Chapter 32: The Night Expedition to the English Palace
In the past few days, Xihe has not had time to talk to Li Sisi, and he has to solve the problem of Sisi's three meals by himself.
Ju Brew went to the kitchen of the secluded house every day to pick up food, and went to see Liu's mother by the way, Liu's mother has been much better these days, and she can walk around the ground a few times, and she has eaten a lot of food, Xihe and Sisi are happy, which is the only good thing during this time.
Today is the day to go to Luoying Palace, and Sisi has prepared for entering the palace in the evening.
Because it was a secret operation, he still called Wudou, Liu's mother was better, and he was free, and he only told Mei Lan Zhuju at night that he was entering the palace to live with the five princesses, so he didn't bring anyone into the palace.
The palace gate has been keyed, and the forbidden army is patrolling in shifts, Sisi looked at it from afar, not knowing how to get in.
She didn't want to be known to Concubine Chun to enter the palace, but if she honestly handed over her waist card to enter the palace, it would definitely reach Concubine Chun's ears at dawn that day.
was entangled, Sisi heard a slight call, turned his head slightly and saw the back of the palace wall poking out a head, the forbidden army had just inspected that place, and if you want to patrol that position, it will take about five minutes.
Sisi estimated the distance, if he used light work, could he reach that position without attracting people's eyes.
The position where Li Yuanche poked his head out.
Sisi has always been a person who does what she does, her brain hasn't turned much, her body has already reacted, she launched light skills, walking briskly, although the light skills of Fuyao Mountain have not been practiced to the top, but this ability to disappear traces is still possible, without making a sound, Sisi arrived at Li Yuanche's side safely.
"The Fourth Highness coincides with me." Sisi didn't expect that Li Yuanche didn't plan to let Sisi in through the gate seriously.
This place is where Li Yuanche climbs over the wall every night, when the forbidden army rotates and when it will patrol, Li Yuanche knows it clearly.
Climbing up the palace wall lightly, Li Yuanche couldn't help but admire: "Although I know that you have done it lightly, I don't know that you have achieved such a good thing." β
The palace wall is not short, and the kung fu of the four princes is already very good, but he is also a little difficult to climb over the wall, not as light as Sisi.
Sisi thought to himself, if he had put on the right shoes, he would not have fallen from the wall of the Xiyu Pavilion that day.
At night, there are still people patrolling the imperial garden and the palace road, and the two of them are walking quickly on the palace wall.
The palace people can only see the bluestone slab under them when they carry the lantern, and if they find Sisi and the others, they will definitely lift the lantern, not to mention that the two of them have not made a sound at all.
Sisi felt that the security in this palace was still not very strict, and thanks to the simplicity of the people, otherwise with this level of security, the head of the emperor would not know how many times he would have to move.
The two of them landed lightly under the tree in the Imperial Garden, and Li Yuyao arrived early and was hiding under the tree.
Suddenly, I heard the two clatters of the leaves above, and two figures, one tall and one short, fell to the ground lightly.
When Yu Yao saw Sisi, her jaw dropped to the ground in shock: "I didn't know that the county lord has such good kung fu!" β
"Shhhh
The three of them sneakily arrived at the edge of Luoying Palace, just like before, the acacia flowers fell to the ground, and no one cleaned them.
It sounded very quiet in the palace, and the palace door was closed and there was no light.
The four princes were the first to climb the wall, and the courtyard was empty, with brooms and mops scattered all over the ground.
The master bedroom was dark, and I thought Xiao Cairen had fallen asleep.
He flipped to the ground and quietly opened the palace door, afraid that the sound would be too loud, so he only opened a small gap, and Rong Sisi and Yu Yao came in sideways.
"This palace is really desolate" Sisi looked at the devastation and remembered the fate of this woman, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"There are no palace people in the palace anymore."
Suddenly someone made a noise, and the three of them were startled.
I saw a woman in white with her hair draped and barefoot walking out of the porch.
Sisi squeezed Li Yuanche hard, and only then did he control himself from screaming.
Li Yuanche snorted, and Yu Yao was directly frightened.
