Chapter 5 Soup
As I watched the maid leave, my heart was a mess, time was pressing, but there was no way for me to escape from this cage.
After thinking about it again and again, I must go out for a stroll tonight, otherwise, if I continue to consume like this, I will enter the palace in vain.
With that in mind, I picked up my food and ate it tastelessly.
By the time Shen arrived, lunch had not yet been delivered, but a few more girls came to the maid's house, and they were arranged in the room opposite us, which was also brought by Aunt Zhen.
I stood at the door of the room, looked at it for a while, and saw that Aunt Na was about to leave after she had placed the girls, so I immediately walked quickly towards her.
"Aunt Zheng!" I called out to her.
She turned her head and looked at me.
"What?" She asked lightly.
"Oh, that's the case, I want to ask, is Ruixue who came with me out of the palace?" I asked Aunt Ji with a smile.
When Aunt Zhen heard me ask, she immediately frowned.
"When you entered the palace, I taught you, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just stay well." She replied unhappily.
I looked at her and nodded, but my eyes fell on Aunt Zhen's bun.
On top of Aunt Zhen's hair bun, there is a golden hairpin inlaid with pearls, which is still shining under the sun, which is very beautiful.
However, I have seen this hairpin before, although I only glanced at it at the time, but I am sure that this hairpin is Zhong Ruixue's.
Moreover, when Zhong Ruixue said that this hairpin is the heirloom of their family, Bao, looking at the appearance of her carefully inserting the hairpin at that time, she should be very fond of it.
But now, how did this hairpin end up on Aunt Zhen's head?
Could it be that Zhong Ruixue gave this hairpin to Aunt Zhen?
Aunt Zhen's expression became more and more solemn when she saw me staring at her hair bun.
"My aunt's hairpin is so good-looking, and it is very good for my aunt's temperament." I pretended not to know anything about the origin of the hairpin and praised it.
When Aunt Zhen heard this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she helped the hairpin on her head, then glanced at me and said, "The mouth is really sweet." ”
"Auntie, when am I going to stop the evil?" Seeing that she was in a good mood, I hurriedly asked again.
"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." After saying this, she was about to leave.
I asked again: "Is Rue still like this?" ”
"If you block it, you will be directly released from the palace." There was some impatience in Aunt Zhen's tone.
"However, Rue's baggage is still in the house, and she has not taken it away." I looked at Aunt Zhen and said.
"Well, take it out, I'll bring it to her." When Aunt Zhen heard this, Yue Yunxiang's burden was still here, and immediately asked me to take it out.
I nodded, but when I went into the house to get the baggage, I opened it, and when I looked at it, I saw that there was a small porcelain vase in the baggage, and then it was just some clothes, nothing special.
"Is this medicine?" I was very suspicious, and before I could see clearly, Aunt Zhen came in by herself, and I handed over the burden directly to her.
She took the burden and weighed it, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
As soon as this aunt left, I began to think about it, and I was ready to go out tonight.
But as a result, people are not as good as the sky, and after dark, I climbed over the wall, and the height of the wall where the maid was locked was nothing to me.
However, as soon as I climbed the top of the wall, I found that there was a person guarding the wall every five or six paces.
The garments of these men were not those of the eunuchs, but of the priests.
It seems that now this maid is in the hands of the priest.
I lay on the wall and looked at it for a long time, knowing that I would definitely not be able to go out tonight, so I had to sneak back into the yard from the wall again.
The new girls on the other side were still laughing and laughing, and it was very lively, and I went back to the house alone, and my mood was extremely low.
One person sat on the bunk, and the more he thought about it, the more impatient he became.
"Click!"
Not long after he sat down, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was the palace maid who came to bring hot water to take a bath.
I opened the door, and two maidens came in carrying barrels.
I was sighing and about to take off and wash my clothes, but as soon as I took off my coat, I found that the hot water tonight was green again.
The two palace maids, after bringing in the hot water, went to the door to guard as before.
Looking at the green water, I thought that Yue Yunxiang seemed to have soaked in this water yesterday, and suddenly became "quiet".
So, I leaned over, squinted and looked at the water carefully, and suddenly found that there was a very fine layer of ash floating on the surface of the water.
I didn't know if there was really a problem with the water and ash, but I was careful, so I just changed my bedclothes and poured some tea on my face and hair.
When they came in and carried away the barrel, I was as quiet as Yue Yunxiang, and all I could think about was whether I was ugly or not.
They took the barrel and closed the door.
In my heart, I panicked even more.
What does this mean? Yue Yunxiang was carried away when she was ugly today, why did it take my turn so soon? Impossible, right? That Zhong Ruixue went to block the evil for three days.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a result, so I could only take out the important things in the baggage and quietly figure it out, so as not to leave everything behind like Yue Yunxiang at that time.
Lying on the bed, I kept my eyes open until I was ugly.
"Ringing ringing, ringing ringing!"
As soon as the ugly hour came, I heard a very low sound of bells, so quiet that I would not have heard them unless I had been awake and had been paying attention to the movement outside.
And after the bell rang, I also heard footsteps, I got up directly from the bed, secretly glanced out the window, and found that the sedan chair that carried Yue Yunxiang away yesterday was ugly.
At this point, I can be sure that there is indeed something wrong with the soup in the bath.
So, hurriedly learning from Yue Yunxiang's appearance yesterday, drooping his eyelids, opened it, and walked out of the door.
Aunt Zhen was already waiting for me outside the door, and when she saw me come out, she went into the house and took my baggage.
Then he motioned for a palace maid to help me get into the sedan chair, and when I got into the sedan chair, they immediately carried the sedan chair out of the maid's lock house, presumably to send me to the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Prince.
On this sedan chair, I can only sigh, I finally came in, why haven't I found out a little bit of news about my senior sister, and I'm about to get out of the palace?
Thinking like this, there is nothing else in my heart but anxiety.
"Click, click."
The person carrying the sedan chair outside walked hurriedly, and I secretly lifted a little curtain of the sedan chair and glanced out.
There were lanterns all the way outside, but for fear of being discovered, I just peeked at it, and I was sure that I was far away from the maid's lock, and now I was walking on a road.
