Chapter 322 Fresh
After Qingyue was taken away, Concubine Qi kept wandering back and forth in the yard in a restless manner, looking towards the southeast from time to time, staring for a long time, then retracting her gaze and continuing to wander around the yard.
The vast majority of people in her courtyard followed her from Da Qi, and a very small number were transferred to her by Su Qingqing at random at that time. These people were neither Su Qingqing's confidants nor Concubine Qi's confidants.
But since she followed Concubine Qi, she must have been someone who wanted to stand out in the world, but failed to do so, so she was confined to the entire palace just a few days after being named Concubine Qi.
"What is she looking at? Why is she looking towards the southeast?"
"Who knows, thinking about Qingyue, what can I see?"
"But wasn't Qingyue taken away by the Empress? The Empress's bedroom is not in the southeast direction. Isn't the southeast direction the bedroom of the Empress Dowager?"
"She can't count on the Queen Mother to save Qingyue or rescue her. The Queen Mother herself can't get out, let alone the Queen Mother. The Grand Empress Dowager can't get out either. At that time, there was an incident of faking the blood of the late emperor. Your Majesty is so kind that he can bear to keep them in the palace now."
"Your Majesty is merciful, but it's a pity~"
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that your Majesty doesn't have many concubines. With your majestic and elegant image, I would be willing to have your favor for just one night."
"Bah, you are so beautiful, and you still want to be favored by His Majesty? You are dreaming!"
"Why not? During the time of our late emperor, Concubine Rong climbed up step by step as a maid."
"I did climb up, but wasn't she thrown into the cold palace later? For little palace maids like us, with no family background and no hope, we should stop daydreaming. The higher we climb, the lower we fall. I am now looking forward to aging out of the palace. I have saved a lot of money over the years. After I leave the palace, I will not marry, I will comb my hair on my own, and then I will open a small shop."
"Nothing."
"You really want to climb up?"
"Of course. A maid who doesn't want to climb up the social ladder is not a good maid."
The two maids in charge of cleaning were chatting idly in the yard. Concubine Qi was also good at kung fu. As she walked back and forth, her words could be vaguely heard.
After retracting her gaze towards the southeast, Concubine Qi looked towards the two palace maids over there.
The palace maid who said she wanted to climb up the social ladder was indeed very pretty and not very old. She looked like she had just reached the age of marriage and was very young. Her voice was melodious, like the chirping of an oriole. She lowered her head, and her white neck was long and slender, curving in an elegant arc.
He and Su Qingqing are completely opposite types.
At first glance, this palace maid looks like the kind of enchanting slut who can make anyone go crazy.
With her eyes narrowed slightly, Concubine Qi called the maid beside her, "What's her name?"
The maid turned around and replied in a low voice, "The taller and thinner one is called Jiao Xing, and the fatter and shorter one is called Zi Su."
The taller and thinner one is the one who wants to climb up.
Jiao Xing...
It's a name that suits her image.
Concubine Qi retracted her gaze and said, "Please arrange another job for her. Don't do the cleaning anymore. Do something that won't be exhausting. She can take good care of her body."
After giving the order, Concubine Qi didn't even glance at Jiao Xing'er and looked towards the southeast.
There has been no news from that end.
It was getting dark. Qingyue had been gone for so long. What did Su Qingqing do to her?
Torture? Can Qingyue bear it? Did she confess?
If he confessed, shouldn't Su Qingqing bring people here to hold him accountable?
Why haven’t you come yet?
She asked Qingyue to go out at that time in order to break the current deadlock.
She must lift this house arrest no matter what. But why is there no news until now? Could it be that Qingyue did not understand her previous hint?
It shouldn't be.
Qingyue has been with her for so many years.
Concubine Qi was extremely anxious and restless until the moon rose above the treetops and the sky became completely dark. Finally, she received the news.
Southeast direction.
A flash of fire passed by.
Immediately afterwards, another beam of fire lit up.
The Ruchu light flashed on and off three times, and Concubine Qi stared in that direction without blinking.
The extinguished fire lit up again and swayed in the distance. She gently moved her fingers along with the swaying of the fire.
Broken Red Mansion.
After the flame flickered several times, it went out.
Concubine Qi's lowered fingers repeated the traces of the fire in her mind again and again.
Broken Red Mansion.
That’s right, it’s Shattered Red Mansion!
Oh my God!
Qingyue was sent to Shattered Red Tower?
How dare Su Qingqing! Qingyue was her first maid, with the same status as Jixiang. She was the princess of Daqi. How could Su Qingqing send Qingyue to that kind of place?
After the fire went out, Concubine Qi returned to the house from the courtyard with her fists clenched and her face pale.
Qingyue was sent away, and Su Qingqing still didn't come to her bedroom. So how could she break the current deadlock?
The people outside were also making preparations, but she couldn't wait.
The Hundred Flowers Festival is coming soon.
What should I do? What should I do...
Concubine Qi was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep. Finally, in the middle of the night, she figured out a solution.
The next morning.
Jixiang had just woken up when Minghe knocked on the door. He yawned, stood up and opened the door. He leaned against the door frame and held up his still swollen arm. "What's wrong?"
Minghe had a blank expression on his face , like a wooden man. "Early this morning, two maids in Concubine Qi's bedroom whispered three times under the wall. Each time, the content involved something similar. Concubine Qi is good at detoxification."
Jixiang's sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he looked at Minghe with wide eyes, "Is that really the case?"
Minghe looked back at Jixiang blankly with an expression that asked, "Do I have any reason to lie to you?"
Jixiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand . The queen and I will report this to you later."
After saying what he needed to say, Minghe turned and left. Jixiang suddenly remembered something and called him again, "Did the guy Xiaorui caught in the imperial kitchen yesterday confess?"
Minghe's expressionless face suddenly turned ugly, and he said very stiffly: "No!"
Jixiang looked at Minghe and asked, "Have you never encountered such a tough guy before?"
Minghe looked at Jixiang with a frown. Jixiang drew a circle on Minghe's face with his index finger. "Your expression is like you just ate a pile of fresh shit."
Minghe:……
She's a pretty girl, why does she speak so disgustingly?
Minghe glared at Jixiang with gritted teeth, then turned and left.
He walked so hard with each step that he almost made a hole in the floor.
He just got a portion of braised pork elbow from the imperial kitchen, but he hasn't eaten it yet. He doesn't know if it will have any impact when he eats it later.
ah!
Jixiang is so annoying!
Behind him, auspicious and cheerful laughter came.
