I took advantage of the light of the night pearl and found that Qingqing was getting better and better, and it had grown taller.

"Why don't you go back to the fox clan to live for a few days, your father and mother will be very worried about you. ”

Qingqing can't come to the palace to find me this month, and I can't get out of the imperial city, she has nothing to do outside, I'm worried that she will get into trouble, and besides, she has discovered the secret of the Baili family and Pianruo, maybe there will be danger.

Qingqing didn't resist me very much, and when she mentioned her father and queen mother, her eyes also flashed, but she still frowned and said to me: "But sister, I don't worry about leaving you alone in the imperial city." ”

"Silly girl. "I patted Qingqing's little head, the hair on her forehead was messy, and I didn't care, so I helped her sort it out.

"What's not to worry about, there is still Sister Bai Rong in the palace, and besides, I will also be good friends with your third sister, so naturally there will be no more accidents in the palace. ”

"Really?" Qingqing's face was confused, a little unconvinced.

I nodded and smiled back at her: "Of course, besides, you really miss me, and you will come back in a month." ”

Qingqing rolled her eyes and thought about it, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, I'll come back then!"

After she finished speaking, she smiled at me, and Qiu An next to her saw Qingqing's appearance, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

There was a strange movement outside, and Qiu An opened the door and went out, and said to me, "Princess, I'll go outside and take a look." ”

Qiu'an went out for a while and didn't come back, I saw that it was not late outside, so I got up and pulled Qingqing, and said to her: "Go back to the fox clan tomorrow, go see your third sister today!"

Qingqing nodded and said okay, and I held hands with each other and went out, planning to go to the Hall of Eternal Life to find Youzi.

Before I left the door of the West Courtyard, Qiu An came back from outside in a panic, and when he saw that Qingqing and I were going out, he hurriedly stopped me.

"Princess, Pian Ruo is dead. ”

Qiu An said very quietly, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and smashed beside me and Qingqing.

Qingqing covered her mouth in shock, and my heart was like knocking over a Baiwei jade bottle, both shocked and frightened.

Whether Pian Ruo is a bad person or not, there must be a bigger black hand behind her.

Qiu An saw that Qingqing and I were so flustered, as if she had expected it a long time ago, and she herself was no better, so she said in shock: "Princess Pianruo died in the bathing bucket." ”

I calmed down and asked Qiu An cautiously, "Does Emperor Ren and Emperor Heping Jade know about this?"

Qiu An nodded and told me: "The Human Emperor and the Jade Emperor Ji are extremely angry, but the palace sacrifice is a major event in the entire human world, and tomorrow you spirit girls still need to learn from Wu Gong normally, as for the death of Princess Pianruo, hide it from the outside world first, and then notify the Spirit Butterfly Clan after it is found out, and I will also give them an explanation." ”

Qiu An looked at Qingqing again, and said with some concern: "Now the entire imperial city is sealed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

Qingqing scratched her head in confusion, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

I don't dare to take it lightly, Qingqing and I have already been plotted against once last time, and it is hard to guarantee that this time it will be fine.

"Is the token borrowed from you still by the Emperor of the People?"

Qingqing nodded, took out the Emperor Xiaoling of the Human Emperor from his sleeve, and said to me: "I wear the token of the Emperor's uncle every day, and the spirit girl in the palace today is bathing and heavily guarded, without which I can't enter." But Uncle Rendi told me that if I got tired of being outside the Imperial City and wanted to go back to the fox clan, I needed to return this to him. ”

I glanced at Huang Xiaoling, and wanted to find a way, so I solemnly instructed her: "You wait to swagger out and go to the human emperor with this token, and say that you want to go back to the fox clan and return this to him, with this scene, the people in the palace will not suspect you." ”

"Sister, are you really okay in the palace?"

This stupid girl is not afraid of trouble, and she is still worried about me at this time.

"Of course I'm fine, I don't know what the situation is outside yet, when you get safe outside the palace, I will ask Qinghuang to send you a message. ”

"Qinghuang!" Qingqing mentioned the name, and there was a bright color in his eyes.

At this time, Qinghuang also flew down from the tree, landed on my shoulder, and shouted at Qingqing twice.

"Sister, with it by your side, I can rest assured. ”

I nodded and said to her, "I will explain to your third sister that you should go out of the palace earlier and stay away from these rights and wrongs first." ”

"Hmm!" Qingqing nodded happily, begged Qiu An to give a salute, and said, "Auntie, my sister is kind and kind, and she will inevitably be framed in the palace, please take care of her!"

I was very moved in my heart, and Qiu An hurried to help Qingqing up at this time.

"Auntie, you should be careful in the palace, don't worry about others. ”

"Sister, if you have something, let Qinghuang send me a message immediately, even if it is thousands of miles away, I will rush back to the imperial city!"

After Qingqing said goodbye to me, he reluctantly walked out of the door of the West Courtyard and went to the Emperor to return to Emperor Xiaoling, and I motioned for Qinghuang to follow to ensure that Qingqing went out of the Imperial City safe and sound.

Because of the accident in Pianruo, those guards returned to Hesui Palace in advance, and now the outside is heavily guarded, and the palace is also panicked, this night Qiu'an and I only stayed in the Yong'an Palace with peace of mind, and did not go out.

The second day is the day when the fast begins, and the female officials have sent the medicinal herbs for bathing early, because they only need to soak in the wooden barrel for a while in the morning, and both the medicinal effect and the amount are much lighter than the previous days.

The female official who came this morning was an old acquaintance with Qiu An, so she chatted with her for a few words, but the female official spoke very cautiously, and only told Qiu An that the palace sacrifice was as usual, and the spirit girls fasted every day and bathed twice in the morning and evening to show their piety.

Breakfast was a meal, and I didn't rush to wait for it early, as I usually did.

Last time, I went earlier, and no one dared to stand next to me in the later spirit girl, or Condensation helped me out, this time, I calculated the time, and I would never go early.

As if he knew my thoughts, Qiu An only watched me quietly from the sidelines, and did not urge.

By the time Qiu An and I arrived at the main hall, it was really as I thought, and the rest of the spirit maidens had already arrived.

Emperor Ji and Wu Gong were not present, so everyone was not so restrained, and after roughly finding a place to stand still, talking to the people around them, everyone looked as usual, as if they didn't know about the death of Pian Ruo.

It's just counting, counting me, there are only ten spirit girls left, thinking of Pianruo, the previous suspicion is still there, but I don't hate it so much.

A poor man, too!

To my surprise, only Condensation and Bai Rong stood in the front position, and there was a vacant seat between them, no doubt reserved for me, and the other women did not dare to step forward.

I can't help but have a headache, but after being the sedan chair of His Majesty the Human Emperor twice, these people's hearts are haunted to such a point.

The women noticed that I was coming, and they all turned their heads and looked at me as if I were going.

I don't want to force myself, and I don't care about those eyes, I just stand at the end of everyone with peace of mind, so that I can avoid the dissatisfaction of Emperor Pingyu and the attention of Wu Gong.

When those women saw that I didn't step forward, they had different thoughts, and they could see joy and worry in their eyes, and the happiest was Jiang Qianchen, she saw that I was only standing last, and there was an empty seat in front of me, so she walked to the front quite wisely, and walked to the middle between Sister Bairong and Condensation.

Sister Bai Rong kept looking at me with concern, and when she saw that I didn't come to her, there was no anger in her eyes, and she smiled politely at Jiang Qianchen.

Surprise flashed in my eyes when I looked at me, but I still twisted my head to the side arrogantly, and didn't look at Jiang Qianchen.
