Chapter 738: Searching Everywhere and Not Seeing
At the door of the Frost Dew Pavilion, there are indeed a few guards guarding them, but from the perspective of the uniform, they are not the low-grade imperial guards used when the palace is closed, but a few imperial guards with knives who follow the emperor on weekdays.
In addition to the six guards with swords in front of the palace guarding the door, on the threshold of the Frost Dew Pavilion, a eunuch sat against the door frame. Under the light of the lanterns hanging on the cornices, you can also take a look at the eunuch's uniform and face, and it turned out to be - Xiaofuzi!
So...... Tonight, Your Majesty is staying in the Frost Dew Pavilion!
Rong Yunxi felt that his heart sank, and the bitterness had already spread to his mouth.
This is not a safe place, Rong Yunxi pulled the early summer and quietly walked back for a while. Leaving the range that the guards could hear, he said in a low voice: "It seems that the sealing of the Frost Dew Pavilion has been lifted...... If the closure of Zhongcui Palace is also solved, this case will definitely be closed. Autumn ......"
"I don't know how they sentenced it, even if they sentenced Zhiqiu to death, how can they inform us that it is not, how can they be so quiet?" Early summer road.
Rong Yunxi sighed and said, "If they can really convict Zhiqiu, it can be seen that Zhiqiu was beaten into a trick by them and confessed to poisoning." In this case, our Yilan Palace is a place of recidivism, and this palace is the one who commanded us, and it is normal that they continue to seal us and do not give us any news. ”
For a while, the master and servant were both frowning, and they couldn't help but worry about Zhiqiu's life and death.
"But whatever, it's impossible for them to directly execute Zhiqiu, at least they should find us to question it." Early summer road.
Rong Yunxi nodded and said, "This matter is really strange......
"Miss, should we go to the outside of Zhong Cui Palace to have a look again?" Early summer road.
Rong Yunxi thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "There is no cover near Zhong Cui Palace, if we go over, I am afraid that we will be caught by the patrolling guards...... Let's go, let's go to the slave room to find Mama Jin. ”
The slave room is remote, and it is where the palace daughters live.
And when you arrive at the Frost Dew Pavilion, you are not far from the palace maid's room.
Mama Jin is working for Yilan Palace, and she is an old and prestigious old mama, so she naturally has her own separate small room. It's also easier to talk to her.
The two cautiously went all the way to Mama Jin's window and knocked lightly on the window. Immediately, an alarmed voice came from the room: "Who? ”
"Mama, it's me...... Early Summer......" Early Summer whispered.
Although Mama Jin lives alone, there are inevitably other rooms on the left and right sides. But fortunately, in order to avoid several old grandmothers from getting together in the palace, they raised their heads and lowered their heads to meet, and it was difficult to distinguish the number of ceremonies, and in order to make the old grandmothers look at these little girls, they deliberately separated the grandmothers to live. At this time, although some little girls in the rooms on the east and west sides heard it, because of their inferior position, no one could care about this idle matter, so they would only pretend not to hear it and continue to meet with Zhou Gong.
Mama Jin hurriedly opened the back window and looked out, only to see that it was a little eunuch with a eunuch hat and a low head in early summer. What is there to be ashamed of at this age? Therefore, even if he was only wearing bed clothes, he was busy pulling early summer in through the back window, and then came to pull the little eunuch. Grabbing the wrist of the little eunuch, I felt that the wrist of the little eunuch was weak and boneless, and the skin was moist, and then I realized that something was wrong.
However, the little eunuch stretched out his hand neatly, and did not need her to pull, he jumped up on the windowsill and landed easily.
Mama Jin hurriedly closed the back window firmly, just now she had seen the face of the little eunuch clearly, how dare she slack off, and hurriedly said: "The old slave asks for peace to the mother." ”
"Mama, please get up quickly, please ......" Rong Yunxi helped Mama Jin up, and said apologetically, "This palace should not come to disturb Mama late at night." But Mama also knows that this palace is in a difficult situation now, and if it weren't for the middle of the night, she wouldn't be able to get out. ”
"It doesn't matter what time it is, as long as you see the mother, the slave is always at ease." Mama Jin gave another salute.
"What's going on with the Criminal Division?" Rong Yunxi didn't go around the bend with Mama Jin, and asked directly.
Mama Jin replied: "The Queen Mother asked Concubine Bo to go to the Shen Xing Division to investigate the case, and Bo Fei Niangniang stayed in the Shen Xing Division for an afternoon, during which she called the chief manager of the Qiandi to come over, and the sun was ten ten, and the crime of Miss Zhiqiu was convicted. Say yes...... It is said that the girl Zhiqiu was careless, and when she went to the imperial dining room, she dropped a little arsenic that was originally going to be used to poison rats in the porridge bowl of the eldest prince, since it was an unintentional mistake, it would be better to pay attention to it in the future......"
"It was said that it was supposed to beat the 20th board of the Zhiqiu girl, but the girl's body has always been delicate, so she stopped fighting, and only let the Zhiqiu girl go back to the Yilan Palace to regret the past. Concubine Bo also asked Mama Wu to instruct the palaces, saying that this matter is over, since it is an unintentional mistake, everyone must not discuss it in the future. Don't delve into it, and don't treat Miss Zhiqiu inappropriately. It's business as usual. ”
Chu Xia gritted her teeth and said, "What does she mean by this?" Sell favors to us? Originally, there was no such thing, Zhiqiu didn't even know what arsenic looked like, how could he mistakenly land arsenic in the porridge bowl of the eldest prince! ”
Rong Yunxi said: "This is also a matter of no way, the Queen Mother asked Bo Xinlan to try this case, obviously to let her cure Zhiqiu's crime." Bo Xinlan is also extremely smart, it is impossible to force Zhiqiu to bite me in, but to take this way of wanting to cover up. The more she said it was a 'misunderstanding', and the more she told everyone not to mention it again, it would make people think that this matter had nothing to do with me. ”
"But none of this matters," Rong Yunxi sighed, "as long as Zhiqiu is fine...... Mama, but Zhiqiu didn't go back to Yilan Palace, but was called by the Queen Mother or Her Majesty to question? ”
Mama Jin was surprised: "Impossible...... The slave has been staring at this! I only heard that Concubine Bo let Miss Zhiqiu return to the palace, but I didn't hear that anyone else had met Miss Zhiqiu. ”
"Mama Jin...... Mama Jin ...... "Suddenly, a man's voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Hearing this voice, it turned out to be Zhuo wine!
