The old man's shouts attracted a group of people to come and watch, and the man lying on the ground was festering, and his face was still bubbling with yellow water.

Everyone was afraid of what kind of epidemic it was, and they didn't dare to come close to see if he was dead or alive at this time, but only stood next to him, talking about it.

The man seemed to be awakened by their voices, and gradually opened his eyes, and swept over the crowd in confusion.

He felt that his face was too itchy, and reached out to scratch it, but he felt as if it was not his own face, but something that was soft and sticky like fermented bean curd......

The onlookers screamed and ran away, and the man looked suspiciously, and the first thing that caught his eye was the blood and yellow pus on his hands......

In the palace.

Ruan Si went to Pan Shangyu with red and swollen eyes, and when he saw her, he knelt directly in front of her before he could speak.

Pan Shangyu was startled, and hurriedly went over to help her up and said, "What's so flustered?" ”

"Pan Shangyu, please save me, my aunt just asked someone to pass the word, saying that my cousin has a strange disease and is dying, I want to go out of the palace to see my cousin for the last time, please help Pan Shangyu find a way......"

Pan Shangyu's face was embarrassed: "However, you are not yet old, and there is no rule to leave the palace in advance......"

Ruan Sideng immediately said: "Yes, I have already told the sisters of the Shang Food Bureau that I can hide in the swill bucket and get out of the palace at that time, as long as Pan Shangyu hides it for me for one night...... Pan Shangyu, I was fostered in my aunt's house since I was a child, my aunt and uncle treated me badly, they only treated me as a maid who didn't want money, and I didn't have enough to eat, if my cousin hadn't been taking care of me, I would have died there a long time ago...... I didn't plan to go out of the palace to be with my cousin in my life, but I had to repay the kindness I had since I was a child...... Pan Shangyu, please help me......"

Pan Shangyu was moved, and helped Ruan Si Deng up distressedly, and said, "I understand your anxiety, if someone asks, I will definitely hide it for you." ”

Ruan Sideng immediately kowtowed to Pan Shangyu: "Thank you Pan Shangmeng, I will definitely repay your kindness when I return to the palace!" ”

Pan Shangyu sighed: "Poor child, is there a shortage of silver? I still have some in my hand, you can take it first. ”

As he spoke, Pan Shangmeng took out a bag of broken silver from his body and handed it to Ruan Sideng, Ruan Sideng hesitated for a moment, she now doesn't know if her cousin's illness has been cured, she really needs silver, it's a big deal to borrow Pan Shangmeng's first, and return to her.

She stretched out her hand to take it and said gratefully, "Thank you Pan Shangyu." ”

"You're not polite to me." Pan Shangmeng paused, and suddenly said, "By the way, you are on night duty with An Shangmeng tonight, right?" ”

Ruan Si Deng nodded.

"Well, then you can also go and talk to An Shangyu, she will not embarrass you."

"Okay."

Ruan Sideng left here and went to Jingyang Palace, and she didn't hide it from An Ge, and directly told An Ge about her plans.

After An Ge heard this, he had the same reaction as Pan Shangyu, and he was also very sympathetic to her, and said, "You go, I'll let Cui Si Deng be on duty with me later...... Are you short of silver? ”

Ruan Sideng shook his head: "Pan Shangyu has already lent me money, it should be enough." Thank you Ann Shangbed! ”

"You're welcome, go ahead and remember to come back as soon as possible. If it's missing tonight, if someone finds out, Pan Shangmei and I can carry it for you, but if it's still not there tomorrow, it's not easy for the two of us to explain. ”

"I'll be back."

Si Deng thanked An Ge and hurried to the Shangshi Bureau.

"Coming? Hurry up, after the hour is over, the palace will not let you out. The female officer of the Shang Food Bureau secretly took her to the place where the swill was placed at the back of the dining room, and Ruan Si Deng immediately pinched her nose and jumped into the swill.

After a while, the soft lamp, who was hiding in the bucket plum, felt the carriage carrying the swill move.

The smell of the swill bucket was pungent, but the thought of being able to leave the palace to see her cousin soon, no matter how painful it was, she had to endure it.

Soon, when I arrived at Donghua Gate, the guards guarding the door and the waiter who sent the swill were also acquaintances, and I didn't know how to check them on weekdays, so I didn't look at it much today, but I just turned over two buckets at random, and said, "Okay, you guys go out." ”

Ruan Sideng listened to it in the bucket and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she left the palace, she could immediately go to see her cousin.

But at this moment, a few guards suddenly ran over and shouted to them, "Slow! ”

The chamberlain who delivered the swill quickly stopped and waited respectfully for him to come.

"Some people say that you smuggled the female officials in the palace out of the palace, and those who know each other should quickly explain, otherwise you will have good fruits to eat!"

Ruan Si Deng was flustered...... How can it be discovered?

The chamberlain didn't know anything, and the female official who arranged for Ruan Si Deng to come in didn't tell him.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Guard, it's impossible, don't you believe you can check it again?" ”

The guard nodded, jumped into the car and lifted the lid of the bucket of swill, Ruan Si didn't dare to come out, praying in his heart to survive this catastrophe......

