Lu Qingtang's arrogant and unreasonable words immediately made the people in the car angry, "It's really unreasonable. Believe it or not, I will report it to the police and arrest you!"
Lu Qingtang sneered, "If you have the ability, go report it to the government. Your yamen is open, and you will be arrested as soon as you ask. You are so shameless!"
The coachman was also angry at her words. He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to fight. When Yuan Lang saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said with an apologetic smile on his face: "My head is illiterate and I made you laugh. You tell me how much you want, and I will pay for it."
"Humph, you are a reasonable man, why did you marry such a violent woman!" The coachman looked at Lu Qingtang with disgust, and then said to Yuan Lang with a cold face, "Just give me two coins. , I won’t care about what happened just now.”
Yuan Lang said yes, nodded and bowed, and began to touch the money on his body. He fumbled for two coins, and just when he was about to hand it to the coachman, Lu Qingtang immediately spoke again, "How dare you! You have forgotten who is in charge of this family!"
When Yuan Lang heard this, he immediately retracted the hand that was handing him the money, leaving the driver in vain.
"Hey, you're still being unreasonable!" The coachman blushed with anger.
Lu Qingtang took a sip at him, then pinched his waist and said, "I can't compensate you. I want to see if the people in the car are injured. I will only compensate if they are injured."
She said, quickly stepping forward and pulling open the curtain.
The people in the car obviously didn't react, and they all looked at Lu Qingtang blankly.
Lu Qingtang only showed a pair of eyes at this time, and his face was blackened, so they couldn't recognize him.
But she could tell at a glance that the woman who had just entered the room was Bingyun next to Concubine Ning, the same Bingyun who had been knocked to the ground by her.
After Bingyun came to his senses, he immediately said angrily: "How dare you, a country boy, come to lift the curtain? Believe it or not, I'll find someone to beat you to death!"
Lu Qingtang glanced at her and said, "He talks so arrogantly. It looks like he's fine. Just give him a penny."
With that said, she closed the curtain and gave Yuan Lang a wink.
Yuan Lang understood it and took out a broken piece of silver and handed it to the coachman, "That's it. There won't be any more. Please be more patient."
The driver looked at the change of two denarii into one denarius. Naturally, he felt unhappy. He cursed and drove away from the place.
It wasn't until he saw the carriage disappeared that Kou Dan took off his turban and quickly asked Lu Qingtang, "Princess, did you see clearly?"
Lu Qingtang raised his eyebrows at Kou Dan and smiled, "Guess first, you have seen this person, and more than once."
Kou Dan thought for a moment and then asked: "Where did I see her? Is she from the royal palace? Or from the general's palace?"
Lu Qingtang shook his head and said, "She is neither from the General's Mansion nor the Prince's Mansion. You should have only seen her in the General's Mansion."
Kou Dan thought about it again and couldn't help but frown. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she looked at Lu Qingtang. Lu Qingtang was also looking at her, and the two of them said the name almost at the same time.
"Bingyun!"
Lu Qingtang nodded, "Yes, it's her."
Kou Dan looked puzzled, wondering why she came to Lu Qingyue and Ning Xinran.
Yuan Lang on the side was even more confused. He didn't understand why a palace maid walked out of the palace so easily.
"Now we have to go back and interrogate the eunuchs who guard Qingquan Palace!" Lu Qingtang picked up the whip and slapped the donkey's butt.
The donkey ran so fast that the three of them almost fell apart.
After returning to Zhuangzi, they simply tidied up and the three of them returned to the palace together. Early the next morning, Lu Qingtang entered the palace again on the pretext of seeing the Queen Mother.
It wasn't a lie, it was because he really needed to see the Queen Mother. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Lu Qingtang felt relieved. Then, she went to inquire about the eunuchs who had guarded Qingquan Palace.
Now they don't have to take care of Qingquan Palace, they are all sent to various places, some sweep, some look after the garden, and some wait on people.
I don't know if it was a matter of means, but Lu Qingtang just couldn't get the information he wanted from them, but fortunately he had Mo Zeshen's help.
It was inconvenient for him to go out, so he asked the guards of the palace to accompany Lu Qingtang into the palace. On the surface, it was for protection, but in fact, he wanted to find a way to get these eunuchs out of the palace. After arriving at the palace, they were imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace and began to torture and extort confessions.
The eunuchs were all weaklings, and in less than half a day, they all confessed.
During the days when Qingquan Palace was banned, Bingyun often sneaked out from inside, but he did not dare to go out from the main entrance. He always followed the food delivery cart from the imperial kitchen.
Once in the morning and once in the evening, no one paid attention to these three maids.
As for what Bingyun was going to do, they didn't know.
Also, that time Mo Bao and the Queen Mother got lost in the palace, it was Bingyun who gave them the idea. They pretended to go with the others to find the Queen Mother and Mo Bao, and then publicized the matter in the palace. Concubine Ning was lifted from the ban within two days.
However, Lu Qingtang also figured out the lifting of the ban in the past few days. It was not that Emperor Kangyuan was soft-hearted, but that he deliberately let Concubine Ning out. He wanted to praise Mo Zeyuan to the heavens and make all the officials believe that he was the prince below, so as to pave the way for Mo Zeyuan, while Concubine Ning was just a chess piece.
Then, these eunuchs explained other things, and Lu Qingtang didn't care about those messy things.
One thing she was sure of was that Concubine Ning and the others must be plotting something very important. A woman's sixth sense told her that this matter was probably targeting her.
Based on this intuition, Lu Qingtang increased his vigilance.
A few days later, she entered the palace again, gave the Queen Mother a full body examination, and then went to find Concubine Shu with a sad look.
Concubine Shu took the initiative to ask about the Queen Mother's condition as soon as they met, and Lu Qingtang said: "It hasn't been long, and the whole body system has begun to gradually fail. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year."
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then her eye circles turned red, "Why should such a good person have to suffer so much?"
Lu Qingtang thought the same way. She hoped that she would not suffer so much when she grew old. It would be better to just wake up and die, and she would have dignity and no pain.
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Qingtang just mentioned the maid named Xiaofu from Qingquan Palace, and Concubine Shu immediately made a gesture of silence.
She understood immediately.
It seemed that something unexpected had happened to this little blessing, and his life was lost.
Lu Qingtang immediately felt guilty, but Concubine Shu advised her to relax. After all, people like Xiaofu are here for money. She knew that Concubine Ning was a dangerous person, but she was still willing to be bribed for money. She deserved such an end.
Although she said this, Lu Qingtang always felt bad. After all, it was a human life. Even if she was greedy for money, she would not be punished until death.
