Chapter 377: Whereabouts Exposed
Just after Lin Yuan left the study, the pavilion master remembered where the familiar feeling of the palace maid just now came from.
So he immediately stood up and instructed the guards outside: "Come on, go and arrest the palace maid just now." ”
The chief eunuch who was waiting outside heard the voice of the pavilion master and hurriedly trotted in: "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”
"That palace maid just now is an assassin, quickly seal all the exits in the palace, don't let the assassin escape!"
"Yes, the minion will do it!" When the chief steward heard the pavilion master say this, he immediately went out and sent someone to arrest the palace maid just now.
"Come and arrest the assassins, the emperor has an order to seal all the exits in the palace and don't let the assassins slip away."
"Yes." The guards received the order and soon searched for it.
Lin Kite on the other side didn't know that the pavilion master had recognized her, so she planned to return to the palace from the same way, but when she walked to the palace gate, she suddenly heard a large number of guards rushing over, in order to hide people's eyes, she had to hide in the dark and eavesdrop on what the guards said.
"You guys come here." A man who looked like the head of the guard pointed to a few guards at the door: "Did you see any suspicious people leaving the palace just now?" ”
The guards guarding the gate of the palace shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen it.
The chief guard saw that they didn't look like they were lying, so he ordered: "The emperor has decreed that all palace gates be sealed, and the assassins must be caught. ”
"Subordinates take orders!" The guards received the order and quickly shut the palace gate.
Lin Yuan hid in the dark and saw this scene, and couldn't help but stomp her feet angrily, she didn't expect this pavilion master to recognize herself so quickly, and she deliberately lowered her voice, she had no way to get out of the palace, so she had to find another shortcut.
The pavilion master kept walking around in the imperial study, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly called the eunuch who was waiting beside him in: "Someone is coming." ”
"What does the emperor command?"
"I feel that the palace maid just now is insidious and cunning, I'm afraid I haven't slipped out of the palace for the time being, you quickly send a few people to gather all the palace maids in the palace, and I want to interrogate them one by one."
"Yes, the minion will do it." The chief eunuch naturally knew that this matter was not trivial, so without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and trotted outside.
The palace maids were quickly summoned, and seeing that Lin Kite's identity was about to be exposed, Lin Kite hurriedly hid in a palace.
In a hurry, she didn't realize whose palace this was, and when she entered the hall, she suddenly found that Concubine Jiang was bathing in the hall.
And Concubine Jiang, who was bathing at this time, naturally found a prodigal son who suddenly came in.
So she angrily reprimanded the prodigal son: "What kind of thing that is not long-eyed, dares to come to the palace of this palace, and does not see that this palace is bathing?" Don't get out of the house yet! ”
Lin Yuan heard Concubine Jiang's angry voice, but she didn't get angry, but pretended to be a man's voice and threatened Concubine Jiang from behind the screen.
"If you don't have long eyes, you don't know, but if the mother dares to shout, don't blame the villain for not having long eyes."
Listening to the words of the 'man' in front of her full of threats, Concubine Jiang had no choice but to admit that she was unlucky, gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Just when Lin Yuan praised Concubine Jiang for being Junjie, the sound of the guards searching suddenly came from outside the door.
"My subordinates meet Concubine Jiang." The guards outside the door stood respectfully outside.
Concubine Jiang didn't want to speak, but she heard the 'man' whisper in her ear: "Hurry up and return to him, otherwise the sword in my hand will not be long." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Jiang's heart was shocked, she naturally knew that if she said something that should not be said at this moment, the sword in that person's hand would really fall under her neck.
"Who is making a loud noise outside, don't you know that this palace is bathing and changing?" Concubine Jiang pretended to be calm and spoke to the guards outside.
"Qiqi Concubine Jiang Niangniang, just now an assassin wanted to assassinate the emperor and accidentally let him escape, so the emperor ordered his subordinates to search all palaces, and I hope that Niangniang will not embarrass his subordinates." The guards outside the door waited in horror for Concubine Jiang's orders.
"Hmph, do you think there will be assassins hidden here in this palace?" Concubine Jiang's words were not angry, and the guards outside the Jing said that they didn't dare.
"It's good if you don't dare, so, if it's okay, you can retreat!"
"Mother, this ......." The guards outside were clearly embarrassed.
"Don't you even listen to what Hongu says? Or are you going to come in and search for the Assassins while you're bathing in the palace? ”
"The subordinates don't dare." Even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare, you must know that it was the emperor's Concubine Jiang, and it was not something that ordinary people would dare to offend.
Hearing the sound of the guards leaving outside, Lin Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and at this time, Concubine Jiang on the other side of the screen asked Lin Yuan cautiously.
"They're gone, can you let me go?"
"Naturally, we people in the rivers and lakes do what we say." So Lin Yuan pulled the clothes on the screen and covered Concubine Jiang's face.
