"Like, it seems to be a finch!" said one of the palace maids, "yes, I heard my aunt say, that position is a finch!"

"Impossible!" said the other palace maid, "Que Er was sick yesterday, and she couldn't get up, so how can she come to serve today?"

"How do you know she's sick?" the previous maid didn't believe. The palace maid said, "Que'er and I are fellow villagers, and the rooms of the two of us are very close, and I gave her a decoction yesterday." She is very sick, it is impossible for her to come and serve, even if her aunt arranged her, she must have changed someone else today!"

"Stop arguing!" Fang Duan interrupted them, "Where is the finch now?" said the palace maid who insisted that the finch did not come to the feast, "The slave knows, the general, please come with me!"

The residence of the palace maids is not far away, and in a small courtyard, dozens of palace maids live. At this time, I had to go to duty, and some of them were replaced and were washing and resting. Seeing that the king of Zhenbei walked in with a group of people, he knelt on the ground in a panic.

"I've seen the prince, I've seen General Fang!"

"Get up!" Cong Miao didn't even look at them, and a few of them were about to show off, hoping to get his attention, but they were ignored. Sima Lu couldn't help but pursed his lips contemptuously, and said to Green Fire, "See, these are all restless, thinking about climbing high branches! Hmph, if you get one back in the future, I will never spare it!"

If it weren't for the presence of everyone, and the presence of so many palace maids, Green Fire would have knelt down to show his determination at that time. He turned his head sideways and whispered in Sima Lu's ear, "Lu'er, even if you give me a hundred guts, I don't dare." Besides, those vulgar fans only know how to scratch their heads and make gestures, how did they get into my eyes?"

"Hmph, don't say it, it's another thing to carry me behind your back! I think there has never been a shortage of such women around my father, haven't I cleaned them up one by one?" Sima Lu said, and saw that Cong Miao had stopped at the door of a room.

A palace maid lifted the door curtain and said uneasily, "The place where the slaves and maids live is pickled, I am afraid that the soles of your shoes will be stained!" Cong Miao didn't care about this, and walked in.

This room is on the east side of the courtyard, and the summer is hot and cold, and those who want to live here are all unfavored palace maids. The window was closed, and it was dim inside. A strong bitter smell of decoction came to the face, there were a total of five sets of bedding on the kang by the window, the other four sets were neatly stacked, only one was open, and a person was sleeping on all sides.

"She's a finch!" Thousands of palace maids who brought them over, patted the people in the quilt, and whispered, "Finch, you are better today, the king of Zhenbei and General Fang have come to see you!"

It was absolutely unprecedented for the prince and the general to deign to come to see a sick little palace maid in the lower room. The finch struggled to sit up, and Fang Du hurriedly said, "No need, you just lie down." Let me ask you, you were supposed to be serving at the feast today, right?"

Finch nodded, and Fang Du asked again, "Then when did you get sick?" Finch thought for a while and said, "Yesterday morning was fine, but when it came to lunch, I felt a stuffy nose and headache, and I couldn't hold it at night." My aunt called the imperial doctor to come and take the decoction again, but it didn't get better. Therefore, today's aunt did not let the slaves and maids serve, so as not to pass the illness to the masters. ”

"Then who went instead of you?" Fang Du wanted to know most about this. Que'er shook her head and said, "My aunt has other arrangements, so the slave and maid don't know." ”

When the prince arrived, he had already alarmed the aunt in charge of this place. This is about forty years old, and the shrewdness of his face is exposed, "The slave maid is the aunt in charge here, Shanhe, I have seen the prince and General Fang, I don't know that the two of them have arrived, and they have lost their welcome, please forgive me!"

"This king asks you, who is the person who replaced the bird today, and where is it now?" Cong Miao went straight to the point, and Shanhe immediately said, "The slave remembers that it is Ah Qing." Quick, come on, go find A-Qing, quick!"

The palace maids all over the courtyard were suddenly busy looking for people all over the world, there was no courtyard in the courtyard, and there was no place on duty. Cong Miao's brows furrowed tightly, "This king doesn't believe it, can a big living person disappear? Even if the entire palace is turned over, this Ah Qing must be found!"

As soon as the king of Zhenbei gave an order, all the palace maids and eunuchs who could be mobilized nearby, including the Imperial Forest Army, began to look for this palace maid named Qing'er.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid this matter is not good!" Fang Dui had a plan in his heart, he said, "Que'er is sick, I'm afraid it was premeditated and did something to her. There is only one purpose, and that is to replace the finches with their men. ”

"Are you saying there is something wrong with this A-Qing?" Cong Miao knew that it was very easy to make a person disappear in the palace, and it was even easier than pinching an ant to death that didn't notice. Fang Du shook his head, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." If this Ah Qingsheng doesn't see anyone, death or corpse, then it can prove that she is an accomplice of the person who kidnapped Huaixing, but if it is ......"

Fang Du couldn't bear to say the next words, look at the palace maids who were busy looking for people, the eldest of them was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest was only twelve or thirteen years old.

"Back to the prince, Ah Qing has found it!" Shanhe and Aunt ran over panting, her face was white for a while and black and purple for a while, which seemed to be bad.

"Bring people up!" Cong Miao was anxious to verify the final result, but Aunt Shanhe said, "Lord Wang, people can't bring it!" Fang Dui's heart sank suddenly, afraid that what he was most worried about would still happen. Cong Miao asked, "Why?"

Aunt Shanhe sighed and beckoned behind her, and the four eunuchs carried a man over, and the white cloth covering the man's body said it all.

"The man was found in the Imperial Garden, and he had been dead for a long time, and his body was stiff. "Aunt Shanhe has been in the palace for many years, and I don't know how much life and death I have seen in the open and in the dark, but I still can't help but sigh, "A-Qing entered the palace last autumn, although this child is a little clumsy, but he has a good heart. The slave scolded her a few times, telling her that if she was soft-hearted to others, she would suffer. I didn't expect this child to refuse to listen, and said to the slave maid that it is not easy for people to live a lifetime, and they can help if they can, but I didn't expect that now, now it is her, she ......"

Aunt Shanhe was sad in her heart, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the prince, so she could only pinch her nails into the flesh fiercely to prevent herself from crying. Huang Xiaorong couldn't bear to look at it, so she went over to help her up and said, "Auntie, you are willing to remind Ah Qing because you also have a kind heart." And Ah Qing chooses to take care of others regardless of his own interests, you are all good people. I believe that good people will be rewarded. Presumably, in the next life, Ah Qing will definitely be reborn in a rich and noble family, and he will be safe and happy all his life, and he will no longer have to suffer hardships and sins!"
