Chapter 408 Concubine Jing Leaves the Palace
While having lunch, Qin Chuchu stared at the man in front of her as if she was guarding against a thief, looking ready at all times.
I felt a little relieved when I found that there was nothing wrong with him.
After lunch, she went back to the bedroom to sleep. Looking at the woman's back as she left, the man was frowning.
“…………”
I really thought he was a pervert. After working so hard for so long, he ended up back to his old ways. How can I accept him?
Just as I was feeling depressed, Butler Liu walked in from outside.
"Your Highness, this is a letter from Second Young Master Xiao."
Han Muchen put down the teacup in his hand, took the letter and unfolded it, his face expressionless.
"Master, is there something going on in the capital?"
"…………" Han Muchen didn't say anything, but handed the letter in his hand to him and let him read it himself.
Feng Liu and Feng Qi stretched their necks to look around. There was nothing special, except that the Second Young Master Xiao wanted to come over and take a look.
The letter didn't mention that Concubine Jing would come along. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but mainly because Concubine Jing specifically asked for it, saying she wanted to give her son a surprise.
At this moment, Xiao Qingyun was standing at the city gate with a gloomy face.
After waiting for a long time, an inconspicuous carriage slowly drove towards this direction and stopped in front of them.
Concubine Jing and Nanny Jiang, dressed in plain clothes, got down from the carriage.
"Jing... Oh, Madam, you are here."
Xiao Qingyun quickly changed his words and looked at the two of them, not knowing what to say.
Concubine Jing really didn't know how chaotic the world outside was, so she just brought one person with her.
If she were to sneak away on her own, who knows how dangerous it would be.
When she saw Xiao Qingyun, Concubine Jing was so happy that all her white teeth were exposed.
"Qingyun, sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's get going now!"
Concubine Jing was in an extremely good mood. After she finished speaking, she climbed onto the carriage that Xiao Qingyun had prepared in advance.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Xiao Qingyun felt extremely depressed and decided not to go to the palace to show off.
Otherwise, if he went there alone on horseback, traveling day and night, he would have arrived in two or three days. But now that he has brought Concubine Jing with him, it will take an eternity.
On the other side, in the emperor's study, a dark shadow fell from the sky.
"My Lord, the Queen has already left the city gate."
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand with a gloomy face and looked at the person kneeling in front of him.
"Take good care of it, or you'll lose your head if anything happens!"
"Yes." The man in black nodded and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Eunuch Li, who was standing nearby, hesitated for a moment before coming over.
"Your Majesty, where are you staying tonight?"
In the past, the emperor always rested in Concubine Jing's courtyard, but this time she sneaked out and no one knew which courtyard she went to.
"Is that even a question?"
The emperor glared at Eunuch Li with dissatisfaction. Xiaohua had secretly run away. If he didn't go to her yard, it would not take long for her to be exposed.
Even though I was unhappy, I had to cover for her. There was no other way because I felt sorry for her.
I also know that she loves her son and is bored in the palace. After all, he has been brought into the palace by me for more than 20 years and has never left.
With her temper, she was able to stay in the palace for so many years, all for herself and her son.
Thinking back to what happened several years ago, if Xiaohua hadn't discovered that someone had tampered with her meals, she would have died of exhaustion by now.
Don't be fooled by her carefree and outspoken nature all day long, but she is actually very considerate.
I pay close attention to my diet and the things around me every day, otherwise my body would not always be so strong.
Knowing that this wild horse has been stuck in the palace for too long, he also wanted to let her go out and relax.
But there were so many eyes watching in the palace that it was difficult for him to do it openly. Since she sneaked out this time, let her relax.
At this moment, Concubine Jing, who thought that the emperor was still unaware of the situation, was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
From time to time, I would lift the curtain of the carriage and look outside. Everything I saw was new and beautiful.
Seeing that Concubine Jing was in such a good mood, it would be unkind of me if I didn't come over to cooperate with her.
Xiao Qingyun came over on horseback.
"My lady, why did you bring only one person here?"
While speaking, she glanced at Nanny Jiang in the carriage. In addition to Jiang Momo, she also had a trusted confidant, Nanny Su, so she should have brought them all with her.
"We don't need that many people. Ginger buns are enough."
Concubine Jing glanced at Nanny Jiang beside her. She also wanted to take Nanny Su with her, but the key point was that she was worried about the palace.
Firstly, he needed someone in the palace to cover up for him, and secondly, he was worried about the old man's health.
What if someone with ulterior motives seizes the opportunity and tamper with the old man's food again? He might die before I even return to the palace.
After all, this kind of thing doesn't happen occasionally, and she has dealt with it many times over the years.
Although they were all lowly maids who were not very capable, she knew in her heart that the mastermind behind all this was the Queen, and they were just scapegoats.
She wanted to kill the old man as soon as possible, so that her son could inherit the throne as the queen's legitimate son.
It was a nice thought. Even though she didn't care much about that position, it couldn't be her son's.
It was already good enough that the position of queen was given to her back then, and she was still thinking about inheriting the throne. It would never be her son's turn.
Seeing that Concubine Jing was distracted, Xiao Qingyun did not ask any further questions.
The convoy moved forward slowly and arrived at a small town around noon.
"Ma'am, how about we go to the front and rest for a while?"
Xiao Qingyun pointed to a small restaurant in front of him.
Concubine Jing is frail and must find a room to rest, unlike me, a rough man who can just eat at any roadside stall.
Concubine Jing glanced at the small restaurant in front and nodded decisively.
"Okay, I'll listen to Qingyun."
Several people got off the carriage and entered the small restaurant. Although there was no one there, they still chose a secluded corner to sit down.
"Waiter, what's your specialty?"
Xiao Qingyun looked at the waiter who came over and pointed at the menu in his hand.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, you're here today! We've launched a special dish today: Braised Pork Knuckle with Sauce. Would you like to try one?"
The waiter was introducing the products enthusiastically. If you looked closely, you would find that his eyes were wandering, as if he was calculating something in his mind.
He thought he was hiding well, but the people in front of him caught him and just pretended not to see him.
"Oh, then one." Xiao Qingyun nodded.
I took the menu from the waiter and ordered a few refreshing dishes.
When the waiter happily left, they looked at each other and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
Especially Xiao Qingyun, he was extremely depressed.
“………………”A wonderful trip was ruined. It seemed that they were being targeted.
Soon the food was served, and everyone picked up their bowls and started eating properly.
But after just two bites, they all shook their heads and felt dizzy.
Suddenly, a group of people emerged from nowhere in the empty room and surrounded them.
"Boss, everyone is dizzy!"
