"Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort will naturally arrange for someone to serve me temporarily," I said casually, "You guys will be gone for five days at most. Are you not planning on coming back?"
"That's definitely not it!" Xiao Tao said hurriedly.
I patted their hands in relief and said, "Then you can leave tonight and say you are here to help Concubine Mu leave the palace."
In fact, this reason is quite far-fetched, but for now, my title of "Empress Mu" should still be of some use.
They hesitated for a long time, and I said helplessly, "I miss my parents so much, and now I only trust you two..."
They hurriedly said firmly, "Don't worry, Madam, we will personally deliver it to Madam Zhuang and Master Mu!"
Before they left, I took the initiative to hug them. When I let go, I realized that I was particularly reluctant to let them go: "Be careful."
See you later, never.

When Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao were about to leave Zuo Yao Gate, the guards stopped them sternly, saying, "You are not allowed to leave the palace at this moment!"
"We are the maids of Concubine Mu, and we are here to do something for her outside the palace!" Xiao Cui took out Concubine Mu's badge.
"Empress Mu's badge is useless!" The guards faithfully replied, "Only with a pass can you leave! Go back now!"
Xiao Tao was anxious beside her: "Noble Concubine Mu is His Majesty's most beloved concubine! How dare you stop us!"
Xiao Cui quickly grabbed Xiao Tao, and the guards were furious: "I don't know who Concubine Li or Concubine Liu is! We only recognize the pass token!"

On the city wall.
Song Heng had been standing on the city wall for a long time wearing a cloak. He had been here, waiting for someone to return.
Then, he waited.
"Why is there so much noise down there?" Song Heng frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Ah Fu hesitated, "Yes, it was Imperial Concubine Mu's maid. She said she wanted to help Imperial Concubine Mu out of the palace to do some errands..."
Song Heng was stunned.
Then she smiled softly, as if talking to herself: "You see, Shuang'er is like this, she always considers others when doing things."
Just alone——
Never think about him.
"Let them go." Song Heng closed his eyes, turned around and walked down the stairs.

I paced back and forth in the Chenxiang Pavilion, thinking about the last time I was stopped outside the palace and couldn't get in, and suddenly I felt that I had thought things too simply.
I clenched my hands and wondered how I could get Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao out of the palace if they were stopped later.
It was a cold night, but my hands were sweating.
It was already pitch black outside and a long time had passed, but Xiao Cui and Xiao Tao still hadn't returned.
I sent my new maid to check the city gate, and she replied that there were only guards at the gate.
I finally felt relieved.
It turns out that the title of "Empress Mu" is still useful now.
I had planned to leave from Zuoyao Gate on the night of March 2nd. At that time, Hua Xiang would rebel and break into the palace, and would take away the people from Zuoyao Gate in advance. I would have to take advantage of that opportunity to escape.
Now, if the title of "Empress Mu" is useful, I will have another option.
