"Qingqing, go and call the two inner guards in. I must find evidence that that person came in!"
When Qingqing brought the two inner guards, Zi Yan said: "Search for the room for me, and it is best to search for the beam. Someone has entered my room!"
The two inner guards glanced at each other with embarrassment in their eyes. Even if someone really came in, even if countless candles were lit in the room, the vision at night is much worse than during the day, and finding the trace is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Despite the embarrassment, in front of Ziyan, the two couldn't express their opinions, so they had to agree. After re-searching everything on the ground, the two moved the ladder again, climbed onto the beam with the torch, and pointed the beam at the torch.
"Ah, noble concubine, there are shoe prints here!"
Zi Yan snorted proudly, put her hands on her waist, and showed a superior attitude to Qing Qing: "What do I say!" At the same time, she was surprised, "Look, what kind of shoe prints are it?"
"Yes, Concubine!"
The inner guard looked at the shoe prints, they were small, like a crescent moon, exquisite and cute: "Return to the imperial concubine, look at the shoes, they should be women's shoes, medium size, a pair of rubber boots for walking on snow."
"Gum boots?" Zi Yan pondered, "In the palace, people generally don't wear rubber shoes, and only those who go out on business wear rubber shoes to prevent them from slipping. Medium size feet are for women, and they are worn in the palace. Not a lot, and based on these few pieces of information alone, it is difficult to judge who is coming. But the beam of the house is three feet away from the ground, and if he can climb to such a high place, this person must be a woman with light kung fu, and he is not bad at all."
"After Qingqing entered the room, she still acted so calmly, which shows that she is not an ordinary person. Looking at the entire palace, she is the only one who meets the requirements..." Ziyan looked over the carved window paper, as if she had already seen the person's face. Appearance, printed on the window paper.
Qingqing: "The imperial concubine knows who it is?"
Zi Yan curled her lips: "You think I can't figure it out? Hmph, you're underestimating me! When it comes to Gong Dou, you're far worse than me!"
Qingqing and the others only listened to Ziyan's murmur, and they couldn't tell who she was referring to from her words.
"You all go out, make a false alarm!"
Qingqing was even more puzzled: just now she was clearly approaching as if an enemy, but now she said it was a false alarm, what kind of tricks is Zi Yan playing
"Concubine, why don't you let the two inner guards wait at the gate of the courtyard tonight, if that person comes again, it will be easy to take care of him."
But Yan Li had a decree not to allow the Jiao Palace to have guards. In fact, Zi Yan didn't need a guard.
"She won't come again, and even if she comes again, she won't do anything to me."
Ziyan expected that Xueer came here just to see what secrets were in her room. However, in her room, apart from the soft sword on the scroll, there are no secrets at all. Isn't Xue'er trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket! Xue'er must not have seen the soft sword on the scroll, otherwise she would have taken the soft sword away.
After thinking about these things, Ziyan felt at ease, and dared to let Qingqing and others go out.
"Tomorrow, I'd like to go and see, what will she look like when she meets me?"
The morning sun once again shone on the palace of the harem, accompanied by the cold bells, a large flock of white pigeons flew over the resplendent glazed tile roof.
Yuchen in the harem is so beautiful, elegant in her elegance, lively in her solemnity. If there were no open and secret fights, if there were no cruel distinctions between superiors and inferiors, this would be a fairy-like life.
"Alas!" Qingqing sighed, and carrying a pot of hot water, she came to the courtyard of the Pepper Palace.
Compared with other palaces, the Pepper Palace is also dark and cold, which is why Yan Li gave up this palace to Ziyan to live in. This is in line with Ziyan's cold temperament.
"Concubine, are you up?" Qingqing stood on the steps and knocked on the door, and couldn't help yawning herself. Her little face was red from the cold, as if she had applied rouge and gouache.
After a while, a faint voice came from the room: "Come in!"
Qingqing opened the door, put the hot water on the pear tree shelf, rolled up the beaded curtain, turned around the lady's screen, and lifted Zi Yan on the bed. Suddenly, a fright flashed across Qingqing's eyes.
