Qin Su followed the small palace people and asked with a smile: "I don't know which palace His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going down to the Yuqiong Palace. The little palace man replied respectfully.

Qin Su let out an "um" and said no more.

Speaking of which, several small halls in the area of the Yulu Hall are all started with the word "jade", and the Yulu Hall can almost be called a building complex. In his previous life, Qin Su had also participated in at least four or five Shangshi Palace banquets, and he was quite familiar with this area.

After half the incense, the little palace man led Qin Su to the door of the Yuqiong Palace.

When she got here, she stopped, bowed and said, "Your Highness, this is it." ”

"Take Hongu inside. Qin Su said indifferently.

The little palace man answered, stepped forward and crossed the threshold, and introduced Qin Su into the courtyard.

The courtyard of the Yuqiong Hall is not big, in the middle is a hexagonal pavilion, the pavilion is hung with colored yarn around it, the palace lamp is lit, and there is a rui beast incense burner in the middle, burning the agarwood incense commonly used in the palace, I think it is specially set up to remove the smell of wine and other unknown smells.

Qin Su stopped slightly, looked around, but saw bursts of fragrant aroma coming from the beast's mouth of the bronze incense burner, and beyond that, there was a pleasant silence.

She looked further away, and saw that at the entrance of the main hall, there was a chamberlain wearing a dark green palace robe.

This person Qin Su knew, and it was the most useful eunuch by the prince's side, Han Zhong.

Although his rank is not as high as Xing Yourong and others, he is a person whom His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts very much, in his past and present lives.

As soon as he saw him, Qin Su's heart fell again.

At this time, Han Zhong had already seen Qin Su, and a trace of surprise crossed his face.

Her Royal Highness the princess suddenly came here, he thought that he was a little surprised, and he was slightly stunned before he hurriedly came over and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Qin Su raised his hand and ordered him to be flattened, and then said to the little palace who led the way: "You should also step down." ”

The little palace man answered yes and retreated.

Qin Su turned to Han Zhong again and asked with a smile: "I seemed a little uncomfortable when I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this palace before, so I came over to take a look." But I wonder what is happening to Your Highness now?"

Han Zhong immediately bowed and said, "Back to the princess, Your Highness is now cleaning her face in the palace. ”

It turned out that it was inconvenient to meet customers.

Qin Su nodded, but he didn't insist anymore, stood for a while, and then smiled and commanded in a harmonious voice: "Since this is the case, then you serve carefully, this palace is here to take a look, with Eunuch Han here, presumably His Highness must be fine." The main palace will go back first. ”

For Han Zhong, she is still relatively relieved.

This person is extremely loyal to the prince, in the previous life, the prince was imprisoned in Xiliang Palace by Emperor Zhongyuan for the crime of rebellion, Han Zhong was imprisoned, tortured in prison, and finally committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Until his death, he never said anything unfavorable to the prince.

With such a loyal servant standing here, Qin Su would not be too worried.

After listening to Qin Su's words, Han Zhong bowed down a few more points, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Princess Xie, send off Her Royal Highness Princess." ”

Qin Su smiled at him, helped Ah Li to turn around and walk back, and Han Zhong followed behind them step by step, until he sent Her Royal Highness the princess out of the courtyard gate, and then turned back.

At this moment, the crown prince Guo Yuanzhou was indeed resting in the dormitory of the Yuqiong Palace, and he actually heard all the conversations between Qin Su and Han Zhong.

It's just that today's drunken feeling came violently, although he drank the sobering soup, it had no effect, and at this time, he was even more disgusted and impetuous, and he couldn't muster up the energy to entertain others, so he didn't also beckon Qin Su in.

Hearing the footsteps outside, and then a familiar sound of footsteps gradually approached, Guo Yuanzhou knew that this was Han Zhong's return.

He lay on his back on the couch, bent his arm in front of him, blocking the light of the candle flame, closed his eyes and asked weakly, "The imperial sister is gone?"

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess is gone. Han Zhong replied in a low voice after he came in.

Guo Yuanzhou took a long breath and said self-deprecatingly: "It's okay, it's not a good thing for people to see me like this." I can be regarded as sparing the royal sister from a disaster. ”

There was no lack of helplessness in his voice, so he turned over on the couch, raised his hand to untie his belt, and asked, "Is there herbal tea?"

Han Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to serve him wide clothes, and the little eunuch next to him went to pour tea.

The tea in the teapot was half warm, and the little detective tried it, then took a white porcelain cup from the burden next to him, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Guo Yuanzhou by Han Zhong.

They brought their own teapots and teacups. In the palace, everything that should be eaten and tableware is only in the hands of a third person, this is the common sense of survival in the palace, and Han Zhong is fully prepared.

Guo Yuanzhou drank tea from Han Zhong's hand, and ordered: "Pour another cup, I'm very thirsty." ”

The little eunuch poured another cup of tea, and Han Zhong carefully persuaded on the side: "Your Highness should also drink less cold." The smell of wine is not dissipated, and drinking herbal tea will only accumulate wine in the heart, which is not good for the body. ”

"I know it. Guo Yuanzhou drank the tea in one gulp and wiped his lips with a brocade scarf.

At that moment, his plain face, which was always very diluted, seemed to contain a bit of indescribable melancholy: "I have to sober up early, so I can go back to the big color shed in front of me, in case my father looks for me, but I see that I am not there, I am afraid that my father will ...... again."

He stopped talking abruptly, and a deep sense of loss crossed his eyes.

Han Zhong lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

There was silence in the hall, which made people feel extremely depressed, and even the agarwood incense in the air seemed to be sluggish.

"Well, it's boring to say that. After a long time, Guo Yuanzhou finally sighed, stretched out his hand to loosen the neckline, and waved his hand to Han Zhong: "Tell someone to guard the palace gate, and I will lie down." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Han Zhong lowered his head in response, paused, and slowed down his voice again: "Ah He and Ah Qing are very clever, and with them listening to the news in the color shed, Your Highness can rest in peace." ”

Guo Yuanzhou pulled the corners of his mouth, lay on his back on the couch again, put his arms across his eyes, and said in a tired voice: "Yes, I know, if I don't leave the two of them, I won't dare to come here to rest." ”

When he said this, a laugh that seemed to sigh and mockery burst out of his throat, and said: "Jin Ling can run around the world with a large number of palace people, and no one will say half a word about her. Only we, the princes, have more than four servants in addition to the needs of the honor guard, which is overstepping. ”

There was no resentment or dissatisfaction in his tone, only deep helplessness.

Han Zhong couldn't help but sigh, the expression on his face became lonely, and he persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, rest for a long time, don't talk drunk again." ”
