So Youran

When Supervising Yousi retired from the imperial court, he sent Qi Feng an invitation card. It was his father and son getting married. Qi Feng had no relationship with him at all. , naturally it is not easy to shirk.A look at the day is five days later.

The fifth day arrived in a blink of an eye, Qi Feng explained to Qi Zi, greeted You Ran, and went to the Supervisory Office with a gift.There is a long distance from the prince's mansion, and when he arrived at the supervisor, Yousi greeted him with a smile, and said, "My lord, it's rare for you to be honored. The servants have neglected you. Please forgive me. Please come inside."

When entering the door, you need to register your name, check the invitation card, register the gift in the book, etc. Although there are several servants receiving the reception at the same time, Qi Feng, the leader of Yousi, bypasses these people and directly enters the inner hall.The servants handed the gift box to a servant, and began to look around.There are a lot of guests and servants coming and going in this prime minister's mansion, even so, at every turn, the entrance and exit are held by the guards, and the guests are brought by the servants to wait in the main hall.Everyone simply said hello and sat on their seats.Qi Feng entered the main hall, and a family member led him to Qi Feng's seat, which was very close to the seat. After all, he was the prince's son, different from other officials.

How did he know that just after he left the palace, a father-in-law came to deliver the message. This father-in-law was dressed in the clothes of a young eunuch, and looked like he had no class, even so, he still looked arrogant.

The attendants in the palace were also trained, knowing that the eunuch in the palace could not neglect no matter how small the official position, so they welcomed him in.The Seventh Prince is traveling and visiting friends during this time, and he will not be able to return until the end of the year. The chief executive of the mansion will go out with the prince, and Qi Zi will be temporarily in charge of all the affairs in the mansion.Although Qi Zi is not very old, he is smart and smart, and has been able to share most of the affairs in the mansion after being the general manager for several years.So when the eunuch entered the hall and saw Qi Zi receiving him, he didn't say anything, but said in an official tone: "Where is your master?"

Qi Zi replied: "The son has gone to the Prime Minister's mansion, and today I am thanking the Prime Minister for his birthday."

The eunuch said: "He said that he is free, no matter what, he is not looking for your master, passing on the Queen Mother's oral order, inviting the concubine to enter the palace and talk. Tell her to get ready, the carriage is waiting outside."

Qi Zi was taken aback, why did the queen mother think of talking to his wife?And it's this hour, and it looks like it's going to get dark.

Seeing him staring blankly, the eunuch was a little annoyed and said, "Why don't you believe it?" Then he took out his waist card and shook it in front of Qi Zi's eyes, saying, "This is the waist card bestowed by the Queen Mother, this cannot be faked Right. How many heads do you have for the Queen Mother to wait?"

Qi Zi saw that it was indeed the waist card of the empress dowager's palace, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to delay, he asked the servants to serve the eunuch with refreshments, and he went to Nanshan Bieyuan to invite the concubine.

When You Ran first heard that the Empress Dowager invited him into the palace, he felt panic. The eyes of the Empress Dowager were still fresh in his memory. He could hide behind Qi Feng when he was blocking him. Now that Qi Feng is not there, he faces the Empress Dowager by himself Still a little nervous.Seeing leisurely, Qi Zi hesitated and said: "Concubine Shizi, we can't disobey the Queen Mother's will, you go first, I will send someone to the Prime Minister's mansion to inform Shizi, he will definitely come to the palace to pick you up if there is something wrong with him."

After leisurely thinking about it, he could only do this, he went back to his room and changed his clothes, simply combed his hair in a bun, put on a cloak, after thinking about it, he brought a jade hairpin to his head, and then followed Qi Zi to the front hall.

The eunuch's eyes lit up when he saw Youran, but fortunately he knew how to behave and immediately bowed and said, "The concubine is very polite, the queen mother is welcome."

Leisurely followed the eunuch out of the mansion.Sure enough, there was a carriage waiting outside the door, Qi Zi took a closer look, the configuration of the carriage was indeed from the Empress Dowager’s palace, the carriage driver was also dressed as an eunuch, the little eunuch helped You Ran into the carriage, and looked back He glanced at him without saying anything, and drove away at a high speed.Qi Zi didn't dare to delay, he sent people to follow the carriage to ensure that the carriage was heading for the palace, and at the same time sent people to the Prime Minister's residence to inform the prince.

Sitting leisurely in the carriage, swaying around for a quarter of an hour, she felt something was wrong.I was born in the mountains, and all I could hear were birdsong, flowing water, and the sound of the breeze, so I developed good hearing.The last time I went to the palace, I also took a car. I heard a lot of shouting when I left the palace for a while, and it didn't calm down until I got to the palace.Although it was already Shen Shi today, there were calls for sales, but they disappeared after a while, and the carriage showed no intention of stopping.Youran secretly felt that something was wrong, took off the jade hairpin on her head and hid it in her sleeve, and listened carefully to the movement outside with her ears sideways.After a while the carriage started to bump up, and You Ran was even more sure that the carriage was not heading for the palace.The capital is the emperor's territory, and the surroundings of the palace are paved with square bricks, which is very flat and there is no reason for bumps.Although she knew it, You Ran didn't say anything. If she was alone and the two drivers were driving, if she acted rashly, she might not have a chance of winning.

