling said with some worry: "Could it be some kind of bad intentions!" Would it be dangerous for Madame to keep him? ”
Lu Qingjin smiled helplessly: "I can guess who it is, if you want to say that there should be no danger, but our emperor will inevitably make trouble again." ”
Xiao Ling helped her walk towards the front yard, and shivered when she heard the words: "It won't be that Wei Gongzi again!" How can he not go away, the slave and maid can't stand the emperor's temper again. ”
The two of them talked and laughed and went to the front yard, the guard saluted and took the two of them to a room, Wei Jinzhi was already awake lying on the bed with a pale face, and he was quite helpless when he saw Lu Qingjin: "I'm bothering Mrs. again, I really don't want to go in my heart!" ”
Lu Qingjin smiled, and was a little shocked to see that Wei Jinzhi was almost covered with deep or shallow wounds all over his body: "I don't know who Wei Gongzi provoked, the attack is so heavy, you and I are partners in the end, so you don't have to be so polite, it just so happens that I also want to live here for a while, you can recuperate with peace of mind!" ”
Wei Jinzhi sighed a little ashamedly: "Thank you so much, I will definitely remember this kindness in the future." ”
Lu Qingjin waved his hand to signal him to rest well and went out, and the guards hurriedly greeted her when they saw her: "Mrs. Qiyu, the people here have indeed been hunted down, and it seems that they are the remnants of the previous dynasty." ”
Lu Qingjin nodded a little and said with an indifferent expression: "You send someone to tell the emperor about this matter, in the end, it is the partner of the palace, you can't let him go outside, he will be in the palace for a while now." ”
The guard nodded and left, Lu Qingjin looked at Xiao Ling, who was quite worried, and smiled, "What kind of expression do you have?" Don't worry, I know he's not ordinary, just wait a while. ”
Xiao Ling didn't know why, but he didn't ask much.
