Chapter 338

God did not like it.

Bicao left the banquet on the queen's side and hurried to the other side to find Prince Pei, but passed a bridge, met some court ladies, tripped accidentally, and fell into the water.

There was panic on the shore.

At the same time, the emperor ordered people to reward Pei Shizi and Xiao Shizi, thanking them for protecting the princess.

The two stood up to thank them.

When the maid poured wine for Xiao Shiqing, she accidentally spilled it all over him, and Xiao Shiqing had to leave the venue to change clothes.

He had just left for a while when a palace man came up to Pei Shizi and whispered a few words.

Soon, Pei Ji'an also stood up and complained to the emperor that he had to leave for a while because of something.

At this time, the banquet was halfway through, and the ministers were drinking for half a round, just when they needed to leave the venue to go to the toilet, the emperor thought Pei Ji'an was doing the same, waved his hands and said nothing.

The singing and dancing below ended, and another one began.

Pei Ji'an came out of the palace, and was led by the palace servants. When he came to a place, he saw Bi Cao shivering in the cold wind wearing a coat, and frowned, "What's going on, where's the young lady?"

"Young lady, the young lady got wet with soup at the banquet, and followed the maid to the Northwest Hall to change." Bi Cao couldn't speak fluently, it was too cold.

Her hair and clothes were all wet. If someone hadn't handed over a coat, she would have fainted from the cold.

Others persuaded her to go down and change first, but she insisted on waiting here for the prince.

Hearing this, Pei Ji'an frowned, waved someone to take Bi Cao down to change clothes, and walked towards the Northwest Hall.

If you had God's perspective at this time, you would be able to see that Pei Ji'an was not the only one heading towards the northwest hall, and there were also people heading towards the side hall in the opposite direction from him.

inside the house.

The maid brought a basin of warm water to Qu Fulan, "Mrs. Pei Shao, this servant will help you change your clothes."

Then, come and help her undress.

Qu Fulan raised his hand to stop it, "Go out, I will do it myself, and you don't need to prepare clothes, my maid will bring them to you."

The lady-in-waiting then withdrew.

Qu Fulan didn't even intend to take off his clothes, he just looked at the situation of the room first, Bi Cao went to inform Pei Ji'an, Qu Fulan wanted to let him come over, even if he couldn't come in, just guarding from a distance would make her feel safe.

The other servant girl, Ru Yin, went to get the clothes, and she was alone right now.

Today's palace banquet, although this kind of place used to change clothes for the female relatives has long been equipped with charcoal fire, but there is no warm wall and floor heating. .

It's just that Qu Fulan sat down to warm himself by the fire, and soon realized that something was wrong.

It's the smell in the air.

There was a faint fragrance, because of the charcoal fire in the room, this smell was almost overwhelmed, if it wasn't for her knowledge of medicine and sensitivity to medicines, she might not be able to smell it at this time.

There is something wrong with this house!
Qu Fulan got up hastily, feeling dizzy.

She hastily took out an antidote pill from the space, drank it with the water prepared earlier in the space, relieved it for a while, and waited for the symptoms to disappear before she walked to the door. The door was locked from the outside and could not be opened from the inside. up.

Who is scheming her and what is the purpose? Now is not the time to pursue such issues. She has to find a way to get out of here, otherwise she will just sit and wait to die.

But the door was locked, and the other windows couldn't be opened. Qu Fulan turned around the room but couldn't find a breakthrough.

Just at this time, footsteps came from outside.

……

"Please go this way, my son, the other side is the changing place for the female relatives."

As soon as Pei Ji'an stepped into the Northwest Palace, some palace servants stepped forward to lead the way.

The so-called men's and women's dressing halls are just separated by a wall, and there is no obvious distinction. Without the guidance of the maids and eunuchs, it is inevitable to go wrong.

After all, banquets are not held every day, and there is no need for a special setting in the palace, but it is only used temporarily for the convenience of outsiders.

Pei Ji'an did not leave, but took out some broken silver from her bosom and put it in the father-in-law's hands, "I am the eldest son of the Pei family, please ask the father-in-law to go to the female relatives to have a look, my wife is not feeling well today, she has been out to change clothes for a while , I am worried about her health, and it is inconvenient to visit the women's family area."

Rao people like Pei Ji'an and Xiao Shiqing, not everyone in the palace recognizes them. After all, many eunuchs and court ladies can't come to serve them, so where can they see their true faces?

But as soon as the name was reported, the eunuch knew it, and naturally he would not refuse, so he nodded and bowed after taking the broken silver.

Pei Ji'an was waiting at the door, but before the eunuch came out, another anxious voice stopped her.

"My lord, I can't find my young lady anymore!"

The one who spoke was Ru Yin who was going to get the clothes. The maid who took the young lady to change clothes earlier said a room number. She took the clothes and went there, but no one was there!
Ruyin was in such a hurry, no noise was allowed in the palace, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only carefully search for it slowly, and if she couldn't find it for a while, she knew that things couldn't be delayed, and she had to find the crown prince to have a look , but as soon as he went out, he bumped into Shizi, what a blessing from God!

……

Ahead, someone came to the queen and whispered something in his ear.

The queen frowned and said, "Madam Pei Shao's maid fell into the water? How did she fall into the water so well?"

"Maybe it fell by accident."

The queen thought for a while, and said, "Go to Haosheng to settle down, and then send someone to tell Mrs. Pei Shao." After a pause, she added, "Go back and check the situation of falling into the water."

After all, living in the backyard of the deep palace for a long time, the queen will not be simple and one-sided in seeing things. In winter, she fell into the water for no reason. Who will believe it?
The queen was also a little unhappy, there were too many things going on at the banquet.

Princess Zhuyu sat next to the queen, vaguely heard the words of the palace servants, and couldn't help asking, "Queen, what's wrong with Mrs. Pei Shao?"

The queen smiled, "It's nothing, something happened to Mrs. Pei's maid, and it has already been dealt with."

Princess Zhuyu looked worried, and said to the maid beside her, "Go and see if there is anything that needs help."

The maid said yes and went down.

On the other side, a panicked call suddenly came from the female family members of the Northwest Palace.

"It's not good, the northwest hall is on fire!"

Water and fire are ruthless. No matter where, once a flood or fire occurs, it is the top priority. This is the case in other places, let alone the palace. If one is not handled well, the entire palace will have to pay for it.

So once someone yelled for fire, it immediately caused panic, and everyone was busy fleeing and fighting the fire.

The women's side immediately became a mess.

Some people ran out without even putting on their clothes.

Some people also came out before they had time to change their clothes.

I'm afraid that a moment later, I will die in the sea of ​​fire.

Pei Ji'an, who had already changed into the eunuch's uniform and put on the eunuch's hat, took the opportunity to enter.

In the vast crowd, a tall figure shuttled through the crowd.

If it was normal, others would still be in the mood to take a look at this tall eunuch, and now they are busy running for their lives, who would have the time to look at this?
Pei Ji'an passed through the panicked crowd and walked to the corner on the other side. As soon as he finished turning around, he was hit head-on by someone.
