Bai Zhu listened to what Ling Yuxin said, and recalled the previous experience of fighting with the black-clothed masked man, and couldn't help but become more and more worried. When she came back to her senses and looked at Ling Yuxin again, she saw that she had already arrived at the sand table sent by Xiao Yurui and seriously fiddled with those clay figurines, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Miss, why did you run to fiddle with clay figurines again?" You...... Figured it out? Not worried? ”

Ling Yuxin glanced up at Bai Zhu and replied indifferently: "I haven't figured it out yet, of course I'm worried, but I can't figure it out for a while, and it's useless to worry about it, so why waste time!" It's better to do what you have to do. ”

Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but think to himself: What kind of woman is this? is obviously a daughter, but she has neither the squeamishness of everyone's ladies, nor the shelf of the children of official eunuchs, and even sometimes she is unusually down-to-earth; Obviously smart and wise, but he seems to be ignorant of the world; is obviously delicate and clear, but often can't understand the sinister hearts of people; Obviously there are a lot of fears and helplessness in my heart, I don't know how many things are hidden, but I often behave optimistically, strongly, and calmly, which seems to be somewhat similar to Childe, no matter how big the problem, how dangerous the situation, Childe can always deal with it calmly, and his face is always so calm and light. As soon as he thought of this, Bai Zhu immediately realized that he was distracted, and secretly scolded himself for being ridiculous, and then couldn't help but laugh at himself, and then immediately gathered his thoughts, and hurriedly walked to Ling Yuxin's side in a few steps, standing quietly to the side, no longer bothering her.

In Xiangren Palace, Gui Dahai hurriedly reported: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the servants inquired clearly, and it was indeed the city gate that lit smoke to warn, the reason was that a group of black-clothed masked people suddenly chased and killed a few people from the city until they reached the city gate, and then fought with the soldiers defending the city, killing and injuring many soldiers defending the city, so the general defending the city ordered the smoke to warn for help, and then the hussar battalion and the iron guard battalion rushed to support, but it is said that although the black-clothed masked man had a few injuries, they all escaped under the noses of the two battalions of the Royal Forest Army, The Guards didn't catch any of them alive. ”

Empress Dowager Wei frowned slightly, "The masked man in black? ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, it is said that all of them are covered from head to toe in black clothes and black cloths, except for a pair of eyes that are exposed, the rest are black." Gui Dahai nodded.

"How many masked men are there in black? Who is it that is being hunted down? Empress Dowager Wei asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it is said that there are a lot of black-clothed masked people, at least a dozen, as for the people who are chasing and killing, the confessions of several soldiers guarding the city and the people at the scene are different, some say that it is a man and a woman, some say that it is three men and two women, some say that it is a pair of master and servant, and some say that the domestic servant is a woman disguised as a man, and it is a pair of little lovers who eloped."

"What a mess. Who has found it? And what's going on with those black-clad masked men? Since no one was caught, did the Imperial Guards continue to track down and arrest them? Do you know where people have gone? Is it out of the capital or is it still in the capital? Empress Dowager Wei was slightly angry.

Gui Dahai hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, it is said that the Imperial Forest Army is also looking for those two...... Or a few people who were chased and killed by the black-clothed masked people, but for the time being, no clues have been found, as for those black-clothed masked people, it is said that they suddenly scattered and evacuated when they fought with the two battalions of the Royal Forest Army, and the Royal Forest Army is also searching for their whereabouts at the same time, according to the soldiers defending the city, when the hussar battalion rushed to the city gate to support, the chased people and the black-clothed masked people all ran to the city, and then the hussar battalion also chased up, and it stands to reason that the people should still be in the capital. ”

"Ridiculous," Empress Dowager Wei took a few shots, "At the feet of the dignified son of heaven, such a thing would happen." ”

Mama Jin hurriedly persuaded: "The Queen Mother is angry, don't be angry." ”

Empress Dowager Wei dissipated her anger and glanced at Gui Dahai who was kneeling on the ground, "You get up and speak." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Only then did Gui Dahai dare to get up.

Empress Dowager Wei then asked again: "Does the emperor know about this?" What instructions did he have? ”

Gui Dahai hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the little eunuch who was placed in the emperor's bedroom by the old slave came to report, saying that not long ago, he saw Li Qingshan and Xia Huaizhong each driving a carriage at the door of the palace at the same time, and then Zhao De suddenly drove all the palace people out of the palace, the little eunuch was quite smart, secretly hiding not far away, and it didn't take long to see Xiao Fushun hurriedly leave the palace, and then hurriedly entered the palace with Imperial Doctor Zhang, and after a long time, Xiao Fushun sent Imperial Doctor Zhang back to the Imperial Hospital. ”

"What?" Empress Dowager Wei was surprised, and after thinking for a while, she instructed Gui Dahai: "Let the little eunuch in the emperor's bedroom be clever and find a way to figure out if there is any name in the carriage that Li Qingshan and Xia Huaizhong drove into the palace?" And is the person who went to the emperor's bedroom to be treated by Imperial Doctor Zhang the emperor? If it is true that the emperor is in poor health, what is the disease? When you figure it out, report it in time. After a pause, he said: "In addition, you personally go to the Wei Mansion and tell Prime Minister Wei everything you know, especially what happened in the palace, and ask him again by the way, but you know what is going on." ”

"Yes, the minion will do it." Gui Dahai hurriedly withdrew from the outside of the hall.

