Liu Da came in a hurry, only this time, Qiuqiu could only see him in the hut where he was temporarily staying.

The hut was not comparable to the place where he used to live, there was no independent courtyard, but fortunately it was a bit remote, and from morning till night, no one would come.

Qiuqiu lowered her voice and said, "Come on, it's not safe here." ”

Liu Da hurriedly took out a bag from his arms and said, "It has been snowing heavily in the past two days, and there are no stalls on Wuliu Street, this bag was thrown into the courtyard of the Wei family early this morning." ”

The Wei family is Liu Da's sister's family.

Qiuqiu took the bag and quickly stuffed it into his sleeves, Liu Da turned around, greeted the two passing attendants, and walked away quickly.

Only then did Qiuqiu take out the brocade bag from his sleeve and pour the contents into his palm.

But as soon as the thing touched his palm, he felt something strange.

As usual, it is still rolled into a small tube of yellow paper; As usual, there was something wrapped in yellow paper.

One finger!

Qiuqiu let out a low snort, her hand shook, and the finger fell to the ground along with the yellow paper wrapped outside, rolling into the gap at the end of the bed.

Qiuqiu's body froze, unable to move.

Stunned for a moment, he struggled to move his stiff body, bent down, and picked up the yellow paper.

There are only two words on the yellow paper.

Slay the Dragon!

A burning sensation came from his fingers, and Qiuqiu threw Huang to the ground in horror, as if he was throwing a hot iron plate.

He stood stunned, his already stiff body as petrified, unable to move any longer.

I don't know how long it took, but the sharp voice of the waiter sounded outside: "Manager Qiu, Manager Qiu, are you inside?" ”

As if he had been pulled by someone on the vast sea, Qiuqiu spit out a mouthful of turbid air, and he realized that he was already drenched in cold sweat.

"What?" He asked dryly, a voice that felt alien to even himself, as if it hadn't come from his throat.

The little chamberlain outside the house said respectfully: "Manager Qiu, just now even your father-in-law was looking for you everywhere, and His Majesty summoned you over." ”

"Got it." Qiuqiu said lightly.

Maybe the little chamberlain outside the house also felt that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.

Qiuqiu didn't move, and after a long time, he leaned down again and picked up the yellow paper that had fallen on the ground, he suddenly remembered something, looked up, took out a hairpin from the drawer, and pulled out the finger from the crack in the bed in disgust.

This is a woman's tail finger.

The fingers are slender, the fracture has been treated, and no blood is visible.

Qiuqiu doesn't have to guess to know whose finger it is.

He kicked the brazier with his foot and threw the finger into the brazier along with the yellow paper.

The smell of burning skin and meat permeated the air, Qiuqiu was disgusted and disgusted, he turned around and went out, locked the door, and walked quickly to the emperor's bedroom.

A dirty, dirty chamberlain dodged out from behind a holly tree, walked to the front of the house, looked at the lock above, leaned into the crack in the door, and suddenly his brow moved, covered his nose, and flashed behind the holly tree again.

Leaning slightly, a slender figure walked over, also dressed as an internal servant, but compared to the one just now, the clothes were neat and clean, the materials were elegant, and the sleeves were turned out of the inner lining, and two treasure flowers were embroidered.

The chamberlain looked at the lock as well, and then, looking around, took out a strangely shaped key from his sleeve, and with a click, he opened the lock, and he pushed it open and walked in.

Soon, the chamberlain came out of it, locked the lock again, and trotted away.

The man lying behind the holly tree poked out and looked at his back.

Well, even though she had just arrived, she already knew who this person was.

Being in the Qianqing Palace, it's not easy not to know this person.

This is the second favored eunuch by Emperor Chongwen's side, Lian'er.

Zhou Tong raised her eyebrows lightly, she just smelled a smell of burnt meat from the crack in the door, fortunately, that Lian'er didn't dislike it.

Among the emperor's inner attendants, there are Li Guanzhong's people.

As for who this person was, Li Guanzhong didn't say, and Zhou Tong didn't ask.

It's the rule.

Before, she was just guessing, but now, she can be sure.

Lian'er is Li Guanzhong's person.

As for what Qiuqiu burned in the hut, just ask Li Guanzhong then.

Zhou Tong stretched his waist, this time the task is completed here.

Thanks to this heavy snowfall.

Who would have thought that Qiuqiu's house would collapse.

So that she can follow the people of the internal officials and eunuchs into the Qianqing Palace.

For the people of the Qianqing Palace, these chamberlains who acted as masons in the inner officials and eunuchs were all fresh faces, and she was hidden in this group of raw faces, and no one would notice her.

The matter of the house, this is really not Zhou Tong's black hand.

However, there are few real coincidences in this world.

But all coincidences, eight or nine times out of ten are man-made.

Lian'er had a master key in his hand, and since he had saved the mind of inspecting Qiuqiu's house, the first thing he had to do was to move Qiuqiu out of the small courtyard that was guarded by guards next to the emperor's bedroom.

So the house happened to be crushed by the heavy snow.

It is not difficult to do this, at least it is not difficult for Zhou Tong, Lian'er is very familiar with every grass and tree in the Qianqing Palace, and it is not difficult for him to think about it.

Zhou Tong bent on his waist and ran quickly into the shadows of the dead branches not far away.

According to her original plan, this evening, she will follow the inner officials and eunuchs back to their residence in the imperial city.

There is also an imperial city outside the palace, and not every chamberlain is qualified to live in the palace, and the palace cannot accommodate all the chamberlains. Only the eunuchs and chamberlains who could serve beside the masters of each palace could have their own shelter in the palace, while the chamberlains of the 24 yamen, as well as other low-status servants, all lived in the Langxia house near the Xuanwu Gate.

The group of masons and servants in the internal lawsuit, of course, also live in Langxia's house.

As long as Zhou Tong followed them back to Langxia's house, he would be out of the palace. Although Langxia's house is also where the imperial city is located, there are no guards in the palace, Li Guanzhong has already made arrangements, as long as she returns to Langxia's house, she will be safe.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and in the evening of that day, Zhou Tong couldn't finish work with the inner servants of the internal officials and supervisors.

Just when they were about to call it a day, Shuning Palace went out of the water.

Shuning Palace used to be the bedroom of Emperor Taizu's favorite concubine Rong Niangniang, Rong Niangniang died in her early thirties, and Emperor Taizu let the two beauties who originally lived in Shuning Palace with Rong Niangniang move out, leaving only the attendants and palace maids who had served Rong Niangniang in Shuning Palace.

When the King of Qin was not yet a vassal domain, he would often come to Shuning Palace to remember his deceased mother, and later King Qin went to Xi'an, and no one came to Shuning Palace.

After Emperor Chongwen's wedding, there were gradually more women in the harem, and a new master was ushered in in Shuning Palace.