Rong Yunxi and Chu Xia glanced at each other, but decided to hide.
But Mama Jin's room is only one, only a table, a bed, and a dresser, which can be hidden, that is, in the bed curtain.
"Mama pulled the curtain on the bed, and the palace and early summer went in to hide." Rong Yunxi said, pulling Chu Xia to the bedside.
Chu Xia said in a low voice: "Miss, it's Zhuo wine, it should be nothing." ”
"Let's see." Rong Yun Xi Road.
Mama Jin pulled the bed curtain, put on the coat hastily, and opened the door for Zhuo Jiu.
Zhuo Jiu hurriedly entered the house and said, "Mama, I'm offended." ”
"It doesn't matter, how old are you, how can you care about this? It's just that...... Why did the chief enter the palace so late? But you have been summoned by Your Majesty? ”
Zhuo Jiu sat down on the round stool beside the table tiredly, and said, "I have not been summoned by Your Majesty...... I just entered the palace when it was dark, and I only took the waist card, saying that there was something important to find Grandpa Fu, but fortunately, Grandpa Fu was willing to help, and when the guards passed the word, I was allowed to come in. I heard that Zhiqiu had been released back to Yilan Palace, but when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I quietly asked the guards at the gate, but they said that Zhiqiu had not returned......"
"In the forbidden place of the deep palace, I don't want to shout at Niangniang noisily, not to mention that Niangniang is grounded in the palace, isn't it in vain to increase Niangniang's worries? I could only entrust Xiaofuzi and ask him to secretly send a little eunuch to me, accompany me to look in the palace, and see if Zhiqiu was hiding somewhere crying, and didn't dare to go back to the palace. But we have gone around the entire palace, and until now, we still haven't found Zhiqiu. ”
I really thought it was just a little late and didn't come back, and it didn't matter, so I didn't tell the queen. After all, Zhiqiu had already done something wrong, if he didn't know the severity of the matter, but he just came back a little late, which would make the queen worry about it, wouldn't it make it more difficult for Zhiqiu to do it?
After that, he went back to Yilan Palace to see it again, but the guards still said that the people didn't come back, and then he knew that most of the people had an accident. But the more this is the case, the more lazy I am to tell the queen. The queen mother is confined to the palace, he just said, what can he do? The queen asked carefully, but she couldn't help much, so it was better to save time to find someone by herself.
But there is another point, which he deliberately hid. That is, he just went to the outside of the Yilan Palace, and saw that the guards outside the Yilan Palace had all fainted, and when he entered the palace, he saw that the main hall and the slave room were empty, only the two little minions were sleeping in the west side hall, and they couldn't wake up no matter how they screamed.
I didn't know what Niangniang's plan was, so I didn't dare to tell Mama Jin. It's just that I found that someone ran away in Yilan Palace, which is a terrible thing, Xiao Luzi has already gone to the Frost Dew Pavilion to report to Xiao Fuzi.
"This ...... How can a good person not find a trace at all? Mama Jin said, "The meaning of the chief manager is ......"
"I'm not from the palace, and I can't get out of the palace in the middle of the night. So I thought, does Mama know where you can hide people? Can you take me to look for it again? How did this good man disappear...... I'm afraid...... I'm afraid...... She has always been loyal to the queen, but now that she has been convicted, she naturally feels that she has implicated her mother, will she ......" Zhuo Jiu didn't dare to continue.
Mama Jin looked at Zhuo Jiu although he was tired, but he still looked anxious, and couldn't help but be moved by his infatuation. In addition, he was really anxious about Zhiqiu, so he didn't care about the rules or not, and hurriedly comforted Zhuo Jiu and said: "Don't worry, the chief manager, I'll change my clothes and accompany the chief manager to find it." ”
"That's it, but there is Mama Lao......" Zhuo Jiu got up and gave a deep salute to Mama Jin.
"Don't be polite, the chief manager, I and Miss Zhiqiu can talk quite a bit on weekdays, but now that something like this has happened, how can I ignore it?" Mama Jin said.
Rong Yunxi heard it, and knew that Zhuo Jiu came here just to find Zhiqiu, and Zhuo Jiu entered the palace behind the emperor's back, and he couldn't find anyone, he must have just been to Yilan Palace, and he couldn't find anyone in Yilan Palace, so he panicked and came to find Mama Jin.
After all, Zhiqiu has already been convicted, and if she escapes from the palace for Zhiqiu, it won't work. And if you want to take Zhiqiu away, you must wait for Zhiqiu's body to be well and convenient to move, it is impossible to be in such a hurry. Zhuo Jiu was just panicked at this time, worried that Zhiqiu would be thrown in the palace like this, and no one cared about it and no one asked.
Rong Yunxi was relieved, and came out of the bed curtain and said, "Before the chief manager came to find Mama Jin, did he go to Yilan Palace?" ”
When Zhuo Jiu saw that it was Rong Yunxi, he was surprised, and hurriedly gave a salute; "The slave asks for a ...... for the mother"
