Chapter 378, Is She Worth It
Carefree with a few moves, quickly disappearing.
Qingling quickly took off his outer clothes, revealing the black night clothes inside, and then put on a black hood, judging the same as the little eunuch just now.
She looked guiltily at the place where her aunt had disappeared:
"Uncle Feng Jing, did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have put my aunt in danger for the sake of a stranger! ”
The man in black shook his head: "Compared with ordinary people, cultivators pay more attention to cause and effect, and they must avoid implicating innocents, even if you don't say that we also have arrangements."
The planned arson has a threefold meaning.
One is to cover us in case of an accident, and the other is to confuse the other party, so that they can't guess where we come from, and try to avoid future troubles.
The third and most important thing is that it can avoid harming the innocent to the greatest extent, which is also beneficial to Princess Mingzhu.
The palace will definitely make a fuss about the fire, and it will not make a big deal about the princess's abduction and disappearance.
They would use the excuse that the princess had been burned by fire and needed to recuperate for a long time, so that she would not have to be seen in front of anyone again.
Of course, it is up to them to decide how long it will take, not only to hide the truth, but also to preserve the princess's reputation.
And in the future, they will definitely hide it, and they can only secretly search for her whereabouts, and they will not send heavy troops to look for people on a large scale, and our situation will be safer.
Putting this fire on the fire is actually to eliminate future troubles.
The charges of those palace maids and eunuchs will be much lighter, and it is inevitable to suffer some hardships, but they can save their lives.
They didn't set the fire until midnight, first to cover our safe evacuation.
Second, at this time, some people have already started to do things, and there are people who keep vigil all night, and they will find the fire in time, which will not cause a major disaster, and generally there will be no casualties.
Hurry up, we'll only lag behind if we stay. ”
Lightness was relieved, and the two quickly left.
Just now, Uncle Du Feng and Xiaojun had already left with Princess Mingzhu, and they didn't hear any movement, so everything should go well.
******************
"Mother, the fire has been extinguished!
Fortunately, there were already people walking around and doing things at that time, and they shouted in time, and there were many people who helped, and they were all extinguished before they spread.
I counted it just now, and there were no casualties, and only a few uninhabited houses were burned, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
The place where the fire started was a little close to the woman's house, and they were frightened.
In particular, several princesses and county lords were crying and wanted to go back, but fortunately they were appeased by a few ladies, and now they have also gotten up and freshened up. ”
Concubine Huang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly sat down on the chair, why was she so miserable!
Don't say anything about the hard work, and almost bear the blame!
Fortunately, the matter was not serious, there were no casualties, and no important palaces and palaces were harmed, especially far from the sacrificial hall.
Otherwise, if you go back and be punished and demoted, if it affects Jing'er's future, won't you die!
The emperor has always been very lenient with the harem, as long as it is not a big mistake, it is all high and light.
The queen is too lazy to take care of these trivial matters, and Lu Guifei still has some intention of wooing herself, and she will not fall into the trap if she thinks about it, and she should not be punished if she complains again.
There are a lot of things today, hurry up and return to the palace after coping, and have to ask the emperor for guilt, it's really unlucky!
Concubine Huang Xian simply freshened up under the service of the palace maid, and just had breakfast, and soon a steward came to talk back, and discussed and arranged today's affairs.
"Niangniang, there are people outside asking to see!"
As soon as the steward walked for a while, a big palace maid stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words in Concubine Huang Xian's ear.
Concubine Huang Xian's face suddenly turned pale and almost fainted, but the palace maid hurriedly helped her sit down, went out and brought someone in, and stayed outside the door by herself.
That person was the eunuch on duty in Princess Mingzhu's courtyard last night.
He pounced and knelt down with a panicked face: "Niangniang, something happened!" ”
Then he didn't dare to hide it, 1510 said what happened last night, and Concubine Huang Xian calmed down after panicking and anger.
It seems that the other party is well-planned and extraordinary, and he has calculated everything in order to kidnap Princess Mingzhu.
Even if she would make a fuss about eating food in violation of the regulations, she was not an ordinary outlaw, and she would never just harm Mingzhu.
Today, the Imperial Tomb Palace must be very tightly defended, and it is not easy for the other party to hide so many guards, it should be done by a group of people.
Mingzhu is just a princess, and it has almost become a joke to be raised, and there are no brothers of the same mother competing for the prince, and the uncle's family is even more of a drag.
Is such a person worth the risk of a group of people just to take her captive? Is she worth it?
There must be something she doesn't know about this, and Princess Pearl should be safe.
The most important thing now is not to publicize it, to protect her reputation, and then send someone to search for it secretly, and at the same time hurry to report to the palace.
"Can you make sure things don't get out of the way?"
"No, when the servant saw that breakfast was brought here, he was startled, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he asked carefully.
I hurriedly found an excuse to inquire quietly, only to find out that Princess Mingzhu didn't go over last night, and there was no such person as Hu Agui by her side!
Now no one knows where she is, she and the two palace maids, as well as Hu Agui and Aunt Qi, have all disappeared!
I really don't know how he managed to sneak in by jumping through the layers of guards? How did you deceive everyone?
As soon as he came, he went in and out of the princess's house as if it were his own yard, and no one in it questioned him.
And it seems that he is very familiar with the princess, no matter what he says, the princess and the two palace maids have no intention of refutating it.
Therefore, the minion thought that he was really the one who served by the princess's side, so he believed what he said.
She also arranged very carefully everywhere, even taking into account the details of delivering hot water and picking up luggage.
If it weren't for Princess Mingzhu's breakfast brought from the dining room just now, this matter might not be discovered until before the funeral......"
The more powerful the other party, the more relieved Concubine Huang Xian became, and she breathed a sigh of relief:
"Don't worry, the princess will be fine, I will send a letter to the palace and ask the emperor to decide.
All we have to do now is to keep the funeral going on as usual and not let anyone doubt it.
If someone asked, they said that the princess was frightened and fell and could not walk, and had arranged for someone to send her back to the capital.
Don't leak any news, or you'll be killed! ”
The eunuch nodded in fright, and knelt down to swear all kinds of gambling curses.
Concubine Huang Xian explained again, and a palace maid went out with him.
The palace maid came back not long after, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Huang Xian, the letter was sealed, and it was written "Chai Di personally opened".
"It's still the mother who is careful, the slave maid went in to take a look, and sure enough, there was such a letter on the table in the princess's bedroom."
Concubine Huang Xian's heart was suddenly frightened, and she hurriedly put it away, this letter did not dare to be opened privately even if she was killed.
Another palace maid soon went out, and after a while, Luo Shangshu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, the head of the palace, and the captain of the guard, who were in charge of the funeral, came quietly.
This matter can't get around these three people, it's all up to them to do it.
Concubine Huang Xian quickly explained the whole thing, and the three of them almost collapsed on the ground in fright, but quickly calmed down and began to discuss.
