The maids in the courtyard came out with washbasins to wash themselves. It was still early, but they were slaves and had to get up early to prepare.
It was dark and everyone was so sleepy that no one noticed Pearl's absence.
After washing up, everyone went to work.
Only one of the palace maids felt a little strange, why Pearl's bed was not made today?
Moreover, her clothes were still lying on the bedside.
Pearl loves to be clean and tidy, and she always makes her bed before going out.
However, the palace maid didn't think much about it. She had something else to do, so she went out.
Next door, the little bitch Hong'er, who had been severely punished by Long Chen, was still sleeping on the bed.
Last night, Long Chen's acupuncture points were tapped, and Hong'er couldn't move. In addition, Long Chen's attack was too harsh. Hong'er encountered a violent impact for the first time, and her body fell into a drowsy state before she woke up very late.
When she woke up, the acupuncture points on her body had been unlocked.
Hong'er struggled to get up, picked up her clothes and put them on randomly before going out.
But when she opened the door, she panicked again. She didn't know what to do.
According to what Long Chen said last night, he took care of Concubine Li and Xueer.
That...
Hong'er is a bitch, not a fool, and anyone who can sneak into Concubine Li's side in the palace is not stupid.
Hong'er sat down, thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to say anything.
Just pretend it didn't happen and you don't know about it.
Hong'er removed all the traces on the bed. The blood stains were also on her clothes and did not fall on the sheets.
After opening the door slightly and seeing no one outside, Hong'er immediately slipped out of the yard and returned to her room. Then she quickly changed her clothes and washed them before going to the imperial concubine's room.
Hong'er felt very uneasy, wondering if the imperial concubine was looking for her.
If you look for it and you happen to be away, the secret will be revealed.
When she walked into the dormitory, Xue'er was guarding her, and Concubine Li had not gotten up yet.
Hong'er adjusted her mood, walked in carefully, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xue'er, haven't you gotten up yet?"
Xue'er glared at Hong'er, who immediately shut up and turned around to go out and do other things.
Hong'er felt happy that she had escaped by chance, and no one found out about her.
In the golden silk tent, Concubine Li was sleeping soundly. Last night, Long Chen was like a tiger descending from the mountain, ruthlessly attacking Concubine Li.
She has lived for decades, and this is the first time she has encountered such a powerful person.
So she slept very deeply...
"The king defeated Long Cheng'en and returned to the court with his troops."
"Your Majesty, the king is here."
Concubine Li was so frightened that she suddenly got up, pushed away Long Chen who was pressing on her, and said: "The king is back, we are all dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Le had already entered the bedroom wearing armor and carrying a sword, and happened to bump into Concubine Li Guifei and Long Chen on the bed.
Shi Le was furious, drew his sword and scolded: "I am fighting in the war, you bitch dare to feed me, you deserve to die!"
The long sword fell and Long Chen was chopped into two pieces.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. This man pretended to be a eunuch and insulted me. I had no choice but to do so. Please spare my life, Your Majesty..."
Concubine Li begged, but Shi Le became even more angry. Concubine Li watched as the sword was raised again and chopped off her head.
Shi Le stepped on Concubine Li's head. His anger had not subsided and he cursed sternly: "You shameless bitch, you will kill the nine tribes!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Concubine Li suddenly opened her eyes and realized that it was a nightmare.
Xue'er supported Concubine Li and said, "What's wrong with your Majesty? Your Majesty hasn't come back yet."
Concubine Li was trembling all over, with fine beads of sweat all over her body. Her pajamas were soaked with sweat, and her pillow and mat on the ground were also soaked with sweat.
"Oh, yes, the king is still fighting Long Chengen on the front line of Yangcheng."
Concubine Li patted her chest, thankful that it was just a dream.
"Tea!"
Concubine Li said something, and Xueer immediately poured a cup of tea over.
Xueer held it for Concubine Li and slowly helped Concubine Li drink it.
After a cup of tea, Concubine Li got up lazily, and Xueer helped Concubine Li get dressed and comb her hair.
During the whole process, Concubine Li was distracted. Xueer found out but didn't dare to say anything.
Hearing that Concubine Li got up, Hong'er immediately handed over the meal. Concubine Li took a few bites, then put it down and said, "Bring Little Plum over here, it's time to apply facial grease."
Xue'er glanced at Hong'er, and Hong'er's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Long Chen was gone.
