Children of Loulan

Chapter 74: Night Visit to the Pepper Palace

After Mifeti gently placed the soup on the table, she turned around and walked towards the palace maid. They walked side by side and slowly left the room.

At the door of the room, Mifiti turned her head to look at the maid beside her, her eyes revealing a trace of concern, and she spoke softly:

"Cai Ren may be in a bad mood today because he is not feeling well. Don't take it personally. Usually, Cai Ren is easy to get along with and quite reasonable."

The maid smiled and nodded in understanding. Then she bowed her head and replied modestly:

"Sister Mifeiti, I am just a little maid. It is natural for the concubine to be angry with me. Whether she is right or wrong, she is the master, and I am just a little maid. I know it in my heart, so you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to come to comfort me specially."

After saying these words, the palace maid once again cast a grateful look at Mifiti, who sighed and said:

"Hey, we are all the same. As slaves, our fate is controlled by our masters. No matter when and where, we just need to obey our masters. But then again, if our masters are unwell, it must be because we slaves have not done our best to serve them. Look at how Cairen is now. I'm afraid she will have trouble sleeping tonight!"

Palace maid: "The Lancai people have indeed eaten too much. If you want to digest the food, besides seeking the help of an imperial physician, you can only walk more to help digest the food."

After hearing this, Mifeti seemed to have just woken up from a dream, revealing a hint of joy:

"Yes, we can let Cairen go to the Imperial Garden to take a walk to digest the food, but..."

Halfway through the conversation, Mi Feiti's face suddenly changed and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the maid was puzzled and asked quickly: "But what?"

Mi Feiti frowned and continued worriedly, "It's just that we have just entered the palace and have not had time to get familiar with the environment. What should we do if we get lost in the Imperial Garden in the middle of the night?"

The maid said: "Sister, you can go find Madam Zhao. I heard that Madam Zhao is a very nice person and kind to everyone. If you find her, she will definitely help you."

Hearing her say this, Mifiti couldn't help but frown.

"Madam Zhao..."

She suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and slapped her head heavily.

Suddenly, Mifiti's eyes lit up, and he said with sudden realization:

"Oh, it's true. Look at my poor memory. I actually forgot about our main lady! She is a kind-hearted person. It must be right to ask Madam Zhao for help."

As he was speaking, a clear voice suddenly came from the bedroom: "Mifeti?"

Mifeti heard the voice and knew it was Dalan who was calling her. She didn't have time to say anything more, and quickly gave the maid a grateful look, then turned around without hesitation and strode into the bedroom.

After she entered, the maid did not stay for too long, but turned around and left with light steps. However, the maid did not know that at the moment she turned around and left, a pair of sharp eyes in the bedroom were always staring at her back.

After entering the bedroom, Mifeti walked straight to where the eyes were and bowed respectfully: "Catch someone!"

Dalan nodded slightly in response, and then said softly: "Well, then you go find Madam Zhao and tell her that I slept a lot today and just finished dinner. I want to walk around the Imperial Garden to digest the food. But since I am not familiar with the route, I hope Madam Zhao can send two palace maids to lead the way."

Hearing this, Mifiti couldn't help but frowned and asked worriedly:

"Cai Ren, aren't you worried that the person behind this palace maid is Madam Zhao? Isn't it too risky to do this?"

Yes, they had already seen through the strangeness of this palace maid. Although on the surface, this palace maid seemed ordinary and even a little stupid, but many subtle details showed that there must be someone behind her.

And they can't reveal anything about what they are going to do tonight.

Dalan smiled and said softly, "It's impossible. She could mention Madam Zhao's name so easily. This just proves that the person behind her is definitely not this person. Moreover, with Madam Zhao's intelligence and sharpness, how could she choose a fool to act as an insider?"

Mifiti thought about it and felt that what Dalan said made sense.

"Then I will go to Madam Zhao right away!"

After saying that, Mifiti turned and left. Not long after, a faint sound of footsteps came from far away. It turned out that she had arrived outside the door with two palace maids and was waiting quietly. At this moment, Dalan was also ready to go. She was wearing a large cloak and had a graceful figure. When she saw Mifiti's figure appear, Dalan said softly:

"It's quite chilly at night. You might as well put on a cloak to avoid getting cold."

Mi Feiti understood what was said and nodded to show that she understood. After she was dressed, she and two other maids accompanied Dalan out of the house.

Tonight the moonlight was like water, and the silver light filled the entire imperial garden, and there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere all around. Dalan and others walked slowly along the path in the garden, and after about a cup of tea, they came to the back of a rockery. Dalan stopped and panted slightly, saying:

"We've been walking for so long, and I'm a little tired. Sit down and rest for a while before we continue walking!"

Mifeti immediately stepped forward and put the hood of Darlan's cloak on her, saying:

"Lancai people, the wind is blowing, and I'm sweating a little. Put on your hat quickly to avoid catching a cold."

Mifiti spoke softly to the Lancai people.

Then, she turned to look at the two palace maids standing next to her and said in a very polite tone:

"I am a little tired and want to sit down and rest for a while. Please help me keep an eye on the surroundings. After all, I just came to the bed with you. If it is reported that I have eaten too much and need to come out to digest the food, it will probably cause criticism in the harem. People will say that I just came to the bed with you and I am trying to use my physical discomfort to win your favor."

After he finished speaking, Mi Feiti bowed to the two palace maids and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much, sisters!"

After the two palace maids walked a little further away from them, Mifeti slowly put on the hat on her cloak. Then she helped Lan Cairen to sit down slowly, and she also sat down beside them!

The Pepper Room was peaceful and quiet. Concubine Ru lazily leaned on the soft couch with her eyes slightly closed, enjoying the gentle hand massage from two palace maids. They carefully applied moisturizing cream on Concubine Ru's jade hands and gently kneaded them, trying to relieve her fatigue of the day.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the palace, and Wu Mei walked in with light steps. When Concubine Ru heard the voice, she slightly opened her eyes. After she found that it was Wu Mei, Wu Mei exchanged a meaningful look with her, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she had anticipated what was about to happen. She said softly:

"Okay, all of you go down first!"

The two palace maids stopped what they were doing and responded in unison:

"As you command, my lady!"

Afterwards, they quickly stood up, put the items on the table in order, and bowed and left. The whole process was silent, as if they were afraid to break the peaceful atmosphere.

After the palace maids left, Concubine Ru slowly stood up, took another sip of tea, then turned to look at Wu Mei and asked calmly:

"Is she here?"

Wu Mei nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty. Do you want to see her?"

There was a hint of inquiry in her words. After drinking her tea, Concubine Ru looked at Wu Mei and stretched out her hand. Wu Mei understood and immediately stepped forward to support her. The two walked out at the same time. As they walked, Concubine Ru said:

"Everyone who comes is a guest, let her in!"

Wu Mei stepped out only after Concubine Ru sat on the main seat in the main hall. Not long after, Wu Mei came in leading a young woman!

When the woman saw Concubine Ru, she immediately knelt down and saluted, saying respectfully:

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine!"
