After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 265 Lame Palace Maid
They didn't care. They didn't expect that there was no patrol here, so they came here safely.

Bilan did not go into the manufacturing bureau. Instead, she walked around to the small corner door, raised her hand and knocked on the door four times.

The small corner door is usually filled with people receiving reception, but naturally there is no one at this moment.

But the closed door in the little corner moved.

Bi Lan immediately took two steps back and saw a window on the corner door open, revealing the face of a slightly weathered woman.

No matter who came, the man just rolled his eyes and looked at Bilan up and down, his eyes were very unscrupulous.

Bilan frowned and said to the palace maid: "Tell me that I'm here and I have something to tell you."

Hearing these words, the man closed the window with a cold face, and then the sound of footsteps was heard immediately.

Apparently this person went in to report.

Bi Lan felt a little uncomfortable and turned around to look around. She knew there was a contact point here, but this was her first time here, and she was not sure when that person would come back. She stood here alone, feeling a little anxious.

"Empress, that man is back!"

When Bi Lan heard about it, she immediately turned around and looked over. Sure enough, she saw the corner door moving, and then the door opened.

The person who greeted her was not the woman guarding the door just now, but a palace maid dressed in ordinary clothes.

Bilan immediately pulled away and went in, and the man immediately closed the door: "Mom, go this way."

Entering an empty room, the palace maid opened a mechanism on the bookcase, and the cabinet opened on both sides to reveal a passage.

Bilan stared at the passage, which was illuminated by torches and led to an unknown direction.

"Where is this taking me?"

Bi Lan asked first without leaving.

When the palace maid heard this, she shook her hand and just let Bilan go in.

The confidant maid next to Bi Lan said: "Our queen wants to tell your master some important news, but we don't have time to waste time with you and let your master come out!"

When the palace maid heard this, she knew she couldn't convince Bi Lan, so she withdrew without saying a word.

When Bi Lan saw that she was gone, she hurriedly chased after her and walked out from behind the door. The palace maid who was guarding the door just now walked out.

The palace maid shook her legs, walked in and closed the door.

"My dear, I'm worried that the walls have ears. How about you go in and say something if you have something to say?"

Bi Lan would rather the palace maid just speak than talk to this palace maid.

But the palace maid had already stepped forward and gave Bilan an ultimatum: "If you don't want to go in, please go back. You have not been here today, and I have not seen you."

Bilan knew that if she didn't say anything now, she would know it later, and she wouldn't be able to get this good thing.

So he gritted his teeth and walked in. After following the lame palace maid, he saw the door of the secret passage closed.

"Don't worry, it can be opened from the inside."

Bilan had no choice but to follow in, turned along a long corridor that was only one person high and two people wide, and came to an underground room.

There are beds, cabinets, tables and chairs in this room. Everything is arranged and the quilts are neatly stacked. It is obvious that someone lives down here.

Bilan looked at the lame palace maid, guessing that the person living here must be this person. "Don't you have something to say? Say it now."

Bi Lan immediately stared at the palace maid coldly: "I want to talk to your master, not you, let her come."

The lame palace maid chuckled and said, "My queen, I am the one who has been contacting you from the beginning to the end."

Bilan still didn't believe it, so the lame palace maid said: "After your Majesty entered the palace, it was I who sent you a message, asking you to please the Queen Mother. That was our first contact, and your Majesty never forgot it?"

Bilan stared at the lame palace maid with wide eyes. She didn't seem to be very old, but her hair was gray and her appearance was haggard. However, judging from her facial features, she should have been a pretty girl when she was young.

"Well, today I happened to see the prime minister coming into the palace covered in blood. I felt that something was wrong, so I came to tell him."

"Have you breathed your last?"

Bilan was shocked when she heard this. Although she secretly guessed that this incident might have something to do with the people behind it, now it seems that they were bold enough to murder the prime minister!

"No injuries..."

The lame palace maid lowered her head and thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Find an opportunity to find out what His Majesty and the Prime Minister are discussing and tell me."

"By the way, don't come looking for me, just send someone here."

As she said that, the lame maid took another look at the confidant maid next to Bi Lan.

Bilan knew what she meant and said, "Okay, let me out and I'll go back immediately."

The lame palace maid did not stop her, and immediately opened the secret passage to prevent Bilan from being discovered.

Bi Lan returned all the way to Shufang Pavilion, but she didn't expect that Shen Yanzhi was already waiting inside.

"My beloved concubine, where have you been? They all said they didn't see you when I came. I'm so worried that the imperial army will look for you!"

Bi Lan calmed down her emotions and immediately walked up with a smile: "I was scared when I saw the Prime Minister like that, so I was taken to sit by the lake in the Imperial Garden for a while, and then I came here after I calmed down."

When Shen Yanzhi heard about it, he looked worried and said, "If you're scared, just tell me no. It's actually more scary to sit over there alone?"

After saying that, he took Bilan's hand and asked her to sit next to him.

Bi Lan turned her eyes and looked at Shen Yanzhi, smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay, Prime Minister?"

"Oh, he's fine. I heard he said he was ambushed outside. Fortunately, he was cautious and prepared bodyguards for himself, so he escaped."

"Your Majesty must be worried, right? If Your Majesty hadn't ordered the Prime Minister to enter the palace overnight, he wouldn't have experienced this disaster."

Hearing this, Shen Yanzhi chuckled and said, "My dear concubine, what you say is unreasonable. You don't blame the person who wants to harm the prime minister, but you blame me!"

Bilan also smiled and said: "Every cause must have an effect. Since Your Majesty said so, I don't know if the murderer has been caught?"

Shen Yanzhi shook his head and said: "It's true that the prime minister is the one who wanted to kill him. The person who wanted to kill him was his henchman. He didn't leave anyone alive for interrogation. The bodyguard stabbed him to death with an arrow. Who should he look for? We can only investigate slowly. ”

Bi Lan heard about it and felt that she probably knew the matter, but she still felt that she didn't ask the lame palace maid what she wanted to know.

However, Shen Yanzhi was very taboo about this as it related to national affairs. If he asked, Shen Yanzhi would be suspicious.

Bi Lan thought for a while and said: "What has Your Majesty been busy with these days? You don't come to accompany me all day long. I am so lonely!"

When Shen Yanzhi heard this, he smiled slightly, looked at Bilan and said, "Your family's affairs have been settled. I am preparing to do something big, but I don't have a clue yet, so I won't tell you."
