When Hua Manman walked near the palace gate, he found that it was completely silent.
Except for two guards standing by the door, no one else could be seen.
She lowered her head and walked over calmly.
When he got to the door, he was stopped by two guards.
One of them asked, "Which palace are you from? What are you doing here?"
Hua Manman handed over her waist badge.
"The sage just passed away. There is not enough materials for the funeral in the palace. The servants are ordered to go out of the palace to buy."
The guard took the badge and looked at her suspiciously.
"Isn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs always in charge of purchasing? Why did you send a little maid out? I don't think I've seen you before. Please raise your head and let us have a look."
Hua Manman slowly raised his head.
At the same time, she violently raised a handful of dust!
Sand and dust rushed towards the guards, and the two were caught off guard and lost their eyes. They lost their positions and shouted in a hurry.
"There are assassins!"
Hua Manman took advantage of the chaos and ran out.
However, at the next moment, two guards from the palace jumped down from the palace wall and landed in front of Hua Manman, blocking her way.
Hua Manman retreated immediately, but found that the escape route behind her was blocked by several Habayashi guards at some point.
She was attacked back and forth, and she had no way to escape.
The commander of Habayashi guards sternly reprimanded.
"Don't make unnecessary resistance, and just grab it obediently!"
Hua Manman pursed her lips and remained silent, her face extremely ugly: "I belong to Concubine Zhen, if you dare to touch me, Concubine Zhen will not let you go!"
Commander Habayashi was skeptical of her words.
"If you really belong to Concubine Zhen, why would you appear here alone?"
Hua Manman looked around and saw a middle-aged man walking out of the crowd.
He was wearing a navy blue gown, with a three-inch beard and a lun scarf, looking very refined and refined.
Commander Habayashi guard said to him immediately.
"Mr. Zhu, the man has been caught, what should we do next?"
Mr. Zhu: "Put the person in the Punishment Department first, and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with it."
"Here."
The Habayashi guards rushed forward and tied Huamanman tightly
Hua Manman struggled desperately, blushing with anger: "I am really from Concubine Zhen, if you don't believe me, you can ask Concubine Zhen!"
Mr. Zhu took out a handkerchief, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into Hua Manman's mouth, completely blocking her voice.
He casually reminded.
"Now that the saint has just passed away, the nobles above are in a bad mood. You should be more careful, and don't let her disturb the nobles."
The Habayashi guards took orders to leave.
The Punishment Department is the place where the palace people are punished for their mistakes.
Hua Manman had only heard of this place before, but had never been here, and today was her first time.
The prison cell of the Punishment Department does not see sunlight all the year round, it looks very dark and damp, and there is a musty smell of decay in the air. It can be said that the sanitary conditions are very worrying.
On both sides of the narrow corridor are cells, where many prisoners are held.
Because of Mr. Zhu's instructions, Habayashi specially arranged a private room for Hua Manman.
As soon as the cell door was locked, the Habayashi guards left.
The panic and anger on Hua Manman's face quickly faded away.
She sat on the ground next to the wall, thinking silently in her heart.
At the gate of the palace just now, everyone's attention was focused on her, and they didn't notice that a three-colored cat jumped out quickly.
Calculating the time, the system should be on its way to the Prince Regent's Mansion by now.
She recalled the scene when she met Mr. Zhu just now.
The moment she saw him again, Hua Manman felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart.
That sense of familiarity made her immediately think of the main god.
Presumably that Mr. Zhu is the incarnation of the Lord God.
Hua Manman lifted up the hem of her skirt, and then rolled up her trouser legs, revealing the dagger tied to her calf.
She took off the dagger and drew the blade.
The sharp blade shone with a sharp cold light.
Now that the goal has been determined, the next step is to look for opportunities to approach the goal.
…
After arriving at Yufu Palace, Concubine Zhen wanted to visit her second sister.
Now she is already unable to protect herself.
Before she died, she had to find a way to send her second sister away.
Mammy, however, told her in a panic.
"The red bean girl is gone!"
Concubine Zhen was shocked, and asked sharply: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her? Why did you let her disappear?"
Mammy knelt on the ground and shivered: "I don't know what's going on, I always carry the key with me, but the key suddenly disappeared, and it's too late when I find out."
Concubine Zhen hurriedly ran to the room where Hua Manman was closed to have a look.
There were no traces of fighting in the room, and the door lock was intact.
Obviously, Hua Manman stole the key by some means, and then opened the door and left quietly.
In this way, Concubine Zhen was relieved.
As long as she doesn't get kidnapped.
In this situation, it is a good thing that she can leave safely.
At this moment, Xi Xiang hurried in.
"His Royal Highness, there is a message from Habayashi Guard, saying that he has been arrested according to your instructions."
Li Qiong was in a very bad mood at this time, so she responded casually and stopped talking.
Xixiang backed out tactfully.
Concubine Zhen had a bad premonition in her heart.
As soon as the second sister left, Habayashi Wei arrested someone.
This is too coincidental.
Concubine Zhen looked at Li Qiong and asked seriously, "You were caught sleeping?"
Now Li Qiong's mind is full of the matter of her mother's concubine's imminent burial, and her heart is so uncomfortable that she really doesn't have the mind to take care of other things.
With red eyes, he said: "Mother, concubine, don't worry about other people, you should think about what to do now? My son must not just watch you die."
Concubine Zhen frowned: "No one can change the edict of a saint. You tell me first, who are you arresting?"
Li Qiong muffled: "My son doesn't know."
Concubine Zhen didn't believe it: "How could you not know? You were caught by someone."
Li Qiong explained: "It was Mr. Zhu who discovered a sneaky person. My son was worried that an assassin had sneaked into the palace, so he asked Habayashi Wei to arrest him. My son has never seen that person. It is really not true." Know who that man is."
Concubine Zhen knows about Mr. Zhu.
That Mr. Zhu didn't know where he came from. He was very knowledgeable. It can be said that he knew astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. There is nothing in this world that he doesn't know.
Li Qiong has never seen a man as knowledgeable and talented as him, and he respects him very much.
In recent days, Mr. Zhu has been by Li Qiong's side. He not only tutors Li Qiong with her homework on weekdays, but also helps Li Qiong with advice when encountering problems. He is the most trusted person in Li Qiong.
Concubine Zhen once sent someone to test Mr. Zhu, but nothing was wrong with him.
He seems to be really loyal to the prince.
When Li Qiong mentioned Mr. Zhu, his heart moved.
"My son almost forgot about Mr. Zhu! Mr. Zhu is so smart, there must be a way to save mother and concubine!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately called for someone to call Mr. Zhu over quickly.
