Chapter 67: The Princess Gets Married (32)
Anti-theft chapter, replaced later.
Although there were hundreds of eunuchs living in the prison courtyard, the courtyard looked less than half the size of Zhaoyue Palace.
Bai Lu was the first time he came back here.
Although the steward of the prison yard did not know her, it could be seen that her clothes and hair accessories were very exquisite, and she did not dare to slack off.
The steward said attentively, "I don't know what the girl commands?" ”
Bai Lu took out the waist card of the palace maid of Zhaoyue Palace, and said with a small face: "I came to the prison in the name of the princess to find someone, you can go and bring someone over." ”
"Zhaoyue Palace?!"
When the steward saw the gold-plated waist card, he felt that his whole mind had stopped.
Bai Lu withdrew his waist card and nodded reservedly: "Yes." ”
The steward was shocked by her voice, and said with some apprehension: "I wonder who Her Royal Highness the princess is looking for?" ”
Although he had never been to Zhaoyue Palace, he had also heard that it was the palace where the emperor's favorite princess lived.
Her Royal Highness the princess went down to the prison yard to look for someone?
If it weren't for the waist card as proof, he would have suspected that someone was deliberately manipulating him!
"His name is Little Zhanzi."
He had never heard His Highness mention this person before, and Bai Lu couldn't help but ask with some suspicion: "Is there such a person in the prison courtyard?" ”
When the steward heard the name, his face changed suddenly.
Bai Lu, as a first-class palace maid serving the princess, is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when he saw the steward's face suddenly change, his eyebrows frowned slightly: "What?" Is there no such person? ”
"Yes, yes......" The steward thought she was angry, and said busily: "There is this person, but his current situation is a little special, I'm afraid it is not very convenient to meet Her Royal Highness the princess......"
"What's wrong with him?"
Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good to have this person, otherwise she wouldn't know how to deal with His Highness.
The steward muttered, "He committed suicide......"
"Dead?" Bai Lu's eyebrows, which had just let go, furrowed again.
"I didn't ...... No, it's just that the injury is quite serious, I'm just afraid of ......" He didn't say the latter words, but the meaning was already obvious.
Bai Lu immediately said, "Take me to see." ”
"This ......" the steward's face was embarrassed, after all, this matter also involved some of his own selfishness, if it was......
"Take me there!"
Seeing that he didn't cooperate, Bai Lu suddenly made a small face: "If you delay Your Highness's affairs, you will not be able to eat and go around!" ”
Bai Lu, as a first-class palace maid in Zhaoyue Palace, although she is still a slave in the eyes of her master, she can be regarded as half a master in front of these people who are at the bottom of the palace.
When the steward saw that she was angry, he was anxious and afraid, and finally had to respond.
-
In a small darkroom in the prison yard.
Although the sun was shining outside, the inside of the house was dim as if night had fallen.
There was a foul smell in the air, and I smelled it even at the door.
Bai Lu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowned and looked at the steward next to her, "People live here?" ”
“…… Yes. The steward nodded.
"Open the door."
The steward did as he was told.
When the door opened, an even stronger stench hit her face, and Bai Lu was almost fainted.
In the dark room, there was a small bed.
It's a bed, but it's just a plank on two stools.
There were no quilts and no mattresses.
A weak figure lay lifeless on it, and could only tell from the slight rise and fall of his chest that he was still alive.
