Suman was not surprised by this.
As soon as Qi Xing knew she had come to the outskirts of Beijing, he would definitely send someone to look for her. Eunuch Hong and the others came in such a hurry, they must be afraid that she had already escaped.
Su Man stood up and said calmly, "Since my father-in-law is so urgent, I will go with him."
She looked at Aunt Liu, her eyes twinkling slightly, "Please help me pack up, Aunt Liu, and then go back home to report to my parents."
Aunt Liu understood Su Man's implication and said, "Yes, Miss."
...
When going down the mountain, Su Man saw more than a dozen guards with swords beside the carriage brought by Eunuch Hong.
She pretended not to see and took the eunuch's hand to get into the carriage.
The carriage was moving very fast and the interior was shaking violently.
Su Man touched her chest and asked, "Eunuch Hong, did something happen in the palace?"
The smile on Eunuch Hong's face was very fake. "With His Highness here, what could possibly happen? It's just that His Highness misses Miss Liu and is anxious for our family to take you back."
Su Man sneered in her heart, missing?
Does Qi Xing still have feelings for these people?
He could torture Qiu Niang, who loved him, to death, as well as the souls in the well.
He is so unscrupulous. If he were to ascend to the throne, the whole world would become a victim of his selfish desires.
Su Man lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked outside.
The carriage sped along the road, with guards in front and behind. Passersby saw the word "Royal" on the carriage and dodged in panic.
Finally, before dark, they entered the palace.
The sedan chair had already been prepared, and Su Man was taken in after getting off the carriage. When she got off the sedan chair, Su Man found that the place in front of her was not Kunning Palace, but Fragrance Palace.
She turned to the red eunuch beside her and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is the palace that His Highness has chosen for you."
"The palace chosen for me?"
Su Man was a little surprised. There was only one master of the palace, and that was the emperor. Qi Xing, as a prince, actually took over the palace, which was a crime of disrespect.
Qi Xing was not such a careless person. He did this for only one reason: the entire palace was under his control.
Thinking of this, Su Man tentatively said, "I haven't paid my respects to the Emperor and the Empress yet since I entered the palace. Please inform me, eunuch."
"The Emperor is seriously ill and has disappeared. The Empress is also bedridden due to grief. Miss, you should rest first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongmei came out of the Fragrance Palace. She and several palace maids surrounded Su Man and said, "Miss Liu, please come in."
Although their tone was respectful, Suman knew she had no right to refuse.
-
Su Man sat in the bedroom and watched the palace maid outside close the door.
It seems that she is under house arrest.
Su Man originally planned to wait for Qiu Niang to come to her and then ask her about it.
But she waited until late at night, but there was no sign of Qiu Niang.
How could this happen? If Qiu Niang knew she had returned to the palace, she would definitely come to find her. Why hasn't she come yet? Could it be that something happened to Qiu Niang?
"Meow..."
Suddenly, Suman heard a faint cat's meow.
Although the sound was very small, Su Man was still frightened. She couldn't sit still and directly opened the door outside.
The two palace maids at the door stopped her instantly, "Miss Liu, what do you want?"
Su Man's eyes moved down, then raised again. She said lightly, "I'm a little hungry. Could you please bring me some snacks?"
"Yes, Miss Liu, please wait inside."
Su Man closed the door as she was told.
The moment the two doors closed, a little cat suddenly jumped onto Suman's legs.
Su Man was both worried and surprised. She pinched the back of its neck and lifted it up. "Didn't I leave you at Liu Mansion? Why did you come here?"
"Meow~"
Mimi kicked her four legs like a little turtle and tried to get into Su Man's arms.
Su Man felt soft-hearted and put the small ball in her arms.
I don't know how long Mimi was gone before she came back. Her little paws were frozen cold, which made Su Man feel very distressed. She couldn't help but complain, "I specifically asked the servants in Liu Mansion to take good care of you. Why did you run away?"
“Meow!”
I don't want to be a fat housewife at home, I want to be with my master~
Su Man was helpless and pinched its soft little ears, "I almost forgot you are a naughty little kitten."
However, Mimi's coming at this time seemed to be able to help her.
Su Man scratched Mimi's belly and asked, "Do you still remember Uncle Xu from the mansion?"
Mimi tilted her head, her big eyes full of confusion.
"That's the one who always carries the medicine bowl and feeds you dried fish."
When Mimi heard the words "dried fish", her eyes widened noticeably and she nodded happily.
Su Man breathed a sigh of relief. There was no paper or pen here, so she found a book, tore off a page, and used the lip balm on the dressing table as a pen.
After finishing writing, Su Man folded it and told Mimi, "Someone will come to deliver food later. Can you go out quietly and help me deliver this?"
"Meow~"
Guaranteed to complete the task~
Su Man explained the route in detail many times, and looking at Mimi's short legs, she added worriedly, "Don't worry, just walk slowly."
She was afraid that Mimi's paws would be cold, so she found a few handkerchiefs, wrapped all four of Mimi's little paws, and nodded with satisfaction.
Mimi’s indifferent face: There is a kind of coldness, which is when your mother thinks you are cold.
So, Mimi sneaked out when the palace maid came to deliver midnight snack.
-
Su Man was afraid that Mimi would be cold when she came back, so she didn't sleep well all night. Finally, she waited for it to come back before dawn.
The note stuffed in its "sock" was replaced with another one, which also came with a pill.
