pungent peasant girl

Chapter 226 The woman asking for help

It seemed that in just an instant, Concubine Yi became the same as before.

It seemed that the dazed expression just now was just dazzled by Qianyan.

Back in Heng'an Palace, Concubine Yi started to embroider her Longevity Picture, Meng Qianyan stood aside and helped her straighten out the golden threads.

She followed the thread quietly, always feeling that Concubine Yi was looking at her, but when she raised her head, Concubine Yi was seriously embroidering again.

She felt vaguely uneasy.

Chen Baoyi's life in the cell should be getting more and more difficult, and there are more and more rumors in the palace, and various discussions come and go.

Concubine Yi probably got tired of hearing it or got scared, she said she was sick in Heng'an Palace, she didn't even go to Ding Xing every morning and evening, she started to eat very little food, sometimes even her eyes were in a trance.

At noon, the food on the table was removed again, Meng Qianyan sighed, and couldn't help but said: "Madam, are you really not going to eat more? This is not good for your health."

"I'm fine, I just don't have an appetite. You can also see how people outside talk about our Heng'an Palace. It's clear that there is nothing wrong with our Heng'an Palace."

Yifei said, feeling aggrieved.

Meng Qianyan understood her worries and stopped persuading her.

"Okay, you are tired, go to sleep, I will fall asleep by myself in a while." Yi Fei said, took a key and opened the door of the next room.

Meng Qianyan retreated to the door, and heard Concubine Yi talking to herself, "Hey, when was this door locked? Alas, it doesn't matter if it's locked, so many of my important things are all inside."

Hearing these words, Meng Qianyan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and at the same time took another look in the direction of that room.

As far as she knew, it was not a strange room, and it was just the guy's style she used for embroidery. How could she say such a sentence without thinking.

Concubine Yi opened the door and went in.

Meng Qianyan also left the room.

For the dinner in the evening, Concubine Yi took it away without making any move.

Meng Qianyan had no choice but to see that the night was getting late, so he went back to his room and lay down.

However, when she lay down, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Time flies, she has been in the palace for more than half a month, and there are only two months left before the Queen Mother's birthday. After two months, if there is still no evidence, then the second uncle is very happy. It is possible to be asked to beheaded.

Thinking of this, she sat up again.

She thought of the room where the embroidery was kept, and of Concubine Yi's lack of thinking during the day.

Or, because of several days of pressure, Concubine Yi has already become suffocated and in a trance, so she undoubtedly slipped her mouth?
She didn't know how likely it was, but whenever possible, she should go and see it.

That room, on the inner side of Concubine Yi's inner bedroom, was actually a room she had never entered before.

She got up and stuck to the crack of the door, listening to the movements of Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi seemed to be turning over, tossing and turning over and over again.

But soon, he also fell into sleep, where only the sound of steady breathing remained.

She tiptoed out of bed and pushed open the door of Concubine Yi's inner bedroom.

Concubine Yi turned on the lamp, the room was pitch black, only the faint moonlight reflected the outline of all the furnishings in the room, she found the door of that room according to her usual memory.

After groping, it is locked.

She followed the position where Concubine Yi was holding the key, found the key, gently opened the lock, and walked in slowly.

There were no windows in this room, so there was no moonlight, and she couldn't see what it was like inside.So she had to light a candle and go in again.

The candles lit up the room, and the scent of the candles spread.

Meng Qianyan's heart was beating wildly, for fear of being discovered by someone.

She flipped through the cabinets, drawers, and the sewing box in the corner one by one.

But, nothing.

"How come? Is it really for nothing?" She murmured.

She didn't believe it, she looked around again.

Suddenly, she saw that under her feet, there was a brick with some obedient joints, and the joints of this brick seemed to be wider than other places.

She squatted down and moved vigorously.She picked up that brick. Under the brick, there was actually a hidden compartment. There were some letters in the dark compartment. She picked it up one by one to read.

I saw that Chen Baoyi's name was written on several of them.

Her heart sank, and finally, she finally found it.

However, at this moment, there was a slight noise coming from outside, she subconsciously looked outside, only to see Concubine Yi's shadow reflected on the wall, Concubine Yi sat up again.

With a thud in her heart, she blew out the candle in an instant, and rolled outside in a rolling manner.

It was pitch black outside, she curled up in the corner, watching the shadow of Concubine Yi getting higher and closer to her.

Just as her feet stood in front of her, Concubine Yi turned around again, sighed deeply, and went back to the bed.

After such a toss, Meng Qianyan was almost scared out of his wits, he didn't dare to move again, he maintained that posture for an hour, and confirmed that Concubine Yi had fallen asleep again.

He quickly locked the door and left quickly.

That night, she tossed and turned and slept very badly, but she didn't dare to go into that room again. She didn't know what would happen to her if she was found out.

The next day, Meng Qianyan stared at the two big dark circles under his eyes, and took care of Concubine Yi's daily life.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to eat? Then take it away?"

"Well, let's go, I don't have much appetite."

After a few days of poor appetite, Yifei lost a lot of weight and looked not energetic.

At this time, Aunt Yin came in from the outside and saluted, "Madam, there are people outside who want to see you."

"Oh? Who is it?" Concubine Yi looked outside.

"It's a court lady."Aunt Yin answered, but her eyes flickered.

Concubine Yi seemed to understand something, and waved her hand to Meng Qianyan, "Taohua, you go down first, and go to the Imperial Clothing Workshop to get some gold thread."

Meng Qianyan went out, but didn't go far, but handed over the task of fetching the gold thread to Luoying, and then stayed at the base of the back door, listening to the movement inside.

Inside, a person dressed as a court lady broke into the door and knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered, "Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty..."

Concubine Yi exclaimed, "Biao sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Madam, my master was arrested and taken to Shuntian Mansion, and his house was confiscated. Originally, I didn't dare to do anything. However, yesterday, the elder of Shuntian Mansion arrested our family and interrogated them again, saying that our master committed a crime." He has committed a lot of crimes of deceiving the emperor, and he wants to punish the nine clans." The woman cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, "Madam, I don't expect to save the master, but we must keep our children and two daughters! I beg your mother You, think of a way to save the children!"
