Dai Jiashi also kept an eye on it and did not say everything. She said perfunctorily: "Just now, the imperial concubine and I brought the sixth elder brother to play nearby. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the sixth elder brother disappeared. I thought it was for fun."
I went too far and ran around, so I came over and asked."
Xiao Ningzi shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this slave, but there is absolutely no such thing in Kunning Palace, otherwise I would have brought it out to you long ago."
"Is it really not there?" Dai Jia asked with a frown. Apart from the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, this is the only place in the Forbidden City that I haven't found yet. If it hasn't been found yet, that would be really weird.
Xiao Ningzi said sincerely: "How dare I deceive you into becoming a concubine? Of course it is absolutely true. Besides, if the sixth brother is really here, what do you want me to do to hide him? Do you think so?"
Although Dai Jiashi listened to his words and felt that they were quite reasonable, she still felt that things were not that simple and something was not quite right. She looked at Ling Ruo next to her and asked: "Mother, do you think you should..."
After Ling Ruo raised her hand to stop her words, she stepped forward and said, "It seems that it's almost time to have dinner at this hour. It's time to ask the empress to get up, so that I and the concubine Cheng can pay her a greeting."
Xiao Ningzi lowered his head and said: "Master has told me in advance that no one is allowed to disturb him, and he also asks the imperial concubine for your forgiveness. Moreover, I have already answered what the imperial concubine wants to know. The sixth elder brother is indeed not in Kunning Palace, so the imperial concubine should go elsewhere."
Let’s look for it somewhere.”
"There is no rush to find the sixth elder brother. Both the left and right are in this palace and it is impossible to go out. But the queen is not feeling well. How can I not visit her? If people know about it, I should say that I don't understand etiquette."
After saying that, she was about to walk forward, regardless of Xiao Ningzi's hand blocking her. Seeing that her hand was about to touch Ling Ruo's body, Xiao Ningzi quickly retracted her hand. After all, he was just a slave.
If he actually encounters him, Ling Ruo can use the topic as an excuse to say that he is disrespectful to him and he will inevitably be punished.
"Empress, this is Kunning Palace, you can't break in without permission!" Xiao Ningzi said as he backed away, his face turned extremely ugly. Hong Zhan is in the Nuan Pavilion. If Ling Ruo finds out, he will really beat himself up.
Mouth.
"Don't put such a big hat on me. I said that I am here to pay my respects to the Queen." He answered Xiao Ningzi's question with his mouth, but his steps were not slow at all, and he passed through most of it in a short time.
In the courtyard, Dai Jia's family followed closely behind.
Xiao Ningzi broke out in a cold sweat. He originally thought he could send Ling Ruo and the others away, but he didn't expect to be so difficult to deal with. He actually barged in. What should he do?
Just when Xiao Ningzi was thinking about countermeasures, the door of Dongnuan Pavilion opened, and Nala walked out of it. Xiao Ningzi quickly stepped forward to support her and said: "Concubine Xi and Concubine Cheng said it was six years old."
My elder brother is missing. I came here to look for my sixth elder brother. I have told you not to, but they don’t believe it. They insist on breaking in. I really can’t stop you. I have disturbed my master’s rest. Please forgive me.”
Nala came to Ling Ruo, caressing the pearls on her temples, looked at each other and said, "What's the matter? Your concubine doesn't believe what Xiao Ningzi said?"
Ling Ruo saluted and said: "Xiao Ningzi is the empress's confidant, how could I not believe it? It's just that I heard that the empress was not feeling well, so she wanted to go in to pay her respects, but Xiao Ningzi had to stop her and said
The empress has already rested and no one is allowed to disturb her." After saying that, she looked at Nala and chuckled, "But it seems that Xiao Ningzi really lied."
"No matter how courageous he is, he would not dare to lie to Concubine Xi. I was asleep on the couch, but I have always been a light sleeper. I woke up when I heard some movement outside. When I came out, I saw that it was you two. Yes.
Oh, Brother Six, what happened to him? Is he missing?"
Xiao Ningzi quickly repeated Dai Jiashi's words and said aggrievedly: "I have been looking at the palace. I really have never seen the sixth elder brother."
As soon as Xiao Ningzi finished speaking, Nala scolded: "You stupid thing, you didn't inform me about such a big thing. Even though there is nothing in our palace, we should send people to look for it ourselves, otherwise six
If something happens to my brother, even if you have ten heads it won't be enough."
Xiao Ningzi seemed to be frightened, and immediately knelt down and said: "This slave deserves to die."
"Forget it, I'll spare you for now and take people out to find Brother Six immediately." After that, she said to Ling Ruo and Ling Ruo kindly: "Don't be impatient, as long as you are in the palace, come early or late.
These can always be found.”
Ling Ruo's eyes flashed slightly and she said: "I have already looked for my concubine and others outside, but there is really no one. Let's look for Kunning Palace. Maybe the sixth brother sneaked in quietly, and not even the empress and Xiao Ningzi knew about it.
.”
Nala laughed and said: "Concubine Xi, what kind of place is this palace? Can people come in and out at will? If so, why do we need people to guard the palace gate?"
"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of the worst. It's better to be careful about everything, don't you think so?" With that said, Ling Ruo was about to enter, but Na Lashi stopped her. As a queen, even in name only,
She is a queen after all, so she won't have worries like Xiao Ningzi.
"Concubine Xi, do you really think that this is your Chengqian Palace, and you can come in if you want? No matter what you think in your heart, I am the empress of the world. Without the emperor's imperial edict and my permission, no one can
No one is allowed to step foot here." Nala was still smiling, but at this moment, his eyes were cold and there was no trace of warmth.
"I don't dare. It's just that the Sixth Brother is of great importance. As long as there is a slight possibility, I should try my best to find it. Don't you think so? Unless I think Sixth Brother doesn't matter at all." She wanted to use words to trap him.
Nala, the latter is a treacherous and slippery man, I should have known him
Dispelling her intention, he said coldly: "Sixth Brother is the current prince, how can I not care about it? Let's do this. I will go outside to look for you with Concubine Xi. In addition, Xiao Ningzi, you also bring a few people with you."
Go search everywhere, it’s getting dark soon, we have to find Brother Six as soon as possible.”
Facing Nala's words, Ling Ruo did not make any move, and still met her eyes, saying without giving up an inch: "Since we are all looking for it, we might as well look for Kunning Palace as well, don't you think?
"
"When did Concubine Xi become so interested in Kunning Palace?" Nala said with a half-smile: "In that case, please ask Concubine Xi to ask for the emperor's imperial edict or verbal instructions. Then you can search whatever you want.
With you."
Ling Ruo frowned tightly and said, "So, your Majesty is determined not to do it?" Nala's unusual attitude made her almost sure that Hongzhan was in Kunning Palace, but she couldn't confirm it.
.
Nala stroked the broken hair beside her ear and said, "I have no reason to agree, right?"
