An Jingbo remembered that there were many good places to hide things in the palace, but he didn't know where Jin Qing hid the things.
Upon hearing An Jing's question, Jin Qing looked at An Jing's mysterious face and replied, "I put it in a very safe place."
She had just walked all the way from the cold palace holding the bag of bones, when she happened to hear the noise coming from a palace.
He dared to make such a loud noise in the palace. Jin Qing knew that the identity of the master of this palace must be unusual.
Moreover, there was a heavy black air lingering above the palace, which showed that the master of the palace was definitely not a kind person.
So, Jin Qing climbed into the Queen Mother's bedroom without thinking and stuffed the package in her hand into the Queen Mother's bed.
Looking at Jin Qing's triumphant look, An Jingbo said: "..." What did you do again!
On this day, there was a commotion in the palace.
The Royal Garden first lost a crane, and then a white tiger.
The crane has not been found until now, and although the tiger has been found, he only found a skeleton.
Still in the Queen Mother's bed...
The Queen Mother had been exhausted physically and mentally for the past two days, but after being frightened like this, she suddenly fell into a fever.
Yang Yuanzheng and other imperial physicians had already consulted the Queen Mother, but the results were very poor.
The imperial doctors were afraid that something would happen to the Queen Mother, so they did not dare to give heavy medicines. They could only come up with a few decent prescriptions, fry them and feed them to the Queen Mother.
Due to the loss of the crane and the white tiger, the steward of the Royal Garden was beaten several times in the past two days. Especially after the tiger bones appeared on the Queen Mother's bed, he was even more worried, fearing that his life might be in danger.
Just when the steward was anxious and frightened, news finally came from outside the palace.
They found the crane!
But before the steward could breathe a sigh of relief, the next news made his heart hang high again.
What they found was not a crane. There was a touch of red on the crane's head, but this crane was bald.
The crane's fur is black and white, but the fur on this crane's body is earthy yellow. There is not much difference in the rest.
But those people also assured him that when they put the crane into the night incense bucket and bring it into the palace tomorrow morning, the crane would be able to handle it exactly the same as the immortal crane.
When there is a chance to find the crane in the future, they will bring the crane to the same palace for exchange.
Knowing that the Empress Dowager valued the crane, the stewards of the Royal Garden naturally did not expect that much. They immediately took care of everything and went back to write books so that they could send the crane to the palace as soon as possible.
There is an industrial chain in the palace that brings things from outside, and those who deliver night incense barrels are also one of them.
In the past, the Royal Garden often sent some unwelcome animals out of the palace, so it was not impossible for them to bring things into the palace as long as the money was available.
Recently, everyone knew that the manager of the Royal Garden was in bad luck, so they didn't make it too difficult for him. They just charged a price that was nearly ten times higher than usual and took care of all these things clearly.
In the early morning, before the second watch, the steward of the Royal Garden came over to pick up the goods with great concern.
Who would have thought that as soon as he opened the night incense bucket, he would be deeply shocked. This crane was almost the same as the one that was lost in the Imperial Garden...
Since the crane was drugged, he was sleeping obediently in the bucket.
The steward didn't care about the dirty smell. He held the "Crane" in his arms and kissed him twice. Who would have thought that there would be a lot of white paint on his mouth.
The person who delivered the night incense bucket hurriedly delivered a letter to the steward, only to see that it turned out to be an important letter.
It said that the crane's feathers were dyed, and the crane's stomach was filled with medicine to make the crane's feathers white, and the steward was told not to let the crane get wet within three days, let alone feed the crane any watery food. .
We will make a decision after three days when the situation is more stable.
At the end of the letter, he added that it was best to let the crane "die" as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a risk of the secret being exposed.
The steward put the letter away and then personally carried the crane back.
At the same time, he also sent a message to Aunt Liu, saying that the crane in the Imperial Garden had been found.
It was not yet midnight, and Nanny Liu was waiting beside the Queen Mother's bed.
Nanny Liu also knew that the loss of the crane was a hurdle in the Queen Mother's heart, so after hearing that the crane was found, Nanny Liu raised her voice in surprise: "Found it!"
Then she covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She was too excited.
The Queen Mother had been in a daze all day long. When she heard the news that the crane had been found, the Queen Mother struggled to open her eyes and said to Aunt Liu beside her: "Eat, eat, eat..." She knew her physical condition. This crane couldn't be kept anymore, and she wanted to help her survive as soon as possible.
After hearing the Queen Mother's instructions, Nanny Liu hurriedly responded, then turned around and went to the imperial kitchen to make arrangements in person.
Hearing the second watch of the palace bell ringing outside the window, An Jingji tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Although his hands were full of blood in his previous life, today was the first time in his life that he killed someone, and it was someone who wanted to kill him.
An Jinghao didn't know what he had done to make this man murder him, and he couldn't figure out who sent the eunuch today.
After thinking about it over and over again, An Jingzhi found himself suffering from insomnia and couldn't fall asleep while turning over the pile of firewood.
Although the firewood was piled neatly, every time he turned over, the firewood branches underneath would make a creaking sound. The sound of turning over was accompanied by An Jinghao's occasional sighs.
Such noise seriously affected Jin Qing's sleep.
Thanks to An Jingba, Jin Qing fell asleep several times in a row, but was woken up by An Jingba.
Just when Jin Qing sat up and wanted to throw An Jingbao out who was making the noise.
An Jingzhen's pitiful plea came from the woodpile: "Min'er, can you sing a song for me?"
Jin Qing sneered: Let me sing for you, why don't you go to heaven!
Before Jin Qing could send An Jingbo to heaven, An Jingbo's voice came again: "When my mother-in-law was still alive, she would sing to coax me to sleep every night."
An Jing's voice had a thick nasal sound. He stared at the ceiling blankly, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, past his temples, and finally flowed into the pillow.
In fact, he lied. His mother-in-law never sang to him back then.
But when she was in the cold palace in her previous life, a concubine who was thrown into the cold palace was pregnant.
He still remembered that the concubine gave birth to a girl with difficulty in the cold palace, and then sang to the child to sleep every day.
It was only then that An Jingbo realized that not all children were handed over to wet nurses as soon as they were born. It turned out that there was still such a way of getting along between mothers and children.
An Jingyi envied the mother and daughter. He would often go outside their palace walls and eavesdrop. However, the girl's crying became louder and louder, while the mother's singing became more and more hoarse.
Until one day, the sound in the palace disappeared.
