Chapter 436: Lost
Zhu Jinxiu said: "Anyway, Yang Yu did it, why don't you let him make another one?" This black light is blinding, even if you look for it, you can't find it. ”
Xianghua said: "I didn't go anywhere else when I went to and from the East Palace today, and it was not difficult to find it." Ying'er and I will go back along the road to find out, princess and Jinxiu, you can go back first, I'll come later. ”
Zhu Jinxiu said: "Why don't I go with you, this big night is weird and scary." ”
Xianghua smiled: "There are patrolling soldiers everywhere, what is there to be afraid of?" I'm with Ying'er, don't worry. ”
The princess said, "I'll let the attendant and the grandmother keep an eye on you, and it's the same if you come back tomorrow." ”
Xianghua couldn't put her mind at ease, and said, "I'll look for it first, if I can't find it, I can only look for it tomorrow." ”
The princess and Zhu Jinxiu could only go back first, while Xianghua and Ying'er walked back with lanterns.
Ying'er said: "The road we went to was different from the road we came, so it's better for us to find it separately and meet at the door later." ”
Xianghua thought about it for a while, and soon the palace door would be locked, and they would not be able to get out at that time.
The two went their separate ways, each carrying a lantern to find it.
As Ying'er walked, she kept an eye out for anything like a hairpin on the ground, but the stone pavement in the palace was all gone, and there was nothing.
She came across a group of Guards as she walked over, and another as she walked back.
Ying'er noticed that it seemed to be the same team, and the leader was wearing different colors from the others, maybe a captain or something.
When Ying'er was watching them carefully, the captain also looked over-
This eye-born girl had been mysteriously staying here for a long time, and Li Shu felt the need to ask.
"This girl," he asked, striding over, "may I ask you which palace you belong to?" ”
Ying'er raised her head, and then she saw the person's appearance clearly-just now these people were wearing hats, and they could only see the back of their heads from a distance. At this time, looking at the light, this person's eyebrows and eyes were stiff, and his face was upright, although the tone was a little stern, but it was not offensive.
"I'm not from the palace, I'm following my aunt...... I am from the family of Lord Yang Yuyang, the head of the household, and I came with me to attend the night banquet. ”
Li Shu knew about this, so he asked, "The lady and the young lady who participated in the night banquet have gone back, why is the girl still here?" ”
Ying'er said neatly: "Our young lady has dropped something and is looking for it." ”
"What?"
"A hairpin." Ying'er said. She didn't say it was a wooden hairpin, worried that this person would be the same as everyone else, and felt that a wooden hairpin didn't matter, so she wanted to drive them out.
"What does it look like?" Li Shu also asked quickly.
"Ordinary, nothing ......special," Ying'er herself said and felt that it was difficult to find, so she simply said, "If you have to say it, it is a wooden hairpin, and it is not inlaid with gold and jade gems, but that hairpin is very important." ”
Li Shu frowned when he heard this, and said: "At most, there is still a stick of incense Gongfu The palace door is about to be locked, if the girl and your young lady can't get out, and there are no two messengers, I'm afraid Lord Yang will have to worry." Why don't you go back first, we are going to patrol around, since you said to me, I will pay attention to you, if you find it, I will hand it over to the soldiers at the gate of the palace, you will come and ask in a few days. ”
Ying'er didn't think of any other good way for the time being, it was good that he was willing to help with this person, and it didn't look like he was exaggerated or perfunctory, so he nodded and said thank you.
Xianghua was also looking for it, walking all the way, and unconsciously walked to the Fangrui Palace, which was Xu Ruyu's residence.
She was about to retreat when she heard the little eunuch who was guarding the door shouting sharply: "Who? ”
Of course, Xianghua can't run at this time, in case she is arrested as a suspicious person, it will be even more troublesome, so she stopped and said: "Little father-in-law, I am here to attend the night banquet of the crown princess, because something is missing, so I am looking for it, and it is inconvenient to disturb, so I will leave." ”
Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Ruyu was walking in the courtyard of Fangrui Palace, and when she heard the voice, she felt familiar, and when she remembered who this person was, she sneered and said loudly: "Miss Cheng hasn't left yet, I don't know what important things have been dropped, and I am still looking for it late at night?" ”
Xianghua knew that Xu Ruyu had been on odds with her a long time ago, so she said: "It's not important, it's just a little plaything, it doesn't matter if you can't find it." ”
If she said it was important, if the wooden hairpin was picked up by Xu Ruyu, she wouldn't know how many accidents would happen.
Xu Ruyu pretended to look at the sky, and said with a sigh: "I see that the palace gate has been locked, and Miss Cheng shouldn't be able to get out, I can't bear to see such a delicate beauty sleeping in the palace, so please come to Fangrui Hall to rest for a night." ”
Xianghua smiled, if she dared to go in, she was really sure that she would not come out vertically.
"Thank you Xu Liangdi for your kindness, there is still a little time before the palace door is locked, the maid in the concubine's house is still waiting, not far away, the concubine will leave."
Of course, Xu Ruyu could see that Xianghua wanted to escape, so she glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids on the side and asked them to go out and arrest people quickly.
Xianghua saw Xu Ruyu's behavior like this, and she was so frightened that she ran away, but the skirt was too long, and she ran away with it, and she couldn't run away from those palace maids and eunuchs. These three or four people grabbed her with all hands and feet, and when they saw that she wanted to shout, some people covered her mouth with handkerchiefs.
Xianghua was isolated, and was wondering if there were many wild cats or the like in the palace, when she heard a cold voice behind her: "Who is presumptuous here!" ”
The man hadn't shown his face in the shadows, but several palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that their hands trembled, and they knelt down with a thud, Xu Ruyu also heard who this person was, and his face turned pale with fright, and he stumbled and almost collapsed to the ground.
Xianghua took out the handkerchief in her mouth, coughed a few times, and looked up at her "rescuer".
When she saw the silver and white brocade boots that this person was wearing, Xianghua knew who this person was.
Wei Xi walked out with someone and looked at the trembling subordinates kneeling on the ground with disgust: "Stupid thing that helps to abuse, pull it down." ”
Several palace maids and eunuchs kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the mountain called for mercy, and Xianghua knew that this "pulling down" was about the same as falling to the ground.
There was a very small eunuch who was so frightened that he peed his pants, and even cried and crawled over to beg Xianghua to spare his life, saying that he had no way and was confused for a while, Xianghua saw that he was young, moved with compassion, and looked at Wei Xi silently.
Wei Xi indifferently helped her up and instructed her left and right, "What are you waiting for? Pull away. ”