Zi Yan lowered her face: "It's so early in the morning, what's wrong with you?"
Qingqing pointed to Ziyan's lips and chin: "Concubine, your..."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You have a scar on your chin and a boil on your lower lip!"
For a beautiful woman, this is a big deal.
"Really?" Zi Yan quickly covered her lips.
Qingqing nodded: "The imperial concubine will know when she looks in the mirror."
Zi Yan jumped up and came to the makeup mirror stand, inside the bare phoenix bronze mirror, Zi Yan's handsome face was reflected, but this face had some flaws.
"Oh my god, how could this happen!"
Sure enough, Zi Yan saw a scar on her chin, and a small boil on her lips! How can you meet people like this!
At this time, she just remembered that she went to Chu Lin's house to interrogate Huangfu Zan last night, and fell on the Hu ladder. She licked her teeth with her tongue and found that she was missing a molar.
"Fortunately, it's just teeth grinding. If it's the front teeth, what's the difference between me and an old woman!"
Zi Yan was crying. Although knocking off the molars is a blessing in misfortune, but without the molars, how can I eat things with bones in the future!
"Unlucky!" Zi Yan threw the dressing box on the bronze mirror, and with a bang, Qingqing was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.
"Concubine, forgive me, forgive me!"
Zi Yan gasped: "It's not that you punched me on the chin, why are you pardoning me! Come on, help me make up, and then ask Imperial Physician Li to come over and help me take a look."
"yes!"
Qingqing washed Ziyan, dressed her hair, and decorated her hair like a lantern on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After serving Ziyan for breakfast, Qingqing went to ask Li Taiyi. However, Tai Physician Li was not in the palace when he went out to make purchases, and Jin Renxin went to serve Xue'er in the palace again.
Qingqing came back and reported to Ziyan, but Ziyan didn't hit a single place: "Hmph, is it Xue'er's seniority in the palace, or my seniority! Why should Jin Renxin go to see her instead of me! You go to the back mountain Xinggong, tell Jin Renxin to let him come to my palace immediately."
Qingqing was in a dilemma: "This..." Everything comes first, first served, Xueer invited Jin Renxin first, and Jin Renxin naturally went to her palace first, what's so annoying about it.
Zi Yan's eyebrows were erected, her almond eyes were wide open, her handsome face turned hideous, distorted and ugly: "Why, even you don't listen to me anymore, do you?"
Qingqing panicked: "No, no! I was born as a noble concubine, and died as a noble concubine's ghost."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
"yes!"
Qingqing had no choice but to take two maids, go out of Jingyang Gate, and go to the palace to call Jin Renxin.
Rong Changan refused to let Jin Renxin see Zi Yan, and sneered, "Tell her that her qualifications are older than mine, but she is stupid and has mental problems. She has been in the palace for so long, and she doesn't know who comes first, first come first, what a fool." Alive!"
Qingqing was in a dilemma again: "Could it be that the servant also wants to bring your words to Concubine Ziyan?"
Rong Changan said: "That's right, pass it on to her without leaving a word, I think she can jump into the sky!"
Jin Renxin was afraid of the battle between the two palaces, so he persuaded him from the side: "Why don't I go to see Concubine Ziyan first, and come back later, how about it?"
"Why!" Rong Changan said loudly, "I called you first! Besides, aren't you tired from running around? Humph, Imperial Physician Jin, don't worry, she can't do anything to me! Qingqing, go and send a message !"
Qingqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and work tirelessly to return to Jiao Palace and pass on Rong Changan's words to Ziyan verbatim. If Ziyan doesn't listen to it, it's fine. When he listens, the seven orifices produce smoke.
"She, Xueer, has gone to heaven instead!"
Leng Sleeve flicked violently, holding a ruler in his hand, he came to the Houshan Palace to look for Rong Changan angrily. Along the way, cursing:
"If I see that bitch, I'll have to slap her face like a pig's head!"
