Chapter 153
"How did you get that token?" The voice was a little cold.
When Su Guoer looked back, she saw a thin woman hiding under the fence of the yard.
But she was very familiar with this figure.
It’s Qingniang.
The real owner of this yard. But what did she mean by that?
Could it be...? She also recognizes this token?
Well, that's probably it, but it doesn't seem that simple, because she looks a little unhappy.
Su Guoer was confused, but because Qingniang was also the Imperial Concubine's person, she replied to be on the safe side: "Oh, this is... given to me by someone else."
Then he asked, "Why do you have this token?"
Qingniang said nothing. She walked out from the shadow of the fence and asked Su Guoer, "Did someone give it to you? Then do you know what this token is for?"
Su Guoer: "It seems like I'm the one asking you questions now? You haven't answered my questions yet?"
"Or... you and I are both Concubine Zhang's people, there's no need to quarrel over this matter."
She was making her position clear. They were all Concubine Zhang's people, so Qingniang naturally had the token as well. Of course, this was just what Su Guoer thought.
Because she immediately heard Qingniang sneer, "Who told you that I belong to Concubine Zhang?"
This sentence made Su Guoer's heart skip a beat. She was a little panicked.
He is not Concubine Zhang's man, and with that tone, could it be... that he is from a force hostile to this token?
"What are you thinking about? You haven't answered my question yet!" Qingniang flashed in front of Su Guoer, with the dagger in her hand across her fragile neck.
Qingniang paused, then increased her strength and said, "Speak!"
However, Su Guoer's neck was not scratched, so she still left some room for maneuver.
Su Guoer: "Say it, say it, I'll tell you everything" but she can pick up the words and say them.
"I picked up this token. It was left by a customer when I opened the restaurant before." Her tone was a little impatient, but her words revealed certainty.
But Qingniang obviously didn't believe her.
She snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I will believe what you say? You will keep the token left by others close to your body? Are you kidding me?"
this…………
Su Guoer took a deep breath, feeling somewhat helpless.
"So what do you want? Since you have no intention of killing me, why do you want to force me to tell you the whereabouts of the token? Just tell me what you think it is, isn't that enough?" Su Guoer moved the handle of the knife that was across her neck away.
I just realized that the blade in her hand was not pointing towards me at all.
Su Guoer then continued, "Whether you believe it or not, I got this token by accident. I am not Concubine Zhang's person."
"Besides, I have more important things to do right now. If you really want to know, let me settle Fatty first."
"I will tell you what I know"
Qingniang put away her dagger and put it on her waist. Su Guoer then saw clearly that she was wearing a black nightgown. That's right, otherwise how would she know that she had this token in her hand?
He must have just seen her conversation with Lu Pingan.
Qingniang: "Fat Ya is in the tunnel, come with me"
She had returned to her cold and indifferent demeanor, and Su Guoer was bewildered by this change. She wondered if what she said was true.
But... with her skills, she can't escape.
Su Guoer had no choice but to follow her, asking as they walked, "What tunnel? There are tunnels in this palace? Are you from the imperial family? Do you know what this token is?"
"Hey? How about we exchange secrets? I'll tell you something you absolutely don't know, and you'll tell me the story of this token? How about that?"
Qingniang: "Okay, then first tell me something I absolutely don't know?"
Su Guoer: "Then you have to tell me the origin of that token later."
Qingniang looked at her meaningfully and said only these two words: "Deal."
Su Guoer: "The city gates are open. I guess there should be imperial guards outside."
This... was beyond people's expectations, but Qingniang asked: "How did you know?"
Su Guoer: "I just saw Lu Ping'an with several keys to the palace gates hanging on him, and he also had this token on him. I guess he wants to let someone in."
After saying this, Qingniang was stunned for a long time without moving, as if she was thinking about something.
Su Guoer thought she would rush to rescue her, but she didn't. Instead, she continued to calmly take Su Guoer into the backyard.
There was a well in the backyard. She lifted the cover and saw bright yellow water inside. Su Guoer saw Pang Ya standing inside with a roast chicken in her hand.
Only then did she believe it halfway and followed her down into the well.
Finally, she said, "Here are two packages with some silver in them. If you follow this tunnel straight south, you will reach the outside of the city. The palace is not peaceful right now, so you should take her out of the city to avoid the limelight."
Su Guoer: "Why should I listen to you?"
"Huh? No? Why would you do that? I don't think there's such a relationship between us."
Under the dim light, Su Guoer still asked this question. She had already had a feeling about it. From the first moment she saw Qingniang, she felt a sense of intimacy. Later, she chose to use the handle of the knife to force herself to speak instead of the blade, which showed that she didn't actually want to hurt herself.
But I really can't understand why she did this. Just as Su Guoer herself said, she didn't think the relationship between her and Qingniang was that good.
And: "You haven't answered my question yet. What is the origin of this token?"
Su Guoer had just asked this question when her vision went dark. She was knocked unconscious. When she fainted, Qingniang caught her and placed her directly on Pangya's back.
"Take your master and head south. Remember, you must ensure her safety."
Fatty put the roast chicken in her pocket and replied, "Yes!"
At this time, she was no longer stupid.
Then Qingniang continued, "I didn't mean to ask you to act stupid. It's mainly because this girl is very worried. If I don't use this method, she might not be able to use you with confidence. Now that the matter has come to an end, you don't have to do that. Just stay by her side in the future."
Fatty: "Master, regarding this token..."
Qingniang took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to her to keep: "When she wakes up, give this letter to her and she will know."
Pang Ya obediently put the letter away, then carried Su Guoer and their packages on her back and walked south along the tunnel.
There were lights all along the way, and the tunnel didn't seem so dark anymore.
It was a pity for Changqi who had just passed through the heavy encirclement and arrived at Su Guoer's courtyard.
He searched inside and out, and when he found no one, he wanted to look up to the sky and sigh: "Oh my God, where are the Dong family members?"
