The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 143 Lu Chang's Memorial in Private

Coming out of Xianfu Palace, Lingfei saw the sky was still bright, so she ordered people to remove the sedan chair, and walked back to Yanxi Palace with Yaqin.

As soon as she arrived at Yanxi Palace, Concubine Ling accidentally glanced at the side hall, seeing that the door of the hall was closed, she asked: "It seems that Lu Chang is rarely seen these days?"

Yaqin replied: "Perhaps it's getting cold, and Lu Changzai is afraid of the cold, so he seldom goes out."

Concubine Ling said: "Go, follow me to see her."

Only Lu Changzai lived in the side hall of Yanxi Palace, so he walked all the way, but only a few eunuchs and maids were sweeping.Seeing that the side hall was vacant, Lingfei asked, "Where is Chang Lu?"

A little maid bowed her head and replied: "Go back to your mother, the young master said that today is a good day, let's go out for a stroll."

Yaqin asked suspiciously: "Going out for a stroll? The mistress' sedan chair is still parked at the door, where did she go for a stroll? Did she go alone?"

The little maid didn't quite understand, and said falteringly: "Yes... Yuerong accompanied me, probably... it's nearby."

After asking no results, Ling Fei said flatly to Yaqin: "Forget it, let's go."

The two master and servant walked around the side hall and were about to go back to the sleeping hall when Yaqin suddenly smelled a pungent smell and asked, "Ma'am, what kind of smell do you smell?"

Only then did Concubine Ling stop and looked around, suddenly seeing wisps of white smoke floating intermittently in the backyard, she said, "It seems to be coming from the backyard."

Yaqin helped her walk to the backyard, behind a wall at a corner, suddenly saw Lu Changzai and her maid of honor, Yue Rong, squatting furtively.

"What are you burning?" Yaqin stepped forward and asked.

Lu Changzai was taken aback, and turned around quickly, seeing that it was the concubine Ling coming, he hurriedly knelt down to salute: "Concubine, concubine Ling, please greet her."

Concubine Ling lowered her eyes to look at the unburned tinfoil ingots, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "Lu Changzai, you don't know that private sacrifices are forbidden in the palace, right?"

Lu Changzai kowtowed and said, "My lord, forgive me, my concubine..."

Concubine Ling didn't pursue her, but instead asked: "Who are you paying homage to?"

Lu Changzai dodged his eyes for a moment, and said vaguely: "It's... an old friend of my concubine..."

The imperial concubine said: "Forget it, get up, I will pretend that I didn't see it this time, and there will be no next time! You will clean up the burnt things here in a while, don't let anyone find out, but say that I am protecting myself." People in the palace."

Lu Changzai kowtowed his head gratefully, and said, "Yes, concubine, thank you, empress."

When Concubine Ling returned to her bedroom, she felt a little uncomfortable, and told Yaqin: "You secretly send someone to investigate, I want to know who Lu Changzai is paying homage to?"

Yaqin doubted: "Your Majesty, you suspect that Lu Changzai is not telling the truth."

The concubine Ling thought about it, and said: "I always feel that this is not an easy matter. Since entering the palace, Lu Changzai has been unknown and seems to have no intention of competing for favor. When I see her on weekdays, I rarely see a smile. There is something hidden here." What a weird thing. Especially today, the direction of her sacrifice is towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, whether it is a coincidence or not is still unknown."

Yaqin nodded secretly, and said: "Lu Changzai is the daughter of the magistrate of Huoshan, Anhui. If you want to find out thoroughly, you still need to start from the source. It will take some time."

Concubine Ling nodded slightly, the people in her own palace had better find out the details, otherwise if something happened, Yanxi Palace would follow in the footsteps of Xianfu Palace.
