Chapter 156: Escape
As the sun grew westward, near the end of the evening, a palace maid came to the palace with a tea tray.
In the past, she also came to deliver food and drink, knowing that Qin Miaomiao would lie on the bed in the back room every day and ignore people, so it was not strange that she didn't see anyone in the front hall today.
Diameter entered the door and put the steamed buns and water on the table, and did not leave immediately, but cleaned up the leftover food for Qin Miaomiao from yesterday.
However, today's Qin Miaomiao did not lie on the bed in the inner room, but hid behind the door, and saw the palace maid bowing her head to clean up the table, walked behind her lightly, raised the wooden stick in her hand and smashed it at the back of the palace maid's neck.
The servant girl's body was weak, and she fell on the table, and she didn't even come to see who had knocked her unconscious.
The maidservant fainted, Qin Miaomiao dragged her to the back room and quickly switched the clothes of the two, and then hurriedly walked out of the door with a tray, she was afraid that staying in the house for too long would arouse the suspicion of the guards.
Hiding the medicine between her sleeves, she could only take a risk to raid the two guards, she had no chance to get close to the slow calculation, she had to be surprised, fortunately, this medicine only needed a little bit to control people's minds, otherwise Qin Miaomiao was really not sure.
Opened the door, took the tray in his hand, lowered his head and walked out of the door, as Qin Miaomiao expected, as soon as he took two steps, the guards behind him noticed her abnormality and scolded sharply: "You stop!" ”
Qin Miaomiao obediently stopped, still lowered her head, and did not turn around, she was waiting for the guards to come over and interrogate herself alone, otherwise she would not even have a chance to be drugged against two guards with strong martial arts at once.
The guard carried a knife, strode towards Qin Miaomiao, stopped a step behind her and said loudly: "You turn around!" ”
Qin Miaomiao held the drugged handkerchief tightly in her hand, got ready, slowly turned around, and at the moment of staring at the guard, she suddenly raised her cuffs, and a faint wisp of smoke drifted into the guard's nose.
Suddenly, the guard's body shook, his back straightened, he was affectionate and sluggish, and he looked straight at Qin Miaomiao.
Qin Miaomiao gently shook the copper bell hidden under her sleeve, and said to the guards: "Call your companion over and put this on the tip of his nose." ”
Qin Miaomiao handed the handkerchief coated with medicinal powder in her hand to the guard, and the guard Mu Na took it.
Because Qin Miaomiao was short in stature, he was tightly blocked by the guards, and the guards standing by the door saw that his companion had not moved for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Why did you ask for so long. ”
Saying that, before the guard in front of Qin Miaomiao could speak, he had already walked over to this side.
The bell under Qin Miaomiao's cuffs shook faster, and the moment the other guards approached, the guards who had been controlled by Qin Miaomiao quickly brushed the handkerchief through his front door.
After a while, the guard also stood still, without further ado, Qin Miaomiao carried the hem of her skirt and ran all the way when no one was around, relying on the approximate memory in her mind, all the way to the palace gate.
Before curfew, the guards at the palace gate will increase, and it is the most heavily guarded time of the day.
Qin Miaomiao came to the door and looked at several officials and ministers in official uniforms waiting at the door to be searched and interrogated.
Qin Miaomiao hid behind the wall pile from a distance and secretly observed.
frowned, and suddenly found that he seemed to have come to the wrong palace gate, why is there no maid and eunuch who wants to leave the palace here, and the high-ranking eunuchs can go out of the palace and open the palace, but now there is no one, the only possibility is that the eunuchs and maids in the palace cannot go out from the south gate.
Sensing that something was wrong, Qin Miaomiao quietly retreated, her heart beating like a drum all the way, seeing that it was getting late and late, there was really not much time left for herself, if she couldn't escape today, the emperor would have no chance to get out of the palace tomorrow after he knew that he had escaped.
Walking all the way, thinking all the way, I lowered my head and didn't pay attention to the road, and bumped into the oncoming person.
Leaned over in a panic and confessed his mistake: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Spare your life! ”
When she looked up at the person who came, Qin Miaomiao was stunned and couldn't say a word.
The moment they saw Qin Miaomiao, they were also quite surprised: "Why are you in the palace?" She is also wearing the clothes of a palace maid. ”
Qin Miaomiao came back to her senses, nervously tugged at the man's sleeve and whispered, "You be quiet, Master Chen, are you here like this?"
The collision with Qin Miaomiao was none other than Chen Yuanbo, who had not seen her for a long time.
Chen Yuanbo looked around vigilantly, learning from Qin Miaomiao's cautious appearance, and also lowered his voice: "What's wrong?" Are you in the palace as a slave?"
Qin Miaomiao waved her hand, her current situation cannot be explained clearly in a few words: "Lord Chen, do you know which door the people in the palace have to go through to leave the palace?"
After hesitating for a while, Chen Yuanbo asked rhetorically: "The north side door, but the palace maid is different from the eunuch." Palace maids are not allowed to enter and exit the palace at will, and if they want to leave the palace, they must have a warrant from the emperor or each palace lady to leave the palace. ”
Eunuchs can get out! It seemed that he still had to get a eunuch's clothes, and waved his hand at Chen Yuanbo: "Lord Chen, I still have to leave beforehand, if anyone asks, don't say that you have seen me!" ”
"Eh, Miss Qin, you want to leave the palace, maybe I can help you." Chen Yuanbo saw Qin Miaomiao's anxiety and panic, and guessed that she should be in a hurry to leave the palace at this moment.
