However, Ning Qian could not hear Xia Huanyu's answer, so she only felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck and lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, Ning Qian had returned to Xiangzhu Hall and was lying on the bed in the inner hall of Xiangzhu Hall. It seemed to be ten in the afternoon, and the light coming from the window was already dim.
"Qian Xin." Ning Qian's heart tightened and she called out, but she was thinking about why Xia Huanyu didn't kill her directly to silence her. If he killed her, he could just say that she died of a fetal collapse and hemorrhage, and no one else would.
will doubt.
There were faint footsteps at the door of the palace, Ning Qian frowned, secretly alert in her heart, she was not Qianxin, and she was a person with strong martial arts skills.
The door curtain was opened, and a woman dressed as a palace maid walked in and stood in front of the bed respectfully: "Concubine Xiang, Miss Qianxin has been transferred to another palace. Concubine Xiang has just given birth and is not in good health.
That's great, Your Majesty has sent a slave to take care of you. My name is Qingdai."
Ning Qian carefully looked at the palace maid standing in front of the bed. After being silent for a long time, she said softly: "Qingdai, your name is quite nice."
Qingdai's face was cold and unmoved, she just lowered her head lightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Madam."
Ning Qian calmly looked back, "Has Your Majesty ever said how long I need to rest?"
Qingdai's voice came, "Your Majesty did not give any orders, but the fetus needs to be recuperated and recuperated. If it leaves the root of the disease, it will not be good. At least it will have to be a confinement period."
A small confinement period? Ning Qian curled her lips, that would be a month and a half.
She fainted in Weiyang Palace. She had clearly heard Xia Huanyu's questioning of the Queen before. She must have thought that the Queen's life would not be easy.
Did Xia Huanyu want to use her to deal with the queen?
Ning Qian slowly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. It coincided with her purpose and the eldest princess's instructions, and it saved her a lot of trouble. It turned out that Xia Huanyu had spared no effort to bring her into contact with Gao Qian.
She was in a high position, and even gave her the Queen's Seal, just for this day. The higher her status and the more favored she was, the more dangerous the Queen would be.
If you touch the Queen, it will inevitably involve the Su family behind the Queen. Your Majesty's ambition is really not small.
Thinking back to the stone tablet incident some time ago, I heard that the last evidence pointed to the Queen, Concubine Shen Shu, Prince Qi, her, and her unborn child. The Queen was afraid that she would not be able to escape this time.
Qingdai looked at Ning Qian and frowned slightly. She didn't know why this stunning woman looked so happy at this time. Seeing the smile on her lips, she didn't seem to be afraid at all.
"I'm a little hungry, let's go get some food." Ning Qian turned her head and looked at Qingdai, thought for a while, and then said: "I just gave birth and am not in good health. I want to eat some red bean soup.
Let’s stew a fish, it’ll be lighter.”
Qing Dai frowned and glanced at Ning Qian, with a warning in her voice: "I have to remind Concubine Xiang that the Xiang Bamboo Palace has been surrounded by people for a long time. Concubine Xiang should not raise any eyebrows.
You have the best intentions.”
"Huh?" Ning Qian's eyes were filled with confusion: "I know what my situation is now, so I don't need Miss Qingdai to remind me."
Qingdai looked a little bad, glanced at Ning Qian, and then left.
Ning Qian lifted the quilt and stood up. She still didn't understand why Xia Huanyu didn't kill her directly, but trapped her in the Xiangzhu Palace.
Everything in the palace was as usual, except that the windows were closed. Ning Qian walked to the window and pushed the window, but found that the window could not be pushed open at all. With a move in her heart, she walked back to the soft couch and sat down.
After having dinner calmly as usual and washing up, Ning Qian lay down on the couch early to rest. Seeing Qingdai still standing in the palace, Ning Qian frowned: "I don't like people sleeping in me.
When I was serving in the palace, as you said, this Xiangzhu Palace looks like this now. Even if I have wings, I can’t fly. Moreover, I am just an ordinary woman who doesn’t know martial arts. What do you have to worry about?
of."
Qingdai glanced at Ning Qian, then turned around and left the inner hall. Ning Qian sighed softly, stood up and extinguished the glazed lamp in the hall, then lay back on the bed.
There was silence in the palace. Ning Qian closed her eyes, but she felt that there were at least thirty people around the dormitory.
Why did Xia Huanyu do this?
Ning Qian frowned, maybe because she slept for too long during the day, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all.
After carefully sorting out everything that had happened recently, Ning Qian had some guesses in her mind. Could it be that it was for the eldest princess?
She was recommended to the palace by the eldest princess. Did Xia Huanyu feel that the eldest princess would definitely contact her, so he specially set up a dragnet to wait for the eldest princess.
Qingdai said earlier that she had a miscarriage and had to take a small confinement. Could it be that Xia Huanyu did something to be so sure that he could catch the eldest princess within a month and a half?
The night is getting darker, but the number of people outside has not decreased at all.
