Listening to what I said clearly, the palace maid put the basket in her hand on the ground, and her face softened a lot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She looked at me and said softly: "Xiaolin, after the female officer finishes asking, there will be no one to lead the way for you, right?" ”

I looked worried and nodded at the palace maid.

The person who appeared in the small courtyard did not know the identity of the other party in advance, and I was led to a remote courtyard and the person who blended into the attendant line...... The motive itself is impure.

Can you show me the way after asking...... It's a fantasy.

However, there is no need to inform anyone about these details.

Because I was able to resolve the crisis with my own strength.

"Xiaolin, you're not familiar with this place yet," the palace maid paused and continued, "The mansion is quite large, and there are many forks in the road. ”

Yes, otherwise, how could Ah Rong tell me one thing over and over again.

In fact...... What I need is a map of the house!

At that moment, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

I thought of someone I could turn to, about ...... Map things.

I was silent for a moment, suppressed the thoughts in my heart, and looked up at the palace maid again.

I said in a somewhat frustrated tone, "Yes, sister, I can't find my way back when I turn around." ”

"I was worried, so I didn't even see it just now."

The palace maid looked at me and smiled, "Xiaolin, I know the road in the house. ”

"Tell me, what is your place like to live?"

I looked at her and smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, I can't tell you where I live...... Looking out there...... It's a small yard near a wood. ”

"Because I haven't been here for long!"

The palace maid looked at me and nodded.

I thought about it for a moment, and said in a changed tone: "But I know that the place where I live is very close to the flower garden, because I was ...... I've seen people in the flower beds come over. ”

"Does my sister know how to get to the flower garden?"

Find your way to the flowerbed, which is the same location, but just a little longer walking.

When the palace maid heard this, she suddenly showed a sudden look, she looked at me and answered: "By the way, I remembered that there was indeed a sister who mentioned that there were craftsmen in our house last night. ”

She looked down and pondered, "When she mentioned it, she said it was ...... Stayed in the courtyard closest to the flower garden. ”

"That's right, it's the yard in that area."

The palace maid looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, I'll take you for a while, it's really easy to detour here." ”

My gaze fell on the corridor and rockery in the distance, and then I retracted my gaze to look at the palace maid walking beside me, and smiled at her and said, "Sister, is the basket you are carrying sinking?" ”

"If you want to help me lead the way, why don't you ...... I'll help you with the basket. ”

Someone led the way, the problem was solved immediately, and I had no worries.

Especially with the palace maids in the house by my side, I am even less worried about those unknown people making up their minds again.

They managed to blend into the house...... After all, there are scruples in my heart.

As I heard before...... The words of their quarrel with each other.

You can hear it inside and outside the words, and those people must have something they want to do when they get into the house.

At least the conclusion of the matter of bringing me there, according to my judgment...... It's just one of the seemingly deviant disobedient people - his own thoughts.

Thinking that he was even pushed back by me when he introduced himself, I felt a little happy in my heart!

...... I carried the basket and followed the palace maid and walked quietly.

She glanced sideways at me, and asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Xiaolin, I heard that there were several people who were repairing the carriage in the mansion, didn't they?" ”

When I heard this, I immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sister." ”

"There are three of us, and one of them is transferred from the front-line camp, called Ah Rong."

I lowered my head and thought about it, looked at her and continued: "And Master Wan and me, the two of us were transferred here from the pioneer camp. ”

These news, even if I don't say it, as long as the palace maid inquires, it is not a secret in the house.

It's better to be frank and make a good impression on her.

"Pioneer camp, is this the camp where General Han is?"

I was slightly stunned when I heard this, thinking of General Han's age, it is not uncommon for a young officer like him to be a little well-known among the palace maids.

"Yes, it was General Han who sent me."

The palace maid glanced at me and couldn't help but sigh: "Since you have just arrived and are not familiar with the road, why don't the people who lead you guide you after the questioning is over!" ”

She paused, and said with a depressed look on her face: "There are some ...... in this group of people who have come recently. I don't know the rules. ”

Hearing this, my heart sank.

For a moment, I remembered the conversation I had overheard on the path in the courtyard.

At that time, I was hiding there and listening, and I heard the two palace maids also complaining in private.

Thereinto...... They mentioned the newcomers to the house...... A few of them don't look like they came out of the palace.

They also said that the men didn't even pass the rules, and they didn't know how they were sent to the Northlands.

It's the same as the content of the complaint I heard from the palace maid right now.

More than one person felt that way, and it was clear that the squires were indeed coming from a bit of a problem, as they had discussed.

In private, it's already a consensus.

The person who took me to the secluded courtyard just now was naturally one of the members.

Did they sneak into the mansion where the Empress lived in the town of Northland really have anything to do with the situation in Northland?

My intuition tells me that there must be some reason behind it, but I know that the palace maid may just be emotionally expressive.

At this time, I couldn't follow her wishes, so I had to keep silent.

Otherwise, if I pay too much attention, I may attract the attention of others.

In fact, in a crowded place, it's always right to keep a low profile, in my opinion...... It's better than gossip.

I walked silently with my head bowed, and the palace maid glanced at me, which may be understood as I felt wronged.

So she looked at me and comforted: "Xiaolin, it's okay, you can rest assured that I will help you lead the way." ”

She thought for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Xiaolin, you didn't go to the backyard, did you?" ”

I responded, "No, what's wrong with the backyard?" ”

There are people in the house who keep talking about it, but I want to hear about it...... What will be mentioned in different mouths?

The palace maid glanced at me and said, "Xiaolin, you may not know about the newcomer...... Our national teacher lives in the attic of the lake in the backyard. ”

"Master Guoshi?"

