The palace maid didn't know exactly what was said in the letter, but she could roughly guess what happened.
"Slave, leave now!"
The palace maid hid the secret message, immediately returned to her room, changed her clothes, and quietly went out through the side door.⑧①ZW.????m
Long Chen came out of the East Palace and hid in the dark to observe. Soon he saw the palace maid changing into casual clothes and going out.
Long Chen secretly laughed in his heart: Sure enough, he fell into the trap.
Long Chen immediately walked quickly into the imperial concubine's palace.
Hong'er saw Long Chen coming in and asked in surprise: "Why are you here again?"
Immediately, Hong'er asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for me again? You are such a person that you will not give up until you have enough meat."
Hong'er thought that Long Chen came back to look for her, and she felt a little angry.
Long Chen said: "We have business, where is the noble concubine?"
Seeing that Long Chen didn't move or move, Hong'er suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"My queen is listening to music in the pavilion. Come with me."
It's rare for Long Chen to be so serious. Hong'er probably has something big going on.
Hong'er led the way, and Long Chen entered the pavilion. Concubine Li was holding a fan and listening to the singer singing a song.
Seeing Long Chen coming over, the imperial concubine was a little surprised and asked: "Why are you here again? What's the matter?"
Long Chen walked over and whispered into the imperial concubine's ear: "The Crown Princess invited me over to see a doctor just now. I secretly heard that she was sending people to Witch City and wanted the Crown Prince to bring troops back."
"She just left. She was the royal concubine's personal maid."
Concubine Li immediately stood up and pulled Long Chen into the small room next to her.
"you sure?"
Concubine Li asked anxiously.
If Shi Haoran leads his troops back to the royal city, the situation will immediately reverse regardless of whether the queen is alive or dead.
At that time, it would be very difficult or even impossible for Concubine Li to kill Xiao Lizi, or to take control of the royal city and ask Shi Le to make her the queen.
There are already rumors in the outside world that the Queen's poisoning was caused by Concubine Li Guifei instigating Liu Yubi.
If Shi Haoran listens to the rumors, it will be difficult for Concubine Li to have a happy ending.
"Make sure, I watched her leave before coming back to report the news."
Long Chen didn't tell lies, he did come after watching the palace maid leave.
Concubine Li asked: "In which direction did you go?"
Long Chen said: "Ximen, she goes to Ximen."
Concubine Li frowned and said: "Shi Haoran is in Wu City in the southeast. She deliberately walked through the west gate."
Long Chen echoed: "This is an attack from the east and an attack from the west."
Concubine Li nodded and said: "Okay, you can go back. If there is any situation, report it immediately."
Long Chen bowed and said, "I obey."
After leaving the small room, Long Chen went outside. Hong'er asked: "What's so urgent?"
Before Long Chen could answer, he heard the imperial concubine looking for Hong'er.
"You go ahead, I'll go back first."
Long Chen quietly walked out of the back door and returned to Liu Mansion carrying the medicine box.
Hong'er entered the small room, and Concubine Li said: "Bring me a pen and ink!"
Hong'er secretly thought that something was wrong. Concubine Li wanted to write a secret letter, and it must be to Li Guangliang, the governor of Jingzhao.
I just came back from Jingzhao Mansion and it’s really a headache to have to go there again.
Hong'er immediately brought pen and ink, and Concubine Li wrote a secret letter and gave it to Hong'er, saying: "Give it to Fu Yin immediately, go now!"
Hong'er had no choice but to take the secret letter and immediately walked out of the back door and hurried to Jingzhao Mansion.
The yamen officer at the door felt strange that Hong'er had just left, why was she here again?
"Miss Hong'er, are you looking for Mr. Fu Yin again?"
The yamen officer at the door asked.
Hong'er said coldly: "Is this what you should ask?"
Since the yamen servants were of low status, Hong'er could reprimand them at will.
The yamen servant didn't dare to reply and immediately let Hong'er in.
Once inside, Hong'er found Li Guangliang and said, "Master Fu Yin, the imperial concubine has a secret message."
Li Guangliang was thinking about what happened at night. When Hong'er came, Li Guangliang felt a little dizzy.
"Is there another secret message?"
