Chapter 13: The Rain Has Not Stopped
"Childe, he?!"
Xiao Chi waved his hand, and Min Nu, who was kneeling in front of the bed, narrowed his dark eyes and closed his mouth obediently.
His deep eyes moved, and Xiao Chi said unhappily: "Min Nu, you have transgressed." You dare to talk too much about my sister's decision, are you tired of being crooked? ”
Min Nu shuddered, hunched his waist and begged: "The slave deserves to die, and I hope that the son will give the sin slave a good time." ”
"Stand down, don't say anything more."
"Yes."
The third brother died, and he died on the way to Xichu. Min Nu intercepted the secret report sent by Aunt Qiubai to her senior sister, which was the hand of the master of the door.
Without asking the reason, Xiao Chi lowered his eyelids and recuperated with peace of mind.
At this time, more than ten zhang deep underground, a black shadow quickly passed by in the dark ancient road, and a group of things on his body chased after him, and the sharp hissing sound shook the black shadow's scalp numb. The deeper he ran, the more frightened the shadow became, and he found that there were new marks around him.
It's not good news for him, is anyone else here?
Who is he?
The rainy ghost weather finally ended the night before the Queen Mother's birthday.
At the end of the day, the cool breeze was blowing, with the smell of rain drying and drying, and the oil lamps were lit, and through the soft texture of the cicada wing veil attached to the wooden window, the dim light spread in the grass in front of the window, and the insects could be heard coming out to breathe.
Xu Qing unfolded the new secret letter and looked at it carefully through the light.
"Xia Liang was seriously injured, he was assassinated on the way to Xichu, and he was brought back to the door.
Be careful. ”
Putting down the letter, Xu Qing sighed in her heart, she had long known that Xia Liang was in the world, but she didn't expect him to be so blatant.
Exposed so quickly!
The secret letter was delivered by a special person from the Qiubai faction, and when she received the news from the people in Xichu, the sky was slightly bright and the rain stopped suddenly.
Xu Qing lit the letter, the flames quickly engulfed the contents of the paper, and the letter fell into the small porcelain cylinder by the mirror table with a loose hand, leaving black ash that collapsed at the touch of a button.
"Afternoon, let's change to a simple bun."
"Yes."
Wu Yu was carefully combing Xu Qing's black hair, and when he heard the words, he took off the hairpin, scattered the freshly curled cloud bun, and combed it again. It was only at three o'clock that the two men got into the carriage one after the other, and the coachman drove unhurriedly through the noisy streets.
In the carriage, a black shadow appeared, respectfully saluted Xu Qing, saw that Xu Qingzheng closed his eyes and did not dare to disturb, knelt in front of Wu Yu at a different angle, and then presented a big red invitation.
"Lord?"
"You take it."
"Yes."
All the way to the north, the carriage stopped not far from the palace gate, another maid who had been waiting for a long time opened the curtain, and Wu Yu helped Xu Qing to get out of the carriage, and at a glance it was a long line of convoys.
Xu Qing was dressed in a moon-white dress, and under the cutting of more than a dozen layers of fabric, the skirt showed an impeccable arc like an almost, blooming white peony, and the overlapping folds were holy and flawless.
And Wu Qi is dressed in a short dress today, and he looks like a slave.
The whispered discussion of the young ladies of each family came into the ears of the master and servant, Xu Qing squinted his eyes under the hot sun, and a few white hostas with good color in his hair looked warm in the sun, and the moon-white hairband tied at the end of the bun fluttered in the wind, which was quite beautiful.
attracted several young ladies to look at it one after another, because of the face, some people wondered and asked whose young lady this was, but no one could answer. However, their topic soon returned to the woman in Tsing Yi that everyone has been talking about recently.
Xu Qing smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
She is now the only one left in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is rarely known in Kyoto all year round, so naturally no one will come forward to talk to her.
No one knows that she is the "big fool" that the people have been spreading by word of mouth these days.
The female officer who checked her identity was skillful, and soon it was Xu Qing's turn.
Wu Yu bowed and handed the invitation to the female officer in front of him, the female official opened the invitation and checked it carefully, and when she saw "Xu Chengxiang's young daughter - Xu Ning'er", she raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Xu Qing, and checked it again and again.
Only then did he say, "Miss Xu, please." ”
Wu Yu's eyes sank, but he heard the female official say again: "Miss Xu, there is a palace maid in front of you who specializes in leading the way, so you don't have to worry about going the wrong way." Please. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Sure enough, within ten steps, a handsome little palace maid stepped forward to lead the way.
Neither humble nor arrogant followed behind the little palace maid, on both sides were continuous red walls, as far as the eye could see, Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly, the high walls and glazed tiles in this palace are the youth of how many jasper girls?
Reading novels in my previous life, there were always princesses who couldn't stand the dogma in the palace and ran away over the wall...... Now it seems that the palace wall is really not as high as this, and you can turn it over if you want to.
The palace wall of Beile is almost four or five meters long, and even if you build a ladder, there are patrolling Janissaries.
Retracting his thoughts, Xu Qing shook his head, not understanding how he thought of coming to the palace wall, this height is nothing to a person with light skills, not to mention that she is not a concubine, it is impossible to be trapped in the palace.
"Miss, it's here."
Wu Yu gave the little palace maid a few pieces of broken silver, and followed Xu Qing into the majestic palace in front of him. Bypassing the screen, the luxurious hall comes into view, the clear dark river water flows down the nullah, more than a dozen carved window lattices are all wide open, and the cold ice can be seen everywhere......
Almost everything you need to protect yourself from the heatstroke is available.
The more than 20 Bingjian filled with ice are not an exaggeration to describe them as extravagant, if Xia Liang is here to estimate what he will say, "arrogant and lascivious, it is not a pity to die".
Xu Qing's back was cold, not only because of Bingjian, but more importantly, there was no one here, the door should have been locked, the female official and the person behind the little palace maid.
It's kind of silly......
"Noon."
"The subordinates are here." Wu Yu also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately knelt on the ground after Xu Qing spoke.
"That eunuch is dead?"
"Yes."
Slowly walking to the window, Xu Qing raised her eyes and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs and the Praetorian Guards who were ordered to retreat in the corner in the distance, really she didn't know the road to the Beile Palace?
"Rather than lacking, a radius of ten zhang, no matter how to kill."
"Subordinates receive orders."
Wu Yu raised his head solemnly, and disappeared into the main hall.
first smeared the fake invitation with itchy powder, and then let people lead the wrong way, and she thought about the crime for the person behind the scenes.
Sneak into the palace.
Trespassing on forbidden land by mistake.
The purpose, of course, is for the silver.
It's not enough, these two charges are not enough, she doesn't let people get some blood, and it seems that there are always people who want to find trouble, so as to show their presence.
In a high pavilion diagonally opposite the door of the main hall, a bored girl in a gorgeous costume sits, and the green-clothed maid next to her is fanning her.
The red-clothed maid kneeling at his feet beat the girl's legs and said flatteringly: "Don't worry, the county lord, that Miss Xu is afraid that she is already crying inside at this time." ”
The girl glanced at the maid in red and tapped her forehead.
"Did you say hello to those people?"
The faint tone didn't know who she was asking, the green-clothed maid hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, but the red-clothed maid took the lead and replied: "Don't worry, the county lord, one is dead and the other is dumb." ”
The girl lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a confident smile. The red-clothed maid took advantage of this opportunity and glared at the green-clothed maid fiercely.
After eating the leopard's guts, he dared to take credit from her!
