First one night, then one day, and now another night.

Mrs. Lou covered her heart and said, "I can't sleep this night." Yuan Niang, your family is more well-informed, I will wait for you here. ”

Meng Qingyun comforted her: "Okay, don't worry, madam, let's be in one place, in case something happens, we will have a response." ”

She called Wu Liulai: "You arrange people, go to the gate of the palace and wait, and come back to tell us if there is any news." ”

Wu Liu hurriedly sent someone.

It's so inexplicable, and another night has passed.

Early the next morning, the person who went to inquire outside the palace came back and said that the official family had called the court sick, and the palace was closed.

Mrs. Lou and Meng Qingyun are already six gods and no masters.

Meng Qingyun said: "Madam, you sit at my house, and I'll go to inquire about the news." ”

Mrs. Lou grabbed her hand: "You are a girl's house, where can you inquire?" ”

Meng Qingyun said: "His Royal Highness King Qi is familiar with my family, and I also have a friendship with Princess Shouyang, and they are all people who can enter and leave the court. ”

Mrs. Lou said, "I'll go with you." ”

The two went out by car and went to the Qi Wangfu first.

Jiang Fang also attached great importance to what they said about this.

"I felt a little strange when I heard the official family say that he was sick and quit the court early this morning. Since Concubine Min Shufei was pregnant, the official family was in good spirits on happy occasions, how could they suddenly get sick. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "You guys wait in my mansion, and I'll go into the palace to have a look." ”

Since the official family is sick, it is natural for him to visit the palace.

Jiang Fang also pulled his younger brother Jiang Shu up, and the brothers went to the palace together.

Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou were waiting for news in the Qi Palace.

I waited until noon.

Mrs. Lou's mouth was blistering, and she pulled her fingers and said, "Why haven't you come back?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Neiguan came in and said that Jiang Fang and they were back.

Sure enough, a moment later, Jiang Fang walked in in a hurry, first picked up the tea cup in Meng Qingyun's hand, drank all the tea in one go, and then let out a sigh.

Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou asked in unison, "How is it?" ”

Jiang Fang shook his head: "I can't get in, there is martial law in the palace." Shu'er and I had a hard time talking to meet the big internal official next to the official family, and he only said that the official family was sick and needed to recuperate, and everyone didn't have to visit. We didn't even see the official family in person. ”

Meng Qingyun said: "What is the official family's disease?" ”

Jiang Fang: "In my opinion, it may not be that the official family is sick, but I am afraid that something has happened in the palace and it is not easy to spread the word, so martial law will be imposed on it." ”

Mrs. Lou was so anxious: "I said that something must have happened!" My imperial physician has been detained in the palace for a day and a night. ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Can you inquire again and see what happened in the palace." ”

Jiang Fang lowered his head and thought about it, raised his head and said, "It's better to ask Shouyang." She went into the palace yesterday to greet the concubine, maybe she knows something. ”

Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou didn't care about anything else, turned around and left.

The two of them rode in the same carriage and rushed from the Qi Palace's Mansion to the Princess's Mansion, and soon saw Princess Shouyang again.

Princess Shouyang was not surprised by their arrival at all, and the first thing she said when she saw Meng Qingyun was: "I knew that you had to come to me." ”

Meng Qingyun was pleasantly surprised: "What do you really know." ”

Mrs. Lou didn't dare to talk to Princess Shouyang so casually, no matter how anxious she was, she would first salute her in a proper manner.

Princess Shouyang let them sit before saying, "Yesterday I was in the Guifei Palace, and I suddenly heard that the official family was furious in Funing Palace and smashed the most beloved inkstone. The concubine asked someone to inquire, only knowing that your father Mengshe and Imperial Physician Lou didn't know what to say to the official family, and the official family was furious. ”

"Immediately after that, the entire Imperial Medical Bureau was called to Funing Palace, and after entering, they never came out, and everyone was detained in the side hall."

"Later, the palace guards entered the inner palace, and all the palaces were strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave."

"The concubine deeply felt that something big might happen in the palace, so she asked me to leave the palace before martial law."

"Fortunately, I came out yesterday afternoon, otherwise I would have to stay in the palace at this time, and I wouldn't be able to see you if you want."

After listening to Princess Shouyang's words, although Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou knew more about the matter, they became more and more worried and afraid.

"Does the princess know why the official family is angry?"

Princess Shouyang shook her head: "Everyone in Funing Palace has been given a gag order, and they can't find out anything." However, you can rest assured for the time being, Mengshe and Imperial Physician Lou are just not allowed to go out of Funing Palace, and there are still palace people to take care of their diet and daily life. ”

"Come to think of it, at least it's not the two of them who made a mistake."

This is the only good news in two days.

Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou felt a little at ease.

But Princess Shouyang's next sentence immediately lifted their hearts again.

"I heard that last night, several people were killed in the palace."

"Huh?!"

Princess Shouyang said mysteriously: "Someone saw it, late last night, two corpses were transported out of the palace, an internal official and a palace maid. ”

Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou looked at each other and couldn't say a word.

There are no secrets under the sun.

The matter of martial law in the palace soon became known to the families of various dignitaries, eunuchs and gentry in Bianjing City. Including the killing of two palace people in the palace, it was also spread in private.

What happened?

Everybody is asking.

Meng Qingyun and Mrs. Lou returned to Longjin Bridge.

Jiang Fang and Princess Shouyang both promised them that they would pay close attention to the palace and notify them as soon as there was news.

However, people in both houses were panicked.

At this time, Meng Qingyun felt that what it means to be unpredictable. The feeling of just being overhead, with fate in the hands of others, is really humbling.

It turned out that it was evening, just after nightfall.

An official from the palace knocked on the door of the house.

"Announce me to the palace?"

Meng Qingyun was very surprised.

The internal official, who was waiting outside with two guards, claimed that the carriage was waiting outside, showed Meng Qingyun his Funing Palace waist card.

Meng Qingyun was not familiar with this, so he asked Mrs. Lou to help watch it.

Mrs. Lou looked at the waist card carefully and nodded slightly.

Meng Qingyun then agreed to go with the other party.

After she followed the official into the carriage, Zhang Adaa followed the carriage from a distance until the carriage entered the palace door.

After entering the palace, the carriage walked for a while before stopping, and Meng Qingyun was called off the horse by the internal officials, and he swept around, and he didn't know each other.

The internal official said: "Please don't make a sound, just come with the miscellaneous family." ”

Meng Qingyun responded, bowed his head and followed the other party.

In the palace at night, the dark shadows are very clear, and only the sound of the wall can be faintly heard.

After a short time, he walked in front of a palace, and Meng Qingyun quickly glanced up.

Funing Palace.

There were also guards guarding the palace gate, and the officials showed their waist cards before letting them in.

When they arrived at the main hall, there were only two floor-to-ceiling bronze finch lamps lit with candles in the hall, which could only illuminate a part of the center, and the rest of the lights were silent, and the corners of the surrounding houses were hidden in the darkness.

On the dragon chair facing the temple gate, sat the official, as if he was tired, leaning on one side, his head bowed, because the light was insufficient, and his whole face was buried in shadows.

Hearing someone coming in, he slowly raised his head.

Although there was no expression on his face, Meng Qingyun seemed to see a fierce beast waiting to devour people.

There was a bang, and the door closed behind her.
