Qing court ladies

Chapter 90
Linxiang swayed, almost unable to stand, her mind was in chaos, Suyue's personality, Linxiang knew that she would not be like this, not to mention that Linxiang had been in the palace for many years, so he understood the turbulence and cunning, if someone wanted to It's not good for Suyue, this is the best chance, all the people who can help Suyue are not in the palace, it's not because of them.

"Auntie, what should we do? If something happens to Suyue, Auntie..." Qingmei pulled Linxiang tightly, like a straw in the ocean.

Linxiang looked at Qingmei who was already flustered, and quickly calmed down, "It's okay, don't be afraid, maybe Suyue is okay at all? Didn't you say that Suyue asked you to have dinner? Then did you go to the imperial dining room to look for it?" ?”

After hearing this, Qingmei realized that she had forgotten that the dishes in Suyue Courtyard used to be delivered by the imperial dining room. Since Kangxi left the palace, the rumors that Suyue fell out of favor spread widely, and the errand runners in the imperial dining room did not deliver anything. If Su Yue wanted to make dinner for her, she would have to go to the imperial dining room to get the ingredients, Qingmei was overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged Linxiang to the imperial dining room.

Linxiang looked at the joy on Qingmei's face, and felt even heavier. Now that it has been changed, even if Suyue gets the ingredients, it will not take so long. The only possibility is that something happened to Suyue, but even though Linxiang is a Qing Palace The first-class maids in the palace are not masters after all, so there is no other way, not to mention those who can move Suyue, they will definitely not be small characters. Looking at this palace, they simply have nowhere to ask for help. Women in the harem, who doesn't hate Suyue who has been favored all these years Junqian, I can't wait for Su Yue to die, who will help them?
Linxiang felt a wave of despair, and was dragged by Qingmei to the imperial dining room, Linxiang had a glimmer of hope in despair, hoping that Suyue really did not explain what she did this time, and did not leave in the imperial dining room.

As soon as Qingmei arrived at the imperial dining room, she began to pull people to ask if she had seen Suyue. Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Qingmei rushed in directly, "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, are you there?"

Zhu Da was cooking on the last stove, when he heard someone shout, he hurriedly responded, handed the things in his hands to the little eunuch beside him, and walked out.

As soon as Qingmei saw Zhu Da, she rushed forward, pulled Zhu Da and asked, "Director Zhu, has Su Yue been here before, where is she?"

Zhu Da looked at Qingmei in front of him, and said with a smile, "Qingmei, you girl is still so reckless. Suyue came to get the ingredients and went back a long time ago. Why did you come here to find someone?"

When Qingmei heard this, her legs softened, she sat on the ground, and muttered to herself, "She went back, but I couldn't find her"

Zhu Da was shocked and stretched out his hand to pick up Qingmei, Linxiang also helped him and said to Zhu Da, "Mr. Zhu, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhu Da also obviously felt that something was wrong, nodded his head hurriedly, and helped Qingmei walk to the cubicle.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Zhu Da asked as soon as he entered the door.

Linxiang closed the door before saying, "Suyue is gone."

"What do you mean by missing?" Zhu Da didn't quite understand.

"That means Suyue is missing. Do you still remember when and where did Suyue leave after she came here?" Linxiang comforted Qingmei and asked Zhu Da in general.

Zhu Da let go of his hanging smile, and slowly recalled, "When Su Yue came, we chatted for a while, and then Empress Defei came to give orders, so I left and called a little eunuch to take Su Yue with her. Yue went to the vegetable room, as for when Suyue will leave, I don’t know, I have been busy until now and have never rested, so I have not cared about Suyue.”

After Linxiang listened, the bad feeling in his heart became even bigger, "Do you remember which eunuch took Su Yue to the kitchen?"

Zhu Da scratched his head, thought for a while and shook his head, "At that time, he was only busy with his work, and didn't pay attention to the man's appearance." After thinking for a while, "By the way, that eunuch seems to be very thin, and he kept his head down, so I didn't see him at all." his appearance"

After Linxiang listened, the bad feeling in his heart spread even bigger, "So, there must be something wrong, Manager Zhu took us to the kitchen, we have to look for the traces left by Suyue"

Zhu Da also agreed, only Qingmei was almost crushed "Auntie, something must have happened to Su Yue, what should we do, who can we ask for help"

Linxiang was quite calm, and comforted Qingmei, "Now we have to find out where Suyue has disappeared, or where he has gone, so that we can have a goal to find, and then we can find someone to help. Qingmei, you have to calm down, otherwise how can we Are you going to find Su Yue?"

Under Linxiang's comfort, Qingmei gradually calmed down, and followed Zhu Da to the kitchen, but because Concubine De suddenly wanted to prepare meals in the imperial dining room today, the imperial dining room was very busy, and the eunuch in the kitchen also helped to deliver the food, so she didn't see Su Yue .

The three of them were at a loss, they searched around the vegetable room for several times, but they had no clue, as it was getting late, the hearts of the three of them gradually sank, and they knew that Su Yue must have been in danger, but no one dared to Speak first.

The moon is just in the sky, and the sky and the earth are covered with hazy white gauze, especially on the gold bricks of the Forbidden City, against the moonlight, the scenery is beautiful, but no one appreciates such a beauty.

