When Qiao Yan'er came back to her senses, he had disappeared into the darkness and disappeared. Qiao Yan'er could only endure the doubts in her heart and return to the house where she lived. There were more than a dozen people sleeping on a bunk.
The children had all fallen asleep and were breathing lightly or heavily.
Qiao Yan'er gently took off her shoes and crawled to where she was sleeping, then opened the small bundle that Ye Fang handed to her. Through the moonlight shining in from the window, she could see that besides a letter, there were several other things inside.
One hundred taels of silver notes and an oil paper bag. Inside was some grayish-yellow powder, I don’t know what it was.
Strange, who could it be? With this question, Qiao Yan'er opened the letter. Just after reading a few lines, she couldn't help but smile. It turned out to be Gao Bin. He wrote this letter. He
The letter stated that because Yongzhang was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, she was in an isolated and helpless situation in the palace.
And he was not in the capital, so he tried to bribe this Ye Fang so that Qiao Yan'er could take care of him. However, Ye Fang didn't know their real plan and only thought that Qiao Yan'er was the maid he arranged to enter the palace to compete for the emperor's favor.
So in front of him, some words are enough, and don't let him know too much.
Gao Bin also mentioned in the letter that if he couldn't get close to Hongli and Xianyue, he would try to become Hongli's woman. As a palace concubine, it would be much more convenient to do things than a palace maid. As for the things in the oil paper bag, just make good use of them.
Not only can it tie Hongli's heart, but it can also make Hongli listen to her words. It has endless magical uses!
After reading the letter, Qiao Yan'er felt very complicated. She became Hongli's woman... The thought of her made her feel sick. She... How could she devote herself to her enemy? But if she didn't do this, she didn't know how.
Only then can he avenge his tragic death.
After a sleepless night, she immediately went to Qianqing Palace at dawn the next day, and her first words after meeting Ye Fang were, "I want to see Wei Yao."
Ye Fang's eyes widened in surprise, "Wei promised? Why did you see her?"
Qiao Yan'er had already thought of her words and said: "It is almost impossible for me to get ahead in this palace by myself, so I need allies; but palace maids like me are of no use. Those
It is impossible for a master to help me, so after much deliberation, only one Wei agreed, which is barely suitable."
Ye Fang frowned and said: "But Wei agreed to be banned in Yongshou Palace, how can I help you."
Qiao Yan'er chuckled and said: "It's just a temporary grounding. The Emperor will let her go sooner or later. If I can stand with her now, she will naturally help me after she is lifted from the grounding and returns to the Emperor." Seeing Ye Fang's surprise,
After saying this, she added: "If I am favored, I will definitely remember your kindness in helping me today, and I will not treat you badly."
Ye Fang said in embarrassment: "But Yongshou Palace is guarded by guards. It's almost impossible to get in..."
"I know, that's why I came to you. You must help me think of a way out." Faced with Qiao Yan'er's words, Ye Fang hesitated for a long time. He hesitated and said: "Although I can't let you enter Yongshou.
The palace is meeting with Mr. Wei, but... maybe I can bring your words in."
Qiao Yan'er became energetic and said quickly: "What can I do?"
Ye Fang smiled strangely and said: "You will know soon."
At dusk, the imperial dining room sent dinner to Yongshou Palace as usual. After Mao Gui took out one by one and placed it on the table, he served Wei Jingxuan to eat. When the latter was eating a steamed bun, his movements suddenly stopped, and then he took it out from his mouth.
An object as long and thin as a toothpick, if you look closely, it turns out to be a rolled up paper. After unfolding it, you can see six words written on the paper, "How can I help you?"
Mao Gui glanced at it and said in surprise: "Who wrote this?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "This handwriting is very strange, I have never seen it before, and...except for Li Jifeng, I can't think of anyone else who will help me."
"But Guard Li was imprisoned. It was impossible to pass the note in. Third Brother was also imprisoned in the clan mansion. Could it be..." Mao Gui's eyelids twitched and he said in horror: "Is this a trap?"
Wei Jingxuan took the note and read it for a while, shook her head and said, "If it's a trap, you should write it more specifically, or pretend to be someone's handwriting, so that you can gain my trust."
Mao Gui nodded and said, "That's true, but who could it be?"
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly, "No matter who it is, this is an opportunity for us. It would be a pity to let it go." After saying this, she said: "Go and get the pen and ink immediately."
After drying the ink on the paper, Wei Jingxuan followed the same pattern, rolled up the paper and stuffed it into an untouched steamed bun. On the second day, the leftover meal was taken away by the eunuch in the imperial kitchen.
This steamed bun is also among them.
Halfway through the walk, the little eunuch was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He was so frightened that he immediately threw away the food box in his hand. After seeing the person clearly, he stroked his chest and complained: "I almost got beaten by you."
I was scared to death."
Ye Fang picked up the food box and said with a smile: "I just wanted to make a joke with you, but I didn't know you were so timid."
The little eunuch said angrily: "Have you never heard of the saying that people are scared to death? It's better not to make such a joke in the future."
"Okay, okay." After saying that, Ye Fang rubbed his stomach and said, "Looking at you, you should have just come from Yongshou Palace. How about you? Is there anything you can eat?"
The little eunuch looked at him and said, "What's wrong with you? Yesterday, when I saw you, I said you were hungry and took a steamed bun to eat. Now, when I saw you, you said you were hungry again and didn't have anything to eat?" The two of them said:
They entered the palace together. Although they don't work in the same place, they usually have a good relationship.
"Of course there is enough food to eat, but for some reason I have always been very hungry these two days. Besides, there are only two people in Yongshou Palace. How can we eat so much food? Instead of throwing it away and wasting it, why not give it to me?"
The little eunuch shook his head and said, "I'm really scared of you. I'll look for it for you when I get back to the imperial kitchen. There should be a lot of edible things."
"No, if people see it, I'll have to blame you again. Let's find some here." As he said that, he couldn't help but opened the food box and rummaged around. He quickly found a steamed bun and said with a proud look on his face:
"Okay, if you have this thing to fill your stomach, you won't be hungry."
"It's up to you, you eat slowly, I have to go back." After the little eunuch left, Ye Fang immediately hid the steamed bun in his sleeve, and then quickly returned to Qianqing Palace, where Qiao Yan'er was waiting, looking at
When he came back, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? Have you got it?"
Ye Fang took out the steamed bun from his sleeve, shook it, and said, "I got the steamed bun, but I don't know if there is anything you want in it."
Qiao Yan'er quickly took the steamed bun, and after breaking it open, she was pleasantly surprised to find a paper roll inside. She quickly unfolded it, and several lines of words were written on the paper in small regular script.
