Qing court ladies

Chapter 91
Qingmei didn't understand the meaning of Linxiang's rhetorical question, she was at a loss for a moment, she wanted to speak, but found that she wanted to say a lot, but she couldn't utter a single word, she instantly understood "Yeah, I just want to, where did you come from?"

"If any of us had something to do today, what would Su Yue do?" Linxiang asked quietly.

Qing Mei didn't even think about it, and blurted out "desperate everything." Then she suddenly stopped, met Lin Xiang's eyes, and smiled happily.

"Ah" Qingmei focused on talking to Linxiang, and the leaves blocked the moonlight, the path was dark, she stepped on something suddenly, almost slipped, she exclaimed, Linxiang grabbed her and helped her stabilize her figure.

After standing still, Qingmei kicked it again, and found that there were many things under her feet, "Auntie, you have a fire bag, there are things on the ground"

Hearing this, Linxiang took out a torch from his sleeve and lit it, squatting down to protect the flame, and shining it on the ground.But some smashed vegetables and baskets.

Qingmei picked up the basket and looked at it several times, "Auntie, why does this basket look familiar to me?"

Linxiang took a look and said, "Most of the baskets in the palace are the same, so they are no strangers."

Qingmei stared fixedly at the white tassels hanging on the edge of the basket, her eyes widened suddenly, "Auntie, this basket belongs to Su Yue."

"Ah, how do you know?" Linxiang snatched the basket and checked it repeatedly, but he didn't notice any difference between this basket and the others.

Qingmei tore off a piece of white tassel hanging on the side of the basket, and suddenly lost her mind, "This is a gift from Si Ye and Ba Ye to Su Yue on Su Yue's 20th birthday. It is a tassel made of ice silk mixed with white fox fur. These years, Suyue has never left her body, and such tassels are unique in the world." Qingmei crushed the tassels and handed them to Linxiang, the entangled white fox fur inside glowed under the fire.

Linxiang glanced at it, and found it quite familiar, so he naturally believed Qingmei's words "then Suyue is here" was attacked, Linxiang didn't say it, but both of them understood the meaning.

Qingmei tightly held the tassel, her brows were furrowed deeply. Originally, they only guessed that something happened to Su Yue, and silently hoped that all this was not true. Can't lie to myself anymore.

Linxiang held a fire bag, and squatted on the ground to fiddle with the trampled vegetables. The trampled leaves had vegetable juices, and the lush leaves covered the place, and the ground was wet, leaving footprints on the ground.

"Qingmei, come and see." Linxiang beckoned, holding a fire bag and squatting forward, there were indeed messy footprints on the ground, although shallow, but to them, it was the biggest surprise.

Qingmei followed Linxiang closely, and walked out of the woods following those footprints. Out of the woods was a bluestone road, extending in all directions, with different destinations in several directions, and those footprints, which were originally shallow, had no traces to follow on the bluestone road. .

The glimmer of hope that rose in Qingmei's heart was suddenly shattered, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and asked, "Auntie, what should I do now? The footprints are gone."

Linxiang looked around and found that the left side of this place leads to the imperial garden, the left front is the Tongqian Qing Palace, and the two rear doors lead to the harem. The left side is obviously impossible, but the two right doors lead to something. The sixteenth palace, there is no clue now, trying to find someone in the east and west sixteenth palace is simply harder than going to heaven, let alone how to confirm that Suyue is in that palace, even if it is confirmed, with the two servants, how can they It is possible to break in.

Qingmei looked at the thoughtful Linxiang, and she became even more frightened, she had no idea at all, if Linxiang couldn't help it, what would Suyue do?
"Aunt..." Qingmei tugged Linxiang's sleeve lightly, and called out pitifully.

Linxiang looked at Qingmei sideways, and said firmly in his eyes, "Let's go ask Concubine Liang, didn't you say that Concubine Yi and Su Yue also have a friendship? Let's try, even if we can't ask for the help of the two, we must Go and make sure that Su Yue is not with them."