After another quarter of an hour, the carriage finally slowed down and finally stopped.Then the footsteps of several people came to the front of the car.Leisurely clenched Yuchai tightly and hid it with her sleeves.The door curtain of the car was lifted, and the eunuch who brought him said with a smile: "Concubine Shizi, we are here, let's get out of the car."

Leisurely glanced at it, the sky outside was a bit dark, but you can still see clearly that there is a wilderness outside, there seems to be a house next to it, there are lights shining from inside, there seems to be the sound of water nearby, this place may already be on the edge of the capital .

They spent so much effort, even pretending to be eunuchs in the palace, and even Qi Zi was blinded by the pretending, it seems that they have a lot of background, such a lot of trouble must not hurt him easily, he took a deep breath He took a deep breath and got out of the car slowly.There were already two burly people standing outside the car, You Ran regretted that if she escaped just now, she might have been able to fight, but now there is really no hope.

The person pretending to be the eunuch smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is very courageous, she can still be so calm when she sees that there are so many of us. Don't worry, we have received the order, we just invite you here, we don't mean to hurt you. Just be obedient Just stay here for one night, and the Lord will come tomorrow. Then you don’t have to worry about it.” After speaking, he smiled wretchedly and nodded at the people next to him. When they started, they went to the house by themselves.

Another night, I might be able to escape and walk in, leisurely paying attention to the structure of the house.This house is not big, there is only one courtyard, one main room and two side rooms.It seemed that no one had lived in the yard for a long time, with withered weeds everywhere, but a section of road leading to the main house was cleared in the middle.The doors and windows of the room were already broken, and they had just been repaired. When I entered the room, it was cleaned very cleanly, with a few simple pieces of furniture, a dilapidated bed, and spare parts on the bed.It seems that the person who invited him didn't want his life, so why?You Ran couldn't figure it out, since she grew up in the mountains, she had no contact with outsiders, if she did, it was only the people she met in the Seventh Prince's Mansion and Jin Palace in the past month.Is it really the queen mother?

Those people were polite, and stopped outside the door. The eunuch said: "For safety, we need to lock the doors and windows, Madam, don't worry." After speaking, the driver took out a big lock and closed the door , locked up.

Qi Feng stayed for more than an hour, very bored, those officials who came to visit seemed to alienate him deliberately, but they were all very polite.When the ceremony was not completed, Qi Feng left first on the pretext of something at home.

Then Yousi failed to persuade him to stay, so he had to personally send Qi Feng out of the house.

When Qi Feng left the house, it was already dark, and as soon as he came to his carriage, he saw a servant anxiously circling back and forth.Seeing Qi Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, I can see you. Deputy Chief Qi asked me to find you, saying that Madam was picked up by the eunuch sent by the queen mother in the palace. Because of the Queen Mother's badge, the deputy chief executive did not Dare to stop, but feel a little strange, so let me come here to report, but the servant of the Prime Minister's mansion just won't let me in."

Qi Feng's face darkened and he asked, "When did it happen?"

The servant said: "It's been more than an hour. The deputy chief sent someone to follow the carriage to the palace to see if they can get any letters at the gate of the palace. I want to go in and tell you, but the people at the gate won't let me in."

Qi Feng got into the carriage before he finished speaking, and ordered the people to return home quickly.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Qi Zi was still waiting at the gate. When he saw Qi Feng came back, he hurried forward and said, "It's bad, the person I followed was dumped. That car didn't go to the palace at all. It's all my fault. Why didn't you find out that it was a fake eunuch?"

Qi Feng asked: "Where did the people you sent get lost?"

Qi Zidao: "At Yuhe Street, I turned a corner and saw that I was still ahead, but the carriage stopped after it, but the one who got off was not the eunuch, and there was no imperial concubine in the carriage at all, so I knew I had been fooled."

Qi Feng hurriedly ordered people to prepare the horses, and then asked: "Have you sent someone to search around?"

Qi Zi said: "I have dispatched all the servants in the mansion, where to look around, but there is no trace."

At this time, Lian Junyu just came back from the outside. Seeing a group of people at the door, Homesick Ding asked briefly. It was so nice to hear Qi Zi speak. Lian Junyu said: "Qi Zi, tell me about the characteristics of that person. Go check it out." Here, Qi Zi and Lian Junyu didn't describe it, at this time the horse had already been pulled over, Qi Feng had already got on his horse, and turned to Lian Junyu and said: "That direction is to the south of the city, I'll go and have a look first, do you have any? Message to meet me." As he spoke, he rode his horse and galloped towards Yuhe Street.

Lian Junyu didn't dare to neglect, turned around and went in the opposite direction, not long after, there was an inn called Liuxianju in front of him, he entered the inn, the boss saw him go back and forth, hurriedly greeted him and asked: "Master Shao Why are you back again?"

Lian Junyu asked the boss to bring some pens and paper, drew a portrait on the paper with three strokes and two strokes, and handed it to the boss: "Send all the people out immediately, and make sure to find this person."

The boss didn't dare to neglect, he quickly took the painting and walked into the yard.
