Xia Ning has been gone for ten days, and in the past ten days, he has sent two letters. The first letter was sent when he had just arrived at the northern border, reassuring me that he was all right, and that I was sure to take good care of myself and wait for him to return. The second letter was sent two days ago, saying that the border situation is complicated and that I am afraid that I will have to stay a few more days, so I should not read it.

It's strange to say, why did the feudal kingdom in the north suddenly cause trouble?

Sister Wu Qi said that their grapes were transported from the northern feudal countries, and since the border was not peaceful, why could merchants come and go freely?

"Mother, take the medicine."

It's this maid again, since she was sent by Huanqin, she has been serving me every day with tea, food, and decoctions.

"Where to put it."

She put the medicine on the table and said, "Niangniang should drink it while it is hot for it to have an effect." ”

"Got it, you go down first."

The maidservant stood at the table, and had no intention of leaving.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Mother, the slave has something to tell you."

"What?"

I saw her say to the maid outside the door: "You all go down first, Niangniang is going to take a nap, you are afraid of disturbing Niangniang here!" ”

The maid outside the door stepped back, and I stood up and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The maidservant closed the door gently, and I took a few steps back as if I had lost my mind, but at this time, Zhiqing was not there.

"Do you know what you're doing?" I asked, holding my stomach with my hands.

What the hell is she trying to do?

I saw her turn around slowly and asked softly, "Niangniang really doesn't remember me?" ”

"Who the hell are you?"

She hid her face with her sleeve and tore off the mask from her face......

"Mother's ......"

My eyes widened and it took me a while to come back to my senses.

No wonder I always feel that this maid seems to be familiar, it turns out that she is Lian'er!

"How are you?"

Lian'er made a big gift to me and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, and my mother has lost a lot of weight." ”

After a long time, I asked, "Lian'er, why did you come here, you didn't come to greet me!" ”

Lian'er said softly: "Niangniang, the emperor wants to see you!" ”

"Your Majesty? Is it a flower curtain? ”

Lian'er nodded slightly.

Flower curtain cheap? What does he ask me for?

"Since he has sent me to the Xia Kingdom, I have nothing to do with the Huaqiao Kingdom, I don't know what else I have to worry about the Emperor of the Huaqiao Kingdom?"

Lian'er said: "The slave and maid are just messengers, and I don't know anything else." ”

Although Lian'er is a good girl, she is still a flower curtain in the end!

I said unceremoniously: "Now you have also seen that I am pregnant, and it is really inconvenient to meet this distinguished guest!" I don't know how you got in, so please keep getting out of this summer palace the way you do. Once you get acquainted, I don't want others to know your identity, so I think it's the last bit of affection I leave for you! ”

After hearing my words, Lian'er smiled slightly, saluted me again, and then took out a maple leaf from her sleeve.

"Niangniang, this ......" she held the maple leaf in her hand.

"What do you mean?"

"The emperor said that when the mother sees this maple leaf, she will understand the meaning."

Okay, you're a flower curtain and threaten me with maple leaves?

"Presumptuous! Are you going to push me now? I asked angrily.

Lian'er knelt down with a plop, "Niangniang, when will the slave and maid feel sorry for Niangniang?" ”

Looking at her pear blossom with rain, I couldn't bear to scold her anymore, took the maple leaf, and squeezed it tightly in my hand.

"Where is he?"

Lian'er lowered her head and replied, "In the village west of the city." ”

"Okay, I can go see him, but you have to listen to me!"

"Slaves and maids all listen to the mother!"

At this time, Zhiqing's voice came from outside the door, "Girl? Asleep? ”

Lian'er put on her mask, straightened her hair, opened the door, smiled at Zhiqing, and walked out.

Zhiqing ran in and asked, "Girl, what's going on, why isn't there anyone outside?" ”

I sat down unhurriedly, drank the medicine, and said, "Zhiqing, I want you to do me a favor." ”

Zhiqing laughed, "The girl is serious, the girl has something to do directly, it is all what the slave should do." ”

"Zhiqing, you know, I never treated you as a subordinate."

Zhiqing squatted down and said, "Of course the slave knows, the girl is so good to me, the slave and maid are willing to be cows and horses." ”

"Zhiqing, I need you to stay in my dormitory for one night tonight!"

"Is the girl going to do something tonight?"

"I'm going out of the palace tonight."

"Out of the palace? Why didn't the girl leave the palace with her slaves? What is the girl doing when she leaves the palace alone? Zhiqing looked suspicious.

Zhiqing, forgive me for bringing you into this whirlpool, but I really can't help it. Hanamaku Lian threatened me with a maple leaf again, I don't know what he wants to do, does he want to bring up the old thing again? But why did he do that? How could he calculate that Xia Ning was not there at this time?

Hua Mulian, why don't you still want to let me go?

After a long time, I said, "Tonight, I'm going to see someone." ”

Zhiqing said: "No matter what the girl does, the slave and maid can always help the girl when she is by her side." ”

Zhiqing, I can't take you to see the emperor of Huaqiao Kingdom. If discovered, not only will you be charged with treason, but you may also lose your head.

"Zhiqing, I need you to hide from me in my room. Now that I'm pregnant, and there's a lot of people here, if I find out I'm not there, I don't know what will happen! ”

"But ......"

I stood up, walked behind Zhiqing, put my hands on her shoulders, sat her down, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" ”

"Girl, be careful! Now that you're pregnant, you can't go wrong! Does the girl really want to leave the palace? ”

"This person, if you don't see him, he won't give up!"

Zhiqing was anxious and asked, "Who is the girl talking about?" Can't the slave go to him on the girl's behalf? ”

I shook my head, "It's time to make a break off!" ”

I crushed the maple leaf in my hand and threw it on the ground.

At midnight, I asked Lian'er to change into the men's clothes that Zhiqing wore when she left the palace, she was about the same size as Zhiqing, and this men's dress was just right.

Zhiqing had already fallen asleep in my bed, I extinguished the candle flame and walked towards the Prayer Palace with Lian'er.

"Niangniang has not been in the Xia Kingdom for a long time, and she has figured out the structure of this Xia Palace, which is really amazing."

I looked at Lian'er through the moonlight, and her already white face was brightened by the silver moonlight, and her face had long lost its original childishness, but was a little more calm.

"Are you complimenting me, or are you sarcastic?"

Lian'er lowered her head as if evasive, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave just feels that no matter where the mother is, she can turn evil into good fortune, and the mother is blessed." ”

I chuckled lightly, didn't speak again, and after a while, I walked to the Prayer Palace.