Qingmei's eyes widened in horror, and she stammered, "Auntie, do you mean that the two ladies will also harm Su Yue?"

Linxiang sighed, "People's hearts are unpredictable, we still have to prepare early."

Qingmei was even more frightened, her body trembled a little, and she followed Linxiang in a daze.

"Qingmei, is the crown prince in the palace today?" Linxiang asked suddenly, and blamed Linxiang for being anxious, forgetting about this, although Long Live Lord is not in the palace, but the crown prince is, and something like this happened , the prince will never ignore it.

Qing Mei suddenly heard the name of the prince, she was overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I will go to ask the prince, the prince is good, I will definitely help."

Linxiang glanced at Qingmei suspiciously, seeing Qingmei's joyful expression, the corners of her eyes were full of spring light, she had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't think deeply about it, and said, "Okay, you go and ask the crown prince, I'll go see Concubine Yi With the concubine Liang, we will meet up later."

Qingmei was over excited, nodded and hurriedly ran away, Linxiang still wanted to explain a few words, looking at Qingmei's back, she could only swallow her words.

People in the palace used to love to place people by the side of Long Live Lord, Linxiang has already seen it quite often, now looking at Qingmei's appearance, Linxiang is more worried, but right now Linxiang can't take care of it anymore, he is busy going to Liangfei Palace go in.

The night was dark, the palace lanterns under the corridor were shaken by the wind, and the ground was blurry. Linxiang was out of breath when he arrived at the palace gate. Looking at the eunuch guarding the gate under the palace lantern, he said, "Qingqing Palace Linxiang, please see the concubine Liang, please Pass on behalf of"

The eunuch looked at Linxiang, bowed his head and nodded, "Slave will go right away."

Lin Xiang stood at the door and tidied his clothes. Lin Xiang walked quickly along the way, and the road was dark and unclear, which caused Lin Xiang to be a little embarrassed at this time. Lin Xiang tidied himself up before he had time to look at the palace gate.Since Linxiang entered the palace, he has been serving the Lord Long Live, and the number of times he has entered the harem is very small, but this does not prevent Linxiang from knowing the affairs of the palace.

Concubine Liang used to have a low status and lived in another palace. She moved to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace after mentioning the position of concubine. There are also two nobles who entered the palace a few years ago, Mr. , these two people were originally from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, so they are naturally not as arrogant as the aunts and grandmothers in the Eight Banners, and they lived in harmony with Concubine Liang.

"Girl, Madam wants to see you" the eunuch who notified came back and said in a low voice.

Lin Xiang nodded, watched the people inside come out, lit the corridor lamp, and realized in his heart that it was getting late, it seemed that Concubine Liang had already gone to bed, and was called up again.Lin Xiangdun felt that the rumors in the palace were true, Concubine Liang was really soft-tempered, and she was not displeased at being woken up by the slaves in the middle of the night.

Linxiang walked in, and a palace maid greeted her in front of the hall, saying, "Auntie, please."

Linxiang was brought to the main hall, Concubine Liang was sitting in the hall wearing a cloak, Linxiang stepped forward to salute, "Slave Linxiang, please greet the concubine Liang, slave girl deserves to die, rashly disturbing your mother's rest"

Concubine Liang smiled lightly, she was very glamorous. Even though many people entered the harem these years, Concubine Liang was still favored, and it was not unreasonable for her status to keep rising. When she came out, she was smaller, with a delicate face, and her amiable complexion looked a little more beautiful, not inferior to those young concubines in the slightest.

"Get up, I think you must have something important to do?" Concubine Liang's voice was a little hoarse, apparently she had slept soundly, but when she woke up suddenly, she was still not quite used to it, Concubine Liang took a sip of the tea cup, moistened Soothe your throat.

Linxiang not only didn't get up, but knelt on the ground and said, "My maidservant is bothering the empress, but there are very important things, please ask the empress to retreat from the crowd, and the maidservant has something important to report."

Linxiang's kneeling startled Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang put down the teacup, waved to make people back, and said, "Get up first."

