Chapter 488 Common Goal
When she woke up, Song Nan turned over and sat up, but saw the dazzling sunlight shining directly into the room, but the room was empty. Princess Ping An and the beautiful maidservant Qingluan were not in the room. Song Nan quickly woke up Wang Yong, who was snoring around him. Wang Yong got up and found that there were only himself and Song Nan left in the room, and his face changed greatly.
"Your Excellency, where has the servant of Princess Ping'an gone? Well, we have lost a hostage on hand. It's all my fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have slept."
Song Nan frowned and said, "Are you still thinking of taking her master and servant hostage? From now on, don't say anything like this. We have to leave the royal palace, but we have to rely on the help of Princess Ping'an, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to insert our wings in the royal palace.
Wang Yong was stunned and whispered, "Your Excellency, do you really believe that the princess will help us get out?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "Of course I believe her."
Wang Yong said, "But after all, they are from the royal palace. How can you trust her?"
Song Nan shook her head and said, "The king of Anhua occupied the magpie's nest, and the king of Qing and Princess Ping'an fell into a shelter. This princess of peace is not simple. How can she be willing to celebrate the king's mansion to be occupied by the king of Anhua? Didn't you see last night that even a deputy commander of the district guard dared to disrespect them. Their current situation in the royal palace can be seen. Let's investigate the assassination of the king of Anhua's Jinyiwei. This princess of peace should be very important.
Wang Yong thought for a moment and nodded and said, "That's also true, but the humble position always feels a little uneasy. After all, King Anhua and the people in King Qing's mansion are blood relatives, and they both have the surnamed Zhu. The humble position thinks that they will not help outsiders."
Song Nan smiled and said, "This is a matter of course. Even if you are a blood relative, if there is no room to live, how can you worry about these? You are afraid that they will break in with the royal guards. Don't worry, it will never happen.
Wang Yong rolled his eyes and no longer hesitated. Soon after, his footsteps sounded and the door was pushed open. Song Nan and Wang Yong hurriedly hid behind the bed, but they saw the beautiful maidservant Qingluan coming in. Qingluan glanced at the floor in the corner and found that there was no one on the floor. He stared around and shouted softly, "Mr. Song? Are you there?"
Song Nan appeared and said, "Miss Qingluan, we are here."
Qingluan breathed a breath, smiled and said, "I'm scared to death, and you ran away."
Song Nan said, "Where can we go? I'm afraid it's still being searched outside."
Qingluan nodded and said, "Last night's search has not stopped for a moment. The flowers and plants in the corner have been searched, and the whole house has been dispatched.
Song Nan and Wang Yong looked at each other and secretly smacked their tongues. When the house was in turmoil, the two could stay safely in the princess's boudoir, which was God's blessing.
"I'm going to fg water to wash the two of you. There is some heart rice porridge on the table, which is warmed by fire. The two adults will eat something after washing."
Song Nan bowed his hand and thanked him. Qingluan turned around and went out. After a while, he brought a large pot of water to let Song Nan and Wang Yong wash his face. The two of them rinsed their mouths and cleaned themselves. When they came to the table, Qingluan had already lifted the rice mask. A small pot of rice porridge and a few dishes of hearts were simmering on the small stove, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Song Nan and Wang Yong were already hungry and stricken. At present, the two of them ate wildly. A moment later, a pot of rice porridge and several dishes and snacks fell into their stomach. Qingluan opened her mouth in surprise. She had never seen anyone with such a big appetite in her life. She and the princess usually only had half a bowl of rice porridge or fresh soup, a small A piece of dessert is enough, and the two of them have eaten for two days.
"I'm really hungry. It's a little ugly to eat. Don't blame Qingluan." Song Nan wiped her mouth and smiled.
Qingluan covered his mouth and sneered, "I can really eat, drink and sleep. You can also eat such a big thing. The princess didn't eat the second half bowl in the morning."
