Chapter 442: Search the Palace
The snow fluttered down, and although it was not big at this time, the sky and the earth were also blurry, and it was difficult to see clearly ten steps away.
The outside has become a world of pink makeup and crystalline.
Qiao Hui just came out of the warehouse, and when she saw it when she went out, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable surprise and excitement in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to go for a walk in the snow.
So, they took a step casually, sometimes rubbing each other's two little hands that were red from the cold, and sometimes bringing them close to their lips to let out a stream of hot air to keep warm, so admiring the snow seemed to be all pleasant.
"Don't get out of the way, we are here to search the palaces and find the ill-intentioned works hidden in the palace at the behest of the queen's mother, who dares to stop it?"
Sure enough, as soon as the following order came out, all over the palace began to act vigorously on this ground.
At this moment, more than a dozen palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the search team all gathered violently and came to the gate of the palace of the third prince Mei Zhixuan.
Hearing this, Qiao Hui frowned and hurriedly stepped forward to cross the threshold and stopped a group of fierce and evil people outside the door, and explained to the visitor: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been on official business recently, and he is not in the palace, I hope you can look at His Highness's face, and come back to search after His Highness returns to the palace another day." Otherwise, if the master is not there, we will really not be able to deal with His Royal Highness the Third Prince as slaves at that time! ”
When the fat and short father-in-law in the lead heard this, he snorted his nose with disdain: "Hmph......"
Then, Yin Yang said strangely: "You can't deal with your master, so we can deal with the queen?" What a bold slave who doesn't know the height of the sky, in this palace, do you say that your Royal Highness the third prince is the greatest, or our queen is the eldest mother! ”
When Qiaohui heard this, she immediately explained in fear: "Father-in-law, please calm your anger, the slave and maid don't mean this, the father-in-law should not misinterpret the words of the slave and maid, the slave and maid are just thinking about ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the father-in-law preemptively interrupted the rest of his words and said sharply: "You don't mean that, then what do you mean?" I see that you are just impatient to live, and you dare to disobey the order, and commit the following crimes! ”
Suddenly, he heard a "plop" sound, Qiao Hui hurriedly knelt down in front of him, leaned over on the thick snow and prayed to him: "The slave doesn't dare, please calm your anger......
Instantly, several other people guarding the door also knelt down with him, begging: "Please calm your anger, and your father-in-law will spare ...... life."
Seeing this, the father-in-law who was full of flesh still refused to forgive, and became more and more ruthless, and ordered behind him: "Hmph, come on, teach my father-in-law a good lesson today, these dead girls who have no rules and don't know the height of the sky, palm mouth!" ”
Suddenly, two steps forward from behind him, several palace maids came, and they all raised one of their hands high and were about to face Qiaohui and the others, who were cold and startled, and the pale little faces fell.
At this moment, an extremely loud voice came from inside the palace gate: "Stop! ”
The palace maids who were about to hit people suddenly froze in place, their movements stopped abruptly, and they stopped in mid-air, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Who is so bold as to dare to make such a loud noise outside the door and disturb the afternoon nap of the little emperor!" It turned out that Xuanyuan Yue came slowly under the support of the maidservants Jinlan and Qiaolan.
Hearing the sound, seeing that it was the master who came forward, several arrogant minions hurriedly reined in their edge, and all knelt down to bow down to them and said: "The minions knock on the third princess and concubine!" ”
Obviously, everyone in the palace knows that Xuanyuan Yue's mother is poor and expensive, because the little emperor grandson who was successfully born is deeply loved by the monarch of Dongning.
In contrast, although the subsequent favor is only limited to the surface, it is also good for their mother and son for now.
All this has become her greatest protection in the harem now, far stronger than the title status of the third prince Mei Zhixuan and her own three princesses.
And in this huge palace, the minions are always the minions, and for these people who hold chicken feathers as arrows, Xuanyuan Yue doesn't care about them at all, and he doesn't even look at them, let alone let them get up easily.
So, she only looked to herself and said to Qiao Hui, who was kneeling timidly below: "Qiao Hui, it's freezing outside, didn't this palace ask you to add some carbon fire to the little emperor's house, why are you kneeling here?" What's going on here? A few of you haven't gotten up to make it clear to the main palace. ”
Qiao Hui suddenly felt a light in her heart, and several people finally got up, Qiao Hui hurriedly stepped forward to Xuanyuan Yue's face, and replied: "Back to the mother's words, the slave and maid were about to go to the warehouse to get some carbon fire, and when they saw that the slave guarding the warehouse was wet with shoes and socks, they were afraid that she would get frostbite, so they asked her to go back and change into clean clothes, and the slave and maid guarded her for a while. "Nine peaches
As she spoke, Qiao Hui moved her gaze to the people who were kneeling timidly at this time, led by the fat-headed father-in-law, who were all kneeling timidly, and buried their heads low, and continued: "I didn't think about it, as soon as I got out of the door of the warehouse, I heard a noisy sound in the direction of the palace gate, and when I came, I saw a few people who wanted to forcibly search the palace? ”
Hearing this, Qiao Lan frowned and looked at those people, and then said in surprise: "Search the palace? ”
Facing Xuanyuan Yue, Jin Lan, and Qiao Lan all of them all suddenly cast questioning eyes at him, Qiao Hui nodded silently without knowing why.
