Qi Zi resisted the desire to look back and ran back to Hui's apartment. On the way, she took a closer look at the place where she had stayed for two months and chuckled: Sure enough, there was nothing worth missing.
It was almost noon. Cui Yi looked at the door of Hui's apartment. She didn't see Qi Zi, but she saw Bizhu coming back from Jin Fei to pick up something. Seeing Cui Yi's uneasy look, Bizhu asked: "Cui Yi."
Yi, aren't you going to have a rest today? What are you still doing here?"
When she heard it was Bizhu, Cuiyi said nervously, "No, it's nothing." After saying that, she went back to her room and closed the door. Bizhu laughed and said, "What a weirdo."
When Qi Zi returned to Hui's apartment, Cui Yi had packed her things and was waiting for her anxiously.
"You're finally back. Come on, I'll take you to Xuanyi Gate." Cui Yi picked up the bag and said.
Qi Zi said: "Cuiyi, thank you."
"Don't thank me. Come on, or you won't be able to leave." She pulled Qi Zi and opened the door and said.
Qi Zi followed Cuiyi through the rockery path and around the corner of the corridor, and cautiously arrived at a place not far from Xuanyi Gate. Cuiyi pointed at Xuanyi Gate and said, "Look, that's Xuanyi Gate."
Qi Zi looked in the direction pointed by Cui Yi. There were about a hundred people there, and he said, "Are all those people leaving the palace?"
"Yes, there are so many people almost every day. Who makes the palace have so many eunuchs to serve people?" Cui Yi looked at Xuan Yimen and said.
Qi Zi nodded.
Cui Yi held her hand and said sadly: "Qi Zi, I was afraid that someone would know me, so I only sent you here. You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own. You have to take good care of yourself."
Qi Zi cried, and two lines of hot tears fell down. She hugged Cui Yi tightly and said, "I will, and you should take good care of yourself."
Cui Yi gently pushed her away and said, "Okay, don't cry. You should be happy. Have you seen the corner gate? Go there to get the talisman, and then give it to the gatekeeper when you leave the palace.
Just a guard is enough, others take two, one for leaving the palace and one for entering the palace. You won't come back anyway, so just throw him away after leaving the palace."
Qi Zi hugged Cui Yi tightly again and said: "Thank you, thank you very much Cui Yi."
Taking the baggage from Cuiyi's hand, Qizi took a firm step forward. Cuiyi watched Qizi leave, praying to the Bodhisattva to bless her safely, then turned and walked back.
Because there were many eunuchs in the palace, she knew very few people. Qi Zi easily got the order to leave the palace. She softly asked the eunuch who gave her the order: "When will the city gate open?"
"
The eunuch replied: "Just wait for half a stick of incense, people will come soon."
"Oh, thank you." Now I just have to wait for the city gate to open before I can leave the palace, and I feel extremely excited.
In Hui's apartment, Cuiyi opened the door and saw Grandma Wang sitting on a stool with an angry face waiting for her. Her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly rose.
In the imperial garden, Concubine Ling danced, Concubine Mei played the harp, Xuan Yi and the other concubines were admiring Concubine Ling's dancing. From time to time, someone clapped their hands, and of course the person sitting next to her was Concubine Jin. I didn't see Qi Zi going to Yunxiu Palace in the morning.
She just sent someone to Hui's apartment to find someone so that Qi Zi could make a fool of herself in front of Xuan Yi and the concubines. Unexpectedly, Grandma Wang found someone who was not Qi Zi but Cui Yi. Grandma Wang said something in Bi Zhu's ear.
, Bizhu whispered in Concubine Jin's ear a few more times, and she saw her face darken, tilting her head towards Xuan Yi, but stopped talking. Xuan Yi asked coldly and somewhat animatedly: "What's wrong?"
"Back to the emperor, Qizi is gone." After finishing speaking, Concubine Jin stared at Xuan Yi's expression. Just as she thought, Xuan Yi's expression darkened, showing how angry he was, and he shouted: "Stop."
Everyone stopped and didn’t understand what was happening. He then asked, “Where are they?”
Grandma Wang pushed Cui Yi in front of Xuan Yi. Cui Yi fell to her knees with a bang, trembling. Xuan Yi stood up and walked to her and asked with a fierce look: "Where is she?"
Cui Yi was so frightened that she cried, but she could not betray Qi Zi. After a while, the city gate would open and Qi Zi would be able to leave the palace. Thinking of this, she said with a trembling voice: "Back...back...
The emperor's words, slave... I don't know... where has she gone?
"You still have a tough mouth, Grandma Wang, give me a slap." Xuan Yi said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Grandma Wang rolled up her sleeves. Seeing this, Cui Yi kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"I'll forgive you. Tell me quickly, where did she go?" Xuan Yishu shouted.
Cui Yi was so frightened that she was shaking so much that she couldn't speak. Bizhu on the side seemed to remember something and said: "Cui Yi, aren't you resting today? Why are you here without leaving the palace?"
Cuiyi was stunned and knew it was over. When Xuanyi heard Bizhu's words, a thought flashed through his mind. He picked up his steps, then stopped and said, "Put this slave in prison."
"According to the order." After Defu said, he asked two eunuchs to come up and take Cui Yi down.
