Chapter 690

The dusk drum sounded, and the courtyard door was locked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Erfu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, had just come out of the clean room, with long wet hair and a moon-white cigarette sara embroidered with ripples, sitting in the pavilion in the corner of the courtyard, drinking chilled juice, leisurely playing a fan, gossiping with Yaoqin, Ya'er and other palace maids, when he heard a ping-pong knock at the door of the courtyard that had been locked.

Knocking on the door is a very particular thing, especially if the owner's courtyard has been locked.

Erfu listened to the ping-pong sound at the gate of the courtyard like a drum, his heart sank, he held the hand of the glass cup, shook unconsciously, and took deep breaths again and again, only then calmed his heartbeat, frowned slightly displeased, squinted at Yaoqin who was waiting next to her, and motioned her to go over and take a look.

With a creak, the courtyard door shrouded in shadows was reopened by Yaoqin, and the knocking on the door stopped, but after waiting for a while, Yaoqin didn't come over, just as Erfu was waiting a little impatiently, and was about to step towards the courtyard gate, Yaoqin returned to her side with a tense face, and said respectfully: "Master, the slave maid will wait for you to go in and change your clothes first, the thirteenth master in the capital is here!"

"At this hour, why is the Thirteenth Master here?" Erfu tilted her head slightly in confusion, looked at the gate of the courtyard with a rather dark eyeline, but couldn't see the movement over there, only a shadow looked at two or three people standing, she looked down at the translucent floor-towing robe she was wearing, and then nodded, muttering while following Yaoqin into the upper room to change clothes.

After a while, Erfu changed into a more formal flag dress, and even her hair, which was not dry, had been combed into a shelf, and a few colorful golden hairpins were put on the hairpins, which allowed Yaoqin to invite the Thirteenth Master from outside.

"Yinxiang has seen the fourth sister-in-law. "The old thirteen, who has experienced the seizure of the title and the confinement, looks a lot older than the one Erfu saw a few years ago, and his back should be as straight and heavy as a pine and cypress, but he is also slightly rickety, wearing a stone blue shell robe, loosely covering the old thirteen, which makes the old thirteen embarrassed, as soon as he enters the door, he respectfully greeted a thousand children, and did not raise his head to greet him.

Hearing this, Erfu smiled and nodded, pointed to the official hat chair placed on the head, and let him sit down and speak.

Yinxiang didn't see outside, he bowed his hand to Erfu again, and sat down, but he didn't speak, but kept staring at Zhang Bao, who accompanied him, and looked at Yinxiang's eyes that were about to fly out of his sockets, Erfu's mood became heavier and heavier.

"Thirteenth master, I am a child today, learn from the fourth master, and call you the old thirteen!" Erfu waited patiently for a quarter of an hour or so, and saw that Zhang Bao and the old thirteen were still looking at each other, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised her hand and knocked the gilded armrest of the throne with the gilt armor, attracting the attention of both to herself, and then her eyes glanced at Zhang Bao sharply, and turned her head to the helpless old thirteen to speak," Although you and the fourth master are not brothers of the same mother, but in these masters, they are the brothers with the best feelings, compared to the feelings of the fourth master and the fourteenth master, I am afraid that it is even deeper, you are so dusty and dusty late at night, it must be something terrible in Beijing, I am not a coward, you don't have to be afraid of scaring me, I can withstand it, you just have to say it, otherwise you sit like this, I am a cranky guess, isn't it even more worrying!"

After speaking, she took a deep breath, restrained the expressions on her face, and learned the state of those strong women who were full of aura in the TV series, sat up straight, looking like she had no desires, and only used her eagle-like sharp eyes to silently look at the next more uneasy old thirteen.

This is a heart-to-heart contest, to put it bluntly, that is, who is more patient.

