Chapter 157 Ning'er has an accident
"Why did the emperor come at this time?" Yao Yulu asked doubtfully. With Li Qingxiao sitting at the table together, Li Qingxiao took her hand and did not let go. She looked at Yao Yulu with a smile on the corners of her lips. There was always a trace of worry between Li Qingxiao's eyebrows, which unfolded.
"I just want Yulu, and I feel very comfortable here." Li Qingxiao said, his eyes turned to the embroidery aside, got up and approached. The nearly completed Baishou map suddenly appeared in front of Li Qingxiao. He looked carefully at the Baishou map, and the needle and thread were not messy at all, as if it were from a person.
"Did you embroider it?" Li Qingxiao's eyes never left the Baishoutu and asked.
Yao Yulu also got up, stood in front of Li Qingxiao, and nodded, "My concubine's embroidery is rough. Don't stain the emperor's eyes."
"Haha, Yulu's embroidery is very good. How can it be rough? And such fineness can show how serious Yulu is." Li Qingxiao laughed brightly. The Empress Dowager has never liked the Yao sisters. The emperor also knows it, and Yao Yulu has not done anything about his mother's birthday. From this point, it can be seen that Yao Yulu is such a kind-hearted and virtuous person, Li Qingxiao's view of Yulu has changed even more. There are more, and there are more favors.
"Your Majesty, don't laugh at Yulu." Yao Yu showed her red face and lowered her head in shame.
Li Qingxiao was even more happy. He took Yao Yulu's hand and found that Yao Yulu's hand had already been tired of needle wounds, and Li Qingxiao was distressed for a while.
"My concubine is stupid and always gets it." Yao Yulu said with grievance, and then withdrew her hand.
"Yulu, you really have a heart." Li Qingxiao sighed and circled Yao Yulu in his arms. There was lightning and thunder outside, and it had already rained heavily.
Yao Yulu slept until midnight and always felt uneasy. Her head was full of Xu Yanning's sad face. She tossing and finally sat up. Li Qingxiao beside her slept fragrantly. She couldn't bear to disturb her and crept out of bed. It was still raining outside. The rain was very loud, but in her ears again That kind of restlessness.
She drank two cups of tea, and then felt a little sleepy in her heart. Then she lay down again**. In her sleep, she dreamed that Xu Yanning laughed and called her behind her, and Sister Yao called her...
"Little Lord, little Lord." Suddenly, an anxious knock on the door woke up Yao Yulu in her sleep. She got up directly, but the slightest uneasiness in her heart still did not decrease, or even worse.
She found that the emperor around her had left for a long time. Because it was still raining outside, Lv Fanxiao did not wake her up. It was still cloudy outside and rainy. With the sound of knocking on the door, her uneasiness gradually enlarged, and she always felt that something was going to happen.
Yao Yulu didn't wear shoes, but only wore a middle coat and got out of bed. Opening the door, Lv Panxiao stood at the door with a dusty face and looked at Yao Yulu.
Yao Yulu's heart thumped and took Lv Panxiao's arm tightly. "Bang Xiao, what happened?"
Lv Panxiao nodded and took a deep breath before he said, "Little Lord, Grandpa Qiu is seeking to see you in the outer hall."
Yao Yulu took a deep look at Lv Yuxiao and went out directly. Only then did Lv Yuxiao see that Yao Yulu didn't even wear shoes and pulled Yao Yulu.
"Little master, why aren't you wearing shoes? How cold is it now? You wait here for me to get the shoes. After saying that, Lv Pangxiao ran directly into the room and put her shoes on Yao Yulu's feet. By the way, Yao Yulu also put on her clothes. Yao Yulu didn't say a word, but let Lv Pang Xiao's face turn pale, and finally caught Lv Pang Xiao.
"Pang Xiao, tell me if it's Sister Ning..." Yao Yulu stopped talking. How could she forget that? That day, she told Grandpa Qiu to wait for Xu Yanning. Now it's raining outside. Grandpa Qiu asked for a meeting, which made her not think of a good place, and she had already felt uneasy since yesterday. At night, she dreamed of Xu Yanning. All this seemed It all implies that something has happened.
Lv Yuxiao did not reply, but dressed Yao Yulu with a blank face, and then stood aside. Yao Yulu took a deep look at Lv Panxiao standing aside. Why didn't she refute her? Why?
Yao Yulu quickly walked to the outer hall. Grandpa Qiu stood in the outer hall and looked at Yao Yulu. His clothes were soaked. Obviously, he stayed outside for a long time.
