Returning to the courtyard where Yunxi was from the other side of the palace, the sky was about to get brighter, because Lu Tao had spent a lot of time bypassing the area where there might be guards, and bypassing the location where he saw the second prince Hongxi last night.

The spiritual power in his body was still unusable, and Lu Tao was also careful when he passed through the roof, but he still accidentally made a noise, but the result was good, most of those buildings were empty, and no one found that there was an extra gentleman here.

It wasn't until he entered the patio that Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, he cautiously returned to the outside compartment, lifted the list above and prepared to lie down and pretend to sleep.

"Where did you go last night?"

The sudden voice startled Lu Tao, and when he turned around, it was Yunxi with a dignified face.

Lu Tao: "......"

How should this be explained? Lu Tao hesitated, he didn't want to deceive Yunxi, nor did he want to say too much, and it didn't mean anything to know too much for Yunxi.

"I woke up before dawn, and I was going to take you out the back door, but I couldn't find you anywhere, and I ......" Yunxi wanted to speak again, but after thinking about it, he still said: "And there are strange sounds coming from the north, where did you go?"

North?

Lu Tao recalled and reacted, wasn't that the direction where the second prince was when he passed by last night?

Thinking of this, Lu Tao replied: "That's the second prince, the second prince seems to be digging something here, maybe looking for an entrance somewhere." ”

Yunxi blinked: "So, in fact, you also want to find some entrance to the palace, and you did this last night?"

Lu Tao hesitated, but nodded, he was indeed here to do this, as long as he found the crown in Fang Tianhua's mouth, his task would be completed.

"But ......" Yunxi looked at Lu Tao again: "In this way, is the price too great?"

"The price?what price?!"

Lu Tao was puzzled, he followed Yunxi's gaze and looked down, and then finally understood.

Lu Tao: "...... Well, you don't have to say it! it's all worth it!"

Forget it, Lu Tao is really too lazy to make extraneous branches, he could have stayed with Peony, and when he came back to Yunxi, there was one purpose, that is, to find a way to bring Yunxi and Xiaorou out of the current dangerous situation, what method to use Lu Tao didn't think about it for the time being, but this did not delay him from continuing to return here to avoid possible dangers and hooligans, and anyway, to explore the secret road must wait until night, staying there is the same for Lu Tao.

Thinking of this, Lu Tao suddenly had a question.

Why do you have to wait until night to explore the secret passages?

Shaking his head, Lu Tao didn't plan to go again now, the spiritual power in his body was still as stagnant as cement, and there was no way to drive any spells, whether it was stealth or other spells, there was no way to use them.

Glancing at Yunxi with a look of pity, Lu Tao planned to change the subject, so he continued to speak: "Yunxi, do you want to leave the palace?"

"Leaving the palace?"

Sure enough, Yunxi's attention was immediately diverted to another direction by Lu Tao's words, and she looked at Lu Tao fixedly: "What does it mean to leave the palace?"

That's what it means literally. Lu Tao replied: "I'm afraid you also understand that as long as you stay in the palace, you will always be in a dangerous situation, whether it is the emperor or those princes, they all covet you very much, and this coveting will become more and more intense, becoming more and more serious, at that time, even if Yunxi wants to escape, I am afraid there is no chance." ”

"After all, ......" After a pause, Lu Tao continued: "After all, the power that the emperor has in this palace is really too amazing. ”

Yunxi nodded, and then fell silent, she no longer stared at Lu Tao's eyes, but looked away her gaze, looking at the stone slab under her feet and stunned.

After a while, Yunxi said: "I can't go, if I leave, my family will usher in a catastrophe, and the emperor will not let our family go, whether it is for the royal face or something else." ”

Lu Tao was also silent, he also knew this, before asking Yunxi this question, Lu Tao knew that if Yunxi couldn't let go of her family, then she wouldn't leave anything, Lu Tao didn't have any good feelings for the family that pushed Yunxi into the fire pit, but this is the case, as long as Yunxi's family lives in the boundary of Wuyang, they will definitely be affected by the royal family, unless they ......

Lu Tao's eyes lit up, and he continued to speak: "Yunxi, have you ever thought about moving to other cities with your family? For example, Wenyang Mansion, which is far away from the imperial city, as long as you leave the sphere of influence of the imperial family, won't everything be solved?"

