Chapter 202: Some People Are Scarier Than Ghosts
In the palace, many people's Qinggao is also pretended, just like An Miao'er at that time, but Mi Yueqing is different.
She's really high, for whatever reason.
Not long after they left Baizhu Garden, Ling Tiancheng came over from Concubine Rong's palace.
He really didn't want to go to see Zhuang Siyan, but he always thought about her in his heart, so although he went outside the Baizhu Courtyard, he didn't go in, but just stood up and went back to the Xuan Palace.
Concubine Rong's palace people knew her temperament, and details like this were automatically skipped and only told her the result.
Sometimes in order to protect themselves, the palace people can be regarded as protecting their masters, and in this case, if Concubine Rong learns the truth, she still can't sleep.
When Zhuang Siyan and the others arrived at Fubi Pavilion, the palace gates there were closed.
Zhuang Siyan stood at the door for a while, neither letting Ping'er go up and knock on the door, nor having any intention of leaving for a while.
It's too cold outside, especially in the palace at night, the wind seems to come up from the ground, freezing from the feet all the way up, and soon freezing people into popsicles.
Ping'er was so cold that her lips turned a little purple after standing for a while, but she didn't dare to disturb Zhuang Siyan, she just stood behind her and shivered.
Zhuang Siyan is also cold, she is not an iron man, no matter how much she wears in this weather, it is useless.
In fact, she had thought about the palace gate before she came, but at that time she thought that it was okay to knock on the door and sit down.
At this time, I really arrived at the door, looking at the closed big red palace gate, embedded in the thick palace wall, towering into the sky, it was really a bit of a deterrent.
So she changed her mind again: "Let's go, go back, it's really boring to sleep in this palace as soon as it gets dark." ”
Ping'er followed behind and said, "Niangniang, if you don't sleep when it's dark, what else can you do?" ”
"There are ...... things that can be done, but you can't talk anymore, let's go back."
The master and servant walked around in the cold wind for a while, as if they were idle, and finally returned to Baizhuyuan.
Zhuang Siyan didn't feel sleepy, but she didn't want the palace people to stay up late with her, after all, she could sleep lazily in the morning, but they couldn't, so she pretended to be very well-behaved on the surface, washed and went to bed.
As soon as Ping'er and Lan Xin fell asleep, she quietly got up again, quickly got dressed, and slipped out lightly.
The night clothes, as well as the feeling of being alone, will make Zhuang Siyan quickly enter a state, that is, something must happen in front of him.
She didn't think about what to do, but she couldn't sleep at night, and it was too boring to lie in bed and wait for sleep, so she came out for a walk.
However, as soon as a person goes out, his feet are like having eyes, and he automatically goes to Ningshou Palace.
It was so late, almost all the palace doors were closed, but Ningshou Palace was open.
The two little eunuchs stood on the edge of the palace gate in a panic, and while hooking their heads to look inside, they whispered, "I don't know what's going on?" You said that it was such a cold day, why couldn't the Queen Mother think about it? ”
The other blamed him: "What do you mean you can't think of it, don't talk nonsense." ”
After it was over, I probably felt a lot of emotion, and then said: "If you want to say it, the Queen Mother is also strange and pitiful." ”
"Isn't it, in this palace, even if it is powerful, it is nothing more than this in the end."
The two of them talked a lot, but they were both careful to avoid important words.
Zhuang Siyan listened outside for a while, guessing that the situation of the Empress Dowager An was not very good, so he played a little trick to trick the two little eunuchs out of the way, and slipped in through the door.
In the dormitory of the Empress Dowager An, the palace maids shuttled back and forth, going in with things for a while, and coming out with things for a while.
Zhuang Siyan listened to the wall for a long time, only to learn that Empress Dowager An didn't know what to do during the day, and she was so angry that her old illness recurred.
A physician on night duty was busy inside, and he roughly talked about the condition of the Empress Dowager An, and then there were a lot of words of comfort to her.
Empress Dowager An's voice was very small, muttering two words vaguely, Zhuang Siyan didn't hear it clearly, but her anger seemed to have disappeared.
After the imperial doctor left, the palace people were busy for a while before they slowly quieted down.
Zhuang Siyan saw Xiaoling coming out of it with a basin of water, so he followed her to the backyard.
"What's the matter with her?" Zhuang Siyan dragged Xiaoling into the dark and asked her in a low voice.
Xiao Ling looked around first and confirmed that no one was coming at this time, before replying: "I'm afraid it's not good, I've been so sick for a while, it's getting worse and worse, and now I can't even eat." ”
"Didn't the emperor send someone to see it?" Zhuang Siyan asked.
Xiao Ling shook her head: "There is only one imperial doctor in the palace to take care of this, no one else has come to see it, and the emperor has never come, but I look at the situation, even if I come, I am afraid that it will not be useful." ”
Zhuang Siyan thought for a while before asking, "What kind of disease is it?" ”
Xiao Ling shook her head, looked around again, and said carefully: "Niangniang, you have to be careful, there are eyes everywhere in this palace, and hands everywhere." ”
Zhuang Siyan was chilled by what she said, and couldn't help but look around: "Don't scare me, okay, saying this kind of thing in the middle of the night is like meeting a ghost." ”
Xiaoling said: "Some people are more terrible than ghosts. ”
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
The bad news of Empress Dowager An has not been spread to the outside world, and the whole palace seems to have blocked the news, and it is calm.