Song Nan asked with a smile, "Has the princess gone out? It's not going to call the guards to arrest us, is it?"
Qingluan curled her lips and said, "The princess is fattening the plum trees in the yard. The plum blossoms in the yard are blooming very well and should have been fattening a few days earlier. The princess said that when the plum blossoms bloom, they consume the vitality of the flowers and trees the most. If you don't fatten them at this time, they won't bloom well next year."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "Your princess is also calm. There are two thieves hidden in the room, and she is still in the mood to serve the flowers and trees."
Qingluan smiled and said, "I don't know who snored like thunder last night. The princess didn't sleep at all. She stayed in the room and was noisy, so she had to go outside to be clean."
Wang Yong scratched his head shyly and said, "I'm snoring. I'm really sorry."
Qingluan said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not a big deal that people can't sleep. It's just that if it's heard by the women outside and detect someone in the room, it's really troublesome."
Wang Yong squeaked his lips and said, "If I had known, I would not have slept. I would have closed my eyes again tonight."
While talking, there was a sound from the door, and the voice deliberately raised by Princess Ping An came: "You all go. I want to sleep for a while. Don't come in and disturb me. No one is allowed to walk around and talk on the third floor."
Several maids and women agreed to go downstairs in a low voice. Qingluan quickly got up and opened the door to welcome Princess Ping'an in. Princess Ping'an was wearing a thin coat, a red cloak, a hood, a light crimson on her white face, and a slight sweat oozed from the bridge of her nose.
Seeing Song Nan and Wang Yong staring at themselves, Princess Ping's face turned red and said, "Mr. Song got up? Did you sleep well?"
Song Nan arched his hand and said, "It's quite comfortable, but Brother Wang snored like thunder, and the princess couldn't sleep all night. I'm really sorry."
Princes Ping'an laughed and said, "Yes, the snoring is like thunder. I'm worried that the whole building can be heard and let Qingluan plug the cracks in the doors and windows with a towel; Lord Wang's snoring is so loud that the family doesn't know how to fall asleep."
Wang Yong scratched his head and said shyly, "To be honest, my family kicked me out of the room many times for this matter. There was a special mask at home. When I slept, I covered my head and face, and my voice was much lower."
Song Nan was the first time to hear that there was such a thing in Wang Yong's family. He looked at Wang Yong in surprise, but Princess Ping An and Qingluan had already covered their mouths.
Qingluan removed the cloak for Princess Ping'an, took a towel to let the princess gently touch the sweat on her face, and remake up with Song Nan and Wang Yong on her back. Then she came to the table and sat down.
"Lord Song, please come and sit down." Princess Ping'an greeted.
Although they were in the same room, Song Nan and Wang Yong also realized that when they were busy, Song Nan and Wang Yong stood outside the window with their backs and dared not look back. At this moment, listening to the princess's greeting, Song Nan turned around and came back and sat down, and Qingluan offered a cup of hot tea.
"The house is still searching for the deeds of the two of you. It seems that there is no chance to send you out today. Uncle and Prince took someone out of the house in the morning, and I don't know what to do, but the more this time, the more I can't take the risk of sending you out. You should understand the reason."
Song Nan nodded to show his understanding, but the anxiety between his eyebrows was overflowing with words.
"Lord Song, don't worry. Today is the 14th day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Tomorrow I will go out of the city God Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. Maybe I can take the opportunity to take you out of the house. If there is no chance during the day tomorrow, there will be lanterns in the city tomorrow night. This is still an opportunity. Two opportunities can always be once. Please take Lord Song here patiently for two days.
Song Nan arched her hand and said, "Thank you very much for your help, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. It's actually good to stay here, but what I'm worried about is the outside. I won't go back to the snow tower for a few days. The people under my subordinates are worried, not to mention that in case King Anhua suspects me, or an official visits him, won't this all of this? That's what I'm most worried about."