"Eunuch Qiu, what on earth are you looking for me for?" Yao Yulu asked anxiously, meditate in her heart, don't hear bad news in his mouth, never.
"Little Lord, it's about Xu Cairen..." Grandpa Qiu knelt down and said without a trace of warmth.
After hearing this, Yao Yulu directly stepped back two steps, and her face was even more white and scary. Then she leaned on a gentle body. Yao Yulu turned around and Wuer held her behind her.
She calmed down, but her trembling hands secretly revealed her current mood. It was not until Lv Pangxiao gave her a cup of hot tea that she poured it into it that she felt a little strength.
"What's wrong with Xu Cairen?"
"I heard Shui Lan, the maidservant who was waiting in Yuemei Palace this morning, that Xu Cairen went out before it rained, but he didn't come back all night." Qiu Gong took a deep look at Yao Yulu and said.
Yao Yulu only felt white in front of her eyes and fell directly backwards. Fortunately, Wuer and Lv Pangxiao both supported Yao Yulu, so they did not fall down. They put Yao Yulu on the chair. Yao Yulu only felt weak all over, and her eyes immediately drooped with tears, and a sadness poured into their hearts.
" Sister Xu, why is she missing? Have you looked for it carefully?" Yao Yulu asked.
"The slaves have looked for it at dawn, but they have not seen Xu Cairen." Qiu Gong said.
Tears in Yao Yulu's eyes fell down, and the uneasiness in her heart was magnified to the extreme. How could her poor sister Xu disappear? No, she keenly caught this point. Although Xu Yanning was usually naughty, it was so windy yesterday, and the weather was still gloomy. How could she go out? And he went out without a maid?
She calmed down and looked at Grandpa Qiu, who also looked up at her. This look seemed to imply something. Does Grandpa Qiu know anything? Her eyes tightened, and she looked at him for a moment before she opened her mouth for a long time.
"Wu'er, Ninger, I'm hungry. You can make some pastries." Yao Yulu spoke slowly.
Ninger Wuer looked at each other and then walked out of the outer hall. Yao Yulu slowly got up and stood in front of Grandpa Qiu, "Duke Qiu, please get up."
Grandpa Qiu just stood up, but he didn't dare to look directly at Yao Yulu, but half bowed his body and hung his head.
"Eunuch Qiu, have you been the head of this internal affairs office for less than half a year?" Yao Yulu slowly walked aside and stroked the blooming orchid beside her.
"Go back to the little master, I have indeed been a slave for half a year." Grandpa Qiu spoke word by word.
Yao Yulu smiled and said, "Then since Eunuch Qiu has been working hard in this palace for many years to climb up this position, it is really a pity if he accidentally loses it like the former father-in-law."
Aunt Qiu was silent for a while before he said, "I don't know what the little master's words mean."
"I don't know? So do you know what form is in the harem now? Yao Yulu asked sharply and slowly walked to Grandpa Qiu, "Duke Qiu, you are also a smart person, and I won't go around with you. I just want to know who did what happened last night, and where is Xu Cairen now?"
Eunuch Qiu raised his head, stared at Yao Yulu in front of him, lowered his head and said nothing, while Yao Yulu just sat aside, as if waiting for Eunuch Qiu's answer.
"Eunuch Qiu, I heard that the eunuch general manager has always been different from Eunuch Yu. The reason should be that the general manager of internal affairs is caused by the godfather Yu Gong's god son of Yu. I think Mr. Qiu must have suffered a lot of losses. If you use it for me today, the position of chief eunuch will definitely be yours in the future. ." Yao Yulu said seriously.
Gong Qiu looked up again, with a tangled look on his face, as if weighing something, and then there was a burst of silence.
Yao Yulu's heart was very anxious. She didn't know whether Xu Yanning was alive or dead now. Her face showed an impatient look, "Isn't Grandpa Qiu afraid that I don't have that ability?"
"I dare not." Eunuch Qiu replied quickly, and then was silent for a moment. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then said, "I don't know anything, but when Shuilan came yesterday, his face seemed to be very flustered, and his words flashed. I don't know if he knew anything..."
"Go to the Moon Rose Palace!" Yao Yulu couldn't wait for a long time and said hurriedly. Lv Pangxiao behind him took the umbrella and followed Yao Yulu closely.
The rain outside was very heavy, and Yao Yulu's heart was even more anxious and strode forward. Although Lv Pangxiao behind him was holding an umbrella, it was not as good as the rain. Yao Yulu's whole body was soaked as soon as she came out of the Starlight Palace.