Zhuang Siyan originally wanted to ask Ling Tiancheng what was going on, but suddenly received news from Wen Qing that something had happened in Taichang Temple.
She didn't care about this, she didn't even see Ling Tiancheng's face, and went out of the palace directly.
Luo Ke, who was recognized, probably thought that it would be more reliable to escape after a night of thinking, so before dawn that day, it was the darkest time, he slipped out of the side door of Taichang Temple, and was about to run away, but was caught by Wen Qing, who had been prepared there for a long time.
There was another person with him, a monk who had been sitting with him on the first day and reciting false sutras, but the other one was missing.
"Sun Youhe is gone." Zhuang Siyan said.
"Who is Sun Youhe?" Wen Qing asked.
He didn't know what happened to them on the street that day, and it was a little strange for Zhuang Siyan to suddenly mention the name.
Zhuang Siyan briefly told him about the robbery on the street that day, and then told him: "Now that Sun Xi is with me, Sun Youhe should go back to see his son if he has no owner to protect." ”
Wen Qing was noncommittal about this: "If he really has no owner to protect, he will definitely come out with Luo Ke." ”
Zhuang Siyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and asked, "Your people haven't withdrawn, right?" ”
"No, but I guess Sun Youhe shouldn't be able to catch it."
The prophecy Emperor Wenqing won again, and his people squatted outside Taichang Temple for another three days, but they didn't see Sun Youhe come out, and they didn't see him again when they went in to find him.
"Where will this man go? Will you go home and watch it? Will he go to his son? Zhuang Siyan thought.
When she asked people to guard Taichang Temple, she also arranged for someone to guard Sun Xi's house, and there was Ah Si watching her own house, if someone really went to see Sun Xi, or if she appeared strangely, it would definitely pass the news to Zhuang Siyan.
But so far, except for catching Luo Ke, the rest of the place is quiet.
And Luo Ke was caught too smoothly, which made them a little unbelievable, and after catching him, they couldn't ask a word.
Wen Qing communicated with Ling Tiancheng on the same day.
Ling Tiancheng seemed to have guessed that he couldn't ask anything, so he didn't want to see Luo Ke, so he only asked Wen Qing to find a place to lock him up first.
Anyway, in the eyes of the public, this person is dead, even if he is really killed now, it doesn't matter, Ling Tiancheng knows this, and Luo Ke should also understand it.
The complexity of the matter made Zhuang Siyan look sideways, what is the purpose of going around in a big circle like this?
If it was to oust Ling Tiancheng from the throne and let them do it themselves, by now, this plan had basically run out, what else would they do?
In the past few days, Zhuang Siyan has been anxious outside, she is the kind of person who is anxious, and when a case is received, she wants to solve it as soon as possible.
Even if it can't be solved, she has to know what the other party is going to do?
There is always a reason to kill people and set fires, for money.
Old Man Zhuang's initial behavior was all to get Ling Tiancheng down, and he came to be the emperor.
But now that he is in the dungeon, most of the people with his accomplices dare not make any more moves, and the play has basically ended, but Luo Ke is on stage again.
Luo Ke's purpose is even more dark and unclear, because the monk has never admitted that he is Luo Ke, after a few days of interrogation, Zhuang Siyan almost believed in his evil, wondering if he really caught the wrong person, or Luo Ke has a twin brother, like a TV series, the elder brother ran away, and the younger brother took the bag.
However, she quickly dispelled this suspicion.
Her observation of Luo Ke was too subtle, from the beginning of contact with this person, to everything he did later, Zhuang Siyan would think about it.
If you think about it too much, that kind of detail will be printed into your mind, like a tangible template, as long as something similar appears, it will automatically be put in.
And this monk is just put into that template, not big or small, just right.
He must be Luo Ke, but he doesn't know why he was deliberately arrested.
Two days later, the capital of the Dasheng Dynasty ushered in a sunny day.
In fact, since the last time it snowed, the weather has been quite good, but the sun is often shuttling in the clouds, sometimes hidden and sometimes visible, and at night, there will be cold winds, blowing people always dare not go out at night.
But on this day, the sun came out early in the morning, and if you ignore the cotton clothes worn by the people on the street, ignore the remaining snow in the corner of the wall, and only look at the sun, you will even wonder if the winter has passed.
Zhuang Siyan didn't return to the palace for several days, so she lived in her house.
The servants who had been on vacation had all returned, and waited for her very comfortably, and when she came in the morning, there was a steaming breakfast waiting for her.
Ah Si stood beside her, taking advantage of her meal, to talk back to Sun Xi's situation.
"He went home last night, and our people followed, and he didn't do anything, just looked, and came back again."
Zhuang Siyan turned his head and asked him, "Did he find out?" ”
Ah Si: "Doesn't it seem?" But when he came home at this time, I still felt that something was wrong. ”
"It's wrong, when we took him away, we had already given him money to his family, and it was only a few days, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't be in such a hurry to go back. Did someone send him a message here during the day? Or did you see any suspicious people when you went out? ”
