Chapter 137
There were four of them in the house, two in the first half of the night and two in the second half of the night. She and her companions didn't replace her, and the night watchman didn't come back. She was busy going out just now, but she didn't find anyone in the house.
Xiu Jin didn't dare to go by herself, so she stepped forward and shook her companion awake. The maid in the same room was shocked and scared when she found out that she had slept. Xiu Jin told his companions about the situation, and the two walked to the main hall together.
The doors and windows of the main hall were closed, and no movement could be seen inside. Xiu Jin and her companions dared to knock on the door. They held their breath and waited for a while, but there was no response inside. The two of them were startled and quickly pushed open the door, only to find that everyone was sleeping on the ground, staggering and motionless.
Xiu Jin clenched her companion's hand tightly, and shivered to test her breath. Fortunately, they were still breathing. Xiuzhen and the maid in the same room went inside to see Empress Dowager Zhang again, and Empress Dowager Zhang also slept peacefully on the bed. Xiuzhen did not dare to try Empress Dowager Zhang's breath, and could only guess from her face that Empress Dowager Zhang should be fine.
Xiu Jin was confused by this development, everyone fell asleep, no traces were found in the palace, and nothing was lost. Could it be that the palace maid and the empress dowager just slept past time and forgot to change shifts? It is understandable that one person has slept, but with so many people staying together, can it be that everyone can slept?
Besides, the palace maid forgot the time, and Aunt Qin.
At this time, Xiu Jin suddenly realized that not everyone was there. Aunt Qin and Miss Wang are gone.
At this moment, Wang Yanqing was already waiting in front of the palace gate. As soon as it was time to unlock the lock, she followed the leading eunuch out of Donghua Gate, boarded the carriage, and drove outside the palace.
Wang Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief after entering the carriage of Lu Mansion. Yesterday, Wang Yanqing had no traditional Chinese medicine, but after Qin Xianger was taken away, Wang Yanqing did not dare to sleep any more, so he had to endure for a long time. Lu Heng probably guessed that she couldn't sleep. It was dawn this morning, and a eunuch knocked on the door quietly, saying that they were ordered by Lu Heng to take Wang Yanqing out of the palace.
The eunuch carried a note. After Wang Yanqing checked it, he recognized that it was indeed Lu Heng's handwriting, so he followed the eunuch. The eunuch knew the road to and from, and even calculated which road was the least crowded and how much time it would take. After Wang Yanqing walked to Donghua Gate, he almost didn't wait long when he heard the drumming of the opening of the palace gate.
Wang Yanqing leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes tiredly. The sound of the drums gradually ceased outside, and after a short interval, a second wave of vigorous drum beats sounded on the city tower.
Today is the ninth day of the first day. After three waves of drums, the Meridian Gate was opened, and the official and military flags were placed inside. Fu Tingzhou stood in the ranks of Xunqi. He looked back quietly and found that Lu Heng came a lot later than usual, and just came over.
With Lu Heng's prudence, it was impossible to make such a mistake. Fu Tingzhou frowned secretly, wondering what Lu Heng was doing.
Fu Tingzhou was fascinated by his thoughts, but he didn't know that while he was speculating about Lu Heng, a carriage pulled out from Donghuamen and Gululu walked towards Dong'anmen. The mighty Meridian Gate City Tower rang the bell, and Fu Tingzhou quickly regained his mind and followed everyone to the palace. At this time, Wang Yanqing's carriage also passed through Dong'anmen safely and merged into the city streets.
The sun rises in the east, the sky will be bright, but the two of them run in opposite directions.
Wang Yanqing leaned on the carriage, and wanted to close his eyes to rest, but fell asleep when he was not careful. When the carriage stopped, the carriage rushed forward, and Wang Yanqing woke up instantly. She rubbed her brows with a headache, tapped twice on the wall of the carriage, and a familiar female voice sounded outside: "Girl, we're at the house. Are you still awake?"
It's Lingxi, and it's finally back. Wang Yanqing blinked her eyes hard, endured the sourness, got up and walked under the car: "I'm fine."
Wang Yanqing spent two days and two nights in the palace, and it didn't feel long in the palace. After coming out, seeing the furnishings of the Lu Mansion seemed like a lifetime away. No matter how comfortable it was, even the weeds on the roadside looked cute. Wang Yanqing returned to his courtyard, and as soon as he entered the house, he said, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
Lingxi Lingluan received news last night that Wang Yanqing was coming back this morning, and refreshments and hot water were already prepared in the room. Lingluan was slightly blessed and went inside to check the soup pool. Lingxi waited on Wang Yanqing to take off her big clothes and asked, "Girl, you haven't had a good rest for a few days. The kitchen has brought some cakes. Do you want to put some on it first?"
Wang Yanqing shook his head: "I don't have an appetite right now. I'll talk about it after I take a shower."
Wang Yanqing took a hot bath and felt alive. She changed into new clothes, and her wet long hair fell naturally. Lingxi had already set up breakfast outside. Seeing Wang Yanqing coming out, he saluted and asked, "Miss, the commander will let you eat something before going to sleep. Look..."
Wang Yanqing knew that Lu Heng said something in the house, everyone was afraid of him, she didn't intend to embarrass the maid, and besides, taking a bath took a lot of energy, and when she came out and smelled the aroma of warm food, she was also a little hungry. Don't be shy in your own home, Wang Yanqing sat down and finally let go of his voice and said, "I'll just come by myself, you guys can go down and rest."
She left the palace at Yin Shi, and as soon as she came back, she had hot water and hot meals. When did these maids and cooks start preparing? It's not easy for everyone, and if you can understand, you can understand.
Lingxi Lingluan answered yes, but did not leave, and waited until Wang Yanqing finished eating, wiped his hair, and then served Wang Yanqing lightly to rest on the bed. Wang Yanqing loosened her hair and lay in the warm quilt, finally understanding what it feels like to be at home.
