After Xu Yuan went out absentmindedly, Ruan Miaoling sat in the courtyard for half an hour, and when the green silk was dried, the mother-in-law selected from the house combed her hair, and then the maid put on makeup powder, and Wen'er just walked to the door.

Wen'er walked in, and when the mother-in-law and the maid saw her coming, they gave way to the side.

"The porter said that my uncle went out, and the young lady didn't mention to my uncle that I was going to enter the palace today?" The mother-in-law and maid were carefully selected by Xiangqiao a while ago, and they knew that they would keep their duties, so Wen'er did not avoid them.

After sorting out the details of her makeup in the mirror, Ruan Miaoling looked at the mirror and asked: "Xu is not working in the Hanlin Academy, he has been in a little bad recently, and he probably wants to find someone to help him find an errand to do when he goes out today." Just let him worry about his own business, besides, what danger can I be in entering the palace alone? ”

"That's hard to say." Wen'er put a copper wrench on her thumb and explained how to use it, "It's a tiger's den dragon pool, no matter how small the shrimp is, it can muddy the water for three points, Miss can't be careless!" ”

What can be done, Empress Zhang personally invited, even if she didn't want to go, she had to go.

As for what Empress Zhang was going to do when she summoned her into the palace and what she would ask, Ruan Miaoling thought about it all night, and she didn't have any ideas.

She didn't have much contact with Queen Zhang, and all she learned was that Queen Zhang's experience before she left the cabinet was not very good, and after marrying King Qi as a concubine, her life became happy.

"To be able to leap from a concubine to the mother of a country, it must not be a person with simple means."

asked Ruan Miaoling, who was still very worried about entering the palace alone, persuaded him again, but was forced back to the princess's mansion by Ruan Miaoling.

Rao is like this, Huang Liang, who is in charge of Ruan Miaoling's safety, still led Huang Ba and Qiu Daqian to escort her to the palace gate, and there was no intention of leaving.

Huang Liang glanced at the palace gate worriedly, and said, "Before the palace gate is locked, the three of us will stay here, if the young lady doesn't come out for a long time, we will have a way to deal with it." ”

Qiu Daqian also said: "When the time comes, please protect yourself, and wait for us to come to save you!" ”

At this time, in this place again, they said these not very good words, which made Ruan Miaoling feel a panic from the bottom of her heart.

However, she still tried to stabilize her fluctuating mood, and put on a slight smile to comfort the three of them. At this time, the yellow gate waiting in the palace gate couldn't wait any longer, and the wind under his feet came out and urged politely.

Following behind the Yellow Gate, Ruan Miaoling kept thinking, what would make Empress Zhang, who had just ascended to the phoenix seat, so anxious to see her?

What she didn't expect was that as soon as Empress Zhang saw her, she directly explained her purpose, and Ruan Miaoling also learned that Dongfang Liang disappeared in the small place of Jingshi.

"Recently, I always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the hospital has come to see it, and the medicine has been caught, but it has not worked, so I want to ask the doctor to take a look." Empress Zhang smiled embarrassedly, "As soon as I inquired, I learned that the divine doctor never came back after leaving the palace, and the palace had no way to ask you about the whereabouts of the divine doctor." ”

"The courtiers have never had much contact with the divine doctor, and the queen mother suddenly asked, and the courtiers were also confused."

Hearing the expected answer, Empress Zhang was not disappointed, and in a few words, she turned the topic to Ruan Miaoling's military life in the northwest, and it seemed that she did not mean to let her out of the palace for a while.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Qin Jie, who was submerged in a pile of official documents, didn't even bother to take a sip of the tea on the table.

In previous years, at the turn of spring and summer, the official documents of the guards of each prefecture would be sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the capital at the same time, waiting for the Metropolitan Governor Qin Hai to correct it. If these official documents involved the need to allocate military salaries, they had to be reported by the Metropolitan Governor and decided by the Emperor.

This year is different, though. At the beginning of spring, the weather was warm and cold and unstable, and Qin Hai, the governor of the capital, accidentally contracted the wind chill and has not yet recovered, so the official affairs in the governor's mansion were temporarily handed over to Qin Jie, who was the commander.

When Han 14 touched the door and came in, he probed the temperature of the teacup. It's all cold! Adults are extremely concerned about official business, how can they treat their bodies so casually, angry!

"The pestle is blocking the light in the doorway." Qin Jie's voice squeezed out of the cracks in the official documents piled up into a small mountain, and became hoarse because of the lack of moisture from tea, sounding more like exhaustion.

Han Fourteen was angry, but he didn't dare to say to Qin Jie, go out and let someone boil a pot of hot tea. moved to the side of the stacked official documents, only to see Qin Jie's face clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, Miss Ruan San has entered the palace." After Han Fourteen finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated to the table, only to hear the sound of the chair legs rubbing the ground, Qin Jie had already stood up, "Who let her enter the palace?" Didn't Xu Yuan follow? ”

Han Fourteen's heart trembled, my lord, I guessed that you would react like this.

"Xu Xiuzuo doesn't seem to be in the mansion, and Miss Ruan San doesn't seem to have mentioned to him about the queen's mother summoning her into the palace......" Han Fourteen saw that Qin Jieliang didn't speak for a long time, and proposed: "Do you want to go down and inform Xu Xiuzhuo?" ”

Qin Jie expected that Huang Liang, Huang Ba and Qiu Daqian, who were often around Ruan Miaoling, would definitely be waiting for her outside the palace gate at this time, and opened his mouth to stop Han Fourteen: "You go to the palace gate to keep an eye on it, if she hasn't come out before the palace gate closes, you can tell me again." ”

"Don't you need Xu Xiu to know?" Han Fourteen didn't give up and asked again.

Qin Jie glared at him dissatisfied, if he was on the fifth day of the first month, he would never ask such a stupid question. He grinded his teeth and said, "Do you want to die?" ”

Don't want to! Who would be afraid of a long life, Han Fourteen turned around and rushed out of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies without looking back.

"It's really troublesome...... Qin Jie sat back again, finished flipping through the two official documents, and looked up at the sky again, with uneasiness surging between his eyebrows.

He commanded at the air, "Is the eyeliner in the palace still there?" ”

"Back to the master, there is only one person left." I only heard his voice but didn't see him, "The master wants to investigate Empress Zhang this time?" ”

Qin Jie shook his head: "You don't need to check her, just concentrate on guarding the Qinzheng Palace." The palace cleanses the old people, it is not easy for you to leave one person, and you don't have to shake the overall situation for the sake of small things. ”

Thinking that Ruan Miaoling was isolated in the palace, Qin Jie no longer had the heart to correct the official documents, so he pulled up his official hat and walked out. The fifth day of the first month came in with a stack of official documents and almost bumped into him, "Master, the governor asked you to go back to the house." ”

Why at this time? Qin Jie had to stop and asked, "It's a very important matter?" ”

The words were brought by the steward of the Qin Mansion, and he happened to meet him at the door on the fifth day of the first month, and he brought a sentence by the way, and he didn't know the reason.

"I know, the official documents are all on the table, remember to lock the door before I come back, no one is allowed to enter."