But she pretended to be calm and immediately turned around to find someone.
Hong'er hurriedly walked to the yard. She had been enduring the pain while walking. Long Chen's attack last night was so cruel that she almost died.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Hong'er saw a palace maid and pretended to ask, "Where is Little Plum? The empress is looking for him."
The palace maid pointed to the room and said, "I haven't seen him come out yet."
Hong'er just pretended to walk to the door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Little plum, the queen is looking for you."
After calling a few times, but seeing no response from the room, Hong'er pushed the door open and went in.
Of course she knew exactly what was inside, but she still pretended to be surprised and came out and asked: "Where is the person? He's not here!"
The palace maid came over in surprise, and sure enough, Long Chen was not in the room.
"I don't know either. I was busy early in the morning."
"perhaps..."
The palace maid wanted to say that maybe Pearl knew, but she couldn't tell.
Hong'er frowned and asked sharply: "Maybe what? Your Majesty is waiting!"
This scolding attracted the other maids to come over.
The palace maid could only say: "Maybe Pearl knows."
Hong'er thought to herself: You know nothing.
"Where's Pearl?"
Hong'er asked loudly, and the palace maid shook her head and said: "Today...it seems that I haven't seen it today."
Hong'er shouted to the people in the whole yard: "Find Xiao Lizi, the queen wants someone now!"
Hong'er gave orders in the name of Concubine Li, and others did not dare to disobey, so they all put down what they were doing and looked for someone.
But after searching for a long time, neither Long Chen nor Zhu'er could see anyone.
Hong'er immediately walked back to the dormitory, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, little plum is missing."
Concubine Li Guifei, who was worried and meditating, heard that Long Chen was missing. Her mind went blank. She stood up suddenly and walked over. She grabbed Hong'er's hair and asked, "What did you say?"
Hong'er said tremblingly: "Little Plum is missing. I and the others have been looking for it for a long time, but they can't find it!"
Concubine Li had a premonition that something was not going well, and regardless of the pain in her body, she walked out quickly and shouted: "Bring someone with me! Hurry!"
Xueer immediately led the people to follow Concubine Li to the courtyard.
A large group of people arrived in the courtyard, and the maids were so frightened that they knelt down one after another.
"Where's Little Plum?"
Concubine Li asked sternly, but no one in the palace dared to answer.
They didn't know where Long Chen had gone.
Xueer scolded: "What are you asking me to do? Don't you slave dogs know how to talk?"
The maids on the ground knelt together, but no one dared to speak because they didn't know at all.
"Okay, I'll kill you all for harboring them!"
Concubine Li was anxious and angry. Long Chen was missing. If Long Chen slipped out of the palace, her affairs would be exposed.
Shi Le knew that she and Long Chen were living side by side, which was a grave crime of beheading and annihilating the nine clans.
Everyone was so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for their lives, but Concubine Li didn't care. Hong'er had already gone to call for help.
Suddenly, a palace maid crawled out and reported: "Mother, Xiao Lizi and Pearl have eloped."
Concubine Li pointed at the palace maid and asked, "Speak clearly!"
The palace maid took a step forward, kowtowed and said, "Little Plum and Pearl were eating each other as soon as they entered the palace. Now that Little Plum and Pearl are gone, they must have eloped."
Concubine Li was furious when she heard this. She was not satisfied with hooking up with him in the palace, so she actually eloped with a palace maid.
This is really unreasonable!
Now that it is confirmed that Long Chen eloped, he must be arrested and Long Chen cannot escape from Xingqing City.
Concubine Li stood up angrily and walked back. She didn't want to stay in this dirty and dirty yard for a long time.
Concubine Li said as she walked: "Go, let the governor of Jingzhao come in."
Xue'er was stunned for a moment and said, "But..."
Concubine Li scolded angrily: "But what, go!"
Xueer was so frightened that she peed her pants and immediately went to find the governor of Jingzhao.
Concubine Li returned to her dormitory angrily, feeling anxious and afraid. If Long Chen was not captured, her whole family would be dead soon.
"It's hateful, it's hateful, I was tricked by a little eunuch!"
Concubine Li thought she could compete with Queen Lu in the harem, but this time she was tricked by a eunuch, and she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart.
"When I catch this dog slave, I will torture him to death!"
Concubine Li grabbed the jade cup and threw it to the ground. She was so frightened that the maid next to her knelt down and did not dare to vent her anger.