At this time, the father-in-law leader who was lying low on the snow and was scared into a cold sweat opened his mouth and explained to him: "Back to the third prince and concubine, the servants are at the behest of the queen's mother, and they came to the palaces to search and seize the hidden details, and ask the third prince and concubine Niangniang to investigate!" ”
Hearing this, Jinlan and Qiaolan suddenly looked at each other and exclaimed: "Make a ...... carefully"
And for some reason, Xuanyuan Yue suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked tentatively: "The palace has always been heavily guarded, how can there be a fine work mixed in." What does the thin work look like, tall and short, fat and thin? What are the marks on your body? Can there be a portrait of it? ”
Faced with Xuanyuan Yue's questions, the fat father-in-law was obviously confused even at this time: "What about this......"
After thinking about it, he only replied: "I can't hide it, the slave has never been given any portrait of this fine worker, only that her identity is a woman. ”
Hearing this, everyone present was even more surprised: "Female fine work?!" ”
When Xuanyuan Yue heard this, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and his mind became chaotic for a while, so he tried to calm down and pretended to be calm: "Presumably, my father-in-law should know better than this palace, in this huge palace, there are countless women. Bengong doesn't know, just by virtue of the identity of a woman, how can the father-in-law find out this fine work, this sounds a bit ridiculous! ”
"This ......" the fat father-in-law was already speechless.
Thinking that since it was an order to be issued later, and it was such a major event, it was inevitable that the palace would be searched sooner or later.
If you insist on stopping the future at this time, it is not impossible. But in this way, it will seem that he is 'there are no three hundred taels of silver here', which will make Na Ji even more suspicious of this courtyard.
As soon as he thought of this, Xuanyuan Yue seemed to have an idea in his heart, so he ordered: "That's it, Jinlan, although our Royal Highness the Third Prince is not in the palace at this time, we must also fully cooperate with the order of the Queen Mother, and don't embarrass this father-in-law." You and take this father-in-law and the others to the corners of the courtyard and search carefully, don't miss a place, so as to avoid our suspicion. But there is only one, don't disturb the nap of the little emperor and grandson! ”
Hearing this, the father-in-law suddenly thanked him with joy on his face and said: "I have heard that the third prince and concubine are virtuous and virtuous, and they are extremely sympathetic to their subordinates, and today I saw that it was true!" Slave Xie Sanzi Concubine Niangniang is compassionate! ”
Everyone bowed to him and thanked him: "Slaves, thank you for the compassion of the three princesses and concubines!" ”
At this time, Xuanyuan Yue said slowly: "Okay, this ice and snow, get up and don't kneel anymore!" It's just that in the future, they must firmly remember in their hearts that even if they are a lowly slave, they can have the fate to be on an errand in the same palace, and it is a rare fate in this life that they have only gained after many years of penance in their previous lives. No matter how deep or shallow the relationship is during the period, there will be no more in the next life. Therefore, we should love each other like a family, instead of dogs fighting on people's strength, holding chicken feathers as arrows, and treating people who are as humble and difficult as ourselves as others. ”
Hearing this, a group of people shouted in unison convinced: "The minions know their mistakes, and the minions remember the teachings of the three princes and concubines!" The minions will definitely love each other in the future! ”
As soon as Xuanyuan Yue finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the house, and glanced at Qiao Lan beside him, and Qiao Lan quietly retreated into the backyard.
Because Mei Zhixuan's palace was only a few rooms in front of and behind, it was not very big, so several minions soon searched it.
In the end, Xuanyuan Yue stood under the eaves in front of Aiko's door, and asked the minions standing in the courtyard without makeup, "How is it?" Has the father-in-law carefully searched this palace inside and out? ”
The leading father-in-law said with a hippie smile: "Back to the words of the third prince and concubine, except for the house of the little emperor and grandson, the servants in other places have already seen it, and they have not seen any strange and suspicious faces. ”
Xuanyuan Yue listened, and suddenly said in a stern voice: "What? The implication of my father-in-law's words, even the house of the little emperor and grandson is still something you want to search? ”
The leading father-in-law always smiled between his words: "For the sake of the safety of the little emperor and grandson, the slave thinks it is better to let the guards go in and confirm it personally, if it is the thief ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a very majestic man's reprimand suddenly come from behind him: "Bold! ”
