The next day, the emperor's team heading down Jiangnan set off towards Jiangnan again. Wherever they passed, hundreds of officials cleared the way and it was extremely smooth.
The relationship between Luo Si and Nangong Mei was still tepid and did not improve much. On the contrary, the time spent in contact with Luo Si gradually increased.
On this day, the team going to the south of the Yangtze River settled in a town, and the emperor temporarily stayed at the county magistrate's home.
At night, a maid came out of Concubine Chu's room. After gesticulating at the guards outside, the maid took them away.
After a while, another head popped up in Concubine Chu's room. It was an ordinary-looking little palace maid. She carefully looked around, and only after making sure that no one was around, she opened the door and whispered into the room.
Said: "Mother, there is no one left, please leave quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman wrapped in black cloth walked out of the room. She only showed a pair of delicate and beautiful eyes. She followed the little palace maid out as silently as possible.
I had almost slipped out of the magistrate's house, but there were still two guards guarding the back door.
The woman dressed all in black hid herself in the corner of the corner, blending into the darkness. The little palace maid walked towards the back door in a swaggering manner. After saying a few words to the guards, she gave them some silver coins, and then
Walked back.
"Your Majesty, you can go." The little palace maid came over and called the woman hiding in the darkness, and then they walked towards the back door together.
"Stop! Let me see first!" A guard stopped the woman in black, "Take off the black cloth from your face."
The little palace maid immediately stood in front of the woman in black and said nervously: "Brother, no! My sister's face is covered with measles, her appearance has been ruined, but she will scare you."
The guard said very rudely: "Stop talking so much nonsense! The emperor has an order that Concubine Han must not be allowed to leave here, so everyone who passes must be strictly inspected!"
"Sister, the guard brother also has his responsibilities, so let him look at me." After saying that, the woman in black took off the black cloth covering her face, and her delicate eyes were lowered, as if she was very sad.
.
This is an astonishing face! In addition to the yellow skin, the face is also covered with red sores, and some places are even overflowing with blood.
The guard covered his mouth and almost spit out his dinner, but he persisted, looked at the woman in black and said, "Lift your eyes."
The woman in black followed the instructions and raised her eyes that were already misted with water. Her big eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. Although they were still beautiful eyes, they looked a little scary.
The guard turned his head and stopped looking at the woman in black and said, "It's not Concubine Han! Let's go!" He seemed to hate the woman in black and moved aside.
The woman in black covered her face with the black cloth again and walked out quickly.
After the woman in black and the little palace maid left, another guard asked: "Brother, why do you want to look at that ugly girl?"
The guard slapped the other guard hard on the head and said: "Who told you not to listen when the boss lectured you? The boss said that Concubine Han's stunning appearance can be changed, but those eyes remain the same.
It can’t change! Those are the most charming eyes in the world!"
Another guard touched his head in confusion and asked: "What kind of eyes are there? How did you recognize that the woman just now was not a concubine?"
A proud smile appeared on the guard's face, and he said proudly: "Because I have seen the fairy-like appearance of Concubine Han! Just one glance will be unforgettable in my life! Here, among every guard guarding the door, there will be at least one
I have met Concubine Han, so under our watch, Concubine Concubine will never leave here!"
In the woods a long way away from the magistrate's house, the woman in black pulled off the black cloth on her body, exposing her slender light yellow figure to the air.
The little palace maid quickly handed over a silk scarf.
Her slender hands gently took the silk scarf, and then wiped away the blood, red sores and yellow skin on her face bit by bit. After a while, the dirty silk scarf was thrown to the ground, and a delicate face appeared.
The beautiful face appeared in the dark night.
With a pair of delicate eyes, a delicate nose, red lips, and smooth white skin, she looks like a simple girl next door. She is a delicate and lovely girl!
But at this time, she was looking sharply at the other side of the forest, like a little wild cat waking up.
After a while, a black shadow appeared in front of them. The shadow turned its back to them, and its cold voice made people's hair stand on end: "As long as you follow the plan obediently, you will get what you want."
Panta didn't have a trace of fear, looked directly at the shadow and said: "I will do it! I hope you can do what you said!"
"I'm waiting for you." After saying that, the black shadow disappeared into the forest at a speed that the human eye could not see clearly.
The little palace maid looked at the direction in which the black shadow was leaving with some fear, and timidly said: "My dear, he is..."
"Stop talking nonsense! We are going back!" Panta interrupted what the little palace maid was about to say, turned around and walked towards the magistrate's house.
Tonight, there is no peace at all.
Nangong Mei's room is still brightly lit.
