Chapter 311 Old Acquaintance (3)
Although Concubine Luo was stunned by the news, she was a person who had lived in the court for many years, and she still had the most basic city mansion. Now, she had to calm herself down and ordered the little eunuch not to talk nonsense in front of others. So she went to the side hall to wait for the emperor, and when the emperor sent the Jin Yiwei people over to look at her later, she didn't show any clues.

It was better to go back to her Chonghua Palace in the evening and send away all the other attendants, leaving only Citron by her side. Concubine Luo Guifei couldn't help crying and told Citron about the matter, asking What is Citron going to do with himself?He was also worried that Ling Mengqi didn't know how his injury was, whether someone would take care of him, and worried that something would happen to him.

Seeing her crying sadly, Citron remembered how she had missed and cared for Ling Mengqi for more than a year, and her eyes turned red. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't say anything to make her pretend that she didn't know about it, so she had to suggest: " Why don't you let Xiao Lizi find an excuse to go out of the palace, go to Jinyi Guard and Duke Dingguo's mansion to see how my brother was injured, and how is he doing now?"

Although Xiao Lizi was only working at the gate of the palace, which was not a decent job, but he was the godson Citron recognized a few years ago, but few people in the palace knew about it. Nothing happened, he was bullied in different ways by the eunuchs who entered the palace earlier than him, and once he was pushed into the water in the cold weather, or Citron happened to pass by and ordered someone to rescue him. Fortunately, a life was recovered.

From then on, Xiao Lizi held the gift of nephew and nephew in front of Citron, and regarded Citron as filial as his own biological mother. Citron, as the most proud person in front of Concubine Luo, naturally had everything, and the rare thing was Xiao Lizi He secretly observed Xiao Lizi for two years, and saw that he was indeed of excellent conduct, so he simply returned to Concubine Luo, adopted him as a godson, and then arranged him to work as a servant at the palace gate, one for leisure, and the other for The most important thing is that when the people of Chonghua Palace want to enter and exit the palace gate or have something to send out of the palace, it is more convenient to have someone on their own. I did not expect that Xiao Lizi would be of great use after Ling Mengqi entered Beijing.

After listening to Citron's suggestion, Concubine Luo quickly wiped away the tears from her face, and ordered her to make arrangements as soon as possible. Citron's son, she is naturally trustworthy. The Duke of Dingguo is looking for Ling Mengqi.

Xiao Lizi is indeed a clever one, knowing that even if he changed into casual clothes, people with a little knowledge can see his origin, so he simply did the opposite, went to get a set of women's clothes to put on, and then went to Jinyi Weiwei So, claiming to be Ling Mengqi's distant cousin, came to see him specially.

Unexpectedly, Ling Mengqi was not in the Jinyi Guardhouse. He asked the people in the guardhouse where he had gone, but no one knew, so he had to go to the Dingguo Mansion again. Unexpectedly, the people in the Dingguo Mansion also said that he was not there. In the Duke's mansion, the only thing that can be confirmed is that he was indeed injured, and the injury was not serious. According to the original words of the person who inquired about the news from Jinyiwei, "The kind of military continuous crossbow that can kill people within a hundred feet." Shooting straight through, even if Ling Qianhu was lucky enough to save his life, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die, how could it be better? '

Seeing that the two Ling Mengqi couldn't find him where he was most likely to be, Xiao Lizi had no choice but to go back to the palace to return to Concubine Luo and ask for advice on what to do next.

As soon as Concubine Luo heard the words of Jin Yiwei, she cried so much that she was about to faint. She couldn't come up with any ideas, but Citron didn't look like her, so she tried to persuade her, and suggested that it's better to let Xiao Lizi the next day Quietly look for Lu Mingxuan, maybe they can find out some news?

Citron knew that she must not let anyone other than the three of her, especially the emperor, know about such a thing, so she kept an eye out and didn't dare to suggest that Concubine Luo should ask someone to ask the old man or Mrs. Lu directly. Let people go, let the old man and Mrs. Lu know, doesn't it mean that the emperor also knows?On the other hand, Lu Mingxuan, since she is Ling Mengqi's sweetheart, has absolutely no chance of getting in touch with the emperor, and the little girl's family is more likely to soften her heart, as long as she asks Xiao Lizi to beg her hard, if she knows it, she will definitely tell her, even if she doesn't know it. You will definitely promise to keep it secret, isn't it safe?
That's why Xiao Lizi came to Lu Mingxuan's house today.

Lu Mingxuan heard Xiao Lizi say that Concubine Luo Gui accidentally heard the news of Ling Mengqi's injury in the Qianyuan Palace, and he was the same yesterday as today, he went to inquire about Ling Mengqi's news in disguise, Fang was slightly relieved, and wanted to Telling Xiao Lizi that he didn't know about Ling Mengqi's news, he sent him away directly, so as not to cause trouble with Ling Mengqi, and it would make him unhappy for nothing.

But after thinking about it, if Luo Guifei sees that she can't get any news from her, but she still doesn't give up, and she instructs Xiao Li to inquire everywhere, if it falls into the eyes of someone with a heart, wouldn't it be a side issue? It's better not to tell Luo Guifei Ling Could the consequences of Meng Qi's news be even worse?
I had no choice but to think about it and said: "To be honest with Eunuch Li, I do know some news about Young Master Ling..."

The conversation had just begun, but was interrupted by Xiao Lizi's face full of surprise: "Miss Lu just needs to be called the servant Xiao Lizi, and I can't be called 'father-in-law' by the girl. Does Miss Lu really know the news about Mr. Ling? I wonder if the girl can tell me? No matter where the servant Ling is, you can go to visit wherever you are, so that our lady can rest assured."

Lu Mingxuan said: "Please forgive me for not being able to tell Eunuch Ling's whereabouts. At most, I can only tell Eunuch that Mr. Ling is fine now, and the injuries on his body are fine. He just needs to stay in bed and recuperate. Don't worry, lady." I wanted to ask Xiao Lizi to tell Concubine Luo that she should not disturb Ling Mengqi's life in the future, so as not to make each other feel sad, but thinking about his lack of that position, he held back and said nothing.

It was so hard to find out about Ling Mengqi's whereabouts. How could Xiao Lizi leave so easily, and pleaded with Lu Mingxuan: "If the slave doesn't see that Mr. Ling is safe, it's really hard to go back and ask our wife. The lady is not at ease, please be merciful to Miss Lu, and tell the slave, the slave will never forget your great kindness until death, and repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life."

Seeing that Lu Mingxuan was unmoved, she simply knelt down and kowtowed like garlic. It was Lu Mingxuan who turned cold and said that if he didn't leave, someone would take him to the Duke's mansion to meet the old Duke. Yuan's exhortation, "Be sure not to disturb everyone in the Dingguo Mansion except that Miss Lu", Fang dared not say anything more, kowtowed to Lu Mingxuan obediently, and left.

For the rest, Lu Mingxuan waited until the mother-in-law who saw off the guests came back and said that after she had seen Xiao Lizi go far away with her own eyes, she originally wanted to have someone prepare a car to go to Ling Mengqi's place immediately. Li Zi didn't give up, and stayed in the dark to observe whether she would go out, and as soon as she went out, would he quietly follow her?

It would be better to go there early tomorrow morning. Xiao Lizi is from the palace, and the rules in the palace have always been strict. Even if he belongs to Concubine Luo, it would be a big trouble if he didn't go back to the palace to find out at night, so he will leave at a certain time. He must go back, and even if he came out early tomorrow morning, he would still have to wait for the palace gate to open, as long as he got out before the door, even if he came, it would be fine.
