The weather was a little hot, and the tenth princess fell asleep holding the cat.
The screen window reflects the colorful shadows of flowers.
Lin Fufei was fanning on the side, and the slight breeze that came back and forth made people fall asleep even more.
Seeing that the tenth princess finally closed her eyes, she called a little palace maid over and asked her to take over her duties.
Before she could go out, she heard Hongzhu whispering to a young eunuch: "I have something to go out for. If anyone asks me, I will be back in a while."
She stepped out with her front foot, and Lin Fufei followed with her back foot.
The reason why she did this was because when she had a chat with Xue Hengzhao a few days ago, Xue Hengzhao specifically reminded her to keep an eye on Hongzhu.
Lin Fufei certainly didn't want to believe that Hongzhu would betray Ma Cairen and the tenth princess. After all, she had served her master much longer than herself.
But she didn't doubt Xue Hengzhao's judgment, not to mention that she had really seen the sinister nature of people's hearts in the past few years since she had been in the palace.
At noon, there are very few pedestrians as usual.
Most of the masters took a rest, and the servants also tried their best to find quiet places to hide.
To be honest, when they are working in the palace, they are really not brisk from morning to night. No one is made of iron, and it is human nature to be lazy appropriately.
Hongzhu kept walking along the shade of the wall, looking left and right from time to time.
Lin Fufei didn't dare to follow too closely for fear of being noticed by her.
As we walked, we came to the vicinity of Ronghua Palace.
Hongzhu stopped in front of the east corner door and looked in for a long time. Someone just walked in.
Lin Fufei felt bad and hurriedly walked through the west side passage and walked in through a small door in the northeast corner.
There were many peonies and other plants planted in Ronghua Palace, and Lin Fufei carefully leaned over them.
Then I heard Hongzhu talking to someone: "Eunuch Liu, I really have something to do with Sister Magpie. It's an important matter. Please send a message to me!"
"I told you, this is not the time to send a message." The eunuch was obviously unwilling to move, "Everyone is resting! I woke up many people by moving around. Aren't I just waiting to be scolded?"
"Eunuch Liu, just do good deeds! This is for you, don't take it lightly." Hongzhu seemed to have stuffed something into the eunuch.
"You...sigh." The eunuch seemed extremely reluctant, but he still changed his tone, "But as we agreed, I will pass the message on your behalf, and whether they come or not is not up to me."
If Hong Zhu had wanted to see the maid in front of the queen before, she wouldn't have had to put in so much effort.
But now Ma Cairen's status is too low. Even if the queen still looks at her differently, who among the people below has a wealthy heart and decent eyes? How can she be willing to pay attention to them?
"Okay, as long as you send me a message." Hongzhu was very grateful.
The eunuch turned around and left, leaving Hongzhu waiting alone.
Lin Fufei hid behind the bushes, fearing that the magpies would come out and Hongzhu would tell her about the ten princesses.
So I thought that if that was really the case, I would jump out and interrupt the conversation no matter what.
Hongzhu stood under the shade of the tree for a long time. The eunuch named Liu came back and said to Hongzhu: "Miss Hongzhu, what a coincidence, Miss Magpie is waiting in front of the Queen! We don't have such a big one.
Please forgive me for having the guts to send a message in!"
Hongzhu couldn't help but said with disappointment: "In this case, forget it! I'll come back in the evening."
He said and went out.
Lin Fufei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and waited for the eunuch named Liu to leave as well before quietly walking out.
When she almost reached Fangcongyuan, she called Hongzhu from behind.
"Sister, what have you done?" Lin Fufei pretended not to know, stepped forward and took Hongzhu's hand.
"I'm going to check on Yu He. I heard that she has been ill for the past two days." Hong Zhu made an excuse casually.
Lin Fufei remembered that she had met Yu He in the morning, jumping up and down without looking sick, so she knew that Hong Zhu was lying.
But he didn't expose her directly. He just said: "Sister, you and Sister Yu He are really close. I wonder what disease Sister Yu He has? I still have some medicines there, which are all for treating summer heat." Lin Fufei said.
.
"She has a spleen and stomach disease, and none of your medicines are right." Hongzhu smiled and said, "She has nothing serious, she is just a little homesick. I talked to her for a while, and she felt better.
."
Then he asked Lin Fufei: "Why did you come out too? Is the princess asleep now?"
"The princess fell asleep. I don't know where Xuanxuan went. I went out to look for it in case the princess woke up and couldn't find it." Lin Fufei knew that every time the princess slept, she had to hold the black cat, but when she waited
When the princess fell asleep, the cat would definitely run out for a walk.
So when she said this, Hongzhu didn't doubt it at all. She was just a little annoyed that she went to Ronghua Palace to find someone at the wrong time. She had gone there at night if she had known it.
When they arrived at the Tenth Princess, Lin Fufei said: "I just feel a little dizzy today. I want to go back and lie down to rest. I don't know if it's possible?"
Hongzhu didn't want her to be here, so she said generously: "Look at your little body, you can't stand it after not sleeping well for several days! You go and have a rest. I'm here with the princess. That's it."
It's just a matter of instructing them to do something. If anyone asks, I'll tell you."
"Sister, you are so kind. Then I will go and lie down for a while." Lin Fufei smiled and thanked, "If Xuanxuan really can't be found, there is no need to look for it. It will probably come back by itself by then."
"Okay, I understand, go ahead! Aren't you still worried about me? Take good care of yourself. The sun is still hot at this time, and people are especially susceptible to illness." Hongzhu said considerately.
Lin Fufei returned to his residence, lay down and rested for a while. He guessed that Ma Cairen should be getting up, so thinking that it would not be too late, he got up, walked around in a circle, and came to the main room.
Sure enough, Ma Cairen was sitting there drinking tea. When he saw him coming, he didn't say anything but gave him a look.
Lin Fufei understood and said: "I came here to ask my master whether we should spend the night in front of the princess as two people or as one person?"
After Ma Cairen heard what she said, he said to the maid in front of him: "It's getting cold this morning and one night. You two go and find all my clothes. It seems that there are two boxes containing Qiong Ying's clothes.
I’ll also find it by the way and take advantage of the nice weather to bask in it.”
After sending everyone away, Ma Cairen asked Lin Fufei: "What's wrong? But what's going on with the princess?"
Lin Fufei knelt down and said, "Master, Sister Hongzhu went to the Queen's Palace today."
Ma Cairen became anxious upon hearing this: "What is she going to do? How do you know?"
"Master, don't worry. Sister Hongzhu went there to find the maid Magpie in front of the queen, but she didn't see her. Just in case, I followed her quietly along the way, so I know."
