Chapter 6: Running Away (2)
Coming out of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Shen Qing deliberately pretended to be dizzy and uncomfortable, and asked the palace people to walk very slowly, so she took the opportunity to look around.
"Xiao Nai, are there usually so many people guarding this palace?"
"There have always been three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the palace, and if there is a banquet on festivals, the guards will be doubled."
Shen Qing pursed his mouth aggrievedly, and secretly complained in his heart, this water is impassable, and it is difficult to fly out of a fly. Suddenly, she thought of the uninvited guest of that day, Kyu-hyun, how skilled it must be to be able to come and go freely.
"Then when can I get out?"
When Xiao Nai heard this, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Princess, you forgot, you can't leave the palace without permission." Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Shen Qing asked anxiously.
"Unless it is an invitation from the prince outside the palace to set up a banquet, but this time, the emperor will not allow you to leave the palace."
Shen Qing closed his eyes in despair when he heard this, what kind of hope is this, unless he has wings, otherwise Lan Yuexuan will not be able to slip out.
Xiao Nai saw that the princess was full of sadness, and she didn't know how to comfort her, and after a few sighs, her head suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly: "If the princess wants anything to eat and play outside the palace, you can tell Aunt Chunqiu that she will go out of the palace in a few days to procure it for our Lanyue Xuan." ”
"Really?" As soon as Shen Qing heard this, the whole person seemed to be alive again.
"Of course it's true, princess, have you forgotten? At the beginning of each month, the heads of each palace will go out of the palace to buy. ”
"I haven't forgotten, how could I forget, isn't this a moment of confusion."
Shen Qingzheng excitedly thought about how Li Daitao went out of the palace in a hurry, and when he returned to Lanyue Xuan, he saw someone else's sedan chair parked at the door, seeing that the battle was much more magnificent than hers, and most of them were an uninvited guest.
"Ke'er is back, but let the palace wait." An Guifei lazily reclined on the chaise longue in the main hall, stroked the golden spike that was hanging down with one hand, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers. Looking at the ground again, Lan Yuexuan and all the big and small people knelt on the ground tremblingly.
"Who is this?" Shen Qing patted Xiao Nai, who was trembling on the side, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it's the concubine." Xiao Nai said and already knelt on the ground, "Guifei Niangniang, Wanfu." ”
"Where did I go, I was with the princess." Concubine An Guifei rolled her eyes in a weird manner, with a posture of wanting to cramp and peel Xiao Nai's skin, she gently turned the pigeon blood ring on her index finger, and commanded the two palace maids standing beside her. "Why don't you guys go and tie up that little slut to this palace."
"This is my territory, you are the one who dares to touch me." Shen Qing has such a violent temper, I heard that the previous father-in-law of Xiaolu was beaten by twenty boards because of her, and now he is still walking lamely, and today he came to kidnap Xiaonai, which is really too deceitful.
"The princess hasn't packed her luggage to the concubine yet, and now she is talking again, I'm afraid it's ......" The black-faced palace maid jumped out in a hurry, shouted with a red face and a thick neck, looking arrogant like a dog.
"I've only heard of beating dogs to see their owners, are you telling me to scold people and look at the dog's eyes?"
"You ......"
"What are you, if you don't kneel when you see this princess, can you be lawless just because you are a vicious dog? On your knees! Seeing that the palace maid was still standing there and continued to blow her beard and stare at her, Shen Qing raised her voice again and scolded sharply: "Do you want this princess to help you?" On your knees! ”
"Plop" The palace maid knelt on the ground very reluctantly, "Princess Wanfu", just as she wanted to climb up after speaking, Shen Qing dug into the past again, "Who told you to get up?" Continue to kneel. ”
"This palace is thinking about you, princess, this little has spread your unsightly things privately, and has smeared the royal family. As a concubine, this palace assists the queen in managing the harem, how can she sit idly by. Concubine An changed the light wind just now, and now she was sharpened by Shen Qing's anger, and picked up ugly words.
Xiao Nai was frightened when she heard this, and quickly turned her body to Shen Qing and begged: "Even if you give the slave and maid a hundred guts, it is impossible to do such a thing, please ask the princess to be clear." Shen Qing didn't care who passed on this, and he didn't believe that this timid girl in front of him dared to spread gossip. It is clear that the goods are made out of nothing, and they are deliberately causing trouble.
"It's not your turn to take care of my affairs, how to investigate and deal with it is my own business. It's not too early, please go back, concubine. Shen Qing pulled up the crying Xiao Nai, patted her back and comforted her as gently as possible: "Don't cry, I believe in you." Seeing the people kneeling all over the ground, she was angry again, "You all get up, and you have done nothing wrong, what to do while kneeling, here the princess has the final say." ”
"This person, I must take it away, the palace is reluctant to take care of your, but she smeared the royal family, and the palace can't sit idly by." An Guifei frowned, and said with phoenix eyes wide open, when did this stuffy jar be so presumptuous, she used to dare to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but today she blew her beard and stared at her. "Still stunned what to do, go up and tie me up."
Seeing this, Shen Qing hurriedly protected Xiao Nai's body, "You guys try it, you hurt me when you turn around, don't blame me for going to the Queen Mother." The two palace maids didn't dare to take the initiative to hand the pestle with their fathers, so they didn't dare to step forward, so they had to look back at the concubine. Concubine An Guifei glanced outside the courtyard, it was dark and she was so good at being a demon, and now she couldn't do it, and she was afraid that she Shen Qing would not sleep.
"That's it, the palace is lacking, the palace doesn't want to care about these now, go back to the palace." With that, she left without looking back, and no one could see the cunning that slipped across her face.
"Let's all go down and rest, and ignore her." Shen Qing went back to his dormitory angrily, and secretly cursed that Concubine An Guifei didn't know how ugly it was. Although the palace maid and eunuch of Lanyuexuan were surprised by the princess's abnormal counterattack, they were also relieved, but they couldn't help but worry about the princess and their own lives, everyone just hoped that the princess would marry out soon, and they would be free from the torture of Concubine An.
However, Concubine An's torture did not end here, and when she was a child, most of Lan Yuexuan, except for the father-in-law and palace maids who were on duty at night, went back to her own place. Xiao Nai waited for the princess to sleep, and was about to go back to her room, when suddenly two stout and hideous-looking mothers-in-law jumped out and stopped in front of her, and when she saw it closely, it was the person who was following Concubine An.
The two old women tied Xiao Nai with their hands and feet, and carried them out as if no one was around. The father-in-law on duty at night did not dare to disturb the princess, so he ran to find Spring and Autumn for help.
Xiao Nai was pulled to the dark room of the Hall of Ciming, and what was waiting for her was Concubine An's henchman, the tiger-backed bear-waisted and dark-skinned Lanzhu.
"Lanyue Xuan, so many people are looking for you, it's only because you have seen something you shouldn't have seen in your eyes." Lan Zhu said as she picked up a handful of Xuantie ring rulers and slapped them hard at Xiao Nai's face, dozens of times, Xiao Nai's little face was full of dirty blood. "You two prick me with a needle, wherever you want, the concubine has explained, you must take good care of it."
Xiao Nai's wail resounded throughout the Ciming Palace, but the sound insulation here is too good, and the moon is still bright and starry outside, and the cool breeze is blowing.
After the "special care", the two eunuchs came up again and routinely slapped twenty boards, Xiao Nai experienced the experience just now, the boards were wooden on his body, and he fainted after a few shouts.
After Chunqiu brought people to arrive, he only saw Xiao Nai, who was dying, lying in the corner, like a crumpled ball of straw paper.