The sound of "bang" seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere of the vegetable room, and the depressive sound of weeping, accompanied by the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind, was particularly terrifying.

"Qingmei, get up quickly" Linxiang has been paying attention to Qingmei. When Qingmei fell, he turned around and walked back, and rushed to Qingmei's side. Hearing Qingmei's suppressed crying, the pain in his heart became more and more painful, but he held back and helped Qingmei up. .

Qingmei knelt on the ground, held Linxiang's hand tightly, looked up at Linxiang with tears in her eyes and asked, "Auntie, something happened to Suyue, right?"

Lin Xiang was startled, forced to laugh, and wanted to comfort Qing Mei, but she couldn't speak, and slowly squatted in front of Qing Mei, speechless.

Qingmei smiled knowingly, with endless despair, her head that was originally high gradually lowered, and she said to herself, "What should we do?"

Lin Xiang didn't know how to answer, the two just held hands like this and each was speechless. When Lin Xiang rushed back, Zhu Da also followed, watching Lin Xiang and Qing Mei talking, his chubby face wrinkled into a ball , the heart is no less than two people flustered.They are all insignificant servants in this deep palace, so what should they do?What can be done?
"No, I'm going to find Suyue. Even if I break into palaces one by one, I still want to find her. If I can't save her, then it's better to die together." Qingmei suddenly broke away from Linxiang's hand, stood up alone, and The face is firm.

Linxiang was beaten by Qingmei, and his body was a little unstable. Zhu Da helped Linxiang up, glanced at Qingmei appreciatively, and said proudly, "That's right, isn't there a book saying that jade is broken, why not?" Zhu Da was originally arrogant and dry, but he couldn't say a word completely, so he was inevitably discouraged.

However, Linxiang was amused, and he pulled Qingmei and Zhu Da to nod with a shallow smile, "Mr. It’s just a lifetime of regret, why not be more vigorous.”

The three looked at each other and smiled, calm in their hearts.

Now that the three had made up their minds, they discussed on the spot.After all, Linxiang was more familiar with the palace than the other two, so he said first, "Since we have decided to enter the palace, we must first think about where Su Yue is most likely to be trapped, otherwise we are afraid that we will be trapped as soon as we go, and we cannot If the three of you get stuck in one place and don't meet Su Yue, it's not worth it, so you have to separate to have a better chance of winning."

"Ah aunt, can we go to ask the concubine Liang, Su Yue has always been good friends with the eighth elder brother, and is also very close to the concubine Liang, the empress has been promoted over the years, Su Yue goes to congratulate her every time, and usually goes to accompany her Empress, if we go to ask for the empress, Miss, you can see that there is a chance of success, and I remember Suyue said that the empress Yifei once promised Suyue, if Suyue has a request in the future, the empress Yifei will definitely help her." Listening to Linxiang's analysis, Qingmei suddenly remembered Concubine Liang and Concubine Yi that Suyue had mentioned.

"There is also Suyue's Ama. Master Zhang Lu has been in the palace for many years, so he must have connections. If someone from Master Zhang Lu can help us inquire, we will have a better chance of finding Suyue." Zhu Da also thought of Suyue's father When Zhu Da entered the palace at the beginning of the year, he also met Zhang Lu a few times, and he knew that no one in the palace had any relationship. After all, Zhang Lu had been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years, and now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has The eighth elder brother is in charge. If Zhang Luneng uses the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help inquire, maybe the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay more attention to Suyue's friendship with the eighth elder brother.

Linxiang lowered his head and thought, "It's easy to add flowers to the cake, but it's difficult to give charcoal in the snow. What's more, those who dare to kidnap Su Yue in the palace must have a high status. Will they offend the master for a maid who is no longer favored?"

Listening to Linxiang's words, Qingmei couldn't hide her anger, and gave a cold "hum".Although she knew what Linxiang said was true, Qingmei still felt uncomfortable.

Zhu Da hurriedly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere, "Auntie, since we have nowhere to go, why not take a gamble?"

When Linxiang heard this, he felt calm, doing his best and obeying the destiny.

"Then let's split up. Manager Zhu's people are about to go out of the palace to transport spring water and vegetables, so I'll trouble you and inform Mrs. Zhang Lu. Qingmei and I will go to see Concubine Liang, and we will split up." Lin Xiang calmly Arranged, Zhu Da and Qing Mei nodded obediently.

"Well, I'm going to prepare to leave the palace now, and you don't go out through the front door, Qingmei knows the way out of the forest, you go this way, avoid the eyes and ears, and be careful." After Zhu Da finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards the two , turned and left.

Qingmei looked at the road in the forest, smiled bitterly and said, "The three of us used to like to sneak here to play"

Linxiang held Qingmei's hand tightly, trying to convey some strength, "Let's go too."

Qingmei nodded gratefully towards Linxiang, the three of them did not really have such a life-and-death friendship with each other, but at this time for Suyue, they were tightly connected without any gaps.

"Auntie, why are you willing to risk your life to run around for Su Yue?" Qing Mei walked side by side with Lin Xiang, asking calmly.

Linxiang turned to look at Qingmei and asked with a smile, "What about you? And why?"
