The elbow accidentally touched the candlestick when he moved, and the flame stretched up along the golden curtain, Sikong Jiu wanted to extinguish the flame, but the fire was still very small, but he paused, glanced at the flame, and quietly withdrew from the Shengqing Palace.

Then he ran along the way he had come to the desolate palace, where he knew there was a place where he could lead directly to the palace, and that palace was the back door to the entrance.

He wasn't too familiar with the route of the palace, he still relied on the map, and he encountered Jingwu who ran away in a hurry when he got lost, but he didn't expect her to have amazing ears, and he found someone so quickly, so he had to be a bandit.

Grove outside the palace

"Blackie, we've finally come out." Sikong Jiu stretched out his arm and quickly took off the black clothes on his body that he spit on, it was so ugly that he couldn't bear to look at it directly, so that he had to wear a mask to show people.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Hei also took off his black clothes, spit out a breath of turbidity, and touched it, and his back was wet with sweat.

Sikong Jiu dug out the burden buried in the haystack, took out his clothes from the burden, and threw the burden to Xiao Hei, who hadn't finished taking it off, and immediately caught the burden in a hurry when he saw this, but he didn't stand firm and almost fell.

Sikong Jiu: "......"

"Master, can you tell me next time and throw it again." Little Black looked up in embarrassment.

"I can't." Sikong Jiu hid behind a tree and said as he walked through it and showed his head.

Xiao Hei had a tearless expression on his face, and after Sikong Jiu put it on, Xiao Hei hadn't started to wear it, Sikong Jiu picked up the silver mask lying next to the black clothes, curled his index finger and "belled" a few times, patted off the dust on it, and after thinking about it, he still put him in his arms, this mask is still very commemorative for him.

"Blackie, let's go." Sikong Jiu habitually wanted to touch the jade pendant on his body, but when he touched it, he touched it elsewhere, but there was nothing, he returned to the black clothes, picked it up, and still didn't.

Sikong Jiu knelt on the ground, rubbing his fingers gently, thinking in his mind where did that piece of jade fall? Half-closed eyes, scenes of words flashed, finally, Sikong Jiu thought of it, showing a gentle smile, not in the Shengqing Palace, if it is really in the Shengqing Palace, then his piece of jade Jue will be gone, and he doesn't care about other things, but that piece of jade Jue has been with him since he was a child, and it is the most important thing for him.

Finally, Sikong Jiu thought that in that palace, he was covering the woman's mouth at that time, and she must have removed his jade jue under her struggle.

Damn, Sikong Jiu touched his hair irritably.

"Xiao Hei, go back again, you wait here." After saying this, he didn't give Xiao Hei time to react, and disappeared.

"Grandpai......" Xiao Hei was wearing pants, and wanted to chase after him when he heard this, but before he could take a step, his pants knocked his body down, and Xiao Hei raised his head in embarrassment, with a leaf on his head, and his hair was messy, not to mention how funny it was.

Over there, Sikong Jiu entered the cave at the speed of changing shapes, and finally arrived at the palace, he stood in place, did not look at the ground, first glanced around, and shook his head in disappointment.

Sikong Jiu slapped his head violently, why was he so stupid, and what was he thinking.

Retracting his thoughts, Sikong Jiu set his eyes on the open space where he had stayed, but the open space was full of weeds, helpless, he had to pull the weeds with his hands, he regretted it, regretted forgetting to bring Xiao Hei, otherwise it would have been up to him.

No.

Neither here.

Sikong Jiu frowned, how could it not be, could it be that woman?

Sikong Jiu didn't know why he was so happy when he remembered that woman was holding his jade jue, and at this time he didn't even notice how obvious the smile was on his face.

……

basilica

The dark curtain gradually fell, the hall was still brightly lit, and the people in the hall were guarding the spirit of Emperor Shengjia, Jingwu did not alarm others when she came back, she was relieved to see this, because she was the queen, so she should naturally kneel down in front of her to keep the spirit, sometimes she wished that she was a concubine, so she didn't have to attract attention.

"Niangniang, take a break, let's go to dinner." Ying Sleeve came in from outside at this time, and happened to meet Jing Wu, afraid that Jing Wu would not understand the meal time in the palace, so he talked to her.

Jing Wu raised his head and saw that it was Ying Sleeve, seeing that it was indeed late, so he didn't refuse, nodded, and led the way to the dining place by Ying Sleeve.

The food in the palace is not delicious, after all, now that Emperor Shengjia has died, there are taboos in many places in the palace, and there are many things that are not allowed in the dishes.

Jing Wu casually ate a little and put down the jade chopstick, looked at the completely dark sky, and was a little worried, now the Yingzhu has not returned, the palace change has not ended, and today it is only temporarily stopped because of the fire in the Shengqing Palace.

"Yingsleeve, where's Su Ling?" Jingwu brought Su Ling with him, thinking that she had been following her all along, but now she was gone.

Yingsleeve handed over the handkerchief, Jingwu took it and wiped it to her, Yingsleeve thought for a while and said, "Niangniang, Su Ling should be in the ......"

