"Are you looking for the old palace people from the former Wei Dynasty? How old do you want to be? Qiu Baoniang asked in surprise, "The qualifications in the palace are compared to whom, that is, they have been in the palace for a year, and those who have only entered are considered old men." ”

Wei Changying muttered, "The older you get, the better...... It's best to go to the palace to serve my own aunt when she was still alive, and she had a bit of an identity at that time. ”

"Your own aunt?" Qiu Baoniang thought for a moment and said, "Oh, you mean Mrs. Sikong in the former dynasty?" She's been dead for about 20 years, right? When she was alive, she would be a palace person with a bit of identity - you know that the palace is about seniority, and the palace people of that generation are still there, and they are too old to serve in the palace. It's not easy to find. ”

"You've got points, right? In the past, how could there not be many old people in the East Palace? Wei Changying turned the bracelet on his wrist and said.

Qiu Baoniang said: "It's been a long time, where do you remember?" If those people were still around, even if I didn't look the same as before, I would probably be recognized, wouldn't I? ”

After a moment of silence, she said, "But if you really want to find someone to inquire about something, there is a good chance that one person will know." ”

Wei Changying hurriedly asked, "Who?!" ”

"Qingxin...... It should be said that the handmaiden of Miss Shenbao under the Ministry of Education is Hu. Qiu Baoniang said lightly, "That is, the Hu palace maid in the former Furui Palace." ”

Wei Changying thought about it for a moment - she hadn't actually seen this Hu palace maid, but she had heard that at the age of thirty, when Wei Chanying passed away, she should have been about ten years old. The palace maids are generally twelve or thirteen years old, and she doesn't know if she has entered the palace at that time?

"You can't look at her age, you have to look at where she comes from." Qiu Baoniang reminded, "She is the person left by Emperor Wei Ai to his daughter after the deposed Gu family!" You still don't know the means of abolishing the Gu family? How many secrets in this palace can be hidden from her? Even if it is a secret that has nothing to do with her, according to her personality, she will definitely find a way to figure it out for later use! After she lost power, she was so focused on thinking about her children, how could she not explain these things, in case her children could live through this? ”

He also said, "When Shenbao was demoted to the teaching workshop, this Hu palace maid was originally valued by the harem concubines for her neat and capable, and she wanted her to continue to serve the concubines, which was also decent." As a result, she invited herself to enter the teaching workshop with Shen Bao, and would rather fall into the lowly ranks, which shows that she is a confidant left by the Gu family, otherwise how could she be so loyal to Shen Bao? Therefore, if you want to explore the secrets of the former Wei Palace, in my opinion, it is better to find those old palace people than to find this Hu family! ”

Wei Changying pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

"It's a trifle." Qiu Baoniang shook her head and said lightly, "You are very good to Jing'er and Shu Ming, I always have to accept your love for Seventh Sister She." And I can go to Queen Qiu and have your help, and now I should remind you. ”

After thinking about it, Qiu Baoniang said again, "If you are looking for the Hu family, you better be careful." Although His Majesty is now away on the expedition, he will not summon Shen Bao in private, but you also know Shen Bao's beauty - His Majesty is still interested in her, and he is worried that she will be murdered by the concubine when he goes on the expedition, so she is nominally in the teaching workshop, but in fact her residence is very remote. I can tell you about the place, but the guards are all His Majesty's henchmen, so I can't help you. ”

Wei Changying asked casually: "That place, Your Majesty actually entrusted it to Empress Qiu?" ”

"Not really, I found it out when I was thinking about the queen." Qiu Baoniang smiled lightly and said, "I was about to quietly reveal it to Shan Guifei and them to see if anyone was going to do this...... So that Queen Qiu can get a chance to be in the back. Now that you are going to find her, I will press this matter first. ”

"If you need help in the affairs of Zhuangzi outside the city, just say it." Wei Changying nodded-Qiu Baoniang never asked her what to do with the former Wei Lao Palace, and she didn't want to ask Qiu Baoniang more about her plans in the palace, so she just said, "That one also has a holiday with me, even if the situation has changed now, many things are downplayed, and it is not without reason to do it." ”

Qiu Baoniang smiled: "I don't even want my life for this matter, why don't I say anything if I need to ask you for help?" ”

looked at the sky, "I have to go, now the queen rarely lets me go, and I have been thinking about a way for a long time to come out today." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Wei Changying handed over the silver ticket, and seeing that Qiu Baoniang didn't want to accept it, she explained, "Since you are on the side of Queen Qiu, and the queen's family has no background, you can rely on the little money in the middle palace compared to Shan Guifei and others who have the support of the Duanmu family...... It's nothing to me. ”

Qiu Baoniang listened, muttered for a moment, and finally took it.

After finding Shen Bao's current place of residence according to the address given by Qiu Baoniang, trouble came - he sent people to watch him for five days in a row, but he didn't see Hu go out. Because of Shenbao's special identity, no one is allowed to enter the courtyard at all - this problem was finally solved by Duanmu Xinmiao, she first put medicine in the ingredients sent in, and waited for a few doctors over there to solve it, worried that something happened to Shenbao, and she couldn't explain to Wen Yanzi, so she had to ask Duanmu Xinmiao.

And Duanmu Xinmiao took this opportunity to make an appointment with the Hu family on behalf of the chief guard.

"Mrs. Wei?" Walking into the deep alley that was clearly a temporary room, Hu Shi was slightly stunned and blurted out.