Li Guangliang took the bamboo tube, and Hong'er immediately left and hurried back to the palace.
She didn't want to stay here any longer, she was afraid that she would be killed like Xue'er.
Li Guangliang opened the bamboo tube and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Murong Hua!"
Li Guangliang shouted, and a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist walked in, holding a long knife on his waist.
This is Murong Hua, the headman of Jingzhao Mansion, a confidant of Li Guangliang.
"grown ups."
Murong Hua, with sword eyebrows and hawk eyes, looks very majestic.
"Do you know Fu Rong, the personal maid of the Crown Princess of the East Palace?"
"Know, capture or kill?"
Murong Hua is very direct.
Li Guangliang said: "She left from the west gate to deliver a message to Wucheng. You can intercept her and bury her body."
Murong Hua bowed his hands and rode out of the east gate alone.
Murong Hua did not pursue him from the west gate, but walked from the east gate.
The palace maid walked through the west gate in order to hide her from others. In the end, she had to go southeast, so Murong Hua intercepted her at the southeast.
For things like murder, stay away from the royal city.
When Murong Hua left Jingzhao Mansion, a spy immediately returned to the Forbidden Army Yamen.
The spy found Commander Zhou Hao and reported: "Commander, Hong'er from the imperial concubine's palace entered Jingzhao Mansion. Not long after, Murong Hua rode alone from the east gate direction."
Zhou Hao has been monitoring Jingzhao Mansion and Concubine Li.
Zhou Hao asked in confusion: "Murong Hua is out of the city? What is he going to do?"
The situation in the city is very tense. Murong Hua is Li Guangliang's confidant. It is unwise to leave the royal city at this time.
Unless it is said that Murong Hua has an extremely important mission.
Zhou Hao said: "Continue to monitor."
After the spy retreated, Zhou Hao immediately called for five capable men and ordered: "Murong Hua has left the city. Go and keep an eye on him to see what he is going to do. It is best to capture him alive. If not..."
Making a killing gesture, the five men immediately rode out of the city and pursued the attack southeast.
After the people left, Zhou Hao went into the inner room, where Shi Yuncheng was sitting.
"Your Highness, Concubine Li Guangliang and Li Guangliang are very active."
Shi Yuncheng looked gloomy and said, "If Murong Hua leaves at this time, there must be something big going on."
Zhou Hao said: "When they come back, we will know what happened."
Shi Yuncheng nodded slightly.
The palace maid Fu Rong came out of the East Palace and disguised herself as a peasant woman and went out of the west gate.
When she arrived outside the city, she spent money to buy a horse, and immediately rode the horse around the royal city, and then ran toward the southeast.
The matter was urgent, and the palace maid Fu Rong did not dare to delay.
By evening, the palace maid Fu Rong had traveled more than a hundred miles, and she was too tired to run after sitting down.
There is a town ahead where you can stay overnight. Furong plans to have a meal, change horses and continue on the night journey.
"drive..."
Furong whipped her whip, sat down on her horse, and walked forward with tired hooves.
After walking a few steps, I saw a man walking out of the woods on the roadside.
This man was wearing black cloth, carrying a long knife at his waist, with sword-shaped eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a cold face.
"Murong Hua!"
The palace maid knew Murong Hua.
Murong Hua is very famous in the capital, not because of how good he is at solving crimes, but because of his ruthless methods and killing without blinking an eye.
The moment she saw Murong Hua, Furong secretly thought something bad was going to happen.
"The Crown Princess went to Jingzhao Mansion to report that you stole something and ran away. Come back with me!"
Murong Hua's tone was cold and stern, without any emotion.
The palace maid Fu Rong was surprised. She was very careful when she left the royal city. Why was she still being targeted?
Jingzhao Mansion, Concubine Li's people.
"I am Fu Rong, the maid of the Crown Princess of the East Palace. I am here to deliver a message to the Crown Prince on the orders of the Crown Princess. As the head of the Jingzhao Mansion, please don't talk nonsense."
Furong secretly complained in her heart that there was no village in front of or a shop in the back, and there were woods all around, so there was no way to escape.
"The Crown Princess said that you are a fugitive. If you know what you are doing, dismount immediately. Don't force me to take action!"