"Well, it's a forbidden place! Except for His Majesty, there is hardly anyone who usually goes. ”

I was a little distracted.

"Xiaolin, next time you don't know the way, just wait where you are, don't run around."

The palace maid looked at me and said in a sincere tone: "Last time, someone broke into the backyard by mistake and was taken away by the guards...... I heard that I was beaten by a board! ”

I stopped and looked at the maid in a daze.

She was amused by my expression, looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, don't worry, just a reminder!" ”

"If you stay where you are, someone will pass by, and then you can ask how to get there."

"However, since you're here, you'd better familiarize yourself with the road here as soon as possible."

The palace maid said a few words one after another, and I could hear that the other party was obviously kind, and after thinking about it, I looked at her and said gratefully: "Thank you sister for reminding me." ”

...... Crossing the path and seeing the familiar forest ahead, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the palace maid and was about to thank him.

Suddenly, a man came running from the path in the woods.

Ah Rong came to me, looked at me breathlessly, and said, "Xiao, Xiaolin, you guy, are you okay?!" ”

He stretched out his hand and turned me around, took a closer look, and then said reassuringly: "It's okay, I'm back safe and sound!" ”

Ah Rong's strength is too great, and he almost pushed me to a stumble with one shot, this guy is so angry!

The palace maid frowned beside her and said, "Xiaolin, is this the person who lives in the small courtyard with you?" ”

Before I could answer her, Ah Rong turned his head to look at her, was stunned for a moment and said, "You called Xiaolin away?" ”

"No, you're mistaken, I was called for questioning, and this sister met me on the way back."

I looked at Ah Rong, then lowered my head and said, "I still don't know the way, when I come out after asking...... I almost went where I shouldn't have been. ”

I pointed to the palace maid, looked at Ah Rong and said, "Fortunately, I met this sister to lead the way!" ”

Ah Rong stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder, looked at the palace maid and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for your trouble!" ”

"Xiao Lin really doesn't know the way, my master asked me to come to him!"

The palace maid couldn't help laughing, reached out and took the basket from my hand and said, "Xiaolin, then I'll go." ”

"Sister, what's your name? I, I don't know yet! ”

The palace maid took a few steps, turned her head to look at me and smiled, "My name is Huiping." ”

"Sister Huiping, thank you!"

...... Watching the palace maid walk away, Ah Rong reached out and patted me on the shoulder again and said, "Xiaolin, you guy is really a peach blossom!" ”

I glanced at him and didn't answer, where is this!

Ah Rong snapped his fingers and said, "Xiaolin, think about yourself...... One moment it's a girl in the flower garden, and another moment it's a palace maid's sister, you really haven't been idle for a moment. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"By the way, Master Wan was startled when he saw the note you left, and told me to hurry up and go out to find you!"

Ah Rong stared at me with a puzzled expression on his face, and couldn't help but ask, "Who called you away before?" Kobayashi? ”

Ah Rong took a step closer to me, and then asked, "Xiaolin, where did you meet the palace maid?" ”

He asked, "What did the person who told you to come ask asked?" Is there any embarrassment for you? ”

I looked at him and said with a helpless look: "Alas, why do you have so many questions, which one do I have to answer first?" ”

His personality is a bit different from the impression I had when I saw him on the first day.

I'm thinking...... Is it because when they were in the front-line camp, their individuality was suppressed.

In addition, he was brought to the mansion for questioning, and even the empress saw him, so when I saw him on the first day, he looked a little timid.

In fact, it doesn't seem to be the case at all!

Can I understand from another angle, since the soldiers in the front-line camp are like this, there must be more than one Ah Rong.

Look...... The eldest sister of the Gu family is very capable of controlling the people under her in the army.

I looked at Ah Rong, put aside other thoughts, and asked me the question I was most concerned about at this moment: "Ah Rong, by the way, you went out, did you get the pot?" ”

After listening, he immediately answered: "Come on, let's tell you, it took a little trouble, and I went to the warehouse of the big kitchen to find the extra pot." ”

He rolled his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Xiaolin, ...... you at night?" What are you going to do to eat? ”

Ah Rong looked at me happily and asked, "Now, we should have some hot soup to drink, right?" ”

"That's natural, yours is indispensable."

I responded calmly, frowned and looked at him and asked, "You went out with Master Wan for the sake of tools...... Have you found any missing tools for repairing the carriage? ”

I thought about it and continued, "It's better to plan...... Going out and buying? ”

Ah Rong replied to me: "The tools are indeed missing, Master Wan said that he will plan to do it tomorrow, so he has to take me back." ”

"If you want to talk about going out, I only went out last night, and the house is different after all!"

I understood Master Wan's concerns, looked at Ah Rong and nodded deeply, "I think so too, it has to be separated for a while, and it must not be connected to go out." ”

"When Master Wan went to the town to buy things before, two people came out of the mansion to follow him," I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, and then said in a calm tone, "I heard that one is an attendant, and the other is a handyman working in the mansion." ”

"It depends on the situation, and I want to go out next time...... At least one more day! ”

"Strange, Xiaolin, on the way back, what Master Wan said to me is exactly the same as what you say now!"

Ah Rong showed a confused expression, looked at me for a few seconds before he said, "Xiaolin, why do you think the same?" It's weird. ”

It's not because I have the same concerns, the situation here is special!

I lowered my head and thought about it, looked at Ah Rong and asked, "Ah Rong, when I was leaving, did Master Wan drink the medicinal soup on the table in the room after he came back?" ”

"Xiaolin, as soon as we came back, Master Wan urged me to come out to find you, saying that I was worried about you, where did I have the time to keep an eye on this!"

Thinking about it, it makes sense, I looked at Ah Rong and smiled: "Okay, it's because I didn't think about it well." ”
