"Sister Qing, please get up." Ji Lingxi helped her up and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly picked up Qing Wan and hid in a corner and said, "Sister Qing, are you okay? I heard
They said that my father brought you into the palace, so they secretly came to find you. However, my father sent many guards to guard the door. Fortunately, I found a hole in the corner, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get in."
The little girl raised her eyebrows slightly proudly as she spoke, her eyes sparkling as if she could speak.
Qing Wan followed her line of sight and saw that behind the grass near the corner, there was indeed a small dark hole, which was big enough for a person to crawl through sideways. It must have been used by some concubine to keep dogs.
Goudong. Looking at the princess of a country in front of me with messy hair, grass ash on her head, and clothes stained with dirt, I didn't know what to say for a while.
She thought that the reason why she saved the mother and daughter was not because of her kindness, but because she knew the identity of the two people and thought that one day they might be able to help her, so she took action. She originally brought
The purpose of rescuing people can be said to be impure motives, but now, seeing the innocent little girl in front of me, who would not hesitate to dig into a dog hole to find her, and who wanted to repay her kindness, I felt a sense of shame for no reason.
After a while, he finally found his voice and said, "What happened? Why did the emperor bring me into the palace?"
The little girl frowned, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes: "I heard from my mother and concubine that my father is dying, and it should only be a matter of a day or two. He sent someone to bring you into the palace, and it should be possible.
I wanted Uncle Nine Emperors to do something, and I was afraid that Uncle Nine Emperors wouldn't agree, so I took you to the palace as a hostage." At the end, he said: "But sister Qing, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to take you out.
It’s just that there are too many people outside now. Even if I take you away now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out of the palace. But I believe that Uncle Nine Emperors will definitely find a way. I heard from the palace maid that my father had sent him to the palace.
I’ll go find him later, and I’ll let you know when the outcome of the discussion is reached.”
"Thank you." Qingwan held the other person's hand, feeling ashamed but more grateful.
The little girl rarely said seriously: "Sister Qing, please don't say that. You saved my life and my mother's concubine's life. If it weren't for you, we might have starved to death on the streets, let alone entering the palace to see our father."
.Now that you have something to do, it’s only right that we help you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming this way from a distance. The little girl looked tense and said, "It seems that someone is coming. Well, Sister Qing, I'll leave first. You can stay here with peace of mind. I'll come find you again."
your."
After saying that, without waiting for Qing Wan's reaction, she slipped into the grass where she came from, and climbed out along the dark dog hole in one swift motion.
The courtyard returned to its previous quiet state. When several palace people came closer, they saw Qing Wan lying under the peach blossom tree. One of the palace people entered the inner room and took a thin blanket to cover Qing Wan. He was alert again.
He looked around and saw no suspicious people, then he called on the others to leave with their own hands and feet, and continued to guard the door of the yard.
After the person left, Qing Wan slowly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and with her little memory, she glanced in the direction of the old emperor's palace.