Ning Qian was also a little tired, so she turned over and wanted to close her eyes to rest, but suddenly she found a hand grabbing her arm. Ning Qian's heart condensed, and she grabbed the hand suddenly, only to see someone
The figure emerged from under the bed.
The night was very deep, and the palace was dark. Ning Qian could only vaguely see the outline of the person, who seemed to be a woman. Ning Qian felt a little palpitated in her heart. Who was she? Why was she under her bed? And she didn't feel it at all just now.
There was no sound of breathing under the bed.
The woman quickly covered Ning Qian's mouth with her other hand, turned over on the bed, and lay down next to Ning Qian.
"Concubine Xiang, don't be afraid, I am Qianyan." The woman's breath sounded beside Ning Qian.
Qian Yan, Ning Qian was stunned for a moment before she remembered this woman. This woman seemed to be the master's, and he came to find her by himself, saying that the master asked her to come to Xiangzhu Hall.
Later, after the master entered the palace, he also looked for her and asked her.
But why is she under the bed?
The woman who claimed to be Qianyan quickly answered her question, "Not long after the empress went to Weiyang Palace, someone came over to ask the palace people to leave. I felt something was wrong, so I took advantage of them not paying attention.
Hidden under the bed."
Ning Qian was a little surprised that no one found her after she had been hiding under the bed for so long.
Just as she was secretly surprised, she heard Qianyan say aggrievedly: "I'm hungry."
Ning Qian couldn't help laughing, sighed, nodded, and pointed under the bed.
Qian Yan responded quickly and went back to lie down under the bed. Ning Qian stood up and lit the palace lantern with pictures of beauties on the table. Qing Dai quickly walked in from outside and said, "Mother, it's so late."
Still not sleeping?"
Ning Qian frowned and nodded lightly: "Go and pass some midnight snacks to me. I slept a lot during the day and had some insomnia. Now I'm a little hungry again."
Qingdai glanced at Ning Qian and saw that her expression was as usual, so she nodded and left.
After a while, Qingdai came in with midnight snacks. Ning Qian asked her to put down the midnight snacks and then asked her to step back. Then she picked up a plate of walnut cheese, walked to the bedside, and handed it over.
The sound of rustling eating came from below, and Ning Qian sat quietly by the bed, thinking in her heart, Qianyan was in this room, how should she use Qianyan's power to escape.
What she is best at is disguise. If she and Qianyan disguise each other...
After a while, Qianyan finished eating and handed the plate over. Ning Qian took it and took another bowl of red bean porridge and handed it to Qianyan.
After Qianyan finished using it, Ning Qian called Qingdai to pack things. Qingdai put the bowls and chopsticks into the food box, and then Ning Qian said, "I don't know, how did Your Majesty deal with the Queen?"
Qingdai's hand paused slightly and she did not speak.
Ning Qian then said: "Your Majesty just ordered me to recuperate in the palace, but you never said what happened to the culprit who did not let me know about my pregnancy..."
Qing Dai sneered, and then said calmly: "I found traces of musk oil soaked in the styrax smoked in Weiyang Palace. Your Majesty was furious, and the people who were already serving in the Weiyang Palace took all the palace people in the Weiyang Palace to the inner serving supervisor.
Under strict interrogation.”
Musk.
Ning Qian slowly raised the corners of her lips and smiled. It was really nothing new, but it was very effective.
Moreover, musk oil is not as immediately noticeable as musk. Musk oil has almost no smell, but it is very effective, but it is extremely difficult to find.
I just don't know what the queen's reaction would be if she knew that this was a trap set by Xia Huanyu for her.
Ning Qian thought and laughed again. The harem was really dirtier and more complicated than anywhere else.
Qingdai walked out with the food box, and Ning Qian walked to the bed, wrote a piece of paper, and threw it under the bed.
Then he blew out the lamp, went back to the bed and lay down. A soft voice came from under the bed, "I can't contact Princess Rui for the time being, but there is a way to contact the people around Prince Rui."
Ning Qian thought for a while and then replied softly.
The same goes for being able to contact Prince Rui. Now the master is probably with Prince Rui.
Ning Qian thought, and there were many secret guards in her palace, something like this happened today, and she was afraid that even though they didn't understand what was going on, they would definitely spread the news.
Ning Qian lay on the bed for a while and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Ning Qian got up. She was recuperating, and no one could come in to see her. She didn't need to dress up, so she simply put on her outer robe and sat reading in the inner hall.
She stood beside her all the time, pouring sweet tea and water from time to time, and she really looked like a dutiful palace maid.
After sitting all morning, Ning Qian almost didn't move. The curtain outside was lifted, and Ning Qian looked up and saw a palace maid dressed the same as Qingdai walking in: "Sister Qingdai, Your Majesty is sending you a message.
Go to Tai Chi Hall."
Qingdai responded, ordered the palace maid to watch carefully, and then walked out.
Ning Qian's eyebrows moved. Hearing the footsteps of the woman who just came in, he knew that her martial arts was not very good. The corners of Ning Qian's mouth curled up slightly. Her chance seemed to have come. (To be continued)
