"Mother, the slave said that he would follow you to the death." Ah Cai's voice trembled slightly, because this was a rare opportunity to say the truth.

Niangniang, I will swear to follow you to the death, whether you are the queen or not, even if you want the life of a slave, I am willing......

"Thank you." Ming Weiran nodded slightly, her voice was very soft, what moved her the most here was the deep master-servant relationship.

"The mother is tormenting the slave."

"Now we have to think of a reason to leave the palace. Do you have any ideas? ”

"That'...... The slave left the palace on the grounds that his father was seriously ill, and it happened that the slave's home was on the outskirts of Beijing, so it was logical. ”

In fact, Ah Cai's father fell from the carriage a year ago, and he has been sick in bed, and now he can't touch the ground, relying on expensive medicinal materials to survive, but fortunately, Ah Cai and Xiao Quanzi's Yu Lu can maintain the family and their father's medical expenses, but they are only barely surviving.

Ming Weiran didn't understand the reason, but nodded and said, "This reason is okay, but it's a little offensive." ”

Ah Cai was overwhelmed by this sudden apology: "No...... Won't ......"

Ah Cai said again: "Niangniang, according to the regulations, the palace people go out of the palace, if they are in the palace, Niangniang gives a token of Yongyi Palace and then informs the yamen, although there are eunuchs in the palace who are in charge of affairs, but the slaves and maids do not belong to the people of the Qichang Palace, I don't know what to do." ”

[The palace of the Ming Dynasty has 24 yamen, 12 supervisors, 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus, who are in charge of all matters in the palace, and the same is true here. 】

"It's not that hard to ......do, but we have to put on a show, you know?"

Ah Cai nodded, as if he understood.

……

At this time, the sound outside the courtyard also became quieter, and the eunuch and palace maid put back the broom and bucket in their hands.

As far as the eye can see, the courtyard is clear and bright.

Xiao Lu stood outside the door and said, "Niangniang, it's all right." ”

Ming Weiran nodded, then got up from the chair, and said loudly as he walked out the door: "Ah Cai, can you explain your affairs clearly?" You go to the dining room to find a few fish, and the main palace will release them himself. ”

Ah Cai replied with understanding: "Yes." ”

This is called "Wanting to Cover Up", and it is for other people, including Xiaolu, of course.

……

Ming Weiran slowly put down the chopsticks, the lunch was over, and now the plan has officially begun!

Ming Weiran walked out and looked at the four buckets of fish and said, "Let's accompany the palace to release the fish." ”

The four eunuchs Ma Li had to lift the bucket, and the palace maid followed behind Ming Weiran.

It has not yet left the gate of the Fengran Pavilion......

"! Empress! I saw Ah Cai running over with a burden on his back, crying and kneeling on the ground.

Mama Qian immediately stepped forward to obstruct: "What are you doing?!" Shocked the queen mother, do you want your little life. ”

"Mama Qian, don't stop him." Ming Weiran walked over with a puzzled look and asked, "Ah Cai, but what's wrong?" ”

This acting is okay, right......

"Niangniang, the slave maid just got the news from the palace, and said......" Ah Cai said and actually cried, "said that the slave's father is seriously ill, and there is only a ten-year-old brother and an old mother in the family, and the slave must go over to take a look, so the slave wants to take a leave, if the father is okay, he will immediately return to the palace and ask the mother for permission." ”

After saying that, his head slammed into the ground, and there was a muffled sound.

Ming Weiran saw Ah Cai's appearance like this, and said it in such detail, and began to wonder if something happened to Ah Cai's family.

"Just go."

"Xie Niangniang." Ah Cai looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, "But...... How do minions get out of the palace? ”

Ming Weiran looked at Mama Qian and said, "Mama, is Ah Cai going out of the palace, are you looking for the eunuch who is in charge here?" ”

"Niangniang, don't bother, Ah Cai is your person, the steward eunuch of Qichang Palace does not have the right to take care of the people in your palace, Niangniang, just let him go over with the token of Fengran Pavilion."

Mama Qian said and pointed at Ah Cai, which was full of flattery. [For the convenience of doing things, each palace has a number of tokens, and only the most powerful eunuchs or palace maids can carry them, and the rest of the tokens are kept by the lord of the first palace. 】

Xiao Lu was very worried when she saw that Ah Cai was in a hurry like this, and immediately volunteered: "The slave knows where it is, I'll get it." ”

"Go." Ming Weiran said.

Ah Cai took the token and bowed and thanked him, and then hurriedly ran out of the Fengran Pavilion.

Ming Weiran smiled, at that time, he seemed to understand whether he understood or not, I just thought that he didn't understand what he meant, but I didn't expect to be so "enlightened" so thoroughly.

Looking at his distant back, Ming Weiran stood for a long time, and for a moment there was a bit of generosity and indignation, and of course, the determination to flee to clear Xining.

Ming Weiran took a deep breath, looked ahead, and then walked towards the fish pond.

What she didn't know was that everything that had just happened was seen by Qingyu one by one.

Qingyu behind the tree watched Ming Weiran go out, turned around and leaned against the tree, and smiled slightly.

It's only been a few days?

I didn't expect her to grow so fast.

……

Ah Cai, who left the palace, found a secluded corner and hurriedly changed his clothes.

Dressed in constant clothes, it seems that Ah Cai always feels inferior to his identity, the hat is always lower than others, and he always keeps his head down, whether he needs to bow his head or not, those eyes are always in the shadow of the brim.

Now that he is wearing regular clothes, he is no different from ordinary people, he took off his hat, and his smiling eyes immediately brightened, and he always attracted the attention of passing women on the road.

Ah Cai didn't care about these at all, he only knew that he had important things to do now, so he was in a hurry.

When I arrived at a teahouse, there were many horse-drawn carriages parked next to the teahouse, which were horse-drawn carriages that could be rented.

At the same time, the carriage stopped in front of a large red and copper-inlaid wooden door, in front of which two towering stone lions and a row of people guarding the door showed the wealth and power of the family.

Ah Cai paid the silver, and when he looked up, he saw two words on the plaque of the big red door - "Yufu".

In front of the door, there were two housekeepers in blue cloth clothes, one with a high face and hands behind his back.

"Big brother, our master sent me to find you, Lord Yu."

Jia Ding looked at Ah Cai, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Who?" ”

Ah Cai couldn't react for a while, did he ask himself or Niangniang?

The family was so impatient that he repeated again: "I said who is the master of your family?" ”

"Our master of my family has a noble status, and we can't easily tell others." Ah Cai replied frankly and neatly.

Yes, as long as it is the affairs of one's own master, it cannot destroy morale.

But the family was on fire, and just about to scold Ah Cai, Ah Cai immediately reacted and spoke in front of him: "My master said that Xining has something important. ”