Qin Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, looked at the sky, and shook her head decisively, the matter of her sneaking out will definitely be exposed soon, and the emperor will definitely find out about Chen Yuanbo at that time, so he can't let him help.
Qin Miaomiao ran to the north door without hesitation, checking the drug in her hand as she ran, she should be able to stun a person, she must find a eunuch's clothes as soon as possible.
While walking and looking, Qin Miaomiao's eyes glowed green at this time, like a wild beast hunting, searching for prey everywhere.
There was a green light in her eyes, and there was a little eunuch in front of her who was hurrying alone, and she couldn't hesitate anymore at the moment, so she immediately followed quickly.
This little eunuch is not very old, he is in his teens, and his body is very thin, Qin Miaomiao looked at it, and if he wanted to control and help him, it should not be difficult to drug him.
Qin Miaomiao poured the remaining medicinal powder into the palm of her hand, followed behind the little eunuch at a trot, saw a rockery that was quite remote, and immediately rushed behind the little eunuch in a few steps, grabbed the little eunuch's neck from behind, and covered the little eunuch's mouth and nose with a hand coated with medicinal powder, and soon the little eunuch stopped struggling and stood still.
didn't care about whether men and women were kissed or not, so he took off the little eunuch's clothes and put them on himself. After putting on the belt, I went all the way to the north door.
God finally helped Qin Miaomiao once, and happened to meet a big eunuch with a dozen little eunuchs out of the palace to run errands, and Qin Miaomiao took advantage of the unpreparedness to blend into the team.
The great eunuch seemed to have a high position, and he was arrogant and shouted at the guards guarding the door.
In order to let him leave quickly, the guards did not check and verify it carefully, but directly let a group of little eunuchs out, and Qin Miaomiao was mixed in.
It wasn't far to follow a group of little eunuchs out of the palace gate, Qin Miaomiao
Taking advantage of the fact that the big eunuch was not paying attention, he quietly left the army.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two steps, he remembered the shrill voice of the great eunuch, and asked her: "Eh, if you don't keep up with the team, what are you going to do!" Being shouted at by the big eunuch like this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Qin Miaomiao.
Then another voice in the team remembered: "Grandpa Chen, this person is not from our yard, we don't know him!" ”
Seeing that things were not good, Qin Miao didn't reply, so he ran away, and if he delayed any longer, he was afraid that he would be arrested.
As soon as she ran, a group of eunuchs immediately blew up, and the old eunuch pointed at the group of little eunuchs with an orchid and roared: "Catch this kid for me, he wants to sneak out of the palace"
His shout also alarmed the guards at the palace gate, and two royal forest guards immediately walked over to this side.
Qin Miao didn't look back, and ran forward desperately, with more than a dozen eunuchs and guards chasing her behind her.
Turning into an alley, I thought I couldn't escape, but a carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and Chen Yuanbo was leaning over to look at her.
When Qin Miaomiao saw the savior, there was wind under her feet, she took three steps and made two steps, ran to Chen Yuanbo's carriage, and without hesitation, she climbed into the carriage quickly, and kept urging: "Lord Chen, go quickly!" ”
Out of the wheel rolling, away from the dust. When the group of Tai chased after them, Qin Miaomiao had already disappeared.
Qin Miaomiao, who was sitting in the carriage, stroked her heart with her hand and gave herself a good breath.
Chen Yuanbo sat quietly on the side, not in a hurry to ask.
For a long time, Qin Miaomiao stabilized her mind, and her breath was even: "I really want to thank Lord Chen for saving his life today." ”
Chen Yuanbo looked at her and nodded: "I saw that you were in a hurry to get out of the palace, so I wanted to wait at the mouth of this alley, but I didn't expect to wait for you, how did you enter the palace?" Isn't the business done? ”
Qin Miaomiao thought about it for a while, but decided not to tell Chen Yuanbo the truth: "I offended people and was sold to the palace as a palace maid, I didn't want to die in the palace, so I escaped." Probably because of lying, Qin Miaomiao's eyes dodged, and finally she simply lowered her head and didn't touch Chen Yuanbo's gaze.
Of course, Chen Yuanbo immediately heard that Qin Miaomiao was lying, the selection of palace maids entering the palace was very strict, and even if the traffickers had the ability to reach the sky, they could not sell slaves into the palace. But he didn't pierce it, just sat on the sidelines and listened quietly.
The carriage stopped at Chen Yuanbo's mansion, Qin Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, but still stepped out of the carriage: "Thank you Lord Chen for coming to the rescue today, I am grateful, I have other things to deal with, so I will leave first." ”
Qin Miao Miaoshu didn't dare to stay too long, she was afraid of affecting Chen Yuanbo.
Chen Yuanbo stopped Qin Miaomiao's footsteps leaving: "Miss Qin, I'm afraid someone will hunt you down tonight, it's better for you to hide in my house first, and then leave when this limelight has passed, after all, I am an official in the court, and they will not come to my house to search casually." ”
