Chapter 117 When it rains, it pours

Gu Qingquan was a little hesitant when she took off the jade token, she didn't want to go back.

But she knew in her heart that she was now a concubine and it was impossible for her to follow them into the mountains to save people.

More importantly, there was chaos in the enclosure today, and she had to help stabilize the women in the court. Thinking of this, although she was unwilling, she still respectfully agreed, "Your Majesty obeys your order."

Having said this, he turned his horse around and headed straight towards the camp.

Wu Lie glanced at her departing back, and there wasn't much expression on her face beneath the mask.

…

On the other side, at the other side of the tent, Qinglu had already gone to find the guards to rescue people as soon as Shuhong chased through the dense forest. Unfortunately, Bai Qianqian was entertaining the female relatives in the tent and refused to let the guards leave with her.

"The imperial guards here are here to protect the safety of the emperor's tent. How can they just leave because of your words? You said that Concubine Lang Gui was abducted by something, so take a few palace maids and go look for it first."

As she spoke, she pointed to a few eunuchs and palace maids, and said in a very generous manner, "All of you go with me to look for the person first. When the emperor comes back, I will report to him and he will decide whether to send more people."

Qinglu was so anxious that she was about to get angry. After hearing Bai Qianqian's arrangement, she knelt down in front of her.

"Lady Concubine Lian, that is a wild beast. Without the imperial guards, how can we subdue it even if we find someone? Please give the order, Lady Concubine Lian, and send some people first. I kowtow to you."

As Qinglu spoke, she kowtowed to her several times. Bai Qianqian, however, still looked as if she was putting the overall situation first, and only reprimanded in a low voice,

"Girl, why are you so unruly? Didn't I already arrange for someone to take her away? You said that Concubine Lang Gui was abducted by a wild beast, but that wild beast always attacks people. Why would it deliberately abduct people? This is clearly a contradiction."

The female relatives nearby had already changed their expressions when they heard that Concubine Lang Gui was abducted by wild beasts. Now they looked at Bai Qianqian who was not in a hurry.

To put it nicely, it means being stable; to put it bluntly, it means that it is obviously none of your business.

A few people frowned and wanted to help persuade them, but the female relatives who were on good terms with the Bai family had already spoken, and the words they spoke were praises.

"What Concubine Lian said is absolutely right. How could the palace maids around Concubine Lang Gui speak so confusingly? In my opinion, what Concubine Lian just arranged is very appropriate."

"That's right."

"Instead of wasting time like this, it would be better to take a few eunuchs with you to look for him, so as not to be late... Ouch."

When Qinglu heard this, she felt anxious and desperate, but she also knew that Concubine Lian must have done it on purpose. She didn't want to waste any more time, so she got up and walked out.

At this moment, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves approaching. Everyone looked up and saw Concubine Quan riding a horse quickly towards the tent, with sand and dust rolling under the horse's hooves, and she only stopped in front of the tent.

Bai Qianqian and the others were just puzzled when they saw Gu Qingquan suddenly raise the jade card in his hand towards the imperial guards near the imperial tent, and his voice was cold and crisp, "The emperor has ordered that half of the imperial guards stay behind, and the rest go into the mountains to rescue people!"

Gu Qingquan's move made such a loud noise that Qinglu almost shed tears in excitement. The deputy commander of the imperial guards at the side immediately stepped forward to receive the order. Without any hesitation, he quickly deployed the garrison troops and assembled them in less than a quarter of an hour.

He ran quickly in the direction indicated by Gu Qingquan.

The sound of horse hooves gradually fading away sounded to Bai Qianqian like slaps on her face.

As soon as she said that they were not allowed to go, Concubine Quan took the emperor's order and transferred everyone away.

This was a slap in her face.

Feeling the various looks from the women around her, Bai Qianqian could only try to maintain her composure, though the hands hanging by her sides were already clenched into fists.

It's just Si Linglong.

I wish I could be eaten alive by wild beasts and never come back!

Bai Qianqian was thinking secretly, but she saw another palace maid running hurriedly over from the other side. She was the one in charge of His Majesty's imperial tent.

"Madam Tsuen, Xue Sha is also missing, what should we do?"

Bai Qianqian, who was directly ignored: ...

Gu Qingquan, who had just dismounted and was getting ready, frowned.

This is really a case of "when it rains it pours".

But now, the emperor may not care about Xuesha anymore.
