Chapter 136
He may have noticed it long ago, but he waited until today to act, and the moment he made a move, he would get the stolen goods. In the evening, when she heard Jin Yiwei chatting, she also deliberately told her about it.
He is trying to make her move.
The skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say, Qin Xianger still holds his neck high, even if he fails, he will not lose his dignity: "Master Lu has no last resort, I am convinced. If you want to kill or slash next, please listen and respect."
The gates of Ciqing Palace have been guarded by Jin Yiwei. Lu Heng raised his hand, and Jin Yiwei who was behind immediately stepped forward and took the birdcage in Lu Heng's hand. Lu Heng straightened his sleeves and strode into the hall: "If you are smart, keep quiet. You'd better pray that the people inside are okay."
Lu Heng crossed the threshold and walked directly to Wang Yanqing's side. Qin Xianger knew it in her heart and said, "Don't worry, Master Lu, it's just some sleep aids, and it's not harmful to the body."
Lu Heng was suspicious by nature, so how could he believe the prisoner's words? He walked to Wang Yanqing's side, leaned over, and gently shook her shoulder: "Qingqing..."
He said something, and the voice stopped suddenly. He saw Wang Yanqing's eyelashes move quickly, and his eyes rolled under his lids, but he still closed his eyes.
Lu Heng stared at her for a few breaths and slowly straightened up.
Teachers may not be able to pass the exam, and those who know liars will be a complete mess when they tell lies.
But fortunately not stupid.
Lu Heng was too lazy to expose her tricks. He turned around, walked into the darkness with his hands behind his back, and when he passed Qin Xianger, he said lightly, "Tied up, wait for the interrogation."
Jin Yiwei, who was hidden in the dark, clasped his fists in a low voice: "Yes."
Wang Yanqing leaned back on the chair and pretended to sleep with difficulty. She heard a rustling sound at the door, and then there was a muffled crashing sound, and the night wind that was constantly drilling into the collar stopped. Wang Yanqing waited for a while, opened his eyes quietly, and found that the Empress Dowager Zhang's palace was quiet again, everything was as before, except that there was one person missing in the room.
It was her, it was her.
Wang Yanqing sighed silently. She asked Shang Shan Supervisor at noon and learned that there were no maids in Ciqing Palace who asked for cakes. In order to prevent fires in Miyagi, only a few places can cook, and open fires are prohibited in other places. The inner court can only eat from the unified large kitchen.
Supervisor Shang Shan has no relevant records, and the line of pastry was temporarily interrupted. But today, when Qin Xianger poured tea for her, Wang Yanqing suddenly realized that there was no record of the palace maid's food, what about the queen mother's?
Empress Dowager Zhang brings fresh pastries to every meal. Empress Dowager Zhang naturally can't finish so many things. Who will distribute the remaining pastries?
All the clues were connected in an instant, and the truth was almost revealed. Wang Yanqing wanted to see what Qin Xianger was going to do, so she kept silent, pretended to drink water, and spit it out after Qin Xianger turned around. Afterwards, Wang Yanqing pretended to be lethargic, but in fact leaned back in the chair and observed Qin Xianger secretly.
Qin Xianger also fell asleep beside the queen mother's couch, but Wang Yanqing heard a bird chirping from the inner room, like a whistle to greet birds. Wang Yanqing really wanted to know how Qin Xianger was acting like a ghost, so she didn't say anything and waited with bated breath. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement outside, Qin Xianger finally couldn't hold back and got up to check the situation.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Heng outside.
When Wang Yanqing heard Lu Heng's voice, she had been hesitating about how to wake up to be more natural. She hadn't found the right time, and suddenly heard Lu Heng say to Qin Xianger, if you are smart, keep quiet.
Wang Yanqing understood in an instant why Lu Heng waited until now to act.
Looking at Lu Heng's performance, he had already guessed it this morning, but he waited until late at night to arrest Qin Xiang'er silently. This shows that Lu Heng, or the emperor, wants to keep this matter private.
Wang Yanqing didn't know what Lu Heng and the emperor were thinking about. She only knew that she couldn't wake up, and she mustn't be involved in the turmoil that followed. The haunting of the East Palace is a trivial matter, but what Lu Heng will do next is definitely a major event. She is the safest if she doesn't know anything.
When Lu Heng stood in front of her, Wang Yanqing was so nervous that he couldn't breathe anymore. She thought he should have seen it, but he didn't reveal it, indicating that he was willing to turn a blind eye.
Only then did Wang Yanqing finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Yanqing looked at Empress Dowager Zhang, who slept in the inner room and knew nothing, and the little palace maid who was lying on the ground. She wondered how they knew, while they were dreaming, a new storm started again. When it is dawn tomorrow, the guillotine will fall.
Wang Yanqing silently said a good dream to Empress Dowager Zhang.
If nothing else, this should be her last night of sleep.
Chapter 47
Yesterday, Xiu Jin stayed at midnight in the Queen Mother's palace, and today it is time for her to be on duty in the middle of the night. Xiu Jin was thinking about changing shifts and fell asleep early, but strangely, she slept very deeply at night, and she didn't realize that she had slept before, and it was five watch outside until she was woken up by a chill.
Xiu Jin secretly said that it was bad, and hurriedly jumped up from the bed. While she was randomly putting on clothes, she wondered in her heart that she overslept and delayed her shift, why was no one reminded her?
Xiu Jin didn't even have time to put on the jacket inside, so she hurriedly straightened the front of her shirt and ran out. However, when she opened the door, she found that the Ciqing Palace was quiet. At this hour in the past, someone should have gotten up and cleaned it.
what happened?
Xiu Jin was terrified, not knowing whether she was dreaming or hitting a ghost. Xiu Jin didn't dare to go out, she stopped at the door and hesitated, only then did she notice that the maid in the same room was also asleep.
