Chapter 240 The Abandoned Palace

The eunuch ran away quickly.

Murong Qing sat on the burden and gasped, but luckily the pain did not last long.

After a while, Murong Qing stood up, but the eunuch hadn't come back yet.

The sky above was very bright, and the abandoned palace could vaguely be seen in dilapidation.

Suddenly, she walked towards the palace.

What caught the eye was desolation, only half of the gate of the palace remained, and the other half fell to the ground and was eaten by termites and insects until it rotted. some corner.

Murong Qing stepped on the dusty steps and looked inside, the inside was even more desolate, weeds grew as tall as a person, dead wood, low tables, and carved wooden benches were scattered on the ground.

It was as if there had been an escape here.

Just stepped into the door of the palace, facing a rotten smell, Murong Qing covered his nose, frowned and saw a thick cobweb behind the door.

Many of these cobwebs were also abandoned, no spiders were seen, and only dust was hanging on the webs.

Suddenly, Murong Qing saw mottled traces under the spider web.

If she was not mistaken, it was the trace of the sword cutting on the wood.

After careful observation, she found that there were not only one trace of the sword, but many, very messy.

It appears that there was a violent fight in the palace, with weapons involved.

She couldn't help but wonder, what happened here?Why is there still such a place in the palace?It has been abandoned for so many years and they don't come to take care of it again?

The smell of damp and decay was unpleasant, and she was about to go out when her eyes caught a glimpse of gray webs peeking out from under the fallen door.

Murong Qing tugged at the webbing and unexpectedly pulled out a piece of jade pendant.

The web is not gray, but blue, and the part exposed outside the door has been exposed to the wind and rain, and the color has long since faded.

Just when Murong Qing wiped off the dust on the jade pendant and wanted to examine it carefully.

"My God, madam, why are you here! Come out!"

The eunuch danced and danced anxiously, his face full of panic.

The eunuch tore off the jade pendant from Murong Qing's hand, "Where did my aunt get this thing? My God!"

Murong Qing was overwhelmed by his appearance as if facing a formidable enemy, so he could only point to the door panel, "It was ripped out from under the door panel."

The eunuch immediately lifted the door panel, threw the whole jade pendant in, and pulled Murong Qing out again.

Not only that, the eunuch also nervously grabbed the dirt on the ground, covered Murong Qing's footprints, and finally pulled a handful of weeds to spread on it.

After finishing this, the eunuch pulled Murong Qing's sleeve and wrinkled his face and said, "Ma'am, please don't tell anything about your visit to this place today, absolutely, absolutely not, even to the people around you. Let this matter rot in your stomach, or you and your servant will be beheaded, madam!"

The eunuch's eyes were terrified, as if he was about to die soon.

Murong Qing was puzzled, "Eunuch, is it really so serious, isn't it just an abandoned palace?"

The eunuch shook his head, and said sincerely, "Don't talk about it, Ma'am, just remember, you must not let outsiders know about this!"

"Alright then." Murong Qing nodded.

The eunuch thought of something, and asked again, "By the way, Madam didn't touch anything else in there, did she?"

Murong Qing said, "No."

She was dragged off the jade pendant without even seeing what pattern it was.

Only now did the eunuch pat his chest in relief, "That's good!"

"Eunuch, wait for this old man, this old man can't catch up with his old man!"

At this time, the tired and out of breath old doctor came, propped his knees and waved to the eunuch and said.

The imperial doctor came, and the eunuch remembered the business, "The imperial doctor is here to show Madam, it is very important that nothing happened."

Murong Qing sat back on the burden again, and the imperial physician checked her pulse.

"Madam is fine, she just needs to rest, and there is no need to prescribe any medicine, just rest for a few days."

Hearing the imperial physician's words, the father-in-law and Murong Qing were relieved.

Afterwards, the way out of the palace was exceptionally smooth, and the little guy in his belly didn't make trouble for Murong Qing anymore.

After leaving the palace gate, Liu Shen led the carriage and looked forward to it, only when he saw Murong Qing did he reveal a smile.

"Hurry up and get in the car, madam. The general is worried, so he specially sent a young man to pick up madam."

The carriage staggered back to the General's Mansion, and the servants waited for her to eat something, Murong Qing returned to his own room, he was not sleepy at first, but as soon as he got on the bed, he fell asleep unknowingly.

Even Murong Qing himself didn't notice that during these few days in the palace, her sleep has been very light, and even the slightest movement can wake her up.

It was already afternoon when she woke up, Ping'er and the nuns had all returned, except Pei Mo.

Murong Qing comforted himself, maybe the general will be back in a while.

But the sky failed as people wished, and until nightfall, there was no sign of Pei Mo returning from the General's Mansion.

At this moment, the main hall of the General's Mansion was brightly lit, Murong Qing was wearing a robe and sitting on a chair waiting.

"Ma'am, otherwise you can go to bed first, I will wait for you here, and I will call you in the wing as soon as the general comes back, how about it?"

Seeing her motionless, Ping'er said distressedly.

Murong Qing shook his head, and said weakly, "I can't sleep, wait a while."

Ping'er couldn't resist her, so he could only sigh and go forward to close the door halfway, so as to save the cool night breeze from blowing into the house.

As soon as Pinger went out, he saw the general's cronies passing by.

She asked in surprise, "Wuyi, is the general back?"

Wu Yi is the apprentice brought by Liu Shen, these days he has gradually become the general's confidant, and he has become acquainted in front of Murong Qing.

Murong Qing got up when he heard the sound and looked out, "The general is back?"

Wuyi waved his hand, "I've seen Madam, the general hasn't come back yet, why hasn't Madam slept yet?"

Hearing the news, Murong Qingmingyan's face seemed to lose color all of a sudden, and she was downcast.

"The second prince really lost his mind and went crazy. The empress's bedroom is on fire. How could she have anything to do with the general? I think the second prince is trying to make things difficult, so he refuses to let him go back."

Murong Qing leaned his head on the door frame, with bitter and bitter resentment on his face.

Ping'er didn't know what to say, but Wu Yi hesitated and said, "Uh, maybe things in the palace are too chaotic, the general can't get away."

Wu Yi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Murong Qing's face when he was speaking.

This looks very guilty.

Murong Qing frowned, he had never seen Wu Yi stumble like this before, so he asked, "Wu Yi? Why don't you dare to look at me, are you hiding something from me? Could it be that something happened to the general!"

"No, nothing will happen to the general!" Wu Yi raised his head to defend himself, then thought of something, and lowered his voice, "Although, the general really asked the little one to prepare a fire bag."

Murong Qing's jaw dropped in shock, "What are you talking about, the general set the fire?"
