This queen is not too curly

Under the night, Yan Yuan followed the little girl named Lianqiao through the dark corridor.

This time she didn't hold the lotus lantern, and she couldn't see anything when walking, she could only hold Lianqiao's little hand and follow her guidance all the way forward.

Not long ago, she asked Lian Qiao if she knew the whereabouts of the baby Chen Lingshen had rescued and another girl. She thought that some means might be needed, but the little girl agreed.

"Of course you can!"

"Really?"

"Your Majesty is the Queen's Empress, and you must listen to what your Majesty says!"

The little girl Forsythia agreed swearingly, and things went so smoothly that it was like a trap.

In the dark, the road twists and turns.

Yan Yuan kept her eyes open and asked Lianqiao softly: "What's your name, which palace maid are you from?"

Forsythia said naively: "The maidservant is called Lianqiao, she is not a court lady, but a doctor's apprentice of the imperial hospital!"

Doctor apprentice?

Yan Yuan was stunned.

When she saw the little girl crying just now, she just thought that it must be some kind of little ramshackle palace lady who is actually an apprentice doctor in the imperial hospital?

The little medical apprentices in the Imperial Hospital are all famous doctors from outside, this little girl... really can't tell.

Yan Yuan asked curiously: "Which imperial doctor are you an apprentice?"

Lian Qiao said proudly: "The master of this servant is Luo Yuyi."

Yan Yuan: "...Luo Ziqiu?"

Lianqiao excitedly said: "Yes, yes!"

When she got excited, she stopped and turned her head.

Yan Yuan bumped into Forsythia by accident, and felt as if her body hit a wall of soft compresses, and a fresh and sweet aroma of pastries rushed over her face.

Lianqiao immediately covered her head and cried, "Is it hurting, Madam? Lianqiao's head is very hard and whining..."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Is this person really Luo Ziqiu's apprentice?
He obviously doesn't look very smart...

Thinking of Luo Ziqiu's smiling fox appearance, Yan Yuan couldn't help but wonder, could it be possible that she has some kind of medical skills that can dissect people's hearts and pretend to be herself?
In the dark night, the two walked slowly.

Forsythia really has her own way, she obviously knows the topography of the palace like the back of her hand, from every gap in the courtyard wall, to the guarding time of every wave of guards, to the shadow range of every tree under the moonlight , she knows everything.

Yan Yuan followed her stop and go, and arrived at the back door of the imperial hospital.

The back door was locked.

Lianqiao raised her small head, gave Yan Yuan a proud look, took out a key from her neck, opened the back door, and took Yan Yuan's hand to slowly walk around to the small courtyard of the imperial hospital.

"Master hid the baby in the study."

"There is also a very fierce and fierce girl."

"No one else knows, only Lianqiao knows."

The little girl Forsythia laughed so hard that her mouth parted, and her whole body was as soft and waxy as a piece of pastry.

She seemed completely unprepared for people, and didn't know how outrageous what she was doing at the moment, but she just led Yan Yuan into the courtyard, and opened the door of the study with enthusiasm.

"Now the empress knows too!"

In the study, Luo Ziqiu inspected the Blue City secret report brought back by Huiqiu.He had just ignited the secret report in his hand, before the flames had time to devour the paper, there was a sudden gust of wind.

The door opened, Luo Ziqiu raised his head.

Accidentally, she met Yan Yuan's eyes who were also shocked.

Luo Ziqiu: "..."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Obviously, Forsythia Lou had missed information.

The critical kind.

"Master, the empress said she wants to visit the baby~"

"..."

"..."

Fine.

Come here.

Yan Yuan smiled at Luo Ziqiu, and walked into the room openly.

She also came to this place last time, but she was in a hurry to ask for medicine and didn't take a good look at it. It turns out that there is a high-rise attic above this room. At this time, there are candles on the attic. Very conspicuous.

Where is that?

Yan Yuan narrowed her eyes and looked at the attic.

Luo Ziqiu had already recovered from the shock, and his face regained his composure. He smiled and said, "Why is your lady so interested in coming to the Imperial Hospital?"

Yan Yuan said: "I came to see the girl from the night before, I want to ask her for a favor."

Luo Ziqiu naturally knew who the girl she was talking about was, he thought about it for a while, but he didn't feel embarrassed, he bowed to Yan Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Yan Yuan nodded, and followed Luo Ziqiu's figure into a side door.

