The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Lu Qingqing rushed to the outside of the imperial tent, but was stopped by Eunuch He Qing just as she was about to step forward.

"Ming noble lady, please stay for a moment. The emperor is discussing matters with the ministers in the tent. Please wait for a moment."

Lu Qingqing was really anxious, so she had to beg.

"Eunuch He Qing, my sister Lu Panpan has been lost in the camp. It is really urgent. Please inform her for me."

Normally He Qing tried to appease Lu Qingqing many times, but since the emperor's order was above him, he dared not disobey it, so he had to think of other ways to help Lu Qingqing.

"Please forgive me, my lord. I dare not disobey the emperor's order and report to him."

"However, I was able to call on a few capable eunuchs to help look for your sister. This is my humble contribution."

Lu Qingqing thanked He Qing.

She understood He Qing's helplessness, and his willingness to allocate a few people to search was already a great help.

"Thank you, Eunuch He Qing!"

"My sister Lu Panpan is dressed as a palace maid. She wore a green satin-rimmed vest when she went out this morning. She looks about 50% like me, but her eyebrows are long and narrow, which is slightly different from mine."

He Qing conveyed Lu Panpan's appearance to several young eunuchs who were going to look for her, and quickly sent them to search for her in each tent based on her appearance.

However, the eunuchs who went to look for someone had not returned for a long time. Lu Qingqing was waiting outside the imperial tent, pacing around anxiously.

The inky night completely obscured the sunlight, leaving only a thin sickle moon in the sky, emitting a faint light.

However, laughter and chatter could be heard from time to time inside the imperial tent. Lu Qingqing listened carefully and it seemed that there was also a woman's voice.

If Lu Panpan is still not found after tonight, she will be alone in this huge camp and might be in great danger.

The original owner's biological sister was in danger, so Lu Qingqing didn't care about anything else. She just violated the palace rules. She took advantage of He Qing's inattention and directly opened the door and rushed into the imperial tent.

She thought that the first thing she would face was a rebuke from Li Xuansheng, but unexpectedly a figure came over and grabbed her and forced her to her knees.

"Who dares to break into the tent?"

The man's voice was full of energy, and his hands were very strong. He pinched Lu Qingdan's thin shoulders tightly, and she had to work hard to raise her head and look at him.

The man had a handsome face, and his wheat-colored skin reflected a beautiful luster under the candlelight. He was wearing armor and dressed like a general, which surprised Lu Qingqing.

But her gaze did not stay on that person for too long. Lu Qingqing saw a bright yellow figure through the gap in the man's armor, sitting upright on the dragon throne in the tent.

She hurriedly called for help in the direction of Li Xuansheng.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I am a concubine with a clear mind. I had to come to your tent because of an emergency!"

As soon as Li Xuansheng heard Lu Qingqing's name, he immediately jumped up from the dragon throne.

"My dear, please let go! You have caught the wrong person! You have caught the wrong person!"

The man's body then moved away from Lu Qingqing's sight, and the armor shining with cold light was finally no longer in her sight.

Lu Qingqing saw Li Xuansheng walking towards her eagerly, but what was even more strange was that Concubine Xian was also in the tent at this moment.

"Qingqing, are you okay?"

Li Xuansheng looked concerned and hurried forward to help Lu Qingqing up. She had just been pressed to her knees on the ground, and when she stood up, her dress was still stained with mud.

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I am fine."

Li Xuansheng did not blame her for breaking into the account.

Lu Qingqing took advantage of the moment when Li Xuansheng helped her up, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and quickly explained to him why she was there.

Before she knew it, beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, her brows were furrowed, and her voice began to tremble.

"Your Majesty, my sister is missing in the camp. Could you please help me look for her?"

Li Xuansheng gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his sleeve. As his fingertips stroked her delicate skin, he felt the heat caused by her impatience.

"Qingqing, don't worry. I will help you."

"General Liu is here, so I will order him to take his guards to look for your sister."

Lu Qingqing then realized that the man dressed as a general was actually Concubine Xian's brother Liu Huian.

I heard before that the court sent him to quell the rebellion of Japanese pirates. I guess General Liu has just returned from the court.

No wonder the virtuous concubine is also in the tent tonight!

Li Xuansheng was about to order General Liu to look for her, but was stopped by Concubine Xian with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to look for Miss Panpan."

"At this moment, Miss Panpan is in my tent."

what?

Lu Qingqing looked incredulous.

She had been looking for Lu Panpan for so long but couldn't find her. Unexpectedly, she had been staying in the Xianfei Palace all this time!

Li Xuansheng also looked puzzled, "What's going on?"

The virtuous concubine was neither hurried nor slow, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"So, Sister Lu doesn't know yet!"

"In the evening, Miss Panpan was almost mistaken for a spy by a team of guards and was taken away for interrogation. She happened to pass by my tent, and I stepped in to save her, thus avoiding this misunderstanding."

Lu Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief, her tense mood finally relaxing, but she couldn't help feeling a little awkward.

Lu Panpan had only been here for a few days, but she had already caused so many troubles and even owed Concubine Xian a favor.

So, even though she was unwilling in her heart, since it was Concubine Xian who rescued Panpan, she had no choice but to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Madam Concubine, for your help. I am grateful to you."

The virtuous concubine had a kind look on her face and gently held Lu Qingqing's arm as she was about to salute.

"It's just a small favor, there's no need to be so polite, Sister Lu."

"It's just that Miss Panpan is your own sister. You can't just take care of yourself on weekdays, you should also take care of her more!"

There was sarcasm in Concubine Xian's words. This was not the way she accepted thanks from others. She was clearly saying that she had not taken good care of Lu Panpan.

But because Li Xuansheng was present, Lu Qingqing had to put on a fake smile and deal with it perfunctorily.

"Thank you very much, Sister Xianfei, for reminding me. My sister is young and I will discipline her more in the future."

Since Lu Panpan has been found, Lu Qingqing has no reason to stay in the imperial tent.

She was about to bow to Li Xuansheng and leave, but unexpectedly Li Xuansheng took the lead.

He walked up to Lu Qingqing, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Okay Qingqing, since we have found the person, you can go back to your tent and rest. I still have something to discuss."

"You had your reasons for breaking into the account today, but this will not happen again!"

When Li Xuansheng taught Lu Qingqing a lesson, he looked like a doting parent who couldn't help but teach his child a lesson. Lu Qingqing nodded silently and then left the tent.

Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know whether she should be grateful to Li Xuansheng for not holding a grudge against her for trespassing into the imperial tent, or whether she should be angry that Lu Panpan had run away from home without saying a word and was hiding in Concubine Xian's tent.

But she still came to the tent of Concubine Xian.

As soon as she entered the tent, she happened to see Panpan and Yuzhu having a great conversation.

Seeing Lu Qingqing enter the tent, Lu Panpan's expression froze obviously, and she stopped talking to Yuzhu.

"Sister, why are you here?"
