The empress looked at the person kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes, and after a while, she turned around and went to the front of the case.

The pen walked around the dragon and wrote a line of words on the paper.

Reaching out and folding it, he walked back to her and handed the folded note over.

Seeing that the kneeling man answered, the empress specially added an instruct: "Send this letter to the north gate later."

A trace of doubt flashed on the female officer's face, her lips moved slightly, and she didn't dare to ask more questions after receiving the letter.

A moment passed, and the attendant who was waiting outside the door saw the female officer who came out of him, stepped forward and bowed and saluted, "My lord."

The female officer nodded and hurried away.

The squire looked in the direction she had left, then turned to look at the lighted room and frowned.

The doors and windows were closed, and the interior was pitch black.

I lay on the chuang, looking at the top of the tent and squinting my eyes.

I just heard the movement outside the door, and I also noticed that an uninvited visitor in the middle of the night stopped outside my door.

I was ready, but the other party quietly walked away.

It's the kind of day I haven't been able to experience for a while.

Once, when I lived in the courtyard where Ji Jiu was, I encountered overnight visitors more than once.

At that time, I had a principle, as long as the other party didn't hit me in front of me and disturb my dreams, it was none of my business to let him turn the world outside the house.

In the midst of chaos, the best way to deal with it is better to have more than less.

Even so, this midnight visitor stop makes me feel a little strange, the scarface man is definitely not, if you are a little four, it is impossible to pass through the door.

Both of these people have something to come to the door, and they must have a way of saying.

I can hear the footsteps just now. The body is very light, and in my judgment, I can perceive that the other party is a woman.

When you think about it, things become intriguing.

Could it be that the people of the Qingsi Temple have come to explore the way, could it be that they know that the mystery is unsolved and the crucial box has come to me?

No, it can't be.

I immediately dismissed this idea, absolutely impossible.

Scarface's conversation with me. And before I came to the flower garden. Definitely do enough secrecy, so put aside this assumption, if it is really a person from the Qingsi Temple. Is there another one that might be bigger?

The booklet left by Master Qingzhi is now half and half in two places.

Last time, I asked He Yanzhi to send the remaining half of the booklet to his study in the Lin De Palace.

Now. Still with a seal, he slept soundly on the top floor of the shelf in his study.

Even if the people of Qingsi Hall are going to protect the elusive Lin De Temple. It will only be useless work.

Compared with the flower garden, He Yanzhi's sense of security under his nose is much higher.

I have a kind of trust in He Yanzhi for no reason, I think that since he is willing to agree, he will definitely be able to help me keep the secret, and the people of Qingsi Hall did not get the whereabouts of the booklet so quickly.

I won't forget the scene I saw lurking in the bamboo garden. To this day, I still have a shadow in my heart.

With He Yanzhi's method, I prefer to believe that even a fly flies into his courtyard. He could smell it.

Therefore, the people of the Qingsi Temple are not clear about the situation. It must be the same as at the beginning, convinced that the other half of the booklet is still in the flower garden.

Are they going to try their luck in the flower garden?

When you think about it, it seems much more reasonable!

With this premise, it can be imagined that the person who came to explore the path in the middle of the night must not have just wandered outside my house.

I'm afraid that it's Qingzhi's side, the outside of the warehouse, and even the boundary of the greenhouse.

It was late at night, but the two people playing in front of the chessboard were in good spirits.

He Yanzhi fell, raised his head and looked at Xiao Sidao, who was contemplative: "It's your turn."

The latter smiled slightly, thought for a moment before coming up.

There are very few pieces on the board, and this game is extraordinarily long.

If there is a person watching the game carefully, you will definitely notice that the two people playing chess seem to be a little absent-minded.

Especially He Yanzhi on the left, it is more obvious than the person on the right, he is holding a chess piece in his hand, and his eyes sweep in the direction of the courtyard from time to time.

The shadow of the tree pupils, the night fog lingered, and He Yanzhi seemed to be waiting for something.

Xiao Si is such a keen person, he has long observed that the other party's state at the moment is not in the game, he knows it in his heart but also patiently does not ask, and continues to quietly accompany him to finish this game of chess.

As time passed, He Yanzhi's anxiety finally slowly revealed.

The game is something that requires a high level of concentration to do, and he has been able to keep the game until now with this poor state, and he has also borrowed the light that the opponent has not done his best.

At this moment, He Yanzhi was a little careless, and he fell into the wrong place.

Xiao Si smiled and said: "There are no regrets, this game is conceded!"

He Yanzhi glanced at him and said, "I'm not in a state today, how can I not see it with your eyesight, I haven't asked you yet, is it just for this to come here in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Si raised his head and looked at him and said, "What are you waiting for, what am I waiting for?!"

