Early the next morning, the two of them got up from bed at about three o'clock in the morning.
After washing, Lu Qingtang went to see Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was in good condition and could get out of bed to eat. Lu Qingtang mentioned the woman to her.
Concubine Shu forgot at first, but only remembered after Lu Qingtang reminded her.
The middle-aged woman who always peeked at Mo Zeshen was also the one who saved Lu Qingtang. She once promised Lu Qingtang to help her identify him.
So Concubine Shu followed Lu Qingtang to the vicinity of Longqing Palace, and the three of them hid under a tree.
This angle is just opposite the gate of Longqing Palace, and you can have a clear view of the surrounding things.
At this time, large and small carriages were lined up in front of the Longqing Palace. The eunuchs were loading things into the carriages, and Mo Zeshen was standing in front of the door giving instructions.
These were all rewards that Lu Qingtang received in the palace, including Concubine Shu's three hundred taels of consultation money.
Lu Qingtang was not interested in those good things, but real money and silver were good things.
After she left the palace, she exchanged the three hundred taels of silver for banknotes, plus the two hundred taels she had previously treated for Zheng Guogong's young prince, for a total of five hundred taels.
When the time comes, you can take Su Mu with you and wander around the world, living the life you want.
Moreover, she had already thought about how to escape and would tell Mo Zeshen later when she got into the carriage.
"Why haven't I seen that woman for so long? Could it be that she won't come?" Su Mu muttered in a low voice.
Lu Qingtang was also a little unsure, "If she can peek the first time, she will peek the second time. But there are too many people here, she won't be scared, right?"
"It's possible, let's wait a little longer." Concubine Shu said.
The three of them continued to look around.
After a while, Su Mu was seen pointing not far away with his finger and shouting at the same time, "Look, it's that woman!"
Looking in the direction of Su Mu's finger, he saw a middle-aged woman hiding behind the tree, with the trunk blocking her body and only her upper body exposed.
Her face was sallow and she looked in poor health, skinny and somewhat malnourished. But it can still be seen that she has a beautiful face, with a bit of a bookish air, and she was a beauty when she was young.
The last time she saved herself was at night. Lu Qingtang couldn't see the face clearly, but she could recognize the figure.
"Yes, she was the one who saved me at night. They are the same person." Lu Qingtang said firmly.
Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes and said, "It's Mr. Wang."
"Is there anything special about her?" Lu Qingtang asked quickly.
Concubine Shu shook her head with some regret, "I'm sorry, Princess Chen, I don't know her well, I only know that there is such a person in the palace. She was favored when she was young, and she became pregnant because of it, but she gave birth to a child The dead baby, I heard, is a princess. If the princess is still alive, she should be as old as your prince."
"And since then, this talented person has fallen out of favor. She keeps her head down and doesn't talk all day long, as if she's stupid. She doesn't pay attention to anyone who talks to her. She looks really pitiful."
Concubine Shu continued to add, and sighed after finishing speaking.
Probably because he was worried that he would have the same fate as Wang Cairen.
"I see, but I always feel like there's something weird somewhere." Lu Qingtang scratched his head, "But I can't tell what it is, it's just weird."
She gave birth to a princess. Even if she misses her own child, it stands to reason that the ones taking a peek should be the other princesses in the palace.
Why are you staring at Mo Zeshen so hard?
This is very illogical.
Su Mu whispered to the side, "By the way, I heard that Concubine Ning also had a princess and she was raised outside."
"I know this!" Concubine Shu couldn't wait to speak. "I heard that the princess was born with a congenital defect. Concubine Ning held her all day long and didn't allow anyone to move. Later, in order to make the princess healthy, she sent her to a temple outside the palace. Raised."
What Bingyun called going out of the palace to do business was actually going out of the palace to visit the princess.
These are all open secrets in the palace.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "You are so excited when talking about my mother-in-law. You are afraid that others will not know that you are asking about her."
"I must know about her. Who knows if she is here to harm me." Concubine Shu curled her lips, "But then again, your sister-in-law will be back soon, right?"
The corner of Lu Qingtang's mouth twitched, "One mother-in-law is enough, plus a sister-in-law, how can I survive? There are too many things in Mo Zeshen's family, they are endless, and I am almost exhausted."
As she said this, Lu Qingtang suddenly felt unhappy when Su Mu winked at her.
"Su Mu, I know you don't like to hear about these bad things in the family, but I also want to say that in the future you either don't get married. Or you just listen to me and don't live with your mama's boy. You know I used to What kind of life are you living, that Mo Zeshen, he's going to praise his mother to the sky, you know!" Lu Qingtang became angrier as he talked, wanting to beat Mo Zeshen violently.
Concubine Shu trembled for a moment, then rushed behind Lu Qingtang with a mournful face, "Chen...Prince Chen, why are you here?"
King Chen?
Lu Qingtang's jaw dropped in shock.
Did he hear the bad things she just said about Mo Zeshen? No wonder Su Mu winked at him.
Damn it that she didn't understand such desperate hints!
Lu Qingtang turned around silently, but saw Mo Zeshen folding his arms and looking at her with a playful look, a half-smile that made people feel numb.
"My lord, why are you here? Is the car loaded up?" Lu Qingtang gave Mo Zeshen a smile that was uglier than crying, and said somewhat obediently.
Concubine Shu swallowed her throat, "Prince Chen, Princess Chen, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
With that said, Concubine Shu ran away, and Qing Yao behind her quickly followed.
Run faster than a rabbit.
"Su Mu, go see if the princess has anything left unpacked."
Mo Zeshen still looked at Lu Qingtang teasingly, and spoke to Su Mu without raising his head.
Su Mu responded, looked at Lu Qingtang with sympathetic eyes for a moment, and then ran away.
Now, only Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen were left.
Lu Qingtang was about to cry but had no tears, so he could only smile at him with a shy face. He really couldn't think of any way to get off.
Mo Ze squatted down, with a smile in his eyes, "Lu Qingtang, you are so brave, you dare to say bad things about me, do you know the consequences?"
"I was wrong..." Lu Qingtang raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Mo Zeshen raised his hand and lightly brushed the back of her head, "You still know you're wrong? What do you know!"
After saying that, he stood up and rolled his eyes at Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang curled his lips and reached out to touch the back of his head. He felt so guilty that he didn't even dare to look at him.
"What are you doing here, and what tricks are you playing?" Mo Zeshen stood where Su Mu was and looked around, "You're not spying on me, are you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qingtang immediately became happy, "Spying on you? What a beautiful idea!"
So narcissistic!
