Su Nv Shu[GL]

Chapter 99

A shrill scream pierced the night sky.

Several nearby houses lit up their lights one by one, and all of them came out holding the fire, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and looked in the direction where the screams came from.The cry was too shocking, but it stopped abruptly.

The old Tai Zai Su Rong commanded the guards at home and said: "Go and investigate."

The voice came from the Xianwang Mansion, and as we all know, it was an empty courtyard.

The old Dazai clenched his fists, not knowing what he was hiding.

Not long after, the guards turned around, carrying a huge pouch on their backs. I don't know what was contained in it, and there was a faint fishy smell: "My lord, it belongs to that family, and I have bitten my tongue."

"Do you believe me?" The old matriarch didn't care about this person's life or death, just asked.

"My subordinates have searched, but haven't seen it. I'm afraid it was taken away by someone." The guard said yes.

The old Dazai thought for a while in the night wind, but there was no anger in his words: "The letter must be recovered, although outsiders should not be able to understand it, but it is not good to leave it outside, you arrange to find it, don't make a big fuss. ——As for this person, deal with it properly so that no one will find out. Take something as a token and return it to the director.”

After saying that, he didn't want to stand up in the night wind, so he gathered the coat that was on his body, turned and went back to the room.The guards bowed their heads and cupped their fists, and then dispersed into the night, each busy.

After all, Dazaifu is the closest to Xianwangfu, and it is the fastest way to send people there.When the other family wanted to investigate, there was only one empty courtyard left.

He Nianxin had already run away with the letter. Even if the guards went to check, at most they could find out that someone had lived in the yard recently, some rooms had been turned over, and some beds were covered with new quilts.He Nianxin tried his best to walk in the dark alley, but before she could hide safely, he saw several figures jumping up from Dazai's mansion and jumping towards his house.

He Nianxin frowned, she didn't like her home being rummaged by these outsiders, but now she can't beat them all, and she can't drive them all out.

"Why is it Dazai again? Am I fighting against their family today?" He Nianxin couldn't help muttering when he remembered that he was also woken up by this servant early in the morning.

Following the alley, He Nianxin found out the many tall houses and deep courtyards here, and finally reached the place where the common people live together.In order to save money for the lamp oil, the small households closed their doors and turned off the lights, and fell into a deep sleep.He Nianxin only needs to avoid the watchman, and he is much lighter.

She staggered back, still clutching the ball of paper in her hand, her hands were itchy, she really wanted to know what was written in the letter.After finally flattening the paper, He Nianxin just glanced at it and was disappointed.

There were only a few words on it, and nothing important was mentioned at all. It was just vaguely written: "The thing is ready. The person's arrangement has not been figured out yet, and there are too few people who can use it at hand. Please ask for instructions."

What was the thing, who was the person, who wrote the letter, and who it was given to, all without mentioning a single word.Even the signature is a weird pattern.He Nianxin looked around, but couldn't see why.

He Nianxin felt that she had made a fuss for nothing, and thought about it again, if there was no such letter, if someone entered and exited her house as if no one was there, she would stop him and ask him what his purpose was.After all, the empty white teeth on the dragon chair slandered his father first, and He Nianxin's nonsense with the masked man just now had some truth mixed in.She was quite worried that this person would push him to the Xian Wang's mansion after he did something bad, and be used by Jin Shang again.

Now King Xian's reputation in Liang Jingcheng has just improved.

The story Huai Xia told was in line with the consistent image of a virtuous king in the minds of the common people. In addition, the barbarians had not arrived for a long time, and now Liang Jingcheng has returned to calm.Although the army has just been sent away today, with high-sounding excuses, the common people can't help discussing it in private.

He Nianxin stayed in Beijing to always listen to what's going on in Beijing. If something went wrong, she had to sneak into the crowd and guide her.

Huaixia asked the sage king to prepare for the Qing emperor's side, but the sage king was noncommittal.He Nianxin really hoped that his father would be able to kill him directly. Then, a prince who raises his troops "on the side of the Qing emperor" must at least have a good reputation among the common people.

He Nianxin read the words on the letter over and over again, but he still couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged, wishing to bring Huaixia back to his side, and let her clever little head think about all these conspiracies and tricks.

Thinking of this, He Nianxin turned around and looked in the direction of the palace.The high palace wall separates the inside and outside of the wall.

He Nianxin has learned kung fu for so many years, and she is no longer the little girl who struggled to climb over the wall.She can jump in even the towering city walls, but it's just a palace wall, so what's the difficulty?It's just that she is really not familiar with the Queen Mother's place, so she hastily flipped in, wondering if it would cause trouble for Huaixia.

He Nianxin felt as if two little people were fighting in his heart, one of them was grabbing her by one ear.The little man holding his left ear shouted: "Why are you so cowardly, how many of those guys in Da Nei can be your opponents! You just need to be careful, don't let people find out! After the palace, there is no news so far, don't you want to know how she is doing now!"

Another little man was nagging: "Before Huaixia left, in order to appease you, how long did you talk to you? To put it bluntly, you still couldn't listen to it with an unhappy face. Huaixia said it all. , This matter may not be resolved quickly this time, so don't be impatient, but you see, you didn't take her words to heart."

He Nianxin was tortured by these two thoughts in his heart, his feet were nailed in place, neither was he running towards the palace, nor was he running towards Beppu.

***

Huai Xia was accompanying the queen mother at this time.