Princess Ping'an heard Song Nan say that: It's good to stay here, and her face can't help blushing, but after listening to Song Nan's words, she immediately became serious and frowned and said, "I didn't expect that this is indeed a problem. You are a big shot. Officials in Ningxia Town may visit you if they have nothing to do. If you don't show up, even if you don't suspect you, you will be suspicious.
Song Nan said, "So, in any case, I have to send the news that I fell into the royal palace for a while and send it back to Guanxue Tower to teach them how to deal with it."
Princess Ping An thought, "How to deal with it?"
Song Nan said, "I have considered how to deal with it, but I can't send the news. I will write a few words. If it can be delivered to Lord Yang of Guanxuelou, it will be easy to do."
Princes Ping'an said, "It's easy to do. Just let Qingluan go there for you. Just go to the street to buy gouache and rouge for me."
Song Nan shook his head and said, "Yes, but I'm worried about whether Miss Qingluan can get rid of the stalking and smoothly enter the Guanxue Building. If Miss Qingluan appears directly, I'm afraid that she will immediately cause suspicion and directly suspect the princess. Isn't it even worse then?"
Princess Ping'an frowned and nodded, "This worry is not superfluous. That day, Qingluan went to get Yaoqin for me, and my uncle and prince asked about this matter. Obviously, there were also secret agents near the Guanxue Building."
Song Nan smiled and said, "That's natural. I'm afraid that several Uigu servants in the building are the eyeliner placed by the prince around us."
"The Uegu housekeeper? When the slave family lived in the Guanxue Tower, none of the servants they served were Uegians, and it seemed that all the people had changed.
Song Nan said, "It's not difficult to understand. We have been prepared for a long time and sent people to keep an eye on them; the question is how this news can be transmitted back to the Guanxue Building."
Boone were silent and couldn't think of any good way for a moment.
Qingluan, who stood aside, suddenly said, "Princess, why don't you take the risk of sending Lord Wang out of the house? Didn't Lord Wang return to Guanxuelou to report that everything?"
Princess Ping'an said sideways, "How can I send him out? If it can be sent out of the house, won't it be better to send Lord Song out of the house together?
Qing Luan said hurriedly, "Isn't this the fourteenth day of the first lunar month? In the morning, there should be a picker who brought vegetables. I remember that the figure of the picker who brought vegetables into the house was very similar to Lord Wang, and he was also very short and strong. The maid was wondering if he could let Lord Wang pretend to be the picky man and get out of the house. Didn't that solve everything?
Princess Ping'an's eyes lit up and looked at Song Nan; Song Nan said, "Is there only one husband?"
"Yes, every four months, there will be pickers who deliver vegetables to the house. There are pickers who deliver vegetables in each kitchen. They are all famous, and the guards will also check their identities. Lord Song's figure may be difficult to impersonate, but Lord Wang can definitely impersonate. If you add a little more change in appearance, they are all black faces and messy beards, but in fact, they don't look much worse.
Song Nan patted his thigh and said, "Okay, then take a risk. Brother, you can go out and report it.
Wang Yong quickly waved his hand and said, "How can it be? How can I leave the adults and go out by myself? Am I still a human being?"
Song Nan smiled and said, "I have a princess here to take care of me. I don't know how stable it is. What else are you worried about? Even if you can't get out, you will be fine if you stay here for a year and a half. You have to go out and report it, which is very important. If someone recognizes that I'm not in the snow building, it's terrible.
Wang Yong said helplessly, "But your excellency, if you are alone in the royal palace, in case of any leakage, you will not be redeemed for your humble position."
Song Nan said, "Do I seem to have an accident? Besides, do you have any way to protect me from rushing out? Don't worry about going on a job. This matter is very important. You should be careful when you leave the house and don't show your feet.
Wang Yong also knows that what Song Nan said is true, and it is useless for him to stay here. If he has a chance to sneak out, he can make some arrangements outside to avoid the collapse of the royal palace. Adults can always get away with the help of the princess.
