157, one night in the palace (2nd shift)

Funing Palace was clearly in a mess.

Meng Qingyun was in the hall, in line with the principle of self-preservation, no matter how curious he was, he didn't go out, but through the window paper, he saw the flickering lights outside and heard the footsteps of the guards.

And the clatter of scabbards against armor.

These thrilling voices slowly faded away, turning into shouts across the palace walls.

Those shouts could still be transmitted to the west side hall through a few walls, and you can imagine how panicked the scene must have been.

Meng Qingyun felt that he might be involved in a palace secret.

The legendary stories she had heard, such as the sound of the candle shadow axe, the tanuki changing the prince, the change of the Xuanwu Gate, and so on, appeared in her mind one by one like a marquee.

The sound outside was terrifying.

Just by listening, one can imagine horrific scenes of killing, blood, torture, and so on.

Meng Qingyun tried to divert his attention with something else.

She carefully recalled the scene after entering the palace, especially the question and answer in front of the palace, and gradually groped out some context.

The official family was so angry, and what kind of shame and shame they said, I was afraid that there was some scandal in the palace.

According to the dialogue, it is very likely that this scandal is related to Min Shufei.

But Concubine Min Shu was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and it was when the Holy Grace was solemn, what scandal could there be?

Could it be that the dragon fetus is gone?

No, if the dragon fetus is gone, the official family should be sad in addition to anger, but his demeanor is obviously shame and hatred.

In connection with it again, the first thing the official asked was "Have you ever seen Concubine Min Shu outside the palace", that is, what happened to Concubine Min Shu outside the palace.

Won't it ......

Meng Qingyun hurriedly shook his head and shook off the unbearable speculation in his mind.

It's too rebellious.

I don't think it's so crazy.

She pressed her heart to stop herself from thinking any further.

Then he stood up and walked around the temple in a circle anxiously.

After a few turns, she tried to softly shout "Father-in-law" and "Father-in-law" through the temple door.

There was no answer outside the temple.

I listened to the voices outside again, and it seemed to be getting quieter.

She was bold enough to open the door of the temple through a small crack.

Seeing that it was quiet outside, there was no one, she looked in the direction of the main hall first, and only saw that the door of the temple was open from a distance; Then he looked in the direction of the east side of the temple opposite, and there was no light at all; The small square between the halls was also empty.

She thought for a moment, then slipped out of the door and cautiously walked out along the wall.

When she walked to the gate of Funing Palace, she finally met a few internal officials, but they were all unfamiliar faces, and she was not the one who took her into the palace.

"Father-in-law."

She whispered.

These officials also looked young, and they were all bent their necks against the door, listening to the movement outside, and they were all frightened when she screamed.

When I turned around and saw that it was a girl, I was shocked and said, "Where did you come from?" ”

Meng Qingyun said: "I am the daughter of the Mengshe people, and I was announced into the palace by the official family, where did the Mengshe people go?" ”

Several officials looked at each other, and one of them said, "Didn't the Mengshe people go out of the palace?" ”

Without waiting for Meng Qingyun to be surprised, another said: "No, he went to Huining Palace with the official family." ”

"What happened to Huining Palace?"

"Don't ask, don't ask if we shouldn't know."

The internal officials themselves were vigilant first, and then said to Meng Qingyun: "Since the Mengshe people have not left the palace, they will come to you sooner or later." ”

"That's it, don't run around, just stay here, there's chaos outside."

These young internal officials, thinking that their official positions are not high, are not qualified to participate in the confidential affairs of the palace, so they are also ignorant of tonight's chaos, but have a sense of freshness mixed with nervousness and curiosity to watch the excitement.

Even Meng Qingyun was slightly relaxed by their mentality.

She leaned over and said, "Can you see the movement outside?" Let me see. ”

A few people looked head to head, through the gap between the two doors, trying to look out.

But the gate was so heavy that there was no view at all, and only when people from outside passed by, they flickered at a glance.

After watching for a long time, I could only see two teams of guards passing one after another.

In the middle, I heard an exclamation from somewhere outside, and several people were at a loss and surprised, but they didn't dare to open the door to check.

I don't know how long it took, but the voices outside gradually subsided.

Then the door was slammed.

The officials asked, "Who is it?" ”

Outside: "Me! ”

The officials still wanted to ask who you were, but Meng Qingyun had already heard it.

"It's my father, open the door!"

The officials opened the door with all their hands, and sure enough, it was Mengjin.

Meng Jin came back to look for his daughter, and when he saw Meng Qingyun, he immediately grabbed her arm: "Hurry up." ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Where to go?" ”

"Go home!"

Meng Qingyun walked out of Funing Palace, followed behind his father, and the two walked briskly against the wall.

When they met a janissary running by on the road, the father and daughter looked down and only cared about walking honestly.

The guards have something to do, first, they can't take care of it, and second, although Meng Qingyun is not familiar with it, but when Mengjin enters and leaves the palace, the guards know him, so they don't come up to interrogate.

The father and daughter actually walked out of the palace without danger all the way to the Xuande Gate.

As a result, a figure suddenly appeared next to him, rushing straight towards the father and daughter.

Meng Jin was startled and pulled Meng Qingyun behind him.

"Who!"

The man pounced on him and grabbed him by the robe.

"It's me."

It turned out to be Imperial Doctor Lou.

Meng Jin was surprised: "Where did you come from?" ”

Imperial Physician Lou: "As soon as something happened to Huining Palace, the official family couldn't control me, so I naturally slipped away." ”

Meng Jin said: "Today, it has exceeded your and my expectations, and the official family did not expect such an earth-shattering turn. I have been ordered by the official family to leave the palace and return to the house, so you can go with me. ”

Imperial Physician Lou nodded like pounding garlic.

The three of them went to Xuande Gate together.

It is forbidden to enter and leave the palace at night, and of course the guards have to block and interrogate.

Because Mengjin is deeply favored by the official family, he wants to enter the palace at any time, so the official family has a special waist card to allow him to enter and leave the palace.

Imperial Doctor Lou is also the exclusive imperial physician of the official family, and sometimes the official family has an emergency at night and summons him to the palace, which is also a good thing, and the guards also recognize him.

Meng Jin showed his waist card, and explained Meng Qingyun's identity, saying that the official family allowed him to leave the palace.

But the guards were very strict, and they still sent people to Funing Palace to ask, and the three of Mengjin waited under the door for almost half an hour, and the guards sent to interrogate went and returned, confirming that Mengjin was not lying.

Only then did Xuande Gate open a crack and let the three of them out.

When I got to the royal street, I looked up and saw that the east was already white.

Zhang Adaa actually waited outside the palace all night, and at this time, he saw the three of them come out from a distance and immediately appeared.

In the early morning, the royal street was very quiet, and the four of them walked for more than half an hour before returning to Longjin Bridge, and their legs were about to break.

And when Mrs. Lou saw Imperial Doctor Lou, tears flowed down her eyes.
