Zhichun shook his head and said: "Many people in the palace are talking about it. I can't tell who it is specifically."
"Then has anyone definitely seen that Divine Doctor Wu?" Faced with Xianyue's inquiry, Zhichun thought for a long time and shook his head: "It seems that there is no such thing. Master, is there any problem?"
"If this miracle doctor is really so famous, there should be many people who have seen him or at least heard of his name. How come Qi Kuan and the others have been asking for so long but there is no news? It is really unreasonable."
Zhichun couldn't answer her question, so Yonghuang said from the side: "Empress, just like Zhichun said, a person of Aluo's age will be fine. Don't worry too much."
"I know, but from the moment Qi Kuan said that A Luo was missing, I always had an ominous premonition, as if something would happen to A Luo."
Zhichun said quickly: "How can this happen? Don't scare yourself. I'll go and see if the bird's nest stewed in the small kitchen is ready. If it's ready, you can rest early after drinking. I'll have a good morning tomorrow."
Just go to the palace gate to pick up A Luo."
Although Xianyue was impatient, she also knew that there was nothing she could do at this time, so she said helplessly: "This is the only way. I will inform you as soon as there is any news tomorrow."
That night, Xianyue lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Ever since A Luo came to her, except for the days in the cold palace, A Luo had never left her, let alone no news like today. She really
I was very worried, and the ominous feeling lingered in my heart.
Before dawn, Xianyue called Zhichun to come in and change her clothes, and then quickly came to the palace gate. Unexpectedly, Qi Kuan came earlier than them. Judging from the dark circles under his eyes, he must not have slept well last night.
After suffering like this for years, it was finally time for the palace door to open. Xianyue and Zhichun looked out at the same time. Unfortunately, they were disappointed and did not see A Luo.
Seeing Xianyue's ugly face, Zhichun comforted her: "Master, maybe Aluo is waiting at another palace gate, let's..." Before she could finish her words, Xianyue had already left quickly, and Zhichun quickly followed.
After looking at one palace gate after another, until the last palace gate, no Aluo appeared. Xianyue's heart sank to the bottom. As for Zhichun, she was also worried and could no longer say any words of comfort.
Xianyue returned to Golden Lotus Yingri Garden with heavy steps. As for Qi Kuan and Zhi Chun, their faces were ugly and tight, without any smile.
After entering the main hall, Qi Kuan knelt down and said in pain: "It's all my fault. If I had insisted on following, everything would have been fine. I deserve to die!"
Xianyue's emotions that had been suppressed all night were aroused by his words, and she scolded coldly: "What's the use of talking about this now? What I want to know most now is what happened to A Luo, making her unable to return."
Palace."
Qi Kuan knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak. Zhichun said cautiously: "Master, how about you and Qi Kuan go out to look for you again?"
Xianyue took a deep breath and said, "Not only you and Qi Kuan, but others are also going."
"Is this... okay?" Zhichun also knew that Rehe was so big that she and Qi Kuan could not find it alone, but if too many people were sent out rashly, the Jingsi Office might not agree.
Xianyue didn't say much. She just ordered her to get the Four Treasures of the Study and write down the names of more than a dozen people on them, which accounted for sixty-seven out of ten people in the Golden Lotus Yingri Palace. After they were stamped with the seal of the Fourth Concubine
, handed it to Zhichun and said: "Take these people and follow me to the honorary affairs room."
Although it is a palace, all the institutions are the same as those in the Forbidden City. The House of Internal Affairs, the Imperial Pharmacy, and the Jingsi Room all perform their respective duties. Bai Gui, the manager of the Jingsi Room, saw the long list written by Xia Yue.
He said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to give you the badge. The number of people you requested this time is actually a bit more. It's really difficult for me to explain to the superiors. I would like to ask your Majesty, can you reduce it by half?"
Xianyue said coldly: "If anything happens, I will take full responsibility for it. Anyway, just give them your badge."
Bai Gui smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. This is really against the rules. Please forgive me."
Xianyue stared at him and said: "Didn't you hear what I just said? I am responsible for everything. I can't blame you for it. Go and get the badge immediately."
Seeing that Xianyue's attitude was tough and there was no room for change, Bai Gui had no choice but to do as he was told. In the final analysis, he was just a slave, but Xianyue was the only concubine of the third rank and fourth rank, and also had the power to associate with the sixth palace. He
Even if he has ten heads, he can't afford to offend him.
After coming over with the badge, Bai Gui whispered: "Excuse me, I dare to ask, what is the purpose of the queen sending so many people to the palace?"
Xianyue said expressionlessly: "Don't ask more about things you shouldn't ask. You have been in the Jingsi Room for many years and you should understand this very well. How could you still make such a mistake?"
"This slave deserves to die." Bai Gui stepped aside in fear. After Xianyue had gone away, he gritted his teeth and ordered the eunuch under his command to guard the minister's room while he hurriedly left.
After getting the waist card, Qi Kuan led more than a dozen people to the place where A Luo left with Sun San yesterday, and ordered them to search and interrogate the area, hoping to get clues about A Luo's whereabouts.
While they were running around, Xiaowu appeared in the Golden Lotus Yingri Garden, conveyed Hongli's decree, and ordered Xianyue to go to Yanbo Zhishuang Hall to meet him.
Xianyue was not surprised by this and said smoothly: "Aluo, help me go over."
After the words were spoken, Xianyue remembered that A Luo was not in the palace, and she didn't even know where A Luo was now, whether he was fine or...
Xianyue shook the chaotic thoughts out of her mind, called a palace servant, and asked her to help her to the Yanbo Zhishuang Palace. When she entered, Hongli was reading a piece of writing. When he saw her coming, he said, "Come and take a look."
, this is the authentic work of Mi Pei, who was one of the four great calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty. In terms of style, he was the best in the world."
Xianyue walked over, took a look and said, "Mi Pei's calligraphy is both free and unrestrained, yet strict with the law. It is indeed excellent."
Hongli nodded, closed the scroll and handed it to Sixi. Then he looked at Xianyue seriously and said, "Concubine Xian, what happened?"
Xianyue tried her best to smile for the first time today and said, "Why does the emperor suddenly ask about this? What can happen to my concubine?"
"Bai Gui has told Si Xi that you sent more than a dozen palace people out of the palace. You have been with me for so many years, so you should know that doing so is very unruly, but you still persist in doing so despite Bai Gui's advice. You are not that
A person without sense of propriety, so I speculate that something must have happened." Seeing that Xianyue didn't speak, he asked again: "Can't you even tell me?"