Soon, the old thirteen who came with an errand couldn't bear it, he flicked the mutton fat jade wrench on his thumb again and again, calming down the messy mind, to say that this way from the capital to the horse, he also thought about how to talk to Erfu, but he didn't have a clue, a thought in the east, a thought in the west, a lot of thoughts, the moment he came to Erfu, those messy ideas disappeared directly, only silence remained, the most annoying thing was Zhang Bao, obviously already knew what happened in Beijing, why didn't he know to say a word for him, these eunuchs are so unrighteous。

The old thirteen thought about it for a while, but calmed down, chose to avoid the important and light, and said in a dumb voice with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Little fourth sister-in-law, the emperor Ama Kaien, specially ordered the old thirteen to take you back to Beijing." ”

"It's nothing to do, I suddenly made a decree, the old thirteen is fooling me!" Erph said, if the old thirteen's face could be better-looking, or speak more refreshingly, instead of thinking about it for so long before saying this, she would feel happier, but now...... She couldn't be happy at all, but she also understood that she couldn't get an answer from the old thirteen, so she could only smile bitterly and nodded, which was regarded as receiving the old man Kangxi from the old thirteen.

Seeing this, the pressure on the old thirteen was light, his face looked much better, and he continued: "Little fourth sister-in-law, it is rare for the emperor to be kind, let's hurry up and set off, and strive to rush back to Beijing before it gets dark tomorrow." ”

"Why is it so urgent!" asked Erph, frowning.

The distance from Shengjing to the capital is not far, but in the ancient era of underdeveloped transportation, it is definitely not an easy thing to rush back in one day and one night, especially now that the city gates have been locked, the old thirteen came in such a hurry, it has already surprised her, but now it seems that she also needs to leave for Beijing at night, this is afraid that something big has happened in Beijing, what will this be?

Erfu really didn't have a clue, in her opinion, even if the old emperor died suddenly, or the fourth master suddenly contracted some serious illness, she was not an important person who had to be there, could it be ...... Something happened to Guo Luoluo?

It was the only thing she could think of that required her to step forward.

With such a mentality, although Erfu frowned unnaturally, she was not very anxious, after all, the relationship between her and Guo Luoluo was not much better than that of two strangers who had never known each other.

A group of seven or eight people, lightly armed, and did not bring an accompanying escort, Erfu and Qingdai rode a fast horse together in this way under the cover of night, hurriedly left the scope of Shengjing City, along the official road, all the way to the capital without looking back, even on the road to rest, but just to eat a few mouthfuls of hard dry food, then once again turned over on the horse and continued to hurry, when they came to the capital boundary monument, Erfu has even become a problem to walk.

"Little fourth sister-in-law, let's rest here for a while, and then let's go directly to Zhuangzi!" The old thirteen looked at Erfu, whose face was full of earth, his expression was even more solemn, and he said softly while handing the few dry food left to Erfu.

"To Zhuangzi?" Erf wondered.

Hearing this, the thirteenth nodded, but did not answer Erfu's words, and directly used the excuse of feeding water and grass to the horses, avoiding Erfu's side, and at the same time he did not forget to pull Zhang Bao aside.

Looking at the mysterious actions of the two of them, Erf, who was already exhausted, really didn't have the strength to ask the old thirteen, anyway, she had already entered Beijing, even if it was a big secret, the old thirteen didn't want to tell her, she would get the answer soon, with this work with the old thirteen, she better save her breath and rest.

She drank a few sips of mountain spring water, took a few bites of astringent dry food, leaned on the trunk behind her, straightened her sore legs, and took advantage of the gap between Lao Thirteen and Zhang Bao to feed the horses.

After a while, just when she felt that her legs had regained a little sense, Lao Thirteen and Zhang Bao had already led the horse around from the side, she supported Yaoqin's shoulder with one hand, and the ground with the other, and got up with great difficulty, and with the support of Qing Dai, she turned over on the horse again.

"That...... Well......

Little sister-in-law, you must calm down for a while!" The thirteenth man watched Erf's difficult horse-mounting, carefully peeked at Erfu's face, bit his lip, and reminded him uncomfortably, then turned over and straddled another high-headed horse, and with a strong leg, he drove the horse to the southwest path.

Erfu looked at the direction in which the thirteenth child left, and glanced at Yaoqin inexplicably.

She recognized the direction that Lao Thirteen left, it should be a shortcut to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Daxing County, she had walked with the fourth master before, and on the tree next to it, there was a love poem engraved by her and the fourth master!

