Chapter 374: You Can't Hide It
I stood in the corner and looked down in thought, there wasn't even a single person I could use here in the mansion at the moment!
In all accounts, only the Dark Guard, who had met me a few times and helped me deliver the map before dawn, could help. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, it was daytime, and he said goodbye to me and left the house.
For now, I'm guessing at his pace...... Maybe you've left the town and headed for the mountains.
With the efficiency of the dark guard, it is completely possible!
Before leaving, he revealed a message from a conversation with me in the woods, which meant that this mission was inevitable.
Since someone has been led into the trap, it means that they cannot get out of it by their own strength.
In this case, you have to rely on external forces and someone to help.
I guess the Dark Guard was the one sent to do this.
I don't know who will be trapped at this time!
I knew very well in my heart that I was able to come to the big kitchen this time, which was a chance to come by chance.
The yard we stayed in was just too remote.
The flower garden closest to us was opened directly by ourselves, so Yuan Xiu and her grandfather didn't need someone from the big kitchen to deliver food or go to get it by themselves.
They just started the stove in the flower garden by themselves, and they were responsible for all three meals.
As for the three of us, me, Master Wan, and Ah Rong, on the premise of temporarily staying in the house for a few days, why did the female official agree to let us start a gang?
It was actually a bit of a surprise for us.
It's hard to say that it's hard to do anything under the big kitchen steward, but there's a good thing about it, because I at least know what's going on outside the small courtyard and see a different side of the place.
Because this is the busiest time of the day, not many people who come and go can notice me.
They also don't care much about temporary helpers who walk in inconspicuous clothes, keep their heads down, and try to reduce their presence.
It occurred to me that there was someone else here who could help.
That is Ah Rong who waits under the tree by the bridge.
I hesitated, knowing that if I made it clear to him...... In this way, I am afraid that he will have more questions about me in his heart!
A lie needs another lie to complete.
I stood in the corner of the wall in embarrassment, and it didn't take me much time to think of several ways to do it.
When it came to the end, I was a little hesitant to try it.
Time waits for no one.
If I hesitate, I'm afraid I won't have any chance if I continue to procrastinate.
...... My gaze swept over the courtyard, taking in the topography.
I wanted to look for an opportunity to renew where I could go.
There was a sound of footsteps on the side of the road, and it was two handymen who were in a hurry to see their whereabouts.
Looking at their appearance, they are familiar with the way they come, and they should be walking around the house frequently.
One of them glanced at the other companion and said, "The charcoal that was newly delivered today has not been delivered to the attic where the National Teacher lives?" ”
"I'll go in a while, don't worry," my companion explained to him after listening, "I saw it when I went to deliver it last time, and there is still a lot of charcoal over there!" ”
The handyman stared at his companion and muttered, "This matter cannot be delayed. ”
He said in a worried tone, "You know...... At that time, if Your Majesty blames him, the two of us can't afford it! ”
The companion whispered, "You don't know, there are so few people in the backyard that place, every time I walk over, I feel worried." ”
The handyman was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything to refute it, it seems that in the courtyard, the concept of forbidden land in the backyard is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
I turned around, and the two of them passed not far away, not noticing me standing in the corner.
I thought back to what they had said, and I couldn't help but frown.
This situation is the same as the Penglai Pavilion of the Sealand Palace in my memory.
The place where Yun Chu stays has always been inaccessible to idlers, and the empress is the biggest shield or obstacle, blocking all the people who are superfluous!
I took a deep breath and was a little dazed for a moment.
If it's like the big kitchen, where people come and go, it's not impossible to find a chance to slip through.
The problem is that the area near the lake in the backyard is not as cold as here, and it is even more deserted than in the palace.
Walking through, as soon as you reach the range of the curved bridge, I am afraid that someone will come to stop you, and those guards are in the open and in the dark.
If I entered the attic, I would face Mo Yan beside Yun Chu, and as long as I thought of the scene of contact with that person, I felt speechless.
His hostility towards me was too obvious to hide.
