Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 396: Out of the palace
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the hairpin!
That night, Lu Mingyu quietly left the palace and returned to the Second Prince's Mansion.
In the middle of the night, Lu Mingyu suddenly returned to the house, and Lu Yi was shocked. He turned over to bed, quickly put on his clothes and went to see the master: "I've seen the crown princess."
Under the candlelight, Lu Mingyu's expression was calm and his eyes were cold: "No ceremony, everyone will step down. I have something to tell Commander Lu alone."
The guards stepped back quickly.
Lu Mingyu said to Lu Yi, "Pass my order to get all the guards to dress up, and everyone to bring weapons and bows and arrows."
Lu Yi's eyes flashed with shock and astonishment, but he calmed down in an instant and surrendered.
Lu Mingyu said again: "I'll give you an hour to set off at four shifts."
Lu Yi didn't ask anything, and led the order to retreat.
The original personal soldiers in the Second Prince's Mansion were taken to the battlefield by Li Jing. For the past two years, the Lu family guards have been guarding the mansion. Lu Yi stayed at the Second Prince's Mansion for two years, and he did not sit idle and kept practicing.
An hour later, one hundred guards were all wearing night clothes, with long knives on their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, and the hooves of the horses were wrapped in cotton cloth.
Lu Mingyu also changed into night clothes, and her long hair was braided and tucked under a black hat. A pair of black eyes shone brightly in the night.
No one said anything, and no one asked what the master was going to do with him.
Lu Mingyu turned over and mounted, and all the guards mounted together. Out of the house in the dark night, galloping forward.
The cotton cloth couldn't completely resist the sound of hoofs, but it made the sound much darker.
The fast horse galloped and arrived at the Zhengqingmen before dawn.
There are four gates in the capital, Zhengqing Gate and Zhengde Gate are in opposite directions. The army of the Yan army gathered and set up camp fifty miles outside the Zhengde Gate. The Zhengde Gate fought for several days, and the noise of the fighting was loud.
There is no war at the Zhengqingmen for the time being, but the atmosphere is extremely tense and stagnant.
The sky was twilight, and the officers and soldiers defending the city heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately rushed out, setting up a battle to block: "Who is coming? The city gate is not open, hurry back!"
Since the troops of the Yan army approached the city, all the gates of the capital were closed, and no one was allowed to pass through.
Today suddenly came this group of people wearing night clothes and riding horses, and it looked wrong.
The city guard was murderous, and Lu Mingyu didn't move on his horse, and a group of guards quietly surrounded her in the middle. The Lu family's guards were all tall and strong, and at first glance they were dark and dark, and they naturally concealed her figure.
Lu Yi stepped forward and took out his waist card to the city guard: "I am Lu Yi from the Second Prince's Mansion, and I was ordered to go outside the city. Please open the city gate immediately!"
The Second Prince's Mansion?
Isn't it the Prince's Mansion?
The city guard was startled and immediately took the waist card. After careful inspection, he opened the city gate.
Several soldiers pushed open the heavy city gates. Before all the city gates were pushed open, everyone rushed out of the city gates on horseback. Before and after, but the effort of a stick of incense.
After the group left the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city closed the city gate again. A soldier approached the city guard and said in a low voice, "There are ruthless Yan troops outside, what are these hundreds of people doing out of the city? It's impossible to die!"
It's easy to get out of the city gate, but it's even harder to come back.
The city guard glared at him and said, "Shut up! It has nothing to do with you and me if you die or not. We just guard the city gate."
……
It's dawn.
Brother Huang and Sister Xuan rolled over and woke up with her eyes open almost at the same time. Rubbing his eyes, he immediately regained his energy and shouted loudly: "Mother!"
"Mother!"
On weekdays, with this shout, the mother will appear in front of you. It was Qiyun who came today.
"Your mother has a headache and needs to take medicine to sleep." Qiyun smiled and coaxed brother and sister Xuan: "This servant will take you to play in the garden, don't make trouble with your mother, okay?"
The two brothers and sisters were a little unhappy, and they soon forgot about not seeing their mother.
During this period, Lu Mingyu was very busy and had little time to spend with them. They were all accompanied by Qiyun and a few wet nurses. Going to play in the garden is also very enjoyable.
In the Jiaofang Hall, a group of stewards came to report the matter, only to find that the one sitting on the top today was Queen Qiao, who had not appeared for a long time.
Queen Qiao's condition is not yet cured, and her complexion is yellow.
Princess Hui'an, who was sitting beside Queen Qiao, glanced at the stewards: "If you have something to do, report back quickly. If you have something to say, just shut up."
Managing staff: "..."
No one dared to ask the Crown Princess why she wasn't there, and honestly went forward and reported it one by one.
Queen Joe cheers up the spirit director. Fortunately, with Princess Hui'an by her side, she could hold on.
Because Princess Hui'an's eyes were not good, no one dared to talk too much. Originally five sentences, they became one or two sentences. In just half an hour, today's palace affairs were finished.
Queen Qiao took a few sips of clear tea and slowly regained her breath.
Princess Hui'an felt sorry for her mother, and she had to mutter a few words: "Yesterday, the second sibling was fine, why did you suddenly get sick?"
Queen Qiao gave Princess Hui'an a sullen look: "Listen to what you said. Mrs. Lu has been busy for so many days, and she is not made of iron, so she should rest for a few days when she is ill. You can't pretend to be sick and be lazy."
"Thank you for saying this in front of me. If she finds out, I'll see how to deal with you."
Princess Hui'an touched her nose embarrassingly: "I'm just talking about it casually." Then: "I'll go to the East Palace to see my younger brother and sister!"
Queen Qiao immediately stopped her: "She is rarely sick once, let her rest in peace, and you don't go."
Princess Hui'an was not suspicious and nodded in agreement.
The news of Lu Mingyu's illness quickly spread to the concubines of the harem.
No one was suspicious.
The harem is a long day, and there are not a few palace concubines who fall ill. It's more common to report illness if something goes wrong. Like before, Concubine Meng had been ill for more than a year without seeing anyone.
Lu Mingyu is in charge of palace affairs, busy inside and outside, everyone can see it, and it is not uncommon to be tired and ill.
The Empress Dowager Zhao specially sent someone to visit the East Palace to visit ~IndoMTL.com~ and sent a bunch of supplements.
The sick crown princess didn't show up, Qiyun took the supplements and said a lot of words of gratitude, which will be dealt with in the future. The rest of the palaces came to visit and send supplements, all of which were handled by Qiyun.
Qiyun is Lu Mingyu's dowry maid, and Lu Mingyu's most trusted confidant. She came forward to deal with it, and no one was suspicious.
Only Concubine Su had some doubts in her heart.
She and Lu Mingyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never seen Lu Mingyu sick for several years in her previous life. Being in charge of the palace affairs is nothing to Lu Mingyu, how could he be so ill?
In the evening, the fifth prince, Li Chang, came to Yihua Palace to have dinner with Concubine Su.
Concubine Su asked Li Chang in a low voice, "Achang, is that Lu Mingyu really sick?"
The fat on Li Chang's face trembled, and his small eyes drooped: "Isn't the second sister-in-law sick? It can't be fake."
Concubine Su stared at Li Chang: "I've been thinking about it, but I always feel that something is wrong. Do you know something?"
