Lady Wen sat down tactfully.
The emperor said, "For so long, I have been busy with the court every day and have never had a chance to relax. But since I have been with my beloved concubine these days, I feel that my empty heart seems to be filled." The emperor grabbed Concubine Wen's hand.
Lady Wen was secretly delighted. This love powder really worked. The emperor took the bait so quickly. So she said lovingly, "Your Majesty, I am the same. I can't sleep every night because I miss you so much."
The emperor picked up the wine pot and found that there was no wine in it. He said, "Then let's use tea instead of wine and drink this cup."
"good."
Lady Wen picked up the tea on the table without any doubt and drank it all. The eunuch smiled wickedly at the door.
The emperor carried Concubine Wen to the bed and began to slowly undress her, but Concubine Wen felt more and more dizzy and sleepy, and eventually fell asleep.
The emperor put on his outer robe and walked out. The eunuch signaled the guards at the door to come in. The guards looked so shifty and shifty that it was unbearable to look at them. When they saw Lady Wen lying on the bed, they pounced on her like a wolf seeing meat.
Looking up at the dark sky, the emperor said to the eunuch, "You watch here. I will go back to my study to sleep tonight."
"yes."
There are four days left until Mingman’s birthday.
Outside the Meng family's courtyard wall, the boys saw that it was already midnight and everyone was asleep, so the four of them tiptoed in through the dog hole and walked quietly inside along the wall.
Their hearts were pounding as they heard footsteps in front of them. They stopped immediately and crawled into the bushes nearby. It was pitch black and their clothes were black, so they couldn't be seen without careful observation.
The patrolling servant passed by and didn't even notice it.
The four people escaped by luck and were about to stand up when they saw another person walking towards them.
They walked in with the faint moonlight and saw that it was a woman. The woman was holding something in her hands. She looked mysterious, and the four of them immediately smelled a secret.
Quietly squat down and follow behind.
I saw the old woman come to the outside of a house, squat in the corner, and start burning paper.
The four of them immediately thought that it was the gold ingots made of paper that they had seen during the day.
All I could hear was the old woman burning paper money while sobbing softly, "Wen'er, today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of your departure. I don't know how you're doing in the afterlife. It's all my fault for not protecting you well. I'll burn some extra paper money for you today. Please don't mistreat yourself in the afterlife."
The four opened their mouths in surprise after hearing this. They seemed to have learned some shocking secret. While the old woman was still immersed in sadness, they hurried out and prepared to leave the Meng family.
Unexpectedly, another patrolling servant came over at this time, and the four of them quickly stood close to the wall, fearing that they would be discovered.
"Whoever is hiding there, come out quickly."
Finished, discovered, the tallest boy whispered, "I'll count to one, two, three, four, and then we'll run together."
"good."
"one."
"two."
"three."
"It's me. I'm burning some paper money for a deceased friend today, and you guys are still interfering?"
The old woman who was burning paper suddenly spoke. The servants were attracted by the old woman and ignored the commotion here.
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's you. It's cold tonight. Go back and rest after the fever is over."
While the servant was talking, the four of them quickly crawled out through the dog hole. After crawling out, they kept running wildly on the street. After running into the alley, the four of them let out a long sigh of relief. They were really scared tonight.
If there is any mistake, death will be waiting for them.
Although the weather was not hot, the four people's clothes were all wet and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.
After completing his task, the guard left the room with a look of enjoyment on his face. The eunuch standing outside the door glanced at the guard, who understood and nodded.
When it was dawn, Lady Wen opened her eyes and looked around. There was no one there but herself. She lifted the quilt and saw a trace of blood on the bed sheet. She felt satisfied. She remembered that she accidentally fell asleep last night and thought that the thing was not done, but there was a bloodstain on the bed sheet, which proved that it was done. When she was about to get up and dress, she found that there was no one in the house to serve her, so she shouted loudly to Xi Que.
The chief eunuch replied from outside the door, "The beauty has woken up. His Majesty went to court early in the morning. Since this is in His Majesty's bedroom, the magpie left last night. His Majesty thought that no one would take care of the beauty, so he left the old slave behind. The palace maids will help the beauty change clothes and have meals later."
When Lady Wen heard this reply, she was immediately happy and felt that His Majesty cared about her very much.
After happily washing up and having breakfast, she walked out of the house with the help of the palace maid.
When she reached the palace gate, she noticed a guard with shifty eyes looking at her, and she said in a disgusted tone, "What are you looking at, servant?"
The chief eunuch saw this scene and said, "Huh, you fool who thinks you are smart."
In fact, the eunuch could have found a more handsome guard last night, but because Concubine Wen had openly looked down on eunuchs before, he took a big grudge against her and specially found someone with an ugly appearance.
One day, he would let Lady Wen know that eunuchs were also human beings and could not be easily bullied.
The Meng family's search for Hu Zi and the other two returned. "Reporting to the leader, we still haven't found Hu Zi and the other two. We've searched all the places they usually go, but there's no one there."
The leader immediately realized that something was wrong. It was impossible for a person to disappear for no reason, unless he was caught, so he immediately went to find the head of the Meng family.
"Reporting to the head of the family, three people are missing. We've searched everywhere but haven't found them. I suspect they've been captured. Should we relocate the troops? Princess Mingman's birthday is coming soon, and we can't afford to let anything go wrong."
The head of the family said, "With so many people and weapons, it's impossible to move them at will. First, we need to increase the patrols around here. If there are any unusual movements, we need to make plans in advance."
"yes."
Jiang Tuantuan brought Li Jingchen to the alley as promised to find the boys. After a day's rest, the boys finally recovered and told the two of them what happened last night. They also emphasized that in order to explore the secret, they went deep into the Meng family and were almost caught.
After hearing this, Jiang Tuantuan immediately understood and took out a large piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to them. The boy was so excited after receiving the silver that he even took a bite.
"This is real, real silver."
Jiang Tuantuan said, "Thank you for your hard work. Keep watching. Remember, don't tell anyone about this. It's life-threatening, understand?"