The old lady seemed tired again in the past few days, even the soup offered by Qianqu was only a temporary solution, not the root cause.Huaixia couldn't "cure the root cause" of her disease, all he could do was sit here and listen to her rambling.

Huai Xia is the best listener, she only listens but doesn't talk, and keeps her own and other people's concerns in her heart.

"Miaoyun, it would be great if she could have her sister Qingping—no, half as sensible as you." The old queen leaned back in her chair.

Huaixia learned the technique from her mother, pinching the Queen Mother's legs.She sorted out unknown numbers with little resources, and doing this was nothing more than filial piety, which was better than nothing.Hearing this, she thought for a while before saying, "Minnv is just a child from a poor family who has already taken charge of the family."

"It's not a question of being poor or rich." The queen mother shook her head, "It's just because her mother and concubine are too spoiled. In the future, if there are princes or princesses born in the palace, we must pay attention to it, and we can't call our biological mother any more. I'm so used to it." The Empress Dowager rested her forehead with one hand, her expression flickering.

Huaixia's heart immediately locked on one person - Concubine De.

In fact, Huaixia was quite grateful for her return to the palace, as she thought at the time, only by standing tall can she see far.The clues that can be obtained by wandering among the common people are far inferior to the clues leaked from the words of high-ranking and powerful people when they go deep into the whirlpool.It's just that after all, she put herself in the whirlpool, and now she needs to be extra careful with every move she makes.

Now Huaixia is worrying about other things, she knows a lot, but she has no proper way to send the news to Sister Nianxin, it is still difficult to help Uncle Xianwang in the end.

"Minnv lost her mother, but she is very envious of the princess." Huaixia said in a low voice, "Minnv heard from Princess Qianqu yesterday that Concubine Shu prepared a lot of dowry for Princess Miaoyun, and she really put the princess in It's on the tip of my heart."

"Your words have reminded the Ai family." The Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, and called the nuns outside, and said, "Go and report to the eunuch in charge of the emperor. The emperor has been busy with political affairs recently. But don't forget about Miaoyun's marriage."

Miaoyun's princess mansion has not been conferred yet, and her title has not yet been selected. Now the palace only calls her the second princess, but she cannot be married in such a disgraceful way.This marriage is up to the Empress Dowager, so naturally the Empress Dowager should also be concerned about the follow-up matters.

Mammy took orders to leave.

But Huai Xia thought about it, Miao Yun's marriage was so hasty but still had to take respect into account, presumably the whole palace was busy and turned their backs on their own.I don't know if I can see the opportunity and find a way to send a message to Sister Nianxin?

There was no one around Huaixia available, if he wanted to do this, he could only discuss it with Qianqu.

Qian Qu dragged her away under the name of "Miss Mei" to accompany her to visit the imperial garden, and sat in the gazebo where the two of them learned embroidery back then, longing for a cool breeze.

Huaixia was thinking of a perfect strategy, and he could accurately send the news to He Nianxin, and at the same time prevent Qianqu and himself from being in danger.

Of course there are people who are greedy for money in the palace, but Huai Xia naturally cannot trust those people.Before she could come up with a good idea, she heard Qianqu's maid shouting loudly: "I have seen Concubine Xian, our three princesses are taking a nap in the gazebo." Naturally, it was to remind the two people in the gazebo.

Qian Qu was not in a hurry, anyway, they were not talking about something that others could not listen to, not to mention that the person who came was actually Huai Xia's mother and concubine.

Huaixia stood up and saluted Concubine Xian respectfully.After straightening up, she was surprised to find that Concubine Xian came up alone.

Huai Xia was hesitating for a while, but saw Concubine Xian calling her in a deep voice: "You are Huai Xia."

"...Mother Concubine." Huaixia smiled helplessly, and recognized it, thinking that it was one or two places, and she didn't like to test and confirm, so she hurried to find her.That's all for Qian Qu, this little girl has been reckless since she was a child, but the concubine mother is obviously the most cautious person.

After Concubine Xian heard her answer, the boulder in her heart fell to the ground, but a lot of worries arose: "What's wrong with your face? Concubine Mother didn't even dare to recognize you at first."

"Concubine Xian, this is called Yirongshu, it's amazing!" Daoist Qianqu replied chirpingly, "My sister changed it for me a little that day, and I almost didn't recognize myself."

"This... when did you learn this skill." Concubine Xian asked anxiously, "Didn't you say someone would save you? After saving you, why did you come back here again?" The tone Zhong quite complained, "Mother and Concubine always feel uneasy in the palace now, I'm afraid something big is going to happen, why don't you stay outside the palace, what are you doing when you come back?"

"Mother and concubine, it is my daughter who wants to come back. My daughter has learned a lot of skills outside the palace that she can't learn in the palace. Now that she is back, she is convinced that she can protect herself, so she returned to the palace." Huai Xia comforted in a low voice. With Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian let out a long sigh: "I knew that my daughter is so determined, she must have made up her mind to come back."

Huai Xia didn't know what to say for a moment.

But seeing Concubine Xian had settled her mind, Zheng Rong said: "Since you come back in this capacity, it is inconvenient for you and my mother and daughter to recognize each other for the time being, and we cannot see each other often. Huaixia, what is the purpose of you returning to the palace? Why don't you come back today?" Tell Mufei, Mufei will help you as much as possible, and I hope that after you finish that thing, you can think about yourself."

Huai Xia suddenly smiled.She just told the Queen Mother some lies about envying Miaoyun, but she didn't know that her mother and concubine also put her on the tip of her heart to love her?