I don't want to take this risk, this is the place for the empress!
...... I haven't thought of a specific method for the time being, but I think I have to think again...... Remind yourself that you must calm down, and you should be able to find your chance.
Soon, my eyes lit up and my attention was instantly grabbed!
Because the two of them were together to discuss things before, and walked out of the small courtyard.
They hurried towards a room carved out on the east side.
I knew what to expect, and quietly followed them.
Somehow, as I passed through the courtyard, I suddenly had a strange feeling, and the afterglow passed over the big tree beside me.
At that moment just now, there seemed to be a figure flashing.
At this time, it can't always be...... I put aside my doubts, and my heart is probably dazzling to me!
The empress's mansion, doesn't it mean that there is only that secret guard?
The Realm Guards of the Great Kitchen don't have to come, and this is not the surrounding area of the Empress's activities.
It's almost dawn, and there are only a lot more people coming and going.
I put aside the things that were tangled in my heart and thought of a countermeasure.
After a pause, I finally figured out the next steps.
As soon as I looked at it, I frowned again, as if something was wrong, but looking at the scenery near the courtyard, where did it come from, except for the people walking around?
I suspect I was so nervous that I had delusions!
...... Ah Rong stood under the big tree by the bridge, and when I ran over, he looked a little anxious.
"Xiaolin, did the people from the big kitchen see you when you go to pick up things...... Sorry for you? ”
He looked me up and down, as if to make sure that something unpleasant had happened to me, so that he had been in for a long time.
In Ah Rong's impression, we were embarrassed when we first arrived at the house, and I was taken away at night, and everything shows that the people here are not friendly.
He was worried that I was being calculated, and it was the concern of my peers.
Ah Rong remembered my scruples, and this time he didn't reach out to put his hand on my shoulder or anything like that.
"Nothing," I denied.
Then I looked at him and plucked up the courage to ask, "But Ah Rong, can I ask you for a favor?" ”
He listened to me solemnly, and couldn't help but look at me and asked suspiciously: "Xiaolin, if you really have something difficult, you must tell me directly!" ”
"Don't worry, it doesn't really matter, it's just that you'll have to wait here for me for a while."
Hearing this, the suspicious expression on Ah Rong's face did not disappear at all, and he stared at me and asked, "Where are you going?" Kobayashi? ”
"I'm leaving, you can help watch the things you brought first."
After hesitating, I looked at him and said affirmatively: "Ah Rong, I said that I would come back soon, and I will explain to you carefully when I come back." ”
I handed him the ingredients and asked him to look after them for me.
"You do me a favor, and I'll make you a good snack when I go back to the courtyard."
Ah Rong stared at the other basket in my hand and asked, "Xiaolin, you want to go, isn't it heavy to carry things?" I don't need to help you hold that? ”
My heart was beating fast, and I quickly said, "No, I can take it." ”
I settled down and continued: "Ah Rong, I actually went to the neighborhood and came back soon, so I didn't have time to explain so much to you. ”
Under Ah Rong's gaze, I ran away as fast as I could.
I stood at the intersection as I turned the corner to make sure I was on the wrong track.
It was supposed to be the way to the backyard.
For now, I can only gamble, by luck.
Based on the information we have so far, we can't go wrong!
...... I hid in the bushes, listened to the sound of footsteps in the distance, and couldn't help but poke my head out to take a look.
Once I was sure that the man was right, I made a quick detour of the trail and walked as far in front of him as I could.
...... In the courtyard of the house, on a path leading to the backyard, I suddenly ran out and collided with someone.
The man fell to the ground, and the box in his hand almost fell to the ground with him, and I quickly grabbed it and held it in my hand.
At that moment, my heart was beating fast.
Everything was done in a short period of time, and when he noticed it, if he showed a little flaw, it would be over.
"You don't have long eyes, what are you rambling indiscriminately!"
Standing on the path, the squire, who looked young, took the box I handed him back, looked at me and said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to deliver something to the female officer, so I'm running a little faster," I explained to him urgently, looking more scared than him, "I really didn't see you!" ”
"You're new here?"
