The weather was a bit hot, and the tenth princess fell asleep holding the cat.
The screen window reflects the shadows of flowers, whirling in various shapes.
Lin Fufei fanned on the side, and the little breeze that came back and forth made people fall asleep even more.
Seeing that the tenth princess finally closed her eyes, she called a little palace maid over and asked her to take over her duties.
Before they could go out, they heard Hongzhu and a young eunuch whispering, "I have something to go out for. If anyone asks me, I'll be back in a while."
She stepped out with her front foot, and Lin Fufei followed with her back foot.
The reason why she did this was because when she was communicating with Xue Hengzhao a few days ago, Xue Hengzhao specifically reminded her to keep an eye on Hongzhu.
Lin Fufei certainly didn't want to believe that Hongzhu would betray Ma Cairen and the tenth princess. After all, she had served her master much longer than herself.
But she didn't doubt Xue Hengzhao's judgment, not to mention that she had really seen the sinister nature of people's hearts in the past few years since she had been in the palace.
At noon, there are very few pedestrians as usual.
Most of the masters took a rest, and the servants also tried their best to find quiet places to hide.
To be honest, they were not relaxed from morning to night when they were working in the palace. No one is ironclad, and it is human nature to be lazy appropriately.
Hongzhu kept walking along the shade of the wall, looking left and right from time to time.
Lin Fufei didn't dare to follow too close for fear of being noticed by her.
As we walked, we came to the vicinity of Ronghua Palace.
Hongzhu stopped in front of the east corner door. After looking in for a while, someone simply walked in.
Lin Fufei felt bad, so he hurriedly walked through the west corridor and walked in through a small door in the northeast corner.
There were many peonies and other plants planted in Ronghua Palace, and Lin Fufei carefully leaned over.
Then I heard Hongzhu talking to someone: "Eunuch Liu, I really have something to do with Sister Magpie. It's an important matter. Please pass on a message for me!"
"I told you, this is not the time to send a message." The eunuch was obviously unwilling to move, "Everyone is resting! I woke up many people with my movement. Aren't I just waiting to be scolded?"
"Eunuch Liu, just do good deeds! This is for you, don't take it lightly." Hong Zhu seemed to have stuffed something into the eunuch.
"You...sigh." The eunuch seemed extremely reluctant, but he still changed his tone, "But as agreed, I will pass the message on your behalf, and whether they come or not is not up to me."
If Hong Zhu had wanted to see the maid in front of the queen before, she wouldn't have had to put in so much effort.
But now Ma Cairen's status is too low. Even if the queen still looks at her differently, who among the people below doesn't have a wealthy heart and decent eyes? Why would you want to deal with them?
"Okay, all you need to do is send a message." Hongzhu was very grateful.
The eunuch turned around and left, leaving Hongzhu waiting alone.
Lin Fufei hid behind the bushes, really afraid that the magpies would come out and Hongzhu would tell her about the ten princesses.
So I thought that if that was really the case, I would jump out and interrupt him no matter what.
Hongzhu stood under the shade of the tree for a long time. The eunuch named Liu came back and said to Hongzhu: "Miss Hongzhu, what a coincidence, Miss Magpie is waiting in front of the Queen! We don't have such a big one." Please forgive me for having the guts to send a message in!"
Hongzhu couldn't help but said with disappointment: "In that case, forget it! I'll come back in the evening."
Said and went out.
Lin Fufei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and waited for the eunuch named Liu to leave as well before quietly walking out.
When she almost reached Fangcongyuan, she called Hongzhu from behind.
"Sister, what have you done?" Lin Fufei pretended not to know, stepped forward and took Hongzhu's hand.
"I'm going to check on Yu He. I heard she's been sick for the past two days." Hong Zhu made a random excuse.
Lin Fufei remembered that she had met Yu He in the morning, jumping up and down without looking sick, so she knew that Hong Zhu was lying.
But he didn’t directly expose her, he just said:
"Sister, you and Sister Yuhe are really close. I wonder what kind of disease Sister Yuhe has? I have some medicines there, which are all for treating summer heat." Lin Fufei said.
"She has a spleen and stomach disease, and none of your medicines are right." Hongzhu smiled and said, "She has nothing serious, she is just a little homesick. I talked to her for a while, and she felt better. .”
Then he asked Lin Fufei: "Why did you come out too? Is the princess asleep now?"
"The princess fell asleep. I don't know where Xuanxuan went. I went out to look for it in case the princess woke up and couldn't find it." Lin Fufei knew that every time the princess slept, she had to hold the black cat, but when she waited When the princess falls asleep, the cat must run out for a walk.
So when she said this, Hongzhu didn't doubt it at all. She was just a little annoyed that she went to Ronghua Palace to find someone at the wrong time. If she had known about it, she would have gone there at night.
When they arrived at the Tenth Princess, Lin Fufei said, "I just feel a little dizzy today. I want to go back and lie down to rest. I don't know if that's possible?"
Hongzhu didn't want her to be here, so she said generously: "Look at your little body, you can't stand it after not sleeping well for several days! You go and have a rest. I'm here with the princess, that's it." It’s just a matter of instructing them to do something. If anyone asks, I’ll tell you.”
"Sister, you are so kind. Then I will go and lie down for a while." Lin Fufei smiled and thanked, "If Xuanxuan really can't be found, there is no need to look for it. It will probably come back by itself by then."
"Okay, I understand, go ahead! Don't you still trust me? Take good care of yourself. The sun is still hot at this time, and people are especially susceptible to illness." Hongzhu said considerately.
Lin Fufei returned to his residence, lay down and rested for a while. I guessed that Ma Cairen should be up, so thinking that it wouldn't be too late, he got up and walked around in a circle, heading towards the main room.
Sure enough, Ma Cairen was sitting there drinking tea. When he saw him coming, he didn't say anything but gave him a look.
Lin Fufei understood and said, "I came here to ask my master if we are going to spend the night in front of the princess as two people or as one person?"
After Ma Cairen heard what she said, he said to the maid in front of him: "The weather has been getting cold in the morning and evening. You two go and find all my clothes. It seems that there are two boxes containing Qiong Ying's clothes. I’ll find it on the way and bask in it while the weather is nice.”
After sending everyone away, Ma Cairen asked Lin Fufei, "What's wrong? But what's going on with the princess?"
Lin Fufei knelt down and said, "Master, Sister Hongzhu went to the Queen's Palace today."
Ma Cairen became anxious upon hearing this: "What is she going to do? How do you know?"
"Master, don't worry. Sister Hongzhu went there to find the maid Magpie in front of the queen, but she didn't see her. Just in case, I followed her quietly along the way, so I know."
