Xiao Feng asked: "Can you find out the identity of that old woman again?"
Liu Changchang: "My subordinates are incompetent and haven't found any useful clues yet."
"Continue to investigate, and don't let go of any clues."
Liu Changchang immediately responded: "Yes!"
Xiao Feng waved his hand: "Go down."
"My subordinates resign."
Liu Changchang lowered his head and exited silently. Xiao Feng leaned on the chair, bent his right index finger, and gently pressed the armrest of the phone. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, Xiao Feng opened his eyes and said casually
Asked: "What is Miss Le doing these days?"
Eunuch Xia took half a step forward, bowed and said: "Miss Le has been wandering around those two boxes of medicinal materials recently. It seems that she is planning to brew medicine."
Xiao Feng: "Do you know what medicine she brewed?"
Eunuch Xia: "There are many varieties, and most of them are pills for treating headaches, fever, wind, cold, and trauma."
They were all commonly used medicines, and they didn't sound suspicious. Xiao Feng didn't ask any more questions, picked up a memorial and continued to review it carefully. He had been wary of Xiao Lezi since he secretly escaped from the palace last time.
, for fear that she would sneak away again, and her sudden disappearance outside the palace on the night of the Qiqiao Festival made him even more uneasy.
He must keep an eye on her. Whenever she has the slightest idea of leaving the palace, he must nip it in the cradle as soon as possible!
In the Mei Qing Palace, Xiao Lezi shook the rattle in his hand and said with a smile: "Ajing, Ajing, call me aunt."
Xiao Jing stood on the imperial concubine's bed and walked, waving her chubby little arms, opening her mouth to reveal her two shiny baby teeth: "Dog! Dog! Hug!"
Xiao Lezi didn't believe that she couldn't change his "dog" to "aunt"! She threw away the rattle in her hand, beckoned for Cabbage, took out one from the cloth bag that Cabbage brought and wrapped it in glutinous rice paper
The candy painting, this thing was made by her on a whim, and she asked the people in the imperial kitchen to make it. The golden and crispy honey candy is painted with a fat little pig, which is very naive.
She dangled the candy painting in front of Xiao Jing, and kept teasing him to call him aunt. The child saw the candy painting for the first time and was very curious. He staggered towards her, drooling and calling dog in a crisp voice.
dog.
Xiao Lezi was very angry. Regardless of threats or inducements, this kid was like a dog when he opened his mouth. It was so bad!
She opened her mouth angrily and bit off the fat ears of the piglet in one bite. She chewed them loudly and said, "Huh, if I don't give it to you, I'll make you look greedy. I'll see if you call me a dog in the future."
No!"
Seeing her eating the piglet candy painting, Xiao Jing's eyes immediately turned red, and he sat down on the couch and started crying loudly, not forgetting to shout: "The dog is bad!"
You are a dog! Your whole family is a dog!
Ah, she's scolding herself! Xiao Lezi quickly retracted her slander and put the candy painting of a pig with one missing ear into Xiao Jing's hand, hugged him and comforted him softly: "Okay, okay.
Hey, I’ve given you the candy painting, so don’t cry anymore. You have to be good and be a good baby, and my aunt will bring you delicious food in the future!”
After coaxing and telling a lot of good things, the little devil was coaxed to stop crying. He held the sugar painting stick tightly and imitated the little fun of biting the sugar painting, but he couldn't bite it, and he suddenly felt that it was very uncomfortable.
It tastes so good that I want to throw it away.
Xiao Lezi quickly stopped him. She lowered her head, licked the candy painting with her tongue, and said, "If you want to eat it like this, don't bite it, just lick it with your tongue."
Although Xiao Jing was young, his imitation ability was very strong. He drew the gourd in the same way, stretched out his pink and tender tongue and licked the sugar paintings. When he tasted the sweetness, he was very happy and kept licking the sugar paintings.
They all refused to let go.
When Princess Su changed her clothes and walked in, she saw her son holding a sugar painting and licking his mouth full of syrup. His aunt was kindly encouraging him to lick a few more times, and she deliberately tore it into pieces.
Strips of sticky rice paper stuck to his forehead.
Her son was having a good time. Concubine Su shook her head helplessly, walked over and took the candy painting from her son's hand, tore off the sticky rice paper on his face, picked him up, handed him to the two nuns, and said: "
Take the twenty-one prince to take a bath and change into some clothes."
The two nuns agreed and carried Xiao Jing to the next room to take a shower.
Xiao Lezi's hands were all sticky with syrup from playing just now. Cabbage brought hot water to wait for her to wash her hands.
Concubine Su sat opposite her and looked at her helplessly: "How old are you? You are still like a child, and you still know how to bully my A Jing."
Xiao Lezi wiped his hands and asked all the palace maids in the room to retreat. Then he leaned sideways on the couch and said with a lazy smile: "My little sister is eight years old this year. She is still young. Why can't she act like a child?"
It’s time to play!”
Seeing that she was not formal when she spoke, Concubine Su felt both funny and angry, and said: "You are a big girl who is about to get married, and you can still say that you are eight years old. How shameless!"
Hearing this, Xiao Lezi's expression paused, her smile faded a lot, and she said, "Sister, I don't want to get married."