"Yes." Ying Sleeves was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Su Ling was originally arranged in the Jiaofang Palace, and then asked her to come to the main hall, but now it is evening, so where is she now?

"What's wrong?" Jing Wu looked up and saw the panicked Ying Sleeve and asked.

Yingsleeve touched the sleeve of his shirt, and said reservedly: "Niangniang, Su Ling, she ......."

"Su Ling, what's wrong with her?"

"She probably ...... Lost. Yingsleeve lowered her head and blamed herself, she should have been in charge of Su Ling, but now......

Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, now the palace is not safe, and I don't know where Su Ling went, and her character is still so timid, I don't know if there will be any problems.

"Talk to Lin Cheng, and say that the palace has something to tell him." Jing Wu thought about it and it was better to call Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng had a very high status in the palace, and it was most appropriate for him to find someone in the palace.

Yingsleeve was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Niangniang to tell Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng is the chief eunuch, more majestic than their female officials, Yingsleeve has been in the palace for many years, but she quickly reacted and said: "Yes." ”

Ying Sleeve told Lin Cheng about this, and when Lin Cheng heard it, although finding a maid was a trivial matter, it was the first thing the queen told him, and he must do it well.

"Someone, gather the palace guards to secretly look for ......" Lin Cheng couldn't remember his name, so he had to look at Yingsleeve.

Yingsleeve said: "Su Ling." ”

Lin Cheng immediately reacted and said, "Yes, Miss Su Ling." ”

After Lin Cheng gave the order, he said to Ying Sleeve with a pleasant face: "You are called Ying Sleeve, right?" ”

The first time Ying Sleeve saw the chief manager Lin who followed Emperor Shengjia to order hundreds of eunuchs in the palace on weekdays, she was still very apprehensive, but she didn't expect him to talk to her so kindly, Ying Sleeve nodded busily.

"Yingsleeves, did the mother say anything?" Lin Cheng had a white face and no beard, looking like a cunning and shrewd fox, with a gleam in his eyes and a slight smile.

Ying Sleeve first gasped, her nervous palms were sweaty, her face was red, and she opened her mouth and said, "Niangniang said to let Manager Lin go to Jiaofang Hall to see her." ”

"Oh......" Lin Cheng squinted and nodded, his hands folded on his abdomen.

"That'...... Manager Lin, the slave and maid retreated first. Yingsleeve was still nervous, and his eyes kept dodging.

"Let's go down." Lin Cheng waved his hand.

Yingsleeve immediately turned her head and patted her face nervously, Manager Lin was so kind to her, not at all like the majestic appearance on weekdays, so happy.

"Hey......"

Lin Cheng stretched out his hand to stop Yingsleeve, who had just walked a short distance, Yingsleeve's body stiffened, and he turned his head in a daze.

However, Lin Cheng didn't say anything, just said: "Help our family bring a message to Niangniang, and our family will be there in a while." ”

Yingsleeve nodded quickly, clenched his fist, and walked out of the place quickly.

……

When Su Ling found it, it was almost an hour later, it turned out that Su Ling had been staying under an arch bridge for a long time, if it wasn't for someone passing by, they wouldn't have found it, Jingwu was very curious, how could Su Ling be under that arch bridge.

Su Ling rubbed her cold body with both hands, Jing Wu sighed when she saw it, and immediately ordered someone to fetch water for her, and after bathing, Su Ling obviously eased up.

"Master, Sister Yingsleeve asked the slave maid to arrange the Jiaofang Palace, but after the arrangement, the slave maid didn't know the middle of the palace, and asked several people, they all said differently, the slave and maid accidentally fell under the arch bridge, fortunately, the water is shallow, so you can wait for the master to find someone to come." Su Ling remembered that the scene of not being able to find the way was a kind of grievance in his heart, and he wanted to shoot himself to death in annoyance.

After listening to Yingsleeve's words, Jing Wu's expression turned cold, it turned out that some people were rejecting themselves now, and they obviously looked down on themselves for the maids they brought from home.

However, the palace is full of people who step on the high and praise the low, and after the new emperor takes the throne, it is not certain whether he can be the queen safely, which is what Jingwu is most worried about now.

"Su Ling, you stand down and rest, don't think too much, you can follow Ying sleeves in the future." Jing Wu saw that Su Ling looked much better than usual, and he could say so much, so he was very relieved.

As for the Jing Ji family in the general's mansion, she saw that she would let them go when they were safe and sound on weekdays, if something happened, then she believed that even if her father couldn't handle it, her mother would handle it properly.

On March 9, three days have passed since the death of Emperor Shengjia, and today is the day of burial, but the new emperor has not yet been chosen, and the eldest prince and the second prince are facing each other, and no one will give in.

"Today is the day of my father's burial, I don't want to fight with you, you'd better not provoke me." Jun Yu slanted his eyes and looked at the eldest prince as if he were warning.

The eldest prince Junyi was dressed in black today, and he didn't wear the jujube red he liked before, and he had a white stripe tied on his arm and head, and he shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and smiled indifferently.

Jun Yu glared at the eldest prince angrily, snorted coldly, and walked past him, the eldest prince kept smiling, and his smile slowly turned into ridicule and then slowly cooled down.
