Chapter 40: Preparation
Early the next morning.
It was easy for Ming Weiran to find a chance to talk to Qingyu alone.
"Qingyu, how do you say you can get out? I see that this place is heavily guarded, so I'm afraid don't even think about it. Ming Weiran whispered.
Qingyu held a broom: "You can't use it to escape." ”
Qingyu's only duty when she came here was to clean the courtyard.
"So what to do?"
Qingyu shook her head.
"If you want me to say, you should let Yu Moxue help with this." Ming Weiran asked and answered.
"Do you think it's possible?" This seems to be a question and a rhetorical question.
Ming Weiran frowned and looked at Qingyu, and replied tentatively: "Feasible...... bar. ”
"If you think you can, do it."
Ming Weiran nodded, a little surprised by Qingyu's reaction.
"If there is an emergency at the palace person's family, he can leave the palace on leave." Qingyu reminded.
"yes, I know." Ming Weiran nodded, in fact, she had already thought about what strategy she had, but she had to ask Qingyu to feel at ease.
After all, no matter how bold she is, she also knows that some things are far from being as simple as they sound, and there must be many people involved in her determination to go to Xining this time, and even related to her own life, she must not be careless, and she must not make arbitrary decisions by herself, and the thoughts of two people are always more thoughtful than those of one person.
Ming Weiran stood beside Qingyu for a while, waiting for him to ask about his plans or his thoughts, but he just swept the floor to himself, as if he had nothing to say.
Ming Weiran was about to speak, but saw Xiao Lu come out to find herself.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Come out and have a look." Ming Weiran replied, she glanced at Qingyu helplessly, turned to leave, and didn't understand why he was a little cold to herself today.
……
Ming Weiran, who had been sitting for a quarter of an hour, was about to speak a few times but stopped, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiao Lu, call Ah Cai." ”
This was a small request that could not be smaller, but Ming Weiran seemed to have made a lot of determination to put it forward.
"Niangniang, do you want Ah Cai to come in?"
"Yes."
After Xiao Lu went out, Ming Weiran said to the other palace maids standing in the hall: "Fasting needs to be pure, you can just serve outside." ”
These palace maids, bowing their heads slightly, came to the door.
After a while, Xiao Lu came over with Ah Cai.
Ah Cai immediately saluted and said, "The slave participates in the queen's mother." ”
Ming Weiran nodded and did not respond.
As soon as Xiaolu saw that everyone was waiting outside the door, Niangniang didn't say a word, so she thought that something was wrong.
"Midori, you can go out too." Ming Weiran said calmly.
Xiao Lu went out of the door a little unknowingly, and wanted to say more, but found that the mother seemed to be a little serious at this time, so she dispelled this idea and went out obediently.
At this moment, only Ming Weiran and Ah Cai were left in the main hall, and it was very quiet, the door of the main hall was open, and the palace maids and eunuchs were standing outside the door.
Ming Weiran thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Lu, take everyone to clean up the yard and rinse it with water." Ming Weiran said loudly.
"Yes." Xiao Lu was not very surprised by this order, after all, fasting is about the word "clean", but I didn't expect my mother to care so much, and even the yard had to be washed with water.
After receiving the order, several palace people went to get brooms and buckets.
Qingyu, who was cleaning in a corner, saw this scene and didn't know what was going on, so she was puzzled for a moment, and then lowered her head and continued to clean.
After a while, the courtyard was filled with the sound of bamboo brooms rubbing against the ground, the sound of water, and the sound of palace people working.
At present, no one pays attention to the queen and Ah Cai in the hall, and no one can hear what they say, but as long as they pass by the door, they can be clearly seen.
Only then did Ming Weiran speak softly: "Ah Cai, this palace will say okay first, no matter what this palace says, don't kneel, don't be surprised, just ask what you answer, don't be too loud." ”
This voice can only be heard clearly.
"Yes." Ah Cai stood aside and nodded, although he didn't know what Ming Weiran was going to say, but he had a feeling of being entrusted with a heavy task.
"Okay, I hear you." Ming Weiran said, "The people of Xining have suffered, and a Qing official has also disappeared, but the governor of Xining and the envoy have suppressed the matter and not reported it, and the palace has to go to see what the situation is in Xining, so I have to go out of the palace, and I can't tell the emperor, I have to ask for your help." ”
Ah Cai listened carefully, showing a look of surprise and incredulity.
This reaction was expected by Ming Weiran, and even better than expected, "Do you understand?" ”
Ah Cai reacted at this time, so he nodded.
"Do you have questions?"
Ah Cai trembled and said, "Niangniang...... Do you want to escape? ”
"Yes." Ming Weiran replied crisply.
"And how can the slave help you?"
Ming Weiran didn't expect Ah Cai to ask this question directly, and thought that he would have to persuade himself.
Good! He's a cheerful person, and I didn't mistake him.
"You pretend that there is an urgent matter at home, take leave to visit the palace, and then go to see Yu Moxue and bring my words over." Ming Weiran said and looked out of the door, and the palace people were still cleaning the courtyard seriously.
"Queen Mother, I don't know what to say?"
……
Ah Cai listened carefully, Ming Weiran gave Yu Moxue these words in righteous and non-negotiable terms, Ah Cai was a little worried about whether he had the courage to say these words to the dignified Ministry of Works.
Ming Weiran seemed to see Ah Cai's hesitation: "You just have to say it righteously, you are the person sent by this palace, and you represent this palace, and when you fall, you must not be stage frightened." ”
"Yes!" When Ah Cai heard this, he dispelled Fang Cai's thoughts and replied firmly.
"Do you know where Yu Moxue lives?" To be honest, I don't even know yet.
"The slave only knows that street, but it's not difficult, the slave is out of the palace, there is a place to rent a carriage a few miles away, Yufu is the emperor's mansion, it is very famous in the capital, and the coachman should know it."
"Okay, you're wearing regular clothes, but don't be recognized as someone from the palace." Ming Weiran carefully admonished.
"Yes." Ah Cai nodded.
"But Yu's mansion is in a prosperous place in the capital, and it is a big mansion, I'm afraid the courtyard won't let the servants enter."
"You just said that Xining has something important to do, and you should be able to see him."
"Yes, sissy." Ah Cai's voice kept being nervous, "When will the slave go?" ”
"After lunch, just today."
I can't delay it any longer, I learned the news of Yu Cheng's disappearance two or three days ago.
That is, after being silent for a moment, Ming Weiran looked at Ah Cai, and slowly spoke: "Ah Cai, once something goes wrong in this matter, you may be implicated, but this palace has no choice...... Everything is out of the way. ”
That day, he and Yu Moxue met by chance, only Xiaolu and Ah Cai were by his side, and he had to find a messenger who was familiar with Yu Moxue, Xiao Lu was a girl's family, it was difficult to do things, only Ah Cai......
Yes, only Ah Cai, others can't.