Concubine Su said in confusion: "I heard that Your Majesty plans to make you a concubine. Although the imperial edict has not been officially issued, this matter has been approved by the Queen Mother and the entire palace knows about it. Why do you say you don't want to?"
Married? Could it be that something happened? Did His Majesty regret it? It shouldn’t be the case. His Majesty spoke so eloquently, how could he not keep his word..."
"No," Xiao Lezi lowered his head and curled his hair with his fingers, explaining in a low voice, "I don't want to marry him, I don't want to be a concubine, I want to leave the palace."
Concubine Su was stunned and asked softly: "Why?"
Xiaolezi answered succinctly: "I don't want to share a man with other women."
Concubine Su: "I understand, are you angry with His Majesty because of the matter of canonizing the queen? Although I don't like men having three wives and four concubines, as a king, this is unavoidable. Look away, don't
I care too much about these details. The most important thing is that His Majesty loves you and loves you. This is enough."
"But he can't guarantee that he will love me all his life," Xiao Lezi bit his lower lip and frowned slightly, "He loves me now. He can make me his concubine and reward me with all the good things. Where will he wait?
Tian suddenly got tired of it, and he could take back all his love at any time. What should I do then? In this palace, he can still live a happy life without me. Anyway, there are many beautiful women who are interested in him.
Yes, but I can't. Without his favor, I might not be able to survive even a day in this palace. I don't want to live this kind of life with today and no tomorrow."
As if she didn't expect that she would say such a thing, Concubine Su was slightly stunned, silent for a moment, and then slowly sighed: "I understand what you mean, if I have a choice, I don't want to go to the palace and live like this.
The days are precarious, but we have all come in, and I have even given birth to a child, so I can only accept my fate."
Having said this, Concubine Su seemed to have thought of something. Her expression paused, and then she looked surprised and asked in a low voice: "Ale, are you planning to escape from the palace?"
Just now, I just thought she was joking, but now that I think about it, I feel that she really had this intention, which surprised Princess Su very much.
Xiao Lezi raised his head and looked at her calmly: "Well, I already have a plan to leave the palace, and there are people outside the palace to help me. I know that if I do this, my sister may be implicated if it fails, so
I want my sister to come with me."
Concubine Su shook her head and refused without thinking: "No, I am Ah Jing's biological mother. I cannot leave the palace, let alone leave Ah Jing alone. He is still too young and needs my care."
Before Xiaolezi made this suggestion, she had already thought that her sister would refuse, so she was not too disappointed after hearing these words. She said: "I don't trust my sister living in this palace..."
"Don't worry, I'm a concubine now. I no longer need to compete for favors. I have almost no interest disputes with other women in the palace. I just need to work hard to raise Ah Jing. When he reaches adulthood, the emperor will make him a prince and wait for him to go.
Then I can live in my own fiefdom and retire in this palace with peace of mind." When Su Taifei said this, her tone was very calm and her mood was very peaceful.
She is more open-minded than before.
Her sister didn't want to leave, and Xiao Lezi didn't want to stay in front of her. She respected her sister's decision.
After hearing her plan to leave the palace, Princess Su frowned and said: "Although this method is feasible, the risk is too high. If your Majesty finds out and commits the crime of deceiving the emperor, even if your Majesty does not kill you, the Queen Mother will never let you go.
Pass you."
"I also know that this is extremely risky, but for now, this is the only way I can try," Xiao Lezi clenched his fist slightly and said every word seriously, "This is my last resort, I don't want to
I am not willing to give up."
Concubine Su sighed and said: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I can't persuade you anymore. If you need help with anything, just tell me and I will do my best."
Her words reminded Xiao Lezi of Grandma Qi. The two women said the same words to her, which moved her. Even though they knew she was about to fall into a trap, they still trusted her unconditionally.
This feeling of being trusted is really warm.
Xiaolezi held her hand and said, "Sister, thank you."
Concubine Su held her hand in return and smiled slightly: "Silly girl, we are sisters, thank you for whatever you say, it just sounds like it!"
Xiao Lezi leaned over and hugged her neck, hanging on her like a koala, rubbing against her from time to time, smiling and saying coquettishly: "Sister is so kind to me. When Ah Jing grows up, he will go to the fiefdom.
I will steal my sister out of the palace, and then I will take care of her until she is old."
Concubine Su stretched out her hand and scratched her nose, and smiled softly: "Okay, when I get old, I will rely on you to support me."
Xiao Lezi laughed so shamelessly that Concubine Su asked again: "After you leave the palace, do you have any plans?"
"I want to walk around and see more," Xiao Lezi said. She used to like traveling, and now she has finally traveled through time. If she can't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to indulge her travel addiction, she will be sorry for the blessing of the time-traveling god.
!
Concubine Su said: "You are from a girl's family. Running around alone can easily attract bad people. What if there is an accident? In my opinion, you'd better find a secluded place first.
Give it another three to five years. When the situation in Wushuang City calms down a bit, you can go to Southern Xinjiang again. Our biological mother, the Lan family, is from the Southern Xinjiang area. When you arrive in Southern Xinjiang, ask someone to inquire about the Lan family.
Wherever you live, after meeting the elder of the Lan clan, she will show him the butterfly birthmark on your back, and he will know your identity and take good care of you." (To be continued)