Empress Dowager Wei frowned again and pondered.

In the Luoyan Palace, Concubine Cao Ruoqing's close maid Caixia was reporting to Cao Ruoqing about the series of events that had just happened outside the palace and the fact that Imperial Doctor Zhang was quietly brought into the emperor's bedroom by Xiao Fushun.

As soon as Caixia finished speaking, the voice of Concubine Xiao Zhen'er came from outside the door, "Oh, sister, haven't you heard, something big happened outside today." ”

Cao Ruoqing's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was quite disgusted by Xiao Zhen'er breaking in on her own without waiting for the word to be passed on again, but the moment Xiao Zhen'er stepped into the door, she immediately stretched her brows, showed a delicate smile, and got up to greet her.

Although Xiao Zhen'er often meets Cao Ruoqing and is already very familiar with her impeccable and delicate smile, every time she meets Cao Ruoqing and sees her beautiful face and flawless smile, she can't help but feel all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in her heart. But Xiao Zhen'er can hide her emotions every time, and still holds her arm affectionately again and again, calling her "sister" sweetly.

"My sister is here, what did my sister say just now that something is wrong, what is going on?" Cao Ruoqing pretended to know nothing.

"Oh, sister, you really don't hear anything outside the window, it's such a big thing, you don't even know it." After a pause, he immediately said solemnly, "My sister just got the news, it is said that the gates of the capital have been lit with smoke to warn, this is the capital!" The gate of the capital is lit to warn you, think about it, what a big deal this must be! It is said that a large group of masked black-clothed men not only killed people in the street, but also fought with the soldiers defending the city and the Imperial Forest Army, I heard that the first to arrive was the hussar battalion led by Wei Wenjie, but Wei Wenjie's hussar battalion was not a match at all, not only was killed by the group of black-clothed masked people, but also let the whole family retreat, not even a single one was caught. Xiao Zhen'er sat down with Cao Ruoqing's arm in her arms, and continued to say, "Now there is a lot of uproar in the capital, and people are panicking, there are rumors that these black-clothed masked people have been hidden in all corners of the capital, waiting for the opportunity to attack the palace, saying that someone is going to rebel, sister, do you think it will be true?" Who could have instructed those black-clad masked men? ”

Cao Ruoqing pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing? Where did my sister hear about it? Aren't you here to scare your sister? It's a joke! ”

Xiao Zhen'er pretended to be displeased and said seriously: "Of course it's true, such a big thing, how dare my sister joke casually, and I don't dare to borrow my sister's guts, this palace has already spread all over the palace, and sister, you don't hear anything outside the window, and you don't know anything, if your sister doesn't believe it, just let the people inquire about it." ”

Cao Ruoqing immediately smiled and said: "I believe it, I believe it, how can I not believe what my sister said, it's just that it's a big matter, I couldn't believe it just now." ”

Xiao Zhen'er echoed with a smile again: "Don't talk about sister, I was too scared to believe it when I first heard about it, and then I confirmed it several times, so I hurriedly came over to inform my sister." By the way, sister, what do you think about this, do you think someone really wants to rebel? If so, who could it be? ”

Cao Ruoqing hurriedly said: "Sister, you can't talk nonsense, since there is such a big incident, the emperor must also know, he will deal with it, this is not what we should manage, nor can we manage it." ”

"Oh, sister, you don't know," Xiao Zhen'er suddenly approached Cao Ruoqing's ear, lowered her voice and said: "I heard that the emperor is also very abnormal today, and after the morning dynasty, he did not go to the imperial study to review the chapter as usual, but went back to the palace directly, and then when it was close to noon, Zhao De also sent all the palace people away, and it didn't take long for Xiao Fushun to quietly take Imperial Doctor Zhang into the palace, and it took a long time for Imperial Doctor Zhang to come out of the palace, by the way, some people saw that Li Qingshan and Xia Huaizhong had each driven a carriage directly into the palace." ”

Cao Ruoqing made a surprised expression again, "Really? Is there such a thing? How could the carriage go directly into the emperor's bedroom? Who or what was in the carriage? ”

Xiao Zhen'er shook her head, "This sister doesn't know, it is said that all the minions in the dormitory were driven out at that time, and only Zhao De was left." ”

Cao Ruoqing deliberately frowned and asked, "Then why did Xiao Fushun take Imperial Doctor Zhang to the emperor's bedroom?" Could it be that the emperor is unwell? ”

Xiao Zhen'er pouted: "I thought so too, so I hurried to find my sister and wanted to visit the emperor with my sister." ”

Cao Ruoqing secretly scolded Xiao Zhen'er for being insidious in her heart, but she still smiled on her face and said: "My sister is really hearted, thank you sister for coming to inform me, but it's really unfortunate, my sister and I are also a little unwell today, I really don't want to go to see the emperor with a sick face, and since there is such a big thing outside, presumably the emperor should be working hard to deal with this matter at this time, let's not disturb the emperor and make trouble for the emperor, so as not to delay the emperor's serious business." ”
