Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 328 Xi'er Missing
There was only a muffled bang, which stood out in the quiet of the night.

Xi'er immediately covered her mouth, she didn't dare to reach out to pick up the stick, she could only squat down on the ground as lightly as possible, leaning her back against the door.She heard the footsteps outside stop, and her heart jumped up, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

"Who's in there!" the little eunuch outside cautiously approached the door of the small house and asked carefully.

"..." Xi'er didn't dare to answer. She stared around and looked around. She was daring, and waited until she heard the little eunuch outside asking again. She reached out and pushed the small hand stove on the bed to the ground. There was a bang, and the people outside were completely stunned.

Xi'er carefully touched the bed, pretending to be woken up, humming, she pretended to rub her eyes: "Huh? Who put the washbasin here?"

"Who's inside?" the little eunuch outside asked again.

Xi'er paused, then stood up, put on her clothes, stood up and walked to the door, and said sleepily, "What happened?"

"Watching the night, I saw a thief just now. I chased here and found that he was gone. Come and see if you have covered me." The little eunuch outside cleared his throat and said as rough as possible.

"Brother guard? No, it sounds like a little eunuch watching the night." Saying this, Xi'er thought it might be bad. She saw the hand stove on the ground overturned to reveal a pile of dry charcoal through the moonlight. He scratched on the ash, then touched it, and grabbed a handful of ashes in his hand.

She stood up and took a few steps towards the door: "Who the hell is it? It's midnight, and no one comes in here. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to open the door for you, right?"

"I'm Xiao Xiazi who trims the garden over the covered bridge. I'm getting up at night. I saw a sneaky person next to the hut about to run to the queen's bedroom. I yelled, and the thief ran away. The guards are arresting people elsewhere, and I saw a figure when I was about to go back, so I came here to ask."

Xiao Xiazi was a little anxious, he didn't know who was inside, and he didn't know if she heard things that she shouldn't have heard.

In fact, he doesn't want to kill anyone here, after all, this is Concubine Qin's Yikun Palace. Although Concubine Qin is grounded, she is a concubine after all, surrounded by the emperor's guards all the time. If there is anything wrong, she only needs to go out and let her know. , the emperor will definitely come.

Originally, he wanted to earn two small coins and find a partner. Although the emperor did not allow this kind of thing, everyone in the world was doing it, and all the rich people were found. He didn't want to do anything else, so he and Xi Wen It's okay, there is no hope for children in this life, so I just want to find someone to accompany me.

But if people find out about this matter, let alone the right food, it is a question of whether he can still have a chance to eat delicious hot food.

Thinking of this, he became more cautious, and when he heard that there was no movement from the people inside, he urged: "Sister inside, open the door, this is Yikun Palace, there are thieves!"

Xi'er bit her lip, seeing that she couldn't hide it, she could only pretend to just wake up, and replied: "What's the rush, it's not yet three o'clock, I don't feel comfortable sleeping, wait a while Ah, let me change my clothes."

As she spoke, she made some noise, changed her clothes, and put on a cloak. After thinking for a while, she threw a fan on the ashes, and then slowly went to open the door.

There was only one person outside, and it was impossible to see who it was.

Xi'er frowned, holding the ashes tightly in her hands, but she could only pretend to be puzzled: "Hey, this black light is blind, what kind of thief are you chasing, can you see it?"

"It turns out that sister Xi'er is here. Hey, I don't want to, but I'm not in a hurry." Xiao Xiazi said, stretched his head to look inside, and found that there was no one else, and the room was not big, so he Said: "Hey, sister Xi'er, why are you not in a hurry, this is the empress's business."

"What's wrong with your mother? I tried to find a way for my mother with good intentions, but she scolded me after I said that. Only then did I know that we slaves can still expect our master to take us seriously. "

While talking, Xi'er snorted coldly.Seeing Xiao Xiazi outside also showed a clear expression, she was a little relieved, after all, if she wasn't Concubine Qin's person, she wouldn't need to care about this matter, and he wouldn't worry about it either.

Sure enough, Xiao Xiazi relaxed his stiff body, but he hadn't left yet, so he pretended to look inside, Xi'er pretended to be careless and stepped aside, she said with a smile: "Xiao Xiazi has never seen you like this before." I feel sorry for Concubine Qin, how could this be so good."

"Hey, aren't we here to help others?" Xiao Xiazi laughed and wanted to go inside.

Xi'er didn't dare to stop him, she knew that Xiao Xiazi should have no doubts about her, so she wasn't too vigilant, who knew that Xiao Xiazi walked in and looked around, and suddenly took out something, and tightly covered Xi'er's mouth , Xi'er only felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Chen Wen woke up, he always felt that his health was not very good, and he was very flustered.