Linxiang watched the people go out, the door was closed, and said softly, "Madam, Suyue has been taken captive, and the servants know that Madam is kind-hearted and have a good relationship with Suyue, so they dare to come to ask Madam for help."

Concubine Liang turned pale, stood up excitedly and asked, "What did you say? How did you know Su Yue was taken captive, and where did she go?"

"Your Majesty, I have been looking for Suyue with Qingmei who is next to Suyue all night. I found Suyue's dropped basket in the forest behind the imperial dining room. Duanluo is there, Suyue must have been taken captive, and the servants really have no other choice, so they came to beg for the empress." Lin Xiangfu said, his tone choked.

Concubine Liang saw that Linxiang spoke so sincerely, she knew that it was true, but she didn't know what she could do, so she asked, "What are you begging me for?"

"The servant found the footprints in the forest and found the outside of the forest, but there are four gates leading to different places. It is impossible for the imperial garden and the Qianqing Palace. Only the Sixteenth Palace of East and West is the biggest suspect. The servant wants to ask The empress visits the empresses of each palace to see who has captured Suyue." Lin Xiang raised his head and looked at Concubine Liang, calmly.

Concubine Liang looked at Linxiang for a while and asked, "Is my palace also suspected?"

Linxiang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, not to mention that your Majesty and Su Yue are on good terms. If you want to do such a thing, you don't have to spend so much trouble. That's why the servants came to beg your Majesty."

Concubine Liang looked at Linxiang, feeling a little angry in her heart, the feeling of being suspected was the most unbearable for Concubine Liang, but Concubine Liang also understood that Lin Xiang could only let go of the frankness brought about by kneeling in front of her. , said: "The night is already dark, I must have some excuse to visit the ladies at this time, you have already thought about it."

Linxiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, just say that Suyue is gone."

Concubine Liang looked at Lin Xiang in surprise, and it took him a while to realize that Lin Xiang's move was to scare the snake, if there was a ghost in his heart, he would definitely make a move, and naturally it would be easy to reveal his flaws, but this move was so dangerous, Concubine Liang didn't care about it for a while. Dare to answer.Concubine Liang has a soft heart. Suyue's caring feelings for Yinhu back then, and later passed on for their mother and son. These friendships were a great favor to the former Concubine Liang. Now that Suyue has an accident, she is very happy to help , I can finally pay back one or two.But because of this, Concubine Liang was afraid that she would harm Su Yue with her kindness, so she naturally hesitated.

Linxiang looked at the worry in Concubine Liang's eyebrows, and finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and said, "Suyue has been captive for a long time, if we can't rescue him as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will find her, and Suyue will be gone, Concubine Liang, The servant is begging you"

Compared with hiding and pinching the search, the trick of scaring the snake is better, but the danger is also greater. Concubine Liang thought for a while, and said, "In this case, I will accept you, but where do you go first? idea"

"Empress Yifei" Linxiang blurted out. On the way here, Linxiang had already thought about it. If Concubine Liang made her feel at ease, then she also wanted to try Concubine Yi. For a moment, Linxiang still wanted to believe in people's hearts .

"Sister Yifei has a straightforward temper. If there is Sister Yifei, we will have more ideas. Well, then it will be settled like this. I will serve Bengong to change clothes and let Yunzhu pass the pass. Wang Cheng and Yunyu are both People around the palace, what can you tell them to do?" Concubine Liang turned and went into the inner room after finishing speaking.

Linxiang opened the door to let Yunzhu in, called Wang Cheng and Yunyu again, and ordered Yunyu to report to Concubine Yi, and asked Wang Chengyin to observe in the dark, and if there was any movement, follow to check.

As soon as Linxiang finished giving her orders, Concubine Liang was already helped out by Yunzhu. Concubine Liang simply tied up her hair, put on a coat and a cloak.Linxiang looked at it and felt a little strange, but he didn't ask, and walked out behind Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang brought a lot of people, and the dim bluestone road was illuminated, and the whole group was mighty.