Later, he looked at me and asked.
"yes, it's only been a few days since I came."
"This is something sent to the National Teacher, if it falls to the ground, who do you say?"
I hurriedly apologized to him, cowering and bowing my head.
He stood on the road and complained a few words in succession, and finally remembered that he had more important things, and he couldn't delay any longer, so he hurried to the backyard.
When he walked away, I straightened up and looked at his back, the big stone in my heart had not yet fully landed.
The attendant found the newcomer and took on a tricky errand for the time being, and I was sure that the one who had gone to the attic before would not have been the one who had just run to the attic.
The people in the house are just like when they are in the palace, they will push difficult errands to others, and even push them out without the newcomer knowing the inside story.
I looked left and right, walked to a remote corner of the courtyard, walked through the bushes, and then crouched on the ground and slowly opened the box.
Inside, you can see the stew pot next to the small stove on the side of the large kitchen, and you can see that each of them looks similar.
I hesitated for a moment and gently opened the lid.
After a long pause, I sighed and found a place to hide the box before leaving.
...... Ah Rong stood by the bridge, still anxiously waiting.
When he saw me appear, his eyes flashed and he immediately ran over.
"Xiaolin, aren't you a road idiot? Where did you just go? ”
Ah Rong looked at my empty hand, and couldn't help but ask again: "Xiaolin, what was the thing you were holding in your hand before?" Why is it gone now? ”
I know he has a whole bunch of questions, but I can't really give him answers right now.
I was silent for a moment, then raised my head to look at him and shook my head helplessly: "Ah Rong, don't worry about that for the time being." ”
"I'll tell you more about it when we go back to the courtyard."
Ah Rong was a little stunned, looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, but it's ......"
I interrupted him: "Ah Rong, we have already delayed some time, Master Wan and the others will definitely be in a hurry in the courtyard." ”
I still can't tell him the details, but I still have to think about how to fulfill this lie.
............ In the attic of Linhu, Mo Yan stayed in the lower hall.
At this moment, he was standing at the table, opening the medicinal food that had been sent early in the morning and looking at it.
Before long, Mo Yan couldn't help but shake his head, the courtyard of the Heart Dao Mansion was really not as good as the palace, and he was negligent in management.
Is it necessary to mention it to the empress?
What the hell are those guys in the big kitchen doing?!
Fortunately, Childe's daily life and diet are carefully cooked by him, and he really won't take the medicinal food they send casually.
However, this kind of mistake, in Mo Yan's view, once there will be a second time.
Unexpectedly, he was hesitating, thinking about whether to mention it to Childe first...... The man sent by the large kitchen was again outside the attic.
When he heard the knock on the door, he turned around and walked over to open it, even Mo Yan was surprised.
You can see that the man is clearly holding the same food box in his hand.
Listening to the other party say a series of sorry words one after another, Mo Yan was expressionless.
It's nothing more than pleading with him, and the people who stay in the big kitchen to cook the meals must not want this matter to be stabbed to the top.
...... After the person from the big kitchen said a word of apology and left, Mo Yan put the newly delivered food box on the table and opened it.
Who would have expected that the bigger "surprise" was waiting behind, and when the lid of the stew pot contained in it was uncovered, Mo Yan glanced at it, and the whole person froze!
...... Confused and a little annoyed, until he walked upstairs, Mo Yan couldn't completely calm his emotions.
Looking out of the window, the courtyard was picturesque, and Mo Yan's eyes suddenly focused on the figure in the house.
The soft light was projected on Yun Chu's face, but Mo Yan didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, and Yu Guang saw that his son-in-law's complexion seemed to be much better, but he couldn't be happy.
Thinking of what the dark guard said when he left, Mo Yan's mood became even lower.
Yun Chu raised his head and glanced at him, and said in a gentle tone: "Something?" ”
Mo Yan paused and said a little depressedly: "Childe, since we came here in Beidi Town, the people in the big kitchen in the house are really outrageous!" ”
