Chapter 496: Catch it right
He Lin was also dual-minded when he listened to the play this afternoon, always paying attention to the movement outside, Qingyin Pavilion was not far from Wanshou Palace, if there was any emergency, it could also be detected here.
However, it has always been calm outside, and it is safe to come to Li Yu for the time being.
During the period, when He Linwan went to the clean room, he received a small note from Li Yu, which said that he was fine, and asked He Linwan not to worry, and after investigation, he had found clues to the hiding place of the token, and planned to act tonight in order to avoid a long night's dream.
He Linwan stared at the note for a while, thought about it, crumpled the note and threw it into the bucket, and then walked out of the clean room as if nothing happened.
After coming out of the clean room, He Linwan calmed down a lot, but thinking that Li Yu was going to act tonight, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
The queen's interest today is very good, after listening to the play, she also discussed the roles in the play with the show girls, and the show girls also actively participated in the discussion in order to please the queen, He Linwan did not participate because she didn't listen to it at all, but just pretended to smile and nod her head when others expressed their opinions.
After speaking, the queen turned her head and saw that He Linwan was listening carefully, so she asked her with a smile: "Which part do you like the most?"
He Linwan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers think that the martial arts play is not bad. ”
When He Linwan spoke, the queen's expression was a little dazed, and the other show girls looked at He Linwan a little strangely.
He Zhen anxiously tugged at He Linwan's sleeve on the side, and reminded her in a low voice: "Big sister, the drama we sang today is only literary opera, not martial arts!"
He Linwan reacted, and hurriedly stood up and asked the queen for her guilt, "The queen forgives me, in fact, I don't understand the drama very well, and I have been listening to it in a fog just now." ”
The queen laughed, waved her hand and said gently: "Everyone's hobbies are different, and it's not wrong to not like to listen to plays, so sit down." ”
He Linwan confessed again, and then sat down.
He Zhen looked at He Linwan and snickered, and He Linwan glared at her.
He Zhen stuck out her tongue and whispered, "This is not the first time I've seen my big sister make a mistake in public! ”
He Linwan ignored He Zhen, and after the queen returned to the palace after chatting, she also went back with everyone.
The day passed peacefully.
But as night fell, He Linwan's anxiety became more and more intense, and she was very worried about Li Yu.
It's fine if it's somewhere else, but this is the palace, if you make a mistake, you will lose everything, and there is no possibility of turning over.
In the end, He Linwan really had no way to convince herself to sit in the Wenzhen Hall and wait for the result, she thought, no matter whether Li Yu won or lost, she always had to watch it with her own eyes, and she was familiar with the secret passages in the palace, and she might be able to save Li Yu's life as a last resort.
She waited for Chunxiao to fall asleep, changed into the indigo blue clothes worn by the palace mother, and changed her hair accessories to the hairstyle that palace people often comb, and then took advantage of the night to go out through the window.
The deep palace at night was very cold and silent, and when He Lin left the door at night, the drum tower outside the palace was coming from the sound of the three watches hitting the bell, and the bells were dull and empty, and He Linwan's heart was beating straight when he heard it.
He Lin entered the secret passage of the Wenzhen Hall in a late manner, and finally came out of the dry well of an unknown small side hall not far from the Wanshou Palace.
In fact, there is a secret passage exit closer to the Wanshou Palace, but He Linwan still chose this slightly remote exit out of caution.
He Linwan hid in an alley behind the Wanshou Palace, paying attention to the movements of the Wanshou Palace from a distance, she didn't plan to rush in, she stayed here just to answer at the critical moment, if Li Yu's plan went well, she didn't even plan to show up.
The Wanshou Palace has been quiet, because there is no construction at night, and there are no lights, He Linwan doesn't know if Li Yu is already in it now, and whether the plan is still going well.
I don't know how long I stood there, He Linwan suddenly heard a few ciphers from the back door of the Wanshou Palace, which looked like cicadas, and He Linwan heard that this was a signal that the "dark lin" represented that the action was smooth and ready to evacuate.
He Linwan breathed a sigh of relief.
But before He Linwan could finish his breath, he saw several figures walking quietly towards the back door of the Wanshou Palace. Through the not-so-bright moonlight, He Linwan could clearly see that there were seven or eight people coming, and the one who was surrounded in the middle was Mu Zhizhen, who had only met once in the daytime.
Seeing that Mu Zhizhen and the people had quickly guarded the back door, I didn't know if there was an ambush at the front door, and Li Yu's people were still in the Wanshou Palace and had not come out, He Linwan subconsciously took half a step.
But before she could walk out of the alley, her wrist was firmly grasped by a hand.
He Linwan was startled, and when she turned around, she wanted to fight back, but after seeing clearly who the person who caught her was, she breathed a sigh of relief, and was obediently dragged into the depths of the alley by that person.
The fingers of the person who grabbed her were a little cold, and the strength of the hand was very strong, He Linwan felt that there would definitely be a circle of bruises on her wrist later, but she didn't break free.
The man dragged He Linwan to a hidden corner before letting go of her, turned around and mocked coldly: "Wasn't it very powerful at the beginning?
He Linwan sighed, looked at the familiar face in front of him and thought: I was indeed distracted just now and lowered my vigilance, but on the other hand, ...... That's an outsider, where do you have such a strong sense of vigilance against your family? Before the brain reacts, the body already recognizes you.
But he said: "Lord Ning, I haven't seen my kung fu for a few years, I guess I don't squat on weekdays, right?"
It can't be helped, bullying people is also out of physical instinct.
Ning Yi looked at He Linwan coldly, "The sharp teeth haven't changed. ”
At this time, there was a sound of breaking the door in the direction of the back door of the Wanshou Palace, He Linwan's face changed, and Mu Zhizhen's people moved.
However, without waiting for He Linwan to react, Ning Yi blocked He Linwan's way and raised his chin in the other direction, "Leave here immediately, I can treat it as if I haven't seen you tonight, and I should return your original favor." ”
He Linwan looked at Ning Yi and was about to leave obediently, but when Ning Yi relaxed her vigilance a little, she immediately turned around and squeezed past him and ran in the direction of Wanshou Palace.
Ning Yi seemed to be on guard, and quickly grabbed her back collar the moment He Linwan passed by him.
"Don't make me say it a third time, go back!"
He Linwan turned his head.
Ning Yi's expression was cold, and he didn't seem to have a trace of popularity, He Linwan's heart immediately softened, and he discussed with him in a good voice, "If I don't go in, I'll just stand from a distance and watch." ”