Could it be...... It was only at this time that she suddenly realized that she had ignored something, but she didn't have time to think about it before Qingdai and Zhang Bao had already urged her to go.

It was noon, and the scorching sun was shining straight across the earth.

On horseback, the dizzy Erfu looked at the rough wooden gate of Zhuangzi not far away, she looked at the plain white silk hanging on the lintel and the rough servants in plain clothes and filial piety clothes, she understood what kind of occasion it was, she had to come forward, her two pairs of children left in Beijing, if anyone had an accident, then her biological mother would be present even if she was no longer valued by the royal family.

Erfu, who was already holding on to the spirit and sitting on horseback, felt that it was dark in front of him when he thought of this, and he planted the horse's back uncontrollably, and it was also thanks to Zhang Baoda that he had been paying attention to Erfu's emotions since he arrived near Zhuangzi, so he didn't let Erfu fall to the ground so upright, made a meat sandbag, and put it under Erfu's body.

"Come on!" But even so, Erfu, who fell off the horse, did not have any breath, Zhang Bao trembled his fingers, tested Erfu's snort, and when he landed, his face changed and he roared, and his already thin voice became more high-pitched and harsh.

In the blink of an eye, the rough servants at the gate of Zhuangzi surrounded them, and Yaoqin and several other palace maids who had rushed back from Shengjing with Erfu all the way also turned over and dismounted, and carefully caressed Erfu, who had collapsed on the ground, into his arms, and carried them into the Zhuangzi with plain white silk banners hanging half in his arms and half on his back.

If you ask Erfu who is the most important person to her in this world, it is naturally her two pairs of children, followed by the fourth master, the man she fell in love with, looking at the plain white silk flowers hanging all over the Zhuangzi and the sad atmosphere that can be seen everywhere, where would she not understand what happened, but what she didn't understand was that the children were obviously sent to Concubine De's side, with Concubine De's means, how could she not protect her children!

It was precisely because of her trust in Concubine De Niangniang that she hurried to Zhuangzi all the way, and she never thought that it would be her child who had an accident, so when she saw those rough servants wearing linen and filial piety and the silk flowers and white lanterns hanging at the door of Zhuangzi, she couldn't bear to faint.

When she woke up again, she only felt that everything in front of her was so strange.

"Erfu, Erfu......" The fourth master held Erfu's shoulders with sad eyes, looked at Erfu, who was as fragile and helpless as a porcelain doll, and greeted in a small voice, while rubbing Erfu's delicate cheeks with one hand, hoping to attract Erfu's unfocused eyes to himself.

What was that?

Erfu's ears, as if stuffed with a ball of cotton, in front of her as if covered with a layer of tulle, everything, for her is so blurry, the only dazzling is the room full of white, I don't know how long has passed, with the cry outside the room, only more than a meter tall Xiao Qi, dressed in a plain coarse cloth shirt, eyes full of red came to Erfu, Erfu seemed to wake up, she seemed to catch the life-saving Cao, quickly pushed away the fourth master holding her, and came to Xiao Qi's side smartly, and grabbed Xiao Qi's hand tightly in his hand, trembling his lips, his eyes were full of hope and he choked up and asked, "What's going on?" Xiao Qi, you tell E-Niang, what the hell is going on, all this is a nightmare for E-niang, right!"

Xiao Qi looked at the dazed Erfu and took a step back a little timidly.

Although she is very sensible, but in the end she is a child, she doesn't understand what happened, she doesn't understand why overnight, her lovely younger brother Hongxuan, Jiu'er, and her sister Xiao Jiu, who is like a pink doll, were pulled to this Zhuangzi, and she doesn't understand why Amma's face is full of bitterness and apologies for her, she doesn't understand what happened to Eniang, how can she seem so panicked, she wants to cry so much, listening to the sad music outside, she always feels sour and uncomfortable.

"Erfu, don't frighten Xiao Qi!" Seeing that Erfu was sitting on the ground weakly, the fourth master hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and at the same time took Xiao Qi, who was timid, in his arms, and said softly.
