All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

Chapter 87 Accompanying my cousin for a nap

Wang Huai was about to continue questioning Li'er when he suddenly heard the emperor roar.

"Get in here!"

He didn't care about Li'er, he trotted in, opened his eyes wide, and found that there was no one on the bed.

Li Ji stood motionless beside the bed, his eyes fierce and a cold aura emanating from his body, and glanced at him.

"What about people?"

The crime of deceiving the emperor.

Wang Huai fell to his knees and kept talking.

"Slave, slave doesn't know either."

Li'er hid by the door tremblingly, not daring to come in or go out.

Li Ji's gloomy gaze finally fell on her. He pointed at her, hooked his finger, and spoke in a calmer tone.

"Come in."

Li'er was so scared that her hands were shaking. She walked in holding the edge of her skirt and knelt down beside Wang Huai.

The two men knelt like this, as if they were worshipping in the hall, except that the person kneeling in front of them was "King of Hell".

"Where did Bu Ji go?"

"Tell me the truth."

Li Ji glanced at the inkstone that had not dried yet and the brush that had not been cleaned on the table, and a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

He has pardoned Liang Xing and allowed him to return to his original post.

What is she dissatisfied with?

He actually wrote to Liang Xing for a private meeting again!

Li Er saw that he could no longer hide it, so he kowtowed and spoke.

"I really don't know where the young lady went. She left in a hurry, and I tried to catch up with her, but I didn't catch up."

She really didn't know, she only knew that the young lady would go to meet Lord Liang.

Li'er had only been to this so-called old place once and he couldn't read, so naturally he didn't know it was called "Couple Xiangtan".

Li Ji waved his hand and grabbed a thick stack of Chinese paper on the table. He exerted force with his fingers and the paper instantly wrinkled and shrank into a ball.

Then he was thrown heavily to the ground.

Li Ji looked at the exquisite envelope on the table and was furious. She was really willing to use such an expensive envelope to write a letter to Liang Xing.

"Come here, seal the palace gates. No one is allowed to go out or enter the palace."

He threw his sleeves and walked away angrily.

Wang Huai stood up from the ground, glanced at Li Er, and seemed to want to say something. His cheeks twitched twice, but he didn't say anything in the end. He followed Li Ji and walked away.

Li'er turned pale and sat down on the ground, looking at the crumpled Chinese paper in the corner and burst into tears.

What should we do? If the palace gate is blocked, the young lady will really be unable to go out or come in.

The letter has been sent out. If Lord Liang hasn't seen the young lady, he will probably come to the door with the letter.

It was another disaster.

the other side.

City gate, dog hole.

Bu Ji didn't even go through the palace gate, but went around to the outermost wall of the Forbidden City, where there were several dog holes that she had seen before.

A big black dog came out from the weeds, with its short, slender ears erect and its hair smooth, and it barked at her.

Bu Ji took out a paper-wrapped meat bun from his sleeve and threw it three meters away. The black dog stared at the parabola. When the meat bun fell to the ground with a plop, the black dog aimed at the meat bun and rushed out.

Bu Ji spread her legs and ran towards the dog hole. She was thin enough that she could crawl through even with a brocade box in her arms.

She twisted her body and crawled out of the dog hole, shook off the dust on her body, looked around and saw no one, then ran towards the western suburbs with confidence.

As soon as she left, a group of guards wearing yellow jackets and carrying swords surrounded all the dog holes of all sizes in the Forbidden City. They made way for them and stood respectfully by the wall.

Li Ji was dressed in a dark blue uniform, with a jade pendant tied around his waist, a simple sachet with delicate workmanship, and a jade crown on his head. His kingly aura intimidated everyone.

He glanced at the dog holes around him with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

"Guard this place well."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guards answered in unison, with great vigor and energy, as if they were going to war.

These men in yellow jackets in the Forbidden City have all fought together with Li Ji on the frontier battlefields. None of them is just a bunch of idiots. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and can defeat a hundred enemies alone.

They all thought that an assassin had entered the palace, or that there was a spy from some enemy country.

Li Ji turned around and caught a glimpse of a black dog not far away. The black dog lowered its head and was eating a big meat bun on the ground with relish. There was a piece of oil paper underneath the meat bun.

The palace servants never fed dogs like this. They had a special broken bowl and just threw the food into it. No one would specially put a piece of oil paper under it.

He curled his lips, and was clearly smiling, but his eyes were frighteningly cold, as if he was about to start a killing spree in the next second.

Wang Huai came over, sweating profusely from busy work, and reported back.

"Your Majesty, every palace gate and dog hole has been guarded. Not even a bird can get out."

Li Ji responded and said casually.

"Let's all withdraw."

Wang Huai looked at the emperor in shock and asked stutteringly.

"Then, are you still looking for Noble Bu?"

It was the emperor who wanted to seal the palace gates and the dog hole, and it was also the emperor who wanted to withdraw all the guards. He was a little confused about the emperor's thoughts.

"I will go find her myself."

"Tell them not to follow."

Li Ji strode towards the bedroom. When he came out, he had changed his clothes. He was wearing a crescent-white brocade robe. The jade pendant on his waist was also changed in style. It was a round jadeite engraved with cloud patterns, and it was crystal clear and green.

He left from the rooftop without being seen.

Wang Huai stood at the door for a long time and heard no movement from inside. When he went in to check, the emperor had disappeared.

Oh no, now two people are missing from the palace.

He was terrified that the Queen Mother would find out about this.

However, the Queen Mother has been out less often these days, probably because she has Miss Yongning and Princess Fuqiu to keep her company, and life is more interesting.

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Just as Wang Huai was thinking about this, he looked up and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

She was wrapped in a light pink gown with a white gauze dress on the outside. The folds of her skirt were like the light of snow and moonlight flowing on the ground. It was more than three feet long, making her gait even more graceful and beautiful. Her three thousand black hair was tied up with a hairband and a butterfly hairpin was inserted in her hair, with a strand of black hair hanging down in front of her chest.

The red lips on her cheeks were faintly visible, and she looked like a butterfly flying in the wind.

Princess Fuqiu, as her name suggests, is like a blooming lotus.

"I greet the princess, may the princess be safe and sound."

Wang Huai bowed respectfully towards her.

Fuqiu waved at him with a smile on her face. She lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and was about to step over the threshold to go in and find her cousin.

Wang Huai stopped her and said in a pretentious manner.

"Oh, Princess, you came at an inopportune time. The Emperor has just gone to bed."

Fuqiu took a step back, frowned, raised her pretty face to look at the sun, and spoke in a soft and sweet voice.

"It's not time for cousin to take a nap yet. Is cousin feeling unwell today?"

Wang Huai looked at the innocent face of the princess and couldn't bear to lie to her, but he was also afraid that she was in cahoots with the queen dowager, so he changed the subject.

"Why don't you go to the side hall and wait there first? When the emperor wakes up, I will call you right away."

Fuqiu's lively eyes rolled and she said with her hands on her hips.

"I can just go in and accompany my cousin for a nap. Why do I have to wait in the side hall? This is what we did when we were kids in the East Palace."