By the time Concubine Jiang took off her clothes, Lin Yuan had already disappeared.
Lin Yuan came out of the palace and found that all the exits in the palace had been sealed, and there was no way, so she had to look around to find a way out of the palace.
The guards searched the palace for a long time, but still did not find the palace maid that the emperor said, so they had to report the results of their search to the pavilion master.
"Emperor Qi, your subordinates are incompetent, and you haven't searched the palace maid you said!"
When the pavilion master heard this, he was furious and swept all the things on the table to the ground: "Waste, what are you all doing to eat?" Just a little palace maid can't be found, what do I want you to do! ”
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry." The chief guard knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
The pavilion master knew Lin Kite's cunning, so he calmed down, and said in a cold voice: "Check it out for me again, if you can't find it, don't come back to see me." ”
"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." The chief guard left the imperial study in a hurry, for fear that the emperor would regret it, and his life would be confessed.
Just when Lin Yuan was privately looking for a way out of the palace, she suddenly met the pavilion master's sister on the road, she didn't want to appear in front of the pavilion master's sister like this, but the pavilion master's sister had too poisonous eyes, and she recognized her at a glance.
"Eun Gong!" The pavilion master's sister screamed and pounced on Lin Kite.
Lin Yuan was helpless, so she had to turn around and say hello to the pavilion master's sister: "Miss, it turns out that you are also here." ”
"Yes, I'm a princess, so naturally I'm in the palace." The pavilion master's sister did not have the slightest doubt about Lin Kite's identity.
"The slave maid visited the princess, and I didn't know the identity of the princess outside the palace before, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." When Lin Yuan heard the words of the pavilion master's sister, she pretended to be surprised and fell to her knees.
The pavilion master's sister helped Lin Yuan up from the ground with a smile on her face, "You are my savior, don't be too restrained in this palace, and besides, I don't have too many rules, just be yourself." ”
"Then how can it, princess, you are a princess, and the slave maid is just a little palace maid, how can you ignore the rules!"
"Then in front of outsiders, we will follow the rules, and behind the scenes, we will be called sisters?"
Lin Yuan was still a little hesitant, but when she saw the pavilion master's sister's determined gaze, she had to nod and agree.
"By the way, how did you get into the palace?" Only then did the pavilion master's sister realize that Lin Yuan was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and she had been calling herself a slave just now.
Lin Yuan had no choice but to tell the pavilion master's sister about the reason for entering the palace again.
The pavilion master's sister looked suddenly enlightened: "So that's the case, I think we are also destined, otherwise how could we meet again!" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and didn't speak, she secretly thought in her heart, maybe the pavilion master's sister was a suitable place to stay, so she pretended to be very close to the pavilion master's sister.
"Princess, the slave and maid have something to ask for." Seeing Lin Kite suddenly kneeling down, the pavilion master's sister frowned.
"There's no one else here, so don't kneel anymore!"
"Thank you, princess." Lin Yuan thanked softly, "The slave maid has just entered the palace, and there are many rules that I don't understand, I hope you can let the slave and maid stay by your side to serve." ”
"I thought it was a big deal! Naturally, I agreed to such trivial matters. The pavilion master's sister happily agreed, and now there will be someone to accompany her.
"Thank you, princess, thank you, princess." Lin Yuan thanked him repeatedly.
Who knew that when the sister of the pavilion master in front of her heard her thank her again, she couldn't help but play childish: "Sister, didn't you promise me not to be polite to me again?" ”
"Yes, the slave was negligent." Lin Yuan hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"Sister!" The pavilion master's sister kept shaking Lin Kite's arm.
"I know, I know."
The two of them sat together and talked happily, and suddenly Lin Yuan remembered the woman who had just accidentally broken into the palace and was bathing, so he talked to the pavilion master's sister.
"Just now I accidentally broke into a palace and saw a woman who claimed to be Concubine Jiang, and her attitude was arrogant and unreasonable."
Hearing Lin Yuan talk about this Concubine Jiang, the sister of the pavilion master sat aside angrily: "My sister also said that this Concubine Jiang, she is a concubine in the harem of the imperial brother, and she often relies on her mother's family to be domineering in the palace, I hate her very much, I don't like her very much." ”
"I see, no wonder I just accidentally broke into her palace, and she lost her temper."
"Oh? I don't know how my sister escaped from her palace? The pavilion master's sister's gaze was quickly attracted by Lin Kite.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed: "When I accidentally broke in, that Concubine Jiang was bathing and changing clothes in the palace!" It's a good thing I ran fast, otherwise my life would have been lost! ”
The pavilion master's sister couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lin Yuan say this, and now as long as she thought of that Concubine Jiang's deflated appearance, she couldn't help laughing.