But the miracle did not happen, and the guard lifted the lid on her head, and the knife was raised, and he said sharply, "Which game are you?" Come out! Follow me to the Queen's Mother! ”

Ruan Si Deng came out of the swill bucket crying, knelt on the ground and said: "Big brother, please be accommodating, my cousin is seriously ill, I have to rush out to see him, I beg you, I beg you......"

The waiter who sent the swill was also shocked, and knelt down and said, "Brother guard, this is none of my business...... I didn't expect there to be a person in it! ”

Seeing that the guard did not react, Ruan Sideng immediately took out the silver he was carrying, handed it over, and said flatteringly: "These silver, please drink from the eldest brother, please be accommodating......

The guard kicked her money bag open and snorted coldly: "It's not worth it to gamble on your future and life for your little money!" Stop talking nonsense, come with me to meet the Queen! ”

"Please...... My cousin is really sick......"

Ruan Sideng trembled with fright, and cried bitterly, she violated the rules of the palace and went out of the palace without permission, it was a big crime, this is not counted, she couldn't go out to see her cousin......

At this moment, Zhang Luo'er walked over quickly, glanced at Ruan Si Deng on the ground, and explained to the guards: "Big brother, you are accommodating, in fact, this girl was sent out by Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian. The two mothers wanted to eat the pea yellow of Li Ji, so they sent her out to buy it, which is not a big deal, and they can't make the queen and the emperor know about it...... Besides, look at her now, she is full of stinky bodies, and when she dirties the ground of Yikun Palace in a while, the queen mother may be in a bad mood, and even you guards who guard the door and the servants of the Shangshi Bureau will be punished together...... Big brother, you can't put so many people on it for such a trivial matter, right? ”

The guard seemed to be a little moved, and hesitated, "But ......"

Zhang Luoer pulled him over and stuffed a small money bag into his hand

, the number of visual inspections will not be low. Zhang Luo'er said: "Big brother, this is the lady concubine Niangniang invited you to drink tea, the eldest brother will make it convenient for the lady concubine and the virtuous concubine to sell personal favors, if the eldest brother needs the help of the two ladies in the future, the two ladies will definitely return the favor of the eldest brother." ”

The man weighed and said, "Okay, I'll just assume I didn't see it, but it's not in accordance with the rules...... If I find out, I can say that the lady forced me! ”

"Then thank you, big brother."

Zhang Luo'er thanked him, and went over to help Ruan Sideng, Ruan Sideng was grateful, and said, "Concubine Shuniang actually took on such a responsibility in order to help me...... But don't worry, if it is really discovered, I will bear it alone, and I will definitely not implicate the lady! ”

"Don't worry, this little thing can be dealt with." Zhang Luo'er chuckled and finished speaking, and then lowered her voice and said to her, "On weekdays, no one has ever checked this door so strictly, why did you come here today to check it?" Did you tell someone you shouldn't have told about it? ”

Ruan Si Deng was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "Impossible, I only told Pan Shangmeng and An Shangmeng, and both of them said that they would help me hide it......"

Zhang Luo'er sneered and said: "In this palace, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, some people like to do one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs, as for whether An Shangyu betrayed you, or Pan Shangyu...... It's up to you to feel it, both of them and I are unfamiliar with each other, and I don't know which one is the villain with a honey-bellied sword. ”

Ruan Sideng felt that it was reasonable, and secretly gritted his teeth...... Pan Shangmei has always treated her like a daughter, and he will never assassinate her, but it is Ange......

But Ruan Si Deng didn't understand, why? She is a general's wife, and now she is a female official in the palace is also temporary, and when the general comes back in the future, she will definitely go out and continue to be her general's wife, what is she secretly doing herself? The two of them clearly shouldn't have any entanglements of interests!

Although Ruan Sideng couldn't figure it out, she had almost decided that An Ge had done it.

"Do you say that An Ge is afraid that her husband will not be able to come back from the war outside, and that she is afraid that she will be widowed in the future, so she deliberately wants to stay as a female official...... And you are the best in the Shang Dormitory Bureau except for Pan Shang Bed, so she is jealous of you? Zhang Luoer provoked.

Ruan Sideng also felt that this reason didn't make sense...... "Even if General Jing never returns, she will make more money by going back to widowhood and inherit the family business than being a female official in the palace, right?" ”

Zhang Luoer shook her head; "That's not necessarily, the two of them are newly married, and now they have no children, what family business can she inherit as a widow? Are you really the other relatives of a wealthy family who are easy to get along with? The Jing family's family business must be the turn of the Jing family, if she Ange has no husband and no children, is it considered the Jing family? ”

Like, it seems to make sense......

Zhang Luo'er didn't say anything anymore at this point, she sent Ruan Sideng out of the palace gate, and said, "You go out quickly, I won't send you." ”

Ruan Si Deng retracted her mind, and the most important thing now was to visit her cousin.

After she left, Zhang Luo'er also turned her head back, and the guard who stopped the car greeted her from the side, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhang, if you have such a good job in the future, you will still look for me." ”

It's just that in the past, talking, playing prestige, and scaring and scaring people, he earned two hundred taels of silver, which is indeed a rare good errand.

Zhang Luo'er smiled and said, "That's right, serve Concubine Shu Niangniang well, and the benefits are indispensable to you." ”
