Chapter 178: Returning the Favor
He looked at Wei Qingqing with a complicated expression and asked, "What's your name?" Where to work on errands? ”
"The slave maid is called Yutan, and she works as an errand in the imperial dining room." Wei Qingqing didn't blink an eye and made up a fake name!
She now has a Hua Dan face, before and after makeup, and if she boldly reports a fake name, then as long as she fools the level in front of her first, and then finds a chance to escape, no one will be able to find her!
Emperor Wu wanted to ask again, but suddenly saw a black shadow flash from the window, and immediately looked awe-inspiring and shouted: "Who is outside?!" ”
"Bang dang!"
Recently, the window close to Emperor Wu was broken by brute force, and a masked man in black broke through the window, holding a sword and approaching Emperor Wu!
Chen Jinbao's eyes were as wide as copper bells in fright, and his sharp voice was almost broken by fright, "There are assassins!" Come on! ”
When Wei Qingqing heard this, she rolled to the side neatly, hid behind the screen and took a closer look, and saw Emperor Wu meeting the assassin with his bare hands, while Chen Jinbao was so frightened that he spun around in place, and for a while neither of them could take care of her...... Golden opportunity!
Wei Qingqing immediately quietly moved towards the palace gate, saw the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to leave the dormitory, and ran all the way out of Yikun Palace before the guards arrived!
Chen Jinbao's screams will soon attract the guards, she must run fast!
But Wei Qingqing still underestimated the speed of the guards' arrival, and before she could run to the place she expected, she saw the fire surging...... The guards are coming!
She must hurry! Hurry up!
It's a pity that even though Wei Qingqing ran with all her strength, she still couldn't run to Cining Palace in the end, so she couldn't move forward, and if she continued to move forward, she would inevitably be blocked by the oncoming guards!
Wei Qingqing could only turn around and retreat, and when she passed by Yongshou Palace, she accidentally saw a little palace maid who probed her brain and inquired about the news, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and broke in regardless of it!
The little palace maid hurriedly chased after her, "Stop! Who are you? Dare to trespass on the Yongshou Palace! ”
"Go and tell your mother that the old man is visiting, and I have something urgent!" Wei Qingqing didn't care about the little palace maid's questions, and only hurriedly asked her to pass it on.
The movement outside was so loud that Concubine Zhao had already been awakened, and as soon as Wei Qingqing broke into the palace, she came out with the support of the palace people in her clothes.
Concubine Zhao stood on the bluestone steps and looked at Wei Qingqing condescendingly, "This palace wants to see who is so bold and dares to break into my Yongshou Palace at night." ”
Wei Qingqing made a "shhh" gesture at Concubine Zhao, lowered her voice and said, "I don't know if Concubine Niangniang still remembers that she owed me a favor?" ”
Concubine Zhao frowned and looked at Wei Qingqing's flowery face, but she couldn't recognize her face, "Are you?" ”
Wei Qingqing said with a calm face, "Tzu Chi Guan Nei administers needles to protect the fetus. ”
"It's you!" Concubine Zhao's straight figure relaxed, and she looked Wei Qingqing up and down with disgust before she spoke, "It's so ugly to dress up like this!" What are you still doing in a daze? Follow up and come on! ”
After speaking, Concubine Zhao took the lead in walking to the inner hall, and on the way, she ordered someone to take her clothes for Wei Qingqing to change, and listened to Wei Qingqing explain the reason for the matter.
"You dare to trespass on the forbidden land, in the huge palace, only this palace has the courage to protect you." Although Concubine Zhao said this, there was no fear on her face, and she was obviously not afraid of being dragged down by Wei Qingqing.
Wei Qingqing knew how much risk the person who saved her had taken, but before she broke into the Yongshou Palace, she was seven or eight points sure that Concubine Zhao would help her.
After she replaced the singing and opera that would kill her, she solemnly saluted and thanked Concubine Zhao, "Thank you for your help." ”
Concubine Zhao waved her hand disapplauded, and her words were as hateful as ever, "You don't have to thank this palace, this palace is just returning your favor, if you go back to this palace next time, you will only watch coldly and see death without help." ”
"You will stay in the Yongshou Palace of the main palace first, and then return to Cining Palace tomorrow," Zhao Guifei had already thought of her words when she left Wei Qingqing, "If anyone asks, they will say that the palace suddenly felt unwell in the dragon fetus, so they summoned you late at night and forcibly left you." ”
"Anyway, this palace is used to being dominant, and there are many things that are difficult for strong people, and no one will be suspicious," she said and instructed her henchmen and palace maids, "Go, burn all the things that Wei Qingqing replaced, don't let people see the clues!" ”
With Concubine Zhao Guifei coming forward to help deal with the aftermath, Wei Qingqing naturally sat back and relaxed.
Wei Qingqing went out of Yongshou Palace generously on the second day, and asked after returning to Cining Palace, sure enough, no one doubted that she did not spend the night in Cining Palace last night, and they all believed Zhao Guifei's rhetoric, after all, she and Zhao Guifei had a relationship with the dragon fetus in the womb of Zhao Guifei, and it was reasonable for Zhao Guifei to summon her to take the pulse when the dragon fetus was not suitable.
Wei Qingqing saw that no one doubted her, so she dared to boldly inquire about last night to Xue Kite, "I heard that an assassin broke into Yikun Palace last night?" Did the Imperial Guards capture the Assassins? ”
Snow Kite looked apprehensive, "I heard that the assassin escaped in the end!" Alas! I don't know where the assassin fled, or if he would suddenly appear again in the night...... In short, the whole palace is now panicking! ”
"Escaped?" Wei Qingqing's heart froze, and then asked, "Can anyone be injured?" ”
"No one was injured," Snow Kite told Wei Qingqing the news she had found out early in the morning, "I heard that although the assassin was armed with a sharp blade, he only blindly pestered the emperor to prevent him from getting out, and when the imperial guards arrived, he immediately retreated!" ”
Wei Qingqing listened to Xue Kite's words, and always felt that the assassin appeared a little too coincidentally and retreated too simply, as if he was not here to assassinate Emperor Wu at all, but to help her distract Emperor Wu, so as to help her escape from Yikun Palace!
This idea was too bold and scared Wei Qingqing herself!
If so, then who is pretending to be an assassin to help her?
Ming Ye?
Or Zhao Lingxi?
Could it be dust......
Wei Qingqing thought about all the people she knew who were strong in martial arts, but in the end she couldn't determine who it was.
At this time, Xue Kite said again: "I heard that in addition to the assassin who suddenly appeared last night, there was also a palace maid who broke into Yikun Palace and happened to be bumped into by the emperor, which made the emperor angry on the spot!" ”
"Ahh Wei Qingqing exclaimed very cooperatively, and after showing the reaction that he should have when he heard this for the first time, he continued to inquire about the news, "That...... What happened to the palace maid? But...... Dead? ”
"Let her escape, too!" Snow Kite was amazed as if she was talking about a strange thing, "I heard that the palace maid found out that Xiao Guifei loved to sing during her lifetime, and she had the audacity to wear the concubine's favorite costume and wait for the emperor in Yikun Palace!" ”
"Thanks to her dressing herself up as Hua Dan and smearing a thick amount of fat powder on her face, the emperor couldn't see her true face at that time, and she dared to take advantage of the chaos to escape later!"
