Chuxiu Palace

Meng'er had not returned yet, and Concubine Lan became more and more restless. She began to pace back and forth in the palace anxiously.

Xiulua looked at the distressed Concubine Lan and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Why not drink some more tea to calm your nerves." As she spoke, she turned the teapot and added another cup of hot tea.

Concubine Lan rolled her eyes at her in annoyance and said, "Go away, I can't drink any more. I'm telling you a place, you need to go right now!"

Xiuluan lowered her head and said, "Yes."

After Concubine Lan told Xiulua where to go to the pavilion, Xiulua retreated.

Looking at Xiuluan's departing figure, Lan Fei shouted loudly, "Take two more people with you!"

Xiuluan turned around and said, "I understand, Madam."

So Xiulua brought two young palace maids with them, holding lamps, and slowly came to the place that Concubine Lan mentioned.

But from a distance, it seemed that no one was there, and the little palace maid said, "Sister Xiuluan, there seems to be no one in the pavilion in front."

Xiuluan said, "What can you see clearly in the middle of the night? How could there be no one here? The Queen said that Meng'er and Xiao Gengzi clearly came here."

The little maid had no choice but to bow her head and say "Yes..."

But as I got closer, I found that there was indeed no one in the pavilion.

Xiuluan looked at the empty pavilion and asked in confusion, "Strange? Why is there no one here? Where are Meng'er and Xiao Gengzi?"

The two maids shook their heads. "I don't know..."

Xiuluan suggested, "How about this, let's split up and look for it. Whether we find it or not, we can meet in this pavilion in half an hour."

The two maids said, "Yes."

So the three of them began to act separately.

As for Xiao Gengzi, he couldn't open his eyes because of the burning sensation in his eyes. However, relying on his many years of experience in the palace, he kept groping in the alley and finally got out!

But he went in the wrong direction.

Just going in the opposite direction of the three people who were looking for him!

Little Gengzi thought that he would succeed in getting out of the alley, but he found that there was nothing to touch and there was nothing around him.

He was lost, grasping at random, not knowing where to go...

Until he touched a big tree, and then he walked along the row of trees.

"When I get out, I will not let that dishevelled-haired woman go! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find her!"

Little Gengzi continued to curse.

As he was walking, the tree beside him suddenly disappeared. Little Gengzi continued to grope, but found nothing!

Without the big tree, little Gengzi lost his way again and walked aimlessly. If he was not careful, he would be tripped by the protruding stones under his feet!

"Ouch, I tripped to death! Which bastard built this road!!" Little Gengzi was angry and yelled

After calming down, Xiao Gengzi continued to walk forward, but ended up stepping on dog poop again...

"What is that? Why are my feet sticky?" Little Gengzi asked puzzledly, until he suddenly touched the railing with his open hands as he walked.

Little Gengzi said excitedly, "That's great. I can walk with the handrail again. Oh, damn, I don't even know where I am!"

After little Gengzi touched the railing, he climbed onto the bridge along it. However, what little Gengzi didn't know was that one of the railings of the bridge was broken and it had not been repaired yet. They just put up a big wooden sign as a reminder.

However, at this moment, little Gengzi couldn't open his eyes, so he didn't see the words on the sign beside the bridge.

"What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm getting higher and higher? Did I get on a bridge? Could it be the Tianshui Bridge? Hahaha, once we get on the Tianshui Bridge, we'll be not far from Chuxiu Palace!"

Little Gengzi mistook this dangerous bridge for the Tianshui Bridge.

He felt very insecure because he couldn't see, so he walked closely along the railing.

Suddenly, the handrail loosened, and the dog shit under his feet slipped! Little Gengzi fell from the highest point of the bridge and fell into the water! There were huge splashes!

Little Gengzi frantically thrashed in the water, "How did I fall into the water? I can only punch and kick a little, but I can't swim!"

So he shouted for help, "Help! Help me! Help! Is there anyone here..."

The guard who was patrolling here, because he was greedy for wine, secretly took the wine jug with others and drank a few more glasses. When he heard someone calling for help, the guard ran away!

I ran to the lake to check, only to find someone had fallen off the bridge and was struggling in the water.

The guard's face was red and he reeked of alcohol. If he rescued the man now, the guard commander would definitely blame him for drinking and neglecting his duties!

Just the day before yesterday, he was reprimanded by the commander for being drunk. The commander was so angry that he said that if it happened again, he would be dismissed from his position!

But the area was remote and few people came, so patrolling was really boring. He couldn't help but have two more drinks with his brothers...

After the guard thought about it for a while, the struggling movements of the man in the water became weaker and weaker, as if he had no strength left.

The guard just took a few steps forward when he found that the man in the water had sunk!

At this moment, the guard couldn't help but think that if this person had fallen, he was the guard responsible for patrolling here, and he failed to discover the incident in time and stop it, causing the person to fall into the water. Even if he was not dismissed from his position, he would inevitably be beaten!

But if this person committed suicide by jumping into the lake, the unlucky one should be the person who fell into the lake, not himself! After all, in the palace, it is a serious crime for palace maids and eunuchs to commit suicide!

With this in mind, the guard let Xiao Gengzi sink into the water. When Xiao Gengzi floated up again, he was already a cold corpse...

the other side

Half an hour passed, and the three palace maids still had nothing to show for it, so they all returned to the pavilion where they started at the agreed time.

Xiuluan looked at the two young palace maids who also returned empty-handed and said, "Didn't you two find anything?"

The two maids shook their heads. "No..."

Xiuluan slapped her forehead in disappointment and said, "Have you looked carefully? How could you not find them? How could two living people be lost?"

After all, if she couldn't find it, how would she report to Concubine Lan?

The young palace maids were embarrassed and said, "Sister Xiuluan, we have searched carefully and there is really no one..."

Xiuluan sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's go back to the palace first and report to Her Majesty. Her Majesty is still waiting for news."

Just like that, the three returned to Chuxiu Palace with nothing.

When Concubine Lan saw that they had returned empty-handed, she was immediately furious! "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of keeping you here! Go! Send a few more people to look for it! Go quickly!!"