Wei Changying was a little surprised: "You know me?" "It is said that she has not met with this Hu family, and Duanmu Xinmiao did not tell Hu Shi in advance who she will meet when she comes to this house...... How could this Hu know? Wei Changying's heart moved.

Sure enough, a bitter smile appeared on Hu's lips: "In the former Wei Dynasty, when you entered the palace, the maid swept the palace road, and I saw you a few times when the wind blew the curtain - you have a noble status and a national appearance, and the maid remembers it very firmly." ”

Wei Chang Ying bowed his head and didn't talk nonsense: "I asked Xin Miao to ask you to come here because I wanted to inquire about something with you." After a pause, she said, "Of course I won't ask in vain, you can get whatever you want within your ability." ”

Hu Shi pursed his lips and said, "You say! ”

"I want to know about my aunt and uncle." Wei Changying said, "Former Wei Sikong and Mrs. Sikong - you shouldn't know it, right?" ”

"Song Sikong and Mrs. Wei?" Hu Shi was stunned, and then, her face became complicated!

After a while, Hu Shi seemed to tremble for a moment before he said, "Originally, the maid thought that what Mrs. Wei wanted to ask was those things that had passed the time, and many of the secrets of the deep palace in the past didn't matter now. But if Mrs. Wei wants to ask about this matter, she can't prevaricate the servant as much as she can. ”

"What do you want?" Wei Changying frowned and asked.

Hu Shi didn't think about it: "Of course it's a public ...... Miss, she can get out of the sea of suffering! ”

"I can't do that." Wei Changying said calmly, "Not to mention that your master was personally degraded to the sect by His Majesty, just say that His Majesty is still staring at her now, how can she be released?!" ”

“…… Miss Duanmu Ba's medical skills are so good, can't she do tricks? Let Miss fake her death and escape, or...... There's always another way, right? Hu's eyes darkened, and then he asked without giving up.

Wei Changying shook his head and said, "You take it for granted, how can it be so easy to fake your death and escape from the world?" Xin Miao's master and apprentice's medical skills are known to the world, will no one pay attention to their every move? Once leaked, isn't it a trivial matter?! Besides, the matter I asked you about today is my private matter, and I will not even take it from the Shen family, but will only take it from my own dowry. How could it be possible to drag Xin Miao into the water for this matter? She's just asking me out about you. I don't want to bother her about anything else, and I won't tell her anything I ask you about. ”

Hu Shi was silent for a while, and said faintly: "That servant is too much of a loss!" She raised her eyes to look at Wei Changying, "Because what you want to hear is more than just a secret!" ”

Wei Changying frowned: "What? ”

"It's also the slave's life!" Hu Shi said word for word, "The servant told you this, you will definitely kill the servant!" Now my young lady is only accompanied by the maid and has not gone crazy - the maid gave her life to you, what should she do? If you can't agree to your servant's request, then your servant will be left to your disposal without saying a word! ”

"Silence?!" Wei Changying's face was calm, but a chill gradually penetrated her heart, she thought for a moment, and said, "You keep this secret until now, it can be seen that it is useless to change the situation of your master." Now that I have found you, if you don't tell you, it will be an enemy of my lord for your master. If you tell me, even if I can't save your master from the sea of suffering, I will always help when I can help in the future. ”

Hu shook his head and said, "What you said is too vain. ”

"Actually, you haven't said anything now, just say that I want to kill your mouth, is this too vain?" Wei Changying groaned, "How do I know if you are deliberately blocking me and forcing me to make a promise?" I haven't even told you what I'm asking about my aunt and uncle! ”

Hu Shi smiled and said: "You have found the servant here, and if you want to cheat the servant like this, won't you surrender your identity?" There are indeed a lot of things between Song Sikong and Mrs. Sikong, but if you come here and ask...... If you still ask the servant, there must be only one thing. ”

She said slowly, "The maid will give you a word, don't say that the maid will be blinded to you - the thing you want to ask must be with Song Sikong in the past, he had to force the eldest lady of the Song family to be the crown princess, even if the old lady of the Song family, your mother Mrs. Song, these many people intercede together, Song Sikong refuses to change his words, right?" ”

Wei Changying pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time, under his sleeves, his hand grabbed the fabric - when he spoke again, he couldn't suppress the slight tremor in his tone: "You...... Say? ”

"The love between Song Sikong and Mrs. Sikong, in the last years of the previous dynasty, the government and the opposition did not know it." Hu Shi said lightly, "The so-called love house and Wu, the two sons under Song Sikong's knees are also favored by Sikong. As the only concubine, Miss Song, not only returned to Jiangnan to live in Jiangnan after the death of Mrs. Sikong, but also almost never raised alone under Sikong's knees, but also very unreasonable understanding and pity in life...... Even if the Song family can't repent of marrying, Song Sikong has always been able to comfort Miss Song - don't you think that the difference between Song Sikong's treatment of this child at that time was like a world of world, it was like a ...... Miss Song is not the daughter of Song Sikong at all?! ”

Although there had been a faint speculation in his heart for a long time, when Hu Shi really said it, Wei Changying still felt that it was a bolt from the blue!

She couldn't distinguish things for a long time, but she came back to her senses, stood up, pointed at Hu Shi and said, "You explain it to me clearly!" Otherwise, I can't save Shenbao, but I can make her survive and not die! Believe it or not?! ”