The person who came continued to speak: "Why did the three of you come to this Luoying Palace? She pulled her hair together, and saw a pale face, bloodless, it was Xiao Cairen.
She didn't seem surprised by the arrival of the three of them, or maybe she had lost her feelings and was now nothing more than a walking corpse.
"Niangniang forgive the sin, the matter of the Wolong Palace that day γγγγγ"
Li Yuanche seemed to want to explain something, but he felt pale, even if he didn't plan to drag Xiao Cairen into the water at the beginning, he also planned to drag Xiao's family into the water.
"Well, what's the use of talking about it now." Xiao Cairen whispered, then turned his head and wanted to return to the hall.
Sisi hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed Xiao Cairen's hand: "Niangniang, don't go, we are here to save you." β
Sisi looked at the emaciated Xiao Cairen in front of him, his eyes and cheeks were deep-set, and his hair was dry as grass, not like that day in the Wolong Palace, although he was not glamorous, he was dressed generously and decently.
The person in front of him seemed to be another person.
Li Yuanche helped Li Yuyao, who had fainted, to sit under the porch.
Xiao Cairen spoke up: "How did you save this palace, it is because of you that this palace was imprisoned here, why do you come here to pretend." β
She spoke in a very soft voice, as if her lips had only buzzed a few times, although it was a hateful word, it was also light to say it, a sense of detachment after despair.
Sisi helped Xiao Cairen: "Niangniang's words are wrong, after the Wolong Palace, we all know that Niangniang was forced to bear the crime, although the Xiao family is your mother's family, but they are so ruthless to push Niangniang out, although I resent the Xiao family, but I don't resent Niangniang, and Niangniang doesn't have to resent us." β
Xiao Cairen's eyes looked at Sisi vacantly, and the light in Sisi's eyes was extremely sincere.
"If you say you want to help, how can you help." Although Xiao Cairen didn't believe in Sisi, she didn't want to be imprisoned in this Luoying Palace for the rest of her life, eating the leftovers from the pure concubine.
An Yunyun dismissed all the palace people in her palace, and no one was allowed to serve her, so she ended up like this.
"If Niangniang wants to turn over now, she is bound to regain His Majesty's favor, and the women of the harem can only rely on His Majesty's favor to be worry-free."
I've read a lot of Gong Dou's novel Sisi, although she may not have fought if she was asked to fight, but she has seen pigs run.
"I also gave Niangniang a secret, I said to help Niangniang, but not out of compassion, but I hope that Niangniang will return to favor and suppress An Guifei." Sisi looked straight at Xiao Cairen, she knew that the women in the harem didn't believe in your sympathy, and only interests could make her believe it.
Sisi said this, one is to make Xiao Cairen believe in himself, and the other is to arouse Xiao Cairen's anger and unwillingness.
Sure enough, Xiao Cairen's eyes faintly revealed the light of hatred.
Since she was imprisoned, Concubine An Guifei has not been sneering in front of her, and even dismissed her palace people, sold her personal palace maids, and did not allow the six princes to visit.
This pile, one by one, will become a torch that ignites the hatred of Xiao Cairen.
Finally, Xiao Cairen nodded: "I'll join forces with you!" β
Sisi smiled: "Then congratulations to Concubine Shu in advance." β
Li Yuanche looked at the woman in front of him who made him incredible, although she was only thirteen years old, she was naΓ―ve age, but she could talk about Xiao Cairen, and she knew where it hurt, she really couldn't underestimate this woman.
"If it's not easy to talk about regaining favor, this palace has long been old" Xiao Cairen touched his face, his hands were as thin as two dry branches.
Before she touched her face, she put her hand down again and smiled self-deprecatingly: "This palace is not as beautiful as the concubine, how can you beat her." β
"Since you can't fight for beauty, you have to be able to fight for temperament! Although the pure concubine is flamboyant and gorgeous, she is the daughter of a big family in the deep boudoir, and we have a trump card that she doesn't have! β
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's to wronged the lady to lower her body and learn the methods of the Hualou woman to serve people!"