He Yanzhi raised his eyes, looked at him quietly for a while, and then said bluntly: "I'll wait for news."

"Just like you."

Xiao Si put away the chess pieces in the board, stood up and walked to . [,！ window, his eyes looked in the direction of the bamboo forest, and after a while, he didn't know what he heard, and instantly smiled: "It's coming."

In the small courtyard of the national capital, the old man was watching the man in blue place Mr. Bai.

The latter appeared to be asleep, lying quietly in the carriage at the moment.

The coachman who was waiting by the car was not the one who sent them all the way to the national capital, but the man in blue who was transferred from him.

The old man glanced at Mr. Bai, who was sleeping soundly in the carriage, put down the curtain and turned his head to the blue-clothed man: "I said it earlier, this is more in line with your style, I know that you kid has a lot of calculations and a lot of eyes."

"Where is this going to take him?"

The man in blue glanced at the old man inexplicably and said, "Naturally, I went to the sea country."

"All the gifts I gave him were on him, where do you think I'm going to send him?"

"On the class master's side, what are you going to do?"

The old man asked after thinking about it.

"The pillars can be on the road smoothly, if he wants the troupe to continue," the man in blue paused and continued, "In addition to keeping up with the footsteps of others. What else can you do if you follow it?"

"Are you so sure? Wouldn't the troupe owner get the opportunity to stay and gain a foothold in the capital city because of a trip to the palace?"

"Master," the man in blue looked at him helplessly, "how could I not think of the problem you can think of."

"It's really the pillar of the platform is gone, and the replacement can't stay with him. He didn't have a choice."

The old man snorted in his nostrils, "Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too confident. You think it's a last resort, but it's not."

"Who said I had no last resort and was just used to deal with the situation at hand. That's enough."

The man in blue held his hands behind him, raised his eyes to look at the sky that was gradually brightening, and said in a low voice: "Wait for half an hour, and I will go to the small courtyard where the troupe is stationed to meet the class master."

"After entering the palace. I will do my best to pass on the situation in the palace to you, master."

"You can wait for the news of the little junior sister, you can rest assured."

The man in blue finished speaking. The corners of his mouth moved: "And what you asked me to bring to the little junior sister, I will definitely help you bring it."

When the old man heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly: "You are not allowed to pit me, I said that it will be delivered. Don't end up in your own pocket."

"It's hard to say anything else, but little junior sister here, you can rest assured."

The man in blue was well aware of his concerns. Relieved.

"I'm not at ease, can I rest assured? Last time, I asked her to go to Dongping Palace. As a result, there was such a big mistake," the old man said worriedly, "This time you are not allowed to repeat the same mistakes, you have entered the palace, and you have left people in the national capital"

"It's not like the last time in Dongping Palace, there is no internal response from us at all, eat a trench and grow wise, in short, you must protect her safety."

"Peace is more important than anything else."

"You can rest assured of this," the man in blue said with a deep look in his eyes, "There are not only people on my side in the palace, but also you know."

"Hey," the old man shook his head again and again, "It's because of that unconscious person that I'm worried, that person is your little sister's calamity."

"As long as you run into him, your junior sister will go out of the way."

"You say this, as if Xiao Ling'er has always followed the rules, which of the apprentices you taught is worry-free?"

The old man glared at him and said, "Aren't you my apprentice?" Aren't you afraid to knock when you say this?"

The two attendants who were guarding outside the empress's study waited for most of the hour, but they did not see the empress come out, nor did they see anyone else coming to look for them.

One of them twitched the corners of his mouth, quietly reached out his finger, and gestured to the other.

The latter nodded knowingly, and the gesturing attendant hurried along a path in the courtyard.

The attendant went out and walked on a secluded path that few people in the palace.

This road, not to mention at night, is in broad daylight, and few people pass through.

He deliberately thought about the route he chose, and kept walking along the path to the direction of the Lin De Temple, but halfway through the road, he was filled with a person who suddenly turned the corner.

The two men looked at each other for a few seconds, each took a step to the side, and passed by.

After walking a long distance, they looked back at each other's backs.

The wind of the bamboo forest blew, and Xiao Si and He Yanzhi stood under the corridor, looking at the direction outside the courtyard with the same attitude.

"Your hand is too long." Xiao Si complimented, "I can't believe that in such a short period of time, you can actually set up so many people in the palace."

Xiao Si's eyes flashed with curiosity: "What I can't figure out is, when did you start planning?"

"It's not something that can be done in a short period of time to be so meticulous."

He Yanzhi looked sideways at him and did not respond.

After a long time, he whispered: "People die for money, birds die for food, you have more understanding of this sentence than me." (To be continued)