Yunxi hesitated: "Move to another place?...... I don't know, maybe my father won't say yes......"

"It's his business to say yes or no, you just need to open your mouth and say the suggestion. Lu Tao felt that this idea might be good: "When you say it, you can tell your father the truth as much as possible, and put you in the palace in an embarrassing situation!"

"Hmmm......"

Yunxi's expression changed a few times, and finally agreed.

"Miss......" Xiao Rou's voice sounded from behind Yunxi, Lu Tao crossed Yunxi's shoulder, and saw Xiao Rou, who had her hair down, yawning and walking out of the back room, she glanced at Lu Tao: "You guys got up really early...... Ha...... It's so sleepy......"

"If you're sleepy, go back to sleep. Yunxi showed a doting smile, stretched out his hand and touched Xiaorou's head: "I woke up when I couldn't sleep, you don't have to get up so early like me." ”

"No!" was touched by Yunxi, Xiao Rou immediately became energetic: "Even he is awake, how can I still sleep there?" Miss, I'll go get you washing water and come back immediately." ”

As she spoke, Xiao Rou ran away with her uncombed hair.

Lu Tao was about to say that he was going to help, but the footsteps sounded from the other side, who could it be so early? Lu Tao couldn't use the stealth technique to hide, so he had to try it in Yunxi and walked behind her.

Yunxi whispered: "It's impossible for the emperor to come so early, you just need to keep your head down and follow me, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Lu Tao nodded, lowered his head and followed behind Yunxi, quietly waiting for the visitor to approach.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Yunxi was blessed and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

"No need to be polite, I came to follow my father's instructions and bring the useful eunuchs and palace maids to you. As he spoke, the second prince stretched out his hand and pointed at the people who followed him: "These are the palace maids and eunuchs promised by the father, and you need to assign what you want to do." ”

Lu Tao lowered his head, and felt that the eyes of the second prince swept to this side, but he didn't seem to intend to ask about his identity, Lu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Yunxi say again: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, and Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Other than that. The second prince continued: "I am still in charge of the defense work for the time being, if you want to go out, you can let me know in advance, and I will arrange for the guards to protect you." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I want to ......" Yunxi hesitated: "I want to go home and take a look, I have been in the palace for more than three months, and I miss my family a little, I wonder if you can tell Your Majesty this request?"

"Of course, so, is there anything else?"

"Nope. Yunxi shook her head.

"So be it, I'll inform my father of your request, and if there's any new news, I'll tell you. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince. Yunxi bowed and thanked him.

After speaking, the second prince turned around and left the patio, leaving the remaining palace maids and eunuchs.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Lu Tao, and began to arrange those palace maids and eunuchs, while Lu Tao turned back to the inner room, waiting for Yunxi to finish the matter at hand.

After a while, Xiao Rou came back first, she carried a wooden bucket and walked into the room leisurely, Lu Tao took the bucket and put it aside, took two breaths, and then asked, "Miss? I seem to have seen eunuchs and palace maids I don't know?"

Lu Tao explained the origin of these eunuchs and palace maids, and Xiao Rou couldn't help clapping her hands and cheering: "Wow! That's really good! Someone finally helped with the work!"

"You didn't do anything, did you?" Lu Tao couldn't help blurting out.

"Hmph, what do you mean I didn't do anything?" Xiao Rou looked at Lu Tao angrily: "I've done a lot of things, okay?"

As she spoke, Xiao Rou opened her hand again and counted with her fingers: "First of all, we have to prepare all kinds of toiletries for our young lady, we need to fetch water, and ah, we have to comb our young lady's hair, dress our young lady, and ...... And ......"

Xiao Rou sluggished when she pulled her third finger, as if she suddenly couldn't remember what she had done.

Yunxi's voice sounded behind Xiao Rou: "Also, you can accompany me when I'm unhappy, and be happy with me when I'm happy." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Xiao Rou nodded hurriedly, and then suddenly turned her head happily as if she had reacted to something: "Miss!

"It's just to arrange some of the work of those subordinates, and then I left for a while. Yunxi rubbed Xiaorou's head: "Come on, help me comb my hair." ”

"Yes, miss!"

Xiao Rou seemed to be very happy, and took out a somewhat transparent horn comb from the dresser on the side, and began to carefully comb her young lady's hair.