There is a long and narrow passage behind the side door. At the end of the passage is a small room. It is dark night, and the lights in the room are like boats on the river.

Before getting close, I heard the faint cry of a baby coming from the front.

When approaching the door, Luo Ziqiu Que stopped and blocked Yan Yuan's way.

"Your Majesty, you need to be more careful when you enter the room. That girl..." Luo Ziqiu paused for a while, carefully choosing his words, "...maybe a little unfriendly."

unfriendly?
Why would it be unkind?
Yan Yuan looked at him suspiciously.

Last night, with a gentle scum face on his face, he persuaded gently, all the little girls in Meiyuan were seduced, how could they be unfriendly?Shouldn't he bring his family and his family to his imperial hospital?
Under the night, Luo Ziqiu's face was indescribably downcast: "Last night, Wei Chen took that girl to the Plum Garden, and brought out a two-month-old baby, and found traces of poisonous insect bites on the baby. So I persuaded that girl to call other people to come out and go back to the imperial hospital together."

Yan Yuan: "Is she unwilling?"

This ending is actually not difficult to guess.

Those people suffered a great loss in the palace, and lived on the fish and shrimp in the plum garden for an unknown number of years, so how could they trust a stranger so easily?
Being able to bring out the baby is already a great trust, and it is not something that can be done overnight to let them go out of the plum garden collectively.

Luo Ziqiu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "She agreed."

The wind was very cold that night.

The little girl hugged the child and squatted at the gate of the plum garden for a long time.

Finally, she finally mustered up her courage, and once again went to the secret hiding place among the weeds to persuade those who were bitten by poisonous insects and had festering rashes on their bodies to follow her back to the Royal Hospital for medical treatment.

She went in for a long time without any movement, presumably there was some dispute inside, and finally two panicked women were successfully brought out.

Yan Yuan asked nervously, "And then?"

Not being fully trusted is the obvious end.

But no matter what, it won't turn against each other.

As the night wind blew, Luo Ziqiu lowered his eyebrows: "They followed Weichen within a hundred steps, and they saw the people from the Department of Internal Affairs..."

He was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and said in a low voice: "Set fire to the garden."

... set fire to the garden?
Yan Yuan was stunned, only feeling a creepy coolness creeping into the soles of her feet.

The Plum Garden is huge, and she and Peng Yue have checked the lost rooms long ago. There are no traces of human life, only the weeds that are as tall as a person in the yard are overwhelming, and it is impossible to explore deeply.

Autumn is here, and the grass has turned into withered grass.

The fastest way is of course...

There was a fire.

Be it ghosts or the living.

When it burns out, there is nothing left.

……

"My lady, please be careful."

Under the night, Luo Ziqiu gently opened the door and guided Yan Yuan in.

There was a dim lamp in the room, and there were three skinny girls squatting in the corner under the lamp. They were like three mice huddled in a coke oven, staring at the intruder with terrified eyes. .

"you……"

Yan Yuan didn't have time to speak.

I saw a figure suddenly rushing out from the corner, rushing towards Luo Ziqiu: "Liar, you liar!"

The man was crying, and stretched out his bony hands towards Luo Ziqiu's neck.

Soon he realized that he couldn't reach it, so he changed direction and grabbed Luo Ziqiu's wrist, and bit down hard.Luo Ziqiu would naturally struggle, so the man lost his teeth, but still tore a piece of cloth from his cuff.

Her face was completely exposed to the candlelight.

Yan Yuan recognized that it was the girl who first fled with her that day.

At this moment, she was still holding the piece of cloth she had bitten off in her mouth, staring at Luo Ziqiu with hateful eyes, and the aura of immortality was written all over her body.

It seems that Luo Ziqiu's stay here is useless, but it will make the girl more emotional.

Yan Yuan thought for a while and said, "Doctor Luo, can I have a chat with them alone?"

Luo Ziqiu refused without thinking: "No, it's too dangerous for the empress to be here."

Yan Yuan glanced around the room, and said lightly: "There are no blunt weapons here, and they won't be able to hurt me in a short time. Doctor Luo only needs to be outside the door."

The room had obviously been cleaned deliberately. There was only a bed in it, no table, no chairs, no cabinets, not even candle holders.