"Bailu, Yingge?" Chen Wenxin called out, but no one responded outside. She became more and more uneasy, so she braced herself, stood up, put on her clothes, and walked outside.

There was also silence outside, and she saw that half of the dishes were placed on the table, and the porridge was still in the small casserole, which seemed to be removed suddenly.

She touched the plate, it was a little warm.She knew that the man hadn't left for too long, and she should still be in the palace. After thinking about it, she put on her clothes and wanted to go out to have a look. Then she took a step, and was suddenly pushed back.

After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Dongcui, the palace maid who shared the same room with Yingge.

"Your Majesty, why do you go out dressed like this? It's cold outside, and there are guards outside." There are only two guards in Yikun Palace, and the rest are guarding outside, but those two are at the palace gate. , facing the main hall, you can also see the Nuan Pavilion.

After seeing someone coming, Chen Wenxin was relieved, and she quickly asked: "What about the rest, why didn't you see them?"

"Sister Yingge is going to help you get your clothes. Isn't it cold? Wei Chang asked someone to send you a set of winter clothes." Dongcui said, and helped Chen Wenxin back to the Nuan Pavilion to rest. She brought porridge Go in and serve Chen Wenxin to eat.

Chen Wenxin felt that she couldn't eat any more after taking a bite. Although she didn't pay attention, she still saw some leeches that she vomited out, and she remembered them as soon as she ate them. come here."

"Yes." Dongcui knew that Chen Wenxin should eat more salty food, so he brought some salted dried fruit, "My lady, this is salted, it's better than duck eggs that taste like a mouthful."

Chen Wenxin doesn't really like salted duck eggs, she likes to eat egg yolks, but if she eats too much of them, she will get bored. Seeing these salted dried fruits, she feels better. After a while of rolling and vomiting a few more times, it was all right.

After eating a small bowl of porridge, Bai Lu walked in holding a few heavy winter clothes and fur scarves.

Seeing that Chen Wenxin got up, she was a little surprised, as if there was something wrong, but she didn't say anything, she just stood aside and waited for Chen Wenxin to finish eating, then she helped Dongcui put away the bowl, and then brought the clothes to Chen Wenxin's side.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Seeing her worried look, Chen Wenxin knew that she must have something embarrassing, and wanted to tell her, but just waited, and heard Bai Lu speak, so Chen Wenxin said: "If you want to say anything, just say it." Bar."

"Your Majesty, actually... Hey, let's talk about this first, this is something Wei Changzai sent, please take a look." Said Bai Lu opened the clothes, only to see a letter inside.

"This is..." Chen Wenxin looked at Bai Lu, stretched out her hand to pick up the envelope, without signing or looking up, she opened it strangely, only to see a thick stack of letters inside.

"Wei Chang came here this morning to deliver the clothes in person, and he pointed out that he could only be picked up by his servants. The servants saw that Wei Changzai's face was very bad, and Wei Changzai even told the servants that we can't deliver any messages for the time being. People have heard it, even the emperor, if he didn't ask him personally, maybe..."

When Bai Lu thought of what Wei Chang was saying, she felt chills in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it too directly. Chen Wenxin's mood should not fluctuate too much now. The world has been turned upside down in the past few days. She thought about it, Said: "Your Majesty, let's read this letter."

Chen Wenxin knew that this must not be an easy task, she nodded, took out a thick stack of letter paper, and spread it out to see.

There are three things written in it. The first is that the two sisters, Tong Guifei and Tong Guiren, have become active again. The thing is that the court is not stable, her brother Chen Wenyi was appointed as the general to fight against the barbarians, and went to southern Xinjiang.

The last thing is, Zeng Changzai, no, now it should be said to be Mrs. Zeng, or Zeng Changzai's quasi-concubine Zeng.

After Chen Wenxin was grounded, Zeng Changzai was greatly favored, and he was made a nobleman just three days ago, but the canonization ceremony has not yet been performed.It's just that once you become a nobleman, you will no longer be the Zeng Changzai you used to be.

She is very courageous, taking advantage of the emperor's busy affairs in the past few days, she dared to instigate orders to the nobles in the palace and the concubines below, and even said in front of everyone that the concubine Qin is a thing of the past, and now she wants another Set up a portal.

"This Zeng Chang is too much! When she first entered the palace, who followed the empress like a pug, and she was sent in by the empress and sister-in-law!" Bai Lu only felt chilled, it was only a few days, Zeng Chang I forgot my last name now.

Chen Wenxin didn't care, she had already seen that person's temperament, but she didn't expect her to be so stupid.

"Let's put this matter aside. There are many things that need to be discussed in detail. By the way, you said the first one, so what else do you have?"

Hearing this, Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, Xi'er is missing."