She was lying on a soft and comfortable recliner. She always felt that there was some loophole in the escape plan she and Palpita had studied together, but she couldn't figure out where it was.
But she was very eager to sort things out and escape from here as soon as possible.
"Xiao Zhu, how long do we have until we get to Xiangcheng?" Nangong Mei asked casually.
The personal maid standing next to Nangong Mei replied respectfully: "Three days."
"Three days..." Nangong Mei repeated what Xiaozhu said, and once again organized her escape plan in her mind.
Three days later, Xiangcheng was her only chance to escape!
When Luo Si and his party arrived in Xiangcheng, it was the annual Lantern Festival held in Xiangcheng, which was very lively.
After everyone settled down at the local magistrate's house, it was already dark.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Han is here." The old eunuch walked up behind Luo Si and reported happily.
Luo Si, who was standing in the courtyard with the night wind blowing, suddenly turned around, with a hint of surprise in his dark eyes, and said: "Quickly declare!"
After a while, Nangong Mei slowly walked into the courtyard under the leadership of the old eunuch.
As soon as Luo Si saw Nangong Mei, he felt very good and said softly: "Didn't I say that if you want to see me, you can do it at any time? There is no need to send a message!"
Nangong Mei looked into Luo Si's gentle eyes and said calmly: "I want to go to the lantern festival."
Luo Si frowned slightly and said: "The Lantern Festival is a mixed bag, an unsafe place... Hange..." Before Luo Si could finish his words, he saw Nangong Mei turn around and leave. He quickly grabbed her and said
, "I will go with you!" She finally made a request to him that he could fulfill. How could he cherish this opportunity and couldn't bear to refuse! Even if this noble emperor wants to be the flower protector!
While visiting the lantern festival, Panta and Nangong Mei were naturally inseparable, but there was also an unexpected character, the Queen!
An hour ago, "Your Majesty, wait..." Luo Si, who had changed into plain clothes, was stopped as soon as he reached the gate of the county magistrate's house.
I saw that the queen had already changed into a set of ordinary lady's clothes, and walked quickly towards Luo Si, shouting: "Your Majesty, please wait for me, my concubine..."
Luo Si frowned slightly and asked, "Queen, what are you doing here?" He looked at her clothes and felt something was wrong!
A dignified smile appeared on the queen's face and she said: "I heard that the emperor was going to the lantern festival, so I changed my clothes specially and wanted to go with the emperor so that I could feel the atmosphere of the people and get closer to the people."
"You don't have to go." Luo Si waved his hand impatiently. He was already dissatisfied with the palpitation tower, but due to Nangong Mei, he had to bring the palpitation tower, but if the queen followed him again, he would think
Going to kill someone!
"Let the Queen go." A clear and elegant voice floated out from her cherry-red lips. Nangong Mei, who was dressed in snow-white gauze, looked at Luo Si indifferently.
Luo Si turned around and said coldly: "Follow me." After saying that, he strode out the door! He was really depressed! Nangong Mei didn't understand his heart at all! It was impossible for two people to go shopping together at the lantern festival.
That’s great! But there are still so many light bulbs to follow! How is he going to develop a relationship with Nangong Mei?!
Xiangcheng has been preparing for the lantern festival for a year, and in order to welcome the arrival of the emperor, it is particularly lively. There are many more activities and types of lanterns than in previous years.
The dark night was brightly illuminated by colorful lights, and the streets and alleys of Xiangcheng were crowded with people of all colors.
Walking in the lantern festival, Panta was the most excited among the four masters, and Nangong Mei seemed to be in a good mood. Looking at the colorful lanterns, she even showed curious expressions and smiles from time to time.
Luo Si, who was walking behind the two of them, was obviously a little listless, but when he saw Nangong Mei's smile, he became energetic again, and the look in his eyes became different.
But the queen who was left at the end was very angry. After all, she was also the mother of a country, and she was extremely beautiful, but she was left at the end! If she hadn't insisted on coming, others really wouldn't have wanted her to come!
"It's for guessing lantern riddles!" Panta happily looked at the place in front of where many people gathered. He pulled Nangong Mei and quickly walked there, not forgetting to say excitedly, "Let's go guess lantern riddles!"
Nangong Mei also quickly followed Panta and looked at the various lanterns with written words on them. Her eyes were full of curiosity. It turned out that these were famous ancient lantern riddles!
Luo Si and the Queen also came over shortly afterwards. Luo Si only looked at the joyful Nangong Mei in his eyes, but the Queen looked very happy when she saw these colorful lantern riddles.
Xianyu finally has a chance to turn around! Bah! It’s not Xianyu! It’s the Jingui Queen!
