Chapter 2: Empress Sheng'an
As soon as the idea of Hua Lan escaping came to her, she began to play the drums.
If there is a coup d'Γ©tat outside, the palace must be in chaos, and those who kill people will be killed, and the concubine and the emperor will not be able to save their lives, not to mention that she is a little palace maid with a humble status?
She leaned sideways and listened carefully, and there were indeed constant shouts of killing and screaming from all over the palace, which frightened her and she immediately stood up.
To escape, first find the palace gate that leads to the outside, but there is nothing in the original owner's head, what can I do? Running around in the palace in a panic, a little palace maid whose life is like an ant, anyone who sees it is a fatal fate.
If your life is gone, why are you running?
After thinking for a while, Hua Lan began to examine the grim form in front of her.
To save your life, you can't panic first, let alone mess up.
Calm, calm!
Hua Lan's eyes fell on the palace concubine in front of her, and she looked at the rockery on the side, and walked into the rockery very decisively.
There are several large spaces in the interior of the rockery, which are divided into three exits, north, south and east, which are probably the places where the palace concubines frolicked and played before, and each space has some holes for hiding.
Hua Lan tried to hide herself in the holes, and if the torches did not shine through, she could barely detect herself by the faint moonlight that sprinkled on the rockery.
Even if it is a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace, if you hide in the rockery and are not discovered, there is still a good hope that your life will be saved.
Thinking like this, her body couldn't help but cling to the stone wall in the hole, although it was a little cold and piercing, but her heart was a lot more steady.
But in the next second, her heart jumped again, and the shouts and screams in the palace became louder and louder, originally only in the east, but now it has spread to the north and south. She was in the west, and gradually there were many footsteps.
What if someone found a body in the garden? Will you vigorously search for rockeries?
Hua Lan didn't dare to think about it, her little luck disappeared in an instant.
Hide the two female corpses first.
That's what came to her mind right away.
Without further ado, just do what you say. Hua Lan quietly walked out of the rockery, and dragged up the woman dressed as a palace concubine on the stone path with her strength.
Although her small body is exquisite, she doesn't have much strength, plus she lost blood and collapsed before, and before she dragged, she was sweating profusely and panting.
It seems that the back is not good, and you can only drag it a little bit and count it one step at a time.
Hua Lan had no choice, so she took a few breaths and dragged it for a while, and it took a lot of effort to drag the palace concubine into the rockery. In this way, the palace concubine's dress was torn a lot.
She dragged the palace concubine to a hole and hid it, and was about to go out, when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the garden, someone walked into the garden, and then a cold and hard voice came out.
"There is blood on the ground, and you guys follow the good blood stains to look for it. There is Xiaotang here, Queen Sheng'an must be nearby, you must find Queen Sheng'an to ensure the safety of Niangniang. β
"Empress Sheng An?"
Hua Lan quickly glanced at the palace concubine in the hole: "This will be the queen, I didn't see it." β
Isn't the queen extremely luxurious, this dress?
Hua Lan's head only turned for two seconds before she came up with the answer, her life could not be saved, and she was so particular about dressing.
It seems that these people who came were not the ones who assassinated the queen, but came to protect the queen.
Hua Lan's mind was spinning rapidly, and she made a major decision decisively without even thinking about it.
The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, the master is dead, can the slave still live?
For today's plan, it is important to save your life, taking advantage of the chaos, maybe no one cares about the appearance, so let's change the dress of this little palace maid first.
She thinks fast and moves faster.
Listening to the footsteps in her ears approaching, she quickly picked off the palace concubine's clothes and put them on her body.
β
The palace concubine's hair was already scattered because of the pulling. Seeing this, she also scattered her hair and rubbed it a few times, just as there were still wet blood stains on the clothes on her chest, grabbed two handfuls of soil mixed with a few mouthfuls of saliva and wiped them on her face, and hid the smooth palace concubine in the darkest place, and fell down to the sound of footsteps.
She still has the kung fu to pretend to faint, after all, the medical family has come and gone, and even the imperial doctor is not as deep as her kung fu.
When the footsteps arrived, the torches naturally shone in, and the people who saw it hurriedly went to return: "General, Empress Sheng'an has been found and is seriously injured." β
What is the identity of the general, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, or the commander of the Imperial Guard?
Hua Lan thought secretly, at this time she had been carried outside the rockery, the ground was cold, her waist was rubbing against the scattered stones on the ground, and her waist was about to break, and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, wanting to open her eyes to see who was coming, but finally gave up.
It hurt so much that my whole body trembled with pain.
"At this time, the Boryeong Palace is quite safe, you guys take Empress Sheng'an to the Boryeong Palace first, and I will go to the imperial doctor."
The general commanded in a cold tone.
Hua Lan was lifted up by several people and flew out of the garden with a quick pace.
The shouts and killings in the palace continued, and these people with a pair of guards found a secluded place to shuttle, and they did not come to a palace gate in a short time.
The palace gate was hidden, and there was a smell of rotten leaves that had not been inhabited for a long time, and a few people stayed behind to guard it, and quickly carried Hua Lan in and found a clean room.
A guard cleaned the room and laid a futon on the bed, and then carried Hua Lan on the bed, seeing that she closed her eyes tightly, leaving one to observe in front of the bed, and the rest were guarding the door.
Not long after, the general's cold and hard tone came again: "Solemnly, the queen mother Luan is driving the phoenix body, you have to watch carefully, and you can't make a mistake." If not, you know the consequences. β
"Nangong Chenghu, what are you talking about? What kind of person am I, with your mouth? β
Yan Zheng's tone was harder than Nangong Chenghu, he broke into the room, ran to Hua Lan's bed in a few steps, saw her face covered with blood, tears flowed down, and hurriedly knelt down: "Yan Zheng is late to save the car, and I ask the queen to forgive me." β
When Hua Lan heard this, she couldn't help laughing in her heart: "It's all at this time, what kind of etiquette do you pay attention to, fortunately, I am not a queen, and my life is in danger." It is important to save people, and if it is delayed any longer, the queen's little fate will be explained. β
Fortunately, she was pretending to be sick.
"Solemnly, hurry up and treat! The queen's condition is critical, so don't come to these ramblings. β
Nangong Chenghu's face was calm, and his tone became even colder.
Yan Zheng didn't speak, and quickly stood up and began to diagnose and treat.
The queen's jade wrist put on a snow-white scarf, and he couldn't stop nodding while diagnosing and treating: "Well, the queen's mother is fine, but now she is just losing too much blood and her body is weak." Fortunately, the remedy was made as soon as possible, otherwise the phoenix body really couldn't be saved. β
At this time, the guards who came in said to Nangong Chenghu: "General, I only found the old concubine of the first emperor, do you want her to serve the queen?" β
"Don't you have any little palace maids?"
Nangong Chenghu frowned and asked Yan Zheng: "Why is the queen mother unconscious?" β
"I lost too much blood, and I was frightened by typhoid fever, so I was afraid that I would have to recuperate for some time. These days must not be alarmed. I'll prescribe a prescription to grab the medicine, eat a few pieces, and the queen's blood will run smoothly, and she will naturally wake up. β
Yan Zheng opened the medicine box with great confidence, fed Hua Lan with warm water, and walked out with the medicine box with a heart.
Nangong Chenghu winked, and the four guards hurriedly chased him out.