Luo Ziqiu hesitated for a while, then nodded.

He exited the room and closed the door gently.

Only Yan Yuan and the three girls were left in the room.

And a baby.

The baby stopped crying, its black eyes rolled, and its chubby little hands were grasping in the air.

Yan Yuan was amused by the sight, and unknowingly took two steps closer, instinctively wanting to put her finger into the baby's palm.

Unexpectedly, a figure rushed up quickly and pushed her away: "Go away! Don't touch him!"

Yan Yuan looked up at her: "Don't you remember me?"

Just last night, she took her by the hand and led her around half of the palace, and finally jumped into the lake. No matter what, it was a fateful friendship.

The girl glared at Yan Yuan viciously: "I remember! That's why I didn't bite you!"

Her body was firmly between the baby and Yan Yuan, and if Yan Yuan took a step closer, she would rush forward and tear Yan Yuan into pieces.

"Before I change my mind, get out!"

Yan Yuan stopped moving forward, but just stared into the girl's eyes and said: "Last night was just a coincidence, those who burned the garden were not in the same group as me, and Doctor Luo."

The girl screamed: "I don't believe it!"

Yan Yuan said: "If we were in the same group, we would set fire to the garden anyway. Why should we take you away and jump into the lake with you? You clearly saw the current emperor last night. Could it be that the emperor and Eunuch Tu Shan who persecuted you would also be the same?" A group? The emperor wants to abduct and sell some girls, why bother to forge their names?"

Her voice was unhurried, and she asked a series of questions, which completely stunned the girl.

Indeed, if the emperor needs civilian girls, he only needs to post a notice to recruit them, and then say that the civilian girls have made mistakes in the palace and will be executed. There is no need to be so sneaky.

So the emperor and Eunuch Tu Shan must not be in the same group.

The one in front of me is the empress, who took her away last night. The empress must be with the emperor, so she should not be Tu Shan's accomplice.

A shaken look appeared on the girl's face.

Seeing her shaken, two older women in the corner immediately scolded her:

"Don't trust her!"

"Last night you trusted that man so we were arrested!"

"You forget that Suzutama and the others are still alive or dead, maybe, maybe they have already been burned to death!"

"Hurry up and get her out!!!"

The girl who was scolded instantly had red eye circles, and the hesitation on her face was swept away, replaced by endless hatred.

She screamed and rushed toward Chao Yanyuan, wanting to deal with the queen in front of her like Luo Ziqiu. She didn't want to really hurt her, but just wanted to drive her out.

But I don't know why, the queen just flickered a little, obviously only moved a small distance, but not only made her attack fail, but also caused her wrist to be caught by the queen.

There was a sharp pain in the arm, and the girl was dragged in the opposite direction by the queen, and her whole body was restrained.

She suddenly struggled in a panic: "Ahhh——"

"The Empress!"

The door was opened, and the man named Luo Ziqiu rushed into the room, looking at the empress with a panicked expression, as if he was about to step forward to help and break the fight.

Just at this critical moment, she heard a voice ringing in her ears:

"Your name is He Yuan, isn't it?"

Almost at the same time, the force that restrained her loosened instantly, but she didn't dare to move.

The girl's whole body was stiff, and her eyes were almost opened.

She just heard that name that seemed to be from another world, and the blood in her whole body was boiling.

In this palace, no one has ever known this name, even the sisters who share life and death in Meiyuan can only call her by her nickname.

She turned around and looked at the empress in disbelief: "You..."

Yan Yuan smiled at her.

From her expression, she knew she was right.

A grasslander who was born in a reckless family could tell that the soup was laced with sweat medicine just by the smell. He was tricked by a caravan to the imperial capital, and because he was too old, he missed the selection of a court lady...

She knew one such girl.

She has been looking for it for a long time.

She was indeed the younger sister of the kidnapper brother.

He Yuan opened his mouth and spoke incoherently: "You, how do you know..."

Yan Yuan turned her back to Luo Ziqiu, without hiding anything, she spoke calmly: "I was entrusted by your brother to enter the palace to look for you."

"You're lying... My brother can't possibly know someone from the government..."

"I didn't know him at first." Yan Yuan hooked the corner of her mouth, "Who asked him to tie me up."
